At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 10: White Robe Farewell
Jizhou, General’s Mansion.

Five hundred soldiers surrounded the mansion, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.

Inside the mansion, many soldiers and servants were busy.

In front of the mansion gate, there were carriages parked, loaded with gold, silver, rare treasures, and countless valuables.

"Everyone be careful."

Shi Qing warned: "Be quick with your hands and feet, especially with those ceramics and jades."

Xiao Han took off the armor, changed into a white robe, and called Lu Ju, "Are the families of the brothers ready?"

"Notifying."

Lu Ju said: "The earliest would be tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let's set off tomorrow morning and head to Xiliang."

Xiao Han nodded.

Until the next morning, there was still no punishment from Xie Xuanli. This incident was purely because Pan Feng walked into his trap and asked for trouble.

The sky is slightly bright.

Fifty or sixty horse-drawn carriages slowly set out from the general's mansion. Yesterday, instructions were given to the captain guarding the west gate to open it early.

Therefore, when the convoy arrived, one of the west gates was already open.

Xiao Han rode in front of the others. As soon as he left the city, a maid came over and saluted: "Miss, please let the general come over."

Xie Wan'er was in the pavilion not far from the city gate, still dressed in red, cold and taciturn.

On the stone table stood a jar of unopened wine.

"what happened?"

far away.

Liao Huan, Shi Qing and other generals gathered together and muttered, "Why haven't I heard that Miss Xie and our general are so close?"

"Yeah, I usually ignore you, why are you coming to see me off now?"

"It's weird."

Xiao Han stepped into the pavilion.

"Is something wrong?"

He spoke.

"I'm here to see you off on behalf of my father."

Xie Wan'er slightly opened her red lips and spoke in a very pleasant voice.

"Don't take yesterday's incident to heart. My brother is young and inexperienced, and he doesn't know how to behave."

"After returning, my father had already whipped him with a cane."

"It's just a small matter. I'm not that tolerant."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly.

Hear the words.

Xie Wan'er nodded, then removed the seal on the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine, then picked up one of the bowls and held it up with both hands: "I wish General Xiao a safe journey."

"It's time to call him Governor Xiao."

Xiao Han picked up another bowl of wine and clinked it from a distance.

Then he drank it all in one gulp and turned and left.

He came to the front of the team and ordered: "Liao Huan, Lu Ju, Shi Qing, each of you will lead 50 riders and set out immediately to Sanhe Town, Dawangzhuang, and Liutiao Town to pick up people."

"Meet at the entrance of Taihang Valley, one hundred miles away."

There are not many family members of the soldiers in Jizhou City, and most of them are scattered in the villages outside the city.

Xiao Han sent someone to notify them yesterday, in case there were any changes, so he had to send someone to respond today.

Chen Gong and Zhuge Shou rode forward and asked with a chuckle, "General, what does Miss Xie want to talk to you about?"

"Isn't it that I have figured it out and want to be with you..."

"Go! Go! Go."

Xiao Han slapped Zhuge Shou on the back of his head in anger and scolded him, "If you have this thought, you might as well practice martial arts and read more books."

"Also, don't call me general anymore. I'm the governor of Xiliang now."

"What kind of governor is that?"

Zhuge Shou was indignant: "They are so rude. They really treat us like old shoes. They pick us up when they want to wear us, and hide us under the bed when they don't."

"Why is there so much nonsense?"

Xiao Han said: "Although Xiliang is bitterly cold, at least it is comfortable."

"That's true."

Chen Gong nodded.

"Keep me motivated all the way."

Xiao Han's face was solemn: "Whether we can successfully reach Xiliang is still uncertain."

"Not really." Zhuge Shou looked back at the majestic Jizhou City and said, "Could it be that they are going to attack us so soon?"

"Can't you think about something more?"

A few black lines appeared on Xiao Han's forehead: "Why did you do that to me, Lord? I'm talking about the Northern Wei Dynasty and the imperial court."

"Especially be careful of assassinations."

"As the saying goes, it's easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. It won't go wrong for us to be careful."

"understood."

Chen Gong and Zhuge Shou looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Thirty miles out of Jizhou City, they arrived at Sanhe Town, where they met up with Liao Huan. After taking their families with them, they continued on their journey.

"Xiao Han, slow down."

A voice came from the side. Xiao Han turned around and saw a white-robed general standing in a simple thatched pavilion.

"you?"

Xiao Han was surprised. After telling everyone to get on the road, he rode his horse to the outside of the thatched pavilion.

"I didn't expect you would come to see me off before I leave."

Xiao Han looked at the white-robed general.

"Why? I can't send it?"

Chen Qingzhao laughed.

"Of course I can."

"After all, we are sworn brothers."

"A cup of muddy wine and a pot of coarse tea are for you to practice, please don't despise them."

Chen Qingzhao waved.

They dismounted and walked into the thatched pavilion, where they sat down.

"Brother, you are still following my old ways. It is indeed the usual routine of the Marquis of Zhenbei. However, I am afraid that your departure will destabilize the morale of the army."

Chen Qingzhao shook his head slightly.

"no way."

Xiao Han smiled bitterly: "A tall tree attracts the wind. In order to pass on the throne in the future, the Marquis will definitely take this step. If he doesn't leave now, it will be difficult to get out in the future."

"The young marquis doesn't understand anything now."

Chen Qingzhao looked at him with clear and gentle eyes: "He will still need you in the future, and Jiyou Land cannot do without you."

"not necessarily."

Xiao Han curled his lips and said, "Young Marquis, make good use of your white-robed general. Jiyou will be safe. I just need to take care of Xiliang."

"Your ability is above mine."

Chen Qingzhao said: "Your Yuyang Prefecture Army is more powerful than my White Robe Army. With you guarding the northern border, we have no worries."

"I am now the governor of Xiliang."

Xiao Han picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "I drank two cups of practice wine today, which was really unexpected."

"If you encounter any trouble in Xiliang in the future, you can let me know. If it is within my ability, I will not refuse."

When Chen Qingzhao said this, Xiao Han could feel that he was not just being hypocritical.

As a general under the command of Marquis Zhenbei, perhaps because he was too young or had made too many contributions, Xiao Han did not have a good relationship with most of the other generals of the Northern Palace Army, and many of them were just nodding acquaintances.

Over the years, he has been working hard to accumulate strength and improve his skills, not wanting to be involved in the power vortex of the Northern Palace Army.

However, many times, things do not develop as he wishes.

As his strength grew and his military exploits increased, his status in the Northern Army also rose rapidly.

It's just like the saying goes, once you enter the world, you have no choice.

Xiao Han's rise quickly overshadowed many generals of the Northern Army, causing their relationship to become even worse.

The relationship between him and his sworn brother Chen Qingzhao also became increasingly cold.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

He said, "If not, I will leave."

"Gone."

Chen Qingzhao smiled, as if he remembered something, and said, "I have long disliked that villain Pan Feng."

"A kindred spirit."

After leaving these words, Xiao Han laughed loudly, jumped on his horse, and went after Chen Gong, Zhuge Shou and the others.

at dusk.

The families of Dawangzhuang were successfully brought to the street, and it was almost dark.

So they set up camp on the spot.

At noon the next day, they met up with Shi Qing at the entrance of Taihang Valley. Five hundred riders, along with thousands of family members and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, headed for Xiliang in a mighty procession.
