When Hou Shilu and others heard this, they didn't know what evil moth the Zhongxing Hou was going to do. They had been frightened by him just now, and they felt uneasy. They all clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "Please show me, Mr. Hou."
Zhong Jinwei did not speak immediately. He raised his head and gestured to Gu Baichuan.
Gu Baichuan immediately took out a thick stack of paper from his arms, then took two steps forward and said to these generals: "Come here to get the list of generals. Wanquan Zuowei."
"The last general is here." General Wanquan Zuowei took a few steps forward and reached out to take the list handed to him by Gu Baichuan. He glanced at it and found that there were densely packed names on it. He couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that Marquis Zhongxing wanted to arrest him again?
people?
Gu Baichuan didn't say anything unnecessary. He called the names of the generals and asked them to come over and take the list back. Kong Fang also received a copy. Hou Shilu was the only one present who didn't have one.
This made Hou Shilu a little curious, not knowing what it was, and a little disappointed, why didn't he have it?
Zhong Jinwei looked at the general who had received the list and was sizing up the paper in his hand, and suddenly found a general whose actions made him very speechless. He reminded him: "Hey, you, yes, it's you, you took it down!"
When the general heard this, his face suddenly turned red. He turned the paper away and explained hoarsely: "The last general is illiterate, which made the Marquis laugh."
Zhong Jinwei frowned, looked at him and confirmed, "Are you from the Wei Institute?" [
The general didn't understand why Zhongxing Hou suddenly changed the subject again, and he didn't want Zhongxing Hou to focus on his shortcomings of being illiterate, so he quickly replied: "Yes, Mr. Hou's piercing eyes are really powerful."
Zhong Jinwei sighed in his heart. With the weird guard system, soldiers were not allowed to change their nationality, and then they trained some illiterate generals. How could they often win battles just by relying on the experience passed down by their ancestors?
At this time, Gu Baichuan had finished distributing the goods and returned to his position. Zhong Jinwei suppressed the sigh in his heart, sat up straight, and said to these generals: "If there is something that needs to dispatch some soldiers to the capital, the list you have is my list."
Those who want it will all gather in Zhangjiakou tomorrow afternoon."
When Zhong Jinwei said this, he saw that the expressions of several generals immediately turned ugly, and some of them frowned, and they reacted as if asking for someone's life would cost them their lives.
"I'm leaving my words here. If the people I want don't come to the meeting point tomorrow, I will cause trouble for you. Whether you believe it or not, I advise you to not let me cause trouble for you!" Zhong Jinwei was not prepared to let them do it.
Excuses and threats.
His expression was as if I am bigger than you, and I will defeat you. If anyone dares not to believe it, I will stab you. This made several generals who had never seen such a naked threat, including the commander-in-chief Hou Shilu, stunned.
Then they really didn't dare to go against Zhong Jinwei, so they all responded with sad faces: "As ordered."
"Okay, if you can cooperate with me, I won't be too stingy. Kong Fang!"
Zhong Jinwei suddenly named Kong Fang, which made him startled. He didn't know if Zhongxing Hou, who was not following common sense, was looking for him, so he was in trouble.
"The last general is here." Kong Fang was already standing in front of Zhong Jinwei. At this time, he held the list in his right hand, put his left hand on his right hand, and saluted.
"Thanks to you for cooperating with me these days, you have done so many things, which have been converted into military merits." Zhong Jinwei said this, gestured to Gu Baichuan, and then said: "In recognition of your contribution, I will promote you to the rank of military officer."
General, we will come to Zhangjiakou tomorrow along with the soldiers on the list and report to the Ministry of War in the capital."
When Kong Fang heard this, he didn't believe it. After Zhongxing Hou came, he saw how his troubles fell on him, but he turned into a loser.
Originally, if he stayed in the capital, he would have some merits as King Qin, and he might be able to come back as a general. However, Hou Shilu considered that when Marquis Zhongxing came to Xuanfu, he would be found out about deducting military pay and pretending to receive it, so he ignored him.
Because of his achievements, he was forced to come back first. As a result, Kong Fang went to the capital in vain and got nothing. Although Hou Shilu had made a promise, Kong Fang still felt a little concerned.
Now, when he was not looking forward to it, Zhong Jinwei promoted him to a general, which really surprised him.
Kong Fang didn't react for a moment and looked at Zhong Jinwei in a daze. It wasn't until Gu Baichuan handed him the new appointment that he came back to his senses. Surprise appeared on his face. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said to him.
Zhong Jinwei replied: "Thank you so much, Mr. Hou!"
In his excitement, he didn't realize that Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, was looking at him, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.[
"Okay, that's all. I have to go back and get busy." After saying that, Zhong Jinwei stood up from Hou Shilu's handsome seat, patted his butt and left.
"Farewell, Your Majesty." The generals in the tent saluted quickly, but they were saying in their hearts, "Go quickly, go quickly."
Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei walked to the door and when he was about to leave the tent, he stopped, turned around and said, "Kong Fang, come out."
After giving instructions, Zhong Jinwei left the tent.
When Kong Fang heard this, he quickly followed him, not knowing what else Marquis Zhongxing wanted to explain.
While he was happy, he didn't ask his immediate boss for leave with his eyes or anything, and went out directly. This made Hou Shilu stare at his back, and his attempt to meet him with his eyes failed.
As soon as Kong Fang went out, the Dongchang officers did not follow him out. They blocked the door of the tent and looked at the generals in the tent.
After Kong Fang followed him out, he found that Zhongxing Hou was standing at the door waiting for him, surrounded by royal guards.
He didn't dare to look, so he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Kong Fang is here."
Hearing this, Zhong Jinwei turned around and looked at him with a cold face for a while. When he saw Kong Fang getting angry, Zhong Jinwei changed his smile again and said to him: "You know, I planned to kill you at the beginning. Kill the chicken."
Show it to the monkey."
As soon as Kong Fang heard this, sweat started to break out on his back. He thought it was a good thing, but unexpectedly he poured a plate of cold water on his face.
"Fortunately, you are smart and know how to cooperate with me. Be a good person in the future, otherwise you will inevitably get stabbed. Someone in Xuan Mansion is watching you." After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, he patted Kong Fang's shoulder twice.
Kong Fang's body seemed to have no bones. Zhong Jinwei patted him and he became shorter.
After Zhong Jinwei took the picture, he ignored him and walked towards the place where the horse stopped.
After a while, Zhong Jinwei was in front, followed by Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi. Under the escort of Dongchang's officers and Jinyi guards, they rode away in a mighty manner.
Hou Shilu led the young men inside the tent out of the big tent, and found that Kong Fang was still staring at the retreating figure of Hou Zhongxing in a daze. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said sarcastically: "I lean against a big tree again, I can't bear to leave him.
Let’s go.”
Kong Fang was shocked when he heard this, as if he had forgotten about the commander. He quickly turned around, with a smile on his face and said: "Commander, you are joking. You know that your subordinates are not people who forget their loyalty for profit."
Hou Shilu curled his lips slightly, ignored Kong Fang's words, and continued to ask: "Why did Marquis Zhongxing call you out alone just now?"
Kong Fang's eyes did not miss Hou Shilu's facial expression. Knowing that Hou Shilu was very dissatisfied with him, he did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Commander, Zhongxing Hou just told his subordinates that he wanted to kill them."
When Hou Shilu heard this, he thought, "You want to kill you and promote you to an official position, are you fooling me?" He didn't want to hear it anymore, he made a "hum" sound from his nose, turned around and got back into the big tent.
Several other generals had expressions of gloating on their faces, shook their heads exaggeratedly in front of Kong Fang, and then got into the tent to flatter Hou Shilu.
Kong Fang watched them enter in silence, feeling cold in his heart. In order to save his life, he had to temporarily surrender to Marquis Zhongxing.
He can't decide what the Marquis of Zhongxing wants to do. If he wants to give it to the general, shouldn't he insist on not accepting it? King of hard work and hard work, the credit is in the eyes of the commander.
I still doubt myself now!
Forget it, Kong Fang's mood waned for a while, so it's okay if such a commander doesn't follow him. General Qin in Zhangjiakou happened to be unfamiliar with the place. Although there were some minions to help, the effect was not very big. Now that he has joined in, he can just sell it.
A good price.
Kong Fang thought of this and did not go to Hou Shilu to continue explaining. He turned around and went back to his camp. The matters explained by Hou Zhongxing could not be delayed any longer.
Zhong Jinwei naturally did not know that his rash actions caused Hou Shilu and Kong Fang to part ways. After he rode away, he did not speak and was a bit silent.
Although Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi were a little strange, Marquis Zhongxing could not judge according to common sense when doing things, so they did not say anything and hurried back one horse head behind Marquis Zhongxing.
After a while, Zhong Jinwei suddenly sighed: "There are so many things to do. Today I saw an illiterate general again. This is ridiculous. The system of the guard station must be reformed vigorously."
"
Zhong Jinwei would say this about the system passed down by Taizu, but Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi would not dare to do so.
Gu Baichuan was one horse head behind Ma Xianglin, and was on the left side of Zhong Jinwei. At this time, he also heard Zhong Jinwei's sigh.
Among these people, he and Wang Peng were the ones who had followed Zhong Jinwei for the longest time and knew Zhong Jinwei best. He knew that Marquis Zhongxing might have misunderstood, so he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Marquis, you blame the guard for not teaching the soldiers to read.
Did it lead to illiterate generals?"
When Zhong Jinwei heard Gu Baichuan talking to him, he turned his head and looked at him and said, "Why, isn't it?"
Gu Baichuan chuckled and replied: "Master Hou really has a misunderstanding about Wei Suo."
"Oh, isn't it?" Zhong Jinwei was surprised and repeated.
"Master Marquis, when Taizu set up a guard post, he stipulated that each guard post must provide martial arts and Confucianism for the children of military households. Therefore, many Jinshi in this dynasty are from military households." Gu Baichuan urged the horse closer.
Enter the guard at o'clock and explain to him.
Zhong Jinwei was very surprised to hear that the military household was not of low status, abandoned by others, and had no status at all. Why did he run away from Jinshi?
He reined in his horse and stopped, and said to Gu Baichuan: "Please tell me in detail, am I really ignorant? Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi also lined up on both sides of the Zhongjin Guard. They looked at each other and smiled. Zhongxing Hou, who was usually unknown to everyone, knew what everyone knew.
