Chapter 42: Divide the Cake
This year's winter seems to have come a little too suddenly, and the big trees that were slowly laying their leaves two days ago can't wait to wrap themselves in white winter clothes. God seems to have scattered all the goose feathers of the snow in the past, and wrapped the earth in a layer of silver. The merchants who had been setting up stalls on both sides of the road yesterday had collected their stalls, leaving only the bone-like wooden shelves still alone on both sides of the street. Pedestrians are also nested in their own homes unless necessary, and their wives and children are hot on the kang, and they cherish this rare time together when they get together less and more in a year. And although the generals who had to rush to the mansion of the Jade Gate Guard, all of them were strong and strong, they couldn't help but shudder: "This day, it's cold!" ”。
Zhang Liao, who had just stepped into the Yumen guard's mansion and was now Meng Li's Xingyuan Mansion, couldn't help but exhale a breath of white air, feeling the hot air blowing in his face, and the cold wind whistling behind him, he still walked a few steps quickly. Although he is a warrior and has a high tolerance for various climates and environmental changes, it does not mean that he likes this climate!
As soon as he walked into the hall, the sound of the strategists and generals talking to each other was endless. His long-standing habit made him glance at the full hall. A glance at him noticed that there was a girl at the back of the Wenchen column on the seats on either side of the seat where big men usually sit. Although I heard that there is a rare talented woman in the Xie family, who has recently joined the lord, he is still accustomed to machismo, and he still doesn't think that women have any place to help the lord in this chaotic battle for hegemony~
However, since this woman can sit in such a column, she has the capital to sit here, although it is only a light sweep. But as a well-known general, he already saw that although this woman was still young, her temperament made people feel comfortable and peaceful. The eyes that flashed with wisdom revealed a bookish atmosphere, and the delicate little hands and moderate breathing intensity let Zhang Liao know that she did not know anything about martial arts. Of course, this is only in relation to the fighters. The six arts of the gentleman's 'etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics' let all scholars have a good way of swordsmanship, although this kind of literati swordsmanship pays attention to the beauty of sword dancing and is extremely weak, but it is much stronger than a man who does not know martial arts at all and only dances with his fists, isn't it! Of course, the force value is there, but if you really want to fight a wild fight, it is still a brick to put down~
After all, not all of them are readers, they are all Xu Shu's kind of 'not doing business' goods~
After greeting each other with several generals sitting on the side of the generals, he sat down on the chair of the second place in the first column of the generals.
The top is Chen Qingzhi, who is 'thousands of troops and horses avoiding white robes', and does not leave his body in a white robe. Although Zhang Liao is confident that his ability is not weaker than Chen Qingzhi, but Zhang Liao, who thought that he expressed his respect for the 'old man' and was absent from the first two battles of the lord, still did not care about this first military general with Chen Qingzhi, after all, whose ability is strong or weak The lord is at ease, even if you sit next to the lord and have no ability, you still can't be reused. This is not only Zhang Liao's confidence that his lord is a discerning person, but also believes that his full talent will not be ignored.
……
In the backyard, after Xiao Ruo tidied up his neat appearance, Meng Li walked to the main hall with Dian Wei and Meng Zhang, the newly recruited guard.
Bypassing the backyard Yang Yue's former martial arts arena, there are eighteen kinds of weapons, as well as iron locks and stones and other polishing objects. It can be seen that although Yang Yue's martial arts are not as brilliant as those of his own generals, he still has not forgotten his ultimate reliance - martial arts!
After entering the main hall through the back door, after bypassing the screen placed there, Meng Li saw the lively scene in the hall.
Compared with the cold and lonely scene of a few big cats before, now there are many middle cats, and the laughter and laughter in the hall of the kittens are gathered together, which makes Meng Li a little excited~
Think about the confusion and fear of the future when you first crossed over; I also think about my fear of accidentally dying on the road when I came to Yannan Road; Think about the endangered Yumen Fortress that I was ready to die in battle some time ago. Now this full of laughter is not a reward for yourself, this step by step, your courage and insight are improving step by step. From the beginning's fear, fear, and confusion to the current look up to the future beyond the degree of life and death, isn't it in this constant crisis that I am transforming step by step!
Let's talk about strength, the only ones who have just been 'reborn' are Chen Qingzhi and Xu Shu, soldiers and horses? It's still the old lady's private soldiers and nurses who Xu Shu planned. And now? Although the soldiers and horses suffered a lot of losses in the war to repel the wolf god, there is no different voice in the entire Yannan Province now, just waiting for his heavenly soldiers to dedicate his father and mother to show his loyalty to himself. The generals are even more full of such a guard's mansion, and now their own generals include Chen Qingzhi, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Cao He and Meng Zongzheng, Meng Ying, Meng Jing, Meng Heng, Meng Zhang's father and son, plus Yang Yue, Hu Guang and a hundred elite wolf cavalry! Although it is not much, the ability of these people is also rare in the world, and it is not worse than some weak countries in the interior. What about Wenchen? It's even more amazing! Guo Jia, who is famous in the world, is very satisfied with himself, plus the well-known Xu Shu and Xie An, who is also of the same level and good at politics, there is really no shortage of high-level strategists, and the middle and low-level ones have the Xie family and some 'natives' to make up for it, and it is estimated that the empire may not be able to take out its luxury!
Thinking about it this way, my strength is still quite huge. Although the military generals of Wenchen are not like clouds and rain, they are enough to digest this important military town of Yannan Dao, and there is even redundancy! The fly in the ointment is that his own heritage is insufficient, although Yannan Province is a place where the martial culture is relatively heavy, but its pattern limits his population, and it also limits the number of his soldiers and horses. Now I not only need a large number of elite soldiers to conquer the grassland with all the awesome generals, but also need a large number of soldiers and horses to prepare for the problem of defending the town after seizing the entire Han Kingdom in the future.
"Participating in the Lord~" Now the title of 'Lord' has become a standard way for Meng Lijun to call himself under the rendering of the first few generals of the Three Kingdoms. And this voice shouted by nearly twenty people also made Meng Li, who was used to hearing only a few people shouting, a little unaccustomed.
"Everyone, please get up~" Strode towards his luxurious chair After it was ready, Meng Li said softly. Dian Wei and Meng Zhang stood left and right with Meng Li.
"Thank you~" Hearing the return salute, all the generals straightened up and sat down.
"Huh~" Meng Li, who cleared his throat, began this summary meeting.
"This year's winter is coming very quickly, and you have to pay more attention to whether the soldiers and people below have clothes to keep warm." Meng Li first mentioned that they should pay attention to the lives of their subordinates. They are the cornerstone of their own conquest of the world and their own governance.
"Oh~" The generals and ministers in charge got up and sang one after another.
"So, let's talk about the first thing of the day. The cold winter is approaching, and you should pay attention to the Tuntian incident in the coming year. As for the details, let An Shi come down and tell the person in charge of you. "Tuntian was not invented by a certain person, but was proposed by generations after making corresponding changes according to the situation of each time. At this time, Meng Li, under Xie An's reminder, spread the simple important things about Tuntian during Xie An's period. As for whether it works or not, that's next year.
"The second thing is to strictly investigate the smuggling merchants of my Yannan Road and the Northern Xiongnu! In the first battle this autumn, the Northern Xiongnu were beaten by us, and did not grab any grain and grass to survive the extremely cold winter on the grassland. However, this year's winter came very early, and without the support of those smugglers, they would not be in the minority who froze to death and starved to death this winter! "Winter on the prairie is cold and food scarce. Winter is coming, the grass is almost frozen, and the cattle, sheep and horses will lose fat if they can't eat, or even die, which is a great disaster for the Northern Xiongnu. They live on these meat and milk on weekdays, but now if they lose a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, then people will have no security of life. Therefore, the alien races on the grassland will go south every autumn to attack the Han checkpoint to get food, and also lose some young people to reduce the 'mouth' to eat, in order to survive the winter on the grassland.
"The third thing is the garrison problem for the coming year, Qianyu, you go and announce the deployment of the generals and gentlemen." Turning his head to the immature Meng Zhang, he commanded.
"Oh~" Meng Zhang, who responded, took out a cloth from the wide sleeves of the scribe's uniform, which was written on the distribution of the generals and strategists in the coming year, of course, the amount of this distribution cake also depends on this year's meritorious service.
"Yannan Marquis's Decree~" Spreading the rolled cloth, Meng Zhang, who had sung, looked up at the generals in the seat.
"We obey the order~" They all stood up and saluted.
"Fengtian carries Yannan Hou, and the edict says: Lonely and deep thinking about the hard work and high achievements of the generals this year, I hereby award the following!"
"Chen Qingzhi, Chen Ziyun! This year, there have been a lot of achievements in three major battles in a row, and I hereby title him is the general of the captives, and he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver~"
"Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan! The battle of the Jade Gate Fortress is very rewarding! I hereby seal him as the general of Pingyu, and reward him with eight hundred taels of silver~"
……
"Meng Zongzheng, Meng Defu! Lonely deeply feel that you have invested in it! You are hereby named the defender of the Yumen Fortress and rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. Lead your sons, Meng Zhuyu and Meng Puyu to garrison the Yumen Fortress! ”
After sealing the generals and vassals, this time the big cake should be distributed reasonably and evenly!
"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi! The strategy is transcendent, and the battle is impressive! Hereby, it is sealed as a farewell to Yannan Road, and a thousand taels of silver will be rewarded~"
"Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao! Resourcefulness is outstanding, and it is difficult for people in the world to read! It is hereby sealed as a military priest's sacrificial wine, and eight hundred taels of silver will be rewarded~"
"Xie An, Xie Anshi! Clear and pleasant, with the style of ancient celebrities! He is hereby named the first-class staff of the Yannan Province Shogunate, and is rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. ”
……
There are all kinds of things, regardless of the size, anyway, everyone has eaten a bite of the big cake of this reward. None of them looked dissatisfied.
