20 My father and my sons also wanted to say a few words
Immediately, Wei Wuji stood up and flatly refused: "Father and Emperor can't!" ”
"General Wang has been in charge of our military and political affairs for many years and has never made a mistake, how can I dismiss General Wang and give the military power to my sons because I won two small victories?"
"This is really unfair to General Wang!"
Seeing this, Wang Dafu couldn't help laughing, "Don't have any worries, this is willing." ”
"Besides, with only tens of thousands of troops, you have defeated hundreds of thousands of elites of the enemy country in a row, how can such a feat be revealed with 'two small victories'?"
"The army of my Chu State is in your hands, everyone can rest assured!"
Wang Dafu saw that Wei Wuji immediately refused, and thought that Wei Wuji was being modest, so he couldn't help but blow it.
"No!"
Wei Wuji still refused, and said seriously, "Father, the military power should still be in the hands of General Wang..."
"Horses..."Wang Dafu is still admonishing.
He thought that Wei Wuji's refusal was to show his loyalty, and he actually wanted military power.
After he repeatedly admonishes him, the military power will still fall into his hands in the end.
However, he didn't know that Wei Wuji really didn't want it.
Seeing Wang Dafu like this, Wei Wuji was not angry, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Dafu: "General Wang, why do you force me again and again?" ”
"Ugh..."
Seeing this, Wang Dafu finally gave up, and couldn't help but praise, "The horse is really a strange person in ancient and modern times, transcendent and unworldly, and admired!" ”
Seeing this, Emperor Chu also trusted Wei Wuji even more.
Fang Cai, he had been observing Wei Wuji all along.
After all, Wei Wuji's merits are comparable to the sky, and at this time, his son has returned, so he naturally began to doubt Wei Wuji.
But fortunately, Wei Wuji had no intention of taking over the right to take over the troops.
So, Emperor Chu said: "Wuji, since you don't want to take charge of the army and deal with mundane things, I don't want to force it." But I cannot turn a blind eye to your many achievements, and I must reward you. ”
"In order to shock other countries, I named you the Great Sima and oversaw the military and political affairs of Chu State, but you don't have to do it yourself, everything can be handed over to General Wang to do. Is this possible? ”
"This..."
The corners of Wei Wuji's mouth twitched, but he still didn't want to do it.
Now that there is no war in the Chu State, it is time to enjoy it.
Why bother yourself?
"Don't quit the pony!"
Seeing this, Wang Dafu got up and said loudly: "Even if it is for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of our country, the concubine should also do this position." Please rest assured, I have everything in my name, and you won't be bothered. ”
"Of course, if the colt wants to take care of things, he can do that."
"Alas... Well..."
Wei Wuji was also drunk, and reluctantly bowed to Emperor Chu and said, "The son of the Emperor Xie Father's trust, and he is willing to be a great Sima." ”
"Good, good..."
Emperor Chu said happily, "With you and General Wang in charge of the military and political affairs of Chu State, I can sit back and relax." ”
........
Wei Wuji was rewarded, and the generals such as Xu Chu, Wang Ping, and Gao Shun were naturally no exception.
Their positions have skyrocketed.
The lowest is also a post-general, and the highest is a former general.
Xiang Yu made the greatest contribution and was appointed as a former general, commanding 50,000 elites of the Chu State.
Xu Chu is the general of the left, commanding the Black Armor Army.
Wang Ping was the rear general, and the commander of the flying army was Wudang.
Gao Shun was the right general, and the commander was trapped in the camp.
and the generals in the army, all of whom also have their own rewards.
The Emperor of Chu ordered to reward the three armies and celebrate the seventh day.
During these seven days, the soldiers of the Chu State ate and drank nonsense.
Wei Wuji also followed the soldiers and got drunk for several days.
"My lord, just now the emperor sent someone to invite you into the palace to discuss matters." Wei Wuji was still lying in the military tent, snoring, and Wang Ping walked in.
"My lord?"
He screamed for a long time before Wei Wuji woke up, yawned and asked, "Ahem... What's the matter? ”
"The emperor invites you to enter the palace to discuss matters, and the car is already waiting outside." Wang Pingdao.
"Got it."
Wei Wuji was a little irritable, "It's really not a good thing to be a big Sima, I was recruited all day long to discuss state affairs." In fact, Wang Dafu can handle those things, so why call me. ”
Wei Wuji got up to wash his clothes and went outside crookedly.
Get on the car and go straight to the palace.
Inside the main hall.
There were more than a dozen civil and military officers seated.
Among them are Prime Minister Zhou Xiang, General Wang Dafu, and Prince Chu Ji, who has just returned to China.
Chu Ji stood next to Emperor Chu and saw Wei Wuji enter the hall, his face was already angry.
"The son is drunk and late, and I hope my father will forgive me." Wei Wuji bowed his hand.
"It is understandable that he is too late to work in military affairs. Please sit down. Emperor Chu waved his hand.
"Thank you, Father."
Wei Wuji swept his eyes, almost all the seats in the hall were occupied, only Wang Dafu's right hand side, there was still a seat.
There is no such seat in normal times, because in the army, Wang Dafu's position is the highest, and the generals have to be ranked behind him.
Now that Wei Wuji has been named the Great Sima, and his position is still above Wang Dafu, a seat has also been set up on his right hand.
Wei Wuji walked straight over, lifted his robe and sat down.
Emperor Chu said: "Recruiting everyone today, there are two things that need to be discussed. The first is about the surrender of Zhao and Beiqing, a total of 170,000, and they have all been escorted back to Yingdu. ”
"It stands to reason that they were all slaves, and they should be sent to build roads and cities. However, the Prime Minister suggested that I should form a volunteer army to strengthen our army. ”
"I don't know what you Aiqing, what do you think?"
Wei Wuji picked up the snacks on the table and cushioned his stomach.
Wang Dafu got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since the Zhao State, the Northern Qing State, and the Northern Qi State were defeated one after another, and then the Northern Qi State formed an alliance with us. My Chu State is already the head of all countries, although the army is inferior to other countries, but no one dares to provoke again, why should we waste military food and form a righteous army? ”
"You need to know that these surrendered troops are all the people of Zhao and Beiqing, they have left their hometowns, how can they not miss their mother country?"
"If you form an army, I am afraid that he will become a disaster again in the future, please think twice."
Emperor Chu nodded and said, "This is also where I am worried. ”
Prime Minister Zhou Xiang said: "Your Majesty, I think this is not difficult to deal with. The newly formed Volunteer Army can arrange them on the border of the Southern Jin Dynasty or the border of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they will not help the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty and become our enemies, right? ”
"What's more, the formed volunteer army has only 50,000 troops, and it can't afford to turn over the storm."
"We just gathered the elite of the Chu State lineage and trained it, so that he can come in handy in the future."
"Father, the son also wants to say a few words." Prince Chu Ji suddenly said loudly.
"Say it."
"Yes."
Chu Ji arched his hand and said: "I think that my Chu country has been attacked by enemy countries many times, just because the territory is too small and there are not many people. The domestic elite is limited. If we have been using our people to form an army, how can we bear the losses? ”
"If we form an army of righteous servants and send them to fight one day, even if they are defeated, it has nothing to do with us, anyway, it is the people and armies of other countries who die, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
