Chapter 90: The undercurrent is turbulent

Triumphant!

For decades, the Tang Kingdom has lost many victories in the war with the Snow Country, and it has been a defeat overall. It is not easy to maintain the situation of peace, and this relative peace is exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers and the face of the Tang State. And today, the Tang Army actually won the victory, and it was the Black Flame Cavalry, the ace army that defeated the Snow Country, this battle will definitely go down in history, and it will make the Snow Country dare not easily go south half a step from now on!

In the hearts of some officers and men of the Tang Army, a bold idea was born, whether it was possible to go north!

Although some generals were wrapped in gauze, and some needed someone to help them walk, the sense of honor and pride of the soldiers had already made these pains come to naught.

Rong Dashuai sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, Chu Ye was now a personal soldier, and Liu Xing, another personal guard, was standing on his left and right.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle has brought out the majesty of my Tang Kingdom, and the Snow Country will not dare to invade my border again in a short period of time. However, it also exposed the strength of our army. We also need to step up our training and strive to make our cavalry and infantry stronger. Chu Ye had an idea, can you build a super powerful hard crossbow army, a thousand people are enough, each hard crossbow army is equipped with a strong hard crossbow, and the hand power can shoot through the heavy armor of the Black Flame Army with one arrow! This army cannot fight alone, but must cooperate with the cavalry, infantry, and Rongjia army to serve as a special combat corps in the Tang Army. ”

After Rong Dashuai finished speaking, he looked at the generals who were still a little excited, and wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

When such a major victory was achieved, he did not talk about celebrating the achievements, but talked about how to build another army and enhance the overall strength of the army. It is really fortunate that the Tang State has such a handsome general!

Song Zhiping stood up, "Marshal, I think Chu Ye's proposal is feasible, first of all, a thousand people does not cost too much financial and material resources, and secondly, we now have hard crossbows and archers in our army that can shoot through heavy armor, but they have not been combined into a complete team." Also, I suggest that some more Archer of the Snow Country can be compiled, and the ones of the Shawn Country can also be compiled, for the sake of peace! ”

Rong Qing looked at Song Zhiping appreciatively, "Zhiping, your suggestion is very good!" ”

Rong Qing turned to the other generals and said, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

"Marshal, I think we should study the Cloud Piercing Thunder, if you bury it in the ground, it will explode as soon as the people and horses step on it, you can arrange a Cloud Piercing Thunder Array, even if the other party is thousands of troops, they are not afraid, and they will all collapse into the sky!"

Said a wounded general. The wound on his arm was blown up by the Cloud Piercing Thunder, and he had been pondering how he could have such a weapon.

"Hahaha!" His words brought the atmosphere in the room to a climax. Yes, if he can research the Cloud Piercing Thunder, no matter what kind of Black Flame Army Flame Army he is, he won't be blown up.

There was a strong atmosphere in the conference hall, and everyone had only one goal, how to make the Tang Army stronger!

Chu Ye stood behind the big marshal and listened a little fascinated, he had learned too many things in the past few days, and he had a deeper and more real understanding of the way of soldiers.

If the Tang Li family knew how happy they would be after knowing the heated discussion in the Shayanguan Council Hall on the Northern Frontier, they would be very happy now, Li Tiancheng was looking at the battle report handed over by Rong Qing.

Li Tiancheng is the current lord of the Tang Dynasty, knowing his fate, in the prime of life, and has always been somewhat tolerant of the Snow Country, but from the perspective of his ability to govern, he can be regarded as a famous lord.

"Di Xiangguo, Rong Dashuai personally wrote the table, my Tang Sergeant almost wiped out the ace Black Flame Cavalry of the Snow Country! I didn't expect that! My Tang Dynasty is coming! ”

Li Tiancheng didn't laugh, but the smile in his eyes was enough to make Di Xugu feel hot.

"Your Majesty, it's really gratifying, I think my Datang has been harassed by the Snow Country, and the Snow Country's biggest reliance is this Black Flame Army, now, Rong Dashuai's careful preparations in the past few years have finally paid off, and the current Tuoba family must not dare to go south again! Alas, they have been preparing for so long in vain! ”

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed, and Li Tiancheng finally couldn't hold back and laughed.

"Di Lao, you look at the flowers, how beautiful."

Li Tiancheng pointed to an orchid in the Xuanqin Palace.

Di Xugu naturally walked to Li Tiancheng's side and admired the orchid.

Although the two are monarchs and ministers, they are actually confidants. Di Xugu, who was already the prime minister back then, supported the fourth prince Li Tiancheng, who was not very optimistic, and finally asked the old emperor to override the public opinion and make the four princes the crown prince.

"What does my king mean is that flowers are not good for a hundred days, people are not red for a hundred days, and the country is not always strong?"

For some reason, the people of the Fighting Continent love to appreciate the flowers.

"Yes, the Snow Country has dominated the Fighting Continent for hundreds of years, and it's my turn to wait for the debut!"

Li Tiancheng looked up at the window, and an eagle was flying in the blue sky.

"Your Majesty, we have been plotting with Rong Dashuai for nearly ten years, and we finally let the world know that my Tang Kingdom is the overlord of the Fighting Continent!"

Di Xugu also followed Li Tiancheng's gaze and saw the eagle spreading its wings in the sky.

"Elder Di, do you know Chu Ye?"

"Of course I do, now his name is almost unknown to everyone. It's really my good son of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Tiancheng motioned for Di Xugu to sit down and talk in detail.

"Rong Dashuai has made it clear that he has accepted Chu Ye as his righteous son!"

An indescribable deep gaze flashed in Li Tiancheng's eyes.

"My king, from this point of view, the situation between the DPRK and China will undergo some changes!"

Di Xugu's brows tightened slightly.

"Yes, you and I can talk about everything, the courtiers in the court are already obviously standing in line, the prince's position was not too stable before, and now Chu Ye is on Rong Dashuai's side, hey, as long as Rong Qing supports which prince, which prince will have a much greater chance of winning, even if it is the prince, he will not be more prestigious than Rong Qing now!"

Li Tiancheng looked at Di Xugu, he had seen Di Xiangguo like this countless times, because he had encountered too many problems.

"My king doesn't have to worry, Rong Dashuai is dedicated to the country, and he has no selfishness, but there is one more Chu Ye, looking at his performance in the rookie competition, he is also a patriot!"

Di Xugu still knew a little about Chu Ye, such a famous figure had long been listed as the object of first-class research among the royal family and nobles.

"Everyone has been young and crazy, but I don't know if I will never forget it after the storm!"

Li Tiancheng has seen too many killing schemes, and he knows that people's hearts are fickle, and the situation is relatively stable, because after Chu Ye throws himself into the Rong Dashuai who shocks the entire Fighting Continent, there will inevitably be some turmoil. As a trader of the court, he will not allow too much volatility.

"My king, you can give it a try! If Chu Ye can indeed know how to restrain his edge and devote himself to the country, the king can consider quickly recruiting him to his side, such talents are really rare. If, if he is arrogant, like Sun Yidao of the previous dynasty, let him always be stationed on the frontier and become a general! ”

Sun Yidao is a famous young genius, but it is a pity that he is open-minded and has no one in his eyes, and while he has achieved a lot of military exploits, he has also caused a lot of trouble, and in the end he can only be imprisoned, which makes everyone feel sorry for him. It is better to use a character who will explode at any time than to use a relatively stable person.

It is best to have both ability and political integrity, and you can only choose one of them, choose talents in turbulent times, and choose virtue in peaceful times!

"Okay, you come up with the purpose, Chu Ye not only won the double championship in one fell swoop in the rookie competition, but also risked his life to send the battle information back to my Tang Kingdom, and also played a decisive role in the battle against the Black Flame Army! I really don't know what to reward for such a great achievement, and most importantly, he is less than fifteen years old! ”

Li Tiancheng suddenly remembered someone, "By the way, I almost forgot, Chu Ye has an uncle who also made a miraculous feat and was killed by the killer in Shayan Pass." This person must be rewarded heavily, and he can be made a hero, not only to inform the world that my Tang Kingdom treats patriots well, but also to give Chu Ye and Rong Dashuai a face, so that they can deeply feel the emperor's grace! ”

Di Xugu stood up and saluted, "I, Wang Shengming, the old minister will do it immediately!" ”

"There is another thing, Rong Dashuai said a strange thing, kill the one called, yes, the killer who killed Zhao Yiduan may be from Yingzhou, Tang Dynasty!"

Di Xugu was a little incredible, "Although there are occasional infighting between the various factions in the DPRK and China, they have always been the same in their treatment of foreign enemies, does anyone really want to judge the country?!" ”

"Di Xiang, you work hard, and then send someone to secretly investigate this matter. Be sure to keep it a secret! ”

Li Tiancheng is most relieved now that Shayan Pass, although there is no news of the withdrawal of troops from the Snow Country, it is certain that this battle will not be fought in a short time. The most uneasy thing is the inside of the court, once there is no external enemy, the internal struggle may begin.

The discussion in the council hall in the sand smoke was still in full swing, and before I knew it, it was noon.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Rong Dashuai led everyone to hurriedly walk outside the house and knelt down to receive the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The soldiers of Shayan Pass fought bloodily, bravely defeated the Snow Army, and raised the prestige of our Tang Army, and I was very happy. This edict is hereby issued, and the award is as follows, Marshal Rongqing has been dedicated to the country for many years, protecting the safety of the northern border of our Tang Dynasty, and recently the Shuai Army defeated the Black Flame Army of the Snow Country, with great merit, and was promoted to a first-class duke, hereditary replacement! Chu Ye, the rookie won the first place and raised the prestige of our country. After that, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, was promoted to viscount, and was rewarded with a number of silver coins. Song Zhiping,......"

This edict is written with deep meaning, no matter how meritorious Chu Ye is, he will not be second only to Rong Dashuai, and the other generals are actually behind Chu Ye!

After receiving the edict and sending the envoy, Rong Qing sent away the generals and came to the backyard with Chu Ye.

"Son, what are you thinking? There are only our father and son here, so why did the Holy One plan to do so? ”

Rong Qing sipped tea lightly, and his expression was extremely leisurely.

"Father, I don't dare to act in vain, but I vaguely feel that the Holy God has rewarded me a lot, but it seems that I have not rewarded anything."

Chu Ye didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so he naturally didn't understand the strategy of the two old foxes.

"Xiao Ye, you are very smart, you should be able to think that now you are red, just like flowers are in their prime, plus I am behind you with heavy troops, who in this Tang Kingdom is not afraid of you! Even the Holy One will treat you differently! The Holy One knows that I am dedicated to the country and never participate in partisan disputes, but for you, I only know that you are patriotic now, and I don't know if you can still maintain your heart after you add brocade clothes! So, this decree is a reminder and an encouragement! You already have a knighthood at a young age, which is a reward that is higher than how much money you have! ”

Rong Dashuai was naturally happy, there were several happy events in the Rong family in one day, the happiest of which was that Chu Ye had been promoted to viscount, and his duke and hereditary didn't care too much about him, the level of the title was not important, and the hereditary could only be passed on to Chu Ye. In any case, what is now in front of Chu Ye is a golden avenue, whether he can walk well or not depends on Chu Ye's heart.

"Father-in-law, I understand, in this way, I will learn the way of a soldier at this border, I also want to study the formation and the cloud piercing thunder, the most important thing for me now is to learn more, not to seek fame!"

Chu Ye is naturally able to look down on these, for him now, the most important thing is not to disappoint anyone, his stepfather, Uncle Zhao, Ouyang Zhen, Xia Bing......

"Good boy, the moon is full and lacking, and people are hidden and visible. You need to change from the full moon to the lack of the moon now, from the dignitary to the forbearance. This is also the way of life, do not be greedy for a while, but take a long-term view and keep the world in mind. The future belongs to those who are always prepared! ”

Rong Qing taught Chu Ye like his own children, and also made Chu Ye smell the smell of Zhao Yiduan, Ouyang Zhen, and Chen Zhongtian, these elders are the closest people to him except for their parents!

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I want to be a person like you, dedicated to the country, not fame and fortune!"

The light in the room is as warm as spring, like a mother's hand, caressing people's hearts.

Tang Kingdom and Snow Country are pushing the wheel of time forward as always, the temporary situation is very stable, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, and the battles inside and outside the court may be triggered, and the people living in them may also be swept into this undercurrent at any time.
