10. Go home and farm

The counter-rebellion army returned to the court, with Fei Lian and Kong Xuan in front, followed by the remaining thirty or so imperial guards, and behind them were the exhausted soldiers.

Yin Pobai and the rest of the guards were equally tired, but the Overlord Step had been engraved in their hearts. This awkward walking style had become a habit.

So no matter how tired I am, I still look the same.

Unconventional.

Wherever this victorious army passed, many people couldn't help but cheer. Now everyone knows that King Zhou sent his commander Fei Lian to defeat the Beihai rebels, which not only protected the territory, but also won a hard-won victory.

The soldiers and civilians were all rejoicing.

"I have seen the great general...the great general, the princes and princes of all generations." Some people along the way fell to the ground and shouted loudly in the direction of Fei Lian.

"The great general and princes will live forever!"

Many people stared at Fei Lian with red eyes.

Fei Lian looked confused.

Kong Xuan smiled. He knew why the people were like this. It was naturally because King Zhou was wise and powerful.

Usually when the army changes commanders, not only will the generals go out to fight, but they will also bring supporting troops, as well as auxiliary troops, food, grass and baggage.

But this time when Fei Lian changed commanders, King Zhou only arranged for a close guard to accompany him, with no reinforcements, and no extra food, grass, and baggage. He also won the battle and returned it within a few months.

What else are the people unhappy about?

They were extremely grateful to King Zhou, and as the generals appointed by King Zhou, they were naturally popular.

Of course they didn't know that Zi Shou in the palace was so anxious for Fei Lian to lose the battle that he would not send any reinforcements. They just said that the king was aware of the people's sentiments and thought about the people.

The rumors in the palace have long spread to the people, and they are extremely mysterious.

It is said that King Zhou saw at a glance in the palace that General Fei had an awe-inspiring aura, with purple energy rising to the sky above his head. He was an unparalleled and famous general.

Now look at it, isn’t it?

This aquiline nose, at first glance, shows that he is wise and calculating, and his triangular eyes are shining like stars, and no one dares to look at him.

Looking at the short and skinny figure, he is clearly a famous general on the battlefield. Riding a horse with such a figure, during the confrontation between the two armies, due to its small size, it is not easy to be accidentally injured by stray arrows. If the enemy general is nine feet tall, he may be able to swipe him with a sword.

Sweep empty.

Even if he wears gold armor, he is not eye-catching enough. If the enemy wants to capture the thief, he will capture the king first, but he will not be able to find him.

What a gift!

The people respected him very much, from the bottom of their hearts.

Fei Lian began to doubt life, am I... so popular?

In fact, if the people knew that Fei Lian had put down the rebels that took fifteen years to defeat in the original version of Fengshen in just two or three months, they might even erect a monument in his honor.

The longer the war lasts, the heavier the burden on the people will be. Who doesn’t understand this?

Yin PoBai, who was holding the horse for Fei Lian, was moved by this scene. While holding the horse, he raised his head and said to Fei Lian: "General, the common people now respect the general and the king as if they are gods."

Fei Lian couldn't help but be beaming: "I see, but fame and fortune are just a burden. Please remember, the king offers a reward based on merit, and your own bodyguards are responsible for the first merit. You must not try to gain fame in the future."

Fei Lian said, waving to the people on the street.

At this time, an accident happened. Several Guard Overlords stepped out of the military column and bumped into a vendor with a clang.

But the cabbage vendor did not complain. Instead, he nervously helped Konoe up and said he wanted to give all the vegetables to the military master.

It has been several months since the great victory. Who doesn't know the loyalty and courage of the hundreds of emperor's guards?

In the rebel army, he built a city wall with his own life and protected his commander. Who would not admire such a brave and loyal man?

Even the seemingly domineering step becomes more and more comfortable.

They are heroes and they deserve it!

The army stopped, and Fei Lian and Kong Xuan led the main generals into the palace.

In the nine halls, Zishou has summoned hundreds of officials and has been waiting for the heroes for a long time.

Fei Lian and his generals hurriedly saluted: "I and others... have returned from suppressing the rebellion and met the king."

The voice was choked.

He had previously thought that he was the abandoned son of King Zhou who had expressed his determination to seize power. When he thought about it carefully, it was impossible.

King Zhou personally trained a total of three hundred imperial guards, one hundred of whom he sent to the battlefield. It was these loyal and brave people who saved his life.

His life is worthless, but what about these hundreds of guards?

King Zhou trained him all by himself. I heard that in order to train the guards, King Zhou didn't even have time to favor his concubines. How precious these guards must be!

Fei Lian secretly swore in his heart that although he was only a doctor, even if he was promoted to a general due to his merits in suppressing the rebellion, he would never take credit for his pride. He must be loyal to the great merchants. When Yin Shang is there, Fei Lian is here!

Zishou raised his hand, and all the generals stood up.

He looked at Fei Lian, who had darkened a lot, and at Kong Xuan, who had a beautiful face. He was in a daze for a moment, thinking of the mediocre value that was less than ten points that he had just calculated yesterday, and the corners of his eyes slipped unconsciously.

A tear.

What a great victory, except for some of the guards who died, none of the others were even missing arms or legs...

"Come on, our great hero...is back..." Zishou forced a smile and said through gritted teeth, but when he reached this point, he suddenly choked up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not..."

Fei Lian and others were frightened and at a loss as to why the king was so kind to us and worried about us so much.

The driver around Zi Shou was a cautious reminder that he was busy.

This means that Your Majesty, please be careful of your indecency.

Zi Shou hurriedly touched the corners of his eyes with his long sleeves, wishing that he could be considered stupid if he disobeyed the rules in front of the palace.

Zi Meng sighed inwardly and said: "It is gratifying to be congratulated for the great achievement of suppressing the rebellion. General Fei Lian personally commanded the Tiger and Ben troops and fought fiercely with the rebels in Beihai. Hundreds of guards bravely defended the country. They shouldered the country's favor and were loyal and courageous.

Reward!"

When Zishou said this, he loudly said: "General Fei Lian led his army to attack the Turks in the north and defeated the Beihai rebels. The guards fought bravely and refused to retreat. I am so relieved that you have made immortal contributions. I am alone."

Fortunately, the people are very fortunate, and the country is very fortunate. From now on, the general Fei Lian is made the Beihai Bo to command the three armies of the Beihai. His deputy general Kong Xuan is made the commander-in-chief of the Beihai army. He also gives a million gold reward to the entire army and the first personal guard.

, I will be given the gift of relief and return to the fields to support my family."

All civil servants and generals were surprised.

What does it mean?

The rewards are not generous. A count and a general are equivalent to a high official in power and a general sent abroad. However, Fei Lian and Kong Xuan deserve it based on their merits.

One million gold is not really one million, it is a general term, and it is also within the normal reward.

But disarm and return to work?

What does this mean?

The elite soldiers who have just won the battle and the emperor's guards who have done the most outstanding work are allowed to go home and farm?

Suddenly, the civil and military ministers started talking one after another.

There doesn’t seem to be much objection?

Zishou nodded with satisfaction, he had prepared all these rewards.

The Beihai Rebellion had just ended, and the population was small. It was a remote place, and it was impossible for Mr. Kong Xuan to cause trouble again.

It is definitely a foolish move to let the guards go home to farm. In all dynasties, how could there be any reason to let the victorious troops disarm and return to the fields?

This group of veterans are in their prime, with meritorious deeds, monetary rewards, no worries about food and drink, and strong military skills. They have mastered the Bawang step and experienced the war. They have completed the last step of mentality change. The next step is not to bully the weak.

?

Sooner or later there will be complaints.

Although such guards are the best losers, for the sake of the great cause of the emperor, it is better to let them return home.
