It can be said that Li Hao's contribution this time is not small, whether it was the initial rescue of Wu Han's troops and the main force of the Han army; or the sudden emergence of a new force later, taking Shanggui and dismantling the Longshan defense line of Weixiao; and finally occupying Hanzhong , breaking the barrier of Shu and opening a way for the subsequent annihilation of Gongsun Shu.
In the end, Li Hao was rewarded according to his merits, but the official position he was promoted to was that of Army Sima, with a rank higher than that of Qianshi, and he was directly assigned to the new General Zhengbei, Lai She.
How should I put it, this official position is actually not high, at least compared to Li Hao's achievements, it can only be said to be justified.
The only thing that is more gratifying is that Emperor Wen did not give Li Hao another captain to lead the army, but let Li Hao lead the army independently. This means that in subsequent wars, Li Hao will not lose the ability to fight independently due to being included in the system. initiative.
Moreover, all the troops and horses that Li Hao previously commanded were retained and allowed to continue to be commanded by Li Hao, instead of being sent back for rotation after the fighting stopped like the troops and horses from other states and counties.
In addition, in order to make up for Li Hao, in addition to rewarding Li Hao with a lot of manor wealth and silk, according to the military achievements reported by Li Hao, the rewards for Li Hao's generals were also particularly generous.
He even personally called Li Hao to him later and drank a lot of chicken soup. But in fact, even if Emperor Wen didn't do this, Li Hao could understand. After all, there would be another war in a short time. Unless Emperor Wen didn't plan to use Li Hao, otherwise He just needs to consider a question.
If Li Hao's position is raised this time, what will happen if Li Hao makes great achievements in the future? It will definitely not work without a reward. After all, military merit is the most important thing for a big man, and failure to reward meritorious service will chill the morale of the military.
But if he is rewarded, Li Hao is still so young now. He can't really have the same official rank as Wu Han, Lai She and other veteran generals. Li Hao is not a good eldest son of Emperor Wen, so he is not willing to serve Li Hao. caused this trouble.
Moreover, it is not easy for Li Hao to be promoted too quickly as the legitimate son of the Yuan family. After all, Yuan Pei is now the state pastor, and Liang Wuji, who is close to him by marriage, is also the state pastor. If Li Hao's official position is too high, it will violate his restriction on the rights of the family. Assuming, so I can only treat him harshly.
It's just that Emperor Wen didn't know much about Li Hao's thoughts, and he was still a little worried that Li Hao would have a grudge, so he asked Lai She, Wu Han, Cui You and others who had interacted with Li Hao before to visit Li Hao one by one, openly and secretly. Li Hao was persuaded to be relieved.
Li Hao had no choice but to express his feelings repeatedly to convince them that he really thought about it and had no resentment. After that, fewer people came.
After he was free, Li Hao noticed that among the many rewards, one reward slightly caught Li Hao's attention, that is, Ling Buyi was the first to win in the battle between Ji County and Luomen Ju. He was granted the title of Yulin Youjian Cheng, with a rank of three hundred stones, and officially became an official.
Of course, Li Hao didn't know the specific situation. After all, Li Haoren had already arrived in Hanzhong at that time. After returning to Chang'an, he spent a long time recuperating in his mansion and had no time to inquire.
However, no matter what the cause of this incident was, Li Hao could imagine how quickly Ling Buyi would be promoted in the future. He was afraid that after Gongsun Shu was annihilated next time, as long as this guy could make some achievements in the past, he would be able to climb up the ranks very quickly. When it comes to oneself, this is really enviable.
So Li Hao was thinking about whether to establish friendship with him, not to ask him for anything, but also to see if he could borrow some power from him, because for his safety, Emperor Wen would definitely equip him with elite soldiers. General, maybe when Gongsun Shu is wiped out later, he can be used to help crack down the hard bones.
However, before Li Hao could recover from his injuries and take action, Emperor Wen was about to return to Luoyang, and Ling Buyi also left with his escort.
As for Li Hao, he was also left in Chang'an to recover from his injuries. After he recovered from his injuries, he went directly to Hanzhong to wait for follow-up combat orders.
In addition, in addition to Emperor Wen, other generals were also mobilized. For example, Cui You, Wu Han, Cen Peng and others also left Longxi one after another. However, Cui You returned to Luoyang, while Wu Han, Cen Peng, etc. They went directly to Jingzhou.
It seems that Wan Songbai was not in charge of the southern front war to annihilate Shuzhong. Ling Buyi's words in Wanfu at that time seemed to have a lot of embellishments.
After all these people left, Chang'an suddenly became deserted. Li Hao was injured and couldn't go out for a walk, so he felt a little bored for a while.
Until a few days later, Li Hao suddenly received two letters from Fei Ge, one from Xuzhou and the other from Jiaodong.
Jiaodong's letter was written by Qu Lengjun himself. There was not much text in it. It was just a message of concern for Li Hao's health. It seems that the news of Li Hao's injury had already reached Jiaodong, and he told Li Hao at the end that he would come over. Chang'an took care of Li Hao's recovery, and said that when Li Hao received him, he must have already left, and asked Li Hao not to dissuade him.
Li Hao had nothing to do about this. Fortunately, Chang'an was still safe and she would not be in any danger here. But after he recovered from his injuries and went to Hanzhong, Li Hao would definitely not let Qu Lengjun accompany him.
But this is all a matter for later. Li Hao immediately sent people to set off in the direction of Luoyang to meet Qu Lengjun.
After finishing the instructions, Li Hao looked at the news Yuan Pei sent from Xuzhou. This sight made Li Hao laugh angrily. It turned out that Yuan Pei already knew that there were 50% assassins, and he also knew that Li Hao was there. In a letter from the arresting office, Yuan Pei asked Li Hao to stop hunting Fifty percent, and said he would find a way to deal with the matter.
Then Li Hao definitely wouldn't do it. Originally, Li Hao had always felt that Yuan Pei was a little too indulgent towards Fifty percent. In the original work, Yuan Pei almost paid for the Yuan family just to wipe Fifty percent's ass. , staged a good show of cheating his son.
Li Hao wanted to get rid of Fifty percent this time. Firstly, he wanted to avenge himself, and secondly, he also wanted to eliminate hidden dangers, so as to avoid being cheated by others for no reason when he was doing a good job.
But now that Yuan Pei knew about it, it would be troublesome if he tried to take action again. For this reason, Li Hao specially called Yuan Pei and the others over and gave him a severe reprimand.
After all, he had told them to hide it from Yuan Pei, but in the end, Yuan Pei still knew what he should know. Of course, this could not completely convince them. After all, the caravan system that Li Hao now established was based on the Yuan family. As the head of the Yuan family, if Yuan Pei really wanted to find out, it would be difficult to hide it, but he understood, but this did not prevent Li Hao from getting angry with them.
After the scolding, Li Hao felt much better, so he asked everyone else to go down, leaving Yuan Jing alone and said: "I have something I want you to do, and you need to hide it from my father and the elders of the clan. , I wonder if you are willing."
After hearing this, Yuan Jing didn't think twice and replied directly: "Please give the order, Master. I will do it well with all my heart."
Seeing Yuan Jing's reaction, Li Hao was quite happy. Li Hao already trusted Yuan Jing's loyalty, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of letting him do this.
Coupled with the two years of bloody battles together, the relationship has become more harmonious and the level of trust has become even higher.
Li Hao said: "Okay, I want you to reorganize the caravans and stations in various places, and select a group of trustworthy people to handle things. I don't want my orders to be known to people who shouldn't know about them next time. people know.”
In fact, Li Hao has always had this idea, but when it could be used in the past, Li Hao didn't bother with it because he disliked the trouble. But now when something happens, he can't hide it.
Yuan Jin heard this and said: "Yes, I will definitely handle this matter. It's just about the fifth percentile, whether to temporarily stop the pursuit."
Li Hao replied: "Since my father has spoken, let's let him go for now. I don't want to argue with my father over this matter.
But once you have the manpower organized, you still have to do what needs to be done. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Yes, I understand what to do." After Yuan Geng agreed, he went down to get ready. This time he had to organize the caravans and stations in various places. He would have to patrol everywhere, and he might not be able to come back before the war started.
The responsibilities of the guard leader needed to be shouldered by someone else. In the end, Yuan Geng asked Yuan Wo to take over with Li Hao's consent.
After everything was arranged, Yuan Geng said goodbye to Li Hao and embarked on the road to rectification.
Not long after that, after a long journey, Qu Lengjun finally arrived at Chang'an City and met Li Hao.
At this time, after more than three months of training, Li Hao had not returned to normal levels, but he could move normally, so he went to greet him outside the East City Gate.
Then when their eyes met, she burst into tears. This look of pear blossoms with rain made Li Hao feel bad. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't cry, I'm so sad." Isn’t it okay?”
Qu Lengjun choked back when he heard the words: "You know, the news that you were assassinated and seriously injured in Hanzhong some time ago came back to Jiaodong, but it frightened Jun Gu and I.
There was nothing in the message at that time, but you didn't say that you would send someone to send the news back in time. We didn't know the situation on the front line, and we don't know how worried you were that something big would happen to you. "
Li Hao replied: "This is all my fault. I will definitely change it. Don't cry anymore. This crying makes me heartbroken. Why don't we get on the carriage and go back to the house first? We can wait until the house to talk about anything. .”
Hearing this, Qu Lengjun suddenly realized that he seemed to have been excited just now, and he actually showed his true feelings in front of everyone outside the house. He immediately felt bad all over.
Li Hao also noticed this strangeness, but he did not point it out, and took the initiative to lead Qu Lengjun into the carriage back home.
On the way back, Qu Lengjun had not yet recovered from his embarrassment, so he seemed very silent and only waited until he entered the mansion.
Qu Lengjun drove away a group of servants and came to take off Li Hao's clothes. Seeing this situation, Li Hao thought what Qu Lengjun was going to do and immediately replied: "You must have traveled a long way. Exhausted.
Why don't we take a rest first? Anyway, when you arrive in Chang'an, we will have plenty of time in the future, so there is no need to rush. "
After hearing this, Qu Lengjun understood immediately, slapped Li Hao and said, "What are you thinking about? I just want to see the wounds on your body, so take off your clothes quickly."
Li Hao certainly wouldn't admit defeat, and immediately replied: "That's what I thought. This wound has been raised for three months and has long since healed. There is nothing to look at specially.
It's time for lunch now. It's not too late to look at it after lunch. Maybe you've got it wrong. "
"Stop talking nonsense, take it off quickly, I want to see it now." After such a long time together, Qu Lengjun also knew Li Hao's temperament. If he continued to talk, he might go astray, so he simply said .
Seeing this, Li Hao didn't want to make any more jokes, so he could only take off his shirt obediently. Qu Lengjun saw the healed scars on Li Hao's body, and couldn't help but touch them, and said: "I am afraid of these wounds." , I think it will only be more painful when you are injured."
As he was about to shed tears again, Li Hao quickly replied: "No, apart from the sudden incident and being stabbed on the shoulder, I didn't suffer any major injuries."
As he spoke, Li Hao stretched out his hand to hold Qu Lengjun, and touched her body one by one, describing to her the origin of the other scars, including when this one was injured during training, when this one fell and pierced the skin, anyway. It's just a small thing.
And this is indeed true. Li Hao has never been the kind of person who advocates personal bravery, and Li Hao's starting point in leading troops in his two lives is not low, and he has never been at the bottom of the army who has to lead dozens or hundreds of people to charge. Small official.
Therefore, although Li Hao's martial arts skills are indeed good, he rarely directly fights in hand-to-hand combat, so it seems that he has not suffered many serious injuries.
In fact, the scars just mentioned were basically all there a long time ago, but because they were very small, Qu Lengjun never paid attention to them in the past.
Li Hao originally wanted to comfort Qu Lengjun with these words, but unexpectedly, after hearing this, she suddenly became even sadder and said: "It turns out that these have been there for a long time. Why haven't I seen them before?" .
You are always so kind to me, but I show such lack of concern for you. I was really wrong. "
Seeing Qu Lengjun's self-blaming look, Li Hao was really dumbfounded, so he could only reply: "You and I are husband and wife, and we are going to walk through this long road of life hand in hand.
And we don’t know how many people and things we will encounter along the way. We can’t clearly distinguish everything. If we care too much about these details, it will create a gap between you and me.
As long as you have me in your heart and you in my heart, that's enough. These little things can be ignored. "
After saying that, Li Hao kissed her directly, proving with actual actions that he liked her, and this was indeed useful, at least Qu Lengjun really didn't say these things later.
Later, with Qu Lengjun here, Li Hao's life became more detailed. After all, she was good at presiding over the affairs of the government, and she was much better than the rough guys under Li Hao.
The only thing that gave Li Hao a headache was that when Qu Lengjun heard the doctor say that Li Hao was deficient in energy and blood and needed meditation, he refused to let Li Hao have sex. This made Li Hao very angry.
Li Hao didn't think about this at first, but now that people are here, Li Hao's interest is aroused but he doesn't let it go. What's going on?
