"Everyone."

Li Xun raised his glass and stood up. Everyone calmed down and looked at him.

"Today we can sit together. This is our fate. For this fate, let's have a drink together."

"Well said, let's have a drink for this fate."

Yan Yi raised his wine glass and was the first to stand up to respond.

"cheers."

"cheers."

Everyone stood up and drank the wine in their glasses together.

Whether it is friendly or unfriendly, any contradictions and grudges seem insignificant in the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. If everyone can sit together, it is really a kind of fate. Everything can be temporarily let go, just be happy, just drink.

Li Xun raised his head and the atmosphere of the banquet began to become warm.

Li Xun, Huang Hui and Kou Xiong sat in the upper head position, and the three of them were also the highest status and status here. Then, middle and senior generals came over one by one to toast the three of them. After a round, Li Xun drank more than twenty glasses of wine.

Li Xun held the wine glass and took the initiative to walk down, patting Yan Yi's shoulder, who was fighting fiercely with everyone.

Yan Yi turned around and saw that it was Li Xun, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Li Xiangguo, how can you bother you here? It's just a rude general."

Li Xun hammered Yan Yi for a moment and cursed with a smile: "When did you kid be so polite to me?"

Yan Yi leaned closer and whispered: "It's too casual in public, but others can gossip."

After saying that, Yan Yi raised his glass and said loudly: "Li Xiangguo, I will give you a glass."

Li Xun glanced at Yan Yi, the smile on his face faded a little, and he raised his glass and drank it in one sip.

Yan Yi flipped the wine glass over and said that he had finished drinking without a drop left. Then he said, "You go over, I'll fight with them."

Yan Yi sat back and continued to fight with the people at the same table.

Li Xun held the wine glass and glanced at the tables. The number of generals with lower levels was the largest, but also the most lively. They didn’t have so many scruples, they spoke loudly, cursed loudly, and drank in big gulps. Yan Yi’s generals with higher levels were not many, but they were still quite lively. You drink one cup by one, and you have to decide the outcome if you hold your breath.

Although Kou Xiong was born in a wealthy family, he was quite bold and had no so much thoughts or rules. He was having a lot of fighting with everyone at Yan Yi's table. As for Huang Hui, after drinking some wine and eating some things, he got up and prepared to leave here.

"Elder General, you haven't drunk much, are you going to leave now?"

Huang Hui walked closer and Li Xun said with a smile.

Huang Hui smiled and said, "Although I am good at drinking, I don't have enough alcohol. I'd better drink less. It's not worth it if I drink too much at such a big age."

Li Xun smiled, put down his wine glass, and said, "I'll go out for a walk with you."

“Okay.”

Huang Hui nodded and walked out of here with Li Xun.

The place where the cocktail party was held was close to the city wall. Li Xun and Huang Hui climbed up to the city wall, and the wind was blowing, which was quite interesting.

Huang Hui looked at the camp outside the city in the distance, and the lights were brightly lit at this moment. Not only were they generals going to celebrate the New Year, but the soldiers in the military camp also wanted to celebrate the New Year. Huang Hui rarely let go of it once. In addition to arranging 5,000 soldiers on duty, all the other soldiers could eat and drink tonight, and not get drunk.

Li Xun stood on a high place and could clearly see the whole picture of the city. During the Chinese New Year, Jiayan City seemed very quiet and depressed. The people in the city must have hated the imperial guards very much. The massacre, more than 100,000 people died innocently. Such a thing should not have happened, but it happened just now. This was undoubtedly a huge disaster for the people of Jiayan City, but for the court, its reputation was also a huge blow.

A war will make a prosperous city extremely depressed and sluggish, and it may take several years, or even decades, before it can slowly recover.

Li Xun sighed, "How great would it be if there was no war in this world?"

Huang Hui glanced at Li Xun and smiled and said, "Why did Lord Li suddenly sigh like this?"

Li Xun shook his head and said nothing.

Huang Hui said softly: "Mr. Li is also a leader. You should know that even in the prosperous times, war never stopped. For the sake of their own interests, you will finish your debut. I have been in the army for more than 30 years, and the longest period of leisure time will not exceed five years."

Li Xun said, "Are you tired?"

Huang Hui said in a low voice: "You may not know that before you were twenty years old, I never thought of joining the army. I have always been a scholar. After passing the Juren at the age of nineteen, I took the Jinshi twice, but I didn't. In the end, I received the favor of my father and became an official with my family. When I was twenty-three, I became a county magistrate in Hedong."

Li Xun asked curiously: "Why did he become a general later?"

Huang Hui said softly: "In the third year of Zhongcheng, Emperor Pingzong led 400,000 imperial troops to conquer Hebei, and was eventually defeated. More than 200,000 troops of Hebei vassal states rushed into Hedong. Several ministers in the court fled to me to escape danger. But after only a day, a general from Hebei led 7,000 people to chase me. The ministers in the court ordered me to lead all the people in the city to defend the death."

Li Xun nodded and said, "It must have been very tragic later."

Huang Hui was silent, and after a moment, he silently said: "No, I opened the city and surrendered."

Hearing this answer, Li Xun was a little surprised: "Why do this?"

Huang Hui said softly: "That general is here to capture those ministers in the court. There are only a few hundred soldiers in the city. How can he guard the seven thousand enemies? If he surrenders, he will die only those ministers. If he does not surrender, after the city is broken, tens of thousands of people in the city will probably die tragically. I went out of the city alone and found the general of Hebei. He agreed on the condition of surrendering or not slaughtering the city."

Speaking of this, Huang Hui looked at Li Xun and sighed, "After those ministers were arrested, they begged for mercy in every possible way, and they were full of ugly things, but they were still unable to escape death. From this time, I finally understood a truth: my talent is very average. To be a civil servant, I will be the governor of a state. What can I do for the people and the court? I can't do anything, so I chose to abandon civil and military affairs. I am still familiar with military tactics, and it is still not a big problem to be a general. At that time, I have thousands of soldiers in my hands, and at least I can protect a state or a city. This is my value."

Li Xun whispered: "Elder General, you are too modest."

Huang Hui shook her head and said silently: "You asked me if I was tired just now. I was very tired and very tired. I have never been relaxed since the first day of joining the army."

Li Xun said in confusion: "Then why do you have to persist?"
