Chapter 432: Conquering the World

Yan Gang left the government office with a heavy heart, and he heard the congratulations of Zhao Yun and others, but he only felt sarcastic.

Everyone else is a lieutenant general, this one waits for that one, but it's good for him to let him fight, but he doesn't do anything?

Yan Gang couldn't figure it out, what did the emperor mean by this?!

Since it was to humiliate him, why did he still let him lead the army to Liaodong?

Gongsun Chan walked up and said to Zhao Yun and Yan Gang in a serious tone: "You two are the best generals I brought out, this time, although you have nothing to do with me, don't lose my face."

"The unification of the world is the trend of the times, and the Han family will surely prosper, so you should seize this opportunity. Don't think about the unnecessary stuff anymore, for if you go the slightest bit wrong now, you will never recover."

"That's all I have to say to you, it's up to you whether you hear it or not, but I want you to hear it."

Yan Gang clasped his fists at Gongsun Zan and said, "I will naturally listen to the general's words, but there is one thing I don't understand. Your Majesty ordered me to conquer Liaodong, why did you want to humiliate me? What does that mean?!"

Gongsun Zhan frowned slightly, "When did Your Majesty humiliate you?"

"You all have rewards, but I have left nothing, is this not a disgrace?" Yan Gang asked rhetorically.

Gongsun Chan smiled and took out a holy decree from his arms, "Your Majesty forgot, I forgot too, you can't blame Your Majesty, blame me." Everyone has been added to the ranks, how can there be no lack of you, it's impossible to think about it a little."

Yan Gang hurriedly unfolded the holy decree, and a chrysanthemum-like smile suddenly bloomed on his face.

"Relieved?" Gongsun Chan asked with a smile.

Yan Gang nodded heavily.

When there is a reward, he will naturally be at ease.

If he really treats him differently, then he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"I'll say one more thing, this battle will be the first success, but you have to listen to Jia Xu's military orders." Gongsun Zhan said uneasily, "Jia Xu is a very trusted advisor of His Majesty, and he has been with the monarch for a long time, and this time the emperor asked him to supervise the army, probably also has the intention of seeing you."

"Xiahoudun is a general of the Cao family, and His Majesty obviously intends to balance the power of the military generals in the DPRK and China, if you can seize the opportunity, I guarantee that you can go all the way to the top."

"And you." Gongsun Zhan said to Zhao Yun again, "If you fold the white horse righteousness of labor and management in Liaodong, I won't be done with you!"

Zhao Yun smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the general is righteous, and this battle will be the first to be successful."

"You're not taking me to my face now?" Yan Gang said deliberately.

Zhao Yun said in a low voice, "Don't you know that Liaodong is a battlefield for cavalry."

Yan Gang: ......

Seeing this, Gongsun Chan reminded, "You two don't fight, support each other. Even if you go to the court in the future, you will be labeled as a general of the Youzhou system, and this thing is not something that you don't have if you don't admit it. In the right way, we should help as much as we can, and we are all ministers of the same temple now."

"Whoa!" Yan Gang and Zhao Yun clasped their fists and said.

Gongsun Chan slapped the two of them away from the salute, and rebuked in a deep voice: "Du Damn just said that the same hall is a minister, what is the priority, what kind of ceremony. If this act of yours had reached the ears of His Majesty, wouldn't I have been covered in indescribable mud?"

Yan Gang suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "Gongsun envoy don't blame you, get used to it, haven't you changed it yet?"

Gongsun Chan: ......

In the blink of an eye, the half-moon period set by Liu has arrived.

But none of the remaining five princes in the world at this moment has expressed their self-dismissal power.

Liu Wei was also calm about this, but he was a little surprised.

The relationship between Liu Yan and the imperial court has long been on the same footing, and there is no room for maneuver.

But in Jingzhou, Liu Wei felt that whether it was Liu Bei or Liu Biao, they should be a little careful.

But none of these two people are on the table.

Liu Wei wondered, what did they think in their hearts?

The north is all unified, what's the use of them still freezing there?!

Since this is the case, Liu Wei does not plan to continue to be polite to them.

The imperial court now has full strength, and it is necessary to discuss the advantages and disadvantages with them.

Liu Wei immediately ordered Shangshutai and Zhenfu Division to explore the characters, mountains and terrain, and troops in Zhuzhou, and draw up a route for sending troops.

When preparing for the war in full swing, Yecheng took the first step to recover, and after a few days, Cao Cao's good news was also delivered.

Cao Cao finally conquered Qingzhou and pacified the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in Qingzhou and You.

In this battle, the population will be million!

This was the largest seizure since Liu Wei's expedition to the east and west.

One was expected, but it also caught Liu Wei off guard.

Although the Yellow Turban Army was a rebel army in the eyes of the imperial court, they were essentially ordinary people, mixed with some bandits.

When the Yellow Turban Army was fighting at the front, they were basically carrying their families behind them.

200,000 Yellow Turban troops appeared on the battlefield, and there might be 200,000 or so family members in the vicinity.

Fortunately, after recovering the lands of Hebei, Qing, and Youzhou, the grain and grass of the imperial court are finally no longer tight, otherwise the resettlement of such a large number of people is really a huge test for the imperial court.

因为这一战,尚书台直接忙成了陀螺。

Millions of people need to be dispersed to the four northern states for resettlement, and the amount of work is very huge.

But with the end of these things, the northern skies gradually cleared.

The decades-long chaos finally came to an end at this moment.

Although Liu Wei repeatedly reduced his troops, after these battles were over, the imperial court's strength still reached a height of 600,000.

At this stage, it is no longer possible for Liu Wei to reward military salaries without discrimination as before.

The army of 600,000 is really unbearable for the imperial court at this age.

After holding two small court meetings and discussing them, Liu Wei decided to treat them differently.

The Praetorian Guard is the highest grade, the West Garden Army and the five schools of the Northern Army after the reorganization and training, and the left and right Yulin Army are ranked second.

The huge 400,000 troops in the four prefectures of Hebei, You, Qing and Xu are the most basic types of troops, and they enjoy one-third of the military salary and other benefits of the Xiyuan Army, but they will be selected twice a year.

After such a change, the arms of the imperial court are truly strong and weak.

During this period, Liu Wei also summoned Jizhou's advisers and generals.

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng all entered Shangshutai as Langzhong, and Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Zhu Ling were also rewarded.

Among the generals in Jizhou, the only one who was treated differently was the general Wen Chou in Yuan Shao's heart.

This general, who was once trusted by Yuan Shao and entrusted with important tasks, was only rewarded by a captain.

After Cao Cao's class, Liu Wei was also pleasantly surprised to find Xu Huang, Han Hao and other generals who would make a difference in the future.

But this time, Liu Wei did not rob Cao Cao, and entrusted Xu Huang and others with another important task.

Instead, let them continue to stay in Cao Cao's army.

Although it is impossible for Liu Wei to admit it explicitly, this can also be regarded as a little compensation for the last misunderstanding.

The armies are in Yecheng, and the general trend is established.

Liu Wei personally rewarded the meritorious deeds of the meritorious ministers.

Cao Cao moved to the left general, Gai Xun moved to the former general, Cao Ren, Zhang Ji, Xiahou Yuan, and Zhang Xiu were all ranked as partial generals.

These people were all the earliest generals who were loyal to Liu Wei and made great achievements.

When the dust had basically settled in this series of things, the marching map jointly created by Shang Shutai and Zhenfu Division was also presented to Liu Wei.

Spring is the best time of the year.

After coordinating the situation of many parties, Liu Wei ordered the soldiers to benefit and Jing.

Yizhou, Xun You supervised the army, and Cao Hong was the main general, and sent troops in two ways.

Ma Teng and Shisun Ruiliu stayed in Liangzhou and dispatched grain and grass.

The fifth Jun, Yan Nong, and Ma Dai gathered 20,000 troops, and went south to Yizhou through the territory of the Qiang people.

Cao Hong led 30,000 troops from the West Garden and went south out of the Meridian Valley.

Jingzhou, with Zhang Ji as the main general, Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai as military divisions, led Zhang He, Cao Chun, and Duan Xuan to send 100,000 troops, detoured to Yuzhou, set aside Nanyang, and attacked Xiangyang directly.

The face that should be given, Liu Wei has already given it.

Moreover, it has been more than a month since his will was issued.

But no one has been seen for a long time, and they still want to wait and see the situation, but Liu Wei does not plan to give them any more chances.
