Chapter 488 Celebration Banquet

Gongsun Zan arrived with his troops and horses, and realized that the Hu troops were defeated in large numbers and that the Yanmen defenders had no power to pursue them, so he led the white horse Yi Cong to pursue them for more than 20 miles, killing many people and dyeing the grassland red.

It was not until Yinguan City was in sight that Gongsun Zan ordered his troops to return to Yanmen Pass for repairs. After all, the fatigue of the men and horses from the long journey was not conducive to attacking the city.

Wei Qing and Guan Yu had already greeted him in front of the pass. Wei Qing immediately smiled and said: "Brother Gongsun, hurry up and take your athletes with me to the camp to repair. There is nothing else in Beiguan. I have enough cattle, sheep and fine wine!"

Gongsun Zan had no reason to refuse. After complimenting Governor Dong with a smile, the group entered Yanmen Pass and came to the military camp behind the pass.

Following Wei Qing's order, pots were set up in the camp, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and jars of fine wine were moved to each table, making the soldiers who had just come off the battlefield swallow their saliva.

Wei Qing smiled and invited Guan Gong to sit on the left and right seats, as well as Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Xue Li and other guests. Then he raised his wine cup and stood up and said: "If it hadn't been for the heroic help of all the heroes today, Yanmen Pass would have fallen into the hands of the barbarians." , thousands of people in Bingzhou and even Hebei will suffer irreversible disasters.

It is indeed a blessing for the people of Bingzhou, and even more so for the great man, to have your help! I, Wei Qing, have nothing to repay, so I can only offer you a cup of turbid wine!"

After that, Wei Qing drank all the wine in the cup. Everyone raised their glasses to show that Wei Shuai was polite, but the pride in his heart became even higher.

After all, the conquest of the Central Plains was only done as a last resort to stabilize the current situation. To say that breaking the sky was just a fratricide among the Han people, it is always a bit awkward to praise it.

Wei Qing's subordinates Xu Huang, Yu Jin and others were also enthusiastic, and it didn't take long for the three generals to become one.

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao hit it off immediately, and soon they became brothers and talked about their ideals and ambitions. Then the two of them took Zhao Yun to the table together, and the three of them talked about the feat of defeating Wanyan Aguda during the day, and laughed heartily from time to time.

Is it not the life-long wish of generals like Guan Yu to pursue death like Meng Tian and become the pillars of China? Today's battle to save Bingzhou from the iron hoof of the Hu people can bring great physical and mental satisfaction to all the generals.

Yue Fei smiled and agreed, and when he saw Wei Qing, he made a toast, thanking Wei Qing for trusting him without reservation, and giving him the credit for defeating the Hu army.

When many generals with extraordinary martial arts are here, they will naturally teach each other the essence of martial arts. Guan Yu has no reservations and gestures with a meat cleaver, which attracts everyone's admiration; Yue Fei's martial arts combined with the art of war often leads to the best fighter opportunity; Zhang Fei Performed the mystery of the unity of spirit, spirit and spirit...

Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing and other generals took turns toasting to Yue Fei. I have great admiration for Yue Fei's heroic feat of commanding the border guards to defeat the Hu army and destroy Tiefu Tu today.

After all, they were all a group of free and easy-going men. The reception quickly reached its climax, and everyone left their seats to toast each other in celebration.

Lu Wenlong seemed to be quite interested in Zhao Yun's marksmanship. After a blind comparison, they all admired the exquisiteness of Zhao Yun's marksmanship. Zhao Yun also expressed his emotion that Lu Wenlong's double spear skills were inherited from his master and should not be underestimated when charging on the battlefield.

But rushing to Beiguan, expelling the Tartars, and killing the Hu chieftains to protect thousands of people in the Central Plains is absolutely correct no matter what era, and it is a beautiful story that can be praised by every Han Chinese.

At the same time, friction was inevitable, but the high-ranking officials still had to give face, and the generals did not dare to engage in a physical fight at the table, so they had to try a literary fight.

The generals first competed in a drinking competition, and Zhang Fei came out on top. Then they competed in archery, but Xue Li was much better than Zhang Fei.

In the end, the victory was determined among the generals, but it was a matter of strength. Zhang Fei and Xue Li won their first victory, so they took the lead in starting the battle.

Although Zhang Fei's realm is slightly inferior to Xue Li's, in terms of strength, he is on par with him. The two stood on the wooden pier with their arms staggered, using all their strength not to give in to the other. The energy and blood in their bodies surged and their skin turned red, causing the surrounding soldiers to cheer. The wooden pillars accompanying the two men's arms were crushed into pieces. When the two tied, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax. Guan Yu took off his shirt and stood as the leader in front of the bonfire, stepping on Yu Tu and dancing with his elbows.

When the generals and even the soldiers saw this, they took off their shirts and stood beside Guan Yu, following his steps and dancing wildly.

This is an extremely ancient military celebration dance. According to legend, it was created by the ancient Xingtian. The dance is simple and graceful. Liu Bei seemed to see through the powerful dance of everyone, many legends who fought in the ancient wilderness at the beginning of that civilization. .

This kind of appeal from the roots of civilization is endless. Guo, Gongsun Zan and even Wei Qing also stood up and raised torches to join in. All the soldiers, regardless of their superiority, were linked arms and walked together in the swaying light of the fire.

No matter what the fate of these fierce generals will be in the future imperial struggle for hegemony, from now on, they will be warriors fighting for Chinese civilization.

……

A few days later, when Ran Min and Jiang Song arrived with 50,000 fire troops, Wei Qing summoned everyone to prepare for a decisive battle. The only enemy left was a group of barbarians in Pingcheng. He made preparations to kill them all, and Li Keyong was killed. , Tuoba Tao was wiped out.

Everyone heard it and had no objections. So the soldiers of Yanmen Pass prepared their troops and horses, and marched towards Pingcheng in a mighty manner.

There is a horse farm in Bingzhou with enough horses, and all the soldiers are elite Han elites who are proficient in riding and shooting. The terrain outside the pass was flat, and everyone was on horseback. In just one day, the walls of Pingcheng appeared in everyone's sight.

Pingcheng, later known as Datong, was an important line of defense in the hinterland of China against the northern nomads. However, in the Han Dynasty, the hinterland of China in the traditional sense still refers to the south of Yanmen Pass, and little attention was paid to the northern Guan territory. As a result, Pingcheng today is just a small city, with low city walls that are not even covered with bricks.

Everyone lined up in front of the city gate and found that Li Keyong really didn't dare to take the old and weak out of the city to form an array. Shi Shi couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

Seeing that the door was closed, Zhang Fei, who was the most impatient, immediately said that he would step forward to scold the formation. Wei Qing thought that he had to find out the opponent's background no matter what, so he decided

Then Zhang Fei came under the city gate, and a lot of swear words came out, including a lot of Xiongnu vocabulary. They were Xiongnu swear words that he specially learned from Bingzhou sergeant for today.

With Zhang Fei's skill at swearing, even if he couldn't understand the language, his speech speed and movements were enough to annoy the Hun soldiers on the city wall.

These words soon spread to the meeting hall in the city, where the remaining chiefs of this army, as well as Li Keyong and his adopted sons, were sitting.

When the news came that the Han army had defeated Jin Wushu and Guan Yu had killed Aguda, these chiefs were at a loss like frightened birds. Many people even suggested that they should not go back to the grassland. At worst, they would kneel down and apologize to Mo Dun, which would at least have a glimmer of hope.

Li Keyong, who was sitting at the head of the table, was a calm and thoughtful middle-aged man. He neither agreed nor refuted the timid words of the crowd. He just stroked his beard and closed his eyes slightly as if he was thinking about something.

'These guys only have this little courage and ability, otherwise they wouldn't be able to prevent me, the adopted sons Xue Zang, from being reused until now. Oh, what if the Han army presses the border? The Han army marches with great generals. I have these strong men to help me, so how can any Han generals stop me?

Since Maodun was held back by something and had no intention of chasing him into the tiger's mouth, there is no need to worry about using my thirteenth adopted son. First kill these Han generals and recapture the men and horses that Wanyan Aguda took away.

Then I plunder the Han people and build a pass at the Tiger Killing Pass, and the entire Yanmen County will become my pasture. By then, if we repair it again, why worry about the Yanmen Pass not being broken? By then, who in the colorful world in the south can stop our father and son?'

Thinking of this, Li Keyong looked confidently at the adopted sons beside him, especially the one who was the youngest and most strangely dressed.

Zhang Fei was yelling in front of the formation, and his roar was so loud that everyone in the meeting hall could hear it. All the chiefs were frightened to death. On the other hand, Li Keyong's adopted sons were all very angry and stepped forward to ask for a fight.
