The great victory at Shuofang caught the Liao Kingdom off guard.
Soon spies arrived.
However, they all went back soon.
More than 200,000 main forces were annihilated.
This was an extremely heavy blow to the Liao Kingdom.
Even if they still have the strength to spare, how can they attack the city?
Dafeng is waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, no matter how many come, they will all die!
Bonfires were burning in the city.
The soldiers were all celebrating.
And Ning Que became the most popular person.
Countless people came forward to clink glasses with him and toast him.
Even if he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, he couldn't handle so many people.
"Your Majesty, please say a few words to us!"
"yes!"
"This victory is all thanks to the prince!"
Ning Que had no choice but to step forward.
The excited soldiers quieted down instantly.
"Let me correct one thing first."
"This time, we can win, not just by me."
"It is also inseparable from the bloody battles of all the soldiers!"
"The soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the siege are the real heroes!"
"This glass of wine is for all the heroes who sacrificed their lives!"
"good!!!"
Everyone applauded loudly.
Feng Wuzhe held the wine bowl and watched quietly.
Ning Que is a very charming commander.
Just like the old King Ning in the past.
Old King Ning likes to curse people.
The third guard does the most and most tiring work.
Wherever there is a disaster, King Ning goes there.
The locals will prepare food and drink to welcome the royal army.
But in the army, no one dared to disrespect the Three Guards.
They will all straighten their spines.
Whenever there is a war, they are always at the forefront.
It can be said that all this is because of the old King Ning.
Ning Que poured the wine onto the ground.
"This land has been our Dafeng territory since ancient times."
"We must defend our ancestral land to the death and not give an inch to anyone else!"
"Now, we have it back!"
“You all are great!”
"They are all the most outstanding warriors of Dafeng!"
"This glass of wine, I toast to you!"
Ning Que picked up the pottery bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The soldiers also drank.
"Dafeng paid a heavy price for this siege. Therefore, we will still rely on you to defend Shuofang in the future. You have defended the border for Dafeng, and Dafeng will never forget you!"
"Great Feng, long live!"
"Great Feng, long live!"
“…”
"Keep on playing, keep on dancing!"
“Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink!”
Ning Que smiled, raised his hand and sat back.
What he said was not just polite talk.
Dafeng has always been a martial country and its military expenditure is quite high.
When Emperor Feng wanted to build the imperial palace, Ouyang Zheng scolded him. Although it only cost 300,000 taels of silver, why not use it for military expenses?
Look at those soldiers guarding the border?
Who did they sacrifice for?!
Building a palace as soon as he came to power!
Just wait for the money as compensation in the future!
You know, there are quite a few people like Ouyang Zheng.
Each of them has a head harder than iron.
Emperor Feng wanted to expand military spending, and no one objected.
But if he wants to build a garden, he'll be in trouble!
Civil officials and military generals could just point at his nose and scold him!
Seeing them celebrating, Ning Que turned and walked towards the General's Mansion. After recovering from his serious injuries, he had devoted himself entirely to Shuofang. It was only after leading troops in battle that he realized how exhausting it was to fight a large army!
More than 200,000 people...
It's not easy to command them all.
Not to mention that this time it was an extremely difficult siege.
Now I am exhausted both mentally and physically!
"Drinking again?"
"We'll definitely have to drink to celebrate our victory."
"I'll make you a bowl of vegetarian noodles."
Shen Qinghe knew Ning Que hadn't eaten much in the past few days, so she got up and started working. A moment later, she brought a bowl of steaming vegetarian noodles in clear soup. It was topped with a poached egg and two crispy greens.
“Mmm, delicious!”
“It’s been this way for so many years.”
Ning Que ate with a slurp.
Shen Qinghe supported his chin with both hands.
Just watch him wolf down the food quietly.
This happened often when we were in Kunlun Mountains.
Ning Que had a big appetite at that time and was always hungry.
Shen Qinghe gave him special treatment.
I often make him a bowl of noodles at night.
Either beat an egg or add some meat.
"Has Lin Xianhong ever given you face?"
“…”
“Cough cough cough!”
Ning Que suddenly started coughing.
Shen Qinghe handed over the handkerchief.
"Why did you mention her suddenly?"
"Just curious."
"No, never."
Ning Que drank all the noodle soup and said with a smile, "Actually, Lin Xianhong is quite a good match for Gu Yuan. She's just as conceited as Gu Yuan. Back then, she was rarely at the mansion, mostly studying medicine with Uncle Chang. She wasn't in a good mood after returning home."
"She's really blind."
"Um."
Ning Que smiled and nodded.
If you really think about it, it can't be entirely blamed on Lin Xianhong.
At that time, Ning Que thought what his mother said made sense.
He is willing to be an ordinary person first.
It is also a good time to observe Emperor Feng.
As far as he saw it, there was actually nothing wrong with obeying the emperor.
Considering what Samuel said, Ning Que was more inclined to believe that it was done by a king of the opposite sex, possibly the King of Qi or the King of Chu.
As for the Gu family?
It may be related, or it may be the scapegoat.
"Gu Yuan's story has spread."
"There won't be any more trouble in the future."
"Isn't that great?"
Ning Que laughed.
In fact, he was able to save Gu Yuan when he got the news.
However, he chose to save Song Ci and others.
