Chapter 22: The Master Book
Just as Lu Bu was on his way back to Jinyang after announcing the name change of his army, the copywriting reported to the top had been sent to Ding Yuan's most trusted subordinate, Zhang Yang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Yang read the newly arrived messages, recorded them together with all the previous daily events, and after going through them in his heart, he began to get up and go to Ding Yuan's residence to make a daily routine report to him.
From the gate of Ding Yuan's residence to the courtyard at the entrance of the study, Zhang Yang has been holding the book in his hand and moving forward steadily without squinting.
This has almost become a habit for Zhang Yang to enter Ding Yuan's mansion, not only Zhang Yang, but almost all the old subordinates who have been under Ding Yuan's hands come in like this.
Because Ding Yuan has been instilled in orthodox Confucian concepts since he was a child, not to mention being loyal to the monarch and the country, he also cares extremely about etiquette and etiquette on weekdays, not like a thorn in charge of the army, but like a Confucian scholar.
After receiving the scholar's reply, Zhang Yang confirmed the content of the report for the last time and then respectfully walked into the study......
"In the history of the assassination, there are no disasters in the cities of the state today, the taxes are normal, and the money and food are not hindered...... The thieves who had made a rebellion in the northern part of the state the day before yesterday have been eliminated, and the captain Lu Buzheng is leading his troops back to the camp, and his forehead is ......"
Zhang Yang paused slightly, thinking to himself, it seems that Lu Bu also reported a request to change his name, as if it was some kind of unparalleled army in the world or something, Zhang Yang frowned, this name was heard by Ding Yuan The young man named Lu Bu will definitely not be pleased, but he has already reported it and he can't hide it, forget it, anyway, it's just a few small captains, what does it have to do with me? Report it truthfully.
"Uh...... The lieutenant also wanted to apply for a change of title for his subordinates, and reported it for approval. Zhang Yang said carefully.
"Oh?" Ding Yuan raised his eyebrows, "What's the reason?" ”
Zhang Yang looked up at Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan, who was over fifty years old, was a little depleted, and he was originally a strong son, but now his body is also a little thin, and the wrinkles on his face are a lot more than when Zhang Yang just served under Ding Yuan, his hair is gray, and his beard is gray, but his majesty is even more powerful.
"As mentioned in the article, Lu Bu led 2,000 soldiers to divide into three routes, surrendered nearly 7,000 horse thieves in three places, and the casualties were only 500. Zhang Yang dictated the main points in the text, and he also felt some emotion in his heart for such a feat, less than half a month after sending troops, he was able to subdue 7,000 horse thieves, and the casualties were only more than 400 people......
"Good!" Ding Yuan was overjoyed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a hero under my Ding Jianyang's account!" What is the name? ”
Zhang Yang opened his mouth hesitantly: "There is no unparalleled army in the world." ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yang immediately noticed that the atmosphere was gradually solidifying, and Ding Yuan's smiling face instantly turned into an angry face, "What name do you say he wants to take?" ”
Zhang Yang wiped a few drops of sweat from his face and said, "...... There is no equal"
"Bang!"
"Presumptuous!" Ding Yuan slammed the table and stood up, "Unparalleled in the world? Who gave him the guts? Is there a Han family in his eyes, and this kind of title is something he can take if he can say it? Whose world is the world? Who has the final say? Emperor! Little Lu Bu also dares to look at the dynasty? ”
When Zhang Yang heard this, he was busy shouting, this Lu Bu was afraid that he would be punished. At the same time, leading the troops and generals, although Zhang Yang did not agree with Lu Bu's approach, it was still understandable, but he was young and crazy, if he was punished for this, he hurriedly spoke: "Ming Gong is angry, this Lu Bu has no contempt for the Son of Heaven, but he is from a dull background and does not know how to cover it, and he still wants to be observant." ”
Ding Yuan turned around and sat down, "Born stupid? What is this Lu Bu's family background? ”
"Hui Ming Gong, Lu Bunai is a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, and his father is a Huns, and he has been playing with the shepherds since he was a child, so he doesn't understand etiquette, so don't blame him."
It's okay not to mention this life experience, as soon as Ding Yuan heard that Lu Bu was the son of the Huns, he immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, if it's not my race, its heart will be easy!" ”
"This ......" Zhang Yang didn't expect it to help him.
A few days later, Lu Bu and his entourage returned to Jinyang, settled the soldiers and horses, wrote a war report, and the three people who had no task quickly resumed their normal amusement life, and came to the restaurant in Jinyang City to ask for a few dishes and two jars of good wine.
"Eh, Xiaobu, how did you say that Ding Yuanhui rewarded you this time, I guess I have to be promoted to general directly, right? Hehe, it's time for a salary increase. Gao Shun imagined with a wistful look on his face the days after Lu Bu got more Yulu.
"Go and go, see what you have to say. People who have been in their forties for two lifetimes combined, know about salary increases all day long. Lu Bu picked up a bowl of wine and looked at Gao Shun with disdain.
"That's it, don't be like a silk carver." Zhang Liao cut off a piece of meat and echoed, "Eh, but this is a rare big victory, Ding Yuan doesn't care if he is promoted or not, our reputation in Bingzhou can be played, if it develops according to normal history in the future, Ding Yuan will definitely bring you to the chaos of the Ten Standing Servants, and you will officially appear on the stage of the world!" Zhang Liao added excitedly.
Lu Bu listened, just agreed and stopped talking, thinking of the battlefield he would face in the future, the peerless generals and princes, his heart was inevitably full of passion, and he secretly clenched his fists: "Is it the stage of the world?" Wait for me to play! ”
Lu Bu understands that he who has only exterminated a few thieves is far from reaching the height of being able to look down on the heroes of the world, but it doesn't matter, there is still a lot of time, and the competition with other military generals in Bingzhou on weekdays makes him grow, and Bingzhou will not lack wars, and he will become the god of war who stands alone in the world sooner or later.
The next morning, Ding Yuan and many civil ministers and military generals of the prefecture gathered in the chamber for a regular meeting, and Ding Yuan would reward the officials of the whole prefecture after the regular meeting, including Lu Bu and the three of them, who were arranged to wait in the side hall.
Lu Bu looked around, Ding Yuan has always been upright, so his official residence is by no means luxurious, but Ding Yuan will never allow the official residence to be sluggish, because it will lose the face of the Han, so the furnishings and arrangements in every place are very elegant, and you can feel a kind of simplicity and solemnity when you look closely.
Before the contact with Ding Yuan was mostly in the barracks, Ding Yuan inspected the barracks on schedule and lectured the soldiers, at that time Ding Yuan ordered the whole army on the high platform, and Lu Bu could only lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to stand and receive training, today is the first time to come back to Ding Yuan's official residence, thinking that he is about to enter Ding Yuan's sight, and is no longer a small captain who is struggling at the bottom, looking back on the course of the past three years is still a little emotional.
"Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, please assassinate the history." After waiting for about an hour, the regular meeting ended, and a guard came and invited the three of them to the council chamber.
Lu Bu and the three of them entered the hall with respectful expressions, Ding Yuan sat in the first seat facing the door of the hall, and the civil and military officials knelt in two rows. The first from the right is Zhang Yang, looking at Lu Bu and the three of them with a somewhat strange expression, and then Wei Xu, through several years of hard work, Wei Xu has also become a general under Ding Yuan, participating in large and small affairs.
"Lu Bu (Zhang Liao Gaoshun) visits Ding Thorn Shi." All three of them stepped forward at the same time to salute.
"Well," Ding Yuan waved his hand in response, "A few days ago, you and others had a meritorious role in begging for thieves, and even more so with a complete victory, and my great man was majestic and talented, and now I will reward the three of you." I also hope that you will work hard. After speaking, he motioned to the guards on the side and began to read the rewards of the three.
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have meritorious service in killing thieves, and they have been awarded a hundred gold, five fine satin, and the camp under their jurisdiction and the lone wolf cavalry sergeant will be rewarded with a salary of one month, and eighty altars of fine wine."
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other happily and smiled, now it's okay, they have finally been promoted from the bottom to the middle generals, and they will only get stronger and stronger in the future, until the moment when they become famous all over the world.
"Lu Bu, young and promising, brave and brave, and this military exploit, if you train more, you will definitely become the pillar of our state army."
It's my turn, Lu Bu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"The bounty is 500, the brocade is 5 horses, the wine is 100 jars, and the soldiers under their jurisdiction will be rewarded for two months......"
"Seal the main book of the march, and go to General Zhang Yang to serve in three days."
Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard this: "Master book!" Civil service? ”
