A banquet was specially held at Juyongguan to send him off.
All the soldiers involved in the battle have arrived.
The King of Minnan and the Taifu also came.
With some humility and the fact that the Minnan King almost knelt down to plead, Zhao Xiaole sat down at the head of the table.
After the usual rounds of flattery and toasts.
Everyone also said congratulations and expressed their concerns about the East Vietnamese going south.
After mentioning this matter.
Zhao Xiaole took the initiative and turned the conversation to the King of Southern Fujian. He asked, "What do you think of the Vietnamese going south?"
The King of Minnan was still stunned. After being reminded by the Taifu, he hurriedly said: "I, I don't have any opinion."
He was still thinking whether he should find an opportunity to capture Juyong Pass.
King Tu’s hegemony will be achieved.
Although, the King of Southern Fujian has been indulging in wine and sex for a long time.
But the scribe's words made him feel particularly tempting.
The barbarians retreated.
Zhao Xiaole went north.
From now on, he has the final say.
Then why can't I think of something big?
Readers, please do not misunderstand, one is greater than the other.
Therefore, when asked by Zhao Xiaole, he acted as if he had a guilty conscience and hurriedly replied with something confusing.
Zhao Xiaole did not want to let him go, and continued to ask: "By then, I will be heading north, and the barbarians have already retreated."
"In southern Fujian, the prince has the final say. I think the prince will be able to do great things."
After saying these words, the Minnan King almost fell to the ground.
He was so frightened that he almost cried, and said: "Master Hou, I have never had this intention, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"
Zhao Xiaole raised his glass and said, "I don't think so. If I were the prince, I would definitely consider taking over Juyong Pass."
"At that time, wouldn't you have the capital to compete for supremacy in the world?"
"I would like to offer you a toast first. When the prince competes for supremacy in the world, I hope that the prince will remember my kindness of helping you and let me go."
Zhao Xiaole finished speaking.
Everyone in the hall was quiet.
Only the Minnan King was left crying and begging for mercy.
Zhao Xiaole is going to kill someone!
No one dared to say anything because everyone could see that before Zhao Xiaole went north, the person he was most worried about was the King of Southern Fujian.
He was too high-profile before.
Even when his son was arrested, he didn't care.
How does Zhao Xiaole check and balance him?
There is no other way to deal with such people except killing them.
After realizing this, in order to avoid being regarded as a member of the Minnan King's lineage, who dares to speak for the Minnan King?
At this time, Taifu Wang of Southern Fujian saw that the situation was not good and quickly begged for mercy. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for the two of them to leave Juyongguan unharmed today.
The Taifu also quietly tugged on the Minnan King's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, if not, let's hand that man over and prove his innocence!"
The master was really panicked.
He forgot all about it.
If that person is handed over, wouldn't it confirm Zhao Xiaole's biggest worry?
Seeing that Zhao Xiaole had no reaction.
The Taifu even knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Xiaole for mercy.
The Taifu said: "What the Marquis blames is nothing more than his refusal to send troops to Yecheng."
"This matter was all done by Xiaguan alone and has nothing to do with the prince. If the prince wants to kill him, just kill him!"
Zhao Xiaole put down his wine glass and glanced at him lightly, "I have said that today is my farewell banquet and also your celebration banquet."
"Now that we are here, we are all heroes and there are no guilty ones!"
"You, a royal tutor, kneel down to me, what's going on? Get up!"
The Taifu was stunned and glanced at the Minnan King.
Neither of them could believe it.
Zhao Xiaole actually stopped holding them accountable.
Anyway.
This is all a good thing.
He calmly returned to his seat and sat blankly with the King of Minnan.
I just hope that the banquet will end soon.
They can also leave Juyongguan earlier.
It's not like they haven't been here before.
However, it has never once frightened them so much.
When dealing with Zhao Xiaole, I really couldn't figure out his tricks, and I didn't know why I died suddenly.
Such as Saihan.
Saihan's sudden death is still a mystery.
How did he die?
No one knows.
The most widely circulated theory is that the barbarian princess killed him.
Because she was worried that Saihan would become her strong enemy when he returned to China, so she got rid of him in advance in Jingyang.
This statement is widely recognized by everyone.
But Zhao Xiaole has long hidden his merit and fame.
After the banquet, the atmosphere gradually returned to the previous one.
Gradually he became happy.
And the Taifu and the King of Minnan were sitting there alone.
But no one paid attention to them.
Because everyone is thinking about one thing.
Saihan will become the political enemy of the barbarian princess, but what about the King of Southern Fujian?
Isn't he also Zhao Xiaole's biggest enemy?
Will Zhao Xiaole let the two of them die suddenly before leaving the south?
However, they don't know whether it will kill him suddenly or not.
The King of Minnan, however, had already looked like he was about to die.
It seemed as if his whole family was dead and he didn't have much time left.
Obviously, he had almost anticipated his fate.
At the end of the banquet, Zhao Xiaole wanted to say a few words to everyone, and everyone slowly became quiet.
Zhao Xiaole glanced at the crowd and said: "After I leave, Lu Xun's five thousand infantry will also go north. In addition, the two thousand cavalry who have been following me for a long time have already developed feelings for me and will also follow me.
Go north!"
This was something that had been discussed a long time ago. The Xunyang Prefect immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the officials have made arrangements. They have been learning to control Pixiu under the guidance of Man Ying in the past few days, but there are still vacancies for three thousand people."
.”
With the vacancy of 3,000 men, the Xunyang Prefect would definitely feel pain if he were to transfer more troops from Juyongguan.
Then, Zhao Xiaole looked at the King of Minnan and said, "Your Majesty, the war in the north is tense now. Can you send three thousand warriors to follow me north?"
The Minnan King was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
Zhao Xiaole asked him for three thousand people, but he didn't dare not give it.
In this battle with the barbarians, the Fan soldiers in southern Fujian suffered heavy losses, with their combat strength being less than 50,000.
Even so, these three thousand people still have to come out when they should.
However, Zhao Xiaole asked him for troops and horses, does that mean he will not be killed?
The King of Minnan nodded quickly, "Master Hou, I am willing, not to mention three thousand, even thirty thousand!"
At first, when he was asked to provide some help, Southern Fujian pushed back and blocked him.
Now, he wants to spend all his money to please Zhao Xiaole.
The Taifu on the side nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing with this matter.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Xiaole smiled slightly and said playfully: "King of Southern Fujian, actually I just said that I was not joking with you when I asked you to occupy Juyong Pass."
When the King of Minnan heard this, he almost cried again.
Why bring this up again?
Didn't we agree?
Can we still be good friends?
Then, the Minnan King trembled and knelt in front of Zhao Xiaole.
