After a long performance of singing and dancing, Han Sui finally took the opportunity to ask his question.
"I am but an unknown soldier from Xiliang. It is thanks to the Duke of Qin's high regard for me and his acceptance of my surrender that I have been able to achieve such great merit. This cup of wine is my toast to the Duke of Qin!"
"What are you saying? Come, let's all drink this cup to the brim!"
"Wow! Ah, Brother Yang, the wine here from Lord Qin is really strong!"
"..."
"General Shoucheng and General Yang Qiu want this kind of wine? Men, prepare the fine wine and send one hundred jars to each of the three of you!"
"We thank Lord Qin!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Han Sui got straight to the point.
"Lord Qin, you just said... there's another war? We've just pacified the capital and Liangzhou, there shouldn't be any war now. If there's anything you need from me, please let me know. I'll serve you faithfully, even unto death!"
"...?"
The other two looked at Zhao Hao with expressions of sudden realization.
They then realized the hidden meaning in Zhao Hao's words.
"There's no need for the three of you to do this. It's just that your official positions are still undecided and a conclusion can only be reached at court tomorrow."
However, this person wasn't joking; there is indeed a battle currently underway that requires the use of all three.
Zhao Hao paused for a moment, then gestured to his servants to bring up the letters requesting assistance.
The three generals then read it through the book and immediately understood.
"Lord Qin, we are willing to fight in your place and wipe out these rebellious traitors, returning home wrapped in our horses' hides!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "This matter is still in its early stages, so there's no need to rush it."
However, you are all capable generals of Xiliang, and I intend to get close to you three.
I know that both General Han and General Ma have sons and daughters.
But what is the situation at General Yang's home?
Yang Qiu lowered his head and replied in a deep voice with his hands clasped in a respectful gesture.
"Lord Qin, Qiu comes from a poor family. His parents died early, and now he only has an elderly grandmother who is unmarried and has no children."
Zhao Hao nodded. "In that case... General Yang, I have a sworn sister named Lü Zhu. I wonder if the General would be willing to marry her..."
Yang Qiu was initially resistant, but upon hearing the name Green Pearl, he immediately changed his attitude.
"I will never forget Lord Qin's kindness! I have long heard of the legendary life of Miss Green Pearl, and she is a perfect match for me. Lord Qin does not mind my humble status and is willing to marry his younger sister to me. How could I dare to refuse?"
"Haha, General Yang Qiu, please don't be like that. Now that you know about my sworn sister, things are much simpler."
That's settled then. We can discuss the details further later.
Zhao Hao turned to look at Ma Teng and Han Sui, "Gentlemen, I have heard that the Ma family has a daughter named Yunlu. I have a cousin named Zhao Yun, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and would be a good match for you."
The Han family also had a daughter named Han Qiuyue, who was quite talented. Her cousin, Zhao Hu, who was also Zhao Yun's brother, was also a good match for her.
What do you two think?
"We all obey Duke Qin's orders and dare not disobey!"
