Invincible son

Chapter 114 113 [Answer]

On the tenth day of October, there is a saying in the almanac that stinging insects are salty.

Ten li away from Chen Guan Town, banners are flying and horses are neighing.

Three thousand elite cavalry from the Beijing camp were waiting in line, the first row of tall horses, the ones in the middle were the Duke Wei Guogong of Daliang and Wang Pingzhang, Zuo Junji of Xifu.

On his left hand is Guangping Hou Guliang, and on his right is an eunuch with a gentle demeanor in the year of destiny.

On both sides are the commanders and envoys of the guards of the Beijing camp, and everyone has a happy face.

A few days ago, a good news came from the mountain. After Wang Pingzhang sent people into the mountain for inspection, he personally went to the palace to report to the emperor. The news that spread immediately shocked the entire capital.

The Jingying sent two soldiers and horses into the mountain to suppress the bandits. They attacked back and forth and killed more than [-] enemies and destroyed the bandits' lair in just two days.Although there are still some things to deal with in the follow-up, such as arresting the leader of the thief, clarifying the topography of the mountains to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, appeasing the suffering people in the periphery of Kyoto, etc., the thief problem that has plagued everyone for more than half a year is finally resolved, which is undoubtedly a happy event worth celebrating .

The people in Kyoto thought that His Majesty the Emperor was wise and that Wang Pingzhang was able to command well. They seemed to have forgotten how they had slandered the Beijing camp before.

But for the civil and military officials in the court, especially those nobles who have a better understanding of the internal affairs of the army, they know more details.

The name of Pei Yue, the concubine of Dingguo, finally spread to their ears in a positive manner.

The west camp rushed forward and fell into the ambush circle of the bandits. If the soldiers from the south camp hadn't arrived in time, their fate would be unpredictable.The reason why Nanying was able to sneak around behind the thief was because of Pei Yue's strategy and preparation.Not only that, the young man also proposed the method of using elite soldiers to surprise the thieves.

It is said that the family member of Dingguo Mansion who had resigned from his title due to his illness broke a dozen or so precious porcelain bottles excitedly on the spot after hearing the news.

Not to mention how frustrated Pei Rong was, Emperor Kaiping was delighted after hearing the good news. Not only did Wang Pingzhang personally lead the generals of the Beijing camp and [-] cavalry to greet him, but he also sent a chief of the inner prison to convey his praise.

Under the command of Li Jin, more than [-] elites of the Beijing camp appeared at the end of the road. The western camp was severely damaged in this battle, with more than [-] people killed and hundreds injured.The soldiers of the West Camp had solemn faces, and they were somewhat ashamed. After all, compared with the record of the South Camp, they were completely defeated.

As for Chang Si, after the first battle in the Rift Valley, the Commander-in-Chief returned from illness, and now he should be by the side of Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng.

No matter what, he could not escape the guilt of failing to command. As for the final punishment, it depends on whether Li Bingzhong is willing to help him make things right.

Pei Yue didn't choose to show off at this time. He was with Qin Xian Xue Meng, just like an ordinary soldier, but his figure was a little eye-catching against the strong and burly soldiers of the Beijing camp around him.

When the two sides met, Li Jin came to salute Wang Pingzhang, and then began to report the results of the battle.

After Wang Pingzhang finished listening, he encouraged him, and then the head of the internal prison, Xuan Dasheng, gave an oral instruction.

In addition to the verbal rewards, Emperor Kaiping also asked Wang Pingzhang to report the battle process as soon as possible, and the imperial court will naturally reward him.

This made the soldiers very excited. They didn't expect to get a title, but most of them would be able to rise in the official position. In addition, silver rewards were also a common practice in Daliang.

The welcome ceremony was very grand and the atmosphere was very warm.

After the eunuch finished his oral order, Wang Pingzhang glanced at the elites of the Beijing camp, and asked in a calm voice, "Where is Pei Yue?"

Pei Yue came out in response, came to the front of the formation and saluted: "The boy has met Wei Guogong."

Wang Pingzhang looked at the more stable face of the young man, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, and said in a gentle tone: "You are the first to offer advice, and the second is to go to the mountains. Your Majesty is very pleased with it. But now you are still young, and a hasty promotion may affect your future, so I will not grant you an official position for the time being. Pei Yue, Your Majesty loves you, do you understand?"

Pei Yue cupped his hands and bowed his head and said: "What the boy did was just to fulfill his duty as a member of the Great Liang, and he dare not take credit for this battle."

Wang Pingzhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty will not forget your contribution. There will be a big reward in a few days, and you will never let your hard work go to waste."

Pei Yue replied calmly: "Yes."

The Beijing camp generals beside Wang Pingzhang looked at Pei Yue, who was only 14 years old, and inevitably felt jealous while admiring him.

When they were 14 years old, they were still learning martial arts at home, and most of them were over 20 years old when they took the lead in the army, but now they are compared by a bastard.

The most important thing is that this bastard has won the favor of His Majesty the Emperor at a young age. What could be more enviable than this kind of thing?
Gu Liang on Wang Pingzhang's left had a gentle and gratified smile on his face, until the end of the welcome ceremony when he took Pei Yue back to South Day Camp, this smile often surfaced, making Pei Yue a little embarrassed.

In the evening, there were only Gu Liang and Pei Yue in the big tent of the Chinese army, and no one was allowed to come within [-] steps of the big tent.

There is a pair of high-class mats in the tent, which is rarely seen in the South Camp, because Gu Liang has always set an example in the army, and there are very few such extravagant situations.

Seeing that Pei Yue's expression was quite peaceful, Gu Liang asked curiously: "Brother Yue, don't you want to know what His Majesty will reward you?"

Pei Yue helped Gu Liang fill a glass of wine, and said calmly, "It should be a title?"

Gu Liang smiled and said, "Viscount."

Pei Yue was a little surprised.

He knew that Daliang's titles were divided into nine ranks from the Duke of the State to the Baron. Although he did make some efforts, he estimated that the emperor would give him a baron at most, but he didn't expect that the other party was quite generous.After all, a viscount is an earl, and Pei Rong was just a first-class uncle Dingyuan back then.In the Great Liang Chaotang, it is far more difficult to climb the title than the official position. If there is no big person to support, you can only rely on military merit.

Having military merits does not necessarily mean that one can be promoted to a noble rank, as we can see from what happened to Gu Liang back then.

In the final analysis, it is either the emperor's favor or the approval of a powerful person, otherwise many people will be just viscounts for the rest of their lives.

Pei Yue knew it well, and said gratefully: "Uncle, in fact, you don't have to use your friendship with His Majesty the Emperor on this kind of thing."

Gu Liang shook his head and said: "You have made real contributions, so it is not difficult for me to help you fight for this title. Brother Yue, your background is weaker after all, so this first step is especially important. After you join the army in the future, If you lead the troops below with a strong title, it will save you a lot of trouble."

If he hadn't fought hard in front of the imperial court, Emperor Kaiping would never have considered giving Pei Yue a title at all. At first, he just planned to reward some money.

Pei Yue read something from the eyes of the middle-aged man, and asked softly, "Uncle, do you have something to say to me?"

Gu Liang said solemnly: "There are some things that you should know."

"About your life experience."
