Earl's grade is the fourth grade, and the third grade corresponds to the Marquis...
Seeing that there was no objection from the ministers, the emperor waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's draw up the decree..."
Leaving aside the reaction of the court, the other groups were also anxious when they heard that Cao Bin had made such a great contribution.
Since Cao Bin can beat [-] with [-], it proves that Xixia is no more than that.
If you don't take the credit from the sky, don't take it for nothing.
So they urged the army to advance bravely and diligently.
In the following half a month, Cao Bin even defeated Yinzhou, Xiazhou, and Yanzhou, almost winning every battle and winning every attack.
Bingfeng pointed directly at the gate of Xingqing Mansion, Lingzhou.
It's just that there's a lot of moisture in it.
Xixia's policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness has been issued. The food, grass and materials in these cities have been evacuated, and there are not many defenders.
It wasn't until then that Zhong Shiheng came to his senses, and couldn't help wiping off a cold sweat and said:
"Thanks to Marshal Cao, he didn't give up those food and grass, otherwise we would be in a dilemma if we don't have enough food and grass!"
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Zhong Dalang nodded and said:
"Father is right. It's been raining continuously for days. If there is no food and grass, we can only be trapped to death in Yanzhou."
Xixia is located in the northwest, with drought and little rain in previous years.
This year, for some reason, after Cao Bin captured Yanzhou, there was a sudden heavy rain and it was impossible to march.
Just then, the guard came to report:
"Deputy Marshal, Mr. Gong, Supervisor of the Hedong Army, please see me."
Zhong Shiheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak when Zhong Dalang stopped him quickly and said:
"Father, this person is Grand Master Pan's nephew, and has a very good relationship with Concubine Pan, please don't offend him."
Zhong Shiheng nodded with a smile and said:
"Don't worry Dalang, I'm waiting for Marshal Cao to protect me, so don't worry."
After a while, a handsome young man hurried in, cupped his hands and said:
"Deputy Commander Zhong, I am here to transport food and grass under the order of Commander Tong."
Zhong Shiheng frowned and said, "What does Supervisor Gong mean?"
Gong Jianjun said:
"You Yanyan army is under the control of our Hedong army. Now our army is short of food and the supply is not good, so I come to you to adjust the food."
Zhong Shiheng pondered: "This matter still needs Marshal Cao's approval."
That Supervisor Gong seemed to have suppressed it for a long time, and when he heard this, he couldn't bear the anger in his chest anymore:
"That guy Cao Bin has a heavy responsibility for the court, so he doesn't want to serve the country, but he sleeps at home."
"I waited for half an hour, but he actually avoided seeing him. What do you want to do?"
"I advise you to adjust my food immediately, if you dare to delay, I will impeach you..."
Before, when they heard that Cao Bin killed the general for meritorious service, he and Tong Guan were a little jealous. In order to march as soon as possible, they only brought less than a month's food and grass.
Unfortunately, not long after they entered Xixia, they got lost in Dijinze.
After finally getting out of the desert and rushing to Yuzhou, he didn't get half a grain of food, even he himself had been hungry for several days.
That bastard Cao Bin made him wait for half an hour without even giving him a stutter...
Seeing him threatening, Zhong Shiheng's face turned cold immediately:
"Ask for Marshal Cao's approval is a military system, how dare Chong be good at it?"
"If Mr. Gong wants to play, please do it yourself and see off the guests!"
Seeing that Zhong Shiheng was so shameless, Jianjun Gong's eyes flashed with anger, but he suppressed it immediately, squeezed out a smile and said:
"General Chong, please calm down for a while, how about listening to the good minister?"
After finally getting a dispatch from the imperial concubine's cousin, Gong Liangchen was unwilling to give up no matter what.
This is an excellent opportunity to be awarded for meritorious service and rise to the top.
Ever since he was humiliated by his uncle Pan Renmei last year, he has vowed in his heart to make a career and gain power over the world.
He had been frustrated by Cao Bin just now, if he couldn't convince Zhong Shiheng, he would have failed completely.
So I had to put it down for the time being.
Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng relaxed a little and said:
"Guardian Gong, please speak!"
Zhong Shiheng has a lot of taboos towards these royal relatives, if he can avoid offending them, he is not willing to offend them.
Gong Liangchen said:
"Actually, I have great admiration for General Zhong."
"Annihilating [-] Western Xia cavalry and capturing Hengshan King Wei Mingshanxi alive. Such feats are enviable."
Zhong Shiheng cupped his hands and said:
"Gong Jianjun is being polite, it's all planned by Marshal Cao."
Gong Liangchen shook his head with a smile and said:
"When I arrived in Yanzhou, I already knew the details of the Mizhi battle."
"So it's a kind of general that feels worthless."
Without waiting for Zhong Shiheng to intervene, he continued:
"Now the government and the public know that it is Cao Bin's feather fan and scarf that wiped out the Xixia iron cavalry, and all the great achievements are on him,"
"However, I know that the military affairs of the Yanyan Army have always been presided over by the general."
"Is General Zhong willing to let such a great achievement be stolen by a dude like Cao Bin?"
In fact, he didn't know the details of the battle, but after coming to Yanzhou, he got a general conclusion through observation.
Combined with Cao Bin's reputation in the past, he said this.
In his view, it doesn't matter what the real situation is.
As long as Zhong Shiheng feels unfair, he can achieve his goal by separating the two.
He didn't believe that Zhong Shiheng would be indifferent to such a great contribution.
Zhong Shiheng was a master at playing tricks. Hearing this, he immediately understood his intention and said with a sneer:
"Supervisor Gong is overthinking. The Battle of Mizhi was indeed planned by Marshal Cao, and Chong was just supporting him."
Not to mention that Cao Bin handed over the meritorious service memorials to the court, all of which he entrusted himself to draft.
Even if he didn't know any news, he wouldn't be fooled by Gong Liangchen's simple scheme.
Seeing Zhong Shiheng's attitude, Gong Liangchen was not disappointed, but continued:
"General Zhong needn't be afraid of Cao Bin's power in the court."
"This matter is up to you to decide for me, and I will let the court give you justice."
Then he added:
"I'm afraid the general doesn't know, Grand Master Pan is my uncle, and Imperial Concubine Pan is my cousin."
"As long as the general is willing, I will immediately report to impeach Cao Bin for the three crimes!"
"At that time, the Yanyan army will be presided over by the general, and they will go straight to the capital of Xixia, so why not worry about their achievements?"
After speaking, he waited with great anticipation for Zhong Shiheng's reply.
And he has another idea.
As long as Cao Bin's dude is gone, and he is transferred to the Fuyan Army Supervising Army, as long as he cooperates with Zhong Shiheng, he can also get a share of the great contribution to destroying the country.
Before Zhong Shiheng could speak, Zhong Er couldn't help but leaned forward, kicked Gong Liangchen down, and cursed angrily:
"Shameless villain, you have such a dirty mind, dare to frame Marshal Cao, I will kill you!"
Zhong Er was already domineering and had a violent temper. These days, he had already been convinced by Cao Bin's endless methods.
Hearing that Gong Liangchen planned to frame Cao Bin, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Gong Jianjun was almost kicked to death by Zhong Erlang, he screamed in pain and fell directly on his knees.
Seeing this, Zhong Shiheng quickly stopped Zhong Er, and then said:
"Please supervisor Gong to leave. Marshal Cao entrusted the military affairs because he trusted Zhong Xing, and it was also a kindness of knowledge."
"In terms of military merits, I didn't treat Chong's father and son badly. Supervisor Gong's provocation is an act of a villain!"
Hearing that the Zhong family and his son defined themselves as villains, Gong Liangchen felt extremely humiliated, and said cruelly in his eyes:
"Okay, Mr. Gong didn't expect you to be Cao Bin's raccoons, willing to be Cao Bin's eagle dogs."
With that said, he stood up staggeringly, clutching his chest and resolutely left.
His eyes were full of hatred.
After leaving Zhong Shiheng's Shuai Ya, he did not leave Yanzhou, but stationed there with a team of followers.
Youzhou is short of food and supplies, and even the people are only five hundred old, weak, sick and disabled. After returning, they are also starving.
It's better to wait for the court's response in Yanzhou. At least there is no shortage of food and drink here. As long as you have money, you can buy some daily meals.
In short, he has written impeachment memorials and letters sent to the capital.
Not to mention anything else, it is a great crime for Cao Bin to take his concubine to go to war and sit back and watch the Hedong army lack food...
Yanzhou government office.
Although this place seemed a bit crude to Cao Bin, it was considered the best residence in the city, so he regarded it as a handsome mansion.
Due to the continuous heavy rain, the army was at a standstill in Yanzhou, and the military affairs were handled in a worldly way, so Cao Bin naturally took time off.
In the lobby of Erya.
Hu Sanniang was wiping the Sun and Moon Swords boredly, when she saw Qiongying bringing in some Xixia beauties in coir raincoats, she couldn't help being curious:
"Who are these people?"
Qiongying said casually:
"Steward Xiangyun said that he would teach some dancers from Western Xia. Thank you Uncle Cao for your kindness."
Hu Sanniang curled her lips and said:
"This woman is the most unprincipled, I think she is just trying to please uncle..."
Qiongying ignored her complaints and asked:
"Is Uncle Cao up yet?"
Hu Sanniang gestured backwards and said:
"Buying Xiangyun to get hot water in, I'm afraid there will be another war! I'm afraid we won't be able to get up until noon."
Qiongying hesitated for a moment, and took a few steps towards the backyard. As expected, she heard the sound of fighting resounding through the backyard. She blushed suddenly, and said:
"Then I'll leave them to you..."
With that said, I was about to leave.
Hu Sanniang hurriedly stopped her and said: "Don't go, I'm bored, you can practice with me."
Qiongying didn't dare to be interested at all: "I'd better settle these people..."
At this moment, a little maid ran in and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, General Yang's daughter is visiting uncle, please inform me."
Seeing Qiongying leave in a hurry, Hu Sanniang had no choice but to run to knock on the door by herself.
