721 Founding County

"Soldiers, please get up, please get up." Li Er stepped down from the dragon seat, personally helped the soldiers up, and also grabbed the hand of a soldier with a broken arm and asked for a cold question, the scene was quite touching.

These are all old-fashioned episodes, Liu Yuan didn't feel anything, but after receiving the emperor's personal greetings, Guan Yong and Hou Jun were very excited, not to mention Tang Dashan and Qin Lang, two of them were seriously injured and didn't snort Iron Man, they were so excited by Li Er's words that they burst into tears, and almost didn't cry, Liu Yuan understood that in their eyes, the emperor was legendary, the incarnation of the dragon, high and sacrosanct.

After helping up a group of soldiers and cordially greeting them, Li Er returned to his seat and sat down, and soon, a eunuch read out the achievements of Yangweijun and his party.

The battle record is almost described in Liu Yuan's letter, but once it is polished by the provincial officials, it has a bit of legendary color, what kind of wisdom is full of scheming, anticipating the enemy in front, moving the domain, using soldiers like a god and other beautiful words added to Liu Yuan, that is, escape, and it is also depicted as brilliant as Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven verticals, especially when it comes to the scene of the bloody battle of Naxuefeng, Liu Yuan is written as a god of war, and he dares to make Liu Yuan a new generation of military gods.

Don't really say it, Liu Yuan was a little blushing when he heard it, fortunately, the number of enemies killed was not deliberately exaggerated, otherwise Liu Yuan would be embarrassed, of course, like Abo. The secret matter of secretly taking refuge in the Tang Dynasty was naturally hidden, after all, every dynasty has Apo. Who dares to guarantee that it will not be leaked?

When Li Er discussed important matters, he only invited a few henchmen to the imperial study to discuss secretly.

Liu Yuan also understood the meaning of the imperial court, now that the two countries are at war, the Tubo people who are not afraid of death are putting great pressure on the front-line soldiers, and the imperial court urgently needs to set a few examples and create a few heroes to boost the morale of the soldiers. Needless to say, once this battle report is posted, Liu Yuan will definitely gain a lot of fame and fame, which will help him move closer to the ranks of famous generals.

After the eunuch finished reading, Li Er said happily: "Such a heroic man in the Tang Dynasty, why not be afraid of a little Tubo!" ”

The ministers of the "Emperor Wise" were naturally willing to cooperate, which made Li Er feel better.

At this time, Wei Chi Jingde came out of the ranks. With a straight face, he said: "Your Majesty, General Liu only drove dozens of horsemen, and he defeated Tibet, which not only saved the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, but also raised the prestige of our Tang Dynasty." Please ask the emperor to reward these soldiers as encouragement. The minister asked the emperor to be more merciful to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. In order to complete the task, they died in a foreign land, which is sad and singable. ”

"Aiqing Ping'an" Li Eryi said with a straight face: "I will never be stingy with the meritorious soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said to the eunuch who was waiting beside him, "Declare the decree." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The father-in-law took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago. Then the noise shouted: "Yangwei General Liu Yuan and his subordinates listen to the order. ”

"The minister is here" Liu Yuan said while kneeling down, Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Wei Chi Baoying and others also hurriedly followed Liu Yuan to kneel, not only that. In addition to Jin Zhiwu, who maintained order, even the civil and military officials in the court, they all followed the salute, and for a while, the court knelt down.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Yangwei General Liu Yuan, temperament, perseverance, wisdom and bravery, Yangwei army, brave and good at fighting, loyal and commendable, on the occasion of the treachery of Tubo, Yangwei General Liu Yuan only led his subordinates to dozens of horses, straight into Tubo, not only frustrated strong enemies, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but also led most of the troops to evacuate safely, in the country of abandonment, the state of barbarians greatly raised the military prestige of my Tang Dynasty, conform to the will of the people, shock the hearts of the army, can be regarded as a model for the military and the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now Liu Yuan is the general of Mingwei and the general of Yangwei, promoted from the male of the founding county to the son of the founding county, increased the number of 200 households, rewarded 300 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, a royal treasure knife, a black iron bow, 100 palace silk, and 100 palace silk; Guan Yong, Hou Jun, and Wei Chi Baoqing were promoted to the third level, each rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and each gave an imperial treasure knife, Zhao Fu, Tang Dashan, Qin Lang, and the official was promoted to the second level, each rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and the remaining soldiers were promoted to the first rank, each with three hundred taels of silver, half of the wounded, twice as much as the disabled, and a thousand taels of silver for those who sacrificed their lives for the country, and their families were exempt from tax for three years. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen" Liu Yuan and a group of subordinates thanked him loudly.

This Li Er, not bad, although General Mingwei is from the fourth grade, but at least he is also a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, with Liu Yuan's merits, even if he is promoted three or five levels in a row, it is not too much, but Li Er has said first, he will not be promoted much, then he must be compensated in other aspects, the most surprising thing for Liu Yuan is that he was promoted from the founding county male to the male county prince, and the title was promoted to one rank, which is extremely rare, as for the reward of gold and silver, it is inferior to a lot, only three hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and then knives, bows, silk or something, are all things that are not very valuable, and it can indeed be seen from here that the treasury is indeed tight, and that's it, Li Ercai gritted his teeth and raised Liu Yuan's title to a higher level, in order to achieve the purpose of rewarding meritorious deeds.

Fought two battles in a row with Tubo, the loss is huge, the huge scale of the Daming Palace and the Yellow River, these are bottomless pits, such a toss method, that is, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, Datang has started to issue bonds since last year, and now the Daming Palace has not yet skimmed, that is, the Tubo War, now it is only in the stage of confrontation, it is very smooth, at least three or five years, because Datang is now starting to train the army of the plateau to the scale, at least three years, bottomless pit plus money burning machine, Datang's finances can be imagined.

That is, the rich Tang Dynasty can afford it, if it is Tibet, it is estimated that just by dredging the Yellow River, Songtsen Gampo will have to smash iron and sell pots.

Li Er's move can be regarded as very generous.

Guan Yong, Hou Jun and others are also extremely satisfied, because Liu Yuan is the main general, and the credit is the greatest, and Liu Yuan is leading everything, for example, the gunpowder was made by Liu Yuan alone, and the last battle was the last, and Liu Yuan single-handedly turned the entire battle around, and the credit was Liu Yuan's, and no one dared to refute it, they didn't care about the gold and silver goods, but they got the most important promotion, which was enough.

The fly in the ointment is that ordinary soldiers are not promoted high, only promoted to one rank, but considering that the Yangwei Army is a special army, with few people and elite, it is a good progress, in fact, think about it carefully, many people who are in the team can only be a reserve soldier in the Yangwei Army, as soon as I think of this, those soldiers are satisfied, and the wounded, disabled, and dead are taken care of, what else is not satisfied?

As a result, a group of soldiers who were born and died and returned from bloody battles were all happy.

Liu Yuan looked up and saw his father-in-law, Cui Jing, with a red face and a smile even brighter than himself. (To be continued......)
