It's an open-air feast on a huge scale.

Xiao Yuan slaughtered cattle and sheep, rewarded the three armies, and drank and chatted with all the soldiers in the barracks.

In terms of governing the army, he has strict military discipline, but he is never stingy, and he has clear rewards and punishments.

At the suggestion of Shangguan Wenruo, he established a new military system, regardless of his background, only in terms of military merits, and set up a third-class meritorious knight, one is the lowest, but once the military merits are in the body, if he is given a knighthood, it is also very different from ordinary soldiers, especially the third-class meritorious knights, not only the military salary is doubled, and the government gives housing and good land, even after being discharged from the army, it is also guaranteed, and one step further, it is a genuine official position.

This is a great reform, which completely affirms the military exploits of the soldiers and completely avoids the situation in which the soldiers kill the enemy on the battlefield but get nothing.

There is no doubt that this kind of military system once again boosted the morale of the Qin army in the era of war when human lives were like ants.

In the Qin army, no matter if you are a civilian, or if you come out of the ravine, no one can erase this merit if you have military merits, and you will definitely be promoted! On the contrary, no matter how good your conditions are, if you don't have military achievements, don't even think about it!

All the soldiers were excited.

Because after the battle against Xirong, all those who had military merits were given by Xiao Yuan, many veterans, killed several enemies, and were directly promoted to centurion, and other soldiers received many knights.

And for the general's merits in this battle, Xiao Yuan did not miss it.

Zhao Mu's department, stationed in Snow City, beheaded more than 10,000 enemy troops, and he and his deputy general Zhang Dashan almost jumped a few levels.

The same is true for Su Yi, Guan Kui, Goldman Sachs, etc.

Xu Hu beheaded Wuna in Beiling, killed Gule in Qingshan, and also protected the master, and was also directly promoted by Xiao Yuan from one step to General Huwei.

This Tiger Guard General, to put it simply, is Xiao Yuan's Captain of the Guard.

Right now, Xiao Yuan is in the main position directly above, with generals at all levels on both sides below, a case in front of him, and below him, the soldiers of the three armies sitting together.

Everyone was excited about this feast, and they all toasted Xiao Yuan frequently.

"Come on! All the soldiers drink together! ”

"Respect for your lordship—" Everyone held their glasses together, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

As for the Snow Clan, such a help, providing all the important military information, Xiao Yuan naturally will not be stingy, that is a reward of a lot of gold, silver and silk.

After another glass of wine, he also looked at Mu Lianying at hand, and asked with a smile: "Miss Mu, in such a scene, why not drink a cup." ”

"I don't drink." Mu Lianying still has that cold appearance, she eats Sven, slow and logical, and is simply not affected by the surrounding atmosphere at all.

"Uninteresting." Xiao Yuan muttered, and then as if he remembered something, he leaned over and said, "By the way, Miss Mu, this official has a reluctant request, I hope you can agree." ”

Mu Lianying put down her chopsticks and looked at him.

"Can it ...... Can you stay in the army......

"No, I'm going back to the Snow Clan tomorrow." Mu Lianying directly refused.

"Listen to me." Xiao Yuan said: "The intelligence of our army is now in urgent need of improvement, if the Snow Clan can stay and guide this work, this officer will be grateful." ”

"Nope."

"Miss Mu can offer any conditions."

"What conditions can I ask you, and also, you rewarded Lin Chu before, this battle, the military situation, in fact, he is in charge." Mu Lianying said.

"This ......" Xiao Yuan was a little speechless, this woman is really, soft and hard don't eat, he was helpless, held back for a long time, and then said: "I thought you would help, it seems that I think too much." ”

"I'm going back to the Snow Clan." She still said the same thing.

"I need your help." She repeated, and Xiao Yuan also repeated.

Mu Lianying was silent.

During the time that the two have known each other, the relationship is not very good, but it is definitely not bad, and even sometimes, there will be an illusion of friends.

It wasn't until he paused for a long time that Mu Lianying said: "I can let Lin Chu stay and help you, his tracking and stealing intelligence skills are among the best in the Snow Clan, but he has to agree to this matter himself." ”

"Oh?" When Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said with a cup: "Then thank you Miss Mu, come, I will toast you." ”

"Oh, forget you don't drink......"

After the celebration banquet, the next day, Mu Lianying was about to return to the Snow Clan, and before leaving, she also told Lin Chu about Xiao Yuan's request.

After the latter listened, he didn't hesitate, knelt directly on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Obey the orders of the holy woman." ”

Mu Lianying shook her head secretly, she knew, in fact, Lin Chu wanted to stay in Qinzhou.

This is not difficult to understand, the Snow Clan is hidden in the mountains, how can a young leader like Lin Chu be willing to nest there for the rest of his life, can he have no ideals?

Who doesn't want to soar?

Mu Lianying didn't say anything more, and when Xiao Yuan saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Lin Chu, and said with great joy: "Okay, okay, from today onwards, General Lin will temporarily lead the military intelligence agency of our Qin Army and command the department." ”

He directly changed his name to General Lin, and his meaning was already obvious, and when Lin Chu heard this, he was flattered and said: "Thank you Lord Taishou for promoting, I am panicking." ”

"Huh? With General Lin in charge, this official believes that from now on, our Qin army will inevitably have a pair of heavenly eyes. Xiao Yuan smiled heartily.

Seeing the two of them like this, Mu Lianying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, then glanced at Xiao Yuan, and said, "Let's go." ”

Her words were simple, and when she finished speaking, she also turned and left.

"I'll send Miss Mu ......"

Lin Chu's stay made Xiao Yuan satisfied.

After the matter was dealt with here, he immediately sent a piece of music to the imperial court, and while reporting the results of the battle to the Son of Heaven, he also reached out to the imperial court to ask for money to build the Qin Pass.

More than half a month later, the Imperial Court Hall was assembled.

Hearing what the minister played, Shang Rui's eyes widened at first, and then he said again and again: "This Xiao Yuan, really, you see, I haven't asked him for money yet, he actually asked me to get up, how can I have the money to give him......"

"Your Majesty." Zhong Bai stood up, and Shi Li said: "Xiao Yuanli Ke Xirong, preparing to build Qin Pass, is also for the sake of the northwest border, this matter, the imperial court should consider one or two." ”

"What is not considered! My palace hasn't been built yet! How can there be money for him! No money! Shang Rui said directly.

"Then this ......" Zhong Bai was choked, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Shang Rui said again: "However, Xiao Yuan's great achievement in breaking Xirong, I will still give the reward I should give." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Bai hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, Xiao Yuan has traveled thousands of miles, Yicheng Twelve, and retreated to Xirong. ”

"Ridiculous!" Lu Bolin stood up and sneered: "Xiao Yuan is from a commoner, and the position of a prince is so noble, how can he say that he will give it!" ”
