Chapter 138 A Thousand Dollars Buy Horse Bones

Jin Chan and Wang Tan led their armies across the Yellow River by boat and headed for their destinations. There are no advertisements and they go fast, but there is one news that spreads faster, that is, Wang Tan returned to the imperial court and was promoted to deputy general.

Overnight, there were already a lot of rogues around the Yellow River who had heard about it, and everyone was skeptical about it, after all, Wang Tan was not a big leader, and he didn't have many soldiers under him, and he didn't have any merit, so why did the court promote him to a deputy general.

However, reality speaks louder than words, because Wang Tan's destination is Luoning, so he landed near Mianchi County, and according to the plan, he first broke through Mianchi and then attacked Luoning.

As soon as they heard that the official army had landed nearby, they immediately gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses to block the attack, and on the other hand, they had to send people to find out who the chief of the official army was.

The result was good, and it was soon learned that the chief general of the official army was Wang Tan, and the official army could have 10,000 people. The whole king is confused, where did Wang Tan get 10,000 people to surrender to the court, and more importantly, Tanma also reported that Wang Tan's 10,000 horses are obviously banner, neatly equipped, and extremely qualified.

With a puzzled mood, Wang Tan's troops set up a posture on the ground in Xisili, Mianchi County, and his troops had no military discipline or military appearance at all, and they stood in a disorderly manner, that is, the young ones were in front and the old ones were behind.

Soon, the officers and soldiers slowly rushed to this side, the officers and soldiers were divided into three armies on the left, the middle and the right, and three thousand each on the left and right, respectively, commanded by Li Haoran and Li Haoquan brothers, and the Chinese army was four thousand.

The three armies lined up in formation, it was not ordinary neat and well-organized, and the armor was obvious, which made people stunned when they saw it. The main force is the main force, which is different from the ordinary shrimp crab roe cover, and it is daunting.

The king of the whole world beat a drum in his heart, and secretly asked: "Could this be Wang Tan's troops, is it unlikely?" When did this kid have such a skill? ”

Don't look at Wang Tan is not a big leader, he is also the number one under Cao Cao Luo Rucai, everyone belongs to the same Liukou, or the alliance, how can you not hear of his name.

At this time, the king of the whole world saw that in the formation of the opponent's army, there was a person who jumped on a horse and ran out with a knife, this person rode a horse to draw a circle in the front army, and saw that the posture was very majestic, and then he heard this person say loudly: "This general is the vanguard Wang Tan under the account of the marshal Yue of the imperial court, and you are waiting for the rats, don't hurry up and get off the horse and surrender, otherwise Hugh blames the general for being ruthless under the sword!" ”

Seeing that this guy was very arrogant, the king of the whole world looked carefully, and the person in front of him was a big green horse, wearing chain mail, a red cloak, and a bronze helmet, which was very majestic.

So, he rushed forward with a gun and shouted: "Wuna Wang Tan, do you know the whole world Grandpa Wang?" ”

"Hahahaha...... The person who crossed the horse and raised the sword on the opposite side was Wang Tan, he laughed triumphantly, and said loudly: "The king of the whole world, you and I are old acquaintances, I didn't expect to meet here today!" ”

As he spoke, he took two more steps forward, and the king of the whole world also took two steps forward, getting closer, and after looking at it again, he immediately recognized it, isn't this the Wang Tan under Luo Rucai.

Sure that it was Wang Tan, the king of the whole world couldn't help but become more and more confused, and then asked: "Wang Tan, you are just a general under Luo Rucai, where did you get so many soldiers and horses to return to the imperial court?" ”

"These soldiers and horses are all from the imperial court, and the general only led 500 people to defect, Yue Dashuai has a good eye, and knows that I am a hero in the world, so he was exceptionally promoted, promoted me to deputy general, and awarded the post of pioneer of the former army, and commanded 10,000 troops here!" Wang Tan said triumphantly.

"Ah......" As soon as he heard this, the king of the whole world immediately became stupid, and took five hundred people to surrender to the court, and the court could give a deputy general, and this deputy would inevitably be too easy in the future. But the current situation couldn't help but make him not believe it, Wang Tan was showing off his might in front of him, and 10,000 horses were also in front of him.

This whole king also has the intention to return to the imperial court, and borrowed grain from Li Zicheng at the beginning, the purpose was to test Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng did not give him the 10,000 stone grain he requested, but gave 2,000, saying that the follow-up grain and grass would slowly send him, and let him lead the army to Tongguan to help in the war. Two thousand men and horses want to send themselves, how can it be so easy, the king of the whole world has no idea of sending troops at all, just at this time, there is news that Cao Cao Luo Ru is planning to surrender, although the possibility of fraudulent surrender is very high, but he also wants to see what the court means, and then take an idea. At the moment, Luo Rucai doesn't know how, the deception should be obvious, but the imperial court actually named Wang Tan under Luo Rucai as a deputy general, and allocated 10,000 horses to him for command. Just a Wang Tan, with 500 people to surrender to the court, can give a deputy general, and also allocate 10,000 horses, if I return to the court, it is estimated that at least I can give a general soldier or something. It doesn't matter whether the soldiers and horses are allocated or not, Lao Tzu has more than 20,000 people, and he has returned to the imperial court, that is, the official army, and he and his brothers will also be settled in the future. Even if it really makes him the climate and wins the world, what good can it do to himself.

Thinking of this, the king of the whole world couldn't help but say loudly: "Wang Tan, this king doesn't want to do anything with you, to tell the truth, this king actually has the heart to submit to the court, so let's do it, please be a guide, tell Lord Yue about this king's thoughts, if the quasi-king is recruited by the court, this king will give you 10,000 taels of silver, what do you think?" ”

"Ten thousand taels!" Hearing this benefit, Wang Tan was inevitably moved, and more importantly, he could subdue Wang Tan without fighting, which was also a great achievement, since this is the case, why fight again?

Wang Tan nodded and said, "Okay! You and I are brothers, since you have the heart to return to Dashuai Yue, why is it difficult for me to be a leader. In this way, you and I will each quit the army first, and then you write a letter, and I will transfer it to the marshal on your behalf, and see if the marshal is approved, what do you think? ”

"Then there's the old brother!"

At that moment, the two families dismissed the army, and the king led the army back to Michi to write a letter, and Wang Tan's army set up camp on the spot. Soon, the letter of the whole king was delivered, along with three thousand taels of silver, which could be regarded as an advance payment. Wang Tan was very happy and ordered the letter to be sent to Yue Su's camp.

When the letter was delivered, Yue Su couldn't help but laugh when he read it. Then the letter was circulated to the generals, and after the generals read it, Guo Zhen stood up, bowed down and said: "Lord Yue is really smart, the last general is now served, your trick is called a thousand gold to buy horse bones, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Liukou in Henan will surrender." It's just that there is one thing that I don't quite understand at the end, so please guide the commander. ”

"Say something." Yue Su said with a light smile.

"The last general thought that since the surrender of this whole king, there are still many rogues who have surrendered continuously, even Wang Tan and the adults have given a deputy general, so what kind of official position do the others want to give. After the war in the future, how will the court settle so many generals who recruit peace? ”

"This matter is easy to do, Ben Shuai has already made a decision, don't worry, sir, let's deal with the problem of the rogue first, as for the rest, it doesn't matter at the moment." Yue Su said with a light smile.

"What my lord said is that now we still have to deal with the rogue first." Guo Zhen nodded and said.

"Wait a minute, I will write a letter to the whole king, confer on him the post of commander-in-chief, and invite him to the camp to seal it. As for Wang Tan, there must also be a reward, and if you look at it, give him a captain of Zhaoxin. Yue Su said flatly.

"Ah......h

I heard that Yue Su wanted to crown Wang Tan as "Zhaoxin Captain", and the mouths of all the generals in the tent were all open. Captain Zhaoxin is a military general of the sixth grade, but it is hereditary, which means that Wang Tan got a long-term meal ticket for the Ming Dynasty. The generals in the tent, although many of them are hereditary generals, but they are all fought by the ancestors from one to the other, but Wang Tan, the official, is too easy, he didn't see anything, so he gave a Zhaoxin captain, even if it was a thousand gold to buy horse bones, didn't this have the whole king come to surrender, and he can reward Wang Tan with a hereditary official position?

However, the official position of deputy general, you Lord Yue will give it with a word, but the hereditary official position must be reported to the court, approved by the courtiers, and ordered by the emperor.

These people were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but they still didn't say it after all, after all, Lord Yue was too strong, so let's wait for the court to decide.

In fact, Lord Yue also knew that it seemed a bit too much to give Wang Tan a Zhaoxin lieutenant, but now, if you want these rogues to sincerely serve the court and reduce the casualties of the official army, you have to use such a method, otherwise, the main force of the court is bound to lose a lot, and there are Jurchens outside the gate, once they lose, it will be too unfavorable for the country. A mere six-grade hereditary, a few pieces of silver a year, it can be said that the silver left over from a Fu King is enough to support thousands of such officials. Isn't it just thirteen families and seventy-two battalions, and they will not all give hereditary official positions, no matter how they are calculated, the court will earn it.

Subsequently, Yue Su wrote a letter and an official letter and asked for someone to send it to Wang Tan's camp. The letter is to the whole king, and the letter is to the king. Then, he wrote another letter and sent it to the imperial court, to put it bluntly, he asked Wang Tan to be the captain of Zhaoxin.

Soon, the letter and the official letter were sent to Wang Tan's camp, Wang Tan opened the official letter and looked at it, the content on it was very simple, at the beginning Yue Su praised and encouraged him, and then he had already been on the book, to ensure that he was the captain of Zhaoxin. Afraid that he didn't know what the name of this official was, Yue Su also briefly introduced two sentences, and in the end, let him continue to work hard and serve the imperial court.

After reading the official letter, Wang Tan was very excited and grateful to Yue Su after being happy. I didn't expect that I was just an ordinary ordinary person, living a precarious life, but today, I actually won a hereditary official position. For a small person like him, a six-grade Zhaoxin lieutenant is like a gold ingot falling from the world, and there is nothing to be satisfied with. So, he decided to serve the court with all his might.
