"Okay, that's it for now, no more words!" Emperor Linde's words finalized the dispute. "Now we have to discuss with all the ministers what should be done with these three righteous men.
Reward?!"
There is no greater military merit than beheading generals, lifting flags, ascending first, and jumping in the air.
The first of the four major military achievements is to ascend first.
Fan Kuai, the Marquis of Wuyang in the former Han Dynasty, is famous for his pioneering achievements. No matter the Liu Group, Lu Group and the Heroes Group, they all respect him very much.
Attack Puyang, ascend first, and behead twenty-three.
Attacked Wanling, ascended first, beheaded and captured fifty-two people.
Attack Wancheng and ascend first.
Attack Yongcheng and ascend first.
Attack Zhicheng and ascend first.
Attack Haojun, ascend first, behead one person each of the county magistrate and county magistrate, and behead and capture thirty-one people.
For ordinary people, being the first to achieve such a military exploit, even if it only happens once in a lifetime, is still worthy of a special mention. This kind of honor will not only bring rewards and status to oneself, but also be worth boasting about for a lifetime and even being famous in history. And like Fan Kuai
It is extremely rare to find a warrior who has made countless achievements first, and it is even impossible to find a second person.
However, today, the achievements of Li Taibai, Lang Fanyun, and Mo Guanlan can no longer be calculated by the ordinary four major military achievements.
Not only did they defeat tens of thousands of Japanese troops head-on and solve the crisis in the eastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they even captured the crown prince and crown prince of Japan alive. Such military achievements of defeating the army and capturing the king would be unbelievable anywhere. It would have been in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
, it’s not a problem to change to a marquis.
"Your Majesty, these three righteous men have made great contributions to the country. Please ennoble them!" Li Chengguang, Minister of War, was the first to ask for merit.
If something really happened in Yuezhou, then Li Chengguang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Wu Keming, the Governor of the Sixth Army, would naturally be the biggest culprits in the court, and it would be normal for them to take the blame and resign.
After all, one of them is the supreme leader of the imperial court's local defense, and the other is the nominal supreme military commander of the imperial court.
They are not responsible for this, who is responsible for this?!
The actions of Li Langmo and three others to defeat Japan indirectly saved the political lives of Li Chengguang and Wu Keming!
Li Chengguang naturally wanted to take credit for the three of them, since he didn’t have to pay for it anyway! How nice it was to be a smooth favor!
Naturally, it is easy for people to be dissatisfied by directly making an earl. However, after the emperor's words just now, the people who originally wanted to speak stopped speaking at the moment. After all, in this matter, it can be said that everyone has a responsibility.
Yang Qingyuan has mentioned this matter many times, but it has not been taken seriously. Isn't this the fault of them?!
It is foolish to raise objections without clarifying one's own responsibilities. Those present are all smart people, so naturally they will not do this!
"Li Qing, what kind of title do you think it should be?"
After Li Chengguang thought for a while, he said, "The lord of this dynasty is a Duke, a Marquis, an uncle, a son, and a son. He has been in the world for generations. There are six doors in front of him. Liu Dufeng, the chief general, is loyal and loyal to the country. The memory of the late emperor is
For his meritorious service, he is specially awarded the title of Uncle Wu Wei. I think Liu Dufeng can still be awarded the title of Uncle because of his contribution, how much more so than the three righteous men?!"
…
Liu Dufeng: Come on, come out and let’s challenge each other! I’ll give you a hand!
What does it mean that Liu Dufeng can be granted the title of Uncle?! Do you hear this is human language?!
…
But Liu Dufeng was not at the scene, and even if he was at the scene, he would not be able to express any opinions.
On the contrary, it was Li Chengguang's words that caused all the ministers present to nod frequently. What he said was so reasonable that there was no way to refute it?!
"As for whether it will be passed down from generation to generation?! I believe that it can be allowed to be passed down to three generations without any cuts. If it makes new achievements in the future, it can be promoted to be hereditary."
Just after Li Chengguang finished expressing his opinion, a Jin Yiwei sent the intelligence of Li, Lang, and Mo to Emperor Linde.
Li Taibai, Lang Fanyun, and Mo Guanlan, as the peerless swordsmen of the previous generation, naturally have detailed records of these three people in Da Zhou's intelligence.
Li Taibai is not bad, after all, he was once a Hanlin bachelor in Dazhou.
Both Lang Fanyun and Mo Guanlan were former rebels of the imperial court.
Mo Guanlan, the original four-dragon leader of the Qinglong Society, had amazing cultivation and a mysterious personality. Later, he had conflicts with the Qinglong Society for unknown reasons and withdrew from the Qinglong Society. He once assisted the court in dealing with the rebel Sun En in the Yuezhou Salary Company.
Lang Fanyun was not angry about Taizu's killing of King Xiao Ming, so he assisted the Nu Jiao Gang to fight against the imperial court, and fought against the Dongting navy many times. Until the reign of Emperor Taizong Wen, he even committed rebellion.
Thinking of conferring knighthoods on these two people, even though Emperor Linde's mentality was good enough, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Mo Guanlan should be fine, it seems that he has no ill feelings towards the Zhou court.
But Lang Fanyun would definitely not be willing to accept the Lordship of the Great Zhou Court, and it would be another troublesome matter then.
"His Majesty?!"
Wang Hua said softly, the implication of which was to ask Emperor Linde if he had anything else to do.
"Nothing? It's just that Jin Yiwei sent some information about Yuezhou. As for the matter of the knighthood just now, just do what Li Qing said! The cabinet drew up a note for me to see!"
"yes!"
"Let's put this matter aside for now. For the imperial court, the war in the north is the top priority!"
Cao Xueyang's design is being implemented step by step.
There were spies of King Zhao's rebels in Jinyang who were working in detail, but Cao Xueyang deliberately caught the big ones and released the small ones. He not only showed a very vigilant look, but also ensured that the intelligence could be conveyed to Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong through these remaining spies.
.
"How is the morale of the army?!" Cao Xueyang, wearing Ling Jue Armor, holding his sword in his left hand, asked while looking at the terrain map around Jinyang.
"The generals and lieutenants in the army are trying their best to boost morale, but the effect is not good!" Mrs. Yang Si's face looked a little ugly.
Morale is something that is really difficult to control.
In a desperate situation, ordinary people may lose the courage to resist; but people like the Marquis of Huaiyin can inspire the morale of the soldiers, making them fight the enemy bravely and double their combat power.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the era of cold weapons, morale has an even greater impact on the combat effectiveness of the army than military discipline and equipment.
"Grand Governor, are we going to fight Zhang Shimei's army like this?!"
There are only two days left until Cao Xueyang sets the date for leaving the city to fight. It is almost impossible to keep the morale of the Longwu Army soldiers high within these two days.
"You just act according to my arrangements. Since I asked the emperor for orders, I will not fight an uncertain battle!" Cao Xueyang seemed to be sure of victory.
Seeing this, Fourth Madam Yang put down her uneasiness.
Although Cao Xueyang was a woman, the trust she brought to the Longwu Army was unmatched by anyone, not even General Zhao Tianlin, who had already died for his country.
This kind of Longwu Army was created from scratch in the hands of Cao Xueyang, from immature to strong.
She is the founder of this new Longwu Army.
With such a mood, Mrs. Yang retired. As Cao Xueyang's confidant general, she still had many things to do.
When the fourth lady turned around and left the handsome tent, she didn't notice that the confident smile on Cao Xueyang's lips disappeared!
How can we be sure of winning?! Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has suffered a new defeat and morale is low. Under such circumstances, why should we talk about winning?!
It's just that as the commander of the army, Cao Xueyang must ensure the confidence to win and give confidence to the soldiers under her command. If she, the commander, has no confidence, how can others have the will to fight?
…
----------------------------------
Twenty miles outside Jinyang City.
This is the new camp for Zhang Shimei's army, which was just completed yesterday.
Ever since she learned that Cao Xueyang wanted to fight, Zhang Shimei had an unbearable smile on her face every day.
A female prostitute, leading a group of recruits with low morale, wants to fight a decisive battle with herself?!
Cao Xueyang doesn’t think she’s just lucky enough to kill a few foreign kings, so she really thinks she can do it!?
Regarding Cao Xueyang's luck, it is impossible to say that Zhang Shimei is not jealous!
Destroying a country and beheading a king are unparalleled achievements that will go down in history!
Why did General Zhang Wenyuan of Cao Wei enter the Martial Arts Temple?! Do you really think he relied on Sun Shiwan to carry him?!
The Battle of Hefei was, to put it bluntly, a defensive counterattack. Although the victory was beautiful enough, the essence of the defensive counterattack could not be escaped. It was almost impossible for him to enter the Martial Arts Temple.
What really brought Zhang Wenyuan into the Martial Arts Temple was the Battle of Bailang Mountain.
Under the command of Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, he used his weak and exhausted troops to defeat Wuhuan's elite cavalry head-on, and killed Wuhuan's leader, Tadun Shanyu.
In one battle, destroying a country's formation and beheading its king was Zhang Wenyuan's capital to enter the martial arts temple.
And Cao Xueyang killed the Khan of the Ogedai Khanate, the Prince of Beiqian, and the Regent of Houjin. These three great achievements of killing kings not only made Cao Xueyang a marquis as a woman, but also made his reputation pass down through the ages.
This made Zhang Shimei feel unhappy. She had followed King Zhao conscientiously to guard the North for many years, and what had she gained?!
If you can defeat Cao Xueyang head-on, it will be equivalent to being able to rise to the top based on her military exploits!
Zhang Shimei has already chosen the location for the decisive battle - Pojun Valley.
This Pojun Valley was originally called Eagle Attack Valley. Six years ago, Wuxiang Marquis Yang Qingyuan defeated the 300,000-strong army of Monk Wanyan Chen, the famous general of the Later Jin Dynasty, with 7,000 troops here, so he named it Pojun Valley.
After passing the mouth of Pojun Valley, there is a large plain called Hongyeyuan. Zhang Shimei plans to completely defeat Cao Xueyang here. After defeating Zhou Dynasty, he can mobilize his only elite.
If this battle is won, a quarter of this land will be under the control of Prince Zhao's Mansion!
Once a person is lucky, nothing can stop him. Just when Zhang Shimei was arranging the deployment of the army, the gauntlet came!
Cao Xueyang’s War Letter!
She made an appointment with Zhang Shimei, and two days later, the army faced off to decide the winner!
"This Cao Xueyang actually tries to boost morale in this way! Ridiculous?!"
Then Zhang Shimei looked at Zhu Shihong, "Brother Shihong, how is your injury?!"
Zhu Shihong patted his chest and said disdainfully, "Before, I was defeated by Cao Xueyang's stinky bitch's trick. Now that I have been recuperating and recuperating these days, my injuries have already healed. If I can meet this stinky bitch again,
We, I will definitely let her know how powerful I am with my pear-blossom-opening mountain axe!"
It's a pity that Zhu Shihong has no culture. He didn't know that the owner of Lihua Mountain Axe, Lingling General Xing Daorong, would not end well...
"Since Brother Shihong has recovered from his injury, there is something I can ask Brother Shihong to do!"
"What's the matter?!"
Zhang Shimei pretended to be mysterious, "How about coming here?!"
Zhu Shihong listened intently, and his eyes lit up, "General, please rest assured, the general will definitely complete the mission!"
Zhang Shimei patted Zhu Shihong on the shoulder.
"Brother, be careful and beware of an ambush by the Confederate Army!" Zhu Shihong cupped his hands, then mounted his famous horse, the Curly Lion Beast, and headed towards Jinyang City.
Although this curly lion beast is not as white as Cao Xueyang's divine horse, it is also a rare horse in the world. The thirty-mile journey took Zhu Shihong almost no time to arrive at the gate of Jinyang City.
This time he did not carry the Pear Blossom Mountain Axe. Although this giant ax was incredibly powerful, its weakness was also obvious. It was too heavy!
There is no problem in carrying him in battle, but it would be too outrageous to carry this ax on a long-distance attack.
Therefore, Zhu Shihong came outside the east gate of Jinyang City carrying only one long sword.
Seeing the sudden arrival of a man and a horse, the city defense troops in Jinyang City were still on alert. A row of crossbow arrows were already cocked and could be fired at any time.
"Who are you?!" the general responsible for guarding the east gate asked.
"I am a lieutenant under General Zhang, and I am here to return the letter of war!" Zhu Shihong did not reveal his identity, but deliberately pretended to be a lieutenant, just to show that King Zhao's army was full of talents.
After speaking, Zhu Shihong picked up his bow and arrow and aimed at the rising Longwu Army battle flag on the east gate of Jinyang City.
"Whoosh!"
As Zhu Shihong raised his hand and fired an arrow, a battle flag flew towards the east gate with the sound of breaking through the sky.
The soldiers on the city tower had no time to react, but when they saw this arrow, they shot down the Longwu Army battle flag on the east gate of Jinyang City.
"this!"
The effective range of the Longwu Army's Divine Machine Crossbow is only 450 steps, but the enemy is far away, which clearly exceeds the effective shooting range of the Longwu Army's Divine Machine Crossbow.
"I'm afraid this man's archery skills are not as good as those of the generals in our Longwu Army!?"
With a strong bow, there are only a handful of people in the entire Longwu Army who can shoot a distance of 600 steps.
"Are all the captains in King Zhao's army so brave?!"
"I'm very excited about this battle!"
…
On top of the city tower, the sound of exchanges between Long Wu's soldiers suddenly sounded.
This is what Zhang Shimei wants to achieve. To further damage the morale of the Southern Army through this reply.
Despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically
Zhang Shimei may not have heard this wise saying, but he also acted according to it. Before the war started, he tried his best to weaken the enemy's power so that his side could gain a greater advantage.
His plan did have a certain effect. It is said that the soldiers at the East City Gate were panicked after seeing this scene.
Zhao Wangjun is so good at fighting that he is no match for them!
The news once reached Cao Xueyang's Chinese army commander, but Cao Xueyang did not make any special reaction and seemed to be fully preparing for the decisive battle two days later.
This news reached Zhang Shimei's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, which made him even more happy and confident.
"Cao Xueyang thought victory or defeat was decided on the battlefield, but she didn't know that there were many things outside the battlefield that could affect the outcome. She was still too young. The battle was already decided!"
