Chapter 1242: Heading for Luoyang
Cao Cao looked at Liu Yu, and Liu Yu also looked at Cao Cao.
As the crown prince, Liu Xuan didn't dare to come to the atmosphere, so as not to affect anything.
After a long time, Cao Cao spoke.
Here, the three military aircraft ministers of Huang Zhong, Fu Zhu, and Chen Gong and all the personnel of the Military Aircraft Department gathered together to discuss major matters.
According to Liu Yu's will, this war needs the largest and most solemn situation to announce to the world, so that the people of the world can know the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
As for the reward of the soldiers, it was too simple. As long as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong send the military merit book, and the Military Aircraft Department will put up a roster according to the size of the military merit, and then give it to His Majesty today.
Although this job seems simple, it is the first time that the Military Aircraft Department has been put in charge of this matter by Liu Yu. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the matter of rewarding is naturally the prerogative of the Son of Heaven. Now that Liu Yu let them handle it, the three military ministers all felt a trace of pressure.
There are many things that the Military Aircraft Department has to deal with every day, in addition to national affairs, there are also things that Liu Yu ordered to arrange. One of the most difficult things to do is what Liu Yu ordered to arrange, if one is not handled well, the Military Aircraft Department will bear Liu Yu's anger.
Huang Zhong and the other three military ministers quickly reached an agreement that they could draw up a charter for their official positions, and all others were not allowed to be touched. If this is specially obtained by Liu Yu to test the military aircraft department, then you must be careful.
Those who can mix in the military aircraft are smart people. The Military Aircraft Department was established by Liu Yu, and the rights were also given by Liu Yu. If the development of the Military Aircraft Department is divorced from the imperial power, or if it wants to weaken the imperial power and check and balance the imperial power, Liu Yu will take action. This time, it was also a gentle test by Liu Yu to see if the Military Aircraft Department would get out of his control. If so, then the Minister of Military Aircraft and many assistant military aircraft will have to be replaced.
"The matter of rewarding is determined by His Majesty, and we only need to count the merits first!" Chen Gong's attitude is very simple, don't think of Liu Yu too simply.
Huang Zhong and Fu Zhu nodded hurriedly.
"Wuheng Heng is broken, and this is the opportunity for the Han Dynasty to revitalize Liaodong and Liaoxi." Tian Feng said with a gleam in his eyes.
Liaodong and Liaoxi have always been the territory of the Han Dynasty, and due to the chaos in the world over the years, the Shenwu Imperial Court has been busy fighting with the princes of the world, and it is a bit out of reach for Liaodong and Liaoxi.
Everyone present knew the arrogance of the Wuheng people in Liaodong and Liaoxi, even Liu Yu knew it. Liu Yu had plans to kill the Wuheng people before. It's a pity that the Wuheng people belong to the monkeys, and if the Han Dynasty sends troops to Liaodong and Liaoxi, they will run immediately, and Liu Jun is constantly chasing the game. When the Han could not withstand the logistical pressure and retreated, the flow of people in Wuheng returned, which made the local garrison overwhelmed.
Now the Wuheng people are sad, and it is the time for the Han Dynasty to reshape Liaodong and Liaoxi.
"Yuan Hao, I think that with the wisdom of Kong Ming, Zhong Da, and Shi Yuan, it is estimated that troops have already been dispatched." Frustrated with his insights.
"I'm thinking about it a lot." Tian Feng found that he was thinking a little too much, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong had so good brains, they would definitely think of it.
Huang Zhong said: "General Ben thinks that in order to show the prestige of my great man!" Let's sacrifice a prisoner! What do you think? ”
Prisoners! This is indeed a good note.
It has been a long time since such a big thing happened to the Great Han, and offering a prisoner to His Majesty today can demonstrate the strength of the Great Han, and all the people in the world will also have full confidence in the Great Han. Although the current people are also full of confidence in the Han Dynasty.
All agreed.
The Military Aircraft Department reached a consensus on this matter.
As for the cost of money and food for the sacrifice of prisoners, the Military Aircraft Department also discussed it. Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to make this thing beautiful.
The Military Aircraft Department immediately drafted a charter and sent it to Liu Yu by the general Huang Zhong. Both Fu Zhu and Chen Gong were a little worried about whether their side had guessed wrong, if they didn't agree with Liu Yu's thoughts, they would be in trouble. This kind of dangerous thing is a bit dangerous, and it is better for the highest-ranking general to go. Huang Zhong has to go even if he is unhappy.
Liu Yu was pleasantly surprised when he saw that it was actually a prisoner, but he also thought of the cost, so he asked Huang Zhong: "General, this prisoner sacrifice is a good thing." But wouldn't it cost too much? You know, money is used all the time in this world. If it's expensive, you don't have to. ”
Huang Zhong knew Liu Yu's worries, and he also admired Liu Yu's heart. How many emperors spend money indiscriminately for the sake of their face, and some faint monarchs even increase taxes indiscriminately for their own enjoyment, only Liu Yu always cares about the people of the world in his heart.
"The old minister and the others have already calculated. It doesn't cost much before and after. The treasury has sufficient money and food, please rest assured. Huang Zhong said: "My Han defeated the Hu people, otherwise, it will not be able to show the majesty of my Han." Your Majesty, there are many people with different intentions today, and this sacrifice of prisoners can deter Xiaoxiao and make the subjects of the world fall in love with the Han. Especially those in Yizhou and Jiangdong. ”
Liu Yu felt reasonable, there are still two more stubborn guys who have not been solved, if they borrow the military power of the defeated Hu people, the morale of Liu Bei and Sun Ce on both sides will be greatly reduced, and for the Shenwu Imperial Court, such an expense is worth it.
"Hmmm! Then it depends on the military aircraft department. I've approved it! Liu Yu directly picked up his jade seal and sealed.
Huang Zhong took out a copy of the book again and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the military merit statistics drawn up by the Military Aircraft Department, please look at it." ”
Liu Yu took Huang Zhong's book, opened it, and Liu Yu smiled. The content of this book is only the statistics of the military merits of the soldiers who participated in the battle, and some suggestions for official promotion, and the rest is not said more.
"The Military Aircraft Department is really heartfelt!" Liu Yu said with relief.
As soon as Huang Zhong saw the smile on the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, he knew that his people had guessed correctly, and His Majesty was really testing the military aircraft department today.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this statement is really not bad. The Military Aircraft Department has a lot of power, and Liu Yu seems to be relieved, but in fact he will still be suspicious. Huang Zhong is nothing, when it comes to his part, if he wants to go further, the only thing is the title. For example, in today's situation, only the unification of the world can give Huang Zhong a chance to become a knight.
"The ministers are terrified!" Huang Zhong said respectfully.
Liu Yu smiled: "The general doesn't have to be like this. The Military Aircraft Department is the core of the imperial court, and I am absolutely at ease. The matter of sacrificing prisoners, the general and you Aiqing will do it. I don't bother with that. ”
Huang Zhong complained in his heart: Your Majesty, if you say this, won't your conscience hurt?
Huang Zhong respectfully walked out of the main hall. When he didn't see Liu Yu's figure, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Yu looked down at the military merit statistics handed over by Huang Zhong and the recommendation for official promotion, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, the holy decree of the prisoners was spread all over the world from Luoyang.
Zhuge Liang in Bingzhou and Pang Tong in Youzhou both received the news.
As for Lu Bu and Dian Wei, they had already taken the wolf and rode to Luoyang, and the Holy Decree was not a problem for them.
"Prisoners? Didn't expect it to be this! Zhuge Liang silently looked at the holy decree he received in his hand.
Under his seat, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang He and other generals all looked excited. Prisoners! This is a rare event, and they must participate in it as generals participating in the war.
Zhuge Liang looked at the expectant expressions of all the generals, and then smiled: "Let's prepare and return to Luoyang!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Yun and the others said loudly.
In Youzhou, Pang Tong held the holy decree in his hand, and his eyes rolled straight.
Zhang Fei said a little unhappily: "Shiyuan, what do you think you want to do with Your Majesty's will?" Your eyes are rolling around, and you're not tired! ”
Pang Tong said a little angrily: "You know a ball." Our Youzhou is now using troops against Liaodong and Liaoxi, let us send them to Luoyang at such a critical moment, what if there is some chaos in Liaodong and Liaoxi? ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, Zhang Fei was unhappy and said, "It's not that there is a problem with your own decision." If I had been asked to pacify Liaodong and Liaoxi, it would have been done a long time ago. ”
Guan Yu was shocked, Zhang Fei despised Pang Tong for what he said, if he was hated, Zhang Fei would be a little troublesome in the future.
Pang Tong really wanted to teach Zhang Fei a lesson, but he just thought about his weak body, Zhang Fei's huge fist, and he still endured it.
Liaodong and Liaoxi were not as easy as Pang Tong imagined, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Ren each led the army to kill, it was very easy at first, and the remnants of Wuheng could barely stop Liu Jun's footsteps, and they were beaten to the ground in a short time. With the advance of Liu Jun, Xiahou Yuan and them found that in addition to the Wuheng people, there were some other foreign tribes in Liaoxi. I heard that these foreigners were Goguryeo people, and they all looked like big cakes, which was very peculiar. For this kind of foreign race, of course, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Ren fought directly, and it is estimated that there is not much of a problem. However, what is surprising is that these big pie faces are actually very defensive, and their methods are also despicable and shameless. Xiahou Yuan and others' march in western Liaoning was a bit stagnant.
Pang Tong originally wanted to increase his troops, but at this time, he received Liu Yu's will, and Pang Tong is now a little embarrassed.
Just when Zhang Fei was dissatisfied, a soldier ran in and said loudly: "Report to my lord, there is a battle report from Liaoxi, Xiahou Miaocai and other three generals have repelled all the foreign tribes and captured two thousand!" Liaoxi returns to my big man! Xiahou Miaocai and the other three generals have already returned, and there are only ten miles left from Zhuo County! ”
The people of Goguryeo were more despicable, but Xiahou Yuan and they were even more despicable, and they used some unspeakable means, and the Goguryeo people in western Liaoning were beaten down. After the victory, Xiahou Yuan and others led the army back to Youzhou.
Receiving such news, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were surprised. Didn't you say before that the war situation was not good and that you needed to increase your troops? How did it suddenly turn into a big victory now?
If you are sleepy, you will send a pillow! Pang Tong was so happy that he laughed and said, "God bless me as a big man!" ”
Pang Tong can't be happy if he is not happy, this time he is destined to be the protagonist.
"Kong Ming, Zhong Da, all the majesty this time is mine." Pang Tong thought happily.
Pang Tong immediately took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu out to greet them, and arranged for a large number of civil officials to go to Liaodong and Liaoxi to stabilize and govern the people, and make sure to firmly control Liaodong and Liaoxi in the hands of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, in the end, Pang Tong also learned what happened from Xiahou Yuan and them.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were immediately happy when they saw the captives with big pie faces. It's not that Dahan doesn't have a face that looks like a big cake, but all of them are like this, and it's really novel.
"The three generals have worked hard. Your Majesty has a decree to sacrifice Luoyang. Now we have a few more people on the list of prisoners. What are these people called? Pang Tong said with a smile.
"My lord, these people call themselves Goguryeo. Don't look at them as if they look a little stupid, it's despicable and shameless to start a war! If you are not careful, you will fall for the calculations of these people. They also keep saying that Liaoxi is their land! The last few generals have already taught them how to behave. Xiahoudun said respectfully.
"I see! This matter will be reported to His Majesty. Pang Tong understood.
What Goguryeo! Anyway, in the end, you have to kneel at the feet of the big man.
Pang Tong received Xiahou Yuan and others back to Zhuo County, and after a short rest, most of the soldiers who participated in the war went to Luoyang.
There was no way, the most important people in the prisoners were in Youzhou, and Pang Tong had to hurry immediately.
Lou Ban and Ku Dun are all dead-faced, they are losers, and what the winner wants is the winner's decision. The only good thing is that they didn't suffer much grievances in Youzhou, at least they didn't have a hungry stomach.
Pang Tong was worried that if he starved these people to death, his credit would be small.
So, Pang Tong took Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan and them with a group of prisoners, and looked at Luoyang majestically.
The first to return to Luoyang was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Sima Yi and Ma Chao.
After they received Liu Yu's holy decree, the faces of the two were different.
Sima Yi was very calm, this victory was just a pediatric for him, and it was nothing more than a higher official position. Sima Yi is confident in his own strength, and he will definitely be an important minister in the court in the future. As for the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, Sima Yi did not think about it for the time being. Because in the Shenwu Imperial Court, there are too many people competing with Sima Yi, and Zhuge Liang is one.
Ma Chao slapped his thighs swollen and shouted: "I made a mistake!" If we knew that Your Majesty was going to sacrifice prisoners, we wouldn't be able to leave those captives in Bingzhou and Youzhou. Now it's okay, it's cheap to be a dragon for nothing, and I can only watch them majestic. What to do? I'm going to bow my head again! ”
Ma Chao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.
All the soldiers silently moved away from Ma Chao for some distance, and they could not afford to lose this man.
Sima Yi looked at Ma Chao like this, and really wanted to cover his eyes and not look at it.
People like this will be the uncle of the Han Dynasty in the future, don't you say it's a bit embarrassing.
Obviously. Ma Chao was completely unaware of the strangeness of the people around him.
