Chapter 73 Celebrate

Sweat was seen on his confidant’s forehead: “The subordinates are not clear, but there are still heads on the report. The left side has also been sent to check it carefully. It is indeed the Huyan family’s anti-soldier.”

Battle exploits can be falsely reported, but the human head cannot be changed out of thin air. Liu Xuan was silent for a moment, then picked up the letter again and read it carefully. According to the battle report, Gaodu defender used the strategy of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain. First, he sent Taihang guards to the county government, pretending to be defeated by the rebels halfway, and then the remnants gathered, turned to the back, and cut the chaotic army food road. Eager to save food, the rebels were hit in an ambush and were all annihilated by the Jin army in the valley.

From a tactical point of view, this report shows no loopholes at all. After all, the rebellious soldiers are only rebellious soldiers, and they are not the main force of the Huns. They lack the guidance of generals. It is not surprising that a group of mobs encountered a general who could use the art of war. But Liu Xuan always felt something wrong in his heart.

When Hao San went to the party in a big fight, even Luzhou County was conquered, and the Jin Army in Bingzhou did not see anything. In the end, the chaotic bandits moved to Yongzhou before being wiped out by the local defenders. Hao San is just an ordinary farmer, who can still fight so vigorously, but now this group of rebels are from the Huyan family! No matter how stupid the Qianqi Commander was, his soldiers would not be so vulnerable.

The mansion of Qianqichang was smashed overnight, and two local tycoons were killed in three days. How could such a Huns cavalry be defeated by a little-known school lieutenant? Is it possible that he is a star in the world? !

and many more! Liu Xuan glanced at the line below, frowning and asked: “Why is Shenmen Liangfu also repaying the merits?!”

It turned out that after the battle report, it also specifically stated that thanks to the support of the county magistrate and the assistance of the Liang Mansion, it was able to defeat the rebellion so smoothly. It looked like a humble expression of merit, but Liu Xuan immediately awakened.

The confidant hurriedly said, “Liang’s Mansion is just west of Gaodu, not far away, so it should be a meritorious service. But…”

Just as he hesitated, Liu Xuan said sharply: “But what?!”

“However, some people say that this group of rebel soldiers offended the Buddha, and thunder came from the sky, which frightened the horses. Otherwise, how could a group of Jin troops defeat the four hundred cavalry…”

“Stupid!” Liu Xuan anger hammered on the table with a fist. What do these idiots think? Offended the Buddha? In the war, let alone the Buddha, even if the Buddha himself has come, he can’t stop the rebellion!

“Xianguo calmed down!” The confidant knelt on the ground immediately, “It is true that the left part is too close to the Liang Mansion, and it is inevitable that it will be affected. This is an unintentional statement…”

“Affected by it? What influence?”

“That… the white porcelain of Liang Mansion is very famous in the left part, and many nobles in the account have collection…” The confidant did not dare to say any more. Isn’t this also that Liu Xuan himself took the lead in creating momentum for the Buddha. If he hadn’t bought the Tibetan scripture paper first, how could those nobles want to collect artifacts from Liang’s mansion?

“Liang Mansion sells white porcelain?!” Liu Xuan was almost speechless. As far as he knows, no one can buy the white porcelain of the Liang Mansion even the Taiyuan family nowadays, so why is it on the left side instead?

“Not only is it sold, but the quantity seems to be quite a lot. It is said that the Qianqichang who was slaughtered this time bought white porcelain. Now on the left, a piece of ordinary white porcelain costs 100 pieces of cowhide plus 100 pieces of sheepskin. The price of the unique shape is even more…” He didn’t dare to hide it, and quickly poured out what he knew.

Liu Xuan’s lips trembled for a long time, his waist suddenly bowed, his face was pale, and he pressed his chest firmly with his hands.

“Xiangguo! Xiangguo!” His confidant jumped up in shock, “Quick! Come on! Xiangguo has a heart attack!”

Liu Xuan is over sixty years old, and his heart attack can be fatal! A bunch of servants immediately surrounded him, fed medicine and water, and it took a long time to let the old man relax.

A tired confidant beckoned, Liu Xuan gasped for a few rough breaths before he whispered: “You go to the Hu Yan’s house on the left, so that they can check the affairs of Bai Ci. Tell Hu Yanyou, if you dare to violate the account again. The Chinese ban, spending military supplies to buy these extravagant things, I will condemn him!”

The confidant nodded quickly: “The little one will go to Pingyang!”

“And…” Liu Xuan groaned for a moment, and continued, “Send some people to explore Gaodu. See if the fight against the bandits is what this good news said. If you find out something, don’t say anything and come back. Report it to me.”

He couldn’t overthrow this victory in any way. Not to mention that this is the merit of the Gaodu defenders, everyone is there, and Sima Teng is so happy, if he learns about it, he will definitely reward him. More importantly, this war must end as soon as possible. Liu Yuan is still in Yecheng. If Sima Ying hears about the changes in Bingzhou, she will definitely be more vigilant, saying that Liu Yuan has no hope of coming back all his life. Now that the dust has settled, the rebels can be easily annihilated by the Gaodu defenders, and those suspicions have faded. This is not a bad thing for the left Huns, but a good thing.

There is such a major premise that no matter what the facts are, this great report must be acknowledged. But what happened to Gaodu, he also has to figure it out! The Shangdang is the main link connecting the three states of Union, Si, and Wing. If you want to take Luoyang and Yecheng, you must pass the Shangdang! If a terrible figure like Liang Xi appeared in this place, how would they compete for the world? !

The sickly and handsome face came to mind again, and Liu Xuan clenched his fist fiercely. No matter what, he has to think about ideas, so that Liang Zixi can’t go any further!

“Captain, isn’t it a school parade today? Why don’t you let you carry a gun…” a man asked in a low voice.

Zhu Er coughed: “Maybe it was Lang’s shirt. So many people in the camp were injured, and it was inconvenient to get guns. You guys will dress me neatly. When the time comes, I will be more energetic. Don’t lose our face!”

In any case, this is the first time that Zhu Er has participated in the school review after serving as the head of the corps. The subordinates finally led the soldiers, even if they pretended to be sophisticated. However, I heard from Sun Shichang that this review is to be rewarded. It’s a big battle this time, and they should be able to get three-year exemption for all of them, right?

Feeling a little excited, Zhu Er straightened his clothes, and carefully checked the appearances of the soldiers below, before leading the team out of the barracks. At this moment, there were quite a few people on the school field, but the captains were all staring at them, and no one dared to whisper to each other, so they lined up. The auxiliary soldiers also arrived, densely lined up behind.

Zhu Er raised his head and led the team to the front row. Here is the formation of the main soldiers. Although most of the soldiers have injuries on their bodies and no guns in their hands, their aura is still much stronger than those of auxiliary soldiers. Standing still in the queue, Zhu Er carefully looked at the soldiers around him again, and he was relieved to make sure that they were all right.

At this time, the snare drum on the school field rang. Not dare to hesitate, Zhu Er straightened his shoulders immediately, staring at the front. The drum has sounded for more than 30 years, and when the drum is resting, it is not a whisper, even the sound of breathing has calmed down. In this solemn silence, the handsome young man in red climbed onto the platform.

Standing on the stage again, Liang Feng looked down with his hands. Compared with the thin formation during the last military parade, the array of this episode is obviously much thicker, and it begins to have a real military flavor. Those soldiers standing in the front are not only excited, they are more resolute and courageous, and they have murderous tenacity. Such a team, even if it is scarred, even if it has no weapons, does not affect its military might.

Looking around, Liang Feng said loudly: “This time in the canyon battle, Yongruiying won a big victory. All monarchs are people of merit!”

With just a word, Zhu Er’s heart immediately tightened. He was once taught the exercises. He thought he could get used to this kind of reward. However, when he heard the celestial and handsome landlord praise the brave soldier, he still made him tremble with excitement and he breathed heavily.

Liang Feng paused, his gaze stopped at the top of the audience, and he said: “The first achievement belongs to the battalion officer. The commander of battalion Yi is wise and courageous, and he is the first to kill the enemy, and he should be the second-class feat. ,You come.”

Yi Yan knew about today’s arrangements a long time ago, but hearing the lord’s call still made him red. Striding meteor, he boarded the high platform.

“This silver medal is the proof of your reward.” Liang Feng picked up a silver medal of merit from the table and pinned it to Yi Yan’s chest. “Everyone in Liang Mansion should remember your merits.”

Seeing that pair of slender and white hands pin the same white silver badge on his left chest, Yi Yan took a deep breath: “The lord’s kindness, don’t you dare to forget it!”

That voice resounded through the school field, everyone in the audience knew him, and it was him who practiced it alone, and it became what it is now. Seeing that their team is upright and their camp officers are so honored, everyone feels honored!

However, after Liang Feng awarded the medal, he did not stop. Instead, he turned and said to the people in the audience: “Except for Yi Yan, all those disabled due to injuries will be promoted to the second-class military service, exempt from ten years! Those who are all martyrs in our camp! If there are wives and children, the family is exempt from paying for 15 years. If there are no heirs, you can get an orphan and inherit the incense!”

These people have known about meritorious rewards for a long time, but when they heard the landlord say that there was a way of inheriting incense, everyone was red with excitement. The battle was difficult, but the landlord never forgot the wounded and dead soldiers. As long as there is such a care, how afraid to die! ?

“Thank you lord! lord is kind!”

I don’t know who yelled out first, and the other soldiers also yelled out at the same time. Called three times, the sound was thunderous.

Liang Feng stood on the stage and listened quietly to the shouts before speaking again: “In this battle, all the soldiers also have merit in killing the enemy and are exempt from taxes for three years. He won a third-class military medal.”

After all, he waved his hand, and several women came out, one of them was holding a tray, and the others were well-trained to take the small bronze medals on the plate, and put them on the left **** of these soldiers one by one. On the placket. Watching someone bring a medal is totally different from being awarded one. Immediately, there was a commotion among the soldiers. Many people flushed with excitement after seeing such a scene, and some even couldn’t help but bow their heads, wanting to see what other brands looked like on their chests.

Of course Zhu Er thought too, but he stood too far forward. If he bowed his head and lost his attitude, what should he do? Gritting his teeth, he could only hold his head high and let the girl hang the sign on his chest.

It only took less than a quarter of an hour for all the signs to be hung up. That team of female ladies retired graciously. However, the sergeants in the audience looked like a different one, and they were all in good spirits, and it was almost impossible to see that they had been injured!

Liang Feng said again: “There are rewards for the righteous soldiers, and also for the auxiliary soldiers. In this battle, your contributions are also not small. All of you have been promoted to the right soldiers and you can lead the field.”

After all, the training time of the auxiliary soldiers was relatively short, and there was a buzzing noise unexpectedly. Someone yelled: “Thank you Lord Master! Lord Lord is kind!”

The shouting sound is not neat, but the momentum is equally astonishing. Zhu Er stood in the front row and couldn’t help frowning, these guys just didn’t have any rules! It seems that you have to practice well!

Liang Feng didn’t stop him, and waited for the call to pause, before he said: “In the future, you will be merged into the regular soldiers, and you will also practice and fight like the regular soldiers. All the merits and all the fields will be exchanged desperately. If there is any escape from the battlefield. If there are women who commit adultery, cut them! If there are people who want to kill people, cut them! If there are private property owners, cut them! Your honor is like a badge on your chest, it is a military exploit and a magnificent feat of defending your homeland. Don’t let the banner above your head be ashamed!”

These four cuts are categorical. However, the people below did not flinch, nor were they afraid. Instead, their eyes lit up. They are not soldiers, nor are they humble people who are ridiculed and discriminated against. They have military flags on their heads, medals on their chests, and fields under their names. They are all private soldiers of the Liang family, with their own glory and dignity. This is far more important than possessions, far more important than pleasure!

Yi Yan replied loudly: “The lord is mighty! Brave and victorious!”

The soldiers below shouted in unison: “The lord is mighty! Brave and victorious!”

Looking at those extremely excited faces, Liang Feng gave a light high-five: “Goodness. Banquet!”

Following these words, more than a dozen servants ran out and quickly put their hands and feet on the table. The big barrels of wheat and rice, and the pots with the rich smell of meat were carried up.

After standing in the team for a long time, body fluid was born in many people. What is this? How can it be so sweet!

Liang Feng smiled: “These are all the horses you killed. Horses are auspicious things, and they also have loyalty and courage. These horse meat should add vitality to you and strengthen your physique. In addition to this banquet, every soldier can receive Twenty catties of horse meat, a buck. A year of hard work, this is the reward you deserve!”

Although Juntian exemption is a real income, it is a future income after all. But horse meat is different from rewarding money! That is an extra gift.

Seeing the excited gazes of everyone in the audience, Liang Feng stopped talking, and smiled: “Come in, let’s have a banquet.”

Even with the order, this group of soldiers accustomed to queuing up to receive the meal did not rush forward, but took their seats in order according to their position and team. Zhu Er Nayiwu sat at the fourth table, seeing a full bowl of rice in front of him, and the pot with fragrance was in the center of the table, from which everyone could scoop a spoonful of horse meat and pour it on the rice.

It’s a pity that there is only one large spoon. The waiting time at this point can drive people crazy. Many people couldn’t even care about the wine glass in front of them, and just stared at the pot fiercely. Finally it was Zhu Er’s turn. He rolled up his sleeves and dug a spoonful of it, and saw the red meat floating on the thick soup, as well as the white radish and black fungus. These are all good things that ordinary people can’t eat! Quickly pouring the soup on the rice, Zhu Er ignored the rest, picked up the wooden spoon and ate it.

How can this horse meat be so fat? ! The meat that has been sent down must be taken home for the lady to cook well! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, hurry up and have a bowl after eating!

Sitting on the stage, Liang Feng looked at the wine glass in his hand and couldn’t help but chuckle. It doesn’t take a toast to add to the fun, too, how can light wine compare to a large piece of braised horsemeat.

Turning to his side, he passed the wine glass in his hand in front of Yi Yan: “Will you drink it?”

“Yes!” Yi Yan took the wine glass with both hands and drank it in one fell swoop.

Looking at the other party’s red ears, Liang Feng smiled: “Fortunately, it’s light wine. Let’s eat first, and wait until the banquet is over, then come to see the officer candidates.”

Yi Yan nodded vigorously, but didn’t move his chopsticks right away. Instead, like Liang Feng, he poured a glass of wine and handed it up with both hands: “Master, I respect you.”

Those gray-blue eyes were shining like stars in the sky. Liang Feng could see the seriousness and expectation of the other party, but did not refuse, and took the wine glass. The soft low-alcohol wine flows down the throat, which is of course not as good as Wuliangye and Moutai, but drinking in the mouth is more refreshing than any famous wine.

After drinking it all, he reversed the empty cup and made a “drinking” posture like later life. Yi Yan’s face turned red. , Whispered: “Thank you, Lord.”

After saying this, he seemed to be shy, and ate the horse meat in the bowl.

Seeing Yi Yan’s gorging appearance, Liang Feng smiled. Leaning lightly on Pingji, he looked at the jubilant scavenging scene under the stage. What is there to be afraid of when people’s hearts are available?
