"Guan Yunchang, he values righteousness, and he also values kindness, in fact, it is difficult for him to choose whether to go or stay now," Zhang Han pondered, his eyes gradually became solemn, "I thought, if this continues, how will Yun Chang choose in the end?" ”

"Perhaps, he will abandon all the soldiers now, entrust them to the lord, resign from all official positions, and follow Liu Bei, so that he can fulfill the righteousness in his heart, but the heavy responsibility of Yanjin is entrusted to him, so he will not harm the lord like this."

"Well," Cao Cao nodded, "you mean, taking advantage of this meritorious achievement, let Yun Chang lead the army to defend Yanjin alone, and the war will not end for at least a year or two, you can leave him for the time being." ”

"Yes," Zhang Han said with a smile: "The things in the world are not unequal but outnumbered. ”

He quoted this sentence of the Analects, and the idea of what he wanted to say became much clearer, and Cao Cao naturally understood it in seconds.

"Uneven," Cao Cao laughed.

The meaning of this statement is to make the three brothers feel that there is something uneven.

"Yun Chang was awarded the title of marquis and general for his merits, and he was admired by the civil and military forces of Xu Du, and he became famous in northern Xinjiang, and he was entrusted with the important task of guarding Yanjin alone, which is my trust."

"In the same way, it is also the trust of the Son of Heaven."

After Cao Cao said this, Zhang Han nodded and agreed, dealing with Boss Cao is worry-free, after all, everyone is almost bad, a belly of bad water, so arranged, Liu Bei is not on Yuan Shao's side, and now the court is also harmonious with the monarch and the minister, these are what he saw with his own eyes.

The most important thing is that Xuande Gong's weight is not enough.

He didn't get the identity of the emperor's uncle recognized by the Son of Heaven in person, and the Son of Heaven said "maybe", then the gold content of this sentence is too low, he can't go to Jingzhou Liu Biao to be regarded as a guest, and then recruit local celebrities, right?

Therefore, it remains to be seen how the situation will change.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hanle said: "I am short of people stationed in Nanyang, if Liu Bei has the intention of going south, maybe let me talk about it......"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he and Zhang Han looked at each other stunned, and both of them laughed involuntarily.

That night, the punishment of Zhang Han spread all over the army, because the black-robed cavalry did not obey the military order, attacked without authorization, and had no military discipline, but made countless meritorious contributions, even broke the two generals of the Yuan army, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and made great contributions in Yanjin, so the two commanders in the army were severely punished.

Tun Cavalry Captain Dian Wei was demoted to a partial general, fined for one year, and confiscated his war profits.

Zhang Han, who joined the army in a black robe, was demoted to a horse archer, fined for three years, confiscated the proceeds of war, punished with a cane for twenty years, and punished three months for washing horses and sweeping the house.

In this way, the army is mighty.

When the whole army learned about it, there were many discussions, and each had its own explanation.

Only Dian Wei was so angry in the camp that he scolded his mother all night, and after making trouble for a long time, he became the culprit.

……

December.

Cao Jun returned to Xudu.

Cao Cao and Zhang Han went to meet the Son of Heaven together, and after the court discussion, the Son of Heaven heard about the victory and rewarded everyone, all of whom were promoted, including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Ji Boxiao, etc., all of whom were rewarded.

Guan Yu also received a special order from the Son of Heaven to find the best craftsman to create a peerless blade for him to really take advantage of.

There are only Zhang Han and Dian Wei, Mao is not, Cao Cao also specially instructed His Majesty not to praise the two, these two are unorganized and undisciplined, and they are alone and rash, almost causing a catastrophe, although they have gained, but they are not worth mentioning!

Liu Xie laughed to hide his embarrassment, but he really didn't praise it.

After the court meeting, Liu Xie invited Cao Cao and Zhang Han to the back garden to discuss the matter, and walked in the Lang Court to watch the winter flowers, but even in the inner courtyard of the palace, there is now a scene of carving, the winter snow has not yet fallen, and there is no beautiful scenery wrapped in silver.

When leaving, Cao Cao was recounting the war in the north, talking about Zhang Han's heroic deeds and lost soldiers.

"Prime Minister, in this way, Zhang Aiqing alone contained the main cavalry of the Yuan army, which frustrated Yuan Shao's plan, but hit its root hard, causing them to be in chaos, so that they won such a big victory.

"Hmm," Cao Cao nodded perfunctorily and glared at Zhang Han.

But he didn't refute Liu Xie's words, but he didn't care in his heart.

You just spoil him, and you still persuade me? Do you really think I have a grudge against Bo Chang?!

Stupid.

"Prime Minister, I see, Yuan Shao's army will definitely make a comeback in the coming year, his Yuan family's covetous heart for our Han family is no longer hidden, I'm afraid the war will be even more tragic than this time," Liu Xie sighed, telling that he was worried in his heart, he was not in the army, he had not led the troops, although this time Cao Cao came back and told him several great victories, but there was still no bottom.

"The Chinese military forces of the DPRK are all people who are worried about the war situation, and the victory of the minister in the three battles this time, and the beheading of Yan Liang and Wen Qiu, two fierce generals under Yuan Shao, should be well spread in the DPRK and even in Xudu."

"Hmm."

Cao Cao replied softly.

Then he looked back at Zhang Han with a look of disgust, full of puzzlement.

The latter shrugged.

No way, I don't want it, he has to give it, what can I do?

Yan Liangwen is very famous, Yuan Shao once made a list of meritorious works after defeating Gongsun Zhan, and the two of them had a very long battle exploits.

"Tsk," Cao Cao snorted for no reason when he saw this death.

"The prime minister thinks it's inappropriate?" Liu Xie turned around and asked with hope.

"Of course you can," Cao Cao Zhengse, "However, the killing of Yan Liang and Wen Chou is not only the power of Zhang Han alone, Guan Yunchang has contributed a lot to it, if it weren't for him to consume the energy of the two of them first, so that they would lose their troops and generals, Bo Chang may not be able to have such a good hand." ”

"Ai Qing, didn't you get the title of marquis, the title of general, and the big sword that I personally rewarded and built, how else do you need to reward it?"

Liu Xie is not interested in Guan Yu at all, in his opinion, it is a lack of ability, so those two fierce generals were killed by Bo Chang, if Guan Yunchang really has this ability, he will be directly killed when he fights head-on.

He seems to be a pity, a little worse, but in fact, it is very far away, a world of difference.

"Uh," Zhang Han suddenly came over and said sincerely: "I think it's a bit inappropriate to reward General Guan alone, it should be a reward for his whole army, if it weren't for General Guan and General Xu's garrison in Yanjin who were ambushed on both sides of the road, my black-robed cavalry was caught up by thousands of cavalry, and I might not be able to retreat......"

Oh? Do you also advise?

Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and said: "If you have saved Bo Chang Aiqing's life, it is indeed a great achievement, not to mention that you have repelled the incoming enemy twice, and after the ambush is broken, you will calmly command and kill half of the enemy." ”

"So, this Guan Yu is a talent?"

As he spoke, Liu Xie's eyes brightened, as if he had found a treasure.

Cao Cao: "......"

Yes?

Your Majesty, don't be too outrageous, he can echo the praise, and I will ask me what reward I still need.

"Well," Zhang Han nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you know, General Guan is well versed in the way of using troops, and I didn't make an appointment with him in advance, but on the way back to the army, he ambushed his troops in the mountains, so the enemy army followed halfway and was hit hard, so there was such a big victory." ”

"Weichen believes that the way to use troops is not in the book of war, the fighter can be described as ever-changing, fleeting, and a general can make a calm judgment according to the military situation when he is in battle, which is commendable, this is the style of a famous general."

"Weichen, not because of the grace of saving people's lives, so he deliberately praised, but seeking truth from facts and speaking from the bottom of his heart."

"Haha," Liu Xie took Zhang Han's hand, "Aiqing's words, I naturally believe it, for so many years, in front of me, you have never praised the rest of the generals, treating them as mediocre, anyone in Aiqing's eyes, has a solution and a lack of temperament, this is the first time to praise." ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao was stunned on the side, and said suspiciously: "No one has ever boasted?" Regarded as mediocre? ”

"Ugh, Your Majesty! There is no need to say it anymore," Zhang Han hurriedly stopped, he was afraid that if it was a little later, he would go crazy when he went back, and then he would be asked by Boss Cao inseparably for a few days and nights, who was mediocre.

"Aiqing is so praised, I guess you want to recommend him?"

Liu Xie seemed to be smiling, but he didn't feel offended, after all, Zhang Han has made great contributions to him for so many years, except for normal military rewards, he has never asked for anything, among many heroes, he is a very humble young general.

Even if Zhang Han wanted to recommend, Liu Xie would gladly accept it, after all, this was also to repay Zhang Han for his merits and hard work over the years, and it was also a reward for him this time.

"Yes," Zhang Han laughed happily, his face was full of joy, His Majesty is also a smart person, he understands as soon as he says it.

"Weichen is willing to recommend Guan Yunchang to drive His Majesty, in addition to leading troops to fight, his martial arts are not under me, a hundred rounds, it is estimated that I and him, Dian Wei and him, can not tell the winner."

"Your Majesty can reuse it, and the most commendable thing is his loyalty to Han."

Zhang Han slowed down his speech, becoming more solemn and meaningful, "Guan Yunchang's eldest brother, that is, Liu Xuande, the Liu clan relative who has met His Majesty in the palace. ”

"Although I can't find his name on the genealogy, I don't know if his identity is true or not, but the friendship between their brothers and the enthusiasm for shedding blood for the Han family will definitely not be fake."

"I see...... Liu Xiedeng was in awe, they are still doing their best for my Han family?

I thought that I had already left Xudu and went to a remote place to govern as an official.

Oh, it seems like I gave him a ...... Miscellaneous General.

His brother has made this great contribution, and it is indeed a great contribution to my Han family, and it should be reused.

"Since Bo Chang recommended it, I summoned Guan Yunchang into the palace and reused it in the internal guard, and outside he was a former general, a marquis of the pavilion, leading the troops to fight, and seeking a secluded place for me."

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

Zhang Han was full of emotion, bowed his hand, and was about to cry out in gratitude.

The three chatted in the garden for a long time, and Cao Cao presented a very luxurious mink wool to Liu Xie, and then left with Zhang Han.

Because of his merits and status, Cao Cao was given a chariot and did not have to walk in the palace.

Zhang Han rubbed on the car and walked together because of his cheekiness, but Cao Cao couldn't resist him, so he kicked people into the car and staggered out of the palace.

"In this way, Brother Yun cannot refuse, and must obey the will of the Son of Heaven."

"Although Xuande Gong is reluctant, he will not be rashly disobedient, and we will pass this matter on as a good story, which will make Yunchang's fame great and spread far and wide."

"As long as he leaves office in the future, or goes away, his brother's fame can be bound by the edict of the Son of Heaven. Now under the heavy grace, it is the intention of Han Ting, and he should not be able to refuse. ”

"Good."

"Hmph...... Cao Cao closed his eyes and rested, leaned against the soft couch on the inner wall, and then moved his legs unhappily, "You go over and squeeze me." ”

"Oh."

……

Three days later, Guan Yu was summoned by the Son of Heaven, withdrawn from Yanjin, and entered the palace to be rewarded.

Cao Cao wanted to bring some advisers, generals, and messengers of the Son of Heaven to greet the generals, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also got the news one night early.

"Spectators?"

Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were in the house, lighting a fire to keep warm, and after listening to the order of the Son of Heaven, they felt that it was not a taste.

"My brother has made meritorious service in Northern Xinjiang and has been summoned by the Son of Heaven, and it is estimated that he is going to be a marquis, I am so envious," Zhang Fei sneered, his face swelled, but fortunately, his complexion was darker and he couldn't see the blush.

"This, say okay, go back for meritorious service, he went to save Zhang Han's life, sacrificed his life and forgot his life to rush into Yanjin with him, crossed the river and went to the north bank!"

"Zilong is also riding in the black robe, my brother is so happy, it's like they are three brothers!"

I'm so envious, I originally wanted to go to Dongjun to fight, but unfortunately my eldest brother didn't let me go.

"Big brother," Zhang Fei pointed eagerly outside, staring at Liu Bei unconvinced: "I said a long time ago, the world is big, there is a place for our brother and brother, if you are not happy, just leave, why bother to remember the kindness of others?" ”

"I am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, even if I remember it, I will have the opportunity to repay it in the future."

"Now, my brother has exchanged his life for merit and saved Zhang Bochang's life, and he has won the favor of His Majesty, and he wants to be a marquis."

"Third brother," Liu Bei still smiled heartily and motioned for him to be quiet, "Who is Yun Chang, don't you and my brother know?" ”

"No matter how he is appreciated by His Majesty, the friendship between the three of us brothers will not change."

"Besides, isn't it a good thing that Yun Chang has made meritorious contributions to the Han family and is kind to Bochang? At least Bo Chang owes us a favor, so he will recommend Yun Chang like this. ”

"You don't have to worry, how can our brotherhood change?"

Liu Bei smiled frankly, in fact, there was still a small fire burning in his heart, and his throat was spicy when he drank the wine.

How can this be, Yun Chang, you will be able to hold important positions in the palace in the future and serve the people around the Son of Heaven, and you should have a good life.

It seems that I have no reason to forcibly pull you away from the Son of Heaven, and these feats are earned by you.

However, I just let you make some merits and repay the kindness, why can you get the first merit, so that Cao Cao and His Majesty are full of praise, you can't do without you, so hardworking, this is ......

I really want to ask seriously, "Why didn't you ask me before you made a meritorious service?" ”。

"I can't remember the last time I had a drink with you."

"So it seems that I may need your help again one day, or maybe not one day......

Liu Bei thought about it in a complicated mood, but Zhang Fei suddenly spoke and interrupted his thoughts, "Zhang Bochang's kid, I think he is a faceless and skinless person, he also paid back the second brother's affection, isn't it recommended to go up, and it is strange to think of you and me, I didn't have much contact before——"

Outside the door, the little servant came to report: "Two masters, there is Qingting Marquis Zhang Han outside the courtyard to visit, saying that there is a heavy gift for the two." ”

"Oh!?" The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth raised, he looked left and right in embarrassment, his big bright eyes blinked, and he said hesitantly: "So, this person is not bad?!" Hurry up and please, come and please. ”
