My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1199: As long as you don’t die, I will use you to death! Keep playing the music and dancing!
Yang Duanhe's heart trembled violently.

Even in later generations, Yang Duanhe was old enough to have received social security for decades, had to sit in the special seat for the elderly when getting on the bus, and had to be addressed as old man wherever he went.

But in this era of poor medical conditions, Yang Duanhe was still riding a horse and holding a gun, fighting in battles all over the country!

Yang Duanhe has been fighting all his life. Although he has never won a big victory, he has never lost either. The connections, wealth and resources he has accumulated throughout his life are enough for him to live a carefree life and enjoy his old age. Why does he still fight so hard?
What Yang Duanhe was fighting for was not only the position of general, but also his dignity!

Now, Yang Duanhe finally won!
Yang Duanhe, who had fought in the battlefields for decades, was not killed by the enemy's open or secret weapons, but was almost killed by Ying Zheng's words!

After standing there and waiting for a few breaths, the darkness in front of Yang Duanhe slowly dissipated. Then Yang Duanhe immediately bowed his hands and shouted hoarsely: "I, the humble general, thank the king for his grace!"

Then Yang Duanhe bowed to Ying Chengjiao, Meng Wu, Wang Ben and other generals one by one to express his gratitude.

Ying Zheng stepped forward to support Yang Duanhe, and said in a gentle voice: "It is not the general who wants to thank me, but I, the contemporary Great Qin, thank you, general!"

"The general served in several dynasties and fought nearly 100,000 miles in his life. He fought in hundreds of battles, big and small, and never lost a single one. He fought bravely for our Qin and resisted powerful enemies, and made great contributions!"

"Just as my brother said, the general is the iron wall of our Great Qin!"

"Whenever there is a mistake in the army formation, choose a general to stop it, and there will be no danger!"

"General, please continue to improve yourself, be prepared for battle at all times, and make more contributions to our Great Qin!"

This is what Ying Zheng said and thought.

The concept of retirement was simply not in Ying Zheng's mind, otherwise Ying Zheng in the original history would not have sent Yang Duanhe, who was over a hundred years old, to the north to fight against the Huns when the Qin Dynasty was full of generals.

As long as you can use it to death, I will use it to death!
Yang Duanhe had no intention of retiring because of his old age. On the contrary, because he was old enough, he did not have to worry about being overshadowed by his master. He bowed without hesitation and said, "Wherever your sword points, I will follow!"

"I can still fight for the Qin for another 70 years!"

Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "Good! Very good!"

"Take the crown!"

He ordered the eunuch to bring the crown of the young master. Ying Zheng did not let Ying Chengjiao do it for him. Instead, he personally took off Yang Duanhe's hairpin, put the flat crown on Yang Duanhe, and then presented the seal of the general with both hands.

Feeling the weight on his head getting heavier, he stroked the four seal characters of "General Yang" with his fingers. Although Yang Duanhe was already a martyr in his twilight years, he was still full of ambition!

Ying Chengjiao stood up first, and then Wang Ben, Yang Hu, Yang Qiu, Su Jiao and other generals stood up together, facing Yang Duanhe, raised their glasses and shouted: "Congratulations to the general!"

Led by a group of generals, more than 200,000 soldiers also stood up, bowed and shouted: "Congratulations to the general!"

Ying Zheng handed his wine cup to Yang Duanhe and said with a smile: "General, you should drink to your victory with us!"

Yang Duanhe became more and more excited, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Taking the wine cup specially used by Ying Zheng, Yang Duanhe turned around and looked at the army behind him, shouting excitedly: "Congratulations to the king!"

As the wine went down his throat, Yang Duanhe's wrinkled old face instantly turned redder than a monkey's butt!

No regrets in this life!
Ying Zheng took a new wine cup from the eunuch and said loudly: "Today, there will be endless wine and delicacies. I will not return until I am drunk!"

"Play music and feast!"

The sounds of drums, harps and flutes suddenly arose, and all the ministers and generals looked at each other in surprise.

"Is this the end? General Ben, General Wu and other generals have not received their rewards yet!"

"It's fine that the generals haven't received any rewards, but the king hasn't rewarded Chang'an Jun yet! Chang'an Jun cut off thirteen of the king's heads in one battle, and even swept through the northern enemies. Doesn't he deserve a big reward?"

"My God is a god from heaven who has come to the human world. What qualifications does the Human King have to confer a title on my God?"

"Hey? Look at what you said. If the king grants the entire Jin'alin Mountains to Lord Chang'an, then you will all be his subjects in the future. If Lord Chang'an develops a new craftsmanship technique in the future, he will definitely grant it to you first!"

"There is such a good thing? I think the king should reward us generously!"

Many soldiers couldn't help whispering even though Ying Zheng was still there.

Even surrendered generals such as Hulun and Buir were rewarded by Ying Zheng. Yang Duanhe, who did not perform well in this battle, was also rewarded by Ying Zheng. Almost all generals who performed well in this battle were rewarded, but Ying Chengjiao, Meng Wu, Wang Ben and other real generals of the Qin army in this battle did not receive any rewards, and were not even mentioned by Ying Zheng.

How can the soldiers be convinced? !

In other words, all the soldiers in the army knew that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao had a deep relationship, and they believed that Ying Zheng would not dare to anger a living god.

Otherwise, all the soldiers in the army might have begun to suspect that Ying Zheng wanted to put away his bows when the birds were all gone and cook away his running dogs when the rabbits were dead!

The soldiers in the army were like this, and Wang Ben and other generals were even more worried. Ying Chengjiao asked Ying Zheng in a low voice: "Brother, is the reward over?"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "Today's rewards are complete!"

Ying Chengjiao looked surprised: "Brother, are you serious?" Although the vast number of fiefs had already caused him great trouble, his title had already reached its peak and there was no more reward for him.

However, generals like Meng Wu and Wang Ben still have a long way to go before they can be rewarded to the fullest, especially Li Xin. This young man is determined to become the first general of the Li family!

You're not going to reward me now?

Ying Zheng's smile became even more intense: "Don't worry, my brother, I will not mistreat my meritorious ministers!"

Since Ying Zheng had already made the decision, Ying Chengjiao chose to believe him and immediately said in a loud voice: "Dance!"

This time, it was Ying Zheng's turn to look surprised.

Dance?

Although the prince always came up with some new tricks every time he returned victorious, he had never performed a dance.

Could it be that the prince has finally stopped pretending and wants to let the soldiers perform a triumphal dance when the army returns triumphantly?

Ying Zheng looked forward with great anticipation, and saw a middle-aged warrior with fair skin, broad shoulders, a bulging belly, and bare chest and abdomen, leading dozens of men of different body shapes and ages, all with bare chests and abdomens, walking forward.

Dozens of people looked extremely embarrassed and timid. They did not dare to look at others while walking. Everyone wanted to hide behind others, but had to move forward.

As these people stepped forward, the smiles on the faces of the Donghu surrendered generals disappeared, and their eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

Finally, this group of open-minded men came to within ten feet of Ying Zheng. The leading warrior hit his heart with his right fist, bowed and whispered: "King Tungus, Bater, greets the King of Qin!"

"We would like to present our Tungus dance to the king!"

Following Bater, a group of men also pounded their hearts with their right fists, bowed and whispered: "Prince Maban (Mahan)/General Auxiliary of Byeonban (Byeonhan, the predecessor of Gaya)/General Jinban (Jinhan, the predecessor of Silla)...Greetings to the King of Qin!"

"We would like to present our tribe's dance to the king!"

The surprise in Ying Zheng's eyes grew stronger, and he whispered, "My brother, you are being too harsh on the captives!"

How can we allow nobles from other countries to dance in public?
Just exile them to a remote place and let them die on their own!
Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother. The barbarians fear power but not virtue. They should not be treated like the kings of China."

"Although the barbarians are not good at fighting, they are good at singing and dancing, and they love singing and dancing. It is their blessing to be able to dance for you, my brother, and it is also proof that you are willing to accept them."

"Besides, the barbarians and the people of the northern border of our Great Qin have an old grudge. Our Great Qin exterminated the Xiongnu and Miao people for the people of Qin and Zhao, and we must also vent our anger on the people of Yan. It is appropriate to make the King of Donghu, who was unwilling to surrender, dance for him."

If Li Shimin can watch the foreign Turkic Khan dance, my elder brother also wants to watch the foreign Donghu King dance!
Not only do you want to watch it, you also want to watch it enough at once and get enough enjoyment!

Seeing Ying Chengjiao's insistence, Ying Zheng did not try to persuade him and nodded, "Approved!"

Bater glanced at Ying Chengjiao from the corner of his eye, then turned around carefully and said in a low voice: "What are you guys still standing there for?"

"dance!"

A group of Donghu nobles and Nanfan nobles hurriedly twisted their bodies to the music played by the Qin musicians. Bater also opened his arms and twisted his round belly, and then took a sideways step, pretending to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.

Ying Chengjiao laughed and cheered: "Cheers!"

After hearing this, Bater finally felt relieved, but then he felt bitter in his heart.

God knows how much effort Bater put in to win Chengjiao's "Cai".

Bater, who had never danced before, carried nearly 200 kilograms to learn dance steps from the dancers in the tribe. However, there were many moves that Bater could not do by himself. Bater could only use his brain to integrate the movements of daily life and combat into the dance.

If he had known this day would come, even if King Xi of Yan gave the entire territory of Yan to Bater, Bater would never form an alliance with Yan, let alone send troops to attack Qin!
Unfortunately, there is no if in reality.

Bater could only expose his body and try his best to make his fat body dance flexibly in front of the foreign king and his former subordinates.

Su Jiao, Li Hong and other Qin generals saw this and clapped their hands and cheered: "Hahaha~ Great! Big win!"

"What Chang'an Jun said is true. The people of Donghu are really good at singing and dancing. Even the King of Donghu dances so funny!"

"Musician, please change to a more exciting piece of music. Didn't you see that the King of Donghu couldn't dance to his heart's content?"

The dancing steps of Bater and the Nanban nobles had nothing to do with beauty, but they made the Qin officers and ministers laugh continuously. For a moment, they forgot that Ying Zheng had not yet rewarded Ying Chengjiao, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet became more and more lively.

Ying Zheng was also amused by Bater's struggling to turn around and laughed out loud. He no longer thought that Ying Chengjiao's order was inappropriate, but raised his cup and shouted: "Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

"My dear friends, drink and win!"

More than 200,000 officials and soldiers also raised their cups and cheered excitedly: "Drink to victory!"
