Balmy autumn day!

The court rewarded the court, the military heart was happy, the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and the people were arbitrary. (5) ∨ eight (5) ∨ eight (5) ∨ read (5) ∨ books, .●.●o

Regardless of whether the vassal states were in dire straits, the Yan Kingdom was full of laughter.

Taking advantage of the fact that the court's reward ceremony has not yet begun, the people began the autumn harvest, and the drought in the south has not affected Yan Guo, this year, for Yan Guo, it is another bumper harvest year.

Fallen leaves spread all over the official road, making it a golden carpet, Liu Xuanyuan, Lei Zeying, led the Praetorian Guard, protected the emperor's relatives, hundreds of officials in the court, with the information of various tribes, migrated from Jinyang City.

The heroes met and the family reunited, Lin Feng was hindered by government affairs, but he didn't have time to be intimate with Han Xuejian, Xiao Linlang and others.

As Murong Qiyan thoroughly refined the deployment of the placement of prisoners outside the Saiwai, many things came out, involving the household department to implement household registration, and the criminal department to formulate decrees and intensive surveillance.

In addition, since all these people have become Yan people, they need to build houses, divide land, buy farming cattle, farm tools, and so on.

Although it is all a very small matter, it must be refined, the decree must be notified to all counties, states and counties, the policy is implemented, and the people outside the country are appeased, so as not to cause turmoil in the Yan country.

Wang Lunyue was responsible for recruiting new recruits among the cavalry who surrendered, and he was also very busy, hoping to pick out strong and strong people who were good at riding and archery from the captives to replenish all kinds of cavalry regiments in Yan State.

Yan stopped the truce, many people did not know the truth of Yan State, they only felt that Yan State was intimidating Song State, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and enjoying the benefits of fishermen.

How could he know Lin Feng's thoughts, if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, especially a vassal state like Yan that relies on military conquest to plunder the land, population, wealth, and rise of other countries.

Without a good foundation, without digesting the occupied land, and without attracting the support of the people of all countries, it is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper, and any accident may make the paper crack.

Isn't there such a sentence, the wood of the hug, born in the end of the millimeter, the nine-story platform, from the soil, the first step is very important, at present, Yan Guo took the first step, and every step must be steady and steady, and must not become a floating lonely hanging.

Therefore, at present, all efforts are made only to accumulate and develop in the future.

Almost at the same time, Lin Feng had to prepare for the reward, the general died in a hundred battles, the strong man returned in ten years, and led the army to fight, although he had the idea of protecting his family and defending the country, however, these generals who fought a hundred battles, didn't they have a little selfish desire, not for fame and fortune, not for wealth, not for status?

Impossible, in Lin Feng's opinion, if there is no desire, it is rigid, and in a flesh-and-blood person, it is not possible at all.

Therefore, this time I can't help but want to be rewarded, and I want to reward it in a big way, I dare not say that I want to fill the gap of everyone, but also to satisfy their desire for fame, money, and honor.

As a result, he worked hard for Yan Guo and became a loyal and brave general under him.

The officials to be relocated from Jinyang City gradually finished handling the affairs in hand, and Lin Feng chose the important ministers of the court to form a review body headed by Lin Xiao, Liu Xuanyuan, Wen Jishi, Situ, Liu Chengfeng, Chu Fuyan, and Jian Yuyan.

It is hoped that from among the generals in the army, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the general of the three dukes, and the generals of various roads, and the generals of the four expeditions, the generals of the four towns, the generals of the four an, the generals of the four pings, and so on.

In addition, according to the title of the fifth rank of the prince and uncle, the Korean Chinese military officials and the imperial relatives were rewarded, so that the military generals who had served the Yan State for many years enjoyed due honor.

However, for Lin Xiao, Wen Jishi and others, it is very difficult to fairly reward the generals in the fierce Yan Kingdom.

In desperation, as the secretary of the military department, Wen Jishi formulated strict selection conditions, hoping to strive to be fair, according to the military combat ability of the generals, the contribution to the Yan State over the years, whether it was recognized by the people, and the emperor's preferences to make choices.

According to these conditions, within a few days, Wen Jishi and others conducted a large number of competitions, and almost determined the preliminary ranking, but there were still serious differences in individual candidates

In the past few days, Wen Jishi, Situ, and Lin Xiao have discussed many times, but it gradually turned into an argument, and everyone was deadlocked, so they had to leave the matter to Lin Feng to decide.

The argument of the seven people is nothing more than to determine who is the leader of Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng, Feng Shihu, and Zhao Hongru, and who has more military achievements.

The question reached Lin Feng's ears, and everyone discussed it in the warm pavilion.

The dispute between everyone is actually the dispute between Wen Jishi, Liu Xuanyuan and his son, and Situ, Chu Fuyan, and Jian Yuyan, in the final analysis, the dispute between Yan people and non-Yan people.

For a long time, Lin Feng personally led the troops to fight outside, and the government was almost mostly handled by the six departments.

The literati were inferior to each other, and the officials of the Yan dynasty came from various vassal states, and as the contradictions expanded, it became a phenomenon of huddling together for warmth, thus forming two interest groups of Yan people and non-Yan people.

Among the six departments, the Yan people include the military department Shangshu Wen Jishi, the criminal department Shangshu Liu Chengfeng, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Li Mengchang, and the household department Shangshu Yu Zeqiong, and the non-Yan Guoren, including the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Situ, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Jian Yuyan.

It seems that the non-Yan people are in a weak position in the competition, however, Situ controls the government and Chu Fuyan knows military affairs, although he is not one of the six Shangshu, he also has a pivotal position.

At present, the forces of the two sides in the DPRK and China are almost equal, but the existence of Liu Xuanyuan can't help but break the balance of the pattern between the two sides, and even more make this civilian-official dispute involve the military generals.

Therefore, when selecting who is the best in Yan ** and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses this time, there was a dispute between the two factions.

However, the Great Yan army mostly recruited and displaced people, or recruited prisoners from various countries, and there were very few generals who really belonged to the old land of Yan, and among the eight generals of Cangyan Mountain alone, only Zhao Hongru was the old man of Yan State, and the rest were refugees who fled from various vassal states.

In addition, no matter Feng Yi, Li Lin, Tuoba Yu, Ling Huzang and others are all from foreign countries, so whether it is Wen Jishi or Liu Xuanyuan, they all want to support Zhao Hongru to become a leader in the army.

Moreover, Zhao Hongru's military exploits over the years are no less than Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng, Feng Shihu and others, and with a little activity, he is qualified to become the leader in the Yan army.

Lin Feng was not clear about this kind of conflict of interests of regional groups, at least when the other party sent the problem to him, he still didn't understand the truth.

After listening to the selection of generals by both sides, he only asked lightly: "Everyone has their own recommended candidates, and they must have their own reasons for recommending, so you might as well say it directly." ”

Among the six departments, except for Yu Zeqiong, the head of the household department, who does not participate in the factional dispute, the rest of the people are involved.

At present, the local generals of Yan State are weak, and Li Mengchang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, first stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses is the highest military position, the general leader and the government, and the conquest, you must choose people who have both ability and political integrity, and can be civil and martial, General Zhao Hongru is one of the few generals in the army who has both civil and military skills, and he is the best candidate!" ”

Speaking of which, in addition to Li Lin and Feng Yi, Zhao Hongru is indeed a general with both Chinese and martial arts, which is very envious of Hou Mingfeng, Zhang Yu, and Feng Shihu.

When Lin Feng heard this, he didn't have time to speak, Chu Fuyan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Li's words are too one-sided, the general is the main battle, although General Zhao has both civil and military skills, however, the war involves the whole body, not a decisive person, a person with a talent for generals, it is difficult to be worthy of a big responsibility, moreover, the Yan army is mostly cavalry, General Zhao commands the infantry, if he is appointed as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the army will not accept it, and the emperor will think twice!" ”

"To pacify the north, a large number of cavalry is needed, but the war is transferred to the south, the cavalry will rarely be able to give full play to the advantage, and the infantry will have the upper hand, and General Zhao will serve as the marshal of the soldiers and horses, but it seems that the emperor attaches importance to the south, and the infantry will be trained in the future, which can better demonstrate the emperor's foresight." Li Mengchang did not hesitate to fight back.

"Lord Li, when the emperor was thirsty for talent, issued a decree to seek talent, convened the princes and scholars, and the warriors entered the Yan country, everyone worked together to create the prosperity of the Yan country today, today, the generals in the army come from the princely states, in order to repay the emperor's kindness, desperately kill the enemy on the battlefield, and lay down an iron bucket for the Yan country, and enjoy the reward, it is a matter of course, you proposed that the court will train infantry in the future, and ignore the cavalry exploits, is there a suspicion of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the so-called emperor is visionary, in fact, it will push the emperor to the unkind and unrighteous place, Bury the good situation of Yan Kingdom. Chu Fuyan rolled up the sleeves of his court clothes, with a fierce attitude, a desperate posture, and a resolute tone, but with a bit of sadness.

Although Wen Jishi, Situ and others have not yet expressed their position, however, the verbal attitudes of Li Mengchang and Chu Fuyan still made Lin Feng smell different from the past.

Since ancient times, rewards have included many interests, and it is understandable for Li Chu and the two to quarrel and compete for interests, however, in Li Mengchang's language, he put forward words such as seeking merit orders, unloading the mill and killing donkeys, which made Lin Feng think of other things.

As for Zhao Hongru, with Hou Mingfeng, Zhang Yu, Feng Shihu, and Lin Feng, they have their own poles in their hearts.

He knew very well that the four of them were all veteran generals of Cangyan Mountain, and they were all generals who grew up with the rise of the Yan Kingdom, and they had made significant contributions to the Yan Kingdom's siege of cities and land. Moreover, he has made outstanding achievements in war and has outstanding military command ability.

Putting aside the relationship between Hou Mingfeng and himself, military merit has become the main factor in determining who is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

After the training of troops in Cangyan Mountain, when Zhang Yu swept through the western part of Jin, Feng Shihu was stationed in Huguan, Zhao Hongru, and Hou Mingfeng captured the Bishan Plain in the south, and later participated in the counterattack against the Rong people at the same time.

Next, Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng went deep into the grassland, Zhang Yu hit Tara heavily in the south, causing the division of Donghu, Hou Mingfeng was in the north, swept the tribes of Donghu, and even seized the three counties of Hunhe with Lin Feng.

After that, all participated in the battle of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Yu Hou Mingfeng blocked Wang Lunyue's army, Zhao Hongru, Feng Shihu captured most of the southern Jin region, and pacified the northeast of Jin Chen Yue to stand on his own.

In the battle of Liang State, Feng Yi's army was severely damaged at the same time and captured the Ma Wu army.

In the battle of Zhao State, Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng fought against Li Mu's army, and Feng Shihu and Zhao Hongru swept through the counties.

In the battle of Saiwai, Hou Mingfeng and Zhao Hongru performed even better, even if the five major legions jointly attacked the cavalry outside the Saiwai, the two of them had previously led the army to garrison Yunxia Mountain, and they made great contributions.

If you don't calculate in detail, the military exploits of the four people are almost equal, however, in terms of their contribution to the Yan State at that time, they are still comparable, and the most important watershed has become a battle to annihilate the tribes of the grassland.

Hou Mingfeng and Zhao Hongru defended Yunxia Mountain, and severely damaged the coalition army outside the Saiwai, relying on this military merit alone, Hou Mingfeng was slightly superior, not only took the initiative to hit the coalition army many times, on the contrary, cooperated with Zhao Hongru many times to block the coalition army attacking the mountain, and ensured that Yunxia Mountain was unhindered.

Glancing at the few people seated, Lin Feng asked, "What's going on?" Why is the problem focused on Zhao Hongru, and what does the reward have to do with the merit-seeking order? ”
