On the second day, Shi Min received a military order, ordering him to capture Xiangyang after the beginning of spring.
After receiving the military order, all the generals in the tent were gearing up and cheering. Since the capture of Luoyang, they have not had a real fight for a long time. This is really uncomfortable for these generals who conquer the world on horseback.
.Now that the military order has been issued, all the generals finally have the opportunity to show off their fists, and they are all excited.
"Only a few people here know about this military order before the troops are sent out next year. If one more person knows about it, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood!" Shi Min looked unhappy and spoke sternly. The generals did not dare to say more, and kept saying
Only here.
After Shi Min left, the generals looked at each other and whispered.
"What's wrong with General? In the past, we had to ask for orders to fight without military orders. Why are we unhappy now when we receive military orders?"
"Now the general goes to the Dongshi Tavern every day, orders wine and food, and looks at the bustling market. Sometimes he sits there for half a day. Isn't it that the general is addicted to the prosperity of Luoyang and loses the will to fight?"
"Hey! Don't tell me, the food and wine in the Dongshi Tavern are really delicious. I heard that the King of Luoyang invited a famous chef from Sichuan, Chongqing and Shu. I haven't been there for the past few days and my mouth feels tasteless. I'm so greedy.
It’s so tight!”
"And that Yang family under King Luoyang, with that figure, that skin texture, that charming style, where can I see such a woman in the North! The general must be here to see Yang family!"
"You are so impatient, don't you dare to talk about the general behind his back!" Zhali Ke slapped the table, and the room suddenly became quiet. Zhali Ke snorted and said, "In my opinion, the general is afraid of the King of Luoyang.
Things have changed, and now Luoyang has finally regained some prosperity. If Xiangyang is attacked at this time, the King of Luoyang will definitely rebel! His rebellion will not succeed, but Luoyang has no one to take care of it, and the people will inevitably live in dire straits. The general is here for the people of Luoyang.
Worry, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, General Charlie is right!"
"General Charlie still understands the general! I am so ashamed!"
The New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye. Qu Gao ordered his caravans to transport dried fruit preserves, poultry meat, fine wine and other goods from various places, which is bound to ensure that every household can live a good year with sufficient food and clothing. Qu Gao also took out some money from the treasury.
In the name of Shi Min, according to the rank, the officers and soldiers were distributed according to the regulations, and they could purchase the necessary materials by themselves. According to the rules of the Hu people's army, the salary was distributed to their families on an annual basis, so they did not have much money on them.
Since Gao took over Luoyang, soldiers under Shi Min often made trouble for grabbing things. Due to Shi Min's face, Qu Gao did not punish him severely. But at the end of the day, the good things Qu Gao brought from all over the country were really attractive, but
The soldiers in the army had no silver. The purpose of distributing silver in the name of Shi Min was to show Shi Min's generosity and righteousness, and to activate the market in Luoyang. If you want to take it first, you must give it first. This is Zhu Yan
way of doing business.
Sure enough, the wine on the market was so popular that some people spontaneously made wine, many of whom were skilled in craftsmanship, and the wine they brewed was fragrant for miles. Some Hu people liked silk fabrics, and in Yang's workshop, women could
Rely on crafts to support yourself; in order to maintain long-term development, Qu Gao limits the output and circulation of each commodity. Of course, greater efforts should be made to encourage mulberry farming and vigorously support farmers and breeding to ensure that these people can perform their duties in building Luoyang
.
On New Year's Eve, Shi Min's good ministers and generals gathered together, served wine and meat on the table, and drank wine. This New Year, a blend of northern and southern customs and cultures, created a unique atmosphere of celebration that was profound and unforgettable for everyone in Luoyang City!
"King of Luoyang, I will give you a toast!" Halfway through the banquet, Zhali Ke raised his glass and walked to Qu Gao's seat and said: "I am a rough man and don't understand the messy etiquette of you southerners. I only know one thing. General, take it."
If you are a brother, you will also be a brother to me, Charles." He finished the drink in one gulp.
Qu Gao replied: "General Zhali Ke is the bravest warrior of the Jie tribe. It is Qu Gao's honor to be a brother with General Zhali Ke!" This Zhali Ke is unparalleled in martial arts and has a straightforward personality. In Shi Min's eyes,
Among the generals under his command, Qu Gao also admired him very much.
The generals under Shi Min initially did not take Qu Gao and other Han Chinese seriously, and had always looked down upon their arrogance. But after getting along with them for several months, they gradually recognized him. Especially when it came to distributing money, even though Qu Gao was
In the name of Shi Min, all the soldiers knew that it was actually Qu Gao who did it. They wanted to get close to each other, but because of their appearance, they never knew how to speak. Now Zhali Ke took the initiative first.
The generals also raised their glasses one by one to drink with Qu Gao.
"I heard that the King of Luoyang once single-handedly killed Zhang You, and also killed two masters of our Zoroastrian Cult. He must also be a master of martial arts. The general is incompetent, and I want to learn a thing or two!" Suddenly a military officer left the table and walked to the middle.
, shouted loudly.
Shi Min looked slightly angry, and was about to scold him when Qu Gao suddenly stood up and said, "That's right! I also want to learn about the strength of the generals in the general's tent!" Shi Min saw that Qu Gao's face was full of alcohol, and he didn't know that he was drunk.
He was awake, but the barbarians were good at martial arts. Since he had accepted this competition, he could not intervene verbally. He could only say: "Today is New Year's Eve. It is not suitable to see blood. Come and test the weapons. It's over at two points!"
The two of them each held wooden swords, and after crossing their hands with each other, they started fighting.
Qu Gao stepped out quickly, forced himself in front of the young general, slashed and stabbed with the long sword in his hand, and fought with the young general. Qu Gao's movement was extremely fast, his sword movement was light and graceful, and he was flying with ease.
The disciples of the Jin Dynasty were very charming, and they were so subtle that it made people's eyes shine. He walked around the young general. Before he finished one move, he had already reached the second move. When the sword move was first made, the man was still on the left.
, when the sword hit the enemy, he had already turned to the right. The sword was a sword and the person was a person. They were irrelevant. And the young general's sword skills were also very solid. No matter where the Qu Gao sword attack came from, he could use it.
The quick knife blocked it, and the two fought fast, back and forth, and the duel between the two was really exciting!
The martial arts fight between the two was more like a martial arts performance than a competition. Their moves were fast and handsome, which was very entertaining to watch. The generals watched and applauded. Shi Min frowned, said nothing, and breathed.
It's a little deeper.
The two fought for dozens of more moves, but they couldn't decide the outcome, so they gave up and went back to their seats to have a drink. Qu Gao didn't know how long the banquet lasted, but he felt as light as floating in the air, as if he had climbed to Penglai in a dream.
