Chapter 52: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds

After arresting half of Luo, Zhao Ziliang said to the soldiers: "Escort half of Luo back to the fort, and the others will continue to chase and kill with me!" โ€

"No!"

At this time, Fu Meng Lingjing was leading the Tang cavalry to pursue and kill the Tucai cavalry, and after more than an hour of pursuit, they had been chasing and killing for more than 50 miles on the north shore of Qingshui Lake, and the Tang cavalry returned with their captives one after another.

Fu Meng Lingjing sat on the main seat of the main hall of Tuoyun Fort, and the generals and colonels came over one after another to report the results of the battle, and finally Wang Tao stepped forward and said: "General, we have captured more than 800 people in this battle, killed more than 2,000 people, and only a few hundred people escaped from the Tuqi Shi people!" โ€

"Hahahaยทยทยทยทยทยท" Fu Meng Lingjing laughed, he was obviously in a good mood, he smiled and looked left and right, and found that Zhao Ziliang was not there, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is Ziliang?" Where is Ziliang? โ€

All the generals shook their heads, saying that they didn't know, Panzhu Junxiu stood up and saluted: "General Qiyu, Zhao Ziliang captured the leader of the Turgish army, the leader of the Rat Nishi tribe, and then he took his men and horses to continue to chase and kill the Turgish, I think he should be on his way back!" โ€

"Oh?" After hearing this, Fu Meng Lingjing thought about it and said to Wang Tao: "Send a few people to find it!" โ€

Wang Tao was just about to agree, when he heard Zhao Ziliang's voice outside: "General, don't look for it, I'm back!" โ€

As soon as the words fell, I saw a bloody man walking in with a horse lance, walked to the hall and saluted Fu Meng Lingxi: "General, my subordinates have captured the leader of the Tuqi Shi army, Ban Chuluo, and the leader of the Geshu tribe, Ge Shuchang!" โ€

"Ziliang is really brave!" Fu Meng Lingjing was overjoyed and immediately said, "Bring them up quickly!" โ€

"No!" Zhao Ziliang agreed, turned around and waved his hand outward: "Bring it up!" โ€

Several Tang soldiers escorted Luo and Ge Shuchang, who were disheveled and dejected, and walked into the main hall.

"Kneel, kneel!" The soldiers of the Tang Army drank half of Luo and Ge Shuchang.

Banchu Luo and Ge Shuchang are also clan leaders, although they are defeated, how can they kneel? The two of them were immediately furious: "If you want to kill, you will kill, you want me to wait to kneel and bow my head, dreaming!" โ€

With a "bang", Fu Meng Lingjing slapped the case, and said angrily with a cold face: "Death is on the verge of death, and you are still playing tricks in front of General Ben?" Someone, drag it down and behead it, and send the head back to Shattered Leaf Town! โ€

"No, never!" As soon as Fu Mengling's words fell, Judge Liu Rong stopped him, and stood up and said: "General, these two people are the tribal leaders of the Tuqishi, and this matter needs to be reported to Lord Gai before making a decision, and the general must not be arbitrary!" โ€

Fu Meng Lingjing thought about it and felt that Liu Rong had some truth in what he said, so he said: "Lord Liu is right, since this is the case, I will take these two people down for the time being, and I will make a decision after I report to Lord Gai!" โ€

"No!"

The soldiers escorted Banchu Luo and Ge Shuchang down.

Zhao Ziliang turned around and presented the horse lance with both hands: "General, the battle is over, please take back the horse lance!" The cloak will be cleaned by the subordinates before being returned! โ€

Because of the material, workmanship and time-consuming, the cost of the top horse lance is extremely high, and the generals who can use the top horse lance are generally from a family of military generals, so the top horse lance has also become a symbol of the military generals from the family. Zhao Ziliang didn't know how much this horse lance cost, but he knew that the cost of this horse lance was definitely not a small amount, so he didn't dare to accept it. As for the cloak, it was a standard piece of equipment that only generals were distributed, and even if he left it, he couldn't put it on his body without permission from above.

Fu Meng Lingjing got up with a smile and walked over and patted Zhao Ziliang on the shoulder and said: "This horse lance, this general is not easy to use, it is too heavy, I see that you play it handy, this horse lance should be yours, since this general has already rewarded you, then it is yours, you also keep the cloak, this time you have the greatest credit, if it is not for you to kill the seven generals of the Turian Cavalry one after another, and take advantage of the great decline in the morale of the Turian Cavalry, seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, how could we achieve such a big victory?" This general will discuss meritorious deeds and reward, and temporarily show you as the captain of Zhaowu! If it weren't for the fact that you had just been promoted, with your merits this time, it would be more than enough to show you as a ranger general, and when you make military merits in the future, this general will show your merits to the imperial court! Don't shirk it! โ€

Zhao Ziliang saw that his husband Meng Lingjing said this, and he didn't shirk it, and saluted: "Thank you to your subordinates for the promotion!" โ€

"You deserve it!"

Zhao Ziliang's promotion this time is a real military merit, all the generals and soldiers see it, and it is no problem to be promoted to general with his merits, Fumeng Lingjing just shows him as a captain of Zhaowu, or to protect him, so as not to let him be too prominent and cause others to be jealous, all the generals and colonels also understand this, although some people are very jealous of Zhao Ziliang's merits, but with Fumeng Lingjing's words, others are not easy to say.

According to the rank, Captain Zhaowu is equivalent to the official rank on the sixth grade, and he is only one step away from entering the ranks of generals.

It was Bi Sichen who reacted first, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Captain Zhao!" โ€

Bi Sichen can be said to be grateful to Zhao Ziliang this time, without Zhao Ziliang blocking Ge Shutong for him, I am afraid that he will be in a different place by now and become a dead soul in the underworld. Therefore, when he had the opportunity to express his gratitude, of course he would not let go and was the first to stand up and congratulate.

The others reacted and congratulated one after another.

Next, Wang Tao reported the credit of everyone else to Fu Meng Lingjing, almost no one here has some credit, even Zhao Ziliang's gang leaders Huo Kan, Wei Meng and He Zhong also have a lot of credit, and Panzhu Junxiu is no exception.

After listening to Wang Tao's report, Fu Meng Lingjing began to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, he was the highest military governor of Shule Town, and within the scope of his authority, anyone who could call the shots could be rewarded by himself.

Most of the meritorious soldiers have been rewarded with gold and silver, acres of land, etc., and some have been promoted by military ranks, but this is very little, after all, the promotion of some military ranks is not something he can decide, and he must be shown to the above, and the above allows it, but if the merit is true, the above will generally not refuse.

Zhao Ziliang didn't want a reward, Fumeng Lingjing had already given him a top-level horse lance, and also rewarded a cloak, and it would be a bit too much to say if he wanted a reward, but Fumeng Lingjing said that the horse lance and cloak were given by him privately, and had nothing to do with the reward, and in the end he still received a reward of fifty taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and one hundred acres of fertile land outside Shule City.

Panzhu Junxiu received ten horses of silk and one hundred taels of silver, Huo Kan, Wei Meng, and He Zhong all received one hundred taels of silver and one hundred catties of beef and mutton, Jia Chongjun, Zhao Chongxuan and others also received two hundred taels of silver and two hundred catties of beef and mutton, and the generals and soldiers brought by Fumeng Lingjing this time also had their own rewards.
