Chapter 117 my country's virtual general is waiting
There was silence on the general stage, with only the cold wind whimpering in the surrounding fields and the flags flying.
Li Dingyuan fluttered his sleeves and walked away, his figure sparse.
Xie Ruyu stretched out her hand and pressed the railing, jumped down, greeted General Wei, and walked towards the direction of Dingxiang Army.
Su Lu was happily praising Zhao Pu and the other captains.
"Yes, although the battle formation is not yet skilled enough, I have also developed my Su Lu style. When your cooperation becomes more skillful, I will take you to meet the Thule people, establish some military merits, and raise all the honors.
.”
A battalion captain at the back looked frightened: "Commander, how can we, cowards like us, defeat the Thule troops?"
Li Dazhuang raised his leg and gave the battalion captain who spoke:
"Lao Cheng, your grandson is afraid of death. How could I be so deceived that I promoted you to the rank of captain? Then I will beat you up and make you your top soldier."
Lao Cheng patted his butt and smiled:
"I, Old Cheng, just want to ask, if there is no order from the Governor or Captain in the future, I, Old Cheng, will carry out the order, and I will never flinch, no matter the sword or the sea of fire."
"good"
Xie Ruyu came over with General Wei, followed by several forbidden troops. Xie Ruyu pointed at Lao Cheng who was speaking and praised him.
"This is how the soldiers of a famous general should act. They must obey orders and never flinch."
"Marshal Zhou, the god of the Tang army, is invincible in every battle, and his soldiers are just like this captain."
Su Lu squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Ruyu.
He was wearing a formal dress today, a crimson official robe with a round collar and a wingless gauze crown. If it weren't for his flat chest and Adam's apple in his neck, Su Lu would have really suspected that he was a woman.
"Master Xie, you are here not just to praise me, the sergeant of Dingxiang Army, right?"
Su Lu asked with a smile.
Xie Ruyu clasped her fists in front of her chest, saluted Su Lu, and said in a clear voice:
"Brother Su, when I admired your poems earlier, I thought it was just a joke that you were best at fighting. Now it seems that Ruyu is short-sighted."
"In terms of military command alone, Brother Su is no better than any general in our Tang Dynasty. Among all the countries, there are very few who can compare with Brother Su."
General Wei also looked at Su Lu respectfully. He originally admired Su Lu's poetry, but now he added Su Lu's commander. Thinking of what he said on the general stage, General Wei's face turned red, almost black.
Can't cover it up.
All the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army were also honored, especially Zhao Pu, who kept swiping at Xie Ruyu's neck and chest, muttering words like "It's a pity, it's a pity."
Li Lin next to him lowered his voice and asked: "What are you regretting?"
Zhao Pu said in his ear: "It's a pity that this envoy is not a woman. What a pity."
Li Lin made a big fuss and glared at Zhao Pu:
"shameless"
But when Li Lin looked at Xie Ruyu again, he couldn't help but think about Zhao Pu's words. Looking at Xie Ruyu in front of him, he realized more and more that he was a woman and the type he liked.
Su Lu waved his hands repeatedly: "It's all bragging. I'm bragging after drinking too much. I'm a three-legged cat. I can't thank you for your praise."
Xie Ruyu suddenly said seriously: "Brother Su, if you are in trouble in the future, you can come to the Tang Kingdom to find me. I, the Tang Kingdom, will treat Brother Su as a scholar."
Zhao Pu added with a smile: "It's just a national scholar. If there is any more affordable job, the honor will be reliable."
Xie Ruyu glanced at the emperor's eldest son Li Xun in the distance, with a smile on his fair face:
"The job is easy. If Brother Su is willing to come, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will treat Brother Su as a general."
Zhao Pu was confused, and the Imperial Guards behind him were also confused. The Tang State actually used the title of general to win over the governor!
Su Lu withdrew his gaze from Li Xun, waved his hand and said:
"Master Xie, you are joking. I am a citizen of the Han Kingdom. I was born and raised here. How can I vote for another country?"
Xie Ruyu looked at Li Xun in the distance and said with a smile:
"Brother Su, sometimes we ministers have no control over our fate. Why don't we make a bet that you will definitely go to our Tang Dynasty. When you become the general of our Tang Dynasty, you must write another poem to me."
Su Lu laughed a few times and turned to face Li Dingyuan. When passing by Xie Ruyu, he lowered his voice and said:
"If you use such conspiracy again, I will defect to the Western Qin Dynasty."
Xie Ruyu laughed and turned to face Li Dingyuan.
When Li Dingyuan saw Xie Ruyu and Su Lu coming side by side, he couldn't help but praise:
"What a golden couple. Mr. Xie is handsome. He is not a woman, but he is better than a woman."
Xie Ruyu laughed:
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Ruyu is often misunderstood like this when walking in the court. I am really upset."
Li Dingyuan burst out laughing. It was not easy to defeat such a cunning envoy.
"Su Lu, what did you tell Xie Qing?"
Li Dingyuan asked Su Lu with a smile.
Su Lu was a minister he valued. He had escorted Beiyang, fought bloody battles in Lintao, and fought fiercely at Yumen. He, Li Dingyuan, could not find any reason not to value such an invincible minister.
Before Su Lu could speak, Xie Ruyu spoke first:
"Brother Su is unparalleled in his wits and invincible in every battle. Since Zhou Shuai left, our country of Tang has not had a general like Brother Su. I thought it would be a good thing if I could persuade Brother Su to go to our country of Tang."
Li Dingyuan glared at Su Lu, then smiled and accused Xie Ruyu:
"Xie Qing, this boy is not yet twenty years old, but he is already the founding uncle of our Han Kingdom, the fifth-ranked General Ning Yuan, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army. You, the Tang Kingdom, can't give you such a position and title, right?"
Xie Ruyu smiled: "Your Majesty said so."
There was no intention to argue at all, as if what Li Dingyuan said was whatever he said.
Li Dingyuan suddenly felt as if he had punched cotton. He was annoyed, but had nowhere to turn, so he had to glare at Su Lu again.
"Your boy performed well in this military exercise. Everyone in the Dingxiang Army was promoted to first-class honors. Su Lu commanded the troops well and promoted the prestige of our country. He was promoted to the fifth rank of General Dingyuan, and was awarded the title of Minister of Military Affairs.
The ceremony will go to the great court meeting."
Su Lu was a little confused. Why did he give so many benefits at once? It sounded a bit illusory.
However, the Imperial Guards behind him all shouted thanks. Being promoted to a first-level honorary rank means that the honorary rank is more valuable, which is a real benefit.
Li Dingyuan saw that Su Lu didn't thank him, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Lu:
"Why, are you dissatisfied with the reward?"
Li Qing, who had followed, stood up quickly and said on behalf of Su Lu:
"Father, it's not that Su Lu is dissatisfied, it's just that he hasn't figured out yet what kind of treatment he will get if you give him the title of Minister of Military Affairs and a member of the imperial court."
After Li Qing finished speaking, he explained to Su Lu in a low voice:
"The Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Academy is similar to the Military Counselor you were named last time, but it is much higher. He can get a lot more monthly salary. He can travel to the imperial court and be paid. He can participate in the imperial assembly and report to the emperor."
Su Lu thought for a while: "I am a junior official. Is it okay if I don't go to the imperial court?"
Li Dingyuan walked away angrily: "If you don't want to walk, just leave."
Zhao Pu and Li Lin came over one after another to complain about Su Lu.
"This is a huge benefit. I can give the emperor a discount directly. No matter how many people ask for it, I won't be able to get it."
"Whoever dares to cause trouble to our Dingxiang Army will be sent to His Majesty with a memorial."
Su Lu sneered at this: "I have to get up early for the big meeting. If I don't have time, I might as well sleep more."
