"I just said to the eldest son, since it is a celebration of the merits, of course the more people, the better." Yang Fu replied: "I plan to allocate some food from the treasury to celebrate the merits of the soldiers of the three armies, and to celebrate the merits of the eldest son and the generals."

"If we only invite the eldest son and us, it is absolutely unnecessary." Jiang Wei said: "It is the eldest son and our duty to lead the army to defeat the Jie people. But if we invite the banquet together with the soldiers of the three armies, I think it is feasible."

He said to Cao Heng: "The eldest son is clear and the soldiers have won today. We should celebrate their contributions. Since the governor Yang is determined to do this, please do not refuse."

"What do you think of Bo Yan?" Cao Heng looked at Lu Xun again.

After arguing with Jiang Wei for a long time, the conflict between Lu Xun and him was only concentrated in Cao Heng's body.

Speaking of holding a banquet to celebrate the soldiers, Lu Xun and Jiang Wei's views were nothing different.

He said to Cao Heng: "Reply to the eldest son, I have similar views on Boyue. Since governor Yang is willing to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers, why should he refuse his kindness?"

Both of them were persuading Cao Heng to agree to celebrate the commendation, and Yang Fu's eyes were filled with anticipation.

He looked at Cao Heng, afraid that he would refuse the proposal.

After hearing what Jiang Wei and Lu Xun said, Cao Heng nodded and said, "Since both Boyue and Bo Yan think it is feasible, if I reject the kindness of governor Yang again, wouldn't I not understand the worldly ways?"

He said to Yang Fu: "President Yang will also prepare. Tonight, I will celebrate the merits with the soldiers."

"Thank you, the eldest son, for your accomplishment." After receiving Cao Heng's approval, Yang Fu bowed and bowed and then left, preparing to celebrate the achievements of the army.

Watching Yang Fu leave, Cao Heng asked Jiang Wei and Lu Xun: "Boyou, did Boyan see the fight just now?"

"See it." Jiang Wei replied: "The eldest son is extremely brave and not ordinary people. Bo Yan and I were also excited to see it. We wish we could immediately rush out of the pass and follow the eldest son to kill the enemy."

"I told you that when there are no outsiders, just call me a good word." Cao Heng said to everyone: "We have come all the way, not only the soldiers, but also you have been tormented. Tonight, I will drink more with you by taking advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the achievements."

"The eldest son is not planning to chase the Jie people as soon as possible?" Lu Xun asked.

"Of course there is such a plan." Cao Heng said: "But I plan to let the soldiers take a good rest and then pursue the enemy. Boyue told me earlier that the soldiers were too tired and would not be able to do their best on the battlefield. I thought that it really makes sense. Since we have won a big victory today, why bother chasing the Jie people earlier or later? Instead of leaving the seclusion immediately and letting the soldiers exhaust their physical and mental strength, it is better to press the pursuit back first, take advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the achievements and have a good rest first, and wait until the fatigue is relieved, and then go with me to go to war."

Jiang Wei, Lu Xun and others glanced at each other, and Jiang Wei said, "The soldiers must be grateful for the benefits of having such thoughts. Since we have made a decision, we will accompany the eldest son tonight without getting drunk!"

************************************************

Cao Heng brought 55,000 soldiers.

In the previous fight, the Jie people suffered huge losses, and the soldiers he led were unprepared for attack, with only hundreds of injuries and no deaths.

He killed three or four thousand Jie people at the cost of no death. Although his achievements were much worse when he guarded Yanmen Pass earlier, he still greatly encouraged the military and civilians of Yanmen Pass.

Yang Fu transferred a lot of meat and wine from the treasury. That night, the banquet was held in the open space in Yanmen Pass.

Not only the soldiers brought by Cao Shu, but also the soldiers who had guarded Yanmen Pass and the people who had once cooperated in defense.

The open space was filled with bonfires, and next to each bonfire, there were more than a dozen people sitting around talking.

The soldiers and civilians of Yanmen Pass certainly praised Cao Heng.

The soldiers who followed him to fight a battle and won a great victory also recognized Cao Heng's leadership ability.

Everyone was praising Cao Heng. Even those who like to brag on weekdays gave up bragging themselves and gave all the praise to Cao Heng.

Along a bonfire not far from the pass, Cao Heng and the generals sat in a circle, while Yang Fu was by his side.

"The eldest son has now had a high status in the minds of the soldiers and the people." Yang Fu said to Cao Heng: "When I was guarding Yanmen Pass, I often heard soldiers and the people talking about it. If the eldest son was guarding the gate instead of me, the Jie people would never dare to invade easily. Even if they came, they would not get any benefits every time, and they could only escape in shame."

"The soldiers and the people trust me too much." Cao Heng smiled indifferently and said to Yang Fu: "In fact, governor Yang doesn't have to take care of what they say. When people blindly worship some people, they always think that these people can do everything. In fact, how much ability do I have, isn't Yang still clear?"

"Clear, of course," Yang Fu replied: "Since I recognized the eldest son, I have never seen the young master lead the army lose. Of course, I know the young master's ability."

Cao Heng originally wanted Yang Fu to say something more objectively, but he didn't expect that he would say something like this.

But after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Yang Fu said.

Since Yang Fu recognized him, he has never lost a single battle.

Under such circumstances, can he still expect Yang Fu to say something so-called "objective"?

"Forget it." Cao Heng waved his hand with a smile: "I don't think that governor Yang can say anything unique. If you want to summarize some experiences and lessons from you, you should not expect it."

"Of course I can summarize the experience and lessons from the eldest son." Yang Fu said seriously: "With the eldest son leading the army to guard the pass, my previous method of guarding the pass was extremely wrong and there was no advantage at all. I recalled it, and it was true that the eldest son knew better how to use troops."

Yang Fu said that he had summed up his experience and lessons, but in fact he clearly flattered Cao Heng.

Not only did Cao Heng say a black line, but Jiang Wei and others looked at each other, feeling that they couldn't get in.

"Several generals came to Yanmen Pass this time, and they probably didn't bring Mei Ji's maid." Cao Heng was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. Yang Fu changed the subject and asked Jiang Wei and others.

"We are here to fight. What are we doing with the maid Meiji?" Cao Heng asked angrily.

"War is necessary, but how can men lose women?" Yang Fu said: "On the battlefield, weapons must penetrate the enemy's body, and in the room, men must also stab the weapons into the woman's body."

"Governor Yang." Cao Heng quickly interrupted him: "I haven't seen you for many days, and you are talking less and less like you."

"I always speak like this." Yang Fu clasped his fists and said to Cao Heng: "The eldest son and the generals did not bring the maids of beautiful girls. My family has raised some of them. I have never been involved in those beautiful girls. How about giving each general tonight?"

"I don't need it anymore." Jiang Wei replied: "It's just a beautiful girl, we don't lack it on weekdays. If the battle is delayed because of a woman, it will really cause a lot of trouble."

Other generals also refused.

Originally, he planned to use the gift to Mei Ji and then bring his relationship closer to Cao Heng and the generals, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected at once, and Yang Fu was somewhat disappointed.

But he did not give up, but said to the generals: "A woman is indispensable around men at any time, especially the soldiers should still need to be repaired. Taking advantage of these days, if the generals don't have a good time for a few days, once they get outside the pass, only the beautiful Jie people can enjoy it."

Jiang Wei and others grinned awkwardly.

Cao Heng said: "What Governor Yang said is indeed nothing wrong. You may as well leave a beautiful girl next to the beauty."

"I will also send one to the eldest son." Yang Fu said to Cao Heng: "After these beautiful young masters and generals enjoy the service, when the army wins and returns, I will let them return to Luoyang with them."

Yang Fu gave so many beautiful girls at one time, Cao Heng asked in confusion: "Governor Yang, how many beautiful girls do you have in your family? Why do I feel like I will never be exhausted at any time?"

"This time I've sent it, it's probably all." Yang Fu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Who doesn't raise some beautiful girls in this life? I just used to collect some, and I don't have the chance to get involved in it in the back house. Instead of raising them, it's better to give it to the eldest son and generals."

While talking to Yang Fu, Cao Heng deliberately observed the generals' reactions.

Although each general did not express anything in particular, they did not express their unwillingness to ask those beautiful girls to accompany them.

It can be seen that men are born with primitive desire for women.

When you have a beautiful woman, few men are really willing to refuse...

Everyone surrounded the bonfire, and a small table was placed in front of each of them.

Some servants delivered wine, drinks and delicacies.

Since Cao Shu changed his cooking skills at Lingyun Pavilion, the food styles have long been different from those in the past.

There were not many delicious food items on the low table, and Cao Heng and others only put three or four dishes in front of them.

As for the soldiers, the food placed in front of them is much simpler.

The small table in front of the soldiers was just a meat, a vegetable and a small jar of fine wine.

Everyone doesn’t get much, but the total cost is quite large.

Tens of thousands of people attended the banquet. Cao Heng estimated that the dishes and wine he invested were enough to feed the army for more than ten days.

"Governor Yang has invested a lot this time." He picked up the table of wine and Cao Heng said: "I thanked Governor Yang for his reward on behalf of the soldiers."

"I dare not, I dare not!" Yang Fu quickly picked up the wine glass: "If it weren't for the eldest son and the soldiers, the Jie people would have probably broken through Yanmen Pass. Not to mention that they just opened the local treasury to entertain like this, if I could have received it myself, I would be willing to even lose everything."

"I know the governor is honest." Cao Heng said: "I'll do this first, and I'll talk about other things later."

Yang Fu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Cao Heng said to the generals again: "All the generals, the victory in the first battle is inseparable from your kindness and kindness. I respect you all!"

The generals also picked up the wine glasses and drank the wine with Cao Heng.

After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Heng said to everyone: "We will talk about beauty wine later. I want to talk to you about what to do next."

Yang Fu and others' eyes fell on his face, and everyone's face showed solemnity.

Cao Shu and others had already started the show, and the military and civilians who attended the banquet then exchanged cups and chatted with each other and started the banquet.

Cao Heng glanced around Yang Fu and the generals' faces and said to them: "You should be very clear, what is the purpose of our visit to Yanmen Pass this time. We were not for the Meiji who was sent to the room by the governor Yang, nor did we know that it was to repel the Jie people. We came to Yanmen Pass this time to erase the Jie people completely from the world so that they can never be enemies with us again."

No one responded, and everyone was waiting for Cao Heng to continue talking.

Cao Heng continued: "Since we want to erase the Jie people from the world, the first thing we need to understand is how many Jie people are there and where they are distributed. Once we leave the customs, the Jie people we meet will be a large army of crowds or a scattered tribe. If we don't understand any problem, what is waiting for us may be a catastrophe."

The generals nodded one after another, and Cao Heng looked at Yang Fu: "I wonder if you have ever sent a visit to investigate the movements of the people in the Kazakhs this time?"

"Report to the eldest son, the scouts were sent out. Since the Jie people called them, I have taken them back." Yang Fu replied: "If the eldest son needs it, I will send the scouts out later."

"Don't end later. Governor Yang must send scouts out to inquire about the enemy's situation for the army." Cao Heng said: "It is said that knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. It's okay for us to guard the pass. Once the army opens out of Yanmen Pass, if you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out."

"I understand." Yang Fu replied: "After the banquet, I will send the scouts first, and then I will send Meiji to the eldest son and the generals' rooms."

Yang Fu still didn't forget to give them beautiful girls, and Cao Heng couldn't help feeling speechless.

Ignoring Mei Ji's affairs, he said to Yang Fu: "The scout's affairs depend on Governor Yang."

"The eldest son." Cao Heng mentioned that he was about to come out of seclusion to attack the Jie people. Jiang Wei asked: "If we defeat the Jie people tribe, should we restrain the soldiers and those who should not be killed?"

"There is nothing that cannot be killed in Jie people." Cao Heng replied: "Men, women, young and old are not allowed to stay."

"Earlier, the eldest son brought the Jie people's beauties back to the pass, and many people were waiting to buy them." Yang Fu interrupted: "If I could bring their beauties back while destroying the Jie people, I should be able to earn a lot of benefits for the eldest son."

Cao Heng thought for a while and said to the generals: "Generals might as well tell the soldiers that they should keep the Jie people beauties. For all Jie people tribes, girls can stay and boys can be eliminated together with others."

"We all understand." The generals responded one after another.
