"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 772
"I hope that our two militaries can abandon the past, not invade each other, and ensure the peace and stability of Jiangnan Province and Dongjiang Province, so that the people of Li will no longer suffer from the war"
?In a mansion compound in Sishui Prefecture, Lei Ming, the deputy commander of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army, as the representative of the Qinghe Army, also took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Liang, the representative of the Southern Army after signing the armistice agreement.
"General Lei, please rest assured that our hundreds of thousands of southern troops have always been strict in military discipline and will definitely keep their own place. We just hope that your army can also abide by the agreement, otherwise your army will bear the consequences."
Xu Liang, the representative of the Southern Army and the head of the First Corps, looked at the smiling Lei Ming, feeling very upset, and there was a vague threatening meaning in his words.
"Hahaha, General Xu, don't worry, our Qinghe army will abide by the agreement."
Lei Ming didn't care about the threats in Xu Liang's words, because their Qinghe Army was not afraid of the Southern Army at all.
The reason why they agreed to sign the armistice agreement now is just to take a breath to digest the occupied areas.
"General Xu, it is not easy for our two armies to shake hands and make peace. I heard that the salted duck in the Zuihonglou in Sishui Prefecture is famous all over the world. How about we go there and have a drink to celebrate?"
Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps of the Southern Army, was actually unwilling to sign a secret armistice agreement with the Qinghe Army as a representative of the Southern Army.
Because if this kind of embarrassing thing is made public in the future, if the court changes its attitude towards the Qinghe Army, whoever signs it will be the scapegoat, and this is the handle.
However, Su Chong, the imperial envoy, and Luo Mingyuan, the new Jinnan king, called their names, and he, the regiment commander, had to bite the bullet and sign a secret truce agreement with the Qinghe army.
Seeing that the newly promoted Southern King Luo Mingyuan became the shopkeeper and handed over this difficult matter to himself, Xu Liang was quite upset.
However, if he wanted to stay in the southern army, he had to follow orders.
His original intention was to leave immediately after signing. After all, this is not a glorious thing.
However, Lei Ming, the representative of the Qinghe Army, asked to have a dinner together to celebrate. As a representative of the Southern Army, he had no reason to refuse.
"Since General Lei has arrived in Sishui Mansion, I naturally want to do my best as a landlord."
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, since Lei Ming proposed it, he, the representative of the Southern Army, naturally didn't want to appear too petty.
"Quickly go to Zuihonglou to book a banquet."
As the protagonist, Xu Liang, head of the First Corps, summoned a personal guard and arranged the celebration banquet.
? That night, the best drunk red building in Surabaya Prefecture was brightly lit, and the representatives of the Southern Army and Qinghe Army toasted their cups, creating a joyous scene.
"Brother Xu, if you don't fight, you won't know each other. From now on, you will be my brother, and your business will be my business. If you have something to say, we Qinghe Army will support you."
At the banquet, Lei Ming, the representative of the Qinghe Army, also blushed from drinking, and hugged Xu Liang's shoulders, as if he had been a good buddy for many years.
"General Lei, you drank too much."
The two sides were still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield a few days ago, but now they want to call each other brothers, and Xu Liang has not yet adapted to it.
"Pour the wine, I want to have a drink with Brother Xu!"
Lei Ming yelled because of his drunkenness, and an officer of the Qinghe Army hurriedly filled their wine glasses with wine.
"Come on, raise your glass¡ª"
Lei Ming picked up the wine glass, although Xu Liang was reluctant, he could only hold the wine glass and drink with Lei Ming.
Seeing Xu Liang raise his neck and pour a glass of wine down his throat, Lei Ming's slightly squinted eyes flashed a triumphant smile.
Facing the enthusiastic representatives of the Qinghe Army, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite enthusiastic. Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps of the Southern Army, also drank a lot of wine, and his head was dizzy.
"Brother Xu, you owe me a favor, don't forget."
After the banquet, when both parties were saying goodbye in the drunken red building, Lei Ming patted Xu Liang who was drunk, and laughed straight.
"What favor?"
Xu Liang was drowsy from drinking, and after hearing Lei Ming's words, he was also at a loss.
"It's about fighting on the North Road, don't say anything about it, haha, take your leave, take your leave, we won't return when we have time."
When Lei Ming saw Xu Liang who was full of confusion, he didn't explain, but walked away pretending to be mysterious, leaving Xu Liang drunk.
"Go back home."
Xu Liang also??After being downed with a lot of wine, my head was so dizzy that I didn't bother to think about it, so I went back home immediately.
Not long after, an officer of the Southern Army who participated in the banquet secretly arrived at the headquarters of the Southern Army in Surabaya Mansion.
The headquarters is a mansion compound, which is divided into the front yard, the front hall and other office locations, and the back yard is the temporary residence of the Southern King Luo Mingyuan.
After all, his palace is going to be built in the capital of Dongjiang Province, and now he is still temporarily living in the front line of Sishui Mansion.
Although Luo Mingyuan, the southern king, did not participate in the signing of the armistice agreement in order to avoid being held accountable by the court in the future, he also arranged for people to pay attention to this matter.
The officer of the southern army passed the sentry all the way and arrived at the study of the southern king Luo Mingyuan. He reported to him in detail the process of signing the agreement and the process of the banquet.
"You said they called each other brothers at the banquet?"
When he heard Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, and Lei Ming, the representative of the Qinghe Army, called each other brother and brother at the banquet, Southern King Luo Mingyuan also frowned.
"His Royal Highness Nan Wang, that's not all. When the bandit soldier Lei Ming left, he patted General Xu on the shoulder and said that General Xu owed him a favor."
"What favor?"
"I didn't say anything specific, I just heard the words "Battle on the North Road." The officer said respectfully.
After hearing this, Luo Mingyuan, the Southern King, stood up abruptly, his face darkened.
?This time the three-way army attacked the Jiangnan province, and the entire army on the middle and south roads was wiped out. Only Xu Liang's troops on the north road suffered the least loss.
Now that Luo Mingyuan heard the news again, he couldn't help but suspect that Xu Liang and the Qinghe Army had colluded.
"This is a dog that eats inside and out!"
Thinking of these things that happened, Luo Mingyuan was also full of anger. He felt that their defeat this time was definitely due to an inner ghost. Otherwise, how could they have lost the battle with such a strong strength.
"Keep this matter secret."
Although Luo Mingyuan can't wait to kill Xu Liang, a general who eats inside and out.
But Xu Liang was the commander of the First Corps after all, and he held a heavy army. Luo Mingyuan didn't dare to move him easily, so he had to think carefully.
Luo Mingyuan was quite dissatisfied with Xu Liang before, but now that he heard that he might have colluded with the Qinghe Army, he was also determined to get rid of him.
Xu Liang, who was sleeping soundly in his mansion at this moment, naturally didn't know that it was just an ordinary banquet, and he was being tricked by the Qinghe army.
When Xu Liang woke up the next day and went to report the signing of the agreement to the Southern King Luo Mingyuan, he saw Luo Mingyuan's indifferent attitude, but he didn't understand why.
It's just that he drank a little too much last night, but he knew that he had drunk too much and went back to the mansion, so he probably didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Luo Mingyuan didn't make it clear, and Xu Liang was kept in the dark, so no one mentioned this matter again, but Luo Mingyuan felt a lump in his heart. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
