Unpalatable isn't exactly bad, but it's definitely not delicious.

Therefore, if Zhang Nuo ate in the palace, he would directly say that he had to cook according to his family's rules every time, otherwise the food would not be good.

But the state banquet is not a place for Zhang Nuo to act recklessly after all, it is all about pomp and class, so he can only endure it honestly, at worst, eat some cold dishes with wine.

After all, as long as the taste of cold dishes is well adjusted, it doesn't matter how you put them on the plate, as long as they are delicious!

As the protagonist of today's banquet, seeing that the food and wine have been served in a short period of time, holding up the wine glass and looking at the courtiers gathered in the hall, he suddenly felt a little excited.

This is his confidence to conquer the world and expand the territory!

Chapter 469

Li Shimin didn't sit down with the wine glass as before, but stood up directly.

Well, Li Shimin stood up, could others sit still, so everyone including Zhang Nuo stood up and looked at Li Shimin.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the day for my virtuous brother to go to war! I have summoned you all to come here for a banquet today, and I am doing my best for my virtuous brother!"

Having said that, Li Shimin turned around and looked at Zhang Nuo with his wine glass in hand and said,

"My dear brother, you are both my sworn brother and the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. This attack on Goryeo undoubtedly entrusts everything to you!"

"Although I have just ascended to the Great Treasure and took charge of the universe, my national strength is insufficient, so I cannot gather the power of the whole country to help you for the time being, but as an elder brother, I should respect you for this first glass of wine!"

"Brother, I wish you invincibility in all battles, and show off my Tang glory. Come, all lords, join me, respect the King of Qin, and drink victory!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone raised their glasses and shouted "Jing Qin Wang" loudly, and then drank the first glass of wine very simply!

After drinking the first glass of wine, the waiters and maids at the side rushed to refill the wine for everyone.

Li Shimin raised his cup again, looked at the crowd and said,

"This second cup of wine, I respect all the ministers and workers. The Tang Dynasty is now waiting for a new one, and it is the time to flourish and strive for the top. This is inseparable from the efforts and support of all the ministers and workers!"

"No matter how hard I try, I'm just one person after all. Whether it's implementing policies or opening up territories, after all, you love ministers will work hard in front of you!"

"So, for this second glass of wine, I respect all my lovers and lords, drink it to win!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone raised their glasses and drank at the same time.

After drinking this glass of wine, Li Shimin raised his glass again,

"Gentlemen, for the third cup of wine, we respect Datang! We respect the empire we built together. May Datang prosper and prosper, gentlemen, drink victorious!"

This was the shortest toast, but it was the one with the most enthusiastic response. Everyone, even those civil servants who were usually gentle and gentle, roared "Jing Tang" at this time, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Li Shimin's toast has been finished, so what's left is to eat, drink and chat with the common programs of the banquet!

Whether it was Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo who were sitting at the top, or the officials distributed in the hall, they all relaxed at this moment, either putting food in their mouths, or looking for someone to drink with wine glasses.

The majestic atmosphere that was still permeating the hall just now was immediately disturbed by the lively atmosphere of the banquet.

And Li Shimin, who was reciting the toast with an upright face just now, leaned towards Zhang Nuo without any image at this moment, and said in Zhang Nuo's ear with his shoulders crossed,

"Brother, I really envy you. In fact, what I want most right now is to go to Korea with you!"

"Even if I can't be the coach, it's fine to be your next vanguard. I can also charge forward and conquer the enemy!"

"In the end, don't you have to wait for news from you in this palace in the end? Sigh, being an emperor is really boring!"

Looking at Li Shimin with the expression "I don't want to be the emperor, but I can't help it", Zhang Nuo almost poured a glass of wine on his face, so I almost believed your ghost.

No one is forcing you to take the throne. Your elder brother and younger brother were killed by you, and your father was forced to abdicate by you. Right now, your father is still living next door to my house like a retired old man. Who is he trying to deceive with that helpless look on his face?

However, Zhang Nuo tried his best to endure it, not because Li Shimin was the emperor, but because he really felt the yearning contained in Li Shimin's seemingly indecent words.

Lao Li really wants to be a general who can charge into battle or a commander-in-chief who can command thousands of troops, not the emperor.

After all, as a commander who entered the army at the age of 14 and won many battles, Li Shimin's recognition of his status as a commander is probably much stronger than that of the emperor.

The titles of King Qin and Admiral Tiance were not given by Li Yuan at the beginning, but were obtained in exchange for his military exploits!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo smiled and turned to Li Shimin and said,

"Lao Li, are you stupid? Now that I'm fighting Korea, you have to sit in Chang'an to guard against Turks, but when I finish fighting Korea and we fight Turks, can't we go together?"

"At that time, Goryeo was gone anyway, who would dare to fight against Datang? If you want to conquer in person, as long as you can handle the imperial court!"

Li Shimin's eyes were brightened by Zhang Nuo's words, that's right, as long as he finished fighting Goryeo, who would dare to attack and assassinate the surrounding areas of Datang except the Turks?Who is worthy of Datang's full attention?

None of them are gone!

At that time, why can't he drive himself to conquer?

Could it be that Koryo has been defeated, who else would dare to assassinate Datang?I'm afraid the ashes will have to be raised for you.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was extremely excited. This damn is a godsend, and most importantly, when he first came to the throne, he was bullied by the Turks and came to the Weishui alliance.

In his opinion, this is a great shame and humiliation. Naturally, it is most enjoyable to avenge such hatred with one's own hands!

Now he remembered that when he met Jieli on the Weishui Bridge, Jieli's domineering look would make his teeth itch. If he meets him on the battlefield in the future, he must give this guy a hard time.

Li Shimin's mind was not on the banquet at the moment, and he wished that today he would be able to take the lead and lead the army to face that cub face to face.

Li Shimin really had a sense of urgency that he didn't want to wait for a moment. He looked at Zhang Nuo eagerly and said,

"My dear brother, hurry up and kill Gao Li, then I will be able to personally conscript Jie Li to settle the score, and then you will help supervise the country!"

Zhang Nuo quickly shook his head, thinking of something good,

"Don't even think about it! It's easy to kill Gao Li. If you don't say it, I'm going to kill Gao Li as quickly as possible. Who wants to stay there for a few years?"

"But I don't want to talk about the affairs of the prison country. I don't even care about the affairs of Lantian City. If many people don't understand, I would let go. You still want me to supervise the country? What good things are you thinking about!"

"Whether it's Chengqian or your father, these are ready-made candidates for supervising the country. One is the future emperor and the other is the former emperor. As long as the courtiers are arranged to assist and cooperate, supervising the country is not difficult! "

Li Shimin was overwhelmed by Zhang Nuo's words and didn't know how to answer it. This involves the issue of supervising the country, so it is so easy to solve?

Whether it is Cheng Qian or his father, they are all people who are closely related to his throne. If he thinks about it a little bit, wouldn't there be big problems?

It seems that we still have to think about it slowly!

Chapter 470 Hard march

Li Shimin's Zhuang Xing Banquet ended with Zhang Nuo getting unconscious and vomiting.

As the protagonist of the banquet, Li Shimin didn't let him go easily even if he was going to fight the next day.

Of course, I don't know if there was any retaliation caused by Zhang Nuo's refusal to supervise the country during his imperial conquest.

Anyway, Zhang Nuo didn't know anything, all he knew was that even if he woke up now, his mind would still be a mess like a mess.

I haven't been so drunk for a long time!

It used to be fine, even if the alcohol in Datang is the highest and strongest, it’s nothing more than that. It's absolutely fine.

But it's so hard to die, Zhang Nuo's first business after coming to Datang was brewing wine, and what's more interesting is that his only partner is Li Shimin who wants to force him to death.

Well, forty to fifty degrees of liquor, no matter how good your physical fitness is, no matter how amazing your drinking capacity is, you can't resist pouring one cup after another.

However, the most anxious person is not Zhang Nuo, but Cheng Yaojin!

The date of this expedition is not a joke, it is a good and auspicious day that the Huntian prison has already considered, so it must not be delayed.

Therefore, Cheng Yaojin, who couldn't wait for Zhang Nuo, went directly to Zhang's house and recited Zhang Nuo directly.

Xingben is going to the battlefield with Zhang Nuo this time.Originally, he was the captain of the cavalry guards next to Zhang Nuo, but now Zhang Nuo is obviously hungover, and he can't even walk steadily, so how can he ride a horse?

In the end, the few people discussed and simply stuffed Zhang Nuo into a luggage carriage, and Cheng Yaojin came forward and led the troops to set off.

So when Zhang Nuo finally woke up, clutching his head and yelling for water, he realized that he was not at home, but in a carriage.

This Nima is a bit outrageous, he still gets pecked by geese all day long!

It's a shame that Lao Zhang, who runs a restaurant, has a day when he is directly overwhelmed by someone at a banquet!

However, at this time, he could no longer be allowed to continue lying dead in the carriage. How could he be the coach? How could the coach ride in the carriage?

Zhang Nuo is still very stubborn on this point, and this is not only his point of view, but also the point of view of all the generals in the Tang Dynasty. Those who ride in the carriage during the march are either civil servants, wounded or family members.Otherwise, why don't you guys ride a horse alone?

Zhang Nuo didn't want to be judged as a weak chicken or a bitch when he just set out for the battle, which was a taboo for him to command an army.

As a result, Zhang Nuo, who was still buzzing in his head and his face was a little pale, slowly calmed down and began to run the exercises he practiced in his body slowly.

And as the exercises continued to operate, a strong smell of alcohol also emanated from Zhang Nuo's body.

The mediocre Zhang Nuo practiced simple exercises, then dissipated the alcohol accumulated in his body very normally, changed his clothes, put on his armor and walked out of the carriage.

Seeing Zhang Nuo's completely different face and energetic appearance, if Cheng Yaojin hadn't seen Zhang Nuo's dead fish before with his own eyes, he would really have thought that Zhang Nuo was just pretending.

Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qin has some secret recipe for hangover?

Cheng Yaojin suddenly came up with such an idea, and couldn't wait to get close to Zhang Nuo, asking with a wretched smile,

"His Royal Highness, can you give me a copy of your hangover prescription? Lao Cheng welcomes and sends you to him on weekdays. He is dragged to drink every day. It is really annoying, and his health is a bit too much. I hope Your Highness Help!"

Zhang Nuo stared dumbfounded at this idiot Cheng Yaojin, how shameless is he to speak so incoherently in front of his face.

Did Cheng Yaojin, the idiot, forget that he had known him for a day or two?

Has this idiot forgotten his nasty behavior of constantly pulling people to fight for wine, being reckless if he can't fight, and forcing people to pay if he fails?

To put it bluntly, in the entire Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin has the greatest alcohol addiction and the worst wine quality, which has almost become a consensus.

How thick-skinned it is to say that it is annoying to be dragged to drink.

Cheng Yaojin's scalp was a little numb when he was stared at by Zhang Nuo's silent and straight eyes, but when he thought that if he had a magical hangover prescription in his hand, he would definitely be able to be in Jiangmen's usual gatherings. He was invincible all over the world, and he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb and it didn't matter.

But Zhang Nuo couldn't fulfill his wish, he shrugged his shoulders and said,

"Forget it, don't even think about it, I'm not a hangover cure at all, let alone a prescription, it's purely because of my strong skills, I forcibly forced out the alcohol in my body!"

When Lao Cheng heard that the result turned out to be like this, he was immediately disappointed. It turned out that there was no cure for hangovers.

As for the exercise method to force alcohol, let alone Zhang Nuo, he can do it too. Nowadays, among the top generals, who has not practiced the inner strength method of self-cultivation, but the effect of forcing alcohol is not so good, so on weekdays Everyone here doesn't use it very much.

Seeing that Jiu Fangzi was hopeless, Cheng Yaojin was not discouraged, and turned around and introduced the situation after the departure.

And Zhang Nuo also rode on his own snow tread, and listened to Cheng Yaojin's explanation while driving forward.

For now, there is nothing to say about the departure of the army. The speed of the whole cavalry is naturally not comparable to that of the infantry. This is why the 20 troops were sent there first.

If you really want to set off together, it is obvious that the infantry will slow down the speed of the cavalry, so it is better to set off in batches.

What Zhang Nuo is discussing with Cheng Yaojin now is the place to stay during the march and the placement of the camp.

This is not a joke. The army is absolutely not allowed to enter the city without an edict, but they can get supplies in the relevant cities. Even though Zhang Nuo did not appear to be ordered to go out this time, Li Shimin still gave him the token and order for supplies.

But it is absolutely impossible to go to the city to rest, so the problem of setting up camp must be considered.

This is something that cannot be decided in advance. It can only be decided by the coach on the spot. After all, no one knows the road conditions and weather along the way in advance. If you accidentally delay, you have to change the camping location. This is very common during the march. Case.

Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Nuo were discussing while looking at the map while riding on horseback. They discussed the camping site along the marching route. They had to make arrangements in advance, and then they could arrange for the vanguard to report to the nearby cities and prepare for supplies. Row.

Chapter 471 The Vigilant Korean General

Naturally, Zhang Nuo's march could not be transported all the way by planes, trains, and cars like the marches of later generations. It is lucky to be able to ride on a horse.

You must know that the 20 people traveled from Guannei to Liaodong step by step!

However, even riding a horse, Zhang Nuo couldn't stand such a long journey every day, eating and sleeping in the open air.

This Nima was blown like a knife by the wind every day, and riding a horse with his legs crossed every day, and he was jolting every day. He felt that when he was lying in bed every day, his whole body was about to fall apart.

But whether it was him or the older Cheng Yaojin, no one had ever cried bitterness!

People need face, and no one else complained, so why should they complain, this face must be saved.

So, when you come and go and stare at each other to see who can't stand it first, the speed of the entire army increases instead.

This made Zhang Nuo and Cheng Yaojin, who knew the whole story, dumbfounded, but they thought it was worth it. The sooner they got to the place, the sooner they repaired, the sooner they finished their repairs, the earlier they started fighting, and the sooner they started fighting, they went home early.

Just as Zhang Nuo was on his way to Liaodong, a general Yang Wanchun came to Anshi City in Koryo.

Speaking of Yang Wanchun, he was a famous general in Goryeo. When the Great Sui conquered Goryeo three times, he was the commander-in-chief of Goryeo that made the Great Sui fall into the sand.

As a veteran, almost when Zhang Nuo's 20 people were first transferred to Liaodong, he asked for orders to come to the border to sit in charge.

No matter how those people in the Goryeo court slandered Datang's military strength, and kept saying nonsense that the early days of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to go to war with Goryeo, those troops definitely came here to guard against Goryeo's army.

Even if Yang Wanchun fought the Great Sui several times and won in the end, he did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and organized his army to prepare for war as soon as possible.
