The remnant sun was like blood, reflecting the earth scarlet, and even the verdant peaks were a little red, looking delicate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whining~

Finally, Zhong Hui saw that the army had been fighting hard for a day, leaving a piece of stump under the towering city wall of Chang'an, and after the remnants of the soldiers broke their arrows, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops, and the sound of horns and whimpered like a wailing sound, which made Zhong Hui, who was already angry, more and more ashamed.

"Haha, this damn Liangzhou soldier has finally retreated, if it weren't for the corpse in this place, I would have to wonder if this soldier was made of iron!"

It was a majestic man who spoke, nearly forty years old, but not at all old, and there was a bright light in the leopard's eyes, which showed that this was a wise and brave man.

It's just that at this time, he was also a little panting, there were a few drops of sweat on his bronze forehead, and he was also tired between his eyebrows, and the long sword in his hand was even more bloodstained, indicating that he had experienced a vicious battle before.

"Brother Yuan Kai, this bell will be really extraordinary, the trained army is also a warrior who dares to fight, attacking in turns all day, the 30,000 army has actually climbed the city tower five times, if it is not for the general's desperate resistance, I am afraid the victory or defeat is unpredictable!"

It was Hu Fen who spoke, with a figure of only six feet, a body of tall tendons and bulging tendons, and thick arms, at this time he was also a little depressed, but his face was hard to hide his excitement.

After a day's battle, the two sides fought to the death in this square inch, leaving a corpse on the ground, and the Wei army came with a high fighting spirit of rebellion, but the first battle was lost.

However, they were not without gains, at least they used 30,000 troops to lure out all the defensive forces in Chang'an City, paid the price of 8,000 killed, nearly 10,000 wounded and sick, destroyed 2,000 enemies, and consumed countless instruments and knives and arrows in the city.

But Zhong Hui also knew that his time was running out, after all, Luo Du would not sit idly by, if the reinforcements arrived, he would not have enough food to store, and he would probably collapse without a fight.

Listening to the constant mourning from inside the camp, Zhong Hui became more and more upset, and when a herald sent the information they had inquired about, Zhong Hui was startled.

"What? What do you mean is that when Liu Chen took advantage of our army to attack Chang'an, he sent troops to take Shangyong Fangling? ”

At the same time, a sense of jealousy and hatred rose in his heart.

You must know that the biggest defeat in his life is due to Liu Chen, and Liu Chen still relies on sneak attacks, which makes him quite unconvinced, but at this time he is in charge and can't care about Liu Chen.

After thinking for a long time, Zhong Hui also calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and then muttered for a long time, and ordered:

"Summons to Ju'an to come to see me!"

Soon Ju An came to see Zhong Hui, looked at this man who was usually not valued by himself, Zhong Hui suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said gently:

"General Guangping, can you adapt to it in the army recently?"

Ju An knew that he surrendered to Wei because he was a Shu general, which made many people look down on him, and Zhong Hui usually didn't pay much attention to him, so he must have something to do by himself at this time.

Ju'an, who has always been eager to prove himself with merits, saw Zhong Hui like this, hurriedly showed a grateful look, and solemnly arched his hand:

"Thank you Da Sima for taking care of me, the last general is still fine!"

The more Ju'an is like this, the more Zhong Hui looks down on him, and he doesn't force himself to behave hypocritically, but he is impatient:

"At this time, Liu Chen, the king of Qi of Shu, is marching to Kou Jingbei, and it is beneficial for Yu Wu to conquer the rebellion, and you will immediately go to Jingbei in the starry night, and ask Liu Chen to attack Xinye no matter what, on the condition that he cede a county of Xiangyang in Jingbei, you know?"

Ju'an saw that Zhong would be like this, and at the same time he was a little dissatisfied with the bitterness in his heart, so he went south lightly after receiving the order, preparing to take a detour to Jingbei.

Watching Ju'an go away, Zhong Hui's originally somewhat depressed mood became active again, looking at Chang'an City, which was like a gluttonous beast in the dark night, and said to himself:

"With Liu Chen's ability, it must not be impossible to take Xinye, if this is the case, then Chang'an will definitely turn to reinforcements, why not worry about my world-class achievements?"

Hahahaha~

A wanton wild laugh came out, which was incompatible with the solemnity of the entire camp, and even a little ugly.

When this news reached Hanzhong, Jiang Wei suddenly smiled and seemed very happy, after all, reviving the Han dynasty and expanding the territory was his and his mentor Zhuge Liang's lifelong pursuit.

Seeing that Liu Chen was so good, Jiang Wei's last trace of doubt also dissipated, and he had made up his mind that as long as this battle was over, he would ask himself to resign from the position of general, after all, Liu Chen would be more suitable.

The news reached the hands of Liu Chan, who was working day and night on the preparation of military equipment, although Liu Chan's eyes were red and swollen, he was laughing loudly, and he was satisfied.

Ascending to the court and sitting in columns, the minister sang and retreated and sat on the couch, waiting for Liu Chan to speak.

Since Liu Chan rose up, he felt that he was very sharp, and he was also in high spirits at this time, and said loudly:

"This time to attack the Jin thieves, the king of Qi and the generals fought bravely, and finally won this victory, it is really a lonely luck, a great man's luck!"

"Your Majesty is wise! King Qi is mighty! ”

When the minister heard this, he had his own thoughts, but he still pretended to be excited and sang it.

"This time the generals have made a lot of contributions, Zhang Bogong, Wen Ciqian, Zhuge Shang, etc., let's talk about how to reward them alone?"

The rewards of these people are simple, Zhang Yijin is the prince of Shangyong County, Wen Yang is the marquis of Guannei, and the rest of the generals have their own rewards, but most of them are based on titles and official positions.

Seeing that the rewards of these people were handled, only Liu Chen was left, and Liu Chan was ready to reward Liu Chen, so he spoke first:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the King of Qi established this achievement, washed away the decline of the Han Kingdom, and let the Han Dynasty regain its vitality.

As soon as Liu Chan said this, although the people below were excited, their brows furrowed, and their eyes always glanced at the front row, Liu Xuan and several people.

Not to mention the crown prince Liu Xuan, he was already crowned the crown prince, but Liu Yao and others were crowned kings together with Liu Chen, and they were all county kings, such as the king of the north before Liu Chen, who was a county in the north of Sili.

But Liu Chen quietly went out to Hanzhong, but he was directly named the king of Qi, and he was already the king of a country.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi established this merit, it is indeed a high merit of hard work, but the land of my Han country is few and sparsely populated, and the reward is afraid that it is uncomfortable, and the reward is even more unreasonable, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

It was the great Confucian Zhou who spoke, before he said that he was sick and did not go to court, this time Liu Chan hoped that he would repent, so he deliberately let him participate in the court meeting, but as soon as this statement came out, Liu Chan's face turned green again.

Since ancient times, it is natural to reward meritorious service, and the reward is also divided into three kinds: rewarding silver, fiefdom, and adding a knight, Liu Chen is already almost the same as the prince of Qi, and there is really no lord to be sealed.

But just now, Qian Zhou also said that Shuchuan is not abundant, and the reward silver is not good, so there is only a reward fief.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with Doctor Guanglu's words, since His Royal Highness the King of Qi has restored the Shangyong Tomb, why not reward him with the new county?"

It was Zhang Shao who spoke too often, and he agreed with Zhou Zhou's words just to compliment the prince, and sure enough, Zhang Shao looked at it vaguely, and Liu Xuan had a grateful look.

"The two adults said this badly, saying that His Royal Highness's work is in Qianqiu Sheji, how can a small county be? Why not count the counties of Jingbei, Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Jiangxia? If the merit is not rewarded, I am afraid it will chill the soldiers! ”

Deng Liang, the commander of the horse, has always had a good relationship with Liu Xuan, and he is a relative of the country, so he has always wanted to gain power and profit, and at this time, he couldn't bear Liu Chen's power, so he hurriedly said:

"Zhang Shangshu disagrees with this, although the King of Qi has great achievements, he still only has two big cities, there are so many cities and counties in the world, how can he be rewarded in the future?"

"Qi played the father, the son feels that the words of the doctor are reasonable, although the five brothers have great merits, but there are laws since ancient times, and the national law and family law should be respected!"

The prince was deeply saddened at this time, he hated Liu Chen in his heart, and his desire to kill Liu Chen became stronger and stronger, and he could already feel Liu Chen's more and more obvious threat.

He couldn't say anything himself, so he could only take out the ancestral training law to tell Liu Chan that the fiefdom of the king should not be large, otherwise the tail would not be big.

Moreover, since ancient times, the royal family could not lead troops, and it was obvious that Liu Xuan still did not want Liu Chen to lead troops.

Everyone talked about it, and there was more and more that Liu Chen should be unrewarded for his achievements, which made Liu Chan very angry.

Although Zhuge Zhan was mediocre, he also saw the situation, and noticed that Liu Chan had a vague aura on his body, which was a symptom of anger, so he said:

"Your Majesty, the merit of this matter lies in Sheji, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and you can make the decision on this matter, Your Majesty!"
