Lord Yuan

Chapter 144: Reward, Xu Da returns home

"The whole of Liaodong is praising the name of Benchu. I think it won't be long before the whole Youzhou will be shocked by you." Xu You looked envious, but he also understood that he was not that brave to ascend first and attack the enemy camp. Good hands.

Yuan Shao and Xu You were chatting.

Also talking in the camp were Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Da and their subordinates.

After a while, Xu Da, who was sitting a little further away, came to Yuan Shao with a complicated look on his face, extremely hesitant.

Yuan Shao noticed something strange, frowned and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. We are comrades who live and die together. There is nothing you dare to say."

When Xu Da heard Yuan Shao mentioning that he was a comrade who lived and died together, he was stunned for a moment, then he beamed with joy, grinned and said with a chuckle: "How can a long history and a small person like me be able to achieve this feat?" Down."

Yuan Shao remained silent.

Xu Da looked slightly startled and said: "I plan to see Sima and ask you to take over the post of chief commander on my behalf. That is, my nine brothers and I will all obey the orders of the chief commander, regardless of life or death. But I hope that every time there is a war, we must Let me wait and board first."

Yuan Shao said seriously, "You don't have to be like this. There is no difference between you and me. Even the military achievements are all due to the help of all brothers. Otherwise, I would rarely achieve such results. There is no need to be humble."

"What's more, if the military merit is rewarded, it will be promoted compared to others, so there is no need to worry."

Xu Da hurriedly explained: "Chang Shi misunderstood. I am not a person who is greedy for military glory. Brothers, I just want to be able to follow the command of Chang Shi, whether it is a soldier, a commander, or a team leader."

Yuan Shao understood immediately.

As a frontier soldier, Xu Da held the post of chief, but he actually had no real power. The chief was simply a veteran in the army and was said to be rich in experience. However, for such a position now, it is very difficult to achieve such a position. Obviously, Xu Da was not satisfied with this, he wanted to climb up quickly.

Faced with the overwhelming number of officers at all levels in the army, there was not much room for him to be promoted. Even with the military achievements of the past few days, he could only be promoted to the rank of team leader and be in charge of a 50-man team.

This was nothing compared to the ambition he had in mind.

He wanted to choose a path that seemed decidedly different.

As for the long history in front of us, Yuan Shao is an excellent choice.

He is capable of literary and military skills, and is not arrogant in his dealings with others. In addition, his official position is the second-in-command in the entire Liaodong country. Now he is praised by the people of Youzhou. In the future, The achievement is immeasurable.

The sooner he can choose to attach himself at this time, the sooner he can occupy Yuan Shao's heart, and thus gain greater benefits.

The person who made him make this final decision was Yan Liang Wen Chou standing by, as if he was ready and not letting up at all.

Yan Liang's power in the past is still vivid in his mind, and even Xu Da, who has always prided himself on being brave and brave, can hardly resist. Such a brave general can choose not to seek fame or power, but to rely on Chang Shi's command. Willing to act as a guard.

Compared with this, this introduction of mine is nothing more than a passing cloud.

As a result, in this unknown military camp, Yuan Shao got the help of these ten cavalrymen.

This is a good start.

The commendation meeting soon started in an orderly manner.

The governor's order came from the Youzhou mansion in Jizhou.

The frontier soldiers present were all shocked, including the other camps that were also one of the eight battalions. Seeing that You Sima Qubu was now so valued by the governor, they felt envious in their hearts.

Fortunately, the governor did not favor one thing over the other. When the envoy read out the contents of the reward, he immediately burst into cheers.

Duwei Gong Shamu has also arrived at the commendation meeting.

He solemnly read out his appreciation for the long history Yuan Shao, and at the same time fully affirmed Yuan Shao's behavior.

Yuan Shao took it indifferently, and his calm and gentle attitude suddenly surprised many soldiers present.

Such a young Chang Shi, faced with such a great achievement, could still keep his face straight and even speak persistently.

Needless to say, if someone can become a long history, at least his attitude will be countless times stronger than his own. Coupled with the bravery hidden in his bones, he dares to attack the Xianbei tribe at night and dare to do things that no one in the world dares to do. , naturally deserves to be so proud.

Military camps have always liked to judge seniority. The more outstanding those who have made outstanding achievements, the more devoted they will be treated by these soldiers.

If Yuan Shao had used his position as chief historian to suppress him at the beginning, it would have been counterproductive.

The army will not listen to the advice of a long history officer like you who has never been on the battlefield, and you are not qualified to do so.

But now, through his own efforts, Yuan Shao has been recognized by more than 5 sergeants in the northern army camp overnight.

After learning that the reward was now given, Na Changshi could no longer be promoted.

After all, although he had beheaded dozens of people and had outstanding achievements, it was not the beginning of troubled times, nor was it the formation to kill the enemy's general, capture the city and cut down the flag.

In addition, he is the second-in-command in Liaodong, and the next step up is to succeed Gong Shamu as the captain, leading the entire Liaodong.

Although Gongshamu has already had such an idea in his mind after learning about Yuan Shao's feat, at the moment, his qualifications are still young and he still needs more training. When the opportunity comes in the future, he will report it to the Ming court through the governor and make him It would not be a bad idea to succeed him as the capital of Liaodong.In the army, since Yuan Shao was unable to be promoted, Sima Zhao Jian, the Right Sima, made a suggestion. It would be better to temporarily use Yuan Shao's merits to promote Xu Da, the commander-in-chief, to the post of camp commander, but still return to the commander-in-chief.

As for the rest of the cavalry, they also climbed up in order. All nine cavalry were promoted to the position of commander, and Yan Liang, who had beheaded more than ten people, was appointed as the team leader.

In this way, Xu Da had a team leader, ten commanders, and a hundred sturdy cavalry.

Xu Da naturally understood that this was all due to Chang Shi, and immediately expressed on the stage that he would be a soldier under Chang Shi no matter now or even in the future.

All the sergeants present gave him overwhelming praise and respected him for not being greedy for power.

Little did they know, what Xu Da actually meant was that no matter when and where he was, he would be a part of the long history Yuan Shao, just like Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

The commendation meeting lasted for a whole day, and awards were given and implemented.

All the money that came from Jizhou was turned into the armor, crossbows, arrows, weapons, etc. worn by the soldiers. , faced with the money and silk that were rewarded from above, they did not hold anything back, and spent all of it on the soldiers here, and they gave them another good reward that night.

Money was spent very quickly. Just to purchase more than 5 soldiers' full-body equipment, seven or eighty-eight of them had been consumed. The rest was exchanged for food and salary and kept in case of emergency needs.

Anyway, in the end, the taxes and revenues of the entire Liaodong vassal state were still covered, so Gongshamu didn't have much to worry about.

After Yuan Shao got through with the captain, he decided to stay in this military camp for a while. Anyway, Xun Chen was handling the political affairs of Changli County in an orderly manner.

Gongshamu was startled for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile. He appreciated Xun Chen's performance even more.

He planned to recommend Yuan Shao as the captain of Liaodong after he retired, and Xun Chen would replace Yuan Shao as the chief historian of the country.

Now it’s time to practice more and get the best of both worlds.

No matter how Haosheng inquired about what happened, Gong Shamu couldn't help but feel scared, and worriedly warned Yuan Shao not to do such a risky thing again.

Yuan Shao could only smile and nod, indicating that he would not do it again in the future.

As for whether there is still one, he himself is not sure.

The predecessor was able to fire thousands of arrows at once, and in times of crisis he still dared to hold his head high with his sword, inspiring his soldiers to fight bravely.

At that time, he was already in great power, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and the territory under his jurisdiction was as large as several states.

If there is anything that inspires the hearts of these soldiers the most, it is the feats of ascending first, beheading generals, and capturing flags.

During this period, nothing was without danger. All he could do was to have as much backup as possible, no matter what kind of danger he fell into.

Gong Shamu could see that the long history Yuan Shao in front of him was full of courage to move forward. He was already in the sunset and could not be as sharp as them.

During this period, You Sima Zhao Jian came, and Sima guards from other camps emerged one after another.

Most of them got to know this long history of Liaodong under the witness of the captain.

When Gong Shamu was about to leave, he suddenly asked for no reason: "Who is Mr. Chang Shi? He can teach you such a versatile person in both civil and military affairs?"

Yuan Shao immediately became serious and said as he was passing by: "The teacher is Yingchuan Li Ying and Li Yuanli."

Gongshamu looked shocked, looking at the young Yuan Shao in front of him, and then thinking of Li Ying's demeanor when he was the general of Du Liao, he felt relieved.

"No wonder, no wonder, under the loving guidance of the former General Du Liao, Chang Shi's future is boundless."

After saying that, he exchanged a few words with Yuan Shao and left.

Xu Da rushed back drunk from outside. When he saw Yuan Shao sitting upright, he immediately put away his drunkenness and stood aside respectfully. One person was able to ascend to heaven, and the cavalry and soldiers behind him were all promoted to high positions. At this time, he was in high spirits.

Facing Yuan Shao, he immediately put away his expression.

The Xianbei tribe far outside the Great Wall.

Ke Qianduo saw hundreds of Han people rushing over thousands of miles away, intending to collect many of their donations, but he learned from them that a group of Han troops had attacked the entire tribe at night a few days ago.

Even the property intended to be presented to the king was taken away by the Han people.

The Xianbei envoy was furious when he heard this: "Could this be a lie you made up because you were greedy for profit? The Han people are as stupid as cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. How dare you come to this place outside the Great Wall?"

Ke Qianduo was extremely frightened. Faced with the envoy's suspicion, he hurriedly took him to the place where his tribe used to live.

When the sudden fire swept through and ravaged everything, it left a scorched earth behind, and looking at it, it felt infinitely desolate.

Although the raging fire has been extinguished and several days have passed, standing on the scorched earth, one can still smell the suffocating smell of smoke. Those tall and tall trees have now become a The black ruins stood there like black bones thrust into the scorched earth.

The messenger suddenly became very calm, turned around and asked: "Are you willing to take revenge?"
