Chapter 225: The Unlucky White Eunuch
Angels come to camp!
As the commander of the army, Di Yi personally received him, and at the same time, there were also a number of Jin army generals in the camp.
So, when Di Yi learned from the angel that Emperor Liyang had rewarded Yan Kui this time, all the generals were shocked and surprised.
Obediently, how old is Yan Kui, twenty-two or twenty-three?
A military general in his early twenties............
The generals began to go crazy in their hearts.
As I said before, because of the strange military officer system, the position above the third grade is extremely rare, and it is also a radish and a pit, and it is a fourth-grade military general, and it is very difficult to be promoted to the third grade.
There are even many examples of the four-rank military general Yu Yu stuck at this juncture for a lifetime.
In the military, there has always been such a joke among the generals, saying that the difficulty of the three products can be compared to the marquis.
Even sometimes, it is more difficult to be a marquis than to be promoted to the third rank.
Yan Kui was promoted so quickly this time, and his outstanding achievements are one thing, and more importantly, his luck is him.
Siping and Si'an just vacated a position, and Yan Kui showed his face at the right time, just defeated a group of competitors, and took the position.
is also in response to that sentence, time, luck, and fate.........
…………
However, the generals eat lemons and eat lemons, but there is not much disbelief in Yan Kui's superiority, after all, Yan Kui's exploits are there.
Since Peng Kuohai arranged a hundred-mile defense line in Jiangjun Pass, the Jin army has fought many times, and Yan Kui is one of the most outstanding people.
The generals were silent, but coach Di Yi was very happy.
In terms of faction, Yan Kui was brought up by him, although they had been together for a short time, Di Yi would not regard Yan Kui as a hardcore confidant like Qin Qi, but he had always used Yan Kui as his favorite general.
Love will be on top, Di Yi is naturally happy, and more importantly, he sees a bright future from Yan Kui.
Yan Kui is in his early twenties this year. At this age, he ranks as a general from Sanpin Pingbei, and he is definitely young and promising.
Even if you pick up the entire Northern Jin Dynasty...... No, according to the records of the officialdom of the Three Kingdoms in the world, Yan Kui is not the youngest Sanpin general, but the fastest rising can definitely be among the best.
And more importantly, in the past, the promotion was fast, most of which were due to the emperor's favor, appeasement of the subordinates, shadowing the father and ancestors, or the promotion in the line of fire in an emergency on the battlefield, for various reasons.
In terms of weight and qualifications, it is obviously not as good as Xiang Yan Kui's real achievements in killing step by step, knife and shot.
…………
Now, after several battles, Yan Kui has successfully become an emerging general star in the Northern Jin Dynasty, plus he is ranked as a third-grade heavy general at such an age, and has stepped into the middle and high-level of the Northern Jin Dynasty military.
As long as nothing goes wrong in the future, the general of the Northern Jin Dynasty does not dare to say that it is very likely that Yan Kui will be a general of the Quartet.
Although Di Yi is powerful now, he also knows the ebb and flow of the tide, and he is okay when he is here, if a hundred years later, the future generations of the Di family will not be blessed.
In Di Yi's opinion, Yan Kui's age is very different from himself, and he was brought up by himself, so he is kind to him, and he will support him well in the future, and he may not be a strong political ally of his own.
Of course, this is just a temporary idea in Di Yi's heart, and whether it will be implemented in the future or not depends on the situation.
Coincidentally, at this moment, there is more than one person who has the same idea as Di Yi, many people have the idea of befriending Yan Kui, an upstart in the army, and even many people have the idea of Yan Kui's backyard.
Political marriage is always a very effective means of alliance in officialdom.
The generals with acceptable status may still be reserved, but the middle and low-level generals below don't have so many ideas.
In their opinion, Yan Kui's young people are ambitious, and they are at the age when they are energetic and enthusiastic about women, and they stuff their daughters and nieces into their backyards, and they can't be the main house, and the concubine is also a way.
If you get this promising son-in-law, won't your future be smooth.
Unconsciously, Yan Kui turned out to be a hot commodity again............
…………
Di Yi and the generals didn't talk about how to turn around in their hearts, and the angel who came to announce the decree quickly raised a difficult question.
He was ordered by Emperor Liyang to go to Jun County to announce the decree to Yan Kui in person to show his holy grace.
However, at this time, Yan Kuibu, who was attacking Jun County, and the main force of the Jin army under Beiling City were blocked by 400,000 Zhou troops.
Although it is possible to detour from Nanling Mansion, it takes a lot of time, and it is a big difference to convey the holy decree, which can not be delayed at all.
Therefore, after learning about the situation of the Jin army at this time, the angel who came to deliver the decree asked Di Yi for help and asked him to help think of a way.
Coincidentally, the angel who came to the front line this time to deliver the decree was none other than the white eunuch who went to Qingyuan to announce the decree to Huang Wei'er.
Eunuch Bai thought the same thing before, but now, he just felt that he was unlucky.
The errand of eunuchs in the palace going out of the palace to announce decrees has always been divided into upper, middle and lower classes.
The best is to proclaim the decree in the capital, without the need to work in the carriage and horses, and get a lot of remuneration, and you can also show your face beside the powerful, brush up on your qualifications, and get more in one fell swoop.
The second is to go out to the capital to the prefectures and counties to proclaim the decree, although only to suffer a little from running, but as an angel, you will get a lot of preferential treatment during the journey, and the filial piety given by the main family is also considerable, rich and faced, barely considered a beauty difference.
The only thing that is the worst is to go to the front line, not to mention the tiredness of running around, but also to be frightened, to prevent the small life is difficult to protect, in case the time is not right, something goes wrong on the way, which damages the royal face, and if it is not good, it will also affect the family.
Therefore, the eunuchs in the palace are reluctant to take on this kind of errand to the front line, but anyone who has some ability in his hands will find a way to pass the buck to others, and whoever is not capable will be unlucky.
The white eunuch is also the number one person among the eunuchs in the palace, and according to the past practice, when the chief eunuch assigns this kind of bad errand downward, as long as he is unwilling, it is not his turn to do so.
But on the day Emperor Liyang issued the order, he was in a hurry, and he didn't know what Emperor Liyang thought, so he named and gave this errand to the white eunuch.
…………
The emperor named him, who would dare not obey?
No matter how the white eunuch complained in his heart, he took the errand and honestly ran to the front line.
Originally, Eunuch Bai's heart was quite stable, because he knew that the Jin army was now gaining momentum on the front line, so he thought that there would be no danger, and it was a big deal to return to Beijing as soon as he finished announcing the decree.
But he never expected that Yan Kui's location was not in the Jin army camp, but was separated by the Zhou army, and there were 400,000 wolf-like Zhou troops in between.
Heaven is pitiful, the white eunuch thinks about how to serve the emperor in the palace every day, suppresses other eunuchs or thinks about the method of holding silver, where do you know what concept of the terrain of the war, and now that he knows the truth, he is almost frightened.
400,000 Zhou Jun, he is a eunuch with no power to be a chicken, but how should he be............
The white eunuch was very frightened, and Di Yi was also very uncomfortable, after all, he was the commander of the Jin army, and if the angel had an accident on the front line, he would have to eat melons with him.
Therefore, Di Yi proposed to let the white eunuch leave the holy decree in the camp, and he sent elite scouts to sneak over to inform Yan Kui of the content of the holy decree, and when the two sides joined forces in the future, it would not be too late for Yan Kui to officially accept the decree.
As for Emperor Liyang's side, Di Yi can help Eunuch Bai intercede, but the reality does not allow it, and Emperor Liyang will not be too embarrassed by Eunuch Bai.
However, what he didn't expect was that Di Yi's idea was rejected by Eunuch Bai.
For Di Yi, safety and angelic safety certainly come first, but for the white eunuch, completing the errand assigned by Emperor Liyang is the most important thing.
If Di Yi explained the situation to Emperor Liyang, maybe the white eunuch would not have to take the risk personally, but it would inevitably leave the impression that Emperor Liyang was afraid of danger and did not do things effectively, which would definitely reduce Emperor Liyang's trust in him.
And in this way, it is better to kill the white eunuch directly.
For a powerful eunuch in the palace like Eunuch Bai, he would rather die than lose the emperor's favor, so after thinking about it several times, Eunuch Bai gritted his teeth and rejected Di Yi's kindness, and decided to go to Junxian County to deliver the decree in person.
Di Yi naturally refused to let go, the three cities of Beiling were full of Zhou troops, and there were countless secret sentry scouts, in the past, he and Yan Kuibu passed on the news, and sent elite scouts to lose a lot, and the white eunuch has a white fat body and no martial arts, wouldn't it be a meat bun to beat a dog when he went to Jun County?
…………
However, the white eunuch was determined to gamble this time, he felt that his luck was okay, and he was likely to succeed in the message.
If he can come back safely, in the future, the matter of his life for the emperor's life and errand will reach the ears of Emperor Liyang, the emperor will naturally be pleased, and trust him even more.
Eunuch Bai made up his mind, no matter how Di Yi persuaded him, he would not waver in his faith, and in all his helplessness, Di Yi could not force the angel to stay in the camp again, so he could only carefully select the elite masters from the army, hoping to protect the safety of Eunuch Bai.
During this period, there was also an episode, that is, someone said that Di Yi could contact Yuan Sheng and make Zhou Jun turn a blind eye, but Di Yi felt that the matter of peace talks had not yet been determined and could not be too deeply involved with Zhou Jun, so he rejected this proposal.
Eunuch Bai didn't know that there was such a thing, and since he made up his mind, he urged Di Yi to let him out of the camp.
March 26, 15th year of Liyang
Under the escort of more than 100 elite Jin troops carefully selected by Di Yi, the white eunuch and his party dressed up in disguise and quietly infiltrated the territory controlled by the Zhou army.
And from the moment the white eunuch left, Gong Zhiyuan, who had fled from King Zhong's bed, also fled to the territory controlled by the Zhou army in Beiling Mansion because he was chased and killed by Yan Chong............
