Chapter 277 The two armies perform martial arts
Men's banquets have always been unique from ancient times to the present, and the characteristic is the special color.
Anyway, there are no women at the banquet, so all kinds of dirty topics come up. Men especially like to brag in this regard. Whenever it comes to bed matters, a three-hundred-round battle is the basic standard, and the ten women of the Night Royal Family brag even more shamelessly.
Change color.
No matter how humble a man is, he will behave like an emperor when he is surrounded by men. Women all over the world are his food, and he is still calm and full of self-confidence.
However, scientists have concluded that the average male sex time is only a few minutes. It is impossible for normal men to admit it. No matter what their true situation is, they will always say it is impossible to the outside world and call it pseudoscience. What follows is self-bragging.
The process of self-delay…
Even a virgin like Gu Qing had never boasted like this in his previous life.
It is a common problem for men that other things can be treated maturely, except for the bed linen, which is a red line and cannot be touched. Like the psoriasis advertisement on the telephone pole, no matter how low it looks, it must be blown up to the sky, thus attracting people of the same gender.
Envy and jealousy, in order to gain that pitiful sense of vanity.
Tonight, Gu Qing had originally prepared a few dirty jokes from his past life to adjust the atmosphere, but after Bian Lingcheng arrived, Gu Qing had to decisively give up those dirty jokes.
Telling dirty jokes in front of the eunuch is no different from slapping someone in the face. No matter how unkind Gu Qing is, he cannot do such a thing.
I just don't know what Bian Lingcheng is thinking at the moment. Doesn't he understand that having to do this kind of purely men's night banquet is like a group of eunuchs going to a brothel?
Bian Lingcheng sat down calmly, his small eyes blinking and glancing across the faces of the generals present one by one, with an unknown smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Master Hou, why don't you see Gao Jieshuai today?" Bian Lingcheng suddenly asked with a smile.
The Anxi generals also looked at Gu Qing. Bian Lingcheng asked what they wanted to know. When banquet was held for the generals of the Anxi army, there seemed to be something missing without Gao Xianzhi.
Gu Qing said calmly: "I invited the commander-in-chief to celebrate the festival, but the commander-in-chief Gao Jie said he was ill and could not attend the banquet. It is a pity."
Bian Lingcheng also showed a look of regret and sighed: "It is indeed a pity. It is rare for Anxi generals to gather together tonight. In the past, they only came together like this during war."
Gu Qing smiled, stood up with the cup in hand, slowly looked around the generals, and said loudly: "Today I am inviting you generals to a banquet, there is nothing else to do. Gu has been in Anxi for two months and has not interacted with you yet. Today is mainly for
I have gotten to know you generals, and I am willing to work with you in the future to guard Anxi for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. Come on, generals, enjoy the victory!"
All the generals stood up one after another, took their cups, faced Gu Qing and said in unison: "Thank you for the hospitality, Lord Marquis, drink well!"
After drinking a full cup, the generals felt slightly surprised.
What Mr. Hou said just now seems to have a different flavor.
"I will be of one mind and heart with you in the future" may sound like it has no deep meaning on the surface, but if you look at it carefully, from the context and meaning of the word, it seems that... Gao Jieshuai has been excluded?
Is that what you mean? Am I the only one who thinks so?
The generals looked at each other and understood each other's meaning from their eyes. Obviously, not only one person thought so.
The atmosphere became a little cold again.
Gu Qing observed the reactions of the generals calmly. It could be seen from their reactions that Gao Xianzhi had a lot of prestige in the hearts of the generals in Anxi. He just said a probing word, but at this moment, the expressions of the generals had already changed.
I can see the answer.
He is worthy of being a famous general whose name is recorded in history books. He is indeed extraordinary. If he wants to eliminate Gao Xianzhi's influence in the Anxi Army, he must do better than him. Otherwise, if the generals are not convinced, the only troops Gu Qing can mobilize are those of Zuowei.
Ten thousand people.
If the Anxi Army doesn't obey you, it's better not to use it.
He stood up, took a cup, and toasted to all the generals respectively. The generals were quite polite and understood the rules of respect and inferiority. Gu Qing came from the banquet. Everyone stood up and saluted in panic. Gu Qing then made a circle and asked each person in detail about this.
The names and hometowns of the generals were exchanged with each other, and the atmosphere of the banquet became warm unknowingly.
Until Gu Qing saw an acquaintance, a friendly smile appeared on his lips.
An acquaintance named Ma Lin had a conflict with Gu Qing's bodyguard over a prostitute business. Gu Qing admired this person quite a bit because Ma Lin seemed calmer and a reasonable person. If Ma Lin hadn't compromised that day
Be patient, I'm afraid there will be a big conflict between the Anxi Army and the Left Guard Army.
"General Ma, you and I are acquaintances. We can't be acquainted without fighting. Haha, come on, have a full drink of this glass." Gu Qing took the lead in drinking a glass of wine.
Ma Lin hurriedly thanked her and drank with her respectfully.
Gu Qing was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at Ma Lin and said with a smile, "Where is General Ma's fairyland?"
Ma Lin lowered his head and said: "The last general is from Fufeng, Qizhou. His grandfather's name is Shangzhengxiahui. He once worshiped General Youweiwei. His father is Sheng. He once served as Yousiyu and led the army to join the army."
Gu Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out that she is the Queen of the General. No wonder it's disrespectful to see General Ma's prowess."
Ma Lin didn't even dare.
Gu Qing looked him over. Ma Lin's name had always seemed familiar to him, as if he had vaguely seen it in a book in his previous life. He must have left his name in the history books, but it was only a rough impression. He was loyal or traitorous to him.
I don't know at all, but judging from Ma Lin's humble, courteous, not arrogant and sensible manner, she shouldn't be a bad person.
I don’t know about loyalty or talent, but those who can leave their names in the history books are all awesome people. This person...should be under his command.
Chaos is about to break out, and Gu Qing urgently needs to gather the talents of the world for his own use. The Ma Lin in front of him has caught his eye, and he should think of a way to win over him.
After having another drink with Ma Lin, Gu Qing walked towards the next general with a smile.
Bian Lingcheng sat at the table and drank with a smile. He did not refuse the generals' toasts, and he seemed to have a good drinking capacity.
But his eyes kept staring at Gu Qing, paying attention to his every move, which general he chatted with for how long, and what he probably said. He was paying close attention, but his mind kept thinking about Gu Qing's day today.
The purpose of hosting a banquet for Anxi generals.
Until Gu Qing came back from the toast, Bian Lingcheng smiled and drank a glass with Gu Qing, saying: "The Marquis has a good capacity for drinking. In this round, the Marquis has drunk at least twenty glasses, but there is no hint of drunkenness. This slave is really
I admire you very much.”
Gu Qing winked at him and said with a smile: "If the border supervisors have some free time, they might as well come to the camp. How about you and I having a drink together?"
Bian Lingcheng laughed: "As I wish, I don't dare to invite you. I will definitely bother the Marquis for a few drinks."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed. After Gu Qing finished laughing, he suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice: "Generals, we have had a toast and I have gotten to know everyone. Now I have one more thing to say..."
All the generals sat up straight and stared at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing said slowly: "Everyone should know that I was transferred to Anxi by decree. When I left Chang'an, Your Majesty assigned me 10,000 soldiers and horses of the left guard. These 10,000 soldiers and horses will be integrated into the Anxi army. But now there is still no one between the Anxi army and the left guard."
If there is too much intersection, if there is a war in Anxi, the two sides' soldiers and horses are too unfamiliar to inevitably lead to poor command and improper coordination..."
Bian Lingcheng frowned and drank a glass of wine in silence.
Gu Qing continued: "So, in order to integrate the two armies as soon as possible and the two families into one family, I have decided to hold a competition between the two armies on the school field in one month."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were in an uproar, and Bian Lingcheng also looked at Gu Qing in surprise.
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but Gu Qing smiled and said: "If you have something to say, you can say it loudly. We are all military men, so don't hide it."
A general with a rather forthright personality stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Master Marquis, I don't know if the 'competition' you are talking about is one-on-one, or battalion-on-battalion. Is it a competition of personal bravery and skill, or the formation of two armies?"
Fight offensively and defensively.”
Gu Qing said with a smile: "It includes everything you mentioned, from personal force to military exercises between the two armies. It is a rare opportunity for the two armies to communicate and learn from each other. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you won't know each other. After the two armies fight, they will probably know each other.
Cherishing each other, this is what we generals would like to see."
The generals started talking again, and everyone's faces were full of hesitation. The decision announced by Gu Qing was so sudden that no one was mentally prepared.
Seeing that no one in the generals said a word, Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of coldness in his smile: "What's wrong, everyone is scared? Are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat the left guard soldiers? The experienced Anxi frontier army is afraid of a group of people.
Eat Taipingliang?"
The generals all changed their colors, and one general suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "I'm afraid of you! Just do it! I am willing to lead my troops to participate!"
Someone took the lead, and other generals also agreed, and the matter was settled.
Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction.
Bian Lingcheng quietly came over and said softly: "Master Hou, is this decision about the martial arts contest the result of Gao Jieshuai's decision or yours?"
"Shuai Gao has been ill recently. All military and political affairs of the Anxi Army are decided by me." Gu Qing said with his eyes closed.
Bian Lingcheng's smile was a little forced: "Why don't I know this? Lord Marquis... you might as well have some discussion with me."
Gu Qing opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Is the Border Patrol Army opposed?"
Bian Lingcheng also smiled: "Of course I don't dare to object to the Marquis's wishes, but... I still want to have some rights to know. After all, I am in my position. What do you think, Marquis?"
Gu Qing hummed and said: "If I understand correctly, the responsibility of supervising the army lies in 'supervising' rather than making decisions. Please report this matter to Chang'an exactly as it is. If Your Majesty feels that I have done this inappropriately, I am willing to be punished."
.”
Bian Lingcheng hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Lord Marquis is serious. For such a trivial matter as a military exercise between the two armies, there is no need for my slaves to report to Chang'an."
Gu Qing glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
For some reason, Bian Lingcheng was much more courageous today than the last time he saw him, as if he had something to rely on. It seemed that something unknown to him had happened to him.
