"Wei Rong, stop it!"
Seeing Wei Rong being so arrogant, Du Biao's face turned dark. Without any fear of pain, he stood in front of Liu Zheng and grabbed the riding whip thrown by Wei Rong with one hand. The tiger's mouth immediately burst open and dripped with blood.
He shouted loudly and whipped back the riding crop.
Liu Zheng was shocked: "Brother Du!"
Du Biao laughed bitterly and said: "Brother Liu, I have been wronged. I have only been here in Baiya for a few days, and I have been attacked several times. Where can I put my face?"
"Wei Rong, don't rely on your status to be rude to distinguished guests, get out of here!"
Wei Rong was pulled so hard by Du Biao that he almost fell off his horse.
"you……"
"You are a rebel! How dare you do this to the eldest son?"
The faces of the gangsters next to Wei Rong all looked ugly. Wei Rong also had a livid face and was furious. He was the eldest son of the family, and naturally he had his own group of supporters around him. How could he bear this kind of anger? He gritted his teeth and said with gloomy eyes: "Okay, okay, when my father comes back, I will I want you to look good!”
"Walk!"
Wait until Wei Rong leaves with a group of brothers.
Yang Kecai sighed: "Mr. Liu... This Wei Rong is the son of the great master Wei Shao. He is usually domineering and domineering. No one in the Baiya Army dares to offend him..."
Liu Zheng smiled upon hearing this.
Sure enough, there will be such a person in any group.
It was only yesterday that he felt that the Baiya Army had three major symptoms. At this time, it seemed that the situation was far more complicated than he thought... The fourth symptom popped up again, and the internal conflicts were fierce!
Listening to what Wei Rong said and the attitude of his supporters, it seemed that there was still some gap between Yang Ke and the big boss Wei Shao.
Even if you haven't before, you will naturally have a grudge after being talked about a lot. Three people make a tiger, that's what they say.
But Liu Zheng feels that in the final analysis, it is not just a conflict of interests, but also a conflict of ideas.
"Then Wei Shao, who is he?"
Liu Zheng asked curiously.
He had to be curious. The person who could control so many people in the White Cliff Army, who could gather these people from all walks of life, and who owned the world's most coveted racecourse, must have at least some charisma.
Du Biao sighed: "Brother Wei, he has changed a bit in recent years..."
"Shut up!"
Yang Ke glared at Du Biao and warned: "What will happen? Brother, don't you want to find a future for us?"
Du Biao snorted coldly: "Who wants Nao Shizi's future?"
"I am a man of the world! If I haven't lived a comfortable life these years, what's the use of having an official career?"
He does not mean that.
When Liu Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
Looking for an official position?
In this way, Wei Shao is probably a person similar to Song Jiang. But...Liu Zheng suddenly became curious about who Wei Shao was. In fact, according to the expansion speed and current scale of the White Cliff Army, if it were given to Liu Zheng, he would also find a way to clear the name of these "bandit troops" and seek an official position.
This is how it was done in every era.
Wei Shao's idea is not wrong.
It's just that there may be some disagreements within the White Cliff Army.
What a headache!
Liu Zheng rubbed his temples.
In the next few days, Liu Zheng was relatively safe and sound. Zhang Chengjiang had met Liu Zheng once in Liangzhou Mansion. Regardless of whether Liu Zheng's 30,000 troops were invited by him or not, since they were here, the friendship between landlords still had to be fulfilled.
All kinds of banquets, all kinds of lies and excuses.
In the past few days, Liu Zheng also took advantage of his free time to walk around the Baiya Prefecture several times. Then he sadly discovered that it was exactly what he expected. The White Cliff Army has begun to become indifferent in the hearts of the people.
Some people are even talking about it.
This is not a good sign.
…
When Liu Zheng was in Baiya Prefecture.
On the northern front, Ruogu Pass.
The guard of honor from the imperial court finally appeared slowly.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were all excited.
The prince Xie Fang, the third prince Xie Ling, and Zheng Yuxing all knelt on the ground to welcome the angel.
"Zheng Yuxing, guarding the border with Long Yan, welcomes the angel!"
"Welcome angel!"
Angels are the emperor's messengers. Wherever they go, they represent the emperor's will, so they kneel down to worship the current emperor, not Mr. Zhou.
The large carriage representing the royal guard of honor slowly came to the people. Manager Zhou came out from inside and said in a sharp voice: "The Emperor Chengyun ordered that in the forty years of Longyun, Rongshan Pass was victorious, and the Longyan soldiers were not afraid of life and death, and promoted the prestige of our country..."
There was a burst of praise.
"I'm so relieved!"
"The army is the most important weapon of the country! Those who have merit should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be held accountable!"
"I, by God's will, declare...Pingdi General Zheng Yuxing!"
Zheng Yuxing, dressed in military uniform, knelt down and said, "The general is here!"
"Promote to the rank of Chariot and Cavalry General, a second-grade leader!"
boom!
The whole place was in an uproar.
Zheng Yuxing was also excited and trembling all over.
General Siping is a third-rank leader, which is already an incredible position in the army. But this time a great battle directly promoted Zheng Yuxing to the rank of second-grade cavalry general! The second-level leaders are divided into hussar generals, chariot generals, and guard generals. In fact, this is already a general at the level of Sangong.
In other words, Zheng Yuxing directly ranked among the three masters after this battle!
How could he not be happy?
"Prince Xie Fang!"
"My son is here!"
"In view of the prince's outstanding military exploits and well-organized management during the great victory at Rongshan Pass, I will reward you..."
The prince was also overjoyed.
Any improvement in his status would definitely be unrealistic. So rewarding rare treasures was considered the attitude of the old emperor... After all, he had lost a hundred thousand troops just after he came here, so it would be good if the emperor did not hold him accountable.
Then next, it was the third prince Xie Ling.
The old emperor directly gave the third prince Xie Ling the title of King of Han!
Now, the whole place was in an uproar, shocked, and shocked again!
Everyone looked at each other.
King of Han!
This is the largest title of vassal king below the emperor in the Longyan Dynasty! It can be seen that the old emperor's reward for the three princes this time is still higher than that of the prince! This makes many people confused.
Xie Ling was so happy that he accepted the imperial edict.
But Xie Fang's expression was a bit gloomy.
Manager Zhou said a few congratulations with a smile on his face, and then took out an imperial edict.
"Yinzhou Marquis, Liu Dahao's son, where is Liu Zhoutong?"
The whole place fell silent.
Manager Zhou frowned slightly: "Where is Liu Zhoutong?"
Prince Xie Fang couldn't help but sneered: "Mr. Zhou, Liu Zhoutong has left long ago!"
Manager Zhou's face changed drastically: "How can it be that if he appreciates his work based on his merits but he doesn't know it, doesn't that mean he doesn't take the Holy Emperor seriously?"
In this situation, who wouldn't know that Pei Dian Pei Dian is waiting here?
As a result, the biggest contributor ran away?
Could it be that he didn't want a reward?
Manager Zhou has been an angel many times in his life, but this is the first time he has encountered this situation.
Zheng Yuxing hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou, Liu Zhoutong did lead the army back to Yinzhou because of family matters..."
Manager Zhou snorted coldly: "How can I explain this to the Holy Emperor?"
"Um?"
Everyone didn't understand.
Zheng Yuxing smiled and said: "When Liu Zhoutong left, he asked me to accept the order on his behalf to thank him..."
Manager Zhou angrily rebuked: "It's ridiculous. The Holy One is following Liu Zhoutong to go to the capital for pilgrimage. If others are not around, what's the use of you?"
What?
Several people were shocked again.
Pilgrimage to Beijing?
How much of a grace is this?
The crown prince and the third prince also had gleaming eyes. The old emperor was suddenly so interested in Liu Zheng. Could it be that he wanted to promote him? The one who regrets the most at this time is naturally the third prince. If he had known this, he should not have been so negligent to Liu Zhoutong...
Zheng Yuxing said honestly: "Manager Zhou, that Liu Zhoutong should be in Baiya Prefecture now. You see... should I hurry up and invite him to come, or..."
Manager Zhou was stunned: "Baiya Prefecture?"
Sudden.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he secretly looked at King Lu next to him. King Lu immediately winked and gave him a look.
oh?
Is this Liu Zhoutong still related to King Lu?
Then why did the Empress, when drafting the edict, suggest to the Emperor that this boy must be brought to Beijing?
Are you really optimistic about this kid's future?
Who is Mr. Zhou? He has grown up in this intrigue since he was a child. He immediately laughed and said: "No need, Liu Zhou is a hero of Long Yan. Since there is indeed something going on, naturally he can't be accommodating."
"Xuan!"
Everyone knelt again.
"The great victory at Rongshan Pass, Liuzhou sent magical soldiers from the same sky, bravely defeated the Huns, and his achievements are astonishing in the past and today! I..."
Everyone pricked up their ears.
The previous nonsense is not important at all.
What they want to hear is the most important reward behind this!
You know, Liu Zhoutong is only twenty-one years old today! He already holds the position of state minister. How can such a great achievement elevate him to what level?
Manager Zhou paused.
Immediately there was a young eunuch who thoughtfully handed over a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then Manager Zhou continued to sing: "In view of Liu Zhoutong's victory at Rongshan Pass, he bravely resisted the enemy and promoted the prestige of our country!"
"Liu Zhoutong, Marquis of Jinzhou, and Captain of Kezhou!"
"Ren Kezhou knows the state!"
The whole place was silent.
It was an unremarkable reward, and it was expected by most people that the same state would become the magistrate. It is also normal for someone to be awarded a title for military merit and hold the concurrent position of general. However, this granting Kezhou to Liu Zheng is a bit meaningful...
Among them, the one with the most ugly face was Chen Ping.
Although Kezhou is now under the control of the Liu family and his son, they are not legal after all. Chen Ping wants to deal with the Liu family and his son and take back Kezhou, which is reasonable and legal. But now, what can he do?
However, the next reward made Chen Ping really unable to sit still!
"In view of the fact that Liu Dahao, Marquis of the State, has meritorious service in raising children and has outstanding merits!"
"Enter Yin Yang Prefect!"
All color drained from Chen Ping's face.
Prefect!
Liu Dahao, as a husband and a son, is directly qualified to be the prefect! This also means that Liu Dahao has become the second prefect in Liangzhou... Zhang Chengjiang is also the prefect of Baiya, and the previous prefect of Liangzhou is already the governor.
Therefore, Liu Dahao turned out to be the most powerful governor in Liangzhou!
Chen Ping was immediately confused.
Then Manager Zhou read out some rewards for gold, silver, horses and cloth, and then he smiled and said, "You still don't want to thank me?"
Zheng Yuxing knelt down and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Liu Zhizhou!"
Manager Zhou then chuckled and said: "Okay, the rest of the rewards will be arranged later and are not included in the imperial decree."
Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Long live your majesty!"
Everyone was happy with this victory, and almost everyone got the benefits they wanted.
Zheng Yuxing, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and others even invited General Manager Zhou to the camp. Shouldn't this angel be well served? Not only do you serve them well, but you also have to give them all kinds of lavish gifts when they leave...
After a while of false politeness and toast.
Manager Zhou laughed and said: "Everyone, the Holy One has said that Liu Zhizhou will be taken to Beijing. If I don't handle this matter properly, I will be beheaded!"
Everyone looked at each other.
King Lu snorted coldly and took a sip secretly.
It seems that this greedy man can't help but go to Baiya to cause trouble again?
