My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 78 Promotion
Sun Fang didn't want Yang Ao to be an abandoned son. In the conflict between Li Kai and Yang Ao, he had always been on Yang Ao's side. He was optimistic about this young man. He was capable and filial. If he could win over him, he would be a good one. Help.

Unfortunately, as Mr. Sinan said, the most suitable person is Yang Ao.

The first achievement in retaking Shangyang County was Yang Ao's, but for various reasons, the next place to be promoted to captain had already been determined and could not be changed.

Yang Ao seems to be the best, but in fact he is the least likely. Even if he makes great achievements, it will be useless. He has no family behind him, or his achievements are not enough to offset the benefits exchanged by other families.

In fact, the army was not like this in the early years, but in recent years, since the rich tribes from various places began to seek border troops, the situation has changed.

The children of the aristocratic family are experts when they come in, just like several of Li Kai's battalion commanders, they are all innate. You know, the camp commanders in the army in the early years were all like Gu Xuanwu. The aristocratic family began to send their children into the army, which can be said to be greatly strengthened. Improve the quality of military masters.

But at the same time, the military also has to open doors for the children of these aristocratic families. It can only be said that Yang Aosheng was born at the wrong time.

Yang Ao was not given the reward this time. With Yang Ao's character, he must have resentment in his heart, and it would be impossible for him to use it for his own use in the future.

Since it cannot be used for oneself, it may become a sharp sword in the hands of political opponents, so getting rid of it as soon as possible is a good choice.

After a long silence, Sun Fang looked at Mr. Sinan and nodded: "Go and invite Yang Ao."

Mr. Sinan smiled slightly, knowing that Sun Fang had agreed. As for how to operate, he was already a long-time official, so there was no need to teach him.

Immediately, he ordered someone to invite Yang Ao.

"General Yang Ao, I have met the general!" After a while, Yang Ao, who was summoned, strode in and saluted Sun Fang.

"Yang Yingzheng doesn't need to be polite." Sun Fang waved his hand, looked at Yang Ao and sighed: "I have bad news to tell Yang Yingzheng."

bad news?
Yang Ao's heart sank, why, his credit is gone again?
He was not very good at pretending, and his thoughts were written all over his face. He felt uncomfortable, and his face darkened. He remained silent and waited for the next sentence.

"The bandit chief Lu Xuan took advantage of our army's return and invaded Sanyang County. Lieutenant Li Kai...died in the battle." Sun Fang said regretfully.

"?"

Yang Ao was startled for a moment and looked at Sun Fang. Are you sure this is bad news?

The corners of the mouth involuntarily curled up.

"You seem very happy?" Sun Fang frowned when he saw this scene.

"No, Lieutenant Li Kai took great care of the general. The general regarded him as a brother. Hearing this, he felt extremely sad in his heart!" Yang Ao felt that he should cry, but he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth at all.

When Sun Fang saw this, his cheeks twitched. The young man was still too shallow. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with treating him as an abandoned son. It would be too easy for such a character to make enemies in the officialdom.

"One of the four schools under my command is now missing. In terms of qualifications and ability, you are unique among all the camps. Coupled with the success of regaining Shangyang County this time, it is enough to go a step further. I would like to recommend you to take the lead." What do you think of the position of captain?" Sun Fang said with a smile.Yang Ao suddenly raised his head and looked at Sun Fang. This surprise came a little unexpectedly.

"Thank you so much, General, for your training!" Yang Ao tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. The captain general was in the eighth rank. Although he was a low-rank official, he was still an official of that rank. How many people have been stuck like him all their lives? The edge of the school captain is not allowed to enter. It seems that it is very close and can be crossed in one step. However, just this one step has blocked many heroes from ancient and modern times.

Three generations of my family have been in the military, and today, I finally have the opportunity to take this step.

Sun Fang looked at Yang Ao with complicated eyes and said: "It's just a recommendation. After all, I don't have the real right to appoint an official. For now, I can only let you take Li Kai's place temporarily. After the rebellion is put down, I can explain this to the general when I return to the army." Please report the matter to the court."

Including the generals of Zhenbian, no one has the right to appoint official officials. Even the generals of Zhenbian can only be conferred to the level of camp commander. Military generals such as school lieutenants need to be canonized by the court.

"The general will understand!" Yang Ao suppressed the excitement in his heart. Although Sun Fang said this, in his opinion, who else could hold this position besides himself?
"Yes." Sun Fang nodded, looked at Yang Ao and said, "There is one more thing you need to do."

"General, please give me your orders!" Yang Ao said, cupping his fists.

"It has been found out that the food and grass in the treasury was not taken away by Lu Xuan, but distributed by him to the people in the city." Sun Fang frowned and looked at Yang Ao and said: "Now that Sanyang has been taken away, if it cannot be taken back in time, I am afraid that the court will I will lay down the blame and say that it is not good for us to attack the thieves, but there is no food in the army, how can we send troops? Go and take back the food and grass distributed by Lu Xuan to the people."

"General, take the order!" Yang Ao hesitated for a moment. This matter is a hard job, not to mention hard work, not flattering, and easy to get scolded from both sides. But he has just been promised to be promoted to captain, and this is the first order he has been given. It's not easy to refuse, you can only accept it.

"Colonel Yang, don't blame the general for entrusting this matter to you. After all, if you want to recommend you as a captain, you must at least be convinced by others. Although this matter is difficult to handle, if it can be done, it can be considered a favor to other generals. , In this officialdom, you have to be strong in your own abilities, and you also need help from your colleagues." Seeing Yang Ao's hesitation, Mr. Sinan persuaded with a smile.

"Yes, I will take care of it now." Yang Ao sighed in his heart. The lack of food in the army was indeed a big problem.

After taking two steps, Yang Ao suddenly thought of something. He turned around and saluted Sun Fang: "General, there is still something unknown about the general."

"Speak." Sun Fang nodded.

"The last general has met Lu Xuan twice. This person is just innate, how can he kill Li Kai?" Yang Ao calmed down now and realized something was wrong.

Lu Xuan's strength may be good, but after all, it is only innate. Judging from Yang Ao's observation of Lu Xuan, this person does not yet have the ability to counterattack and transform.

How did he kill Li Kai?
"This man was quite vicious. He risked his life to kill Li Kai." Sun Fang told the news about bringing Wang Ben back.

Yang Ao's eyes flashed, and he looked at Sun Fang and said: "In this case, even if Lu Xuan does not die now, I am afraid he will not be able to fight again. Why not send an elite force to attack Sanyang, and they will surely defeat him in one battle, and the general will not be able to fight anymore." Talent, I am willing to lead my troops to seize the city!"

I have to admit that this is a good economic strategy. After all, according to Wang Ben, the opponent may only have two innates. If someone is sent to attack at this time, it is really possible to break the city. It was Yang Ao who reminded Sun Fang that this possibility occurred. .

However, this credit does not fall on Yang Ao. Sun Fang shook his head and said: "This matter will be discussed later. While we are marching, the most important thing is to be stable. The food and grass still need to be recovered. In this way, you can recover the food and grass as soon as possible, and then Let’s call the generals together to discuss this matter!”

"Yes, I'm going to leave!" Yang Ao bowed again, turned around and strode away. He wanted to tell his mother the good news first!
