The Empire Era April 24, 999. Anyang Prefecture, Central and Southern Province of the Empire.

Xiahou Junjie looked at the tall and dark-skinned young man in front of him with a serious face. His slightly thin face was on his face, his eyebrows were raised like a knife, his eyes were sharp, and his thin lips always had a smile, which made people feel close to him.

Although Lei Dongfeng was still wearing a bandage at this moment, he was as straight as a pine and cypress standing wherever he stood. The black armor of Han soldiers made him full of energy. This was also the habit he developed in many years of martial arts and military service. Standing like a green pine, straight and straight, neither bent nor folded.

Even if Xiahou Junjie was dissatisfied with Lei Dongfeng in his heart, he had to secretly praise: What a soldier, what a Han soldier.

Xiahou Junjie looked at Lei Dongfeng, and Lei Dongfeng also patiently observed Xiahou Junjie: The burly middle-aged man in front of him, with a beautiful beard, looked very generous and open-minded. He is known as the tiger in Central and South China and the pillar of thunder. He is also an opponent who has been fighting with him for so long.

"Xiahou Legion, Dongfeng has been busy with military affairs and has only received a visit today. Please forgive me." Lei Dongfeng bowed and smiled.

"You are welcome to the Lei Army. You are a friend of the British Marquis. I heard that Xu Dao and the British Marquis gave you a word of no return, but this kind of glory is something we can't beat." Xiahou Junjie laughed and enthusiastically climbed Lei Dongfeng's arm, looking extremely generous.

"This man is really vicious." Jiang Zhuying, who was standing beside him, looked cold. Xiahou Junjie's words seemed to be polite, but in fact they were a satirizing that Lei Dongfeng could achieve such a success all depended on the help of others.

"This is Jiang's army? Is it good to have a good time? Lord Taishi and Lord Hou of England are very concerned about you." Xiahou Junjie seemed to see Jiang Zhuying's thoughts and asked again.

"It's not a big deal to worry about you. I wonder if the Xiahou clan leader knows the great commander of the commander, will he let you take over as the clan leader?" Jiang Zhuying said with a smile.

Lei Dongfeng of course also heard the meaning of Xiahou Junjie's words, but he was not angry and said lightly: "One person acts and ten thousand people help. This is the blessing of Dongfeng, not just the achievements of Dongfeng. However, a real man is clearly divided into grudges. If he gets the ambition of the sky in the future, he will definitely live up to the high expectations of you."

"This Lei Dongfeng seems rough and generous, but in fact he is meticulous, but he is both soft and hard in his words and should not be underestimated," Xue Jingxuan, who was standing by, sighed secretly when he heard this.

"Both are pillars of my empire, so there is no need to be so polite. Now the country is in trouble. We should work together to serve the country and the people." A young man standing beside him, standing tall and handsome, but his eyes are sharper, with a jade-like temperament, spoke casually.

This person is the eldest son of Zhuge Yuhua, the Imperial Privy Council. The Imperial Office Supervisor, the Imperial Secretary, the Inspector of the National Assembly, the National Assembly member, and the representative sent by the imperial capital this time, Zhuge Ting.

Seeing Lei Dongfeng and Xiahou Junjie faced Mai Mang, he hurried out to persuade him to make peace. After all, they were all imperial soldiers and should not be fused internally.

When Xiahou Junjie heard this, he was shocked and thought to himself that he had lost his composure. He also saw Xiahou Minde's hands and bones being broken. In addition, Cao Lan withdrew from the Benlei Army, which made him lose face and even lost thousands of elite soldiers out of thin air. What he had recently obtained may be the information that the Kuanglan Army pretended to be an enemy and made him worry that he could not attack the city. These new and old hatreds combined made Xiahou Junjie unable to help but speak out in an instant.

At this moment, he suddenly realized and immediately praised: "Young Master Zhuge said it well. Just now, Junjie was rude. It was because of some misunderstandings that he had come to this point. Today, he made a statement here. Only in the future, he should work with the Lei Army to serve the empire!"

Lei Dongfeng looked at Zhuge Ting and felt that the young man in front of him was indeed worthy of the title of the hero of the Empire. He was passionate and impressed. Xiahou Junjie was the commander of the army and was able to take on it so well, which made him feel even more moved. He also hurriedly praised: "But the Dongfeng is also fierce. Everyone is a soldier, and I am also a rough man. Please forgive me by Lord Zhuge and Lord Xiahou."

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to call me an adult, let alone such a fairy figure as Xu Dao, how dare you respect me? Let's call me Zijie." Zhuge Ting smiled and bowed to Xu Huanzong who was smiling and silently. At the same time, he nodded to everyone standing around, which made people feel as if they were in the spring breeze.

Although Xu Huanzong had no official position, he was extremely popular among the people in the empire. Even children from aristocratic families like Zhuge Ting and commanders of large legions like Xiahou Junjie had to bow to themselves as juniors, and would never dare to sarcastically sarcastically to Lei Dongfeng just now.

Although many soldiers do not believe in ghosts and gods, they respect the strong and wise, and Xu Huanzong is such a god.

Especially after the Western Allied Forces invaded, Xu Huanzong rejected Jose's invitation and personally led the Taishang Taoist Temple to fight against the Western Army. He was regarded as a hero by the four people of the Empire. In front of him, Zhuge Ting really dared not take himself as an official.

"Young Master Zhuge and I met in the imperial capital. I still have such an extraordinary demeanor when I saw you today. The Zhuge family has a successor." Xu Huanzong praised.

"Thank you Xu Daomiaozan. Today, I came here for the Lei Army. I think the Lei Army has received a letter from Feige, the imperial capital, and ordered you to assist General Xiahou in attacking Anyang Mansion. Now that the task is completed, I have several orders from the imperial capital, which are conveyed to you by Lei Army." Zhuge Ting smiled and turned to Lei Dongfeng.

"Sir, please speak." Lei Dongfeng nodded, thinking in his heart that if Zhuge Ting was placed in that time and space, he would also be a member of the National People's Congress. The level of a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection can be said to be a young man who was successful, but he had no airs. It was really rare.

"Ting came this time, first, to convey the appointments of the Military Department and the Office of the Ministry of Justice, but also to inform the Lei Army that the Empire's finances are in a tight position, and the military expenditure of the Kuanglan Army can only be temporarily raised by you. The military headquarters' orders are as follows: Here is Lei Dongfeng, the lieutenant and squadron leader of the First Cavalry Division of the Empire, who is brave and good at fighting. He is loyal and honorable. He has lost the invading Western gangs, so Gonglai, and specially promoted him to the commander of the Empire's Potian Legion and tentatively appointed the rank of colonel. The Kuanglan Legion is all classified as the official military of the Empire. I hope you will work hard in the future and serve the empire loyally. Zhuge Ting took out an order and recited it.

"Lei Legion, you can be said to be the fastest-promoted soldier in the history of the empire. Congratulations." After reading these, Zhuge Ting bowed.

"Col. Congratulations." Xiahou Junjie was in a great mood at this moment. No matter how powerful Lei Dongfeng is, he is just a colonel. The commander of the top ten legions of the empire and the president of Yanbei military was the rank of general. There were several levels apart. Last night, when Zhuge Ting arrived, he first met and reminded Zhuge Ting that Lei Dongfeng would not kill Als in front of the formation. Although Zhuge Ting did not make it clear, Xiahou Junjie believed that the seeds he planted would sprout sooner or later.

As for the information analysis, it might be that the Kuanglan Army pretended to be a Western Allied Cavalry and intimidated and deterred the Benlei Army from attacking Anyang Prefecture. Because there was no evidence, Xiahou Junjie dared not talk nonsense, otherwise it would only add to jokes.

"My elder brother works hard for the empire. These are all worthy of it, but he has only been given a reputation today, not to mention that he is just a colonel rank, and even the military expenses are not solved. The chief of the military headquarters is selling good favors!" After hearing this order, Li Yan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say.

"Who is this?" Zhuge Ting asked hurriedly.

"This is the commander of the Second Cavalry Division of my Kuanglan Army. Li Yan and Li Jingtao are my brothers." Lei Dongfeng said lightly.

To be honest, Lei Dongfeng really doesn't care about his military rank. As long as the Kuanglan Army can be recognized, as long as his brothers have formal military status and are no longer wanted criminals of the empire, he firmly believes that he will have a day when he is not despised, holding a strong soldier and helping each other with his brothers. He must consider it clearly if anyone wants to move. As for military expenditure, Lei Dongfeng has temporarily supported Liu Renze and Ling Jiyang in Sichuan and others, but there is nothing missing, but he does not stop Li Yan's words. Some things must be done by someone.

"Oh, it turns out that it was the Empire's God of Killing. It has been long and long, and General Li's divine power. It has made the Western Alliance frightened. It is really a blessing for the Empire to have such a brave general under the Lei Army." Zhuge Ting hurriedly bowed.

"That boy Guan Bowen is really becoming more and more stingy. The official and ministerial officials are also a group of corrupt people. He gives him a military rank, but he doesn't even have any medals rewards. He also expects people to work hard. He is crazy about being poor and afraid of his son. It's such a big joke!" A man wearing a bun and dressed as a Taoist priest walked in. It was the old Taoist Lin Qingping.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass the command center?" Xiahou Junjie shouted.

"Boy from the Xiahou family, even your clan leader would call me Taoist priest when he saw me, but you shouted loudly. What kind of morality is it?" Lin Qingping shouted.

"Don't get me wrong, this is Taoist Master Lin Qingping, the Baiyun Taoist Temple in the imperial capital. Mr. Zhuge, he is..." Xu Huanzong hurriedly came to Zhuge Ting's ear and said.

"It turns out that it is Taoist Lin, and he has been in a bad mood!" Zhuge Ting's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed.

When Xiahou Junjie saw this, he knew that this old Taoist must have a great background. Otherwise, Xu Huanzong would not have come forward to make peace, and Zhuge Ting's deepness would not have changed color easily.

Thinking of this, he turned his head angrily and stopped talking.

"I think Mr. Zhuge should have another order? Is it the one who enthroned us, General Xiahou, who has made outstanding achievements in this battle, so we must not be granted." What kind of person is that? The person who beats the dog who fell into the water!

Xiahou Junjie dared not speak anymore, but he would not let it go, and sneered.

"What do you mean, Master Lin!" Xiahou Junjie's expression remained unchanged, suppressing his anger.

"Okay, two, I also think it's inappropriate to the Lei Dongfeng Legion. After all, the Lei Legion has made contributions to the empire. Rewarding on merits should at least be the rank of generals. However, now the orders from the Military Department and the Office of the Ministry of Justice have been issued, but it is difficult to change them at will. When you have the opportunity, Ting will say bluntly and fight for what you deserve for the Lei Legion. As for the Xiahou Legion, it has also made contributions to the empire, and there should be rewards. The so-called clear distinction between rewards and punishments lies in this." Zhuge Ting said with a sigh.

As Zhuge Ting finished reading the order to reward Xiahou Junjie, the chaos came to an end, but both sides seemed to be unsatisfied with such a mixed result.

At least Xiahou Junjie was even more resentful towards Lei Dongfeng and others, but Zhuge Ting only persuaded him and did not express any specific expressions, which made Xiahou Junjie feel a little disappointed.

Only Lei Dongfeng had an indifferent smile on his face. When he returned to the camp, he immediately informed everyone of the empire's recognition of the military status of all the people from the Kuanglan Army, and ordered Zhang Ce and Lingyun Pavilion to register the entire army and report it to the military headquarters for filing in the future.
