Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 775
The south gate of Pengcheng was wide open.

The drawbridge is lowered.

Outside the city, the [-] loyal Wuya troops still stood still.

Under the banner of the White Tiger, Luo Cheng looked at the city with squinted eyes and a smile.Since Pengcheng didn't even ring the alarm bell, it's impossible for the opponent, Kaesong, to fight.

Besides, it is impossible for Chen Ling to kill him, even if he does, Luo Cheng is not afraid.

really.

The first ones to come out of the opened city gate were neither Jianghuai riflemen nor crossbowmen.

A man came out of the city gate.

But he was naked from the upper body, with thorns on his back.

"Your Highness, could it be that you are pleading guilty?" Li Xuanba asked.

"It's quite interesting." Luo Cheng said with a smile, it was obvious that Chen Leng was really quite capable, not only knew how to fight, but was also a person who was very good at watching the wind.

If Chen Ling really wanted to take the blame, why had he refused to accept Luo Cheng's surrender before, not to mention that he had just defeated Du Fuwei outside Jiangdu City.

"Beheading more than [-] people from the Jiangnan Army, and taking more than [-] prisoners, Du Fuwei's accumulated family fortune was almost thrown there. In a blink of an eye, I'm going to play with me, this guy." Luo Cheng shook his head. head.

Li Xuanba said casually, "Your Highness, how about I take my golden hammer for beating drums and go up and give him two hammers to kill this bastard."

"Forget it, there's no need for it. Chen Ling just wants to hold more bargaining chips so that he can get more benefits from me, that's all human nature." But what he did is indeed effective, if he surrenders early, then Luo It is naturally impossible for Cheng to attach much importance to him.

Now that he has shown his abilities, and now has such a low profile, Luo Cheng of course has to weigh it carefully.But to Luo Cheng, Chen Ling's actions were actually a bit too clever.

Right now, of course Luo Cheng wanted to reward him to appease him, but a thorn had already been planted in his heart.

This kind of guy who likes to play tricks too much is not as good as Li Jingqu for him.

But now, Luo Cheng, who should cooperate with the performance, will still support him.

"drive!"

Luo Cheng kicked his horse forward, and Li Xuanba followed closely with his hammers in hand.

His pair of hammers are different from Luo Cheng's leaf hammers. They are melon hammers, but they are very skillful. They are hollow inside and golden in appearance, but although they are hollow, they The outer layer of the hammer is still very hard.

A pair of hammers, each of which is not light, and it looks much bigger than usual, but it is not as exaggerated as Qi Guoyuan's wooden fake hammers before.

Chen Ling crossed the suspension bridge and saw Luo Cheng coming forward in golden armor, so he knelt down in front of Luo Cheng in front of the two armies.

"Chen Leng pays respects to King Qin!"

Luo Cheng jumped off the horse and reached out to help him up.

I used to be a minister in the same palace, so I had some contact with him, but the contact was not deep.

"Thank you, General Chen, please get up quickly."

Compared with the calmness of Zhongwu Yabing, the Huai army in Pengcheng was more nervous and excited at this time.Up to now, no one is willing to go on like this. Li Mi used to be strong, but last time he had a decisive battle with Dou Jiande. After a long time, no one took advantage of it. On the contrary, now Luo Cheng came first.

Not only took half of Hebei, but also made a strong landing in Shandong.

With one word from Luo Cheng, Li Mi obediently gave up the four counties east of the canal and withdrew back to Hexi.

You know, before Dou Jiande came to occupy the four counties, Li Mi came out in full force.

High judgment.

Seeing His Highness King Qin, who is the most powerful in the world, lift up their military commander Jieshuai, all the Huai soldiers felt finally relieved. This feeling was as if a rope had been tied around their necks all along.

Now the rope is finally untied.

After a brief silence.

Loud cheers erupted on Pengcheng.

The soldiers of the Huai army cheered for this relief, and cheered for not having to worry about the Liao soldiers anymore.

"Someone asked his subordinates to leave the city."

Chen Ling waved.

So one after another, the generals came out, all of them unarmed, unarmored and unarmed, and lined up out of the city to meet Luo Cheng.

Standing in front of Luo Cheng, they declared their names and official positions.

Luo Cheng nodded one by one.

Then, more Huai troops came out of the city. They threw all their weapons and armor outside the city gate, stood aside with bare hands and handed over Pengcheng.

"These sergeants include Xiao Guo recruited from the Jianghuai area, as well as government soldiers and county soldiers from Xu Si and other places." Chen Leng introduced.

Wang Tiehan led a regiment of soldiers and horses into Pengcheng to defend them. After inspection, Luo Cheng was asked to move to the city. As for the Huai army, they were stationed outside the city.

Chen Leng brought along the defenders of Pengcheng, and the troops he had just brought from Jiangdu, a total of more than [-] people disarmed and surrendered in front of Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng also acted boldly, and asked the military officials to register these people, and all officers above the rank of lieutenant lieutenants were given corresponding military officers according to the 29th rank of military officers newly established by the Liaodong court.

Chen Leng, the chief general, was awarded the title of first-rank hussar general, the highest among the military officials.

And below him, all officers are given corresponding ranks according to their original military duties.For example, he was originally a team deputy, so Luo Chengcheng awarded him a second-rank accompanying officer from the ninth rank, and the team leader awarded him a senior accompanying captain from the ninth rank.

In this way, even if they will reorganize with other armies in the future, or leave the army by themselves, they will still retain their official status.

The original intention of the new establishment of civil and military officials is the official rank. Now the Liaodong court assigns officials, before granting all duties, it must first set an official rank, that is, the official, and it is separated from civil and military.

Civil officials are awarded the official rank of Wen San, and military commanders are awarded the rank of Wu San.

This loose official is this product, and there are officials first and ranks.

Just like a township chief, the township chief is a job, an official position, and before he is conferred the township chief, he must first be conferred with a corresponding section chief, and this section chief is an official rank and a quality.

Officials and scattered officials are basically corresponding, for example, the township chief confers section chiefs, but they can also be high-ranking and low-ranking or low-ranking and high-ranking.This is like the township head may be at the department level, or at the sub-section level, or even at the department level, depending on qualifications and so on.

Now that there are more than [-] Huai troops, after putting down their weapons, they are still a little apprehensive, not knowing what their future holds.

But now that Luo Cheng has given them official ranks, everyone can feel relieved.

Even if the soldiers and horses are gone, the military position is gone, but the official rank is still there. In the future, with this official status, you can also hold other official positions.

As for the Huai army who have no official or position below the team deputy, Luo Cheng awarded them honorary officers.

Honorary officer is equivalent to a kind of honor. Honorary officer has twelve ranks, the highest is the Shangzhu Kingdom, and he is regarded as the second rank, and can enjoy the treatment of the second rank, but he has no position and no right.

Of course, honorary officers still have a lot of privileges, not just in the nature of honor. For example, after possessing an honorary officer, their children have priority in entering official schools and other aspects. Palace guards and so on.

For another example, ordinary people cannot take concubines, but those with honor can.Ordinary people only have [-] mu of land quota, but honored people have a higher land quota, which is different from honors.

In addition, even the size of the house and the size of the house can enjoy higher treatment than ordinary people. In the village, Youxun can see officials without paying homage.

Basically, those at the fire chief level were awarded honors.

Then for the more ordinary soldiers, Luo Cheng didn't award them any honors, but he also rewarded them with some money and silk.

The most important point is that Luo Cheng also announced that those who are willing to stay in the army will be recruited based on their merits, and those who are willing to return to their hometowns will not be forced, and they will be given rations to return to their hometowns.
