Chapter 47: Reward
Jingshi, Luoyang.
The news of Jizhou's victory has already spread to Luoyang City at night.
The people rushed to tell each other, the courtiers were also happy, and even Liu Hong, the son of the Han Dynasty, heard the good news, and he didn't sleep all night.
Early this morning, the court meeting was held, and the Han Tianzi, who has always cherished money and was very stingy, heard that the treasury was empty, and he couldn't even take out the money to reward the meritorious ministers, so it was very rare to take out a part of the treasure from his private treasury as a reward.
First of all, after understanding the specific process, the son of Han Tianzi, who had not yet been established, did not give this reward to Dong Zhuo, the Zhonglang general he had high hopes for, but the general Hu Zhen.
Hu Zhen had the merit of killing Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, and this time he broke Zhang Liang's men and horses and swept away the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou in one fell swoop. The limelight overpowered Dong Zhuo.
This made Liu Hong a little suspicious, on the battlefield in Jizhou, did he use the wrong person!
"This is my loyalty, bravery, and good general!"
A sentence of "good general" praised, that is, Hu Zhen, a fierce general of Xiliang, was promoted to a very high position.
Regarding Hu Zhen's specific official promotion, he waved his hand, intending to let Hu Zhen directly lead the Jizhou pastor and appease the local government.
However, the members of Shangshutai strongly opposed it.
thinks that Hu Zhen's prestige is not enough, and it is difficult to take office with two big victories in Jizhou alone. In fact, there is still some dislike for Hu Zhen, how can Dong Zhuo, who is a martial artist in the Xiliang borderland, lead Jizhou, a vast and rich land?
Liu Hong was a little angry in his heart, and Yu Hu Zhen felt more and more that it was available, but on the surface, he had to compromise.
After several days of arguments, the ninth good news came from Hu Zhen, and the generals, such as Zhizhi, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong, usually in the mountains, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and most of the Yellow Turbans of the three subordinate countries, recalled the displaced people and stabilized the place, and the courtiers finally handed over a satisfactory answer to Liu Hong after heated discussions.
Hu Zhen killed Zhang Jiao, killed Zhang Liang, and the main force of the Yellow Turban, in order to pacify most of Jizhou, and received the temporarily vacant post of Qingzhou Thorn History.
Qingzhou Thorn History, don't look at it as the governor of Qingzhou, but since the Yellow Turban Incident, internal bandits have continued, and if you want to stabilize Qingzhou, in the long run, it is more difficult than winning a battle in Jizhou.
In addition to the reward of Qingzhou Thorn History, in order to show his favor, Liu Hong also named him Hanchang Hou, and there was also a treasure.
Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and other outstanding generals will be rewarded.
Wei Zhonglang will Dong Zhuo, because of the previous exploits, plus the subsequent mistakes, the merits are offset, but the original official position was dismissed.
In addition to the heroes of the Jizhou war, taking this opportunity, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, rewarded the emperor Song again, and took him as the pastor of Jizhou.
……
Under the Luoyang Award, the news came out, and the morale of the Han army was greatly improved.
However, the generals on the battlefield were a few happy and a few angry.
The most annoyed is Dong Zhuo.
By virtue of the previous victory, if he had not fallen into the Yellow Turban Army at that time, he would have been rewarded by the Son of Heaven and promoted to the knighthood, but he himself.
Who knew that the general Hu Zhen had overshadowed him, and his other position was now higher than him.
Dong Zhuo was even more angry that he was seriously injured and retreated that day, and sent a letter to Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and other generals to ask him to lead his troops and advance Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's departments.
However, several generals joined forces, ignored his military orders, and chose to defend the city.
Later, Zhang Bao led his troops, constantly chasing him, and was very embarrassed, after destroying most of his men and horses, and she chose to enter the city to hold on, she calmly retreated. After turning south, he attacked Dongjun again, killed the army of Huangfu Song, who was planning to go north, and returned to the horse gun.
In this way, the defeat of Jizhou has affected the people of the two states, and it has made the Yellow Turban Army rampant.
Therefore, his defeat has become the laughing stock of the world.
Compared with his own generals, Dong Zhuo felt that if he was a play, how could he not be annoyed.
Although the general Hu Zhen, who later had assistance, praised the merits of the Son of Heaven, and appeared to be benevolent and respectful, it was still difficult to change his separation from the generals here, and even with Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and other generals, Dong Zhuo was also suspicious.
On the day he received the imperial edict, Dong Zhuo once again received a letter of greeting from Hu Zhen, who ignored it at all, and then led the remnants of his troops to return directly to Luoyang to accept the call of Liu Hong, the son of heaven.
Similarly, far away in Guangzong, although Hu Zhen had already obtained the edict of the Son of Heaven, he was not happy knowing Dong Zhuoyu's attitude.
He has been following Dong Zhuo for several years.
Like many Xiliang men, he admired the heroes here when he was young.
However, today, the two of them have turned against each other, and he is not a grass and tree, how can he be insensitive?
When he looked at the edict of the Son of Heaven on the desk again, Hu Zhen gradually calmed down again.
The matter has come to this point, and the Son of Heaven also appointed him as the assassin of Qingzhou, and even the marquis, which was something that had never been thought of before the war.
In the previous speculation, the imperial court was at most rewarded for his military exploits, or for a rich land. However, what I got was much more than I imagined.
"Huangfu Song is on the road, wait for it to arrive, and after handing over the affairs at hand, I should also go to Qingzhou to take office!"
Thinking of the large-scale Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, the situation is unpredictable, and Hu Zhen once again suffers from gains and losses.
Suddenly he thought of someone.
Liu Qi.
After Zhang Liang's victory in the battle that day, Liu Qi took the initiative to ask for his life, led the villagers, and followed the army to quell the local rebellion.
After thinking about it, Hu Zhen planned to meet Liu Qi before taking office.
A day later, hundreds of miles away from Guangzong, in Xindu County.
Liu Qi, together with Fang Zhen and others, was on the bank of a bamboo forest, escorting the army's grain and grass, while discussing the next move of the villagers.
Now, with the swift and rapid posture of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou has long become a major disaster.
As the end of the year approaches, perhaps around the first month, most counties and counties in Jizhou can return to a state of tranquility, but it is almost impossible to go back to the past.
He and his fellow villagers came to the Jizhou battlefield, and they were almost about to complete their recruitment duties and return to their hometowns.
However, although the war in Jizhou was peaceful, the chaos in other parts of the Han Dynasty had just begun.
"Pavilion Chief, this letter is over, can I continue to move forward?"
And see the pavilion pawn Zhao Cheng said.
Liu Qi squinted his eyes and said: "There are General Xu and others, who galloped to attack the city, at least in Anping, there is no big war."
Our recruitment duty is mainly to cooperate with the regular army of the imperial court to defeat the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and now it is almost time to go home, and wait for the imperial court to order! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded from the distant avenue.
After months of fighting, everyone had already been alert, and without Liu Qi's orders, the villagers picked up their swords and spears and had already stood on favorable terrain.
When the sound of horses' hooves approached, they looked at the soldiers with flags on their backs, and everyone was relieved.
The cavalryman came to the crowd, and after hearing Liu Qi, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "The general has an order, please go to Nangong!" ”
