Chapter 478: Twenty-Four Counties Taishou (I)

This canonization is unlike any other.

First of all, Liu Hongzhi had been canonized before, but he had never canonized the state pastor, but this time he canonized eight at one time.

It is important to know that the history of thorns and the state pastor are not the same concept.

The assassin only has the authority to supervise, while the state pastor is in charge of the military and political affairs of a state, and is a real feudal official.

In addition, even the one-word princes were also sealed, and the county marquis was also sealed.

Marquis such as Tingli County only have food eup, while ancient character marquis like Jin Yan are princes and have fiefs.

In his own fiefdom, the prince is the emperor of the soil, and he can do whatever he wants, and the court cannot interfere.

In the end, Liu Hong canonized all of the eight powerful generals in the four expeditions and four towns at one time, which is the real big deal.

Obviously, Liu Hong also realized that the power of the Han Dynasty alone was not enough to control the world, and it was becoming more and more difficult to even restrain the princes under his command.

The strength of the princes has surpassed that of the imperial court, and if the lord is weak and the servant is strong for a long time, will the princes still listen to the imperial court?

Definitely not.

Therefore, Liu Hong can only use the addition of officials to the knighthood and the way of dividing the feudal to win the hearts of a group of foreign ministers, and at the same time buy time for the imperial court.

Of course, in order to ensure the dominance of the Han Dynasty, four of the eight state pastors canonized by Liu Hong were Han clan relatives.

You must know that among the four Han clan relatives, Liu Yan, Liu Yao, and Liu Dai have not made much credit at all, and Liu Yu is okay when he arrives, but he is still not as good as anyone who is not surnamed Liu.

But no one can object to this result, after all, who made the surname Liu? Fate has always been unequal.

For these eight state pastors, Liu Hong is still relatively relieved for the time being.

Qin Wen is a family member, Huangfu Song Ding Yuan is loyal to the party, and he is willing to sacrifice his military power at any time, but what really worries Liu Hong is actually only Dong Zhuo.

However, considering that when the imperial court was in trouble, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate at all, and directly led the 200,000 Liangzhou Junqin King, Liu Hong could barely trust Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, the real role of canonizing the eight state pastors is actually to let these eight state pastors restrain the Taishou under their command.

Liu Hong's first canonization also spread a signal of reward, which made Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other generals who had made great contributions also feel hot in their hearts.

Although the big head has been occupied by the eight major state pastors, the remaining small heads are also very tempting to them, so they are all looking forward to Liu Hong's next reward.

After the four generals accepted the canonization, they all led their troops and horses to leave Luoyang, after all, the situation on the frontier was even more critical.

Considering the weakness of Luoyang's troops, Dong Zhuo left Li Shimin to lead an army of 50,000 to serve in front of the saint, and he himself led the remaining Liangzhou army back to quell the rebellion.

In order to defend against the Xiongnu, Qin Wen also returned to Bingzhou and settled in Jinyang City, Taiyuan County, the seat of Bingzhou.

When the Yanmen army went south, there were 30,000 iron cavalry, but when they returned, there were only 3,000 left, which shows how tragic this battle was.

The Xianbei and Wuhuan clans were powerful, so Liu Yu and Huangfu Song formed a Youji alliance to publicly resist the invasion of the Xianbei and Wuhuan clans.

Soon after the four generals left Luoyang, Liu Hong carried out a second canonization, and this time it was dominated by the state taishou.

Youzhou has a total of 10 counties and 78 counties in the country, except for the three counties in the northeast that are occupied by Wuhuan, among the remaining counties, only the position of Taishou of a county in Beiping is vacant.

Gongsun Zhan was originally the lieutenant of Liaodong County, and he made a lot of contributions to the south this time, so he was named the Taishou of Beiping;

Jizhou has a total of 99 counties in three counties and six countries, of which Wei County, Bohai, Hejian, Changshan, and Qinghe are still in the hands of the Han army, while Julu, Anping, Zhaoguo, and Zhongshan are all under the control of Dou Jiande.

Although Han Fu's performance was average this time, his son Han Xin made great contributions, so Han Fu was named the Taishou of Hejian and the Marquis of Lecheng; Han Xin was named General Fenwei.

Yuan Shao had merit and merit in this battle, but on the whole, his merit outweighed his fault, so he was named the Taishou of Bohai and the Marquis of Qixiang;

Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, who surrendered, were named Changshan and Qinghe Taishou, naturally in order to let them and Dou Jiande eat dogs.

As for Wei County, the only place that has not been canonized, it is naturally the territory of Jizhou Muhuang Fu Song.

The state has nine counties and 91 counties, after the state pastor Qin Wen entered the main seat of Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Taiyuan five counties are under the rule of Qin Wen, only Shangdang, Shangjun, Xihe, Shuofang four counties are still lacking Taishou.

Wang Shichong, who surrendered, was named the Taishou of the Shangdang, and happened to form a horn trend with Chen Youliang of Changshan and Zhang Shicheng of Qinghe, and attacked Dou Jiande with each other;

Zhang Yang was named the Taishou of Shangjun; Yuan Yi was named Xihe Taishou, and Wang Kuang was named Shuofang Taishou.

Qingzhou has a total of 65 counties in two counties and four countries, except for the two counties of Pingyuan and Beihai, most of which are still in the hands of the Han army, while Jinan, Le'an, Donglai, and Qi are all under the control of Huangchao.

Liu Bei was crowned as the Taishou of the Plains because of his merit and Lu Zhi's care.

Although he went to the plains as in the original history, Liu Bei's treatment this time was a hundred times better than in the original history, after all, the plain country and the plain county are not the same concept.

Song Jiang is still as sad as ever, only Beihai County is left in Qingzhou, but Taishou is Kong Rong.

Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius, and with Confucianism as a backer, Song Jiang will definitely not be able to squeeze it out.

Qingzhou no longer has a chassis that can be assigned to Song Jiang, but the imperial court wants to use the power of Liang Shang to control Huangchao, so in order to appease Song Jiangcai, Liangshan was specially set up as a county, and Song Jiang was given a Liangshan Taishou;

Taking advantage of the war, Song Jiang also gathered a lot of Hebei refugees, and after conquering the surrounding counties, Liangshan is now set up as a county.

It's just that the Liangshan army paid the price of most of the casualties, but in the end it only got a Liangshan Taishou, so what is Liangshan's plan to take refuge in the Han?

Not only the heroes in Liangshan couldn't accept it, but even Song Jiang couldn't accept it, but now that the big Han has won, the yellow turban has also been offended to death, so what can Song Jiang do?

Song Jiang could only be cheeky to appease the Liangshan brothers, but in his heart, he had a trace of resentment towards the Han and Liu Hong who still didn't pay attention to him.

After the county guards were in place, they immediately organized the forces of the whole county to support the state pastors in fighting against the aliens.

Qin Wen led his subordinates to the four major guards, and after arriving at Yanmen Pass, he found that although the Xiongnu were strong, they did not seem to have the intention of attacking the city, so the combined state coalition army confronted the Xiongnu army at Yanmen Pass.

The Xiongnu are indeed pretending, but Xianbei and Wuhuan are real.

In the face of more than 300,000 Hu cavalry, the Jiyou coalition army could only barely defend until Liu Bei and Song Jiang of Qingzhou arrived, and the Sanzhou coalition army was finally able to compete with it.

It wasn't until Han Xin saw the right time and designed an ambush for Xianbei Shan Yu that the catastrophe was finally resolved.
