The first time in history

Chapter 88: The Sly Tuoba Yufeng

After sending the imperial envoy to the rear tent, He Yiran walked back to his commander's tent, where all the generals were waiting for him.

"Everyone." He Yiran looked around, and his eyes stayed on Qian Mingduo and Tuoba Yufeng for a while. He saw that one of them had a calm expression, while the other was smiling happily.

"Your Majesty has been so gracious and has commended our soldiers. I, He Yiran, dare not take credit for all the other generals' achievements." He looked at Tuoba Yufeng with contempt, and then said, "I did not ask for any credit for myself in the memorial I submitted to Your Majesty..." He paused for a long time and said slowly, "However, Your Majesty, considering that I am old and weak, has awarded me the first credit."

He Yiran suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "I am terrified and ashamed."

"General He is the commander of our army." Tuoba Yufeng said to the generals, "It is only natural that he gets this first achievement. Everyone, you are right..."

"Everyone!" He Yiran interrupted Tuoba Yufeng and sat down slowly. "The Imperial Envoy is tired from the journey. Please take a rest in the back tent. I and the generals will welcome you."

Tuoba Yufeng looked at He Yiran who was leaving his seat, and thought to himself: "You got the first credit, and I got the second. But Wen Yuxuan got nothing, which is not bad!"

He looked at Qian Mingduo, who was sitting opposite him and talking to the person next to him with a calm face. "Humph!" Tuoba Yufeng thought to himself: "No matter how aggrieved you are now, it's useless."

At the banquet, the lights were bright, and everyone was toasting each other. The atmosphere should have been warm and harmonious. However, Tuoba Yufeng's face was red, he was drunk, and there was a malicious light in his eyes.

He stood up shakily, pointed at Wen Yuxuan, and said loudly: "Wen Yuxuan, General Wen, look at yourself. His Majesty did not reward you for your contribution, and that's what you deserve! Who do you think you are? You are just a poor abandoned creature."

Qian Mingduo's face was calm, but his eyes were slightly cold. However, Tuoba Yufeng did not restrain himself, but became even more arrogant.

"Hmph, you still dare to put on airs in front of this general? What qualifications do you have? You are nothing but a loser, a waste who will never get up. Look at this general, so what if I have achieved a minor achievement? It is still much better than a good-for-nothing like you." Tuoba Yufeng spitted everywhere, and his words were full of contempt.

He looked around again and said proudly, "Look everyone, this is Wen Yuxuan, a self-righteous guy. He thinks that he can be appreciated by His Majesty just because he has some ability? It's just a daydream."

Qian Mingduo was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up. His eyes were firm and clear, and his voice was steady and powerful: "General Tuoba, you are drunk. Your words are just nonsense after drinking. I won't blame you."

Tuoba Yufeng laughed loudly, his face full of disdain: "I'm not drunk! I'm telling the truth. You, Wen Yuxuan, are a loser, someone who will never be as good as me."

Qian Mingduo smiled slightly and said slowly: "General Tuoba, merit is not the only criterion for measuring a person. I, Wen Yuxuan, fight for the country and the people, and I have a clear conscience. And you, for your own selfish reasons, humiliate others here, your behavior is truly ugly."

Tuoba Yufeng's face darkened, and he was about to get angry, but Qian Mingduo continued, "Your Majesty is wise, and the public will judge your merits and demerits. What you did today will only let Your Majesty and everyone see your true colors. Do you think you can keep being so proud?"

Wen Yuxuan continued, "General Tuoba, we are all people who serve the country. We should unite as one instead of attacking each other. I hope you can reform yourself in the future and not do such irrational things again."

"How dare you preach to me." Tuoba Yufeng threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and wanted to come over to fight with Qian Mingduo, but was stopped by several generals around him.

"What are you doing?" He Yiran looked at the imperial envoy sitting next to him, only to see him sipping his wine expressionlessly. "Today, I am hosting a banquet in my tent to express my gratitude for the imperial envoy's long journey. I am not hosting this banquet for you to curse at each other and upset the imperial envoy."

"If you guys want to make trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law." He Yiran raised his glass, stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone, let's toast to the Imperial Envoy together."

"Thank you, General He and all the generals." The imperial envoy also stood up, raised his glass and said, "I am here under the order of the emperor to reward the soldiers of the three armies. I hope that all the soldiers will work together to protect the territory of the Great Wei and the people of the Great Wei. Everyone, please!"

"Please, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy," the generals raised their glasses together and drank them all in one gulp.

Tuoba Yufeng looked at Qian Mingduo viciously, drinking wine in big gulps. The humiliation at the Feiyu military camp gate had always been on his mind.

After drinking a glass of wine with He Yiran, the imperial envoy raised his glass and said to Tuoba Yufeng: "General Tuoba, you are a member of the current royal family, but you have fought bravely on the battlefield and made many military achievements. It is not easy. Come on, I'll toast you a glass."

"Ha, ha, ha... Thank you, Lord Jin." Tuoba Yufeng stood up with a wild laugh, holding the wine glass and walked to the imperial envoy. He bowed slightly to the imperial envoy, and they both drank it all in one gulp at the same time.

"Mr. Jin." Tuoba Yufeng addressed the imperial envoy as Mr. Jin, which also showed everyone that he had a special relationship with the imperial envoy. "Although you are a civilian in the court, I know that you have the title of General Lijie."

"Ha, ha, ha!" the imperial envoy laughed, "Such an insignificant title is not worth mentioning!"

"Oh... I didn't know that the Imperial Envoy also has this military title?" He Yiran was also quite surprised.

"This is the grace of His Majesty and the protection of our ancestors!" the imperial envoy said modestly, but his words revealed an undisguised pride and arrogance.

Despite his humble words, he was actually very pleased with the honor he received and regarded it as a supreme gift.

"General He." Tuoba Yufeng said, "Since Lord Jin has a military rank, why don't you ask Lord Jin to review our army? Perhaps after Lord Jin has reviewed our army, he can give General He some advice, which may be helpful to our army's construction."

"This..." He Yiran glared at Tuoba Yufeng, "Please ask the imperial envoy to inspect our army tomorrow."

"That's impossible." The imperial envoy refused. "I have to go back to the capital to report to the emperor. I dare not waste time!"

"Alas..." Tuoba Yufeng said, "Master Jin, since General He has invited you, you cannot refuse. You will review our army tomorrow morning!"

For someone who can review the army, it is an honor, a supreme honor. So the imperial envoy no longer refused.

"Lord Jin." Tuoba Yufeng first gave the imperial envoy a chance to show off his power and win his favor. What he was going to say next was his main purpose.

He looked back at Qian Mingduo and said to the imperial envoy, "There is a Feiyu Army in my army." He leaned close to the imperial envoy's ear and said, "This army is composed of beautiful women. Your Excellency, why don't you ask the general in charge of the Feiyu Army... to select a few beautiful women to perform a song and dance for you to entertain you. They can even accompany you after the banquet!"
