Chapter 474 Good news comes frequently
Although the officials in the court had never seen this man named Hu Shu, they had heard of his name. After all, he was a fifth-grade military general who defended the frontier. When he heard that he had surrendered to the enemy, Xu Guozhong also used the name of the emperor to Killed the nine Hu Shu tribes.

Although there was still a step to confirm the identity, the civil and military officials did not doubt that the head in the box was not Sun Shu.

After all, there was no need for Chen Mo to deceive them about this kind of thing.

Even though they are not on the same side as Chen Mo, as members of the same clan, Chen Mo sent troops to resist Jin Xia and won the first battle, which is still something to be happy about.

Emperor Yong'an couldn't help but said: "The Taiwei is worthy of being the pillar of the country. He won the first battle. It seems that driving these Jinxia barbarians out of our territory of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner. I will reward the Taiwei well."

Emperor Yong'an said these words sincerely.

Chen Mo is promoting the prestige of the Song Dynasty. Although he is a puppet emperor, he is also the monarch of the Song Dynasty. When it is recorded in the history books in the future, he can also take advantage of it.

But when it came to giving Chen Mo a good reward, he glanced at Lu Sheng subconsciously.

He had no power or money, so even if he was given a title, Lu Sheng would still have to nod.

"Your Majesty is wise. The Taiwei went to war for the country, won the first battle, defeated the barbarians of Jinxia, ​​and promoted the prestige of the Song Dynasty. He should be well rewarded. However, he has been worshiped as Taiwei and given the title of County Marquis. Above this, he is the Duke. Well, although the Taiwei won the first battle, he only killed the rebels who surrendered to Jinxia, ​​which was not enough to make him a prince." Lu Sheng said truthfully.

Chen Mo's title has reached the highest level of marquis. In terms of official position, the only one above him is prime minister.

As for making a king, especially a king with a different surname, you cannot make him a king unless you expand your territory.

After all, Hu Shu is at the fifth level. Being able to cut off Hu Shu's head is obviously stronger than Hu Shu.

If you were to be granted the title of Duke, this amount of credit would indeed not be enough.

Chen Mo is not easy to reward, but Chang En is easy to reward.

"What, Chang En?"

Lu Sheng was also quite surprised, because he realized that the Chang En mentioned in the other party was his junior brother.

Unexpectedly, he turned to Chen Mo.

According to the requirements set by Emperor Taizu, at least Chen Mo had to drive Jin Xia out of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing everyone gathered around to discuss the reward for Chen Mo, the brave guard below lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, when you come to Beijing this time, in addition to ordering your subordinates to dedicate Hu Shu's head to Your Majesty, the Marquis also ordered The subordinates asked for credit for General Chang En.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, only the Taizu period had a king with a different surname. In the following four hundred years, there has not been a king with a different surname.

Lu Sheng and Huicheng were both shocked, they were really junior brothers/senior brothers.

After the words fell, Huicheng, the Minister of War, couldn't help but be surprised. After realizing that this was the Jinluan Palace, his behavior was a bit rude, he fell silent again.

Even if today is different from the past, this title cannot be given casually.

This head was beheaded by Chang'en, the brave guard under the Marquis' tent. "

The brave guard thought for a while and said: "The dragon returns to the mountain."

Lu Sheng did not show his expression.

And just when Emperor Yong'an awarded Chang En a reward.

"The Dragon Returns to the Mountain"

The titles of the Song Dynasty were divided into Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi and Nan.

Lu Sheng asked in a different tone: "I wonder where this General Chang'en you are talking about is from?"

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering cheer from outside, which seemed to be the cheers of the people of Luonan City. Then, the sound of triumph sounded again, which immediately aroused the doubts of the officials in the palace.

Any good news?

At the same time, on the streets of Luonan City, Su Wu came riding on a maroon horse. Pedestrians on the street saw that the armor on his body was the same as that of the previous man, and they couldn't help but open their eyes. The next moment, they I heard Su Wu shouting: "Good news, great victory in Yao'er City! Great victory in Beidi!"

These words immediately attracted all the people on both sides of the street. "Why is there another good news?"

"From what he said, it sounds like it's a great victory. Isn't it just an ordinary victory?"

"What kind of place is this city?"

"I've never heard of it, but I heard it was a great victory in the North, and it was obviously a victory for the Marquis of Pingting County."

"Ah? Didn't you report a good news just now?"

While surprised, the people were still a little confused.

How come there are two good news from Northland in one day?

Isn't this repeated?
What they didn't know was that these two good reports were two victories.

The person who sent Hu Shu's head to the capital was an ordinary soldier in the Divine Guard.

Su Wu, on the other hand, is an old man who has been following Chen Mo for a long time, and he is also an advanced warrior.

Yaoer City was captured the next day after Hu Shu killed him.

Therefore, with Su Wu's speed, it would be normal to arrive on the same day even if he starts one day later.

In the palace, in the Jinluan Hall, the emperor and his ministers were also puzzled. Lu Sheng's face paused slightly, and he looked at the ministers who were gradually becoming restless behind him, and said to Emperor Yong'an: "Your Majesty, can you send someone to see what's going on? "

When Emperor Yong'an heard this, he quickly sent the eunuch waiting next to him to take a look.

As soon as the eunuch came out of the palace and came to the eaves of the corridor outside the palace, he saw several eunuchs and soldiers from the imperial army leading a soldier up the steps and came to the front of the palace, panting.

The eunuch hurriedly asked the soldier: "What good news is this?"

Su Wu bowed and cupped his hands: "This father-in-law, the great victory in Yao'er City and the great victory in Gaozhou, the marquis defeated the Jinxia army, and personally shot and killed the Jinxia East Route Army commander Tiemur's nephew Tiemu Tie, and his general Kuimu. The Marquis specially ordered me to send their heads to the capital to present to His Majesty. "

Su Wu took out a red booklet from his arms.

The details of the incident were explained in the report.

When the officials in the palace who were wondering heard the words outside the palace, they were stunned and their eyes widened a bit.

As a small town, Yaoer City had not been heard of by them.

But they knew about Gaozhou, and they also knew that Gaozhou had been occupied by Jin Xia.

Did this great victory in Gaozhou mean that Gaozhou was recaptured?

The eunuch led Su Wu into the main hall, faced the scorching gazes of the court ministers, and handed the booklet to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng opened it and read it. First he frowned, then was shocked. He immediately closed the book and handed it to the eunuch, who then presented the book to Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an frowned slightly, but did not dare to say anything.

While Emperor Yong'an was watching, Lu Sheng said: "Your Majesty, after the Taiwei was ordered to repel the Jinxia barbarians from the Guanshan Plain to Yao'er City, these barbarians were so unscrupulous that they drove the people in the city as pioneers and fought against them. Taiwei.

Fortunately, the Taiwei lived up to His Majesty's trust and not only smashed the plot of these barbarians, but also annihilated the infantry of the Jinxia barbarians in one fell swoop, severely damaged their cavalry, and shot dead the nephew of the enemy commander and a group of four. He kissed the general and recaptured Yao'er City, achieving a great victory in Gaozhou. "

As soon as Lu Sheng finished speaking, the entire court fell silent.

The previous good news only defeated the vanguard army composed of traitors and did not hurt the Jinxia army.

But this time, it directly shook the opponent's foundation.
