Chapter 337: Set up a flag
Shout!
Before Yu Chen could make any moves, a cloud-piercing arrow shuttled from the sky, and an arrow pierced Guo Meng's heart, and immediately his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a snap.
Originally, Yu Chen let people rob the prey, and he was quite dissatisfied, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble his eyelids, the power of this arrow had threatened him.
Who is it?
Yu Chen stared at it, a streamer chased the stars and chased the moon, and when he got closer, it was Li Guang who was dressed in light armor, Li Guang glanced at Guo Meng, who was already dead, snorted coldly, and looked at Yu Chen and said: "Dust Dao Chief, thank you for rescuing my Great Qin soldiers." ”
General Li was polite. Yu Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, according to the previous agreement, he was going to act with Wang Jitang, but he had some feelings temporarily, but after a delay, if it wasn't for the hurry, I am afraid that there would be some tongues.
Originally, Yu Chen was a little disdainful of Daqin, but when he saw Li Guang's peerless archery skills, he couldn't help but be vigilant, such strength was no longer something he Yu Chen could look down on.
In the world, the level is determined by force, your force is stronger than mine, then you naturally have to listen to you, Yu Chen looked at Li Guang and looked at himself without saying a word, so he had to say again: "This will not happen next time." ”
Li Guang's expression looked a little better at this time, and he looked at Wang Jitang again and said: "Li Guang is late, which frightened General Wang, but this is not the time to talk more, Your Majesty's scouts have already caught up with the tail of my forward army, please General Wang quickly order his men to clean up the battlefield and welcome His Majesty's arrival, and I will send some people to assist the general." ”
Wang Jitang nodded, and hurriedly asked Lu Xiao to organize people to pursue the surrounding Yu army that scattered and fled as soon as Guo Meng died, Li Guang's words did not mean to leave prisoners, Wang Jitang naturally knew that this was to completely annihilate the bloodline of the Kingdom of Qiu.
Regarding the dumb riddle between Li Guang and Yu Chen, Wang Jitang was very smart and didn't ask, he knew that there were some things that he didn't know yet, but after this battle, he would know what he should know.
And the four brothers of Yu Chenshi stayed in front of Wang Jitang's tent, but if necessary, they could act at any time, seeing this scene, Wang Jitang was thoughtful.
Li Guang came and went quickly, the entire forward army totaled 200,000 people, except for some necessary logistics troops, the rest of the people had all gone to the battlefield, Wang Jitang's 50,000 troops were only one of the attacking teams, all the teams were taken by surprise, and all the teams were taken by surprise and achieved brilliant results in the surprise attack on the Yu army, and according to preliminary statistics, nearly 50,000 soldiers of the Yu army had been annihilated.
There were a total of 88,000 people in the front line of the army, and more than half of them were gone at this time, and there was a lot of follow-up work that Li Guang needed to do.
"Report, the forward battalion Li Guangzuo reported to Your Majesty, the forward battalion went into battle an hour ago, and now it has annihilated 50,000 enemy troops, God bless Daqin, long live Your Majesty!"
Wang Mang's big tent has been out of the city for more than 20 miles, 400,000 troops lined up, mighty, at this moment in the army, countless soldiers cheered and kowtowed to Wang Mang's central army and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!"
Wang Mang's face was also a little excited, and said: "Submit the detailed battle report, I want to reward you for your meritorious deeds!"
Soon, a series of rewards were passed along with the scouts all the way to the forward camp, and under the deliberate spread of the well-intentioned people, all the soldiers were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and it seemed that in front of their eyes, it was no longer a terrible army, but a pile of lovely military exploits.
Wang Mang's reward is twice as thick as the ordinary military merits, and there is a lot of praise for Wang Jitang, who has made great contributions in the war, and the implication is that the past things are not allowed to be mentioned again, and for other meritorious officials, countless rewards can be smashed people dizzy, and a large number of feudal officials and gold, silver and jewelry are smashed into the forward battalion.
When the forward battalion saw so many rewards, almost all of them, no matter what they were doing, bowed in the direction of Wang Mang and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!"
Wang Jitang looked at the book of comfort specially issued to him in his hand, as well as the reward for him to go to Shiziyuan for further study after returning to Beijing, Wang Jitang's eyes were a little red, and he clearly knew that from this moment on, the label on his body was no longer the leader of the rebel army who surrendered, but the son of the clan of Great Qin.
Lu Xiao said happily on the side: "General, that Shiziyuan was established by His Majesty himself today, and it is the highest university in Daqin ordered by His Majesty, and the best talents in Daqin are gathered in it. ”
As Lu Xiao said, Shiziyuan is the highest institution of learning in Great Qin, gathering the best talents in Great Qin, such as Wang Jitang, the original leader of the rebel army, can not be imprisoned is already the emperor's grace, how can he send a school full of talents to make friends.
Since this order has been issued, it means that the emperor and the ministers of Great Qin no longer have doubts about Wang Jitang, or that the apparent defense is gone, which is really the best news for Wang Jitang.
Wang Jitang looked at Lu Xiao and said after a long time: "Lu Xiao, I am too much worse than that imperial brother!"
Lu Xiao looked stunned, looked at Wang Jitang's somewhat lonely eyes, and couldn't help but feel sour, and said, "General, in this world, there are some people who want us mortals to look up to. ”
Wang Jitang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, then let's let us mortals create a myth with our own hands!"
Lu Xiao and Wang Jitang glanced at each other, and seemed to see the flame in each other's eyes at the same time.
Some ministers disagreed with Wang Mang's decision at first, but after seeing Wang Mang's reward decree, the morale of the entire army seemed to have directly climbed to a new level, and everyone had to be convinced of Wang Mang's grasp of people's hearts.
What kind of heart, this is greed!
Wang Mang smiled in his heart, I will give you whatever you need, as long as I can afford to give you what you want, you must give me all your might!
The eldest grandson Wuji was waiting by Wang Mang's side, and seeing that Wang Mang was in a good mood at this moment, he whispered: "Is Your Majesty too relieved of that Wang Jitang?"
"Why don't I rest assured?" Wang Mang smiled and said: "Wuji, I know what you are worried about, and I also know what they are worried about, but I have never had those worries of yours, because as long as I am alive, Wang Jitang will not be able to have other thoughts, I don't care about him or not, he is still talented, and now there are people who are stronger than him among the children of the clan, not nothing, but those who are stronger than him and know current affairs better than him are rare." ”
"Wang Jitang is indeed a great talent!" The eldest grandson Wuji also recognized Wang Jitang's talent, and said: "He is talented, and the strategist Lu Xiao next to him is also very talented, and what is even more rare is that these two people have a very high degree of tacit understanding, and when the two of them are combined, ordinary people are really not opponents." ”
"Mowgli, this is just one of the points, and there is another point, I have mentioned some before, I need Wang Jitang to make a banner, the function of this banner is to tell everyone that I am a Lixian corporal, and here in me, as long as you have the ability, no matter what your background, you can get a great future. Wang Mang said with a smile: "Great Qin is far away in the west of the mainland, and it is true that the culture, education and martial arts are not obvious here, and it is no wonder that the top scholars like Jixia School Palace look down on the scholars of Great Qin, and because of this, it is far more difficult for Great Qin to recruit scholars than other big countries, what I want to do is to change all this, I want to make Great Qin a place where capable people in the world can give full play to their strengths, and with the continuous collection of talents, Great Qin will become stronger and stronger." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Wang Mang, he always knew that the emperor he was loyal to had ambitions that ordinary people could not imagine, but now listening to Wang Mang's bland narration, although it was not so demagogic, but it was sincere in the plainness, the eldest grandson Wuji kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty, Wuji will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and help Your Majesty ascend to the Supreme Majesty." ”
Wang Mang glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, reached out and helped the eldest grandson Wuji up, and said meaningfully: "Wuji, I will be waiting for you at the peak, I hope you can always be by my side and be the forerunner of me." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Wuji will definitely follow in His Majesty's footsteps!" The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were firm, and he secretly made up his mind that he must be stronger, so that he could keep up with Wang Mang's footsteps.
Wang Mang didn't care whether the eldest grandson Wuji understood it or not, put aside the eldest grandson Wuji, and shouted outside: "Li Lan, ask the front, how long is it left, you can reach the front line battlefield!"
Li Lan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave has just asked General Wang, and there is still half an hour to go, and you can arrive at the frontline battlefield." ”
The wind is sluggish, the water is cold, the battlefield that was originally fought in a mess has been cleaned up, and the dried blood stains are covered with fresh loess, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all, just an hour ago, nearly 100,000 people died here.
As soon as Wang Mang entered the battlefield, he felt a fierce and murderous aura pressed over, Wang Mang knew that this was the murderous aura condensed on the battlefield, and the more people who cultivated to the higher level, the deeper they felt, but they didn't care, and said directly: "Spread Li Guang, Wang Jitang and others to meet you!"
Li Lan hurriedly roared, his originally thin voice kept yelling as he went out on the expedition, and he slowly regained some of his male nature, which also made Li Lan like to roar more and more.
Li Guang and the others had been waiting outside the big tent for a long time, and at this moment they heard Li Lan yelling, and hurriedly walked to Wang Mang's tent, and when they walked to the front of the tent, they were about to salute, but the eldest grandson Wuji took a step forward and held Li Guangdao: "General Li, Your Majesty has a will, generals, fight hard to kill the enemy on the front line, make great contributions to the country, and your Majesty will not kneel before the army!"
Li Guang and the others were stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Mang's big tent and said, "Wait for the ministers to thank the lord Longen!"
Wang Mang stepped out and said with a smile: "The generals are fortunate, this is in front of the army, there is no need for so many false courtesies, if you are in Chang'an at this moment, I will set up a banquet to entertain the generals." ”
"The ministers thank Your Majesty again, as Your Majesty's courtiers, it is the principle of heaven to fight for Your Majesty. Li Guang continued: "In order to welcome Your Majesty's arrival, the ministers and others have prepared some prisoners of the army and presented them to Your Majesty, thinking that Your Majesty is congratulating!"
Wang Mang glanced at Li Guang, this is not an established link, but if there are some prisoners, Wang Mang thinks that he is going to fight with the Kingdom of Yu, and he has not seen the soldiers of the Yu army so far, so he nodded and said: "Then let's sacrifice the prisoners!"
