Chapter 933 Commander of the City Guards

Ouyang Shuo looked at Yang Guang with a half-smile, and said, "Why should I help you?"

"King Xia helps me get rid of the prince, and I will gain a solid ally in the Sui Dynasty." Yang Guang promised.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "Not enough!"

In the foreseeable time, Yang Guang might not be able to be the master of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang also knew that just an empty promise won't impress the other party, and it won't work on him, so he said: "If there is any condition, King Xia might as well put it forward."

"Excellent!" Ouyang Shuo nodded, "I only want one person."

"Who?"

Ouyang Shuo said, "Come take care of the child."

Lai Hu'er, named by Ouyang Shuo, was born in the Lai family in Xinye, and his name was Chongshan. He defected to the Sui army in his early years, participated in the suppression of the Chen Dynasty and the Jiangnan rebellion, and made great contributions to the founding of the government and the general.

During the Daye period, he paid homage to General Youyiwei, and served as the commander of the marching army to conquer Goguryeo three times to put down Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Later, he toured Jiangdu with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and served as General Zuo Yiwei, who was granted the title of Duke Rong.

In 618 A.D., Jiangdu rebelled, Emperor Yang of Sui was murdered, and Lai Huer was murdered together.

"This……"

Yang Guang was a little hesitant, Lai Hu'er was considered one of the closest generals in the Sui court to go with him, and Yang Guang was really reluctant to give it to Da Xia like this.

When Ouyang Shuo saw him, he didn't rush and drank tea leisurely.

Seeing this, Yang Guang gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you. It's just a little bit, please show me how you plan to help me?"

Only then did Ouyang Shuo smile slightly, and said: "This king can send a note to your court and designate His Highness as a commercial liaison envoy, responsible for the commercial liaison between Sui and Daxia."

Yang Guang was slightly delighted when he heard this, and he couldn't help admiring that the other party was indeed a smart person.

In terms of power in the court, Yang Guang did not lose to the prince Yang Yong, what was lacking was an aboveboard reason to intervene in the court affairs. Otherwise, you can only hide behind the scenes, which is very inconvenient.

With the status of "commercial liaison envoy", Yang Guang was able to step from behind the scenes to the foreground, and even lead the diplomacy of the Sui Dynasty, gradually infiltrating influence on the imperial court.

Although the matter is simple, only Daxia can help with this.

Ouyang Shuo took a leisurely look at Yang Guang, and then said: "In Quanzhou, Daxia is quite powerful. If your Highness has any inconvenient things, you can ask them to do it for you."

After hearing this, Yang Guang's eyes lit up, without any hesitation, he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, King Xia, General Hu'er will come to Shanhai City to report soon."

No wonder Yang Guang was excited, it was just because Prince Yang Yong held Da Sui's secret agency in his hands, which made Yang Guang very uncomfortable. If Da Xia helped, the situation would naturally be different.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly.

This time, Shanhaiwei's arrangement in Quanzhou was exposed. One was to help Yang Guang, and the other was to protect Shanhaiwei. A few days ago, Shen Buhui reported to him that Tai Sui was investigating spies in Quanzhou.

It didn't take long before some of Shanhaiwei's outlying spies would be caught. Instead of this, it is better to be a favor, which not only saves these spies, but also gives Yang Guang the capital to fight against the prince Yang Yong.

A Great Sui with internal strife is beneficial and harmless to Great Xia.

After the discussion was completed, Yang Advertisement resigned and left.

*************

On August 17, Yang Guang returned to Quanzhou with the free trade gift promised by Daxia, and successfully completed the task. The next morning, Lai Nuer's family went to Daxia.

Ouyang Shuo received the report, and asked the future nurse's family to settle properly, and at the same time received Lai nurse in the Hall of Martial Arts.

In the game, Lai Huer is in her forties, with a high nose and broad face, a beard and dark skin, with bulging muscles all over her body, and she has Zhang Fei's demeanor.

Don't look at Hu'er's rough appearance, but he loves the soldiers under his command very much, and is deeply loved by the soldiers.

【Name】: Lai Huer (King Class)

【Dynasty】: Sui Dynasty

[Identity]: General of the Great Xia Dynasty

[Occupation]: Senior General

[Loyalty]: 70 points

[Commander]: 75 [Force]: 87 [Intelligence]: 55 [Politics]: 60

[Speciality]: Valiant General (increase troop attack power by 30%, increase marching speed by 25%)

[Cultivation method]: None

[Equipment]: Iron Spear

[Evaluation]: Protecting children is important, keeping the contract, cheaper than money, not about property. As for the use of troops in the army, they are very resourceful, good at comforting soldiers, and partly strict, so they are salty to their death.

"The last general pays homage to the king!"

In the main hall, Lai Hu'er saluted solemnly, but there was no hint of intimacy in his tone.

It's no wonder that Mao rashly switched from Da Sui to Da Xia, and Lai Hu'er hadn't turned the corner yet. It's just that Lai Hu'er made a promise, since Yang Guang spoke in person, he had no choice but to obey.

Now that you have obeyed, you won't be obedient and obedient.

In this way, Lai Huer's loyalty is so high, directly reaching seventy points.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and said: "The general is not polite." Waiting for the nurse to get up, he continued: "It is really not fair and aboveboard to use such means to beg the general."

"..."

Although Lai Hu'er didn't speak, she was thinking in her heart: "It's good that you know."

Ouyang Shuo said: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. The current Sui Dynasty is not the Great Sui Dynasty in history; but the Great Xia right now is comparable to the Great Xia in history."

"To tell you the truth, the Great Sui and the Great Xia live next to each other, and there will be a war in the future. The general doesn't think about himself, but also thinks about his children. Could it be that they have to suffer again?"

"..."

Lai Hu'er was silent again, obviously a little touched.

Speaking of which, Lai Huer had twelve sons in total. During the mutiny in Jiangdu, the eldest son Lai Kai, the fifth son Laihong and the sixth son Laizheng were killed along with Lai Huer, leaving only the youngest two sons Lai Huan and Lai Ji.

Right now, there are three brothers, Lai Kai, Lai Hong and Lai Zheng, accompanying Lai Hu'er in the wilderness.

As the so-called "a tiger father has no dogs", when Jiangdu mutinied, he was San Qilang and Doctor Chaosan when he came to Kai, General Guoyi Lang and Doctor Jin Ziguanglu when he came to Hong, General Wu Benlang and Doctor You Guanglu when he came to Zhengshi .

Ouyang Shuo went on to say: "When it comes to Daxia, the general, father and son can be reused, galloping on the battlefield, it's better than staying in Quanzhou, like a bird in a cage."

What else could Lai Hu'er say, clasped his fists together, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will have no second thoughts."

At the same time, a system notification sound came from Ouyang Shuo's ear.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who successfully persuaded Lai Huer to return to his heart and increased Lai Huer's loyalty by 10 points. Congratulations player!"

This time Ouyang Shuo asked to come to take care of his son by name, but he said that he came to take care of his son with real materials, almost comparable to Shi Wansui. When Yang Su led the army to the south of the Yangtze River to put down Gao Zhizhi's rebellion, Lai Hu'er and Shi Wansui were right and left arms.

The second is Lai Huer and two very promising sons, Lai Huan and Lai Ji. The two brothers were both officials and prime ministers during the Tang Gaozong period, which is quite remarkable.

At that time, the two were only eight or nine years old. After the family suffered a catastrophe, they were in exile.

Among the two brothers, the younger brother Laiji is the most extraordinary.

During the Zhenguan period, he came to Ji Ren Tongshi Sheren, later moved to Zhongshu Sheren, and wrote "Book of Jin" with Linghu Defen and others. In the second year of Yonghui, he paid homage to the Minister of Zhongshu, and was also a bachelor of Hongwenguan and a minor in national history.

In the sixth year of Yonghui, he paid homage to the order of Zhongshu and the official secretary of the school. He was hated by Wu Zetian because he opposed the deposed king and queen. Later, Chu Sui was demoted to the governor of Tingzhou after many good deeds. In the second year of Longshuo, the Western Turks invaded and died in battle. He was 53 years old at the time.

It can be seen that although Laiji is a civil servant, he has the style of being a father, and he does not humiliate the lintel.

Presumably after the next battle, brothers Lai Huan and Lai Ji will show up in the wilderness. With Lai Huer here, Shanhai City will have two civil servants at that time.

…………

After sending away Lai Huer, Ouyang Shuo recruited Du Ruhui.

This time Ouyang Shuo asked Yang Guang for a babysitter, not only to cherish his talents, but also to make plans for the commander of the fourth regiment of the Imperial Guard who was being reorganized.

The arrival of Lai Nuer just completed the last link.

The next morning, the imperial court announced the appointment and dismissal of a series of generals.

He revoked the posts of General Anxi and Chief of the Second Army of the Longxiang Army of Zhongyonghou Shi Wansui, and was promoted to the commander of the City Guard Army. In addition to the rank of General Anxi of the third rank, he took the rank of General of the Second Rank of Zhenguo.

The post of commander of the city guard has been vacant until now, and the person in charge is finally ushered in.

For Shi Wansui, a veteran general with meritorious service, Ouyang Shuo can be said to be the most graceful. For this reason, he did not hesitate to break the convention that the command of an army must be held by a god general, and promoted Shi Wansui, which is really a great honor.

In this way, it also expresses an attitude to the older generation of civil servants and generals in the dynasty. The court will not forget the old officials who have overcome difficulties for the dynasty along the way just because of the arrival of batches of newcomers, so as to appease the hearts of the people and the army.

The city guards defended the royal city, and it couldn't be more appropriate to seal Shi Wansui as the general of the town.

Lai Hu'er was appointed as the commander of the second regiment of the Longxiang Army, and awarded the rank of General Zhenwei of the fourth rank. Lai Huer's three sons, Lai Kai, Lai Hong and Lai Zheng, were all transferred to the Longxiang Army and served as brigade commander or division commander.

With four generals in one family, Laijia, who had just defected to Daxia, stepped onto the stage of history in this way. Such kindness also made Lai Nuer's doubts go away, so he took his three sons into the palace to thank him that afternoon.

The Lai clan officially took root in Daxia.

General Dong Zhonglang was revoked from the position of commander of the First Corps of the City Guards, and transferred to the post of Commander of the Fourth Corps of the Imperial Guards. In addition to the title of General Dong Zhonglang, he took the rank of General of the Third Rank Wuwei.

General Dong Zhonglang and General Wuwei are both third-rank generals, the difference is that General Wuwei is exclusive to the imperial guards. This time Evil came to be transferred to the Imperial Guard, so the title of the general was also changed accordingly.

With Eilei's bravery and illustrious meritorious service, coupled with Eilei's prestige in the army, there will be no opposition from the army when he is transferred to the post of commander of the Imperial Guard.

Ma Chao, Lu Bu, and Elai, one of the best generals in the Great Xia Army, are almost all concentrated in the Imperial Guard Army, which also makes the Imperial Guard Army worthy of the title of ace army.

As for the post of head of the First Army Corps of the City Guard Army that Elai had dismissed, according to the usual practice, Shi Wansui, the commander of the City Guard Army who had just taken office, would naturally take the concurrent post.

Zhao Sihu, the deputy commander of the army, is Shi Wansui's old subordinate, and there should be no obstacles to the cooperation between the two.

In this way, Ouyang Shuo's worry about the head of the Imperial Guard was finally resolved properly. The only ones who had some regrets were Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and other three generals of the Three Kingdoms.

Fortunately, they still have opportunities in the future.

With Evil coming to take office, it means that Daxia's war against Swordsman City is not far away.
