"Jade Immortal is here, please sit in the room quickly."
"Brother-in-law, Sister Shiyin."
"General Bai, eldest lady."
"."
After dinner, Bai Yuxian and Han Shiyin came to the Han Mansion in a carriage.
It was already dark at this time, and everyone in the Han family was at home. When they learned that Bai Yuxian and Han Shiyin were coming, Zhou immediately brought Han Yu, Han Lin, brother and sister, and everyone in the house to welcome them out.
"Auntie, there's no need to be too polite and busy. We're all a family, so there's no need to worry about these false gifts. I wonder if my father-in-law is at home." Bai Yuxian said with a smile.
"Here you are, your father-in-law was in the study just now. I asked Yu'er to take you there."
"Okay." Bai Yuxian immediately smiled and nodded, and then said to Han Shiyin: "You talk to Auntie and Linmei first, and I will go and talk to my father-in-law first."
"Um."
Han Shiyin nodded obediently, and Mrs. Zhou immediately greeted Han Shiyin warmly and asked Han Yu to take Bai Yuxian to Han Su's side, knowing that Bai Yuxian must have something to discuss with her husband, Weng.
"Brother-in-law, we are here."
Bai Yuxian followed Han Yu towards Han Su's study.
Not long after, Han Su came to Han Su's side. At this time, Han Su had also learned about Bai Yuxian's arrival and just walked out of the study to see Bai Yuxian.
"Yu Xian has met my father-in-law." When Bai Yuxian saw Han Su, he immediately raised his hands and bowed.
"We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite in private." Seeing Bai Yuxian, Han Su's face suddenly showed a smile, waved his hands and said: "Let's go to the living room and retreat and let the servants make a pot of tea. .”
Bai Yuxian then went to the Han family's living room with Han Su and Weng's son-in-law.
"When I originally learned that the Hongqingshan rebels had surged and their power had grown to more than 70,000 people, I was still a little worried that you would not be able to quell the rebellion. His Majesty even prepared to send another large army to Xiangzhou to support you. Unexpectedly, the court just said While the matter was being debated endlessly, you won a big victory first, and I didn’t expect that in just over a month, you had already pacified the entire Hongqing Mountain.”
After sitting down in the living room, Han Su couldn't help but sigh while looking at Bai Yuxian.
Bai Yuxian's performance this time really shocked everyone in the capital.
There were more than 70,000 Hongqingshan rebels, but they were put down by Bai Yuxian in more than a month. More than 50,000 people were directly annihilated and 20,000 were captured. It can be said that the entire Hongqingshan rebels were wiped out. net.
Such brilliant results are nothing short of astonishing.
This undoubtedly once again completely proved Bai Yuxian's ability.
"My father-in-law praised me too much. Although Hongqingshan is powerful, they are just a bunch of rough and tumble gangsters. Although there are many people, marching and fighting are like a pile of loose sand. Defeating a group of gangsters is nothing worthy of praise and bragging."
When Bai Yuxian heard this, he smiled and shook his head.
Regarding the pacification of Hongqingshan this time, Bai Yuxian didn't think there was anything worth showing off.
When Han Su heard this and saw Bai Yuxian's calm expression, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. This time the Hongqingshan turmoil was so victorious, Bai Yuxian could still remain calm and humble, without any arrogance. With this mentality, he was not comparable to ordinary people.
"You don't need to be too humble. If such a great victory is not worthy of praise, then how many other things in the world are worthy of praise. Besides, although there are many rabbles in the world, once the number of people is large, no matter how small the rabble is, it cannot be a small loss, otherwise Liu How could Funan be defeated, but an army of more than 30,000 people could be defeated by Hongqingshan's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, this person can be considered a capable person."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank this person for such a great contribution this time. If this person had not been defeated, Hongqingshan would not have developed to that scale, and I would not have had the opportunity to make such a great contribution."
"That's true, haha."
Speaking of Liu Funan, both Weng and son-in-law couldn't help but laugh.
"Your performance in quelling the turmoil in Hongqingshan has been so outstanding this time. His Majesty must value you more. I heard from Li Xiangyan a few days ago that His Majesty intends to directly promote you to the rank of General of the Forbidden Army. On the same day that the report of the previous battle in Hongqingshan came out, His Majesty also promoted Li The prime minister, the prince, Duke Nan, and many other civil and military ministers of the third or higher rank in the court summoned the palace to ask for their opinions on this matter." Han Su continued, telling Bai Yuxian important news.
If Bai Yuxian is really promoted to the rank of General of the Forbidden Army, then his position will definitely be promoted to the third rank.
The third rank is also a hurdle for officials. Whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, as long as you are promoted to the third rank, it is undoubtedly the same as entering the top level of the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty. Especially for a powerful general like Bai Yuxian who directly commands an army, his status is Needless to say.
If he can really take this opportunity to be promoted to the Forbidden Army General, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Bai Yuxian.
Although this will definitely arouse some doubts again, Bai Yuxian is not worried, because as long as there is a war in the future, he is confident that he will use solid results to make those doubts disappear.
For Bai Yuxian, he only needs to firmly grasp the importance that Emperor Li Longji places on him and not let Li Longji disappoint him.
As for other doubts, they can be ignored.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but look confused: "I wonder what the final result will be?"
"It is reported that the opposition was quite loud that day. In addition to the approval of many civil servants such as Prime Minister Li and myself, other princes and officials of the prince's line and the Duke Wu Xun present raised objections based on their seniority and many other reasons. In the end, because of the opposition The voice was relatively loud, so His Majesty did not say any more and left it alone. As for the final result, it depends on His Majesty's intention," Han Su said.
Bai Yuxian nodded slightly when he heard this and was not too surprised. With his current qualifications, it would be easy for others to question him if he wanted to be directly promoted to general.
However, Bai Yuxian didn't pay too much attention to it, because for him, the main purpose of this battle was to completely stabilize his current position as the commander-in-chief of the Tiance Army and eliminate the original doubts. Come on, even if you can't get promoted, it's enough for Bai Yuxian.
Anyway, as long as he can stabilize his current position as the commander-in-chief of the Tiance Army, then the future post of general of the Forbidden Army will basically be in his possession. The only difference is the length of time.
Of course, it would be best if he could be directly promoted this time.
After all, if you are promoted to general as early as possible, you will be able to win titles and other official positions faster if you perform meritorious service later.
Especially Jiedu Envoy, this is Bai Yuxian's biggest goal.
Today, there are ten major military towns in the Tang Dynasty.
Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Hedong, Longyou, Shuofang, Fanyang, Pinglu, Jiannan, Lingnan.
Theoretically speaking, a military town can have one Jiedushi. The Jiedushi is in charge of the entire military and political power of the place and can be regarded as a prince.
The pattern of vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion came from this.
There are only ten military towns in the Tang Dynasty now. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, there will be even more military towns and military envoys in the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that the central court of the Tang Dynasty found it difficult to contain the power of local vassal towns.
During the Anshi Rebellion, when An Lushan raised his troops, he was the governor of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong towns, with an army of 150,000, which gave An Lushan the ambition and sufficient strength to rebel.
If Bai Yuxian wants to seize the world after the Anshi Rebellion breaks out, the best thing for him to do is to become the Jiedu Envoy before the Anshi Rebellion breaks out and occupy one side, so as to accumulate and cultivate his own power, so that he can be qualified after the Anshi Rebellion breaks out. Compete in the world.
But he is still a little far away from becoming a military governor.
And becoming a Jiedushi also requires opportunities.
Therefore, Bai Yuxian still needs to continue working hard.
Later, he chatted with his father-in-law, Han Su, and his son-in-law, Han Su, and his son-in-law about court matters.
After sitting in the Han family for about half an hour, Bai Yuxian took Han Shiyin and left the Han family.
After sending Han Shiyin back to Tiance Mansion first, Bai Yuxian took advantage of the carriage to arrive at the gate of Wuhou Mansion alone.
Stepping out of the carriage and looking at the gate and plaque of Wuhou Mansion in front of her, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Speaking of which, it has been almost a year since he moved out of Wuhou Mansion to establish Tiance Mansion last year, and Bai Yuxian has not been to Wuhou Mansion again.
Today is the first time I have been to Wuhou Mansion since I moved to Tiance Mansion.
Returning to his old place, Wuhou Mansion is still the same, but Bai Yuxian is no longer the Bai Yuxian of the past, and he can't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
"Meet General Tiance!"
The young men guarding the gate of Wuhou Mansion were startled when they saw Bai Yuxian coming out of the carriage, and then they quickly bowed and saluted.
"No need to be polite, please tell the old lady and Uncle Zheng that Yuxian has taken the liberty to come to visit."
Bai Yuxian smiled.
"Yes, general, wait a moment, I will go and pass the message."
The young man hurriedly ran towards Wuhou's mansion.
Soon after hearing the news of Bai Yuxian's arrival, the entire Wuhou Mansion was instantly alarmed.
Mrs. Bai hurriedly summoned everyone in the Wuhou Mansion to rush to the gate of the outer manor to greet him, and soon saw Bai Yuxian at the door.
"Brother Xian is here, come in quickly."
Mrs. Bai quickly stepped forward to greet her warmly, greeted her with a smile, and then scolded the boy at the door.
"You idiots, Brother Xian comes to Wuhou Mansion just like going home. He doesn't know about the entrance door. Wuhou Mansion and Tiance Mansion are in the same family. I, the Bai family, are from the same family, so why do I need to pass through the door?" pass."
"When Jade Immortal arrives, you can just walk in. There is no need to communicate."
Bai Zhengye said when he arrived, he was also smiling when he saw Bai Yuxian.
The few boys at the door and the steward of the foreign government admitted their mistakes one after another.
At this time, Bai Yuxian also smiled and bowed to Mrs. Bai and Bai Zheng.
"Yu Xian has met the old lady and uncle Zheng. He took the liberty of visiting at night. I hope he didn't disturb the old lady and uncle's Qingxiu."
