The autumn wind is whining, destroying the dead branches and grass on the earth, it should be a depressed season, but the north gate of Jinyang City is crowded with people, and it seems to be very lively. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yang, the ruling Jinwu, personally led the soldiers to maintain order on the scene and prevent the people from rushing to the official road in the middle.

Looking further into the middle of the north gate, standing there is the current Han Emperor Liu Bian, and on the left and right are all civil and military officials.

The names of the people were chattering, and the sound of the scene seemed a little chaotic, but with Zhang Yang's maintenance, it was quite orderly.

"Is that the Son of Heaven? Why go out of town? A merchant-like man asked.

The person next to him glanced at him with disdain and said: "I see that you are from other places, today is the day of the general's victory in breaking Xianbei, His Majesty the Son of Heaven led the ministers to personally go out of the city to greet him!" ”

The merchant took a breath and sighed, "It is really a great honor to be greeted by the Son of Heaven when he goes out of the city to greet him. ”

The man next to him raised his head, and his expression, as if he was accepting the Son of Heaven's greeting, said proudly: "Of course, the general's martial arts are flying, destroying Xianbei, and protecting my Han territory, of course, it is worthy of His Majesty the Son of Heaven to go out of the city to greet him." ”

The merchant nodded and said, "I have traveled to and from all over the world, and I have heard of the great general's prestige many times, but I have not seen it. ”

"Hey, stop talking, it's coming! Here it comes! The man pushed the merchant and pointed to the distance.

Many of the people present also craned their necks and looked in the direction that the man was pointing, only to see flags swaying in the distance, colorful and beautiful.

The people only thought that those flags were brightly colored and very good-looking, but few people knew that these flags were divided into five elements and used to command the battle on the battlefield.

When the army approached, everyone could see clearly that there were two people at the front, almost walking side by side.

One of them, a golden helmet and golden armor and a red robe, is majestic, with a big flag on his side, red background and gold edges, embroidered with "Han General Zhao".

The other person, a bronze helmet, iron armor, and green python robe, has a good appearance, and there is also a big flag by his side, with the book "Han Hu Hun Zhonglang General Zhang".

These two people are Zhao Qian and Zhang Liao!

Behind the two, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici followed left and right, and then there was the army of Hao Hao Tangtang, and as they approached the city gate, the army scattered and lined up on both sides.

At the back were some captives, cattle and sheep, and a cart of property.

When Liu Wei saw Zhao Qian coming, he was very happy, opened his arms, and stepped forward.

Zhao Qian saw Liu Wei coming up, and quickly got off the horse, and the rest of the generals also dismounted.

"The general's victory is really the pillar of my Han, and I am very relieved!" Liu Wei said with a smile.

Zhao Qian hugged his fists and bowed, and responded: "Your Majesty Xie's praise, the main credit for this destruction of Xianbei is the Zhang Liao next to me, General Zhang!" ”

Liu Wei nodded and said: "General Zhang is brave, I know it, I decided to follow the general's proposal to make General Zhang Liao the general of Dangkou, the Marquis of Yanmen, and give him the title of 'national hero'!" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he hurriedly fell to the ground and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"General Zhang, please get up, with General Zhang guarding the frontier for me, I can worry about it." Liu Wei personally helped Zhang Liao up.

Zhao Qian took another step forward and said: "Your Majesty, this time against Xianbei, General Zhang Liao's subordinates are also heroic, and the minister suggests that a monument be built for the dead, and the living will be rewarded, and the department will be given the name 'Tiger Roaring Army'!" ”

"Quasi-play!" Liu Wei immediately said, "All affairs are in charge of the general!" ”

Zhao Qian nodded, turned to Zhang Liao and said, "General Dangkou listens to orders!" ”

"The last general!" Zhang Liao hugged his fist.

"After receiving the title, General Ben authorized General Dangkou to lead a thousand Tiger Roaring Army sergeants to praise officials in Jinyang for three days! After that, it still returned to Yanmen County and guarded the northern border, when the Tiger Roaring Army was increased to 10,000 people, and equipment, grain and grass should be replenished. Zhao Qian said.

After Zhang Liao heard this, he looked excited, and hurriedly thanked him, and the former sergeant behind him also looked strange.

It is gratifying to be able to get a reward from the imperial court, and it is good to be greeted by the Son of Heaven, but it is a lifetime of glory for the army you are in to be able to get the title!

What is the purpose of being a soldier?

The general is to seal his wife and son, and the ordinary soldier is to fill his stomach, and there is that glory that can be used to brag!

Being able to follow Zhang Liao to boast about his official position in Jinyang City for three days is enough for these soldiers to show off for a lifetime, and all of this is what they have fought hard to get back.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the great destruction of Xianbei this time, a large number of Xianbei people have also been captured and a large amount of property has been seized, please make a decision for Your Majesty." Zhao Qian continued.

Where did Liu Wei know how to deal with these problems, so he asked: "What does the general want to do?" ”

Zhao Qian pondered for a moment and said: "This time, more than 4,000 soldiers of the Tiger Roar Army were killed and wounded, and the imperial court should double the compensation for their families, and in addition, the expansion of the Tiger Roaring Army also requires a large amount of property, which can be used for this. ”

"What about the Xianbei captives?" Liu Wei then asked.

"Men serve as servants for the great men all their lives, and as for women, they can be rewarded to meritorious soldiers." Zhao Qian replied.

Liu Wei thought for a while, turned his head and asked, "Mrs. Yang, is the general's proposal okay?" ”

Yang Biao looked at Zhao Qian, bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, the old man thinks that the general is too merciful to deal with it." ”

Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard Yang Biao's words, originally he thought that Yang Biao and these ministers were going to take the opportunity to get along with him, but he didn't expect to say that he was merciful?

"What good proposal does Mrs. Yang have?" Zhao Qian asked.

"Kill!" Yang Biao said viciously, "Xianbei has repeatedly invaded the south, and not killing it is not enough to deter his heart." ”

Liu Wei turned his head to look at Zhao Qian again, but Zhao Qian smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it is useless to kill him." ”

"General, this is a Xianbei foreigner, why should you show mercy to your subordinates." Yang Biao said puzzled.

Zhao Qian smiled: "If you kill them like this, it's too cheap for them." Take them as servants, work for our Han day and month, and create value; And the woman and the sergeant of our Han Dynasty can give birth to children for them, and when the children grow up, they can speak Chinese, eat Chinese food, practice Chinese etiquette, and join the army, so as to increase the prestige of our Han Dynasty, why not? ”

"It's just a waste of my big man's food." Yang Biao was obviously still not satisfied.

Zhao Qian said: "General Ben dares to guarantee that according to my method, the value created by it is far greater than the cost paid. ”

"Xun Situ, which method do you think is better?" Liu Wei turned around and asked Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I think the general's plan is a long-term strategy. ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's follow the general's proposal." ”
