Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye repeatedly explained that this matter was done by his brother Cheng Erniu, and he couldn't get along with him, but Kang Bao insisted that since Cheng Erniu was willing to be driven by Guo Ye, then Guo Ye must be the strong process Erniu .

Anyway, there was a burst of boasting, which made people as thick-skinned as Guo Ye feel a little ashamed and embarrassed.

But when he heard Guo Ye mention that the eighteen cavalry went out of the north gate and only five or six of them returned, Kang Bao also sighed for a while, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "Brother, brother, I have also fought and killed the enemy before, so I naturally know The battle between the two armies was fierce. Your dead brothers are all true warriors. My condolences, the dead are dead, and the living should strive for self-improvement, right?"

One is because Guo Ye saved his younger sister Kang Zhiru, and he is kind to the Kang family; the other is because Guo Ye is so brave that he won the favor of Kang Bao, a soldier in the army.After getting acquainted for a while, Kang Bao seemed to have recognized Guo Ye, and he had already begun to call him brother elder brother short.

Guo Ye also thinks that Kang Bao is a bit interesting, he doesn't mind that he was born as a handyman, and he treats himself very politely, since he gives us face, we should take care of it, right?Is it okay to be too hypocritical?

Only a bitch can be hypocritical.Because bitches are hypocritical!

Hearing that Kang Bao was comforting him, Guo Ye nodded in agreement. The atmosphere at this time was a bit sad and depressing. He didn't want to affect Kang Bao because of his emotions, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Kang, it's not that Yizhou County City is about to break down. Will it take at least ten days from the beginning of the Duwei's Mansion to arrive at Longxi County? It's only been a few days, how come you came so fast?"

Guo Ye didn't believe that these government soldiers were heavenly soldiers, birdmen with wings inserted in their backs, who could fly and airborne!

When Kang Bao heard Guo Ye mention this, he also shouted in disbelief: "What do you think is a coincidence? Earlier, I was ordered by my father to go to the Sunset Mountain to suppress the bandits, but when I went to the Sunset Mountain area to search For several days, I couldn’t find even a bandit’s hair. Later, when I searched the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, I learned from the local fishermen that nearly a thousand teams marched towards the upper reaches of the Minjiang River a few days ago. I thought to myself Perhaps these people are the bandits of the Sunset Mountain, and they may come to do evil again, but if not, let’s march along the upper reaches.”

"It's also destiny. I ran into your county magistrate Wu not far away. At first, my brother thought he was some kind of villain. You see, he looks so ugly. He doesn't look like a good person. Yes. No?"

"Haha..." Guo Ye felt happy when he heard Kang Bao arrange Wu Kui's elimination.

"Later, my brothers collected Wu Kui's request for help and official seals. When he saw us dressed like this, he knew that we were government soldiers, so he cried and asked us to go to rescue Longxi County."

"Brother heard the word Longxi County, and then read the Guanfang Seal of the Wu County Prime Minister, which is also from the Longxi County Government, thinking that my little sister mentioned before that the little benefactor who saved him is from the Longxi County Government Little catcher."

"No, I rushed over here in a hurry. I'm paralyzed, if it weren't for your Wu Xiancheng who couldn't run long distances, brother might be able to arrive this morning. If you can't bear it, you can kill thieves with your brother , let’s have fun together, hi!”

Kang Bao murmured, and Guo Ye immediately understood what was going on. I dare say that Wu Xiancheng was lucky, and met Kang Bao's regiment of soldiers on the way.

No wonder Wu Xiancheng’s expression was half-dead just now, as if he had suffered a great crime. It turned out that he had been raiding with the army for a few days. Guo Ye sighed, it’s really not easy. It is not easy to survive by luck.

But he seems to have heard Kang Bao mentioning "following my father's order" in Kang Bao's words. Could it be that his father is also an official?

Then I thought of Wu Kui, an eighth-rank civil official who belonged to the county magistrate, and respectful to Kang Bao of the same level, who was also an eighth-rank school lieutenant among the military officers, and felt more and more that Kang Bao was a second-generation official.

This can also explain why his little sister, the girl he rescued, Kang Zhiru, has such a cherished bracelet.

Kang Bao looked at Guo Ye who was frowning and kept silent, and hurriedly bumped him who was in a daze with his arm, and then asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Out of curiosity, Guo Ye wanted to ask who Kang Bao's father was, but he wondered if it would be awkward to ask such a question, so he smiled awkwardly, and said with an unnatural smile: "No, Nothing, actually I want to ask Brother Kang, your father is, is, is..."

It's been a long time, but I can't make a fart. Even Guo Ye feels that it is very difficult for him to live.

Who knows that Kang Bao people are not stupid. Looking at Guo Ye's embarrassed expression and listening to his hesitant words, he immediately felt relieved and said without hypocrisy: "Look at how uncomfortable you are, let me tell you, my father is Captain Zhechong of Yizhou County—Kangyue Mountain."

What the hell?

Kang Bao's father is Captain Zhechong of Yizhou County?That's what Zhechong Duwei's mansion said.

Obediently, that is equivalent to the chief captain of a city-level armed police corps in later generations, and he is also a brigade-level figure after all.

Well, Guo Ye looked at Kang Bao with bright eyes. It turns out that this kid is the second generation of the army. No wonder an eighth-rank Xuanjie captain can command nearly 600 people, and one person can monopolize two hundred people group.

No wonder Wu Kui, a shrewd old monkey, also respects him, can he not respect him?

Even if military generals have always met civilian officials, they are one level shorter.

But no matter how low it is, the county magistrate is only a civil servant of the eighth rank, and the captain of Zhechong in Yizhou County is at least a military attache with real power from the fifth rank.

Does Wu Kui dare to show Kang Bao's face?

Annoyed his father, Kang Yueshan, and directly led the soldiers of the fourth regiment to kill you, making you frightened!

Kang Bao looked at Guo Ye as if he had changed completely, and couldn't help laughing. He was a young man after all, and he had never seen any great officials in this small county.

Immediately said to Guo Ye: "Brother Guo, after my father found out that my little sister was rescued by you a few days ago, he has been talking about repaying your kindness, how is it? Are you going back to Yizhou County with your brother? With your ability, plus my father’s words, and your relationship with Kang’s family, if you enter our Zhechong Duwei’s Mansion, you will definitely not have the advantage of running away!”

Go to the county town of Yizhou and enter Zhechong Duwei's mansion?

This is to recruit the younger brother to join the army. Jin Ge iron horse gallops on the battlefield, especially the treatment of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, that is leveraged.

Guo Ye felt a little bit moved, he laughed dryly, leaned towards Kang Bao and asked, "Brother Kang, let's get to the bottom of it, I entered Zhechong Duwei's mansion, what benefits can Master Kang give me?"

Chapter 133

benefit?

Kang Bao was immediately stunned by Guo Ye's generous question. Isn't this kid really straightforward?

And let's just convey my father's kindness, this kid is too good at climbing up the pole.

Besides, he is only the eighth-rank Xuanjie school captain of Zhechong Duwei Mansion. Although he is the son of Zhechong Duwei Kang Yueshan, in addition to his father, the palm-printed captain, there is also a deputy in the Duwei Mansion. Captain Guo Yi is in charge.

It's not up to him, an eighth-rank Xuanjie captain, to make decisions about the seriousness of the Eight Classics, or about promotion and promotion.

Tangled!

Immediately, Kang Bao laughed dryly, scratched the back of his head in a little embarrassment and said to Guo Ye: "Brother, don't look at my brother, I manage hundreds of people, we are also superficial. As for the benefits you mentioned , Brother, I can’t promise you rashly, my father has the final say on this matter.”

Maybe it was because of a little apology, and then Kang Bao changed the subject again, patted his chest and assured: "But brother, don't worry, my father has the final say on the one-acre and three-point land in Zhechong Duwei's mansion, and it will definitely not be short-lived." For your benefit, how about it?"

Guo Ye saw that Kang Bao was made things difficult by his sudden question, but he didn't care about his face and made big promises without shame, he was a real person.

And Kang Bao's words are also reasonable. Often the chief and deputy leaders of a place are incompatible, just like the Longxi county government. Isn't the county magistrate Gu Weiyong and the county magistrate Wu Kuina a dog, isn't it a typical example?

Although Kang Bao's father is Captain Zhechong, there is still Captain Guo Yi holding him back.Dad didn't say a word, why should your son make such a fuss?Isn't this giving others a reason to frame his father?

Then, Guo Ye shook his head and smiled, and said to Kang Bao: "Brother Kang doesn't need to do this. This time, my younger brother expelled the bandits and defended the isolated city of Longxi County with only two hundred yamen servants. It's a great achievement no matter what. When the county magistrate Your lord will definitely reward me, hehe, my little brother reckons that a Ninth-Rank is worthless."

Guo Ye said so, and Kang Bao also thought so, unless Gu Weiyong's brains were amused, otherwise it would be a big taboo in the officialdom not to reward those who made meritorious deeds.If meritorious service is not rewarded, how will you control your subordinates in the future?

Guo Ye has always believed in the rules of the workplace. A leader who does not know how to promote meritorious ministers is definitely not a good leader.

This unspoken rule in the workplace was regarded as a classic in later generations, and it was also true in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Kang Bao nodded in agreement, and said in agreement: "Brother, you believe what I said, and you are credited with your life. If your county magistrate Gu doesn't promote and appreciate you well, then his head will be designated by the crack of the door." Trapped and kicked by a donkey. But—"

Kang Bao still said unwillingly: "Brother, with your ability and skills, you are too condescending in this small county. Listen to brother, why don't you come back to Yizhou County with me in a few days? Enter the military camp , On the battlefield, it is a good place for you to display your talents and skills."

Hearing Kang Bao's words full of temptation, Guo Ye couldn't make a choice for a while.

Staying in Longxi County, relying on his own merits, it is difficult for Gu Weiyong not to promote himself.As Ma Yuanju said earlier, when there is a crisis, there is an opportunity. The most difficult crisis has been overcome, so why not enjoy the opportunities that come with it?

However, what Kang Bao said is right, the layout of Longxi County is really too small, even if you wear a ninth-grade green robe, so what?If you want to go further, you will have to wait and suffer again.

Moreover, the more he has seen and the more important figures he has come into contact with, Guo Ye has found that his ambitions are gradually expanding. Is it true that in this life, he is really fighting for a rank nine, and will he end up at the position of rank nine in the end? ?

It's different when you go to Yizhou County. It's the capital of the state, the stage is big enough, there are enough opportunities, and there are affections from the Kang family there.
