Chapter 326, at the celebration banquet
The political hall of Liusha City.
This was originally used as a place for discussion and disposal every time something important happened in Liusha City, but now it was used as a place for a celebration banquet.
In the lively political hall, the big and small generals of the Rosefinch Army and all the businessmen and celebrities in the Liusha City who have made efforts or made money for the defense of the sand city have a place in the hall at this time.
The deceased, those who have survived, should celebrate, turn grief into strength, and turn grief into cherish!
Therefore, the most important thing for the Rosefinch Army to hold this celebration banquet is not to celebrate the victory of the war. Although the defense battle of Liusha City was indeed won, and after the retreat of the Autumn Army, Xiang Fang personally led the army to pursue it with tough martial arts, and finally killed thousands of heads, but this victory can only be regarded as Tragic victory.
After the battle, not only was the west gate of the sand city completely destroyed, but also the west wall was also damaged to varying degrees under the impact of the stones thrown by the other party's stone car and huge wood. It took a long time to repair it. These economic losses are not the most important losses, but the most important for Zhu The painful loss of the sparrow army was still the loss of personnel. At this point, the Rosefinch Army actually lost more than 10,000 people. If we add the demobilised personnel who originally belonged to the second army led by Zhong Zhi, the loss would be close to 20,000 people. Compared with the rosefinch, which only 60,000 to 70,000 people including the navy, it is definitely hurt.
Although the Rosefinch Army is rich enough to recruit more people to join the army, the lost veterans are far from being compared with the newly recruited soldiers. If it's just in terms of training, these veterans are all elite soldiers who have been baptized by the flames of war. Although it is a little exaggerated to be ten, one is still three. Yes.
This kind of victory is really not worth celebrating. Celebrating this victory will only make people feel sad and incompetent. Therefore, they are not holding a celebration banquet, but a thank-you banquet! Thanks to the generals of the Rosefinch Army, and to the celebrities from all walks of life and the common people of the Sand City. Without the concerted efforts of these people and the Rosefinch Army and the help of these people, no matter how many people the Rosefinch Army sacrificed, it would not have won the victory of this war.
And Xiangfang especially wanted to thank Long Fei and others. These people had nothing to do with the quicksand city and the rosefinch army, but they did not hesitate to participate in the war between the rosefinch army and the forbidden autumn army, and led 2,000 rosefinch cavalry to reverse the urgent result.
Although there were less than 1,000 people left in the end of the 2,000 rosefinch army, this record was enough to surprise Xiang Fang and surprise all the people of the rosefinch army who knew about it!
Long Fei and Tongtou, Junfeng, Gu Shichuan, Tielan, Jia Qing, Jia Ling and others sat in the corner near the door of the hall, looking at the noisy hall and looking at the smiles of everyone, they couldn't help but feel disgusted.
He was just disgusted and did not leave the hall immediately. After all, he did not look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Xiang Yuanfei was still their good friend.
However, Long Fei also knows that this is normal. In troubled times, people's lives are as low as dogs, and there are countless people who die because of war every day. If everyone is sad, they can't live.
Therefore, no wonder these merchants and the generals of the Rosefinch Army should be happy or be happy. No one knows whether the sun will rise from the east tomorrow!
The people in this hall are either generals or merchants. Except for Long Fei and others and the sons of several high-ranking generals in the Suzaku army, there are very few other people who are over 20 years old, even under 30 years old, most of whom are over 30 years old, or even 60 or 70 years old.
This makes the table of Long Fei and others very conspicuous. The whole table sitting full of teenagers under the age of 20, especially Longfei, Tielan, Jia's siblings, and bronze heads are even younger, as if they are still a teenager who is still studying.
A group of young people are sitting here. Everyone in the hall thinks that Long Fei and others must be the princes of some generals in the Rosefinch Army. The people in the hall ignore these teenagers who rely on the merits of their fathers to sit here. Even if they sit at the table next to Long Fei and others, they will pay attention to it. The table at the front of the hall was seated by Xiang Fang, Huang Wenhui, Liao * Chengzhi and other civil and military officials of the Rosefinch Army and some people with a special status in the sand city.
However, most of the people in the hall, including those next to Long Fei and others, did not expect that this time the sand city could mainly rely on these young men to relieve the siege!
At this time, Xiang Fang has finished speaking, and the whole hall is a lively toast. Some people in the hall who think they have some face are looking for people everywhere to toast, and those who are in harmony are waiting for others to come up to toast themselves.
But no matter what the identity of the people in the hall are, the first people to toast are the people at the front table, especially Xiang Fang, Huang Wenhui and Liao * Chengzhi. When the people in the hall toasted to these three people, as long as the three people picked up the glass and took a sip, they would be happy. After drinking the whole glass of wine, I didn't think it was fair at all, as if these three people just picked up their glasses and gave them great face.
When the whole hall was bustling, Xiang Yuanfei stood up and walked towards the door.
Seeing Xiang Yuanfei coming, everyone along the way consciously greeted him. In the noisy hall, it gradually calmed down. Xiang Yuanfei is the son of Xiang Fang, the heir of the Rosefinch Army in the future, and the city owner of the Liusha City in the future. He is already respected and powerful, and he is particularly outstanding in this war. Everyone knows that he can defeat the Autumn Army this time. The main reason is because of the cavalry of the Rosefinch Army outside the city, and Xiang Yuanfei happens to be this cavalry. Therefore, it can be said that most of the credit for defeating the Forbidden Autumn Army this time is attributed to Xiang Yuanfei.
Therefore, not only admire the rosefinch army, but also those who have heard about it in the sand city are deeply surprised. They all feel that the tiger father has no dog son. In the future, the development of the rosefinch army will certainly not be weaker than when Xiang is in power.
Therefore, everyone greeted Yuan Feijing one after another, completely treating Xiang Yuanfei as the city owner of Liusha City, and Xiang Yuanfei also saluted him one by one. His attitude was steady, sincere and generous. He was not surprised by the demeanor of a city lord.
But unexpectedly, under the attention of everyone, Xiang Yuanfei went straight to the most remote table where Long Fei and others sat, and sat down beside Long Fei and said with a smile, "Father asked me to sit beside him!"
Long Fei smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, you're welcome. We got it, but it's uncomfortable to sit there. It's better to sit here!"
"In fact, my father is very grateful for your help to the Rosefinch Army this time, especially the Dragon Brothers. If it hadn't been for the help of the Dragon Brothers, the Rosefinch Army and the Liusha City would be in danger. Maybe the city would really be destroyed and killed!" Xiang Yuanfei said gratefully, "It's just that the Dragon Brothers didn't want to be famous, but let me take the credit!"
"This is the credit of Brother Xiang! We just happened to meet!" Long Fei smiled and said, "Brother Xiang is the young commander of the Rosefinch Army. Without Brother Xiang's correct leadership, we can achieve such a big victory!"
"But..." Xiang Yuanfei was still a little embarrassed. He saw with his own eyes how Long Fei dispatched troops and generals. He was very impressed and wanted to pull Long Fei into the rosefinch army, but he knew that Long Feizhi was not here, so he was very sorry.
"Brother, don't say any more!" Jun Feng smiled and said, "We are just unlucky to hit the war!"
"We will be back in a few days." Tongtou said bluntly, "No matter how great the credit you said, it is useless for us."
"Yes! These contributions are useless to me, but they are different for Brother Xiang. Jia Ling said, "Brother Xiang will still take over the Rosefinch Army in the future. The greater the credit, the greater the prestige! These contributions are very useful for Brother Xiang to take over the Rosefinch Army!"
"Alas!" Xiang Yuanfei sighed and said, "Then I won't be polite!"
"What's the matter!" The ancient legend smiled and said, "The brother is more and more compatible with our temperament. Helping your brother is also your own favor. There is no need to be polite!"
"Okay! Since you all regard Xiang Yuanfei as a brother, I am also disrespectful. In the future, brothers and sisters will come to Liusha City to play when they are free. My rosefinch army welcomes you at any time!" Xiang Yuanfei said regretfully, "Actually, I still want to pull you into my rosefinch army, but I know that you are not here, so I dare not speak!"
Although he did not dare to speak, he still opened his mouth to test. It can be seen that these teenagers with Long Fei's song really surprised Xiang Yuanfei and were so high in the position of Xiang Yuanfei's heart, which made Xiang Yuanfei extremely reluctant.
In fact, in this troubled times, every force, whether out of self-bao or in the world, is extremely eager for talents, unless Yelang is arrogant and thinks that I am the first in the world.
"If there is a chance in the future, we will come to the sand city as a guest!" Tielan looked at Xiang Yuanfei's regretful expression and was a little unbearable.
"Haha..." Xiang Yuanfei smiled and said, "Then I'm looking forward to your arrival!" He picked up the wine glass on the table and said to Long Fei and others: "I will show my heart with this glass of water wine. I would like to you all!" After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it all.
Jia Qing didn't even say anything. Before Xiang Yuanfei put down the glass, he immediately picked up the glass and fell down from his mouth.
Xiang Yuanfei can't beat a stuffy fart on these three sticks, but he is very fond of the young man who does things neatly. He is young, but his martial arts skills are not low, and he is extremely smart, but he just doesn't like to talk.
I don't know where these teenagers came from. They are not old, but their martial arts skills are generally not low. They are all above the innate level. No matter who they are, it can naturally be seen that these teenagers have an unlimited future. No matter which force recruits them, they are an unlimited wealth, especially Long Fei. Not only has he reached the spiritual level, but he is also a military talent. Under such a bad situation, he can still work step by step, abruptly reverse the situation, and finally turn defeat into victory.
Although it can't be said that the victory of the Rosefinch Army this time is entirely because of Long Fei, most of it is because of him.
Everyone raised the wine and drank it with Xiang Yuanfei.
"I'll join in the fun!" As soon as the people put down their glasses, they saw Cao Yang coming over with a bowl of wine. From afar away, his thick and loud voice had already shouted, "I toast to all of you."
In this war, Cao Yang's contribution was indispensable. Whether he dared to lead troops to attack the Forbidden Camp, or led the cavalry with Xiang Yuanfei to fight around the sand city until he defeated the imperial army, it played a decisive role in this war, so a great contribution is indispensable. For Cao Yang, who was born in the Rosefinch Army, he naturally blushed with joy. Sitting at the top, he did not refuse to toast others, so he had already blushed.
He should not forget Long Fei and others. When he saw Xiang Yuanfei coming to toast, he hurriedly followed.
If it's just Xiang Yuanfei, Longfei's table may not be so eye-catching, because people in the hall may think that Long Fei and others must be like Xiang Yuanfei, but the children of some senior generals in the Rosefinch Army, Xiang Yuanfei is only young people, so they come to make a toast.
But after Cao Yang came, it was different. Cao Yang was not only middle-aged, but also a senior general in the Rosefinch army. What did he agree with the little kids Long Fei?
If there is nothing that attracts Cao Yang, will he go to the table where these teenagers sit and toast respectfully?
People in the hall think so, so with the arrival of Cao Yang, some people in the hall who paid attention to Cao Yang turned their eyes to this side.
