"Meet the Lord!"

Liu De led the soldiers and horses for ten days and finally arrived at Jinyang Pass, outside the city gate, Guan Yu led the generals to bow together.

Liu De turned over and dismounted, quickly reached out and helped the generals up one by one, looked at Yan He's hanging arm, and the gauze tied to Liu Tang's body, patted them on the shoulder, and praised: "I have generals, why worry about big things?" ”

The generals shouted in unison: "The ministers swear allegiance to the lord to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!" ”

"Good!"

Liu De was overjoyed, and then under the guidance of the generals, he went to the mansion, and then Liu De found that the guards around the street were very tight, at least twice as many guards as he normally traveled.

Of course, Liu De didn't think that the generals were going to harm him, so he asked: "Why are you so excited?" ”

Dai Zong replied: "Lord Qiqi, a few days ago, Che Ying, one of the eight great generals under the command of Guo Zidong, colluded with the Yang army outside the city, wanting to seek the city, although the Yang army has withdrawn, the chaos in the city has been decided, but the thief Che Ying fled, and the minister Jinyang dug three feet into the ground and failed to find the figure of Che Ying, for the safety of the lord, he had to strictly defend, and the minister did not do well, causing the thief to escape, and please punish the lord!" ”

Liu De pondered for a while and said, "Maybe Che Ying has already left Jinyang, but it's better to be careful and search strictly!" ”

Dai Zong's expression was furious, and he even claimed that it was.

When Liu De returned to the mansion, Guan Yu directly kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "The last general did not listen to what the military advisor said, and insisted on going his own way, causing our army to lose more than 8,000 soldiers, and please punish the lord!" ”

Liu De sat on the main seat, looked at Guan Yu kneeling in front of him, and thought about it again and again, on the way he already knew what happened, Guan Yu was arrogant, his achievements were impressive, and some of his achievements were inevitable.

That's a good thing, but it's too costly.

If Guan Yu is let go this time, and there will be such a thing in the future, how should it be handled? It will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and resentment in the hearts of the soldiers.

But it was not Liu De's intention to punish too much.

Liu De thought for a while, and then said: "Because Guan Yu insisted on going his own way, our army lost 8,000 soldiers, and according to military law, it should be severely punished, and Guan Yu was demoted to a lieutenant and fined for three years!" Guan Yu, are you convinced? ”

The rest of the generals all exclaimed, no one thought that Liu De would be so serious, after all, in their opinion, how can the march and fight always win?

If he was so harsh because of the defeat, he was directly demoted and fined for three years, almost depriving Guan Yu of two years of credit, who would have suffered it!

Xu Shu came out to intercede with Guan Yu and said: "Lord, people are not sages, who can do nothing, General Guan resisted 300,000 enemy troops with 40,000 troops, and tried to protect Jinyang from loss, but it is due to Yanzhou, and please punish the lord lightly!" ”

Jian Yong also came out and said: "Lord, although the enemy has retreated now, there are still more than 200,000 troops, complete armor, and will make a comeback, General Guan is familiar with the art of war, and the unified army is unsurpassed, and he has been fighting with the Yang army for several months, and he is already familiar with the situation of the enemy army. ”

Seeing this situation, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua also hurried out of the ranks, hoping that Liu De would be lightly dismissed.

"Lord, your punishment is a bit heavy, I think it's unfair!" Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his voice.

Liu Deyile, "This is not cutting off Guan Yu's head, you are excited!" Then he looked at Guan Yu: "Guan Yu, are you convinced?" ”

Guan Yu kowtowed and said: "The last general is convinced, and he is willing to be punished!" ”

"Good!"

Liu De got up, slapped him gently, helped Guan Yu up, looked around, took Guan Yu's hand and said to everyone: "As the saying goes, there is a meritorious reward, there is a punishment, since the punishment has been passed, then it should be rewarded, Guan Yu listens to the seal!" ”

Before Guan Yu could react, when he heard Liu De say about himself again, he quickly knelt down and paused: "The end will be!" ”

Liu Dedao: "Guan Yu since the siege of Dongyu has been relieved, running thousands of miles, going north to Yanshan, galloping to aid Leyang, attacking the enemy, Zhanwen County, breaking Liaocheng, galloping to aid Dongfu, killing countless generals, powerful Xiaoxiao, outstanding contributions, and now more with a small army to resist the enemy, it is really a great achievement!" ”

"Feng Guan Yu is the West Zhonglang General {six products}, rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, ten brocades, and ten pearls to show his merits! Continue to serve as the chief general of Jinyang and defend against enemy forces. ”

"The last general will thank the lord, and the last general will swear to die to repay the lord!"

Guan Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he sobbed.

Xu Shu only then understood Liu De's thoughts, the dark Dao lord is really powerful, which not only solves the problem of Guan Yu's dereliction of duty, but also convinces the generals, just now I was a little reckless.

The stones in the hearts of the other generals also fell to the ground, and they shouted in unison: "The lord is wise! ”

Liu De returned to the main seat and continued: "Zhang Tianlang stuck to Dongyu, protected Dongyu from the Hu people, sealed Zhang Tianlang as the general of Pingyu {Wupin}, and continued to serve as Dongyu Taishou {Wupin};

Liu Gui conquered several counties, took Daicheng, and named Liu Gui as the general of Anyuan, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Daicheng;

Yan Nan was the lieutenant of Liaocheng to ensure the safety of one party, and Feng Yannan was the lieutenant general of the Dianjun army {Liupin}, and continued to serve as the captain of Liaocheng {Liupin};

Bai Qi followed me to the south, repeatedly made military exploits, and named Bai Qi as the general of Pingyan {Wupin}.

Each was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and ten horses of brocade. ”

Liu De is now serving as the general of the chariot and the pastor of Yanzhou, and he is still one step away from reaching the peak of officials, which is the so-called prime minister, general, three simas and other positions.

On top is the king!

Since his own merits have been promoted, of course the generals under his command should be promoted, and they have worked hard for you, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, and sprout their descendants?

If you're stingy, who's going to follow you!

Including Zhang Tianlang, Liu Gui, Yan Nan, Bai Qi, and Guan Yu's positions are also based on Liu De's comprehensive consideration, Zhang Tianlang, as a veteran who follows his grandfather, has good ability and deep prestige, of course, he can't be missed.

And to take care of the ideas of the old people in Dongyu, Liu De continued to let Zhang Tianlang serve as the head of the generals. and grasped the military and political power of Dongyu to show his trust in him.

Liu Gui, as the righteous son of his grandfather, is loyal to himself, although his ability is poor, and the command of the army is average, but this is really his cronies, so Liu Gui was also promoted to a five-grade general, second only to Zhang Tianlang.

Bai Qi is at the same level as Liu Gui, but Bai Qi does not hold the position of Taishou, only the military position, so he ranks third.

Although Guan Yu's Xizhong Lang General and Yannan's Dianjun Zhonglang General are of the same level, it is customary that Xizhong Lang will be higher than the Dianjun Zhonglang General.

Because Yan Nan has been serving as the captain of Liaocheng, he has not made any achievements, and his slow promotion is understandable.

Guan Yu rose one place to fourth.

Yannan fifth.
