The emperor rewarded the Flying Eagle Army and caused a sensation in the capital. Not only did Zhang Xutuo be appointed as the pillar country, the General of the Right Martial Guard and the Duke of Licheng County, but Zhang Xutuo's subordinates also received remarkable rewards.

Zhang Xuan was granted the title of General Hu Ben, Marquis of Qinghe County, Qin Qiong was promoted to General Xiongwu, Luo Shixin was promoted to General Wu Yong, and was also granted the title of General Guerrilla. Zhang Xuan's subordinates Yuchi Gong, Pei Xingyan and others were all granted the title of General Wu Yong, and even Qin Yong was promoted to Captain.

Yang Guang also rewarded the Flying Eagle Army with 30,000 taels of gold, 100,000 pieces of silk, and 10,000 hectares of fertile land. This was a reward he had never had before since he ascended the throne. His intention was also very obvious. He encouraged the enthusiasm of other armies to suppress bandits by rewarding the Flying Eagle Army.

With a large reward, the second edict issued by Emperor Yang Guang was not very noticeable. He promoted Pei Renji to the position of Qi County, replaced Zhang Xutuo, and transferred Wang Shichong to the position of Qinghe County. This is also a common saying. People often only see the dazzling side of the glamor, but do not pay attention to the shadow hidden under the dazzling glamor: Zhang Xutuo lost his military power after being rewarded.

In an elegant room in the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, several powerful children of the imperial court were gathered together to drink and have fun. They each hugged a beautiful lady, drinking flower wine, and chatting about the major events that had happened in the court in the past two days. The people who were highly rewarded by the Feiying Army became their main topic.

"Zhiji, you are also a general of Hu Ben. Why do I think you, the general of Hu Ben, are less than that of Zhang Xuan?" Yu Shiji's stepson Xiahou Yan teased Yuwen Zhiji with the intention of drinking.

Yuwen Zhiji was a little angry and angrily. He slapped the wine glass on the table, glaring at Xiahou Yan and said, "What is my identity of Yuwen Zhiji, what is that Zhang Xuan? You actually compare him with me. Are you humiliating me?"

Xiahou Yan also said angrily: "Why are you yelling at me? If you have the ability, go and kill that Zhang Xuan with one knife. I'm afraid that one hundred of you are no match for you!"

"you"

Yuwen Zhiji was furious and threw the wine glass to the ground, jumped up and beat Xiahou Yan. People around him tried to fight. Yuanmin and Yuanjun took the opportunity to carry Yuwen Zhiji to the small room next to him.

Yuan Jun went back to get the wine pot and wine glass, and closed the door. Yuwen Zhiji calmed down a little, sat down and said angrily: "That guy Xiahou didn't like me recently, so why did I mess with him again?"

Yuan Jun quickly advised: "Zhiji, don't be angry. Xiahou just said that Zhang Xuan can't compete with you, and he never despises you?"

"Hmph! Don't think I can't understand this bastard's words. Didn't he just say that Zhang Xuan has more titles than me? What's so great about it? How can he compare his shitty credit with my father?"

Yuwen Zhiji was really annoyed. Recently, everyone was talking about the Flying Eagle Army, saying that Zhang Xuan was very skilled in martial arts. He was extremely jealous. Even Xiahou Duan dared to ridicule him. He was angry. He grabbed the wine pot and drank a few mouthfuls, gritted his teeth and said, "I will show him someday!"

Of course, Yuanmin and Yuanjun and Yuwen Zhiji and other powerful children had a purpose. Yuanmin saw Yuwen Zhiji's dissatisfaction, and the two of them shook each other, and they knew it was time.

Yuan Min sighed and said, "The emperor has been a bit chaotic recently. He does not follow the rules, and his title has always been passed down from generation to generation. Only when the ancestors made unparalleled achievements in the founding of the country and dynasty can they be obtained. Now, the bandits can be even awarded the title. Those bandits are just mobs. What is worth showing off when they defeat them? If this continues, the pawns and peddlers will also be awarded the title of marquis and dukes."

Yuan Jun also said, "Zhiji. Go and tell your father that Zhang Xuan has been promoted too quickly. If he continues like this, he will be promoted to general in a few years. Then he will be the first to retaliate against your Yuwen family. Have you forgotten the Tiansi Pavilion case last year?"

This sentence touched Yuwen Zhiji's heart disease. He sighed and said, "Of course my father wants to deal with him, but unfortunately he can't find his handle for the moment."

Yuan Min narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Actually, who has no handle? As long as you collect it with snacks, you will definitely find it. For example, Zhang Xuan and Wu Yunzhao competed with each other. It is hard to say that there is no friendship between them in secret."

Yuwen Zhiji was startled, "No way!"

Yuan Min smiled and said, "That's because you look at the problem too simply. For example, this time Zhang Xuan and Zhang Jinsheng fought in Qinghe County, but Gao Shida and Dou Jiande did not come to help Zhang Jinsheng. Don't you find it strange?"

"Brother Yuan means that Zhang Xuan, Dou Jiande and Gao Shida secretly colluded?"

"This is obvious. If Zhang Xuan had not received the promise from Dou Jiande and Gao Shida, how could he dare to fight against Zhang Jincheng's 80,000 army with thousands of people?"

Yuanmin took a sip of wine and said, "Although I have no evidence, everyone knows that local officials and the bandits secretly colluded, which is also an open secret. For example, in this so-called hero meeting, many bandit leaders actually walked on the streets of Luoyang in a panic, but no officers and soldiers arrested them. If they had no backstage in the court, who would believe it? What I, the Great Sui Dynasty, was actually not afraid of external troubles, but internal troubles."

Yuwen Zhiji is not so conscious yet. He is just upset that Zhang Xuan is promoted to the Tiger General. He sighed and said, "Actually, my father is also very worried about Zhang Xuan, afraid that once he gains power, he will threaten our Yuwen family, but he just can't find a way to deal with him."

Although the Yuan family and Yuwen Shu reached a consensus on cooperation between the two sides, the two sides were in a deadlock in specific actions, mainly because there were great differences between the two sides on the Heroes Association.

The Yuan family hopes to destroy the Heroes Association and then make the world more chaotic, but Yuwen Shu hopes to use the Heroes Association to cultivate his own power, and he never agrees to cooperate with the Yuan family's actions.

Without Yuwen Shu's help, the power of the Yuan family and Wuchuan Prefecture could also destroy the Heroes Association, but it could not end. Therefore, Yuwen Shu had to act together and finally ended with Yuwen Shu.

Now Yuanmin has drawn the Yuwen family's hatred of Zhang Xuan from Yuwen Zhi and the words. So can we use Zhang Xuan's incident to exchange for Yuwen Shu to cooperate with the Yuan family in the Heroes Association?

Seeing Yuwen Zhi and bowing their heads, Yuanmin poured him a glass of wine and smiled: "Our Yuan family also has a small force. Why not find Zhang Xuan's handle for Brother Yuwen to see if he can help Brother Yuwen defeat Zhang Xuan."

"Do you have a way?" Yuwen Zhiji looked at Yuan Min expectantly.

Yuanmin looked at the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "I said just now that everyone has a handle, but it's just how to find it. Although we don't understand what happened in Shandong, it doesn't mean that others don't know."

On the night after receiving the reward, Zhang Xuan and others moved to Zhang Xutuo's new house. Zhang Xutuo's new house covers an area of ​​30 acres. It turned out to be the side house of General Li Hun. Not long after it was built, the furniture and items were all available in it, and there were more than a dozen servants. The house was not long after it was built. Before Li Hun could enjoy it, the family suffered a catastrophe.

The unexpectedly generous reward made everyone very happy. Except for You Junda, he was not promoted and was a little depressed. He originally agreed to go to have a drink together to celebrate in the evening, but You Junda disappeared in the afternoon.

"Have you found Junda?" Qin Qiong asked Luo Shixin when he came back. They went to find You Junda separately. Qin Qiong ran for an afternoon but did not find You Junda.

Of course, Qin Qiong was named Xiongwu Lang General this time, and he was ecstatic. He was afraid of irritating You Junda, so he acted as if nothing had happened. However, Luo Shixin was a person with temperament. He could not hide his inner joy and was actually named Guerrilla General. He liked this position very much.

Luo Shixin shook his head, "I just came back, and I didn't find him."

He scratched his head, "Will Lao You go back to Qi County by himself?"

"Impossible!" Qin Qiong said decisively: "His war horses and weapons are there, how can he return to Qi County?"

"Brother Qin, why is there no Lao You's share in this reward?" Luo Shixin asked in a low voice in confusion.

"This is normal. Deputy Commander Pei, Lao Jia and Lao Fei and others have no share. This time Junda was temporarily transferred back to Zhua County to replace Lao Jia. I originally thought that Zhang Jin said he would attack Qi County, but Zhang Jin said his army did not attack Qi County, but instead broke into Beihai County. According to reason, there should be hard work without credit.

Maybe the general thought that if he rewarded Junda, it would be unfair to Lao Jia and Lao Fei, but if he rewarded him, the Ministry of War would not be able to pass it, so he could only report his merits according to the actual situation. But it was ashamed to say that my second merit was a bit overestimated."

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Brother Qin was too aggrieved in the past, so this time it was compensation. I think it is perfectly qualified to be named General Hu Ben Lang. Of course, Brother Zhang should be named General!"

Luo Shixin said that he was underestimated in the past, although there was some reason for Qin Qiong to think that the problem was not that simple. Someone must have said good things about him in front of the saint, so the saint treated him very well. Otherwise, he should be the same as Luo Shixin. As for who said good things for him, he could not imagine for a moment.

At this time, a soldier shouted, "They are back."

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin hurried to the yard, and saw Zhang Xuan quickly walking into the yard, followed by Yuchi Gong, who was carrying someone on his back, which was You Junda.

Qin Qiong was shocked, "What's wrong with Junda?"

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "He ran to the restaurant alone and got drunk. He was found by Yuchi, so he carried him back. I met them at the door."

Everyone quickly carried You Junda into the inner room and placed it on the bed. You Junda shouted in pain: "The Grandmaster is unfair. I also crawled out of the pile of corpses. Why don't I have my share?"

Qin Qiong and others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that You Junda was so resentful. At this time, Zhang Xuan said to everyone: "Let's cancel the celebration tonight!"

Everyone looked at You Junda and nodded. They could no longer stimulate You Junda. (To be continued...)
