To avoid Qiu Bashaliang taking advantage of his merits, he even took the head of his comrade's robe to receive the merits.

Such things have emerged one after another in the past.

However, the Song army has now been completely renewed.

The officials checked it two or three times, but found no problems.

The heads are all like Tubo people, their hairstyles and ages are all like adults.

There were no elderly, no children, no women and children, and there were no heads of the Song army soldiers mixed in it.

So, after confirming, the military judge took out a document, signed and sealed it, and handed it over to Zhong Jianzhong: "Commander, please take a look. In this battle, your army beheaded 285 levels, captured 867 thieves alive and obtained more than a thousand armored weapons..."

It sounds like more than 3,000 Xizhou soldiers and Tubo people from Zhongjianzhong fought on this wasteland for a whole morning.

In the end, he only beheaded 285 levels and captured 867 people alive.

It seems incredible.

But this is how the war in the era of cold weapons was.

Head-on fighting, hand-to-hand fighting, and beheading have always been like this.

To be honest, if the two hundred and eighty-five levels of beheading in Zhong Jianzhong were placed in the past, it would be enough to represent the imperial court and would be called a great victory.

This is because the Song army lacks cavalry, and even if they win, they cannot pursue them, and they can even retreat after winning.

Therefore, it is impossible to clean the battlefield.

It is very good to behead dozens of defense operations in general.

This time, Zhong Jianzhong was able to get so many beheadings, thanks to his victory in the field, and the Tubo people trampled on each other during the escape, causing him to take more than a hundred more beheadings.

Otherwise, it would be lucky to behead more than a hundred of them after this battle.

Zhong Jianzhong took the document, signed and sealed it, and then looked at the captured prisoners.

"You should be grateful to the officials and saints of the dynasty for their kindness and kindness, and putting the people first. Therefore, even if you turn into barbarians, you will still be grateful to you and others..." He said softly.

This is a fact!

If the emperor of the dynasty had not been based on kindness and used the teachings of the saints to issue reward orders for the Yuanyou Army, so that the reward for the living prisoners was higher than that for the beheading.

Otherwise, Zhong Jianzhong knew that killing prisoners was inevitable.

Even if he restrained his subordinates, at least half of the 867 prisoners today must return to this.

If it were a bloodthirsty general, even a prisoner would not have thought of it!

As a son of the general, Zhong Jianzhong had a clear understanding of the Song Dynasty's official army.

...

In the evening of that day, the Song army camp.

Wang Dafu untied his robe, and his chest was blue and purple.

These are the marks left by the Tubo people's weapons and arrows.

Fortunately, the armor he wore was strong enough, so he only had skin trauma. After a few days of rest, he should get better.

Of course...

It's not just that the armor is strong enough.

Wang Daxun flipped over the coarse cloth lining of the inner lining of his armor.

In the burlap, among the compacted cotton wool, iron sheets were sewn with needles and threads.

He counted slowly and soon found several iron pieces that were deformed by external forces.

He immediately grinned and looked at Guo Gui, who was cleaning up the armor he had replaced, and said: "Guo Gui, you're good at this method!"

"I'm thanking you this time, otherwise I'm going to be injured again. I'm going to perform my merits at the Xiaozhong Taiwei."

Guo Gui immediately smiled flatteringly: "Thank you, Tixia, for raising me!"

Wang Dafu kept his word to the village party.

After changing his clothes in the camp, he took his armor and lining and asked Zhong Jianzhong to meet him.

Because of Xiang Zongji, Zhong Jianzhong knew about Wang Dafa. After dealing with Wang Dafa several times, he also had a good impression of his loyalty and honesty.

Of course, because Wang Dafu had a label on his forehead, he had always kept his distance from him and did not get close to him, nor did he think about trying to win him over.

After receiving the notice, Wang Dafu was summoned.

After listening to Wang Daxun's report, he looked at the various traces on his armor, and carefully observed the lining. He wrapped iron sheets with cotton wool and sewed them together to protect the key points. He immediately became interested. Then he took off his robe and tried on the lining that Wang Daxun changed at the suggestion of Guo Gui.

He soon discovered that this lining is both warm and comfortable, and has a certain degree of defense.

It was simply tailor-made for the Song army.

Zhong Jianzhong was very happy and said to Wang Dafu: "The big axe is beheading four levels today, and now he has offered such a wonderful method, so he can be transferred to an official!"

Wang Dafu is now a military minister rank of the young envoy, and he is transferred to the position of the first official, which is the right rank of the palace.

This is the ninth-rank military official rank.

Many famous generals of the Song Dynasty started their legendary lives from the Youban Palace.

Wang Dafu listened, but shook his head and said, "It's a good thing that the Taiwei knew that this method was not created by the last general, but was what Guo Gui, a fellow villager in the Bianjing New City."

Although he wanted to be promoted, he did not end the credit of his hometown party.

Besides, this time he personally beheaded level 4, plus more than ten bandits who led his troops to lead his troops.

With this contribution, I have been qualified to be transferred to an official after another half a year.

What's more, the war has just begun, and he still has the opportunity to behead and make meritorious contributions.

Zhong Jianzhong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Dafu with appreciation, and asked softly: "Has Dafu ever read a book?"

Wang Dafu said, "Report to Taiwei Xiaozhong, when I was young, I studied in the Wang family private school in Bianjing for several years. I was not studying because of my naughtyness, but I was familiar with the words!"

This is the norm for the people of Bianjing.

Bianjing was the place with the highest literacy rate in the Song Dynasty. Even the strong men who carried big bags could read, and even know how to arithmetic, and could calculate the addition and subtraction within a hundred!

As a result, the illiteracy rate of millions of soldiers and civilians in Bianjing may be less than 40%.

As a result, the civic culture of Bianjing was formed.

There is so much rich entertainment and gossip.

So much so that as soon as the new lyrics of Liu Sanbian and Yan Jidao were released, they could be immediately sung throughout the capital.

Zhong Jianzhong got Wang Dafu's answer, stroked his beard and said, "It turns out that Dafu has read the articles of saints, no wonder he is so loyal and righteous!"

"The big axe is now in office, so you should work harder!"

"For those who are generals, they should read more. Only by reading can they understand the truth!"

This is also considered a tradition in the Song Dynasty.

No matter whether you meet a civil and military minister, when you meet a young and low-level military minister who has a taste for you, you will always advise the other party to read more and read good books.

If these young people do what they do.

Naturally, they will promote, and slowly cultivate them into their own ally in the army.

Duke Fan Wenzheng and Duke Han Zhongxian both cultivated a large number of talents in the Western Army.

The late Duke Di Wuxiang is the masterpiece of Duke Fan Wenzheng.

Of course, Zhong Jianzhong knew that the future of this Wang Da Axe was not his turn to worry about.

Although Xiang Zongji is only a member of the Xiang family, he has this relationship. As long as the king's axe continues to maintain, the Xiang family will sooner or later promote him.

Maybe, this person's name will be on the list of martial arts recommendations next year.

Wang Dafu didn't know about this. Seeing Zhong Jianzhong like this, a famous family member who had served by the official family, a figure like the old Taiwei family of the old Taiwei family, encouraged him and was immediately moved and said, "I have written down the teachings of Xiao Zhong Taiwei."

"I will study hard..."

"Just..." He raised his head and looked at Zhong Jianzhong. He remembered the stories he had heard in Bianjing. He bowed: "I am stupid, but I don't know where to study. I hope you can ask Xiao Zhong Taiwei to give me some advice!"

Zhong Jianzhong smiled and felt that the person was really honest, so he mentioned, "Hasn't you heard of the big axe?"

"The You Magistrate of Xizhou is a great disciple of Mr. Hengqu."

"Mr. Hengqu is a great scholar in our dynasty. Hengqu is the key to having a teaching but not a distinction!"

"It's me who also studied under Mr. Hengqu back then. I received my teacher's teachings and benefited for life!"

"I want to learn now, so I should take You Magistrate as my teacher!"

"The magistrate You have hired many classmates from the past to take up posts in Xizhou Prefecture. He wants to imitate Fan Wenzheng's feat of Yingtian College in Nanjing and rekindle the sage's classics in Xizhou!"

"If you want to study with great axe sincerely, you should go to Xizhou Prefecture to study and become a disciple of the Youzhou Prefecture."

When Wang Dafu heard this, he immediately bowed: "I thank you for your advice from Xiaozhong for your advice!"

"But, I am a humble person and I am afraid that I will not accept you from the Ming Mansion. I would like to ask the Taiwei Xiaozhong to prepare a letter and introduce it to me!"
