Liu Xun did not withdraw his troops, and he is still increasing his troops. The battle is not over yet, what kind of merit and reward are you doing at this time? ”

The reward for meritorious deeds has always been the highlight after the war, but now Zhang Yunlong feels that the second war in Hanzhong has not ended, so he does not plan to hold a meritorious service conference.

Although the Empress Dowager's envoy came to Hanzhong again and conveyed the Empress Dowager's words - the Empress Dowager thought that Liu Xun would not attack again, but Zhang Yunlong did not think so, so he postponed the date of the meritorious deed reward again and again.

Zhang Shuai's decision was not too much of a problem, but Liu Xun had not moved for a month, and at this time the Liang army began to be restless, some people whispered, discussing all kinds of gossip between factions in the army, and gradually "Tang Yuan privately swallowed 10,000 hardcover iron armor of the Shu Han Imperial Forest Army" surfaced and became a key topic of discussion.

"This time, two of the six divisions of our Shence Hanzhong Army have been defeated, and the remaining four have also been disabled. When it comes to military exploits, of course, we are the first. ”

The one who spoke was a lieutenant general under Lin Chongyang, named Wei Wufu, who was in charge of the Fifth Division of Hanzhong and the Thirteenth Division of the Shence Army.

Li Liang patted his brain and said: "Let you say this, our Chang'an army of 43,000 people has been beaten into 6,000, what's the matter, is the battle not brave enough, according to the proportion of casualties, the credit is greater than you." ”

Zhang Pan smiled bitterly: "People are talking about military merits, not the number of deaths." The fact that your people die a lot is not a credit, but a sign that you have lost the battle. ”

"Then it should be counted according to the person killed?" Li Liang laughed at himself: "Then we must have lost, and we didn't even gnaw down 20,000 people." ”

"I think it should be counted according to the number of people killed." Wei Wufu's lieutenant general was also at the banquet, and said such a sentence, and after speaking, he smiled at Wei Wufu, after the battle, according to statistics, their fifth division killed the most people, because they were mainly responsible for the main peak bow and crossbow.

"And the seized supplies are counted." Zhang Pan took a sip of wine: "Originally, there was a complete set of methods for calculating military merits, and we rough people were too lazy to study it, but in fact, there were many ways in it." I heard a secretary of the marshal say that the same military exploits can be given completely different military merits according to the different faces of the marshals. ”

"If you want me to say, it shouldn't be so troublesome, it should be seen who kills more people, who robs more things, even if he has great military achievements." Wei Wuwu's adjutant general said again.

Ni Tianding, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "According to what you say, the Xuanjia Army should take the lead, and I heard that they captured the equipment of the Shu Han Imperial Forest Army, which is said to be a very fine iron armor, made of chain mail and plate armor, with excellent thickness, hardness and toughness, and 35,000 hanging." It is estimated that they ate it, and they couldn't spit it out. ”

"Alas, have you heard that half of the 35,000 hangs were fished out by Tang Yuan, and I also heard that the actual commander of the attack on Chenggu was Tang Yuan, not Zhang Zhikui. You see, I have long said that Zhang Yunlong and Tang Yuan must not be clear, Zhang Yunlong would rather hand over the command to the vanguard officer than to the second deputy marshal, which is not in line with the rules. This is also why Tang Yuan later led the troops back to Yunting Mountain to save Zhang Yunlong, but Zhang Zhikui did not go. Wei said mysteriously.

"Really?" Li Liang's eyes widened: "Tang Yuan's kid is not a person, you don't mention him in front of me, he betrayed our Shence Army, and when we meet in the future, we will not talk." ”

"What else can you do if you don't speak?" Wei Wuyuan's deputy general laughed strangely, and said in a strange manner: "Tang Yuan's reputation is great, now it is known to the whole army, and his prestige is getting higher and higher, who can compare with him, it took more than a year to unify the six countries of the Western Regions, which even Min Yue of the Great Pillar Country has not been able to do." ”

"It's different, don't talk nonsense." Wei Wuyuan said: "When Dazhu Guo was in Jiaohe City, the Hexi Corridor was closed, and without any support, he would not send troops to attack the Six Kingdoms, but when Tang Yuan went, the situation had changed, and behind him was the eight-thousand-year-old Tang Su's Longyou soldiers and the Hexi soldiers of the nine-rank generals. If we were to replace us, we would be able to sweep the six countries as well. ”

"I don't think so." Zhang Pan did not hesitate to pour cold water on Wei Wu, "Maybe you didn't read the battle report carefully, Tang Yuan didn't fight a few battles at all when he unified the six countries of the Western Regions. Alright, let's stop complaining, like a bunch of shrews. Let's discuss how to get the 35,000 hardcover iron armor in hand. ”

"What can be done?" Li Liang asked.

"Now those iron armors are being placed in General Lin's Dingjun Mountain warehouse, hehe." Zhang Pan said with a wicked smile.

Hearing this, Ni Tianding didn't say a word.

——

Although Zhang Yunlong did not hold a conference on meritorious service, the secretaries of the commander-in-chief had already begun statistical work.

At this time, Su Li said to Cao Bao: "Gong Cao, why don't you go to a few secretaries to drink?" ”

Su Li, the word is straightforward, in this Hanzhong war, brought great help to Cao Bao, he replaced Cao Bao to command the troops, although he was a civilian official, but he was calm and relaxed on the battlefield, quite a Confucian general. He was not dug out of the crowd by Cao Bao, but took the initiative to find Cao Bao Mao to recommend himself, saying that he had the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and that he was talented in managing Zhong Leyi, and hoped that Cao Gong would be promoted.

There are a lot of guests in the Cao family, and Cao Bao doesn't care about feeding one more person, so he took him with him later, and after getting along for a long time, he found that the surnamed Su really had two brushes, and successively invited him two generals with good combat power, one is called Fang Jin, and the other is called Yuan Hong.

Cao Bao's biggest advantage is that he is self-aware, usually, others look up to him because he is the cousin of the Empress Dowager Cao, but he doesn't like this feeling, because the aura he invisibly puts on himself will make others jealous of him.

It is never a good thing for others to be jealous, so he usually seems extremely humble, and he is polite when he receives people and treats things, not to mention, his set of methods of hypocrisy and grievances has really won the praise of some people, and they all say that General Cao Lixian is a corporal.

"There is a reason for this. Zhang Yunlong even dared to resist the Empress Dowager's decree, let alone me, in his eyes, I am not even a bedbug, and I will never favor me when I am on merit, now, I should indeed go to these secretaries Lang Haosheng to contact and contact feelings, um..., what do you say I should send? ”

"Money."

"It's that straightforward?".

Su Li smiled and said, "Gong Cao, there is nothing in the world that can move people's hearts more than money." ”

"In a word, I like the way you say it."
