The next morning, Wang Zhengjian, the commander of this battle, woke up, and his dizziness finally improved and he was able to take charge of the director. He first asked how the battle between the left and right yesterday was fighting. He heard that he defeated the Geluo people and wiped out almost 20,000 enemies, and was very excited. Although the left and right advised him not to be excited, he was still so happy that he couldn't do it himself and shouted repeatedly: "I, Wang Zhengjian, are also a famous general! I, Wang Zhengjian, are also a famous general!" He stopped until he shouted until he was dizzy.

"All the generals are called. I want to commend them in person, and I will immediately write a memorial to report to the capital!" Wang Zhengjian said again. He seemed to be unable to wait even to return to Kucha Town.

But the left and right did not dissuade him again, but followed the order to pass on the generals. Soon, the generals came to this tent and waited for his orders.

Wang Zhengjian looked at it and was about to speak, but he glanced at Liu Qi, reached out to summon him over and said with a smile: "Liu's other general."

"Please give orders to the governor." Liu Qi stepped forward and bowed.

"You are the first to win this battle. Yesterday I promised to express your gratitude to the court for the good deeds of Zhechong Mansion, so I will never forget it. I will then order someone to write a memorial to express your merits and list you first." Wang Zhengjian said.

"Jingdu, Ji is ashamed of taking responsibility." Liu Qi knelt down and said, "And this strategy was not thought of by his subordinates. He did not hide it from the Jiedu. According to the "Zuo Zhuan", during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin and Chu fought a similar battle. Jin and Chu armies encountered Yanling. The Chu army surrounded the Jin army camp while the heavy fog, making it impossible for the Jin army to come out of the camp to form a formation. One of the Jin army advised Duke Li of Jin to fill the pan and fill the pan into the camp and ordered the soldiers to line up on the spot, thus defeating the Chu army. In fact, the battle in Yanling lasted for a long time, but it had nothing to do with this strategy.

"Qi happened to be reading the Five Classics in Luzhou before, and read this paragraph, so he only recalled the Battle of Yanling after seeing that situation yesterday and offered this plan."

"Haha," Wang Zhengjian laughed and said, "Even if this strategy was not something you thought of, you will be the first to do."

"At that time, no one in the entire tent came up with a plan to fight the enemy. It seemed that they could only watch the Gelulu people build a village wall and surrounded our army with a village wall. If the village wall is built, even if other people who have read Zuo Zhuan proposed this plan, how could they defeat Gelulu?"

In fact, after Wang Zhengjian woke up this morning, his aides had already talked to him about the Battle of Yanling recorded in "Zuo Zhuan". The other generals, such as Li Siye, also heard from the aides last night; but they still believed that Liu Qi had made great contributions.

You know, at that time, not only Liu Qi knew that the camp was surrounded by Geluo people, but their aides also knew, but none of them went straight to the central army tent to offer their plans. Although the aides had various reasons, no matter how the plan was, Liu Qi said, not what they said. Or, the reason why they listed Liu Qi as their first contribution was not only because of the strategy of breaking the enemy, but also because of his courage!

But Liu Qi still repeatedly refused. He really didn't want to be listed as the top scholar, rather than pretending to be hypocritical. He was worried about being jealous. But Wang Zhengjian insisted on his own opinion, and Liu Qi could only accept it in the end.

"But in the future," when Liu Qi returned to his kneeling place, Wang Zhengjian did not immediately call the next meritorious general to come forward, but smiled and said: "It seems that even as a military general, you cannot underestimate Confucian classics. There are even examples of pre-Qin wars. When you return to Kucha Town, you will all read the Five Classics, especially the "Zuo Zhuan"!"

The generals in the account were complaining. Some of them didn't even know the words, and they had to write memorials on their behalf. The family letters were read by the staff. How could they read them? So how could they read them? Even those who read only military books; they had read the Five Classics Justice, who was an official in the Central Plains, but no one had read the original books of the Five Classics. However, everyone knew that Wang Zhengjian was just talking casually. After he went back, he had no time to supervise whether they were studying. After complaining, they kept silent.

After that, Wang Zhengjian continued to judge the contributions of the generals. He was not biased at all, and the evaluation was very fair, and the generals were convinced. Although there was a small dispute, it quickly subsided.

After a morning of assessment, the credit was finally assessed at noon. The generals dispersed for lunch break.

In the afternoon, Wang Zhengjian inspected some barracks accompanied by the generals and rewarded several soldiers who killed the most Gelulu people in public. That night, he ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward the three armies, and all night long.

The Tang army set up camp on the second day and returned to the Anxi Dadu Protectorate. The soldiers of Suiye Town naturally bid farewell to the foreign soldiers immediately. After a few days of walking, the soldiers and generals of the northern governor's office such as Luzhou and other places also separated from the army.

Liu Qi stayed in the army. The Zhechong Mansion Guoyi was not an official position that Luzhou could tolerate, and he could only command the generals in the Protectorate's Mansion. However, Liu Qi still went to send his old friend. The governor Zhu Gen seemed to have something to say to him, but in the end he didn't say much, just said the word "careful", and didn't know what it meant.

But soon, Liu Qi knew what these two words mean. Because after just over ten days, the army had just crossed the Tianshan Mountains and arrived at the Yingsow Governor's Office, the commander of the Battle of Jieshan, the deputy archer of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, and the governor of the Anxi Jiedushi Wang Zhengjian actually died of illness in the military camp!

When the news of Wang Zheng's death came out, the army was immediately unstable. Fortunately, this place was already the core of the Anxi Protectorate, and there were no barbarians nearby. The two generals Li Siye and Bi Sichen were also experienced and quickly settled the morale of the army and successfully brought the army back to Kucha Town.

But this was a huge bad thing for Liu Qi! He was listed as the first merit because he offered advice and was appreciated by Wang Zhengjian, and was recommended as Guo Yi of Zhechong Mansion. But when Wang Zhengjian died, first of all, the changes in Anxi official position caused by his death were the most important. No one of the high-ranking officials cared about the Battle of Jieshan anymore. Anyway, the rewards had been given, and the recommended official position in the court would be criticized, and if they were not criticized, they would be defeated;

Secondly, he lost a Shangguan who appreciated him again and would at least treat him fairly. With his sudden rise to power, not only did he not have a backer, but he was not even qualified, he would probably be excluded in the Protectorate's Mansion.

Later, it also reflected what he thought. Liu Qi could certainly go to worship at Wang Zhengjian's funeral, but after the worship, he could not find someone to speak in the yard. Even if others talked to him, they would just say hello a few words. Of course, this is understandable, after all, he is not familiar with anyone; the most important thing now is who the governor will fall on, so of course everyone should ask for an acquaintance or well-informed person, not Liu Qi. But for Liu Qi, this is a clear proof of being excluded.

‘If the court of Zhechong Prefecture is approved, then it will be stopped. If it is not allowed, please resign and return to Yuluzhou as a general. Whether it is governor Zhu or Zhang Biejia, the qualifications are far better than me, and the official position is great, so I will not be able to tolerate me.’ Liu Qi thought.

But on this day, the court had not returned yet. Liu Qi was about to go to the royal palace early in the morning when suddenly someone stopped him and said to him: "Don't you control Liu Qi?"
