"I'm afraid it's unlikely, right? Bei Zhonglang is going to conquer the south and pacify the rebels. Now he has captured Jiangning Mansion and will soon clear out the three states of Tongping and Ruzhou. He is busy with official duties. How can he have time to take care of this kind of thing?"
Cao Su is very self-aware, although he is now awarded the title of General Zhaowu of the fifth rank.
He was also granted the title of Captain of the Forbidden Army and the Hundred Households of the Guard Division, but in the eyes of Bei Zhonglang General Yuan Zong or Right General Qin Hu, he was still just a rising star, not worthy of special treatment.
"If it wasn't General Beizhong Lang, then who would be the person who arranged for you to join the Arch Guard Department?"
Wei Kai also tended to have someone else, and the two of them always felt that this matter was not simple.
Where is the Arch Guards Department?
Royal authority granted the authority to defend the divine capital.
The Imperial Guard Department is a military organization directly under the emperor in Shendu. Its main functions are to directly control the bodyguards, conduct inspections and arrests, and also participate in investigation of cases, intelligence collection, arrests and interrogations, etc.
The power of the Archguard Division is not small, and it is a well-known "Eagle Dog" organization in the Divine Capital.
Looking at the entire world, it is also a first-class powerful department.
"The question is who it is. After we go to the Divine Capital, we will explore slowly. If there is someone else, then there will definitely be something to ask for in the future. Cao Su only needs to wait quietly in the Guards Department."
Wang Meng mentioned the idea of "waiting for the rabbit", which coincided with Cao Su.
Cao Su didn't panic at all. No matter who asked him to go to the Guards Division, since it had already fallen on him, he should do it first. As time goes by, results will naturally come.
"The gods are not as good as Jiangzhou, and the waters of the gods are deep. When you go to the gods in the future, you need to be careful and don't be careless."
Wei Kai frowned slightly, not as free and easy as Wang Meng.
Wang Meng laughed and took a wine bowl to honor Wei Kai.
Wei Kai picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly with him.
Cao Su also laughed: "The City of Gods is the capital of a country and the largest city in the world. It is normal for the water to be deeper."
"If the water is not deep enough, how can it provide food, drink, and urination for millions of residents?"
The pun made Wei Kai couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
After a while, Wei Kai frowned again and said: "The placement of the Forbidden Army is a major event. The imperial court has 200,000 Forbidden Army stationed in the divine capital. This expansion of the Forbidden Army will further strengthen the strength of the Forbidden Army. This seems to be releasing a new kind of force.
signal of."
Wei Kai meant that the imperial court should further strengthen the military strength to defend the center.
This seems to be based on the new changes that occurred after the Wanping Sect raided the divine capital that day.
Cao Su can completely understand this approach of concentrating military power and intimidating all parties.
The emperor was still afraid after all. An uprising that lasted for two years almost drained the last breath of the decadent dynasty.
Nowadays, the world seems to be about to be at peace, but it is like an undercurrent hiding on the surface of a calm lake. Only those in power can really see the true situation.
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "The Forbidden Army has expanded by tens of thousands, and the number of troops in the Divine Capital has reached its peak. No matter where there is a rebellion in the future, as soon as the Forbidden Army comes out, you can choose a famous commander to suppress it quickly."
"It's just that the territory of the Qianyuan Dynasty was too vast. Sometimes, it wasn't that the court was unable to suppress it, but that the mountains were high and the water was far away, and it was beyond the reach of the whip."
Wei Kai nodded.
Cao Su's view is that of a normal soldier.
He also reminded Cao Su that after entering the divine capital, he should remember to take the initiative to visit General Shangyou's mansion.
"The army is the army, and the court is the court. This is a necessary rule."
"Autumn is coming soon. After you come to the Right General's Mansion to pay homage, Right General Qin Hu will give you a letter of recommendation. Then you can take the letter and go to the Imperial College to register and try to study in the Imperial College by the end of the year."
Cao Su naturally remembered the matter of being an auditor of the Imperial College specially arranged for him by Wei Kai.
Thinking about it this way, there are really a lot of things going on in Shendu.
He smiled and picked up the wine bowl to honor Wei Kai and express his gratitude.
"Thank you Master Wei."
"You and I are from the same hometown, so there's no need to be polite."
Wei Kai spoke simply, but Wang Meng was even more direct: "Cao Su, we are both from Jiangzhou. If we go to Shendu, we will all be outsiders. We must support each other, otherwise it will be difficult to be successful."
Such a simple fellow countryman's thinking, Cao Su seemed to be gradually able to understand the power of the early rural party...
.......
.......
Qin Hu's army celebrated at Shenguan.
After accepting the reward from the imperial court, the army disbanded on the spot.
On the second day, Qin Hu led the remaining troops, left Shenguan, and continued westward.
It's still a hundred miles away from Shenguan to the west.
According to the army's pace of marching twenty or thirty miles a day, it would take three or four days to walk a hundred miles.
After exiting Shenguan, you can clearly feel that the road becomes wider.
Even the official road is built with majestic atmosphere, which can accommodate more than ten tall horses galloping at the same time.
You can also see a large number of merchants, residents, knights and knights walking around on the road. The crowds gather together and there is a lot of smell of fireworks.
Unlike Yuzhou and other places where wars were frequent, Shendu suffered almost no wars. On that day, the Wanping Sect went crazy and launched a wave of sneak attacks. Most of the rest of the time, the place was very stable.
And this period of stability lasted for more than a hundred years.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and this place is so prosperous that it makes people forget to leave.
When the merchants on the official road saw the approaching army, they all gave way.
"It's the right general Qin Hu who has returned victoriously!"
"The Wanping army has been wiped out? Is the world at peace?"
"These people have a lot of evil spirits. Get away quickly and don't get close!"
Tens of thousands of brave warriors who fought in the south and north appeared, gathering the majestic power of blood and evil spirit.
All the ordinary people on the official road looked at him sideways.
There are just some knights and knights who still don't know how to give in, and even make comments from afar.
These knights and knights do not care about so much order of hierarchy. No matter how powerful the government is, it is still the martial arts that controls them. The power of the sect is more noteworthy than the power of the government. As long as you do not break the law, according to the principle, the court will not care about you.
Of course, how many things in the arena are legal?
After all, they still don't have a clear understanding of themselves.
When you really want to touch them, you don't care whether they made mistakes or not.
Cao Su rode on his war horse and drove slowly along the official road with the army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He closed his eyes to rest and adjust his state.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
A horseman from the rear army rushed to Cao Su's place and stopped.
"What's the matter?"
Cao Su opened his eyes and found a young messenger soldier.
"Cao Zhaowu, Minister of War Yang Jian invites you."
Minister of War?
Cao Su frowned. Why did the Minister of War want him?
The Minister of War is an official subordinate to the Minister. Among all ministries, his status is second to that of the Minister. He is a high-ranking official of the third rank.
As the entire army moved forward, in addition to the original army, there were also the imperial envoys who made a special trip to Shengguan to greet the army, including many officials from the six ministries.
Cao Su actually didn't want to deal with officials like them.
Now Cao Su was surprised by the sudden invitation from the assistant minister.
He glanced at the messenger and said solemnly: "Lead the way."
.........
A few days later, the army arrived outside the city of Divine Capital.
I saw a huge city standing on the vast plain, and the Luoshui River rushed past the north of Shendu.
Tiandang Mountain in the distance stands tall and majestic, with steaming clouds and mist, as vast as smoke.
The tall city wall of more than ten feet looks like a crouching dragon lying across the wilderness. There are viewing platforms and horse paths for climbing the city.
Looking down at the entire Divine Capital City, hundreds of thousands of houses are piled up one behind the other, with different heights.
There are pavilions and pavilions with cornices and raised corners.
The divine bird flew through the sky and made a crisp "crow" sound.
Thousands of rays of light illuminate the entire city.
The Imperial City is directly south of the Divine Capital City, close to the Divine Capital City.
Buildings are rising one after another, people are coming and going, millions of people are crawling to make a living, and the red dust is like smoke.
Because he accepted the reward at Shenguan, the imperial court no longer granted rewards to the army.
Only Qin Hu, the commander-in-chief of the army, was rewarded alone.
The emperor did not leave the palace, but at dawn the next day, Qin Hu put on a unicorn official robe, a silver sword, and a jade stone, and stepped into the main hall of the imperial city of the divine capital.
At the same time, Cao Su had already reported to the Forbidden Army.
In accordance with the request of Huangmen Shilang, the handover procedures were completed with the generals of the Forbidden Army, and the three thousand elite soldiers under his command were integrated into the new Forbidden Army.
The new army camp of the Forbidden Army is located in the northwest corner of Shendu City.
The entire city of God's Capital is very huge. Three thousand newly arrived elite soldiers were placed in the northwest corner, and it didn't feel crowded at all.
After explaining his brothers, Cao Su made a special trip to meet with his immediate superior in the Forbidden Army, Sima Pengyue of the Forbidden Army.
Peng Yue was from Shendu, a rough looking man. Seeing Cao Su's smooth handover, he was also very satisfied with Cao Su's execution ability.
So he took Cao Su and asked him about it.
"Where will Cao Zhaowu stay after arriving in the capital of the gods? Is there any accommodation arranged?"
"Cao Zhaowu has become a fifth-grade official at a young age. He is really outstanding. Has he ever had a good match?"
"Cao Zhaowu must not be polite to the brothers. The responsibilities of our imperial army lieutenants are different from those of the state armies. We also have colleagues who are responsible for guard patrols. We don't need to do it ourselves. We only need to strengthen training on weekdays."
"By the way, I heard that Cao Zhaowu also became a member of the Hundred Households of the Arch Guard Department?"
Peng Yue talked a lot, and he said a lot at once.
When finally asked about Cao Su's position in the Gongwei Division, his face looked a little strange.
Cao Su nodded and said, "Everything you said is right."
Peng Yue's face stiffened, and he laughed dryly and said: "That's disrespectful. The hundreds of households in the Guards Department are much more popular in the city of God than us, the captain of the imperial army."
When Cao Su heard this, he saw that Peng Yue didn't look envious, so he suddenly felt strange: "What's the difference? Your Excellency, why don't you explain it to me in detail."
