As expected, His Majesty's will still caused an uproar, not long ago Zhuang Yong was demoted by one level, and now the matter of mentioning the third level has made many people in the court unhappy, but His Majesty likes to see them unhappy, of course, those people are not really ignorant, among His Majesty's retainers, only Zhuang Yong's official position is the lowest, and it is a matter of time before His Majesty raises it.

So the direction of their attack shifted to the young man named Shen Leng, and they all expressed their attitudes, thinking that it was too high for a young man to directly give the seven-turn light car captain.

The emperor reluctantly said that it would be good to ride the lieutenant on the sixth turn, so everyone was happy.

The emperor originally wanted to give Shen Leng a captain.

Then the emperor said that the merit of this young man was not only in that battle, but in changing the pattern of the sailors, and getting the most advanced warship of the Qiu Liren to be transformed, which was a thing that had a huge impact on the future.

It's just a matter of money, so no one will object, anyway, Daning is not short of money.

The sixth-grade and fifth-grade salaries, plus the share that the captain should receive, is a lot of money for Shen Leng.

The will is to make known to the world.

In the northern frontier, a group of men covered with snow and blood returned from crushed ice, and when they were thirsty, they took off the liquor hanging on their waists and poured a sip, and the hot current of fire burned from their throats to their stomachs.

The number of these men is not much, only more than thirty, but when they led the horses into the barracks, they attracted bursts of cheers, and thirty people returned, with the air of strong mountains and rivers.

"The Scouts are back!"

"Captain Meng is back!"

The soldiers gathered around, took the reins from the scout soldiers, and cheered around them.

This time, it took 27 days to return from the camp, and when I went out, there were more than 50 people, and when I came back, there were a third of them.

Meng Changan handed over his war horse to a soldier, and the soldier's eyes were full of fanatical worship when he looked at him, how long has Captain Meng of the Northern Frontier Army been here? It has become an idol for many people, what everyone once thought would never be possible, the captain has already done it, and almost half of it has been completed, although the soldiers don't know what Captain Meng is doing when he enters the Black Martial Kingdom again and again, but as long as they know that he enters the country again and again, it is enough.

Back in his barracks, after Meng Changan washed and changed his clothes, he found that there was a long-stacked official document on the table, picked up the top one and looked at it, it was a report from the army...... When he saw the name on the bulletin, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"It's the sixth grade, the sixth turn is the captain of the cavalry, and you did a good job."

He swept through the other official documents and threw them into the brazier casually if he was not interested, the area near the Black Martial Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang is like a perennial winter, and now the flowers of Chang'an City have not been finished, and this side of Northern Xinjiang can already freeze people and dare not reach out casually.

Only the bulletin with the name of a certain guy was folded and put into a box and pressed under his clothes.

"Captain, summoned by the General."

The pro-soldiers shouted outside.

"Hmm."

Meng Changan grabbed the big hat and put it on, lowered the brim of the military helmet and walked out of the door and into the snow.

The 300-mile-long border line from Shengcheng to Lulan is the defense area of Guo Leiming, the general of the Iron Cavalry in Northern Xinjiang, Guo Leiming is a general under the Iron Cavalry General Tie Liuli, who has been following Tie Liuli from the age of 16 to the birth and death of 22 years now.

The moment the door opened, the wind and snow poured in from outside, and the fire in the hearth was blown and hunted.

After Meng Changan entered the door, he turned around and closed the door, and saluted solemnly: "Humble Meng Changan to see the general." ”

"Sit down and talk."

Guo Leiming pointed to the stool not far from him, which was next to the stove.

Meng Changan took off the big coat and hung it on the hanger at the door, sat next to the stove and added some carbon casually: "This time I went out and walked about three hundred miles, which is the limit, touching the place where His Majesty led the army at the beginning." ”

He took out a roll of brown paper from his bosom and put it on the table: "The terrain of the place where I went has been drawn, and when I returned, I was discovered by the cavalry of the Black Warrior Country, and chased us for three hundred miles, losing sixteen people. ”

Guo Leiming raised his head and looked at this young man with a flat tone and an expressionless face when he spoke, this guy didn't seem to feel that he was doing an unprecedented feat at all, even when His Majesty led his troops to break into the Black Martial Kingdom for three hundred miles, he didn't have time to draw a map, because the Black Warriors fought back extremely fiercely, and there was no time at all.

And now, this young man, who has only been in the northern Xinjiang for half a year, has entered the Heiwu country six times with the scout team, and the terrain, troop deployment, and the location of villages and towns within three hundred miles have been almost figured out by him.

It's easy to say, the Black Martial Kingdom has arranged hundreds of thousands of elites on this line, those red-haired people are naturally suitable for fighting, they are tall and big, and their physical strength is stronger than the men of Daning, if they fight alone, the border army and the border army of the Black Martial Kingdom have no advantage at all, not to mention that the scouts of the other party are more familiar and stronger than the scouts of Daning.

And Meng Changan didn't have any emotional fluctuations at all when he said these words, as if what he was doing didn't have much to be proud of.

"I have already reported your military merits to the general, if nothing else, the reward in the court will come down soon, what you did is the same weight as the people of the Daning Navy Division who went south to grab the three warships of Qiu Liren, and it is heavier than what the Navy Master did for our northern Xinjiang."

Guo Leiming looked at Meng Changan: "Do you have any other requirements?" ”

Meng Changan used iron chopsticks to stir the charcoal fire: "Two things, the first ...... The scouts I was equipped with were a little worse and couldn't keep up with me, which is why there was an accident on the way back, and I needed stronger people to ensure that the next time I went further into the Black Martial Arts, I could explore. ”

The movement of his hand paused: "The second thing, I heard, someone wants to take advantage of my military merits?" ”

Meng Changan raised his head and glanced at Guo Leiming.

Guo Leiming was silent.

"Pei Xiao's matter, I will naturally have a solution."

Guo Leiming looked at Meng Changan after being silent for a while: "You also know that he is the nephew of Pei Tingshan, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, and General Pei was just a deputy general during the war, but because of his great merits, Pei Tingshan's status among the five generals is higher than that of the forbidden army general Yuanshu, and there are only two great pillars in the entire Daning, he is one of them, and our general will also give him some face." ”

Meng Changan put down the things in his hand and said as if talking to himself: "The general should know about me...... Move my things unless you kill me first. ”

Guo Leiming stood up and walked to the door and closed the door tightly: "Chang'an, can you not be so paranoid, since you first infiltrated the Black Martial Kingdom to draw a map, the general has taken you very seriously, Pei Xiao will not stay long in Northern Xinjiang, and the general will not let you be wronged." ”

Meng Changan said lightly: "Grievances are because of tolerance. ”

He raised his head and said in a still flat tone: "There are many people who tolerate it, but I won't, probably because the bones are relatively hard, they can be broken, and they won't bend." ”

He got up: "If the general has no other orders, I want to go back to sleep." ”

Guo Leiming sighed: "Go, I will select the elite scouts you want from the whole army for you, you rest for half a month, and after half a month, I will send people to you." ”

"Ten days."

Meng Changan put on a big hat and lowered the brim of the iron helmet again: "I can't wait that long." ”

"Why?"

Guo Leiming couldn't help but ask.

The corners of Meng Changan's mouth hooked slightly: "I don't want to lose." ”

Guo Leiming didn't understand what these three words meant, and the young man who was colder than the wind and snow outside had already walked out of the door, and at the moment before the door closed, Guo Leiming looked at Meng Chang'an who walked into the wind and snow, as if he saw himself swinging his knife behind the general.

He turned to look behind the screen, and a tall man came out from behind, even in this warm room, the heavy armor on his body had not been removed.

"General, you have also seen that Meng Changan is a stubborn character."

The general Tie Liuli is no longer young, but he is still a wall, a mountain, and a knife that can cut through the wind and snow, this is a majestic man with gray temples and a beard, and the kind of temperament on his body that ordinary people can't imitate if they want to.

Tie Liuli, dressed in heavy armor, sat down on the chair, and the chair creaked.

"It's too rigid and easy to break."

Tie Liuli lowered his head and looked at the fire in the furnace: "Pei Xiao is a villain, Pei Tingshan is a fool who doesn't help his relatives, you shouldn't have assigned Meng Changan to Pei Xiao's subordinates, but now this matter seems to be difficult to solve, and Pei Xiao is afraid that the twists and turns of retribution for himself have already been sent." ”

Let a general say the four words that are not easy to solve, which shows the weight of it.

Guo Leiming said in a low voice: "Otherwise, you want to transfer Pei Xiao away from the beginning?" ”

"Pei Xiao knows how much credit Meng Changan is doing if it is done, and he doesn't accept you, do you remember the battle of Kunshan? In the second year of His Majesty's ascension, Zhuang Yong led people to drag the team of the black warriors for the army, and I personally led the troops to cut off the retreat of the black warriors...... A while ago, the army reported that Li Yong was killed on the spot because he dared to commit murder against Zhuang Yong because he violated military law, and when I saw the news, I felt a lot of pain, I can't let Meng Changan become the second Li Yong......"

Guo Leiming was a little puzzled: "General Zhuang is a retainer of His Majesty, why can't he protect his subordinates?" ”

When he finished asking, he realized that the general had changed the subject.

"Whether he can protect it or not, is it to see His Majesty, not to look at him, Pei Tingshan has become more and more domineering over the years because His Majesty tolerates him, but he himself doesn't know, Your Majesty is about to repay his love back then, Pei Tingshan is getting older and more confused, because of Pei Xiao's matter, he actually took three consecutive folds to ensure that Pei Xiao will not lie and will not occupy military merits, His Majesty has given him face, wronged Li Yong, this is also a helpless thing, who taught him that he dared to go straight to Chang'an with nine thousand sword soldiers."

Tie Liuli let out a long breath: "Pei Tingshan and I are friends of life and death. ”

Only then did Guo Leiming understand that this sentence was the general's answer.

"But General, there must be a solution to this matter after all, and Pei Xiao can't be allowed to continue to dominate."

"If the methods in the army don't work, then think of methods outside the army."

Tie Liuli stretched out his hand and pinched out a piece of charcoal that was still burning from the stove, and crushed it with a snap, and sparks splashed everywhere.

"Meng Changan had an accident in the capital, right?"

"The rumor is that someone tried to kill him, and as a result, many people died that day."

"Then do you know who helped Meng Changan?"

"My subordinates don't know."

"I've seen it recently, the newly promoted captain named Shen Leng, the world of young people, is always more interesting."

Tie Liuli stood up: "Don't tell others what I've been here, I just want to see how long Meng Changan can last, now it seems that as long as he can't die, he can last a lifetime......"

Tie Liuli opened the door of the house: "That body is arrogant." ”
