At dawn, Yun Ye was woken up by pressure. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xin Yue's eyes were only an inch away from his own. He couldn't see anything clearly, only two big eyes could be seen.
Seeing that her husband had woken up, Xin Yue immediately rubbed her head against Yun Ye's head to be intimate with her, rubbing it hard and making a sound like a cat meowing in her mouth.
Men can't stand teasing in the morning. Just when they were about to catch Xin Yue Dun Lun, Xin Yue ran away with a giggle, opened the door, let the sunlight in, and shouted loudly for the maids to come and serve them.
Xinyue had issued a strict order last night. Anyone who came without being summoned by the master would be beaten to death with sticks.
Although the Yun family has never beaten a servant to death, the wife has never issued such a strict order. Therefore, the servants and maids obediently hid in their houses until Xin Yue called, and the entire Yun family's back house seemed to have just woken up from sleep.
After waking up, the servants and maids began their day's work.
That evening, bells, bells, and seedlings all ran to Xin Yue's room and saw that her husband was still sleeping. Xin Yue looked like she hadn't slept all night, her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, but her energy was amazingly strong.
Facing the three of them, Xinyue smiled, pointed at Yun Ye who was sleeping on the bed, laughed, and stepped out of the threshold proudly, like a general who had won a battle.
"Poor husband." Lingdang thought that her husband had been ravaged by Xin Yue all night last night, so she decided to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of medicinal porridge for her husband to nourish his qi and kidneys.
That day, Mu didn't see it that way. He looked at the neatly arranged bed, wrinkled his nose and sniffed Yun Ye's body like a puppy, and said with a proud smile: "They didn't do anything last night."
Yun Ye was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep, so he got up directly, stretched and went to wash up in the garden. He hated washing up in the house instead of having fun outside.
I plunged into the warm water and took a sip of water. At the moment when I was almost suffocated, I suddenly raised my head and squirted out a sip of water in the shape of a goddess scattering flowers. All the air remaining in my lungs last night was sprayed out with the water.
Got out.
Take a few more breaths with the sound of the whistle, and you will immediately feel like you have been transformed.
After completing this set of procedures, you will carefully cleanse your face, brush your teeth, and finally put a piece of tangerine peel in your mouth. Even if you have completed this important work, originally the honorary family had to apply makeup and powder. Since Yun Ye created the plain face, so
There are fewer and fewer people doing it. Nowadays, as long as a man puts on makeup and makeup, he will be denounced as a country boy by the elegant Chang'an people.
Today's work is very tedious. I'm inspecting Zuowuwei. It looks like I have to do it all day. The old man is back and he's still the general of Zuowuwei. There are more than 3,000 wounded soldiers left at Jianmen Pass. I'm going to Zuowuwei today.
Just to discuss how to deal with those people, the old man was very protective of his calf and was extremely dissatisfied with the pensions and rewards from the Ministry of War. He believed that others were fighting in prosperous places and could live well without any rewards. With a large army, there would be a way to make money.
I am leading an army to fight in a place where there is no place for shit. I want to get some extra money to subsidize the soldiers. I can't do it. Zuowuwei's soldiers are pitiful. If the three provinces and the Ministry of War can't give Zuowuwei an explanation, the old man is ready.
He went to the imperial city naked and used his bare buttocks to prove to the emperor how miserable Zuo Wuwei was.
Naturally, the emperor would not see a naked general, so he told Yun Ye that he could tilt Zuowuwei a little to the best of his ability, but not too much. Zuowuwei was famous for eating more and occupying more.
of.
The old man also went through the process that Yun Ye and the others went through when he returned to the capital. Now, for the sake of Zuo Wuwei's well-being, he insists on refusing to go home. The soldiers have not received enough compensation, and he will not go home first. So not only did he not return
At home, Lieutenant General Zhou Chong did not go back either, and they all stayed in the Lishan military camp.
Yun Ye arrived at the military camp at noon. At first glance, he saw that everything was devastated. The sergeants were wearing tattered clothes and the war horses were emaciated and spinning in the military camp. It seemed that they would fall to the ground if they were blown by a gust of wind.
The battle flag hanging on the camp gate is also full of fireworks, and the black tiger in the middle can no longer be seen clearly. It doesn't look like a brave warrior who has returned from hundreds of battles.
The military officer of the Ministry of War smiled bitterly and said to Yun Ye: "My lord, look at this, this is Zuo Wuwei. He is brave and invincible on the battlefield. He has become like this when he gets off the battlefield. They always take advantage of the situation, and my subordinates really take advantage of it."
This gentleman has no choice."
Yun Ye chuckled and said: "I came from Zuowuwei, how could I not know the doorway here? We came here just to be slaughtered. Anyway, His Majesty said to lean a little if you can, they are in Dafei
Sichuan has been working hard for three years, and it can be considered a great reward for hard work, so we just have to endure it."
The person who went out to greet Angel Shangguan was Zhou Chong. He looked up and saw a smiling Yun Ye riding on a horse. His old face was slightly red, and he loudly chased away the running sergeants. Then he came closer and asked in a low voice: "Shuai Yun."
, why are you here? Didn’t you say that the one who came here today is Lao Duan? That guy who is like a dog does not recognize his relatives. The brothers have no choice but to show this pitiful look. If I had known that it was you who came, who would have had the time to lie. "
"Okay, take me to see the old man. Why don't you go home and stay in the military camp? Auntie thought it was me, the Minister of War, who didn't allow the old man to go home. She cried twice at home. I came here today to solve the problem.
of."
Yun Ye dismounted, followed by Wang Cai Hao. The people in Zuo Wuwei were already very familiar with this scene. When they saw Yun Ye coming, the general who was squatting at the base of the wall to demonstrate, surrounded him with a smile, and followed
Yun Ye complained.
"Go away! Isn't it because I didn't get any money or food? I don't even want to lose my face. Do you really plan to let the old man go to the barracks naked? In that case, Zuo Wuwei will be shameless?"
"Shuai Yun, that's not what you said. Zuo Wuwei and the brothers from the Hexi Army have suffered hard in Dafeichuan for three years. Look, some of the people who came back are good-looking and good-looking. You also know, brothers
We were counting on this battle to produce a wife and a cute son. Now that the battle is over, all the benefits have been taken away by others. The brothers in the Hexi Army don't even have a place to stay, so they have nowhere to talk about their suffering."
Just when the generals were pouring out their bitterness around Yun Ye, they heard the commander shout: "Shut up! It's not embarrassing enough. If our own people are here, we can miss out on your merits. Boy, come in!"
Hearing that Lao Cheng was angry, the generals immediately dispersed in a noisy manner. It was Yun Shuai who came, and he would never treat his old brother badly. The military camp immediately became lively.
Yun Ye entered the big tent and saw Old Cheng's gray beard and hair, and his slightly stooped waist. His nose felt sour and he almost shed tears.
"Put away your urine. You've already reached the rank of Minister of War. Why are your eye sockets so shallow? I won't die for a while. Save some tears to cry on the grave.
Boy, this time Zuo Wuwei is seriously injured, please tell me first what are the rules of the imperial court?"
Yun Ye greeted Lao Cheng respectfully, took out the wine bottle from his arms and handed it over. Lao Cheng sniffed his nose, bit open the cork, took a big gulp, and let out a long breath.
He signaled Yun Ye to start talking.
"Uncle Cheng, the Zuowu Guard has been reduced by 40% in this battle. There are 12,000 soldiers. Less than 5,000 can continue to serve. More than 2,000 wounded people need to be stripped of the Zuowu Guard. The new Zuowu Guard can only have
Thirty-six hundred people, this was already the largest share that my nephew could get for Zuo Wuwei. During the nationwide attack on Tang Dynasty, the Sixteenth Guards participated in the battle one after another, especially Mobei and Beiting suffered the heaviest losses.
Guo Xiaoke's entire army was wiped out, Qibi was defeated at Baishan Mountain, and Zhang Jian did not get any benefits in Silla. No less than 60,000 soldiers died in the battle. Now there is an acute shortage of soldiers. After the war, His Majesty's strategy is to put people's livelihood first, and start
Various projects that had been stopped before the war were interrupted, so the military could only slowly lick its wounds and gradually recover.
At this stage, Zuowuwei can only maintain 8,600 troops, and the Ministry of War plans to gradually replenish Zuowuwei in three years to reach a full strength of 12,000."
Lao Cheng interrupted Yun Ye and said: "It's good to be able to reach eight thousand six. There are only six thousand people left in Xiaowei and less than three thousand in Wuwei. I still know that the one with the last name of Zuo will be given to me."
Wuwei replenished 3,600 people. You have done your best. I have nothing to say. Now tell me what to do with the military merits reported. Duan Zhixuan's son dared to say that I lied about military merits. What do you think?
?”
"Your Majesty has given the order. The Ministry of War will naturally report merit according to the merit book. Uncle Cheng, at least you can get a few decent men to join the army. The merit book you gave, the scattered achievements and the final number of people cannot be compared. According to your
In the credit book given, all the Tubo people have died, and they can't make up the numbers, and there are too many things about defeating thousands of enemies with a hundred horses. People saw through it at a glance. No wonder Duan Hu lost his temper and said that you
The merit book is drawn with your feet."
Lao Cheng took another sip of wine and sighed: "There are no talents. These killers are good at fighting, but when it comes to those who are good at writing and writing, they are blind. There are two students from the academy, but they are honest people.
, I just didn’t dare to scribble in the credit book. Wuli Sima was also an idiot. He was whipped by me, but he still refused to change his surname. I had no choice but to do it myself. I think back then, you were there.
At that time, when did our Zuo Wuwei's credit record go wrong?
Now that you have become the Minister of the Ministry of War, you are considered promising. If you can help these big-headed soldiers, say some good things, just say something. We old guys are not good enough. Li Jing asked me to recommend you to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. This is what I have in mind.
, with you here, we will have fewer sins. In fact, our disasters were not caused by these soldiers?"
"Money and food are easy to talk about, but there is a problem in arranging manpower. Uncle Cheng, I have an idea. I will tell you about it and you can check it in detail."
Lao Cheng nodded and prepared to listen. There was no need to hide anything when talking to the old man. Yun Ye said directly: "As long as the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei don't pick and choose, and don't plan to do some errands in Chang'an, Luoyang, or the two capitals, Xiao
My nephew still has a way to settle them all."
Lao Cheng spread out the map, tapped it with his hand, and asked Yun Ye to mark it on the map. (To be continued.)
