Chapter 26: Ruling a City

In the three points after this idea flashed through Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji's minds, the holy decree read by the eunuch directly confirmed their guesses.

"Disciple: Fengzhou Yilu lieutenant Li Yan killed the enemy meritoriously, with an enemy of two hundred cavalry to kill more than 30 people, unparalleled combat power, encourage the morale of our army, shock the alien race, should be a great merit, and once dedicated the method of training, quite the way of the army, from the five products of the guerrilla general, from now on to take over the position of the main general of the Fengzhou city guard!"

"The first year of Zhenguan, October 30, Xuan."

The voice of the eunuch announcing the decree was very loud, and it was directly transmitted throughout the entire school field.

After listening to the decree, all the soldiers present had only one thought in their minds: "It's crazy! ”

You must know that Li Yan was still a recruit who had just joined the garrison from the government soldiers more than half a month ago.

In just over ten days, Li Yan was first awarded the rank of lieutenant of Yilu by the eighth level of continuous jumping, and then he was directly named a general by jumping again!

From the five pins!

If such a grade is placed in Chang'an, then it is a person who is qualified to go to the court to listen to the holy words.

And in addition to being named a guerrilla general from Wupin, Li Yan was also appointed as a defender of Fengzhou!

In other words, from now on, Li Yan will be the boss of Fengzhou!

"This ......"

Hou Junji's whole person was numb, he had thought that Li Yan would be rewarded, and even thought that Li Yan would be awarded the Xuanjie lieutenant from the sixth rank or something.

But Hou Junji never thought that His Majesty would directly give Li Yan the title of general, and he was directly appointed as the chief general of Fengzhou.

"Lao Cheng, do you think Your Majesty will be hasty? Isn't this a bit of a sprout? ”

To be honest, Hou Junji was a little worried, what he was worried about was not whether Li Yan could fulfill his responsibilities as a general, but what he was worried about was that Li Yan might lose himself in this kind of promotion speed that has never been seen since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Why, you don't believe in this kid's abilities?"

Cheng Yanjin asked directly, he felt that it was more than enough to defend a Fengzhou with Li Yan's ability.

After all, defending the city is not an expedition, it doesn't require too much experience accumulation, all that is needed is careful efforts and loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.

In Cheng Yanjin's opinion, Li Yan met all these conditions, and he also thought that Li Yan needed such an opportunity to practice.

"Forget it, anyway, with you in Fengzhou, I'm not at ease."

Hou Junji sighed and let go of his unnecessary worries, although he still didn't understand why His Majesty would let Li Yan be promoted so quickly.

At this moment, Li Yan, who received the holy decree, was also dizzy.

This is from the five products? Is this a general? This is directly in charge of Toyosu?

Although he was very surprised, Li Yan still looked at Hou Junji worriedly, he had robbed Hou Junji's position, he shouldn't be the kind of person who measured it small.

Feeling Li Yan's gaze, Hou Junji also gave a reply.

"You kid should be the guard of Fengzhou! I will go back to Chang'an to enjoy Qingfu first, and I won't accompany you to suffer the cold here! ”

Hou Junji deliberately dispelled Li Yan's concerns, and his tone was deliberately frivolous, but in the next sentence, Hou Junji became serious again.

"Li Yan, keep Fengzhou, if your previous guess comes true, there will really be a snow disaster on the grassland this year, I'm afraid that the winter in Fengzhou this year will not be easy."

"As long as you guard Fengzhou, you will have a great success in the spring of next year, and you and I may not be able to meet in Chang'an at that time!"

"One more thing, be jealous and impetuous, I know that you will be promoted quickly, but you must remember that this is because you have enough merit, if you can't make meritorious service in the future, or make a big mistake, then everything will come to naught."

Hou Junji is quite serious.

Cheng Yanjin on the side looked at this scene and secretly considered it in his heart.

He felt that what Hou Junji said was really right, now Li Shimin has made it clear that he is really paving the way for Li Yan, an illegitimate son, if Li Yan really makes meritorious contributions during the winter season this year, I am afraid that Li Yan will stand in the court next spring and become a military general with at least five grades.

"Li Yan has been taught."

Li Yan is grateful to Hou Junji, after all, if it weren't for Hou Junji, he might still be that little guy now, and his subordinates can only lead Zhang Dazhu and a group of people, and when winter comes, maybe he will be used as cannon fodder and sent out of the city to deal with the Turks who are jumping over the wall......

Just when Li Yan and Hou Junji were communicating, the eunuch suddenly heard something and interrupted the two slightly.

"By the way, General Li, there is still something in our family that I forgot to explain, Your Majesty not only named you a guerrilla general, but also rewarded you with a hundred sets of Mingguang armor, and we will arrive in Fengzhou in a few days."

The eunuch's words made Li Yan, Hou Junji, and Cheng Yanjin stunned at the same time.

A hundred sets of bright light armor?

Are you kidding? Although a hundred sets of Mingguang armor are nothing to the size of Datang, this is also a scoring period!

With the empty appearance of the Datang treasury now, wouldn't a hundred sets of Mingguang armor have to make the household in charge of money directly vomit three liters of blood?

"A hundred sets of Mingguang armor, yes, just enough for you to form an absolute elite."

Hou Junji was happy for Li Yan, as the original commander, he knew very well how poor Fengzhou was.

The approval rate of soldiers is less than 10 percent!

Most of the armor is still leather armor and cloth armor, and most of them can only be simply protected by some protective gear, and no one can have a set of full-body iron armor like Li Yan.

"General, I'll make good use of it."

Li Yan was very calm, he was just surprised that the court would transfer Mingguang armor to Fengzhou.

In fact, to be honest, there is really no shortage of armor for Li Yan, what he lacks is just the opportunity to take out the armor in the bright light.

Previously, he was only an lieutenant and could only manage a battalion of men, and it was inconvenient for Li Yan to extract too many resources from "Minecraft".

But in the future, Li Yan will be the lord of a city, and he will have the opportunity to operate in the future.

It's a big deal to find an opportunity to lead troops to plunder the Turkic wave in the opposite direction, and then hide some materials in other tribes, and finally recover them in the name of booty.

All in all, after Li Yan personally took charge of a city, the operating space was greatly improved.

"Then that's it, I should have packed up and prepared to go back to Chang'an earlier."

Hou Junji felt that he didn't seem to have anything to explain anymore, so he turned around and packed his bags.

For the time being, only Cheng Yanjin, Li Yan and the eunuch were left at the gate of the school field, and the three of them had a brief conversation, and then Cheng Yanjin and the eunuch left first.

……

At the same time, on the school field.

The people under Li Yan's command did not dare to make a noise for the time being because Li Yan was still there, but some people began to talk in a whisper.

"Dazhu, boss, is this a general directly?"

"Isn't that nonsense? Didn't you hear the eunuch read the decree? ”

"I heard it, it was...... Like a dream. ”

"Don't worry, you're not dreaming, just the boss's daily training volume, if you can dream, I'll have your surname!"
