Chapter 697 High-ranking officials are Houlu

(Thanks to 774488 for the tip!) )

A flag officer of the Thunder Battalion raised his head with his chest straight, strode up to the high city gate, and planted the black military flag in his hand on the high tiger prison shut.

The firelight is swaying, the flag is hunting, and the city head changes the king's flag.

Before the first ditch in front of the pass, Huang Junhan took Niu Jin to five people, accompanied by Qin Qiong, and greeted each other undulatingly, waiting for Chen Kefu's arrival.

"The last general and others welcome His Royal Highness King Chen!"

Chen Kefu had just received Qin Qiong's quick horse report, and knew that Niu Jinda and other five Li Mi henchmen in the pass had led 10,000 defenders in the pass to defect under the coercion of Huang Junhan. Although there are still some doubts about whether these five people are sincere or forced, Chen Kefu doesn't care too much about these.

Being able to take the Tiger Prison Fortress without blood, for him, this is already the best news. Especially after seeing this brand-new Tiger Prison Fortress, Chen Kefu knew very well in his heart that it was not as simple as expected to storm this fortress that Li Mi had spent his blood to build.

Niu Jinda and the other five people are just a few small people, so there is nothing to worry about. What made him happy was that this strong fortress fell into his hands, and even happier was that the surrender of Huang Junhan, the general of Wei, was not an isolated matter. This has already shown that Wei is still full of internal contradictions. Since Huang Junhan can surrender, then generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, who are also Wagang generals, may also abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

Chen Kefu jumped off the horse, laughed and stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hands to help Huang Junhan up, "General Huang, don't give such a big salute, but kill me." Speaking of which, when I took refuge in Wagang, I still called General Huang the fourth brother. And now that I am married Jiaojiao, I have to call General Huang Uncle Huang. Now General Huang understands the righteousness again, abandons the dark and turns to the light, and dedicates such a majestic tiger to the imperial court, which is a miracle. How did I become such a great gift to General Huang, it should be that I want to thank Uncle Huang a lot. ”

Huang Junhan is less than forty years old, that is, thirty-five or sixteen years old, and he is called by Chen Kefu's uncle. It's just that now Chen Kefu is a hero, and he is just a general, how dare he be.

"King Chen's words are too much, you are a hero in the world, and the last general only hates not being able to vote early. The last general came to vote today, and he had nothing else to ask for in his heart, but hoped that King Chen could treat Jiaojiao well for the sake of Zhai Lao's master. Second, I also hope that King Chen can be kind to his subordinate brothers who defected to His Highness today. Finally, there is another request, the last general hopes that when he faces off with Li Mi in front of the battle, King Chen can let the last general personally go out and slash Li Mi, a shameless thief. ”

Chen Kefu took Huang Junhan's hand and nodded again and again, he could feel the anger in the heart of this tough guy, and he also understood the brotherhood between Huang Junhan and Zhai Rang. nodded without hesitation at the moment, "Li Mi is ungrateful, and everyone will be punished." This king swears here today that the three requirements put forward by General Huang today will be kept in mind and abided by at all times. General Huang, Jiaojiao is behind, you haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

Huang Junhan was relieved to hear that Chen Kefu readily agreed to his request. Letting go of the tension in his heart, he smiled, "Yes, when Jiaojiao took King Chen back to Wagang, who would have thought that you were Chen Dashuai who crisscrossed Liaodong and destroyed Goguryeo." At that time, I only thought you were extraordinary, but I didn't expect that you were Chen Dashuai, and I didn't expect that now you are even more King Chen. ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Chen Kefu deliberately ignored Niu Jinda, who had been kneeling on the ground, until Zhai Jiaojiao arrived from behind, Chen Kefu seemed to have just seen these five people.

"Aren't these five generals Niu Jinda, Xi Wei, Yang Qian'an, Li Junyi and Dou Luda, who resolutely defected to the front today?" …,

Niu Jinda and the five of them knelt on the ground for a long time, but they didn't dare to take a breath. Although the switch surrendered, everyone knew that surrender was not their intention. In case Chen Kefu turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, then they had no other way except for the two places on their heads.

"The sin general admired King Chen's prestige as soon as possible, but he had never had the opportunity to meet King Chen in the past. Today, General Huang reminded him that the small one could have the opportunity to join the command of King Chen, and he was really fortunate to have three lives, and he was grateful. The last general and other generals were criminal generals, who were originally just a small colonel, and now they dare not call themselves generals in front of King Chen. Today, since it is returned to King Chen, the little ones are willing to be the pawn of King Chen, and charge into battle for King Chen, although they will not give up, in addition to this, they dare not have other extravagance! ”

The five of them knelt on the ground, their faces pressed to the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, they were honestly afraid.

Chen Kefu smiled slightly, he already knew a little about the information of Niu Jinda's five people. In troubled times, there are countless characters like Niu Jinda. These people have no loyalty, some of them just have milk and motherhood. In the troubled times, it is more like a weed that falls with the wind.

However, although this kind of person is not trustworthy, sometimes he still has the value of use. Chen Kefu deliberately exposed them for a while just now, but he didn't want them to be too proud. He wanted them to know that even if they took refuge in him, they had to remember who they were. If they are obedient, he can use them and give them wealth and power, but if they dare to mess around, then there will be no good results.

However, Niu Jinda and the five people are all smart people, he just exposed them for a while, and they immediately corrected their mentality. This makes Chen Kefu very satisfied, a smart person is better than a tendon.

After a pause, Chen Ke replied, "Up and down in the Tiger Prison Pass, they are all meritorious ministers, and this king has always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment must be punished for mistakes." How can this king not be rewarded for your great achievements today? Passed on to the royal decree, General Huang Junhan was awarded the title of the champion of the third rank of the general Wu San, from the second rank of the Lord of the Pillar Kingdom. And awarded the actual post of Tiger Ben Wei from the three products of the Tiger Ben general, and added the title of Marquis Bishui, a bounty of 3,000 coins, 10,000 silver coins, and 5,000 acres of land in Weizhou. ”

For the first general under Li Mi of Wei who surrendered, Chen Kefu can be said to have made a bloody investment. Huang Junhan's ability is indeed extraordinary, in terms of ability, he can be above Qin Qiong and other young generals, and around generals like Lu Shixiong, he can be called a fierce general. However, if he only takes the credit for surrendering to the Tiger Prison, he can't get such a big reward.

However, there is a way to buy horse bones, Chen Kefu is not satisfied with a Huang Junhan, he also hopes to let Wei and other powerful subordinates of all parties see that he Chen Kefu is eager to seek talents, and he Chen Kefu is generous and bold. As long as he is willing to vote for Chen Kefu, he is willing to give them back the wealth of high-ranking officials and rewards.

But even so, when Chen Kefu said the reward for Huang Junhan in one breath, there was still a sound of inhalation in the darkness. This reward is too generous.

Although Hebei's official titles were changed to the Yuan Republic, there were some adjustments. But so far, the imperial court has only crowned a total of five princes and fifteen county dukes. Commanders such as Lu Shishen and Li Jing are just the actual positions of Zheng Sanpin, the title of the Duke of the county. Now as soon as Huang Junhan defected, he immediately got a marquis knight of the third grade, a martial artist of the third grade, a lord from the second rank, a practical general from the third rank, and a large amount of land and money, how can this not make people exclaim.

A general in the army like Qin Qiong, a confidant of King Chen, is still just a protector of the country, General Huben. Huang Junhan has just surrendered for less than half a day, and he has already received such a generous reward, which is indeed amazing.

"King Chen, the last general will return, there is really no merit, how can he dare to receive such a reward. He also asked King Chen to be considerate of his subordinates and take back the king's order. Huang Junhan was also taken aback by the reward. He knew very well in his heart the weight of this reward, if he really accepted it with a big grin, not only might King Chen look down on him in his heart, but even attract the hostility and rejection of those civil and military generals in the Hebei army, and it would be difficult to live in the future. …,

"No!" Chen Kefu waved his hand, "This king's order has been issued, how can he take it back." General Huang fully deserves this reward, and if General Huang feels that it is a little rich, then General Huang can make new contributions to me in the future. ”

"But"

"General Huang doesn't need to say it again, this is the reward you deserve, let's hurry up and thank you!" Feng Wan on the side also admired Chen Kefu's boldness in her heart, and then smiled and came forward to persuade her. She understood the intention behind Chen Kefu's actions, so she didn't want Huang Junhan to refuse again.

After Huang Junhan thanked him with some trepidation, Chen Kefu stepped forward and pulled Niu Jinda and the other five people up from the ground.

"This time the five are also very credited, and this king will not treat you badly. You were originally a school captain, but now that you are under the command of this king, then this king will grant you and others the title of general from the five-rank eagle strike, and each of you will be crowned with the title of viscount of the fifth grade. and each rewarded 3,000 silver coins, and Weizhou gave 1,000 acres of land each. In addition, all other former officers in the Tiger Prison Pass will be upgraded by one level and rewarded with 100 silver coins. All ordinary soldiers were rewarded with one gold coin and ten silver coins. ”

Niu Jinda waited for a long time, and finally heard his reward, from the eagle strike Lang General of the fifth grade, the viscount of the fifth grade, and a thousand acres of fiefdom, three thousand silver coins. Although this reward is completely incomparable to Huang Junhan, compared to their fear just now, it surprised them inexplicably.

originally thought that it would be good to escape a life, but I didn't expect that I could become a general, get a title, and fief money. At the moment, he was satisfied, and kept kowtowing on the ground to thank him.

The heralds in the Hebei army galloped on their horses, and shouted Chen Kefu's reward order back and forth to all the tiger prison defenders who lined up outside the city to welcome the Hebei army. Originally, he left all his weapons in the city, and was asked to go out of the city with his bare hands to meet King Chen's 10,000 tiger prison Wei army, and he was in a worried mood and did not know his future fate. At this time, when I heard that there was not only nothing to worry about, but also a rich reward, the officers were promoted and made rich, even the soldiers were also rewarded with a gold coin and ten silver coins.
