Chapter 147, Uncle Liu! Prime Minister Liu!

In the early morning, as the Xiliang Army slowly withdrew from the pass, the Bingzhou Army completely occupied Hangu Pass.

This time Liu Bei did not continue to pursue. Their front line had been stretched long enough. If they were trapped in Xiliang, other princes would probably be ready to make a move.

Dong Zhuo's situation is over, and there is no need to worry about it. The most important thing now is to digest the results of the victory.

Liu Bei then left Guan Yu and 10,000 elite troops to guard Hangu Pass, while he led the army back to the capital.

This battle is like a silent beginning. It not only determines the ownership of the first prince in the world, but also opens the prelude to a new era.

There is no doubt that the first thing Liu Bei did when he took control of Luoyang was to recruit the Yulin Army and bring all the military forces within the capital under his command.

With the momentum of a great victory, there were almost no obstacles in the whole process. If you add in the surrender of Xiliang, the number of troops under Liu Bei's control has reached 100,000, and they are all elites of the Han Dynasty.

The first prince in the world is worthy of his name.

"The Marquis of Jinyang has made great achievements in rescuing the king. I would like to express my gratitude to your Majesty and ask your Majesty to appoint the Marquis of Jinyang as your prime minister."

At the first court meeting when Liu Bei took over the capital, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei was the first to ask for merit for him. It is not known whether he was sincere or was deliberately praising Liu Bei in order to achieve an ulterior purpose.

As the saying goes, stand high and fall hard.

As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers who followed Yuan family spoke in agreement.

Liu Bei pretended to be frightened: "I have few talents and little knowledge, and I dare not steal the position of prime minister. I hope you will not mention it again."

In fact, as early as the first day after taking control of Chang'an, Liu Bei discussed the upcoming situation with Guo Jia and others. Promotion to the throne is an inevitable process, and the worst result is to be defined as a rebellious minister and besieged by the princes of the world.

This is also the shortcoming of Fengtianzi.

The advantage is that as long as you can hold on for a while, you can always hold the name of righteousness.

Even if Liu Bei didn't go further, as long as there are people who are willing to push, these things will happen.

However, the ancients made three concessions to show humility, and Liu Bei was no exception.

Taiwei Huangfusong said: "The Marquis of Jinyang first quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then drove away the barbarians, and now he has saved the young emperor from danger. He respects the position of Prime Minister both emotionally and rationally. I hope you will not refuse."

Shangshu Lu Zhi also said: "Your Majesty is young and needs the support of Marquis Jinyang. Since you are the emperor's uncle, you are bound to do so."

Liu Bei was a little surprised. Ever since he learned that he was colluding with the eunuch, his mentor had shut him out. Today, he took the initiative to advise him, which really flattered him.

Although Liu Bian was mediocre, he could see that Liu Bei's promotion to the throne was the general trend, so he said: "The ministers are absolutely right. The emperor's uncle has made outstanding achievements and can hold the position of prime minister."

"I am still young now, and it is exactly when I need your uncle's help. I hope your uncle will not refuse."

Unlike his younger brother who was very opinionated, Liu Bian had never had any big ambitions, but felt particularly at ease with this imperial uncle by his side.

Liu Bei pretended to evade a few words and accepted the canonization.

Ever since, in addition to the Marquis of Jinyang, he had two more titles on his head, Uncle Liu Huang and Prime Minister Liu!

Then came the awards to all the civil and military subordinates. Apart from Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, the most important position of Bingzhou Mu was actually held by the unknown Zhang Liao.

All the officials couldn't help but secretly wonder who Zhang Liao was!

——

"Thank you very much, teacher, for your advice to the students today."

After the court meeting, Liu Bei and Lu Zhi walked out of the palace together. The former immediately expressed his gratitude to his teacher. Although both of them knew very well that whether Lu Zhi opened his mouth or not, Liu Bei's position as prime minister was already a certainty.

Lu Zhi looked at this student whom he didn't think much of with a complicated expression, and sighed: "I did misjudge you at the beginning."

He was wrong about more than one thing.

He misjudged this student's ability. If he went back to the beginning, he would never believe that this student from a commoner background could become a prime minister under one person in just a few years. This may be the situation that makes a hero!

Also, I thought that this student would not hesitate to collude with the eunuchs in order to get promoted, but I did not expect that the entire eunuch group was his plaything.

Not only did he make full use of these people, but he also killed them without hesitation after using them to their best advantage. It turned out that underneath this kindness and righteousness was actually the determination and ruthlessness of a generation of heroes.

As for the future end of this student, he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it. After all, it was the Liu family's own business.

Perhaps, there is also a trace of pride in his heart.

Liu Bei said sternly: "The teacher has never misjudged the students. It's just that the students were lucky enough to have the help of experts to achieve what they are today."

From the literal meaning, he means that he has the great help of Guo Jiaxunyu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other civil and military officials.

However, there is a deeper meaning behind it, which is also a feeling from the heart.

Fortunately, he was favored by heaven and given the opportunity to live his life again, so he could rise rapidly in this life. If it were based on his previous life, he would have achieved success only after more than twenty years of wandering.

But Lu Zhi obviously couldn't understand his inner thoughts.

"It is true that you are where you are today without the help of many talented people. But you don't need to belittle yourself. These people will be willing to help you and are impressed by your talents."

After walking a few more steps, Liu Bei suddenly said: "Students want to go to the military camp, why don't teachers go with them?"

"good!"

Lu Zhi himself was also the commander of the army, and he wanted to see the invincible Bingzhou Army.

——

After Liu Bei incorporated the Yulin Army, the first thing he did was to disorganize and reorganize the army and put it in charge of his generals.

Today's school grounds are particularly lively because of a movement initiated by Guo Fengxiao.

The name is... Cuju.

This is a major event that will be highly sought after in later generations, but now it is still in its infancy, and Guo Jia has formulated detailed rules. In addition to wanting to realize his dream, he also wants to see people like Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun play Cuju.

scene.

However, reality often destroys beautiful imaginations.

These people are all brave generals who have won the three armies, but they know nothing about the sport of Cuju. In addition, the military personnel have a bad temper. In just one morning, more than a dozen conflicts broke out.

In particular, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, two former enemies, were the trigger of this conflict.

Fortunately, Guo Jia, as a strategist, still had some prestige and gave the two red cards without hesitation, so the sport could continue.

"What are you doing, military advisor?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the scene in the school grounds.

A group of generals were playing after a ball, and Guo Jia, the strategist, followed closely, holding something like a flute in his hand.

When Zhang Fei saw his brother approaching, he stood up and replied: "Brother, this is Cuju. The military advisor claims that he wants to revitalize our great Han Dynasty and prevent the barbarians from looking down upon him."

Liu Bei laughed dumbly. Is there anything that a big man should be underestimated?

As a contemporary Han Chinese with inherent pride, he obviously cannot understand this unspeakable pain.

"Yide, Fengxian, why don't you two play?"
