Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.
Fufengguan, school ground.
At this time, Li Dao and Shen Zhong were standing on a high platform.
In the open space not far from the high platform, a team of 500 people was divided into six teams, with a total of 3,000 people.
Each of these six teams has a leader.
They are: Wei Yun, Liu Neng, Zhang Meng, Xue Bing, and later Zhao Tong and Yang Yan.
At this time, these people are training in the school field.
He took a heavy look at the three thousand people on the school field and asked, "Li Dao, you want three thousand people, don't you want a little more?"
"Based on your achievements, I guess it won't be a problem to command 30,000 troops once the reward comes."
Hearing this, Li Dao shook his head, "Three thousand people are enough for me. Any more will be too bloated."
In Li Dao's eyes, soldiers should focus on finesse, not more.
This is not to say that he is not good at commanding troops, but he does not need to.
If there are no practitioners in this world, then the more people there are, the better.
But with the presence of practitioners, sometimes the number of people can become a drag.
Also, the reason why he wanted three thousand people was because the perfect size of the Pagoda Army was three thousand people.
Once all three thousand people are successfully built into the Pagoda Army.
There is no need for him to take action. These three thousand people alone are enough to match thirty thousand.
If we cooperate with the cultivation of his precious blood to assist the growth of the Pagoda Army, let alone an army of 30,000 in the end.
An army of 300,000 or even more may not be a match for the pagoda army in his hands.
While Li Dao and Shen Zhong continued to chat, a soldier suddenly ran over from the side.
After seeing the two of them, he quickly said, "Deputy Commander Li, General Shen, envoys from the Imperial City have arrived at Fufeng Pass."
Envoy from the Imperial Capital?
Li Dao and Shen Zhong looked at each other and understood that it was an imperial edict from the imperial court.
...
Shortly after.
Li Dao and Shen Chong returned to the commander-in-chief's residence.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw a man wearing a three-mountain hat and a bright red robe sitting inside, and Chen You was already helping to pour tea.
After taking a closer look at the face of the imperial envoy, Li Dao couldn't help but be stunned.
If he remembered correctly, the envoy from the imperial capital who came to Fufeng Pass last time was the one in front of him. He still remembered his name, which was Zhao Yi.
Li Dao and Shen Zhong saw Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi also noticed the two of them immediately.
After standing up, Zhao Yi first bowed his hands towards Shen Shen and said, "I have met Marquis Shen."
Then he cupped his hands towards Li Dao with a smile and said, "Commander Li, we meet again."
Li Dao smiled slightly, "Yes, I didn't expect to see my father-in-law again."
Zhao Yi chuckled and said, "If I can see you again, I have to thank you, Commander Li, for your blessing."
Hearing this, Zhen Zhen beside him suddenly said, "Eunuch Zhao, you are here this time..."
Zhao Yi did not speak, but took out a golden imperial edict from his arms with a smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, Li Dao and Shen Zhong directly saluted.
Zhao Yi looked at Li Dao and said softly, "Commander Li, this imperial decree is mainly given to you by His Majesty."
Then, his aura changed, he slowly opened the imperial edict, and began to read according to the content of the imperial edict, "The emperor is destined to carry the emperor, and the edict says: I have read the memorial presented by Yang Lin, and I am deeply gratified by its content. Understand your achievements, Li Dao."
"That's why I specially issue this imperial edict to reward you."
"Because of your meritorious service in protecting the country, I will grant you the status of a first-class earl because of your great power in attacking the enemy inside and outside."
"Reward title: Wu'an!"
Li Dao's expression didn't change much when he heard that he was awarded the title of first-class uncle. After all, based on his contribution, such a reward was normal.
After hearing the account ban, Li Dao's expression changed.
This account sounds a bit murderous.
While Li Dao was thinking, Zhao Yi quickly read out the content behind the imperial edict.
"I will give you ten thousand more gold, one hundred thousand silver, one million copper, a mansion, and a hundred maids."
"I hope you can still live up to my high expectations in the future."
"Appreciate this!"
(The author really doesn’t know how to write this stuff...)
After reading this, Zhao Yi closed the imperial edict and said slowly, "Please ask Wu Anbo to accept the edict."
Because Li Dao was only white before, he could only be called by his position to show respect.
And now that there is a title, it is naturally commensurate with the title.
After Li Dao stepped forward to receive the imperial edict, Zhao Yi suddenly clapped his hands.
Then, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Soon, many eunuchs also wearing three-mountain hats walked in from outside, and they brought in three boxes at the same time.
After opening the three boxes, they contained the rewards of ten thousand gold, one hundred thousand silver and one million copper respectively.
Zhao Yi said with a smile, "These can all be brought, and the mansion needs Wu Anbo. You have the opportunity to go to the imperial capital and choose by yourself. The same goes for the maids."
Li Dao nodded, came to the box containing ten thousand gold, grabbed a handful and weighed it.
Then with a slight squeeze of the palm, a handful of gold was crushed into a piece, and a plate of golden beads appeared in the palm of the hand.
Arriving in front of Zhao Yi, Li Dao handed over the golden beads and said, "Eunuch Zhao has had a hard time on this trip and there is no good banquet in the house. I will trouble Eunuch Zhao to return to the imperial capital to help Li entertain the other father-in-laws."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi glanced at the golden beads and took them directly into his hands without any politeness. Then he chuckled and said, "You still haven't thanked Wu Anbo."
As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs who were carrying things said in unison, "Thank you, uncle."
After Zhao Yi waved his hand, the eunuchs quickly turned around and went out again.
Then, under the surprised expressions of Li Dao and Shen Zhong, Zhao Yi took out another imperial edict from his arms.
Li Dao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Eunuch Zhao, this is..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yi chuckled and said, "The previous share was for you, Wu Anbo, and this one..."
"His Majesty gave Wu Anbo your position."
Position?
Li Dao and Shen Zhong both looked surprised. They didn't expect that this time not only would they receive a reward, but their position would also be reduced. They just didn't know what it was.
Soon, Zhao Yi opened the second imperial edict.
"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict: The dilemma of the Northern Barbarians has been resolved, and the Northern Army in the new town should do the same, and everything will continue as before."
"However, Fufeng Pass already has Zhong Zhong as the commander-in-chief. I also know that you, Wu Anbo, have abilities that are not inferior to others, so I will give you a new position."
"There is a special area in the south of Daqian, called Nanjiang. Since the previous governor of Southern Xinjiang resigned, it has been vacant. After discussions with the ministers at the court meeting, a conclusion has been reached."
"So, Wu Anbo listens!"
Having said this, Zhao Yi raised his head and looked at Li Dao, "I will temporarily appoint you as the governor of Southern Xinjiang to take charge of all internal affairs in Southern Xinjiang."
"The term is three years. After three years, I will send someone to compare the situation in southern Xinjiang you govern with the current situation, and then make a judgment on your rewards and punishments."
"I hope you can still live up to my expectations this time."
"Appreciate this!"
After Zhao Yi read out the last word of the imperial edict, both Li Dao and Shen Zhong showed shocked expressions.
Because both of them understand what the word 'Governor' means.
Looking at the two people who were in a state of confusion, Zhao Yi reminded, "Wu Anbo, it's time to take the order."
After receiving the imperial edict and opening it to read clearly the contents, Li Dao realized that he had heard correctly.
The emperor really made him a governor.
At this time, Zhao Yi suddenly took out a brocade box from his arms and said to Zhong Zhen, "Marquis Shen, this is specially given to you by His Majesty."
After hearing this, he glanced at Li Dao after regaining his composure, and said, "Are you sure it was your Majesty who rewarded me?"
"It's really a reward for you."
Seeing that Zhao Yi was so sure, he opened the brocade box and took a look, only to see a light yellow pill inside.
"This is......"
