Chapter 18 Carnival Night

At night.

In the Jin army camp in the city, the lights were brightly lit, and pigs and animals were slaughtered, singing and drinking, and it was very lively.

Zhu Xu picked up the wine bowl, looked at the many generals and soldiers in the audience, and whispered loudly: "Today! I, Zhu Xu, have the honor to have you, so that I can resist ten times of the Qin army outside the city and severely defeat the elite Qin army. Today! You are recorded in history and are always respected by the elite soldiers and generals of later generations. Today! Drink happily and never return without getting drunk!"

"Thank you, General Jung-Law!"

"Don't go back if you're drunk!"

Cheers echoed one after another in the sky.

Yesterday, the former Duba team was eating and drinking in the army, which was not enough.

The rest of the tribes saw it and were greedy in their hearts.

After the Qin army besieged the city, the army supplied less and less food every day, not to mention wine and meat, there was not even enough corn to feed.

But there is nothing we can do, who has not made the key military achievements?

But today is different. Everyone here has exhausted their full strength.

Even though it was a pleasure to withstand so many Qin troops' attacks, this meal of wine and meat was what they expected more!

Zhu Xu led his troops for a long time, so he naturally knew what they thought, so he relaxed the food and grass restrictions today. After all, if there is no such reward today, there is no need to expect to defend the city in the future.

After drinking the rice wine in the bowl in one mouthful, Zhu Xu returned to the stage and knelt down, looking in the direction of the city, with a somewhat hesitant expression.

Xie Li, who was next to him, filled the wine for him, and then persuaded him: "General Zhonglang, don't worry about the people in the city for the time being. Today, the Qin army's offensive is so strong that the people in the city know clearly. Such a fierce battle can be felt by everyone. They can naturally understand the sacrifices made by the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall. Therefore, just one night's free food and drink will definitely be understood, and there will be no imbalance."

Zhu Xu raised his head, looked at Xie Li, who was like a worm in his stomach, and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You Jing Xuan, you have a spiritual eye and can see through what others think."

The people on the stage were all Zhu Xu’s confidants, so they said so, just pretend to be a default.

Xie Li held up his wine bowl with both hands and said to Zhu Xu: "General Zhonglang not only has to plan to fight against the Qin army, but also to try to maintain stability in the city. It is extremely laborious. Today, he will take advantage of this great victory to let go of all these troubles. I will stop drunk, how about it?"

On the other side was Fang Bing, the first battalion commander led by Zhu Xu, who also picked up the wine bowl and buzzed: "General General of the Central Army, this kid is right. I have always seen you snatch your face before and didn't even smile. Let's not worry about it today. We haven't drunk it with you for a long time!"

Another lieutenant picked up the wine bowl and shouted: "Yes, we won't say beautiful words like that boy, but we have long wanted to have a drink with the Chief Secretary, just like more than ten years ago, and we won't be drunk and don't return!"

When Zhu Xu heard him talk more than ten years ago, his thoughts seemed to have returned to that time. Under General Huan, he went deep into Yan territory alone, fighting and fighting all the way, and defeating several cities in a row.

That was his most glorious moment.

"Okay! I'll drink it with pain today, and I won't be drunk and I won't be back!"

Zhu Xu's heroic spirit suddenly became. He slapped the table, picked up the wine bowl, and slapped it slightly, and then drank it all in one go.

After everyone finished drinking, Zhu Xu smiled and said, "You rude men, Xie Li is a scholar after all. They all control your beaks. Don't yell "boy" and "boy" keep shouting."

"Haha" Xie Li smiled slightly, with a free and easy look on his face: "The Central Secretary is wrong. Compared with all the brothers, Xie Li is much different in terms of military qualifications and age. It is indeed a matter of 'boy' calling."

After hearing this, Fang Bing laughed and said, "Haha, just for Brother Xie's words, I have to drink a bowl with you, come on!"

Xie Li smiled and said, "Seiwei Fang is generous and mighty, and he is a role model for the younger generation to learn. This bowl of wine, Xie Li will toast you."

After the two of them finished drinking, Zhu Xu said on the side: "Don't look at Xie Li, you guys, are still young, but the achievements of victory today are not smaller than everyone here."

"Oh?" Fang Bing turned to Zhu Xu in confusion, and then asked, "What should I say about Zhonglang?"

In fact, these battalions had doubts in their hearts. At every celebration banquet, the general of the Central Army sat with him every time.

But today, there is an additional clerk among the military officials. The key is that the clerk is still very young, and he should not be even twenty years old.

There was also a lieutenant who thought evilly in his heart: Could it be the illegitimate son of General Zhonglang? Today is a great victory and in a happy mood, should I introduce these subordinates to my own?

"Do you know, who built this new wall in the northwest corner?"

How many people have been promoted to lieutenant for a long time, so naturally they know what this new wall means to the entire Xiangyang?

"Well? Could it be that this was built by Xie Li and others?"

Fang Bing asked incredible ways, and his eyes looking at Xie Li couldn't help but change completely.

"It's not just that, but he proposed this plan to build a city first."

"What! Didn't this be built by General Zhonglang with the foresight and ordered people to?"

"hehe!"

Zhu Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, pondered for a moment, "The younger generation is terrifying! The younger generation is terrifying! Although Jing Xuan had a suggestion before, I also gave him the order, but I did not have much expectation for him before the war. But who knew that the reason why Xiangyang survived today was entirely due to the new city he built. Now you know why I asked you to change his name to him."

Several lieutenants looked at Xie Li with disbelief.

If this was said from his own mouth, they would definitely not believe it, but now it was said from the mouth of the General of the Central Army.

Xie Li was quite uncomfortable when he heard Zhu Xu's straightforward praise, and replied: "General Zhonglang is so important. The first thing to remember for defending the city is that General Zhonglang and everyone here. If the soldiers on the front line had not resisted the Qin army for so long, Xie Li would have been killed by the Qin soldiers, so how could he have the chance to build a city? Secondly, remembering the wall-building achievements, Xie Li thought that it was Mrs. Han. In times of crisis, Mrs. Han transferred all the people in the mansion to the city, otherwise, the city wall would not have been built in such a short time."

After a moment of pause, Xie Li picked up the wine bowl in his hand and continued, "So, Xie Li just did something within his ability under the protection of many soldiers, and he dared not be praised by the General of the Central Army."

Zhu Xu also raised the wine and said, "It is a good thing to not be greedy for merit at a young age, but we cannot be so arrogant. Otherwise, wouldn't we behave like unreasonable?"

"Yes, yes! How could we, so ungrateful, stolen the limelight? We would like to thank you brothers for this bowl of wine!"

For a moment, the wine was filled with wine.
