I was engaged in construction in ancient times

Duan Shubai exchanged a few words with Yue Tianlang and the others, Zhang Changle and Yue Tianlang got together and talked about some interesting stories about fighting in the north, Duan Shubai heard what they said with great interest, "It just so happens that many old brothers in the north You are all here, how about this general as the host tonight, hold a banquet, and call all the former brothers over."

Zhang Changle booed and applauded when he heard the words: "My old Zhang is the first to support, I must drink him until he is not drunk and never returns."

"It's better for us to pass out drunk in the general's yard hahaha."

"You have to be thankful that we are not on the high mountains of the Northland now, or if you slept in the yard, you would not be a popsicle."

Duan Shubai asked his servants to take them to the courtyard. After hearing what they said, Xiao Yuhe had already recruited people to prepare for the banquet at night. His mother is not here, and he has to handle everything in person.

"The one circled with a red pen is tonight's menu, and I asked the kitchen staff to prepare it right away."

"By the way, there's wine..."

Duan Shubai saw that Xiao Yuhe handled affairs more and more relaxedly, looked at Xiao Yuhe's eyes more gentle and satisfied, couldn't help but smile, and wanted to hug him in his arms and love him.

"Go to the storeroom and get a dozen jars of wine, wait a minute, prepare dozens of jars."

Duan Shubai's eyes lit up, he walked towards Xiao Yuhe with a smile on his face, he was both surprised and happy and said: "These wines are brewed by you yourself, why are you willing to take so much?"

His subtext is: You allow me to drink so much.

"They are all your brothers who died in the past. As your wife, how can I be so stingy." Xiao Yuhe said with his hands on his hips, "How about it? ?”

A pair of beautiful eyes looked forward to fly, and the proud expression seemed to have a ostentatious little tail swaying in the clear eyes, making Duan Shubai's heart itch.

"Yes, yes, yes." Duan Shubai laughed, and went forward to touch the little fox's arrogant face, but Xiao Yuhe slapped it away mercilessly, Xiao Yuhe made a look: there is a servant here, Don't move your hands and feet casually.

All right, Duan Shubai had no choice but to stop, and he also gave Xiao Yuhe a look: amazing, my general's wife.

Xiao Yuhe smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and pushed Duan Shubai away, "Go, go talk and drink with your old friend, don't delay the general's wife's business here, delay my son's important affairs, and deal with it according to family law."

"You, you are quite good at learning and selling now. That's all right, the general is gone, so I won't interfere with Madam's 'business'."

Zhang Changle took Yue Tianlang and his party to the courtyard. Li Bing and Huo Qing and Huo Han brothers were talking in a low voice behind. Look good, stand outside to ensure that you will attract a bunch of girls, tsk tsk, a suit of armor is so handsome, we can wear this heroic suit anytime, this life is enough."

"Brother Li, didn't you see the scene of Xinyang City? General Duan is by no means an ignorant bastard who can organize the city like this."

"General Duan's handsome and majestic appearance is exactly as I imagined."

……

Huo Han asked curiously: "Just now that young man in yellow is General Duan's wife."

"The general's wife is a twin, and it seems that there are no other wives and concubines in this mansion."

"Although she is a twin, she is really good-looking. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen is not as good-looking as him."

"General Duan's current status, what kind of woman Shuanger can't find it."

Zhang Changle heard their discussion, turned around and said: "Our general's wife is someone who is on the top of the general's heart, so don't speak rashly."

Li Bing and the others fell silent.

The banquet was held in the evening, and several tables filled with delicious food and wine were filled with tall and burly men from the north. Yue Tianlang looked up and took a quick look, only to find that there were many acquaintances, such as Xu Gang from Shouxi, Liu Bei from Wu'an, They are all famous people in the north, and they all came to vote for Yangzhou.

"Brother Liu, you have also come to Yangzhou."

"Brother Yue, you are here too!"

Several groups of people recognized their relatives, and they were happy for a while, and everyone chatted, "When I came to Yangzhou, I realized that Beidi is really not treated by people. My house has long been occupied by Wangxia soldiers. This group of Wangxia People like to burn, kill and loot at the border a few years ago, but now they have entered the customs, and they are even more lawless."

"I saw Xia people bullying women from a good family. I couldn't see it for a while. I killed a few Wangxia soldiers and fled to Yangzhou. I heard that General Duan of Yangzhou was benevolent. When I came here to see the scene of Yangzhou, I really came here. out of place."

"Yes, along the way, many people from the north also fled south. General Duan thought about the people and accepted them all. He also arranged housing for them and gave them work. As long as you work, you will not be hungry. What a wonderful day! .”

"It's strange to say that it's hard for everyone to run all the way, but there are many literati and scholars running north. Do you think it's strange?"

"It's not surprising at all. General Duan has a bad reputation in the literati circle. Nie Kun found a group of old Confucian scholars who lost their book bags to write a book to slander the general's reputation. The words he said will not be discussed here. He Nie Kun is also embarrassed. Said, obviously he himself is a rebellious minister and traitor, and he still defends the royal family, what kind of regent he is, hehe, what a face."

"It's just a thief calling for a thief."

"General Duan didn't think of a way to control public opinion, how can he let him talk nonsense."

Duan Shubai had a good drink with many people at the banquet, he likes to drink with people the most, drinking with these northern big men is extremely enjoyable, refreshing and refreshing.

"General, drink another bowl!"

Yue Tianlang and Duan Shubai drank a bowl, Duan Shubai heard Yue Tianlang said in his toast that he had saved his life, and said in surprise: "I have saved your life, why don't I Know."

Yue Tianlang smiled wryly and said: "General, you may not remember that Yue was one of the two people rescued by the Qi Tianwang Ji of the Golden Lotus Party back then."

Zhang Changle laughed loudly: "You say that the general will not remember it like this, but if you say that he shot through the heart to kill the dog thief and won a reward of [-] gold, our general will definitely remember it."

"Haha, Changle, you know me better." Duan Shubai flipped through his memory, and when he remembered this, he, Duan Shubai, really saved Yue Tianlang's life.

You saved me on the battlefield, and I couldn’t tell if I saved you. Duan Shubai looked at Yue Tianlang’s expression and found that he took this life-saving grace very seriously. Although he didn’t say it, if he asked him at this time As a fate, Yue Tianlang would never say "no".

This little black face is quite grateful.

Duan Shubai drank a few more bowls of wine with them at the same table, and became closer. Li Bing was a man who didn't know what to say, so he asked directly after drinking too much: "General, our brother Yue is a bad guy." With so many talents, what position do you plan to put him in?"

Yue Tianlang rolled his eyes at him, "Soldiers are reckless, general don't listen to his nonsense, Yue is very lucky, being able to serve as an official under General Duan is already a blessing in his previous life."

"The general has his own considerations."

The alcohol in his mouth faded, his phoenix eyes swept over the big fat man Li Bing whose intestines reached to the bottom, Duan Shubai smiled softly, "This general knows your courage and talent, Yue Tianlang, and you will never bury it!" Talent, I originally had one thing in mind, but I have been unable to find the right person, and as soon as you came, Tianlang, I knew that this matter must belong to you."

Li Bing couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter?"

"This general intends to build a cavalry team on the Lujiang Plain in Xuanzhou... Yue Tianlang, you have been stationed in the north for three years, and you have a deep understanding of the marching styles of the major forces in the north. You have rich experience, so you can help me defend In the important areas along the border between Xuanzhou and the north, the enemy will never be allowed to go south."

Duan Shubai wanted Yue Tianlang to guard the Xuanzhou border, firstly because Yue Tianlang was very familiar with the north, and secondly because Li Tianya, the general soldier of Xuanzhou, was very proud and couldn't get along with others. He looked at Yue Tianlang like this With his temperament, he can be thrown to Xuanzhou to sharpen Li Tianya's spirit.

In addition, it is estimated that in the near future, Nie Kun of Rongzhou will be so angry that he will be covered in black clouds, and he will say otherwise, but Duan Shubai is looking forward to the duel between the two little black faces.

Yue Tianlang clasped his fists and said seriously: "The general entrusts Tianlang with this important task, Tianlang will definitely live up to the general's entrustment."

Li Bing put his heart back into his stomach. He was really afraid that Yue Tianlang would sit on the bench with Duan Shubai. Although Yue Tianlang and Duan Shubai and Zhang Changle had old feelings, how could the previous things be explained clearly? , he accompanied Yue Tianlang and received a lot of cold reception. He was almost given to be a master's secretary before, and asking them, a group of generals, to do such things. Isn't it letting the eight-foot man pinch embroidery needles?Mess.

After taking this reassurance pill, Li Bing took advantage of the bargain and said obediently: "We finally arrived in Yangzhou, and now we have to go back. It is said that there are countless delicacies in Yangzhou. I don't know if I have the good fortune to eat it all."

Yue Tianlang said with a smile: "If Brother Li wants to stay in Yangzhou, Yue will not force others..."

"Where does this go, Lao Li, I naturally want to stay with Brother Yue."

Huo Qing laughed: "Brother Li, don't worry, I heard from the proprietress that there will be a banquet for hundreds of families on New Year's Day in Xinyang City. Let you eat him until your belly bursts."

"There are still such good things, alas, I really don't want to leave this time." Li Bing beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting so much, he turned his face to look at Yue Tianlang, "Old Yue, let me stay in Xinyang City as a The guards forget it."

The crowd laughed.

Duan Shubai happily drank with these brothers from the north all night. He drank vigorously, talked vigorously, and kept quiet. He learned a lot about the situation in the north and learned from them. I know, it is much more vivid than the information in the spy intelligence.

It also allowed him to understand the personality of each person in this group, which ones are available and which ones are not. After drinking this meal, he knew it in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you tell the truth after drinking, if you have any careful thoughts, you will know everything after a careful look.

Those who are vicious and hard to change, who want to join his team to fish in troubled waters under the guise of domineering, he will definitely not do what they want.

He doesn't want those who are rotten in their bones. Similarly, he doesn't need too many obedient generals in his army. They are too obedient and have no vigor. The teacher is as brave as a tiger and as fierce as a wolf. When he sees the enemy, he spreads his sharp claws and teeth, and rushes at the enemy screaming, gnawing the enemy until there is no bone left.
