Chapter 012 [Celebration Banquet]
In Qingyang territory, there is a largest and most closely guarded camp in the camp of the Zhao family army in this battle. This is the camp of Zhao Zheng’s main general. What is a bit different from what He Ping imagined is that this camp looks very simple from both the appearance and the interior, and is mainly practical. The armor that Zhao Zheng himself wore before also has the same style, which is completely different from the gorgeous heavy armor of the Auckland generals on the other side.
In the camp, Zhao Zheng sat with several generals and He Pingdian, wearing digital camouflage uniforms. The wooden chairs and wooden tables covered with animal skins, as well as the ceramic containers placed on them, made He Ping roughly understand the level of civilization level 2. Zhao Zheng, who had already changed into cloth robe, raised the wine glass on the table and said:
"Everyone, we have another big victory today! We annihilated hundreds of enemies and captured nearly a thousand. Such a record may be nothing compared to the large-scale battle between our two countries, but this is a big victory for our Qingyang territory! Moreover, as we all know before, after this battle, we finally took down the iron ore, which is of great significance to our Qingyang territory and even the entire Tianhua Empire."
"And everyone knows that this time, the Lance family sent Wolf, the old leader, and Chris, the wolf cub, as the pioneer. In terms of strength alone, we thought this would be a hard battle, but we never thought that it would end up like this. Wolf retreated and Chris died in battle. This is a heavy blow to the Lance family. It can be foreseeable that they should be more honest for a long time."
"First of all, let's honor the hundreds of soldiers who died in this battle!" After saying that, Zhao Zheng took the lead in leaning forward the wine glass in his hand and poured the wine in it on the ground in front of him. The others in the camp also made the same move as Zhao Zheng. He Ping was no exception. He also raised the wine glass and spilled the wine in the glass on the ground in front of him very seriously to express his respect for the fallen soldiers.
This is also the disadvantage of cold weapons fighting. Although Tianhua's side won an overwhelming victory in this battle, as Zhao Zheng said just now, annihilated hundreds of enemies and captured nearly a thousand, no matter how advantageous he had, with He Ping's arrow tearing the enemy's defense, Tianhua's casualties were inevitable. Although most of the time, Tianhua's soldiers were fighting against Auckland, hundreds of Tianhua soldiers were still killed and hundreds were injured in the process.
Zhao Zheng put down his empty wine glass and continued: "This battle was originally a tough battle for us, but the appearance of this little brother He Ping is the key to breaking the balance between the two armies. On the battlefield, everyone has seen or heard that it is precisely because of this little brother He Ping who helped him and beat Chris with his own strength, and finally killed the wolf cub and killed nearly a hundred enemies, helping our army to open up the situation. If we have such a victory today, the little brother He Ping will be the first to win!"
As he said that, Zhao Zheng filled the wine glass again, raised the wine glass and said to He Ping, "This second glass of wine, let's toast the little hero He Ping!"
Others had no objection to this. They picked up their wine glasses and stood up to face He Ping. As the number one general of the Lance family, Chris is a headache for everyone here because he is born with divine power and is fearless in his battle. As a vanguard, he has many confrontation with the Qingyang Army. Every time, the Qingyang Army can only send several generals and many soldiers to encircle and suppress, but every time he killed many people and forced a breakthrough. Over the years, there have been no less than a thousand soldiers who died under Chris!
Although He Ping didn't know who Chris was, he also discovered during the battle that the weird-looking silver-haired sissy was indeed not an ordinary person. When facing other soldiers, or even some generals who seemed to have some status, He Ping was fatal. No one could block his attack. Only that sissy, who looked soft and weak, could face him a few moves. If the opponent hadn't underestimated the enemy, the battle might not have been that simple.
Seeing everyone holding up their glasses to face him, He Ping didn't know the etiquette here, but he was not pretentious. He picked up the glass as he was kind, stood up and responded to everyone, and drank the wine in the glass in one go. The wine slid down his throat, and a warm feeling rose from his stomach. He Ping felt that although the degree of the wine was not high, only about 30 degrees, it was mellow and long, and sweet in the mouth, which was much better than the low-priced and inferior blended white wine he often drank in the original world in his previous life.
"Okay! It's refreshing! Brother He Ping is so refreshing, we can't be pretentious. Come on, everyone will do it!" Seeing He Ping's mouthful, Zhao Zheng and others didn't say anything, pouring the wine in the glass into their mouths. It was very simple to establish a friendship between men. After drinking a glass of wine, He Ping suddenly felt that the distance between the people and the others had been shortened a lot. Everyone looked at him with less curiosity, more closeness, and there was no initial stiffness in their words.
Then He Ping talked with everyone, and ate and drank, from the origin of Tianhua to the process of establishing the empire, from the ancestors of the Zhao family, to the difficulty of being granted the title of Qingyang territory, from the trade with Auckland, to the outbreak of the war, from the acquaintance of Zhao Zheng and Trevor, to the fact that the two families became enemies, while getting closer to everyone, He Ping also gradually understood the general situation of the world, learned a lot of historical knowledge, and figured out the grievances between the Zhao family and the Lance family.
After drinking and eating, most people left the tent of the general. In addition to Zhao Zheng and He Ping, the only one who stayed here was the middle-aged scholar named He Chuan, and the young general named Wen Fang, who always followed Zhao Zheng, saw that only his confidant was left, Zhao Zheng sat opposite He Ping and asked, "I don't know what plans are for the next time," he said in Qingyang. However, what Zhao Zheng said in Qingyang is still effective, but if you have any requirements, you can say it."
He Ping's evaluation of Zhao Zheng was already very high, but he had to raise it further at this time. Whether it was the celebration banquet just now or the conversation at this time, Zhao Zheng did not engage in much trouble about He Ping's origin. Not only that, he even stopped others from asking He Ping's bottom line. Faced with such a strange person who can do this, we can see Zhao Zheng's mind, and this just fulfilled He Ping's wishes. After all, he really had to ask.
