The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 21
After Wang Yanzhang ordered the entire army to retreat, the remaining soldiers of the Liang army who had not escaped and were still fighting also retreated. After most of the Liang army retreated, the victory of the Jin army came.

The result of the battle was a foregone conclusion, the Liang army was defeated and the Jin army was victorious.Li Keyong ordered all the troops to enter Luzhou City for rectification, and Luzhou City also began to arrange manpower to appease the people, post the Anmin Announcement, clean up the battlefield, and deal with trivial matters, and the city wall began to be reinforced.A group of soldiers and civilians in Luzhou worked on the fortifications in full swing, repairing the city walls damaged by Liang Jun's siege vehicles and other siege equipment one by one, moving towards the desire to rebuild Luzhou.

The soldiers and civilians in Luzhou City seemed to be dreamlike. After all, the victory came so suddenly. They were already surrounded and helpless. They didn't expect Jin Wang Li Keyong to defeat Liang Jun in the next moment.

Li Keyong ordered his army to enter Luzhou for repairs, and Li Cunxu's Fengyi army also entered the city.

Before Li Cunxu settled down with his subordinates, Li Cunren came to his Fengyi Army barracks to look for him in person.

"Congratulations to the second brother for his great achievements!" Although Li Cunren still wore a mask on his face and his attitude was cold, there was a hint of joy in his tone.

"Where is it? It's just good luck." Speaking of which, Li Cunxu's luck is really good, with Wang Jian and this group of smart and capable subordinates.

Li Cunren said lightly: "It can't just be said that luck is good. Some people, no matter how lucky they are, it is impossible to break through Zezhou so quickly, aid Luzhou battlefield, and make great achievements. Unparalleled miracles."

"Little sister is absurd. By the way, the younger sister is not just here to congratulate, is she?" Li Cunxu felt a little ashamed.

Hearing this, Li Cunren nodded, and said: "The adoptive father told you to go to the Governor's Mansion, and the foster father will award meritorious ministers in the Luzhou Governor's Mansion."

"Well." Li Cunxu was a little surprised. Generally speaking, post-war rewards are awarded to officials who have made meritorious service after returning to Taiyuan, but Li Keyong is the king of Jin. Have you roughly awarded the generals?"

Hearing this, Li Cunxu had a faint smile on his eyebrows, as if he had seen through Li Cunxu's little thoughts.

It seems that my second brother wants to know what reward I have.

Li Cunren said in a casual tone: "Well, I don't know the specifics, but the second brother has made extraordinary achievements, and he will definitely be rewarded."

Li Cunxu was also a little happy when he heard this, after all, who would be unhappy if you have meritorious service?Besides, I am not only alone now, but there is also a Fengyi army behind me. Whether I am rewarded or punished by myself is related to the interests of many people. The more rewards I get, the more rewards my subordinates will get.

Just like Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe in history, although most of Zhao Kuangyin wanted to be emperor himself, but the reason why he was able to successfully carry out the Chenqiao Mutiny and the yellow robe was not pushed by his subordinates?

All in all, Li Cunxu is not alone now, he wants to seek some benefits for his subordinates.If you don't give anything good, why should people follow you?
After thinking for a moment, Li Cunxu asked again: "Little sister, I wonder how the elder brother did in this battle? What kind of reward did you receive?"

Li Cunren said: "Brother and Shi Jiantang kept harassing and attacking the enemy in front of the Liang army, and set fire to many enemy siege vehicles and catapults. In addition, he has made great achievements in defeating the enemy on the battlefield. The foster father should be rewarded for his affection and reason. .”

Li Cunxu also felt a little heavy when he heard this. Now Li Siyuan was originally the Holy Master of the Tongwen Museum, and his prestige was at the peak of the sky. In addition, this military exploit was not small, and he might have even more prestige in the Jin Dynasty.

……

Luzhou governor's mansion, all the generals gathered.

After many days, Li Cunxu finally met Jin Wang Li Keyong.In fact, Li Cunxu has been stationed in Luzhou for a day, but he has never seen Li Keyong, nor has he received a summons from Li Keyong.With this attitude, Li Cunxu couldn't help but think of an old saying: People's hearts are unpredictable.

But fortunately, since Li Keyong wants to award a lot of rewards, it is impossible not to summon Li Cunxu.

Standing beside Li Keyong was Li Cunren, still wearing a mask, with cold eyes.However, Li Cunxu saw a hint from her eyes that King Jin might be dissatisfied with him.

Li Keyong was already old, his hair and beard were all gray, but his eyes were piercing, like a tiger preying on him.There are many wrinkles on his face, and he wears a blindfold on his right eye, but his facial features are very regular, like an old one-eyed dragon.

It can be seen that Li Keyong must have been a fierce general or a martial arts master when he was young, but now he looks like an old man sitting in a wheelchair.

But Li Cunxu will not be fooled by his appearance.Li Keyong seems to be old, but in fact, the most holy Qiankun kungfu has reached the stage of transformation, and he may have broken through the great heaven!

It seems that such an evaluation should not be said by a son to his father, but Li Cunxu did not feel the slightest affection between father and son in Li Keyong, and he felt no burden in his heart.

In addition to Li Cunxu, there were many generals present, such as Zhou Dewei, Shi Jiantang and so on.But now Li Cunxu doesn't know anyone, so he can only look at his own eyes and nose and heart.

After a long time, the silence was finally broken by Li Keyong. He glanced at everyone and said, "Zhu and Wen have made a big attack this time, trying to take Luzhou from me. It is up to you all to fight hard and protect me so that we can keep Luzhou safe." .”

All the generals replied one after another: "Going back to the King of Jin, this is all the job of the last general."

"En!" Li Keyong nodded, and then said: "Zhu Wen's rebels' intention to take our Sanjin is clearly revealed. This time you sent troops to Luzhou and defended against the enemy in Luzhou, which can be called a great achievement! I will reward both of you, both emotionally and rationally.”

"I dare not wait." Everyone praised quickly.

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done wrong, you will be punished. This king has always been a person who distinguishes between rewards and punishments. Zhou Dewei, you have merit in commanding the army... Shi Jiantang, although you have merit in raiding the rear of the Liang army, you will be rewarded with gold..."

Li Keyong began to reward all the generals, rewarding those who made meritorious deeds, and punishing those who made mistakes.But everything that should be mentioned is mentioned, except Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan are not mentioned.

At this time, one of the generals under his command said, "To the King of Jin, General Li Siyuan and Li contributed a lot to our defeat of the Liang army this time... First, our troops encountered Wang Yanzhang, lost troops and fell into heavy siege by the Luzhou Liang army. If not General Li repeatedly broke the siege, I am afraid that we have exhausted our troops long ago, and the whole army was wiped out. After that, General Li unexpectedly burned the Liang army's siege equipment, which slowed down the rhythm of the Liang army's attack on Luzhou... Liang's army has many generals and is extremely brave. If it weren't for General Li leading his men to catch him by surprise, our army would not have won so quickly..."

At this time, Li Siyuan rolled his eyes, bowed his head and clasped his fists, and said, "Father, the ability to defeat the Liang army this time depends entirely on my father to lead the army to fight, and to plan a strategy to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away! Nothing my son can do It’s all about obeying the military order, and I dare not take credit for it!”

Li Keyong glanced at Li Siyuan, wondering what was going on in his heart, and said lightly: "Well... Boss, you don't have to be modest, meritorious service is meritorious service, since meritorious service should be rewarded!"

Li Siyuan had his head down, but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said he didn't dare.

"Boss, you don't need to belittle yourself." Li Ke said in an unquestionable tone: "The commander of Hengchong, Li Siyuan, listened to the order. You have made great contributions to defeating the enemy. The current Li Siyuan is the governor of Daizhou, and he is also appointed as the Jiedu envoy of the Zhaode Army..."

Li Siyuan was very happy after hearing this, although the military officer is now in power and the governor of a state does not have any real power, but this is also a manifestation of status.Now the best honor for a military officer is to build a festival, that is, to be named a Jiedushi.As for the governor, he only received a salary from a distance, and it has become a kind of added official, but Li Keyong rewarded him with both, which shows that Li Siyuan is very honored.

"My son is very grateful to my adoptive father. In the future, I will go through fire and water for my adoptive father. I will do my best to live up to my foster father's kindness."

"En." Li Keyong was still lukewarm, turned to Li Siyuan and said, "Second brother, what do you want?"

"The child dare not, what the father rewards, what the son wants." Li Cunxu is determined to hide his clumsiness, but he believes that Li Keyong should not be too harsh on himself, after all, he has made great contributions.

"Second brother, you are sixteen this year!"

Li Cunxu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Go back to my father, that's right."

When Li Keyong heard Li Cunxu's answer, he suddenly chuckled, and said, "As expected of me, Li Keyong's son, he can take care of his father at the age of [-]. Cunxu, you are young but talented. If you reward me Too many honors and honors will overwhelm your talent. When the late emperor was alive, he once commented on you as "this son has a wonderful appearance, but he is like his father", so as a father, he will give you a "like son", and I hope you will add more in the future. diligent."

The allusion of "Keya his father" is something that happened to Li Cunxu earlier. In Li Cunxu's memory, he was once evaluated by Li Ye, Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, as "this son can be his father", which means Li Cunxu's Talent will surpass his father, making his father the runner-up.

Li Cunxu was a little puzzled and stunned, and Li Cunxu was even more surprised by the meaning of Li Keyong's words.

Isn't it unfair to only give the table and not give some substantive rewards?
In all fairness, Li Cunxu contributed a lot to this battle, but he did not expect such a result in the end.Li Cunxu was still puzzled, and secretly glanced at Li Keyong with a calm expression, am I not his biological son?As for being so mean to your own son?
But no matter how mean Li Keyong is, Li Cunxu has to speak out, not for himself, but for his subordinates.

"Father, my son dares to reward you!"

"Oh?" Li Ke's tone remained calm.

"I have merits and demerits, and there is no merit to be rewarded, but the warriors under my command have made great contributions in this war against Liang. If I don't reward them, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of our soldiers in the Jin army. Therefore, I dare to reward you." .”

Li Keyong suddenly laughed again when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, as for how to reward, you can decide for yourself!"

"Thank you father!"

After Li Keyong approved Li Cunxu's request, he finally said: "This king will still practice in seclusion after returning to Taiyuan. Boss!"

"The baby is here." Li Siyuan hurried forward.

"During my absence, you can do things cheaply about the affairs of Jin."

"Thank you foster father!" Li Siyuan was overjoyed in his heart, but the old Jianghu couldn't express his emotions, and his expression was still flat.

"Second child."

"My son is here!"

"Luzhou has just gone through a war, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt. You don't want to go back to Taiyuan. You are ordered to be the governor of Luzhou and rebuild Luzhou."

Li Cunxu's face darkened, this is the center of power that transferred him away from the state of Jin!Is it because I just annoyed him by asking for rewards?
Although Li Cunxu kept guessing in his mind, he learned a hand from Li Siyuan, his emotions and anger were invisible, and there was no trace on his face.

"Thank you father!"
