Within two days after receiving Lu Xun's urgent letter asking for help, Sun Quan concentrated on a big thing - rewarding the meritorious heroes of the Jingzhou battle.

Needless to say, the living generals, such as the partial general, the right governor Lu Xun broke the enemy meritorious, entered the right guard, the general of Zhenxi, and was named Lou Hou;

Zhuge Jin, Zhu Ran, and Sun Huan followed Lu Meng to ask for Guan Yu's merit, Zhuge Jin moved to Suinan, and was named the Marquis of Xuancheng;

Zhu Ran moved to General Zhaowu and was named the Marquis of Xi'an;

Sun Huan entered Anton Zhonglang ......

Even the rewards for the dead are generous enough:

Jiang Qin died, and 200 households and 200 acres of land in Wuhu were given to his wife and children, and his son Jiang Yi was the candidate for Xuancheng;

Sun Jiao died, and Yin's eldest son Yin was the Marquis of Danyang, who commanded the original army, and the tenants of the fields inherited as before;

When Pan Zhang died, he was given land and houses for his wife and children, and fifty tenants who were exempted from servitude......

Even the Shu Han generals were rewarded with exceptions:

Bai Shu Han was formerly engaged in the Zhonglang general of Pan Jun's auxiliary army in Jingzhou, and was granted military power;

Bai Shu Hanyuan Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang, public security Taishou Shiren as generals;

The rest of the generals who had surrendered were reinstated and given more gold and silver.

This contrived made the whole city of Gangneung City feel the voice of gratitude.

******

On this day, Sun Quan convened the generals and raised the account.

Today is the fifteenth day of his entry into Jiangling City, and it is also the last and grandest reward ceremony for his ministers that he has prepared for nearly three days--the reward for Lu Meng.

Looking around the hall, the famous ministers will be lined up.

including Zhuge Jin, Zhu Ran, Zhou Yin and other generals who participated in the Battle of Jingzhou before; There are also more than a dozen generals along the road who he brought in Han Dang, Gan Ning, Bu Qi, Luo Tong, Zhou Tai, Song Qian, Xu Sheng, Xian Yudan, Zhou Xun, Tai Shixiang, Jiang Yi, etc.

At this moment, half of the elites of Soochow gathered together, and they really can be called full of talents and talents.

A eunuch holding the edict in his hand was chanting in a subdued voice on the steps:

"A hundred birds are not as good as an osprey; The strategy is strange, but the second Gongjin, trying to take Jingzhou, is better than Zijing! This time, Dongwu expanded the land for thousands of miles, driving Guan Yu away, and Lu Meng can be said to have made great contributions! Immediately, Meng was the Taishou of Nanjun, sealed the tomb, and gave 100 million yuan and 500 catties of gold! ”

When the ministers in the hall heard this, they were all amazed.

Since Sun Cecao created the foundation of Jiangdong, no one has ever been so rewarded!

That day, the governor of the capital, Zhou Yu, broke Cao Cao in Chibi, but the official worshiped the general, and led the southern county to guard.

From today on, Lü Meng can be called the first minister of Eastern Wu.

The soldiers who had previously followed Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou and had already been rewarded were gone, and the new generals couldn't help but be a little red when they saw this.

Lu Meng bowed down in front of the hall, listened carefully, and could not see joy, anger and sorrow.

The eunuch smiled and urged: "Marquis Wu is rewarded, isn't Xiaolinghou still grateful for it?" ”

Lu Meng let out a long sigh and said respectfully: "The lord Jian pulled the ministers between the ranks, and persuaded them to learn, and the ministers have today's achievements. Such a generous gift, please forgive the ministers for not daring to accept it, and ask the lord to take back his life! ”

Sun Quan knew that Lu Meng had always been humble, and said with a smile: "People grow and make progress, like Ziming, they can't be reached." Rich and glorious, more able to break the festival and be studious, enjoy the book, light wealth and righteousness, do what you do, and be a countryman, not rest! Ziming dislikes the reward of loneliness, is it not enough to reward Qingqing? ”

The generals also thought that Lu Meng was modest, and persuaded him to smile and not hurt Wu Hou's heart.

Lu Meng shook his head and excused himself again: "Since the beginning of winter last year, Meng often feels dizzy, I am afraid that he is infected with scabies, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lord to stick to the country." This Nanjun is too guarded, and he also asks the lord to choose another meritocracy. ”

Sun Quan thought that this time it was Lu Meng's excuse again, so he pretended to sigh and said: "Lone Ben wants to ask Liu Bei in person, but Cao Cao in the north is eyeing him, and Fei Ziming is not enough to refuse." Could it be that Ziming wants to let the two tigers deal with these two tigers alone, without helping? ”

He seemed to say this to Lu Meng, but in fact, he also said it to everyone in the hall.

Seeing the generals in the hall, they were either suspicious or happy, with different expressions.

Lu Meng was taken aback, looked up and asked, "What?" The lord wants to recruit Liu Bei in person? ”

He pondered for a while, and persuaded in a deep voice: "The Lord of Ten Thousand Hopes thinks twice. Lu Xun wrote, Liu Bei's food is small, the lord only needs to send a general, and lead more than 10,000 reinforcements to stick to the pavilion, our army only has to stick to the mountain road for a few months, Liu Bei will run out of food and retreat, there is no need to take the risk of pro-conscription! ”

Zhuge Jin was also busy admonishing: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the lord sat in Jiangling and waited for the changes, which is the best policy." ”

Sun Quan knew that although these two did not agree, they were indeed out of a public heart, so he smiled but did not answer, and he also wanted to see the reaction of the other generals to the matter of pro-conquest.

Suddenly, I heard a bell ringing, and I saw a brocade-clothed general, who was ranked second in the left hand ranking, strode out.

The person who came showed a hearty smile and hugged his fist at Zhuge Jin:

"On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao went south, Liu Bei was panicked like a lost dog, and he would rather watch what he led, but Guan Yu still had the strength to fight, and the rest were all busy and vulnerable. Now that Guan Yu's elite soldiers have been dispersed, Liu Bei is in a hurry to come east, if he doesn't attack at this time, when will he wait? ”

Zhuge Jin recognized this person as Gan Ning, the general of Zhichong.

This person has superb martial arts, when he was a teenager, he carried a bow and arrows, put a bird feather on his head, and wore a bell on his body, wandering around, and people called him "Jinfan Thief" at the time.

Gan Ning Qingxia kills people, hides and dies, has a great reputation, he goes in and out, majestic and dazzling, walking is Chen train riding, and water is connected to the light boat. The attendants, dressed in splendid clothes, are brilliant wherever they go.

Zhuge Jin vaguely remembered that Gan Ning had suggested to the lord back then: "Destroy Huang Zu first, then kill Liu Biao, and then Tu Yizhou, and share the world with Cao Gong." ”

This was the plan of the two worlds that was prominent at that time. For this plan, in addition to the late Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu, this person is the most enthusiastic.

It's a pity that after Zhou Yu's death, the successor governor Lu Su suggested that he befriended Liu Bei, and the plan to divide the world was extinguished.

And Gan Ning, who has always been good friends with Zhou Yu, has also fallen silent since then and is no longer reused by Wu Hou.

Now that Guan Yu has been defeated, Dongwu has taken Jingzhou without spending a single soldier, and the plan of dividing the world into two parts of the world has once again been noisy.

Zhuge Jin secretly thought: "Behind Wu Hou's heart of pro-conquest, it is expected that this person will be indispensable to add fuel to the fire. ”

He pondered for a moment, and hurriedly persuaded: "General Gan must not underestimate the generals of Shu. In the past two years, Liu Bei relied on the Yizhou generals to fight several battles and finally expelled Cao Cao from Hanzhong. ”

Gan Ning smiled: "The Marquis of Xuancheng only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. At that time, although Cao Cao lost the general Xiahou Yuan, Liu Bei also folded Lei Tong and Wu Lan. ”

He took two steps closer, his eyes burned, and he asked rhetorically: "What's more, when Cao Cao retreated, he moved the people of Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Have you ever seen the victor tolerate the loser retreating so calmly? It can be seen that Cao Cao is not invincible, and Liu Bei is not victorious! ”

Sun Quan sat on the main seat, smiling, and watched Gan Ning press forward step by step, arrogant, and speechless Zhuge Jin.
