Chapter 538: Title!
"Do you live in the castle guard?"
This key point was not only understood by Zhang He, but also by Zhao Jun, so he asked directly.
Zhang He was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "After the Heyuan City Wall is high, there are still nearly 80,000 defenders in the city, which should be able to buy enough time for the imperial court, and when the new defense line of the imperial court is established, he can go to support Heyuan City, and the pressure he faces will be a little less." ”
Zhao Duan glanced at him deeply, and then asked, "Who is the guard of Heyuan City?" ”
Zhang He immediately replied: "Chen Duling, the former deputy general of Yumen Pass, made military exploits when the Xiongnu entered the Kou the year before last, and was transferred to Heyuan City to serve as the garrison of Heyuan City, and he was in charge of the military of Heyuan City. ”
Zhao Duan was a little puzzled after hearing this, this name seemed to be a little familiar, so he asked: "What does he have to do with Chen Du, the guard of the Jade Gate?" ”
Zhang He immediately reached: "He is the son of Chen Du."
The Chen family father and son joined the army in the same year, and they were both promoted to their current positions based on their military exploits. ”
The subtext of Zhang He's words is that the father and son have real talents and learning, not those indiscriminate garbage in the army, they can be trusted to defend the city.
After Zhao Duan heard this, he immediately asked Cao Shuang to go to the military department to transfer the files of the father and son.
When Cao Shuang came back and got the file of the father and son, Zhao Duan opened it and took a look, and sure enough, the father and son were rare generals in the army who rose to their current position with their military exploits, and even with their position, if it wasn't for the management they didn't understand, and they didn't steal from some people, maybe they could be higher.
After reading their files, Zhao Duan immediately closed the files in his hand and said loudly:
"Okay, in that case, then I'll leave it to him.
The decree was sent to the original city of Chen Turin, ordering him to give the imperial court a month to hold on anyway, and to give the imperial court time to rebuild the defense line in the east of the river.
If it can be successfully done, I will not hesitate to reward it!
I still give an earl title.
But if he doesn't keep it, then don't blame me for his sins! ”
Wow!
As soon as Zhao Duan's words came out, the court instantly set off an uproar!
Why?
This is a knighthood!
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, those who want to obtain the title from the royal family are all people who have made great contributions.
To this day, there are no more than five knighthoods awarded after the founding of the country!
Today, His Majesty generously said that he would seal a knighthood and go out, how could this not make everyone shocked?
It can be said that at this moment, the eyes of all the officials are red!
Don't look at them as officials in the court now, maybe their positions are very high, but this is only temporary, sooner or later they will return to their hometowns.
And when they leave their current position and return to their hometown, it will be a situation where people will go to tea and cool, and a new generation will replace the old, even the previous connections in the court can still be used, but it won't take long.
People go to tea and cool, this sentence is not just talking.
But if there is a title, according to the principle of decreasing titles in the Great Song Dynasty.
A single earl title can guarantee the wealth of at least three generations of the family.
And if you make a contribution during this period, maybe it can last longer.
How can this not make them envious?
They were envious, jealous and hateful underneath, Zhao Duan sat on the dragon chair on the stage, silently taking in their eyes, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
Envy, right? But my title is only for meritorious people, it seems that people like you and other corpses still want to be knighted, you are thinking about fart, you also deserve it!?
Immediately after that, the court meeting discussed other specific matters for building a defense line, and when everything was properly discussed, today's court meeting will be considered to be over.
Immediately after receiving the order, the various departments began to prepare intensively, and at the same time, a holy decree was sent from Bianjing to Heyuan City.
Soon, under the urgency of eight hundred miles, the holy decree was received by Heyuan City, which was blocked by the Huns, and Chen Turin was also stunned when he received the holy decree.
When the father-in-law who announced the decree went down to rest, Chen Duling didn't come back to his senses, and looked at the holy decree in his hand in a trance blankly.
Knighted? It's at your fingertips!
"General! Checkmate! ”
Suddenly, several calls from the adjutant called him back from his trance.
As soon as he looked up, he saw that all his generals looked at him with envious eyes.
Immediately seal the marquis, this is the highest honor of a soldier!
Now that the guards of their own family have this opportunity, the saints have already made a golden mouth, as long as their own master will defend Heyuan City, then the title of this earl is certain!
"Congratulations General!"
"Congratulations General!"
In the midst of the congratulations, Chen Turin also completely recovered from his stunned and trance state, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You don't have to rush to congratulate, it's not that simple at this time. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to get this title in the end. ”
Hearing this, the generals gradually fell silent, and remembered the premise of obtaining this title, that is, they Heyuan City should give the imperial court at least a month to arrange a new defense line, so as to block the attack of the Huns and the raging range.
At this moment, there are still 200,000 forbidden troops of the Hun royal court outside the city!
It's really not that easy to get.
After thinking for a while, everyone immediately gritted their teeth and said: "Don't worry, general, we will go all out to help the general defend this Heyuan city, so that the general can get the title, and ask the general to take care of it in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Turin instantly understood what they meant, this is to take sides.
This is seeing that he is about to get up, so he has come to stand in line, and he really needs the entire Heyuan City to work together to defend the city, otherwise if the city is broken, let alone the title, he can't keep his life, so he naturally won't refuse, and he accepted it on the spot.
"In the future, if I Chen Turin has a bite to eat, I will definitely not disappoint everyone!"
……
In the camp of the Huns.
"Shan Yu, the number of deaths in the siege today is more than twice as high as in previous days, and the resistance of the defenders of Heyuan City seems to be unusually high today, I don't know why?"
In the big tent, Tira was listening to the report of his subordinates, and glanced to the side suspiciously, and the leader of the Falcon Court immediately replied: "Reply to Shan Yu, according to the information, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty seems to have promised the general of Heyuan City, and if he can hold Heyuan City for a month, he will be knighted."
That's why the resistance of Heyuan City today is so fierce. ”
"Knighted?"
Tila muttered these two words and then grinned: "If you want to get the knighthood by blocking us, let's see if he has the ability!"
One month? Hehe, at most half a month, this single Yu will definitely take this Heyuan City!
When the time comes, Ben Shan Yu will use the head of this future Song nobleman to make a wine vessel and use it to drink! ”
Whoa!
The Hun generals in the camp immediately knelt together.
"We will definitely take Heyuan City for Shan Yu, and take Na Shou to make the head into a wine vessel! May the heavens of eternal life bless you! Great Xiongnu Shan Yu, your will is the instructions of the Immortal Heaven to the world! ”
With a smile in her eyes, Tila said to everyone:
"Immortal Heaven will bless the warriors of the grassland!
Go, go and show the bravery of your Hun men, and show those cowardly Song people! ”
