"Uncle Daddy, it turned out to be Uncle Daddy in person, he was fighting outside for a long time, he was homesick, and he didn't notice Uncle's grandfather for a while, it's really rude and rude, please don't blame Uncle!"

After Deng Yan spoke, Shang Ji immediately made a sudden realization, and said enthusiastically to Cai Yong.

Fortunately, Cai Yong is still a famous Confucian, and he is too rude to have a bad reputation for Shangji, so just treat him a little coldly and make his attitude clear.

Cai Yong's face shook, and he didn't want to make any comments on Shang Ji's exaggerated acting skills, but since Shang Ji had gone down the steps, Cai Yong naturally couldn't be stubborn, and immediately said with a smile: "General Zhengbei punishes thieves for the country and exalts his prestige outside the territory, he is a well-deserved hero of my dynasty, how can he be rude?" ”

"Hahaha, Bo Gong praised it!"

The two fought for a while, and then entered the city under Deng Yan's reminder.

"General Zhengbei, this time the general is on an expedition to a foreign land, opening up territory and expanding territory for my Han Dynasty, and greatly increasing His Majesty's prestige, the old man is here to congratulate the general on his victorious return!"

"Wherever you are, it's all up to the soldiers with their lives!"

Cai Yong's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, according to the standard process, Shang Ji should say that he relied on His Majesty's Hongfu and relied on the soldiers to use his life, and now he directly kicked the emperor aside.

However, the Han family has reached this point, not to mention the number one warlord like Shang Ji, it is the kind of third-rate warlord, as long as it does not leave people with a real handle, let alone despise the emperor, there is no problem even if it is scolded.

Cai Yong skipped these polite links that might bring humiliation on himself, and directly began to read out the holy decree, the content of the holy decree is actually very simple, Shang Ji's official position was promoted from General Zhengbei to General Zuo, and the title was promoted from Marquis Yongning to Marquis Ning, and the entire Fengping County was classified as Shangji's food range.

If it is a normal period, this is naturally a great reward, and directly using a county as a food town, this is the standard for the king.

However, now it is a troubled time, and the title of the Han Dynasty is only left to listen to the majesty. Moreover, Fengping County was originally Shang Ji's territory, which is equivalent to Dong Zhuo rewarding Shang Ji with Shang Ji's own things, so let alone a county, even a state is useless!

In addition to the promotion of titles and official positions, there are also a lot of rewards that look like bells and whistles, but have little actual use value, such as titles for the Liu family and Haoyue, a bunch of imperial costume jewelry, and so on. To put it simply, the name is very sufficient, but the benefits are basically not.

In addition, the senior generals who performed well in this war have also been canonized, and now there are a large number of miscellaneous generals and miscellaneous captains under the command of Shang Ji, and almost every core general has one.

Although Shang Ji also canonized a lot of titles of captains before, but in fact it was a pass, and the names of those generals and captains were also useful in Pingzhou, and no one recognized them out of Pingzhou, and now the canonization of the imperial court is given to the official name, even if these people are out of the jurisdiction of Shangji, they are also senior officers.

In addition to official positions, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Liu Yi and many other high-ranking generals with outstanding performance also canonized titles, although most of them were marquis of Guannei, only Liu Yi fished a pavilion marquis, which is far from the super-standard title of a county in Shangji, but it still makes everyone overjoyed.

After all, for hundreds of years, the concept of being a marquis and worshipping a general is the highest level of military merit reward has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one can be indifferent in the face of this kind of reward.

Dong Zhuo's move did not incite the ambitions of the generals under Shang Ji's command and deliberately create contradictions.

For Shang Ji personally, the only thing that is useful is this General Zuo. General Zuo, as a heavy general second only to the general, the hussar general, and the chariot general, can be said to stand at the peak of the Han army. According to the plan of the holy decree, Shang Ji, the left general, was fully responsible for the military affairs of Pingchen and the four states, and theoretically most of the northern defense line of the Han Empire was under the management of Shang Ji.

It's a pity that at this time, even if he maintains a semi-allied relationship with Pingzhou, Lu Zhi, will not really obey the management of Shang Ji, the left general, let alone a prince with obvious hostility like Gongsun Zhan.

It is naturally good to have righteousness, but what is more important is strength, without strength and righteousness, it will only try to make people laugh.

In general, the rewards issued by the imperial court are basically perfunctory, and even if a few are not perfunctory, they are sugar pills stuffed with poison.

After reading the decree in a process, Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief after Shang Ji confirmed the receipt. Because of the two months of waiting and Shang Ji's attitude just now, Cai Yong was afraid that Shang Ji would do something out of the ordinary with a hot brain, but fortunately, Shang Ji was calm and did not embarrass him.

Regardless of whether Dong Zhuo had more sinister intentions in giving so many official positions, it was impossible for Shang Ji to prevent the imperial court from canonizing his subordinate generals, on the contrary, he also took the opportunity to hold a high-level reward ceremony, combining the rewards within Pingzhou with the rewards of the imperial court and distributing them together.

Although the imperial court did not come up with anything substantial except for the official hat, the Shang Dynasty could not be compared with the imperial court, destroying the Korean Peninsula, expanding the area of control by nearly half, and the population more than doubled.

The basic financial reward level is not to be detailed, the total amount of funds used for rewards after the war is as high as 700 million gold (including for the payment of Pingzhou's meritorious service exchange), if it is not for the commercial and national war harvest, this big reward can make Pingzhou directly financially bankrupt.

In addition to the financial rewards, for a whole month, the various armies including auxiliary groups and representatives of the strong men with relatively good performance carried out celebrations in batches, the supply of wine and meat was unlimited, various skill competitions were in full swing, and the winners had rich rewards, the morale of the soldiers was very high, and the various armies competed with each other, and even the top generals such as Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were pulled off the field in the later period.

Of course, they were embarrassed to compete with ordinary soldiers for rewards, and it was just a show. However, the various amazing skills of the top generals are still breathtaking.

For example, Huang Zhong performed in front of tens of thousands of people in front of him by shooting twenty arrows in a row in one hand, and the arrows hit mosquitoes and flies flying thousands of miles away; Dian Wei showed off his strength, wrestling with twenty healthy horses in the army in public and winning, which made the audience smack. The wonderful performance greatly boosted morale, and the problem of declining morale caused by the continuous campaign for more than half a year was solved in an instant.

During this period, Shang Ji dragged Cai Yong to all parts of the country to condole, and asked Cai Yong to make a speech on behalf of the imperial court everywhere, thanking the soldiers for their bloody struggle to open up the country.

Cai Yong doesn't have any big Confucian shelf, let alone feel that this is insulting, but he is very interested in this kind of activity, and his enthusiasm for work is very high.
