Chapter 144
Wenhou Lübu's counterattack almost collapsed the Kwantung coalition army in one fell swoop.
The princes of the Eighteenth Route lost more than half, and even if they escaped by chance, they also lost their soldiers. Without a certain period of recovery, it is difficult to form a climate again.
It can be said that the whole world scolded Wen Hou miserably. Especially scolded him for treachery and vain.
But many more can only consider themselves unlucky and blind. Lu Bu has a good character, and the world doesn't know it.
The Kwantung princes formed an alliance with people like Lü Bu, and they completely trusted each other, and all the large battalions had almost no defense against Lü Bu and the state army. It was also expected that the Kwantung princes would have this encounter.
Lü Bu alone deposed the Kwantung princes, and the news was transmitted back to Chang'an. Everyone looked at their respective messengers in disbelief, how was this possible? How did Zhang Lie win over Lu Bu, or was it a game from the beginning.
In either case, Zhang Lie should not be underestimated.
On the main hall of Chang'an Palace, all the courtiers gathered together, although Emperor Han Xian sat on the dragon chair, but everyone did not care about Emperor Han Xian. Instead, he stared closely at Zhang Lie, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting half a step away from Emperor Han Xian.
"Feng Xian destroyed the Kwantung coalition army in one fell swoop, and made the Kwantung princes unable to rebel against the imperial court for a short time. How do you think we should reward Fengxian? ”
Zhang Lie half-squinted, and he didn't look at the expressions of the people below. Lu Bu, who was standing behind Huang Zhong, looked at Zhang Lie above with an excited expression. He remembered that Zhang Lie promised himself to be a general, but there was some unhappiness between the two, and he didn't know if the original promise was still valid.
Guo Jia was the head of the civil officials of Zhang Lie's army, and he did not speak, and no one else spoke. In fact, there are not too many thorns in the court now. As early as when he was in Luoyang, Dong Fatzi had already cleaned up some old stubborns, and when Dong Fatzi was ashamed to death, Luoyang fell into a short period of chaos, and some old stubborns died. Some of the remaining courtiers were originally waiting to arrive in Chang'an, and Zhang Lie would make decisions for those courtiers who died unjustly. After all, the Xiliang Army had no military discipline at the beginning, and burned and looted at will. There are many people in the world who do such things, but they all have to cover them up. But Xiliangjun has no scruples at all, and does what he wants. Especially now, many generals who have plundered are now standing in the court in a grand manner.
Two batches of old stubborns died, and the rest of this is not a matter at all. They can only be a response bucket, and they do what they decide. Do not put forward any constructive opinions, nor do you oppose any order of Prime Minister Zhang Lie.
Guo Jia glanced at Jia Xu and saw that his eyes were closed as if he was asleep. Looking at Lu Bu's excited face, he thought that the prime minister should have promised Lu Bu a small official.
"Fengxian is the first in the world in martial arts, and this time he has made such an extraordinary achievement. It should be rewarded, it should be rewarded! In this way, since He Jin, the Han Dynasty has not established the position of general for a long time. When Zhang Lie said this, everyone was shocked.
General, this position has not always been held by another relative. How could Lu Bu He De hold such an important position. Someone just wanted to object, and suddenly remembered what kind of court this was.
Guo Jia was also shocked, and the position of the general was not trivial. I just wanted to oppose it, but I thought that this was proposed by Zhang Lie himself, and with his ingenuity, it was impossible to make a mistake. So he must have his own ideas, and he is also clear about Zhang Lie, he rarely plays false, and rarely plays tricks with courtiers.
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "The minister agrees with the prime minister's opinion, Wenhou martial arts are unique in the world, one person can reach ten thousand troops, there is gentleness, and Chang'an is worry-free!" ”
Jia Xu also opened his mouth at this time and said, "Agreed!" ”
Li Ru didn't understand what was going on? People like Guo Jia and Jia Xu agreed, so it was hard that they couldn't see who Lu Bu was. Now promise such a high position, in case you are injured by the other party.
However, Li Ru is a smart person, since Zhang Lie opened his mouth, Guo Jiajia agreed. He was powerless to stop it, and he said it plainly, but he offended Lu Bu. Xiliang and the Bingzhou army did not deal with each other in the first place, and he broke Lu Bu's good deeds, and with his flaws and retribution, he would not be happy, and he had to beware of the other party's retaliation at any time.
"In this way, Feng Xian, you will leave the position of general for the time being, if it is not suitable, I will pick you up and give it to the right person!" Zhang Lie said slowly. Everyone knows that the dust has settled on Lu Bu's appointment as the general, and Lu Bu has officially replaced Huang Zhong and become the number one general under Zhang Lie.
"Bu bowed and died, and vowed to repay the grace of the prime minister." Lu Bu knelt on the ground, and did not face the young emperor Liu Xie, but kowtowed directly to Zhang Lie, and there were nine rings in one knock.
Many people felt that his actions were inappropriate. Although Zhang Lie controls the courtiers, he still has to do the face he deserves. Just like now, even if he becomes a general, even if he is grateful, he will thank His Majesty first, and then become the prime minister.
"Niu Fu has meritorious service in guarding His Majesty, and he is the general of Zhengxi!"
"Li Dao is the general of Zhengnan!"
"Huang Zhong is the general of Zhengdong!"
As soon as Zhang Lie spoke, he sealed the other three generals under his command by the way. Niu Fu and Li Dao are the two giants of Xiliang, and they are naturally grateful to Dade when they were appointed by Zhang Lie. It's Huang Zhong, General Ren Zhengdong, everyone is curious, is Huang Zhong going to fight.
Lü Bu was appointed as a general and stayed in Chang'an, and Huang Zhong left. In that case, in case Lu Bu rebels, isn't Chang'an unguarded?
"The world has been in turmoil for a long time, it's time to calm down and return the people to a bright future." Zhang Lie stood up and said, "Ordered General Zhengxi to lead 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the army Sima Li Ru formed the West Route Army to recover the hometown in the northwest!" ”
"No!" Li Ru didn't expect Zhang Lie to calm the world at this time. At the same time, thinking about the situation in the northwest, this battle is not easy to fight. But there is no way, since the prime minister asks for it, they can't shirk it at all.
"The great Sima Jia Xu and the general Li Dao of Zhengnan went out of Tongguan, took the land of Hanzhong, and entered the land of Shu."
"No!" Jia Xu and Li Dao are also big-headed, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is recognized as a hard bone in the world. If it's not good, you'll lose your troops here. Jia Xu suddenly had a headache, Zhang Lu is a magic stick, and he will definitely know some mysterious techniques, and it is likely that there will be a situation that is difficult for him to control at that time.
When Lu Bu listened to these appointments, his heart suddenly itched, and he wanted to make a great contribution to the prime minister. It's just that now that you are a general, whether you want to sit in the center or not, but a general who can't play, is naturally a pity. At this time, he suddenly felt that in fact, the general was not so good.
"General Lu Bu?" Zhang Lie said.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "Bu is here!" ”
"I order you to lead the people of your headquarters to get out of the Tiger Prison Pass and pacify the land of Kanto. In short, I ask all your armies to get all the land north of the Yangtze River at the end of the year! ”
