Han Sui blushed and felt ashamed.

Asking Cai Yan to make a commemorative painting is naturally not hidden from the eyes and ears of the emperor. Han Sui knew this well, but he did not expect that the emperor would hand over the anti-rebellion scroll to him in this way, especially after receiving the news of Xun You's great victory. after the news.

How can his achievements in pacifying Song Jian compare with Xun You's achievements?

The emperor said "good painting" instead of "good fight", and the meaning of ridicule in it is already self-evident.

"My hands are itchy for a while, and I want to write a postscript, Han Qing won't mind?"

Han Sui was taken aback, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, how can I be worthy of this..."

"I can afford it, I can afford it." Liu Xie smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up his pen.Han Sui hurriedly stepped forward to grind ink for the emperor.Although he knew that this scroll would become a joke in the end, he could only endure it.I have to drink the bitter wine I brewed myself with tears in my eyes.

The emperor inscribed the postscript, and he couldn't refuse it even if he wanted to, let alone damage it, so he had to keep it like a family heirloom in the future.

Liu Xie thought for a while, and wrote a few lines of poems on the scroll:

The mountain is high, the road is far away, and the city is small, and the river head is Pinghan.Who can get to the bottom of it, only I, General Han.

Han Sui watched carefully, and his ears felt hot.

"How?" Liu Xie looked at Han Sui crookedly, smiling all over his face.

"Okay, okay." Han Sui smiled uglier than crying, and couldn't say anything except saying yes.

Liu Xie put down his smile, admiring his own calligraphy, and also admiring Han Sui's embarrassment.This is his last reminder to Han Sui, if Han Sui still doesn't give up those unrealistic fantasies, then he can't be blamed.

It has to be said that Xun You fought this battle at the right time.

From then on, Liangzhou was no longer dominant, and the imperial court was no longer alone.

Of course, the situation is more complicated.The rise of the Kanto people is unstoppable, and the group of old ministers have the confidence to speak again, and it is time to make a move.

-

Holding the picture scroll, Han Sui left the imperial camp.He lowered his head all the way, unwilling to meet anyone's gaze.The picture scroll is even more well hidden, and I don't want people to see the slightest clue.

Even so, that small picture scroll still weighed on his heart like a thousand stones.

Especially those few poems inscribed by the emperor.

Back in the big tent of the Chinese army, Han Sui ordered someone to pass it on to Cheng Gongying.He took off his coat, sat by the firepit, put the picture scroll by his hand, and stretched out his hand to warm it. He had an uncontrollable urge to throw the picture scroll, which cost hundreds of gold, into the fire and burn it up.

But he didn't dare.Who knows when the emperor's interest will come, and I want to add a few more words?

Han Sui was very distressed.

After a while, Cheng Gongying came, and was surprised to see Han Sui sitting alone in the tent.When the war is over, all the soldiers want to go home. How to divide the spoils before disbanding is a headache.As Han Sui's confidant, he undertook a lot of complicated affairs. When Han Sui called him here, he thought he was going to discuss some important matter.

"Sit." Han Sui pointed to the opposite seat without raising his head.

Cheng Gongying took off his cloak and the knife belt around his waist, hung it on the Lan Qi beside him, and secretly glanced at Han Sui's face.

"What is the commander's order?"

"Look at this." Han Sui pointed at the scroll.

Cheng Gongying knew about the scroll, so he didn't think much about it. He wiped his hands on his lap, picked up the scroll, and slowly unfolded it.

The picture scroll is very beautiful, under the mountains, the city, the river, the strict military formation, the momentum is grand but orderly.At the beginning, there is the scene where the emperor is Han Suifu, followed by the march, and then the most exciting siege.The battle flag of Zhenxi General Han Sui occupies the central position in the picture scroll, which not only reflects the dignity, but also does not affect Han Sui's identity as the protagonist.

"Okay." Cheng Gongying praised. "As expected of everyone, the layout and brushwork are wonderful."

Han Sui nodded, but did not speak.

There is nothing to say about Cai Yan's painting, it is absolutely worth the one hundred gold.

When Cheng Gongying saw the end, he also found those few lines of inscriptions, and couldn't help frowning slightly. "These few sentences... who wrote them? It doesn't look like Mr. Cai's handwriting."

"Who else?" Han Sui said angrily, with lingering resentment.

After a little thought, Cheng Gongying understood.The number of people who can write inscriptions on Master Cai's paintings and make Han Sui helpless can be counted on one hand. "Emperor?"

Han Sui nodded, straightened his waist, and patted his thigh. "I worked hard, but in the end I was charged with appeasement and adultery. It was really a waste of time."

Cheng Gongying stared at the inscribed poem on the painting for a while, and then said: "General, how do you know that it is not a blessing?"

Han Sui turned his head to look at Cheng Gongying, and chuckled, full of self-deprecation.

Cheng Gongying leaned in front of Han Sui and pointed to the words "original and clear". "General, Song Jian is just a man, Heshou Ping Han King is just a joke, and the emperor may not take it seriously. The real traitor of the Han Dynasty is not Heshou, but Hebei. Isn't it great that the emperor entrusted the task of rectifying the original to the general? Hope?"

Han Sui froze for a moment, with a puzzled look in his eyes. "This sentence...can be interpreted in this way?"

"How to explain, it's all in the general's mind." Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "You see, the emperor is talking about the general, not the general of Zhenxi. If it is someone else, this can naturally be regarded as an omission, but the emperor's golden words are absolutely I won't just say it."

Han Sui was surprised and delighted, and couldn't believe his ears. "So, it is possible that the Son of Heaven entrusts me with the important task of suppressing the rebellion instead of Xun You?"

Cheng Gongying nodded. "Xun You is a native of the Kanto region. He chose Zang Hong, who had the least number of troops, as his deputy instead of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun as his deputy. How could the Son of Heaven not guard against it?"

Han Sui woke up like a dream, and the sorrow between his brows was swept away.He laughed out loud, and with his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps.Thinking that it is really possible to lead an army of [-] to the east in the future to put down Yuan Shao's rebellion, from officials to generals, I am so excited that I can't control it.

Jia Xu had told him about such a prospect before, and now he has received a written promise from the emperor. The opportunity has been firmly placed in front of him. Whether it can come true depends entirely on whether he has the strength himself.

can i do itIn addition to being excited, Han Sui couldn't help but feel uneasy.

There is no way, the emperor has shown him the real way of using troops, and winning the city of Huahan proves the great potential of this way of using troops.As long as it can be generalized, given time, it is not impossible to train the soldiers under his command to be as elite as the Emperor's Forbidden Army Camp.

The only thing that worries him is that he is old and may not have so much time, and his son Han Yin is a middle-aged man, so he may not be able to understand such a way of using troops.Cheng Gongying is a suitable candidate, but he is not his son, not even his son-in-law.

Or he could be adopted as a foster son, but this would inevitably affect Han Yin's status.

Liangzhou is different from Kanto, and pays more attention to strength.Compared with Cheng Gongying, Han Yin's literary talent and martial arts are far behind.Once Cheng Gongying is given the status of adopted son, his subordinates may support a more powerful Cheng Gongying in the future and give up Han Yin.

Han Sui let out a long sigh, and reached out to pat Cheng Gongying on the shoulder. "Young people are awesome. Yuan Wei, it's a pity that I only have one daughter, otherwise..."

Cheng Gongying cupped his hands and said, "Ying regards the lord as his father, so why bother to get married?"

Han Sui nodded in satisfaction. "Yeah, you and I love each other like a father and son, so why bother with those hypocrisy. I'm just sorry. Yuan Wei, Ziyi is vulgar and refuses to study. In the future, you can help him more and teach him like a brother."

Cheng Gongying said quickly: "How dare you, I will treat Ziyi as a brother and repay the general's kindness."

Han Sui stared at Cheng Gongying again and again, a little ashamed.It was Cheng Gongying who beheaded the white horse copper last time, but he alone got the credit, and Cheng Gongying only got some insignificant rewards.

This time, I can't do it again.

"Yuanwei, you are the first to capture Fuhan this time."

Cheng Gongying was taken aback, and quickly said: "No general, there are many soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle, and I am no different from ordinary people. I am so outstanding, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the general. Besides, Ziyi was the one who climbed the city first. Ministry, I..."

Han Sui smiled and waved his hands with confidence. "Don't worry, I have my own food."

Chapter 449

Han Sui wrote a letter to report his meritorious service, with Gongying as the first, Han Yin as the second, and Jiang Jiong as the second.

Liu Xie was quite surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood what Han Sui was thinking.

His own son, Han Yin, was really unable to support the wall, so he had to strengthen the training of Cheng Gongying, hoping to help Han Yin in the future.

Despite this, he still found Han Sui and asked why Han Sui made such a contribution.

It is far from enough for him to understand, and it is necessary for others to understand, and even make people think that he does not understand Han Sui's operation, which is very confusing.

Of course, Han Sui's careful thoughts cannot be clearly stated, but he was prepared and gave an answer that Liu Xie didn't expect.

Han Sui said that the key to the success of this battle is the way of using troops taught by His Majesty.Being able to spread His Majesty's way of using troops to the whole army, Cheng Gongying has the highest contribution.Therefore, although he didn't ascend first, he laid the foundation for breaking the city smoothly, and his future is limitless.

Therefore, he felt that it was necessary to give due rewards to generals who worked so hard, instead of just beheading and ascending first.After all, His Majesty's criteria for evaluating a general include not only beheading, first boarding, but also the casualty rate.

Among the soldiers who participated in the siege, Cheng Gongying's casualty rate was the lowest in the entire army.

Liu Xie accepted Han Sui's explanation knowing that Han Sui's remark was unreasonable.He then asked Han Sui another question: Why is Han Qing not your own name on the list of military achievements?

Han Sui said very modestly that Song Jian called the king a traitor, and it was the minister's responsibility to annihilate him.It was the minister who neglected his duty and didn't take him seriously, which caused the delay till now.Your Majesty Meng gave me a chance to redeem my sins, I am already grateful, how dare I take credit for it.

Liu Xie smiled.It seems that Han Sui not only understood those few lines of poems, but also engraved them in his heart and kept them in his heart.

Liu Xie praised Han Sui a few words, and then signed the word "ke" on Han Sui's credit form.

Han Sui, as the general in charge of the army, kept his official position and title unchanged, and he was given sheep and wine.

Cheng Gongying took the lead, paid homage to General Anxi, Yunwuhou, and [-] households in Shiyi.

For the second time, Han Yin paid homage to General Anton and led his troops to Lantian.

For another meritorious service, Jiang Jiong paid homage to the Qiang school lieutenant and stationed in Jincheng Linqiang.

……

All the generals were under the control of General Zhenxi.

Ordinary soldiers will be rewarded for meritorious service, and all soldiers will be exempted from tax and service for one year, and will be paid for their labor in the New Year's expedition.

As soon as the edict of reward was announced, the whole army rejoiced.

Although Han Yin was not able to become a marquis, he paid homage to General Anton and stationed in Lantian, which can be regarded as the first step for Liangzhou people to move inward to Guanzhong.This step was completed by Han Yin, which has an unusual implication, indicating that the emperor has entered the preparation stage for using troops in the Kanto region.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xie issued an edict to recruit 200 soldiers who were proficient in writing and ink from each army to accompany them.Regardless of the Han and Qiang, the servant Jia Xu will conduct a one-year training.One year later, those who passed the examination were assigned to the generals as teachers, teaching soldiers and assisting the general in commanding operations.

As soon as the news came out, all soldiers who could read a few words flocked to sign up.

They had heard a long time ago that being a teacher in the army was a good job, with a salary of six hundred shi, more than enough to support a family.Furthermore, Jia Xu is the emperor's confidant, known as a think tank, and if he can be his disciple, he will be superior to others wherever he goes in the future.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but anyone with a little ambition will not let it go easily.

Jia Xu undertook the task of assessment and spent two days picking out 20 soldiers.Although it is not stated clearly, the oldest of these soldiers is less than [-], the youngest is [-], and the average age is less than [-] years old. Looking around, they are all young people full of vigor.

More importantly, these people are all proficient in martial arts, and they are not the kind of scholars who are powerless.

Liu Xie was very satisfied after reading the list and looking at these young people who behaved a bit rudely but did not lose their simplicity.

"The future of Liangzhou is in the hands of the kings, and the future of the great man is also in the hands of the kings." Liu Xie said sincerely: "I hope that the kings will study hard, work together with me, cultivate themselves, regulate the family, govern the country and the world."

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty, and I am willing to be loyal to the great man." 200 people bowed and saluted, shouting in unison.

Jia Xu's eyes were a little moist, and he quietly lowered his head.

-

Hedong, Sushui.

When the ferry docked, Situ Zhao Wen and Sikong Zhang Xi disembarked side by side.

Hedong Yin Xunyu went up to greet him, bowed his hands and saluted, smiling all over his face. "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang, you've worked hard all the way. It's been so many years since I didn't hear the sound of Deyin. I miss you so much."

Zhang Xi pouted. "Wen Ruo, you are so sweet and benevolent. Do you really miss us? You wish we would never go back to Hedong."

"How dare, how dare." Xun Yu hastily pleaded guilty.

Zhao Wen waved his hand. "Wen Ruo, don't pay attention to him, I've eaten too much meat these days, and I'm a little tired of talking." He took Xun Yu's arm and patted Xun Yu's hand affectionately. "Worthy of Wang Zuozhi's talent. In just one year's work, he has managed the river river in an orderly manner. During this journey, no matter whether it is an official or a commoner, they are all full of praise when they mention you. In another ten years, the king's way will be revealed."

Xun Yu was very embarrassed, and quickly said: "Mr. Zhao's words are serious. How can the villain's words be taken seriously. If the weather is good, the food and clothing are safe, they will be satisfied and full of praise. If the harvest is not good this year, affecting their livelihood, They're going to yell again."

Zhao Wen stroked his beard and nodded slightly. "It's rare to have a dignified writing. Unlike some people, they can't wait to boast when they see people."

Zhang Xi was not annoyed either, he laughed out loud.

After talking for a while, the servants prepared the carriage, Xun Yu sent Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi to the carriage, and was about to return to his own carriage, when Zhang Xi waved his hand to signal Xun Yu to get on the carriage.Xun Yu declined, Zhang Xi reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and dragged him into the car.

"Close the door, let's go." Zhang Xi shouted.

The carriage started, Xun Yu had no choice but to order Xun Yun to drive the carriage and follow behind.After Xun Yun left, the smile on Zhang Xi's face disappeared, and he put his hands in his sleeves and sighed.

"What do you think about Liangzhou?"

"What is Mr. Zhang talking about?" Xun Yu said unhurriedly.

Zhang Xi stared at Xun Yu. "Wen Ruo, you also treat me as an old fool, guessing riddles with me?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly. "Mr. Zhang's words are serious. There are so many things in Liangzhou. I really don't know which one Mr. Zhang is talking about."

"Jia Xu is recruiting two hundred students."

"What's wrong with this?"

"Isn't the emperor being too partial in doing this? Why recruit teachers in Liangzhou? How many scholars can there be in Liangzhou? Besides, how can Jia Xu's knowledge teach people? Isn't this a mistake? His majesty still It is so solemn to say that the future of a big man is in the hands of the lords, what is studying hard, cultivating one's morality and family, governing the country and the world. A group of Xiliang reckless people can also rule the country and the world?"

Zhang Xi's voice became louder and louder, and finally he was almost shouting angrily, and his fair skin was also flushed.

Xun Yu hurriedly motioned him to stop, not to get too excited. "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid you have misunderstood."

"I misunderstood?" Zhang Xi took a few breaths and managed to calm down. "Wen Ruo, don't think that your daughter has become an honored person, so she just pretends to be a foreign relative and protects the emperor wholeheartedly. The emperor is young, and although he has the ambition to rejuvenate, he still needs your support and I can't let him mess around."
