A few days later, the Han army was pursued all the way from Guandu.

In this battle, more than 20,000 people of the Northern Army were killed and more than 60,000 people of the Northern Army were captured.

Yuan Shaochu led the remnants all the way to the north, and finally gathered his subordinates, leaving less than 50,000 people.

At the same time, an astonishing piece of news came.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng ordered that the rebellion in the north was the fault of the thief leader Yuan Shaochu's father and son, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

If others wish, they can be pardoned and returned to the Great Han.

Originally, the defeat of this inevitable war made the morale of the Northern Army fall to the extreme.

And now, the court said that it would not be pursued.

At this time, many people immediately took refuge in the Han court.

Especially the merger state.

Because the rivers and lakes of Bingzhou are basically under Zhang Rang's control, and now that the northern army has been defeated, Zhang Rang sent people from Zhanyunmen to directly control all the generals and officials in Bingzhou.

In the four northern states, one state was lost before the war was completely over.

It is conceivable that Yuan Shaochu's mood at this moment.

After that, things are much simpler, and those who surrender are all accepted.

It's just that you are not responsible for what Yuan Shaochu was responsible for before you surrendered, but also what you are responsible for after surrendering.

And this time in the process of pursuit.

Many of the generals in the Northern Army were captured or surrendered.

But the Twenty-Four Sword Division was a complete mess.

After all, the reason why the Twenty-Four Sword Division was able to be established and developed fairly well was because of Yuan Shaochu's presence.

Now everyone knows that Yuan Shaochu is going to be finished.

Many divisions plan to become independent, and some even plan to join the Han Dynasty and join the Dulong Villa.

After all, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Dulong Villa is a force in the rivers and lakes cultivated by the Han court.

What everyone didn't expect was that after Prime Minister Cao Cheng won the battle of Guandu, he announced three things.

The first thing is to pardon all those who rebelled with Yuan Shaochu from their crimes, and even the branches of the Yuan clan who did not send people can be pardoned.

It can be said that this is a great gift.

It is precisely because of this that many people surrender.

The second thing is to announce the reorganization of the 24 Sword Division, the reorganization of the 24 Sword Division, with Zhang Rang as the head of the division, is still the 24th Division, but the specific appointment is completely handed over to Zhang Rang.

The third thing is that after the army subdued the four northern states, it did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he allowed Yuan's father and son to flee to the Northeast.

Many people feel that cutting grass without eradicating the roots is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Yuan Shaochu died of illness not long after.

And his two sons went to the northeast, but they were killed by Gongsun Zhan, who was on the separatist side, and sent the two heads to Xuchang.

Since then, the four northern states have been subjugated.

While the territory of the Han Dynasty expanded, the military and financial strength of the Han Dynasty also increased greatly.

At the same time, Xishu, which had sent troops before, also hastily withdrew the army.

After all, the battle of Guandu ended, and the Han won a complete victory.

If Xishu still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then next, the Han's troops are likely to point to Xishu.

And after this big war, he returned to Xuchang and was rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

In the main hall, the emperor sat on it, although the army knew that the entire Han Dynasty was ostensibly the emperor's and was surnamed Liu, but in fact, it was surnamed Cao.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng took out a report and reported the merits of everyone in the above battle to the emperor, so that the emperor could reward him.

Of course, in fact, the reward has already been prepared, and it has also been seen by the emperor in advance.

It's just that in front of the civil and military officials, I still have to explain.

After Prime Minister Cao Cheng finished reading everything, the emperor began to ask the eunuch next to him to read the reward.

After all the rewards were read, everyone found that in this battle of Guandu, there were three people who received the most rewards.

The first is the great general Xu Huangzhi, who has killed the most enemy generals.

Two of the four generals were killed by him.

And countless prisoners were captured.

The first of military merit.

The second is Xiahou Po, a person in the rivers and lakes who no one expected, Xiahou Po actually wanted to join the army all the time, but he was sent to Dulong Villa to help Dulong Villa suppress the rivers and lakes.

In the battle of Guandu, the masters of the rivers and lakes killed by Xiahou Po were the most among all the people in the rivers and lakes who came to support.

In addition, Xiahou Po also killed many enemy generals.

Therefore, the seedling collapse is a great achievement.

The third is an undercover agent who has been in the north that many people did not expect - Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang's merits are, first, to offer a plan to attack Wuchao and defeat the northern army; second, to control the entire Bingzhou, so that the Bingzhou can be recovered without losing many soldiers; third, not long ago, Zhang Rang sent people to the four northern states, and after walking around, many Jianghu forces were willing to take refuge and reorganize the 24 Sword Division, making it a sharp blade for the Han court to suppress the Jianghu.

It can be said that under the twenty-four sword divisions, the twenty-four division masters are now all powerhouses of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm.

Although all the superficial realms like Hou Lan are sufficient, the real combat strength may not be enough to reach the five qi realms.

But at least on the bright side, the Twenty-Four Sword Division now has twenty-four Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, and all of these people are under Zhang Rang's command.

With such a huge strength, he is fully qualified to enter the nine products of the rivers and lakes.

As for Zhang Rang's reward, in addition to the reward of money and cultivation resources, Prime Minister Cao Cheng helped Zhang Rang apply to the emperor and named Zhang Rang as the Marquis of Zhenbei.

In this battle, Zhang Rang's contribution is indeed very great.

But now that Zhang Rang is going to be made a marquis, many people are unhappy.

Just as the eunuch had just finished reading all the rewards, a large number of generals stood up and thanked Long En.

But at this moment, someone stood up, "In this Guandu War, some people do have merit, but they want to be made marquis because of this." My Emperor, this reward is a bit too much, isn't it?"

This time, there were a lot of people who were made marquis, so suddenly someone stood up and said such a sentence, which made many generals who were thanking them very dissatisfied.

We are charging in front, what happened to the marquis?

You civil servants are just chattering in the back, and you are working hard, and you don't want us to do it!

And at this moment, Sima Fengyi also stood up.

"Weichen thinks that the marquis can be the marquis, after all, all the generals have such great contributions to my Han. But Chen just heard that someone was being named 'and waiting for the state'. The previous king of Jizhou had just been destroyed, and now there was another merger state, and Weichen felt that it was unlucky to do so! It would also make some people speculate that it was better to change the name of a marquis. ”

The one who was named the candidate of the state was Zhang Rang.

Because the entire merger is basically equivalent to being taken back by Zhang Rang alone.

In the great achievement of subduing the four northern states, Zhang Rang alone accounted for a quarter.

With such a credit, it is normal to be a marquis.

It's just that if you seal a merger, it feels like you're going to seal the merger to Zhang Rang.

Now hearing Sima Fengyi say this, some people also feel that the name of this marquis is not very good.

But the emperor heard other meanings from Sima Fengyi's words.

"Then Sima Aiqing thinks that if this marquis is sealed, what kind of marquis is it good?"
