With the great success of the Han-Qiang peace talks and the naturalization of the Qiang, the war in the west of the Han Empire has come to an end. Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan led a large army and returned to Chang'an with Liu Wei.

When the war is over, it is naturally time to reward meritorious deeds. If you talk about meritorious service, since the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the first major achievement should naturally be Zhong Yuanchang, who defended Chang'an and was not afraid of danger.

Liu Wei issued an edict to worship Zhong Xuan as the Marquis of Gaoling, and he was still the Chang'an Order. Although he was not promoted, he was raised by two thousand stones, which is equivalent to the level of state pastor.

Originally, the rank of the county order was only a thousand stones, but Liu Wei raised it to a level with the state pastor. Although it did not conform to the rules, Liu Wei issued an edict to take this as a common practice, and in the future, Chang'an and Luoyang would no longer be under the jurisdiction of Si Lizhou, but would be directly managed by the central court. Similar to the municipalities directly under the central government in later generations, the Chang'an Order and the Luoyang Order also became important feudal officials.

Due to the future development of Luoyang and Chang'an, one has become the political center of the country, and the other has become an international metropolis with a strong economy and culture.

At this time, Liu Wei already had a plan to build Chang'an in his heart, and leaving Zhong Xuan, who was good at internal affairs, here would be more conducive to the construction and development of Chang'an City.

After Zhong Xuan, the next reward is naturally the highly meritorious Jiang Qi and the Xiyuan Army.

Thousands of miles to aid Chang'an, night raid on the Xiliang rebel camp to lay the victory, south attack the Qiang army, combined forces to break the Xiliang rebels, one by one credit accumulated, Jiang Qi and the Xiyuan Army under his command ranked second in the merit.

Jiang Qinai is Liu Wei's cronies, and the Xiyuan Army is his descendant troops, so the reward is naturally generous. After the night attack on the rebel camp in the front, Liu Wei had already rewarded the Xiyuan Army with a large amount of wealth and corn, and this time he did not hesitate to give a big reward. At the same time, he also issued an edict to worship Jiang Qi as the general of Zhenbei, the general of the Pingcheng army, the Marquis of Fenyang, and the garrison of Pingcheng.

Pingcheng is a strategic place of the Han Empire in Bingzhou Daijun, which is close to the Xiongnu Xianbei and often experiences wars, so the people are fierce and have strong combat effectiveness. Liu Wei arranged Jiang Qi here, firstly, to let him use the source of good soldiers here to train a strong army in the world such as the Xiyuan Army, and secondly, to let him monitor Yuan Shao, who was recruiting troops and buying horses in Jizhou and growing in strength.

Jiang Qi has made great contributions to the Xiyuan Army becoming a strong army in the world, although he is a little reluctant to leave this army he created, but Jiang Qi still resolutely carried out Liu Wei's order.

For him, his achievements and status today are all because Liu Wei appreciated himself and Weimo at the beginning, and Shi Neng died for his confidant, and what else was there to worry about.

Moreover, he was aware of Liu Wei's big plan, and he was also full of firm belief in the life of the future cultivators with their fields outlined by Liu Wei, and for the sake of his political beliefs, he was naturally willing to obey Liu Wei's arrangement.

However, Liu Wei was not in a hurry to let Jiang Qi go to the post, because Jiang Qi was about to get married soon, and the woman was not the princess Wannian that Liu Wei had always wanted to match, but a girl who had already been married in Jiang Qi's hometown.

Liu Wei had already heard Tang Ji say about Zhao Yun and Princess Wannian, and he had always been very helpless about this kind of ruthless thing. Although he only has such a sister as Wan Nian, he can't use imperial power to forcibly marry, not for ordinary people, and even more so for a confidant like Zhao Yun.

The matter had to be put aside.

After Jiang Qi got married, he was going to Pingcheng to take up his post. In the future, he will train a strong army there that is as famous as the West Park Army and meet a famous general who is famous all over the world.

Although Jiang Qi had no doubts about leaving the Xiyuan Army, he still put forward a request: the training of the new army from scratch is extremely hard, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, Jiang Qi hopes to bring Chen Wei, Guo Wen and other old brothers in the Xiyuan Army. These people are all old men who trained in the West Garden when they were the prince of Liu Bian, and they have all learned Liu Bian's advanced military training ideas, and Jiang Qi has been in the same team for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and the West Garden Army has relied on them to build a strong army in the world bit by bit. With them together, the new military will get twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Wei only agreed to half of his request, after all, Jiang Qi couldn't be taken away, and there were some military backbones left within the Xiyuan Army. Therefore, Chen Wei, Zhang Lei, and Ma Qing were sent to follow Jiang Qi to Pingcheng to train the new army. Guo Wen, Liu Yu and others continued to stay in the West Garden Army. However, as compensation, Liu Wei promised that the military salary of the Pingcheng Army would be on par with that of the Xiyuan Army, and that the remaining difference between the normal military salaries of the state would be made up by Liu Wei himself.

Jiang Qi actually didn't really want to poach all the leading backbones of the Xiyuan Army, so he also thought carefully that he could dig some benefits from Liu Wei. And it was his good brother who took over as the lieutenant general of the Xiyuan Army, didn't he take everyone away and dismantle his brother's platform? The Xiyuan army is well paid, and it can be said that it is the best-treated army in the Han Empire, and with the same treatment promised by Liu Wei, there is no need to worry about not being able to recruit excellent soldiers.

Jiang Qi snickered.

After Jiang Qi left, Zhao Yun took over the post of lieutenant general of the Xiyuan Army and began to command this powerful army in the world.

Because Zhao Yun made many meritorious achievements in the battle to suppress the Xiliang rebels, and accompanied Liu Wei to escort the Qiang people, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Yongchang Pavilion by Liu Bian.

Then he couldn't help it, and hinted at the matter of the princess of Wannian to him. Zhao Yun didn't say much, knelt on the ground and said, "If Your Majesty sends an edict, the ministers will naturally comply." ”

Liu Wei was helpless, if he forcibly lowered the edict and persecuted it, what would it become. Liu Bianke couldn't pull his face. The twisted melon was not sweet, so I had to say with a bitter face: "Let's forget this matter first." ”

Xun You relieved the siege of Chang'an because of his surprise attack on the Xiliang rebel camp, which played a decisive role in the final victory, and was also promoted from the commander of the Xiyuan Army to the commander of the military division.

In Liu Wei's heart, he had already begun to plan to integrate the scattered management of the military divisions of various armies and divisions, and to form a military division office similar to the staff headquarters of later generations. Xun You is the best person to manage this emerging department in his heart, but the only problem is that Xun You's military merits are not enough and his qualifications are too shallow.

After the reform of the military system, all military merits were assessed and declared by the independent military judiciary in each army, and then the emperor or the general's office promoted them according to the size of the military merits. Military merits are written on it, and the personal opinions of the commander-in-chief of the army, the generals of the general's palace, and sometimes even the emperor himself have very little influence on the evaluation of military merits. If you want to be promoted unusually, not only must you have a full reason, but all the generals in the general's palace must clearly agree, and finally the emperor himself can sign the edict. It's very troublesome. And just like that, you have to be prepared to face criticism.

The highest commander of the Military Division's Mansion is naturally the General of the Military Division, but he still has to enter the General's Mansion. Xun You's time in office is still short, not only is his prestige insufficient, but his military merits have not reached the level of being promoted from a military advisor of more than 1,000 stones to a general of the general's mansion with 2,000 stones.

If Liu Wei relied on the power of imperial power, bypassing the military judiciary and directly promoting Xun You, it was not impossible in theory. It's just that doing so will not only attract the criticism of other ministers and scholars, but also be unacceptable to the arrogant Xun You. Moreover, the independent military merit evaluation system was stipulated by Liu Wei himself, and he could not break the rules he had set by himself, which was extremely harmful to the reform. Shang Ying's change of law is still in the Yuan Sect to win the trust of the people, and it is even more impossible for Liu Wei to slap himself in the face.

Therefore, he had no choice but to worship Lu Zhi as a military general. However, the preparation and daily management of the Military Division's Mansion were actually handled by Xun You with Lu Zhi's assistance. Although the position has not been reached, Xun You is actually the founder and manager of the Great Han Military Division.

After the Xiyuan Army was rewarded, Huangfu Song was also rewarded by Liu Wei.

Although in the entire campaign to counterinsurgency, Huangfu Song had the flaws of defeat and loss of territory in the early stage, but in the future Chang'an defense battle and the final decisive battle with the rebels, Huangfu Song had a good performance. Especially when guarding Chang'an, he did not avoid arrows and bravely killed the enemy, which finally made the rebels unable to attack for a long time, and bought time for the imperial court to rush.

And Huangfu Song's fame and prestige in the imperial court are also what Liu Wei has to rely on. Therefore, the reward for him cannot be thin, not only restored him to the title of Marquis of Huaili, but also worshiped him as a former general, entered the general's mansion, and still held the position of general Sili.

The grace is great, and the emperor is naturally grateful, and he is determined to repay the emperor's grace with death.

Sima Wu Kuang of the Northern Army also turned positive. Lu Zhi is now wearing many positions, and he can no longer serve as a lieutenant general of the Northern Army, and turning Wu Kuang into a regular is not only a reward for merit, but also a good management of the Northern Army.

And Liu Bei made two envoys, both of which made great contributions. Defeat Ma Teng Han Sui and cut off the alliance of the Xiliang rebels; With the Son of Heaven into Qiang, he was responsible for negotiations, so that Xiqiang was annexed, and Qiang was no longer chaotic. Liu Wei had already issued an edict to worship him as the general of the Qiang Protector, and gave him the title of Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion.

Guan Yu succeeded Wu Kuang as the military commander of the Northern Army, and Zhang Fei also had another reward.

Zhang Ji was worshiped as the general of Liangzhou and the Marquis of Pingyang. Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu was also sent to Liu Wei as a hostage, Liu Wei trusted Zhang Xiu's ability and loyalty, and arranged to the Northern Army, replacing Guan Yu as the captain of the Yue Cavalry, because he also had the great merit of killing the thief leader Li Dao, so he was also sealed as a Guan Neihou, 300 households, and 100 catties of gold.

As for the candidate for Liangzhou Mu, Liu Wei chose Ma Riyan.

Since the Jingzhou incident, Ma Riyan has been extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Kui and the Yuan family, and has deliberately gradually distanced himself. Transferring him from Jingshi to serve as the pastor of Liangzhou, Liu Wei's intention was also to continue to divide the Yuan clan's power in the court.

Ding Yuan, the general of Bingzhou, added the post of General Zuo and also entered the General's Mansion.

Lu Bu, the lieutenant general of the state army, captured Hedong County as the vanguard, gave the rebels the most fatal blow, and killed Han Xian and Hu Cai, won or lost Li Heng, and made great achievements, and the title was directly promoted from Duting Marquis to Wen Marquis, and led the post of general of Zhenbei, and still annexed the state army Zhonglang general.

Yang Feng, who surrendered, became the captain of Hedong under the protection of Lu Bu, and led the army to defend the town in Hedong.

Yingbo, a famous minister in the Huan Ling period, has outstanding political achievements, and has been relocated to the position of Guanglu doctor. His father was also a famous minister during the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, not only good at raising talents, but also very good at handling ethnic relations. Liu Wei remembered that in the face of Li Dao Guo Yan's chaos in Chang'an, as a civil servant, he still waved his sword to resist the enemy, and said angrily: "As a minister of the country, you can't stop the violence and cause the thieves to go to the palace, what do you want?" "Righteousness is righteousness.

is also a loyal minister, arranged in Hedong Liu Wei rest assured.

Even Wang Yun, who provided logistical support for grain and grass for the Bingzhou Army in the rear, was also praised by Liu Wei and was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei.

In doing so, Liu Wei also had the intention of winning over and dividing, and he was still trying to deal with Yuan Kui.

Lu Zhi and Xun Yu were also commended for providing logistical support.

Everyone was rewarded, but only one person, Liu Wei, was worried.

Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's contribution in the counterinsurgency campaign is not small, not to mention the contribution of the army and the negotiation of following Liu Wei into the Qiang. Cao Cao's greatest achievement was to accumulate grain in the fields, which provided great logistical support for the imperial court to quell the rebellion.

Nowadays, the work of the imperial court has been regularized with Cao Cao's efforts, and the new agricultural tools, farming methods and seeds have greatly increased the grain production, and the people have gathered to live and work in peace and contentment. The hard power of the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger.

If you find a place in the court, it will be easy to reward Cao Cao. It's just that not long ago, a letter from Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, made Liu Wei embarrassed about Cao Cao's reward.
