Chapter 8 One step to soar, the official title of General Xuanwei
A few days later, because the northern border was not far from here, the herald quickly arrived in Shenjing City.
"Great victory in the north, great victory in the north!"
The whole Shenjing City was in a sensation, and everyone wondered if their ears had heard it wrong, a great victory in the north?
If memory serves, the Great Zhou has not won on the frontier for more than twenty years.
At the same time, in the imperial palace, the emperor Jingwen was handling government affairs in the imperial study.
"Alas, the consequences of the war in the north are unpredictable, and the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River has been delayed for a long time, and even the food and salary of the soldiers in the north have become a problem."
Emperor Jingwen had a headache, and Emperor Taishang ran to Longshou Palace to be chic, but he left a mess for himself.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
And at this moment, the eunuch Dai Quan ran in excitedly.
Emperor Jingwen looked at Dai Quan curiously, Dai Quan is a person from his own hidden mansion, and he is usually very steady, is there something big happening in such a panic?
"What's so alarming?"
Emperor Jingwen asked Dai Quan.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed! Great victory in the north, behead 3,000 Tartars! ”
Dai Quan, the old eunuch, blushed with excitement, because he knew how worried the imperial court had been about the war in the north recently.
"What?"
Emperor Jingwen stood up excitedly, the hand hidden under the cuffs was trembling slightly, but the identity of the emperor made him suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Hurry up!"
Emperor Jing Wen shouted and said, Dai Quan hurriedly handed over the good news, and when he saw the content, Emperor Jing Wen was stunned, just because the content of the good news was too unbelievable.
The hundred-man squad encountered 3,000 Tatar cavalry, but at the cost of only a few dozen people, they completely destroyed 3,000 Tatar cavalry.
To be honest, this battle report can't be believed by anyone, let alone three thousand Tartars, even if it is three hundred Tartars, such a battle loss ratio is an unimaginable victory.
"Your Majesty, the embroidered guards have already investigated, and the heads of the three thousand Tartars are undoubted, and the news from the Tartars that they are also quite angry about the loss of these three thousand cavalry."
Dai Quan said.
Hearing that the embroidered guards had already confirmed the result of the battle, Emperor Jingwen did not doubt it at the moment, and then he was excited.
"Good, good, good! Such a big victory can greatly boost morale before the start of the big war, and it has a great impact on the entire battle situation. ”
Looking at the excited Emperor Jingwen, Dai Quan hesitated for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing."
Then Dai Quan told Lin Hao about killing Wang Chong, but as expected, Emperor Jingwen was really not angry.
After all, for Emperor Jing Wen, how can a mere captain be compared to a fierce general who can fight well?
"Who is Wang Chong?"
Emperor Jingwen asked, he dared to collude with the Tartars, this courage was really monstrous.
"Your Majesty, that Wang Chong is Lord Wang's nephew."
Listening to Dai Quan's words, a cold light flashed in Emperor Jingwen's eyes, Wang Ziteng?
Sure enough, these nobles are really bold, a nephew of the envoy of the Beijing Camp Festival, actually dared to collude with the Tartars to kill the soldiers of the Great Zhou, what else did they dare not do?
But Emperor Jingwen also knew that he couldn't make a move on the prince, at least not now, after all, this war still relied on these nobles.
"Xuan Baiguan goes to court!"
Emperor Jing Wen said directly.
In the subsequent court, Lin Hao's achievements shook the entire court, and the hundred officials naturally didn't believe it, but when they learned that this matter was confirmed by the embroidered guards, they were silent.
After all, it was an embroidered guard, and the existence that frightened the officials of the court was certainly not as majestic as it was at the beginning, but the intelligence skills were still there.
Emperor Jingwen, who was extremely excited, was going to seal Lin Hao at the moment, and he had no trustworthy generals in the army, and Lin Hao's appearance made his heart hot.
So in the end, Jingwen Dili overrode public opinion, directly named Lin Hao as the general of Xuanwei, and led the Xiao cavalry battalion of 30,000 iron horses.
General Xuanwei is a general of the Great Fourth Grade, and he can lead a battalion of 30,000 soldiers and horses, so it can be said that Lin Hao is really a soaring man.
As for the title, it was not not given, because Emperor Jingwen wanted to win over Lin Hao and thus get involved in the military power, so he put all the titles on the military position, otherwise Lin Hao would not be able to become the commander of the cavalry battalion.
But it's enough, from the hundred generals of the ninth rank to the Xuanwei general of the fourth grade, and there has been no such promotion in all dynasties.
After the next dynasty, people from all sides began to inquire about Lin Hao, after all, Lin Hao's record is too rebellious, everyone knows that if such an existence does not die, it will definitely become a bright general in the Great Zhou army, and even a person who carries the crown.
The only unhappy thing is the Wang family, because of Wang Chong's matter, Lin Hao naturally does not deal with the Wang family, so the rise of such a new star certainly makes the Wang family quite vigilant.
But at such a critical moment, even Wang Ziteng didn't dare to continue to deal with Lin Hao, after all, Wang Chong's matter had already caused His Majesty to warn their Wang family.
Even the Emperor Taishang is quite dissatisfied, after all, it is not bad for the Emperor Taishang to compete with His Majesty for imperial power, but the premise is that the world is still their royal.
Wang Chong's actions were already endangering the country, so even if Wang Ziteng was the emperor's person, he was still warned.
At the same time, in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng also talked about this matter with Jia's mother after he went to court.
"The four major families are in the same spirit, it seems that this Xuanwei general will not deal with our four major families in the future."
Jia Mu sighed and said, after all, no matter how you look at Lin Hao's posture, he looks like he is rising.
Now that he has an official position, all Lin Hao lacks at this time is a title, and if he makes another meritorious service, this title will definitely not be able to run.
But in fact, neither the Jia family nor the Wang family took this matter to heart, just because everyone didn't think that Lin Hao could really survive this battle.
It is not a good thing to perform well, Lin Hao's strong strength will inevitably be reused by Niu Jizong, and then he will often do some dangerous tasks, or use it on the frontal battlefield, after all, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is one of the few cavalry units in the Great Zhou.
Under such circumstances, every time he fights, he will die and die, and in this case, there is a great possibility that Lin Hao will not come back alive.
......
...... the Northland
Since becoming the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, Lin Hao's usual restrictions have been much less.
The Xiao cavalry battalion is the only organized cavalry battalion in the Great Zhou, and the 30,000 cavalry can be said to be the family of the Great Zhou, even Niu Jizong usually can't dictate the Xiao cavalry battalion, so Lin Hao's life is very leisurely, and occasionally he takes the zombie soldiers out to hunt in the autumn wind, and no one will stop him.
Of course, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is no longer as powerful as it was in the founding of the country, after all, there are too many gilded noble children, but this has nothing to do with Lin Hao, because his ultimate goal is to become stronger by sucking blood on the battlefield.
But when he came out of the tent one day, Lin Hao was directly stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Hao looked at the hot training in front of him, and asked Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu in confusion.
"General Qiyu, we are training the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and as your soldier, it is simply a shame for you, General, to be so weak."
"So I am thinking about training them with Liu Wu, and strive to make them strong as soon as possible and serve you, the general."
Liu Zhuang said angrily.
Lin Hao was full of question marks, he didn't have this idea!
But looking at the passionate appearance of Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu, as well as the other seventy zombies under his command, Lin Hao really couldn't bear to hit their enthusiasm.
"Forget it, you can do it yourself."
Lin Hao waved his hand helplessly, anyway, he didn't need to train by himself, they could do whatever they liked.
