The group hurried back to Mayi.

Yang Ming followed Zhang Yi and rushed to the county magistrate's house non-stop.

After Zhang Yi entered the door, he knelt directly in front of the coffin and cried.

Zhang Yi is Zhang Zhong's brother.

In his early years, he was reprimanded by his brother for not doing his job, ran away from home in a fit of anger, joined the border army, and then returned home ashamedly without making meritorious contributions, and went to the Jinyang Wang family.

This time he escaped from death, and when he learned that the Han army was defeated, Xianbei drove straight in, so he hurried back to Mayi, never thinking that he had parted with his brother in life and death.

Looking at Zhang Yi, Yang Ming was also emotional.

When he came out of the county magistrate's house, Zhang Yi immediately bowed to Yang Ming again: "When I deal with the aftermath for my brother, I will follow Sima Saddle before and after." ”

He was already adrift, but now he learned that because of Yang Ming Mayi, he was able to save his brother's wife because of this, and he had to repay him with his body.

Yang Ming thought for a while, reached out to help him up, and clasped his hands.

Although Zhang Yi has not left a name in history, he is stable and can stand out from the encirclement, and he is also very human.

In addition to their own hard power, luck and opportunity are also very important to those celebrities in history.

For example, Xu Rong, who narrowly killed Cao Cao and defeated Sun Jian twice, should have been a famous general if he hadn't died in the civil strife in Chang'an.

Another example is Gao Shun, who governed the army well, was brave and strategic, and his troops were trapped in the camp and conquered everything, but he was not trusted by Lu Bu, and he refused to surrender to Cao Cao and died.

"Ji Yang, you are the Zhang clan of Yanmen, can you help me find someone in the clan, called Zhang Liao, who should only be eight or nine years old." Yang Ming said.

Zhang Yi's word Ji Yang has already voted for Yang Ming at this time, so he is commensurate with the word.

"Wait a minute, my lord, I'll go and check." Zhang Yi didn't ask the reason, and went to do something.

Looking at Zhang Yi's back, Yang Ming couldn't help but nodded, he needed this kind of trustworthy person the most at this time.

Yang Ming first returned to the military camp in the north of the city, and the other troops were stationed there.

Before arriving at the camp, Wu Kuang was already at the door to greet him, and it was originally from Luoyang.

Although they were stationed in Mayi and did not return, Yang Ming had already sent people back to Luo.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent Cao Jie and others from taking risks.

When he entered the barracks, Yang Ming found that the person who came was his uncle Yang Biao.

In addition to Yang Biao, the county magistrates who had not been seen for a long time, as well as the county lieutenants of Mayi, were already waiting here.

"Sima Yang Ming of the other department took the order." When Yang Ming entered the camp, Yang Biao spoke.

Qin and Western Han Dynasty, there was no holy decree, all called the edict, to the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Hong, changed the edict to the holy decree.

Yang Ming knelt down when he heard this.

"Edict, Sima Yang Ming of the other department led the troops to burn the royal court, retreated from the three departments of Xianbei, strengthened my Han Dynasty, established immortal merits, and specially named him the Marquis of Long Live Pavilion, eating 600 households, and admiring this."

After Yang Biao read it out, everyone was shocked.

Especially the county lieutenant and others, they were dumbfounded at this time, they only knew that someone had burned the royal court at this time, but they didn't know that the person who burned the royal court was actually led by Yang Ming!

And this holy decree is for Yang Ming to be the marquis!

The marquis system has existed since Zhou, with kings, dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, and males.

In the Qin period, Shang Ying divided the marquis into twenty ranks.

To the two Han Dynasty, Hou Te refers to the Hou and Lie Hou in Guannei.

The so-called Li Guang is difficult to seal, referring to Li Guang's difficult to seal these two waits.

The marquis of Guannei was originally the nineteenth marquis, there was no fief but there was a food estate, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no food and there was no food, and it had become an honorary title.

Because those who can be named marquis at this time can be regarded as "marquis" in the true sense.

Liehou, originally the Marquis of Che, avoided the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, changed to Liehou, and was the twentieth waiter.

For example, the champion Hou of Huo Qu's illness is the liehou.

The liehou is divided into county marquis, township marquis, township marquis, duting marquis, and pavilion marquis.

And Yang Ming sealed the Long Live Pavilion, near the East Yuyuan Pass in Luoyang, the former Han Wu Emperor ascended to the Tai Room, and heard the call for Long Live Three, because of the famous Pavilion.

Although it is the lowest pavilion marquis among the princes, it is also a marquis.

Li Guang has not been a marquis in his life, but Yang Ming has been a marquis in a war!

Especially since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the marquis are relatives and eunuchs, and scholars are extremely rare.

Hongnong Yang's marquis, the last one can be traced back to the ancestor Yang Xi, who was named the Marquis of Chiquan because he grabbed one of Xiang Yu's legs.

And Liu Hong sent Yang Biao to announce the decree, with obvious intentions, and he greatly appreciated Yang Ming's burning of the royal court.

As the saying goes, everything is most afraid of comparison.

The Northern Expedition of the Three-Way Army, the 30,000 army did not survive one out of ten, and lost countless heavy grains and grass, and also lost the festival (Fu Jie) and the biography (passing documents), plus the four cities in the clouds had just been conquered, and the Han Court was disgraced.

And this battle is still Liu Hong's master, and he has even lost most of his confidence to speak in front of the courtiers.

At this time, Yang Ming burned the royal court, beat the sandalwood acacia to cut his beard and abandon his robe, vomit blood and fall from the horse.

As a result, Liu Hong lost most of his confidence coefficient and returned.

You know, Yang Ming is the person he handpicked!

And Yang Ming also burned the Xianbei grain and grass.

If Yang Ming is a relative like Huo Quai, then it is another Huo Quai, why can't the marquis!

Yang Ming was also shocked at this time.

"Yang Ming, don't accept the order yet." Yang Biao tried his best to suppress his excitement at this time, but he couldn't stop the rising corners of his mouth.

"Minister, take the order." Yang Ming got up and took the holy decree.

For a while, everyone around came forward to congratulate, and Yang Ming also returned the salute one by one.

After dealing with everyone, Yang Biao pulled Yang Ming into the camp alone.

"Ziqian, what you have done this time has made my uncle extremely admired, my Yang family has you, be happy!" As soon as he entered, Yang Biao patted Yang Ming on the shoulder and praised him.

"Uncle, I don't understand." Yang Ming opened his mouth.

"You mean the matter of the marquis?" Yang Biao said with a smile.

Yang Ming nodded: "Cao Jie should try his best to dissuade me, if I can't be dissuaded, I should also be strongly admonished as the Marquis of Guannei." ”

This is the reason why he was shocked before, the Hou of Guan Nei is false, but the Hou of Lie is real.

And the two Han Dynasty have not yet had a non-relative who has not been crowned a marquis, he has set a precedent!

"It should have been like this, but something happened on Dingxiang's side." Yang Biao's expression was slightly mysterious.

"Dingxiang? Dingxiang was not broken by Xianbei, and most of them died in battle, including Natian Yan and Cao ...... Cao Poshi is not dead? Yang Ming reacted instantly.

"Ziqian is really smart, Tian Yan died in battle, even Wang Meng and Wang Ji were killed in Dingxiang for some reason, only Cao Poshi descended Xianbei, and after Xianbei learned his identity, he took it as a hostage and asked for 100 million money from my court." Yang Biao continued.

"I see." Yang Ming's expression was quite wonderful at this time.

In this way, he still won this pavilion by himself.

But in the final analysis, it is still Cao Poshi who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Cao Jie himself is very deep in the city, but he was miserable by this younger brother, presumably Liu Hong should be very dissatisfied with Cao Jie at this time, how dare Cao Jie say more about the matter of the marquis.

"Uncle just said that Wang Meng and Wang Ji also died in Dingxiang?" Yang Ming suddenly grasped a detail.

Yang Biao nodded.

"That makes sense." Yang Ming sneered.

Speaking of which, when he saw Cao Poshi in the clouds, he still had doubts, how could Cao Jie be willing to let his younger brother go to Dingxiang.

Even if he wants to spy on him, he can't let his brother end up in person.

Now it seems that it is all going for him.

If he didn't go to attack the royal court, but fought fiercely with Xianbei with Tian Yan and others in Hongluo Valley, even if he escaped, Dingxiang Cao Poshi and others would be the ones who dealt with him.

Cao Jie really took great pains to get rid of him.

It's just that this Da Changqiu couldn't have imagined that he had designed and planned in every way, but in the end, he changed direction and made a wedding dress for Yang Ming Fenghou!

"What makes sense?" Yang Biao looked at Yang Ming's expression and asked puzzledly.

"Uncle, did Your Majesty ever say when I will return to Luoyang?" Yang Ming didn't explain, but asked again.

Yang Biao shook his head.

Yang Ming had an understanding.

At this time, the border county has not yet been pacified, and Liu Hong should want him to stay in Bingzhou for a while.

After Yang Biao finished chatting and left a bunch of accompanying rewards, he left Mayi.

As a servant, his decree should be designated by Liu Hong.

After sending Yang Biao away, Yang Ming opened the two large boxes that arrived with the holy decree, which were rewards.

The first box contains treasures and money, and the second box contains two jars of sake and a sword.

This reward is also quite exquisite, especially the second box, which has a sense of royal gift.

It can be seen that Liu Hong is extremely satisfied with what he has done in this Northern Expedition.

Yang Ming reached out and picked up the sword.

This is an eight-sided Han sword, about five Han feet long, the scabbard is pitch black, and the hilt is inlaid with precious stones, which is majestic and solemn.

The eight-sided Han sword is the pinnacle of Han sword iron smelting technology, the sword body is straight, square, and unpretentious.

Yang Ming drew his sword, but for a moment, the cold light on all sides was revealed.

This is the "hidden" and "visible" of the Han sword, which is round on the outside and square on the inside.

Speaking of which, the sword was more popular in the Qin period, but it was easy to be damaged on the battlefield, and in the Han Dynasty, the ring head knife was born and quickly replaced the sword, and the sword became more of a noble ornament.

"The so-called swordsman, the gentleman is armed, so defend himself."

It is the norm for the children of this family to carry a sword when they go out, unlike Yang Ming's previous use of a ring-headed knife on the street.

is also because Wang Fu is a eunuch, if he is a child of a family, he will be wary of him if he looks at his posture.

The eight-sided Han sword, named because it has eight sides of grinding, is stronger than the four-sided sword, and it is also more majestic.

Yang Ming waved his sword with it, a little in love.

When the sword was sheathed and hung at his waist, he summoned his guards and told them to call the officers of captain and above.

After everyone entered the big tent, Yang Ming opened all the two boxes and said: "This time the fire burned the royal court, all thanks to all of you running thousands of miles and fighting hard, these are the treasures of Your Majesty's reward, except for this sword that cannot be transferred, the rest will be distributed to everyone." ”
