Chapter 6 King and Minister
Seeing that the 50,000 carefully selected troops from the Western Expedition Army were waiting outside the camp, Di Yi on the high platform stood up and left the imperial throne, walked to the edge of the high platform with dragon and tiger steps, and all the civil and military officials on both sides stood up and stood behind Di Yi in two rows.
At this moment, Wen Zhong had already taken away the pair of male and female whips that had beaten the world. He held a yellow silk scroll in his hand and went forward. He opened it and read aloud: "Your Majesty has an order. General Zhang Kui, Gao Lanying and his subordinates were out of the line!"
His voice was thick and soft, and it instantly spread throughout the schoolyard, and it also spread far away to the 50,000 troops arranged a little further away, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"I will follow the order!" Two clear and high-pitched voices of a man and a woman answered at the same time.
Everyone looked in the sound and saw a thousand light armored cavalry rushing out of the square formation outside the school ground, all wearing light armor inlaid with iron pieces, equipped with double battle swords and bows and arrows. The first one was an unusually marveled black war horse, with a single horn more than a foot long growing in the middle of the horse's head, which was obviously not an ordinary species. A young general was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall figure, a heroic appearance, wearing bronze chain armor, holding a cold autumn flame knife in his hand. Later, a peach blossom horse was sitting on the horse, but a female general with pretty faces, a pretty face, eyes and eyes, wearing a set of silver-light gourds, hanging a pair of sun and moon frost swords with deer tendons on his back, and a huge red paint gourd was on his back.
"Zhang Kui, Gao Lanying..." When he heard these two names, Yang Jie's face showed a slightly surprised look. If his memory in his previous life was good, the couple was a real pair of ruthless people, and it turned out that they had already made their mark at this time.
This team of light cavalry ran like the wind, and ran around the school military field for a while, and finally stood in a formation below the high platform.
Wen Zhong continued to whisper aloud according to the scroll in his hand: "This time, Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying led their troops to attack the ghost side, repeatedly attacking and attacking, killing and capturing more than 10,000 enemy troops. The two generals also came to the battle to kill a total of 19 thieves."
"How brave!" Di Yi first exclaimed, then looked down at the two generals and asked, "What's the relationship between you two?"
After hearing this question, Gao Lanying felt dizzy and Zhang Kui blushed a little, but His Majesty did not dare not answer any questions, so he had to bow his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the two of them were originally brothers and sisters of the same school, and later made a date for old age, but they did not get married because the war had not finished."
Di Yi applauded and said, "Since that's the case, I will add another grace to your gift, and give you another mansion in Chaoge, and choose an auspicious day to let you two get married."
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying were both ashamed and happy, and turned over and dismounted together, thanking Di Yi for his grace.
Yang Jie saw this scene in his eyes, and secretly praised Emperor Yi as the king in his heart for his superiors. This grace is nothing but a favor for him, a rich king of a country, and great glory for Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying, two young people who are not well-informed in the world. Maybe this couple's loyalty in the future that will be rooted in this.
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying had finished giving thanks, and they re-mounted the horse and led a thousand light cavalry behind them to retreat and settled in the military field of the school.
Wen Zhong shouted again: "Your Majesty has an order, and the General Deng Jiugong of the Later Army and his subordinates' 'Sanshan' will be out of the list!"
"The last general!" Another person replied, his voice as loud as a bell.
Neat and uniform, the sound of extremely heavy footsteps came from outside the school ground. A team of heavy armored infantry, about 3,000, slowly entered the field. They were all nearly 3000 tall, wearing black thick iron armor, covered with a hideous bronze ghost face, holding two long spears in the right hand, and holding half of the high-iron shield in the left hand, and walking in a coordinated manner. On the only red war horse in front of this heavy armored infantry, he rode the commander Deng Jiugong. He was about thirty years old, with a face as purple jade, three strands of ink beard hanging down his chest, wearing a full pair of iron armor, and carrying a large sword on the door. The ground was majestic and murderous.
Deng Jiugong led this team of heavy armored infantry around the field for a while and stood under the high platform. All the three thousand armored soldiers remained motionless, just like a group of statues cast by copper and iron.
Wen Zhong read according to the scroll record: "The General Deng Jiugong of the Later Army led his headquarters to protect the rear army's baggage and defeated the invading enemies for a total of 17 times. This time, the 600,000 troops had no shortage of food, grass and weapons, which was a great contribution of Deng Jiugong."
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, which is why this is what it means!" Emperor Yi praised again, then waved to the side, asking Feng Yu, who was holding the imperial bow and arrow, to bring a golden arrow specially used by the emperor, and threw it to Deng Jiugong below the stage.
Deng Jiugong was overjoyed. After catching the golden arrow, he turned over and dismounted, and raised the golden arrow high above his head to Emperor Yi to thank him.
When Deng Jiugong led his subordinates to retreat to the field, Wen Zhong continued to summon the other generals and their troops to enter the field for inspection by Emperor Yi.
After listening to Wen Zhong's merits, Di Yi always commented in a word and a half, every word and sentence was just right, but the golden arrow was not easily given. Only seven people even Deng Jiugong received this reward.
Seeing that the huge square outside the field was getting smaller and smaller, while the square inside the field was getting bigger and bigger, but I never heard the name of my father. Yang Shao, Yang Xun and Yang Yan were all anxious, and they all stretched their necks and kept looking out of the field, but they were too far apart and couldn't see clearly.
Yang Jie sat down as if he was as peaceful as a mountain. He knew that his father was the most trusted and trusted general under Wen Zhong's command, and should be the finale.
He had just comforted his younger brother and sister and asked them to wait patiently, but Wen Zhong on the stage shouted again: "Your Majesty has an order, Xibo Hou Jichang and his subordinates' "Boy of Wind-Chasing Bow" will come out!"
Hearing the name of "Ji Chang of Xibo", Yang Jie was shocked again and quickly turned his head to look outside the school field. He saw a veteran wearing soft armor on a green-maned horse riding into the field. This man was about fifty years old, with gray hair and big ears, and gentle eyes, which made people feel close to him. Behind him were about three thousand cavalrymen wearing soft armor and holding short bows followed closely, following the previous one, and then stood under the platform after a week.
Wen Zhong continued to read the content recorded on the scroll: "Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, not only tried his best to supply 600,000 grain and fodder for the king's army, but also led his troops to go out with the army to fight, witnessed dozens of battles of all sizes and big and small, and won more than 10,000 enemy troops. Ji Chang even personally fired arrows in front of the formation and killed Marshal Guifang, which was extremely rewarding."
Emperor Yi looked very happy and nodded constantly and said, "The name of the marquis of Xibo is not only the monarchs of the West have been heard and admired by the monarchs of the 200 Western towns for a long time, but I have also heard of them. Now, seeing that the marquis of Xian is so loyal and well-behaved, it is true that they are famous. Take the bow!"
Feng Yu, who was standing beside him, quickly abandoned the remaining three golden arrows and presented the only dragon treasure-carved bow with gold inlaid treasure.
Emperor Yi grabbed the treasure bow, raised his hand and threw it towards the audience, and shouted in his mouth: "I will give this bow to the Virtuous Marquis today. I only hope that the Virtuous Marquis will hold it for me to guard the West and do not cause chaos!"
Ji Chang hurriedly took the bow in his hand, dismounted his horse and kowtowed, "Your Majesty treats his subordinates with a confidant, how dare he not repay him if he is broken?"
Di Yi laughed loudly and waved his hand to order Ji Chang to retreat into the venue.
Most people in the field were envious of the scene of the king and his subjects getting along, but Yang Jie showed a thoughtful look, and he felt that the relationship between the king and his subjects was not as harmonious as he saw. Among them, the four words "Don't let the trouble" that Emperor Yi said are particularly remarkable and memorable.
