On that day, Zhao Yue was tired and sad, and finally couldn't hold on to sleep in an empty pavilion in the palace, and slept until the evening of the next day.

Three days later, Wang Jian and Cao Ping had already returned to Hongnong, and Zhang Duan fled overnight, even though these two generals tried their best to catch up, they only pursued and eliminated part of the old and weak soldiers and the rear of the army......

At noon, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty moved to the palace hall of Hongnong City, set up a banquet, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were lined up on both sides, and Zhao Yue and all the civil officials and military generals under his command were waiting to receive the emperor's reward.

Several tall pillars support the main hall in the hall, and the red carpet gives the pride of receiving an honor.

The little eunuch stood a little lower on the emperor's throne, holding the holy decree in both hands, and began to shout in a sharp voice: "Offering the emperor's will, there is a big chaos today, the Quartet is not subordinate, there is Dong Zhuo in the middle of the court, and Wang Yun is in chaos. In the summer of the year, Li Dao Guo Yan led the troops to invade the territory, Zhao Yue led the troops to fight the thief, and offered the jade seal, the contribution is indispensable, I am very relieved, the war has been decided, and the merit is rewarded. ”

"Named Zhao Yue the king of Qin, appointed as the general of the court, in charge of all military affairs; Qin Feng is the general, Meng idiot is Situ, Wang Jian is the Zhonglang general, Cao Ping is the general of Zhengxi, Feng Luohou, and Jia Xu is the doctor of Taizhong. Each of the above personnel was given 20 acres of land, 50 horses of silk, and 500 taels of gold. ”

As soon as the holy decree was issued, Zhao Yue took the lead and said loudly: "Minister Zhao Yue, thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

After that, he took his ministers to bow down on the red carpet and thanked Emperor Han Xian for his reward.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Yue ordered Cao Ping to lead the army to put several other counties in Hongnong County that had not yet been recovered under control.

Despite this, for Zhao Yue, there are still many flaws in the current situation.

First of all, those ministers in the court, although the commanders of the two forbidden armies and the emperor's side had a good impression of him, and there were Shangshu Ding Guan, and they also drank with him to discuss state affairs.

However, the other civil and military officials did not recognize him as a young foreigner, although he governed Luoyang very well and the credit was to the people, but almost all of these officials thought that he was for the development of his own power.

This is undoubtedly an accusation that directly pierces the inner thoughts.

Especially the prime minister Cao Yuanze in the court, he was promoted after Wang Yun got rid of Dong Zhuo, when Wang Yun was in power, this prime minister did not have much power, this time Wang Yun was removed, this puppet prime minister suddenly had great rights, including the appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials, he couldn't help but have some hostility to Zhao Yue.

According to Zhao Yue's secret investigation, this Cao Yuanze and Wang Yun still have a certain kinship, that is to say, Cao Yuanze must be towards Wang Yun in his heart.

This is his problem in the government and the opposition, and at the same time, his problem still exists in the war in the northwest.

Ma Lu had been back to Xiliang for a long time, and he wanted to know her current condition, but there was no news from there. Li Dao and Guo Yan have begun to fight each other, Zhang Duan led the troops back to mediate, and he wanted to take the opportunity to send troops, but just after a big battle, the soldiers urgently needed to recuperate.

During this time, Zhao Yue was in Hongnong all day long, and some wanted to go back to Luoyang, but because it was closer to the northwest, it was more convenient to try to take Chang'an, so he made a difficulty.

The sun shone on the streets of Hongnong, the people were bustling, Zhao Yue and his subordinates walked in the woods on the outskirts of the city, wanting to take a break and talk about future development by the way.

As Jia Xu walked, he pushed aside the branches hanging down from the woods for Zhao Yue, and admonished him: "Lord, since this is the case, why not persuade the emperor to return to Luoyang and use the name of the former imperial capital?" Moreover, when the minister heard about the Hebei area, Yuan Shao actually persuaded Gongsun Zan to surrender. Effortlessly, he collected most of the land in Hebei. ”

Zhao Yue took a step, looked at the occasional stones on the ground, and said while thinking: "Yes, I know the person who went to persuade Gongsun Zhan to surrender, his name is Pan Yu, the word is obvious, he is a very talented, gentleman, and polite, so in terms of envoys, many forces must give him a few faces, even when I first started an incident in Luoyang, I sent Meng Shi to Yuan Shao to ask for help, and he also helped." ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "I see, but my lord, I heard that he made a big mistake, and I am afraid that he will not be reused in Yuan Shao's place in the future." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yue was stunned, how could such a cautious person make such a serious mistake to make Yuan Shao, who values character and reputation, so angry.

Jia Xu patiently explained: "The lord doesn't know anything, there is a general under Gongsun Zhan, named Zhao Yue, who can fight Yan Liang and Wen Chou alone. ”

"How brave you are? I've heard of the great name of Hebei Shuangtaizhu, and someone can fight these two people alone, but they can indeed be called brave generals. Zhao Yue sighed, "But what does this have to do with Pan Yu's mistakes?" ”

Jia Xu said slowly: "After Gongsun Zan was defeated near Beiping, Zhao Yun led the White Horse Yicong to assault, but was defeated and captured, Pan Yu went to visit Zhao Yun, after learning that he didn't want to take refuge in Yuan Shao, but just bent on death, Pan Yu took pity on such a brave general, and let him go privately. ”

"What!" Zhao Yue stopped under a tree, and the sunlight shone on his face through the gaps in the green leaves, looking very white and bright.

"That's the case, fortunately, Pan Yu is low-key and humble on weekdays, although Yuan Shao's advisers are fighting openly and secretly, but they don't have much hatred for him, so they intercede for him together, Yuan Shao is indecisive, and always listens to other people's ideas, plus it was Pan Yu who persuaded Gongsun Zan for him to surrender and avoid a protracted duel, so he was pardoned for his capital crimes, but from now on, Yuan Shao is afraid that he will not listen to his plans again." Jia Xu shook his head as he spoke, and sighed again after speaking.

Zhao Yue was silent, he thought of his subordinates from Pan Yu's incident, he felt that as a monarch, he must be based on his subordinates, and he must not do anything that makes Meiyu dusty.

Suddenly, in an instant, Zhao Yue remembered the time when he and Pan Yu were evaluated by Xu Shao in Pingyu City, Runan County, when Xu Shao gave each of them a bronze medal, and of course he understood the meaning of his bronze medal.

And the words on Pan Yu's bronze medal are not exactly "The rich don't love jade, and the poor prefer wealth"? (To be continued.) )
