Seeing the terracotta warriors fall upright again, Meng Huo felt relieved.Like a timid thief, Meng Huo stepped closer to the terracotta warriors and kicked them twice. After confirming that the thoughts of the terracotta warriors were indeed silent, he waved his sleeves and put the terracotta warriors into the carrying space, along with the The seal of the prefect.

"Fortunately, the great shaman didn't come after him." Looking around and seeing no sign of anyone, Meng Huo headed towards Chiyang County.

Meng Huo didn't know that the Great Shaman was actually less than ten miles away from the Qiang king's tent. The Great Shaman could have arrived in just a few breaths from this ten miles distance, but now he couldn't. The Tian Chong Soul was swallowed up. Even though the Great Shaman was Man Xiu was a master of heaven, but he also suffered heavy losses.One of his three souls and seven souls is missing. He is lucky to survive.I saw the great shaman sitting cross-legged on the ground, wailing in pain from time to time, trying hard to control his rampant magic power.By the time he finally controlled the riot, a day and a night had passed. "Meng Huo, the heavenly soul is stored with you first, and the alien throne will make your soul fly away." On the border of Beidi County, the great shaman looked at Chiyang County from a distance, but he did not really set foot on the Central Plains.

"Central Plains, Han Dynasty, when your strength is exhausted, I will go back!" With these harsh words, the great shaman disappeared at the border.

Fuping County, Taishou Mansion.

In the prefect's meeting hall, Huangfu Song looked at his generals with a gloomy face and said: "Although we withstood the Qiang raid this time and even wiped out nearly two thousand Qiang people, we also suffered heavy losses. And the most important thing is that the Qiang people The most elite wolf cavalry army in the world still exists. If the wolf cavalry army goes south, I am afraid that the entire Beidi County will be destroyed. In this battle, several generals performed the most outstandingly and should be rewarded based on their merits."

Huangfusong sat in the main seat and summarized and analyzed the gains and losses of the battle. At the same time, he also wanted to reward the troops based on their merits.

"Yan Zhong, Guo Dian." Huangfu Song said.

"My subordinates are here!" Yan Zhong and Guo Dian came out.

Looking at the two veterans under his command, Huangfu Song nodded with great satisfaction. This time he was able to kill two thousand Qiang soldiers, and these two were indispensable. He had always wanted to promote these two, but they had no military merit, but This time their military exploits were enough for both of them to become tooth generals. Although they were the lowest generals in the imperial court, they were able to speed up their training. "With your two military merits, there is no problem in dividing the title of General of Ya. From now on, you two will be General of Ya, each commanding [-] soldiers. I will report to the court later, congratulations to both of you."

"Thank you, sir!" Guo Dian and Yan Zhong looked very excited and bowed to Huangfu Song to express their gratitude.

Huangfu Song ordered the two of them to step aside, and then looked at Meng Huo.

Following Huangfu Song's gaze, everyone focused their attention on Meng Huo.Everyone present was a hundred generals, but they knew that during this battle, Meng Huo's troops were nowhere to be found and did not participate in any battle.

"Xia Mou." Huangfu Song did not call Meng Huo directly, but called Xia Mou behind Meng Huo.

"My subordinate is here." Xia Mou bowed his head and walked out from behind Meng Huo.

Looking at Xia Mou, Huangfu Song asked: "Xia Mou, what kind of military position do you want."

"No need." Xia Mou's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone wanted to know why, but Huangfu Song didn't ask why. Instead, he said: "Your contribution is great, how can you not award it. I will make the decision and you should also be the Yamen general."

Xia Mou looked at Meng Huo, who nodded slightly. "Thank you, sir." Xia Mou bowed and retreated behind Meng Huo.

"Uncle, why?" Huangfu Li stood up and asked everyone's questions.They didn't understand why Xia Mou, a lieutenant general, suddenly became a Ya general and had a higher status than them.

Huangfu Song did not answer his nephew's question, but looked at Meng Huo. "Huainan, congratulations to you." Huangfu Song said politely to Meng Huo.

Meng Huo hurriedly sat down and said: "Huainan panicked, left Chiyang without permission, and failed to come back to rescue Fuping. This is already a serious crime."

"Compared to what you got back, those are nothing." Huangfu Song smiled and placed a seal on the table in front of him.

"This..." Everyone was surprised.

"Huainan, please help everyone clear up their doubts." Huangfu Song said.

"Yes!" Meng Huo then said, "Huainan was lucky. On the same day he found a small group of Qiang people, he left Chiyang to stop the attack. After killing the small group of Qiang people, when he returned, he found a group of Qiang people in embarrassment. He fled from the direction of Lingxian County. Huainan combined the power of the entire army to kill the man. When the man was dying, a seal flew from the sky, but it was of no avail. After killing the man, he used the seal to Xi brought it back."

Huangfu Chong also took over and said: "This is the seal of the prefect that belongs to the traitor Bian Zhang. Before Beigong Boyu escaped, he should have returned this seal to Bian Zhang, but Bian Zhang was unlucky and died in Huainan Subordinate. Bian Zhang collaborated with the enemy and treason. The imperial court had already issued an order to confer the same official position to those who killed Bian Zhang."

"Prefect?"

"Prefect!"

Everyone looked at Meng Huo with surprise and envy.If the imperial edict was followed, Meng Huo would become the prefect.

The prefect is the highest official in a county and the highest official position outside the imperial court.

The official positions held by the Han Dynasty from high to low were: prime minister, lieutenant, governor, prefect, and county magistrate.Needless to say, the prime minister, the lieutenants, and the governor are all in charge. The prime minister is in charge of all major affairs of the country. The lieutenants have made outstanding achievements and were named marquis. The governor is the highest official of a state.However, most of the governors were in the court and rarely went to the state.Under the governor is the prefect, who is the highest local official position. It is precisely because of this that the earliest heroes in the novel were born in the prefecture, and the princes of the eighteen towns who attacked Dong's thieves were all the prefects.

Therefore, when Meng Huo became the prefect, he naturally shocked and envied everyone.

Even so, Meng Huo still did not tell all his achievements.This was also Xia Mou's proposal to Meng Huo.If Meng Huo tells the story of Beigong Boyu's execution, he is afraid that not only will he not receive the reward he deserves, but his rapid rise will also lead to suspicion, and everything will be unfavorable.Moreover, Xia Mou had already told Meng Huo that even if Meng Huo handed over the seal of the prefect of Bian Zhang, he would not really be granted the title of prefect. The imperial court would not enfeoff such a newcomer, and even Huangfu Song would not let Meng Huo do this. General promotion.

Sure enough, Huangfu Song said: "It is impossible for the prefect to be the prefect. If he were called Meng Huo in the past, he might be the prefect, but now Shi Changshi is blocking the way and the government is in chaos. Moreover, Bian Zhang has been wanted for so long, and the seal of the prefect is still there If it can be used, it means that there are people in the court who are supporting him, and I am afraid that someone will hinder Meng Huo's promotion. So don't even think about the position of prefect."

"Is the imperial court going to break its promise?" Yan Zhong was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction.

"Be careful!" Huangfu Song drank Yan Zhong, then looked at Meng Huo and said, "Huainan."

"Yes."

"I will report it to the court, and all the merits will belong to you. But forget about the position of prefect, you can become a lieutenant colonel in the army. A colonel is second only to the prefect and has the command of the entire army. From now on, the entire Northland All the military affairs in the county are under your control!" Huangfu Song suggested.

Meng Huo was very satisfied. Although the prefect was good, he was one step away from the military position after all. However, the captain was different. He commanded the entire army of a county and could have close contact with the army. Meng Huo also lacked a direct legion. .

"It all depends on the governor," Meng Huo said quickly.

Huangfu Song nodded and said: "From today onwards, Huainan will leave all the Northern Army under your control, but it will take some effort."

Meng Huo said: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations. Huainan will wipe out the Qiang clan today!"

"Hahaha..." Huangfu Song laughed, thinking that Meng Huo was young and crazy and talking big words, but he didn't know that the Qiang people had already been wiped out. "Have a banquet!" Huangfu Song ordered.

Ten days later, the imperial edict was issued, and except for Huangfu Song, all the northern generals were rewarded.Meng Huo also fulfilled his wish and became the captain of the Northern Territory, taking charge of all the sergeants in the Northern Territory.

At the same time, Meng Huo also had a residence as a lieutenant.

In the captain's residence, Meng Huo frowned as he looked at his four subordinates, Xia Mou, Huangfu Li, Guo Dian, and Yan Zhong.A school captain can lead an army of ten thousand, but Beidi only has four tooth generals, which is two thousand sergeants.And so far, Xia Mou still has 100 people under his command, so the number of sergeants he can mobilize and command is only 600, which is too few.

"Yan Zhong." Meng Huo called.

"General." Yan Zhong responded.

"I have ordered you to recruit troops in the north and expand the number of sergeants to ten thousand!" Meng Huo ordered.

"Have the general and the prefect asked for instructions?" Yan Zhong asked hesitantly.

Meng Huo was a little puzzled and asked: "Am I not the highest commander in the army? Do I need to consult the prefect for instructions on this matter?"

"It's because the military pay is not available." Yan Zhong said.

Meng Huo was dumbfounded, then smiled and said: "What do you think it is? This general has wealth. It should not be difficult to raise ten thousand sergeants."

During the Qiang war, Meng Huo was not only promoted, but also made a fortune.

Almost all the property that Qiang King Beigong Boyu had looted from the North over the years had gone into Meng Huo's hands. As long as the military salary was not as high as that of the wolf cavalry, it would not be a problem to support [-] ordinary sergeants for a few years.

"General, what you said is true!" Yan Zhong was also impressed. Having a general canonized by the imperial court and independently recruit a specified number of sergeants is not only considered rebellion, but also counts as military merit.As long as there are enough people in the army, they will also be promoted to military positions.Meng Huo was the school captain. Under the school captain, there should be one captain of cavalry and one captain of chariot. There were also positions such as army commander, military commander, and cavalry supervisor. The tooth general was just the lowest level.

Meng Huo also saw Yan Zhong's intention, nodded and said: "Of course I take it seriously, but..."

"But what?" Everyone looked at Meng Huo nervously.

"This military salary is paid by me, and you spend my money to gain military honors. Do you think this is appropriate?" Meng Huo asked.

"This..." The generals were dumbfounded. Yes, Meng Huo paid for the military merit but it went to them. No one would do such a loss-making business.

"General, what do you want?" Yan Zhong asked. This veteran general was quite straightforward.

Meng Huo held out two fingers and said: "Two choices. First, treat the right as a deal. I will pay to help you recruit sergeants. After you obtain military merit, I will promote you to the corresponding military position, and you need Return my money. As for how the money came from, there are Wuhu in the north. You can command the army to rob it! Secondly, you don’t have a military position, but you can command the army. You must have thought of the conditions, and obey my orders unconditionally!"

"How to choose, you decide?" The new official has three priorities when he takes office. The first focus is on running the army.
