Wearing a three-mountain hat and a splendid red dress.
Although he looks like a man in his thirties, his face is ruddy and his eyebrows are smiling, giving him a soft atmosphere.
When he raised his head and took a look, his eyes fell on Yang Lin first.
He immediately bowed and said, "Zhao Yi has met Duke Taiping."
Then his eyes fell on Li Dao, who was walking side by side with Yang Lin, and he asked tentatively, "Excuse me, Lord Taiping, who is this..."
"Li Dao."
When he heard the name, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with light.
Then he saluted with the same respectful attitude and said, "It turns out to be Commander Li."
Li said, "Do you know me?"
Zhao Yi replied with a smile on his face, "Although I have never met him, I have heard of Commander Li. Before leaving, the manager asked me to say hello to Commander Li on his behalf."
"I wonder who the general manager my father-in-law is talking about is?"
"General Manager, Zhao Zhong."
Um?
Li Dao raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Have you heard of Commander Li?"
"How could I not have heard of it?"
Li Dao's impression of the chief executive was still in his mind when he was An Yuanbo.
At that time, everyone in the entire imperial capital knew Zhao Zhong, the chief internal officer, and Li Dao was no exception.
When Zhao Zhong was a child, he was the companion of Zhao Xing, the current Emperor of Daqian, and grew up with him.
Zhao Xing finally ascended to the throne, and Zhao Zhong's status also increased and he directly became the chief eunuch.
Many people say that Zhao Zhong achieved enlightenment by himself and ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs.
But only a few people know Zhao Zhong's true ability.
Li Dao had heard about Zhao Zhong from his father during his lifetime.
In one sentence, if Zhao Xing can succeed in climbing the dragon, Zhao Zhong must account for at least three percent of the credit.
At the same time, there are rumors within the imperial capital that Zhao Zhong appears to be a weak eunuch who does not know martial arts, but his true strength is at least at the level of a grandmaster.
In short, this is a person who appears to be a mountainous person on the surface, but is unfathomable behind the scenes.
The reason why Li Dao was surprised was that he didn't expect that he would attract Zhao Zhong's attention.
At this time, Yang Lin on the side said, "Eunuch Zhao, you'd better explain your intention first."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi showed a surprised expression, and then chuckled, "It's all my fault, I almost forgot that there are important things to deal with during this trip."
He took out a golden brocade from his arms.
The moment he took out the imperial edict, Zhao Yi's whole demeanor changed.
One second he was smiling and communicating with the two people, and the next second a touch of coercion came from him.
Ordinary people may look ugly if they encounter this kind of scene.
But Li Dao and Yang Lin remained calm and just bowed.
Zhao Yi opened the imperial edict, looked at the two people and began to read.
"The Emperor, who is destined to be the emperor, issued an edict: I have read the memorial and I am deeply touched. This should be a reward based on merit. However, the provocative behavior of the barbarians in the north has aroused the anger of the court and undermined the majesty of our cadres. We must let it go." They paid a heavy price."
"Therefore, I hereby issue an order to mobilize Fengzhou soldiers and horses to gather in Yunzhou and form the New Town North Army."
Zhao Yi turned to look at Yang Lin and said, "You, Yang Lin, will be the commander-in-chief of the New Town North Army this time."
"Shen Zhong was supposed to be the deputy commander, but because of his serious injury, we decided not to do so and allowed him to accompany the army as a staff officer."
"Therefore, the position of deputy commander is..."
Having said this, Zhao Yi turned to look at Li Dao and said slowly, "The current temporary commander of Fufeng Pass is here to serve."
Hearing this, Li Dao was startled, and Yang Lin on the side also showed a shocked look.
Because there is no problem with Yang Lin as the commander-in-chief, but it is a big problem with Li Dao as the deputy commander-in-chief.
Now Li Daoneng is the temporary commander-in-chief of Fufeng Pass, which sounds nice, but in fact it is just a title. He is willing to give it, and his subordinates are convinced, so they can listen to it.
But in the real sense, Li Dao is still the chief who can only manage ten people.
But now that there is this imperial edict, everything is different.
They temporarily placed Li Dao in the position of commander, but with Zhao Xing's confirmation, he was the real commander of Fufeng Pass.
As for why I say it was before, it is because now under the imperial edict, he has been transformed from the commander-in-chief of Fufengguan to the deputy commander-in-chief of the New Town North Army.
And this is also the most brilliant thing about Zhao Xing.
A nominal job in a verbal sense was directly reduced to a real job after such operations.
Although it has been reduced by half a level, the gold content in it is completely different.
Here, Zhao Yi continues to read out the imperial edict.
"There is only one goal in forming the new army this time, and that is to completely annihilate the three tribes of the Northern Barbarians who dare to offend our Dagan in the spring of next year, and to plant our Dagan flag on that land to shock the heroes."
"Therefore, this battle must be won but not defeated."
"I am waiting for your good news in the imperial capital."
"Appreciate this."
After finishing reading, Zhao Yi slowly closed the imperial edict in his hand, looked at Li Dao and the two with a smile and said, "Tai Ping Gong, Commander Li, please accept the edict."
"I accept the order."
Taiping Gong stepped forward and held the imperial edict in both hands.
Just when the two were about to receive the gift, they saw Zhao Yi take out another imperial edict from his arms.
Yang Lin raised his eyebrows, "This is..."
Zhao Yi said bluntly, "Just take it from Duke Taiping."
Hearing this, Yang Lin took the second imperial edict with doubts on his face.
But when he actually held the imperial edict in his hands, his eyes narrowed.
Then, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Zhao Yi then said, "Your Majesty said that this imperial edict can resolve crises and prepare for emergencies."
"clear."
Yang Lin seemed to have thought of something and nodded solemnly. He did not open it, but carefully put away the second imperial edict.
Afterwards, Zhao Yi bowed his hands towards Li Dao and Yang Lin and said, "The imperial edict has been delivered. Zhao Yi is here to wish Taiping Gong in advance that Commander Li will be victorious."
Yang Lin raised his head and said, "Eunuch Zhao, are you leaving? Why don't you stay and sit for a while?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and chuckled, "Zhao has important things to do. He has already arrived at a fast pace, so I won't stay any longer."
After saying that, he immediately got on his horse and bowed his hands to Li Dao and the others.
"Both of you, take your leave."
As soon as Zhao Yi pulled the reins, the horse turned around and headed in the direction it came from, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, Yang Lin slapped Li Dao on the shoulder with a crisp sound, and said with emotion in his tone, "Boy Li, you have made a lot of money this time."
"I underestimated the shock that your military exploits brought to His Majesty before. From a young commander to the deputy commander of the New Town North Army, you have really risen to the top in one step. It is obvious that His Majesty values you very much."
value?
Maybe.
Thinking of this, an intriguing smile appeared on Li Dao's face.
It seemed that His Majesty did not confuse him with his previous identity.
I just don't know what he would think if he knew that he was Anyuanbo Li Dao in the future.
...
After returning to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
Soon the heaviness came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked directly, "Mr. Yang, Li Dao, I heard that an imperial decree arrived just now. Is it true?"
Yang Lin took a sip of tea, pointed to the imperial edict on the table, and then said with a smile, "Boy Shen, now you have got what you wanted, and you can retire in peace."
Zhan Zhan was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the imperial edict and took a look at it.
Seeing that there was nothing ahead, he even smiled bitterly when he saw that he was asked to recuperate with the army.
However, when he saw that the person taking over his position was Li Daohou, his whole expression froze.
Yang Lin seemed to be happy to see Shen Zhan's shocked expression, and then smiled, "Are you surprised or surprised?"
He closed the edict heavily, put it back on the table, and nodded, "It's a pleasant surprise, and it's also unexpected."
"You are worthy of being the deputy commander-in-chief."
Then he continued, "But you have to work hard later."
"Your Majesty's imperial edict obviously means to give you a hand. Not to mention winning this battle, your position under the butt will definitely be secure. After all, if you can win the territory of the three tribes, it will be a great achievement to expand the territory. It’s indispensable for you.”
"But if you fail this time, I'm afraid your previous military exploits will be wasted."
Li Dao nodded, he had already deduced what Zhong said before.
But he didn't think too much about the outcome of this battle.
Because as long as he lives, winning or losing is a win for him.
This can be seen from the contribution made by the Tamu tribe to him.
Let him rise from the strength of the Xiantian realm to the Grandmaster realm.
Of course, if nothing happens, there is a high probability that this battle will not be lost.
This is the so-called win-win situation.
Well, he won twice.
...
Three days later.
Snowflakes are flying.
I saw, in the heavy snow, a long team slowly walking towards Fufeng Pass from outside Fufeng Pass, braving the wind and snow.
The city wall guards were shocked when they saw this scene from a distance. They thought it was an enemy attack and subconsciously blew their trumpets.
The next second, a hand stretched out from the side to stop him.
After seeing clearly who was coming, the guard was shocked, stood up straight and said, "Deputy Commander!"
"Go and inform the people below to open the door. These people are our own people."
"Yes, deputy commander."
at the same time.
The one at the front of the line near Fufeng Pass.
"call."
Wei Yun looked at Fufeng Pass in the distance, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with emotion in his words, "We are finally here."
On the side, Liu Neng shook off the snow on his body and echoed, "Yes, we are finally here."
Suddenly, Wei Yun stopped.
Then, the team behind him gradually stopped.
The next second, a voice sounded outside Fufeng Pass.
"Here we are!"
Outside the empty Fufeng Pass, Wei Yun's voice was loud and surrounded by echoes.
Just after he finished shouting, the snow was still heavy, and the crowd following him was still the same, without any movement.
At this time, one person in the crowd shook the snowflakes on his head and raised his head.
Then, one figure after another made the same move.
When everyone raised their heads, their eyes subconsciously fell on the towering city wall in the distance in the heavy snow.
"We're back?"
"Are you really back?"
"It should be true."
"..."
Suddenly, voices began to be heard in the originally silent team.
And as time goes by, the voice becomes more and more chaotic, and the emotional ups and downs in it become greater and greater.
Hearing these voices, Wei Yun smiled slightly, raised his right hand and shouted loudly, "Let's go home!"
In the crowd, Hong Ling and Luluo carefully exposed Sister Lan in their arms to the wind and snow.
"Sister Lan, we can finally go home."
Hong Ling and Luo Luo looked at Fufeng Pass in the distance with red eyes.
And Sister Lan in their arms also looked at the distant city wall for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.
