Ten miles outside Xianyang City, a wide public chariot is parked in the middle of the road, the carriage is pulled by six horses, there is a canopy, the first emperor sits in it, there is an internal official holding a tray next to the public car, there is a bronze wine jug and several three-legged bronze wine jue on it, and the hundred officials are lined up on both sides.

It is not a carriage, there is no carriage, some similar to the rickshaw of later generations, but it is just a carriage pulled by horses, Meng Yi and all the cavalry dismounted twenty zhang before the first emperor's chariot and stepped forward on foot.

The first emperor got off the court, and the internal officials immediately poured two jue wine, Meng Yi knelt on one knee with his fists in front of the first emperor, and the army behind him also knelt down.

"The last general, Meng Yi, on the orders of our emperor, led a large army to defeat Di Rong, defend our frontier, and now live up to the trust of our emperor and win victory."

The First Emperor said with relief: "All the generals are flat, and General Meng and I will drink this celebration wine." ”

"Emperor Xie."

The First Emperor looked at the crowd and suddenly raised his voice, "Where is Yang Yifei?" ”

When Yang Yifei heard the First Emperor call his name, he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed, and said, "The last will be." ”

The First Emperor looked at Yang Yifei with a smile and said, "You made the first contribution in this expedition, and you rode alone to capture the king of the Yue Clan, and you made a great contribution, and drank together." ”

Yang Yifei said: "Xie Wu Emperor Longen, I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty and never give up." ”

Following "Do your best, and then die", another excellent phrase to express loyalty appeared in the world, and Zhao Gao's temples jumped straight when he heard it, fortunately this guy is not a person in the palace, otherwise there would be basically nothing for him to mess with.

The first emperor listened to the dragon's face and was happy, and after drinking the celebratory wine, he took Meng Yi and Yang Yifei in one hand, and the three of them returned to the court together.

After the suburbs, it is necessary to "enjoy the credit of the ancestral temple and the lord of the court", that is, to go to the Taimiao to pay tribute to the ancestors and ancestors, and to offer the gift of prisoners.

Xianjie, that is, to report the news of victory to the ancestors and ancestors, to thank them for their protection, to offer prisoners, that is, to offer all kinds of booty, including captives, at this time the captives will be killed as sacrifices, and the end of the life of the king of the Yue clan, that is, after arriving at the Taimiao.

After this process is completed, it is the time for the king to feast on the meritorious heroes and discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, which is called "drinking to".

As Meng Yi expected, Yang Yifei was promoted to three levels in a row as the first merit, and he wanted to order Yang Yifei to lead an army alone, but he asked the first emperor to retract his order on the grounds that he only knew how to train soldiers and did not understand the way of marching and fighting.

Meng Yi took the opportunity to speak, begging the First Emperor to appoint Yang Yifei as his subordinate general, and after asking Yang Yifei and his own willingness, the First Emperor happily allowed to play.

The First Emperor greatly appreciated Yang Yifei's self-knowledge and not greedy for power, so he trusted him even more.

Because if a person who is greedy for power and rhetorical will not expose his shortcomings at all and voluntarily give up promotion.

Yang Yifei was afraid that because he didn't know how to march and fight, he would affect the three armies, which would cause Daqin to suffer defeat, which meant that he was indeed sincerely loyal to Daqin, and everything was for the sake of Daqin, so what reason did the king have to distrust such a general?

Yang Yifei was promoted three levels in a row, Meng Yi and Li Xin were promoted two levels each, Meng Yi was the chief of the concubine, Li Xin was the chief of the carriage, Nangong Yan and other generals of the military marquis and above, all of them were promoted to one level, and the others were rewarded according to their military merits.

Meng Yi was secretly happy in his heart, his brother Meng Tian was the Marquis of Guannei, and now, he was only one level lower than his brother, if he had another chance to make military achievements, he would be able to catch up with his brother, or even surpass his brother, and reach the position of Marquis of Che before him.

Meng Yi admired his brother very much when he was a child, not only taking him as an idol and role model, but also taking him as a goal to catch up, I believe that when he is promoted to the marquis of Guannei, his brother will definitely be happy for him!

And Yang Yifei and Nangong Yan have both been promoted, and they have not been transferred away, and this reward can be described as a great joy.

……

After drinking, the people will return to the camp, there is still a celebration waiting for them, although it is a great honor to drink and feast in Xianyang Palace, but with the presence of the first emperor, they are always a little unable to let go, pay attention to the etiquette at any time, return to the camp and drink with the brothers, that is called a hi fart.

The celebration of triumph in the camp lasted for three days, and after three days everything was calm, Yang Yifei handed over the power of the archers and cavalry troops, and was succeeded by a 2,500 lord under his command.

And Yang Yifei no longer needs to lead troops, he only assists Meng Yi in the big tent of the Chinese army to deal with some military affairs every day, and he can basically recognize Qin Seal after studying Qin Seal for half a year, after all, he just doesn't understand Qin Seal, and he is not completely uneducated from scratch.

Yang Yifei was promoted to a lesser level, and the first emperor gave him a mansion, and he was also a great Qin magnate with his own mansion.

However, he basically doesn't go back to live in that mansion much, he is alone, and Meng Yi is also alone, so he basically goes to Meng Yi's mansion to eat and drink when he is resting.

As a result of this expedition, the Mengjia army lost more than 3,000 brothers, and these people naturally had to be replenished from other troops.

So Meng Yi sent him a task to select elite soldiers in various armies and supplement them into the Meng family's army.

This task is also good for Yang Yifei, he can take the opportunity to deal with the generals of various armies, get acquainted with each other, and establish his own contacts.

Although Yang Yifei was grateful, he was not very enthusiastic about it, and when he went to various places, he only exchanged polite greetings with the generals who had a good relationship with Meng Yi, and the other troops were on official business.

To put it bluntly, the selection of elites by the Mengjia army is equivalent to digging the foot of the wall, and the soldiers under his own hands are good, which general is willing to give it up?

So in fact, many of the people recommended by the army are the kind of people who are very elite, but they are not the top kind, if they are generals who have a good relationship with Meng Yi, Yang Yifei will turn a blind eye.

Yang Yifei has his own set of selection of elite soldiers, he doesn't look at the roster recommended by those troops, and every time he arrives at a unit, he sets an assessment item, requires all members to participate, and selects the top-notch batch through the final results.

In this way, the troops could not hide their secrets, and most of the soldiers who did not want to leave except for their own deep relationship with the unit still hoped to join the Mengjia army.

Yang Yifei does not force those who are unwilling to leave, if they are forcibly transferred, it may also lead to the other party and Meng Jiajun not having the same heart, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, the people selected by Yang Yifei will ask them if they voluntarily join the Mengjia army, and if they don't want to transfer out of the original army, he won't force it.

This depends on the strength of the generals of each army, you can keep the elite soldiers under your command, that is your ability, if you can't keep you, you can't blame others.

It took more than half a year for Yang Yifei to complete the task of selecting elite soldiers and return to the camp, and when he returned to the camp, Meng Yi's news lifted his spirits.

On the Liaodong Peninsula there is a small country called Jizi Joseon, bordering Liaodong County and Donghu of Daqin.

Because they were often harassed by Donghu, in order to seek the protection of Great Qin, the king of Joseon wanted to sacrifice Princess Yushu, the first beauty of Jizi Korea, to make peace with Great Qin, and pay tribute to Great Qin every year.

The first emperor crowned Meng Yi as the imperial general and ordered him to lead the Meng family army to the border to welcome back Princess Yushu.

The plot has finally begun.
