Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 904
"Everyone, I can't accompany you on the expedition this time, and I hope you understand."

At the end of the drink, Liu Wei looked at the crowd apologetically.

"Your Majesty, why did you say that? You are the king of a country, how can you move lightly? Besides, although we are old, we are all experienced in many battles. I am afraid that the wounds on our bodies are older than those of the young soldiers. Son, Sun Ce, not enough. For worry!"

Zhang He drank a little too much, and said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm relieved to have Junyi's words!"

Liu Wei drank very happily today, and shouted to the outside: "Come here, bring in my gift!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, two eunuchs walked in from outside the house, each holding a tray covered with a bulletin.

Liu Wei opened the announcement, only to see stacks of neatly stacked cloaks on it.

"Everyone, you are already extremely human ministers, and I have nothing to reward you, so I can only use these cloaks to perfuse you, don't be disgusted!"

Liu Wei put on the cloaks one by one while talking.

"Your Majesty, this cloak looks like it was made of Shu brocade. The quality is really good!"

Although the rest of the people were happy, none of them loved the cloak like Dian Wei.

"Hey, I said Dianwei, since when did you like cloaks? I remember you didn't have this hobby before?"

Liu Wei looked at Dian Wei in confusion.

"Hey Hey!"

Dian Wei drank a little too much, scratched his head and giggled, and didn't speak.

Zhao Yun whispered to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, he doesn't like any cloak. He doesn't have a cloak to wear. The old cloak is already torn into shape! How can he not like this new cloak!"

"Oh? No, I remember that Dianwei's salary is not low. Could it be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has withheld his salary?"

Liu Wei asked.

"What, Your Majesty, let me tell you, this guy's monthly salary is used for drinking except to support his family. Where is the money to buy a cloak? His wife manages all the money in his family. He used the money to exchange the cloak, and this guy took the money to drink! Mrs. Dian personally bought him a good cloak, but he sold it and exchanged it for wine. Now his majesty still lives in Liaozhou. It's time to reward him!"

Gao Lan knew about Dian Wei's affairs clearly, because the two were drinking friends and often drank together.

But Dian Wei also has his own principles for good wine. He only keeps a little of his salary every month, and the rest is given to his wife. He doesn't sell anything made by people, nor does he sell weapons, armor and war horses, and he can exchange the leftover valuables for wine.

In addition, Dian Wei and Gao Lan are good at wine and not lustful, and they only go to small taverns to drink, not to big places, so their monthly drinking money is enough for them to drink for a month, unlike Guo Jia who is young Sometimes, you have to find a talented woman to accompany you when you drink, and the consumption is not low.

"Oh, this guy, he really cares about nothing for the sake of his mouth!"

Liu Wei smiled slightly.

"Okay, Dian Wei, you throw away the cloak at home, I'll give you another two days, wearing a mended cloak, you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed too!"

Liu Wei pretended to reprimand Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was startled, then rubbed his hands in embarrassment, hesitant to speak.

"If there is anything else, tell me! I will solve it for you!"

Liu Wei said grandly.

"Hey hey hey, then I will thank Your Majesty first!"

Dian Wei thanked Liu Wei first, and then said: "Your Majesty, my iron double halberds have been worn down to less than [-] catties, and they don't feel very heavy to use. My armor is also a bit worn out. Can your majesty give me some money?" I'll get a new one!"

Dian Wei looked at Liu Wei expectantly.

"Hey, you really dare to speak, you really think of me as a rich man!"

"That's it!"

Liu Wei said with a smile: "Each of you has a new set of armor. Whoever needs to change their weapons should tell me that I will change them for you as well!"

Liu Wei rewarded them with armor, and they can accept it, but they really don't need to change this weapon. The rest of the people, except Gao Lan, will go to the Liaozhou Arsenal after their weapons are worn out, either to change or repair them. They are not bad. money.

Liu Wei waited for a long time, except for Gao Lan who proposed to change a gun, none of the others said anything.

"Okay, that's it, everyone has a new set of armor, no one will go to my royal horse farm to pick two horses!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking magnanimously, everyone thanked you.

After drinking for a long time, Liu Wei got up and left first, and then Zhao Yun and the others also left one after another. Only Dian Wei held Gao Lan tightly and refused to let him go. He asked Gao Lan to stay here with him to continue drinking. After a while, Dian Wei passed out drunk, fell asleep on the table.

Yue Xi was angry and happy, this Dian Wei really didn't regard himself as an outsider, and he became such a virtue.

"Yu Xiao, let's go too, I'll send him home first!"

Gao Lan stretched out his hand to support Dian Wei, put Dian Wei's hand on his shoulder, and put his right hand around Dian Wei's waist. The operation was smooth and flowing. It was not the first time he did this kind of thing.

"Farewell, since he drank too much, let him rest at my residence today, and let him go back by himself tomorrow morning!"

Yue Xi took Dian Wei's heavy body from Gao Lan, and asked his servants to carry him to the guest room to rest.

"That's fine, he's so good, and when I get to his house, I'll be complained by his wife again, let him stay with you today, I'll go first!"

Gao Lan stood up and left.

Everyone at the banquet today, including Liu Wei, drank too much, and when they got home, they all fell asleep.

Nothing happened that night, and early the next morning, all those who attended the banquet yesterday received the imperial decree and what Liu Wei bestowed on them.

The imperial decree states that Yue Xi, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, Gao Shun, Tai Shici, and Xia Houlan are ordered to be the commanders of the Southern Expedition. Among the eight, there is no marshal, no vanguard, no left and right wings , All official positions, including who is responsible for escorting food and grass, and who is responsible for the main attack, are all assigned by them themselves.

"The minister accepts the order!"

After the eight people received the order, they put on the armor given to them by Liu Wei, stepped on the armor given to them by Liu Wei, and were ready to go.

Liu Wei personally came out from the palace to see them off.

Outside the city of Kyoto, there were already [-] infantry and [-] cavalry in formation, waiting for their general to leave the city for inspection.

At noon, the eight veterans rode Xiliang's tribute horses and walked out of the city together in a row.Liu Wei looked at the soldiers and horses below the city from the top of the city gate, and watched them leave.
