Chapter 182: The Two Kings Fight

General Guan Marshal's Mansion, main hall

However, it was said that after Peng Kuohai and the generals agreed on the combat deployment with the Zhou army, most of the middle and low-level generals were dispersed, leaving only some important generals and Wang Jingwang to discuss the reward for the Battle of Ping'an.

The meaning of the old marshal is very simple, regardless of whether he can eat the next Zhou army in the future, the battle of burning grain safely will turn the tide of the war between the two countries in one fell swoop, and the raid cavalry has contributed a lot and should be rewarded.

And the most important thing is that there are only more than 600 cavalry left in the tens of thousands of cavalry who attacked the grain, and the main general Chang Storm has not woken up from a serious injury with a broken arm, and everyone under him is also injured and lying in bed.

The victory in this battle was tragic and tragic, and the whole army on the front line was moved, dragging on for a long time and not rewarding, which was easy to chill the hearts of the armies.

Now that the war is currently in progress, it is too late to gather morale, and it must not chill the hearts of the people.

Therefore, the reward of the cavalry should not be delayed, and the reward should be given quickly and generously to soothe the morale of the army and stimulate morale by the way.

This is not only the meaning of Lao Shuai alone, Di Yi's side is also inclined, and even Di Shuai himself has preliminarily drafted a charter and submitted it to Peng Kuohai here as a reference.

Today, it was Peng Kuohai who took the charter sent by Di Yi to confirm the reward with the important generals on the front line of the Jin Army, and then reported it to the imperial court for information.

There is no way, the credit for burning grain this time is too great, Yan Kui alone may be promoted to the fourth grade, and the rest also have three or four promoted generals to the fifth grade, and the main general Chang Bang is even more difficult to become the seventh giant of the second-grade military in one fell swoop.

With such a high-level reward, Peng Kuohai and Di Yi didn't dare to call the shots, so they could only state the merits of the generals, give some advice, and then hand it over to the capital for Emperor Liyang to decide in person.

……………

Of course, the faces of the two marshals are here, they jointly wrote a book, and the generals burned grain in a battle that was indeed a great achievement, and Emperor Liyang must consider it carefully.

Changbang's grade is high, and the position of the Seven Giants is sensitive, so it is difficult to say whether it can be upgraded because of this, but it should not be a big problem for Yan Kui and the others to promote these three grades or less.

As for the more than 600 surviving soldiers below, it is simply what the two commanders say.

After Peng Kuohai circulated the reward document formulated by himself in combination with Di Yi's draft charter to everyone, he asked with a smile while holding a cup of hot tea.

"How about it, do you have any objections?"

Everyone glanced at each other, and most of them shook their heads, adapting to their own opinions, but King Jing, King Duan, and Xu Rong, the imperial history of the army, did not express their position.

The old man put down the teacup, glanced at the three of them, chose the best Xu Rong, and said lightly: "Xu Yushi seems to have a difference in the amount of reward, but I am willing to share my high opinion with the old man." ”

Xu Rong, the Northern Jin Dynasty is the fourth rank of the imperial history, and his status is second only to the imperial history of the imperial history and the left and right governors of the imperial history, and he also belongs to the middle and senior officials in the court.

Of course, he is a big man at this level in front of others, but he is not a big figure with the old handsome, but the key thing is that Xu Rong and another Yushi Tian Yuan were sent by Emperor Liyang to be the front-line military historian to supervise the military discipline rewards and punishments.

Peng Kuohai's proposed reward is within Xu Rong's jurisdiction, and if Xu Rong objects to this matter, even if he is an old handsome, he can't turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, if you are caught by the trolls of Yushitai, you will use the topic to play, and you will not be able to suffer a big loss and be disgusted.

…………

Hearing the old man's question, Xu Rong, who had expected it, stood up unhurriedly.

The generals in the same hall are not in awe of the old handsome Jiwei, Xu Rong, who is in the Yushitai, is not too afraid of Peng Kuohai, he came to the hall and gently bowed his hand.

"Peng Shuai, about the Tiger General Yan Kui in the reward, the lower official thinks that the reward is too heavy and should be reduced, and it should be reduced from the fourth grade to the fourth grade, in addition, the decision to allow him to lead an army alone, the lower official also feels that it is a little hasty, and he should think about it carefully."

Peng Kuohai's eyes flashed, he frowned, and said unhappily: "Since Yan Kui entered the front line, he has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, not to mention the first battle, he first went to the Tanshan camp, and personally led the troops to capture Ping'an Town, and made a succession of achievements.

And after entering the peace, Yan Kui burned the granary again, bloody battle against the defenders, and finally when General Chang was unconscious, he took the remnants to kill the Zhou army layer by layer surrounding, during the bloody battle, the body hit more than ten, such a loyal and brave general, why can't you be rewarded? ”

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, he was already drinking the case, bluffing Xu Rong's face pale, and he replied with a promise: "Peng Shuai is angry, the lower officials are not ignorant of Yan Kui's merits, but this person has been in the army since last year, and in just one year, he has been promoted from a tasteless villager to a military general, and he has been entrusted with important tasks by the imperial court, which is really too fast."

Therefore, Xia Guan thought that Yan Kui's promotion speed should be suspended, his temperament should be sharpened, and his qualifications should be enriched, so as to employ people............"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Rong was forced back by Peng Kuohai's fierce eyes, and then the always gentle old handsome man burst out with an unprecedented roar.

"Ridiculous, sour and rotten, when did you make a lot of meritorious service, and it became a sin to rise quickly?

There is a fixed degree of rewards and punishments for military merits, and the word "seniority" of a laborer should suppress the meritorious heroes?

Fart!

Xu Rong, the old man told you that you civil officials have the rules of civil officials, and our military generals also have their own rules, and our rules are that whoever can fight will be in power, those who are capable will be promoted, and those who are mediocre will retire.

Yan Kui made great contributions in the Battle of Ping'an, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line are in their eyes, at the moment of the war, you discount his merits, who will fight with his life, disturb the morale of the army, delay the war, can you bear this responsibility? ”

…………

The old handsome shouted loudly, almost scared Xu Rong to death, plopped down on his knees, and confessed his guilt to the officials, and the generals looked at him with schadenfreude in their eyes.

Yes, let you not open which pot to mention.

Who doesn't know that Lao Shuai suffered a big loss because of the word "seniority" when he was young, and he had to learn for many years before he changed his luck, otherwise he would not be a handful of years, and his official rank was still below Di Yi's juniors.

In front of his old man, he used his qualifications to talk about things, that is, he went to the pit with a lantern - looking for (death).

However, the old handsome is shameless enough, what is the example of the military generals is that the capable are on the top, and the mediocre are retreating, who doesn't know that it is difficult for the Northern Jin Dynasty military generals to be promoted to the third grade.

On the cancer of seniority blocking the way, civil officials are much stronger than military generals, today Peng Kuohai's move is reversed in black and white, confusing right and wrong, it is completely because Xu Rongguan is younger than him and does not dare to refute, it is really insidious.

But no matter what you say, the old man is angry, Xu Rong is honest, and this Yan Kui's qualifications have become a joke and no longer pose a problem.

Subduing Xu Yushi, the old man looked at the two princes again, wanting to strike while the iron was hot, but he didn't want King Duan to stand up before him.

Peng Shuai just said, Le Zhi deeply believes that the merits of Chang Violence and Yan Kui should be vigorously rewarded, so Le Zhi proposed that the original reward should be added to the title reward.

General Chang is the main general of the grain attack, the number one meritorious hero, and should be awarded the earl, and General Yan's amazing achievements should be crowned with the title of lieutenant. ”

…………

As soon as Duan Wang's words fell, everyone in the hall was shocked and in an uproar.

Good guys, everyone is mistaken.

I thought that this king was looking for faults and cutting rewards like Xu Rong, but he didn't think that the purpose of others was to propose to add a knighthood, but fortunately, Chang and Yan exchanged favors.

Tsk, in the end, it's the prince, this trick is clever.

Everyone was amazed in their hearts, and turned their heads to look at King Jing who had not yet spoken, King Duan wanted to please people, and this one probably wouldn't let him be a lone beauty.

Sure enough, as expected, King Jing quickly got up and spoke: "The third emperor brother's handwriting is too stingy, according to what Le Yan has seen, the two generals of Changyan have worked hard and made great achievements, how can they add a mere earl and lieutenant titles."

Le Yan is not talented, I would like to write to my father, please Feng Chang as a marquis, General Yan as a baron, and the rest of the generals who attack the grain are all lieutenants. ”

"Tut-tut........."

The generals present were also well-known figures in the Northern Jin Dynasty military, and there were many people with knighthoods, but when they heard King Jing's generosity, they couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that the title of the Northern Jin Dynasty is not a street goods, especially the earl and above, can be listed as a noble, even the old handsome, who has been conscientious for so many years, is only a count title.

King Jing made a move to recommend Chang to be the marquis, and Rao is generals are used to seeing strong winds and waves, and they can't help but feel slightly sour.

Why didn't I have such a good errand as leading the troops to attack food............

At the same time, thanks to Chang Storm blocking in front, everyone forgot Yan Kui, who was drinking soup behind.

After a battle, he made a fourth-grade baron, and the soup that Yan Kui drank was a little thick.

…………

However, the surprise was surprised, but the generals didn't take it seriously, after all, King Jing was not Emperor Liyang, and no matter how loud he shouted, Emperor Liyang might not agree.

In the final analysis, the merits of the battle of peace are not small, but it has not reached the point where Changbang can be crowned in addition to the generous reward, even if Emperor Liyang treats the heroes well and allows him to be knighted, but what King Jing said is too excessive, and Duanwang's is barely reliable, and it may be possible to achieve it.

The two princes also know this, but whether the favor should be sold or sold, as for whether it will be successful or not, let's talk about it.

In this way, with the hearts of all the people, the reward for the battle of peace was preliminarily set.

Because the level involved by Chang Bang and Yan Kui was too high, they were reported to the capital and finally decided by Emperor Liyang, and the rest of the people were directly decided, first passed to the whole army, and then went through a process from the military department, and they could be rewarded for their merits.

After this incident, Peng Kuohai opened his mouth again and proposed to double the pensions of the soldiers who died in this raid cavalry, and this time no one disagreed, and no one dared.

Soon, this proposal was unanimously passed, and the old marshal explained the problem of city defense again, and everyone dispersed.

Xu Rong, who had made a big fool just now, made a calm face, and was the first to leave the main hall without saying a word, and his colleague and deputy Tian Yuan apologized to everyone and chased after him.

Compared with Xu Rong, who has a withdrawn and arrogant personality and even looks down on military generals, Tian Yuan, who is also from Yushitai, is obviously much more sleek and more attractive.

After the two imperial historians left, Peng Kuohai and the rest of the generals also left, leaving only the two princes of Duan Wang and King Jing to hang slowly and leisurely at the end.

…………

Seeing that everyone was gone, King Jing, who was relatively anxious, took the lead in opening his mouth: "Third Emperor Brother, the younger brother has recently got some new game, and I want to invite the imperial brother to taste it together." ”

"That's it."

King Duan waved his hand with a smile: "In the past few days, I have been on fire, and after watching Lang Zhong, I warned me to avoid meat for a few days, but I disappointed the fourth brother." ”

"It's not in the way, it's just a pity that the royal brother doesn't have this blessing, so he can only enjoy it exclusively for the younger brother."

King Jing smiled faintly, arched his hand at King Duan, and turned around and left with the people.

King Duan was behind, looking at the background of King Jing's departure, he stretched out his hand to call for his relatives, explained a few words in his ear, and left quickly, King Duan dusted off his sleeves, smiled elegantly, and returned to his mansion without hurrying.

And in this compartment, King Jing left the Shuai's mansion, and immediately called his henchmen to entrust the secret order.

Soon after, General Guan left several fast horse knights one after another, and went to the capital, Yanlin, Qingyuan, Jizhou Jushan Mansion and other directions.

(Note: Changbang's hometown is in Jizhou Jushan Mansion)
