Chapter 277: Arrogant and Domineering Soldiers and Generals

brush!

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Uncle Guo Liu Ziyu.

Obviously, in the eyes of everyone, Liu Ziyu, who was the sworn brother of the current queen and the general who commanded the sixteen states of Youyun, would definitely be among the six candidates for the Tang Dynasty.

Youzhou garrison general Xiong Kai immediately stood up and said: "What Mr. Su said is absolutely true. The last general also believes that Uncle Guo must be ranked among the Six Dukes of the Tang Dynasty, and he should be the head of the Six Dukes!"

With that said, Xiong Kai began to count Liu Ziyu's achievements in detail in front of everyone.

Xiong Kai said: "In terms of qualifications, Uncle Guo was the first general in the previous dynasty to lead his troops to raise troops and declare allegiance to the emperor;"

"In terms of military exploits, when my uncle Guo was stationed in Wuzhou City, he secretly assisted the emperor in leading his elite cavalry to attack thousands of miles, from Mobei to Wuzhou, and then took the earthen fortress. In one battle, the world was decided, and the former tyrant Zhao Qian was killed. The captives committed suicide and hastened the demise of the new dynasty;"

"Longcheng's Deputy Marshal Chang Yuchun was able to seize thirteen of Youyun's sixteen states without a single blow. In addition to King Wu Ning's mediation, I also made great contributions;"

As he spoke, Xiong Kai raised two fingers and said with an air of dignity: "These two military exploits alone are enough to rank Uncle Guo among the Six Dukes of the Tang Dynasty;"

"What's more, when my uncle Guo divided his troops in Zhuozhou, as the deputy general of Longcheng's southern expedition, he led an army of 150,000 to Kaifeng Mansion, and hit the north bank of the Yangtze River outside Jinling City with overwhelming force."

"In addition, our founding empress of the Tang Dynasty is the sworn sister of the uncle of the country. The uncle of the country is ranked first among the six princes of the Tang Dynasty. Who dares to say no?"

"that is--"

"My uncle has been granted the title of Duke, ranking first among the Six Dukes of the Tang Dynasty. Only then can he convince the public!"

"Yes, except Uncle Guo, the rest of them don't care whether he is Chang Yuchun or Chen Qingzhi. If they can be ranked first among the six princes, they will be the first to refuse!"

Xiong Kai's words immediately attracted the attention of many generals.

Most of these generals from the Sixteenth Youyun Prefecture were Liu Ziyu's confidants. After completing the southern expedition, Liu Ziyu was transferred back to the Sixteenth Youyun Prefecture to serve as garrison generals guarding one side.

In addition, the superficial nostalgia between these generals and Liu Ziyu made this group of arrogant generals dissatisfied with no one except Liu Ziyu among the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say!"

At this time, Liu Ziyu, who had been blown away by everyone's rainbow farts, finally stood up staggeringly with the help of the two singers.

His eyes were red from drinking, and while he was burping, he said loudly: "I, Liu Ziyu, have made it this far, can I be named the Duke of the Tang Dynasty?"

"To be honest, I really don't care at all!"

"The thing that keeps me alive until now is not chasing fame and fortune at all, but for the soldiers of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures who died on the battlefield. That's why I insist on surviving in this world;"

As he said that, Liu Ziyu also started to count his hands and said: "To be honest, in order to fight for the emperor, I, Liu Ziyu, have seventeen adopted sons and nephews who died on the battlefield."

"In the battle of Kaifeng Mansion alone, I killed seven adopted sons!"

Speaking of the emotional part, Liu Ziyu's eyes turned red and tears rolled in his eyes. He continued: "They are all great young men who stand upright, and they are all Youyun people of flesh and blood;"

"It was their bravery and fearless performance on the battlefield that brought me, Liu Ziyu, where I am today;"

"As long as I live in this world, I have to find a way out for their family members and widows!"

"Uncle Guo is righteous!"

"General's justice!"

Hearing this, the civil servants headed by Liangjiang Governor Su Chen and the generals headed by Youzhou garrison general Xiong Kai stood up and raised their wine glasses to toast Liu Ziyu.

Seeing this, Liu Ziyu also raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Come, drink this glass of wine for the brothers who died in the battle!"

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

Under the leadership of Liu Ziyu, everyone drank wine together.

At this point, tonight's first drinking game between the northern and southern civil servants and generals groups since the founding of the Tang Dynasty has finally come to an end.

After the flower boat docked, Su Chen's personal soldiers Qianhu were considerate and arranged brothel girls to accompany the generals and officials on the boat.

Uncle Liu Ziyu also brought two charming brothel girls back to the inn where they were staying.

It wasn't until everyone got off the boat that the owner of the chartered flower boat and the madam from the nearby brothel approached Su Chen's personal soldier Qian Hu with smiles on their faces and said cautiously:

"Master Jun, the total amount of silver you have chartered tonight is two hundred taels. Master Jun, look at -"

The old bustard also held an orchid finger and came forward and said: "Master Jun, all twenty-seven girls in our Yichun Courtyard have been summoned by Mr. Jun. This is a total of three hundred taels of silver. I'd rather bother Mr. Jun——"

"roll roll roll!"

Unexpectedly, Qianhu, the private soldier who was smiling at the generals and officials one second and watching everyone leave, changed his face in the next second and said viciously to the captain and the bustard directly: "Why don't you have any eyesight?"

"Do you know who was sitting on this boat just now?"

The private soldier Qianhu Hu said sternly: "I'm telling you, I can scare you to death by just saying any name. You still want money?"

"I tell you, it's your blessing that the military master likes you. If you are blind and offend the military master, do you still want to stay in Qinhuai River and Jinling City?"

After saying that, the personal soldier pushed the two men impatiently and pretended to leave.

However, how could the ship owner and the madam let him go?

The two men, one in front and one behind, held the captain's hand tightly and begged in a crying voice: "Sir, we are a small business and can't afford such a toss!"

The madam cried and said: "Sir, the girls in my Yichunyuan earn their money through hard work, you can't be so unreasonable!"

"Sir, you are so generous, please help us!"

"Sir--"

"Get out--"

The captain whose sleeve was pulled was completely angry, and he pushed the two unarmed men to the ground, shouting: "You are deliberately making things difficult for me, right? You want to die, right?"

The ship owner and the madam couldn't get the money, so they were naturally unwilling to give up. After falling to the ground, they hugged the captain's legs.

This time, the captain was really annoyed!

He drew out his saber and placed the blade on the ship owner's neck. He said with a ferocious expression and a fierce tone, "If you don't let go, I'll chop you off with one blow!"

"Stop!"
