Chapter 47 Meritorious Service
"The specific battle report hasn't come out yet! Don't worry, Lord Nima, the battle report will come out tomorrow, let's talk about it again! Lord Nima, I have worked hard all the way, and there are just a few sheep in the capture, how about we roast the whole sheep and eat them later? Nima was good at shooting the case, but Guo Xing'a suddenly became as calm as water.
"Lord Guoxing, this roasted whole sheep is delicious, so let's do it according to Lord Guoxing's wishes!" Nimashan put away his fierce face, and forgot to remind Goxinga to say one word less of his name.
"Uncle Sai, go and arrange the roast sheep! Don't keep the guests waiting, I'll sort out the battle report with you in the evening. Guo Xinga smiled and patted his belly.
"Huh!" The embarrassed Saishana agreed, and went directly down to arrange for the miscellaneous team to prepare the meal.
After Saishana left, Goxinga and Nima Shandu instantly transformed into the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, opening the mode of mutual praise. Guoxinga praised Nimashan as a young talent, and Nimashan praised Guoxinga as a fearsome posterity. Guoxinga thanked Nimashan for galloping to the aid in the starry night, and Nimashan admired Guoxing's ability to govern the army. Nima Shanzheng studied classics and history, and Guoxinga is also a bachelor's degree in the 21st century. The two of them were frantically dragged at each other, and they could hear the group of big bosses present who were covered with clouds and fog, but Fengsheng nodded again and again. Secretly admired Nima Shan's profound knowledge and Guo Xing'a's unique insights.
The soldiers' lunch was just meat and vegetables, but the officers had a whole sheep feast. A total of seven sheep were roasted, and Guoxing Aso opened seven tables of banquets. There are not many officers brought by Nimashan, and there are many platoon commanders in Goxinga. In addition, the people of the miscellaneous service team and the guard squad were also full of people, and everyone was full of oil. Some unpromising officers of the New Army, such as Li Zhizhi and others, quietly hid some inconspicuous pieces of meat in their sleeves and prepared to go back to the brothers to taste.
The chairman's senior officers did not have the same appetite as the junior officers, and the delicious roast lamb tasted like chewing wax in their mouths. Nima raised his glass frequently during the banquet, and kept saying loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and Guoxinga also came and went, and he was loyal and patriotic. Just now, one was bitter and the other pretended to be crazy and stupid, but now they are like brothers, hooking shoulders and backs intimately.
When the wine was drunk, Nima chanted Cao Zhi's "White Horse Chapter" to help the wine. As soon as the sentence "donating one's body to the country, seeing death as if it were home" came out, Guoxing Ah Lian made three bowls to show his admiration. Then Guo Xing'a took advantage of the situation to come up with a grassland style song "Friend's Wine" to express his cherishing of the friendship with Nima Shan. As soon as the end note of "It's like a friend's glass of spirits burns my heart, warm me and don't rest assured in everything", Guo Xing'a dried the wine in the bowl again. Nima Shan also made three bowls in a row to show that his confidant was rare.
The two of them are disgusting and dead, and the others don't have the consciousness to be happy with you. These people who only lick their glasses every time they raise their glasses don't feel that the two of them have released their previous suspicions. Guo Xing'a still had a strange smile on his face when he looked at Ni Ma Shan, and when Ni Ma Shan secretly looked at Guo Xing'a, his eyes were also cold. couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two, and everyone didn't dare to slack off, every sip of wine and every bite of food was carefully considered, ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.
A meal was eaten more than lunch until the willow tops on the moon, and Guoxing Acai and Nima Shan reluctantly drank all the wine in the cup. Although Goxinga did not invite Nimashan to sleep on his feet, he still gave up the small courtyard where he lived to Nimashan. After Nimashan repeatedly refused, he was happy.
led everyone to the residence of Saishan'a, and Guo Xing'a began to vomit in his throat, tearing his heart and lungs, and only refusing to stop when he was about to vomit out all the bitter gall. Fuquan handed over a hot towel to wipe his face, and drank a few cups of strong tea, before Guo Xinga leaned back on the chair and moved his neck.
"My lord, are you feeling better? You shouldn't drink so much at your age! Sezanne asked with concern.
"Elder Xian, did you see this Nima last time you went to the Jiangnan camp?" Guo Xing'a just raised his hand to signal Saishan'a, and then looked at Xiande with clear eyes.
"Lord Hui, according to your orders, the leaders of all the battalions in the Jiangnan camp have visited, and there is no such Nimashan. I have seen that Bi Yuntao, he was originally a person under Zhang Guoliang, he is not a good man, just a soldier. Xiande suddenly felt that Guo Xing'a was a little unfathomable.
"What about you? Do you know this Nima? "Before drinking, Guo Xing'a explained to Saishan, and after the dismissal, all the officers above the company level discussed the discussion.
"Lord Hui, my subordinates have never heard of this person, at least this person was not in the Jiangnan camp before we reported for merit last time." Xishou has several advantages, one is that he has a good memory and will never forget any Shangguan. The second is that he has traveled extensively, and there is no one he doesn't know up and down the Jiangnan camp.
"Xishou, you leave tonight, go to the Jiangnan camp, and be sure to find out to me where this Nima came from within three days, and who the backer is. Xilab, a squad of cavalry companies, escorted Xishou to the Jiangnan camp overnight. Guo Xing'a rubbed the tea bowl in his hand.
"My lord, this is going to the camp in Jiangnan for no reason...... "Xishou was embarrassed to say something in front of everyone.
"Take a hundred taels of silver from the seizure, don't think about so many names, it's also a matter in the eyes of those who have a heart. You just want Wang Jun, and you want to send him some money to spend, what's not to do? "Guoxing Ake doesn't have as many scruples as Xishou.
"Huh!" Xishou bowed down to answer the order.
"Uncle Sai, you go and get money for Xishou, Xirabu, you go and transfer troops, leave immediately, don't delay!" Goxinga was a little impatient.
After the three of them were ordered to go out, Guo Xing'a played with the tea bowl in his hand and was silent for a long time. The officialdom knowledge learned in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" let him know that the problem was there, but Ni Mashan's performance seemed to be more than that simple.
"My lord, are you too eager, Lord Nimashan's attitude seems to have eased a lot. And he's just here to help us, not our superiors, so you don't have to worry too much. Fengsheng Ah saw that Guo Xing's brows were tightly locked, and he stepped forward to comfort.
"Do you think that Nima's nose is not a nose today, and his face is not a face, why is it making such a fuss?" Goxinga's eyes swept over everyone.
"Look at his young age, a fat kid, just come out to play prestige."
"Look at him and he doesn't understand military affairs, let's talk nonsense! Your Excellency has been smiling at him, and in the end he is not holding the shelf. ”
"It's just a snarky person, and he won't be a human ......"
Everyone talked for a while, Guoxing Adu listened carefully, and finally turned to Xiande and said, "Xian Lao, what do you see? ”
"Back to my lord, Xia Guan thinks it's both! And it is estimated that he still has the idea of asking for bribes, and eighty percent wants to get a piece of the pie. Xiande thought for a while.
"It's still clear to be old, and you can learn more from the old in the future." Guo Xing'a continued to rub the tea bowl.
"I'm afraid that asking for bribes is just a little bit, and the share of credit is the big one." Guo Xinga sighed.
"I wonder what the adults think?" Xiande felt that Guo Xing'a had a maturity that was extremely inconsistent with his age.
"It's hard work, and a little hard work should still be paid. I have the reputation of five battles of righteousness and squandering wealth, and it is estimated that there is no one in the Jiangnan camp who does not know now, does this Nima still need to give us a horse? I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink! Guo Xing'a especially hates this kind of intrigue in officialdom, and he feels that he can't keep up.
"Are you worried that Nima Shan has other plans?" Xiande suddenly felt that something was wrong, the money in the Jiangnan camp was all sent out by him. As long as this Nima Shan has been in the Jiangnan camp for a while, he should know that Guoxing'a is very on the road, how can he play anything.
"After running hundreds of miles of hard work, the battle is over, and anyone will be a little resentful. But such a method that almost tears the face is estimated to be not something that can be solved with a little money. Goxinga sighed.
"Are you worried?" Xiande didn't believe that Guo Xing'a would be reluctant to pay money, this young master threw money like throwing stones, and the last trip to the Jiangnan camp was even a little person with eight or nine grades.
"This Nima wants to share the credit!" Guo Xinga was very reluctant to take credit for his own achievements, he wanted to be promoted, and he wanted to have more troops.
"Adults are worried!" Xiande is a little unconvinced, you only arrived after the battle is over, so you have to share the credit, which is too shameless.
"The battle report will be discussed tomorrow!" Goxinga knew that it was this sentence that made Nimashan stop stirring up trouble.
"Talk?" Xiande was suddenly shocked, and when the main hall was deliberating, Guo Xing'a did say that the battle report would be discussed tomorrow, and Nima Shancai was honest. The battle report is to report the results of a battle, and if there is anything to talk about, to talk about it is to talk about how to divide things.
"Everyone carries the sedan chair, and it's not a big deal to divide his head and seize it, and I'm not a person who eats alone, I'm afraid that this Nima has too much appetite. We were too rushed this time, and there were too many things that leaked white. Nima dared to stare at her like this, and it is estimated that the backstage backing is not small. As long as the Hechun Army Gate has a planning effort, I'm afraid this Nima will not be easy to dismiss! Guo Xinga let out another long sigh.
Everyone was speechless, and if it was really like what Goxinga said, this Nimashan was indeed not easy to dismiss. In case he really has a tough backer, this master has to bite Guo Xing'a hard. Thinking of Nimashan's sentence "Donating one's body to go to the country, seeing death as if he were going home", this one really doesn't understand military affairs, but has a lot of ambition.
After a sleepless night, Guo Xing'a, Saishan'a, Xiande and others changed and changed the battle report, and finally came up with a plan that they thought was not bad. The first rank was given to Nimashan more than 200 people, and the captives were divided into more than 100 people, and the grain, grass and miscellaneous items were not counted, and more than 500 taels of gold and silver.
"Xiaguan Gu'an garrison inlaid with blue flags 11th Zuo Leader Guo Xing'a reported that on August 3, the ninth year of Xianfeng, more than 3,000 people from the bandit Huang Daping's department committed our defense. Lai Jun was given the opportunity in front of the door, and the subordinate officials supervised the bloody battle for two days and nights, and the defense was not successful. However, the rebels and bandits were in a big position, and they bombarded our garrison with several foreign cannons, and the staff suffered heavy casualties, and all fronts were in an emergency. The subordinate only wanted to die and be completely loyal, but he went to the crown to make up for it, and the naked clothes and blades went straight to the front of the battle. He led his troops to call out long live the emperor, and then rushed straight to the enemy's formation, wanting to hit the pillar for the beauty of the white bi. Fortunately, the reinforcements sent by the military gate led the army to the rescue, and the internal and external attacks were greatly broken bandit army. More than 20 bandits were beheaded in battle, more than 600 levels were beheaded, and 200 enemies were captured. A number of cattle, donkeys, mules and horses were obtained, and the grain, grass, soldiers, and equipment were not counted. Zuoling Nima's good department also won a lot of money, when the other text to report, please ask the military gate to learn. ”
Xiande read down the battle report in a frustrated manner, and Guo Xing'a nodded frequently when he heard it, after all, this is a win-win ending, so make a friend!
"Lord Guoxing, this battle report is quite inconsistent with the truth!" Nima tapped her fingers on the armrest of the chair.
"You're welcome, Lord Nima, we're friends! Don't talk so much between friends, righteous anger! Guo Xing said with a smile.
"Lord Guoxing, the official is called Nima Shan, not Nima, don't say anything wrong. Even if it is a friend, we must seek truth from facts, we are doing things for the court, how can we be vague! Nimashan remembered to correct Goxinga again, and his voice raised an octave.
"Lord Nimashan, what do you think?" Guo Xing'a was still smiling, but his eyes became solemn when he looked at Nimashan.
"Your unit was defeated by the bandits, and after the rout, it was rescued by the reinforcements of this officer, and you should report it realistically. Your ministry can't help collect the head and seize it, so you can take all the credit on your own head! Nimashan also looked at Goxinga solemnly.
"Huh! It seems that this battle report has to be sorted out again! Nima-sama, what would you like to eat today? Goxinga's smile was more standard, revealing eight teeth.
