Palace study.
The guard reported: "Your Majesty, General Wang Lie is here."
"Come in." Xiao Yuan spoke concisely and to the point, the brush in his hand not stopping.
After going to court, he summoned the latter in his study.
Not long after, Wang Lie entered and saw Xiao Yuan. He immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Wang Lie!"
There was still some excitement on his face, because he regarded Xiao Yuan as a god, and his greatest wish in his life was to follow his majesty in the north and south.
This is another strong general who is capable of fighting and loyal, and he has contributed to the founding of the country.
Looking at his resume, he joined the army at Xipingguan at the age of 17, followed Xiao Yuan to defeat Xirong, and was promoted to captain for killing enemies on the battlefield.
Later he entered Sichuan and Sichuan to fight, and reached the rank of centurion.
In the battle where Xiao Yuan became king, the Liang alliance destroyed the Jin Dynasty. Wang Lie had meritorious service in several battles and was promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand men.
He destroyed Liang, participated in the Battle of Youzhou and the Battle of Liangzhou, and became a captain of the infantry army for his meritorious service.
Mie Yan and Mie Huan did not participate.
Xiao Yuan went on the southern expedition, participated in the Battle of Zaocheng and the Battle of Xiangyang, and served as a partial general.
During the Eastern Expedition, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Eleventh Infantry Army and participated in the decisive battle of Mengjin, the Battle of Caizhou, and the Battle of Ruizhou.
After the spirit was destroyed, the world was unified, and the founding of the country granted him the title of General Fenwu, one of the Eight Heroes.
This resume is all about promotion of military exploits, step by step, completely hard-earned!
This is one of the reasons why Xiao Yuan asked him to guard the ghost clan.
With Wang Lie's bloody spirit and bravery and proficiency in fighting, he is enough to frighten everyone in the ghost clan.
"I love you," Xiao Yuan said in a gentle tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Lie stood up and stood respectfully below.
Xiao Yuan looked at him first, then put down the brush in his hand and said: "Wang Lie, I am calling you into the palace this time because there is something important that you need to do."
"Please give me your Majesty's orders!" Wang Lie said neatly.
"Go to the Ghost Clan and garrison it for three years." Xiao Yuan got straight to the point: "Although we have pacified the place, the Ghost Clan is a foreign land after all. If we want to fully control it, it will take a certain amount of time to transition, and during this time, I will be needed. Great Qin’s generals are on guard!”
"After much thought, I think it would be safer to send you there. Of course, if you have any difficulties or feel that the conditions are difficult, you can bring them up."
When Wang Lie heard this, he said without any hesitation immediately: "I accept the order! Your Majesty has entrusted me with it, and I will not hesitate even if I am broken into pieces! I will not have any difficulties!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan was equally straightforward: "I will mobilize 100,000 new troops for you, with Pei Yang as the deputy general. After you return, make preparations immediately and set off as soon as possible."
"Yes! Your Majesty, please rest assured. It is your duty to guard the border areas for the country!" Wang Lie said in a shocked voice.
Xiao Yuan explained again: "Remember, the ghost clan is a subordinate. If something happens, you don't have to be soft when you need to use force to suppress it! Kill if you want!"
"Wei Chen understands!" Wang Lie said.
"Including the King of the Ghost Tribe, although he is supported by us, if he doesn't obey, then whatever happens will happen!"
Xiao Yuan said, stood up and walked down, carefully tidying up his clothes: "Guarding the border area is the hardest work. You and I, the monarch and my ministers, may not see each other for three years. If you ever feel homesick, just write to me."
"Your Majesty." Wang Lie's eyes turned red, and the iron-clad man almost shed tears.
"Don't cry!" Xiao Yuan also had a sore nose. He took a breath and patted his shoulder: "Go!"
Wang Lie heard this and knelt down seriously: "Your Majesty, I have left. You must take care of your dragon body and don't be so tired anymore."
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, bowed and retreated.
"Wait." Xiao Yuan suddenly stopped him again, hurriedly took off his coat, put it on Wang Lie, and tied it up: "In the dead of winter, the ghost tribe often has wind and snow, and the wind is biting to the bones. Be sure to keep warm and don’t freeze your body.”
"Your Majesty!" Wang Lie knelt on the ground again and couldn't help but burst into tears: "I am so frightened that I cannot accept this favor from the Emperor!"
You know, under the feudal dynasty, the emperor gave his coat to his ministers, which was a great honor.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly."
Maybe he didn't want to see this scene again, so Xiao Yuan turned his back and waved his hand: "Step back."
"Your Majesty, please take this seriously. Please retire."
Wang Lie said seriously and bowed deeply.
After leaving the study, nothing could shake the determination in my heart.
In the afternoon, General Fenwu's Mansion.
After Wang Lie came back, his wife also came up to him and asked with concern: "Husband, Your Majesty summoned me, I don't know what happened."
"Your Majesty has entrusted me with the important task of guarding the ghost clan." Wang Lie said directly.
"Ah?" The wife was surprised at first, and then showed a look of grievance: "Husband, I heard that the ghost clan is far away, its people are like bloodthirsty demons, and the environment is terrible. Can you please resign to your majesty?"
"What nonsense!" Wang Lie glared and said, "Your Majesty has appointed me. I am too late to be happy, so how can I refuse?"
"But, I am worried about my husband." As a wife, this is natural.
"There is nothing to worry about." Wang Lie said seriously: "As a general of the Qin Dynasty, it is our duty to protect our family and country, and guard our borders! You are a woman, what do you know?"
"I don't understand the righteousness of my family and my country, but I can't bear to leave my husband."
"Okay, okay." Wang Lie comforted him, then took off Xiao Yuansi's coat, and said with a stern face: "Hurry up and put this coat away carefully. There must be no damage."
The wife took it and said, "This coat is so luxurious. It's snowy and windy in the northeast, so why don't you bring it with you to keep warm?"
Speaking of the coat, Wang Lie couldn't help but feel proud: "You know, this is your Majesty's coat. It was given to me today. How can I take it with me to the ghost clan? This is the glory of my royal family!"
"Huh?" My wife was also startled.
Wang Lie added: "In addition, the coat given by His Majesty may be the greatest protection for the descendants of my Wang family at some point in the future."
"Therefore, be sure to treasure it!"
Seeing that he was speaking so seriously, his wife nodded quickly: "I understand, husband, don't worry."
On the other side, at the home of Annan General Pei Yang.
At this time, he had received the appointment edict.
Like Wang Lie's wife, his wife is also full of resentment, she is a woman.
Pei Yang listened to her words and couldn't help scolding: "Woman's opinion! What do you know? Now the world is peaceful, the mountains and rivers are unified, the ghost tribe has been pacified, and there is no war. If a general wants to be promoted, he needs military merit. And if you go to the Ghost Clan now, you will have military exploits when you come back!"
"Besides, as a soldier, protecting our home and country is the honor of our generation!"
This is the general of the Qin army who came from the war years. His faith and the righteousness of his family and country are the same and cannot be shaken.
A few days later.
Xiao Yuan mobilized 100,000 new troops.
At the same time, the military and political officials of the ghost tribe have already confirmed that he is Cui Zhi, the prime minister of Wuling County.
On this day, Wang Lie and Pei Yang knelt down to Xiao Yuan, and the latter also saw them off in person, and naturally gave them some instructions before leaving. (End of chapter)
