Chapter 415: Four Years in the Blink of an Eye (Part I)

The battle of Yizhou completely made Gao Shun sit on the title of the world's first general.

In the past, when people mentioned Gao Shun, although they also knew that he was the general of Cao Ying, leading an invincible camp, but whenever someone talked about who was the first general in the world, the final result was mostly disagreement, and there was no definite answer.

Gao Shun, Zhang He, and Xiahou Yuan in Cao Ying, and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong's camp, the military capabilities of these famous generals are comparable in the eyes of the world, and they are indistinguishable. Sometimes, even the two monarchs, Cao Cao and Sun Jian, are involved when people talk about famous generals.

And now, after Gao Shun led a small number of troops to cross the 'Yin' level and conquered Chengdu City in one fell swoop, although it cannot be said that it is recognized by 100% of the people, in the hearts of the vast majority of people, they have recognized Gao Shun's identity as the first general in the world.

Counting his past deeds, one can find that the wealth of his military exploits is unparalleled. Guarding Yanzhou, aiding Xuchang, breaking Xianbei, fighting Liu Bei, and cutting Longshu, these achievements add up, not to mention the generals of the world, even if you look at the past and the present, there are few people who can do it.

Although Chengdu can be conquered, luck also accounts for a large proportion, if there is no reinforcements from Zhao Yun, without the 'intervention' of the Jiangdong Army, and even Gao Shun has been wiped out. However, no matter how you assume, the established facts will not change, and the capture of Yizhou, Gao Shun is definitely a well-deserved first achievement.

Gao Shun was awarded the general of the chariot and cavalry because of his merits, and he was awarded the marquis of Changping, and there were 15,000 households.

Above the general of the cavalry, although there are two positions of hussar general and general, but the post of general is concurrently held by Cao 'Cao', who is the Duke of Wei, and the position of hussar general is vacant.

Even Sun Jian, the lord of Jiangdong, was not as good as Gao Shun in his generals.

The title of Marquis of Changping should not be underestimated, and the one who was once named Marquis of Changping was the famous general Wei Qing of the Western Han Dynasty.

Gao Shun and Zhao Yun were very active in the battle of Shu, and people like Huang Zhong and Zhang Heke were very depressed. They were also in high spirits before the battle, looking forward to doing a good job, but the final result was that after they led their army to confront the defenders outside the Sword Pavilion Pass for nearly two months, the enemy surrendered without a fight.

From beginning to end, there was no room for them and their troops to exert their strength, let alone how strong the depression was. Although Cao 'Cao' still greatly promoted their positions and gave them titles and wealth and land when they were rewarded for their meritorious deeds afterwards, as a general, it was a pity that they could not fight on the battlefield after all.

Both of them regret it, why didn't they 'stand up' and take on the task of stealing the 'yin' level, this is not for the so-called credit, they just want to have a good fight!

Compared with the two generals, Sima Yi and Lu Xun are much calmer, after all, these two are strategists, and it is enough for the final ending to be perfect. In addition, they have also received a lot of rewards for their merits, so they are naturally satisfied.

Of course, Huang Zhong and Zhang He are not the most depressed, and there is one person who is much more miserable than them.

After Cao Zhang came to the Sword Pavilion Pass, like Huang Zhong and Zhang He, he didn't get the slightest battle. Although it was precisely because he led the army to Jiange Pass that Zhao Yun passed the 'Yin' Ping to rescue Gao Shun, it can be said that Cao Zhang had a great role in promoting the final victory, but because he went to Yizhou 'privately' against the military order, he did not receive any reward in the end, but was scolded by Cao 'Cao' and cut a lot of fields, which can be described as the most tragic one among the generals.

After getting Yizhou, Cao 'Cao' appointed a new Yizhou Assassin, and the candidate for the Assassin was unexpected by everyone, which surprised them greatly.

The Yizhou assassin appointed by Cao 'Cao' turned out to be the demoted general Li Yan!

Li Yan had spent some time in Yizhou and had some knowledge of the local situation. And his apostasy also made the local forces reject him, so he didn't have to worry about too much entanglement between him and those big families in Yizhou. It can be said that Li Yan's position as the assassin of Yizhou is relatively appropriate.

Of course, just in case, Cao 'Cao' still transferred most of the officials in Yizhou to other places, and re-sent a group of officials to Shu to work.

Among them, Cao 'Cao' sent Sima Yi to Shu and served as the governor of Yizhou. Zhizhong is engaged in a position, and his status in a state is second only to the history of assassination, so it can be said that Sima Yi is the deputy assigned by Cao 'Cao' to Li Yan.

Cao 'Cao' originally had other candidates, and it was Gao Shun who recommended Sima Yi to go to Yizhou. Gao Shun knew that the descendants of Sima Yi had usurped the foundation of the Wei State, and although history had changed greatly now, he was still wary of seeing Sima Yi. Rather than let him stay in the center, it is better to let him go out and let him lack the opportunity to improve his status in the center.

The foundation of the Sima family is in Hanoi, and there are also many scholars in Yizhou, and these scholars have some exclusivity. What's more, there is also a Li Yan above Sima Yi, although Li Yan's ability is not the top in this era, but he is also a talent. Therefore, even if Sima Yi develops in Yizhou, it is difficult to do anything wrong, which is Gao Shun's consideration.

And Sima Yi himself will not be dissatisfied with this transfer, after all, he is just an ordinary civil official now, and it is impossible for him to have any great ambitions at the moment. From today's position to the status of the deputy of a state, it can be regarded as a very significant improvement, and it is too late for Sima Yi to be grateful, so how can he be resentful.

Regarding Gao Shun's recommendation, Cao 'Cao' agreed without much consideration. After all, Sima Yi is indeed talented, and Gao Shun is his brother-in-law, so why not sell him face.

Yan Yan was escorted to Xuchang after seeing the capture, and at first he wanted to die of hunger strike, but Cao 'Cao' went to the prison to release him in person, and promised him that if he did not want to serve himself, he could leave on his own.

Although Yan Yan was moved by this move, he did not surrender to Cao and still wanted to leave Xuchang. However, when Yan Yan left the city, Cao 'Cao' came in person and gave him a rich coil and a good horse. Seeing that Cao '' so kindly, Yan Yan finally burst into tears, thinking that he was a sixty-year-old man, and he had to value it so much, how could he still have a reason not to be effective.

In the end, Yan Yan joined Cao's command.
