Chapter 53: Hou Biao concludes a good relationship
At this time, the remnants of Yuan Cheng's defeated army had returned to Luoyang.
Emperor Xuanwu of Wei Yuan Ke scolded: "King Rencheng, aren't you very brave and good at fighting? was actually beaten by Chen Qingzhi's 20,000 people and lost their armor, and lost their soldiers? What level are you? ”
"Your Majesty, I beg you to seize the throne of Wechen." Rencheng Wang Yuancheng cried.
"Really? Yuan Cheng. Why can't you even beat a scholar like Chen Qingzhi? Emperor Xuanwu scolded.
"Your Majesty, I said it a long time ago. Chen Qingzhi is not an idle person. He has Wen Taowu strategy. Chen Qingzhi is not a scholar who is powerless. His martial arts are not low. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng cried.
"Okay. I will strip you of your throne and make you a duke. You continue to lead the troops. Hopefully, you can defeat Chen Qingzhi in the future. Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke said with a smile.
At the same time, the soldiers in Luoyang City were also glad that they could survive.
"It's finally back. Chen Qingzhi is terrible. Wei soldier A said.
"Terrible? Chen Qingzhi is not a famous general. I heard that he was just the one who carried Xiao Yan's shoes. How can such a lowly person lead troops so powerful? He actually defeated our His Royal Highness the King of Rencheng. Wei soldier B asked.
"Don't you know? Chen Qingzhi is Xiao Yan's righteous son. Moreover, he has followed Xiao Yan since he was a child. Playing Go can always win Xiao Yan. Such a person is simply the reincarnation of Han Shin. It's our misfortune that we met him. Wei soldier A said.
"Really? Chen Qingzhi is indeed a talent. Let's go home and farm. It's too dangerous to fight. Wei soldier B said.
In the Luoyang barracks, General Gao Shusheng, who returned from the front line, was also complaining to his friend Hou Biao.
They ate roast chicken and drank Shanxi Fenjiu in the tent.
Gao Shusheng gobbled up chicken legs.
"Lao Gao, what's wrong with you?" Captain Hou Biao asked.
"Not much. I just feel so lucky this time. was not killed by Chen Qingzhi's Yongzhou army. General Gao Shusheng said.
"Chen Qingzhi? Which family in Jiangnan? Captain Hou Biao asked.
"Old Hou. Fortunately, this time, we didn't go to Gangnam. Chen Qingzhi is good at fighting. General Gao Shusheng said.
"Chen Qingzhi? Which general? I've never heard of him. Hou Biao said.
"He is the scholar of Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou." Gao Shusheng said helplessly.
"What you said, are you the one who usually accompanies Xiao Yan to play chess?" Hou Biao asked.
"Captain Hou, I'm talking about him. Now, you're not too young. Shouldn't you be looking for a family business? Gao Shusheng asked.
"Don't you need it? Lao Gao, I'm used to being alone. Hou Biao prevaricated.
He thought to himself: I have always been a loner, and I am only a lieutenant, and I have no money. I'm afraid I don't have the money to start a family!
"I think you're getting older, too. My son Gao Huan is five years old. but you have not yet taken a wife. General Gao Shusheng said.
"Big Brother Gao Shusheng. You are my sworn brother. Now that you've said it, too. Then I won't shirk it. Do you have a candidate? Hou Biao asked.
"Yes. It's the girl from our Huaishuo Town. It is also the home of the military. Natives, you should have a common language. General Gao Shusheng said.
"Okay." Hou Biao said.
A few days later, Hou Biao met Cui Yu.
"Miss Cui, this is Captain Hou. He is strong in martial arts and proficient in eighteen martial arts. General Gao Shusheng introduced.
When Cui Yu looked at Hou Biao, he almost didn't spit it out, thinking: Why is Captain Hou so hateful. No wonder the captain didn't marry a wife.
"Not bad. Captain Hou is really a talent! Cui Yu said.
General Gao Shusheng thought to himself: Why do I think there is something wrong with Cui Yu? Hou Biao is so ugly, he actually says that he is a talent? Is she greedy for Hou Biao's money?
"Where? Where? I'm not good-looking. So I'm old and haven't married a wife yet. It's not like that, I'm afraid I already have a son. My sworn brother, General Gao Shusheng, joined the army in the same year as him, and his son Gao Huan is five years old. Hou Biao said.
"Captain, you don't have to be modest. You've been through a lot of battles, too. You're also a captain with thirty acres of land. Cui Yu smiled.
Hou Biao thought to himself: Miss Cui is good-looking!
Half a month later, Hou Biao, Gao Shusheng and their entourage returned to their hometown in Huaishuo Town.
"Now, His Majesty the Emperor of Wei has made a temporary truce. You and Miss Cui can have a happy event. General Gao Shusheng said with a smile.
"Do you need to be in such a hurry?" Hou Biao asked.
"Yes. Because, Xiao Yan has recently defeated Zhang Chong's Yingzhou army, and Yingzhou will be conquered in a few days. Once Yingzhou is conquered, Xiao Yan can go downstream, occupy Jiangzhou, and approach Jiankang City. Xiao Baojuan was bound to be killed by Xiao Yan. Once Xiao Yan seizes the throne of Qi, do you think he won't go on a northern expedition? General Gao Shusheng said with a smile.
"Brother Gao's analysis is very reasonable. Indeed, if it continues. Xiao Yan will inevitably be able to eliminate Xiao Baojuan. If I were Your Majesty, I would definitely let the Wei army destroy Xiao Yan. Otherwise, once Xiao Yan became the emperor of the Qi State. I'm afraid that our Wei country will not be peaceful. Hou Biao worried.
He thought to himself: We should indeed cherish the days of peace. It's really not peaceful today! Good days are always short-lived. Your Majesty is now in the confrontation between the south and the north, and the people are enduring the pain of war.
"You're right. I'm looking forward to drinking your wine as soon as possible! General Gao Shusheng said with a smile.
"Really? All right. I will also have a wedding sooner rather than later. I hope that in the future, our Hou family will be able to be friendly with your Gao family for generations. Hou Biao said with a smile.
Neither Gao Shusheng nor Hou Biao knew that their descendants would become megatrons in the future.
All the people of the world will know the names of their children.
Hou Biao and Cui Yu held a wedding in Huaishuo Town.
Gao Shusheng brought his son Gao Huan to drink the wedding wine.
"Little nephew Gao Huan pays a visit to Uncle Hou." Gao Huan saluted.
"Not bad. Gao Shusheng. You're a good son. It looks like he's smart! Hou Biao touched Gao Huan's head and said with a smile.
The Great Situ Lou Neigan of the Wei State also came.
Hou Biao said: "Lord Situ can come to my wedding." I feel so honored. ”
Lou Neigan said to Hou Biao: "Where, where." You are the special forces of our Wei State. You have made great contributions to our Wei country many times. Your Majesty will not forget your deeds. It's a pity that you're not from a noble family. Otherwise, you would have been a general long ago. ”
"Nope. The little talent is mediocre. There is no talent. The villain heard that you have also loved your daughter Lou Zhaojun recently. Congratulations, congratulations. Hou Biao said with a smile.
"No, we are all working for the imperial court. There is no distinction between high and low. You shouldn't be presumptuous. Lou Nei laughed dryly.
