Han Mo had already knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Return to the emperor, what the minister did is all his duty. I am satisfied with the honor of the holy ones and dare not take credit!"

The court officials immediately looked contemptuous, only to think that Han Mo was really good at acting, but more of them praised, and not to praise Han Mo for not making contributions or being arrogant. He just felt that this young family of aristocratic families was indeed extraordinary. He was neither humble nor arrogant in this court, and he was able to deal with it freely. It seemed that the fifth young master of the Han family was born to be accustomed to the court.

The emperor stroked his beard and said lightly: "If you have merits, you should be punished; if you have sins, you will not be able to achieve a square or a circle without rules. I am a great Yan, and my ministers have made great contributions, but they have not rewarded them. If you spread them, you will make a joke to other countries." He stared at Han Mo and said: "Han Mo, what reward do you want? Even if you say that, as long as I can take action, I will never refuse!"

When the ministers heard the emperor's generous words, they were so stupid that the emperor really valued Han Mo and allowed Han Mo to ask for rewards. However, most people felt that the emperor's words were really strange.

When the emperor asked this, Han Mo could not just say that he wanted the position of the commander of the Leopard Camp!

Is the emperor still hesitating... Is he still hesitating whether he wants to hand over the position of commander of the Leopard Camp to Han Mo? Is this sentence a strategy of retreating to advance?

It seems generous, but it actually leaves a great reservation.

The court seemed very quiet for a moment. Although the ministers were like clouds, once there was no sound in the huge Taiping Hall, it seemed very empty-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ministers had their own thoughts, while the emperor looked quietly at Han Mo who was kneeling in the court. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but his expression still looked extremely calm.

"The gifts from the Lord are all supreme grace!" Han Mo did not look up, his voice full of respect: "I wish to receive any reward from the Lord!"

Han Xuanchang, the Minister of Rites who had been watching Han Mo, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Han Mo's answer satisfied him, which was the most correct answer he wanted to hear the most.

The Han family cannot directly ask for rewards in the court, but this time, the Han family cannot lose anything.

The emperor pondered and finally said, "Gen. E unfortunately passed away... Now the position of commander of the Leopard Turf Camp is vacant. I really need to find a talented general to command the Leopard Turf Camp..." He spoke very slowly, but his voice was very low. The ministers heard it and looked different. He had already guessed that this time the emperor was afraid that he would really hand over the position of commander of the Leopard Turf Camp to Han Mo.

"Han Mo!" The emperor suddenly raised his voice and looked at Han Mo majestic.

"I'm here!" Han Mo replied loudly.

"Tell me my will!" The emperor's voice was majestic and low: "Let Han Mo be the commander of the Leopard Camp, and be loyal to the country, and don't let my high hopes down!"

Han Mo said loudly: "I thank the priest for the kindness of the priest, and I will definitely serve the country with all my loyalty, live up to the priest's great hope, and I will not dare to let down the priest's kindness of the priest!"

Master Xiao's expression was always calm. Even the moment before the emperor enthroned him, he still looked calm. However, when the emperor really sealed the position of commander of the Leopard Camp to Han Mo, the muscles on the old man's face suddenly twitched slightly and closed his eyes.

Su Guanya also squinted his eyes, and a rare cold light flashed through his eyes.

The Imperial Guard was the Royal Guard. The emperor's enthronement was always issued by the emperor, and even the cabinet could not intervene. Therefore, after the emperor's decree, Han Mo officially became the commander of the Imperial Guard's Leopard Camp.

Some are happy and some are worried.

...

"Han Mo, let's calm down!" After the emperor said the decree, he was silent for a moment before wavering to Han Mo to get up. Han Mo thanked him for his gratitude and retreated to the court. No matter what, the officials in front and behind would bow politely to express their congratulations.

Han Mo looked calm and bowed back.

Although he had a premonition in his heart that he might be in the position of commander, Han Mo was still quite excited when the order came true. He also knew very well that he might be the youngest commander since the founding of Yan State.

It is not because of my great achievements in war, but because of the changes in the court that prompted me to take this position. After all, it is the emperor who sharpened his knife to sharpen it so that it can be used to deal with other people.

As Han Xuanchang said that night, now he is the director of the Xihua Hall and the commander of the Leopard Camp. He can be regarded as having a strong power, but he must not forget that if he cannot firmly grasp his two institutions, then as long as the man on the Dragon Seat says, all of his own will become a cloud.

Han Mo's current mood was not excited about the enviable official position he had obtained. At this time, he had already begun to think about how to hold these two institutions firmly in his hands. He did not hope that one day he would fall heavily from the clouds because of the man's words.

Everything... is still a long way to go!

He didn't seem to want to talk too much about the commander of the Leopard Camp, but the emperor turned his attention to Fan Yunao and asked: "Fan Aiqing, I heard that Qing and Wei are going to bite each other?"

This is an easy topic for Yan State.

For a moment, many ministers with solemn expressions also calmed down a little.

Fan Yunao is the Minister of War and the border military newspaper, so he is naturally very clear, so he immediately stepped out and replied: "The Emperor Qi Zuo, Wei State gathered tens of thousands of troops in the Xincheng City of Suiding County, and the Wei State's military and horse commander Sima Qingtian has also arrived at the Xincheng City. Now he has gathered 50,000 troops and is about to go to Tingshui Pass at any time!"

Tingshui Pass is the first barrier to the easternmost part of Suiding County, and is under the control of the State of Wei. After leaving Tingshui Pass, you have to face Nanyang Pass in Nanyang County, which is also the first barrier to Nanyang County.

"What are the actions of Qing State?" the emperor asked.

Fan Yunao replied: "Twenty thousand defenders in Wancheng, Nanyang County, Qingguo have already gone to Nanyang Pass and deployed defenses in the area of ​​Nanyang Pass. Moreover, other troops and horses are also gathering in Nanyang Pass. Now the person in Nanyang Pass is Tiger Pili Lin Chengfei, one of the "Three Beast Generals" under Shang Zhongli!"

"Three Beast Generals?" The emperor smiled coldly: "Tiger Thunderbolt Lin Chengfei, Wolf Tornado Yuan Mu, Eagle Frugal Wang Yanping... Shang Zhongli's men are like clouds!"

Someone immediately stepped out and said, "In the eyes of General Xiao, those generals are just clowns. Fortunately, they are going to deal with the people of Wei. If they fight against me, General Xiao, General Xiao will definitely be able to destroy them in an instant!"

When they were behind, the ministers laughed.

But everyone knows that Xiao Huaiyu's magical martial arts is true, but it is too exaggerated to say that the three beast generals under Shang Zhongli are just clowns. Although the three beast generals cannot match the famous generals in the ten directions, they are also the most amazing brave generals in the younger generation of Qing Kingdom.

However, anyone from Yan State, whether it is an enemy or a friend of the Xiao family, is in awe of Xiao Huaiyu from the bottom of his heart.

That is the myth of Yan State!

Because of that man, the borders of Yan State have always been as stable as Mount Tai. Even though Qing State has strong national strength and possessed peerless generals like Shang Zhongli, they still dare not step into the territory of Yan State.

That man, who has been in the northwest for ten years, defended the military dignity of Yan State and defended the territory and people of Yan State from being violated by anyone.

He is like the rising sun above Yan State, dazzling!

Even the gloomy Master Xiao finally smiled faintly when he heard Xiao Huaiyu's name and the son who made him proud.

The Xiao family can have the glory of today and be ranked first among major families because of Xiao Huaiyu's existence.

The emperor also smiled.

But his heart was extremely complicated. There was no doubt that Yan State needed Xiao Huaiyu, and he also needed Xiao Huaiyu. The people of Yan State could not imagine what kind of scene would be like if Xiao Huaiyu had not existed.

In this era of cold weapons, personal heroism was highly praised, and the facts were indeed the case. The situation in a country can often be changed because of one person or a few people.

The emperor needed Xiao Huaiyu to protect the border for him, but... because of Xiao Huaiyu's existence, the thorn in the eyes of the Xiao family made the emperor not know how to remove it.

He hoped to see the Xiao family's forces disappear from the territory of Yan State little by little, but he could not lose Xiao Huaiyu. This contradiction always made the emperor upset.

Suiyi asked quickly: "Shang Zhongli...hasn't he arrived in Nanyang County?"

"The whereabouts of Shang Zhongli were not found by the border military newspaper." Fan Yunao replied: "Maybe they had already arrived in Nanyang County secretly, but their whereabouts were hidden and we did not find them... However, yesterday the Ministry of War received a piece of information. It is said that the Qing State seemed to be sending an envoy to our Yan State..."

The ministers suddenly showed a happy expression on their faces.

There is no doubt that the people of Qing came to please Yan. Of course, they were afraid that when they were fighting with Wei, the people of Yan stabbed them hard from behind.

Many years ago, the people of Qing came to Yan State with a large gift and reached an agreement with Yan State, which was to resist the powerful attack of the Wei State.

In that battle, Qing State suffered heavy losses. In the early stages of the war, it was captured by the Wei people, down the three counties of Shanbei, Wudu and Wuguan, and even lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and the whole country was panicked.

Fortunately, they reached an agreement with Yan State in advance, and at that time, Yan State was also in the period of domestic innovation. The late emperor was taking various measures to reduce the power of the aristocratic families, and the domestic situation was extremely unstable. Otherwise, if the army was heading north and attacking the Qing State with Wei State, even if the Qing State did not perish, its territory would not be so vast today.

The two sides fought for two years in that battle. Fortunately, the state-owned Shang Zhongli of Qing, and the state-owned country had a vast territory and strong national strength. They got a breath and lasted until the counterattack. They recovered the two counties of Wuguan and Wudu, and even smashed the 100,000 troops of Wei, leaving only 20,000 retreating.

Although the Wei State finally saved the fruit of Shanbei County with its brave soldiers, its national strength dropped sharply and it was powerless to fight back. There was chaos in Qing's internal affairs and there was no intention to fight again. Since then, both sides have cultivated themselves and rested. More than ten years have passed. The nobles of Qing State were immersed in singing and dancing and became more involved in internal power consumption, and had no energy to attack Wei State. However, the people of Wei State lie on firewood and taste gall, and have been poor for more than ten years, and finally accumulated combat power. Now they are going to launch the same war of aggression that year.

This time, Qing State sent a mission to sign a new agreement. What the people of Yan are looking forward to is the large number of gifts they brought - that is not a small amount, it is a wealth that no one can refuse!
