The general's house holds a banquet, rather than the general's house holds a banquet, which naturally has different meanings.

Although it was only two yards next to each other on the street, one was Jiang Han, the general guarding Ningxia, who held a banquet to entertain Xu Xun, the other was to entertain relatives and friends in a private capacity. So on this day, the officers from Ningxia Town were all complete, and even many senior officers from Ningxia Forewar and left and right central guards came.

Everyone thought that this young powerful man who was confused when he came was bound to show off his airs, and it was delayed until the end. But when they thought that they had arrived early, they suddenly discovered that Jiang Han was chatting and laughing with a few people in front of the general's meeting room of the General's Mansion. Among them, the one who stood with a smile on his face with his hands behind his back was not Xu Xun who had seen before?

Since Xu Xun returned from Zhenyuan Pass, he brought news of the military horses that had previously invaded Guyuan, and then asked him to draw troops from Ningxia vanguards and left and right central guards. Jiang Han had been thinking about what to do if Xu Xunqiang ordered him to send troops, and even had the Pegasus urgently sued Yang Yiqing, the general manager of the trilateral. He wanted to take advantage of the banquet tonight to find out the news, but who thought that Xu Xun had arrived early, but he made three rules and did not talk about business today. So, at this moment, he could only absent-mindedly listen to the many customs and customs around Xu Xun who passed by the Xuanfu Datong this time.

Qiu Yue and several generals came up. When Chen Xiong smiled and mentioned Datong's wife, one of the ginseng generals couldn't help but lick his lips and said, "If you want to talk about Datong's wife, there are indeed no one in the north except the capital. I heard that there are more than 2,000 music households in Huaji, and there are singing, dancing, orchestras day and night. In the past, King Qing had spent a lot of money to get a group of singing and dancing girls from Datong several times, so that there are the female musicians in the Qing Palace. The brothel Chu Pavilion in our Ningxia city. Many of them are also women from Datong. If you want to say it, they are more delicious than women from Huaiyang and Jiangnan."

Although this topic was raised by Chen Xiong, it was extended too far now, and even the previous incident of King Qing’s birthday was revealed. Jiang Han couldn’t help but glance at the other side in dissatisfaction. However, the general of the ginseng was Chu Hong, the left ginseng general of Lingzhou, and had just returned from Lingzhou. He didn’t know the previous holiday, so he didn’t notice Jiang Han’s dark face at all. Speaking of this, he even asked with a smile: “Master Rong, since he is a banquet to host a banquet to entertain Pingbeibo and all the nobles from the capital, it is better to give me a note to borrow a few jealous people from the Prince Qing’s mansion, otherwise there would be no taste in the midst of drinking and drinking..."

"Cough, cough cough!"

Jiang Han coughed a few times and was about to hit Chu Hong a few words, but Xu Xun smiled and said, "Why, the singer and dancer in Prince Qing's Mansion can borrow it casually on weekdays?"

"I heard that King Qing did not look at the birthday gifts. He only looked at his feelings, which shows that he was quite generous. Besides, the General Office was named, so how could he not borrow it?" Although Chen Xiong was nearly fifty years old, he had not been exhausted for nearly a month and a half. Xu Xun said that he would only be a pastime tonight, so he said with a smile, "What do you think of General Jiang?"

Although there are also inspectors in Ningxia City, such a thing cannot be covered, and the censors will be impeached. But seeing Xu Xun seemingly disregarding him, Jiang Han nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to Prince Qing's Mansion!"

As the generals arrived one after another, Jiang Han was unable to introduce Xu Xun one by one. To his surprise, he was just leading someone to report his official position, but Xu Xun could smile and say about his achievements in the next moment. If he was just a guerrilla general at the level of the guerrilla general, it would be fine, but the garrisons, the chief officers, and even the commanders and commanders of the Ningxia guards, most of Xu Xun seemed to know the most proud military achievements of the man. He could easily tell the people's most proud military achievements. In this way, when the banquet was really started, the officers who were attending the banquet today were originally uneasy.

Located in the northwest, the most commonly used dishes is mutton. Jiang Han was originally worried that Xu Xun was from Jinling and might not be used to eating mutton, but when he saw him drinking a large bowl of wine and eating meat, he had no taboos when talking and laughing, which was very different from the previous two meetings. He felt his head was messy for a moment. Especially when he saw a commander holding a large bowl to toast, Xu Xun drank it all without saying a word, and he almost didn't stare out his eyes.

The wine from the northwest is strong at the mouth, and it is even stronger in the stomach!

Xu Xun also knew his alcohol content. He felt like he was burning after the bowl. He saw that many other people were eager to try it out, but he held the bowl upside down on the table and said with a smile: "It's already six or seven bowls, so I can't drink it anymore. Please allow me to be as casual as I can. I still want to keep some stomach and taste other good things. I can't just fill the wine!"

Just at this time, a large plate of mutton was sent up, and the generals naturally burst into laughter. After all, today's military generals have not yet come to the point where they imitate the demeanor of civil servants, and even need to support them when walking. They wear Confucian shirts and silk scarves, just like Zhuge Wuhou in the poem. The most respected is the heroic demeanor and cheerful temperament. For example, those civil servants who are very restrained in everything and even eat just can taste it. It is really constrained to sit with them.

Therefore, Qiu Yue even heard the left and right whispering there: "I thought this Pingbei Bo was a powerful man who was not good to get close to. Now it seems that as long as I don't provoke him, it would be fine. Look, I'm just grabbing him now! When General Jiang held a banquet to entertain General Yang, General Yang sat there, but no one dared to say while eating, let alone attracting singers and dancers to cheer him up!"

"What I said is... Alas, I'm here, it's actually Caiyun Class of Prince Qing's Mansion!"

With this exclamation, some generals even stood up for nothing. It should be noted that there are many kabuki music in Qingfu, but there are only one from Datong. Among the thirty-seven people, twelve people are for fun, twelve people dance, and twelve people are for singing. The leading singer Ji Ren is called "Sa Shangxue", because his skin is better than snow, he is the most favored by King Qing. Now that King Qing can send such a team to the General's Mansion, it shows that Xu Xun is very proud of his face.

However, most people don’t know that if it were not for the heavy birthday gifts that Xu Xun had sent to Prince Qing’s Mansion before, and this time he secretly sent someone to say that King Qing would definitely not have reciprocated his favor. He was so generous and generous.

After three tones, the sound of the pipa started. Although Xu Xun had heard the song "Ten-side Ambush" in the capital, which made Zhang Cai, a famous scholar, praised by Yu Tangchun, in the capital, at this time, he couldn't help but stop the chopsticks and appreciate it carefully. Suddenly, the tune suddenly changed, and several of them were still the light and slow twists before, while several others suddenly played a strong and powerful tune with their right hands, but it was like a storm in the plucking strings. At this moment, there was a Ji Ren, who was the most gorgeous in costume and the fairest skin, and started to sing.

"The long clouds in Qinghai are dark in the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand is wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed."

After one person sang, everyone sang together. For a moment, the sound of the pipa and the singing seemed to be merged together. Chen Xiong suddenly took the lead and called a good word. He started with colorful sounds and thunders all over the place. Even Jiang Han, who was worried that Xu Xun would ask him to borrow the singing and dancing team from Prince Qing’s Mansion to have another purpose, was also relieved when he saw Xu Xun.

Zhu Houzhao has always loved to play, and Zhang Yong accompanied the master to watch the singing and dancing of the Taofangsi in the palace. He often went to fireworks in the Yanle Hutong, Goulan Hutong, Goulan Hutong, at first. At the beginning, he didn't think the lyrics were novel. But after listening to it for a while, even a castrator felt like he was thriving. At this moment, when the vocal music sounded slightly lowered, he couldn't help but ask, "The singer and the pagoda have seen them, where are those dancers?"

"The dancer is here!"

With Xu Xun's low answer, he saw that twelve dancers dressed as generals also poured into the huge hall. The leather boots and light armor, coupled with the hat that looked like a helmet, and the sword that was not true or false, brought out a bit of a murderous atmosphere on the battlefield. As the sound of the pipa suddenly stopped, replaced by the sound of a long flute, everyone unknowingly developed a kind of desolation and desolation of the setting sun shining in the desert.

"The black clouds are pressing against the city and the city is about to destroy, and the light of armor is coming to the sun and golden scales. The sound of horns is full of autumn colors, and the fish is covered with swallows and fat at night is condensed. Half a roll of red flag is coming to Yishui. The frost is heavy and the drums are not rising. I can report to you the golden platform and support the jade dragon to die for you."

Although it was another Tang poem, the singers sang in a low voice, which was even more tragic than the previous passion. The dancers followed the lyrics from the initial guards to the final enemy attack. Although only twelve people were there, they made people feel as if they were there. Even though most of the generals on the seats fought with the enemy, they were all focused at this moment. But this time, until the music stopped, the singer and dancer, and the musicians bowed together, and there was still silence around.

"It is indeed worthy of the singing and dancing of Prince Qing's Mansion, and it is well-deserved."

Xu Xun finished watching this song and dance that was only a cup of tea from an appreciation perspective, so he was the first to speak to break the silence. Seeing that everyone was still bowing to the ground, he spoke and said, "Is this song and dance a new arrangement?"

Hearing this, the singer who was leading the singing raised his head, which was exactly the sweet-skinned Ruxue: "Reported to Pingbei Bo, Jianxian and others just arranged this class of singing and dancing ten days ago. They originally planned to perform on this year's 30th birthday, but today His Highness Qing specially ordered that new songs and dances must be performed with new songs and dances, so they were brought up in a hurry. If there is any mistake, please forgive me."

Speaking of this, she lit her forehead and bowed again. Today she was sent to the General's Mansion to perform her skills. Everyone in the Caiyun team knew that Jiang Han, the general general in charge of Ningxia, was in order to host a banquet to entertain Xu Xun, the Prince of Pingbei, and her own King Qing seemed to have a good intention, so she specially sold her strength. But even so, after all, it was just rehearsed, and there were always two or three small mistakes. Thinking that there was a noble man from the capital in front of her, everyone was inevitably a little nervous.

"Good music, good singing, good dancing, and the most important thing is that today's appearance is right!"

Xu Xun stood up with a smile, picked up the wine jar that had been put aside just now, turned the upside down bowl again, poured it all over, and then raised it to everyone, saying, "I was already unable to drink, but today I watched such singing and dancing, I really must have wine. Generals, I just had such good songs, singing and dancing to drink, I wish you a bowl!"

I originally thought that today's banquet was a Hongmen banquet, and all the generals came with trepidation, but after the good wine and food, they even saw the good songs and dances that they had almost never seen in the past. Then Xu Xun toasted himself, and everyone felt very proud of him. For a moment, General Jiang Han took the lead. The generals stood up and rushed to pour their own wine. Finally, they raised their bowls together.

"Just with this bowl, I wish I won't teach Hu Ma to cross Yinshan in the future!"

I just used two Tang poems, and Xu Xun said this sentence again, and the upper and lower people didn't feel abrupt, so they responded one after another. The singers and dancers knelt down carefully looked at each other, and they all knew that the song and dance just now were right to the appetite of these nobles in the capital, so they were naturally extremely happy. Sure enough, after the top generals drank it all, Xu Xun said, "I specially asked you to come from Prince Qing's Mansion to perform such a song, and you can't let you go for nothing and enjoy it!"

Jiang Han was about to say that he had prepared the reward, but unexpectedly, a young officer stood up beside Xu Xun. He recognized that it had been sent by the vanguard of the government army to Ningxia Town to do business, as if it was Cao Mi, the second son of Cao Xiong, the general guarding Guyuan, who had raised his eyebrows, but saw that Cao Mi had already carried a box and walked to the singers and dancers.

"The common things of gold and jade cannot be rewarded with this good song, song and dance. I heard that in the past, women had skirt knives. The skirt knives in this box will be rewarded with you!"

All the prostitutes were shocked, but knew that the General's Mansion would have another reward. The leader of the army had to thank him again. After taking the box, he left the hall. When Jiang Han's personal soldiers sent a basket of clear money, she smiled and ordered the people who followed her to collect it. When she held the box and several other people who had always been close to her, she couldn't help but instigate the sisters, so she uncovered the lid. Seeing that there were indeed six neatly arranged skirt knives. She couldn't help but grab one of them and play with them.

"This Pingbei Bo is really strange. I heard that he specially ordered someone to say what kind of war songs to perform. Fortunately, we have rehearsed this way, otherwise how can we get it?" Another Jiren also curiously leaned over and looked around the box. Seeing that all the black sheaths were all black, she couldn't help but curl her lips. "I want me to tell you, I really hope he can give two internal jewelry."

"Little hoof, we can afford the jewelry made in it? Even if we send it back, it will probably be handed over. The princess and those serious ladies are not enough to share it. It is not as good as these skirt knives, and they may fall into our hands."

Zui Shangxue snorted softly, and suddenly pulled his sword out of the sheath. Seeing that the unremarkable appearance of the skirt knife blade was extremely short and sharp, she couldn't help but have an idea, and immediately put it in her arms with a smile. Then she looked at the other four people around her and whispered: "What is it in the horizontal and vertical way? We know that each one will keep a souvenir for each one. No matter what, it is also something that the famous Pingbei Bo rewarded. The rest will be presented to His Highness Qing, and it is said that it was rewarded by Pingbei Bo. I thought that the concubines of the Prince's Mansion would not want such things. He either rewarded me again or kept it for himself. He wouldn't ask how many Pingbei Bo rewarded me?"

Although everyone said it was better to give gold and silver jewelry, it was obvious that the things were not good-looking, but they were indeed sharp and short and inconspicuous, but they were kept for self-defense. For a moment, the other four people hesitated for a moment, and then one of them reached out to take a hand and hid it in their arms like a thief. When the snow was stuffed on it and covered the lid of the box, someone asked curiously: "I don't know why Pingbei Bo Da came from the capital from afar, so why did he carry something like a skirt knife?"

Not only were the singers and dancers confused, but Xu Xun rewarded the things in the hall, and many of the generals were puzzled. At this time, it was the end of the song and the people were dispersed. Some people were already drunk, so in the seat with their left hand, someone couldn't help but ask: "I wonder why Pingbei Bo just rewarded those singers and dancers with his skirt?"

As soon as these words were said, the others couldn't help but look at the talkative person. Especially General Jiang Han, there was a guess that Xu Xun's skirt knives were probably not just for those singers and dancers. If they turned around, they really had to attack, and anyone among the generals refused to respond. Xu Xun's skirt knives would be thrown out for the rest of their lives!

"I heard that the people in the northwest are fierce and there are many heroes and heroes. Even women are strong, and it is customary to carry a skirt knife with them. I made some preparations at the moment. I didn't expect that I really have the chance to send them out today."

Xu Xun answered casually. Seeing that the commander who was asking was dragged down by his colleagues, the others had no more words, he stood up and bowed casually and said, "Today I think it should be the guest and the host who is happy. Ningxia is located in a bitter and cold place on the border. You have been here for many years, and you can't help but feel bored and depressed. There is nothing wrong with appreciating songs and dances occasionally. But you also need to know that Ningxia Town is one of the nine borders. Although the enemy attacked Guyuan this time, if you kill one, Ningxia Town is not safe to rest! Listening to singing and dancing in peace is entertainment, but when the war is in full swing, it is a sharp blade and a neck that is not aware of it!"

Seeing that the following generals, regardless of whether they are deep or shallow, all their faces were red, Xu Xun slowed down and said, "When the King of Kings and Taifu once asked the King of Qin for female music. Today I dare to tell you that if the Tartars could not dare to offend the border for several years, I would be willing to ask the King of Qing for female music, thinking that the army would entertain the fun! Only during the Taiping period can we appreciate the singing and dancing easily and comfortably. Otherwise, no matter how good these female musicians are, if the enemy soldiers are at the city or even break the danger of breaking the city, they will have to commit suicide! I will say this, please reflect on yourself!"

When Xu Xun and others left the table, Jiang Han, the general soldier who brought everyone to the door, couldn't help but sigh. However, before he could even glad that Xu Xun had just knocked on his mouth, someone whispered in the other side.

"Is that Pingbei Bo telling the truth? He can really bring the Caiyun class from King Qing, how can King Qing bear to bear?"

"You big fool Peng, shut up, no one will be dumb if you don't speak!"

"Why should I shut up? I heard that this Pingbei Bo is the one who says the most. He should be more than just talking! Such a beauty is hard to be a common side, and it is not okay to think about it?"

Qiu Yue looked back and saw that although only Peng Da Sisi was yelling there, many people showed deep feelings. I remember that Wang Yue had brought the entire female music team from the King of Qin. Although he was included in the mansion, he was not alone. Instead, any of the soldiers under his command could receive one. At that time, the merit was an official position, a silver or a woman, and who would not do his best to do his life?

Although it had passed, the feast of the General's Mansion was still talked about. Especially when he missed this event, the generals and generals who did not see the singing and dancing in the Caiyun Class of the Prince Qing Mansion were all beating their chests and stamping their feet and regretting it. And the officers who went to Guandi Temple to ask for the meeting of Xu Xun were also endless. This time, Xu Xun did not close the door to the people he recommended in Xing'an Bo Mansion in the capital, but met them one by one. Even if there were some suggestions and suggestions with loopholes, he would listen patiently. Until the early morning of that day, he finally waited for a few people who were exhausted. However, there was no Mo Feng among them.

"The enemy has appeared from the northern foot of Helan Mountain and has crossed the Yellow River and entered the trap. It seems that there should be only six or seven thousand people. Looking at the smoke and dust, they did not bring much baggage, nor did they carry many people."

After learning this news, Xu Xun finally let go of his biggest concern. The general guarding Guyuan was Cao Xiong, who was his subordinate to Xu Xun. Yang Yiqing also rushed to Pingliang Mansion himself. If the enemy successfully plundered, the two of them would be guilty of being unable to escape. Now it seems that it is Yang Yiqing and Cao Xiong, so it should not be a big advantage!

An hour later, the Ningxia Town General Office also sent the latest news. Yu Kou retreated from the Jinglu Guard one after another, and the trilateral general Yang Yiqing rushed to Ningxia Town. Knowing that Yang Yiqing was afraid of making trouble, Xu Xun saw that Qiu Yue who came to report was obviously looking at his face, he said, "You repay General Jiang, I understand this."

As soon as Qiu Yue left, Jiang Bin, who followed him from Datong and followed Xu Xun to Zhenyuan Pass for a while, finally couldn't help but ask, "Pingbei Bo, since the movements of the enemy are known, what are you doing now is a war or a defense?"

Xu Xun glanced at Jiang Bin and knew that the man who had been dragging him back and never returned to Datong, but was afraid he was thinking about fighting. Now this time, he was patrolling the border, not the general of the army, and he was specially engaged in the battle with the General Pinglu. Moreover, the enemy situation is not completely clear yet. Instead of rushing to crash into the ambush circle, it would be better to drag him, wait for Yang Yiqing to arrive, and then think about what the purpose of Balsborot and the Fire Screen are.

No one is a fool, it depends on who has better patience! (To be continued)
