…

Rather fall into a group than leave one behind, how could Cai still only give Liang Fangping and Wang Zongwei the opportunity to share the credit, and forget Zeng Xiaoyun and other people who can also be related to their own merits?

Therefore, while sending good news to Liang Fangping and Wang Zongwei, Cai still sent good news to Zeng Xiaoyun and others, and asked them to also send someone to discuss how to write this good news.

Of course, Cai is still not a little boy who scatters money.

Here's why:

First, he can rely on this to have a good relationship with the direct leaders above, lest someone get in the way and suddenly cause variables, so that the blood of him and the soldiers of the Jinwu Army will be shed in vain.

Second, Cai is still ready to dig into the corners of these people, but it's not a day or two, this time Cai is finally given a chance to blackmail them, if Cai still doesn't use it, how can he be worthy of himself?

All in all, the division of military merit led by Cai still proceeded smoothly, and at the same time, a large number of potential low-level colonels and even just the lowest-ranking non-commissioned officers poured into the Jinwu army to supplement the Jinwu army.

Soon, Cai Yi and the others finally reached an agreement, and then a good news was sent to Bianliang City, Tokyo in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

After Gao Yu received this good news, he was overjoyed, and went into the palace overnight to report the success to Zhao Ji.

Coincidentally, at that time, Wang Hao and Cai You were also in the palace to have fun with Zhao Ji - Wang Hao and Cai You put on short clothes and narrow pants, painted blue and red, mixed with singing and dancing artists, dwarfs, and said a lot of jokes and buoyant words of scoundrels and sluts in the market, to win Zhao Ji's heart, Zhao Ji had a lot of fun, in addition, Cai You found a gap to tell Zhao Ji that Master Li was absorbed by Zhao Ji, Zhao Yuannu was stolen and stolen by Shuai Liuxiang, and a group of literati were ready to pick up another Oiran to enrich their spare time, and Wang Zhongduan's voice is currently the highest. Cai You carefully told Zhao Ji about the extraordinaryness of this Wang Zhongduan, and also asked Zhao Ji to meet this Wang Zhongduan, saying that she was not surnamed Zhao, so there was no need to be taboo, Zhao Ji was a little moved.

At this time, Gao Yu arrived with good news.

Gao Yu was not as conservative as Cai Yi and others, he directly expanded the results of the Jin Wu army several times, and swore to Zhao Ji that as long as the Song Jiang rebel army entered the territory of Hebei, it would be difficult to fly.

Gao Yu said so much, there is no way to do it, he has been in charge of the Central Forbidden Army for many years, but the Central Forbidden Army has never fought any decent battles, and even his promotion to lieutenant has to rely on the gilding of the Northwest Forbidden Army, which makes Gao Yu really faceless.

Now, the Central Forbidden Army has finally been fighting for strength, how could Gao Yu not make a big fuss about this?

Zhao Ji was also very happy when he heard that Song Jiang's group of rebels was about to be exterminated, and he said, "Is it going to be exterminated so soon?" ”

Gao Yu had already prepared, he spread out the map in his hand, and then explained to Zhao Ji: "The tens of thousands of troops of my Central Forbidden Army have completely blocked this area, and this group of rebels can only cross the Yellow River to Hebei, Hebei has Qianning, Yongjing, Baoding, Xin'an, Ansu, Yongning, Guangxin, Shun'an and other eight Hebei forbidden armies with nearly 200,000 troops, and our Central Forbidden Army has annihilated thousands of rebels with 500 Jinwuwei, and the Hebei Forbidden Army has nearly 200,000 troops, if even this less than 10,000 rebels can't be suppressed, The official family spends tens of millions of dollars on them every year, which is too wronged. ”

Hearing Gao Yu say this, Zhao Ji also felt that it was not difficult to exterminate Song Jiang and his gang.

Gao Yu said again: "If it weren't for the fact that this group of rebels was too good at running and didn't dare to fight with our Central Forbidden Army, our Central Forbidden Army would have wiped them out a long time ago, and now this group of rebels was severely defeated by our Central Forbidden Army, and was driven into the encirclement of the Hebei Forbidden Army by our Central Forbidden Army, and was completely annihilated, which is a matter of time." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was even more happy, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is the leader of that Jin Wuwei who killed thousands with five hundred?" ”

Gao Yu said: "The official family is Cai Ying." ”

"Cai still?"

Zhao Ji was a little stunned for a while - obviously, Zhao Ji, who was in a hurry, had forgotten who Cai was still with.

Zhao Ji then looked at Cai You and said, "The surname is Cai ......."

Cai You hurriedly answered: "It is the sixth brother of the minister, the son of my second uncle." ”

After being reminded by Cai You, Zhao Ji finally remembered who Cai was still, and he said: "But that Cai Ziyin who abandoned literature and followed martial arts? ”

Cai You replied: "Exactly." ”

With Cai You's affirmation, Zhao Ji said: "No wonder he wants to abandon literature and martial arts, it turns out that he is really proficient in leading troops to fight." ”

Gao Yu received Cai Ying's heavy gift, and Cai still gave him a big face this time, so he praised Cai still without hesitation: "Not only is he proficient, if he is more than ten or twenty years later, I am afraid that our Great Song Dynasty will have another Di Hanchen." ”

Hearing Gao Yu compare Cai Ying to Di Qing, Zhao Ji was very surprised, and he said: "Aiqing is so optimistic about Cai Ziyin? ”

Gao Yu bowed deeply and said, "Yes." ”

Gao Yu said: "The minister has been in the military for more than ten years, and he has only met two young people with this potential, one of them is Liu Qi, the son of Liu Ziwen (Liu Zhongwu), and the other is Cai Ying, the two of them will be famous generals in the future, and they will be able to lead my Great Song Xiongshi to make many achievements." ”

Gao Yu is also Zhao Ji's absolute confidant, therefore, Zhao Ji is convinced of Gao Ji's words, and besides, Cai Ji's credit is there, which is real, so Zhao Ji asked Gao Ji: "According to Aiqing, how to reward Cai is still appropriate?" ”

Gao Yu said: "According to Cai's merits, he can be promoted from Dunwulang to Wugonglang many times, and he has been promoted twelve levels in a row, but the minister feels that the official family can show Cai still his kindness, and then promote him by one more level, and authorize him to enter the rampant deputy envoy (the second level of the deputy envoys of the divisions, generally not the necessary ladder for the promotion of martial officials), and the Jinwuwei under his command can be promoted to the Jinwu army, and he is allowed to serve as a commander, lead the Jinwu army, and continue to exterminate the Song Jiang rebels for the official family. ”

To be honest, according to Cai Ying's merits, this reward is not excessive.

Moreover, even if he was promoted thirteen levels in a row, Cai was still only a minor military attache from the seventh rank, and it was not worth Zhao Ji's trouble at all.

But—

Zhao Ji still attaches great importance to Cai You's opinion as a playmate, and he vaguely remembers that Cai You once thought about honing Cai You, so he turned his head and asked Cai You: "Aiqing, do you think Cai You can still take on this position?" ”

The reason why Cai You did not agree with Cai still to directly build an army was mainly because he cherished his own feathers and did not want to be affected by Cai Yi in the future.

Now Cai You has proved to Zhao Ji his "selflessness" with practical actions, in this case, Zhao Ji wants to reward Cai Yi again, but it has nothing to do with him Cai You, why should he be a villain in vain?

Besides, Cai You can't take 20% of Baixiangju's shares for nothing.

Therefore, Cai You said: "Chen originally thought that the sixth brother was just messing around, and he had no ability to command the army, and he was afraid that he would miss the major affairs of the official family, so he wanted to polish him and let him give up the martial arts and return to the literary road, and now he has proved that he does have the ability to command the army, so that he can guard the land and Anbang for the official family, as for the promotion reward that Gao Taiwei said, Weichen thinks it is also reasonable, after all, the sixth brother is a Jinshi of today's science and technology, if he hadn't abandoned the military and followed the martial arts, he would have been an official from the seventh grade. ”

Seeing that Cai You did not object, Zhao Ji looked at Wang Huang again.

Although Wang Huang has a lot of problems, after all, he is the minister of the ruler, and he will be the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person in the future, so he combined with Cai Ying's age, he felt that Cai still should not be rewarded like this, you know, there is no reward, there is no seal, and in the end there can only be two endings, either Zhao Ji gives death to Cai Ying, or Cai still creates Zhao Ji's rebellion, so, in Wang Huang's view, whether it is for the Great Song Dynasty or for Cai Zhen, Cai still should not be so rewarded.

But Wang Hao just wanted to open his mouth to tell his reason, and Liang Shicheng, who was not far away, suddenly waved his hand without a trace, signaling Wang Hao not to disturb Cai Yan's promotion.

Seeing this, Wang Hao swallowed the words that had already come to his lips, and changed his words: "Only when there are meritorious rewards and punishments can people be convinced." ”

The three important ministers all agreed, and this is really just a small military attache from the seventh grade, and there is no need for Zhao Ji, the emperor, to bother, so Zhao Ji no longer hesitated, and said: "Then according to Gao Aiqing, promote Cai is still the right martial artist, reward Cai is still a doorman, and the commander of the Jinwu army, in addition, reward Cai is still a piece of armor, a good horse, and twenty silver silks." ”

There is nothing to say about the commander of the Right Takero and the Jingo Army, one is the thirty-fourth rank of military attaché (equivalent to the rank of later generations), and the other is the real power, that is, the military attache who commands an army (that is, two thousand five hundred people).

And this gate Xuanzan Sheren is a position, and the addition of a military rank officer means that he is an excellent reserve talent who can take on heavy responsibilities, which is equivalent to a key training object.

It is not difficult to see from the reward given to Cai by Zhao Ji that Zhao Ji is also very optimistic about Cai Ying, at least under the respect of Gao Yu, Cai You, and Wang Hao, Zhao Ji is very optimistic about Cai Ying.

In only ten days, the reward reached Cai Ying's hand, and the soldiers of the Jinwu Army cheered, only Cai was still calm, and there was not even much joy on his face.

The generals were puzzled and asked.

Cai still replied, "I'm waiting for your reward." ”

The generals suddenly realized: "It turns out that the general is not happy with his own reward, but he is worried that our reward has not arrived." ”

This made the generals even more respectful of Cai Ying.

After a few more days, the rewards of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army came down one after another, and Cai Ying's face finally began to have joy.

When Cai Ying's most longed-for order to allow Cai Ying to recruit and expand his army came down, Cai Ying's face was really full of smiles.

Along with the reward, there was also an order to continue to suppress the bandits - the Privy Council ordered Zeng Xiaoyun and Liang Fangping to lead the bandit army to the north and completely exterminate the Song Jiang rebel army together with the Hebei Forbidden Army.

Although the Jinwu Army was upgraded from a battalion to an army, it was still subordinate to the bandit suppression army.

It's just that the Jinwu army has just experienced a big war, and it has to recruit and expand the army, so it is not in the preemptive sequence, it belongs to the emergency force - Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping and others don't even want to call the Jinwu army to fight anymore, according to them, they also give others some opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

Because Cai is still generous and can be a man, the top and bottom of the bandit army all inherit Cai Ying's affection, and they are embarrassed to save Cai Zhen's face.

Therefore, Cai still asked Zeng Xiaoyun and Liang Fangping for instructions, saying that there was no war between the left and right Jinwu armies for the time being, so he wanted to take a detour to Xiangzhou and recruit some Xiangzhou soldiers who could fight there.

After obtaining the consent of Zeng Xiaoyun and Liang Fangping, Cai still quickly led the Jinwu army to march straight to Xiangzhou, the cradle of the Yue family's army......
