[PS: Upload first, then check for typos]
"Yuxian is here, sit in the house quickly."
"Brother-in-law, Sister Shiyin."
"General Bai, eldest lady."
β.β
After dinner, Bai Yuxian and Han Shiyin came to the Han Mansion in a carriage.
At this time, it was already night, and the Han family was at home, and when they learned that Bai Yuxian and Han Shiyin were coming, the Zhou family also took Han Yu, Han Lin's brothers and sisters, and the whole house to greet them for the first time.
"Auntie doesn't have to be too polite to work, it's all a family, you don't need to care about these false courtesies, I don't know if my father-in-law can be at home." Bai Yuxian said with a smile.
"Here, your father-in-law was just in the study, and I'll ask Yu'er to take you there."
"Okay." Bai Yuxian immediately smiled and nodded, and said to Han Shiyin: "You and Aunt Lin will talk first, and I will go and talk to my father-in-law first." β
"Hmm."
Han Shiyin nodded obediently, and Zhou immediately greeted Han Shiyin warmly, asking Han Yu to take Bai Yuxian to Han Su's side, knowing that Bai Yuxian must have something to talk to her husband Weng and son-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, we're here."
Bai Yuxian followed Han Yu towards Han Su's study.
After a short time, he came to Han Su's side, and at this time, Han Su had already learned that Bai Yuxian had arrived, and he just came out of the study to meet Bai Yuxian.
"Yuxian has seen her father-in-law." Seeing Han Su, Bai Yuxian immediately bowed.
"It's all a family, so you don't have to be so polite in private." Seeing Bai Yuxian, Han Su's face suddenly showed a smile, waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the living room and say, retreat and let the next person make a pot of tea." β
Bai Yuxian and Han Su Weng's son-in-law immediately came to the living room of the Han family.
"Originally, when I learned that the number of thieves in Hongqing Mountain had increased and the force had reached more than 70,000 people, I was still a little worried that it would be unfavorable for you to calm the chaos, and even His Majesty was ready to send another army to Xiangzhou to support you, but I didn't expect that when the court just discussed this matter and argued endlessly, you fought a big victory first, and I didn't expect that in just over a month, you have already pacified the entire Hongqing Mountain."
After sitting down in the living room, Han Su also looked at Bai Yuxian and couldn't help but sigh.
This time, Bai Yuxian's performance really shocked everyone in the entire Jingshi.
More than 70,000 Hongqingshan thieves were pacified by Bai Yuxian in more than a month, and more than 50,000 people were directly annihilated and 20,000 were captured, which can almost be said to have swept away the entire Hongqingshan bandits.
Such a brilliant result is not unimpressive.
This undoubtedly once again proves Bai Yuxian's ability.
"My father-in-law has an overreputation, although Hongqingshan is powerful, but after all, it is just a group of reckless and rabble people, although there are many people, but the march and battle are like a plate of loose sand, defeating a group of gangsters and robbers, it is not something worthy of praise and show-off."
Hearing this, Bai Yuxian shook his head with a smile and said.
For the pacification of Hongqing Mountain this time, Bai Yuxian didn't feel that there was anything too worth showing off.
Han Su couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he heard Bai Yuxian's calm expression, this time the Hongqing Mountain Turmoil was so victorious, but Bai Yuxian could still remain calm and humble, without the slightest pride, in terms of this mentality, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
"You don't need to be too humble, if such a big victory is not commendable, then how many things are praiseworthy in the world, and although there are many rabble, but the number of people is large, no matter how much rabble there is, otherwise how can Liu Funan be defeated, but more than 30,000 troops can be beaten by more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hongqingshan, this person can be regarded as a capable person."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank this person for such a merit this time, if it weren't for this person's defeat, Hongqing Mountain would not have developed to such a scale, and I would not have had the opportunity to make such a great contribution."
"That's true, haha."
Speaking of Liu Funan, Weng and his son-in-law couldn't help laughing again.
"This time you pacified the Hongqingshan turmoil so outstanding, Your Majesty must be more serious to you, a few days ago I heard Li Xiangyan, His Majesty intends to directly promote you to the general of the forbidden army, the previous battle report in Hongqingshan Pingding came on the same day, Your Majesty also Li Xiang, the crown prince and Nanguo Gong and many other civil and military ministers of the court and the middle of the court and the third rank or more summoned to the palace to propose to inquire about the matter." Han Su said again, telling Bai Yuxian an important news.
If Bai Yuxian was really promoted to the general of the forbidden army, then his position would inevitably be promoted to the third grade.
And Sanpin is also a hurdle for officials, whether it is a civilian official or a military attachΓ©, as long as he is promoted to Sanpin, it is undoubtedly equivalent to entering the top level of the Tang Dynasty officialdom, especially Bai Yuxian, a powerful military general who directly leads an army, and his status is needless to say.
If he could really take this opportunity to be promoted to the general of the forbidden army, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for Bai Yuxian.
Although this will definitely attract some doubts again, Bai Yuxian is not worried, because as long as there is a war in the future, he is confident that he will use real achievements to make those doubts disappear.
For Bai Yuxian, as long as he can firmly grasp the importance that Li Longji, the Son of Heaven, attaches to him, and don't let Li Longji disappoint him.
As for the other doubts, they can be ignored.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but move: "I don't know what the final result is?" β
"It is reported that the opposition was a bit loud that day, in addition to Li Xiang and I and many other civil ministers agreed, other princes and princes and officials of the prince's family and the prince Wuxun present all raised objections on many grounds such as seniority, and in the end, because the opposition was relatively loud, Your Majesty did not say anything more, and it was over, as for the final result, it depends on Your Majesty's will." Han Su said.
Bai Yuxian was not too surprised when he heard this, he was not too surprised, with his current qualifications, it was indeed easy to be questioned if he wanted to be directly promoted to general.
However, Bai Yuxian didn't care too much, because for him, the main purpose of this battle was to completely stabilize his current position as the commander of the Tiance Army, and eliminate the original doubts, as long as his current position as the commander of the Tiance Army was stabilized, even if he could not be promoted, it would be enough for Bai Yuxian.
Anyway, as long as he can stabilize the position of the current commander of the Tiance Army, then the future position of the general of the forbidden army is basically in his pocket, and the difference is only a matter of time.
Of course, it would be best if it could be directly promoted this time.
After all, if you are promoted to general as soon as possible, you will be able to win titles and other official positions faster if you make meritorious service later.
Especially the festival degree envoy, this is Bai Yuxian's biggest goal.
Today, there are ten major military towns in Datang.
Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Hedong, Longyou, Shuofang, Fanyang, Pinglu, Jiannan, Lingnan.
Theoretically speaking, a military town can have a jiedu envoy, and the jiedu envoy is in charge of the entire military and political power of the locality, and can be regarded as a prince.
The pattern of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion also came from this.
Now there are only ten military towns in the Tang Dynasty, and after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, there will be more military towns in the Tang Dynasty, and it is precisely because of this that it is difficult for the central court of the Tang Dynasty to curb the power of local feudal towns.
In the Anshi Rebellion, when An Lushan raised his army, he was also the envoy of the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong, with an army of 150,000, which gave An Lushan the ambition and sufficient strength to rebel.
If Bai Yuxian wants to seize the world after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the best thing for him to do is to become a Jiedu enabler to occupy one side before the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, so as to accumulate and cultivate his own power, so that after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, he will be qualified to compete for the world.
But now he is still a little far away if he wants to become a festival envoy.
And it also takes an opportunity to become a festival envoy.
Therefore, Bai Yuxian still needs to continue to work hard in the future.
Later, he talked with his father-in-law, Han Su, and Weng's son-in-law about some court matters.
After sitting in the Han family for about half an hour, Bai Yuxian left from the Han family with Han Shiyin.
After sending Han Shiyin back to Tiance Mansion first, Bai Yuxian took advantage of the carriage to come to the gate of Wuhou Mansion alone.
Walking out of the carriage and looking at the gate and plaque of the Wuhou Mansion in front of him, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.
Speaking of the fact that since he moved out of Wuhou Mansion last year to establish Tiance Mansion, it has been almost a year, and Bai Yuxian has not come to Wuhou Mansion again.
Today is the first time I have come to Wuhou Mansion since moving into Tiance Mansion.
Revisiting the old place, Wuhou Mansion is still the same, but his Bai Yuxian is no longer the Bai Yuxian of the past, and he can't help but feel a little touched in his heart.
"Meet General Tiance!"
The few servants guarding the gate of Wuhou Mansion were taken aback when they saw Bai Yuxian coming out of the carriage, and then hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
"There is no need to be polite, I bothered to spread the news to the old lady and Uncle Zheng, and said that Yuxian took the liberty to come to visit."
Bai Yuxian smiled and said.
"Yes, yes, the general waits, and the little one will go and pass it on."
The little guy hurriedly ran towards the Wuhou Mansion with a quick sound.
Soon learned the news of Bai Yuxian's arrival, and the entire Wuhou Mansion was also instantly alarmed.
Old Taijun Bai hurriedly summoned everyone from the inner mansion of the Wuhou Mansion to rush to the gate of the outer mansion to greet him, and soon saw Bai Yuxian at the door.
"Brother Xian'er is here, come in quickly."
Old lady Bai hurriedly stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically, greeted him with a smile, and reprimanded the little man at the door after speaking.
"A few fools, Brother Xian'er came to Wuhou Mansion as if he was going home, and he didn't know the introduction door, Wuhou Mansion and Tiance Mansion were in the same breath, and my Bai family was of the same origin, so why do I need to pass it on."
"When the jade immortal arrives, you can just enter the door directly, why do you need to pass it on."
Bai Zheng, who arrived, also said, and saw Bai Yuxian also smiling.
A few small servants at the door and the steward of the foreign government repeatedly admitted their mistakes.
Bai Yuxian also smiled at this time and bowed to Old Taijun Bai and Bai Zheng.
"Yuxian has seen the old lady and Uncle Zheng, and he took the liberty to visit at night, hoping not to disturb the old lady and his uncle Qingxiu."
