Liu Hong felt that this Ye Chen really deserved to be rewarded, so he said: "This Liaodong Ye Chen has made great contributions, ranking Aiqing, how do you think I should reward him." ”

"Your Majesty, you can be named a general, and let him make new contributions." Zhao Zhong hurriedly said on the side.

As soon as Liu Hong heard the reason, he was about to issue an order to seal the official, but at this time, He Jin hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, that Ye Chen is a first-order businessman, although he has an inch, he cannot be a general, and he can be given an idle official position to show the emperor's favor."

Military power is He Jin's forbidden area, and he will definitely not let Zhang Rang's people have too much military power, otherwise it will threaten his position.

"No, Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people, the yellow turban thieves outside are still wreaking havoc everywhere, this meritorious person must be rewarded to boost the morale of the army, so that the thieves can be broken as soon as possible and I will be returned to the peace of the Han Dynasty." Zhang Rang said loudly.

Zhang Rang's words were irrefutable, and He Jin also knew that it was very difficult to stop him, but he couldn't just give up, and he had to try his best to prevent Ye Chen from holding the military power.

"Your Majesty, this Ye Chen's establishment merit must be rewarded, why not give him some gold, silver and jewelry, let him make new contributions, and wait for the war to pass, and then confer the official." He came in to procrastination, and it was still a question of whether Ye Chen could live after the war, even if he lived, when the war was over, he was ordered to disband the soldiers and horses, and give him a petty official.

He Jin's words made Liu Hong hesitate all of a sudden, he was also entangled in Ye Chen's identity as a merchant, the ancient rulers didn't like merchants, so he still minded Ye Chen's identity.

"Your Majesty, no, now that the Yellow Turban is powerful, and Ye Chen's official position is sealed, the righteous army in the world will rise up in groups to respond to the necessary holy decree, and when the time comes, the Yellow Turban will be able to extinguish it soon." Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong was hesitant, and hurriedly persuaded him.

This time Liu Hong hesitated again, because what Zhang Rang said was really reasonable, this Ye Chen was ordered by the rebel army, and he also made great contributions, if he didn't seal the official, how could other people still rebel against the Yellow Turban?

"Then Father, what official should Ye Chen be sealed?" Liu Hong asked in a tentative tone.

"Feudal marquis and generals, the world's righteous army rises together, and the yellow scarf can be broken in an instant."

As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, there was a quarrel below, it was nothing to give an official, people have made great contributions, and it is not okay not to give an official, but now they want to be a marquis?

How can it be so easy to be a marquis, there are so many people in their present, and they are high-ranking officials, there is no marquis, why is this Ye Chen a marquis, a small businessman, to give an official position is the emperor's grace.

Then everyone quarreled, and stood up one by one, admonishing the emperor and attacking Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang stood aside and laughed without saying a word, and did not quarrel with them at all.

Liu Hong was so loud that his head was noisy, he was not in good spirits, but now he feels very irritable when he is noisy.

"Your Majesty, although this Ye Chen is a businessman, but he is loyal to my Han, this Du Kang wine was invented by him, and he often makes new wine and presents it to His Majesty, and he has never asked for any reward, as soon as he heard His Majesty's edict, he immediately rebelled to help him, and his loyalty can be seen."

Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong was already in an irritable mood, and immediately said.

"Okay, okay, this Ye Chen has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and he has to be rewarded, and if he stops sealing the marquis, he will be named General Jianwei, let him continue to lead the army to fight, and make new contributions to my Han Dynasty." If I make new contributions, I will definitely be rewarded. In the end, Liu Hong, who was very annoyed, made a final decision and made a decision.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Hong began to suspect, and always suspected that everyone was disloyal to him and the Han Dynasty, and now that Zhang Rangyi said it, he suddenly felt that Ye Chen was loyal to him, especially this Du Kang wine was invented by him, and Liu Hong often got the wine from outside the palace, which was specially brewed, and it was impossible to buy it on the market, so it turned out that this was all done by Ye Chen.

I drink other people's wine every day, and no one has invited credit, and the mouth of the drunk person is short, so he should be rewarded, and through this matter, it can be seen how loyal this courtier is.

Liu Hong's idea was like this, so he gave Ye Chen an official position, but he didn't dare to give too high an official position, because Ye Chen was a businessman after all, and his ancestors were not officials, and there were many people who opposed it.

The people below saw that the emperor had already made a decision, and General Jianwei was just a miscellaneous general, not to mention compared with the generals of the four expeditions and four towns, even if it was far from the generals of Si'an and Siping, so the people below, including the generals He Jin, Situ Yuan Kui, Taiwei Zhang Wen and others were not easy to object.

In fact, all this can't escape Zhang Rang's calculations, although it is a little smaller than the official position he expected, but it was finally decided, there is a reason why he threw out the feudal marquis first, he has been in the court for so long, how can he not know that this feudal marquis is almost impossible.

In order to make the courtiers oppose, they strongly oppose the feudal marquis, it is not good to oppose the general, sure enough, Liu Hong said that the general Jianwei, everyone did not dare to object, and then objected at this time, it will inevitably cause Liu Hong's unhappiness, not only can it not be done, but he is also nothing, maybe it will cause trouble.

In this way, Ye Chen's official position was decided, and he was made a general. At this time, Ye Chen didn't know that he was already a general, and he had been observing the periphery of the Changshe, looking for opportunities.

Now Changshe has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans, Bo Cai is leading them, and Peng Tuo returned to the rear, transferred hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans from other cities, guarded Yingchuan, Peng Tuo himself in the rear of the city continued to recruit troops, horses, grain and grass, and planned to attack Luoyang after breaking through Changshe.

Let's not talk about Ye Chen's side, after the court sealed Ye Chen's official position, everyone finally remembered that the situation of the Yellow Turban Soldiers surrounding the Changshe has not yet been resolved, and the Yellow Turban may attack at any time.

"Your Majesty, now that the Changshe is in danger, we should immediately organize reinforcements to help." He Jin stood up and said.

"Well, what does the general recommend?" Liu Hong said.

"Immediately organize 10,000 forest guards to help, so as to solve the current crisis." The general told the plan for the morning.

"Okay, then immediately organize Yulinwei to support, I don't know if there is a candidate for this person to lead the troops." Liu Hong asked again.

Zhang Rang didn't intervene on the side, he couldn't help it, he had no one to recommend, if he was the chief executive, he could say whatever he wanted, but this person with soldiers couldn't be casual, and there was really no one on his side who could lead troops, except for Ye Chen.

However, although Zhang Rang can't recommend his own people, it doesn't mean that he can't disgust He Jin.

"Cao Cao and Cao Mengde can be named the captain of the cavalry and gallop to the battlefield."

"Okay, then make Cao Cao the captain of the cavalry, raise 10,000 troops, and immediately support Changshe." Liu Hong also knew that the Yellow Turban had to be suppressed, otherwise his Han dynasty would be unstable.

After Liu Hong finished speaking, Zhang Rang had already thought of a way, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the cost of 10,000 Yulin troops to go out is huge, and it is not good to have tens of millions, I think it is better to do this, let Cao Cao bring 5,000 men and horses, this General Jianwei has 8,000 soldiers and horses, and at the same time let him rescue Changshe and make new contributions to His Majesty." ”

When Liu Hong heard this, 10,000 Yulin troops would cost tens of millions, and he was very distressed at the moment, and he heard Zhang Rang say that Ye Chen had 8,000 men and horses, which was just right to use, so he made a decision to only send 5,000 troops.

"Okay, then as Father said, recruit 5,000 Lin Wei." Although Liu Hong was still very distressed about money, he still couldn't do without this big Han country, so he requisitioned 5,000 soldiers and horses.

This time he thought about it, it was still Ye Chenhao, he could help him have thirty or forty million money left at once, what a good person, if he made new contributions next time, he must increase the reward.

He Jinqi gritted his teeth, but there was no way, Liu Hong had already ordered, and the original 10,000 soldiers and horses were immediately cut in half by Zhang Rang with a few words.
