Chapter 224: Five Tiger Generals
Su Yi returned to the second floor of Qinhuai Building, ready to close her eyes and recuperate for the second round of the competition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But before he could sit down, he heard a drum horn sound from downstairs.
"The holy decree has arrived! Su Yi, a man from the founding county of Southern Xuzhou, received the decree!" This voice was extremely thick, like a mountain rushing to the clouds.
Luo Zirui on the second floor didn't seem to hear it, he still closed his eyes and snored slightly, as if he was in a dream, but there was a wave of noise downstairs.
"Why is it so coincidental?" muttered Su Yi, but got up and went downstairs anyway.
A scumbag-faced Qincha stood at the door of the building, and Xiang Congliu followed behind him, looking calm.
Seeing Su Yi appear, Qin Cha smiled and asked, "You are Su Yi?"
"Xiaosheng is Su Yi, you are ......" Su Yi asked.
"He's Liu war-weary, but you can also call him Liu warlike. Xiang Congliu teased expressionlessly.
"Go, go, Lao Xiang, just talk about this in private, you can give me enough face in front of the next life. Liu raised his hand.
Xiang Yiming and the other members of the Xiang family all smiled kindly, obviously knowing Liu Yizhan.
Su Yi was being troubled by Liu Ran, and when she heard the surname Liu, she subconsciously tightened her heartstrings, but when she saw that Xiang Tingshi was familiar with Liu Tired of Zhan, and remembered that this person was from the capital, she immediately relaxed her vigilance, and then remembered something.
"Your Excellency, are you ...... Is it one of the five tiger generals, the tiger general Liu is tired of fighting?" asked Su Yi cautiously.
"Exactly. Liu smiled with a tired chin at the war.
Su Yi's face was shocked, he didn't expect that this big man would come to deliver the holy decree in person.
Most of the scholars will leave the imperial court after being promoted to the flying general, or become the governor of any state, or write books in seclusion, comprehend the art of war, and impact the position of Yuan Rong, only a few flying generals will choose to continue to serve the imperial court, and the best of them will be selected as the "Five Tiger Generals", which is the mainstay of the temple.
The system of five tiger generals has begun to take shape in the founding period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, created by Liu Xiu, intended to win over Fei will work for the imperial court, enhance the competitiveness of the imperial court and the Privy Council, and later mature in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei became the emperor of Xichuan, and when the Shu State was established, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were the five tiger generals, which were the most well-known five people in the past, and enjoyed the reputation of later generations.
And Cao Cao had already set up five tiger generals before, which were Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang He and Xu Huang, but Cao Cao had not yet been called the emperor, in order to avoid secrecy, the name of the five tiger generals was changed to "five good generals", but even so, the actions of the five generals also made Cao Cao's heart of the emperor obvious.
But later, Cao Cao completed the annotation of the whole book of "The Art of War" and the "New Book of Mengde" came out, which made his heart of sanctification overshadow the heart of the emperor.
Cao Cao himself was proficient in the art of war, so he naturally attached more importance to the military merits of the generals and the combat ability of the leaders, so the five good generals of the Cao family were also ranked in this way, with Zhang Liao as the leader, while Liu Bei ranked the five tiger generals by personal force.
The system of the five tiger generals has been inherited for hundreds of years, and now it has become more and more mature, and those who are now selected as the five tiger generals must not only have personal force that surpasses ordinary flying generals, but also need to make great contributions to the imperial court, and they can also have both conduct and high morality.
The most important thing is that Su Yi also heard that Liu was the main battle faction.
"I have seen Lord Liu, Xiaosheng has admired the name for a long time, and now I am fortunate to see Sansheng. Su Yi greeted sincerely.
"Hahaha...... Okay, I have been running around the beacon tower and the Silk Road all the year round, and I have not returned to the mainland for several years, but I didn't expect anyone to remember me! Su Mitian, you and I are both candidates for Wu Anjun, and their status is equal, so there is no need to be polite, huh...... There's a lot more to say, but let's get down to business. ”
Liu Yizhan suddenly restrained his smile, his expression was solemn, the game had already been suspended, and both the contestants and the spectators were holding their breath.
"Su Yi takes the order!" Liu Yizhan took out a golden holy decree inlaid with black horns from his sleeve.
According to the rank of the official, the texture of the shaft handle is different, Su Yi, as a man from the founding county of the fifth grade, issued him the holy decree is a black horn shaft, and when he was a civilian, the material of the holy decree was just an ordinary wooden shaft.
Seeing the holy decree, Su Yi bowed her head slightly to show respect.
The civilians below the thousands of people and pedestrians all knelt down, and the pedestrians and above knelt on one knee, and only a few Privy Council officials were still standing.
Liu Yanzhan glanced at Su Yi, nodded slightly, and then unfolded the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Southern Xuzhou general, the founding county male Su Yi, the book "Dragon City Flying General", write a poem about the heavenly heroes, save the human race from fire and water, save the society in the decline, high merit, honor the history, I am deeply relieved, and I am given 30,000 ...... of silver"
It took Liu Ti Zhan more than thirty minutes just to recite the rewards, but the rewards in the future are all tributes and goods unique to the royal family, and most of them can only be used to improve their lives, which is not of much help to the military industry, so Su Yi felt that he was not very interested, but some civilians behind him blushed and panted when they listened.
The wealth given to Su Yi by the imperial court was enough to make him a famous family!
Liu tired of war and read again: "...... Three snow lotus plants in the Tianshan Mountains, and gave the title of the founding marquis of Sushui County, 1,000 households, and added a solid seal, and was also sponsored to study in the Holy Son...... Chin!"
When everyone heard this, their breathing instantly became heavier, and they looked at Su Yi with envy.
Su Yi was actually named the Marquis of a Thousand Households, ranked in the third rank, and in terms of real power, his rank was already on an equal footing with Xiang Tingshi, and state officials other than the latter had to perform official etiquette when they saw Su Yi in public.
And what makes everyone salivate even more is the admission qualification of the Holy Son!
As the highest institution of the human race, only the best samurai in the world can be enrolled, due to the limited number of enrollment places each year, so the competition is extremely fierce, many samurai in order to enroll in the Holy Son, in order to be able to make their career more flat and broad, even at the expense of smashing the pot to sell iron, bankrupt.
Now that he sees that Su Yi doesn't need to compete, how can he not be envied by everyone when he sponsors him to study in the Holy Son School.
Even Xiang Yiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really more popular than people, he is still fighting for the admission qualifications of the Holy Son and others, Su Yi is obviously just a general, but he is already ahead of him.
However, after thinking about it, Xiang Yiming felt relieved, Su Yi was a great hero who saved the human race with a song "Dragon City Flying General", if such people can't enter the Holy Son School, who else dares to say that they are qualified to enroll?
Liu's war-weary voice echoed throughout the port, and Su Yi thanked him.
"Congratulations Su Mitian, now you are the Marquis of a Thousand Households, and you are not far from the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Liu Yanzhan kindly shook Su Yi's hand and said with a smile.
The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't understand whether the other party was praising him or making fun of him, the marquis of Qianhu County, compared to the Marquis of Wanhu, had only just stepped out of one-tenth of the distance.
Suddenly, Su Yi felt two notes being quietly stuffed into his hands.
Liu Tizhan was still smiling, and Su Yi immediately realized that this was probably a secret letter from some big man to him, so he put it in his sleeve with the same expression.
"Lord Liu has worked hard from afar, so it is better to participate in this banquet and let Xiaosheng pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. Su Yi said.
"Although I also want to celebrate your victory, but I still don't want to, I'm afraid that as soon as I sit down, everyone will be restrained, but it will ruin the atmosphere; Liu Yanzhan patted Xiang Congliu's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I've been busy with official business these days, so I don't have the heart to drink with you. "Item from the runner.
"It's really unkind, aren't we good partners in life and death, by the way, go and call Hidehiko too......"
The two adults turned to leave, and it was not until they disappeared into the corner that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Yizhan talked and laughed in front of people, the majesty of the Five Tiger Generals still gave everyone great oppression, especially Liu Ran, who was against Su Yi, and he felt that the mountains were on his back.
The martial arts meeting continued, and Su Yi returned to Qinhuai Tower and found an opportunity to read two secret letters.
Sure enough, one of the secret letters was sent by Shang Shuling Xu, which said that Yang Wei, the assassin of Hengzhou, had come to Southern Xuzhou, and would definitely try his best to protect Yang Junxun and ask Su Yi to give Yang Wei some "convenience" as much as possible.
Su Yi thought to herself: "If it weren't for Yang Junxun instigating Han Kai to make a gambling contract with me on Jiuding Mountain, Han Kai would not have ended up like this; as an 'instigator', Yang Junxun is already an unforgivable sin, even if I forgive him, how can the Holy Dao tolerate such a treacherous person? Now that the dog has made a mistake and pleaded for his father, Lord Xu wants me to give him 'convenience', does he want to forgive Yang Junxun? Or is it ......?"
Su Yi thought for a moment and decided to make a decision after the martial arts meeting, and then looked at another letter.
The second letter was written in a more delicate font, apparently written by a young man, and the letter only thanked Su Yi for taking care of Liu Xinzhao during this time, and agreed to visit her in the future.
This made Su Yi feel confused, the one who could make the tiger general Liu tired of war hand over the secret letter must be a big man, but why didn't he say anything serious?
Although Liu Xinzhao did live in his house for more than a month, Su Yi did not bother to take care of her, and almost all the matters of entertaining guests were handed over to Su Shi'er;
And is this little thing worth the trouble of sending a secret letter?
Su Yi had no clue, so she had to put aside the secret letter for the time being, looked at Luo Dudu, who was still closing her eyes and recuperating, and moved to the window to watch the rest of the first round.
At this moment, it happened to be Xia Ziyu's turn to play, and I saw that the latter won one after another with a fierce offensive and won the applause of the audience.
Xia Ziyu's opponents were not lacking in a few battle-hardened pedestrians, but the former did not even use any tricks and sharp weapons, and only used two desperate battles to defeat five of his opponents and advance to the next round, which made Su Yi admire.
At this moment, there were bursts of cheers from the other ring, and there were even childish shouts from children: "Come on, Daddy!"
