A knight on a fast horse bumpeds on horseback and gallops all the way.

The knight had a feather feather on his back, and at first glance he knew that he was a messenger in the army, which attracted the awe-inspiring eyes of the farmers on the roadside.

It was the knight sent by Qu Ping to report to Yingdu.

Of course, the king of Chu had known about the great victories and results on the front line for a long time - but those good news were only a brief sentence or two, briefly explaining the key information such as the battle situation and the location of the army.

This time, however, the messenger brought with him a large number of documents, such as the book of merit and the details of the war.

These things should be sent to the palace as soon as possible before the army is in charge.

In this way, the king of Chu and the courtiers can review it in advance and discuss how to reward it.

In this way, when the army arrives in Yingdu, it is just right to reward meritorious deeds in public and encourage the morale of the army and the people.

……

Chu Wang Mihuai was in an excellent mood.

In the first two years, he was stunned by Zhang Yi, and then he was beaten by Qin Guo and fought a big defeat in Danyang, and the entire Great Chu was in a downturn.

Even many people are secretly saying that today's Chu Wanghuai is a fool who is very good at fooling.

What about today? The state of Chu was silent and fought a beautiful victory!

Expand the land for thousands of miles! This is a rare victory!

With this merit alone, Mi Huai thinks that he can be regarded as a Ming Jun in his life......

I am a pioneering and enterprising king!

At this time, King Chu Huai, immersed in the joy of victory, completely forgot that just two years ago, the Qin State had just taken away thousands of miles of fertile land from his hands......

Cough! Straight to the point!

King Chu Huai already knew the news of Qu Ping's victory, but it was not clear how the battle was fought and whose credit was great.

At the moment, he anxiously waited for the messenger who could deliver these details.

Qu Ping and the other generals have made such great contributions to my Great Chu Country, so they naturally want to be rewarded! Let the ministers see, I'm a meritorious and rewarding gentleman! Set a positive example for the ministers!

Call on the ministers to learn from these commended model workers.

In the future, I will work harder and work harder for my Mishi Group!

"Great King, the envoy of the general of the Pillar Kingdom has arrived at the gate of the palace." A chamberlain lowered his eyebrows and came in to report.

King Chu Huai was excited and stood up!

"Please!"

"Wait...... Call the prince too! ”

King Chu Huai decided to practice it himself, and let the crown prince Mi Heng learn how to reward his courtiers for meritorious deeds, and feel the king's way of control in advance.

……

The Hall of Politics.

The king of Chu sat on the throne, and the crown prince Mi Heng sat on the lower hand.

The messenger with a feather feather on his back walked into the main hall, saluted the king and the crown prince of Chu respectfully, and then presented the book in the tray in his hand with both hands.

King Chu Huai opened the book with anticipation on his face and slowly flipped through it, while the messenger on the side whispered to the side, supplementing and explaining the contents of the book.

At first glance, King Chu Huai only felt that there was a name that seemed to appear very frequently!

Ha?

Qu Yangjun?

Isn't this my waste nephew?

King Chu Huai took a closer look and opened his mouth wide!

In these thick rolls of bamboo slips, Xiong Wuliang's name was mentioned at great length! Between the words, Qu Ping seemed to have a lot of respect for this little Qu Yangjun!

Dedicated a catapult to help Qu Ping break Jianyang City......

Outnumbered in Jianyang City, he held out for seven days......

He waved his army to the north and broke through the three counties of [Guangbei], [Jiuping], and [Yunan]......

In the end, Qu Ping said pertinently: Xiong Wuliang's Quyang County has successfully completed the logistics support work, strongly supported the smooth advance of the army, and played a key role in the final victory of this campaign......

……

King Chu Huai is stupid!

In the entire merit book, the length of Xiong Wuliang accounts for a quarter!

"Take it and see." King Chu Huai handed the bamboo slip to the crown prince Mi Heng.

Mi Heng opened it and looked at it, and his mouth couldn't close!

"This ...... True? ”

The messenger bowed respectfully and said, "Where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come from, this is a military report, how dare you fake it?" ”

I'll go, my brother is so fierce!

For a while, Prince Mi Heng was envious and admired.

Envy Xiong Wuliang for being able to show off in such a war against Vietnam.

admires Xiong Wuliang for not only governing his Quyang County in peace and contentment, but also having such a ability to lead troops to fight!

"I never thought that my brother would have such skills!" Mi Heng laughed!

Such a young man who can fight on a horse and govern the people when he gets off a horse is considered by everyone to be a waste!

What a blind dog's eye!

What is it called? This is called talent!

In the past dynasties, there were famous ministers and good generals around him, such as King Wu of Chu; King Chu Cheng has Ziwen and Cheng Dechen; King Chu Wei has Zhaoyang; The king of Chu mourns Wu Qi......

Xiong Wuliang, Wu Qiye, is my Wuqi!

In the future, the crown prince will be enthroned as the king, and Quyang Jun Miliang will be the widow's humerus minister!

Looking at the prince's shocked expression, King Chu Huai couldn't help laughing: "Mi Liang has made a lot of progress, if the widowed Wang Brother Quanxia knows, he must also laugh at Jiuquan." ”

"At the beginning, the widow left him in the palace to listen to the government, and his words and deeds taught him day after day finally had an effect!"

"Xiong Wuliang, he has the demeanor of a widow when he was young!"

King Chu Huai looked at the crown prince Mi Heng again, and Chunchun taught-

"Mi Heng, you and Xiong Wuliang are brothers, and they have always been close."

"In the future, you must be closer, and when you become the king of Dachu in the future, this is your confidant!"

The prince nodded horizontally, only yes.

King Chu Huai laughed twice: "Where is the inner servant?" ”

"Summoning the ministers into the palace, the widow should discuss with the ministers how to reward meritorious deeds!"

……

Soon, all the ministers of the Chu State came to the political hall, and when they saw that the King of Chu had already sat on the throne and waited, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Seeing that the ministers had arrived, King Chu Huai waved his hand and signaled to start.

"Today's summoning of the ministers is to discuss the meritorious deeds and reward the meritorious heroes after the crusade against the Yue Kingdom......"

The ministers are excited!

The anti-Qin faction who stood on Qu Yuan's side changed the law, and their eyes lit up!

This time, the main general Qu Ping is Qu Yuan's brother, and after this battle, the status of the anti-Qin faction will be greatly increased!

On Zhao Ju's side, his face was a little not good-looking.

On the side of King Chu Huai, an attendant held up the bamboo slip sent back by Qu Ping, and read it in a frustrated manner......

When the ministers heard this, they were all stunned.

Mi Liang? Who is this?

Oh remember, Xiong Wei's only son, Qu Yangjun, who was the new lord last year.

Didn't you say it's a lazy thing? Idle all day long, no learning and no skills.

How does this not sound like this?

It seems to be the mainstay who can stand alone in this battle of Raiding Vietnam!

The more Zhao Ju listened, the more unsightly his face became.

This Xiong Wuliang, when he spoke in the palace of political affairs, strengthened the king's determination to resist Qin, and made the king tend to Qu Yuan's idea of changing the law and resisting Qin when choosing a diplomatic route.

This time he fought with Qu Ping, and he was so respected by Qu Ping.

This person, even if he is not Qu Yuan's party, must be in a warm relationship with Qu Yuan's party.

Such a rising star in the political arena is really a threat!

Not to mention Xiong Wuliang's uncertain factor that tends to favor Qu Yuan, or the trusted cronies of the prince Mi Heng (the prince went to Quyang County to hunt, and also cleaned up the Shaohu pirates side by side with Xiong Wuliang, and all the ministers know it), and he will be positioned as a high authority in the future...... Sooner or later it's a scourge!

Between Zhao Ju's thoughts, the inner servant had finished reading.

All the ministers in the palace bowed their hands and congratulated: "Da Chu pacifies the eastern troubles, expands the land for thousands of miles, and the ministers congratulate the king!" ”

"Great Chu Wansheng!"

The King of Chu coughed majestically: "The soldiers who shed blood and made meritorious contributions to my Great Chu Country will not be treated harshly!" ”

"In this battle, all the dead and wounded soldiers will be given preferential pensions!"

"All soldiers, regardless of their birth and status, will be rewarded according to the size of their battlefield merits!"

Subsequently, the king of Chu discussed with his ministers the rewards of Qu Ping and other generals.

Each has its own rewards, and they are basically all heavy rewards, which shows that the King of Chu is indeed happy for this battle.

Finally, he talked about Xiong Wuliang, the commander of the rear army......

All the ministers set their eyes on the king of Chu - Xiong Wuliang made great contributions in this war against Vietnam, and how to reward him, the king of Chu had to open his mouth first to set the tone.

This person is the son of the royal family, and he is already a feudal king, so he can be regarded as a reward.

I guess it's just a matter of giving some money.

The King of Chu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Expanding the land for thousands of miles is a great achievement, Quyang Jun Miliang has made outstanding achievements in this battle, and he has even more merits to win the game - the widow is determined to expand the fief for Quyang Jun!" ”

"In addition to Quyang County, the two counties of [Ping'a] and [Shansang] will be assigned to Quyangjun as fiefs!"

"The people of the above two counties are all Quyang Jun food."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

The ministers' minds were spinning.

The two counties of Ping'a and Shansang are both bordering Quyang County and are located in the north of Quyang County.

At first glance, this is a bit outrageous—this is the land of two counties! Just assigned to Quyang Jun Xiong Wuliang, that hairy boy?

But if you think about it, most people can accept it!

In the two counties mentioned by the king of Chu, most of the land is mountainous, and there are few flat fertile fields.

Moreover, the population of these two counties is also very small, and the total number of households is about 1,000, including the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the total population is 5,000 or 6,000.

Compared with Quyang County, a large county with 3,000 households and nearly 20,000 people, it is really too far behind.

Besides, Xiong Wuliang has indeed made a great contribution - if Xiong Wuliang hadn't held Jianyang City, it is still a matter of how much Qu Ping's 150,000 army would have come back, let alone the hearty victory now.

Compared with the expansion of thousands of miles of land and hundreds of thousands of people, the two barren counties of Ping'a and Shansang are really nothing.

Besides, the son of Miliang is also a close vein of the royal family, and the king of Chu wants to add a fief and food to him, which is considered a family matter of the royal family, and the ministers are too lazy to intervene.

It makes sense.

The ministers began to nod slowly, indicating that they had no opinion.

"The king is wise."

"Such a reward is indeed reasonable."

"There is neither an overly rich reward, nor a chill in the hearts of meritorious soldiers......"

At this time, an inopportune voice suddenly came!

I saw a person step forward: "The king, after all, the son of Mi Liang is young, such a reward, the old minister thinks that it is still too heavy for the young man, and please think twice......
