Chapter 231: Receiving the Order, Secret Report
A few miles outside Junxian County
Jin army camp
Monk Guangshan took two hundred white-robed cavalry to escort the white eunuch and his party to Yuanmen, and Yan Kui and Tang Xiang, who heard the news early, led the crowd to greet the angel here.
The carriage stopped, and the white eunuch slowly got out of the carriage with the support of the little eunuch's godson Xiao Lizi, and Yan Kui and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Yan Kui (Tang Xiang) has seen angels."
Yan and Tang are both important generals in the army, and although the white eunuch is close to the emperor, he doesn't dare to take Qiao in public, not to mention that this is still on other people's territory.
When he saw the two of them salute, he hurriedly returned the salute solemnly: "Two generals, our family is in vain, and we are here to announce the decree on the orders of Your Majesty." ”
"Father-in-law Bai has worked hard all the way, and we have set up an incense case in the camp and waited for the angels to be in place." Yan Kui was dressed in a military uniform and said with a smile.
"In that case, let's get down to business first."
This matter is exactly what Eunuch Bai wants, he has been running around for days and days, and he is tired of escaping, his mental and physical strength have already reached a critical point, and he can't wait to find a bed to sleep and rest.
If it weren't for the fact that the decree was too important, he wouldn't dare to delay, I'm afraid that after greeting Yan Kui at this time, he would have opened his mouth to ask for a place to rest.
…………
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said
General Huwei, Lieutenant Yan Kui of Fengguo, is loyal and brave, and Xuande Mingen......... Breaking the enemy's army, he made great contributions, and I am very commendable.
Hereby, Yan Kui is crowned as the general of Pingbei of the Great Jin Dynasty, serving as the third grade, and ordering the governor to take charge of the military forces in the area of Xiaoguan......... Chin this. ”
The white eunuch held a pair of Ming and Huang holy decrees, and after standing on the incense case, he read out the holy decree of Emperor Liyang in a low tone.
"Ministers and Yan Kui bow and thank the Holy Grace, long live Your Majesty, long live long live."
Yan Kui bowed heavily, and then bowed down to receive the holy decree from the white eunuch's hand, his eyes flashing with joy.
From the general of Sanpin Pingbei, ranked within Siping and Si'an, it can be said that from today on, he Yan Kui has completely established a name in the Northern Jin Dynasty............
"Yan Pingdong, congratulations."
The white eunuch beat his spirit, showed a bright smile on his face, and said hello to Yan Kui, Yan Kui smiled slightly, and said softly: "Father-in-law is involved in danger for a hundred miles, Yan has nothing to thank, now it is inconvenient, wait for the father-in-law to go to the tent to rest in a while, and his own subordinates will offer the due courtesy." ”
Hearing the word "number of rites", the white eunuch's bright smile became brighter: "General Yan is really refreshing, last time our family went to your mansion to announce the decree to Mrs. Zun, and your brother Ling is also polite, so that we are still warm in our hearts when we think about it now."
Seeing General Yan's real person this time, I know that your mansion is in the same vein, and they are all sincere and kind-hearted. ”
"Oh."
Hearing that Eunuch Bai talked about the old things, Yan Kui became interested and laughed: "I didn't expect my father-in-law and my family to have such a fate, but Yan is at the border, lonely and unheard, I didn't know about it in advance, and I hope my father-in-law won't blame it." ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
The white eunuch's face trembled, and he suddenly gave Yan Kui a look, and said pointedly: "Even if it is fate, how can you blame it." ”
Yan Kui's eyes flickered, and he looked at the white eunuch with a touch of deep meaning in his mouth: "This is very good, my father-in-law will go down to rest first, and Yan will personally come to the door to disturb him later." ”
Seeing that Yan Kui seemed to understand his subtext, the white eunuch smiled, arched his hand at Yan Kui, and with the support of Xiao Lizi, slowly followed a few soldiers to the sleeping tent arranged for him in advance.
…………
After the white eunuch left, all the generals in the camp who had not approached just now surrounded him, and they all opened their mouths to say hello to Yan Kui, even Tang Xiang was no exception.
"Yuan Han, this time His Majesty ordered you to be in charge of the military, and between you and me, there is a complete distinction between high and low." Tang Xiang said with a smile.
Before, Yan and Tang joined forces, although they were still working together, but after all, there was no official general in charge, and military operations were discussed by Yan Kui and Tang Xiang.
However, one army and two masters, this is a big taboo in the army, it stands to reason that Yan and Tang can't make such low-level mistakes, but the key is that it is not appropriate for the two to be the master and the other.
In terms of official position and number of troops, Tang Xiang is naturally superior, but Yan Kui has a high reputation among generals, and taking advantage of the great victory over Xue Yang, Tang Xiang does not dare to suppress him openly, and Yan Kui cannot let Tang Xiang, who is the general of Pingdong, give him, the four-grade general, as his deputy.
Therefore, the position of the chief general of the Jin army has been deadlocked, and it has not been until the decree of Emperor Yang that the result has been completely achieved.
Yan Kui saw that he had become the main general, but Tang Xiang had no intention of complaining angrily, and he was relieved, after all, Tang Xiang was old, and there were many supporters in this Jin army, if he made a stumbling block for himself, this battle would not be easy to fight.
"What is the difference between high and low, everyone is a brother, and the younger brother is lucky to be in the position, so I can't call you Brother Tang just like that." Yan Kui gave Tang Xiang enough face.
Seeing this, Tang Xiang laughed, hugged Yan Kui and shouted good brother, Yan Kui took this opportunity to express his attitude to Tang Xiang and the generals below.
It's nothing more than a brother-in-arms of everyone, he Yan is not a person who forgets his roots when he is promoted, and in the future, everyone will work together to make meritorious contributions, and he will take everyone to be promoted and make a fortune together, and glorify his ancestors.
…………
Then when he received the order to be promoted, Yan Kui boosted his morale, gathered some military morale, and more importantly, established his authority, and finally stood firm in the position of the main general.
After that, Yan Kui ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep in the camp according to the old practice, paid out of his own pocket to invite his soldiers to open meat, and agreed with Tang Xiang and other generals to have a promotion banquet in the evening, Yan Kui returned to his handsome account with a smile.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Monk Guangshan leading a simplely dressed and ordinary-looking young man over, Yan Kui recognized that this person was the leader of the black-clothed guard scouts he had sent out to spy on the military situation before.
As soon as the black-clothed guard scout leader saw Yan Kui, he immediately bowed down with joy on his face: "The general is overjoyed, his subordinates have found a way to break through Jun County." ”
"Oh?"
Yan Kui's eyes flashed, he originally planned to pack up and go to see Eunuch Bai, but when he heard this, he directly left Eunuch Bai behind.
"What's the news, report it quickly."
The leader of the black-clothed guard scouts held back the excitement in his heart, took out a shabby map from his arms, and offered it with both hands.
"General Hui, I found out from a group of displaced people that near the south gate of the county seat of Najun County, there was a large family, which lived in Jun County for generations, and quietly built a secret passage at home many years ago to avoid the war.
This secret passage is about several miles long, as wide as a corridor, leading to a mass grave outside the city, allowing hundreds of people to move together.
General, if our army sends an elite army to sneak into the city from this secret passage, seize the south gate, and then let the main force of our army take advantage of this to enter, Junxian can be decided in a battle. ”
Yan Kui spread out the map and looked at it carefully for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on his waist: "Is the source reliable?" ”
"Reliable."
The leader of the black-clothed guard scouts replied: "We got the information from the only son of the head of this big family that built secret passages, when the Zhou army entered Jun County, they plundered this big family and killed a lot.
This person hated Zhou Jun deeply for this, so he told me the top secret that had been hidden in his home for many years, just to rely on us to avenge his family, and his subordinates investigated the identity of this person, and it was all true. ”
"Secret Passage.........
Yan Kui pondered for a moment and said: "First send someone to investigate to see if the secret passage is true or false, if possible, you can sneak into Jun County from the secret passage to observe the specific situation, but try not to alarm the Zhou army in the city, this point should be especially noted." ”
"Understood." The leader of the Blackguard scouts nodded.
Yan Kui said again: "Don't tell General Tang about this in advance, and don't spread it among our people, only for the people in charge of investigating the secret passage within your black-clothed guard to know, and then report it to me after confirming that this secret passage can sneak attack Jun County." ”
"Subordinates obey."
Yan Kui waved his hand, asked the leader of the black-clothed guard scouts to go down, and then turned his head to look at Guangshan.
"I heard that the angels were attacked, and you brought someone to save them."
"Yes."
Monk Guangshan nodded: "It is said that the whereabouts were found by the Prosecutor's Office, so when I walked across the cloud bridge, I was intercepted by the Zhou army, but fortunately, thanks to the escort and a Mr. Gong who desperately protected it, this angel lasted until his subordinates arrived." ”
"Mr. Gong? It was the staff of the Shun Palace, and I heard that the martial arts were extremely high. ”
Before the convoy came to the camp, Guangshan had already sent someone to take the lead to pass the news to Yan Kui, so Yan Kui had a general understanding of some things, but the specific details were not clear.
…………
"Fighting alone, I don't dare to say that I can win the other party." Guangshan said with a serious expression.
As soon as these words came out, Yan Kui was also taken aback, Guangshan followed him for almost a year, the two were inseparable, Yan Kui knew better than anyone what the strength of this fat monk was, so that he could say the words that he did not dare to win, that Mr. Gong must be the top master in the world.
"Monk, you honestly, if I am better than him." Yan Kui asked Guangshan.
The fat monk scratched his head, and said with some confusion: "The general has been making rapid progress recently, and he is naturally strong, if he fights against him, it stands to reason that he should have a great chance of winning."
However, I haven't seen this person's martial arts yet, so it's hard to make a conclusion. ”
"It's not easy, just look for a chance to fight."
Yan Kui smiled slightly, and seemed to have a great interest in this Shunwang Mansion guest, and when Monk Guangshan saw this, his face immediately showed such a look.
He said that his general loved his talents, and it was not in vain that he kindly invited Gong Zhiyuan to return to the camp together............
However, although Yan Kui was very curious about Gong Zhiyuan's martial arts, there was a sequence, and the most important thing for him at the moment was to meet the white father-in-law.
He had a hunch that this person who came to Jun County this time to deliver the decree and gave a holy order, I am afraid that there is another purpose.........
