In the imperial city - on the Qilin Palace, the atmosphere is solemn, silent, the civil officials are thinking hard, their faces are full of clouds, the generals are helpless, scratching their ears and cheeks, everyone is so out of shape, because they have encountered a problem, a problem that must be faced - Xiao Lang's work, how to reward? Xiao Lang's merits are rewarded!

Since the rise of Cao Ying Group, it has made great efforts to govern internally, won many battles externally, and it only took seven or eight years to become the strongest force in the world, occupying the land of five states, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the princes of the Quartet, no one is invincible!

Who has contributed the most to such a great achievement...... Cao Cao is wise and martial, knows people and is good at his duties, he is the best leader, and he is also the first person in Wenzhi and martial arts, continue to rank down, everyone's answer is also very consistent: the second meritorious hero - Xiao Lang is the best!

Xiao Yi was resourceful, repeatedly offered strange strategies, resolved countless crises, as for the battlefield, it is incomparable, under the Sanfeng Mountain - defeated Yuan Shu, outside the city - besieged Lu Bu, captured Guanzhong, swept Xiliang ...... Invincible, invincible, half of the territory owned by Cao Ying was captured by Xiao Yi!

In the just-concluded decisive battle, Xiao Yi played a role, which can be called 'turning the tide', thinking back to the beginning, Yuan Shao waved his army south, stormed the Yellow River Pass, Sun Ce sent troops north, invaded the land of Huainan, Liu Biao, Zhang Lu, Xiqiang, Xiongnu...... They are all ready to move, wanting to get a piece of the pie, and in the face of the siege of the princes of the world, the Cao Ying Group is like a tired egg, and it is almost doomed!

At the time of life and death, Xiao Yi relied on the strategy and deceit to defeat Zhou Yu with less, and hit Sun Ce hard, Jiangdong lost more than half, and the material losses were countless, and he fled back in disgrace, not for three years and five years, he didn't want to recover his vitality, and the situation of the north-south attack was also a complete failure!

Next, Xiao Yi ran to Xuzhou again, from the pockets of the wealthy and powerful, he insisted on sending 100,000 loads of grain, all of which were sent to the front line of Guandu, which relieved the urgent need of the Cao army, otherwise, I don't know how many soldiers died of starvation, and then crossed the Yellow River at night, captured Liyang City, and cut off the retreat of Yuan's army in one fell swoop......

If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, it is a matter of course, Xiao Yi's military exploits are unparalleled, if you don't add a reward, it can't be said to be reasonable, the question is, how to reward this great hero?

Xiao Yi is twenty-six years old today, he is already an official worship-Da Sima, a knight-Wuxian countryman, with 3,000 households, among the hundreds of civil and military officials, who can compare with it, as for the soldiers and horses in charge, needless to say, Xuanjia Army, Modao Soldiers, Trap Camp, Danyang Soldiers, and Digger Army...... The world's elite, all in hand!

Young age, holding heavy soldiers, outstanding military achievements, high officials and lords, the world's Kyushu heroes, who can compete with Xiao Lang, open the history and take a look, in the more than 400 years of the two Han Dynasty, only the famous champion Hou Huo Quai, can shine before and after, go hand in hand!

However, Huo Qubing died young, only lived to be twenty-four years old, and disappeared in the long river of history, and saved a lot of trouble, Xiao Yi is different, strong and strong, no disease and no disaster, he can eat a roast lamb in one meal, drink two jars of spirits, and live for another seventy or eighty years, there is no problem at all, it is estimated that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been put into the ground, and he is still alive!

In the world of great controversy, the dragon and snake rise from the land, like a picturesque country, who is the master of ups and downs? --Xiao Yi is already a great Sima, and he has a heavy army in his hands, according to the speed of his rise, after twenty years, he can keep pace with Cao Cao, and after forty years, he will definitely be in charge of the world, and Xiao Lang's future is limitless!

Such a problem comes, don't reward Xiao Yi, I'm afraid that it will chill the heart of the hero, and the generals in the army will not agree, continue to reward Xiao Yi, his authority will inevitably increase, and I am afraid it will be difficult to restrain it in the future, you know, human nature is selfish, whether it is surnamed Liu or Cao, the rise of the surname Xiao is not allowed!

"Brush! -Brush! -Brush! ”

Thinking of the stakes, the civil and military officials shook their heads in unison, with their intelligence level, they can't solve this matter, if they are a little careless, they will also get into trouble, it is better to stand by and watch, as for Xiao Yi's reward, let the Prime Minister decide!

"Haha! - Xiao Lang sent troops to Huainan, defeated the little overlord Sun Ce, attacked Liyang City, cut off the retreat of the Yuan army, and made outstanding achievements, which is obvious to all. ”

On the top of the Nine Dragons Imperial Steps, Cao Cao stroked his long hair, looked up to the sky and laughed, looking arrogant and dry, but in his heart, he was secretly complaining, as Xiao Lang's father-in-law, it was really a lot of pressure!

Cao Cao's generation of traitors, his mind is as deep as the sea, he is in charge of the world's military and political affairs, and he is the most sensitive to power, how can he not know in his heart that Xiao Yi's power is too heavy, I am afraid it will be difficult to control it, and he has the intention to cut his authority and collect his elite soldiers, but after repeated weighing, he dare not do it for a long time!

First of all, Xiao Yi is invincible and invincible, he is a meritorious minister of the imperial court, and he is shrewd, he has always been a drop of water, and he can't grasp the handle at all, once he is not guilty and punished, I am afraid that it will shake people's hearts and have an adverse impact on Cao Ying Group!

Secondly, the world is in turmoil, Kyushu is undecided, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, Gongsun Du ...... If you want to pacify the princes from all walks of life, you also need Xiao Yi to lead the army into battle and conquer the city.

Finally, Xiao Yi has been in charge of soldiers and horses for many years, and his prestige in the army is extremely high, Ma Liu, Da Niu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cao Xing...... A group of powerful generals are subservient to him, once Cao Cao forcibly deprives him of military power, he is afraid that it will cause a mutiny, and the consequences will not be managed......

Since he couldn't cut off the military power, he had to try his best to win the hearts of the people, anyway, Xiao Yi is also the son-in-law of the Cao family, usually well-behaved and obedient, sticking to the way of the courtiers, and not showing the slightest objection, thinking of this, Cao Cao took out a holy decree from his arms, which was a reward for Xiao Yi......

First, the title of Xiao Yi's 'First Warrior of the Han Dynasty' was only circulated privately in the army and the people before, and it was not officially recognized, but now in the name of the Han Dynasty, the official canonization title is definitely a great honor!

In addition, Cao Cao personally wrote down the six words "the first warrior of the Han Dynasty", which was carved into a gold plaque and hung on the gate of the Wuchou Mansion, with six pairs of iron halberds inserted on both sides to show off the unparalleled military exploits!

Second, give the privilege of 'sword walking on the temple, visiting the nameless', according to the Han family system, when the civil and military officials go to the court, they must **** their feet, be unarmed, and shout their names, official positions, and titles...... In order to show respect for the imperial power, only the old and important ministers of the three dynasties can wear a pair of thin socks, which is a great favor!

Now it's okay, after having the privileges, Xiao Yi can wear boots, hold a sword, and go directly to the palace to face the king, such a special treatment, in the history of the two Han Dynasty, only Xiao He, Huo Guang, Liang Ji, and Dou Xian...... Several ministers have gotten it, and they have counted it on two hands, and now they have the right to hold the sword to the palace, the first is Prime Minister Cao Cao, and the second is Xiao Yi!

As soon as the above two rewards came out, it was really glorious, and immediately caused a sensation, the ministers whispered, there were those who praised them, those who envied them, and there were countless people who were jealous, but none of them spoke out against them, because of Xiao Lang's merits, it was worth this reward!

Then again, no matter how high the glory is, after all, the face is smoother, and it doesn't help the right, this is also a means of traitor, the right is not given to the name, the name is not given to the right, and the disguised restriction of Xiao Yi, of course, it can't be a little bit of benefit, the third reward is - 'Give the food to ten thousand households, choose your own fiefdom! ’

During the Qin and Han dynasties, in order to commend meritorious ministers, they would often be given a fief, and the ministers could levy taxes, mobilize people, and have the power of life and death over the residents.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes have fought for hegemony, the wars have continued, the lives of the world have been devastated, the population of the people has decreased sharply, as for the food of civil and military officials, it is also in vain, according to the Han family system, the marquis's food is 1,000 households, in fact, there can be 300 households, you can steal the fun, only a very small number of heroes, the number of food is enough, such as Da Sima Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi's military achievements are outstanding, he is named 'Marquis of Wushou', and he has 3,000 households of food and towns, and there is no water at all, which makes the ministers very envious, but Xiao Yi's food is a bit special - famous but landless, tax but nobody!

According to the Han family system, the title of the hero is often associated with the food yi, for example, Guo Jia's knighthood of 'Marquis of Weiyang Pavilion' is to use 'Weiyang Pavilion' as a fief, and most of the civil and military officials are like this, but there is also a special situation, that is, honorary knighthood!

Another famous general, Wei Qing, married the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - Princess Changping, so he was awarded the title of "Marquis of Changping", both of which belong to honorary titles and have nothing to do with the fiefdom they own!

Xiao Yi is the same, because the military exploits are too great, Cao Cao, in order to reward the love generals, according to the examples of Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing, took his 'table character' as the name, and added the title of Wuwu Xianghou to show his honor and favor, which is unique in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!

Therefore, Xiao Yi has the title of marquis of the township, and receives taxes from 3,000 households every year, but he has no actual food estate, and he does not have to manage the people.

Now it's okay, Prime Minister Cao Cheng rewarded the heroes, not only gave 10,000 households, far more than hundreds of civil and military officials, but even the specific location of the food estate, let Xiao Yi choose by himself, that is to say, he took a fancy to that place, that is the Xiao family's private fiefdom!

"Please Da Sima hold the wolf hair, circle 10,000 households, and the officials will handle the paperwork, and hand over the household registration register!"

Several attendants walked up to the main hall and opened a pair of cowhide scrolls, which were the 'map of the Han Dynasty', with mountains, rivers, lakes, and cities...... Clearly marked, at a glance, there is another attendant holding pen and ink, just waiting for Xiao Yi to order food!

"The five counties of Xuzhou are extremely rich, and there are benefits of fishing and salt, Da Sima must choose there, absolutely fat and oily!"

"The Guanzhong Plain, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, abundant products, and steep mountains and rivers, is probably the best place, right?"

"The land of Jianghuai, densely populated, with many lakes, is known as the 'land of fish and rice', and the tax revenue of a county is three times that of other places, this is the land where thousands of gold are not exchanged!"

……………………………………………………

On the top of the Jinluan Palace, personally circle the fiefdom, such a rich reward, it is absolutely unprecedented, the eyes of the civil and military officials are red, and they can't wait to snatch the wolf pen, and also circle a fief for themselves, but unfortunately there is no credit for anyone!

In addition, the civil and military officials whispered, all speculating that Xiao Yi's food would choose that place, the same 10,000 households, some places are rich in flowing oil, and some places eat bran vegetables, this is not sloppy at all, even Cao Cao is concentrating, wanting to see how big his son-in-law's appetite is?

"The court is rewarded, I don't dare to refuse, the last general is a little greedy, so I chose this place as a food eup!"

Xiao Yi took the wolf's pen, his eyes were like electricity, his pen was like a knife, and he drew a circle on the map, as for the location of the food--- Youzhou-Yuyang County, Hebei!
