Chapter 157 • The rank of town-level general

The camp of the trapped army in Dingshui is located in the north of Dingshui City, although Dingshui City is not small, but because now in order to escape the war, there are more and more displaced people who have taken refuge in the south, and many places have been temporarily used to settle the displaced people, so to vacate such a place, it is already Jinhong and the group of civil officials under him who hold the pen and stick it.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the snowflakes falling in the sky were a little smaller than before, but they were still raised, a little blind, and on the schoolyard in the north of the city, Liu Jian was spreading out a volume of holy decrees with both hands, and read aloud: "The commander of the army is hereby trapped, and the general of Longxiang Ge Cheng'a, the overseer is not effective, and the command is improper, so that the Humeng people effortlessly take Liangcheng lightly, and trap the Dingzhou war situation in passivity, but you have been fighting for the country for many years, and you have worked very hard, so you are removed from the post of commander of the trapped army, and you have obeyed orders under the command of Wang Yan of Liang Liang since returning to the country, and I am here!" ”

Ge Cheng'a glanced at Liu Jian who was passing the decree with some surprise, and then asked again as if he couldn't believe it: "Gonggong Liu, Your Majesty is asking Weichen to return to the restaurant and wait for the dispatch under the command of the old handsome." ”

"Exactly," Liu Jian nodded.

After getting Liu Jian's nod, Ge Cheng'a's eyes suddenly became rosy, and then he smiled and sighed: "The old man still remembers our old brothers after all." ”

Then he took the holy decree from Liu Jian in a hurry and retreated respectfully.

Liu indirectly took out the second volume of the Holy Decree, glanced at Yan Wuji kindly, and read: "Yan Wuji, the commander of the independent battalion, accepts the decree!" ”

"The minister received the order" Yan Wuji knelt on the ground in response, and Zhang Erhu behind him looked at Liu Zhilan a little nervously, as if asking, "Does His Majesty the Emperor want to blame Yan Yingshuai for the loss of Xiema Town?" ”

The latter, on the other hand, showed a posture without the slightest worry, and even had a slight smile in his eyes.

"Yan Wuji, the commander of the independent battalion, since the beginning of this year, the second Xiaguan and the third aid Xiema, causing the Humeng vanguard army to lose troops and generals under the city of Xiema, although there are many promotions, but they are all ordered in danger, this time I want you to be ordered again to serve as the commander of the trap army, do you dare? It doesn't matter if you don't dare, anyway, you should be decided, so I specially awarded you the title of General of Zhenxi, received the third rank, and guarded the northwest gate for my Dayan. ”

After Liu Jian finished reading, all the generals present let out a slight exclamation, although the promotion to the military marshal, it is indeed not a common thing, but it is not uncommon, what they exclaimed, is the military rank name mentioned in the holy decree, generally like Ge Cheng'a This kind of military marshal, the title is basically Longxiang, Huben, chariot rider, hussar, etc., if you are particularly favored, or if you have made great contributions, you will be given the rank of Pingzi General, that is, Pingxi, Pingbei, Pingnan, Pingdong four major general ranks.

Since the Yan Kingdom, only Yan Wuji's grandfather Yan Wangbei and Jin Hong's uncle Jin Gufeng were awarded the rank of Zhenzi General, Yan Wangbei is the general of Zhenbei, Jingufeng is the general of Zhennan, and in the following generations, no one has been awarded the rank of Zhenzi general, not even Yan Hu, it can be said that the rank of Zhenzi General is a legend in Yan Kingdom, which shows that everyone's surprise at this time can actually be understood.

Even the party Yan Wuji and Liu Zhilan behind him were stunned, for a while, their brains couldn't turn, Yan Wuji stood up, respectfully stepped forward to take the holy decree, and after returning to his position, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Zhilan, before they just expected that Yan Wuji's father would be presented to the court and promote him to the position of military commander, but they didn't expect it to be a town level.

And Zhang Erhu, who was beside Liu Zhilan, was so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Marshal Yan, Marshal Ge, Your Majesty's will has been brought to you, and you are going to return to your life, and please make persistent efforts in the future to share your Majesty's worries." Liu Jian is still behind him

The four guards bowed to the two of them.

Yan Wuji and Ge Chenga hurriedly bowed back and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao, take care all the way." ”

Liu Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, these people are basically like this, they are very respectful to him on the surface, but in fact, they don't take him seriously from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise it is freezing this day, plus the boat and car labor along the way, how can they not drink a mouthful of hot water?

"Fortunately, I brought some in the carriage, although it was cold, but it was better than eating snow." Liu Jian secretly said in his heart, arched his hand to the two again, and left quickly.

In fact, as he thought, Yan Wuji and Ge Cheng'a didn't take him seriously, because in their hearts, there was no need for an inner servant like Liu Jian to make friends at all, maybe out of politeness, they would ask casually, but now both of them were still immersed in the content of Fang Cai's holy decree, and they had no time to care about it for a while.

"Mowgli...... Oh no, now I should call you Yan Junshuai. Ge Cheng'a stepped forward and chatted with Yan Wuji.

Yan Wuji smiled bitterly, "Uncle Ge still calls me Wuji, the word Yan Junshuai always feels awkward when it comes out of your mouth." ”

Ge Cheng'a nodded noncommittally, as if to avoid this embarrassment, so he didn't address the other party this time, but said directly, "The trapping army has been in my hands for several years, and I know the situation inside better than you. ”

"Of course!"

"The establishment of the trap army is 20,000 people, divided into four battalions, sword and shield battalion commander Guo Tianxu, spear battalion commander Liu Zhihe, bow and crossbow battalion commander Han Kun, cavalry battalion commander Guan Cong, among which Zhihe after the fall of Liangcheng, after the spear battalion was broken, he has not returned, I think it is more auspicious and less, although Guo Tianxu occasionally complains about the court, but he is stable, mature in mind, and is a rare general, so I plan to leave him to you, and the rest such as Han Kun and Guan Cong's generation all have nepotism in the court, although there is Xiaozhi, but it is not useful, If you want to fight with the Humeng people, with these two people in the army, sooner or later things will be bad, and I think your two lieutenants are quite talented and deserve great responsibilities, so I intend to let Han Kun and Guan Cong be transferred to Caiguan with me, and the vacant positions will be filled by the two lieutenants under your command, I don't know what you think? ”

After listening carefully to Ge Cheng'a's words, Yan Wuji realized that the other party was clearing the obstacles for himself to take over the trap camp, and he was grateful, so he bowed his hand to Ge Cheng'a and said, "Uncle Ge's great kindness, Wuji will remember it in my heart." ”

"Hehe, what do you say is a big favor or a big favor, but it seems to be a raw one," Ge Cheng'a waved his hand, and there was a rare relaxed look between his expressions, "I and these old brothers in Dingcai and the two states, which one didn't start from a small soldier under your father, if you want to say a great favor, it is your family who has been kind to me first, and I am just repaying the favor."

Now the situation of our army in Dingzhou is rotten, if you want to completely drive out the Humeng people, your courage will be very heavy, don't hope for Gu Liangchen's troops, those are all old soldiers who have been decayed to the point of being incomplete, they can't support the scene, everything can only rely on yourself, in addition, Wang Xuexing of Xiping, at the necessary moment, you can ask him for help, but it is limited to help, the 10,000 Anxi army in his hands can't move easily. ”

Yan Wuji nodded, what Ge Cheng'a said, for the current Yan Wuji, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, after all, he is an old general who has been immersed in the army for decades, and he sees the current situation in Dingzhou very thoroughly.

After saying what he had to say, Ge Cheng'a patted Yan Wuji's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation and encouragement, "Help me the shame of Xueliang City!" As he spoke, he turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he turned around again, and after hesitating for a while, he leaned closer to Yan Wuji's ear and whispered a few words, ignoring the shock in Yan Wuji's eyes, and slowly disappeared into the vast snow.

Liu Zhilan and Zhang Erhu came to both sides of Yan Wuji

, quietly watched the shock and anger in his eyes slowly dissipate, but Yan Wuji didn't say it, and they wouldn't ask, this is a tacit understanding that has gradually formed between the three of them after getting along for so long, but this time it was Yan Wuji who couldn't help but ask first: "Why don't you ask me what Marshal Ge told me?" ”

"Uh......" Liu Zhilan and Zhang Erhu looked at each other and smiled, and then as if joking, in order to meet Yan Wuji's request, he asked, "What did you say?" ”

"The gate of Liangcheng was opened by Yan to the Humeng people." Yan Wuji said it lightly, but no one knew the anger that came out of his heart when he first heard the news, if it was an ordinary person, he might not be so angry, but Yan Zhu is the son of King Li, and the cousin of His Majesty today, is a pure-blooded member of the Great Yan royal family, but such a royal family member chose to commit treason to the enemy, if such a thing is publicized, then the prestige and reputation of the Yan royal family will be dealt an extremely severe blow, and even discredited, such consequences, It is hard to imagine what serious consequences will be brewing.

Liu Zhilan and the two obviously didn't expect the meeting to be so vigorous, so the news that it could cause an uproar in Yan Kingdom, and the two who didn't know how to deal with it for a while had to keep their mouths shut and stand in silence.

……

At the same time, in an abandoned village about 100 miles northwest of Dingshui, because most of the people fled because of the war, there are many such well-preserved, but uninhabited villages in Dingzhou, but the difference here is that there are now many soldiers here, judging from their uniforms, belonging to the Yan army, but not the regimental badge of the Sixth Army, more like the local army.

The soldiers were doing their jobs with a clear division of labor, patrolling, guarding, guarding, resting and cooking, and in the depths of a relatively large mansion there were occasional cries of women and loud laughter of men, mixed with a desperate roar.

A soldier walked in from outside the door, holding a bowl of freshly cooked horse meat, but was stopped by two guards standing at the door, both of them looked at the bowl of horse meat, and both swallowed involuntarily, and one of them pulled a lump of it down and put it in his mouth to chew, and then he smiled and pushed the door open a crack and let the soldier in.

The soldier was also very knowledgeable, and did not push the gap open, as long as he could just allow his body to pass through, and when he entered the house, he saw a middle-aged man tied naked to the beam in the center of the room, and opposite the man, there was another naked rough man, who was striking the same untouched woman under him in a very rude way.

When the rugged man saw someone coming in, he just turned his head and glanced at it, and when he saw someone coming, he turned around and continued to sprint, panting and said: "Damn, I'm only bringing it to Lao Tzu now, do you want to starve Ben Shuai to death?" ”

Then, after a rapid rhythm, he tore off the bed and wrapped it around his body, and without paying attention to the woman who was still convulsing, he sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals with a golden knife, picked up the horse meat in the bowl and gnawed it down.

"What are you doing here, what? Fancy this? The rugged man glanced coldly at the soldier who was still standing in the room, and there was a hint of murder in his words, and the soldier hurriedly confessed, and then left the house as fast as he could.

"Hey, hey, hey!" The rough man swallowed the horse meat that had been chewed indiscriminately, picked up a piece of horse meat and returned to the bedside, gnawing on it while rubbing the woman's white and tender body with his other hand, causing the latter to scream helplessly and painfully.

The man looked at the middle-aged man who was tied to the pillar and said, "Yan Zhiyun, Yan Zhiyun, don't you think you will have today, aren't you very powerful?" Will you punish my sins? Come on! Hahahaha......"
