He took out a gold cake and gave Cao Changshi a small bribe. Cao Changshi said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Xie, His Majesty has never given up his words."

Of course, these words are aimed at Xie Yu, who is just a school captain, or with Xie Yu's background, a school captain may be the ceiling of his career.

In Cao Changshi's eyes, the school captain was just a junior military officer at the level of a middle school, so he accepted the jade-gold cake.

But I heard from Xie Yu that his residence was arranged by Major General Ling Buyi, and Ling Zicheng gave Xie Yu the title of commander-in-chief.

He, Chief Cao, knew that Ling Zicheng was His Majesty's favorite, so he naturally blocked Ling Zicheng's future.

Ling Buyi was Emperor Wen's pet peeve, and now the injured Ling Buyi was even more so. Xie Yu originally wanted to visit him.

Being rejected by the palace officials on the grounds of recuperation, Liang Qiufei was also angry at Xie Yu's "betrayal", and Xie Yu was somewhat embarrassed.

After retiring from his duties, he returned to duty in the Qimen army.

When General Xu Chufei saw Xie Yu return to the camp, he went out of his way to meet Xie Yu in person and gave an overview of his time when he left the camp to put down the rebellion.

Just listening to Xie Yu's rough narration, I couldn't help but sigh that Xie Yu was born with a talent. Xiaoqi went out to fight to represent Xie Yu's bravery, and succeeded Ling Buyi's handsome seal to represent wisdom.

Although he comes from a humble background, and although he has Ling Buyi behind him, it should be no problem for him to be rewarded as a commander of another department and promoted to the sixth rank as a regular guard.

But if Xie Yu had a good background and could be promoted to two ranks in a row based on his achievements, it would be normal for him to be awarded the position of a captain and a fifth-rank general.

Of course, it is incomparable to a former general of the second rank of major general and a civil servant, who is both civil and military. In fact, there is no comparison between the three princes and the next minister.

In fact, courtiers in the DPRK were greatly afraid of Ling Buyi. In addition to his high official position, he rarely had the backing of his performance.

Coupled with the newly rewarded Deputy Lieutenant Guang Luxun, Ling Buyi could freely enter and exit the capital anytime, anywhere, and even have temporary detention authority, making him even more powerful.

After another emotional discussion about family origin, General Xu Chufei began to explain to Xie Yu some scholarly genealogy, as well as the family background, family status, reputation, official rank of father and brother, and the forces involved in in-laws when Xie Yu was finally qualified to choose to marry.

Faction, character, talent, appearance.

Even Tsemenaki who got married.

It's so troublesome, it's not about getting married, it's about doing business!

No wonder the gentry in the imperial court were so intricately connected.

Xie Yu couldn't help scratching his head after hearing this. In his impression, the two got married and had a good relationship. He just took out his household registration book and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a seal.

A few days later, Xie Yuguo received blessings from the fifth-grade miscellaneous number from the school captain and the captured general who carried the decree.

Just as he was feeling proud, he suddenly heard the rumor that Lou Yao, the second son of Taifu Lou's family, and Cheng Shaoshang, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Quling, were about to get engaged.

Xie Yu was immediately suppressed, and after a rare moment of panic, he immediately asked General Xu Chufei for leave and went out to the camp to inquire.

I thought this was false news just in case, but I didn't expect it to be true. Ling Cheng, the Marquis of Quling County in Qing County, came to confirm the accuracy of the news.

Xie Yu was really stupid for a whole day and secretly exclaimed, "Could it be that I watched fake TV?"

After some hesitation, Xie Yu went to visit Ling Buyi, who was in better condition.

The cold-faced Ling Buyi stared at Xie Yu and said, "You did a good job in capturing Fan Chang alive. You deserve to be promoted to captain for two levels in a row. I should congratulate you."

Xie Yu said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Xie Yu knew the consequences of offending the male protagonist.

Seeing that Xie Yu was more careful, Ling Buyi was a little satisfied. It seemed that he didn't know that Xie Yu had "betrayed" him, so he said: "It's just the captain, or the reward from your majesty who is in a happy mood. Although he has merit

, I agree, but based on your background, do others agree?"

Xie Yu quickly flattered him and said, "No matter what others say, the general will be satisfied if he can be recognized by the young general."

Ling Buyi: "This is not possible. Let me tell you one more thing. If you do it well, I don't think anyone else will recognize your qualifications as a captain."

Xie Yu: "I hope the young general will speak clearly!"

Ling Buyi said: "Although Fan Chang didn't give an explanation, I have found out that he and the King of Wei jointly smuggled arms, and I think there is an alliance agreement."

"Otherwise, with Fan Chang's strength, how could he dare to raise an army?"

"But for some reason, King Wei failed to abide by the covenant."

Xie Yu thought to himself: "The young general may not have heard that allies are betrayers, and covenants are just pieces of paper."

But I think that people in this era generally believe in ghosts and gods, so they are more trustworthy.

So, Xie Yu said: "The King of Wei must have found something more important than the covenant with Fan Chang!"

Ling Buyi nodded and said: "That may be the case. Although I have no evidence now, I have to take precautions."

"The King of Wei is entrenched in Feng Yi County. He is a veteran of troubled times. He is ruthless and hesitant. He is also very powerful in the court. If there is no solid evidence, he will never dare to move."

"I'm just afraid that he will resort to dangerous tactics, so I have to make arrangements in advance."

Xie Yu: "What do you mean, General?"

Ling Buyi said: "I will ask your Majesty for an order to leave you with three thousand forbidden troops to patrol the Shu area, calm the people's hearts, and suppress the disobedience of the people."

"In fact, if the King of Wei is in danger, I want you to rush to Feng Yi County immediately to stop the King of Wei from wanting to kill Feng Yi County."

"Don't worry, as long as you persist for a while, I will personally lead the imperial army to put down the rebellion."

Xie Yu said with some worry: "The general will know."

It's not like Xie Yu had never heard of the name of King Wei in the court. He was also a ruthless military man in troubled times. If Emperor Wen hadn't been so clever, he might have been able to fight for the dragon.

Being awarded the title of King of the Opposite Sex shows your strength.

Seeing Xie Yu's worried look, Ling Buyi also knew that Xie Yu was indeed in danger. The King of Wei had at least 20,000 troops under his command. Coupled with his military ability, he was definitely not a parallel import like Fan Chang.

So, he comforted him: "This is just the worst case scenario. Based on your Majesty's character, even if King Wei is guilty, considering his merits, he will probably only be recruited into the court and his wings will be wiped out."

Xie Yu: "Young General, I understand that you are just doing this just in case. From a military point of view, this is a superior strategy."

Xie Yu knew that when meeting a leading actor like Ling Buyi, it was best for him to listen to his decision.

You can't confront the male protagonist. This is the rule in TV dramas.

However, Xie Yu was a little unhappy as to why it was him. He had been away from home for a while. He was thinking of leading the troops to fight and it was time to go home. Unexpectedly, he had to work overtime, just to prevent the second battle just in case.

It seems that being too good is not a good thing.

Involuntarily, Xie Yu took off her headscarf and touched her bald head.

In fact, it’s good to have a bald head, as the weather is hot and cool, and you save on shampoo.

Afterwards, Xie Yu returned to the Qimen military camp and calculated the gains and losses of this expedition. Financially speaking, he must have lost money, but in terms of political status, the official rank of a school lieutenant and an annual salary of thousands of stones can be regarded as allowing Xie Yu to stay in the capital.

Stand firm.

But I thought that a second war might happen, and the special opponent might be replaced by a stronger King Wei.

If 3,000 forbidden troops were to fight against King Wei's 20,000 elite troops, Xie Yu could only try to delay as much time as possible.

Thinking of this, Xie Yu felt very tired. Sure enough, people can't lose at the starting line, it will be very hard.

So, he fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping soundly for a few days, Shengjia was about to return to the capital. At Ling Buyi's suggestion, Emperor Wen left 3,000 forbidden troops behind, with Xie Yu as general, to intimidate and suppress the place.

Give Ling Buyi two little kites, and use the principle of kites returning to their nests. Although they can only receive but not send out, it can ensure that if there is an order from the capital, as long as Ling Buyi releases one, Xie Yu can receive the news immediately and do a good job.

Prepare.

Now that it can be ensured, the King of Wei will not dare to act rashly before the Holy Emperor returns to the capital.

After Xie Yu completed his mental construction, he began to inspect the Shu area with the mentality of working overtime.

In fact, when a war breaks out, some forces, even if they are intentional, will hide and wait for the next opportunity. Xie Yu's wave is basically just a walk or an outing.

But perhaps smelling the atmosphere of war, Xie Yu first relaxed and then tightened to let the soldiers calm down. About twenty days later, a small falcon flew from the capital.

The king of Wei was unstable. Prince Xiao, who was in the capital, wanted to return to Feng Yi County with He Zhaojun to consummate the marriage. He asked Xie Yu to rush to Fufeng County, which is close to Feng Yi County.

Xie Yu sighed, put aside the idea of ​​taking chances for the time being, it was time to patrol the army route, and shouted that it would cost money again. If you want to win more with less, this "less" needs to double your energy to form some local advantages.

Fortunately, it is also the peak season for herbal medicines to enter the market, and the prices are relatively cheaper, which makes Xie Yu less heartbroken.

I have experience in using medicine when fighting Fan Chang. This time I can make some targeted and strengthening pills.

Soon, Xie Yu entered Fufeng County under the pretext agreed with Major General Ling Buyi.

Although Feng Yi County was only a county, due to the chaos in the world, the King of Wei raised troops from Feng Yi County and occupied many surrounding counties and cities. In fact, Feng Yi County now covers an area no less than a small state and has a population of more than 500,000.

Emperor Wen remembered King Wei's achievements in troubled times. Otherwise, with the strength of Feng Yi County, how could King Wei have privately raised 20,000 elite soldiers.

Of course, the imperial court was also on guard. Not only did it take away administrative power, but it also sent He Yong, a second-grade hussar general who was loyal to the imperial court, to move his family into Feng Yi County and reward him with farms and forts to guard Feng Yi County.

Xie Yu finally understood why the King of Wei did not raise troops according to the agreement with Fan Chang. The reason was that he found greater benefits.

If it is possible to marry with the He family who guards Feng Yi County, once the two families become in-laws, if the King of Wei raises another army.

General He Yong of the Cavalry will be implicated due to his in-law relationship, or...

This was a bit serious, so Xie Yu first ordered the three thousand imperial troops who had been traveling for days to station themselves in Fufeng County and Fengyi County, a small border town, for temporary repairs.

At the same time, he summoned the elders from Tingchang Township and asked them to look for caravans who often went to Fengyi County to do business.

Not only does Xie Yu now have no map of Feng Yi County, but due to military order issues, it is difficult to obtain even ordinary military maps.
