Text Chapter 46 Zhang Chun conferred the head and Liu Yu was promoted
Hero, definitely heroic!
For the sake of the interests of the clan, he did not hesitate to wage war, and blood was shed everywhere. When he shoots, he treats human life like a mustard, and he is not merciless.
For the survival of the tribe, bow your head and admit defeat, and surrender is not dragging your feet, saying that you will admit defeat and directly put down your weapons.
Such a person is not a hero, who is a hero?
A guy like this, who is at the junction of the grassland and the Central Plains, understands the power logic of the grassland and the Central Plains, and can bend and stretch is definitely a big problem for the people of the Central Plains. Once this kind of person grows up, it will be the time when the Central Plains will be plagued by disasters.
But Zhou Yi obviously knew that Qiu Liju was a scourge, but now he couldn't help him. From the moment of Chuliju's surrender, the overseers of the army took over diplomacy and took care of Chuliju.
Confucian culture pays attention to the inner sage and the outer king, and the grace is added to the four seas. The Wuhuan people have already experienced the majesty of the Han court, and now is the time to show grace. The Eastern Han Dynasty has always been this strategy to the outside world, which is also the political logic of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhou Yi understands, Gongsun Zan also understands, and Qiu Liju understands it.
This is also the main reason why Qiu Liju dared to surrender unconditionally.
Compared with the cruelty of the tribes on the steppe annexing each other, the Central Plains people are much more merciful.
Surrender and negotiation are the affairs of Liu Yu of Youzhou and the Han court. What Zhou Yi had to do now was to bring Qiu Liju and the Wuhuan captives back to Youzhou.
Looking at Qiu Liju's provocative gaze as if he was victorious, Zhou Yi, especially Gongsun Zhan's whole body strength, seemed to hit a ball of cotton, uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
In the army, there are not only soldiers of the imperial court, but also supervisors sent by the imperial court. From the moment Qiu Liju threw down his weapon, the trend of the war was no longer under the control of Zhou Yi and Gongsun Zhan.
"Brother Zhou, at that time, you should have directly ended the life of Qiu Liju's dog thief on the battlefield, where is there still the arrogance of Hu Renxiaoer, and there is no such mess as it follows." Gongsun Chan said indignantly. Gongsun Chan hated Qiu Liju to the core, and was defeated by Qiu Liju in both expeditions to the grassland.
"Brother Gongsun, I also know that people like Qiu Liju are definitely our great enemies, but at that time, in order to end the battle as soon as possible, I had to agree to the surrender of the Hu people. Speaking of Qiu Liju's martial arts, Brother Gongsun has also been taught, and the first warrior of Donghu is not in vain. Under the circumstances, I couldn't kill Qiu Liju in a short time, and the prison army came later. Zhou Yi said he was helpless.
"If I had been on the scene, I would probably have made the same choice, but I was unwilling. However, this expedition was also a great victory, thanks to the great help of Brother Naruhito. Gongsun Chan is still grateful for this victory, so he can return to Dahan, not to mention adding an official to a knighthood, but at least he can keep his official position.
"You and I will go out together, share weal and woe, don't say anything outside the world. Qiu Liju's problem is related to the Han Dynasty's strategy against Hu, and we can not participate much in it.
But we can defeat Qiu Liju once, we can defeat him twice, but there is nothing to worry about. The key is that if the Hu people follow Qiu Liju's example, when the time comes, there will be troubles everywhere, and you and I will not be able to separate.
From this point of view, if you want to guard the border of the Han Dynasty, you and I have a great responsibility, and if we want to solve the border problem forever, we have a long way to go. Zhou Yi sighed.
"What Brother Zhou said is true, as a military general, I have the determination to die on the battlefield. If you can solve the border troubles once and for all, you will follow Wei Qing's example, Huo Quai, and bury your bones in the desert. It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't completely solve the Xiongnu problem, can we still solve the problem of northern Xinjiang forever? "It may be that two successive defeats have been hit, and Gongsun Chan is a little pessimistic. But it's also true.
"General Gongsun doesn't have to be so pessimistic, as long as you and I can follow Wei Qing and Huo Quai's example, bravely kill the enemy, guard the frontier, and make meritorious contributions, future generations will definitely follow. When the time comes, heroes from all over the world will come, and there will be no worries about the troubles. At this time, it is still necessary to encourage Gongsun Zhan, don't let this high-spirited white horse general lose his sharpness.
The negotiations of the imperial court were unusually smooth, and the Wuhuan people were very cooperative after all. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, even if I want to resist, I can't resist. Besides, the conditions of the Han are still very tolerant, and they just recruit 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry to quell the chaos in the northwest.
The Qiang rebellion in the northwest has not been quelled for two years. Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou wrote several times to ask the imperial court for help, but the imperial court had no soldiers available. The Xiliang army has already been defeated, even if Huangfu Song, the god of war, goes to quell the chaos, there is nothing to be done. It happened that the surrender of Wuhuan this time gave the imperial court the strength to pacify the northwest.
Qiu Liju was sent to Chang'an and imprisoned, but he lived a life like a prince and nobleman. Although he lost his freedom and managed to save his life, his tribe did not have the blind person to annex it.
It's a good calculation, it's really a sure-fire deal.
It would take some time for the imperial court's reward to arrive, and Zhou Yi handed over the prisoners to Liu Yu and returned the military power. Take Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others back to Liaodong.
This time the army came and went for less than two months, but there were nearly 20,000 soldiers buried on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the commander of the right Beiping foot soldiers is called Zou Jing, who is a fierce general, but unfortunately his position is not high, and he was named a broken school by the imperial court.
Zhou Yi was named the general of the captives, and Zhou Yi thought that he and Zou Jing were quite fateful. But Zou Jing doesn't think so, why should a hairy boy have the same title as himself, and his position is higher.
The sacred title of breaking the capture was earned by himself with decades of meritorious service, and Zhou Yi was not worthy of these two words. Maybe people who are a little capable have a bit of a stubborn temper, Zhou Yi had to comfort himself.
There is nothing big about Liaodong, everything is as usual, and it is more energetic than when Zhou Yi left.
The duo of Guan Ning and Liu Bei managed Liaodong in an orderly and prosperous manner.
It's Zhang Fei's big mouth, and when he comes back, he brags about how many enemies he has killed on the battlefield, a few more than Zhao Yun, not to mention Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
That arrogant arrogance is like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, whether you accept it or not. Dian Wei who watched it wanted to beat people, not to mention Zhao Yun and Yan Liangwen were ugly.
In the end, several people couldn't bear it anymore and surrounded Zhang Fei and beat him up.
Lao Zhang's ability to hate is still good.
"Won't I just tell the truth, as for me?" Lao Zhang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was very depressed and said in a low voice.
The Wuhuan people finally realized what it was to feel the pain of the skin this time, the population was directly reduced by one-tenth, and the combat power was lost by one-third. When the other Hu people saw Wu Huan's fate, they also stood to themselves.
Zhang Chun, who lost the protection of the Hu people, was soon beheaded in exchange for a bounty.
For a time, the thief was punished, and the border was peaceful. This is a rare period of peace in recent years.
Liu Yu was awarded the title of Lieutenant by the imperial court for his meritorious service in governing the place, and was named the Marquis of Rongqiu.
The positions of the three princes of the imperial court were all exchanged for money by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. A position can be exchanged for five million dollars, Liu Yu is an honest official, and he has money to give gifts to Emperor Ling of Han, but he can't get the money and refuses to take office.
Emperor Ling of Han also felt a huge political crisis at this time, and he urgently needed reliable people around him. Liu Yu is the head of the Liu family, and he has made great contributions in the local area. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty deliberately exempted Liu Yu from the gift money, and Liu Yu took office.
It has been two months since the rebellion was put down, and the news of Liu Yu's promotion has already spread, and he can take office as soon as he waits for the holy decree.
However, the reward given to Zhou Yi by the imperial court has not come down for a long time, and Zhou Yi does not care very much. But the soldiers who went on the expedition with Zhou Yi needed to be given a name by the imperial court. The reward of silver Zhou Yi can be paid in advance, but the official position needs to be officially canonized by the imperial court.
When Zhou Yi and the other flowers were almost gone, the imperial court finally came. is still an old acquaintance of Zhou Yi, one of the ten permanent servants, Zhang Rang. Before, Zhou Yi sent money to Zhang Rang to save Cai Yong.
Zhang Rang read out the reward for the soldiers who went to Liaodong, but there was no Zhou Yi. Avoiding others, Zhang Rang pulled Zhou Yi aside alone, and said in the characteristic voice of a eunuch:
"General Po, we are all old acquaintances, and we can say everything clearly. When he set off, the emperor made a special explanation. I want our family to ask the general, there is a vacancy in Youzhou, can the general be interested? ”
"Lord Zhang, I don't know what the Holy One means? I also hope that the elder will teach me, and the kindness of the adult will be remembered in my heart. "Pretend to be confused when you should pretend to be confused, but this time Zhou Yizhen doesn't know what Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, plans to do.
"General Po, let's talk about it, this time Liu Yu is promoted, the emperor can confiscate Liu Yu's silver. But this vacant Youzhou pastor, that is a fragrant bait. The emperor is for the sake of your meritorious service in defending the land, and will give you a preferential price, five million yuan. If the general is interested, this Youzhou Mu is the general's. This is at least eight million dollars from someone else. "This Jean is better to say than to sing. Five million dollars is the price of three gongs.
"Lord Zhang, for Zhou Yi's kindness, Zhou Yi is unforgettable, but for such a big matter, let the villain think about it and give you an answer tomorrow." If you think about this matter carefully, you have to discuss it with others.
After arranging Zhang Rang, Zhou Yi asked people to recruit Guan Ning, Liu Bei, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others.
As soon as everyone heard that they could be promoted, they were very excited. But as soon as they heard that they had to pay the money, they were all indignant.
"Fujun, I heard that Zhang Rang not only came to our Taishou Mansion this time, but also went to many other places. I didn't know what Zhang Rang was going to do before, but now it seems that he should be going to discuss the price of Youzhou Mu. "Guan Ning is still more well-informed.
"Zhang Rang should be the last to come to me, I want everyone to refer to it. Youzhou Mu, should I take it or give up. If you accept how much money you can take. "Zhou Yi actually still wants to take Youzhou in his heart, after all, the troubled times are coming, and it is very important to have a piece of territory that he has the final say.
Everyone agreed that Zhou Yi should take this opportunity to take Youzhou Mu. After all, there are a total of thirteen states in Dahan, and there is a chance to take Youzhou, so why not do it. The remaining question is how much is cost-effective, and what is the low price of Emperor Han Ling.
Zhang Rang didn't negotiate elsewhere, and Zhou Yi, who came here, was purely for price comparison, and those who wanted to increase their height came here.
There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
