Chapter 43 Hongmen Banquet, or Engagement Banquet

The war clouds that had been shrouded in the sky over the Tiande Army for several months finally disappeared with Liu Desan's self-restraint and surrender.√     Net W★w    W    .

In order to protect their subordinates, veterans who had been in the army lowered their eyebrows and bowed their backs to surrender to the younger generation. This was not only a heart-wrenching helplessness, but also a responsibility that a true man should have.

Yang Hao preserved the decentness that Liu Desan and the surrendered soldiers in Hedong should have. Liu Desan also reciprocates. He drafted a long list of personnel for Yang Hao, almost all the talents who were surrendered. Yang Hao copied the list to the commanders of each battalion and ordered them to collect all personnel under his name.

Guansuo's intelligence room also began to operate efficiently. Dozens of bride-taking teams ran to all directions overnight. Their mission was to take the families of the people listed on the list to Fengzhou. Losing the army to surrender to the enemy was a serious crime. In order to prevent the betrayal of the subordinates, the powers in each town took their families as hostages. If the generals who were captured wanted to protect their families, they had to commit suicide.

In fact, Guan Suo had already started the action long before the end of the war. He was from Hedong and was very familiar with the situation in Hedong, so he seemed to be at ease in doing things. The relatives of Yu Chongchong, Wu Chizan, Sui Wohu and others set out on the road to Feng'an. However, Liu Desan's relatives were closely monitored by Liu Qingling and could not take action for the time being.

Shi Xiong also collected a lot of talents. He was very interested in the strong and tough-working soldiers of Hedong. He carefully selected 800 warriors, formed the Xiong battalion, and served as the general of the commander-in-chief. His four sworn brothers also formed their own army and battalions, and prepared to split up with the Zhenwu army.

The black man and Wutu tribe also captured thousands of Hedong soldiers. They regarded the surrendered soldiers as slaves and beat and scolded them at will, and finally stirred up the riots. After the black man suppressed the riots, he wanted to kill all the surrendered soldiers. Yang Hao came forward to stop them and exchanged 930 Hedong surrendered soldiers with eighty cars of gold, silver and jewelry.

In order to thank the army for helping him expel foreign enemies and quell the civil strife, Wang Ben held a big banquet in the city of surrender and rewarded the troops. The war that lasted for several months made the Tiande army barren for thousands of miles and the people's livelihood withered. Wang Ben had to do it, but he could not bring out a few decent tables of wine and food. Fortunately, he was all treated to some rough soldiers, as long as there was wine and meat!

Without a beautiful singer, she ordered the soldiers to sing with steel knives and shoved their shields.

Halfway through the wine, Yang Hao walked to the Wumen of Manhei with a wine pot and said, "Thank you for your kind help from the grassland. Without you, there would be no today's banquet. I would like to all of you to give you a bowl of wine!" Man Old Wen, the ruling alliance of the Five Divisions, said, "We are good friends of the alliance with blood. If your friends are in trouble, they should naturally help."

Yang Hao asked the five leaders with a drunken smell: "Are we really friends?" Gulu Mangyue's leader Man said, "Of course we are friends! Otherwise, who would risk be beheading and fight against the Hedong Army?" The other four leaders also agreed.

Yang Hao laughed and said, "But you are not friends enough!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Duochu said, "Brother Yang, please make it clear, why are we not friends enough?"

Yang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll ask you, you usually go to your friend's house to help. Will you steal other people's children and slaves before leaving?" Old Man immediately understood what Yang Hao said, and immediately said, "Isn't this going to your friend's house to help catch a few sheep! Many people have died, shouldn't we be compensated?"

Yang Hao asked: "Can there be such compensation in the alliance we have signed?"

Duo Chumo snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Those people were taken from the Hedong Army. They are like the ownerless cattle and sheep on the grassland. Whoever has a sharp knife will be their masters."

After hearing this, Yang Hao laughed, pulled out his waist knife, placed it on the table, and said, "I wonder if my knife is sharp enough?" The five leaders changed their faces when they saw this. Yu Yanlu threw the porcelain cup in his hand to the ground, and dozens of iron armored soldiers rushed out from behind the curtain.

The black general Gu Duoli roared, and immediately overturned the table and ordered the guard to say, "Tangren turned against each other and fought out of the city!"

After saying that, he waved his sword and slashed at Yang Hao's face. Yang Hao dodged away and threw the wine pot in his hand towards Gu Duoli. A thin figure beside him was as fast as a spirit ape, and he waved his sword to slash Gu Duoli's face and slashed at Gu Duoli's face. Gu Duoli hurriedly swung his sword to block it. With a "default", Mars jumped around, and the scimitar in Gu Duoli's hand was cut into pieces, and his arms were sore, as if they were hit by a heavy hammer.

Gu Duoli is nearly nine feet tall, big and round, and looks like an iron tower. She is known as the "No. 1 Warrior of the Black Man". With this move, his weapon was broken by his opponent and his arm was damaged. It was like adding a cup of cold water to a boiling pot, and there was no sound. The restless black man retreated back in dismay.

Guduoli was even more shocked when she saw that the person who fought with him was just a black, thin and short scarred man. He asked with lingering fear: "Who are you?"

The scar-faced man replied: "Zhu Qi, the military captain of the Liehuo Camp,"

Gu Duoli didn't understand what official position the "Dianjun Academy Captain" was, so he asked the Wutu tribe who was standing beside him Jin Mili. Jin Mili said: "That is the centurion of the Han people." The nobles of the black barbarians were even more frightened and uneasy when they heard this. Jin Mili took the opportunity to intimidate the five barbarians: "The Han army is of strict rank, the one with great abilities ranks at a high position, and the one with less abilities ranks at the last position. This person..." Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Gu Duoli.

Zhu Qi sneered, "If you don't accept it, we will fight again. Zhu Qi can defeat you without using weapons." This sentence made the crowd of Man Hei tribes angry. Man Lao Wen, the elder brother of Man Wu's alliance, drank everyone and said to Yang Hao, "Do you dare to 'opposite' us? If you win, we will return all the women and men who have been looted, and you will also share half of the gold and silver. If you lose, we will take the women and men away, and you will not be allowed to get entangled."

Yang Hao sneered and asked, "How to fight?"

"Each of three players will win two games as the winner."

Yang Hao nodded, "Do you count the numbers?" The five leaders of Manhei responded in unison: "The great ruler counts the numbers."

Duo Chumo asked back: "What about you?" Shi Xiong and Wang Ben also responded in unison: "Brother Yang's words are ours."

The two sides were about to choose a candidate. A young general suddenly jumped out of Gulumangyue's team. He was less than six feet tall, wearing a black iron mask, tiger-headed military boots, and covered with a fish-scale armor specially used by the Hedong Army. His head was half black and half yellow and long and messy.

Although others were thin, the two copper hammers on their hands seemed very heavy.

As soon as he came out of the battle, the leader of the Gulu Mangyue tribe, Man Wu jumped out to stop him. The two of them muttered a few words, and the Man Wu retreated with a smile. The young man walked straight to Yang Hao and said in rough and hard Chinese words: "I am Yuegu from the Gulu Mangyue tribe, come and fight me!" Yu Yanlu was furious when he heard this and shouted: "What are you? Are you worthy to fight with our Grandmaster?"

Old Man stood up and laughed, "What is fighting against generals is a skill, not an official position. Is Marshal Yang timid?" The five barbarians laughed.

Yang Hao pushed Yu Yanfu away, took out a big gun and walked into the field.

The soldiers of Xining Army who were slapped their swords and slapped their shields to drink Yang Hao's drum.

Seeing that Yang Hao was agitated, Wang Ben felt a little worried and asked Shi Xiong secretly: "Have you learned Kung Fu?" Shi Xiong pondered: "He has been an imperial guard, and must have learned it." Wang Ben called the tooth general Xiong Lindai and secretly told him: "Let the archers prepare, and if they are not good, they will save people immediately." As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard thunderous shouts everywhere, and the soldiers of Xining Army were like crazy, shouting and jumping. Wang Ben looked into the field and was shocked: Yue Gu, a young black general, fell to the ground at this time, and threw his two hammers aside, and was so angry that he was smashing the blue bricks on the ground with his fists.

Yang Hao was waving proudly to the surroundings.

Wang Ben couldn't believe that he saw everything, so he asked Shi Xiong: "Is this going to win?!" Shi Xiong was also surprised and asked Zhang Huayang beside him: "Brother Yang defeated him so quickly?" Zhang Huayang excitedly stretched out three fingers and laughed: "Three moves! Only three moves defeated the black man. What a powerful Yang family gun!" Wang Ben said regretfully: "It's a pity that we are just talking..."

Yang Hao picked up two copper hammers and prepared to return them to Yue Gu. As soon as the copper hammer was bought, he was secretly shocked: Each copper hammer was less than 30 kilograms. Yang Hao reached out to pull Yue Gu. This was a completely friendly move, but it caused Yue Gu's misunderstanding. He suddenly turned his hand and grabbed Yang Hao's wrist, pulled it hard into his arms, and took advantage of this force to rise up. His right hand pulled out a short knife from the tiger-head boot like lightning and stabbed Yang Hao under his ribs.

This series of movements was only in the blink of an eye. Only Zhu Qi, who was watching the battle around, could see clearly, and he could not shout and flew over. At the critical moment, Yang Hao was extremely calm. He suddenly bumped into Yue Gu and took advantage of his height to suddenly embraced him into his arms. Yue Gu did not expect that Yang Hao would not retreat but advance. Seeing his body pressing towards him like a mountain of meat, he felt panic. After a moment of hesitation, he twisted his right wrist and sealed his right arm in front of his chest with the momentum of his body.

Between sizes, victory or defeat has been decided. Except for a few masters, in the eyes of most people, Yang Hao and Yue Gu were hugging enthusiastically. The soldiers of the Tang army cheered for their head coach's tolerance and generosity, while the nobles of the Man Black Five Division were all stunned. The impatient Man Lao Hu had already jumped up, and was about to step forward but were pulled by his brother Man Lao Wen.

Yue Gu struggled violently for a few times, but felt that Yang Hao's arms were like iron hoops and he could not shake them at all.

Zhu Qi wanted to step forward and pull out Yue Gu's arm to show it to the public. The fight against generals is about kung fu, and the hidden arrows hurt people will naturally be despised by the world.

Yang Hao used his eyes to signal Zhu Qi not to act. While using his cloak to block the weapon in Yue Gu's hand, he slowly let go of his left hand. Yue Gu hurriedly hid the short knife, pushed Yang Hao with his chest, shook his right hand away, and retreated silently back to the formation. Zhu Qi glanced at Yang Hao, then looked at Yue Gu again, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on Scar's face.

Yue Gu was defeated, and the black men felt a gloomy face. Gu Lumang Yue’s leader Man Lao U looked very happy. He held Yue Gu’s hand and asked about his well-being, but Yue Gu was not grateful. He pushed his hand away and got into the crowd. After a while, there was no trace.

The black man turned his head and didn't feel depressed. In order to save his face, they sent Gudouli to fight in the second round. Zhu Qi was about to end, but someone behind him suddenly said, "Let me meet him." The Danjun Captain of the Leopard Camp, Yu Chongchong, came over with a pair of swords. The black nobleman saw Yu Chongchong standing on Yang Hao's side, and he didn't realize that everyone was disgraceful. The members whispered: "All Generals of Heaven have surrendered him, why are we fighting?" Old Man glared at everyone fiercely.

Yu Chongchong asked Guduoli: "Do you want to fight in the field or in the horse?" Guduoli lowered her head and was speechless. Old Man Wen suddenly stood up and walked to Yang Hao, bowed deeply and said, "One day General is here, we admit defeat."

The sound of joy suddenly erupted. A soldier who defeated others without fighting is more worthy of boasting than the victory obtained on the battlefield.

Man Lao Wen said to Yang Hao: "I would like to marry my niece Yue Gu to the Grand Marshal as his wife, hoping that the five Manhei tribes will become a generational favor with the Tang Dynasty." Everyone whispered: "Yue Gu turned out to be a woman."

Yang Hao knew that Yue Gu was a woman, but he never thought of marrying this woman with weird makeup as his wife, so he hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your kindness in the great ruler. I have already had a marriage contract and have already taken up a wife from the five-bedroom house. I dare not let the princess down."

Yue Gu stood up in the crowd and stared at Yang Hao with his eyes wide open, his chest rising and falling sharply. Old Man said angrily: "If you say something, you will not marry my daughter. If you refuse to marry my daughter, you will be the mortal enemy of my army. I swear in the name of immortality that Old Man Man would fight you to the end as long as he is alive!" After that, he pulled Yue Gu and left.

Jin Mili hurriedly stopped him and advised with a smile: "Military Yang did not say he would not marry your daughter, but he had already made a marriage contract, and was afraid of treating Princess Yuegu badly."

Man Lao said angrily, "He doesn't want to marry, but I don't want to marry?" He stretched out his hand and pushed Jin Mili away, but Yue Gu suddenly broke free from his hand and said hatefully, "Why can't I marry him if he doesn't marry? I insist on marrying him!" She walked to Yang Hao, pulled out a short knife from the tiger-head boots, and slashed it in her palm, letting blood flow drip, and said viciously: "If you don't marry me, I will die of blood, but I will kill you before I die."

Wang Ben shook his head and sighed, "The barbarian is a barbarian. If you don't give what he wants, he will fight with you; if you don't want what he gives, he will fight with you. It's simply unreasonable." Shi Xiong also shook his head and sighed, "This time I've been suffering for my third brother."

Yang Hao and Yue Gu looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly turned to Yu Yanlu. Zhu Qi said, "Prepare the betrothal gift quickly, I want to marry Princess Yue Gu!" Before everyone could understand, he suddenly bowed and carried Princess Yue Gu on his shoulders...
