I don’t know whether Shen Liniang made a mistake or did it intentionally. When the generals Tongwu, Zhenwu, and Xiongwu appeared in front of him, Li Kuo could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Who says Liniang can't understand or see through? She understands everything and understands everything.
"Sir, Liniang went out first." Shen Liniang bowed to Li Kuo and left.
What was originally a few dishes shared by the three of them turned into a full banquet, and the happiest person was probably Pu Dachui.
"I said the general will not forget us. Did you see this? This is a dish ordered from Yixianju. We won't be able to enter that place for several years. Today, I, Lao Pu, want to take advantage of General Li. !”
After saying this, Pu Dachui raised his chopsticks unceremoniously, picked up a piece of mutton with sauce and put it into his mouth.
"Tsk, tsk, look at the ingredients they added, this taste is not something that big guys like us can make. I wonder why those pretty boys like to go out to restaurants. It turns out that the same dish can be cooked by different people. There is a gap. Next time Lao Zheng wants to brag about his cooking skills, I will ask him to come to Yixianju and grab two bites of the mutton with sauce, so that he will blush to the root of his neck with embarrassment!"
Although he said this cheerfully, he didn't know that it offended all those dandy boys. No, there was a young master from a noble family beside him.
Zhang Yanji shrugged, not worried at all: "Good food needs to be tasted together, and good wine needs to be enjoyed by brothers. It is really rare for more than a dozen of us brothers to get together today. We will not go home until we are drunk."
"Well said!" Pu Dachui patted his thigh and said, "Since we came back from Longyou, everyone hasn't had a good meal. Today, since the general is happy and has called everyone here, no one should be polite to the general. Eat Damn it!"
Pu Dachui excitedly waved his fists, as if this banquet was arranged by him and would not cost his general a piece of meat.
"Old Pu, you have to take it easy, otherwise our general will be depleted, and no one will give you red envelopes on New Year's Eve." Dou Qing picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and put it into his mouth. Although he didn't know that the general was calling them. Why is it, but now that it is here, it must be lively and lively, all of them are big men, if they keep everything under wraps and read the rules, don't they suffocate people to death?
"You can eat and drink, but I have enough for today!" Li Kuo filled the wine glass in front of him, raised it high and said: "Everyone has worked hard following me these days, although the imperial court has given us a reward for the third battalion. It’s unfair, but you haven’t chewed your tongue even once, and you haven’t said a single word of complaint!”
Looking at these brothers who had been with him through life and death, Li Kuo was very excited. Having been accustomed to the intrigues of the Tang Dynasty these days, he cherished this brotherly love even more. Only in front of these brothers, he could not worry about falling in love. Traps, no need to be afraid of being plotted. They have gone through life and death together for more than a year, and their relationship is even better than that of biological brothers.
To be disrespectful, even if I rise up now, most of these brothers will still stand by me...
"Today, I, Li Kuo, offer this glass of wine to you all. I'll drink it first as a token of my respect!" After saying this, the young man raised his head and drank the strong wine, then circled the rim of the cup and placed it on the table.
"Okay, since the general is so generous, we can't pretend to be women. Anyone who doesn't drink to his heart's content today is not giving the general face!"
Wang Xiaochun is what he is today, thanks to Li Kuo's support. If he had not met Li Kuo, maybe he would still be herding cattle and sheep for the Tubo people on the grassland of the river mouth. Therefore, he was very grateful to the young man. Who would not give Li Kuo face?
Just don't give him Wang Xiaochun face.
"Come on, have a good drink today!"
"Drink this drink!"
"Dry!"
All the brothers raised their glasses and drank, mingling with each other, and the whole table was full of harmony and grandeur.
"Brothers, brothers, please listen to me." Li Kuo pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"This past year, everyone has been bloody and fighting, and everyone has a few stab wounds on their bodies. We brothers in Tongwuying are not afraid of bloodshed, and we men of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of dying. We are only afraid of being stabbed in the back by our own people!"
Li Kuo's eyes turned red and he said loudly: "I believe that everyone will never forget the look of reluctance in Pao Ze's eyes when he died tragically. I believe that everyone will never forget the frightening cold light on the back of the horizontal sword! I, Li Kuo, have not forgotten it. What about you, you guys?
Have you forgotten?"
"Whoever has forgotten is not a human being. Kill the high thief, kill him!"
"Kill the high thief to avenge your brothers!"
"So, today I want to make something clear to everyone! The person who betrayed us was not only Gao Xiuyan, but also the current Prime Minister Li Linfu's instructions. Do you want to take revenge, do you want to seek justice for the brothers?"
The young man looked around at everyone for a week and explained the whole story frankly and honestly.
It turned out that not many generals knew that Li Linfu was the mastermind behind the scenes. Except for Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuwei, Dou Qing and other core confidants, the young man did not tell the generals the details of the incident. In their eyes, what betrayed them was just
It's Gao Xiuyan. This is why Li Kuo plans to start with Gao Xiuyan first. He doesn't know if these generals are still bloody and have the courage to take revenge after knowing that the person behind the scenes is Li Linfu!
But today, he must explain these things clearly to them, and it is up to them to decide whether to do it or not!
For a moment, the room fell into silence. All this was as expected by Li Kuo. The young man picked up a glass of wine and said: "If you are willing to avenge your brothers, drink this glass of wine. No matter what the result is, we will fight the old thief to the end. No."
If you are willing, brother, I won’t force you. If you encounter difficulties in the future, don’t forget that you still have a home here!”
Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuzui, Dou Qing and other generals who knew the truth took the lead in filling their glasses with wine and placing the glasses heavily on the table. The fact that the whole army kept this fact secret was the result of consensus among the brothers.
Brother Kuo'er cannot be allowed to resist this responsibility alone now! Although everyone has been silent about this matter, they know that sooner or later they must face it.
Since Kuo'er brother brought this matter to the surface today, let's simply put an end to this matter!
The generals sitting here were all promoted by Li Kuo. In some ways, they can even be called the direct descendants of the young man. Li Kuo first led the Tongwu Camp, then added the Xiongwu and Zhenwu 2nd Battalions, and was led by Captain Yi Guoyi.
More than 1,500 people. Since the number of people far exceeds the establishment, the number of people under each brigade commander and captain's command exceeds the actual quota. This greatly increases their prestige and makes some people at the bottom have to work hard to get up.
Got addicted to being an officer.
After returning from the victory this time, although a lot of the credit of the soldiers of the third battalion was wiped out due to Gao Xiuyan's factors, the number of heads they had chopped off was there, and no one could ignore it!
Those who were granted the title of school lieutenant, those who were promoted to be brigade commanders were promoted to brigade commanders, and those who had an upright team were awarded an upright team. Even some of the top soldiers became fire chiefs due to their merit. Along the way, everyone's gains were not insignificant.
, everyone’s income is not generous. All this is because of Li Kuo, they all see it.
But this does not mean that they will vote for the boy unconditionally, and their feelings will lose points in the face of reality.
The newly promoted captain Sun Cheng's hand trembled when he reached for the wine glass. When he came to it, he regretted his thoughts and suddenly pulled back.
He is a son of Chang'an who joined the army with Li Kuo. As a member of the Shence Army, from the bloody battles of the Suzaku Regiment to the lonely siege of the Tongwu Camp, he was one of the few old men who survived. Therefore, the young man was very interested in him.
He also had a lot of support and a feeling of old friends. But although his family was not a prominent family in Chang'an, it could still be called a wealthy family. When he joined the army, he originally thought that he could join the Forbidden Army to get some luck, but who knew
Became a member of the border army.
After becoming a frontier soldier, he licked blood from the knife edge for a whole year. There were endless Tubo people to kill everywhere. From the Changcheng Castle to Fuqi City, from the west bank of Qinghai to Jiuqu City, everyone
I didn't have a moment to relax. I finally defeated Tubo, but was plotted against by that bastard Gao Xiuyan. Thanks to Captain Li, Jiren Tianxiang, everyone was able to save their lives.
If the thief was Gao Xiuyan, Captain Li did not need to speak. Sun Cheng was the first to strike with a horizontal sword. But their enemy was Li Linfu, the powerful Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty who could turn his hands into clouds and rain.
The high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty are all masters of rebellion, stabbing their own people?
He had just found some fame and did not want to put all his money into the bet. Moreover, in his opinion, there was no possibility of winning this huge bet.
"You damn Sun Tuozi, I usually see you with five or six people, but why do you become a coward when you are trying your best? Do you drink this wine? If you don't, I will smash you into pieces with a hammer.
Meat!"
When Pu Dachui saw that Sun Cheng wanted to quit, he immediately lost his face. If the person who wanted to quit was a recruit who had just joined Longyou, or a Tang people who had been accepted at the mouth of the river, he would be able to understand it, but it happened that this person had joined them from the gods.
Sun Cheng was beaten out by the Suzaku Regiment of Cejun.
Although strictly speaking, the Sun family is not considered a wealthy family in Chang'an, but in the eyes of a poor man like Pu Dachui, it is already considered a first-class family. In Pu Dachui's view, these young masters from aristocratic families are all a group of people without backbones.
They are weaklings. They enjoy all the benefits on weekdays, but when faced with difficulties, they change faster than anyone else.
"Tell me, how can our general be sorry for you? You yourself couldn't even hold a white wax pole level, and according to military regulations you should have been beaten with twenty military sticks. Who acted as your guarantee in front of the supervisor and instructor?
You were shot through the shoulder by the Tibetan people in the Long Castle. Who helped you pull out the arrow? You went from being a big-headed soldier to a captain. Who was it that promoted you? What a useless silver gun.
My head, when something happens, I will only think about my little piece of land!"
