Chapter 180: On Meritorious Deeds

"Sister Xue'er, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're beautiful again." Hua An smiled, and first praised Han Xueyu.

"Hey, hey!" Han Xueyu was praised by Hua An, pouted, and became shy.

Hua An took advantage of this effort, and quickly straightened out the quilt that he had tossed and messed up, and then squatted down, looked at Han Xueyu, and said mysteriously: "Sister Xue'er, my brother must not tell me about sleeping on your bed, this is a little secret between us!" ”

"Okay, pull the hook." Han Xueyu was also mysterious, and then stretched out her little finger to hook Hua'an.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, and you won't change for 10,000 years." The two pulled the hook and completed the most primitive ritual.

"Sister Xue'er, when did Sister Wang leave?" Hua An asked softly.

Han Xueyu looked up at the roof, and after a moment, frowned and said, "I don't remember, Sister Wang has been away for many days." ”

"Oh, really?" Hua An nodded, which at least showed that his mother did not lie, and Wang Ling did leave.

"After Sister Wang leaves, you will move to this house!" Huaan then asked.

Han Xueyu nodded desperately and explained loudly: "When Sister Wang left, she asked Xue'er to live in this house, and my sister also asked Xue'er to clean the house every day, not to let the house be covered with dust, and not to mess with the things in the house. ”

When Hua An heard this, a ripple suddenly stirred up in his heart, Wang Ling's purpose in doing this was to leave an impression that he had never left, so that he could feel her existence as soon as he entered the house, so that he would not forget her.

"Ling'er, how could I have forgotten you." Hua An was full of emotion in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became a little moist.

"Hey, Brother Hua'an, when Sister Wang left, there was something for you, here." Han Xueyu said and pulled out a pink handkerchief from under the bed.

Hua An took the handkerchief and looked at it, there was a majestic general embroidered on it, next to it was a banner with the word 'Hua', and a young woman was embroidered below, snuggling in the arms of this general, and the word 'Xi' was embroidered next to it.

Hua An looked at it carefully for a long time, the general's appearance was really similar to himself, and the woman in the general's arms, with her big eyes full of aura, who else could she be if she wasn't Ling'er.

"Ling'er wants me to become a general, don't forget to fulfill my promise and marry him!" Hua An closed his eyes slightly, and there was a burst of emotion in his heart.

With the thought of Wang Ling, Hua'an lived at home for a few days, these months, has been fighting on the front line, and his body is indeed tired, recuperating at home for a few days, Hua'an feels more relaxed than ever.

At the moment when Hua'an took leave and returned home to recuperate, the civil and military ministers of the court were not idle, and the three main armies of the Great Jin Dynasty successfully repelled Shi Hu's southbound army.

This was a very simple matter, but the fact was not the case, the soldiers who participated in the war, in order to get rich rewards, have falsely reported the results of the battle, and those who had destroyed 1,000 enemies but falsely reported 2 or 3,000 were everywhere.

If the heads of the people who were cut off were not enough, they filled the number with the heads of civilians who had been killed or starved to death by the enemy on the road, and even cut off the heads of comrades who had already died in battle.

There were also enemy troops who were drowned, burned, and fell off cliffs, and when they could not leave their bodies, the water of false reports was even greater, and in the end, the total number of enemies destroyed by the three armies was as high as 200,000.

This is obviously difficult to convince the important ministers of the DPRK, after all, the total number of troops sent by Shi Hu is only 150,000, and the front-line troops are only 100,000, and they have not been completely annihilated.

If the reward is issued according to the false report of the war exploits, the court will naturally not be able to bear it, and kill 200,000 enemies, how much reward will be enough.

Therefore, the imperial court sent officials to the military camps to carefully check in the hope of obtaining an accurate number of enemy annihilations, but these verification officials relied on their power to ask for bribes, and if they could not get bribes, they would remove half or even half of the reported number of enemies destroyed.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, which killed the most enemies, because Han Qian did not serve the officials who had a good inspection, the results of the battle were picked up by these officials about sixty percent, but Han Qian had no intention of fighting for merit, and he did not refute too much, so he recognized it.

The situation of the Yangzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army was better, only 30% of them were cut, and the results were basically the same as those of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After several days of verification, the total number of enemies destroyed by the three armies was about 20,000, and the total number of enemies destroyed was 60,000.

In the palace hall of the capital, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together, and the main generals of the various armies who participated in the war also stood in it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have made great contributions to the successful repulsion of the enemy army this time, and I am very grateful." Sima Yan first praised the important ministers of the court.

"Share the worries for the emperor, and the ministers will not give up." The important ministers of the DPRK and the central government clasped their fists and spoke in unison.

"For those who have merit, I will definitely be rewarded." After Sima Yan finished speaking, he glanced at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch understood, took a few steps forward, opened the holy decree, and shouted softly: "Xuan Emperor's will, this time to repel Hu Lu, all the soldiers have made great contributions, and the following rewards are specially made, Uncle Yu Liang, Sikong Xi Jian, and strategizing to break the strong enemy, each with a bounty of 100,000 dan, 10,000 dani of rice, Pingbei General Han Qian, the capture general Mao Bao, and the general Wang Yunzhi of Dangkou, who fought bravely, took the lead, each with a bounty of 50,000 and 5,000 dani of rice...... Other generals and other meritorious people are rewarded. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Yu Liang, Xi Jian, Han Qian, and other ministers of civil and military affairs who received the rewards all knelt on the ground and thanked Sima Yan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up." Sima Yan hurriedly asked the kneeling minister to get up.

"Your Majesty." The ministers clasped their fists and thanked them, and stood up on both sides of the hall.

Sima Yan's gaze swept over the faces of the ministers one by one, and asked softly: "Generals, there are people under your command who have made particularly outstanding contributions, and I will reward them separately." ”

Seeing Sima Yan say this, the generals of the various armies immediately came out of the ranks with their fists and recommended their capable generals one after another.

"Your Majesty, Shi Jin, the captain of the headquarters, led fifty soldiers and annihilated hundreds of enemies, which is the first credit for our army."

"Your Majesty, Liu Dong, the brave general of the headquarters, rode alone, and killed three enemy generals."

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhi, the commander of the headquarters, led a hundred troops, defeated five hundred enemy troops, and killed several enemy generals."

………

"Hahaha, my Dajin is really full of talents, and all armies have brave warriors, this is really the blessing of my Dajin!" Sima Yan couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that the generals and colonels recommended by the various armies had such brilliant results.

"The emperor is blessed with heaven, and God bless the Great Jin." His Royal Highness's ministers immediately clapped their ass.

Sima Yan was even happier in his heart, he laughed for a while, and raised his eyes to see Han Qian, the chief general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, standing in the main hall without saying a word, and without recommending his subordinates, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

What's wrong with this Han Qian, isn't the 50,000 gold and 5,000 denier rice I rewarded enough, Sima Yan frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly thought that when he set out on the expedition, the 30,000 troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army were facing the 60,000 army of Taobao, while the Jingzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army were both 50,000 troops, and the enemy army on the opposite side was only 20,000.

If it weren't for Han Qian leading the Northern Expeditionary Army to drag Peach Leopard, the war would not have been won so quickly, counting it, this Han Qian's credit should be on the uncle Yu Liang and Sikong Xi Jian, but the reward he gave was only half of the two, so it is understandable that Han Qian was unhappy.

At this time, although Sima Yan realized that the reward for Han Qian was less, the holy decree had already been read, and the so-called 'Jun Wu joke' could not go back on his word.

"General Han." Sima Yan shouted to Han Qian, and walked towards Han Qian.

"Your Majesty." Han Qian saw Sima Yan walking in front of him, and hurriedly hugged his fists in greeting.

Sima Yan patted Han Qian's shoulder and praised loudly: "This time to repel Hu Lu, thanks to General Han's courage to kill the enemy and drag the main force of Taobao, I have a good opportunity to concentrate the main force to annihilate the enemy. ”

When Han Qian heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Han Qian, as a general, should swear allegiance to the emperor to the death, and it doesn't matter if there is a reward or not." ”

"Haha! General Han is really high-spirited. Sima Yan praised a sentence, and asked Zhengse: "The general can resist the 60,000 male division of Taobao with an army of 30,000, and there must be many powerful generals under his command. ”

"Your Majesty."

Sima Yan sincerely wanted to reward his subordinates, and Han Qian couldn't refute face, so he selected a few soldiers with the greatest meritorious service and reported to Sima Yan.

"Hua'an, this name, why does it sound so familiar?" When Sima Yan heard about Hua'an's merits, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Han Qian opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Situ Wang Dao, who had been silent, suddenly came out and played: "Your Majesty, ten years ago, in Hualin Garden, the rebel general Ren Rang was not good for the emperor, and at the critical moment, a young man saved the emperor, and he also captured the rebel general Ren Rang, and the emperor didn't remember. ”

When Sima Yan heard this, he patted his head, pointed at Director Wang, and suddenly said: "What Lord Situ said is that I remembered that the young man who saved me ten years ago was called Hua'an. ”

"That's right, that young man's name is Hua An." Director Wang affirmed Sima Yan's judgment.

"Back then, that young Hua'an, who was heroic and extraordinary at a young age, actually captured the rebel generals and let him go, and now he is even more heroic and martial, and he has made so many contributions, reward, I must be rewarded." Sima Yan sighed for a while, paused, looked at Han Qian, and asked urgently, "General Han, what is Hua'an's current position?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Hua'an now lives in the position of captain of the pro-barracks." Han Qian replied with a fist.

"Oh, such a talent, he actually succumbed to the position of captain." Sima Yan was shocked, looked sideways at Director Wang, and asked, "Wang Aiqing, with Hua'an's talent, what position should I be sealed?" ”

Director Wang smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, hugged his fists and said: "Since he is a general, he naturally wants to be named a general." ”
