Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 223
Although Gao's mother is old and has gray hair, she is full of energy and has a rosy face.

It's just that the eyes seem a little not sharp enough, and he squinted slightly to look at the birthday party below, feeling very relieved.

Since the death of Gao Xingzhou, the Gao family has rarely been so lively.

When the Gao family becomes lively again, that is when the Gao family rises again.

Gao's mother thought about what she had said before, and her old face showed a trace of excitement.

"Okay, very good, at my age, I can still see so many outstanding juniors!"

Gao's mother swept Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, then returned to Luo Youdu, and said: "Let's start the banquet, I have stopped drinking, today I will accompany you to taste a little sweet-scented osmanthus wine, thank you for coming today, and specially congratulate the old man on his birthday. "

Gao's mother was quite proud, she took a sip of every person who celebrated her birthday and drank a lot of wine.

It can be seen that if he was ten years younger, today would be another scene.

Luo Youdu secretly praised.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but Luo Youdu had the feeling of sizing up Gao's mother from time to time.

Luo Youdu didn't know why, so he simply ignored her and ate, drank and chatted with everyone.

It turned out that the group of them often got together, but after the Battle of Huainan, everyone got promoted and had more things at hand.

There are really not many opportunities to get together like today.

Especially the opportunities to get along with Han Lingkun are even rarer.

There is no other reason, I want to climb up.

Like Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin also had a premonition that Ma Bujun, the bodyguard and personal army, commanded him to hold this position soon.

But unlike Dianqiansi, Zhang Yongde's successor is Zhao Kuangyin, which is beyond doubt.On the one hand, Zhao Kuangyin was selected by Guo Rong himself. On the other hand, Zhao Kuangyin's prestige in the front office is no less than that of Zhang Yongde. Except for him, no one can succeed.

There are two people who have the prestige and strength to replace Li Chongjin in the Guards and Military Division.

One is Han Lingkun and the other is Han Tong.

Han Lingkun is now the commander of the guards' army and the horse army, and Han Tong is the guards' army's infantry commander.

One of the two is Ma Shuai and the other is Bu Shuai, who are in charge of the horse army and the infantry.

The status is equal and the prestige is similar.

It's hard to say who goes up and who goes down.

The two of them are trying their best to introvert now, and they will fight for whoever performs better.

So after the banquet was over, Luo Youdu seized this opportunity to invite Han Lingkun to his own home next door to have a good chat and reminisce about the past.

Luo Youdu sat on the mat and fiddled with the tea set, and said: "I drank a lot of wine just now, drink some tea to relieve the hangover."

Han Lingkun sat opposite him, watched Luo Youdu skillfully fiddle with the tea set, and said, "It's better for you to be free, and when you're done with your work for a while, brother, I'll be the host, let's have a good get-together."

Luo Youdu said: "It's not that brothers don't support you. To be honest, this time, it's unlikely that you will go up."

He said that he is not big, but in fact he is not small.But the chance is zero, there is no chance at all.

It's not that Han Lingkun is inferior to Han Tong. In Luo Youdu's opinion, Han Lingkun's military ability is worse than Han Tong's. Han Tong has very little actual combat experience, and many of his achievements come from martial arts.

For example, during the reign of Taizu Guangshun, the Yellow River flooded and filled Heyin City. Han Tong led more than a thousand soldiers to dredge the mouth of Bianhe River and presided over the construction of Heyin City.

During the reign of Xiande, Han Tong led his soldiers Ding Fu to dredge the Hulu River and built castles, and then presided over the construction of the city walls in Cambodia, Gucheng, Qizhou, Boye, Anping, Wuqiang and other places.

It can be said that the defense of Khitan in the north of Dazhou was built by Han Tong.

The credit is great, after all, it is not actual combat.

But the Guards Pro Army Division is the most powerful and strongest of the three divisions.

The first element considered in the appointment of a chief is not whether he can fight or not, but whether he is suitable or not.

The relationship between Han Lingkun and him Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin is very good.

If you really want to hand over the guards to Han Lingkun, will the emperor Guo Rong still sleep?

Han Tong is different, he has been building defense lines on the front line, until recently he was transferred back to Bianjing, and has nothing to do with Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin.

According to Luo Youdu's conjecture, Guo Rong's plan for the military was headed by him, and then supported and restrained by Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin.

In other words, like Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong was appointed by Guo Rong.

It's just that Han Tongyuan didn't have Zhao Kuangyin's prestige, so he didn't show it.

This gave Han Lingkun a sense of hope to go up.

It would not be a bad thing to let Han Lingkun fight, but Luo Youdu was afraid that Han Lingkun would get ahead, so he got angry with Han Tong.

It doesn't matter if you simply offend Han Tong, at most you will wear small shoes, but it will be difficult to make Guo Rong feel that Han Lingkun has affected his big plan.

Guo Rong has a quick temper, and once he is provoked, there is almost no room for maneuver.

Han Lingkun knew that Luo Youdu would not disclose this news casually, and sighed sadly in his heart, but he didn't ask why, and said, "I understand, enough is enough, and don't force anything else. If you can't be promoted to the commander of the horse army, you can continue to be the commander-in-chief of the horse." it is good."

Luo Youdu said with a bit of taste: "Every check in front of the palace is called Dianshuai. One of you is called Mashuai and the other is Bushuai. Why am I called Commander? Can't I be called Commander? Category?"

Han Lingkun laughed, and said solemnly: "Brother Xie for reminding me, I owe you another favor."

Luo Youdu waved his hand and said, "You and I are brothers, what are you talking about?"

Han Lingkun said solemnly: "This is not good. Mr. Han is as committed as he is, and he has never slipped his words. Don't worry, I will definitely find you a good one."

Luo Youdu was stunned and said, "What are you looking for?"

He doesn't seem to remember it.

Han Lingkun slapped his head and said: "I forgot to tell you about this, but I just mentioned it to Lao Shi. Brother, you have helped Lao Shi a lot. I said I will give you a chick, and use the chick to attack the chick."

Luo Youdu's head was buzzing.

Han Lingkun continued: "Although my brother is no longer a chick, I have always taken this matter to heart. I have noticed it before, but there is no good one. Don't worry, I will definitely choose a good one for you!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Luo Youdu waved his hand angrily.

The two chatted with each other for a few more words before they dispersed.

Before leaving, Han Lingkun actually emphasized that he promised a thousand dollars, which made Luo Youdu dumbfounded.

On the second day, Gao Huaide came to the door again, with an extra sword in his hand.

"Mother was very happy yesterday, especially the painting of Mr. Shou Xing that my brother gave her. Her old man directly framed it. She also said that there is nothing to return. There is an ancestral Raven Nine Sword at home, so I gave it to you. "

An inexplicable meaning flashed in Luo Youdu's eyes, he stretched out his hand to take the sword handed over by Gao Huaide, and drew the sword out of its sheath. The shiny sword body was like a mirror, which could reflect people's shadows. A magic weapon.

"Good sword!"

Luo Youdu put the sword back into its sheath, and said: "Go back and tell my mother that I will treat this sword kindly."
