Call of the Deer

Chapter 408 Rewarding the ministers, five envoys

Taihang and Xuezhe are cleared, and the spring suburbs are still fresh in February!
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed since the battle in Yuzhou, and Bei Minghao also returned to Huangzhou with his victorious army.

Huangzhou, Yanhuang City, Promise Hall.

"Bailixi, how are you preparing for the alliance? How did the princes of Dongzhou respond? Have you responded?"

Bei Minghao looked at Bailixi, the imperial historian, and asked about it.

"This time, my lord, the princes from all walks of life are waiting and watching, and there is no clear answer. They seem to be looking at Li Shimin's intentions. There is a faint tendency to form an alliance to fight against us!"

Bailixi hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Form an alliance to fight against me? Hmph, a group of thieves and thieves probably heard that we wiped out the Qinglong Blood Guards in Yuzhou, so everyone felt insecure, huddled together, and tried to resist. A fool!"

Bei Minghao sneered, his mouth full of ridicule and disdain.

"While I'm not here, is there anything else going on in Dongzhou?"

"Reporting to my lord, during the period of your expedition, the King of Eastern Qin worked hard to govern, recruited talents, recruited Wen Zhong, Fan Li and other talents to help out, and even Liu Bei's generals Wang Yanzhang and Lu Wenlong were also recruited under his command!"

"Fan Li? The sage of merchants, Fan Li? This fellow has appeared. This is not good news."

"This language is not an easy generation. Adding Wang Yanzhang and Lu Wenlong together, Li Shimin's strength has greatly increased. He is indeed a centipede. He is dead but not stiff. It is not ordinary difficult to get rid of Li Shimin, a confidant. "

Hearing this, Bei Minghao was slightly surprised and embarrassed in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"My lord, what did you say?"

"Nothing, besides these, is there any other news?"

Seeing Baili Xi ask, Bei Minghao shook his head and continued to ask.

"Reporting to my lord, in addition, Dong Cheng of Cangzhou and Xiao Yan of Yongzhou are also in full swing in Mohe, like glue; Sun Quan has already taken Anzhou, and it has been used for two weeks."

"Lu Bu in Liuzhou owns part of the land in Liuzhou and Linzhou, and is also rapidly increasing his strength; Liu Yu in Suzhou is also secretly training the army; Chen Ba in Pingzhou has made great efforts to govern, and the power of Pingzhou has increased sharply"

Baili Xi told in detail all the information he had spied on in the past few days.

"Oh, it seems that everyone is having a bad time this New Year, hahaha."

"My dear friends, do you have anything else to report?"

"Reporting to the lord, my minister Cui Hao has a book to play. The talents recommended by the previous colleagues to the lord are all outstanding. Please use one or two of the lord."

"Oh, those people have outstanding abilities, you just need to say, the lonely king will definitely reuse them one by one!"

"Bao Zheng, he is good at judging cases and has excellent ability in criminal law, so he can be sent to Dali Temple; Jiang Wan is good at internal affairs, so he can be sent to Yuzhou."

"Xin Qiji and Su Shi are both talented. You can send one of them to be a sheriff. After a bit of training, with time, you will be able to stand on your own."

"Wei Zheng is a man with insight in his work. He has a straightforward personality and dares to speak out. He has been admonished many times. He has extraordinary abilities and can be listened to by his side."

"Ma Di and Ma Liang are both capable of writing and military, and they can be reused."

"Oh, what Cui Aiqing said is reasonable. If that's the case, then send someone to pass on these people, and the lonely king will personally appoint them!"

After a while, more than a dozen people recommended by Cui Hao arrived.

"Dear dear ministers, you have outstanding abilities. The lonely king sees them, so he intends to reuse you. I hope you will work hard in the future."

"Bao Zheng listened to the order and appointed you as the Minister of Dali Temple, in charge of all affairs of Dali Temple. There must be no mistakes. Surely you will not disappoint the lonely king?"

Bei Minghao stared at the charcoal-faced Bao Zheng solemnly, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, my lord, for your great love. I will do my best to share my worries with you."

"That's good!"

"Jiang Wan listened to the order, and made you the Secretary of the Si Nong Temple, in charge of food and grass. Wang Qing can take a lot of trouble."

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Wei Zheng listened to the order and made you the Minister of Honghe Temple."

"Su Shi, make you the governor of Heshan County"

"Xin Qiji, I make you the sheriff of Bibo County."

"Ma Liang, make you the governor of Shanyang County"

"Ma Di, I can make you the Lord of Iron Eagle City and guard the front line of Dashiguan. There must be no mistake."

"Wang Zhen, make you the young minister of Sinong Temple to assist Jiang Wan."

"Xu Guangqi, Xie Daoyun, Wen Tingyun listen to the letter, and I will make the three of you servants to assist Bailixi"

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity, and I will take orders!"

After issuing a series of orders, everyone was dismissed, leaving only six Shangshu, Shangshu Ling and eight imperial officials.

"Yang Hu, have other princes and envoys come to see you recently?"

"Reporting to my lord, envoys from Yongzhou, Cangzhou, Zhenzhou, Pingzhou, and Qinzhou have come to see you, but I let them stay here according to your request."

"Okay, you did a good job. Today, the lonely king will personally meet them to see what they are here for. You go and bring them to see me!"

"My servant Xuanling (Bao Zhao) (Wang Meng) (Li Ru) (Fan Zeng) pays homage to King Yanhuang!"

"Get up!"

"When you come here this time, what's the matter, you might as well just tell me!"

Bei Minghao sat on the throne, overlooking the five people standing below, and said indifferently.

"Reporting to King Yanhuang, the next time I came here, I came here for the alliance that the king said before."

Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, then Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said with cupped hands.

"Oh, about the alliance, I don't know what your master thinks, let's see!"

"Reporting to King Yanhuang, my lord is very happy to form an alliance, but I am worried that it will not be possible if we are alone and alone, so I will send you here to discuss it."

"Oh, alone and lonely? Discuss with the lonely? What's the negotiation method, let's hear it."

Hearing the words, Bei Minghao moved his body expressionlessly, leaned against the throne, and looked sideways at Fang Xuanling, but a sneer flickered in his eyes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my lord heard that Your Majesty has a special horse farm and has a lot of war horses in his hands. In order to better fight against the bandits, I hope to buy a war horse from Your Majesty to prepare for the big battle."

Fang Xuanling was not a fool, when he heard that Bei Minghao's tone had changed, his back turned cold, and when he remembered Li Shimin's entrustment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it.

"The lonely war horse? Hahaha, good, very good, tell me, where did your master know that the lonely king has a horse farm?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know about this"

Fang Xuanling was covered in cold sweat, and when she saw Bei Minghao laughing, she trembled even more, as if she was facing an abyss, like walking on thin ice, fearing that Bei Minghao would cut her off.

"What about you? Are you here for the horses too?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we are all here for war horses. For the sake of the overall situation, please be willing to part with us. As long as Your Majesty sells your war horses, our lord will definitely regard Your Majesty as our leader."

Wang Meng and the other four looked at each other, not sure what Bei Minghao meant, so they had to bite the bullet and say it.

Originally, Li Shimin was afraid that his own strength would not be enough for Bei Minghao to agree to sell the war horse, so he told the other princes about the war horse, and this joint pressure came about.

"Hahaha, what a good leader, if the lonely king refuses to agree, will he, Li Shimin, not make an alliance and stop sending troops? Huh?"

Hearing this, Bei Minghao's face became very ugly, he laughed angrily, stood up from the throne, flicked his sleeves, and stared coldly at the five people below.

"The king's words are serious"

Wang Meng lowered his head slightly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the bottom of his heart was sweating.

Several other people also lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Bei Minghao.

"Okay, the matter of the war horse can be discussed, but..."

"But what?"
