Just as they were excited, suddenly, a little light flashed in the darkness in the distance, and everyone turned to see a group of cavalry, each holding torches, sweeping like the wind.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Xue Ding, who was on guard in the rear team, came from afar, "General, the King of Wei has a will......!"

Xue Ding led the cavalry, holding a big banner and went straight to Lei Shaoxuan, after all dismounted, two people flashed behind Xue Ding, a military general and a white-clothed eunuch.

The military general is forty or fifty years old, although the weather is humid, but he is wearing a full set of leather armor, he looks very heroic, his eyebrows are round, his eyes are full of ability and bravery, when he saw Lei Shaoxuan, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Lin Wei, the commander of the subordinate Eastern Army and the captain of the first battalion, visited the general. ”

Lei Shaoxuan's heart moved, Lin Wei claimed to be a subordinate, and he was very respectful, and he vaguely understood in his heart that it was estimated that Lin Wei would be subsumed under his hands.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to be polite, please get up!" Lei Shaoxuan said quietly, looking at the smiling eunuch next to him

Lin Wei got up, turned sideways to let the eunuch go, and said, "This is the prince of Wang An, who was ordered to escort the prince to read out the will of the king of Wei. ”

Wang An nodded, took a step forward, restrained his smile, and said sharply: "King Wei has a will, Lei Shaoxuan and others will receive the order." ”

King Wei's will comes first, so Wang An did not meet Lei Shaoxuan, and directly read out King Wei's will.

"Fengtian carrier, the order of the king of Great Wei: Lei Shaoxuan, the prefect of Beichuan and the governor of Beichuan, is sensitive, and his loyalty is commendable. Hereby, the rank of General Anton is added to the command of the Eastern Army. Greatly. Command!"

Lei Shaoxuan was stunned, General Anton is a three-rank military rank, only the actual military generals of the imperial court will be awarded, and there have always been only six substantive generals of the imperial court, namely Anton, Zhengnan, Zhenbei, Dingxi, Zhuguo and Fuyuan.

These six general titles are only awarded to the generals who actually lead the army, if they retire and no longer lead the army, the imperial court will award other titles to take their general titles, therefore, these six general titles mean power and honor, as for the rest of the general titles, they are basically miscellaneous generals, which have nothing to do with rank, and are more of an honor.

Then, Wang An also announced another appointment, appointing Ma Shaoteng as the assistant commander of the Eastern Army, this position is dedicated to assisting in commanding operations, and is responsible for training and military discipline, etc., which is equivalent to Lei Shaoxuan's deputy, and the rest of the generals are rewarded.

After the announcement was completed, Wang An smiled and bowed and said, "Congratulations to General Lei!"

Seeing Wang An wearing a white eunuch dress, Lei Shaoxuan already understood that the other party only had four grades, and the grade was lower than his own, so he didn't have to be too polite, not to mention that Lei Shaoxuan never knew what politeness was, and he often went in and out of the palace, and was quite familiar with Li Chun and other eunuchs, so he didn't mean to look down on the eunuchs, grabbed Wang An's hand, and said with a big grin: "It's a pity that this is the battlefield, the whole army didn't bring a dime, and there is no place to be greedy if you want to. ”

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly, he finally got to know Lei Shaoxuan as a person, this person was born on death row, and he spoke without scruples, although it was a joke, but can the word corruption be said casually in public? I don't know if the ignorant are fearless, or they are pampered and proud by the favor of the Queen Mother and the King of Wei, but this move also shows that Lei Shaoxuan does not regard himself as an outsider, and does not have the kind of vision and behavior that ordinary people look down on eunuchs, and he suddenly has a good feeling.

General Lei laughed, the word corruption can't be said casually, one is to damage the general's reputation, and the other is to let the King of Wei know, and it is even more troublesome. Besides, we have come all the way, although it is the will of King Wei, but I also want to know such talents as General Lei, and General Lei's words are happier than giving any red envelopes. Wang An said politely, and then his face became bitter, and he was a little sad.

When he returned to Beijing to hand over the decree, King Wei would inevitably ask Lei Shaoxuan about his words and deeds when he received the decree, and how should he answer it? The word of corruption just now was a real taboo word, and so many people heard about it, and they couldn't hide it if they wanted to.

Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't speak at will, when Wang An announced that he was General Anton, he chuckled in his heart, he was so young, he held such a high position, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this was definitely not a good thing, and he had risen too fast!

Back then, when Yuan Wenbo was on death row, when Yuan Wenbo had nothing to do, he often analyzed the officialdom figures of the past dynasties for Lei Shaoxuan.

When entering the officialdom, no matter who you are, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally to be promoted, looking forward to being promoted faster and higher, but few people realize that once you are promoted to a high position, you will never be promoted higher, but to protect yourself.

If you rise to a high position, if you have too much power and deep roots, you will often become a big tail and threaten the king, and you will eventually be regarded as an enemy by the king, and if you do not know how to restrain yourself, you will often die without a place to be buried; if you have no foundation and suddenly rise to a high position, you will be favored by the king, but you are often regarded as an enemy by the ministers, and you will attack in groups, and the end will be miserable. Officialdom pays attention to the gradual promotion step by step, so that the network foundation matches the position, and it is much safer.

Interestingly, if a pet wants to protect himself, self-pollution is often the most effective means, especially self-pollution often means no ambition, of course, the reputation is dirty, but it is better to be clean.

If Lei Shaoxuan was so young, his strategy was so demonic, and his methods were so vicious, if his reputation was very good and his reputation was burning, it was estimated that King Wei would not be able to sleep.

Lei Shaoxuan has long understood that only if the reputation is so bad that he can be imprisoned at any time, can the favored ministers protect themselves, provided that they don't bully men and women, mutilate hundreds of officials, do all kinds of evil, that kind of death, as for being greedy for money and being sexy, have you ever seen any powerful ministers in the past dynasties die because of wealth?

"What's going on with the Eastern Army?" After the greetings, a bonfire was lit, and Lei Shaoxuan asked.

There are officers above the captain level around the bonfire, there is no need to shy away from it, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Wei, Lin Wei said: "I am about to report this matter carefully to the general!"

Lin Wei was originally a member of the military department and concurrently served as the captain of the right guard in Xijing, which was equivalent to the staff officer of the leading army of the military department, and the captain of the garrison directly under Xijing. To serve as Lei Shaoxuan's deputy position, it is to inform Lei Shaoxuan of the intention of the establishment of the Eastern Army, and to be responsible for the personnel of the battalions under him, the coordination and deployment of tasks, etc., after all, Lei Shaoxuan's strategy may be first-class, but he is not familiar with the situation of the armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty, is not familiar with the regulations and other affairs of the army, and is not even as familiar with the command of the battle as Ma Shaoteng, strictly speaking, it is a bit hasty to appoint Lei Shaoxuan as the commander of Beichuan, let alone the commander of the Eastern Army, so in a sense, the appointment of Lei Shaoxuan as the commander of the Eastern Army seems extremely rash.

Nearly 100,000 troops, handed over to a young man who is not familiar with the army structure, or even the soldiers of each battalion, seems extremely absurd, but the King of Wei knows that in terms of merit and strategy, Lei Shaoxuan is enough to serve as the commander, and in terms of qualifications and ability to govern the army, it is extremely immature, because there is Lin Wei's decision to take up the post of Tongzhi of the Eastern Army from Beijing, and at the same time let Ma Shaoteng continue to assist Lei Shaoxuan, with these two fierce generals, the Eastern Army will not be chaotic.

"If something goes wrong with the Eastern Army, cut off your head first, and then pull out that kid's skin!" Thinking of what King Wei said to Lin Wei in front of the Ministry of War, Lin Wei couldn't help but tremble in his heart, if something really happened to the Eastern Army, his head would definitely be lost, but when he said that Lei Shaoxuan's skin was picked, who knew that he really picked off Lei Shaoxuan's skin, or just took off Lei Shaoxuan's official robe, most likely the latter.

Who in Xijing doesn't know that Lei Shaoxuan has been angry with King Wei countless times, not only did he not punish him at all, but he kept getting promoted, and he could really pick up Lei Shaoxuan's skin at that time?

Lin Wei paused for a moment and said: "Because of the danger of the Henghe River and the hundreds of thousands of water divisions in South Vietnam, the east was not the main direction of our army's southern expedition, so the main force of our army was led by the King of Qi, and went south from the Eagle Cliff Pass, and only the battalions of Qizhou and Xuanzhou in the east totaled 50,000 in Xichuan, which was only used to deter and contain the water division, waiting for the opportunity to cross the river and respond to the army of the King of Qi, in addition to the 100,000 under the jurisdiction of the logistics of the six princes for the defense of the logistics base. ”

Lin Wei Zhengse said: "Because the general led the lone army to break through the Heng River, destroy the granary, collapse the lake, and force the South Vietnamese Navy Division to retreat, the Henghe River is wide open. ”

Lin Wei sighed: "The general's battles can be called a miracle!"

Lei Shaoxuan pursed his lips and said seriously: "That's all King Wei is wise, Ma Shaoteng and Master Ma are properly commanded, Lord Yang Xiu and Yang are brave, Master Ma Tao and Lord Ma are fierce, and Lord Xue Dingxue is fearless......"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, this was General Anton, the commander of the Eastern Army, and couldn't help but laugh.

"The board book that the general said is really good. ”

"What kind of board book? It's sycophancy, our sycophancy!"

"Get out, dare to let the general slap the ass, be careful that the general slaps you to death......"

“......”

Everyone laughed, Lin Wei's heart was relieved, and he realized the other side of Lei Shaoxuan, and decided that although Lei Shaoxuan was young, he was not a person who was arrogant and mean, but he didn't know that in fact, this was just a habit that Lei Shaoxuan brought from the death row camp.

"Shut up!" Lei Shaoxuan was in a good mood and said impatiently, "Listen to Lord Lin first." ”

Lin Wei smiled and said: "In order to quickly occupy the south bank of the Heng River, the King of Wei ordered to transfer 40,000 people from Qizhou and Xuanzhou and 50,000 people from the logistics line to cross the river immediately, and gather 10,000 horses and horses of the Stinger army to form the Eastern Army, which was under the unified command of the general and quickly occupied all strategic points on the south bank of the Heng River. ”

"When will these troops be able to cross the Heng River, and what is the plan of the military department?" Lei Shaoxuan frowned.

He has been in the Northwest Military Camp for many years, and has served as a lieutenant in the Military Intelligence Department, and has been in the country for nearly two years to supervise the management of administrative affairs. To form the Eastern Army with 100,000 men and horses, if we want to form a complete organization, we must not only rely on combat units, but also involve logistics, intelligence, staff decision-making, issuing orders, and assigning tasks.

"The river crossing troops, there are twelve battalions, the general needs to issue a combat order, and the logistics and other logistics still need to obtain support from the logistics line first, and there is no need for the general to worry about it, which is decided by the king of Wei taking into account the actual situation on the front line. ”

"King Wei's dictation: You can solve the trouble you cause. Wang Anzheng said, "There are two main tasks of the Eastern Army, controlling the prefectures and counties on the south bank of the Henghe River and disaster relief!"
