"Xiaozhi, stop being so humble! What achievements can you make alone!"
"You deserve this position as a country prince!"
Even though Liu Zhang was extremely thick-skinned, he could no longer remain silent.
After all, this is in public!
Everyone knows that this battle has nothing to do with Liu Zhang.
Even if they forcefully find some relationship, the most likely outcome is that Liu Zhanghui has a good eye and chooses Fazheng and Ma Chao as his generals.
Apart from this, Liu Zhang made no contribution to the war in the Western Regions.
But Fazheng just dared to say in public that all the great blessings were thanks to Liu Zhang!
"Wei Chen, thank the King of Qin for the reward!"
"It's just that this battle is not the result of one person, but the 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Army are indispensable!"
"A humble minister is young, has little virtue and talent, and only achieved a small amount of merit by chance. How dare he claim to be the first?"
"I beg the King of Qin to take back his position as a rural lord and distribute the rewards to the soldiers of the Northern Army who marched westward. Fa Zheng is so grateful!"
After saying this, Fazheng kowtowed again and again.
He was resolute and determined not to be rewarded by the local marquis.
"this..."
Liu Zhang was confused for a moment, thinking that Fa Zheng was just trying to be modest because of his low qualifications.
But such a categorical rejection definitely comes from the heart.
Fazheng's resolute attitude made everyone around him stand in shock.
Reject the position of rural lord?
Everyone's first reaction was not that they thought Fa Zheng was so noble, but that there was something wrong with this person's brain!
That is, in this war-torn era!
If it were in peacetime, if you were not from a top wealthy family or an inherited family, you would have no chance of contacting the Marquis!
Not to mention the country prince.
Even the entry-level Guannai Hou is beyond reach.
Even in the age of war, Tinghou was the ceiling for top civil and military officials.
Being a country prince is almost everyone's lifelong goal.
As long as you have the title of rural lord, it almost heralds the beginning of the family's rise and one foot in the door of the aristocratic family.
The Legalist family where Fazheng belonged to was actually a descendant of King Tian Fazhang of Qi Xiang.
When the Qin State was destroyed by the Qi State, the descendants of the Tian family did not dare to call themselves Tian, so they changed their surname to Fa.
More than three hundred years ago, Fazheng's ancestors migrated to the Sanfu area in Guanzhong and began to rise again.
Fa Zheng's grandfather Fa Zhen was a world-famous celebrity, and his great-grandfather Fa Xiong even served as the governor of Nanjun.
In fact, before Fa Xiong, almost all Legalists held official positions with a rank of two thousand stones for generations, dating back to the time of their ancestors.
Unfortunately, by the generation of Fa Zheng's father, Fa Yan, his official career had declined somewhat.
From two thousand stones, it plummeted directly to thousand stones, or even fell below thousand stones.
In Fazheng's generation, due to the great chaos in the world, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were in the cholera epidemic, and the Legalists were reduced from inheriting the family to being a refugee.
Before Liu Zhang went north to Yongliang, Fazheng had to leave his hometown and go far away to avoid disaster.
Nowadays, the world is divided into four parts, but anyone with a little knowledge knows that Liu Zhang has at least a half chance of taking over the world.
It is a recognized fact that Liu Zhang relied heavily on Fa Zheng.
If he becomes a Marquis of Juexiang when he is less than 30 years old, the Fufeng Legalists may not be able to get a glimpse of the top family in the world in the future.
This is no longer just a matter of personal honor and disgrace, but also related to the fate of the entire family.
But not everyone is shocked, regretful and confused.
At least Jia Xu and Xun You didn't hide the admiration in their eyes.
In the eyes of the two of them, Fa Zheng's move was definitely losing the sesame seeds and picking up the watermelons!
Make a lot of money!
He was unmoved in the face of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and took the initiative to share the credit among the soldiers.
This refusal may seem like losing the 'precious' position of rural lord, but in fact, he gained much more than the rural lord!
Taking credit but not being arrogant, being young and humble, and having a reputation for being extremely intelligent, Fa Zheng has firmly established himself.
When the soldiers of the Northern Army learned about this, they would definitely be extremely moved and would naturally support the military advisor even more.
In future battles, the Northern Army will be able to direct and unleash even more powerful combat effectiveness!
The Northern Army is strong, and there will be many opportunities to gain merit in the future.
Will you still stick to a small village?
Even a top-ranked county prince is not impossible!
After a long time, Liu Zhang woke up from the admiration in the eyes of Jia Xu and Xun You.
"Xiao Nao, since you are so insistent, I can't force others to do anything. I will listen to your advice this time!"
"But it's impossible for me to turn a blind eye to your contribution."
"If you don't accept it, Marquis of Baoji Township, then I will make you Marquis of Qili Taiting, and then give you a generous reward of 10,000 troops for participating in the Western Expedition. How about that?"
Fazheng did not reply immediately, but kept scanning the eyes of everyone around him.
Sure enough, after Xiang Bian Pavilion, the jealousy obviously dissipated a lot.
Then one thing became clear.
In the hearts of all civil and military personnel, they still recognize their merits!
At least the position of Tinghou is well deserved.
The difference between Baoji Xianghou and Qili Taitinghou is like the difference between heaven and earth!
However, Fazheng's hesitation soon made all the civil and military officials look horrified again.
Is it possible that Tinghou doesn’t want it?
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, Ma Chao stood up directly.
"French military advisor, if you don't want the title of Marquis Qili Taiting, then I, the Marquis Wanda Ting, will have no shame in asking for it..."
At this time, everyone suddenly realized.
Yes, Ma Chao was also granted the title of Marquis of Ting just now!
The first-time winner doesn’t want Tinghou’s reward, but what should the second-time winner Ma Chao do?
After a brief moment of consideration, Fazheng finally stopped refusing.
"Fazheng accepts the order, thank you King Qin for your generous gift!"
After Fazheng kowtowed and thanked him, Liu Zhang finally smiled and kindly helped Fazheng up.
"Xiao Nao, you really gave me a big surprise!"
"I really didn't expect that just ten thousand people could defeat the entire military force of the Western Region!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I really didn't disappoint you!"
Liu Zhang's recognition is the motivation for Fazheng to keep fighting.
A few short sentences have far more significance to the rectification of the law than official positions and titles.
"Wei Chen is lucky enough to live up to his mission!"
This time Fazheng did not refuse and happily accepted the compliment.
"Xiao Nao, you have always refused to tell me how many Dayuan horses you brought back. Now in front of everyone, can you tell me?"
This is the issue that Liu Zhang is most concerned about right now.
How many Dawan horses means how many heavy armored cavalry can be formed.
When the news happened just now, Liu Zhang made a secret calculation in his mind.
There should be at least 20,000 to 30,000 people!
Dawan horses are different from ordinary war horses. If they can be brought back by Fa Zheng, they can naturally become the mounts of heavy armored cavalry.
The heavy armored cavalry equipped with Dawan horses only needs to be equipped with one Dawan horse for combat and one or two ordinary war horses for traveling.
therefore.
For every Dawan horse, there is a heavy armored cavalry.
There are 10,000 Dawan horses and 10,000 heavy armored cavalry.
If there are 30,000 Dawan horses, that means there are 30,000 heavy armored cavalry!
Tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry arrayed in front of the formation was so spectacular that Liu Zhang couldn't wait for it.
Everyone at Chang'an Ximen couldn't help holding their breath and pricking up their ears, waiting for the answer given by Fazheng.
Even the King of Qin was curious about something. As a minister, how could he not be extremely puzzled.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Fazheng's lips moved!
