Chapter 1063 Zhao Yu's Reward and Punishment
Entering the mansion, looking at the generals and ministers around him, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sit in the middle, looked at Le Jin and Xu Huang on the side, and said with a smile: "This time, I led the soldiers and horses to the south in person, defeated the Shu and Wei coalition forces, and not only captured Hanzhong, but also successfully took the entire land of Yizhou. Chengdu, the capital of Shu Kingdom, was captured by me, but I didn't expect the remnants of Shu Wei to return to their glory, gather with each other, and flee from the east gate of Chengdu. I led my soldiers and horses in pursuit, but because of the obstacles and suspicious soldiers set up by those remnants on the way, my soldiers and horses were unable to take them. ”
"But I see that the remnants of the enemy army are coming all the way to our Ba County, and as long as the enemy army dares to enter the land of my Ba County, it will definitely be discovered by the two generals. Although the 10,000 soldiers and horses I left for the two generals are less than the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses of the enemy army, as long as the two generals ambush and flank them, it must be difficult for the enemy army to defeat them at all, but I don't know what the results of the two generals were? After speaking, Zhao Yu deliberately swept his gaze at the two in public, as if asking for the answers of the two.
Faced with Zhao Yu's inquiry, Le Jin and Xu Huang couldn't help but fall into silence, not knowing how to answer. But right now, the generals and Zhao Yu are all paying attention, if the two of them keep silent, the result will naturally become more and more ugly, and it will be even more difficult to step down at that time. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more embarrassing, Xu Huang finally couldn't help but stand up, and bowed to Zhao Yu in front of everyone and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Xu Huang for his dereliction of duty, this time Xu Huang did find the traces of those enemy troops." And Xu Huang also led the soldiers and horses forward, but Xu Huang was not effective and couldn't ......"
Just as Xu Huang opened his mouth, Le Jin interrupted Xu Huang's words first, and said to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty, this time it is Le Jin and General Xu Huang who will lead the soldiers and horses to encircle the enemy army. However, in the hearts of the two of us, they remembered the old love, and after a killing and fighting, they couldn't help but give up the pursuit, and as a result, they escaped. Please Your Majesty to condemn the crime, Le Jin is willing to bear all the punishments with General Xu Huang. After finishing speaking, the two knelt down one after another, waiting for Zhao Yu's surrender and punishment.
When Le Jin and Xu Huang fell to the ground and bowed at the same time, the scene was suddenly silent, and even if a needle fell on the ground at this moment, it could set off a storm and waves. Zhao Yu was silent, everyone didn't dare to say anything, even Guo Jia, who was called a ghost talent, although he knew Zhao Yu's mind very well, he didn't dare to guess casually at this moment. You must know that although everyone knows that Zhao Yu is kind, he also has a temper, especially when he is angry, Zhao Yu is angry, and he leads thousands of troops and horses to kill the enemy camp.
For Shu and Wei, Zhao Yu was extremely angry in his heart, if Xu Huang and Le Jin could stop them with 10,000 soldiers and horses this time. It must be able to cause a lot of damage to Shu and Wei, but the two of them just let them slip away after fighting with these two defeated armies, which can be said to be really a violation of military orders, and even a fault of resisting orders. It is light to be punished by condemnation and dismissal, or even to be punished in a prison, as long as Zhao Yu is furious, it is very likely that the two will be beheaded for public display.
And just when everyone was worried about Le Jin and Xu Huang, Zhao Yu suddenly stood up with a laugh, and said to Le Jin and Xu Huang: "Hahaha...... I, Zhao Yu, am really lucky, this time I was able to receive two loyal people, and there are two benevolent and righteous generals here, where will it seem that Guan Yun has passed five levels and killed six generals back then. ”
After everyone heard Zhao Yu's words, they were suddenly surprised, they never thought that Zhao Yu would be like this. Instead of blaming the two, they actually praised them, which simply subverted everyone's thinking. And just when everyone still couldn't accept Zhao Yu's actions, they heard that Zhao Yu had already spoken again: "This time, Le Jin and Xu Huang, respect my will and lead the soldiers and horses to intercept the enemy army. But there is loyalty and old feelings in his heart, so after a fight, he let go of those remnants of Shu Wei. It can be said that the two generals Le Jin and Xu Huang are both holy decrees and loyalty, and I will not only not punish the two of you this time, but also praise you well, and each of them will be promoted to one level, one hundred taels of silver per person, one mansion, and another three thousand soldiers and horses under the command of the army. I hope that the two of you will continue to maintain it well, and don't let me down. ”
Zhao Yu's praise can be said to have completely subverted the minds of the two, originally it was Xu Huang's fault this time, and Xu Huang was about to blurt out his mistakes. But he didn't want Le Jin to stand up first, tell Zhao Yu about the crime, and share it with Xu Huang. Originally, the two of them had already had the intention of death, and they would bear the responsibility for this crime, and at least they would face the pain of being removed from their official positions and imprisoned, but they never thought that His Majesty would reward and punish the two.
At that moment, I saw Le Jin and Xu Huang bowing to Zhao Yu is hand and said: "Le Jin, Xu Huang, thank you Your Majesty, this time the two of us will definitely do our best to assist Your Majesty, and we will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's grace." ”
Immediately, I only heard Zhao Yu wave his hand, and said to the two of them: "Okay, there is no need to mention this matter, this time is an exception." But it is not easy to follow the example, this time the matter is over, although we have now successfully taken the entire Yizhou, but Wei and Shu still have a trace of remnants, only destroyed the capital, but not completely wiped out. ”
Under the intervention of Eastern Wu, these remnants of Shu Wei and successfully escaped to the land of Jingzhou, and since Liu Biao died of illness in Jingzhou that year, Jingzhou was divided by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. The three major princes have divided the manpower and strength in Jingzhou City, and it can be said that Jingzhou is almost half an empty city now. This time, I heard that Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State, personally came to meet Shu Wei with men and horses, and he came for the sake of Shu Wei's 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”
"Although it is said that the two countries of Shu and Wei have been defeated by our army, the entire army together has only twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses. But these 20,000 or 30,000 people have experienced countless battles of life and death, and they have obviously become the elite of the elite, at least a group of veterans. If these two or thirty thousand soldiers and horses enter the land of Jingzhou of Wu State, it will be a relief for Wu State, and Wu State can increase its own troops with these horses. ”
"In addition, Wu has always been a naval army, and although Jingzhou occupies a quarter of the world's terrain, why has Wu never advanced half a step. Not because Wu's ambitions were not strong enough, but because Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu, knew that Wu's soldiers and horses were not suitable for land warfare. Therefore, even if Wu has the ambition to devour heaven and earth, but does not have the ability to devour heaven and earth, this time the remnants of Shu Wei are a big piece of fat for Wu State. ”
"For the Wu State, this remnant of Shu Wei not only could not threaten the Wu State, but could only rely on the Wu State to survive. Cao Rui, the new emperor of Wei, although he is still the emperor, but with the resources of Wei, he cannot support the situation at all. As for Shu, I heard that Liu Bei is dead, and Liu Chan, the prince of Shu, has not yet inherited the great cause of Shu, and there are other people's assistance. Although Liu Chan and Cao Rui are not very old, compared to Cao Rui, Liu Chan is obviously not good. ”
"Therefore, with the current men and horses of Shu Wei, it is difficult to pose a threat to Wu State, and even Wu State can boldly call the generals and soldiers of the two countries. Once over time, after the soldiers and horses of Shu Wei were exhausted, the strategists and generals of Shu and Wei could only serve Wu State. Even if some people are dissatisfied, but they are helpless, it can be said that this time our Zhao State and Shu Wei fought to the death, but the person who benefited was Wu State. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at everyone and said, "If you have any opinions and requirements, you can express them." ”
After Zhao Yu's voice was behind, he only heard Guo Jia rush to him and said: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, although our army has taken Yizhou this time. However, there are many foreign races near Yizhou, and these soldiers and horses lived in Yizhou with Shu before, so it can be said that the two sides do not interfere with each other. This time, His Majesty personally led his troops and horses south, and took Hanzhong and Yizhou in one fell swoop, which made these aliens tremble, and it can be said that all of them were willing to surrender to His Majesty's command. However, Wechen is worried that there are still dissenting hearts among these alien races, so he thinks that two policies can be implemented. ”
Zhao Yu was immediately interested when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Oh? What are the two policies that Guo Jia is talking about? ”
Guo Jia replied with a bow: "The first is that Your Majesty accepts Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the way of accepting these foreign races, so that their children and families can settle in the land of Yizhou. With these children and family members here, those foreign soldiers did not dare to make rash moves, and then promoted intermarriage, conscription and various benefits, so that their foreign people and soldiers yearned for my Zhao country. Let those important tasks of foreign races serve in our army and accept the unified control of our Zhao army. The second is to let a well-known general in our army lead an elite army of soldiers and horses to read out His Majesty's holy decree. We can take this opportunity to show them the might of our army in front of them in one fell swoop, so that those who have ill intentions in their stomachs can dispel their thoughts as soon as possible. ”
"Well, that's a good idea, but who is the right one for me to go?" After speaking, Zhao Yu couldn't help but show a trace of sadness, Zhao Yu saw that there were countless generals in the B army, each of which was extremely brave, but who was the best person to send, Zhao Yu didn't know.
I saw Guo Jia bow to Zhao Yu again: "Back to Your Majesty, although Xiliang Jinma Chao has been living in the land of Liangzhou, its prestige spreads throughout Liangzhou and Yizhou. Since General Ma Chao can deter the Qiang tribe, it is also enough to deter other foreign races, this time General Ma Chao can lead the soldiers and horses, with His Majesty's holy decree, to go to subdue those foreign races, this is the most suitable. ”
