In the middle of December of the first year of Dade, Ji Hai, the imperial envoy in charge of the decree, finally arrived in Mucheng in the heavy snow, and the imperial envoy Ji remembered that the last time he came to Mucheng, it was also full of snow, and he never thought that the second time he came here, it was still a heavy snowfall, and it had to be said that the imperial envoy Ji had an extraordinary fate with the heavy snow.

After Zhang Xiaowu greeted the imperial envoy Ji to the Saibei General's Mansion, he led the generals to receive the order and listen to the reward.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Saibei general Zhang Xiaowu led the crowd to expel the dog Yi, brave and loyal to the monarch, a special royal gift of gold belt, a pair of Xuanling gold armor, a Xuantie sabre, another royal gift of five hundred taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver, one thousand silk cloth, and allow the third to ride——"

The Holy Han Empire has a clear rule that the Son of Heaven can ride nine cars, the prime minister can only ride five cars, and each department of Shangshu can ride four cars, but everyone is used to riding a horse's car. The Son of Heaven rewarded the three rides with just a face, and the three rides didn't mean anything, at most, the row was bigger on formal occasions.

Zhang Xiaowu didn't care, but he was very interested in the sabre. Due to the limitations of the casting process, the chopper he used often tore off, especially after colliding with enemy weapons, due to the sulfur mixed into the ironware during iron smelting. And the Xuantie Chopping Knife rewarded by the emperor must be refined with the best refined charcoal, and it will never be easily broken. Immediately, a military attache sent Zhang Xiaowu's reward, and Wang Yijin immediately stepped forward to take it, but he almost couldn't carry the saber, and Zhang Xiaowu was even more happy when he saw the weight.

However, Wu Song was shocked in his heart, he looked at Ruan Qingwen, Ruan Qingwen was also surprised inexplicably, only such a reward, I am afraid that this is not a reward, and it will bring bad news later.

"Zhang Xiaowu's general Xiao Kai, led the army to counterattack the Tartar Tower and won a complete victory, killed more than 12,000 Tartar rebels, rewarded a pair of Xuantie black armor, a pair of Yanling bows, three hundred and zero gold, one thousand taels of silver, and gave Xiao Kai as the general of the bus, and transferred to the military department on the same day——"

Xiao Kai was surprised, and everyone was also surprised, General Bus?

The so-called bus general was the first general who was responsible for managing the chariots of the military department, but today's battles have long passed the era of chariots, so the bus generals are mainly responsible for the emperor's travel honor guard. This position is not good, nor bad, but it is very surprising, because it means that Xiao Kai has to leave Mucheng, leave Saibei, and leave the ghost guard, but from then on he has become the emperor's protector general. Everyone wants to be a celebrity in front of the emperor, for many people, the position of bus general is the same as Wei Yuan's former car general, the bus general is responsible for the emperor's honor guard, and the former car general is responsible for the emperor's travel safety, just a close protection of the emperor, a protection of the convoy, but both of them are close ministers of the emperor.

Everyone didn't understand why the emperor favored him, after all, the bus generals were generally held by the royal family or the children of the scholars, and Xiao Kai, as the deputy general of the border army, was so promoted, which was really unreasonable. Everyone looked at Xiao Kai, Xiao Kai was also overwhelmed with surprise, looked at everyone with one of his eyes, and then looked at Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowu looked surprised, but motioned for him to take the reward.

Xiao Kai shook his head stubbornly, and said: "Your Excellency, I don't want those rewards, I want to continue to stay in Saibei, I am a big man, I don't read much, I don't know much, I don't know much, I don't want to be a bus general, I'm afraid it will damage the national ceremony." ”

Wu Song hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao is joking, he must be happy." ”

Xiao Kai was about to speak, but Ruan Qingwen grabbed him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Xiao, congratulations to General Xiao." ”

Imperial Envoy Ji was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "This is a holy decree, not a discussion, General Xiao, receive the reward, there are other adult rewards." ”

"I ......"

Zhang Xiaowu patted Xiao Kai's shoulder and ordered, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." Xiao Kai let out a long sigh, how happy he was to see it, and stepped forward to accept the reward. Zhang Xiaowu said in a low voice: "When I go to Beijing to see Wei Yuan in the future, I will contact him." Xiao Kai said: "This Jingshi is the Longtan Tiger's Den, which is not as transparent as Saibei Baili." Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your Majesty personally named you, which is to trust you and not live up to the grace of God." ”

"Ghost guard Hu Li, led the army to counterattack the dog Yi many times, meritorious service to the country, rewarded a pair of black armor of Xuantie, a pair of Yanling bows, three hundred and zero gold, one thousand taels of silver, and was transferred to Yizhou Xuelong Pass to serve as the snow guard soldier, and ordered him to form the Xuewei Hu character battalion."

Hu Li jumped up, pointed to his face, and shouted, "I'm going to Yizhou?" ”

Imperial Envoy Ji nodded and said, "Exactly, go to Yizhou." Seeing everyone looking at him, he simply explained, and said: "Everyone, I inquired about some inside information before I came, that the southwest Yizhou is close to the Xuelong Pass in Nanqiang, and the guard Jiang Ai is nearly sixty years old, and he has been stationed with illness for many years. And Jiang Ai's health is deteriorating, and Xuelongguan needs a cadre to inherit Jiang Ai's mantle in the future and raise the prestige of our country. ”

The Nanqiang people have always been barbaric, they rely on the high terrain of the mountains, hide on the plateau, often go down the mountains to plunder the property and women of the Han people, for many years has been the scabies of the empire, which can neither be cured nor have to be treated. Hu Li raised his eyebrows, smashed his mouth and said: "I don't want to go to Yizhou, I can't stand the climate over there, I heard that it is like a steamer all year round, I ...... I...... Forget it, I'll take it. Everyone laughed, but this smile was somewhat reluctant, another person was leaving, and he was going to Yizhou in the far southwest, and he might not meet again in this life, and the hall was filled with a feeling of reluctance to part.

Zhang Xiaowu sighed, Xiao Kai and Hu Li were transferred, it seems that Zu Gongmao and Shen Lindong will also be transferred, and the four generals of the Ghost Guard are afraid that they will not be able to stay.

Sure enough, Imperial Envoy Ji continued to proclaim: "The ghost guard Shen Lindong led the army to counterattack the dog Yi many times, and personally killed the head of the enemy general, rewarded a pair of black armor of Xuantie, a pair of cloud-piercing guns, three hundred and zero gold, and one thousand taels of silver, and ordered him to be transferred to Youzhou and serve as the waiting general of the Qingwu City Army in Youzhou." ”

Shen Lindong was secretly pleasantly surprised in his heart, this Qingwu City is on the southeast side of Longmen Pass, close to the sea, and the most common thing to encounter every year is the attack of Dongying pirates. There was a national war in the Dongying Kingdom, the king and the princes were at war, and the princes were at war with the princes, so that the people were displaced, and the people who could not survive and the soldiers of the Dongying became bandits and pirates. Due to the wealth of the Shenghan Empire, the Dongying pirates often drove small boats to loot regardless of the waves, as the empire's closest foothold to the Dongying Kingdom, Qingwu City naturally became the place where the pirates attacked the most, and the Qingwu people guarded the sea but did not dare to go to the sea to fish, becoming the most bitter people.
