Chapter 275 On Meritorious Deeds and Rewards, Increasing Officials and Becoming Knights (II)

"Historical Records - Yan Shijia" records: In the early days of the Warring States Period, the Seven Heroes competed for hegemony, King Yan Zhao recruited talents, made great efforts, defeated the Donghu tribe, opened up more than 1,000 miles of territory, built the Great Wall to town the territory, and set up Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong...... The name of the county, Yuyang County, for the first time, has been recorded, because it is located on the north bank of Yushui, according to the rule of 'south of the mountain, north of the water' for the yang, so it is named 'Yuyang County!' ’

After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, abolished the division of the feudal, the county county, set up 36 counties, Yuyang County is among them, because of the special geographical location, the defense line of the Great Wall in the east, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the Huns, hundreds of years of time, frequent battles, fighting constantly, thus cultivating the Yuyang boy - brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death character!

Xiao Yi was a native of the Red Dynasty in his previous life, and the imperial capital, as a thousand-year-old city, has a strong history and culture, and also has many names: Beijing, Beiping, Jingshi, Dadu, Zhongdu, Yanjing...... And its first name happens to be - Yuyang County, as evidenced by ancient poems: "First there is Yuyang County, and then there is Yanjing Mansion, the soldiers must fight for land, and the imperial city for thousands of years!" ”

After crossing over, Xiao Yi followed the old Taoist master, it was in Yuyang County - Wohu Mountain, peace of mind cultivation for several years, diligent practice of literary and martial arts, and met a group of good friends, therefore, in Xiao Yi's heart, has always taken Yuyang County as his hometown, every time he goes into battle to fight, when he reports to his home, he always yells: 'I am Yuyang-Xiao Lang is also!' ’

Han Dynasty - Official Records: Da Sima Xiao Yi, the word is not worried, Youzhou - Yuyang County people's clan, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty - after Xiao He, for the twentieth generation of the Xiao family, the name of the parents is unknown, since childhood to learn Taoism, learn strange arts, Wen can write to settle the world, Wu can leap the horse to set the world......

Chinese people have the habit of loving their families, paying attention to 'the tree is a thousand feet high, the leaves fall back to the roots', no matter how much merit is made, but also to return to the hometown to show off, heroes such as the overlord of Chu - Xiang Yu, after the destruction of the violent Qin, still returned to Pengcheng, accepted the praise of Jiangdong's father, and also said a famous saying: 'Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night, who knows?' ’

Xiao Yiguanbai - Da Sima, Jue Feng - Wuwu Xianghou, high and powerful, holding heavy soldiers, saying that it is a success, it is not too much, now that there is a good opportunity, it is human nature to choose his hometown as a fief, but there are two special features that make this matter difficult to do......

First of all, Prime Minister Cao Cheng rewarded the meritorious ministers and allocated 10,000 households as Xiao Yi's private food, which sounds like a lot, but on the map of the Han Dynasty, it is just a place of projectiles, and it can be circled with a tap of the tip of a brush!

However, Xiao Yi's hand was steady, accurate, and ruthless, and under the rotation of the wolf's pen, he drew a big circle, not to mention Yuyang County, not to mention the land of Shanggu and Youbeiping County, which was also circled into more than half, comparable to the territory of a prince and king, at least 30,000 or 40,000 households, it can really be described as a lion's big mouth!

Secondly, Yuyang County belongs to Youzhou, Qing, You, Hebei, and the four prefectures are all under the control of Yuan's father and son, although the Guandu War was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of horses were lost, but the Yuan family has deep roots and still occupies the land of the four states, and the decrees of the Han court cannot be implemented!

Now that Xiao Yi has chosen Yuyang County as his private food town, the imperial court has no actual governing power, and there is no household registration register, so it is impossible to allocate the population at all, besides, from ancient times to the present, who has divided the fief on the enemy's side, isn't this a joke?

"Although Yuyang County is the territory of the Han Dynasty, the local household registration register is not in the hands of the imperial court, and the private fief of Da Sima is not a different place, and this circle is a little bigger......

Seeing the black circle on the map, several waiters couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that Da Sima was playing a prank, all of them were kind words and persuasions, hoping to change places, and they could also allocate household registration!

"Huh! - Yuyang Ancient County, beautiful mountains and rivers, simple folk customs, is a treasure of feng shui, this big Sima has made up his mind, resolutely not to change the private fiefdom! ”

Xiao Yi threw back the wolf pen and stood proudly on the main hall to show that he would never change it, and chose Yuyang County as a fief, which was well thought out, and it was not a prank, but a way to protect himself!

Since ancient times, there have been three taboos for those who are ministers: first, the merit is too high, and the power is shocking; the second is to hold the power in his hands, and the tail is not big; the third is that the prince is incompetent and difficult to control; Very unlucky, Xiao Yi has been tossing for a few years, and he has committed all three taboos, and he is in an extremely dangerous situation, if he is not careful, he will be in great trouble!

If you want to resolve the crisis, there are two ways, one is like a strategist - Fan Li, after the completion of the great success, immediately retreat bravely, as long as you withdraw from the power game, you will naturally be safe and sound, what makes people depressed is that Xiao Yi can't do it, the princes are fighting for hegemony, the world is in chaos, and now living in seclusion in the mountains is equivalent to giving up the dream of life and being a deserter halfway?

Besides, Xiao Yi is not alone, there are also a group of brothers in life and death, Ma Liu, Da Niu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Wei Xu...... All of them are in important positions, holding military power, and they are all trying to win wealth and nobility, even if Xiao Yi has the intention to go into hiding, these people will not agree, and they will cause a lot of trouble!

The second way, follow the story of 'Tian's Warqi', move forward bravely, and replace it, as long as you are the master of your own house, you don't have to be afraid of anything, and in Xiao Yi's heart, there is also a flame burning, dreaming of expanding the territory and establishing a 'Xiao Dynasty', and after a few years, it will also be mixed with the title of 'Founding Taizu', which is quite face-saving!

What makes people even more depressed is that this road can't go through, Cao Cao is in the prime of life, Wen Tao is strategic, at the peak of his life, firmly in control of the authority of the world, and wants to replace the traitor in the troubled times, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, according to the development of the general trend of the world, at least within 20 years, Xiao Yi still has to be obedient!

Have the heart to live in seclusion, there is no way back, want to move forward, the boulder blocks the way, Xiao Yi's current situation is like walking on a cliff, as long as he takes a wrong step, he will be crushed immediately, if he wants to save his life, there is only one way - balance left and right, and seek up and down!

Choosing 'Yuyang County' as a fief is Xiao Yi's power trick, he is taking this opportunity to remind everyone that although the Yuan father and son have suffered defeat, they are hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, they still occupy the land of Hebei, control millions of people, and can recruit troops and horses at any time and make a comeback...... There are also Jiangdong Sun Ce, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu...... Divide the city, hold heavy troops, that can't be underestimated!

Pacifying the world's Kyushu is like hunting, before the fox and rabbit are calmed down, the falcon cannot be restrained, as long as the princes divide one side and the war continues, Xiao Yi can take charge of the soldiers and horses, continue to fight everywhere, and his situation will be temporarily safe!

In addition, Xiao Yi chose Yuyang County, and he clearly told Cao Cao that he had no ambitions, and only wanted to return to his hometown to show off after pacifying the world, at best, he was on the same level as Xiang Yu, and he belonged to a small fortune that was safe, and he did not have the courage of Han Gaozu Liu Bang-Weijia Hainei and ruled the world, your old man can rest assured, don't doubt your son-in-law, this is not right!

In addition to political factors, Xiao Yi also has deep feelings for his hometown, don't look at Yuyang County - located in the frontier, the environment is harsh, and the people live in poverty, but with the development of history, it will become an important town in the north and affect the process of the general trend of the world!

Especially after a thousand years, Yuyang County has become the imperial capital, densely populated, prosperous and rich, the land is extremely precious, almost every inch of land is gold, Xiao Yi is now deployed in advance, even if the descendants are defeated, they can also leave a little family foundation, and when the time comes, they will not worry about not having a house, and they will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law...... Hehe!

"Haha! - Xiao Lang misses his hometown, this is the normal feeling of people, it is not too much, the old man agreed, and after the pacification of Hebei, Yuyang County was divided into Xiao's fiefdom, and future generations will be hereditary! ”

As a superior, he is not afraid of his subordinates' requests, but he is afraid that his subordinates have no desires and no demands, seeing Xiao Yi asking for a county of land, Cao Cao not only got angry, but looked up to the sky and laughed, and happily agreed!

The traitor calculated clearly in his heart, if he wanted to pacify the princes, he had to charge into battle with Xiao Yi, compared with Kyushu in the world, the land of a county is nothing, besides, his daughter is pregnant with Liujia, and she is also a baby boy, and she will be the heir of the Xiao family in the future, no matter how many benefits Xiao Yi is given, it will eventually be left to his grandson, and there is also the blood of the Cao family!

"Brush! …… Brush! Brush! ”

The prime minister has spoken, just like giving a holy decree, the servants took out pen and ink, according to the circle on the map, wrote a dossier on the spot, the land of Yuyang County in Youzhou, as well as Shanggu and most of the land in Youbeiping, are all the food of the Xiao family, descendants and hereditary replacement, as for when it will be implemented, it depends on Xiao Yi's skills...... Send troops to the north and conquer the city!

In this way, Weng's son-in-law fought a tie, and the original cracks were well covered, and the Cao Ying Group was sincerely united and could continue to expand its power!

However, there is a rift between Cao and Xiao after all, no matter how clever the cover-up is, it cannot be completely eliminated, and when the rift gets bigger and bigger, it can no longer be bridged...... Stormy and earth-shattering!

The rewards of Cao Cao and Xiao Yi were determined, and the rest of the things were much easier......

Guo Jia made suggestions, repeatedly offered strange schemes, and had the great merit of the counselor's military aircraft, and was crowned as the 'military priest's sacrificial wine', and entered the Jue-Weiyang Township, and gave 5,000 households to the food estate, and the descendants were hereditary!

Cheng Yu was loyal, diligent, and meritorious in presiding over military affairs, and was crowned as 'Shangshu Servant Shooting', entered the Marquis of Anyang Pavilion, and gave 3,800 households of food!

Zhang Xiu led the men and horses, fought desperately, guarded Aocang with merit, and was crowned as the general of the expedition to the north, and the remote leader - Qingzhou Mu, the food increased to 4,000 households!

Xiahou took the lead, fought bravely, and was crowned as the 'Hussar General', and entered the Jue-Gao'an Pavilion Marquis............

…………………………………………………………………………

After a reward, the civil and military members of the Cao Ying Group are all added to the rank of official and named their wives and sons...... There are more than 20 people who are among the marquis alone, including food, farmland, money, and beautiful women...... All kinds of rewards, all kinds of rewards, can be said to be a great joy!

In addition, after some official transfers, the Cao Ying Group has grown stronger and stronger, and the important official positions of the imperial court are all in control, almost emptying the Han court.
