Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 319: Greed for merit? Accept the guilt! Vent your anger!

Liu Feiyun looked at the person who was speaking. He was indeed a descendant of a duke, and his father was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

Liu Feiyun sneered in his heart, but said with a friendly face:

"You want to come back to help me again! I, Liu Feiyun, am naturally very grateful."

"But, as you can see, if Brother Dong wants to join the Qinglong Army, I still need to hand over my military records to Commander Zuo. My Zhenhuang Army is naturally no exception!"

"Fortunately, your combat records in the student camp are still here, so we can find out with a quick check! I will naturally grant you new positions based on your merits!"

"Of course, it would be best if you could also bring your military exploits records from other armies, even if it's just a certificate! That way, you can be awarded a higher military rank!"

"Ah!? ...There are also other military records? Isn't that a bit too much trouble?"

The Duke then said somewhat angrily.

Liu Feiyun looked helpless.

"I can't do anything about it! After all, everyone in the army is watching you, and many people know everything about you!"

"If you find it troublesome, you don't have to bring it. However, based on your achievements in the student camp, the official position you are awarded may not be high!"

"Of course, there is another solution. That is, I will do the same as Brother Dong. I will give you a record of your military achievements and help you find a better job!"

"Besides, I haven't even had time to report my achievements in the student camp, so... I think you should be able to guess what I'm thinking!"

The man asked anxiously, "I heard from Brother Dong that the Zhenhuang Army will stay in the Northern Wasteland and will continue to fight?"

"Yes! One hundred thousand barbarian warriors must be eliminated within a year. Moreover, we can only rely on our Zhenhuang Army, there is no other help!"

"Oh... then!... then!... then I'd better ask Brother Liu to help me make a record of my military exploits!"

Once he made the decision, seven or eight more people followed suit.

In the end, only four people chose to rejoin Liu Feiyun's team.

"Well, wait a moment, I'll ask He Junwu to get the battle record."

After Liu Feiyun finished speaking, he gave instructions to the guards on duty outside the tent.

"Come here, go and ask He Junwu to bring the record of his military exploits in the student camp! And call Tushiti Luo as well!"

Not long after, Tushitiluo arrived first.

"Tushiti Luo! You are so brave! You dared to prevent Brother Dong and others from entering the camp without permission. You are so disrespectful! You look down on others with your dog eyes!"

As soon as Tushitiluo entered the big tent, Liu Feiyun shouted loudly in front of everyone.

Tushiti Luo was confused and didn't understand why Liu Feiyun suddenly scolded him.

However, this did not prevent him from immediately kneeling down, kowtow, apologize, and beg for mercy. The series of actions were performed so smoothly.

"Why are you apologizing to me? It's not me you offended! You should apologize to Brother Dong and the others! No! Not only should you apologize, you should also make amends!"

"compensate!?"

"Yes! It's compensation! I just heard that you took a lot of the military merits of Brother Dong and his men! Without their advice and hard work, how could you have made so many contributions!"

"Greedy for credit? Young Master, I'm not greedy for credit..."

"Of course not! With your pig brain, how could you possibly come up with so many ideas and have so many opportunities to make contributions! I declare that all your military exploits in the student camp are invalid! You must hand them over!"

"transfer!?"

"Yes, it will be handed over to the real meritorious people! That is Brother Dong and his friends! Also, Tuo Dajun is responsible for negligence, and half of his merits in the student camp will also be handed over to Brother Dong and his friends! Are you convinced?"

"I...I...I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken the credit! I shouldn't have taken away the credit from Brother Dong! I am willing to hand over all the credit!"

"That's good! Now you should kowtow and make amends! One by one! One by one!"

"I... am!... Young Master!"

Tushiti Luo was helpless and could only kowtow and apologize one by one.

Dong Ming and his people also reacted differently at this time, some accepted it calmly, some looked very proud, but there were also a few who hurried forward to support and stop them.

When Tushiti Luo kowtowed and apologized, the military officials and court officials arrived with several clerks.

Liu Feiyun simply asked He Chaogui what was wrong with being greedy for merit.

He Chaogui was very surprised, but still said seriously: "Those who are greedy for merit should be punished, and those who take credit for nothing should be put to death!"

When Liu Feiyun heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Dong Ming and the others' faces froze, and Tushiti Luo, who had just stood up, was so shocked that he knelt down again.

The tent fell into an eerie silence.

Liu Feiyun seemed to hesitate for a long time before he said to Dong Ming and others with an embarrassed look:

"I was wondering why this bastard insisted on stopping you from entering the camp! So that's why!"

"Everyone! This Tushiti Luo is a barbarian after all. He doesn't know the strict military law of our Great Chen. Besides, he is my servant after all! If I really punish him for taking credit for something and execute him, I will lose face!"

"Why don't I ask for a favor from you guys on his behalf and punish him for being greedy for credit? I hope you guys won't pursue this matter any further, or even mention it at all! How do you think?"

Dong Ming and others had different thoughts for a moment, but no one responded.

"Well, I will personally beat him with thirty military sticks and fine him thirty thousand taels of silver as an apology to you all! What do you think?"

"Thirty military sticks! Thirty thousand taels of silver!? Sir General! Why are you doing this? Tushiti Luo has made contributions after all... I, Dong Ming, will never mention this matter again!"

Dong Ming said hurriedly, and then he said to the people around him:

"Master Marshal is so loyal and righteous! We should naturally follow his wishes! Don't you think so?"

"If someone brings up what happened in the tent today in the future, don't blame me, Dong Ming, for not thinking of our brotherhood!"

Dong Ming's statement was immediately echoed by others! Soon, everyone agreed.

In the end, except for the four people who had to return to Liu Feiyun's command, Dong Ming and his men all had many more records of their military exploits added to their records. At the end, there was also a long paragraph of praise and recommendation from Liu Feiyun.

In addition, everyone also received more or less gold and silver jewelry worth one or two thousand taels of silver for free.

Finally, Liu Feiyun personally beat Tushiti Luo with thirty military sticks in front of them to vent their anger.

At this point, Dong Ming and the others all left with smiles on their faces.

"You four, carry Tushi Brigade Commander back to my tent first. I want to treat his injuries myself!"

After Liu Feiyun saw everyone leaving, he spoke to the four people who stayed behind.

Although the four of them are also from wealthy families, it is obvious that their thoughts are no longer the same as those of Dong Ming and others.

When the four heard Liu Feiyun no longer calling Tushiti a servant or a name, but adding his military rank, they were all moved and looked at each other.

Obviously, the words "Brigade Commander" were meant to deceive them.

The four of them hurriedly agreed and carefully carried Tushiti Luo while comforting him with kind words.

"Master General! Why are you doing this?"

He Chaogui, who wanted to leave, couldn't help but spoke.

"Alas! These young masters! It's not that I don't dare to offend them, but there is really no need to create trouble! I think they will return to the capital soon! And many of my properties and family are also in the capital!"

"But there's no need to go to this extent, right?"

"Haha! If it weren't for that reckless Tushiti Luo, he wouldn't have to be so self-deprecating! But! His making a scene might not be a bad thing!"

"This... Alas! Sir General... I... I will take my leave first!"

He Chaogui's full of emotions slowly faded away.

In the big tent, Tushiti Luo was lying on the bed with his back exposed, wailing non-stop, and the four men were trying to comfort him.

"That's enough! Everyone has gone far away! Why are you still howling like a ghost? It's just some superficial injuries, do they hurt so much?"

Liu Feiyun walked into the tent with a bowl of medicine for external injuries and said impatiently.

Tushiti Luo, who had been wailing ever since he started being beaten, immediately stopped, leaving the other four people feeling extremely embarrassed.

While Liu Feiyun was applying medicine to Tushiti Luo, he said to the four people:

"I know you all have some family backgrounds, and you have also made some military achievements after leaving Yunliu Camp!"

"However, Yunliu Camp is Yunliu Camp, and Zhenhuang Army is Zhenhuang Army! Since you have chosen to return, you must prove yourselves in future battles."

"How about this! You can first serve as a sergeant in the brigade! Don't complain about the low rank! There will be many more battles in the future! There will be plenty of opportunities for meritorious service and promotion!"

"Are you still willing to do this?"
