Chapter 118: Reward

"Nonsense, how could the Ma family appear in Yan County and be captured by the Beidi people?"

Liu Fu looked sideways at Ma Han, almost calling him a liar. ReadМ

Ma Han pointed at Chalha in the cage, "You can't ask him. Although it's a bit embarrassing, I ended up like this because I was trying to save the people of Yan County..."

So, he told the story of chasing a Xiliang cavalry in Jinzhou, accidentally entering Shanggu County, discovering Beidi cavalry looting the village, and couldn't help but take action.

Zha Erha ignored Ma Han lazily and just stared at Zhao Xu fiercely.

"Whether it's true or not? In that case, why didn't you leave in Wu'an County and come to Yancheng instead?" Chang Wei asked.

After rescuing many people, he gave dry food to all those who were willing to go back.

Unwilling to leave, he followed him to Yancheng.

Ma Han bowed his hand to Zhao Xu, "To be honest, all my guards were killed by the Beidi people. There were many bandits on the way back, so I'm afraid of danger. Moreover, His Highness's defeat of Beidi was really powerful, so I want to pay my respects to His Highness and say Maybe the Ma family and His Highness can help each other in the future."

He continued: "When I look at Your Highness today, I see that you are truly a jade tree standing in the wind. You are a dignified gentleman, and I am very respectful to you."

Liu Fu glanced at his mouth and muttered: "It's a good thing he's named Ma. He's really good at flattering me."

Of course he knows the Ma family in Qinzhou.

But precisely because he knew it, he didn't like Ma Han's identity.

In his opinion, there is no difference between the Ma family and the wealthy families in Yan County.

"Thank you." Zhao Xu looked at Ma Han.

This man was well-spoken and his clothes were exquisite and luxurious. He might not be lying, but he couldn't be sure either.

"In this case, Mr. Ma can stay in Yancheng for a few days and ask his family to come and take you back."

Ma Han held up his hand and said with great joy, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Xu nodded. He had no contact with the Ma family in Qinzhou. If he were the Ma family, he would be considered a landlord.

If he wasn't, just take it as a personal favor.

Ignoring Ma Han, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei left for the northern camp.

Although the war is temporarily over, there are still many things to deal with in the aftermath.

Arriving at Beidaying, the aroma of wine and meat immediately hit my nostrils.

At this time, the school grounds were filled with tables, which were rented by the palace from all over Yancheng.

Of course, I learned that this was to reward the soldiers of the palace, and the people and restaurants who lent it were given free of charge.

Even the cooks were unwilling to accept the money, saying: "The soldiers of the royal palace protected Yancheng. It's too late for them to be grateful. There is no reason to accept money."

"Oh, this is the beautiful wine produced by the palace. It smells so good." Chang Wei twitched his nose and drooled.

During these days of war, he naturally refused to drink. This was a military order.

Now that I smell this smell, my alcohol addiction is immediately aroused.

The other generals also smelled the smell in the air carefully, with expressions of enjoyment, and the soldiers' eyes were wide-eyed.

"I have put in a lot of effort. This is a real banquet for ten thousand people." Zhao Xu pointed to the tables and chairs that filled the school grounds.

On the school field, which is as big as a sports stadium, there are hundreds of tables in a row, with ten people at each table, a total of thirty rows.

Liu Fu looked pained and said to Chang Wei: "The standard of thirty taels per table, your highness has allocated ninety thousand taels of silver. I advised your highness to save more, but you were scolded by your highness."

Chang Wei looked moved, "Your Highness, this is indeed a waste of money. I can't wait for such a big banquet."

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, "Liu Fu is the king's master, just be stingy. You, a general, can't figure it out. The soldiers fought bloody battles, wrapped in horse leather, what's wrong with eating something good? Don't talk nonsense, let the soldiers be Serve.”

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei's eyes were slightly red. No general in the Forbidden Army had ever paid so much attention to the lower-level soldiers.

But King Yan's concern for every general and every soldier was real.

He said to the general behind him: "Don't be stunned, lead the soldiers under your command to the table, eat and drink."

"Yes, general." The generals shouted and led the soldiers away.

Zhao Xu also picked up a table and sat down, asking Chang Wei, Lu Chang, Chen Hu and other generals above the rank of captain to sit near him.

But even though we want to celebrate, we can't let go of our vigilance.

Therefore, the five thousand soldiers who stayed in the city and did not go to Wu'an County were still guarding the city, and a separate banquet would be held for them in two days.

The soldiers all sat down, and hot meals were served one after another, along with jars of fine wine.

Wine was poured into each soldier's bowl.

Zhao Xu stood up at this time and shouted with all his strength, "The great victory in this autumn hunting is all due to the bravery and heroic sacrifice of all the soldiers. I respect you for these three bowls."

After that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Chang Wei and the generals stood up at the same time, and the soldiers followed suit and picked up the wine.

"Your Highness." Chang Wei shouted.

"Your Highness." The generals and soldiers shouted at the same time, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami roaring.

Then, they also drank the wine in the bowl.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Chang Wei became excited and served the wine himself to Zhao Xuman.

Zhao Xu picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, followed by a third bowl.

The generals and soldiers also drank three bowls in a row.

With these strong drinks in their stomachs and their spirits high, the restraints of the generals and soldiers suddenly disappeared a lot.

Many soldiers at the table laughed loudly, and some cried loudly.

Chang Wei glanced around and laughed loudly. The heroic spirit of the soldier suddenly appeared. He said: "Your Highness, the general has never fought such a refreshing battle. This is a Beidi man who made the court change his mind. He is here Yan County is in trouble."

Lü Chang felt a little resentful, "I shouldn't have gone to Wu'an County at that time, and missed this beautiful battle in Yancheng."

Chen Hu felt even more wronged, "It's okay if you are in Wu'an County, but I am in Yancheng, and I don't have the opportunity to kill a few Beidi people."

Because Chen Hu's cavalry are all treasures, Chen Hu's cavalry did not go out in the battle of Yancheng that night.

It was only later when they were chasing and suppressing the deserters that they went out to fight.

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Zhao Xu smiled, "You two are not bad, you worked together to capture Kutu and the other three, which is also a great achievement."

Chen Hu and Lu Chang shook their heads, "Your Highness is not like this..."

They told him about Sun Qiang's clever capture of Kutu.

"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Xu nodded, and had to say that these six cavalrymen were all courageous men, "Let the six of them come over."

Chang Wei immediately asked someone to bring Sun Qiang and the other six over.

"See your Highness." Six soldiers arrived and saluted Zhao Xu.

Chang Wei introduced, "This is Sun Qiang, this is Li Du, this is Yu Fang, this is Zheng Mian, this is Leng Qiu, and this is Dian Shang."

"All of you stand up." Zhao Xu said to the six people.

Today's banquet is to reward and reward according to merit.

Those who make mistakes should be punished, and those who make merit should be rewarded. Only in this way can the morale of the army be corrected.

"You six have made great contributions by capturing Kutu. Today, I will promote you to general flags, and reward each of you with 1,000 taels of silver and 10 acres of good land."

In the army, there are 10 people in a team, with a captain, 50 people in a small flag, with a small flag leader, and 100 people in a general flag.

Now, they are equivalent to promoting them three levels in a row.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The six people trembled with joy when they heard this.

The other soldiers were envious and their blood flowed faster.
