In the northern Xinjiang military camp, Cong is waiting for the military doctor to change the medicine for himself, put on his armor, and walked out of the camp tent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now the torches have been lit in the barracks, and in the distance, there is the yellow sand in the sky.

More than 100,000 troops were stationed at the edge of the desert, and the battalion of sergeants was ready, waiting for the commander to give an order, and then they crossed the desert and hit the royal city of the Beihu, and never suffered from the north.

Shangguan Zizhan sat outside Cong Shixing's big tent and drank a sip of wine from his wine bag.

The desert in the north is cold at night, and drinking is to warm up.

Cong is line was so cold that he shivered, stretched out his hand to Shangguan Zizhan and said, "Give me some." ”

Shangguan Zizhan only took a sip, then put away the wine bag and said with a smile: "Childe can't drink now." ”

Cong Shixing pouted: "It's boring." "But he is not a person who is stubborn with others in this kind of thing, nor is he a person who has a prince's frame, and if Shangguan Zizhan doesn't give it, he won't drink it.

The two of them sat and stood, both looking into the distance, thinking about the upcoming battle.

At the moment, it is not known who is singing in the barracks.

First one, then two, then more than ten, and finally the singing of the company battalion.

The absurd tune sings the pride of the sky.

Cong Shixing also sang two sentences along, and Shangguan Zizhan originally wanted to sing along, but as soon as Cong Shixing spoke, he stopped singing.

The singing voice of the fourth prince ...... It's too ugly to hear, Shangguan Zizhan thought with a smile.

Cong is line but didn't care, after singing, he looked up at the starry sky above the desert, and asked Shangguan Zizhan: "Are you on duty today?" ”

Shangguan Zizhan shook his head: "No, it's just that I have some feelings in my heart, and I can't sleep." ”

Cong Shixing's chest injury was a little painful, he leaned on the camp tent, and said: "Pacifying Northern Xinjiang is Taizu's wish since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he has never really calmed down, only in the time of Emperor Wen, there was the longest peace, and when Emperor Wu was in chaos, Northern Xinjiang began to be unpeaceful again." ”

Shangguan Zizhan listened, nodded and said, "Yes, this battle can also comfort the ancestors and ancestors." ”

Cong Shixing was silent for a moment and said, "In fact, the stability of northern Xinjiang is also the wish of the old Lian Gong, so he will bring out such a town border army." Speaking of which, my master is really a master, but it's a pity that he can't see it in today's battle. ”

Shangguan Zizhan couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Then why did Lian Gong go to Haijiang again?" ”

Cong Shixing shook his head: "Master rarely talks about things in Northern Xinjiang. ”

Shangguan Zizhan wanted to ask again, but looking at Cong Shixing's expression that he didn't want to say any more, he didn't say this, but began to talk about the future war.

The battlefield comrades during this period of time have made these two people understand each other a lot, and because of Su Yuzhu's relationship, the relationship between the two has become very close.

Cong Shixing appreciates Shangguan Zizhan very much, although this young man is still one year younger than himself, but his skills are really first-class.

Only one ability to judge the direction of the stars and determine the direction with the wind is enough for him to gain a foothold in the army.

During a casual conversation, Cong Shixing asked Shangguan Zizhan where he had learned such a skill, and Shangguan Zizhan only said that he was a teacher, but did not say who his teacher was.

Cong Shixing didn't ask in detail, but he felt a little sigh when he heard him say that the teacher had passed away.

When the two were gossiping here, an officer came over and said, "The fourth prince, the general, and the angel officer have arrived at the commander's camp, and Zheng Shuai asked the two to come over." ”

When Cong Shixing heard this, he nodded: "I know, you go first." ”

The official saluted and left, and Cong Shixing patted Shangguan Zizhan on the shoulder: "After tonight, it will probably be the fourth-grade military rank, and the martial emperor dynasty has reached this day, and you are the first one to get the fourth-grade military rank before reaching the weak crown." ”

Shangguan Zizhan smiled: "Tonight is probably the last time I will call you Gongzi." ”

Cong is line was silent for a while before he said to Shangguan Zizhan: "You and your eldest sister are really the same character," he said, he rarely said with a straight face, "In the future, it is best not to say such things involving the royal family." More sentences are more than one life-calling. ”

Shangguan Zizhan was slightly silent.

He did pay little attention to these things, and at this moment, when he heard Cong Shixing say this, he knew that it was his kindness, so he nodded.

Cong is line has always been serious but not a cup of tea, and then changed his smiling face: "Let's go, let the angel just wait." ”

Shangguan Zizhan smiled, followed him, and went to Zheng Xu's commander's camp.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a white-faced eunuch in his forties standing in a large tent, holding a holy decree.

Cong is line recognized that it was Wang Fu, the eunuch who was the writer next to Emperor Zhaoming.

Zheng Xu saw Cong is walking in, and asked first: "The fourth prince is getting better now?" ”

Cong Shixing rubbed his chest and said with a smile: "Thank you Coach for remembering, it's much better." ”

Zheng Xu nodded, he didn't look as irritable as when he was at home, he looked old and serious, and said to the eunuch who sent the edict: "Please also ask the envoy to pass on the holy decree." ”

Now in this big tent, a prince, a prince, a marquis, six generals, and more than a dozen deputy generals are all heroes of this expedition to the north, so Wang Fu is also very respectful, and said with a smile: "Pass on Your Majesty's holy decree!" ”

All of them were in armor, and immediately they knelt down on one knee to obey the order.

I listened to Wang Fudao: "Your Majesty's personal edict, the generals will make meritorious contributions to the Northern Expedition, and strengthen the voice of Dayong......

The more than 100 words sprinkled with joy are all words of praise.

After the praise, it was a series of seals: "The prince is brave this time, I am very pleased, and I give a pair of golden dragon armor; The four sons are lined, wise and courageous, and the king of Wu is crowned, and one should be etiquette from the prince; Coach Zheng Xu, with outstanding contributions, was awarded the title of Duke of Wu'an, and was crowned the general of Shangzhuguo, all with the etiquette of a first-class public; Su Ci, the lord of Tianmu Pass, has made outstanding achievements and attacked the position of Marquis of Boyang......"

Cong is line is more concerned about the Su family than about his own affairs, and after hearing this, he nodded secretly.

According to his observation some time ago, Su Yuzhu should be very satisfied with this matter.

After that, more than 20 large and small generals were sealed, and Shangguan Zizhan and Zhonglang were directly promoted to the cloud cavalry general of the fourth grade.

All the soldiers of the Zhenbian Army were rewarded for their meritorious deeds based on the number of enemies captured, and the bereaved families and wounded of the fallen soldiers were given bereavement pensions.

And this will was announced to the end, which was a shocking passage: "Yuzhu, the daughter of Sumen Shuqing, adheres to her father's will, sees through the treacherous plans of the northern enemy, saves the driver, offers advice and generals, protects the land and defends the territory, although she is a woman, she also has meritorious service, and she is promoted to loyalty and righteousness, and all etiquette is recorded from the first-class public record......"

The generals were also stunned by this sudden news.

So much so that even the last sentence of the holy decree said that in order to congratulate this great victory, in May of the tenth year of Zhaoming, Wenwu Enke and Guangluo talents should be added, and everyone had no heart to listen to it.

And Cong Shixing first thought that he had heard it wrong, but after making sure that he had heard it correctly, he secretly laughed.

He told Emperor Zhaoming about Su Yuzhu's strategy to break the enemy, just to ask Emperor Zhaoming to give Su Yuzhu a title such as a county lord while Emperor Zhaoming was still thinking about Su Shu.

With the title of Yulu, Su Yuzhu will no longer look at other people's faces.

But Cong Shixing really didn't expect that Emperor Zhaoming directly gave Su Yuzhu the title of Duke of Loyalty.

There's nothing wrong with that.
