134 Li Dingguo VS Jiao Lian

ps: Recommend a Song Dynasty novel of similar type as my work [Fu Lunar New Year]. The content is more reasonable and not yy, and it is worth reading.?     ??        w   ww.

The Western Army Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu had nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and 50,000 families left Guiyang, Guizhou. When passing through Guangxi, Chen Bangyan ordered their families to settle in Pingle, Wuzhou, a generation of wealthy prefectures and counties. During this period, the families of Zhongzhenying also moved south to Guilin, Guangxi under the arrangement of Huguang Governor Du Yinxi.

With the example of successful Zhongzhen Camp being restrained, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were not worried that the Ming court would take the opportunity to do anything to them. It would definitely be inconvenient to bring their families to the tour. They arranged for themselves to settle the camp in Guangxi nearby, which not only solved the food and accommodation problems, but also avoided the drag on the army's itinerary. It was the best of both worlds.

After the family was placed in Guangxi, the old and weak in the army also stayed in Guangxi's military farmland. Li and Liu's troops, with more than 15,000 elite troops left after a thousand temperings, finally arrived in Zhaoqing, the capital of Li and Liu, after seven or eight days of marching.

After receiving the news that the Western Army entered Guangdong, Zhu Youlang was very happy and hurriedly sent Chen Zizhuang, the Minister of War, and Jiao Lian, the Chief and Deputy Commander of the 6th Division, Wu Jisi and others to go outside the city to welcome the Suishun Yishi.

Seeing this, Li and Liu felt the sincerity and attention of the court to plead, and they were quite happy. The remaining troops of the Western Army, who were exhausted, did not follow Li and Liu into the city, but were directly arranged in the pre-set barracks in the west of the city to wash and rest.

After Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan generals followed Chen Zizhuang, Jiao Lian and others to guide the officials into the city, they were then taken to the palace. Zhu Youlang planned to personally meet these legendary figures from the late Southern Ming Dynasty in the Palace Political Consultation Hall.

Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others, who were unwrapped in military uniform, stood beside the steps outside the hall. When they heard the emperor summoned him, they immediately followed the palace envoy into the hall to see him.

When they entered the hall, Zhu Youlang looked at the generals carefully.

Standing on the left is Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo is half a head taller than Zhu Youlang, which is enough to be called a tiger-back and bear-bear waist. His black face is moist and transparent. His sword eyebrows are inserted into his temples. His big eyes are bright and radiant, his nose is straight and square, and his face is heroic. He is wearing a black satin tight jacket and tight pants, with a big red silk ribbon on his waist. He is covered with a black satin hero cloak. He does not wear a hat, but only uses a wooden hairpin to keep his head tight.

Standing on the right is Liu Wenxiu. Liu Wenxiu is not tall, a little shorter than Zhu Youlang, and she is very strong. She has a thin waist and a stubborn figure. Her face, which was originally white and jade-like, was slightly black with wind and frost. She has a pair of white and narrow eyes, a square sea mouth, a red lips, a comb, a green silk top, a pink arrow suit, a yellow lion strap on her waist, and a pair of fast boots on her feet. She gives people the impression that she is tall and handsome and has a bit of bookish spirit, looking like a person who has read a book.

Behind the two were the middle and high-level generals of the Western Army, Le Tongwu, Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli and other generals, all of whom were smart, with ape arms and bee waists, and a standard martial figure.

After looking at the generals of the Western Army, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "All the wise men are indeed heroic and extraordinary. From today on, you will be ministers of the Ming Dynasty, with high officials and generous titles. I will never be stingy. I hope that all my beloved men will live up to my expectations and will be loyal and responsible for the Ming Dynasty."

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu did not immediately agree to thank him. The two exchanged gazes. Seeing that the other party nodded slightly, they then spread their clothes and knelt down and bowed to Zhu Youlang, saying, "My minister, Li Dingguo, the Ming Dynasty, (Li Dingguo, Guiyi, Liu Wenxiu), thanked my emperor for his kindness.

Although Zhu Youlang didn't care about this subtle scene. He was the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty before, but now he has suddenly become the upstart Xun Town of the Ming Dynasty. It is normal for them to perform this way.

Zhu Youlang didn't think he had any turtle aura. When the tiger's body was shocked, others would accept it. If you want to truly conquer Li, Liu people had to take it step by step, and they couldn't be anxious.

When Liu and Li bowed their heads, they would have made the ceremony of the king and the ministers.

When the lights first came on, Zhu Youlang held a heavy banquet in the side hall, personally greeting the generals of Li and Liu. In addition to the former Western Army, the guards were personally in charge of the waters, and the middle and senior generals of the 6th Division were also invited. The banquet was the best place to be familiar with relationships and contact with each other.

In the side hall, Emperor Zhu Youlang was wearing a sky-blue dragon robe, a black winged crown, and a jade belt on his waist. He lived in the middle of the hall and rose to his seat with a smile.

When everyone arrives, the banquet will officially begin.

Both Li and Liu were named Earls, and their status was above the leaders of the guards who had no titles. Zhu Youlang and his two seats were sitting west of the throne.

The chief and deputy commander of the guards' personal army, Jiao Lian, Yu Long and Wu Jisi, sat in the east of the imperial throne.

The remaining generals and schools are ranked according to grades, with several cases set up in the Grand Highness, and seats and banquets.

After everyone sat down, the ritual officer walked forward and walked to the middle of the hall, and then said aloud: "Go to the banquet!"

Then a palace maid and eunuch came in one after another and served wine and food.

The palace has been frugal recently, but today is different from the past. The royal decency still needs to be taken into account, so naturally the food and food cannot be too bad.

On each table, there are large plates of roast pork, fat chicken, roast goose and duck, roast mutton, steamed willow fried fish, pig ****, large and small intestines, oil-carried waist and other meat dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

The tables of Liu, Li Er, Jiao and Yu were filled with delicious dishes, including clear soup, fish bones, chicken shredded rolls, fresh shrimp, sea cucumbers, wheat, roasted tendons, squid rolls, fish belly, braised scallops, braised shark fins, steamed fish skin, chicken slices, stewed bird eggs, fried Buddha hands, braised three-silk, pearl balls, fish fillets, meat fire roast, rice noodles, etc.

After serving the dishes, Zhu Youlang held a cup and said, "In times of crisis, 40,000 soldiers of the rebel army surrendered to our Ming Dynasty and drove the enemy together. This is a blessing for the people and the blessing of the country and the country. I respect all the people!

The generals were still a little noisy, but now they were busy retracting their smiles and bowing seriously.

When the emperor raised his glass and drank it, everyone stood up again, returned to their seats, and gave the emperor a cup together, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.

The generals also had a great time to eat.

Zhu Youlang was so delicious that he could eat it with them.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm. When the meal was lively, Yu Long, the commander of the navy, suddenly suggested unexpectedly: "Today is a great day in the army. It is the reason why not go back drunk without returning. And it is said that a general came to dance a sword. How about the emperor and everyone?

After hearing this, the generals applauded. Yu Long was about to greet a military academy who was proficient in swordsmanship to appear in the sword dance. Suddenly, Wu Jisi, who was standing beside him, stood out from his seat. He waved, "General, wait!"

After winking at Yu Long, Wu Jisi continued to suggest: "I heard that General Li of Wu Yi had a sharp shooting for a long time, and I was unparalleled, and I regret not seeing it. General Jiao Lian and Jiao who are here today are also known as unparalleled arrow skills in the army, which made the Tartars frightened. Zhisi dared to suggest to our emperor that he would use his two skills to shoot each other to satisfy everyone's eyes. Do you think it is okay?"

Wu Jisi's proposal was very bold, called Banquet, but it was actually almost provocative. Zhu Youlang was quite clear about their psychology. Liu and Li tribes received the title of Earl just because they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Wu Jisi, Yu Long and others followed him through life and death several times and made many merits, but they still had difficulty getting a title. If they were in normal times, they were of the highest level among the imperial guards, and although they did not have titles, they were in power and the emperor rewarded and punished fairly, and they would not have any idea.

Now General Liu and Li of the Western Army have entered Beijing with the Earl's medal, and their status has suddenly been higher than that of all the guards' personal troops. General Wu Jisi, Yu Long and other generals will definitely be a little difficult to balance. Their dissatisfaction has not been hidden from Zhu Youlang's eyes, but Zhu Youlang is not worried. He will not disappoint his direct soldiers. In the military system reform that he is about to launch, Jiao, Wu and Yu will be awarded a lord, and their status will not be under Li and Liu. As emperors, they must ensure the balance of power in the army.

Zhu Youlang did not point out Wu Jisi's little thoughts, and his suggestion was indeed lively and fresh. If it was handled well, it would not be a good opportunity to enhance each other's relationship. It is necessary for the Western Army and the Imperial Army in Beijing to use this to run in.

When the generals were drunk and hot, they all became interested when they heard Wu Jisi's proposal. Zhu Youlang didn't want to discourage the generals' interest. The current problem depends on the opinions of Li Dingguo and Jiao Lian.

Jiao Lian is recognized as the first sharpshooter among the imperial guards in the Beijing camp. In the Wuzhou war of rescue and defense, many enemy generals and soldiers died under his arrow. In the Li Chengdong army in Guangzhou, Jiao Lian's reputation is already very famous. This is Jiao Lian's pride. He is very happy to offer his skills in front of the emperor and the generals, but it is limited to politeness. He has to say humbly: "Wu Yi, Bo, is in front of him, and Lian has a little trick, how dare he show off his ugly appearance in front of the saint!"

His refusal was not firm. After being encouraged by everyone, he looked at Li Dingguo's expression and couldn't help but say: "Of course, Wu Yibo is happy, Lian is willing to accompany him. It's just a small skill. Don't laugh at me after watching it!"

In Li Dingguo's impression, the Ming army's combat power has never been high, and the Jing camp's combat power is even worse. Li Dingguo did not expect that Jiao Lian, the commander of the Ming army's Jing camp, would challenge him and compete for archery skills. He was eager to try it out.

He was confident that archery skills would be perfect. If the shooting was done, the Ming army would respect him and show the strength of the Western Army. However, he was unwilling to show off his skills and gained the upper hand of Jiao Lian. He knew that he would be above the master as a guest, which would easily arouse disgust. He was determined to find a balance between showing his skills and not derogating Jiao Lian and act according to the opportunity.

"Arrow shooting is not the director of Dingguo." Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment and smiled: "General Jiao's name is true, so please ask General Jiao to shoot first, Dingguo will watch and learn!"
