At midnight, the sky was getting dark, and the dinner party started on time.
Qingzhou Mu Li Chu was wearing a brocade robe with wavy patterns and a smile on his face. He was sitting at the top, while Su Yan and his group were standing below, looking sideways at Li Chu's position.
There are ten square tables built into the hall, five on each side below Li Chu. They are less than one meter long and wide, with a mahogany base and hollow patterns on the sides. They are antique. Su Yan and his entourage and important officials from the other two prefectures are
Separate everywhere.
"Okay, everyone, please sit down." Li Chu said loudly, smiling and pressing his palms.
"Thank you, sir!" Everyone bowed and responded in unison, and then sat down individually.
After everyone in the hall sat down, the waiter standing at the door called out, and a group of graceful maids filed in, holding various dishes and wine in their hands and placing them on the table.
For a time, the hall was filled with fragrance and the sounds of laughter and conversation could be heard one after another.
After the noise passed, Li Chu's voice rang out.
"The general led his army to defeat the barbarian cavalry this time and relieved the siege of Qingzhou. It is really a blessing for our Qingzhou! The general is indeed the pillar of the empire. Come, I will give you a toast to the general!"
"Haha, your Excellency is overly complimentary, but I still have to thank you for your hospitality. Come on, everyone, let's toast you together!" Wu Meng stood up and laughed loudly, and then led several other generals to stand up and drink the glass of wine together.
.
After Wu Meng drank the wine in the glass, he did not sit down. Instead, he pointed his palm towards Su Yan and said towards Li Chu: "Sir, if we want to win such a big victory this time, Su Yan's contribution is indispensable."
, without his strategy, I am afraid we would still be in a stalemate on the battlefield."
"Haha, I've heard that Su Yan is so resourceful at such a young age that he caused a flood that almost wiped out all the barbarians. It's not easy to make those generals who have high standards think so highly of him." Li
Chu looked at Su Yan standing aside, his admiration beyond words.
After hearing this, the others also agreed and raised their hands to congratulate Su Yan.
"Master Li, I remember that when Su Yan came here to reveal the list, you still didn't seem to believe him. How about now?" Wu Meng was also very happy and teased Li Chu.
"Ah? Haha, you Wu Meng, you dare to make fun of me. Who would have thought that he could really defeat the enemy at his young age? Aren't you also doubtful? Su Yan, I have to apologize to you.
Ah, I didn't really believe you at that time." Seeing Wu Meng's teasing words, Li Chu laughed and shook his head, then looked at Su Yan.
Although Su Yan knew that Li Chu was joking, how could he be so ignorant that he really asked the Lord of a state to apologize to him, so he hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord, you are serious. I also relied on a bit of luck. Besides, it's not that important."
It’s so important that it’s natural for adults not to trust it completely.”
After Li Chu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. The admiration in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he smiled and said: "Heroes come from young, you can see them like this at a young age, your future achievements will be limitless! Come on,
Pour the wine!"
Su Yan held the wine glass in his hand, clinked it with Li Chu in the air, drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the filled glass again, raised it towards the people below, and drank it all again.
"Okay!" The generals below all cheered. People in the army like bold people the most. Su Yan's actions made them even happier. Then they all raised their glasses to Su Yan, laughing continuously.
After three drinks, a row of graceful women dressed in light gauze came in and danced gracefully to the sound of wind music in the center of the hall. They were so beautiful that everyone cheered.
After a while, everyone became more and more happy. The serious atmosphere at the beginning had disappeared. Drinks were served to each other, shouts and laughter resounded throughout the courtyard. Because Wu Meng admired Su Yan, everyone was so impressed by this.
The young man was very affectionate, and there were countless people who came to persuade him to drink. After a while, Su Yan's face turned red.
Fortunately, Su Yan had a good drinking capacity, but after this attack he had to drink him down.
About half an hour later, when the wine was almost finished, Li Chu drank away the dancers in the hall, looked at the blushing Su Yan and said with a smile: "Su Yan, I heard General Wu Meng said that you don't want any reward.
, is this possible?"
When Su Yan saw Li Chu asking questions, he replied solemnly: "It is indeed true. I may be about to enter the general's palace to study. Those things are not of much use to me, so I declined."
Li Chu listened to his words, nodded slightly, and then said: "Let's do this. I will give you a hundred taels of gold as a small compensation for your hard work. In addition, I will also write to the court to request a reward for you."
Su Yan might make others think too much if he didn't respond. Besides, he couldn't live without money in this world, so he agreed.
When Wu Meng saw that Su Yan had agreed, he felt quite happy, and then said to him: "Su Yan, you must seize this opportunity to enter the general's palace. This is very important to you."
Su Yan nodded thoughtfully. To be honest, he didn't care too much about this so-called "general" because he didn't know much about it. He only heard people mention it a few times, and when Wu Meng mentioned it, he took advantage of it.
This is an opportunity to ask: "I wonder if the general can tell me what is so extraordinary about this general's palace?"
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. They didn't expect that Su Yan would ask such a question. Then Li Chu asked curiously: "Don't you know?"
Su Yan smiled sheepishly and replied, "I just heard someone mention it, so I don't know much about it."
Li Chu was a little surprised, and then his eyes became solemn and said: "Using extraordinary to describe the General Palace is too petty. The General Palace can be said to be the most important place in our Gu Yu Dynasty. It is so sacred and its importance is not at all
No less than a million-strong army.”
Su Yan's eyes became surprised. He didn't expect that this general's palace would be so important, beyond his expectation.
"It can be said that all the famous generals who have fought on the battlefield in our empire have basically experienced the teachings of the generals. The generals who were born in the generals are almost synonymous with famous generals and are called the cradle of generals. The descendants are taught in the generals' palace.
The instructors are all masters of military art of the generation, or generals who once made a name for themselves in the world, and their sacredness can be imagined. In addition, the generals also teach martial arts, recruit and train talented people, and train them to become future leaders.
The strategic resources of the empire, it is said that there is a legendary emperor among the honorary elders of the general palace."
At this time, there was no sound in the huge hall. Everyone was listening to Li Chu's words quietly and marveling.
Li Chu took a sip of tea carefully, then looked at Su Yan who was stunned, smiled, and continued: "Rather than saying that the General Palace is a school, it is the most important strategic resource of our Gu Yu Dynasty.
The general palace is famous all over the world. There have always been famous generals and powerful men who have conquered the battlefield and are respected by the world. Su Yan, what is so special about the general palace?"
