Chapter 56 Heading to Qin
It is not difficult to see from everyone's performance that Qinzhou is a place with a harsh environment.
Xiao Yuan knew all this.
Is he stupid? Of course not stupid. Although the prefect of Qinzhou was somewhat beyond his expectations, he believed that it was better than General Wuwei of Du!
Although the two positions are very different, the court is corrupt and the treacherous ministers are taking power. Xiao Yuan has no background or backer. The only one who supports him is his sworn brother Zhong Bai.
But here, in the political whirlpool, if you really become General Duwuwei, how many powerful people will be jealous of the last consequence will definitely not be good. Maybe if something happens, you will have to implicate Zhong Bai. It is better to stay away from right and wrong.
It would be great to let them fight to be the prefect of Qinzhou by themselves. At least, he had the final say in the entire Qin area.
On the way out of the palace, Zhong Bai also followed Xiao Yuan in three steps and two steps, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiao, it's all my fault that I didn't prepare early, so that these powerful ministers could control Your Majesty's decision.
Brother Xiao was wronged and demoted to Qinzhou. He was also defeated by You Jian. Why is he? It’s not because there is someone behind him! These people are really hateful!"
He became more and more angry as he spoke, and there was a hint of self-blame in his tone. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled slightly and then said, "Hey? Brother Zhong doesn't have to worry about this matter. The prefect of Qinzhou is just the prefect of Qinzhou.
, there is nothing wrong with it."
"This! Brother Xiao!" Zhong Bai was anxious and said, "Don't worry, I will ask Your Majesty again later to advise on this matter!"
"No." Xiao Yuan said quickly: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and I have no complaints in my heart. Brother Zhong must not intervene too much to avoid causing trouble."
"Not these matter. I'm not afraid of them, but I'm not worth it for Brother Xiao!"
"Hey? Brothers, don't talk about this anymore." Xiao Yuan said seriously: "For me, going to Qinzhou is better than being in the capital. Brother Zhong should not worry about me."
"But once you go, Brother Xiao's future is worrying..."
On the other side, where Xiao Yuan stationed his troops outside the capital.
At this time, his generals and officials gathered together and were also discussing the matter of granting the title.
Peng Shuang said: "This time, our troops not only recaptured Fengcheng, but also opened up the situation for the Anyang County Army, but also rescued the Shengjia, recaptured the capital, captured the thief's head alive, laying the victory for the rebel army."
"That's right." Ye Cheng said: "All this was General Xiao's decision to lead us to achieve success. Who can do this merit except Mr. Zhong from Yangzhou?"
"Yes." Another general said: "For the general's merit, it should be no problem to be awarded a title for the second and third rank military officer of the capital. At that time, we will be promoted."
"Yes, yes..." People agreed, and their faces also showed excitement.
Everyone was happy and talked a lot, waiting for Xiao Yuan to return into the palace, but Liu Yuzhi did not speak. Seeing this, Peng Shuang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey? Lord Liu, what's your expression?"
Liu Yuzhi came back to his senses and said, "Now the general is entering the palace to receive the title of title. Before, I heard from Mr. Zhong that the general should be the general of Duwuwei."
"Oh?" The people calmed down, and Peng Shuang also said happily, "Then, this is really great!"
"Not necessarily." Liu Yuzhi shook his head slightly.
I didn't understand what he meant, so Peng Shuanggang was about to continue asking questions, but at this time, a soldier reported that Xiao Yuan had returned.
Upon hearing the news, the generals all met and gathered around Xiao Yuan. Peng Shuang was straightforward and started asking: "General, what's the result?"
"The Prefect of Qinzhou." Xiao Yuan said directly.
"What...what?" Everyone looked at each other and obviously didn't react.
"The Prefect of Qinzhou." Xiao Yuan repeated it again and looked at Peng Shuang with a funny look.
After he confirmed again, all the generals were stunned. Peng Shuang suddenly became anxious and his voice increased a little: "What the hell is this! Why! This is completely unfair!"
"There is no fairness in this world." Xiao Yuan's voice was plain, and he patted Peng Shuang on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't have to be excited.
But at this time, Liu Yuzhi smiled and bowed and said, "This is really great. I'm afraid the general will fully accept this prefect of Qinzhou in his heart, right?"
"Haha--" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled heartily and said, "Qinzhou is a good place."
As he spoke, he ignored the confusion of the generals and said, "Today, the emperor will give me a lot of wealth. Later, we will divide these into the soldiers below."
He gave all his money and property to the soldiers below. That night, he also held a banquet in the open air in the military camp, and all two thousand soldiers were present.
"Soldier!"
"exist!"
"Catch wine!"
"promise!"
At this time, Xiao Yuan was standing directly above, and there were two thousand soldiers standing quietly below. Everyone's hands were filled with a bowl of wine.
Looking at these young faces, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath first, and then said loudly:
"Soldiers!"
"Without your bloody battle, your home would have been destroyed long ago! Without your courage to fight the enemy, how can we eliminate the thieves and quell the rebellion!"
"Since Liucheng, all the soldiers have followed you all the way! I've remembered all the achievements of fighting the ghost clan, quelling civil strife, and making great achievements here!" Xiao Yuan pointed to his heart and continued to shout:
"Now, we are going to Qinzhou! Go to Qinzhou to open up a new world!"
"I wish to follow the general, front and back!" The people shouted in unison, holding wine bowls, looking at Xiao Yuan without blinking.
"Go to Qinzhou! Take your family with you, and then we will live there! There is no house, I will build it for you, and there is no land, I will cultivate it for you!"
"Sir, I've done it!"
"General!"
There is no doubt about the morale of this army. After Xiao Yuan was rewarded by the imperial court, he rewarded the three armies in the camp that night.
Two days later, he also brought this group of old subordinates, took the documents and prepared to rush to Qinzhou with his official seal.
Before leaving, his sworn brother Zhong Bai naturally came to see him off.
In a wilderness outside the capital, two thousand soldiers marched slowly. Zhong Bai and Xiao Yuan bowed to each other. The former looked worried and said:
"Brother Xiao, I'll take care of you when I go to Qinzhou."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhong doesn't have to worry, just..." At this point, Xiao Yuan paused and said:
"The situation in the court is complicated, and the emperor is not a wise ruler, and there are treacherous ministers who are playing power. Brother Zhong is in court. Unlike me, I am a little worried..."
"Hey? Brother Xiao is too worried. I have nothing to worry about here." Zhong Bai didn't care. After saying that, he bowed again and said reluctantly:
"treasure."
