Chapter 53 Handover and Reward
After finishing speaking, the teenagers went step by step, assigned sentries, and set up guard inside and outside the hall.
Shao Xun continued to stand outside the Tai Chi Hall and wait.
The end of the arrest operation does not mean that the matter is over. At this moment, he did not dare to relax at all. It was not until He Lun, the general of the East China Sea Kingdom, received the news and brought more than a thousand soldiers into the palace to pick up Sima Yi that he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a hot potato, so hand it over as soon as possible.
"Shao Jun has made a meritorious service again." He Lun said with a complex expression.
He already understood the general situation, and secretly sighed that he had missed a good opportunity.
After all, I was too timid and thought that it would be very difficult to capture Sima Yi. Unexpectedly, he brought these ten people with him and was captured in two or three times.
However, the matter has come to this, what else is there to say?
"Sikong strategizes and supervises careful plans. I am just following orders." Shao Xun said.
"Very knowledgeable and interesting." He Lun smiled and said: "Now that this has happened, there is no problem for Mi Huang to be the lieutenant, and you also have a future."
Good guy, even He Lun knows about Mi Huang. Akira is going to be Lieutenant of the East China Sea.
No one is stupid. Regardless of merit or family status, Mi Huang is enough. As long as he fights, He Lun really can't fight.
This grade is a genuine product, or "local product".
As far as the Donghai Mi family is concerned at this time, the rural rank is the sixth rank, which cannot be called a gentry, but is regarded as a "minor surname" - the rank can be improved or lowered, and will be evaluated by each county every three years.
Mi Huang has an official status and can become a magistrate of a large county if he is sent abroad.
But the Lieutenant of Donghai Kingdom is also the sixth grade. If you think about it carefully, it is actually not bad. In troubled times, the county magistrate is really not as popular as the lieutenant.
Donghai Lao Shao's family has no local character. Generally speaking, the owner of the building is his ceiling.
But there are no absolutes. Although he cannot directly join an official position like the children of aristocratic families (such as Shi Chong), there is still an opportunity that slips through the fingers of someone like Cha Xiaolian.
After capturing Sima Yi, Donghai Xiaolian is obtained, and he is qualified to be an official.
This is the real reward he wants. Gein, whether the governor or the governor, is a "court official", not a "staff member". There is no distinction between the two and they belong to different fields.
For example, Director Wang is not strictly an "official" now, but a staff member of Sima Yue - of course, it would be easy for him to become an official, and there should be a lot of people in the Langya Wang family's family. Furthermore, Even if you don't want to join the officialdom, aristocratic families have other ways, which are much easier than those at the bottom.
"Do it well." Seeing that his soldiers had already put Sima Yi into the carriage, He Lun quickly walked to Shao Xun and whispered: "The king is rebuilding the Kingdom's army in Luoyang. Your army will be merged. Be careful. Wang Bing. His men have been wiped out and he has not recruited many recruits. He may be targeting you. "General He will bear in mind his kindness," Shao Xun saluted.
"Gone." He Lun waved his hand and turned to leave.
Shao Xun looked at He Lun's back quietly.
Sikong wanted to form a royal army of three thousand. According to the regulations, there were two thousand people in the upper army and one thousand people in the lower army.
Having the ability to capture Sima Yi, it is not a big problem to go through the process and make Mi Huang a lieutenant.
Then the question is, is the general of the army still He Lun? Did he simply give up the fight for the lieutenant after seeing Mi Huang enter the game?
Wang Bing is the general of the lower army? Will your building be merged into Xiajun?
In terms of numbers, the actual troops he has at hand can be organized into two unsatisfied buildings. Will Wang Bing cause trouble for himself?
If he is really that stupid...
Shao Xun's hand subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.
Immediately he let go again. He took a deep breath. He was used to using force to solve problems, and his murderous intention was indeed getting stronger.
Killing Wang Bing will not solve the problem.
Without him, there would still be Zhang Bing and Li Bing.
The best way is to have a good talk with Wang Bing with the help of Mi Huang.
Can’t I take you flying?
******
The edict issued by the emperor quickly spread throughout the city and caused quite a stir.
Some people cried bitterly and lamented, and wanted to rescue Sima Yi, but were dissuaded by the left and right.
Someone sighed and looked worried. He wanted to do something, but his reason told him that he was about to run out of food. What else could he do?
There were also people who took action in advance, visiting Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, and Wang Yan, a celebrity who was rumored to have a good relationship with the King of Chengdu, trying to take advantage of the subsequent political reshuffle - descendants of the Sima family It's just our civil war, why are we so stubborn?
As for more ordinary people or lower-level bureaucrats, they are eager to end the war quickly and restore Luoyang's water supply first.
If possible, can the expropriated fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers be released home?
By the way, let the outside world transport food to Beijing quickly. People are so hungry that they can't hold on.
Basically, it can be said that morale is depleted from top to bottom, and surrender is imminent!
When Shao Xun led his men out of the palace, he keenly felt the change in the atmosphere - the imperial soldiers guarding the gate were whispering to each other and making a lot of noise, which the officers could not control.
A carriage came from a distance.
Shao Xun and others looked together and saw a scholar getting out of the car and walking towards this direction.
"Is this the military academy Shao Xun ahead?" the visitor asked from a distance.
"Exactly." Shao Xun saluted and replied.
The visitor did not return the greeting, but simply introduced himself: "The shogunate army consulted and offered wine, Guangling Dai Yuan, on the order of Sikong, led Military Academy Shao into the mansion."
" Okay." Shao Xun replied.
Dai Yuan nodded, looked at Shao Xun again, then turned around and got on the carriage.
Shao Xun and his party followed on foot.
After arriving at Sikong Mansion, Dai Yuan got out of the car and went inside to report. Then he asked everyone else to stay outside and led Shao Xun inside.
"This is not your first time here. Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask." As he walked, Dai Yuan said: "Sikong may want to give you a reward. This is God's fault. I will definitely keep this great favor in my heart from now on and fight for Sikong till my death." Shao Xun responded repeatedly.
Yes, yes, you are right, who are you, showing off at this time?
The two of them walked in tandem and quickly arrived at the study room they had visited before.
This time Director Wang was not there, but there were several other people. They seemed to be discussing something. When they saw someone coming, they all stopped.
Shao Xun glanced quietly and only recognized Pan Tao.
Pan Tao was quite keen and noticed Shao Xun's fleeting gaze and actually nodded to him.
“See Sikong.” Shao Xun bowed and saluted.
Sima Yue looked at Dai Yuan, a little displeased. He seemed to blame him for disturbing his interest, and seemed to blame him for not caring about the occasion. They were discussing important matters, couldn't you wait?
Dai Yuan understood immediately and accused him repeatedly.
"That's it." Sima Yue snorted coldly, stood up, and walked to Shao Xun. His attitude improved a lot, and he said with a smile: "I heard about it, you caught Sima Yi with your own hands. Okay, Very good! Tell me, what reward do you want?”
“It is the duty of a warrior to fight in battle and capture enemy generals, so I don’t dare to ask for rewards.”
Sima Yue laughed.
The staff also laughed a few times.
Some people said bluntly: "What soldiers like is gold and silk, and Sikong can reward them with some wealth."
Other people said: "It is better to give me a treasure armor, and they can use it. That’s it.”
“Maybe he also likes women,” someone said.
As expected, this sentence caused a lot of laughter.
It can be seen that the morale of everyone in the Sima Yue shogunate is very high and they are in a high-spirited state.
Sima Yi fell, and power in Luoyang needed to be redistributed.
There is little suspense about Chengdu Wang Sima Ying becoming the emperor's younger brother, but he will not come to Luoyang, but will control the court affairs in Yecheng.
Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, will also not come to Luoyang.
This is the opportunity.
As long as Sikong cleans up the mess in Luoyang, he may not be able to compete with Chengdu and Hejian. After all, Luoyang is the capital. If you control Luoyang, you have the name to command the world.
Everyone is looking forward to this day.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Sima Yue scolded.
It was said to be a reprimand, but the tone was not harsh, and there was even a smile on his face.
After "reprimanding" his staff, Sima Yue looked at Shao Xun and said: "If you have made great contributions, you will certainly be rewarded generously. Gold and silk are indispensable, but this is not enough to reward your merits. Mi Zihui For his great service, I promise that he can be appointed lieutenant, and you will take over the post of captain."
"Thank you for the generous reward," Shao Xun said.
"Mi Zihui tried his best to speak well of you in front of Gu, saying that you are quite capable of selecting and training troops. Each of the soldiers and horses in the army is strong, and they can use their fingers like arms, so they can kill the enemy. The momentum is as strong as a broken bamboo." Xu Shi saw that Shao Xun was very calm, and Sima Yue became more and more satisfied, and said: "The soldiers in the lower army are not full yet, how about you take care of it and select more warriors to join the camp?"
“No.” Shao Xun responded.
Does this still require thinking? Still need to hesitate? This is the rhythm of promotion!
Sure enough, Sima Yue continued: "Gu said that you will be the Xiaolian of Donghai this year, so don't disappoint me. Lieutenant Sima, take the responsibility first."
Obviously, this is an illegal operation.
Lieutenant Sima must wait until the process of promoting filial piety and integrity is completed, and then be appointed by the court before it can take effect.
So, Shao Xun is just the owner of the building now, and Lieutenant Sima has to wait.
But Sima Yue said so, and he recruited the soldiers from others, so Shao Xun can take on the concurrent role first, as long as no one refuses to recognize his identity.
Giving Shao Xun the official position was not without objections from the shogunate.
Many people think that giving a building owner is enough. But the military commander Cao Fu, who had always been indifferent, spoke up and thought that this position was very suitable for Shao Xun. He knew how to select soldiers and knew how to train good soldiers.
So the matter was settled.
Sima Yue trusted Cao Fu very much. He is the youngest son of Cao Hong. Isn't a person who has been through the war years better than the people in the house who can only talk about war on paper?
Furthermore, Shao Xun is a Chinese, which is very important.
Compared to outsiders with unknown background and ulterior motives, officers from Donghai are obviously more reliable and can be entrusted with important tasks.
He Lun is like this, Wang Bing is like this, and Shao Xun is like this.
Of course, Shao Xun is less important than the first two.
After all, He Lun and Wang Bing were from well-known families and could bring political help to Sima Yue and stabilize the situation in the rear. Therefore, even if Wang Bing suffered a huge defeat, he still had to use it. After the reorganization of the army is completed, a dismounted general cannot escape.
Shao Xun firstly could not help him stabilize the rear of the East China Sea, secondly he could not provide troops, money and food, and thirdly he could not wave the flag and shout, he was just a knife at best.
He Lun and Wang Bing are the ones holding the sword, so they are fundamentally different.
"Go down and have a good time doing things." After promising the benefits, Sima Yue waved his hand and said.
“No.” Shao Xun bowed again and exited the study.
