After the military meeting ended, Xia Yu yawned and left the commander's tent.
After staying up all night last night, his eyes were almost red and turned into rabbits. He wanted to go back and catch up on his sleep.
"Military advisor." Suddenly, someone from behind patted Xia Yu on the shoulder.
When he turned around, he saw a powerful, bearded, and fierce-looking general smiling at him.
But this smile is a little penetrating, just one word: ugly!
Xia Yu secretly marveled: It's really hard for his parents to be born so ugly.
"Who is the general?"
"A certain Cheng Yaojin." The man said carelessly.
Xia Yu was in awe: Good guy, it turns out that this guy is the famous Demon King, the evergreen tree of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin!
"Yu Jiancheng, General Cheng, has long admired his name!"
"Haha, the military advisor is too polite. He has such a weak reputation that it's not worth mentioning." Cheng Yao asked Jin Da Le, thinking that Xia Yu wasn't that proud of his talent.
"By the way, General Cheng has something to do with me?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I just feel that I have sympathy with the military advisor, so I came to get to know him."
Xia Yu looked at the macho Cheng Yaojin and was very surprised: You are an ugly guy, I am a handsome guy, you are a general, and I am a scribe, where is Xi?
"General Cheng," he couldn't help but ask, "Do we have anything in common?"
"Why not?" Cheng Yaojin said confidently: "The military advisor is extremely intelligent, and I, old Cheng, am also very alert. How can I be different?"
"..." Xia Yu had a black line on her forehead.
I had known that this guy was a scoundrel, shrewd, cunning, and thick-skinned. But when I saw him today, it turned out that it was better to meet him than to be famous.
However, you are a little clever and I am a great one, how can it be the same?
"Puch!" Someone on the side heard it with great joy.
Xia Yu tilted her head, but she saw a majestic general wearing bright armor, with a copper mace on his back, and a loyal appearance, as strong as a mountain.
Seeing Xia Yu looking over, the man hurriedly saluted: "Qin Qiong has met the military advisor."
"It turns out to be General Qin, whose name I have admired for a long time." Good guy, the great names in history came one after another, and Xia Yu became a little numb.
Who doesn’t know about Qin Qiong, the super strong general and the famous goalkeeper Qin Erge!
Qin Qiong said apologetically: "Forgive me, military advisor, but Yaojin has been fooling around since he was a child, and he doesn't know what to say. Don't be the same as him."
"Second brother, I'm not talking nonsense." Cheng Yaojin was still unconvinced.
"Huh?" Qin Qiong glared and snorted coldly.
Cheng Yaojin immediately fell silent. He had no choice but to do so. Although he had a generous temper, he was obedient in front of Qin Qiong.
The main reason is that the relationship between the two is really unusual.
As we all know, the two grew up together. Cheng Yaojin even accepted Qin's mother as his godmother. Qin Qiong took him to play with him since he was a child.
When he grew up, he went to Wagang to rebel, and Qin Qiong took good care of him.
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin did not dare to disobey Qin Qiong.
This is really one thing that brings another thing down! Xia Yu secretly smiled in her heart, waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter. From now on, we will all be ministers in the same palace, and it is a good thing to get closer to each other."
Cheng Yaojin was happy again: "The military advisor is really a cheerful person. I will see you for a drink when I have time."
"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and catch up on my sleep, and we'll talk again." Xia Yu also likes to make friends, so she readily agreed.
At this time, he suddenly had an epiphany:
Cheng Yaojin is definitely a smart man. He couldn't come to mess with him for no reason. He must have another purpose.
I understand, this guy came here because he believed he had a bright future.
Hey, he is indeed a well-rounded guy, no wonder he has been in trouble all his life. Xia Yu couldn't laugh or cry, but she was also a little impressed.
This ancient man was not stupid, he really shouldn’t underestimate the world’s heroes!
The two sides parted ways, Zhang Yu met Xia Yu, and the two turned around.
After walking a few steps, I saw Zhang Yu scratching his ears and cheeks, looking like he was hesitating to speak. It really looked like he was constipated.
Xia Yu couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
"Sir, I just heard outside the tent that His Highness King Qin has appointed you an official?" Zhang Yu said cautiously.
"Well, I have been granted the title of military advisor, and I am considering joining the army. I am the Right Chancellor of Daxingtai on the East Road." Xia Yu thought about it and immediately understood.
The master is honorable and the servant is noble, and this has never changed. Who doesn’t want to follow a promising leader?
"Great!" Zhang Yu was really happy when he heard this: "Sir, it seems that His Highness the King of Qin likes you very much. But, what kind of officer is this military advisor?"
"Zhang Liang, does Zhuge Liang know?"
"Of course I know." Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "That's a great sage, a character in the story."
"Well, they are military advisors."
When Zhang Yu heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't help but feel that she was with the right person.
"Work hard and you will have a good future in the future." As a good leader, you must know how to give hope to your subordinates. Xia Yu understands this principle well.
"Sir, I will do my best." Zhang Yu instantly became more energetic.
He was an ordinary farmer in Caozhou (today's Dacao County). If he could have a future, his ancestral graves would no doubt be filled with smoke.
There are too many people around Li Shiji, and a new owner like Xia Yu obviously has a much brighter future.
Returning to the camp, Xia Yu was just about to take a rest when she heard someone calling outside the tent: "Is the military advisor here?"
"Yes, come in."
The curtain was lifted, and an acquaintance came in, but it was Dugu Yanyun.
"Military advisor," Dugu Yanyun greeted with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has ordered me to send you some rewards."
"It turns out to be Brother Dugu." Xia Yu hurriedly greeted him: "Why are you here? Aren't you injured?"
"Thank you, Military Advisor, for worrying. It's nothing serious." Dugu Yanyun looked nonchalant.
Although he was still wrapped in circles of gauze and was really seriously injured, when he heard that King Qin was going to deliver something to Xia Yu, he still took the job.
He is not an ordinary person, but comes from the Dugu family, which is the top of the Guanlong family and has even produced several queens.
The children of these aristocratic families have known the importance of making connections since childhood.
Now, seeing that Xia Yu has a bright future, and even more coincidentally has a life-and-death friendship, why not seize the opportunity to deepen it?
Xia Yu naturally knew it well, but she didn't say anything when she saw through it.
It is human nature to be rich in the mountains and have distant relatives.
Moreover, this Dugu Yanyun later grew into Li Shimin's confidant general and was his core team member who initiated the Xuanwumen Incident.
There is no harm in being friends with such people.
At this time, Dugu Yanyun waved, and several people filed in outside the tent. They all held trays and stood in front of Xia Yu.
Dugu Yanyun's face straightened and he sang: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin rewarded you with: fifty guans of money, 200 golden melon seeds, a pair of Hetian jade, two jade belts, four brocade robes, three pairs of deerskin whips, and the famous 'Gaihu' sword.
A handful."
Looking at the dazzling array of property in front of him, Xia Yu was a little confused: Good guy, in total, there must be one or two thousand guan.
Comrade Li Er really spent a lot of money to win over people!
"Military advisor, it's time to thank you." Dugu Yanyun reminded him softly.
"Oh, thank you His Highness King Qin for the reward." Xia Yu woke up from a dream.
"The things have been delivered, so I will not disturb the military advisor's rest. I will return to Chang'an another day and ask the military advisor when I have time."
Having achieved his goal, Dugu Yanyun was ready to say goodbye.
"Wait a minute." Xia Yu called him, and said thoughtfully: "Can I ask how to deal with the aftermath of the four brothers who died in the battle yesterday?"
When Dugu Yanyun heard this, his face became a little sad.
"If you have trouble, the military advisors are concerned. The court has established regulations. Those who died in battle will be compensated, and His Highness the King of Qin will also be rewarded."
"Can the body be recovered?"
"No." Dugu Yanyun became more and more sad: "I sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Maybe Zheng Jun was angry and abandoned it in the ravine."
When Xia Yu heard this, she fell silent.
These are troubled times, and human life is as cheap as grass. Even thinking of being buried in peace is sometimes a luxury.
"Brother Dugu," Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "Can I ask you a favor?"
"Sir, please tell me."
"I will keep these clothes and the famous sword," Xia Yu said sincerely, "You can take the property back and ask someone to hand it over to the family members of the brothers who died in the battle. They died for me, which is a little bit of my gratitude."
When everyone heard this, they were all in awe.
Four people died fighting for the country, and the court would provide their own compensation, so Xia Yu could completely ignore them.
You know, these belongings can be worth thousands of dollars. How many people in the world can be so generous with their wealth!
Dugu Yanyun immediately gave a long salute: "Military Advisor Gao Yi, several brothers from a certain generation thank you. Please rest assured, they will all be delivered."
"Good work."
After a moment, Dugu Yanyun turned around, informed Li Shimin of the situation, and immediately withdrew.
Li Shimin was a little surprised. He looked at a scribe beside him and said, "Uncle, this man is quite generous and generous. What do you think?"
The scribe was in his forties, with a square face, a gentle face, and an elegant demeanor. However, he was a famous official of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Shilian.
Among the civil servants who accompanied the army, he was the third-ranked figure, second only to Feng Deyi and Yu Wenshiji.
Because he is the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugao, he and Li Shimin can also be regarded as relatives, and they are die-hard members of the King of Qin.
Gao Shilian narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness, I feel that this person can be used with confidence."
"What's the explanation?"
"There is a kind of person in the world who is extremely talented and despises the powerful, but he is proud of his superiors but not his subordinates. He has a heart for the common people and takes it as his duty to help the world."
Li Shimin nodded frequently: "Yes, the military advisor seems to be this kind of person."
"This kind of people will serve you to the death as long as Your Highness treats you as a national official and shows you kindness. Moreover, there is no need to worry about their betrayal."
"Why?"
Gao Shilian spoke meaningfully: "Because this kind of people are lazy! They are too lazy to rebel, let alone bring trouble to the world for their own selfish purposes."
Li Shimin was stunned and laughed.
If Xia Yu were here, he would definitely be horrified by what he heard, because Gao Shilian really analyzed his character to the core.
There is really no one who can stand out in troubled times
