Baili Wuji beckoned gently, and the free eunuch went over and led the four of them to the front.

Ding Sijin knelt down skillfully and saluted Baili Wuji: "The criminal ministers pay homage to our emperor." ”

Although Jiang Yansi and the three of them got the guidance of the eunuch before going to the palace, they were a little stupid at this time, Jiang Yansi and Zhu Guichao were all scholars, and they were stunned and realized that they should learn Ding Sijin to salute the emperor.

But Zhu Guilin was a reckless man, and he was so stunned that he was busy clasping his fists and saying to Baili Wuji: "I have seen the emperor." ”

This move caused a burst of laughter from the officials in the court, and also made Baili Wuji laugh.

Baili Wuji waved his hand and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

"Commander Ding Du, tell me about the situation of this battle."

After this battle, Ding Sijin has been entangled in his heart, this battle lost more than eighty percent of his Fourth Army, although in the end with Yang Ye's division and Chen Yanzheng's division won the victory, but Ding Sijin could not extricate himself from this defeat.

"The criminal minister is incompetent, affecting the three armies, I hope Your Majesty will punish the crime." Before Ding Siji's words came out, he choked with tears.

"I don't hold me accountable today, I only talk about meritorious deeds." Baili Wuji's heart is no less uncomfortable than Ding Siji, the Fourth Army is one of the troops he started, in terms of feelings, no one is deeper than him, but at the moment of the great enemy, he can't hurt the hearts of the surviving soldiers of the Fourth Army because of this. As Baili Wuji said, today is only about merit.

Ding Sijin took a deep breath and described in detail how the Fourth Army was ordered to go north, how it was suddenly surrounded by 60,000 Liao troops outside Shengzhou City, how it sent Jiang Yansi's troops to break through the siege and ask for help, how it fell into the situation of annihilation of the whole army, and how it was rescued by Yang Ye and Chen Yanzheng.

Although Baili Wuji has already received the battle report. But this is the first time I have heard of the process, so I listened very carefully, and the hundred officials in the court are even more immersive. Sigh for what happened to the Fourth Army.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, he was wrongly loved by the emperor, and he handed over the fourth army to the minister, but he didn't want to, in less than two years, he was lost in the first battle. Shame on the emperor. ”

Baili Wuji's face was expressionless, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

In this battle, the Fourth Army did its best. But the 60,000 Liao army bypassed Yanyun and went south, but did not get a trace of intelligence, which made Baili Wuji once again have an opinion on the military intelligence institute in charge of Xu Shiming, but Baili Wuji still endured. After all, Xu Shiming was born as a literati. In this era, how can we know the power of intelligence warfare. Baili Wuji decided to grasp the rectification of the Military Intelligence Institute, and this candidate fell on Xu Shouren.

There was silence in the court for a long time, and no one dared to remind Baili Wuji until Baili Wuji came back to his senses.

Looking at Ding Siji, who was prostrating himself and pleading guilty, Baili Wuji said: "Ding Qing don't blame himself too much, the Fourth Army in this battle is 30,000 against 60,000 Liao troops, including 20,000 elite Liao Army, it is not easy to have this result." Ding Qing has no fault but merit, and should be praised. ”

Ding Sijing heard Baili Wuji say this. was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister does not dare to ask for praise, but only asks the minister to reorganize the Fourth Army." ”

Baili Wuji shook his head: "Please don't allow it, I have my own arrangements for Ding Qing's placement." ”

beckoned, Baili Wuji asked the three people who were standing stupidly, "Who is Jiang Yansi?" ”

When Jiang Yansi heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The minister is Jiang Yansi." ”

"In this battle, you have made great contributions to breaking through the siege and asking for help, and I want to reward you well."

"The minister doesn't dare to say reward, the minister is under the command of Ding, and it is within his duty to break through the siege and ask for help."

"I heard that your brother died in this battle, tell me how he died?"

Jiang Yansi's eyes were red, and he replied: "At that time, there were only more than 100 people left in Badong, and Ding Du commanded Zhu Kuangye to command the envoy to lead the ministers to break through together. The ministers couldn't convince themselves to abandon the army and flee for their lives, so they reflexively went north, the original intention was to live and die with the Fourth Army, and they didn't want Commander Zhu to make the next part of the command also have this intention, and got the approval of Commander Zhu, and joined forces to get 500 people. The minister led the army to the north, and happened to meet the commander of Ding Du who was wounded and escorted south by a section of the Fourth Army, and the minister saw that the Liao army was chasing closely, so he ordered 500 people to charge the Liao army, in order to buy some time for the commander of the capital to escape. No, the minister's younger brother died in this battle, and the minister didn't know how he died....... ”

Baili Wuji was born in the military and has been through a hundred battles, so he can imagine that in this case, the death of a person is a matter of an instant, unless he happens to see it, how can he know how to die. Baili Wuji is still sure of the bravery of these 500 people, when facing death, it is not easy to make sacrifices, and when he has already escaped his life, he dares to dare to swim against the current and live and die with the whole army, this kind of bloodiness is even rarer.

In the corner, Jiang Jiliang and others were already crying, and they listened to the process of the death of the second grandson again, hitting the old man who had passed the sixtieth year.

Baili Wuji ordered the eunuch to invite Jiang Jiliang and others forward, and said with encouragement: "Patriarch Jiang, although Ling Sun died, he died a heroic death, you should not be too sad, you should be proud." ”

Jiang Jiliang choked and nodded silently.

Baili Wuji lightly summoned the eunuch over and began to announce the decree.

Ding Sijin was appointed as the commander of the First Army of the New Army, and was awarded the title of General Zhaoyong of the Third Army, and at the same time Bai Liyi was removed from the post of commander of the First Army of the New Army.

Zhu Kuangye was moved to the commander of the left wing of the First Army of the New Army, and was awarded the title of General Guangwei of the Fourth Grade.

Jiang Yansi was promoted to the commander of the First Army of the New Army, and was promoted to General Xuanwei.

Zhu Guichao was promoted to the commander of the right wing of the First Army of the New Army, and was initially awarded the title of General Mingwei of the Fourth Grade.

Zhu Guilin was promoted to deputy commander of the right wing of the First Army of the New Army.

Posthumously awarded Jiang Yanzhao the title of General of the Fifth Rank of Wude.

and the surviving soldiers of Zhu Kuang's amateur department and Padang were rewarded.

Jiang Jiliang already understood at this time that it was impossible to let Jiang Yansi go home, and the Jiang family gave birth to two generals in one day, Zheng Sipin, thinking that Baili Wuji was only one positive seventh product in Badong County, and even the history of Guizhou Assassin was only positive four products, so it was enough to comfort the ancestors of the Jiang family.

And Zhu Pengliang is even more satisfied, the eldest son was named a general, and the second son Zhu Guilin has become a deputy commander from a fugitive, at least the Zhu family will not be involved in the future.

Under the old tears, Jiang Jiliang and others bowed down to Baili Wuji to thank him.

Baili Wuji did not ask about Yelu Shuogu's situation at the court meeting, he didn't want to make this matter public, and Baili Wuji had a better arrangement for Yelu Shuogu.

Baili Wuji also made an arrangement, that is, to let Ming Pao report and publicize the battle of the Fourth Army, and let Feng Dao lead four Hanlin scholars in the imperial court to write articles, because the first "interview" of Ming Pao began. (To be continued......)
