Yuan Shao was also very surprised when he heard that Zhao Yun had taken Nanyang.

"How can it be so fast?"

Looking around, Yuan Shao seemed to be asking everyone's opinions, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

Feng Ji sighed softly, "Lord, before we promised Zhao Yun to send troops to help, but the result was ......" Feng Ji shook his head, he urged Yuan Shao to send troops several times, but they were stopped by Guo Tu and Xu You, these two people fanned the flames in Yuan Shao's ears, and let Yuan Shao sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, thinking that the war between Zhao Yun and Yuan Shu will definitely last for a long time, and it will be difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat in a short time.

"Lord, I never thought that Sun Jian actually betrayed Yuan Shu, if it weren't for Sun Jian's help, then Zhao Yun would never have taken Nanyang so quickly." At this time, Guo Tu is still hard-mouthed.

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "Anyway, Yuan Shu is defeated, what should I do next?" ”

Feng Ji said, "My lord, according to the agreement, we should immediately show the imperial court, let Xu Rong sit in Nanyang Taishou, and then send someone to discuss the affairs of Yuzhou with Zhao Yun, I believe that Zhao Yun understands the righteousness and can keep his promise and take the initiative to give us Yuzhou." ”

Xu You snorted, "Lord, in my opinion, we should quickly send troops to seize Yuzhou, just in case, after occupying it first, it is not too late to negotiate with Zhao Yun, if we act one step late and are taken first, it will not be good, as for whether Zhao Yun will keep his promise, this kind of thing, who can guarantee it." ”

Guo Tu is also in favor of sending troops first, occupying the territory and then discussing with Zhao Yun, and getting the benefits first is the most important.

Several people disagreed, watching the quarrel, Yuan Shaosu had no opinion, the more noisy he became, the more dizzy he became, Tian Feng on the side, shook his head in his heart, and couldn't help but interject and said, "Lord, people don't stand without trust, the Yuan family is highly respected, and the prestige of the lord is famous all over the world, it is that we broke the appointment first, how can the lord be dishonest again, we did not send troops before, if we send troops at this moment, we will be laughed at by the world." ”

These words made Yuan Shao suddenly startled, he has always paid attention to false fame, for fear that others will say bad things about him behind his back, Tian Feng is strong and upright, and he will say whatever he has in his heart.

Yuan Shao immediately put a table to the imperial court, showing Zhao Yun's exploits, and letting Xu Rong sit in Nanyang Taishou.

Cao Cao did not break his promise, things went very smoothly, and within a few days, the holy decree arrived in Nanyang, and the imperial court officially appointed Xu Rong as the Taishou of Nanyang.

Zhao Yun kept his promise and evacuated all his men and horses from Yuzhou, although Yuzhou is a rare feng shui treasure, and everyone wants to fight for this piece of fat, but Zhao Yun knows that he does not have enough strength at the moment.

Your own territory has not been completed, and if you are greedy, it will only be self-defeating.

Cao Cao seized Hanzhong, Sima Yi persuaded him that he should send troops to Chengdu, and take advantage of the situation to level Xishu in one fell swoop. ”

What's more, in this battle, at the cost of only a few thousand people, Yuan Shu was driven away and Nanyang was taken, and Zhao Yun was already very content.

The war has ended, on this day, on the bank of the moat outside Nanyang City, a heroic monument more than ten zhang high was erected high, Zhao Yun will be the name of the fallen soldiers, find a masonry to carve on it one by one, around the towering stele, thousands of soldiers and soldiers are neatly dressed, the queue is neat, every pair of eyes are looking at this stele intently.

Zhao Yun, accompanied by Tai Shici and others, walked to the stone tablet, stopped and stood, and the previously friendly face disappeared, replaced by incomparable solemnity and majesty.

Zhao Yun's face was solemn, his expression was cold, his eyes swept over the soldiers' bodies one by one, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone tablet behind him, and said loudly, "Soldiers, brothers, the battle is over, we have won, this is something to celebrate, but all this is exchanged for the blood of the soldiers, many brothers have closed their eyes forever and slept on this land......"

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Xu Rong, including those soldiers, everyone wondered how there were immortals in war, this is normal.

If you die, you die, and it can only be said that those people are not lucky enough.

"Life and death have fate, wealth is in the sky, some people will say, in the war, how can there be immortals, the soldiers are shrouded in horse leather, bloody battlefields, casualties are inevitable, there is nothing to sympathize with, but I want to tell you, you are wrong, because those who died are our brothers, the reason why you can still stand here with dignity, in addition to your heroic battle, there is also a credit from those brothers who died in battle, people cannot be resurrected after death, but we can never forget them."

Saying that, Zhao Yun put his hand on his heart, people must know how to be grateful!

Next, for the bereavement of the families of the deceased, Zhao Yun personally ordered that "if the family has land, all taxes will be reduced or exempted, and they will never be collected in the future. ”

In addition, a one-time compensation of 50,000 yuan will be paid for each fallen soldier!

At the end of the Han Dynasty, prices soared, and the value of money depreciated very much, but 50,000 yuan was already able to buy 5 acres of fertile land.

The market price at that time:

Plastered fertile land = mu / 1~12,000 yuan

Medium land = mu / 1000 ~ 4000 money

Border plugs, deserts, barren land = mu / 100 ~ 300 money

Deluxe = seat/million dollars or more

Better house = seat / 40,000 yuan ~ 170,000 yuan

Ordinary house = block / 1~3

Inferior house = seat / 3000 ~ 5000 money.

Everyone was amazed that they had died in battle, and it was unbelievable that they could receive so much compensation at one time.

In addition to this, dependents are exempt from taxes and can be placed and cared for.

Zhao Yun's soldiers, many of them are from the Yellow Turban Army, the comparison between the two is simply a world of difference, the Yellow Turban side at most cares if you have a full stomach, once the person dies, the dust returns to dust, and the earth returns to the earth, and no one pays attention to it anymore, and there is no compensation for half of the child.

Xu Rong has been the Taishou of Rongyang and has also followed Dong Zhuo, even if it is a regular army, the pension for the dead soldiers is only a symbolic settling-in fee, but Zhao Yun took out so much money at once.

There are 50,000 people in one person, more than 2,000 in the Battle of Nanyang, and more than 3,000 in the Battle of Yangcheng, adding up, at least 500 million.

What is the concept?

Cao Song spent 100 million yuan back then, and he could buy a Tai Lieutenant, which was a high-powered third duke.

The lives of these 5,000 soldiers are worth 5 lieutenants.

Everyone looked at Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici couldn't help but persuade, "Lord, I know that you are sympathetic to the soldiers, but at the moment, Luoyang is undecided, the situation is unstable, and money is being used everywhere, and we don't have much money left on hand at all." ”

Zhao Yun's current situation can be described as difficult, he still has to spend money to build Luoyang City, and although he has cultivated so many fields, so far, not a grain of rice has been harvested.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said in an unquestioning tone, "The soldiers were born and died for me, they left their lives on the battlefield forever, they died, their families were small, and they were forever missing the pillars, this compensation is far from enough compared to their efforts, whether they are alive or dead, they must not let the soldiers chill!" ”
