Chapter 604 Banquet
"Two hundred thousand pairs of talents?" Liu Bei's eyes showed deep surprise.
Although we know that these barbarian soldiers cannot have the same organizational ability as the Han army soldiers, their strength is definitely surprising.
Strength is strength, even if it has flaws it is still strength.
At least one thing is certain: they will never be at a disadvantage in a small-scale battle.
"The most powerful ones are my Barbarian King's Guards, my wife's Fire Dragon Soldiers, Wu Tu Gu's Elite Soldiers in Rattan Armor, and King Mu Lu's Fearless Elephant Soldiers!"
"Specific strength..." Meng Huo was in a dilemma. For a moment, he really couldn't find a suitable benchmark for comparison.
However, Liu Bei and others knew clearly that the soldiers selected based on the double-talented soldiers were undoubtedly the Imperial Guards.
The barbarians have not established a country, so they should not have a military spirit, so it should be the Royal Guards.
"Such truly powerful strength, no wonder Southern Xinjiang has been difficult to pacify since ancient times, this strength is truly astonishing!"
Liu Bei thought silently that only after coming to southern Xinjiang did he realize how powerful the people Meng Huo mentioned were.
More importantly, there are many mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang, and the large army cannot form a battle formation. It would be difficult to fight against the barbarians in a small-scale battle.
Especially after the barbarians are broken up into small groups, their combat effectiveness can be exerted to the maximum.
Confident, Liu Bei stopped asking questions and started drinking with Meng Huo. When Liu Bei was young, he was also a good dog walker and cockfighter, so drinking was no problem for him.
There was a banquet being held in the rear, and naturally there was also a banquet being held in the front. After all, the Kushan counterattack would take time, and they had just won a glorious victory, so naturally they had to hold a banquet to celebrate.
Brach and the other two were naturally invited to the banquet. Although it was not a humiliation, the three of them were still extremely bitter.
This is just like repeating a grade and then being invited to someone else's graduation banquet. It's really hard to bear.
However, they did not refuse and came to the banquet. They were still full of curiosity about the Han Empire.
"Dear General Guan, thank you for your invitation!"
Because Brahe was defeated by Guan Yu in a head-on battle, he had special respect for Guan Yu.
Military generals naturally admire the strong. Those who can defeat them with ease are naturally the objects of their respect.
"You're welcome, Commander Brahe!"
Guan Yu was very satisfied with the other party's respect and made a gesture of invitation.
However, Brach still signaled Guan Yu to go first, obviously admiring Guan Yu from the bottom of his heart.
As for Zhang Ren who captured him, he didn't feel anything at all and was wholeheartedly admiring Guan Yu.
After the two sides greeted each other, they started drinking.
Although Brach and the other three were in Nangui, they were also descendants of the Great Yuezhi, so they did not refuse at all.
It was so relaxing to clink glasses at the banquet.
Once the atmosphere was right, everyone naturally started chatting, and Guan Yu, the protagonist of the banquet, was naturally the object of everyone's bragging.
Zhang Ren ran over and started chatting with Brach. He really couldn't stand the naked flattery of those officers. There was really no technical content at all, but they were just flattering him.
He clearly picked up some heads, but he has been praised to the sky, almost like the reincarnation of Huo Qubing. It doesn't make sense.
"Come, come, come. On the battlefield before, I relied on my numbers to shoot you. We didn't get a good fight. Come, I'll punish myself with a jar of wine!"
Zhang Ren ran to Brach with a jar of wine and was about to drink one as punishment.
"The battlefield was no joke at that time. If we lost, we lost. If you won, you won!" Brach shook his head and picked up the jar of wine on the table. Instead of letting Zhang Ren punish himself, he clinked the jar and drank from it.
"Speaking of which, your strength is indeed quite good, and you are definitely better than me. Your martial arts skills have declined a lot over the years. If my master encounters you, he will definitely scold me!"
Zhang Ren said with a wry smile that he was not afraid of Brahe, but if a real fight came up, he seemed to be no match for Brahe. It was a life-and-death fight between the two sides, and the chances were only fifty-fifty.
"My martial arts skills are not worth mentioning. Compared with General Guan, they are nothing!" Brach said with a sneer.
He really felt that he was trash. He couldn't even handle Guan Yu's aftermath and didn't even have the courage to face Guan Yu.
"Hahaha, General Guan is one of the strongest people in my Han Dynasty. You are naturally no match for him!" Zhang Ren said with a smile.
Compared with a pervert like Guan Yu, you are just asking for trouble.
He has realized this truth ever since Zhao Yun was able to fight against him and Zhang Xiu together when he was a child.
Brach was stunned when he heard this.
" General is a god in the world. He is definitely one of the strongest in our country, and some of them are not even officers."
"Uh, is there anyone in your country who can compare with General Guan?" Zhang Ren's heart sank, as if he knew some extraordinary information.
"Of course, although General Guan has reached the limit of the realm of gods and Buddhas, there are still people in my country who can compare with General Guan." Brach wanted to restore some face for the Kushans.
"Ganar and Arjuna are both the strongest men of our Kushan, and there are also some true bodies of gods and Buddhas in seclusion. They should be as powerful as General Guan." He hurriedly brought out several strong men of their Kushan to show off.
But after hesitating for a moment, he admitted it.
"But these are not officers, and none of them can compare to General Guan!"
"Among the officers, only General Rahul and General Arvind should be able to suppress General Guan!"
"Ganar, Arjuna, Rahul, Arvind." Zhang Ren silently memorized these names.
These people are obviously the top figures of Kushan. It would be great if we could collect some intelligence from them.
"Come to think of it, it seems that many officials of the Han Dynasty were blessed by gods!" Brach felt that he couldn't continue the conversation, so he changed the subject.
"God's gift?" Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows. What on earth was this?
"Oh, I remember it was called Legion Talent before. I've gotten used to it over the years and can't change it!" Brach was stunned for a moment, then explained.
"Well, legionary talent is the first criterion for becoming an officer in our Han Dynasty. Basically, officers who lead troops independently have legionary talent." Zhang Ren nodded.
Brach couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. This was the Han Empire. It was too outrageous that everyone had a gift from God.
"Of course this is not the only criterion, you see!" Zhang Ren looked around and motioned Brach to look at Wei Yan.
"He also has the talent for a military unit, but he has not yet gained the qualifications to lead an army independently. He can only learn from General Guan's experience."
"Could he be General Guan's son? He looks so similar!"
Brach was horrified. Wei Yan and Guan Yu had the same demeanor and appearance, which made him shocked.
"Of course not... this..."
Zhang Ren was about to deny it, but suddenly he became confused. These two people did have some similarities, and he couldn't figure out their relationship for a moment.
He also thought that Guan Yu and Wei Yan seemed to have never explained it.
"Haha, drink, drink"
Zhang Ren twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said repeatedly that he really didn't dare to say anything casually about this.
