Chapter Seventy-Seven

"Haha, good! is a good Changshan Zhao Zilong, he is really full of courage, and this is enough to leave a name in history, and he will definitely be able to achieve the general exploits of the champion in the future. Although Zhao Yun's language was plain and simple, Liu Xie could imagine the scene at that time, and couldn't help but praise it.

Zhao Yun was frightened by Liu Xie's words, and achieved the merits of the champion Hou, which can only be looked up to, but he really didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly knelt down to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty!" How can the grass people be virtuous, how dare they compare with the champion Hou, and they can't afford to be loved by His Majesty. ”

Liu Xie said with a smile: "Juxian does not avoid relatives, Li Aiqing has done a good job this time, I am optimistic about you Zhao Yun, I said that you can do it, you must do it, you have the courage and martial arts, dare to break into the Hun army alone, in the land of my Han family, ask how many people dare to do it, how many people can do it." ”

was said by the Son of Heaven, Zhao Yun unconsciously straightened his body more straight, and there was really a pride and arrogance in his chest, and he even had some identification with the Son of Heaven, the so-called death of a confidant.

The Son of Heaven in front of him is at least a person who understands himself.

"So! In view of this, I have decided to temporarily grant you the position of captain of the Yue Cavalry, you have been in the White Horse Yicong in Youzhou, and you should have unfamiliar experience in training and commanding cavalry, and it just so happens that Hedong lacks talents in this area. Liu Xie gave Zhao Yun a high position with a wave of his hand, and now there are a lot of war horses captured, and there is a lack of people who have been trained to form it.

Zhao Yun was flattered, although he was recommended by Li Yan and also made some contributions in this battle, but it was really unexpected to be in such an important position this time.

This was something he didn't dare to think about.

In Gongsun Zhan's place, he worked hard, fought hundreds of big and small battles, and the result was only a low-level military academy-level petty officer, which still saved Gongsun Zhan's life once.

As a result, as soon as the Son of Heaven was so valued here, he was really excited and a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! This can not be done, Yun Cun has not made any achievements, and he has no experience in leading troops to fight before, how can this convince the public. ”

Liu Xie walked over, held Zhao Yun's hand, held it up and said: "There is no need to postpone, here in me, the capable are up, the mediocre are down, I believe in my own vision, and I believe that you have this kind of self-confidence, you can do a good job, if anyone is not satisfied, you can challenge you, as long as you can win, I will award him the position of captain of Yue Cai." ”

Liu Xie's words have come to this point, and Zhao Yun didn't dare to postpone it, so he immediately gave a sonorous order: "Minister, I dare not let down Your Majesty, and I will definitely help Your Majesty train an army capable of fighting." ”

Next, Liu Xie chatted with Zhao Yun about the idea of forming a cavalry, exchanged opinions, and told him to boldly let it go, and if there is any difficulty, you can go directly to him.

Zhao Yun left, and soon Jia Xu also got rid of Li Yan and the others, and when he heard about Zhao Yun, he came over and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that you just appointed Zhao Yun as the captain of the Yue cavalry and led the formation of cavalry. ”

Liu Xie nodded: "What!" Does Aiqing think it's inappropriate, thinking that Zhao Yun is not qualified enough, or is she afraid that I will see Li Yan's relationship as a relative. ”

Jia Xu replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this minister is not worried, Zhao Yun is a person with extremely high martial arts and is not inferior to Li Yan, this minister has heard and seen, and the minister feels that His Majesty's approach to handing over the cavalry to him is right, after all, he has entered the White Horse Yicong in Youzhou, and he should have some experience in commanding the formation of cavalry."

However, the minister did not approve of all the cavalry in one place, and the minister felt that General Xu Huang should continue to retain some of the cavalry. ”

More than 4,000 horses!

This is a cavalry, how can a person who has just come to serve and has not yet shown loyalty be in charge, Jia Xu felt that the Son of Heaven's heart was a little big, and he had to remind him, now he is very optimistic about the Son of Heaven, although this reminder is somewhat contrary to his code of conduct, but he also has to come over hard.

He didn't want the advantages he had won so hard to win would be ruined under the child's playful appointment.

Liu Xie understood what Jia Xu meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Aiqing, don't worry, I didn't say that I would hand over all the cavalry to Zhao Yun, he is the captain of the Yue cavalry, but the captain is still the captain, for the time being, I will only allocate 1,600 war horses with him to see if he really has the ability to lead well."

As for Xu Huang...... This time, he was promoted to the general of Beizhonglang, led the general of Pingbei, and commanded the two armies of infantry and cavalry. ”

When Jia Xu heard this arrangement, he was immediately relieved, it seems that the Son of Heaven is not carried away, he is not arrogant, all this is not acting indiscriminately according to preferences, it is planned.

At the same time, I am happy for Xu Huang, the original Xu Huang is the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and now he has directly become a Zhonglang general, and he is a general who is not allowed to be in Zheng'er Bajing.

That's worth more than any miscellaneous general.

"Oh! By the way, this time all the secretaries have made great and small contributions, and I will reward them sparingly, and I plan to promote Li Yanzhu to the rank of captain of Fengche and lead the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard;

Wang Yi has meritorious service in defending the city, and he is named the general of Anbei, and you will add a general of Dongzhong Lang to lead Shang Shuling. Liu Xie thought about it and said the reward for this battle.

Jia Xu hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

In fact, Jia Xu's contribution this time is quite large, but in addition to Dongzhonglang's reward for this loose official, leading Shang Shuling to Hedong has always been Jia Xu's work.

Jiangyi City, defeated Liu Bao, defeated the southern raid of the Huns, and Liu Xie led people to the first big city in the north of the county.

The Han army won the battle, and it was a great victory, and the people of the whole city cheered and celebrated, and the entire Hedong was boiling all at once.

As soon as the Son of Heaven came to Hedong, he directly smashed the southern plundering of the Huns, crippled a Xiongnu king, and captured another king alive.

The people all sang praises to Liu Xie from their hearts, and the people's hearts gathered together, and their prestige increased greatly.

This big victory, to ensure that this year the Huns are not afraid to come, next year also to weigh it, for the stability of Hedong has made an indelible contribution, without the North Gate Xiongnu disturbance, the whole Hedong can develop with peace of mind.

Next, Liu Xie continued to issue decrees, and the whole county built water conservancy, cultivated fields, and repaired houses to prepare for production in the coming year.

At the same time, it continued to recruit troops, expanding the army to 20,000 infantry and cavalry. The newly recruited recruits are training and ploughing the fields at the same time.

While waiting for Yu Fuluo to send someone to pay the ransom, Liu Xie refocused his attention on the south and east.

To the south is Bingzhou, which is the territory of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, who controls Taiyuan County and Shangdang County and although it is not a rich place, the geographical location is very strategic.

With Shangdang, you can go south to Hanoi and threaten Wei County in Jizhou, and with Taiyuan County, you can directly send troops to Changshan County and other places, strategically leaning eastward, and have the advantage of the highlands of King Qin sweeping Liuhe.

However, Yuan Shao will definitely not be happy, and he will increase his troops to fight, and then it will be a big battle, and he will not be able to resist it with his current soldiers.

It is still necessary to kill Li Dao and Zhang Ji in Guanzhong first, take back the grain and grass in Guanzhong first, and manage it well, so that the money and grain can continue to expand the army and train the army.

This winter, and even next year's spring and summer, is not suitable for combat, and it is necessary to focus on economic development, so Hedong has half a year to rest.
