Before it was time for his next shift, Wei Hejin hurried home.
The armor has not been removed.
Taking the battle report just sent from Guanzhou, he walked quickly to the courtyard of General Wei.
Old General Wei is getting older. Apart from tutoring a few juniors in the family, he has not seen outsiders for a long time. Except for his own family members who know that this old man is still strong and healthy, those outside who don't know about it think that this old general is too old to sleep.
At this time, General Wei was wearing a comfortable home-made cloth, which was dusty after dozens of washes. He had a big broom in his hand, walking back and forth, sweeping the yard line by line.
Every time he waved, he retained his strength and seemed to be heavy but actually light.
The same action is repeated over and over again, very rhythmically.
"Father, there is a battle report from Guanzhou. Five thousand rebels who sneaked into Guanzhou were suppressed. Chi'er and the others also led troops on the expedition. They are on the list."
There was a bit of joy on Wei Hejin's face.
"Chi'er and the others have made a great contribution!"
General Wei stopped and took the battle report to read.
As soon as I took a look, I realized something was wrong.
He frowned slightly.
"This is an official military report. How dare you take it at will?"
Wei Hejin hurriedly explained: "It was sent to me specially, along with this military report and a message from the King of England. He said that he was afraid that there would be rebels and rebels along the way, so he wanted to submit this war report through our general's palace.
.”
"Where is the letter? Bring it to me." General Wei saw the names of several boys in his family, but did not pay close attention to the merits described later.
What achievements can a half-grown boy accomplish?
The real battlefield has not yet happened. The Xizhou Army infiltrated 5,000 people and was discovered by Guanzhou. How difficult is it to close the door and beat the dogs in their own territory?
But it just happened to be the right time for them to catch up.
Or maybe, there's nothing wrong with these boys at all, it's because they sent them specially.
General Wei quickly rejected this idea.
In just a few short months, the reputation of the King of England gradually increased, and the letters sent from the north were exchanged with the ministers in the court, thousands of miles away.
Abruptly, he was squeezed into the position of candidate for heir apparent from being a lost prince.
The previous situation has been broken.
Many people are waiting for the King of England, the eldest son of the Crown, to be summoned to Beijing.
Take a look at the quality of this guy.
Even before people entered Beijing, the situation was already stirred up.
Such a British king would show favor to the Wei family, but could he manipulate the military newspaper to praise the boys in his family?
Absolutely impossible.
After reading the letter, General Wei somewhat understood.
"Submit this military report immediately. It must be done quickly. It must be seen by His Majesty tomorrow or before tomorrow morning."
The old general of Wei had been in the army for half his life, and the letter only mentioned a few words that Xirong might take advantage of the uprising against the king to cause chaos. He instantly realized that once Xirong participated in the war, the imperial army and the Guanzhou army would be divided into two battlefields.
The barbarians are like wolves and tigers, coveting the food, wealth and people in the pass, and they are extremely ferocious.
The two prefectures of Xizhou and Guanzhou have been guarding the border for generations. The soldiers of these two prefectures have fought hundreds of battles and are also brave.
But the imperial army has been fighting for years and has been at peace for a long time.
How can I defeat the fierce barbarians?
Even if you win, you will probably suffer a loss.
The reason why Guanzhou came to report this small victory in a hurry was because he expected that the rebel army would fall into a stalemate.
The rebellion against the king had been planned for many years. Xizhou was rich and Guanzhou was struggling to deal with it. They repeatedly urged the imperial court to release military supplies and grain.
Every dispute in the court was settled.
Even the King of England changed his old appearance, became radical and decisive, and could fight if he wanted to. There were also new young officials who had not lost their blood and fought passionately.
But it's too late.
Once the news of the defeat of the imperial army or the Guanzhou Army comes.
Your Majesty will be furious.
The civil servants in the imperial court who stood up straight and spoke without pain would also seize on this failure and suppress Guanzhou's supplies more confidently.
"Father, don't worry, I have already made up my mind. If we use our family's connections and do more things, we will definitely be able to do it in time. But..." Wei Hejin considered his words: "Since Chi'er and the others have made great contributions, and His Royal Highness also recognizes it, why not
The names of several of them should be moved forward."
General Wei looked at him with a blank expression.
"No other changes have been made. I just changed the position to make it more conspicuous."
Wei Hejin consciously planned for his nephews.
It is dangerous to rebel against the king right now, but it is also an opportunity.
As long as the King of England continues to use the Wei family, he will not let anything happen to those boys.
Look, this military report was sent to him.
The King of England had no one he could use in the capital, and the only ones he could rely on were the Wei family.
In the future, if the King of England can take a further step, the prosperity of the Wei family will be just around the corner!
General Wei thought of the small line at the end of the letter.
[Brother Wei is in Beijing, and the current situation is clear. This military report will be sent to His Majesty at an opportunity. He can delete and modify it as he pleases. The important thing is to get the baggage out of Beijing quickly. 】
"This line of fine print was written by the Mr. Yan you mentioned?"
Wei Hejin nodded and said, "It should be him."
General Wei shook his head and smiled again.
"If someone is being polite to you, do you take it seriously?" He shook the letter in his hand: "This letter is in his handwriting, and the battle report is also in his handwriting. It shows that this person is highly trusted by the King of England."
"Several letters from Chi'er said that they were in the camp of a general banner named Yan, who commanded more than a thousand soldiers. He had a son who was capable of fighting tigers and bears. He was still young, but he was extremely intelligent and liked military affairs.
, who is called Little General Yan. When his father is away, he can take charge of everything in the military camp, and no one in the army will be dissatisfied."
Old General Wei said slowly: "This General Yan is from the same family as Mr. Yan, right? Such a young general is so outstanding, why do you think Mr. Yan didn't report him to others?"
He thought to himself and said: "A young hero attracts the attention of everyone. It is easy to become famous but difficult to keep his life. If the enemy's eyes and ears detect him, he will be eliminated."
"You put the names of Chi'er and the others first. Those guys are so weak that they can't bear your kindness."
Wei Hejin blushed.
It seems that I really thought too little.
"Looking at the first achievement of this battle, it is Commander Yan. Oh, the King of England has invited him to be promoted to Vice President Qian. From the fifth rank, oh, you also have experience in the army. You have captured 5,000 rebels.
Is your contribution enough?"
"His boy, that Yan Xiaoer, saved the King of England..." Wei Hejin's voice weakened.
He was credited with saving the King of England, but on the other hand, he almost lost the prince's life in that mountain-exploding sneak attack.
"The King of England is generous. You should be lucky that His Highness didn't care about your stupidity before. This time, the military report was delivered to you. Do you think that the King of England has no one to use in Beijing? Only you, Wei Hejin, can our Wei family quickly
Will this military report be delivered to His Majesty quickly?"
Wei Hejin's eyes widened, as if he was surprised that his father could see through his mind.
General Wei looked at his son and sighed heavily in his heart.
Why doesn't he take care of himself in his old age, but still cultivates his younger generation with all his heart?
It's not because I can't count on such a stupid son.
Thinking of this, he said earnestly: "Don't forget, there is also the biological mother of the King of England in the palace. She has been with him for many years. Although she does not hold a high position, the throne in the palace can change its owner many times. Empress Zhao has always been there.
