This person was none other than Qi Yi, who was sent to Long'an Mansion by Emperor Jingyuan as a fellow scholar.

Qi Yi had never met Qin Sanlang, but since he knew that he was Gu Jinli's husband and heard that he was brave and good at fighting and beheaded Le Muqin, he had a good impression of him even before they met and wanted to meet him. .

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

"Open the gates of the camp to welcome you all!"

The Daokougou Camp was filled with drum music. Xu You led more than a hundred households of military attachés and soldiers with third-level or higher military exploits, more than two thousand people, to come out to welcome the conferment procession from the capital.

These soldiers had all been on the battlefield and seen blood. They were all full of murderous intent, which scared the adults from the capital.

However, the canonization team that came this time also included several ministers, including Dr. Yushitai, Minister Xu of the Ministry of War, Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Industry, as well as Ningbo Mansion, Fengbo Mansion, Shen Family, Fang Family, Zheng Family and other senior officials in the capital. The people in the Zhi family have seen big scenes and are relatively stable.

Among them, Mr. Xin of Yushitai is the newly appointed supervisor of the army by Emperor Jingyuan. He will be stationed at the Daokougou camp in the future and perform the duties of supervisor of the army.

The person who came to the Ningbo Mansion was the eldest grandson. This time he brought the Ning family's new seven-shot repeating crossbow. It is the crossbow with the most consecutive arrows in Dachu at present. This kind of crossbow weighs less than twenty kilograms and only requires one soldier. It can shoot arrows with a long range and excellent accuracy.

After Emperor Jingyuan saw the power of this kind of crossbow, he was impressed by the Ning family again and gave the Ning family the opportunity to come to Daokougou camp to forge seven-shot repeating crossbows and teach soldiers how to use seven-shot repeating crossbows.

If the seven-shot repeating crossbow can achieve great success in the battle to regain the city in the future, the Ning family's title will probably be upgraded to another level.

Such important matters related to the future of the whole family should have been handled by the prince of the uncle's house, but old uncle Ning felt that the prince was already his grandfather, and he was a bit old. Even if he was given a chance to make meritorious deeds, he would not be able to do much. Nian Quan gritted his teeth and recommended the eldest son of the Ning family to Emperor Jingyuan.

If the eldest son of the Ning family does well, the Ning family will be rich for more than three generations!

From the Cao family of Fengbo Mansion came the serious head of the family, Uncle Cao.

The Cao family was one of the great grain officials of the previous dynasty. Their family had countless acres of land. They had the secret method of farming and the ability to level the warehouse. When Emperor Jingwu was in need of food in the world, the Cao family donated food and used the ability to level the warehouse to control the world. The sharp decline and sharp increase in grain prices in various places stabilized the world's grain prices, which greatly helped Emperor Jingwu.

After the establishment of Da Chu, he was granted the title of earl, and even the title "Feng" with the word "Feng" for a good harvest.

Now that Emperor Jingyuan sent the Cao family here, it can be seen that he was very worried about the shortage of food and grass, and wanted the Cao family to find ways to solve the problem of food shortage in the army and among the people.

As for the Shen family, they are just a bunch of people who came to offer medicine.

Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Industry brought the great craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to build offensive and defensive buildings.

If there is a long-term confrontation with the Rong bandits in Daokou Valley, all the offensive and defensive fortifications that need to be built must be built, so that if they fight again in the future, they will have a better chance of winning.

"Your Majesty, Xu You, welcome your Majesty's envoys and all of you sirs!" Xu You led the soldiers to salute together. The soldiers repeated his words in a loud voice, so loud that it could overturn the sky.

The adults from the capital were startled again... Xu You really got up. His posture was like a hidden dragon roaring. Even if it hadn't reached the sky, it had the potential to shock the world.

In order to destroy the Rong, Emperor Jingyuan raised such a fierce general, and he may not be able to end it in the future.

Doctor Xin, the doctor at Yushitai and the supervisor of Daokougou camp, was quite calm. He looked at Xu You and said, "Xu You accepts the order!"

These four words made Xu You, who was roaring like a dragon, kneel down: "Your Majesty, I respectfully listen to your Majesty's will!"

The military attachés and soldiers behind him also knelt down. More than two thousand people knelt down in unison, causing dust to fly. Fortunately, Mr. Xin had seen the world. If it were any other civil servant, he would probably be so scared that his legs would weaken.

Doctor Xin took the imperial edict presented by the clerk of the Ministry of Rites, unfolded it, and read it loudly... The main idea of ​​the imperial edict was to praise Xu You a lot, and then canonize him as a loyal Marquis of Chu, regardless of the world's affairs!

Xu You had long received news from the capital that he had to be granted the title of Marquis, but when he heard the words "Zhong Chuhou" with his own ears, he still couldn't help clenching his fists... Damn Emperor Jingyuan, is this a canonization? Is he doing it for the Marquis or is he slapping him in the face? !

What makes Xu You even more angry is that Emperor Jingyuan only canonized him as a loyal Chuhou, but did not actually promote him to a commander-in-chief who resisted the army.

Who does Emperor Jingyuan want to leave this handsome position to? Cheng Chong?

Oh, but did Emperor Jingyuan really think that Cheng Chong could soar into the sky as his name suggests?

Although Cheng Chong was loyal to Da Chu and had good abilities and good intentions, there were not many capable people under Cheng Chong, and the forces in both the light and dark areas were not as good as his. Without strong support, how could Cheng Chong compete with him to grab the northwest? !

Xu You was angry for a while, but soon he didn't bother to be angry with General Cheng. With a smile of shock and joy on his face, he took two steps with his knees choked with sobs, kowtowed three times, and shouted: "My lord, thank you for your kindness!"

Xu You accepted the imperial edict respectfully.

After he received the order, the adults in the canonization team were relieved.

As long as Xu You doesn't get angry, after all, everyone is not stupid and they all know Emperor Jingyuan's intention of conferring him the title of Loyal Chuhou.

Master Xin also said: "Congratulations to Mr. Xu, the Xu family will be the noble family of marquises in the world from now on."

only……

"His Majesty has granted the Zhongchu Marquis Mansion in the capital. Mr. Xu has to guard Daokou Gou and cannot return to the capital to express his gratitude. He needs to send his family to the Marquis Mansion in the capital as soon as possible to hold a wedding banquet."

To put it bluntly, the Xu family is asking the Xu family to send hostages to Beijing to prevent Xu You from supporting his own troops and threatening himself with hostages.

This is the rule of the past dynasties. Xu You must abide by it. He responded: "Master Xin is right. I will send someone to send a message to my wife at home tonight, and ask her to take her eldest son to the Marquis Mansion in the capital to thank Your Majesty for your honor." kindness."

Xu You's first wife was married just to climb up the social ladder. His true love was Xu Liu's biological mother, so it was not pleasant at all to send his first wife and his eldest son to Beijing as hostages.

At this moment, Xu Liu did not come out to receive the order. Xu You did not let him come out and locked him up, asking him to avoid him for a while. This shows that he really loves his son.

Next, Master Xin read out another imperial edict, which was to confer General Cheng as the second-grade Zhenxi General, and also put him in charge of the left army of Daokougou Camp.

The Daokougou camp is divided into five armies. The left army is not weak and has 50,000 people. This attack can be regarded as cutting off one of Xu You's arms.

After Xu You heard the imperial edict, he tried his best to suppress the urge to kill Emperor Jing Yuan... What a great Emperor Jing Yuan, he had gone through so much trouble to drive the thieves to Daokou Gou, but now that the war had calmed down, he attacked him. What a cold-blooded and shameless person!

That's right, Emperor Jingyuan could kill even Wei Guogong and his family at will, so who did Xu You mean to him?

So Emperor Jingyuan, don't blame him for having second thoughts. His second thoughts are all about self-protection. After all, the bloody lessons of Wei Guogong's family are still before him, and he doesn't want the Xu family to make the same mistakes as Wei Guogong's family.

General Cheng had also received the news that he was going to be promoted a long time ago, but he did not expect that the emperor would ask Mr. Xin to read out the imperial edict at this moment, humiliate Xu You in public, and roast him on the fire.

But now that the matter has come to this, he can only smile bitterly in his heart and say loudly: "Master, accept the order!"
