North of Xiangyang, the camp of the Soviet army.

In the big tent, Su Zhe was discussing with Huangfu Song, Li Yan and others how to break through Xiangyang.

Just when there was a heated discussion, the soldiers outside the tent hurriedly came to report, saying that the queen mother Fengjia had arrived outside the camp.

"Queen? What did she come all the way here for? Su Zhe was a little surprised.

Huangfu Song hurriedly said: "Su Fu Yin, the queen mother is coming, we are not going to meet Feng Jia soon." ”

Su Zhe had no choice but to put aside the military discussion in front of him for the time being, and together with Huangfu Song, he led a group of civil and military personnel to meet him outside the camp in person.

After all, he was under the banner of the Son of Heaven to attack Xiangyang and crusade against Liu Biao, a "traitor".

Now that the queen is here in person, no matter what her reason, Su Zhe must show great respect, otherwise how can he show outsiders the legitimacy and legitimacy of "serving the Son of Heaven to please not be a minister".

Su Zhe then joined Huangfu Song and took a group of civil and military generals to greet him outside the camp.

Stepping out of the camp gate, I saw the gorgeous Fengluan car driving from a distance, and it had slowly driven into the camp gate.

The carriage stopped, the curtain of the car, and the dignified figure of Queen Fushou came into view of Su Zhe.

is the so-called eighteen changes of the female university, although Fu Shou is a queen and has a sophisticated act, but after all, she is still a young girl, she is in the stage of growth and development, and after a long time, Su Zhe found that she seemed to have grown up a little more mature.

"Minister Su Zhe, meet the queen mother." Su Zhe stood in front of the carriage and bowed.

Fu Shou smiled and flicked his hand: "Su Qing is exempt." ”

Su Zhe straightened up, and saw Fu Shou bending his knees slightly, wanting to get off the carriage, so he didn't think much about it, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to take a hand.

It is taboo for a courtier to have physical contact with the queen!

Su Zhe's modern thinking has never been extinguished, so naturally there are fewer of these concerns, and when others look at it, their eyes can't help but change.

Fu Shou was also stunned, hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly stretched out his hand and gently hugged Su Zhe.

"Mother, be careful." Su Zhe gently helped Fu Shou and got out of the carriage.

Huangfu Song on the side, watching Su Zhe and Fu Shou's skin touch, couldn't help frowning, secretly complaining that Su Zhe was rude and offended the queen.

It's just that when she saw that the queen didn't say anything, he had to open one eye and close one eye, and he couldn't squeak.

The two monarchs and ministers walked all the way to the hinterland of the camp.

"The front line is a place of right and wrong, why did Niangniang come?" Su Zhe asked curiously.

Fu Shou said with a smile: "Su Qing, you broke Liu Biao and surrounded Xiangyang, which really grew Your Majesty's prestige and strengthened the momentum of the imperial court. ”

Bounty?

Su Zhe's eyes moved, and he immediately realized that this was Liu Xie's intention to double his envelopment and seal him as an official.

"This is a matter within the minister's duty, and you don't dare to covet Your Majesty's reward." Su Zhe naturally understands that there must still be humility in the scene.

Fu Shou said with a straight face: "Your Majesty has always had clear rewards and punishments, and now Su Qing has made such a great contribution to the imperial court, if Your Majesty can't reward your merits, how can you show your Majesty's wisdom to the people of the world, and let the people of the world follow Su Qing's example, this reward, Su Qing must accept it." ”

Speaking of this, Su Zhe naturally had no reason to be hypocritical anymore, so he had to accept it.

As they spoke, they entered the Great Tent.

Fu Shou stood at the top, took out the holy decree, and read it out loud: "Yin Suzhe of Nanyang Mansion won the victory, thanks to the imperial court. ”

Hearing these rewards in the holy decree, Li Yan, Gan Ning and other Su Zhe's descendants were all overjoyed and secretly happy.

According to the Han system, the rank of the general of the chariot cavalry, second only to the general, and after the general of the hussar, is the third general in the central military rank, under the three dukes, and above the nine qing.

Su Zhe's original official position was just Nanyang Mansion Yin, and he had no military position, but now he has become a general of the chariot cavalry, and the promotion of this official position can no longer be described as a smooth step, it is like riding a rocket.

As for the right to open the palace, it means that Su Zhe can have his own overlordship, set up Changshi, Sima, engage in official positions and other official positions, and justifiably recruit staff to enrich the overlord.

Of course, the names and powers of the Che Cavalry General and the Kaifu are actually all false, and the most important one of the holy decrees is to grant Su Zhe the power to act as the government of the government.

This decree is equivalent to granting Su Zhe the power to take charge of the military and political affairs of the imperial court, that is to say, Su Zhe now has the power that Dong Zhuo had to control the government at the beginning.

Although the current imperial court is still in a corner of Nanyang, even if Su Zhe has the power to control the government, in fact, the scope of his power can really be extended, that is, Nanyang's own one-third of an acre.

However, after all, he was authorized by the Son of Heaven and has the name of righteousness, which is justified in legal theory.

And this means that from now on, he can even recruit talents from all over the world without going through the Son of Heaven and give orders to the outside world.

Although the prestige of the Son of Heaven is declining, it is still somewhat effective, for example, the rebellion of the three counties of Jingnan this time, that is, with the edict of the Son of Heaven alone, it can incite the three counties to betray Liu Biao, which shows that the banner of righteousness of the Son of Heaven is still quite useful.

Su Zhe was not surprised at all by the Son of Heaven's holy decree.

It's very simple, the Son of Heaven he had to give!

If it was a month ago, he was still on the weak side, and it was very likely that he would be attacked and destroyed by Liu Biao, and then he would definitely die, but the Son of Heaven would not be able to express his goodwill to Liu again, in fact, the most dangerous thing was himself, not the Son of Heaven.

At that time, the Son of Heaven still had some room to wait and see, so he could naturally drag it out and not give Su Zhe an official.

But now, he broke Liu Biao, not only captured Fancheng, but also killed Xiangyang City, and had the potential to swallow Jingzhou in one breath.

He has made such a great contribution, reversed the trend of strength and weakness, is not afraid of Liu Biao's threat, and his position and power are stable, at this time, if the Son of Heaven still wants to drag on and not give him a reward, he will have to wait for him to ask for it.

Instead of being forced to give Su Zhe an official, it is better to take the initiative to reward him to envelop him, even if the Son of Heaven does not understand, Fu Shou, a shrewd queen, should also be very clear.

Thoughts were flying, and these pros and cons were weighed and analyzed, and lightning flashed through Su Zhe's mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pass a subtle smile.

At that moment, he arched his hand and said angrily: "The minister will thank you, thank you Your Majesty and Niangniang for your trust, and the minister will do his best to help me Dahan Sheji, do his best, and die for himself." ”

Fu Shou was very satisfied, hurriedly helped Su Zhe up, and said with a smile: "Su Qing can have this heart, and it is not in vain Your Majesty's expectations and trust in Su Qing." ”

In the big tent, there was an atmosphere of joy.

Li Yan and other civil and military subordinates are naturally very happy, Su Zhe's promotion of the lord means that their subordinates can also follow the tide and be promoted to knighthood, who can not be happy.

After all, these heroes are willing to follow Su Zhe, and to put it mildly, they are impressed by Su Zhe's resourcefulness and temperament, to put it bluntly, it is not that they fancy Su Zhe is a potential stock, and they can be promoted and rich with him, and win glory and wealth.

Except for one person.

In the big tent, only Huangfu Song was not happy, he was always frowning, obviously jealous of Su Zhe's promotion.

After receiving the holy decree, everyone congratulated Su Zhe one after another, and he did not say a word.

Su Zhe took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "Old General Yizhen, Su is acting for the imperial court for the first time, and if there is something unclear, please ask Old General Yizhen to help you a lot." ”

Huangfu Song took a deep breath and arched his hand: "We are both doing things for the imperial court, since Your Majesty trusts Su Cheqi so much, Xia Guan should do his best to assist Su Cheqi." ”

Su Zhe's current official position is the general of the chariot cavalry, and the official position of Huangfu Song is just a general, although he is far better than Su Zhe in terms of qualifications, but his official position is a head shorter than Su Zhe.

He now took the initiative to change his name to be "Xia Guan", which naturally means that he respects the will of the Son of Heaven and is willing to submit to Su Zhe.

After some polite words, Fu Shou asked: "Su Zhe has entered Xiangyang now, I don't know what Su Qing plans to do next?" ”

"The minister naturally wants to conquer Xiangyang for His Majesty, as long as we can take this city, we can drive Liu Biao to the south, and from now on, Wancheng will no longer have to be threatened by Liu Biao, and Your Majesty can have no worries in the south." Su Zhe replied without thinking.

Fu Shou nodded and said: "If this can be the case, it will naturally be excellent, but on the way to this palace, I heard that this Xiangyang is the first fortified city in Jingzhou, is Su Qing really confident that he can capture it?" ”

"Rest assured, no matter how strong the city is, once the people's hearts are broken, it will also be fragile, and the minister expects that at this moment, in Xiangyang City, the people's hearts are already panicking."

As soon as the words turned, a glimmer of light flashed in Su Zhe's eyes, and he said: "Speaking of which, Niangniang came just right, and the minister wondered if Niangniang could move with the minister, and the minister wanted to borrow Niangniang's prestige to further break the resistance of the military and people in Xiangyang, and then give Liu Biao a heavy blow." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song frowned, and immediately objected: "Su Cheqi, your proposal is excessive, Niangniang Yi Tianzi, the drive of ten thousand gold, how can it appear in such a dangerous place in front of the two armies." ”

The voice fell, but Fu Shou said: "Su Qing and the soldiers fought for the Son of Heaven, if this palace can help, it is naturally incumbent." ”

"But the mother ......"

"Old General Yizhen doesn't need to be persuaded, this palace knows that you are kind, but this palace also believes in Su Qing, and you can definitely protect the safety of this palace." Fu Shou's trusting gaze looked deeply at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe said with a straight face: "Although Niangniang can rest assured, with Su Zhe here, no one will want to hurt Niangniang in the slightest." ”

At that moment, Su Zhe issued an order, and the troops left the camp and went to the north gate of Xiangyang to assemble.

The order was passed down, the sound of gongs sounded in the camp, and 10,000 troops marched out of the camp and lined up at the north gate of Xiangyang.

The formation of the armies was over, and Su Zhe escorted Fu Shou, slowly passing through the military formation and reaching the front of the formation.

When the queen's phoenix umbrella cover appeared in the array, the Soviet soldiers were all greatly encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted.

And the defenders of Jingzhou at the head of the city were already disturbed by Su Zhe's previous spiritual offensive, and now they are even more demoralized when the Soviet army is about to attack the city.

When the queen appeared in front of the battle and cheered for the Soviet army, the Jingzhou soldiers at the head of the city were even more shocked, and they trembled even more.

In the center of the city tower, Liu Biao looked at the queen's umbrella cover in front of the battle, frowned secretly, and muttered: "Su Zhe, a traitor, actually kidnapped the queen to the front to shake the hearts of our army, it is really insidious and treacherous!" ”

After gritting his teeth and scolding secretly, Liu Biao took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and a hint of mockery gradually rose in his eyes.

"Su thief, the old man wants to see, can you still be arrogant next......"

With a sneer, Liu Biao waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, escort those people up!" ”
