Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty greatly rewarded the meritorious soldiers. King Yang Guang of Jin and King Yang Jun of Qin both received fiefs. Yang Su was promoted to the title of Duke of Ying. Han Qinhu and He Ruobi were promoted to Duke of Ying. At this time, they were also granted food towns.

Shi Wansui, the deputy general under Han Qinhu's camp, was promoted to Shangkaifu, and King Li Yao was promoted to Kaifu.

Yang Jian left Chen's empress dowager and empress in the palace, and the remaining emperors, grandsons, concubines, and concubines were rewarded to the princes and princes in the name of female concubines.

The princes who had received the reward had a banquet with each other, and the city of Chang'an was filled with celebrations.

On this day, Duke Shen Guohan hosted a banquet for guests at Han Qinhu's Mansion. Princes who had made great contributions to the cause, such as Yang Su, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Li Yaowang, etc. were all present. Li Yaoshi and Li Keshi were also among them.

During the banquet, Yang Su highly praised Han Qinhu's achievements. Han Qinhu was also quite proud of himself and took out the commendatory edict issued by the emperor when he made him the Duke of Shen State to show to others.

Yang Su took the edict and read it aloud: "The power of the state spread over thousands of miles, and the dynasty was reduced to a corner, so that people in the southeast were all in trouble. Hundreds of years of thieves, and ten days of clearing it out. This is the merit of the public."

Yang Su shook his head, and while reading the edict, he praised Han Qinhu: "The emperor also knows that Master Han actually played the leading role in the battle between Chen and Chen. Master Han took the lead in attacking Jiankang City and captured Master Chen. If not for this, I would still be trapped in

Jiangxia, there is no way to cross the river!"

Shi Wansui and the Li brothers were either Han Qinhu's subordinates or nephews. They were naturally happy to hear Yang Su praise Han Qinhu so well.

Although Han Qinhu was proud in his heart, he could not help but say a few words of humility: "In the Battle of Pingchen, Mr. Yang, the King of Jin and the King of Qin were both marching commanders, commanding from the center, and Han was just the vanguard. If Mr. Yang and the two princes had not been loyal to the country,

Despite his good military control, Han was unable to cross the river smoothly and invade Jiankang. Mr. Yang’s compliments are unworthy of Han’s words!”

Yang Su smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Master Han is too modest! Master Han said that he would surrender Chen Guo's fierce generals and capture Jiankang without losing a single soldier. The so-called "soldiers who subdue others without fighting" are the strategists'

That’s the best thing to do.”

As he spoke, he raised his glass to toast Han Qinhu.

Han Qinhu drank the wine and replied to Yang Su: "Master Yang, thank you for your praise. Master Yang and the two princes are in charge of the central army, and they are in command. Han is just acting according to Master Yang's military orders."

Yang Su drank the wine and said with a smile: "I think that when Master Han captured Jin Yong, he also said that he surrendered the enemy's generals and defeated the enemy's troops without fighting. Master Han is well versed in the military arts of Sun and Wu, and I admire him very much!"

Han Qinhu once participated in the Northern Zhou Dynasty's attack on the Northern Qi Dynasty. He also said that he surrendered the Northern Qi garrison and captured Jin Yong City without any bloodshed.

Jinyong City is located northwest of the old city of Luoyang in the Han and Wei dynasties. After the Sima family usurped the Wei Dynasty, this was the secluded residence of the abandoned emperor.

Although Yang Suzhi's words were in line with the wishes of the generals in Han Qinhu's camp, not everyone at the dinner table thought so.

In the Battle of Pingchen, He Ruobi and Han Qinhu were both vanguards. He Ruobi arrived in Jiankang earlier than Han Qinhu. He fought hard in Dongcheng, captured Xiao Maha, and defeated Ren Mannu.

Unexpectedly, his defeated general surrendered to Han Qinhu, allowing him to enter Jiankang first and win the first victory. He Ruobi was already very angry.

At this time, Yang Su praised Han Qinhu again, and He Ruobi heard it, especially when he heard it.

It's just that Yang Su is in a high position and the Holy Family is in the ascendant, so He Ruobi can't contradict him, so he can only drink wine silently.

However, Yang Su did not allow him to be silent. He pointed to the imperial edict and said: "The emperor's imperial edict also said that Lord Han's merits are 'his great fame is blocked in the universe, and his great achievements are shining in the sky and earth. He listened to the ancients and rarely heard of them.

’. In my opinion, Mr. Han’s achievements are not only rare among the ancients, but also difficult for people today to match.”

As he spoke, he turned towards He Ruobi and asked: "Master He Ruo, do what I say make sense?"

He Ruobi was from the Xiongnu tribe of Mobei. His compound surname was He Ruo and his single name was Bi, so Yang Su called him "Master He Ruo".

He Ruobi was already filled with anger, but when he heard Yang Su's words, he could no longer bear it and said angrily: "Sir Yang, outside Jiankang City that day, if not for the bloody battle of the lower officials, Chen Guo's 100,000-strong army would have been contained.

Outside the east city gate, how can Mr. Han easily enter the city from the south gate? Although these military exploits of Xiaguan are not in the eyes of Mr. Yang, they have been praised and commended by the Holy Edict. Mr. Yang is so generous to others but not to others, but he thinks that the Holy Lord

Is the reward given to a lower official excessive?"

After saying this, he left the table and walked away angrily.

Seeing such a scene, most of the people at the table had no intention of drinking.

Although Han Qinhu reluctantly ordered the music and dance to continue playing, he could not enjoy the feast as much as he wanted.

Yang Su was the only one who showed no signs of embarrassment and spoke and laughed freely at the table. He did not leave until the end of the table.

After the officials and guests dispersed, only Han Qinhu's trusted generals remained in the mansion.

At this time, Shi Wansui said: "Master He Ruo left the table and made the whole house unhappy. It is really disrespectful."

He looked quite unhappy.

Han Qinhu said: "Lord He Ruo is generous and high-spirited. When marching and fighting, he is accustomed to using force to defeat the enemy and not trying to outwit him. Therefore, even if he wins, his own side will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties. He saw that I can achieve military success without fighting bloody battles.

Naturally, I was dissatisfied. Today Mr. Yang has repeatedly praised me, so it’s no wonder that he couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to leave."

King Li Yao said: "Master Yang knew that Master He Ruo was unhappy, but he repeatedly pushed important people in front of Master He Ruo during the banquet today, which made Master He Ruo unbearably angry."

Han Qinhu said: "Yes. So what happened today cannot be entirely blamed on Lord He Ruo."

Shi Wansui asked curiously: "So, does Mr. Yang actually intend to anger Mr. He Ruo? Why does Mr. Yang want to anger Mr. He Ruo?"

He thought for a long time and found out something: "If Sir He Ruo left in anger, the person he resented must be you, not Mr. Yang."

Han Qinhu nodded slowly: "Yes, that's exactly it."

Shi Wansui's angry face appeared, and he was about to speak, but Han Qinhu stopped him and said: "General Shi, we have been training in Luzhou for nine years, and finally the whole army returned victorious, and everyone was promoted to a high rank.

It is rare. Our army achieved its first victory without losing any blood. If Lord He is dissatisfied, can Lord Yang be willing to do so?"

He looked at Shi Wansui and said in a deep voice: "Now we are in the temple, but it is no better than training troops in the front. In the front, there are two armies facing each other, and the enemy and ourselves are clear; but in the court, everyone is on their own, and people's hearts are unpredictable. We must win
