Cao Bianjiao was stunned, why did he suddenly be promoted from a general to a general soldier? And it is to take over the position of Zu Dashou, is the court mistaken? This position should be General Mo's!

Liu Zhenyuan continued: "...... Cao Wenzhao commanded well, fought bravely, was awarded the rank of general of Zhenguo, and was promoted to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, with a bounty of 500 ...... each"

All the generals were puzzled, but Liu Zhenyuan was still reading out the holy decree, and no one dared to speak. 〈〔? VIII{{a Chinese Net(〈[〈 ]}).

“...... Song Wei, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was defeated in many battles, causing losses in generals, and is now demoted to Jinzhou staff to assist Qiu Hejia and Cao Bianjiao to defend Jinzhou. Ningyuan's deputy general Zu Dacheng took over as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, took over Wu Xiang's military power, and stationed in Ningyuan.

Pingyang's general army of bandits, Mo Li, lawless, killed Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, the two chief military officers, and his crime should be punished, but he was remembered for his outstanding performance in the battle of Dalinghe, effective command, and generosity, so he was exempted from capital crimes, demoted to Jinzhou generals, and made meritorious contributions to defend Dalinghe City...... Chin this! ”

After Liu Zhenyuan read out the holy decree, all the generals were frightened, you look at me, I look at you, no one opened their mouths for a while, and they forgot to say thank you for receiving the decree.

Liu Zhenyuan coughed lightly and said, "General Cao, take the order and thank you!" ”

Cao Bianjiao knelt in a daze, as if he hadn't heard Liu Zhenyuan's words, and the whole person seemed to be stupid. As the supreme commander of the Battle of Dalinghe, the general has made great contributions, but after this great victory, instead of rewarding his merits, he was demoted and punished, what is the reason?

After hearing this, everyone's hearts were bright, Mo Li annoyed the emperor at this time because of the unauthorized killing of Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, and was held accountable by the emperor.

But why are these subordinates not only not implicated, but also promoted, rewarded, and promoted?

Qiu Hejia saw that Cao Bianjiao was stunned and did not accept the order, for fear that Fang Datong and Liu Zhenyuan would be unhappy, so he coughed twice and reminded: "General Cao, are you too happy?" Hurry up and thank you! ”

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Fang Datong, Liu Zhenyuan, Qiu Hejia and others, and then looked at Mo Li, but saw that Mo Li's face was expressionless, and he said loudly at the moment: "Lord Fang!" Grandpa Liu! Master Qiu! There is something unclear about the last general, my family's chief soldier, General Mo, has made great contributions in this war, why does the imperial court not only not have the slightest reward for General Mo, but even demote and ask for guilt? ”

Liu Zhenyuan's heart skipped a beat, Gao Qiqian had said before he came that this Moli department was quite a bandit and it was not easy to deal with, so he had to deal with it carefully, and now it seems that as expected, Moli's subordinates are very angry with the court's treatment of him. At the moment, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that what was read out this time was only the decision to demote Mo Li, if it was announced that Mo Li would be arrested and punished, wouldn't it be the opposite?

Fang Datong coughed lightly and said, "General Xiao Cao, this is the emperor's holy ruling, and this official and Gonggong Liu are only responsible for conveying the emperor's will, and they don't know anything else." General Xiao Cao, you better hurry up and receive the order to thank you, don't let Gonggong Liu wait too long. ”

"Nope! If the court doesn't give an explanation, let's just take this decree! Cao Bianjiao raised his head and said stubbornly.

"You! You...... Licentious! Fang Datong was so angry that his beard raised and shouted: "Cao Bianjiao, are you going to resist the decree?" ”

Liu Zhenyuan's face also changed a few times, but he didn't speak.

Qiu Hejia hurriedly said on the side: "General Xiao Cao, you quickly accept the order!" Otherwise, this is a great disrespect to the emperor, this is a bully! ”

Guan Feng, Du Geng and others were at a loss, Cao Wenzhao was also shocked, and before he could speak, Cao Bianjiao had already said: "Unless the emperor takes back his order and rewards my generals again......"

Mo Li suddenly said: "Change Jiao, don't say it, take the order quickly!" ”

"General! This ......"

"Order!" Mo Li said in a firm tone.

Cao Bianjiao gritted his teeth, turned around and took the holy decree in Liu Zhenyuan's hand, and said with hatred in his mouth: "The last general Cao Bianjiao will take the decree!" Thank you, Lord Longne! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

After the generals took the order and stood up, Mo Li took a step forward and arched his hand: "Lord Fang, Gonggong Liu, Lord Futai, the last general Da Linghe still has military affairs to deal with, so I will leave first!" ”

Qiu Hejia knew that he was uncomfortable, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, General Mo, please go back, military affairs are important." ”

Moli nodded, turned and left.

Cao Bianjiao, Guan Feng and others were also about to leave, Mo Li said lightly: "Bianjiao, you stay, and go back after receiving the rewards of the brothers!" ”

"This ...... Be! Cao Bianjiao said reluctantly.

Mo Li and Guan Feng only took a few hundred soldiers out of Jinzhou City and rode their horses towards Dalinghe City.

Along the way, Mo didn't say a word, just beat the horse and galloped. Guan Feng hurriedly followed him, afraid that he would make a mistake, although the Tartar retreated, but after all, this is a border pass, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents.

The new commander of the guard, Sima Jian, also followed Mo Li on horseback, guarding Mo Li.

Since Liang Peijun was injured to save Moli last time, Guan Feng, He Zhenbei and others have been thinking about finding someone to re-select to form Moli's guards and be responsible for protecting Moli. Later, the thrilling scene on the head of Dalinghe City made He Zhenbei and others feel that it was urgent to form Moli's guards.

However, the generals were all entangled in military affairs, and they could not find a suitable person to be the commander of the guard for a while. Later, after Mo Li killed Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, Sima Jian and other subordinates of the original He Kegang expressed their willingness to follow Mo Li and join the Mo Ministry. Bai Zhicheng and Xiao Yang are both generals who lead the troops, and they are not suitable to be the commanders of the guards, so this candidate fell on Sima Jian.

Sima Jian is strong in martial arts, loyal and upright, and was originally the commander of He Kegang's personal soldiers, and has always been loyal to He Kegang and conscientious. After He Kegang's death, Sima Jian could also be said to have nowhere to go, and it happened that Moli did not have a guard captain, so Sima Jian became the most suitable candidate.

After Mo Li killed Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, it was tantamount to taking a great risk He Kegang took revenge, and these He Kegang's old subordinates were naturally grateful to him and extremely convinced. Therefore, there is no doubt about the loyalty of Sima Jian and the others.

After He Zhendong, the commander of the original pro-barracks, and Du Geng led the troops to Dalinghe City, there were more important things in Moli's army that he needed to do, so it was unlikely that he would be able to do this escort matter again, and he selected dozens of loyal veterans from the pro-barracks, and together with Sima Jian's original subordinates, Sima Jian was responsible for Moli's safety and security.

When he was about to arrive at Dalinghe City, he passed by the Memorial Cemetery, Mo Li stopped, beat his horse to the gate of the cemetery, jumped off the horse and walked slowly into the cemetery.

The cemetery has just been completed, and due to the constraints of conditions and time, the cemetery is relatively rough, but the rows of cypress trees planted in front of the memorial to the memorial convey the grief of the living to the deceased.

Mo Li stood quietly in front of the monument and bowed to the soldiers. Suddenly there was a drizzle of rain in the sky, and there was a slight chill in the north wind.

Guan Feng hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said softly: "My lord, it's raining, let's go back to the city." ”

"I want to stay here with the brothers. Today is the day of the imperial court's reward, and they should be happy too. Moli said.

"My lord, this emperor must have listened to the villain's slander, so he reduced your position and demoted you, and he will understand in the future."

Mo Li shook his head, was silent for a long time, raised his head, glanced at Guan Feng and said, "Guan Feng, are you really wronged by my own demotion and demotion by myself?" In fact, compared with these brothers who died in battle, we are already so lucky, it is already rare to be alive, where can we dare to ask for any reward and glory. ”

"What your lord is saying is that we are much luckier than our brothers who died in battle. Money and wealth are all things outside the body, and you don't have to care about it, it's just ......" Guan Feng said and stopped.

"But what?" Mo Li asked lightly.

Guan Feng hesitated, looked around, and said: "My lord, it doesn't matter if the court doesn't reward you, and it doesn't matter if Zu Da, the younger brother of the ancestor Dashou, becomes the chief soldier of Liaodong, but the emperor also promoted General Cao and General Xiao Cao to the general army of Liaodong and the chief soldier of the forward, but he cut you down, isn't this a mystery?" ”

Mo Li nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor's move can't be hidden, he just wants to divide our Pingyang army, divide our forces, and even make suspicion of each other and restrain each other, so that he doesn't have to be afraid of us." ”

"Afraid of us?"

Mo Li smiled and said, "The emperor is not only afraid of us, I guess he is also afraid that I will not die!" ”

"Your Excellency is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why does the emperor want your adult to die?" Guan Feng didn't understand it for a while.

"That's because in his eyes, I, Mo Li, am too disobedient and too impulsive, maybe he is afraid that I will kill him one day! Hehe. Mo Li smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I see, so my lord, you asked Xiao Cao to take the order and thank you for this consideration, right? If Xiao Cao does not accept the order, then the court will have more reason to cure our sins, and I am afraid that none of us will be able to get good at that time, and it will be even more difficult to clean up. ”

"That's right. But I'm afraid my brothers won't figure it out. Mo Li frowned and said, "You don't have it now?" That Gonggong Liu looked nervous after reading the holy decree, what does this mean? It shows that they are also afraid of our rebellion! ”

"My lord, what should we do? You're not really going to do it again, are you? Hey. ”

"What? When you saw that your husband was cut off, you planned to abandon me, right? Mo Li pretended to say: "If the old man wants to rebel, he will definitely pull you, who made you the first of the same kind that the old man met here?" ”

"Huh? When did you become an old man, my lord? Uh, uh, go back, your old wife is still waiting for you to come home~" Guan Feng laughed.

"! It is said that people's hearts are not ancient, I don't think the hearts of the ancients are good, grandma drops, it is really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs......"

Mo Li was about to go back, when suddenly a petite figure swept out of the corner behind the tombstone, only to hear a coquettish shout: "Mo Li, you bastard!" Look at the knives! ”
