Chapter 177
Another week passed, and in the capital at this time, the common people were decorated with lanterns and festoons, cheering as if they were celebrating the New Year, the street vendors were shouting loudly, and their faces were full of excited sleepless smiles.

Different from these ordinary people and peddlers, the scholars in the capital are downcast and listless, just like the prairie they experienced personally, which makes people feel distressed!

The reason why there are these two completely different phenomena is also related to the imperial list posted yesterday.

It turned out that after a few days of discussion, under the call of Fan Wang and other civil servants, Zhu Yu finally decided to post this list and directly determined the rewards.

There are two reasons for Zhu Yu to make this decision. One is because Fan Wang and other ministers have requested such a request, and this request is reasonable and in line with the interests of the country, so Zhu Yu cannot refute it!

Secondly, Zhu Yu also felt that this was a rare victory for many years, so it was not impossible for the whole world to celebrate.

So when the imperial list was posted, it immediately attracted people who could read and write, and students who needed it, and scholars stopped and watched.

It's just that when they saw the above things clearly, everyone seemed to have different expressions in life, and some people were even very entangled, both happy and disappointed.

I am happy that I won the battle, but I am disappointed that this victory was actually won by Wang Kuo!

At the same time, a fast horse had already left Beijing a few days ago!

………………

In Yingdong County, after once again rejecting the request of the guard of the wolf town, a soldier also suddenly pushed the door open and entered the road.

"My lord, there is a decree from the capital!"

Hearing this, Wang Kuo, who was lying on the bed and let the two maids pinch his shoulders, couldn't help jumping up!

"Go, go, go down, I'm going to change clothes!"

After waving away the maid, Wang Kuo hurriedly changed into a clean official uniform before walking out of the room.

When he came to the hall, he realized that the guards Zhang Yiping, Zhang Shaojun and others had already come a step ahead.

"My lord, the villain is ordered to deliver the decree!"

At this moment, a young man who looked like a soldier suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully to Wang Kuo.

"Oh, you're the one in charge of delivering the decree?" Wang Kuo was taken aback when he saw this. In the past, the eunuchs were responsible for the business of delivering the decree. Why did you change people today?
But after thinking about it, eight hundred miles hastened, and ordinary eunuchs were afraid that they really couldn't bear this hardship, so they smiled and said.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then!" While speaking, Wang Kuo also took out the bank note he had prepared from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the young man's hand without any trace.

"Sir, this..."

"Accept!" Wang Kuo's face was serious, and he pretended to be angry and said, "You have traveled so hard to deliver the letter to me. Is it possible that I will give you a cup of tea, and you still don't want it?"

"The villain thanked the lord first!" Nodding respectfully, the young man asked with his eyes like Wang Kuo, until he got a clear answer, then stretched out his hand and opened the imperial decree.

"Your Majesty has a purpose!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Wang Kuo and others quickly knelt down and saluted, shouting long live three times!

It was only then that the young man continued!
"I heard that Wang Qing's family has only been out of Beijing for more than a month, and they have already wiped out tens of thousands of the Jin army at the border, breaking the conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom and the Tatar tribe. , Lead an army to share my worries!"

After listening to the reward about himself, Wang Kuo just said in his heart, and then he couldn't help curling his lips.

Because the rewards about him are useless at all. For example, a general who seeks captives is actually a general. The sentence of leading an army by himself is somewhat useful. To take care of anyone's random commands to him.

As for the future, there will be no promotion, no hope of being promoted, and no gold or silver...

However, although his rewards here made him complain, but after he heard the rewards for Ren Xuedong and others in the future, his anger finally subsided.

First of all, Ren Xuedong, who was the most injured in this battle, was named a general of the fourth rank.

As for Duan Kui of the fifth rank, he was also promoted to the rank of general of the fourth rank!
As for Zhang Shaojun, who was a guard in Jinyi himself, Wang Kuo was able to play around with him during this military exploit. He changed his status as a Jinyiwei to an army soldier, and was named a fifth-rank general!

Afterwards, all the thousands and hundreds of households also improved, even Zhang Yiping and his subordinates, under Wang Kuo's operation, also improved by one level!
The first level is not the first rank. For example, if he is from the third rank, if he upgrades to one level, he will be the third rank!
So far, with the completion of the imperial decree, everyone was overjoyed, but soon everyone thought of Wang Kuo, the only one among them who had no real benefits.

However, Wang Kuo was still smiling, seeing everyone looking at him, and comforted him with a smile!
"Okay, you guys are clear about my affairs, no matter how great my merits are, so what, is it possible that His Majesty can still give me a title?"

"Okay, everyone is safe, I see it much more clearly than you!"

Wang Kuo didn't care what he said, but in fact, it was not difficult for everyone to imagine Wang Kuo's mood. The joyful atmosphere disappeared for a while, whether it was Zhang Yiping's people or Wang Kuo's subordinates, they all tried their best to restrain their smiles.

They understood that Wang Kuo's help was indispensable for the reason why they were promoted so quickly this time. Otherwise, it would not have been the case that no one had done meritorious service in the past, but why didn't they have such a happy time?

"I have waited for the order of the officials." After clapping his hands and attracting everyone's attention, Wang Kuo said with a smile: "Well, everyone should have a good rest today, and we will start separately tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, my lord!" Following Wang Kuo's words, officials from more than a hundred households also saluted respectfully.

Even Zhang Yiping and others were respectful and respectful, if they had had some doubts about Wang Kuo before today, but with the arrival of today's imperial decree, these doubts also dissipated.

After all, following such a person who can help them get promoted and make a fortune, what else do they have to say?
This night, everyone was resting, but Wang Kuo did not rest. In fact, it seems that he has been eating, drinking and having fun these days. In fact, Wang Kuo is busy and sleepless every night!
While making plans for the next step, he is also constantly practicing Tianxiang Kung Fu!
Ever since Xu Shasha told him in the capital that someone at the border gate was going to deal with him, Wang Kuo has been cautious, which is why he never went to Zhenlangguan before the imperial decree arrived.

After all, without this imperial decree to protect him, he still feels guilty.

The next day, Wang Kuo got up early, and after a sumptuous dinner, Wang Kuo gathered his troops and rushed to Zhenlangguan with Zhang Yiping.

Originally, in Wang Kuo's mind, he wanted to leave Town Wolf Pass and go to Anming Pass first. After all, where Guan Xu is one of his own, if there is something wrong, there should be someone to take care of him, right?
But after thinking about it carefully, he still decided to go to Zhenlang Pass first, because before he knew who was behind the scenes, he always felt uneasy. As for someone targeting him?

Even the imperial decree can kill him, not to mention that he is not alone?
In this way, the two of them walked for a day and a night before they finally saw the dilapidated Xiongguan, Zhenlangguan!

Zhenlangguan, named Zhenlang, actually means to shake the grassland tribes, but what makes people speechless is that the earthquake does not know how it happened, and there is never a year when the grassland people do not come to fight the autumn wind.

Last year, the Tatars harassed the Central Plains from Zhenlangguan. Not to mention that the entire north was basically harmed, and nearly one million people were affected, and more than [-] people were displaced, especially the women and children who were taken away. , is the pain in Wang Kuo's heart.

So before leaving Beijing this time, Wang Kuo had already made a certain decision, and it all depends on whether there is a chance.

More than 2 troops, with flags flying, came slowly from a distance, and had already attracted the attention of the guards of the Wolf Township Gate. However, because Zhang Yiping came forward, the gate of the Wolf Township Gate was completely opened soon, welcoming them in. .

"My lord, this is your invitation card!" Just after taking off his coat in the allocated room, before Wang Kuo went to bed, the door was pushed open by Zhang Yiping.

Zhang Yiping handed an invitation to Wang Kuo and said, "My lord, this is the general guarding the wolf town, that is, Mr. Ma Huima, the military department sent by the imperial court. I have prepared a clean-up banquet for you, and I will send it to you. coming."

"Follow the wind and wash away the dust?" Wang Kuo was taken aback when he heard the words, when is this?The enemy is outside, so why do you still have the mood to clean up the dust?
The problem is, I don't know this Ma Hui!
After thinking about it, Wang Kuo, who was about to refuse, saw Zhang Yiping's hesitant and embarrassed expression again, and couldn't help frowning!

"What's the matter, what else do you have to say, why don't you say it quickly?"

"Hey... my lord, it's like this!" Zhang Yiping couldn't help sighing when Wang Kuo found out!

"My lord, to be honest, I don't recommend you to attend this kind of banquet, because according to some news I heard when I came here, they seem to be trying to make things difficult for you!"

"Oh!" Nodding his head as if realizing something, Wang Kuo suddenly grinned, stood up and patted Zhang Yiping who obviously hadn't finished speaking.

"Do you still want to say that if I don't go, you will be embarrassed? Because they will definitely think that you tipped me off?"

"Hey..." The huge man scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the words, and Wang Kuo laughed and cursed at the sight, "Okay, get out, go and tell them, the official will be there in a while!"

As he spoke, Wang Kuo raised his foot again and kicked him.

During the fighting, the relationship between the two has become much closer!
"Father, are you really going to go? I think those bastards look at us today, they are not kind!"

When no one was around, Zhang Shaojun also resumed calling Wang Kuo's adoptive father. If Wang Kuo was not afraid of his own children all over the ground, and asked Zhang Shaojun not to call his parents in front of others, he would probably be a big adoptive son. Heaped up.

But even so, I don't know if Zhang Shaojun had estimated that he would often yell and show his mouth in front of people, which made Wang Kuo feel embarrassed.
