Chapter 623 Promotion and amnesty and preparations for war

After leaving a big circle, I finally hope to get a reward... But this is also human nature. No one will laugh at him, and at most he will smile knowingly.

"Indeed, if you don't reward merits, who else is willing to do your best for the great man in the future?" Lu Zhi nodded. After all, it's just a step. Fortunately, Wang Yong is not too greedy. No, in fact, he doesn't need greed at all. Your Majesty is his...

"Since the parties themselves say that, then you might as well give them a reward as appropriate." Fu Wan came forward, and this matter should be determined. You can't just mess with this topic for too long.

"That's it!" Liu Xie also knew this, so he gave a conclusion, "First be promoted to Tinghou, and then give great contributions, and then give a reward! An additional reward of 100 golden cakes and a Han sword!"

Although gold cakes are not commonly used circulating currency, the default price of Wanshiwu is 10,000 Wuzhu coins per piece of gold cake. In other words, a piece of gold cake can be exchanged for ten thousand Wuzhu coins in Wanshiwu.

One hundred golden cakes are a thousand guan, which is rich enough. As for the Han sword, it is purely a glorious thing.

"I'm going to discuss it!" The ministers responded one after another, and it was certain that the matter was confirmed here.

No one stood up and questioned "Why is Xuxian Tinghou, how could he be rewarded next to the imperial capital?" Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Xu Du is just a temporary accompanying capital. After the world is pacified, he will still move the capital back to Luoyang, or even Chang'an.

The matter came to an end here. Wang Yong was promoted from Guannei Marquis to Xuxian Ting Marquis, and he was a real person with a title. He didn't have anything to do here, so he just withdrew from the court and no longer delayed the time of all the big guys.

"The next thing is Gongsun Zan's affairs." Cao Cao stood up, "Some time ago, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Youbeiping, was attacked by Yuan Shao. After being defeated, he went south to join the court... This is the case. I wonder what you guys think?"

"The death of governor Liu is indeed heartbreaking, but he took the initiative to attack Gongsun Zan and eventually lost and died. The latter cannot be blamed. The battlefield has changed rapidly, so who can guarantee his safety..." Fu Wan decided to give Lu Zhi a face, mainly because the other party found him privately, hoping to help in this matter.

"When Gongsun Zan was the prefect of Youbeiping, he resisted the invasion of Wuhuan many times. He had no contribution and had worked hard..." Wang Yun was also tactful and gave Lu Zhi a step forward.

"Gongsun Zan is a disciple of me and I know her well." Lu Zhi stood up, "Although his temper is a bit reckless, his ability is still very good, and he is also a loyal and righteous person. Since he has gone south to join the court, I still hope that Your Majesty will give her a chance..."

"I'm going to discuss it!" Other ministers also stood up to agree. The matter had actually set the tone.

"That's it!" Liu Xie nodded, "It seems that Gongsun Zan's previous contributions were that he occupied Youzhou and did not prefectures to perform expedient affairs... he could be granted a special amnesty. However, death penalty could be avoided, and living crimes could not be escaped. He was ordered to serve in the Yongzhou Legion and start from the side general. If he could make meritorious service on the battlefield, he would be given further pardon and reward!"

Yes, the blame for Gongsun Zan was actually not the issue of her killing Liu Yu, but the issue of not having the provincial governor, but occupying Youzhou and exercising the power of the provincial governor. This issue can be big or small. To put it in a small way, it was because the court was too busy to take care of itself at that time and could not arrange the governor of Youzhou, so she took care of it for the time being, and there was no big problem. To put it in a big way, it was separatist and rebellion!

The tone set now is that she just had no time or could not report to the court. After Liu Yu's death, she had to "take charge" Youzhou for a period of time. There were still some guilt, but it was not a big deal compared to separatist and rebellion.

As long as Liu Xie agrees to the amnesty, there will basically be no sequelae and no handle left.

"Then, let's stop here for Gongsun Zan's affairs. As for whether she wants to accept the order..." Liu Xieding looked directly at Lu Zhi after setting the tone.

"I have sent her a letter, I believe she should be a person who understands the truth. Calculate the time, the letter has already arrived there. I guess she will arrive in Xudu in a few days." Lu Zhi replied quickly.

"Remember, going to the Yongzhou Legion to serve is her only chance to be exempted from crime. I hope she can cherish it!" Liu Xie reminded.

"I will persuade her!" Lu Zhi directly took this matter. As a mentor, she was worried about the two disciples. She was just born with two disciples with good abilities, both of whom were so worried.

"Finally..." Liu Xie was straightened up and was still a little tired when he was sitting in a straight position.

The most helpless thing was Xiao Liu Feng. Although he was very curious about everything in the court, he obviously couldn't understand what everyone was saying. He didn't just lie on her knees and went to bed directly.

After a pause, he formally said: "Lu Bu attacked Pei County for no reason and Yuan Shao attacked Youzhou for no reason! What should all the beloved ministers do?"

"Only fight!" Cao Cao stood up and replied, not giving others a chance to discuss. "It is tantamount to rebel!"

"However, Yuan Shao's family, four generations and three masters are also considered loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Should she be given a chance?" Liu Xie asked back.

"It's not impossible. Yuan Shao can be appointed as the commander of the Youzhou Army and guard Youzhou. At the same time, Qingzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou, and officials appointed by the court will serve as governors and prefects." Cao Cao replied, "If the other party agrees, then what he did before will be sincere for the Han Dynasty. Then he can be recruited into the court and officially assumed the position of general."

How could she agree?... The ministers silently complained in their hearts, but they also knew that from the beginning, Cao Cao planned to define Yuan Shao as a "rebel" to treat him. After all, before that, she was still a general named by the court. A little further away, she was still the "leader" of the heroes to challenge Dong. Of course, this identity does not have the nature of official recognition.

"You can read the edict to her. As for whether to agree or not, let's talk about it, but the preparations for the conquest must be done well! If you don't say anything else, Qingzhou must be brought back first." Cao Cao suggested.

In the past, it didn't matter whether Qingzhou was necessary or not. After all, there were only one or two counties suitable for cultivation, and the others were all forests and were not suitable for cultivation at all. However, now there is no shortage of food, and Yuan Shao had 20,000 regular troops in Qingzhou. If he didn't deal with it, it would be like a thorn on his back, making people unable to fight north with all his heart.

"It's just that if the Yanzhou Legion wants to be wary of Yuan Shao's going south, who will be responsible for the war in Qingzhou?" Lu Zhi looked at Cao Cao.

"So our first target is Lu Bu! Whether it is to directly eliminate him or expel him to Qingzhou... no, it is better to directly eliminate him and then continue to attack Qingzhou north, even if we attack again the next day!" Cao Cao replied.

As for the entire Xuzhou, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to fight. In addition, the subsequent rest and rest will be restored, and it is estimated that it will continue to attack Qingzhou next year. After conquering Xuzhou, the Central Army had to return to the court. The only possible adjustment is that the Yuzhou Legion may be reorganized into the Xuzhou Legion.

At the same time, while retaining some seeds, Cao Cao already had plans to rebuild a Yuzhou legion and let Cao Ang take power.
