"General, they are just greedy for a while, please let the general spare them for the sake of following them all the way and fighting to kill the enemy."

In the Chu Palace in Shouchun City, the black buttocks pleaded with Zhao Tuo with an embarrassed face.

Behind him, there were also three military officials who wore crowns and held the titles of official doctor and public doctor. These are one of the two and five hundred lords and two five hundred lords under his black buttocks.

"We are greedy, please spare us!"

"We won't dare next time!"

Their faces were full of pleading, and their heads touched the ground.

Zhao Tuo had a cold face, his gaze swept over the three of them, and fell on the piles of gold and jade on the side, as well as a military judge with a blood-stained cloth on his head.

These gold and jade are all treasures in the treasury of the Chu Palace.

The king of Chu surrendered with his meat, and the sacrificial vessels and precious books in the palace were all loaded into carriages by the Qin army, transported to the Huaishui River, and sent back to the Qin State by boat. However, there are still a large number of precious items in the palace city, waiting for the Qin army to take over the follow-up to take over.

Because Zhao Tuo's men and horses were the first Qin army to arrive in Shouchun, they not only captured Shouchun Waiguo and made great contributions, but also left the palace city not to fight, and shared the credit for destroying the country to the army, so Wang Jian assigned the task of garrisoning the palace to Zhao Tuo.

Compared with other generals, the troops were sent to Shouchun to guard and entangle with the Chu people. Garrisoning Miyagi and taking over the defense is a big difference.

In the palace city, not only are there no bloody righteous people of the Chu State who are desperate with them, but there are treasures and gold and jade everywhere, and they can dazzle their eyes when they catch anything.

Rare treasures and precious objects are counted and sealed by military judges, numbered and recorded, packed into boxes, and waiting to be transported back to China.

In addition to this, the money in the palace can be disposed of at the discretion.

The Qin army had strict military laws, and there were very few massacres and robberies of cities, and at most, after breaking through the enemy's cities, they would distribute some of the money in the treasury to the soldiers.

In addition to military merits, it is naturally a tacit reward to get money from the treasury of the Chu Palace.

The soldiers fought hard, especially Zhao Tuo's troops, who first fought with him against 100,000 Qi troops, and later entangled with Xiangqu's 30,000 Chu troops, and then went hundreds of miles deep to take Shouchun.

Such hardships should naturally be rewarded.

Therefore, although the Qin army could not reward the treasures in the palace to the soldiers on the surface, from Wang Jian and Zhao Tuo to the military judges of various ministries, they would turn a blind eye to certain things and regard them as some kind of unspoken rule.

The premise is that you can't be too greedy, pick up some coins, bring a few pieces of gold cakes, Yingzhan and the like, and everyone will close their eyes and pass.

But there are always people who are too greedy, just like these people kneeling in front of Zhao Tuo at the moment.

They conceded themselves as the two or five hundred lords and five hundred lords of the Qin army, and one of them carried a box of gold cakes and left the palace.

Even the two or five hundred lords who took the lead found the inner and outer clothes of the beauties in the palace out of nowhere, wrapped them in several layers on their bodies, and prepared to wear them out with such a swagger.

Such an arrogant behavior, of course, was stopped on the spot by the military judge, and asked them to put some of their belongings back, and those gaudy clothes had to be taken off.

But the two or five hundred lords were conceited and made great contributions, and they were dazzled by the wealth, and they even quarreled with the military judge on the spot, and in a hurry, they shouted "Kill the enemy on the battlefield, shouldn't you take some money?" and so on, picked up the gold cake and smashed it on the head of the military judge.

Then, it made trouble to him Zhao Tuo.

The black buttocks muttered: "General, let's destroy Chu's great victory, we should be festive, and the generals should also take some property, when we destroyed Wei before, didn't we also share ......"

"What, you're coming to teach me?"

Zhao Tuo looked at him coldly.

The black buttocks suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said weakly: "Don't dare." ”

Zhao Tuo said coldly: "These people are all under your black buttocks, and the discipline is not strict, you should also sit down and be responsible, dare to excuse yourself here?" You still can't protect yourself, and you dare to defend these people? ”

"Huh? Am I guilty too? ”

The black buttocks were stunned.

Zhao Tuo was very angry, although this black buttocks had been reprimanded by him a few times, he was quite restrained, and he also knew that he had begun to learn the art of war and the like.

But compared with Zhao Guang, Shima and others, it is a lot worse after all. If it were the other two, how dare they say please for these people at such a time.

The black buttocks are loyal, but they are quite rude and arrogant, if they don't clean up properly, they don't know what kind of mess they will make in the future.

"Privateer robbed the property in the palace, and these two people seized the title."

Under Zhao Tuo's cold voice, the two five hundred masters trembled and cried together.

After a victory, not only did they fail to be promoted, but their original titles were deprived, not to mention the regret in their hearts.

Zhao Tuo's eyes were cold, he turned his head to look at the trembling two or five hundred lords, and asked the military judge who was waiting on the side: "This person is two or five hundred lords, who took the lead in plundering the property of the Chu Palace and beating the military lawyer, what is the military law?" “

The military judge immediately replied: "According to the military law, you should be the head of the owl to show the public." ”

Zhao Tuo's face was covered with frost, and he said in a deep voice: "Then deal with it according to military law." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

After winning the battle, he actually killed his own thousand-level officers.

After the two or five hundred lords reacted, they immediately shouted: "I don't accept it, I'm not the only one who takes the money, everyone is taking it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many military officials who had sympathy for him just now suddenly changed greatly.

"He beat the military judge, he should be killed!"

"Drag it down and take the head!"

"If you don't kill this person, the military law is not right!"

The two or five hundred lords were dragged by two armor soldiers and went out of the palace, and he cried and shouted: "I have made meritorious contributions to the general, and I have shed blood for the Qin State......

Soon a bloody human head was presented to the generals, and everyone was silent when they saw the hideous head that was not blind, and they did not dare to speak.

Zhao Tuo's expression was indifferent, taking money was a problem, but it would not be beheaded.

If this person is not killed, how can the sanctity and majesty of military law be guaranteed, and how can rewards and punishments be clearly defined in the future.

Not to mention that he, Zhao Tuo, led his subordinates to get this beauty difference this time, I don't know how many people saw it in their eyes and complained in their hearts. At least that Qiang fistula will definitely be uncomfortable, and now that this thing has happened, if he Zhao Tuo doesn't deal with it decisively and cleanly, wouldn't he keep his tongue open.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo turned his head sideways, stared at the black buttocks who kept swallowing saliva, and snorted coldly: "Your black buttocks are not strict in discipline, you should be punished with continuous sitting, ten first, and endure punishment." ”

Hearing this, the black buttocks breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they don't win the title, it's a trivial matter.

But when he thought of Ji Shijia, he felt distressed again, and he would have to pay a fine of more than 10,000 yuan.

For people from poor backgrounds like Black Buttocks, it feels very painful.

Not to mention the indignity of this era, to shave his beard and sideburns.

The higher the title, the greater the moral damage caused by this humiliating punishment.

"The last will be guilty, and the last will be punished."

The black buttocks bowed his head and pleaded guilty, and stepped back to find the military judge to shave his beard.

Seeing that the black-buttocked army was reprimanded and punished by General Zhao, the other military officials were frightened, and thought in their hearts that they must take good care of their subordinates when they go back, and don't let themselves end up like this.

Only Xi Qigu couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the aggrieved face of the black buttocks.

Back then, he made Shima straightened up, and was sentenced to endure the sentence by the tun chief, and shaved his beard, but he was not less teased by the black buttocks at that time. Now it's finally his turn to joke.

Zhao Tuo looked at the appearance of the black buttocks retreating in fear, and nodded imperceptibly.

Thinking about this reprimand and punishment, it should be able to dispel some of this guy's arrogance, let the black buttocks be more restrained, and let him know that even as a military candidate, he must act according to the rules.

After this incident, everyone knows that General Zhao's rewards and punishments are fair, even if it is his beloved general Black Buttocks, after his subordinates commit crimes, they will be severely punished.

Next, the Qin soldiers were stationed in the Chu Palace, and they all acted according to the rules, and they were also careful with money, for fear that they would be robbed of their titles and cut off their heads if they were not careful.

After the news of this happened, the other generals heard about it and most of them nodded in approval.

This Zhao Tuo is an iron-fisted person, who speaks and does things without leakage, and people can't find fault with it.

A few days later, the follow-up Qin troops arrived in Huainan one after another, and the Qin army gathered about 300,000 troops outside Shouchun City, except for a part of the troops that were still in Huaibei to conquer the cities of Chu.

Although the king of Chu surrendered, the state of Chu was not really destroyed.

To the south of Huaishui, there is still a large area of land in the hands of the various feudal lords of the Chu State, and above the city, there is still the red phoenix flag of the Chu State.

Therefore, the war is far from over, and these 300,000 troops will be sent out by Wang Jian to attack various cities in Huainan and plant the black banner of Qin on every piece of land south of Huaishui.

Of course, before starting a new round of conquest, the meritorious titles in the Great War of Exterminating Chu also began to be awarded.

For Zhao Tuo's part, it was a day of joy.

Under Zhao Tuo, all the generals have meritorious deeds, and each has been upgraded.

Among them, Bai Rong and Xi Qigu were originally doctors.

Relying on the Yinghua of the Battle of Zhencheng, as well as the merits of breaking through Xiangqu and Shouchun, the two of them were directly promoted two levels in a row, and each wore a crown and was upgraded to the title of five doctors.

already has the qualifications to become a military candidate, or even a captain.

Below the two, the official doctors Su Jiao and Zhang He were also promoted two levels in a row because of their merits and became public passengers.

In addition, Lu Juan and Li Shang, who were Zhao Tuo's short soldiers, each of them had a corresponding head on the way to Shouchun before the Qin army broke through Xiangqu and went south to Shouchun, and the title has been promoted to no more level.

Now, on the basis of not changing, they have shared the benefits of the war together, and they have been promoted two levels in a row to reach the level of official doctors.

When he put on the crown that symbolized the official doctor, Lu Juan burst into tears on the spot and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Tuo.

"If it weren't for the general, Lu Juan would still be an ignorant villain in abundance, and An could have the glory of today."

"Lu Juan's order should be owned by the general!"

Lu Juan was really excited, just a year ago, he was just a lowly native of Chu State, even if he was brought to Qin State, it would be useless.

Zhao Tuo, as a middle and higher lord, treated him differently, personally taught him the art of war, and took him to the battlefield for training. Even after defeating the enemy army, he asked Lu Juan to cut down the "enemy" with his own hands, and fed his title directly to the level.

Now that he has been promoted to an official doctor because of his profits, how can he repay Lu Juan for this kindness?

"The only way to repay with your life!"

Lu Qian muttered to himself in his heart.

Compared to Lu Juan and Li Shang who were fed to the level of official doctors by Zhao Tuo with captives and merits, Zhong Liyi's speed of promotion to the title was shocking.

Last year, Zhong Liyi was given the title of third-level hairpin because he was erected by the Qin State as a typical example of the Chu people surrendering to Qin.

After that, he followed Zhao Tuo to break through the 100,000 Qi army, and he could be upgraded to a non-change title according to the merits of the profit.

At this time, he actually led a hundred horsemen to the west, and on the way to the rout of the Qi army, he captured Sima Tian Chong, the great of Qi, alive.

That's the great Sima of a country, the commander of a hundred thousand troops!

His title and official position can even be compared with Wang Qian, and such a great achievement of capturing alive is even more important at the critical moment of the war between Qin and Qi.

Later, Zhong Liyi followed Zhao Tuo to participate in the battle of breaking through Xiangqu and capturing Shouchun, which had many contributions, so after Wang Qian's careful consideration, it was decided to directly promote him to the title of five doctors.

In half a year, Zhong Liyi has risen from a small third-level hairpin to a ninth-level five doctors, and the speed of his upgrade is so fast that everyone who heard it was shocked.

However, no one was unconvinced, because Zhong Liyi captured the Great Sima of Qi alive, and with this feat, it was enough to crush all doubts.

If you have the ability, you will also catch a big Sima?

When Zhong Liyi put on the crown of the crane and became the fifth doctor in the same column as Xi Qigu and Bai Rong, although he tried his best to calm his expression, the excitement in his eyes was difficult to hide.

He did not say words of service on the spot like Lu Xuan, but knelt down to General Zhao to show his gratitude.

Pulling Zhong Liyi up from the ground, Zhao Tuo looked at the generals in front of him who were full of joy after being promoted, and couldn't help but think of the two five hundred lords who had been robbed of their titles by him before, and the two or five hundred lords who had their heads cut off and their titles were naturally gone.

Qin's laws are strict and meticulous, and there are not many people in the entire Qin State who take the title every day for breaking the law.

Some people have been promoted to knighthood through meritorious service, and some people have broken the law to win the knighthood.

Is there a unique balance between one in and one out?

On this day, except for Zhao Guang, Shijian, and Black Buttocks, all the generals under Zhao Tuo's command were promoted.

The titles of these three people have not changed for the time being, because the titles of the five doctors and above will not be issued until they return to Xianyang, so they are not worried.

According to Zhao Tuo's estimate, these three people participated in the battle of Zhencheng, and with the merit of breaking through the 100,000 Qi army, they were promoted to the head of the left house, which is definitely stable.

After that, he defeated Xiang Qu, went south to break Shouchun, and finally was shared by Wang Jian to destroy the country's credit, the three credits are combined, and it is possible to be promoted to the right chief, and if you can win some more battles in the future, it will be more stable.

After counting the merits of the generals, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but look at his own merits.

He was originally a middle watch, leading the army to break 100,000 Qi troops in Zhencheng, as the main general, he has obtained full merit, plus the previous Quyuan plough work, there must be no problem in being promoted to the title of right watch.

But if you want to go one step further and rise to the fifteenth level of the Young Lordship, it will be a little difficult.

The first battle with Xiang Qu is naturally a great success for those with low titles.

However, Zhao Tuo's title was too high, and he broke through the 30,000 Chu army of Xiangqu, but the actual capture was only more than 10,000, and he did not capture the enemy's main general. This credit is negligible for Zhao Tuo, who wants to rise to the top of the building.

In the words of later generations, Zhao Tuo's level is too high, and there are too many experience points required to upgrade the title, and the more than 10,000 gains are just at the bottom.

You must know that Li Xin followed Wang Jian and made a name for Yan, and he was promoted to the title of Shaoshang.

In addition to conquering the city all the way and dividing the profits to destroy Yan, the main reason is that Li Xin, as the main general, attacked Liaoxi for thousands of miles and intercepted the nobles and ministers of the entire Yan State. At the same time, he also captured Prince Dan of Yan, who was wanted by Qin Wangzheng.

With such great achievements, Li Xin was able to be promoted to a young master.

Another thing worth referring to is that just like Wang Qian, a veteran, he attacked the Zhao State before, but he was promoted to the head of the chariot from the big one. After destroying the Yan Kingdom, he was promoted from the chief of the carriage to the chief of the great concubine, and there has been no marquis so far.

Therefore, when Wang Jian swore an oath on the ba, and asked Qin Wangzheng for a field house, he faced Qin Wangzheng and asked him, "The general is good, why worry about poverty".

Wang Jian returned a complaint and went back: "As the king's general, he can't be crowned a marquis if he has merit, so the king's ministers, and the ministers also timely invite Yuanchi to be the descendants of the industry." ”

Wang Jian, who destroyed the two countries in a row, is still not allowed to be a marquis, which shows how difficult it is to rise to the title of Qin in the future.

Therefore, if Zhao Tuo wants to upgrade to less Shangzao, he must come up with the same credit as Li Xin.

If he leads the army alone to break through Shouchun, defeat the Chu Palace, capture the King of Chu and the nobles of the Chu clan, such a great achievement of destroying the country, it is safe and secure to be promoted to Shaoshangzao, and even under the joy of the King of Qin, it is not impossible for him to jump one level to Dashangzao.

But Zhao Tuo gave up the exclusive merit of destroying the country and capturing the king, and only took the military merit of breaking through the outer city of Shouchun, even if he could get some credit for destroying Chu afterwards, but it was always a little worse.

He lacked the extremely important merit of intercepting the ministers of the Yan State Sect and capturing Yan Dan alone like Li Xin.

"It's still a little bit, if I want to be promoted to a lesser master, I'm afraid I can only do it to him."

Zhao Tuo's gaze looked to the east again.

This time, his eyes were full of fire.

In the past few days, the Qin army sentinels from the east and the people in Huainan have successively transmitted the latest information.

"The state of Chu ordered Yin Xiangyan to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the east of Huaishui to cross the river to the south."

"Xiong Qi, a rebel who was sent to Jiangdong by the King of Chu to appease the Yue people, also led Jiangdong's troops north to join Xiang Yan."

"Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi have nearly 100,000 troops, holding high the banner of anti-Qin in Huaiyin, and are calling on all feudal lords in Huainan to get together!"

"Historical Records: The Biography of Wang Jian": Wang Jianxing, please Meitian Mansion Garden Pond is very public. The First Emperor said: "The general is in charge, why worry about poverty? Wang Jian said: "For the king's general, he can't be a marquis if he has merit, so he and the king's countrymen, and the ministers also timely invite Yuanchi to be the descendants of the industry." The First Emperor laughed.
