Liu Yan followed Lu Xiang to the outside of the tent, and saw a eunuch with an arrogant expression standing outside, followed by several brocade guards, dressed in flying fish suits, wearing embroidered spring knives at his waist, and his momentum was extraordinary. Behind those few people, there were more than a dozen soldiers of the Beijing camp accompanied by horses, all of them in complete armor, and they were wearing bright red cloaks on the outside of the armor.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng and the others coming out, the eunuch drank again and said, "Lu Xiangsheng takes the order!" ”

Headed by Lu Xiangsheng, everyone knelt down to receive the order, and all the soldiers in the camp also knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Siye was solemn, the eunuch took a brocade box wrapped in yellow silk from the hand of a brocade guard next to him, and a dragon box with vermilion lacquer painted gold plate in it, he carefully took out the holy decree with a yellow silk dark dragon envelope from the box, and sang loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: ...... Slaves and thieves are in trouble for the country, the people are miserable, all my subjects are not sharpened their teeth, and now I hear that Lu Xiangsheng, the right attendant of the military department, has the strength to kill thieves, and I am very relieved! Lu Xiang was promoted to the secretary of the military department, and was given a sword of Shang Fang, a golden box rhino belt, a golden chest and a unicorn round neck, five hundred taels of silver, and 20 silver medals for the purpose of awarding merit before the battle......"

Lu Xiangsheng lay on the ground, unable to cry for a long time, and was extremely excited.

Liu Yan was lying behind Yang Guozhu, and when he heard Lu Xiangsheng's movement in front of him, he was also secretly happy for him, a loyal person like Lu Xiangsheng deserved such a reward.

Then the holy decree praised Yang Guozhu again, gave him a horse and two silver, and a pair of leather crown clothes, Liu Yan felt that Yang Guozhu's body in front of him couldn't help trembling.

Then Liu Yan couldn't help but perk up, and he even mentioned himself in the holy decree: "...... Liu Yan, the former defense officer of the Qianhu Household in the Lingshan Weixia River Village of the Shandong Dusi Jimo Battalion, first broke the Dongnu on the Yaoshan Mountain Road, beheaded dozens of people, and frustrated the arrogance of the fierce Hu, and I was happy! Now he led his troops to help Lu Xiangsheng's department, loyal and commendable, and gave a sword and armor, and two hundred taels of silver inside, which was passed on to the three armies and the people, and was regarded as a ......"

The eunuch talked a lot more, and finally read out: "Qin this! ”

Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Yan and others stood up at this time, shouting thanks, Lu Xiangsheng trembled his hands and respectfully accepted the holy decree.

Then Lu Xiangsheng took the gifts of Shang Fang's sword, flower silver, python satin and other gifts one by one, and Lu Xiangsheng kowtowed to thank him for each thing, and the eunuch handed over all the things, and said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile: "Lord Lu, congratulations." ”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly burst into tears, only to feel that the grievances he had suffered these days were worth it, he choked up and said: "Father-in-law, please stay in the camp for a while, Lu will express his gratitude, and bother his father-in-law to bring him back to Beijing." ”

The eunuch said, "Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

After Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly entered the tent, the eunuch looked left and right in the camp, and saw the smiles of the soldiers in the camp, many people almost jumped up, but he snorted a little dissatisfied, and finally his eyes stopped on Liu Yan's body, and said reservedly: "This is Liu Qianhu, right?" ”

Liu Yan hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, a eunuch like this must not be provoked, it was too difficult, and his hands were dirty, so he smiled and said: "There is a question from Father-in-law Lao, and the last general is exactly." ”

The eunuch's eyes scanned Liu Yan for a long time, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Liu Qianhu won a big victory last time, and the Jingshi spread it by himself. The holy order will be beheaded slaves in the West City stacked into a Beijing view, with seized slave flags and armor and other things, every day the audience is like a cloud, our family wants to watch, can not squeeze in. Liu Qianhu can be said to be a famous Beijing teacher. ”

Liu Yan was overjoyed in his heart, if these were true, it would be very meaningful for his future development, but he still said: "This is all thanks to Lord Futai and a group of Shangguan Huwei, and the general will not dare to take credit." ”

The eunuch snorted, and said with a smile: "Don't be arrogant or impatient, Liu Qianhu's future is limitless." ”

Liu Yan hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and praised the eunuch for his hard work to announce the decree and other words, so as not to snub the eunuch.

Everyone around looked at Liu Yan with an extremely envious look, and Yang Guozhu stood beside Liu Yan, with the same joy and envy in his heart. Leaving a name in a hundred battles, this is the highest expectation of a martial artist, and now Yang Guozhu and others know that Liu Yan has already fought with the Qing soldiers in Shandong, and has made a lot of military achievements, so that now he has been praised by the emperor, and he has also rewarded horses, silver and other things, Yang Guozhu and others are really looking forward to being as majestic as Liu Yan in their hearts.

Hu Dawei was happy for Yang Guozhu and Liu Yan, and Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Town, glanced at Liu Yan with great jealousy, but it was a pity that it was not himself who made the achievements. Then Wang Pu looked at the horse that the emperor rewarded Liu Yan with a keen eye, the horse was full of fiery red, and the horse was incomparable, and he had never seen such a horse in Datong Town.

Soon, Lu Xiangsheng walked out with a spring breeze on his face, handed a letter to the eunuch, the eunuch was full of smiles, and exchanged a few words with Lu Xiangsheng, but the more he said, the more ugly his face became, Lu Xiangsheng was in a very good mood at this time, and he didn't pay attention to it.

By the time the eunuch was about to leave and turned to leave, there was already a faint look of displeasure on his face.

Liu Yandu saw it in his eyes, and after a little thought in his heart, he understood the reason, since it was the reason why Lu Xiangsheng didn't give the eunuch Xie Yi.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen gave Lu Xiangsheng 500 taels of silver and 200 taels to himself, but the eunuch did not drop a tael of silver, and there must be a gap in his heart.

So Liu Yan hurriedly handed his silver box quietly to Lu Xiangsheng's personal general Chen An, and whispered to him to transfer the silver to the eunuch.

Chen An patted his forehead, glanced at Liu Yan gratefully, and hurriedly chased the eunuch with the silver box.

A little ghost like this, don't offend if you can, or you don't know what kind of trouble it will cause.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's spirit was still excited, and he didn't notice this matter, but Hu Dacheng, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and others saw it in their eyes, and Yang Guozhu nodded again and again, with an approving look on his face.

Then Lu Xiangsheng excitedly summoned the generals in the tent to give a condolence speech, asking them to return to the camp to gather the soldiers, and he wanted to read the emperor's holy decree in public.

Liu Yan's Xiahezhai New Army was camped on the edge, and at this time, only Miao Shao was beside Liu Yan, and there was a cadre of personal guards.

Liu Yan returned to his camp, recruited all the generals, and told the imperial decree and the three armies, and everyone was boiling. The emperor finally knew about the beheading victory of Yaoshan Mountain Road, and he was so rewarded, and all the soldiers shouted the emperor's sage.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yan also changed into the armor and sword given by the emperor himself. The armor is extremely fine, and there is a silk shirt inside, which can be worn in both cold and hot weather. The outer armor leaves, each piece has been tempered thousands of times, and the light is shining, which can be said to be a set of steel armor, light and fitting, and extremely strong protection. There are also red and green robes outside the armor, which are extremely bright, and then tie the cloak and wear the imperial steel sword that sharpens iron like clay, so that Liu Yan's whole person looks extremely energetic, and everyone below swallows their saliva.

Liu Yan posed a few poses by himself, which felt good, but unfortunately he didn't have a camera, so he couldn't save his heroic appearance for future generations to admire.

At this time, more than 10,000 people in the three towns of Xuanda all gathered outside the camp to the west, and on the high platform temporarily erected in front, Lu Xiangsheng stood on the platform and read the holy decree loudly. Sweeping away the decline of the past, Lu Xiangsheng's spirit was bright, and his voice spread far away.

The soldiers who seemed to be covering the ground in the audience were all looking in his direction, and everyone's faces were full of energy, and the news of the emperor's imperial decree and commendation was too encouraging to them. The earth was silent, except for the sound of Lu Xiangsheng's inhibition and frustration, it was the howling of the cold wind like a wolf's howl.

When they heard the holy decree's praise to Liu Yan, the defender of the Qianhu Guards in the Lingshan Weixia River Village of Jimo Camp in Shandong, everyone's eyes were on Liu Yan's side. With this holy decree, the name of Liu Qianhu, the capital of Shandong, will be spread all over the world.

Liu Yan stood quietly in armor, with swords and guns beside him, and flags like clouds, especially the soldiers of the Xiahezhai New Army, all of whom stood up with their chests and bellies, standing straight, and everyone's faces were full of pride and pride. Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's voice and the gaze of all the people, Liu Yan secretly exhaled a breath, this time his momentum was built.

Now that he has changed his fate, made his life colorful, and changed part of Lu Xiangsheng's fate, what is the future, can he control it?

I don't know when, Lu Xiangsheng's voice stopped, and a voice came out from somewhere in the army: "Long live!" Immediately, the voice converged into a mountain and a tsunami, rolling close to Liu Yan's side.

Liu Yan also didn't think twice, and shouted with everyone: "Long live, long live, long live!"

On that day, Lu Xiangsheng was in high spirits, loudly admonished and encouraged on the high platform, and also made an alliance with the generals to fight the captives, and Liu Yan also drank a large bowl of blood and water.

On the spot, Lu Xiangsheng also rewarded the soldiers with all the silver that the emperor had given him, and he did not leave a tael of silver.

The momentum of the army was high, but the Xuanda official army had been hungry and tired for a long time, and the tens of thousands of troops still needed to rest under the city of Baoding for several days.

It seems that Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, heard the news of the emperor's edict and encouragement, and the next day he sent people to invite the Xuanda official army to enter the city to rest, and also sent people to send 200 stone of grain and 10 pigs and sheep to the army.

Lu Xiangsheng accepted the grain, grass, pigs and sheep, and ignored Zhang Qiping's invitation to enter the city.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng decided to go south, looking for Qing troops to fight, and for several days he was gathering generals to discuss the matter of facing the enemy.

Every time Liu Yan is present, he is now a celebrity in the army, and the emperor praises him for his commendation, this kind of honor is not something that can be obtained casually.

Every time Liu Yan walked outside the camp, the people he met either worshipped, admired, jealous, or unconvinced, and many people were eager to try, looking like they wanted to challenge.

For those who want to challenge, Liu Yan of course has no interest, he is good in the army, and the emperor rewards the ability to command battles, and he is not interested in fighting alone. Although Liu Yan is not afraid when it comes to single-handedness, he hasn't fought with anyone for a long time, and his hands are a little itchy, but now his identity and status are different, and he can no longer be the same as when he was a soldier before.

Liu Yan every time he went to the camp tents, everyone also greeted each other with a smile, first, Liu Yan sent food thousands of miles, and the soldiers in each town were grateful, and secondly, Liu Yan had a great victory in the Yaoshan Mountain Road, and the strength of dozens of beheadings also won the respect of everyone. At the same time as welcoming the generals to the send-off, Liu Yan also found that there were a lot of good things in the army.

Taking Lu Xiangsheng's Biao Battalion as an example, although there are only a few hundred people left, it is equipped with a large number of sophisticated bird guns and three-eyed guns, as well as 100 self-generated guns, 100 Lumi guns, and 5 Hongyi cannons, all of which are six-pounder guns.

Liu Yan is still working the self-generated fire gun and the Lumi gun, but there are so many equipment in the superintendent camp. Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's personal general Chen An, Lu Mi has been in use in the standard battalion for several years, and the newly created self-generated fire gun has also been used in the army for more than a year.

The range of the Lumi gun is 150 steps, and although the mouth of the gun is small, it is 100 steps away from the enemy, but the armor-piercing ability is very strong. Liu Yan also took a Lu Mi Gong to watch, the gun body is heavy, it is really a double-layer gun tube, and it is well-built, there is no worry about quality, Lu Xiangsheng has been working hard in Xuanda for several years, and Lu Mi Gong is one of the results.

Chen An naturally cherishes the Lu Mi gun very much, but when it comes to the self-generated fire gun, Chen An also said helplessly, although the gun is much more convenient than the bird gun and does not need a fire rope, but it also has many defects. The officers and men in the supervising battalion, when it comes to personal bravery, I am afraid that there is only a night in their own army that can be compared. Liu Yan secretly rejoiced, fortunately, fighting in the army did not rely on personal bravery.

A few days later, Lu Xiangsheng led more than 13,000 Xuanda soldiers and more than 3,700 Liu Yan's troops to leave Baoding City to find Qing soldiers to fight.

Some people died, but not completely......
