Chapter 14 On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds
Li Xuan rose to the north and annexed the three northern states with the momentum of whale swallowing, replacing the Yuan Shao, the northern overlord who was originally in the eyes of the world, after annexing Jizhou, he should have been regarded as a well-deserved northern overlord, for a while, the world was shocked, and the princes on the verge of Hebei were even more dangerous, after all, Li Xuan rose too fast and too strong, who would have thought that the Yuan family, who would have thought that the Yuan family, who was the third prince of the fourth world, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials all over the world, would be defeated in the hands of a martial artist without the slightest foundation.
Hanoi and Hedong quickly formed a small alliance against Li Xuan, and at the same time, Li Yu and Guo Yan of Chang'an also subconsciously increased the supply of troops to the area around Bingzhou, and no one knew which side Li Xuan would attack next.
Even Cao Cao, after returning to Xuchang, quickly organized troops, and even sent the general Cao Ren to garrison the Baima area to strictly prevent the soldiers and horses of Longcheng from taking the opportunity to cross the river.
And Li Xuan, after annexing the land of Sanzhou in one go, did not continue to expand the results of the war as the world thought, but began to restrain the soldiers and horses of all parties, and officially incorporated the original Jizhou army into various battalions to enrich his own soldiers and horses.
At the beginning of the war, coupled with Shuo Fang Yue Fei's soldiers and horses, Longcheng could only use more than 100,000 soldiers in the Three Kingdoms plane, but now, a big war was fought, not only did the troops not decrease, but continued to grow like a snowball, and now there are millions of troops in Sanzhou, far more than ten times the soldiers and horses of Longcheng headquarters, this is a very dangerous number, if not sorted out in time, this million troops will not only not be able to become the foundation of Longcheng, but may become a bomb that may explode at any time, so the most important thing for Longcheng to do at this moment is not to continue to expand externally, Instead, stop and digest the results of this battle.
When these three states were truly completely subdued, Li Xuan could be called the true overlord of the north.
Dragon City, Chaotian Palace, after the big victory, it is natural to reward the ministers, and all the civil and military generals can't help but have anticipation and excitement on their faces. All present are the core generals under Li Xuan's account, and they naturally know some things that others don't know, and the officials here represent not only status and glory, but also the mysterious and unpredictable divine position, although most people are ignorant about this thing. But as long as the Wenchen generals who have enjoyed the treatment of the god rank are very aware of the wonder, just doubling the cultivation speed is enough to make countless people crazy.
"Yue Fei!" Li Xuan looked at the first person on the left hand of the hall and said in a deep voice.
"The minister is here!" Yue Fei said with a modest smile on his face and a slight bow.
"In this battle, Yue Fei took command, swept through the state, and expanded the territory of our Dragon City. Moreover, the whole territory of Bingzhou was brought under the rule of my dragon city, and he repelled Qianghu three times, worked hard, and specially sealed Yue Fei as the Marquis of Dingbian, enjoyed the position of auxiliary god, and gave the supreme war soul a piece, ten thousand taels of gold, and thousands of cattle and sheep. Li Xuan waved his pen. On the list of gods in his hand, Yue Fei's name lit up with a heroic light. Flashing with multicolored light.
And His Highness, Yue Fei suddenly felt that the true qi in his body that had reached the critical point exploded, and an astonishing momentum soared into the sky, and at the same time, rolling dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above Dragon City. Electric snakes shuttled through the clouds.
The sky is a vision, and the military generals are at their peak!?
Everyone looked towards Yue Fei, and many generals showed envious looks in their eyes, the peak of military generals, that is a realm that many generals will be difficult to achieve in their lifetime. Looking at the world, I am afraid that the only one who can reach this level is Wenhou Lu Bu, who was under the tiger prison in the past and stood out from the crowd.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Feeling the surging power in the body, and without the slightest stagnation, in the dantian, the originally full golden pill suddenly shrank to the size of a mung bean at this moment, but the momentum it exuded was more than ten times stronger than before, the peak of the martial arts, theoretically, is already the limit of this plane, and at the same time, the addition of dragon qi made Yue Fei's already not low cultivation speed twice as fast, Rao Yi Yue Fei's heart was strong, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement.
"I heard that Mrs. Yue gave birth to Lin'er a month ago." Li Xuan smiled and nodded, looking at Yue Feidao.
"Not bad." Hearing this, Yue Fei couldn't help but have a few wisps of tenderness on his face, and nodded: "The minister has named it Yue Yun." β
"It's a pity that I couldn't congratulate at the time of frequent wars, so this I Ching Cleansing Pill should be a congratulatory gift." Li Xuan took out a jade bottle from the space and handed it to the eunuch beside him, smiling.
"This ...... It's too precious. Yue Fei hurriedly pushed back and said, the I Ching Pulp Cleansing Pill, the holy medicine developed by the Nai Dan Academy, cannot improve the power, nor does it have any curative effect, but it can improve the innate root bones of people, compared to the ability to improve the power or some healing holy medicine, the I Ching Cleansing Pill can almost be called a miracle medicine, even if it is the Dan Academy, now only three pieces are produced.
The other generals looked at Yue Fei with even more envy, this favor almost made people jealous, but Yue Fei's exploits were there, even if he was envious and jealous, no one could say anything, Yue Fei's merits were completely worthy of this favor.
"You deserve it." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Yue Fei listens to the order!" β
When Yue Fei heard this, his face turned grim, and he hurriedly bowed down to answer the order.
"Although the Marquis of Dingbian is only an honorary marquis, it is of great significance, ordering you to be the governor of the western region, lead the military affairs of the state, guard against the invasion of Li Yu, Guo Yan and others, and at the same time closely monitor the movements of the princes of Sili and Xiliang, and if necessary, you can act cheaply!" Li Xuan said in a deep voice, the honorary marquis is also the highest title he can seal in the Han Dynasty physique now.
"Obey orders!" Yue Fei respectfully agreed: "After the courtiers, go home and explain, and set off immediately!" β
"Don't worry, there are still some things to do, and the military affairs of the state, temporarily handed over to Qin Shubao, after March, you will set off again to replace Qin Shubao, in addition, this time to go to the state, I am afraid it will take a few years, take your family with you, so as not to suffer from the separation of flesh and blood, Xiao Yueyun has just been born, I don't want the little pioneer in the future to complain that I let him have no father by his side in his childhood." Li Xuan said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Yue Fei at this moment, and they had turned into complete jealousy, what kind of trust was needed to dare to let a general like Yue Fei, who held the military power of one side, take his family to take office with his family?
"Lord, ......" Yue Fei's eyes turned a little red, and the feeling of being trusted in his heart was like a wave, constantly impacting his heart.
"Okay, man's husband, don't be this daughter!" Li Xuan said with a smile, not to mention Yue Fei's talent, his provenance alone was enough to reassure Li Xuan.
"The minister will be the Lord's great cause, and he will not give up!" Yue Fei stood up, his eyes flashing with an unprecedentedly determined look. His loyalty to Li Xuan is already a diehard loyalist, and he can't mention it anymore, but if there is a higher level of loyalty above the diehard, then Yue Fei at this moment is undoubtedly that level.
"Zhao Yun!"
Li Xuan then looked at Zhao Yundao.
"The last general!" Zhao Yun strode with his head held high and came to His Highness. Salute.
"In this battle, Zilong stepped on Yanyun, swept the three counties of Jizhou, and contained Yuan Shao's main force in Liyang, so that our army could calmly arrange Jizhou, the battle of Jizhou, to be able to eliminate Yuan Shao so smoothly, Zilong contributed a lot, and now Feng Zilong is the Marquis of Dingyuan. Enjoy the position of auxiliary god, give a supreme war spirit, 10,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 heads of cattle and sheep! With a stroke of the pen, on the god list, Zhao Yun's name also lit up with colorful brilliance.
"Ang~"
Almost at the same time, Zhao Yun's body was filled with a majestic momentum. Faintly, there seemed to be a silver dragon looming above Zhao Yun's head. Quickly passed through the roof of the Chaotian Temple, straight into the sky, and the dark clouds that had not completely dissipated were blown by this momentum and immediately dissipated.
Another pinnacle general!
The expressions of the ministers looking at Zhao Yun at this moment became a little numb, like a peak general. It's suddenly worthless.
Zhao Yun was originally a king-level general, although he did not follow Li Xuan to fight in the plane, but in Longcheng, Ping Wuhuan and no Huns swept Xianbei. In the training again and again, he has already made his martial arts reach the level of the peak of the king general, and now the dragon qi is infused with the body, and the achievement of the auxiliary god karma position, the emergency peak, is naturally a matter of course.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Feeling the changes in his body, Zhao Yun suppressed his excitement and bowed again.
"Zilong is loyal and righteous, this is what you deserve! But ......" Li Xuan didn't have much expression on his face, his voice raised, and he said in a deep voice: "Merit will be rewarded, and there will be punishment, this is the purpose of my Dragon City, Yi Jing fights, sit back and watch the surrender will be killed and indifferent, although the situation can be avoided, but the law is not merciful, the merit is not worth it, from today onwards, the punishment will be one year, go to the plains to the border, within one year, the same pawn, no one shall have the slightest preferential treatment because of his identity, you can admit punishment?" β
"Cloud admit punishment!" Zhao Yun knelt on one knee, looked up at Li Xuan, and said solemnly: "But Zilong has no regrets!" β
"There is no need to regret it, punishing you is the law, but for personal gain, Guan Jing is a minister, at the end of the road, and he has turned his back on the old master, which is understandable, but it is not human to kill the old master and kill his wife and children, what you do, it is not tolerated by the law, but public opinion is pitiful, so there is no need to feel guilty." Li Xuan said coldly.
"Thank you, lord!" Zhao Yun said happily.
"After three months, I set off for the plains to take up my post, during which I was not allowed to show my real name, nor was I allowed to reveal my identity without authorization, and everything was based on the standard of ordinary soldiers." Li Xuan nodded.
"Lord, we are willing to exchange all our merits for General Zilong's freedom, please ask the lord to be merciful!" Behind Zhao Yun, Luo Feng, Kou Zhong, and Tang Jun suddenly came out of the queue and knelt down to plead.
"Ridiculous!" Li Xuan frowned, and said coldly: "Merit is merit, merit is fault, merit and demerit cannot be offset, I remember that I have said it before, do you need me to repeat it again?" β
Kou Zhong stiffened his neck and said: "Kou Zhong was also present at that time, and he didn't stop Gongsun Zan from killing Guan Jing, if the lord wants to cure General Zilong's crimes, please also treat Kou Zhong's crimes together!" β
Luo Feng and Tang Jun are Li Xuan's old ministers, so they naturally don't dare to talk with their necks like Kou Zhong, but looking at the appearance of the two, they obviously have the same idea.
"Okay, the reward will be awarded first, and after three months, like Zhao Yun, as a recruit, he will enter the plain military camp!" Li Xuan nodded.
Kou Zhong, Luo Feng, Tang Jun, Wu Yunzhao, Qin Shubao, Xu Huang and other generals who participated in the war have all obtained the sub-god god position, and the cultivation has obtained different degrees of breakthroughs, in addition, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao and others who participated in the war in the later period also won the reward from the god position, the primary level of the human emperor, there are four auxiliary gods, sixteen sub-gods and sixty-four from the god position, this battle, nearly half of them were sealed, although there was no peak general, but after this reward, a number of important generals under the account are all different degrees of breakthroughs.
"Jizhou is initially decided, and a large number of talents are needed to govern, Du Rumei." After the reward was completed, Li Xuan began to sort out the internal affairs.
"The minister is here." Du Rumei came out of the queue and bowed.
"Among all the strategists, you are the most proficient in politics, and you will temporarily replace the history of Jizhou, enter Yecheng, take charge of Jizhou government affairs, and restore the livelihood of Jizhou as soon as possible!" Li Xuan took out the imperial seal, a holy decree appeared out of thin air, as soon as it was printed, Du Rumei's body trembled, and a strange feeling arose, and his mind moved, and the holy decree in the air automatically fell into his hands.
"Minister, take the order!" Du Rumei bowed and said, at this moment, no one pursued Li Xuan's ultra vires behavior, all the capable ministers here are Li Xuan's henchmen, and many people are transferred from other planes, so naturally they will not have any objections to this.
"Jizhou is the most prosperous place in the three states that our army now controls, but it is also the most chaotic place, Xu Huang, order you to be the general of Fenwei, lead 10,000 Longcheng forbidden troops, and 100,000 merge states to surrender troops into Yecheng to help Du Rumei stabilize Jizhou." Li Xuan said in a deep voice.
"The last general obeys!" Xu Huang took a step forward and bowed.
"Feng Lin Chong is the general of the thief, Yang Zhi and Hua Rong are the captains of the thief, leading the Longcheng Guards 10,000, and the state to surrender 100,000 troops, stationed in Julu, and quell the rebel party in Montenegro!" Li Xuan looked at Lin Chong's several Liangshan generals, although they are only first-class generals now, but the Montenegrin thieves don't seem to have higher-level generals, and the three of them can be regarded as rare generals, the three of them may not be able to win millions of Montenegrin thieves, but with Lin Chong's calmness, Hua Rong's shrewdness and Yang Zhi's bravery, there is no need to worry about being defeated by the Montenegrin army.
"The last general obeys!" Lin Chong and the three of them came out of the queue and bowed.
"Okay, this is the end of today's court meeting, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Kou Zhong, Luo Feng, Tang Jun, the five of you go back and make arrangements, and go to Dongtian Pavilion to see me tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
The ministers each had their own rewards, and they happily went back to their respective homes, but Kou Zhong and the others did not look very good-looking, because after three months, they were going to the plains to be a one-year soldier, which was undoubtedly a very torturous thing for the three new stars on the battlefield who had begun to take charge of their own style, but the three of them were not stupid people, and it was natural to see that Li Xuan only cut them to their official positions, but did not deprive them of their divine positions, obviously not really to suppress them, but had other deep meanings, but even so, it was inevitable that there was still some mustard in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Kou Zhong, Luo Feng, and Tang Jun came to the Dongtian Pavilion on time, the Dongtian Pavilion is the entrance to the Phantom World Cave, which used to be just a barren manor, and was later rebuilt by Li Xuan and became an ancient tower-style building. It is also the best group of talents under Li Xuan's command today.
The five of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. (To be continued......)
