12. Sun Yu, who was promoted and became wealthy

  "Liu Yu!" Gong Sun Zan said loudly: "Your organization is methodical, the city defense is strong, and you were seriously injured for the sake of defending the city. This general is very pleased, and rewards you with five kilograms of gold!"

  Liu Yu was carried on a stretcher and brought into the palace, where he thanked Gongsun Zan for his reward.

  "Tian Yu and Yan Gang, you two charged forward in the battle against the Wuhuan army, beheading countless enemies. I reward you with ten kilograms of gold."

  "Sun Yu!" Gong Sun Zan said: "You assisted Liu Yu in defending the city, and after Liu Yu was injured, you took on the heavy responsibility of defending the city. You wounded the enemy general and used a divine arrow to save my life. I reward you with 15 kilograms of gold. Additionally, your official position will be promoted to..."

  She spoke fluently, but suddenly hesitated when it came to promotion. This Sun Yu's martial arts skills have several types, both civil and military, what kind of official position should be arranged for him? From the current situation, Sun Yu's martial arts skills are the most powerful in the Gong Sun family except for himself.

  Gongsun Zan himself held the position of Zhonglang General in the Han court. If he was second only to him, then Sun Yu would be appointed as Du Jun Xiao Wei. Gongsun Zan thought for a moment and raised his head saying: "Then I will promote you to Du Jun Xiao Wei."

  As soon as this was said, everyone in the house gasped, wasn't this official position under one person of the Gong Sun family and above ten thousand people?

  Tian Yu and Yan Gang, the two great generals, exchanged a glance. The two of them had long followed Gongsun Zan and naturally knew that their lord was eager to marry off his daughter. Since he had promoted Sun Yu to such a high position, it was likely that he would soon invite him to join their family through marriage.

  The two had such an idea, although they felt that the newly arrived Sun Yu's official position was higher than their own, which made them very unhappy. However, there was no reason to compete with the lord's man for a position, so they fell silent together and pretended to be wooden men.

  But unexpectedly, a man stood up from the hall below. The man was wearing iron armor and wore a white cloak, looking like a white horse guard. The man said loudly: "Master, doing so may not be appropriate. Sun Yu is good at martial arts, but he is only a mid-level martial artist with red clothes, it's not necessarily stronger than Tian Yu and Yan Gang. Moreover, this person is new here, we don't know anything about his background. What if... the subordinate just said what if, this person is a spy..."

  Down, actually said I was a spy, grandma's. Sun Yu was angry in his heart, but he was a calm and rational scientist in his previous life, and would not easily show his emotions on his face. He stood up, bowed to the man with his fists together: "I don't know how this brother is called?"

  That man seemed a bit afraid of his martial arts skills, hesitated for a moment, but still said sternly: "My name is Wang Men, and I am the captain of the White Horse Righteous From."

  NM01 immediately reported to Sun Yu's ear: "Wang Men, the word is not detailed, and there is no such person in the Romance. In the orthodox history, he betrayed Gongsun Zan and defected to Yuan Shao, leading the rebel army to attack Gongsun Zan, and was driven back by Tian Yu."

  Sun Yuxin's heart moved, huh? It seems that not all of the Three Kingdoms' generals have become women. This Wang Men is still a man. According to this world's rules, men can't use martial arts skills, no wonder he couldn't become a general and could only be the captain of the White Horse Righteousness From team. Since the opponent can't use martial arts skills, his strength is inferior to mine, so there's no need to be afraid.

  Sun Yu coughed lightly and said coldly, "Captain, you keep saying I'm a spy, do you have any evidence?"

  Wang's expression was so cold that it startled him, and he was a little afraid that he would suddenly use his martial arts skills to hurt someone. He took a few steps back and said loudly: "The 'just in case' I mentioned earlier doesn't necessarily mean you're the spy."

  Sun Yu sneered, "Is that just nonsense? You actually dare to use nonsense to tarnish my image in the eyes of our lord, isn't that going too far?" Sun Yu had a terminal illness and could only live for ten more years. He had to make as much money as possible and set out early to find a way back. Whoever blocked his path to promotion and wealth was essentially taking his life. His face turned charcoal black, and an aura of murder emanated from his body.

  Wang Men jumped in fright and retreated two steps, intentionally or unintentionally hiding behind Yan Gang's back. He knew that Tian Yu's "Broken Barbarian" was only useful when dealing with ethnic minorities. In ordinary battles, Yan Gang's "Gun General" was more formidable. At this time, he hid behind Yan Gang's back, still speaking loudly: "I'm just sharing the worries of our lord, if you're not a spy, it will naturally be clear after investigation."

  The "meat shield" in front of him, Yan Gang, suddenly felt like crying and laughing at the same time. She was almost forty years old and had seen many things in life. How could she not know what Wang Men was thinking? Gong Sun Zan wanted to find a man to marry into the family and inherit the Gong Sun family's legacy, which everyone in Youzhou knew about. If it weren't for Sun Yu coming to stir up trouble, Wang Men would have been the one with the greatest chance of success. He was the captain of the 5,000 White Horse Guards and was considered the most formidable among men.

  If Gongsun Zan is slow to marry, the chances of choosing Wangmen are very high. Unexpectedly, Sun Yu came and Wangmen's hopes were completely dashed. Not only was the military general not as good as Sun Yu, but also in terms of appearance, age, and all aspects, no one was better than Sun Yu.

  Yan Gang smiled wryly in his heart, this man is using me as a shield to compete with each other, it's too unreasonable. Forget it, as an elder, I'll just intervene and mediate, otherwise, making a ruckus in the main hall will hurt the reputation of the Gong Sun family. Besides, competing for favor and being jealous isn't a big deal, killing people and shedding blood over this kind of thing is not worth it.

  Yan Gang's body flashed a red light, scaring Wang Men back several steps, retreating from her side. Then she retracted the red light and walked to the main hall, clasping her fists in respect towards Gong Sun Zan: "My lord, what Wang Men said about the spy is not credible. I see that Sun Yu has a righteous air about him, he doesn't look like a bad person at all. Moreover, he has made great contributions to defending the city and saved your life once before. If he were a spy, would he have been so diligent? I think this man can be trusted."

  She was very familiar with Gongsun Zan's mind, and as soon as she spoke, she said that Sun Yu had a righteous face and didn't look like a bad person, which coincided with Gongsun Zan's preferences. The analysis behind it also fully complied with Gongsun Zan's thoughts.

  However, she suddenly changed her tone and sighed: "But Mr. Xun Zhen is new to the army and indeed has a slightly lower reputation. If he is given the position of Du Jun Xiao Wei now, it may be difficult to convince others. If someone is hypocritical towards him, it may not work out."

  Gongsun Zan listened and thought it made sense. Her face turned red as she asked, "Then... what official position do you think would be suitable for Master Xunzhen?"

  Yan Gang coughed and used his eyes to desperately hint to Gong Sun that he should be stern, not showing a red face. Then he said loudly: "I think it's just the military council school lieutenant, participating in military consultations with the army, compared to the director of the military school lieutenant, the official position is slightly smaller, but also can make efforts for the master."

  Sun Yu heard, sweated, still wants to demote me, too unfair, I want to save money. He took a step forward and asked curiously: "May I ask... the salary of Junyi School Lieutenant and Du Junyi School Lieutenant... what's the difference?"

  Yan Gang was asked by him and cold sweated profusely, subconsciously answering: "The Du Jun Xiao Wei is 2000 dan, the Jun Yi Xiao Wei is 500 dan."

  I'm dizzy, I fell, the difference is so big? Do you still want people to live? Sun Yu was deeply saddened in his heart, and he quickly said to Gong Sun: "Master, don't listen to them, I am the most honest and trustworthy person. The salary of that... Military Counselor is a bit low... Otherwise... Master, give me the position of Military Counselor and issue a salary of Supervising Military Counselor, heh heh, okay?"

  Everyone in the room fell to the ground, Tian Yu and Yan Gang's hearts were filled with suppressed laughter. Where did this country bumpkin come from? As long as Master Sun recruits you into the family, won't all of the Gongsun family's wealth be yours? Why are you fighting over 2000 dan and 500 dan here, in the future you won't even care about such a small amount of money.

  Gongsun Zan's face also turned red, thinking to himself: "This Sun Yu is the same as last time, opening his mouth and asking for salary first. Alas, he's not a bad person, it's just that he loves money too much. In the future, won't all my money be yours?" She let out a sigh and said softly: "Then...let's do as Xun Zhen said, from today on, Mr. Xun will be promoted to Military Advisor Colonel, with an annual salary of...cough cough...2000 dan."

  Sun Yu was overjoyed, his salary increased from 100 shi per year to 2000 shi per year, this is a qualitative leap. After enduring for half a year, until the autumn harvest, he received a year's worth of salary and ran away with it, traveling all over the world to find a way back to his original world.

  Now that this matter has been settled, the generals in the hall have nothing to worry about. Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said: "All the generals hurry up and rest, let the 5,000 white horse Yizhong eat their fill, give the horses the best feed. Tomorrow at Chen time, the army will be dispatched to pursue the Wuhuan tribe and drive them out of Youzhou completely."
