Chapter Twenty-Five: Du Yu Waits

Guo Shao and others continued to return to the dynasty with the army.

Along the way, he really felt it: getting ahead and being rich is cool! Even if the official has not been promoted for the time being, and the money has not been rewarded, the benefits he has received so far are only a little bit, but it is only a little increase, which also makes him feel extremely comfortable.

When I went out on the expedition, there were many things in long and short bags, and I had to help transport the tents and other things of the team with a mule, which was better than nothing, and I had to carry a lot of necessary items on my back, and I set up camp from time to time, which was tedious and heavy and miserable.

But on the way back, because Guo Shao and they had more than 20 military horses, even if they didn't ride so many horses and carry things slowly, it was completely enough, not to mention that the soldiers knew that he was going to rise sharply, and they all showed great respect and even stammered...... On a long-distance trip, it is indescribable to lead the horse and walk away. Guo Shao remembered the time when he was in college, and he envied and fantasized about the chic of other classmates having a car at home, and now he seems to have a faint taste of satisfying his wishes.

…… The soldiers of the envoys of each town were rewarded one after another, and then diverted back to the station, and the forbidden army still returned to Tokyo.

Along the way, although a few people were counted for their ineffective fighting, many more soldiers were commended. People get promoted and get money, which is a rich reward for walking thousands of miles and fighting hard with their heads! And I will be able to go home soon, and I will be able to go home with an official position and a reward, which is really joyful! It's rare to have such a wonderful trip, and if there is, it's the way home.

When Guo Shao thought of going home, the first thing he thought of was Yulian. This woman is just hired in the name of employment, but somehow, Guo Shao has a kind of family-like care, so kind and warm.

If there was no unknown woman like Yulian in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, at this moment, Guo Shao would feel a little lonely and a little desolate when he saw everyone in high spirits, right?

In "One Hundred Years of Solitude", it is said that when people migrate to a place where their relatives are buried, it becomes their hometown...... In Tokyo, where there are five dynasties and ten countries, Guo Shao's relatives have not yet been buried, but there are already people he cares about here, and he feels that he is becoming more and more integrated into this place in this era, and he will slowly become one of them.

At the beginning of July, the army arrived at Chenqiaoyi, only forty miles away from Tokyo, and the reward given to Guo Shao was cashed.

It is said that she met the honor guard of Mrs. Wei Guo in front, she missed the monarch, and went out of the city forty miles to greet the official family; He was accompanied by Feng Dao, a former prime minister who stayed in Tokyo and said before the war that his official family was not as capable as Tang Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The people from Tokyo brought a lot of money, wine and meat to treat the army, and suddenly Chen Qiaoyi was festive, more lively than the New Year.

The official family seemed to be very happy, and immediately restored Feng Dao's phase, completely ignoring the previous suspicions; Zhao Chao, the commander of the control of the crane, persuaded the official family to say the wrong thing before the war, and was relieved of the military power and imprisoned in Huaizhou.

Then the officials couldn't wait to appreciate their merits in the army at Chenqiaoyi, and a large number of meritorious soldiers were satisfactorily rewarded. Guo Shao got the news, and his reward surprised him very much: he was promoted to the inner hall and waited for him!

The first to get the news was a high-ranking military general who was qualified to enter and leave the emperor's army camp. Before the generals of the Xiaodi Army could come over to inform Guo Shao to face the saint, Xiang Xun came first.

This time, Xiang Xun did not send someone to invite Guo Shao to go like he had met before, but personally went to the Xiaodi army camp to find someone.

"The inner sanctum is all waiting for you!" Even Xiang Xun was very excited, and the emotion on his skeletal face could not be hidden, "As soon as Prime Minister Wang Pu and Wang Cheng recommended it, the commander of the palace, Zhang Du, agreed very much, and Shi Yanchao also said a human word, even the queen ...... By the way, the official family said in public that they would crown Mrs. Weiguo as the queen. The queen will help you speak too! At that time, the queen was sitting next to the official house, and she said softly, I didn't hear it clearly, but it must have been a good word......"

Totally exceeded expectations! The establishment level of the inner temple is an army, and the number is not large, but it is the real emperor's army, and any meritorious work is under the emperor's nose. All in all a very good job.

What the? Commander, that's too far off! There are usually left and right compartments under the army, and the commanders of the compartments are all at the level of commanders; Below the carriage is the conductor...... And Du Yuhou is equivalent to a title of deputy governor.

In Guo Shao's view, it is like the deputy commander of a certain ace army directly under the Central Army. He will only turn 19 this autumn, and it is unthinkable to be a deputy commander at such an age.

Those who were born in warlord families, and those whose fathers were crowned kings, such as Fu Yanqing, have served in the inner hall and other positions. Guo Shao's background is really not easy.

Guo Shao was already a little out of shape, patted his thigh and said, "Hey! Ay! I owe you a lot of favors, and I can't pay it off for the rest of my life! ”

Xiang Xun laughed and said, "You can't say that completely. Some people, even if someone recommends it, can't support the wall with mud themselves, who has a way? This is also inseparable from Guo Yuhou's victory in the three armies and his immortal achievements. ”

Guo Shao hugged his fists and said: "Brother Xiang, if Brother Xiang doesn't dislike it, I will be commensurate with a brother in the future." ”

Xiang Xun laughed again: "Okay, Brother Guo!" ”

The two talked happily, and there were Yang Biao and other brothers and soldiers standing next to them, so they didn't dare to speak casually. Even Yang Biao, who was unruly at the beginning, looked adoring in front of Guo Shao at this time. The power of power can be resisted by extraordinary people.

After a while, Guo Shao calmed down a little and asked in a casual tone, "Can the queen still speak about military and political affairs?" ”

Xiang Xun said disapprenously: "Brother doesn't know, the soldiers respect the queen of the Fu family very much!" When the official family was happy, it was okay, as soon as he started a fire, he casually grabbed a person who didn't like his eyes and dragged him out to beat him half to death, which was light. When the queen was still the wife of Weiguo, she often advised the officials to treat the soldiers well; The official family also listens to her, who doesn't respect such a graceful and dignified queen? ”

Xiang Xun pondered for a moment before he said softly: "King Wei gave birth to a good girl. ”

Guo Shao immediately understood, in fact, when he was fighting the Liao army in Xinzhou, I am afraid that Xiang Xun was also angry with King Wei, but he didn't say it.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and couldn't help asking: "There is a general named Zhao Kuangyin, who made a special trip to commend me in Gaoping, but I don't know if I was rewarded?" ”

Xiang Xun glared and said: "During the Battle of Gaoping, Zhao Kuangyin was by the side of the official family, which was a rescue work!" At that time, those people, not to mention the generals, Ma Renyu of the inner temple was a soldier, shouting something 'the lord humiliates the ministers to death' and shot violently, regardless of his life, and as soon as the battle of Gaoping ended, he immediately raised his bow and arrows to control the crane and command the envoys...... Zhao Kuangyin: I didn't know who it was before the war, there are so many generals and colonels in the forbidden army, how do you know who is who? But now everyone must know each other, and they have been promoted again and again, and it is already 'suitable to wait for the palace'. ”

There are also many kinds of Du Yu Hou, which is the meaning of the deputy commander, there are Yu Hou in front of the palace, Yu Hou in the army, Yu Hou in the box, etc.; Zhao Kuangyin's Du Yuhou is the front division of the palace, which is equivalent to a military commission and has many armies under its jurisdiction. The front of the palace is obviously bigger than the inner hall, but Zhao Kuangyin has not been officially appointed yet, just a preparation.

According to Xiang Xun, Zhao Kuangyin was just an unknown general before the Battle of Gaoping, and his position may not be high; It's only been a few months, and he has suddenly entered the reserve team of the most senior generals in the empire...... I think he is also good at seizing opportunities, the defeat of the battle of Gaoping at the beginning, almost the whole country was ruined in a battle, Zhao Kuangyin's meritorious service by the emperor's side is really a merit to save the driver, such as saving the driver, supporting, and condescending from the dragon, it is difficult to think of wealth and gratitude. Or Zhao Kuangyin is more powerful, worthy of being the talent of the founding emperor.

Of course, Guo Shao also wanted to save the car, but he didn't have a chance...... If there was a chance to be in front of the emperor at that time, and if Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Dynasty directly came to the emperor's face and killed him with one arrow, it would be powerful! Although it is barely a rescue now, the emperor did not directly feel the pressure of Zhang Yuanhui, and he shot Zhang Yuanhui to death because he heard what others said (fortunately, some people said it repeatedly), and the situation was completely different.

At this moment, someone outside the tent shouted Guo Yuhou, Guo Shao and others went out to take a look, and a military general came to report the news. The military general originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Xiang Xun's smile, he immediately faded, and it seemed that someone had taken the lead to report the good news.

The military general came forward to greet him and reported his name. Xiang Xun said: "I will leave for my brother first, and there will be a period later." ”

Guo Shao was busy praying and saying goodbye.

He immediately went to the camp of the forbidden army with the military general who reported the news to face the saint.

Guo Shao was far away from the Chinese army, and by the time they arrived, many of the rewarded generals might have arrived. Because outside the big tent with the banner of the Zhou Dynasty, there were two rows of weapons resting on the knife holder, and Guo Shao almost had no place to put it after he untied the saber.

As soon as I entered the big tent, I saw that the civil and military were on both sides, and a lot of people came. Someone in front shouted: "The inner hall is waiting for Guo Shao to see you!" ”

Guo Shao hurriedly bowed forward, and at a glance, there was no one around him who he knew, maybe Zhang Yongde was in the list, but Guo Shao had never seen it; I wanted to see it last time, but I didn't see it. Then Guo Shao clarified the relationship: Zhang Yongde and himself could not have anything to do with it before, and now it has nothing to do with it, guessing that Zhang Yongde's care is completely because of the favor of Queen Fu. It doesn't mean that he has taken care of you and treated you as his own; Also score clearly!

On the contrary, his status is far inferior to Zhang Yongde's Xiang Xun, but he can make good friends; Zhang Yongde is much more powerful than Xiang Xun, but no one wants to see him, obviously not as sincere as Xiang Xun's friendship.

In the big tent, I didn't find Zhao Kuangyin there for the time being, the black-faced Bao Qingtian of the general's version, Guo Shao still knew him when he saw it. The main reason is that Guo Shao didn't dare to look left and right at this time, so he didn't dare to take a closer look.
