He opened the jars of fine wine in front of everyone.
He could clearly feel that those soldiers were beginning to reveal greedy looks and drool.
As expected, they were greedy.
Drinking is not allowed in the army. We are all men. Who doesn’t want to get drunk before the war begins?
But, who can drink just a few jars of wine?
"This general only brought a few jars of fine wine, but we have tens of thousands of soldiers. I'm afraid this amount of wine is not enough for each of us to sip.
Therefore, this general has decided to pour all of this wine into this lake, so that we can drink from it together, and consider it as a celebratory drink in advance!"
After he finished speaking, Huo Qubing poured the wine into the lake himself under the gaze of all the soldiers.
The soldiers came to the lake and lined up in a row.
A cook distributed bowls to each soldier.
After traveling thousands of miles and stepping across half of Japan, they deserve to drink such fine wine!
Huo Qubing loved wine and would always bring a few jars of fine wine with him even when he was on a campaign.
But today, he poured all the wine into the lake, just to share it with his soldiers!
"Soldiers, let this vast expanse of water record our glory! Let the land we stand on bear witness to our bravery!"
Huo Qubing slowly squatted down, scooped up a bowl of wine, turned around, and his eyes gradually fell on each soldier.
After a moment, he raised the glass of wine in his hand high and said loudly, "This bowl of wine is for you heroes, and even more so for the spirits of those who died in battle! Brothers, cheers!"
Having said that, the soldiers all took action and scooped up a bowl of lake water with a faint smell of alcohol or even no smell at all.
But they felt that this bowl of wine was the most intoxicating and sweetest drink they had ever tasted in their lives.
"Dry!"
The soldiers spoke one after another.
And an amazing scene happened. The war horses seemed to be able to understand human language at this moment. They lowered their heads and drank the lake water.
After drinking the wine, the soldiers burst into laughter.
The sound of horse hooves.
Huo Qubing said loudly: "Brothers, thirty miles ahead is the capital of the Japanese pirates!
What we have to do today is to conquer the Japanese capital and capture the Japanese emperor alive to commemorate the martyrs of the Qin Dynasty who have died at the hands of the Japanese pirates!
Today's battle is destined to go down in history. This general will ride with you to Tokyo to revive the glory of China!"
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers picked up their weapons, put on their armor again, and spoke one after another:
"Horse tramples Tokyo!"
"Capture the Japanese Emperor alive!"
"Horse tramples Tokyo!"
“…”
Life or death depends on this battle!
Chinese men will fight to the death!
Even Huo Qubing had not expected that this unintentional action today would become the famous "Drinking Horses in the Japanese Sea" in later generations!
And the true beginning of Huo Qubing's fame in history started from here.
Horses trample Tokyo!
Achieve the lifelong reputation of Champion Hou!
