Chapter 56 4 New Tiger Guard Battalion
By the time Badr woke up and had no clue about the operation of the Silk Country, Xue Boren had long since disappeared, and Badr beat his chest and stomped his feet but was helpless. Seeing that the army of the Silk Country had broken into the country for a certain distance and then retreated, and his own army was exhausted, Badr had no choice but to give up, and after arranging his troops, he went back to Dragon City to ask Abicil for his guilt.
Back in Dragon City, an even bigger blow awaits Badr there. It turned out that Xue Boren did not plunder all the treasures in the Dragon City Palace, but took some of the fine soft and burned the rest, which actually included all the gold sacrificial utensils used by the Tuqi Kingdom to sacrifice the Kunlun God!
If Xue Boren knew the function of these ritual vessels, he would definitely bring them back to China to achieve a great achievement. Unfortunately, the people of the Silk Kingdom in the city did not know the value of these ritual objects, and the Tuqi captives would not tell this at all, and as a result, these sacred utensils in the eyes of the Tukis were burned into a lump of gold by such a fire.
Seeing that the sacred ritual vessels were completely destroyed, the Tuqi people were all furious. Although the ritual can be recast, the shame is unbearable. Even Abicheril himself could not hide his anger, but his anger was not entirely due to the destruction of ritual weapons, but the fact that a large number of slaves from the Silk Country had been taken away. Among these people were very important craftsmen, and it was their labor that provided the siege equipment for the city, as well as the various defenses in the dragon city, and even the manufacture of many household items. Now that these people have escaped, they will not be able to complete these tasks by relying on the Tuqi people alone, which means that all their hard work in the past few years has been in vain, and the technical construction work of Tuqi has just started and has come to a standstill again. In his heart, he made up his mind. After he settles down the newly conquered Western Turki region, he must devote all his strength to a war of revenge against the Silk Country.
The people of the Turks were indignant because of the heavy losses. In the Silk Country, there was a lot of jubilation because of this unexpected victory.
Liu Yan, who received Xue Boren's battle report, couldn't help but throw the song fold into the air and cheered loudly, which shocked the dozen or so ministers present at the time for a while. Although the emperor Liu Yan is young. And he has always been a little uninhibited, but it was the first time since he succeeded to the throne that he was so disrespectful in front of his courtiers. After Liu Yan explained the content of the recital, everyone also congratulated the emperor, after all, it was a matter of great significance to be able to attack the capital of Tuqi in one fell swoop, although there was no great value in the Dragon City (no one knew about the burning of ritual vessels at this time), but this matter can greatly boost the morale of the people, but the value of political propaganda is incalculable.
For this reason, Liu Yan not only reprimanded Xue Boren for the crime of leading the troops to attack without authorization, but instead crowned Xue Boren as a loyal general on the fourth grade, and added a knight as a brave and respectful uncle; The adjutant general, Lu Qinghan, was a cavalry general from Wupin. The title of the captive is level, and the officers and soldiers who attack from it are all added to the knighthood by two ranks, and another 5,000 catties of gold are given as a reward.
Two years after the death of the late Duke Jingguo and Chang Miao, the protector of Liaodong Dadu, Xue Boren sat on the high position of the fourth grade because of this surprise attack on Dragon City, which was only one level worse than Chang Miao when he was the protector of Liaodong, and it can be said that it is an emerging general star in the country of silk. And the difference between him and Chang Miao is that Chang Miao was directly introduced by Liu Yan to become a third-grade official, while Xue Boren became a high-ranking official of the fourth grade in just four years from a Baichang at the age of forty-two, and his promotion speed set a new record for the promotion of military attachés after the founding of the Silk Country. This is in addition to Chang Miao's appreciation. In addition to his own luck, his own ability is also undoubted, and there have been many more experienced generals who have expressed dissatisfaction with his rapid rise to the top, after this surprise attack on Dragon City. really blocked the mouths of these people, because Xue Boren did what they didn't dare to do and couldn't do.
After receiving the Holy Decree. Xue Boren did another thing, that is, to form this elite cavalry brought back from Dragon City into an independent force, the Tiger Guard Battalion. The Tiger Guard Battalion, founded by Chang Miao, has become a symbol of honor in the army of the Silk Country. The soldiers were proud to be part of the Tiger Guard Battalion. It is a pity that this army is far away in Liaodong, in order to motivate the soldiers to be motivated. Xue Boren decided to build this unit again in Taiyuan Province. Theoretically, he was the first commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and it was only natural that he should build this new Tiger Guard Battalion. However, it is customary for people to call the Tiger Guard Battalion of the Liaodong Army the Tiger Guard Battalion, and the one in Taiyuan Mansion is called the New Tiger Guard Battalion. This title was not changed until years later when the third Tiger Guard Battalion appeared.
Xue Boren has established an eye-catching feat, and this news made the generals of the Liaodong Army, his colleagues back then, feel uneasy and difficult to calm down. After all, his official rank was above Xue Boren back then, but now he has overtaken him, which makes people inevitably feel a little embarrassed, but the strange thing is that among these people, the biggest reaction is actually Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin, whose official ranks have always been below Xue Boren.
These two young people have always been in love with their old commanders, but this time it is unusual, of course, they will not have the sour grapes mentality of the generals, what really makes them dissatisfied is that Xue Boren "stoleped" the name of the Tiger Guard Battalion.
"What's the matter, Lord Xue is so uncreative, he actually stole the title of the Tiger Guard Battalion, can't he use another name?" Wang Hanxin vented his dissatisfaction loudly.
"That's right, the Tiger Guard Battalion is the name of the Liaodong Army, how can it be copied like this, it's really unfair." Gao Dingbian, who has always stood on the side of persuading Wang Hanxin, also resolutely stood on his brother's side this time.
"The name of the Tiger Guard Battalion is the honor that thousands of our brothers have exchanged for their lives and blood, even if it is to scare the Tuqi people, we can't just do it, if we want to scare, we have to scare the Tiger Guard Camp ourselves! Wouldn't it be possible to change the name and fight for the honor of this name yourself? Besides, the name of Huweiying is not much" Wang Hanxin suddenly stopped when he said this, originally he wanted to say that the name was not loud enough, but he suddenly realized that belittling the name of Huweiying was extremely unreasonable and unfavorable to himself, and after hesitating for a while, he changed his words: "It's not familiar to the Tuqi people, and it may not be able to bluff people." ”
Because this change of words was too abrupt, the momentum of his speech suddenly weakened by more than a thousand times, and Su Chengdong on the side couldn't help laughing. was so troubled by the two of them, and the atmosphere of everyone who originally had the same hatred and hatred to crusade against Xue Boren was completely destroyed.
Du Hu He Ling coughed dryly, and said: "Don't quarrel with the two of you, Lord Xue was originally the first commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and it is okay for him to use this name, and he can completely say that this is the name he created, and you are the one who stole his achievements." Rather than this kind of false name, the Governor would like to ask the two of you, how did your original plan to consume Goryeo's national power go? In the past two years, we have been guarding the east-west border of Liaodong to prevent Tuqi and Goryeo from taking advantage of it, and we have left the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to you two dolls, so we should hand over a decent result to the governor, right? ”
Being said by He Ling, Wang Hanxin's momentum was even weaker, and this year they certainly killed Li Chenghui, the first brave general of Goryeo, but due to heavy losses, it is an indisputable fact that the original plan could not be completed. It can be said that the generals of Liaodong are waiting for the two of them to complete the goal of weakening Goryeo before giving Goryeo a fatal blow, so the speed of their actions determines when to start the general attack on Goryeo, and also determines the time for the generals to establish meritorious deeds.
Wang Hanxin blushed and said: "This year, we are acting unfavorably, we are stepping up training and replenishing personnel, recruiting horses, and we will act again in the spring of next year, this time without the interference of Li Chenghui's old man, we will definitely make Goryeo completely helpless, so that the Goryeo army in Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province will fall into a Jedi with no one to defend and no food to eat, paving the way for our army to march into Pyongyang!" ”
He Ling nodded: "This is like words." Use your actual actions to prove that the Tiger Guard Battalion in Liaodong is the most elite army. (To be continued......)
