Chapter 253: "Assigning" Battle Exploits

Ningyuan Wei General Military Mansion.

In the banquet room, a singer was playing and singing "The Peony Pavilion", but there were four people at the banquet, and I am afraid that no one was listening.

Everyone pretended to be immersed in the music, but in fact, they had their own hearts.

Zhang Li smiled and looked at the singer, his right hand tapping lightly on the tabletop, as if he was singing and harmonizing to the beat.

He entered the Ningyuan Acropolis in the afternoon, and the chief soldier Zu Zepu also personally went out of the city to greet him, and at that time he also put on a look of hating to see each other.

Soon he was invited by him to the General Soldier's Mansion, and the ancestor said that he was holding a banquet to celebrate his achievements.

The three in front of him are all important figures in Ning Yuan City.

Zhang Li glanced at Dai Jian, the official position of the second ancestor was the governor of Guangning, and the commander of Ningyuan's military affairs.

Because the focus of the battlefield outside the Guanxi is now in Guangning, and Zu Dashou's heavy troops are also deployed on the front line of Guangning, so the governor of Guangning can also manage Ningyuan.

Dai Jian looked at himself with hostility, and Zhang Li smiled coldly in his heart: Self-inflicted, can't live. In the future, there will be time to slowly clean you up, and now you are not in the number of young masters.

Zhang Zhang glanced at Ningyuan's eunuch Zhao Gonggong with his spare eyes, and saw Zhao Gonggong looking at him with a smile on his face, as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Zhang Zhang secretly added a little caution in his heart, this Zhao Gonggong is probably a master, and he has to deal with it carefully.

Dai Jian's kind of second-class goods who are happy to look at each other, if it weren't for the fact that his Lao Tzu is a servant of the ministry, it is estimated that the bones and slag have been gnawed away.

At the end of the song, Zhao Gonggong took the lead in applauding: "Okay, sing well, reward!" β€˜

Immediately, a servant came up. He rewarded the singer who sang the song with a small ingot of silver.

The singer immediately thanked her, and Zhao Gonggong waved her hand. And she went down with a sense of humor.

Gonggong Zhao looked at Zhang Zhang with a smile and pulled up the male duck's throat: "Master Zhang is young and promising. He is really a pillar of the country! β€˜

As soon as Zu Zepu heard Zhao's words, he immediately echoed and said, "Tsk, Lord Zhang didn't have much time to train his troops, and he was able to achieve such a great victory, which really embarrassed the last generalβ€”β€”'

Dai Jian's face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

After Gonggong Zhao gave him a look, Dai Jiancai said reluctantly: "Master Zhang is fierce and fierce, and he is fierceβ€”"

Zhang Li glanced at everyone, and his face was full of smiles: "Your Excellency, you have tormented your own officials. β€˜

Dai Jian heard this. I don't have a lot of anger in my heart - the tension is just a soldier, and he doesn't call 'lower official' in front of him, but 'this official'?!

Gonggong Zhao didn't care, glanced at Zhang Zhang meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, the battle exploits you reported said that you won one hundred and sixty heads from the north and seven heads from the east, which really makes our family a little embarrassed!" β€˜

Zhang Li's eyes narrowed. didn't answer, waiting for Zhao Gonggong to continue.

Sure enough, Zhao Gonggong saw that Zhang Zhang didn't answer, so he had to cough dryly: "Lord Zhang." This time, it is better to take 60 heads from the north and 4 from the east. If you report too much, you have to review it above! If it's according to the number of our families. You'll be safe! β€˜

Zhang Li sneered in his heart, it turned out that Zhao Gonggong thought that he was lying about his military exploits.

Since he said that he had reported sixty heads to the north. There are four Jiannu, presumably he thinks that Young Master Ben has cut down a dozen or twenty northern captives at most. Build a slave or two!

Zhang Li's brows furrowed, and he thought for a moment, revealing a dissatisfied look: "Isn't this too small?" β€˜

'That's a lot! Zhao Gonggong looked unhappy, "Your battle report has to be changed, and the field battle has been changed to defending the city." If you can win the head of the Tartar in the field, who will believe it? β€˜

After a pause, Zhao Gonggong said again: "It is estimated that the heads captured by Lord Zhang are all old people and children of Tartars, this is not difficult to do, anyway, the official said that they are soldiers, and they are soldiers." β€˜

Zhang Li's face was covered with black lines: 'Hehe-'

Zhang Zhang has already made up his mind in his heart, anyway, there are people in the staff department of the military department and the meritorious department of the official department, hum!

However, it is impossible to say these words in person, and after Zhang Li smiled slightly, he seemed to agree with Zhao Gonggong's statement.

The matter of the first inspection was within the power of the eunuchs, so neither Zu Zepu nor Dai Jian spoke.

Seeing that Zhang Zhang acquiesced in this matter, Zhao Gonggong couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "If Lord Zhang has no objection, the number of heads will be so decided." Let's talk about the distribution-'

Zhang Zhang chuckled in his heart, distribution?

Gonggong Zhao glanced at Zhang Zhang meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang's battle exploit report is too brief, and we need to improve it." β€˜

Gonggong Zhao cleared his throat and continued: "This time, the eastern and northern captives jointly attacked the Ningyuan Acropolis, and our family worked hard to personally sit at the head of the city and command...... Ahem, Master Dai is also by our side - well, of course there is also Master Zhang. The battle was over, let the scribes ponder, and finally under the wise leadership of the three of us, the general army of Zu repelled the Tartars, and the capture was the one just mentioned......

Zhang Li's face changed color all of a sudden, but Zhao Gonggong was talking energetically, and he didn't know it.

"We have one for each of the Jiannu heads, our family and Governor Dai for each of the Beiyu heads, and ten for Master Zhang and the Zu General Soldiers, well, that's it-'

Zhang Li's face turned pale, and he looked coldly at Zhao Gonggong, who was spitting and flying around.

Zhang Zhang sneered in his heart: Everything else is easy to say, but this one can't work! If this official agrees, will the more than 400 soldiers who died in the shallow water beach agree?!

No matter what unspoken rules there are for the Ming border army to report their merits, Lao Tzu doesn't recognize it!

Before Zhao Gonggong finished speaking, he only heard a sound of 'huh-', and Zhang Zhang threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground and smashed it, and strode out of the banquet hall without looking back......

Gonggong Zhao was completely stunned by the sudden change, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time of incense, Mr. Zu was the first to speak: "Gonggong Zhao, it seems that Master Zhang is not satisfied that he only has ten heads!" But this Lord Zhang is really, is there such an official? If you are not satisfied, you can discuss again! β€˜

Dai Jian also reacted, and he also slammed the wine glass on the ground with a 'bang', and two words popped out of his mouth: 'Bahu! β€˜

Zhao Gonggong's face was blue and white for a while, and after a long time, he returned to his normal color, and said coldly: "Gonggong said to be careful of this, it seems that it is really right, our family is underestimating him!" Zu Zongbing! β€˜

'The end will be! β€˜

'Come here, we'll tell you-'

……

The two of them followed Zhang Zhang into the Ningyuan Acropolis.

Lord Zhang's safety in the city should not be a problem, after all, the official position is there, but the road from this mountain fort to the Ningyuan Acropolis is not necessarily.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do all the way, so after Lord Zhang entered the General Military Mansion for a banquet, the guards were allowed to go to the Acropolis to buy something.

After all, the trade route of Tuanshan Fort was blocked, and the soldiers could not buy anything even if they had silver.

Mu first took the pimple to the pharmacy and opened a few dog skin plasters for bruises, which were brought back for the big cow lying on the bed to recuperate.

Although there are people from the military medical team who treat Da Niu's injuries, but Mu is still a little worried, buy more plasters and go back to apply them, maybe Da Niu will get better faster.

As soon as he came out of the pharmacy, Mu suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Not far in front of him, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young lady dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but very handsome, was walking towards him with her head bowed.

Wood's heart fluttered, and the whole person froze completely.

'Brother Wood, what's wrong?' The money has been paid, let's go! The pimple paid and walked out of the pharmacy, only to find the wood standing dumbfounded.

'Huh? The pimple was a little surprised, and looked at the wood's gaze: "Ah, little lady Qi! β€˜

The pimple exclaimed, and the little lady Qi who was walking with her head down obviously heard it, and when she looked up and found the wood, her little face immediately turned red.

The pimple smiled and flashed to the side with interest.

Mu was a little at a loss, but the little lady Qi stepped forward in small steps: "Mu, I haven't seen you recently. I went to the barracks a few days ago to inquire, and they said that you went to Tuanshan Fort with Master Bingbeidao. β€˜

Wood's face burned hotly, and he stammered, 'Well, that'...... I was in a hurry that day, come and ...... Too late to tell you. β€˜

Although Qi Xiaoniang was born in a small family, she also has her own fun, and she is much more extroverted than the average girl from a large family.

Little Lady Qi glanced at the plaster on the wooden hand, frowned, and said, "What's the matter, it's injured?" β€˜

Wood quickly shook his head like a rattle: 'No...... No! β€˜

Little Lady Qi pursed her mouth, took out a corner of broken silver from her waist, handed it to the wood, and whispered: "You go buy something to eat, eat that black-flour bun all day long, how can the injury be healed?" β€˜

Wood said incoherently: 'No, I didn't eat...... Black flour buns, white ...... White rice! β€˜

Little Lady Qi snorted and laughed, and stuffed the silver into the wooden hand: "I'll let you take it, you didn't deceive people before, why is this now?" β€˜

Mu's face turned even redder, and he suddenly took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to the little lady Qi: "This is my military salary and silver reward for this month, all for you!" β€˜

'Huh? β€”β€”'The little lady Qi exclaimed, opened her mouth wide, and looked at the wood incredulously.

Mu suddenly straightened his waist a little, and said proudly: "Our regimental mountain army's monthly salary is paid in full!" You can take it and buy something delicious for your father! β€˜

Before the little lady Qi could react, Mu Tou was afraid that she wouldn't want the silver, so she ran away as if she was running away after giving it to her.

'You wait for me, I will beat the gong and drum to marry you in the future!' β€˜

Listening to this sentence floating in the wind, Qi Xiaoniang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and thought about it.

How can it be?

How is it possible for wood to get so much military pay?

Did he steal it? Robbed?

No, no, although Mu has a more flexible brain, I still trust him in character!

No, I have to ask him where he got all this money, although my family is small, but it is also a white family!

Little Lady Qi couldn't help but look up, but where could she still see the shadow of the wood? (To be continued......)
