Chapter 31: Reward

Dong Liang returned to Luoyang with the cavalry quickly, and this time many people in Luoyang were waiting for news from him. As soon as Dong Liang returned to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo immediately began to inquire about the battle report. And when Dong Liang explained the situation in private, and then immediately made Dong Zhuo feel extremely happy, because Dong Liang annihilated Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, although there were less than six hundred people left in the White Horse Yicong, they had completely lost their combat effectiveness at the beginning, because they could not recover in a short time. However, Dong Zhuo will also publicly announce the news next.

"My nephew Dong Liang, a few days ago, took the elite cavalry of the Xiyuan Army to test the Kwantung rebels. And that group of Kwantung rebels was vulnerable, and was annihilated by more than a thousand cavalry by my nephew Dong Liang, and hit them in the head. And these more than 1,000 cavalry are all the so-called white horse righteous servants of the anti-thief Gongsun Zhan. It is conceivable that the thieves from all walks of life are not vulnerable at all, and they are not worth mentioning! Dong Zhuo laughed and said.

And those ministers above the court all felt a burst of horror, and they didn't expect that more than a thousand elite cavalry would be annihilated in the first round. You must know that this is Gongsun Zhan's elite cavalry, not an ordinary cavalry! And Gongsun Chan was actually beaten on the head like this, which is too frightening. As for the next, everyone doesn't know what will happen to this group of Kwantung princes and what their combat effectiveness will be? Before the official war started, it was a slap in the outpost battle, which was simply too frightening. If they are next, will they be able to defeat Dong Zhuo?

"How did Dong Liang defeat Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong?" Huang Wan asked.

Dong Zhuo very unceremoniously and directly said Dong Liang's tactics, and everyone felt surprised, obviously they didn't expect this kind of tactic. If you really encounter this kind of tactic, you can't get rid of it, but you can't fight it, this kind of is the most helpless. And in this way, the loss of your side will be very huge, so it will be difficult at that time.

And the reason why Dong Liang was able to allow Dong Zhuo to say this "monster pulling tactic" was actually because this tactic was almost insoluble in the case of suitable terrain. If this tactic could be easily cracked, then I am afraid that the Mongols would not be able to sweep the world back then. So if you want to crack this tactic, the best way is to be able to send a large number of cavalry to besiege and besiege from all directions. But this kind of can't do it, so this rogue tactic is almost invincible. If you can't fight, you can run, completely adhering to the essence of realizing Grandpa Mao's guerrilla warfare, sticking to you like a piece of kraft candy, as long as the arrows are not consumed, you can completely clean up the enemy, and the enemy is helpless against you.

"Good! Captain Ben's nephew has made a lot of meritorious service, and it is actually the first credit to fight the Kanto rebels, so he deserves to be rewarded heavily! Dong Zhuo said.

And Emperor Liu Xie immediately asked: "Taiwei, how should we reward Captain Dong?" ”

Liu Xie's heart was dripping blood, and he originally thought that the Kwantung princes raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, which was a good thing, and he might soon be able to restore his power and become a veritable emperor. But now it ended up like this, and more than a thousand elite cavalry were annihilated in the first outpost battle, which is too frightening. And now he is still forced to start canonizing Dong Liang, which is simply unacceptable. However, now he can't help it, after all, the power is in Dong Zhuo's hands, and he is not qualified to say no.

"Since this is the case, then it is good to canonize my nephew Dong Liang as the general of the thief, and I hope that Dong Liang can continue to pacify the thieves from all walks of life in the future, and then return my big man a Lang Lang Qiankun!" Dong Zhuo said.

"Okay, since that's the case, then canonize Dong Liang as the general of the thief!" Liu Xie said helplessly.

And in this way, Dong Liang's official position was once again slightly promoted by one level, and according to the official system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the position of Zhonglang General is also an official position of 2,000 stones, but in fact, the status is higher. Especially in the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the official position of 2,000 stone was almost equivalent to the feudal officials such as the county taishou or the state pastor. Of course, this is only the same level, but the real power will definitely not be comparable in the future. However, now the troubled times have just been initially revealed, and the official positions of the army have not been too much. The position of Zhonglang General during the Three Kingdoms period was no longer valuable, but it was still very valuable at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. You must know that when Huangfu Song was able to command hundreds of thousands of troops at that time, he was just a Zhonglang general, so you can imagine the status of Zhonglang general.

And this "Ping Thief Zhonglang General" is a miscellaneous Zhonglang General, which belongs to the kind that can be named casually. Many of the lieutenants, lieutenant generals, and generals of the Han Dynasty can be named casually, according to various circumstances, and even civilian officials serve as lieutenant generals, such as Zhuge Liang, which is also the so-called military division lieutenant general. There is no uniform rule for this kind of naming, so Dong Liang, the middle general of the thief, was temporarily decided by Dong Zhuo. And a general is not so much a position as a military rank that represents your rank and position. And add a so-called name in front of the general, that is, it represents the things you are engaged in or merits, which is called a miscellaneous general or a miscellaneous general. And there is another kind of general that is, a heavy general, that is, a permanent general such as a general, and the name of a general who will not be canceled casually, this kind of general position is very important, and ordinary people cannot obtain it lightly.

In the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost no one could get the title of general, even a miscellaneous general was very difficult. The title of general was very noble during the Han Dynasty, only during the war, and if there was no war, the highest was to be able to obtain the Zhonglang General. Therefore, Dong Liang was able to obtain the Zhonglang General, which was already the highest official position that could be obtained in the early days of the troubled times. If you want to be a general, you have to be on an equal footing with your father, which is definitely not possible for the time being.

And then, Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of something, and then said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, please make a holy decree again and canonize Yang Miaozhen as the captain of the shooting voice!" ”

"What?"

Everyone was almost dizzy for this order, because everyone also knew who Yang Miaozhen was, and Yang Miaozhen was the concubine beside Dong Liang. And this time Dong Liang went out on the expedition and did not forget to bring his concubine, this was simply laughed out by countless people, obviously thinking that Dong Liang actually fought and did not forget to enjoy the beauty, this is simply ridiculous. And many veteran generals also shook their heads, but no one knew that it was Yang Miaozhen who directly commanded this battle.

But now Dong Zhuo actually wants to canonize Yang Miaozhen as the captain of the shooting sound, which is simply incredible. Because the captain of the archery is the official position of managing the archers from the official position, but in the later period, it has also become an official position that indicates the rank and status. However, the captain of the shooting sound is a veteran captain, one of the heavy captains, and his status is no less than that of many miscellaneous lieutenant generals. So if you really canonize this shooting captain and give it to Yang Miaozhen, then what's going on next? At that time, this Yang Miaozhen's identity can almost be on an equal footing with Dong Liang, so is Yang Miaozhen still Dong Liang's concubine?

"Ridiculous, how can it be possible to canonize a woman as a captain of the shooting sound?" Yang Biao couldn't help but say angrily.

Of course, Yang Biao knew that the cause of the conflict between his son and Dong Liang was also this Yang Miaozhen, but now he actually wants to canonize Yang Miaozhen as the captain of the shooting voice, which is simply unacceptable to him, when will women be able to become captains?

"Also, this woman is obviously a pariah, how can she get the important position of Captain Shooter?" Huang Wan also said.

According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, most people were given a name, and people in the Three Kingdoms period had a surname, plus a one-character name. This is also the case throughout the Three Kingdoms period, all of which are single-character names. And Yang Miaozhen's surname is Yang, and his name is Miaozhen, which is just two words, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, only criminals or untouchables would be named. And the two-character name can only be gradually restored after the Wuhu Chaohua. But now in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is true that both names are sluts, and this is also a situation where Yang Miao is really a pariah. It is precisely because of this that everyone will think that Yang Miao is really Dong Liang's woman.

And this has made many people frying, and it is an insult to let a woman and a pariah serve as an important military position as a shooting captain.

"Your Majesty, please give an order!" Dong Zhuo said coldly.

When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, obviously if he didn't give the order, then I was afraid that Dong Zhuo would start to be rude, then Liu Xie would definitely have to give an order.

"Well, since the Taiwei Baoju, then my big man also wants to use talents in an eclectic way! Therefore, I decided to crown Yang Miaozhen as the captain of the shooting sound! Liu Xie said.

And this Liu Xie has compromised, so what else can the minister say?

"Hmph, if you want to dig into my corner, that's impossible!" Dong snorted in his conscience.

Others don't know what Dong Zhuo means, but can Dong Liang not know what Dong Zhuo means? Dong Zhuo deliberately gave Yang Miaozhen a position of shooting captain, so that they were already the same in terms of official status. When the time comes, will Yang Miaozhen still be willing to be Dong Liang's concubine? And this is obviously Dong Zhuo's method of deliberately wanting to poach Yang Miaozhen. However, Dong Zhuo didn't know that Dong Liang was constrained by the female general system, so naturally he would not be poached Yang Miaozhen, a female general. So don't talk about giving Yang Miaozhen an official position with the same status as herself, even if you give Yang Miaozhen a higher position, then Yang Miaozhen is still loyal to herself, which is also a system constraint. Generally, the method of sowing discord is of no use to the female generals summoned in these systems.
