While the generals envied Ma Wu one after another, they also secretly made up their minds: "I must hug Marshal Chen's thigh tightly from now on!"
"This leg is really too strong. As long as I can hold on to one of his leg hairs, my career in the rest of my life will not only be a meteoric rise, but also a sesame seed blossom..."
They are happy, and Chen Shen is even happier!
Earlier, this young man who "killed me" was just a lonely minister in the Great Xia Dynasty and had no way to take advantage of the situation.
But from today on, he also has his own circle of influence.
The young man did this not to usurp power one day, but to protect the interests of the Chen family to the greatest extent.
He knew that one day he would have to leave Daxia. And this day was not too far away...
After he leaves, what will happen to the elders of the Chen family and the hundreds of clan members who followed him on the battlefield?
Even leaving aside those clan members, his grandfather Chen Zangfeng faked his death rather than died for real.
When the truth is revealed, will the King of Daxia kill the meritorious officials in anger for the crime of deceiving the emperor?
In his previous life, Chen Shen had often heard of the historical story of "a cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by a lackey", so he would never have imagined how big a king could tolerate.
The king's magnanimity is often related to the value of his ministers.
Once the Northern Barbarians were destroyed and the Tai Kou fell, would the King of Daxia still need to retain the two highly accomplished ministers of the Chen family? The answer is ready to come out.
At that time, if Chen Shen can have a large number of generals with military power to protect him and support him, and if his own strength can be even stronger and reach the four-star or even five-star Xuanwang realm, then it will be considered that the King of Daxia has really improved in that regard.
In my mind, I will also have multiple scruples and dare not act rashly.
The capital and imperial palace of Daxia.
Xia Yuanlong, the king of Daxia, hummed a little tune and teased the birds. He had not been so happy for a long time!
The war in Huainan was tense, but northern Xinjiang was victorious in successive battles.
Just an hour ago, Chen Shen personally sent a good news through the sound transmission array. The Northern Front Army, Dawan Garrison, and Xiaoqi Army, together with the four Blood Guards, worked together to destroy Beiyi's 50,000 Wolf Cavalry and 300,000 warriors.
Since the Battle of Dawan started, six of the ten warriors of Beiyi have been slaughtered, and even their young barbarian leader Ling Yi has become a prisoner, becoming the best bargaining chip in the negotiations between Daxia and the barbarian king of Beiyi...
With this bargaining chip, the King of Daxia believed that even if the Northern Barbarian King broke his teeth and dug his eyes into his stomach, he would definitely agree to sign a ten-year blood pact not to offend Daxia.
In this way, the northern frontier of Great Xia could be kept prosperous for ten years, and the Xia Kingdom finally climbed out of the tragic situation of being attacked from both sides.
"The result of the negotiations may have to wait for another month... Sigh, these days are really difficult!"
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that a boy like Chen Shen, who is not yet young enough to be weak, could actually achieve such extraordinary achievements. I'm afraid his talent is not inferior to that of Chen Zangfeng!"
"Moreover, he also personally told Gu that he had gained insights after a series of fierce battles and actually broke through to the realm of Nine-Star Mysterious Master. Haha, Gu must congratulate him!"
Xia Yuanlong seemed to be mumbling to himself, but in fact, he had the intention of telling this to the eunuch behind him, Li Zongming.
The old eunuch was indeed the roundworm in His Majesty's belly. With a roll of his eyes, he immediately understood what he was thinking and said: "Chen Shaoqing is worthy of being a general. It's a pity that he only has less than two years to live..."
"Haha, in less than two years...then do you think it is possible for Chen Shaoqing to break through King Xuan?" King Daxia suddenly asked with a smile.
Li Zongming shook his head decisively: "I thought it was impossible. Just the accumulation from the early stage of Jiu Xing Xuan Master to the peak of Jiu Xing Xuan Master requires you to calm down and stay in seclusion for two or three years."
"And Chen Shaoqing is on the battlefield, how can he have time to retreat and cultivate? Besides...even if he reaches the peak of nine stars, it will not be easy for this Xuan Master to break through King Xuan's Earthly Martial Tribulation!"
"Oh, that's such a pity, such a pity!" King Daxia shook his head and sighed, his tone full of sadness, but the sadness in his eyes was very limited.
The great eunuch Li Zongming said again: "Your Majesty, please don't be too nervous. After all, life and death are determined by fate."
"Besides, Chen Shaoqing can devote his whole life to the country in less than two years, and he has been promoted by Your Majesty. Even if his life is limited, he can live longer than most people who live for decades or hundreds of years.
It’s much more exciting!”
"For him, isn't it a blessing?"
"Well, that makes sense."
The King of Daxia nodded slowly: "In that case, during Chen Shen's lifetime, Gu Bian allowed him to reach the top of one person and above ten thousand people, and he was praised by the world!"
"In the future, even if he dies, the Chen family's generals will be famous throughout the ages. It can be said that they have lived up to the contribution that these two grandsons have made to our country..."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The king of Daxia raised his hand and said: "Grind the ink, I will write it."
"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, stood on a square low table under the dragon table, raised his pen and listened attentively.
In the meantime, Xia Yuanlong put his hands behind his back, pacing slowly while speaking in a sentence: "Zhongyonghou, the third-rank lieutenant general Chen Shen, led 20,000 brave cavalry to resist the powerful enemy of the Northern invaders. With a small number of enemies, the enemy was numerous, but he killed 50,000 Northern invaders.
Wolf Cavalry, a hundred thousand warriors, and brave generals who killed the enemy one after another, captured the young master of Beiyi alive, I am so relieved!"
"You have made an immortal contribution, I am so lucky to be alone, the people are so lucky, and the country is so lucky!"
"From now on, I will promote the title of Zhongyong Hou, from the third-rank lieutenant general Chen Shen to the third-rank, associate general, and the president will respond to matters related to the garrison of the northern border. In the twenty-seven cities in the north, hundreds of generals and thousands of officials can be called upon at will, and they can be executed first and then reported.
privilege, and also give one million pearls and brocade, one billion gold coins, and ten thousand mysterious pills to reward the three armies!"
"You should work diligently and forge ahead to eliminate the troubles of the northern barbarians for our Daxia. I admire this - Autumn, the fifteenth year of Longyuan in Daxia."
When Li Zongming wrote the last word, the old eunuch couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Your Majesty's reward to Chen Shen is definitely unprecedentedly generous!"
"Needless to say about others, just compare it with his grandfather Chen Zangfeng when he was young. The latter joined the army at the age of twenty-four and became a general at the age of thirty."
"I won hundreds of battles, big and small. It took me seventeen years, and when I was nearly half a century old, I climbed step by step from a fifth-grade junior general to a third-grade associate general."
"Chen Shen is good. Although he has made great achievements, he only fought a battle in the Beiyi War at best. From the beginning, he was a fourth-rank general, and he advanced all the way to a third-rank associate general."
"Moreover, he still has the title of a third-grade official, half a level higher than the official rank. He is said to be a quasi-admiral, but in fact he is no different from a real second-grade general..."
"Achieving such a status at the age of sixteen has not only never happened in the history of Great Xia, but even if the history of all the kingdoms in the continent is taken into account, those who have achieved this level of achievement must be very rare, right?"
While the great eunuch was thinking, the King of Great Xia came over in person and stamped the edict.
"Your Majesty, the rewards for other generals..."
Before the old eunuch finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Yuanlong's lazily waved hand: "You can draft the reward decrees of those people by yourself. Once you have drafted them, just give them to Gu Guangmu for sealing."
His attitude of favoring one thing over another is really unabashed...
