Chapter 104: Reward
"Good fellows! In this way, the earth movement a few days ago was actually summoned by General Hua by casting a spell? ”
After listening to Tang Sheng's story, Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't hold back any longer, and was the first to open his mouth and ask.
"Huh? Could it be that General Wen Yuan also felt it? ”
Tang Sheng didn't know how widespread the earthquake was, he thought it was just an earthquake near Qiankun Mountain. But at this moment, when he heard Zhang Liao say this, he realized that the scope of the earthquake was more than that.
"Of course I feel it!" Zhang Liao said while reminiscing:
"On that day, I just came back from buying a pair of celadon statues from the market. As a result, it didn't work once, and I was shattered as soon as I got home. Alas! It turns out that it was all given by General Baihua? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
When the laughter dissipated, I heard Gao Shun on the side also say:
"Well, it's not just Hongnong, I met a group of caravans yesterday, and I heard them say that Luoyang and Chang'an also felt the earthquake."
Hearing that the earthquake summoned by Huaxing was so wide, a hint of caution flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.
Soon, I saw him put down the wine glass in his hand, squinted his eyes and asked Huaxing:
"General Hua is really powerful! I don't know where you learned your Dao magic and magic? ”
Huaxing had long expected that the other party would ask this question, and immediately hugged his fists and replied:
"I once met a master by chance and learned some Qimen Dunjia skills. As for the name of the master, the other party has not told him, and it is really difficult for his subordinates to tell him. ”
"Oh, that's right......"
After thinking for a while, I heard Lu Bu ask again:
"This technique is very powerful, so wouldn't it be easy for the general to attack the city in the future?"
Of course, Hua Xing knew what Lu Bu's purpose was, and in the next second, he said the words that had already been prepared:
"Back to the general's words, the conditions for this technique to be activated are extremely harsh, and it is not easy for the general to summon if he wants to. The day before yesterday, it was by chance that all the conditions were met, and the surrender was successful. If it is placed at any other time, it will not be effective. In addition, the earthquake may seem to be very large, but it is very small. Even when used in siege, it is difficult to get miraculous results. ”
Hearing Hua Xing say this, Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully.
The look of worry that had just gathered in his eyes quickly dissipated.
After chatting about the earthquake, Tang Sheng read out their "harvest" again at the request of Lu Bu:
"In this battle, our army destroyed more than 500 enemy troops and captured 600 alive. Thirty-seven carts of grain and grass were seized, a thousand taels of silver, a number of jewels, two thousand weapons, and one hundred horses. Other types of materials have not yet been counted......"
Before this, Lu Bu really didn't expect that in such a small cottage, such a rich material would be hidden.
In today's troubled times, even if you capture an ordinary city, you may not be able to get such a reward.
Therefore, after listening to Tang Sheng's words, Lu Bu was not only satisfied, but even a little overjoyed! Immediately raised his glass and grinned:
"Hahaha! Good, good, good! This battle was a beautiful victory! Huaxing, you have made a great contribution this time, what kind of reward do you want, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Hearing Lu Bu ask about the reward, Hua Xing's first reaction was: If he can be allowed to enter and leave the Lu Mansion casually, it will be better than any reward!
But this kind of thing, Huaxing must not say it directly, otherwise the other party will have to be suspicious.
So, after thinking twice, I saw Hua Xing stand up from his seat, clasp his fists at Lu Bu and say:
"Returning to the general's words, the last general himself did not ask for anything. But there are three things...... I hope the general approves it. ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded curiously:
"Which three, let's hear them!"
"First, I hope that the general will take out some silver taels and grain and grass from the captured materials, and reward the 1,000 soldiers who accompanied me. Each of them did a great job this time, and without their help, it would have been impossible for them to win. ”
"yes, that's right."
After nodding, Lu Bu arranged the matter to Chen Gong on the spot and asked him to deal with it tomorrow.
"Second, a total of thirteen people were killed in this expedition. It is hoped that the general can give a pension to their families as a sign of love. ”
The pension system has existed for a long time, but not all soldiers can enjoy it.
For example, in Lu Bu's army, less than 20% of the elite soldiers can enjoy the system.
And the vast majority of ordinary soldiers do not have any pension at all.
For these people, death is death, and neither the deceased nor the family members will receive a dime in compensation.
And the thirteen people in Huaxing's team are also in this situation, so Huaxing mentioned it in public.
Hearing that there were only thirteen people, Lu Bu agreed without thinking about it, and handed over the matter to Gao Shun and asked him to handle it on the same day.
"Thank you, General, for your kindness!"
After hugging his fists and thanking him, he listened to Huaxing again:
"Third, in the eyes of the last general, the person who has contributed the most to this expedition is the deputy general Tang Sheng! His subordinates had the courage to ask the general for a general position on his behalf as a reward. ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention everyone's reaction, Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side eating melons and listening, was taken aback on the spot.
He never expected that Huaxing's third request would be to help him ask for an official position.
For a while, Tang Sheng's heart was both grateful and nervous.
His eyes kept switching between Lu Bu and Hua Xing, his face was flushed, his breath was short, and his little heart was about to jump out.
Since it was the last request, Lu Bu did not rush to express his position, but looked at Hua Xingdao with a smile:
"General Hua, if I agree to this, then this is the end of today's reward. I can't give you any more canonizations...... So, do you want to think again? ”
Hearing this, without waiting for Hua Xing to speak, Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, couldn't wait to pull Hua Xing's sleeve and whispered:
"General, the last one, you leave me alone, ...... for yourself first"
But before he finished speaking, Hua Xing shook his sleeves and put Tang Sheng aside, and replied to Lu Bu with his fists:
"Thank you, General, for the reminder. But my request remains the same, I hope the general can promote Tang Sheng as a sign of encouragement! ”
"Good!"
After listening to Huaxing's reply, Lu Bu didn't say much, and immediately turned his head to look at Tang Sheng on the side:
"Tang Sheng listens to the order! This general remembers that you have made meritorious contributions to the thief, and today you are specially named the general of the court, and the official residence is five products, and I hope to continue to work hard in the future! ”
As early as a few days ago, Huaxing told Tang Sheng that as long as he continued to work hard, it would not be a problem to become a general in the future.
Although Tang Sheng listened to it at the time, he didn't take it seriously.
Because in his opinion, he is a businessman, not to mention, and he is powerless.
How can a guy like this be a general? Come to think of it, even he couldn't believe it.
Therefore, only Huaxing is encouraging himself.
But at this moment, Lu Bu actually made himself a five-rank general in front of so many people!
In an instant, Tang Sheng was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
stood up on the spot and bowed deeply to Lu Bu.
