Chapter 27: Honest Man Li Silang
"At that time, Captain Liu led his troops to chase after the Yang brothers, and our troops happened to be at the bank of the Yellow River."
Early the next morning, Li Yuanhui and Liu Xuanji were called to the central military tent for a talk.
Li Yuanhui stood in front of the commander's desk and explained what had happened in detail. Murong Ding, who was sitting in the main seat, listened absent-mindedly.
Liu Xuanji was half a body length behind Li Yuanhui, but he secretly thought that General Li was a really honest man. He did not erase any of his achievements and even praised him in his words. How great it would be if he was a captain in his own unit?
After listening to this, Murong Ding looked up at the two men. Although Yang Xun was his son-in-law, when things had come to this point, it was natural that his Murong family would come first.
Although my first impression of Li Yuanhui was very ordinary, this kid's luck is really amazing.
Besides, Liu Xuanji is a warrior from the border area. He has a good appearance and is obviously a good fighter. He can be promoted.
Murong Ding came to his senses and quickly announced the reward.
All the cavalrymen who followed Li Yuanhui and Liu Xuanji were promoted one level, rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and given wine and meat.
As for the two people in charge, they will report to the saint and will naturally be rewarded accordingly.
Liu Xuanji heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude. This was the first time he had the opportunity to enter the general's tent.
He was a little flustered when performing the ceremony, which made the generals in the tent laugh.
After announcing the reward, Murong Ding asked everyone to leave, but asked Li Yuanhui and Liu Xuanji to walk with him, which could be regarded as a kind of recognition.
Walking out of the camp, Murong Ding walked in front without looking back, followed by Li Yuanhui and Liu Xuanji, while the bodyguards tactfully kept a distance of about ten steps from him.
"Did Yang Xun leave any words when he died?"
Li Yuanhui truthfully recounted the situation in detail.
".Yang Xun said he didn't want to be captured and humiliated, so he asked his brother to kill him."
"In your opinion, what kind of person is Yang Xun?"
When Li Yuanhui heard this question, he felt overwhelmed, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "A rebellious person who does evil things."
Murong Ding smiled when he heard this, "Why did he gather a hundred thousand people in just one month?"
Li Yuanhui thought for a moment and said, "He is the one who is deceiving people."
"Hahahaha. Is that really the case?"
Murong Ding looked back, but Li Yuanhui didn't dare to look at him and immediately lowered his head.
I can't respond to this. How can I say that the Murong family is too oppressive and makes it difficult for the people to survive?
Murong Ding turned his head after laughing, then sighed and said, "Actually, you are right. Yang Xun is just a rebel, and those people were bewitched by him."
People are old and refined, and ghosts are old and spiritual.
Since he was a teenager, he had followed his father and brothers to fight in the Central Plains and pacify the heroes. He has seen many ups and downs. What could he not understand?
No one dares to tell the truth now.
This is true even for the young man who made great contributions in this battle to quell the rebellion.
But what the court needs is upright people who dare to speak the truth.
But even if there is such a person, will the one who makes the decision listen to him?
We can only hope that this rebellion can serve as a warning to the saint, otherwise the Great Yan Empire may not be at peace.
Yang Xun died, and his brothers Yang Shancai, Yang Xi, Yang Heng, his cousin Yang Gongdao, and a number of his confidants were either captured or killed.
However, during the post-war inventory process, many fish that had slipped through the net were discovered.
Yang Xun's sons, Yang Feixiong, Yang Lie, Yang Duan, Yang Qing, his brother Yang Kan, his cousin Yang Sui, Yang Huaiyi, etc., all disappeared. The Yan army searched the entire south bank of the Yellow River, and wanted to chop every stone they passed by, on the one hand to capture the rebels and on the other hand to find these Yang family members.
It lasted for five days, and many defeated soldiers were captured, but no one from the Yang family was found.
So Murong Ding also gave the order to withdraw his troops and return to Luoyang at the right time.
Li Yuanhui also became famous because he brought back Yang Xun's body. I swear to God, this was not his original intention.
He was riding on a horse, walking in the long marching column, with his cousins Dou Xianjun and Zhao Er riding on his left and right.
Both of them were amazed at Li Yuanhui's luck.
"Silang, you have shown up again this time. This time you are in Luoyang, you will inevitably be summoned by the Saint. First you shot Yang Xi to death, and then brought back Yang Xun and Yang Shancai. I'm afraid you will be conferred a title. At least a Viscount, right?"
The title system of Great Yan was basically inherited from the previous Great Wei. And the title system of Great Wei was customized after the reform by Emperor Xuan of Wei.
It is divided into nine levels: Prince, Prince of a County, Duke of a State, Duke of a County, Marquis of a County, Marquis of a County, Earl of a County, Son of a County, and Baron of a County.
Among them, the title of king would not be granted to officials from other families except the Duan family.
It can be regarded as a simplification of the original system of founding dukes, founding county dukes, founding county marquises, founding county marquises, founding marquises, founding sons, and founding men that should have appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty in history.
Dou Xianjun was openly envious, while Zhao Er was secretly jealous.
This luck is simply unmatched. Just one arrow can turn the tide, and with just a few steps, he can capture the rebel general.
Who wouldn’t be jealous?
What can Li Yuanhui say? He can only say "lucky, lucky"
Not to mention Dou Xianjun and Zhao Er, even his uncle Dou Guang and General Pang Lingxun of Zhenxi were filled with disbelief when they learned that he had brought back Yang Xun's body.
Fortunately, Li Yuanhui's family background was high enough, he was from the Longxi Li family, and his father was one of the Nine Ministers. Others might be jealous but would only give him a few envious eyes and say a few sour words at most.
Li Yuanhui didn't care about these at all, as he still had Prince Gaoyang as his backer.
Li Yuanhui was a little surprised by Murong He's expression after he knew that he had made another great contribution. Why did he seem even more excited than when he himself had made the contribution?
In fact, he didn't know that Murong He had made up his mind to help him get a position as the son-in-law of the emperor.
I was thinking that although the King of Gaoyang was not very capable, he was a good person and could get along with others. When our Li family takes over the world, we can take care of him as a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
The premise is that he is still alive.
If the person is gone, then please take care of his family. I am really kind.
Unlike Li Yuanhui who was forcing himself to smile, Liu Xuanji Liu Duizheng was in high spirits these days. Although the captain of the headquarters did not like him very much and complained why he did not bring the people back alone.
But none of that matters now.
"Mr. Li is such a kind man," Liu Xuanji, who was riding on a horse, sighed again.
Zhang Shiwu beside him said, "Liu Tou, you've said this eight hundred times in the past few days."
Liu Xuanji glanced at him and said, "You don't understand. This Mr. Li is my benefactor. Without him, even if we brought back Yang Xun's body, we would at most be promoted to a captain, and it would be good to get a reward of a few hundred yuan. With the temper of our Captain Huang, it would be him who led his men to capture Yang Xun. When Mr. Li reported his merits, he said a lot of good things for me. This is the first time in my life that I have entered the general's central military tent. It's really impressive. The general even said several words to me. Maybe when I arrive in Luoyang, I can even be summoned by the saint. I never thought that I, with the surname Liu, would have this day. Maybe in a few years, I will be the general, hahahaha."
When Zhang Shiwu heard what Liu Xuanji said, he agreed, "Yeah, right, right."
But he didn't think so. Liutou was a good person in every way except that he liked to brag. In the past, when he was drunk, he liked to brag about how his ancestors were relatives of the Han Dynasty and that they were from the same family as Liu Xuande of Shu Han, and that he would be granted a title of nobility in the future. But he started to brag these few days when he didn't drink.
A few days ago, he was drunk and dared to say that he wanted to be a Tiger Guard General. Now, since he brought back the rebel leader, he even dares to dream of becoming a general.
When he really becomes a captain, what dreams will he still dare to have?
What is above the general? The prince still dare not even think about it.
