At this moment, inside the capital city of Shangjing.

The news of Marquis Longxiang's great victory at the Chishui River had already spread like wildfire.

Many simple and honest Liang people were overjoyed upon hearing the news of the Liang army's victory, dancing with joy.

[Tianfu Restaurant] was the most bustling restaurant on Wusheng Street in Shangjing, the capital of Great Liang.

It was now the You hour of dusk.

The restaurant was filled with diners wearing excited expressions.

"Boss, quickly bring the wine! I heard that our Liang army had a great victory at the Chishui River, this old man must drink a large cup to celebrate."

"That's right, that's right, Marquis Longxiang's great victory at the Chishui River, this calls for a drink."

Just then, someone in the restaurant's main hall shouted.

"Esteemed guests, please be quiet for a moment."

"This old man has something to say."

The diners turned their heads to look and discovered that the speaker was none other than Manager Qi of Tianfu Restaurant.

"Manager Qi, what's the matter?"

The customers were puzzled and naturally asked one after another.

Manager Qi's face was full of smiles, and he used his hand to suppress the noise in the restaurant, continuing to say.

"I have good news to tell you esteemed guests."

"Just now, a few military officers came to eat, and when I asked, they were indeed the heroes from the Longxiang Army who delivered the victory report."

"What kind of person is Old Qi? I respect heroes the most."

"So, I waived their wine bill, but only asked them for one thing."

"That is, to have these heroes tell our esteemed guests how they defeated the 30,000 Tiele soldiers at the Chishui River."

"Esteemed guests, what do you say, is that alright!?"

Upon hearing these words.

The guests up and down the restaurant naturally shouted "Good!" in unison.

For a time, cheers resounded through the restaurant.

Earlier, the Longxiang Army's messengers had entered the city, shouting about the Liang army's great victory, causing a city-wide sensation.

What frightened the Liang people even more was the news of Tiele bandits raiding the borders from the north from time to time.

Today they slaughtered several villages, tomorrow they killed many Liang people.

The people of Great Liang lived in constant fear of the Tiele people.

Therefore, the Liang people desperately craved a heartening victory.

They longed for Great Liang to produce a hero who could defeat the Tiele people.

Today, the victory report brought by the Longxiang messengers had already spread throughout the city.

Some were excited, some shook their heads in disbelief, and more were skeptical.

The owner of Tianfu Restaurant was extremely shrewd.

He sent his waiters to find the Longxiang Army's messengers in the city.

Saying that he had heard of the great victory at the Chishui River, and he admired the Longxiang Army very much, and wanted to invite the officers to drink.

But he had a request, which was to talk about the course of the great victory in the restaurant.

Before the messengers of the Longxiang Army came, they were already tasked with making the Longxiang Army famous in Shangjing.

The two sides naturally hit it off.

After the restaurant owner publicized the news, it really attracted countless diners.

At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of [Tianfu Restaurant].

Waiters shuttled back and forth, setting up a table of fine wine and delicacies.

Several soldiers in Longxiang Army armor sat around in a circle.

The leader of the messengers was Zheng Biao, one of Marquis Longxiang's personal guards.

This man was not tall, with a shrewd face, and a face full of smiles.

The reason for choosing him as a messenger was because this Captain Zheng Biao was usually eloquent and had excellent speaking skills.

He had already received instructions from Marquis Longxiang to do his best to make the Longxiang Army famous in Shangjing.

Today was great, not only did he and his brothers get a table of wine for free, but he could also take the opportunity to complete the Marquis's instructions.

He was naturally very satisfied in his heart.

Looking at the expectant gazes of countless guests up and down the restaurant.

Zheng Biao first stood up, picked up a wine glass, and respectfully toasted everyone around him, then spoke loudly.

"Everyone wants to hear how our Longxiang Army greatly defeated the Tiele people."

"Then I will make a fool of myself and tell everyone present about this great battle at the Chishui River."

It must be said that this Zheng Biao really had some eloquence.

Under Zheng Biao's rather infectious narration.

The diners in the restaurant were all engrossed.

It seemed that the battlefield of the Chishui River, with its iron and blood battles, really appeared before their eyes.

Those Tiele soldiers who were shot into hedgehogs under Li Yuan's ingenious deployment seemed to really appear before their eyes.

When they heard that Li Yuan had modified the iron carts and used the mountain slopes to smash thousands of Tiele elite guards into powder.

Excited cheers even erupted up and down the restaurant.

Even the restaurant owner on the side praised loudly.

"This Lieutenant Li is truly a divine person."

The core figure in Zheng Biao's narration of the great battle at the Chishui River was not actually Bai Jing, the commander of the Liang army, Marquis Longxiang.

But an unknown Lieutenant Li.

This was quite unexpected for the diners in the restaurant.

In fact, this was also Marquis Longxiang's arrangement, just to make Li Yuan famous in Shangjing.

As for the purpose, of course, it was to facilitate the request for a noble title for Li Yuan.

Zheng Biao smiled slightly and continued to say to the people around him.

"If you think that Lieutenant Li only has this little ability, then you are underestimating him too much."

The diners all looked at each other, was there anything more shocking than this?

Zheng Biao took a sip of turbid wine and asked deliberately mysteriously.

"Have you ever heard of the Tiele people's Tiger-Slaying Warriors?"

Several knowledgeable diners quickly chimed in.

"Of course I've heard of them. It is said that the Tiele people's Tiger-Slaying Warriors have the courage to withstand ten thousand men."

"It is said that each Tiger-Slaying Warrior has killed at least hundreds of enemy heads."

"I also heard that to obtain the title of Tiger-Slaying Warrior, one must be able to enter the mountains alone and hunt a tiger."

Many diners who heard the legend of the Tiger-Slaying Warriors for the first time showed horrified expressions.

These Tiele people's Tiger-Slaying Warriors were so fierce.

At this time, Zheng Biao sneered and then said leisurely.

"To be honest, the Tiele people's Tiger-Slaying Warriors are indeed powerful."

"I remember one night, the Tiele people sent a Tiger-Slaying Warrior leading hundreds of elites to sneak attack our Liang army camp."

"Thousands of our Liang army soldiers rushed forward one after another, but no one could stop this Tiele man."

"Seeing that the Tiele people were about to kill their way into our Liang army's central army camp."

"At this moment, our Lieutenant Li, alone on horseback, holding a long spear, faced this Tiele Tiger-Slaying Warrior and charged forward."

Speaking of this, Zheng Biao deliberately paused and then took another beautiful sip of turbid wine.

At this time, the surrounding diners were attracted by the story and asked with eager eyes.

"Then... this military officer, did Lieutenant Li defeat this Tiger-Slaying Warrior?"

Zheng Biao saw that the atmosphere was almost set off, so he raised his head and said.

"That's natural, that Tiele Tiger-Slaying Warrior thought that Lieutenant Li was just an ordinary soldier, so he wanted to kill Lieutenant Li casually."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as the two sides fought, he discovered that Lieutenant Li's strength was even greater than his, and his martial arts were even higher than his."

"Frightened, this Tiger-Slaying Warrior turned around and wanted to escape, but how could our Lieutenant Li let him go."

"I saw Lieutenant Li urge his horse forward and stab this Tiele Tiger-Slaying Warrior off his horse with one spear!"

Hearing that Lieutenant Li was so powerful, the surrounding diners showed excited and yearning expressions.

Of course, some people had disdainful expressions, thinking that this was just a story fabricated by the soldiers.

But it didn't matter, because the story Zheng Biao told was very exciting, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became more and more heated.

At this time, someone asked eagerly.

"Military officers, didn't you say that our Liang army won a great victory over the Tiele people? And beheaded 27,000!"

"Is this really true?"

Zheng Biao's expression became even more proud upon hearing this.

"Of course it's true, and let me tell you in detail."

So, under the focused listening of all the diners.

Zheng Biao told the story of Li Yuan's clever plan to lure the Tiele soldiers into the ambush circle of Hulu Pass, adding embellishments.

Of course, in order to protect military secrets, Zheng Biao also concealed many details and added more storytelling.

The diners heard that the Liang army, under the command of Lieutenant Li Yuan.

Had besieged tens of thousands of Tiele people in Hulu Pass, cutting off their water and food and attacking day and night.

Finally, they beheaded 27,000 and captured 3,000 alive.

They even killed the Tiele commander, Sangdu.

Allowing the 30,000 Tiele army to be completely annihilated.

Whether it was the diners or the restaurant staff, they were all filled with disbelief and sighed endlessly.
