Since he had to wait for reinforcements and had nothing to do, Xiao Jingxuan held a banquet in the meeting hall to reward the generals.
The scale of the banquet was quite large. In addition to the generals of each battalion, there were also some generals under their command and several captains who had made great achievements in the battle. There were more than sixty people in total.
After everyone arrived, Xiao Jingxuan raised his wine glass and drank with all the soldiers.
After drinking, Xiao Jingxuan took out a memorial from the commander's desk and shouted to the door: "Here comes someone."
I saw a personal guard walking in and kneeling on one knee in front of Xiao Jingxuan.
"This is a request for merit. You take it with you, along with the heads of the two barbarian emperors and the barbarian queen, and the barbarian emperor's banner. Remember, bring a few more people with you, and remember to publicize it loudly when you pass by the town.
.”
"Yes, the general will take the order."
After saying that, the guard took the fold and left.
Xiao Jingxuan raised his wine glass and said to the surroundings: "Everyone, I have handed over the papers to thank you for your merits. When the time comes, you will definitely be promoted to a higher position. Come and drink."
The generals began to drink one after another. At this time, Gongsun Sheng picked up the wine glass and toasted Xiao Jingxuan.
"General, we are going on an expedition without orders. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to be too arrogant."
After hearing Gongsun Sheng's words, the hall quickly became quiet. Yes, although the Wei Dynasty won this battle, Xiao Jingxuan and others did not call for troops after all.
Looking at the generals looking around, Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and decided to talk to these beloved generals about what was on his mind.
"Everyone, you are right. If we keep a low profile, the imperial court will definitely turn a blind eye to us and others who sent troops without calling. Otherwise, they will definitely investigate. But I still did it, why? Why?
Shock Xiaoxiao.”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingxuan looked around and continued: "I, Xiao Jingxuan, have blood on my hands and have slaughtered countless barbarians, old and young. To be honest, sometimes I even look down on myself, but I have to do this.
.Tell me, why is this?”
After hearing Xiao Jingxuan's question, the generals began to speak freely.
Some say it is to weaken the strength of the barbarians, some say it is for revenge. Some say it is to make achievements.
Xiao Jingxuan held back a glance at the guy who said he had made great achievements, and laughed and cursed.
"Damn it, in your eyes, is this the kind of person I am?"
After saying that, he smiled again. Looking at the generals around him, Xiao Jingxuan told the whole story.
"Everyone, I won't tell you about the situation in the court, but you must have heard about it. At this time when the world is about to be in chaos, I will use iron and blood to warn Xiaoxiao, Dawei, and these bloody brave men like us in the court.
Soldiers. No matter who it is, as long as they have thoughts that they shouldn't have, then Fan Yang's tens of thousands of soldiers will tear them into pieces."
After saying this, Xiao Jingxuan looked at the generals again, and Xiao Jingxuan picked up the wine bowl beside the table.
"For the sake of the imperial court, everyone, please drink this cup to the full."
"Dry."
All the soldiers raised their glasses together and drank the glass of wine.
After drinking the wine in the bowl, the guard next to him filled up the wine for Xiao Jingxuan. Xiao Jingxuan started talking again.
"There must be several people here who followed me from Fengzhou. When I first arrived in Fengzhou, I don't know how many people saw the tragic situation in Fengzhou, with ruins, rivers of blood, and large and small capitals.
I was very angry at the time. As a general and a Wei person, this was a blood feud. However, if everyone here is unhappy, although the barbarians are cruel, I understand them very well.
Do you know why? Because this is a war of races, a battle of survival, there is no right or wrong, only life and death.
In the barbarian grasslands, as long as there is a huge snowstorm in winter, countless cattle and sheep will freeze to death. In the next year, countless barbarians will inevitably starve. If they want to avoid starving to death, they can only invade south.
As the defensive side, we will inevitably be treated bloody by the barbarians, all in order to survive. Therefore, we will go out to the grasslands to defend ourselves from the enemy. Only in this way can we prevent the people under our rule from being massacred.
However, facing the barbarians who have been surviving on horseback since childhood, we are somewhat powerless, so we can only use all the methods we can, although they are cruel, they are effective.
This is our destiny. As a soldier, we must protect our homeland and our country. We are also defending our own citizens. The people of other countries have nothing to do with me."
So, everyone continued to drink another drink. Now that three drinks were over, it stands to reason that it would be time for a free carnival.
However, Xiao Jingxuan picked up the wine glass again and drank the fourth glass with the soldiers.
"Everyone, whether you are from a wealthy family or from a poor family, I hope that we can start and end and not let each other down."
The banquet lasted until very late, and all the soldiers drank to their heart's content. Many drunk generals were lying around in the meeting hall.
Looking at the ugly generals in the hall, Xiao Jingxuan shook his head. In fact, Xiao Jingxuan still had a lot of words in his heart that he had not said out loud. It is not possible now, the time has not come yet.
In the entire meeting hall, it is estimated that only Wei Ming can understand his thoughts.
Seeing that it was already late at night, Xiao Jingxuan, with the help of his personal guards, returned to the back office to rest.
In the next few days, all the soldiers were resting and not training. After all, this battle was indeed too hard.
On this day, the scouts who were out investigating finally brought back news about the barbarians. After listening to the scouts' report, Xiao Jingxuan finally understood the current situation of the barbarians.
As time passed, the barbarian Khan's court was brutally massacred, the barbarian emperor and barbarian queen died, and the news that the entire army of ten thousand golden wolf cavalry was annihilated finally spread throughout the grassland.
On the grassland, the six royal tribes began to prepare for war in the name of revenge. Messengers from all walks of life also frequently came in and out of each royal tribe. It was obvious that they planned to take action.
As for the Barbarian Khan Court, they were even more confused. First of all, the two princes fought for the position of the Barbarian Emperor. At this time, the generals of the Khan Court also supported their respective successors.
Today, the two princes, with the support of their respective supporters, each occupy half of the Khan Court, and confront each other with the original Khan Court as the boundary.
Although both sides are currently trying their best to exercise restraint, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this confrontation will not last long and a war is not far away.
As for the Krutai and Woruji tribes closest to Xiao Jingxuan, they have no time to care about themselves for the time being.
Of course, even if they had time, at this special time, they would not dare to fight with Jam Hsiao to avoid being annexed by other forces.
It can be said that today's grassland is like a dynamite barrel that can be detonated at any time.
After getting the news, Xiao Jingxuan ordered to gather all the troops from Langtou Mountain, bring all the supplies, and set off towards Shenzhou.
It can be said that there are a lot of supplies in Langtoushan. A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle and sheep, and countless luggage.
The team transporting supplies stretched for more than ten miles, which was very spectacular, and this did not include the supplies on the war horses.
Watching the mighty team driving in the snow, Xiao Jingxuan felt a sense of pride in his heart.
When the army was halfway through the journey, they met Huangfu Song and others who came to meet them. So the two armies merged and marched towards Shenzhou together.
After several days of forced march, the army finally returned to Shenzhou.
After arriving in Shenzhou, Xiao Jingxuan left some supplies to Shenzhou, and then asked the camp owners to transport some cattle, sheep, and furs back to various farms.
Then each army returned to their respective stations at the beginning, and Xiao Jingxuan also returned to Yingzhou with the Chinese army and the guards battalion with the carriages transporting supplies.
After arriving in Yingzhou, looking at the supplies being transported into the warehouse by the army, Ling Tuizhi, the chief officer of the household, and Shi Ding Weiran, the chief, were both happy from ear to ear.
After learning that a lot of supplies had been sent to farms in various counties, both of them almost went crazy with excitement.
After further greetings with the civil and military officials in Yingzhou, Xiao Jingxuan asked the army to return to their respective camps, and he took two hundred personal guards back to the Jiedu Envoy's residence.
The first thing Xiao Jingxuan did when he arrived at the mansion was to hold a meeting. At the meeting, Xiao Jingxuan appointed Wei Ming as the Right Chief of the Jiedushi Palace.
At the same time, Xiao Jingxuan divided the work of the two directors.
Ding Weiran was in charge of the government affairs of the three houses of officials, workers, and li, while Wei Ming was in charge of the government affairs of the three houses of military, household, and Xing.
As for other vacant positions, they will be promoted after a period of time. However, now, most of the positions in the Jiedushi Mansion have been staffed, and there will be no difficulty in running them.
After some time, it will be the annual Shangyuan Festival, and Xiao Jingxuan plans to take this opportunity to celebrate properly.
After finishing the meeting with the officials, Xiao Jingxuan returned to his room and began to heal.
After the battle with the four masters under the Barbarian Emperor in the Khan Court, the injury has not fully recovered. Now that I am not busy with military affairs, I need to recover as soon as possible.
After three days of seclusion, Xiao Jingxuan finally recovered from his injuries. Xiao Jingxuan had previously achieved a breakthrough in Sanyuan Guan. Now, after fighting against the four masters of the barbarians, although he has not broken through the realm, he has gained a new understanding of martial arts.
Now, after Xiao Jingxuan has been fighting on the battlefield, coupled with the collection of books in Sanyuan Guanfa Hall, he is finally about to take his own path.
Xiao Jingxuan is currently creating his own sword technique. Although he had some understanding of it when he was in Guiyi Realm, it is still a prototype.
However, now, Xiao Jingxuan has created his own first sword technique "Cut the Universe with One Sword".
Although there is currently only one set of sword techniques, Xiao Jingxuan believes that when he completely digests the Sanyuan Guan collection, he will have more insights.
After the retreat was completed, Xiao Jingxuan inspected the preparations for the Shangyuan Festival.
After watching the preparations for the Lantern Festival in the ceremony room, Xiao Jingxuan was quite satisfied.
In addition to entertaining Fan Yang's civil and military officials, he also had fun with the people and held a grand lantern festival in the city. This chapter has been completed!
