In the military camp, the tribute table has been set up. Wu Ling, Huang Hao, Wu Yuan, and Zheng Fanbei are all waiting eagerly. They all look at the gate of the military camp with anxious expressions.

The imperial edict has arrived outside the city and will soon arrive at the military camp.

When they got the news, they immediately went to notify Wang Yuan, but he never came.

"It's been an hour, why haven't the military advisors come yet? The father-in-law delivering the order is about to arrive!"

"It would be bad if you miss the decree and seal!"

"Tell me, what official title and title will the imperial court grant to the military advisor this time?"

"Shoot King Tu Nan, defeat the deserter's 100,000 cavalry, at least one marquis!"

All the generals were talking about it!

Suddenly a high-pitched voice came: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

A team of fast horses rushed into the military camp, led by the eunuch who delivered the order, and the palace guards looked solemn.

"I accept the decree!"

Wu Ling and his entourage were both happy and anxious, and immediately knelt down together, shouting "Long Live the Mountain" and completed the three-kowtow and nine-bow ceremony.

"By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict. The deserters went south and invaded the territory of Daye. Your soldiers sacrificed their lives and fought bravely to kill the enemy. They killed King Tu Nan, captured Agucha, annihilated 30,000 deserters heavy infantry, and killed 30,000

The desolate men and their cavalry captured 40,000 people, which is truly an unparalleled achievement."

"I am not stingy with rewards. Wu Ling served the country loyally, took the lead on the battlefield, and personally led the soldiers to destroy the wasteland. I am very relieved. I have granted Wu Ling the title of Marquis of Wu. It is hereditary. I have been promoted to the governor of Peking. I will arrange military affairs today and return to Kyoto to report on my duties.

!”

After reading this, the eunuch who delivered the edict paused, put away the edict and handed it over.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Wu Ling received the order, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he felt a little unhappy.

Generally, when edicts are passed on, whoever has made the greatest contribution will be first conveyed and consecrated first!

He actually sealed him first, not the military advisor first.

In the memorial, he wrote clearly that this great victory was all the result of a military strategist's clever plan.

If there is no military adviser to provide advice, even if he is given another hundred thousand troops, he may not be able to defeat King Tu Nan.

Why did the imperial court seal it like this?

"Young Marshal has been granted the title of Marquis!"

"For such a great contribution, I must be granted the title of Marquis!"

"Besides, this is not the first time that the young marshal has been granted the title of Marquis. When Mourinho was the Duke of Zhenguo, the young marshal at that time was granted the title of Marquis of Zhonglie!"

"After ennobling Mourinho, it's time to ennoble the military advisor. What will the military advisor be granted?"

"I must also be granted a title. Without military advisors, this war would never have been possible!"

"Yes, military advisors can also be granted the title of marquis!"

"But what should I do if the military advisor doesn't come?"

"We'll be waiting for you!"

The soldiers discussed it enthusiastically.

However, the eunuch who delivered the order took out three imperial edicts and read them out one after another: "The participating generals Huang Hao, Wu Yuan and Zheng went to the north. The city was destroyed and they fought to the death. I am very relieved. I specially appointed you and others as the commanders of Zhenbei. Zheng went to the north."

Remaining at Longtouguan, Huang Hao and Wu Yuan returned to Beijing to report on their duties!"

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

The three of them were happy and surprised. They frowned unconsciously and murmured in their hearts.

From staff general to commander, I have been promoted two levels at a time. It would be a lie to say that I am not happy!

But what made the three people uncomfortable was that they were granted the title of Young Marshal without being granted the title of Military Advisor first.

Could it be that the imperial court thought that the military advisor’s contribution was not as good as theirs, so he wanted to be sealed later!

But young marshal, all their records clearly stated their merits as military advisors, so why didn’t the imperial court grant him a title?

"What's going on? Even three generals have been sealed, but not the military advisor!"

"That's right. Based on his contribution as a military advisor, the young marshal believes that he should be the first to be crowned!"

"Maybe it's because the military advisor didn't come!"

"The father-in-law who delivered the order doesn't know the military advisor, so how could he know that he didn't come!"

"Let's take a look. Maybe the military advisor's contribution was too great, so the imperial court made an exception and put him last!"

The soldiers started talking!

The father-in-law continued to pass on the decree, after all the generals, big and small, were sealed and rewards were given to the soldiers!

The father-in-law who delivered the edict took out another imperial edict.

The soldiers are eagerly awaiting!

"I heard that the Longtou Pass was broken, and there were soldiers from Daye who were forced to surrender to the Huangren. According to the iron law of Daye, those who betray the country should die, and the nine tribes should be punished!"

All the descending troops are fighting in fear!

"Fortunately, Marquis Wu has interceded for you, and you have achieved meritorious service in the war. Therefore, I will express my special grace to pardon your sins, and temporarily stay in the army to serve. The general will arrange a time for you to be disarmed and return to your hometown."

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

All the surrendering soldiers burst into tears.

As expected, the military advisor did not lie to them, they won a great victory, and His Majesty pardoned them.

Putting away the imperial edict, the eunuch who delivered the edict clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Marquis Wu, for becoming a Marquis again!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Wu Ling frowned and said, "Has the message been conveyed yet?"

The father-in-law who passed the order reached out and said, "It's over."

boom!

Like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, the expressions of all the soldiers in the field changed drastically. The beaming faces suddenly turned expressionless, and no one was happy anymore.

Wu Ling clutched the imperial edict, with veins popping out on his fingers: "Three generals and I have written down the merits of the military advisor. Didn't the imperial court give the military advisor a title?"

"That boy Wang Yuan you are talking about!"

The father-in-law who delivered the decree was startled and came to his senses and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty originally wanted him to give him the secret method of forging weapons and grant him a ninth-rank official position. However, the Prime Minister Zuo led someone to give him the official position. As a result, your Majesty became angry and even the ninth-rank official was appointed to him.

Don’t block him!”

"What!"

Wu Ling, Huang Hao, Wu Yuan, and Zheng Fanbei who heard it nearby were stunned and trembling with anger.

For such a great achievement as a military advisor, His Majesty not only refused to grant him a title, but also took away the secret method of forging soldiers and only gave him a ninth-grade official position. Isn't this humiliating!

For a moment, everyone was speechless and their faces became gloomy!

Although the soldiers didn't know the details, they also knew that the military advisor had not been sealed, and they all held their breath in their chests.

The atmosphere in the venue became depressing.

The eunuchs who conveyed the order, and the guards in the army took a look and quickly led people to the county government office.

When the city was destroyed, Yan Xiuxi defended it and sealed it.

In the military camp, there was a lifeless atmosphere, and there was no joy at all about being promoted to a higher rank!

Soldiers, you look at me and I look at you, but no one knows what to say.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Shut up and talk about His Majesty without authorization. Do you want to die?"

"What should I tell the military advisor?"

"After such a great victory, why would the imperial court reward the military advisor?"

“We have lost all the benefits!”

"I am ashamed of my promotion!"

The entire army is in a depressed mood!

Zheng Fanei said: "This, how should we tell the military advisor?"

Wu Ling looked bitter: "The imperial court has no title. I am too embarrassed to see the military advisor. It was me who invited him to fight in this battle. In the end, I made Wuhou, and he... ugh!"

Wu Yuan clenched his fist and beat his chest: "My chest is so tight right now that I can't breathe out. I don't know what to tell the military advisor when I see them!"

"I don't know how to face the military advisor, but I have a way to vent my anger!"

Huang Hao gritted his teeth and joined forces with the county commanders in the city to intimidate Wang Yuan.
