Chapter 123 Westward Journey
"You killed two?"

Chong Feng bit his pen and thought for a moment: "Forget it this time, remember to bring your head next time, or you won't be able to count."

After finishing speaking, he signed two notes, and the veteran held them in both hands, and left in gratitude.

There was a long line in front of him, and these people were all soldiers who had gained something in this battle.

What is harvest?Naturally, it is the life of the enemy.

The emperor didn't make it clear in advance, and after the Shouzhou City was taken down, he asked Lu Zai to take people to the government office to get the registered household and field books, and said that he would distribute the fields to everyone.

These Zhangjiajun troops were the best-paid troops in the Song Dynasty before.

Take the last time Wang De took Bozhou as an example. Once he entered Bozhou City, he was allowed to be looted by everyone... Naturally, that was the last time.

This time the emperor did not allow them to act recklessly, and they actually did not dare to act recklessly in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone knows that it is wrong to rob people, especially the people, and most of them are the people of Song Dynasty.

But after fighting desperately, in the end, at most, he had to step forward. How can he be promoted to an official position to satisfy everyone's appetite!

This time, the officials divided the fields... Few of them were interested in Shouzhou, and they didn't even think about planting the fields after they got them.

But there is an advantage, that is, it can be resold to others, even if others don't want it, they can still go to the official's house for some money.

The most important point is what the emperor said in person, every time someone is killed, it must be recorded, and when it is accumulated later, there will be rewards.

For example, if you kill one in Shouzhou this time, by the time you get to Kaifeng, you have already saved ten, then you can exchange for land in any state capital in the world, even if it is Lin'an, even if there is no land, the emperor said he spent Money buys and buys rewards.

If twenty of them are collected, His Majesty will be able to send a certificate of renunciation... This thing is a rare item. As I said before, Su Dongpo healed the West Lake by relying on this.

Because monks do not have to pay taxes, and the imperial court strictly controls this thing.

In the private market, a duo has exceeded 50 taels of silver many years ago.

50 two!
Desperate soldiers have to save ten years!

In the past, it was all about earning some ill-gotten gains, but now it’s all right, what we earn is a peace of mind, that is, earning money based on our ability in an upright manner.

While earning money without delaying promotion, many people felt the beauty of their job for the first time.

Another person came forward, Zhong Feng looked at him and said:

"Which battalion does he belong to? Name, place of origin, current position, how many enemies have been killed, can anyone provide evidence, please report together."

The man smiled flatteringly: "No, it's not my business, it's someone else's credit."

"Then ask him to come here in person! Entrusting someone else to do such an important matter of wealth is really heartless!"

This person only knows that the person speaking is a personal general beside His Majesty, so how dare he offend him.

First he bowed and clasped his fists to salute, and then he said: "That man's life is poor, he was shot in the eye by an arrow when he entered the city, he was cured for five or six days, and he died just now."

Before Zhongfeng could speak, he continued, "But he did shoot one person in the head, and that's what the young general saw with his own eyes."

Seeing that the Shangguan's face has eased a lot, this person took advantage of the victory to pursue:
"He is from Ningzhou, the young general's hometown, and he joined the army in the first year of Jingkang... He has been in the army all these years, and he doesn't even have a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law."

Ningzhou is on the side of Qingyang Mansion, which happens to be the place where his family ruled.

If everything is normal, this person should be a part of his Western Army if he wants to join the army.

Zhong Feng's tone was calmer: "Since this is the case, who should leave these two acres of land to?"

The man was a little hesitant: "The little future bothers you, just to ask if this field can be recorded first. When we return to Ningzhou in the future, if this person's parents are still alive..."

Hundreds of people have registered, and this is the first time Zhongfeng has encountered such a situation.

However, it was because of his quick thinking that he was selected by the emperor to join the Imperial City Division, and he became the commander of the Imperial City Division in one step.

If you keep going north, you will encounter many such situations.

After a pause, he said, "I have no control over this matter, you go with me and ask His Majesty what he wants."

Hearing this, the man suddenly became a little scared:

"How dare you bother the officials with such a small matter!"

"Forget it, Ning Prefecture has been occupied by Jinren for so many years, his parents probably died long ago, so this land should be left to others."

As he spoke, he wanted to run away, but Zhong Feng grabbed him by the collar:
"Your Majesty has said that this is not a small matter, it is a big matter."

In the past, the emperor gave thousands of warnings, and he would rather give more than give less. Everyone in the world does not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and the rewards that have been agreed must not be less.

If there is negligence, someone will definitely lose his head.

Although the emperor likes to joke, but when he is not joking, there is no room for joking.

Having been by his side for a few months, Zhong Feng had somewhat figured out the temper of this official Zhao.

He took the man directly into the city, and walked straight for a long distance. When he arrived at the Shouzhou government office, before he entered, he saw Zhao Guan's family sitting on the steps eating snacks.

There were also several generals around, and they were in the same posture, the difference was that they sat several steps lower than the emperor.

"Hey, a commander is here!"

Zhang Taiwei smiled even more obsequiously than that person just now. For some reason, he couldn't help lowering his status in front of Zhong's family.

Although Zhong Feng already knew the reason, Zhong Shizhong's death had nothing to do with this person, but after all, he has held grudges for so many years, and it is still difficult to let go of it for a while.

He didn't give Zhang Taiwei a good face, he cupped his hands indifferently, and put it next to the emperor's ear, and told the ins and outs of the matter.

On the contrary, Zhang Taiwei was left out in the cold, and the old man's face showed a little embarrassment.

Liu Bang looked at the soldier, he was wearing a suit of armor, and he didn't wear a belt without fighting, and he felt loose.

The emperor's just looking at him made the man feel his knees go weak, and he almost knelt down.

"Just do as you said. I will write down the land that should be given to this person. If his parents are found in the future, this land deed will be exchanged with them."

The soldier just thought that his fellow countryman was dead, and wanted to test it out, but he didn't have much hope.

After all, in the army, I don't know how many people die every year. Once many people die, their things will be divided by others, and they can't even keep a piece of clothing.

But now that he got the emperor's personal promise, he didn't know what kind of breath he was out of, and his whole body became panting, and he looked very excited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you Taiwei, thank you Commander, thank you Marshal Wang, thank you Marshal Li... Thank you very much."

He thanked everyone he knew and didn't know, and heard the emperor say:
"You reminded me that I deserve credit for you, and you will also go to claim two acres of land in a while."

"If your fellow countryman dies, naturally he won't die in vain. If you still remember who shot him in the eye, go find it yourself in the prisoner-of-war camp. If you kill someone, you will pay with your life. It is the truth that nothing can be shaken."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhong Feng again: "If such a situation happens again, write it down first, write down everything about the name, birthplace, and write down an extra two taels of silver on each person's head, and then give it to their parents. If the parents are gone, then it will be given to the wife, if the wife does not have it, then it will be given to the relatives... Send a letter to the army and ask them to follow suit."

"All in all, if I want to reward him, he has to accept it, and let others accept it after he dies, otherwise my words will become fart."

Everyone knew that the emperor had good intentions, but when he spoke like this...it seemed unreasonable.

Fortunately, I am used to it.

Zhongfeng took away the grateful soldier, and within a day, the news spread among tens of thousands of people in Zhang Jun's department.

Even if you die, someone will still inherit what you earned, so don't worry about dying in vain.

Lu Zai has read a lot of books, he knows what the emperor learned, and he also knows the benefits of doing so.

But as a literati, he had to think more.

If the power of civil and military power is reversed...wouldn't the world be in chaos!

But then I thought that the emperor even killed the prime minister, maybe the civil and military affairs of the Song Kingdom had changed.

Forget it, to do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, whether he agrees or not, he has to admit that it is right for the emperor to do so now.

After the wind had gone away, Liu Bang opened his mouth and said:

"Following what I just said, why did it take so many days for Yang Yizhong to take Sizhou? How many people came out of Suzhou, can Zhao Mi be able to stop it in Lingbi?"

Li Xianzhong had just returned from Han Shizhong's side, so he was very clear about the situation along the road.

"Since Marshal Han took Huaiyin, whether it's Sizhou or Lingbi, including the Shouzhou I heard... the Jin people seem to have heard the wind, and they are all on guard."

"Sizhou City has been abandoned for ten years, but two months ago, the Kingdom of Jin suddenly moved a large number of people from Lingbihong County. It's like an empty city."

"And Suzhou...Suzhou didn't take any action."

After thinking for a while with his eyes closed, Liu Bang opened his eyes and said:

"Looking at the current situation, the opponent directly gave up the first line of defense."

Not to mention the Shang, Qin, Tang, and Deng Sizhous north of the Huaihe River, Huaiyin, Shouzhou, and Caizhou in the Huaihe River are clearly the closest places to the Huaihe River, and they should also be the first line for the Jin people to prevent the Northern Expedition.

But now, it's really too fast, and it's fine if the opponent doesn't have any precautions, but they have taken precautions again...

wrong……

He thought about it again, and always felt that something was not right.

Wanyan Wushu is a bit insolent at best, but it is definitely not mediocre.

Even if he fights and retreats, consuming Song's side, he has no reason to give up the front line completely.

Originally, he had already stayed in Shouzhou for 20 days. According to the plan, he was supposed to join Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi to take Suzhou. That was his hometown, and he always wanted to visit it.

But now that he had obtained this military situation, he immediately noticed something wrong after he had fought countless battles.

"Yingzhou."

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Guo Yaoshi yelled softly, and Liu Bang felt his mind suddenly brightened.

That's it!
Yingzhou is among the few of them, Liu Qi can be controlled in the west, and Zhang Jun can be defeated in the east.

This is simply a nail inserted here by Jin Guo!
If this place is not pulled out, the Jin army will go down the Yingshui River, and these places taken by that time will face the offensive of the Jin people again.

Moreover, the deeper the generals of the Huaihe River penetrated, the more likely they would cut off their retreat.

Originally wanted to take Bozhou and cut off the connection with Yingzhou in the north, and then Yingzhou surrendered without a fight.

Now it seems……

The opponent immediately regarded this place as the opening point of the first battle.

If you want to continue to go north, you must first take Yingzhou.

Here, is the key to the victory of the first game.

Just do what you say, no matter how hard Yingzhou is, now you have to take a bite.

Liu Bang stood up, and everyone followed, looking at the emperor nervously and expectantly.

Shouzhou was won too smoothly, and they stayed here for too long in order to wait for Yang Yizhong.

"Li Xianzhong, you bring 3 people to guard Shouzhou...the city is there and the people are there, even if the people are not in the city!"

"Zhang Taiwei and Wang De... I will take you to the west to have fun."

Zhang Jun wanted to take Yingzhou first, but now he heard the emperor say that, the first thing he thought of was that place.

Without even thinking about it, he agreed in one bite.

As he spoke, he directed Lu Zai again:
"Write to Liu Kai and tell him that I am waiting for him in Yingzhou."

Back then, Uncle Liu Xin made great achievements here, so he should be the No. 1 choice to break the city.

To receive the dirt of the country is to be the lord of the country;

Shou Guo is ominous, and he is the king of the world.

Since this place is the most difficult, it is natural that Lao Tzu will do it himself.

Liu Bang looked at the people who had already taken action, and this was the only thought in his mind.
