Lei Yuan was stunned for a moment with the letter.
Several messengers were already smiling and bowing: "Congratulations to you!"
Xinning Hou?
This is not only a name with a beautiful meaning, but also a county marquis with the highest level among the Han marquis, and a county marquis with actual fiefs.
This specification is really high enough. Lei Yuan deeply felt the kindness of the King of Hanzhong.
Xinning is a county within the Cangwu County, opposite Guangxin, which is separated from the yushui River.
There are many areas in Zhongshan, with some open-pit iron ore and quarries. When Wu Ju occupied Cangwu, it was regarded as an isolation zone with the forces of the scholars in Gaoliang, Linyun and other places. Except for some Wuhu tribes, there were few Han families.
After Lei Yuan entered Jiaozhou, he widely used stones in cities and road construction. As the stone extraction site adjacent to Guangxin City, Xinning can be easily transported to Jiaozhou counties through yushui, so it has received special attention.
When Lei Yuan unified Jiaozhou, although Huairou was the main force, many of them used thunder and lightning methods. Therefore, in two or three years, they arrested and found many Han and barbarians scattered in the mountains. Some of them were placed here by Lei Yuan. At first, they were managed by militarized farming. Half of the strong men were farmed and half of the time took turns to quarry and mine. Later, they gradually became normal township, village and community management, and the county government paid the money to hire the strong men to mine.
The person responsible for mining production was Xu Shuo, a captain of Sijin under General Zuo. The person responsible for managing military camps and prisoners in various places and gradually transforming them into a household registration and civilian citizen was Xue Zong, a famous Confucian scholar who took office in the prefecture two years ago.
Under their management, Xinning County's household registration grew rapidly, and there were no tyrants and powerful people, and all the remaining residents were classified. Lei Yuan remembered that this year's household registration should be around 5,000 households.
Since then, the taxes paid by the 3,000 households in Xinning County have become Lei Yuan's.
Lei Yuan has always distinguished public and private affairs, and he clearly divided the income of the clan and his own family. Therefore, although the Lei family in Lujiang led tens of thousands of people, he was not well-off in his life. Now he had a fief of 3,000 households, and he immediately became financially free.
Of course, for Lei Yuan, this is not just a matter of money.
With the title of Xinning Marquis, he was second only to Guan Yu in the Hanzhong King's regime, which can be said to represent the extreme trust and appreciation of the Hanzhong King. From then on, like Peng Yi and others who wanted to shake Lei Yuan's authority, they were like they were ignorant of life or death.
Lei Yuan immediately asked again: "I was lucky enough to have made a small contribution, but I was treated well by the king. I really felt ashamed and dared not take it. But I didn't know that General Guan..."
The military commander raised his chest with a red face and replied loudly: "My general is still the Marquis of Hanshouting, and uses Hanshou County as his fief."
When Lei Yuan heard the military envoy say the first half of the sentence, he was slightly surprised. When he waited until the second half of the sentence, he smiled and said repeatedly: "It should be like this, it deserves it!"
When Duke Xuande was promoted to King of Hanzhong, he promoted and rewarded his subordinates, including more than ten marquises. Lei Yuan had been in that wave before and was awarded the title of Duting Marquis. At the same time, Guan Yu's title was not adjusted, because Guan Yu's Han Shouting Marquis was granted by the Han court, which showed special honor and honor compared to the other people's private titles.
This battle in Jingzhou has been caught off guard at the very dangerous situation, fighting all the way to now forcing Chaisang, almost shaking Jiangdong's throat. If you have great achievements, Guan Yu and Lei Yuan will be the ones.
Lei Yuan was the leader of a major force who led tens of thousands of troops to surrender. Therefore, the King of Hanzhong has always been favored and was granted the title of Xinning Marquis. Although Guan Yu's name of Hanshouting Marquis was not moved, it was actually granted Hanshou County in Lingling County as a fief, named Ting Marquis, and was actually a county marquis.
Hanshou County was once the capital of Jingzhou and was connected to the Yuan River. All industries were prosperous and comparable to ordinary small counties. Guan Yu's specific number of households would definitely exceed Lei Yuan's 3,000 households, and firmly occupy the position of chief general under the command of the King of Hanzhong.
Lei Yuan and the military envoys answered a few words. The entourages and others who were accompanying each other knew the situation and congratulated each other at this time. Everyone said that since Guan Junhou had invited him, Lei Junhou should hurry to Jiangling and officially accept the ban!
Lei Yuan first turned back to the lower pheasant, set up their respective defense zones for the generals, and made various response arrangements before heading to Jiangling.
Because the river channel west of E County has been fully controlled, Lei Yuan boarded the ship directly at Fukou, entered the Han River at Xiakou, and then turned into Xia River and went straight to Jiangling.
When he arrived at the city of Jiangling, he could see that the large group of Eastern Wu surrendered from Ji Nancheng and headed to the prisoner camp east of Jiangjin Port.
The surrendered army was empty-handed, maintaining its organization and moving forward silently.
A team of cavalrymen ran back and forth on the field beside the road, and issued orders from time to time urging a certain surrendered army to speed up. When they saw Lei Yuan and others, they came from a distance. When they arrived a little closer, Lei Yuan recognized that the person in charge was Ma Yu.
The two chatted on the side of the road.
The surrendered people are still moving forward, not loosening because of less supervision.
Occasionally, some people recognized Lei Yuan in casual clothes. They stopped for a moment and wanted to see clearly this Jiangdong mortal enemy who had forced himself to make a comeback in Jiangling City. However, they were immediately pulled by their companions and continued to move forward without looking back.
Seeing Lei Yuan noticed this, Ma Yu explained: "Since the peace agreement has been reached, the two armies will not be in combat. After these surrendered people arrive at the camp, they will be sent back to Jiangdong one after another... There is nothing to make a fuss at this time. The more they obey, the sooner they can return to their hometown."
Lei Yuan was really interested in the content of the peace talks. He talked to Ma Yu for a few more words and then went to the general's mansion in front of the city.
When he saw Guan Yu, Lei Yuan first congratulated the county marquis and praised Guan Yu's merits again.
In this battle, Guan Yu quickly turned back from Yicheng, killed He Qi with a small number of troops, captured Dong Zhi, destroyed the elite soldiers of the five schools in Jiangdong, and forced Sun Quan to abandon his people and fled. The people of Jiangdong were in a slump... His great military power can be regarded as the key to a great victory. But Guan Yu, who was old in the army, knew that if it were not Lei Yuan, he would be afraid that his ending would be very bad. Therefore, when Lei Yuan congratulated him, he stroked his long beard and said a few reservedly humble words.
Lei Yuan then asked about the situation. Guan Yu personally took Lei Yuan and transferred to the Jingzhou Muslim Mansion to meet Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang worked in a side hall in the mansion. It is said that this place was the place where Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun and Liao Li merged to deal with official duties when Duke Xuande first entered Jiangling. It was also the place where Zhuge Liang used it to resettle Pan Jun a few months ago and finally committed suicide.
At this time, various files and maps were hung again in the side hall. It seemed that Zhuge Liang didn't mind that anyone had died in the hall.
Because the weather was hot, Zhuge Liang stood under several maps and walked around and watched, the feather fan in his hand swaying from time to time. Next to Zhuge Liang was another strong and tall middle-aged official with a large beard and beard. He occasionally pointed to the map and answered Zhuge Liang for a few words, and then took out a cloth towel from the wooden basin filled with cold water to wipe his face to cool down.
The servants had already informed Guan Yu and Lei Yuan that they had arrived.
Zhuge Liang and the middle-aged official turned around and said, "The Lord Yun and General Xuzhi are coming just right."
Lei Yuan recognized that the middle-aged official was Huang Quan. This king was originally the chief clerk of Yizhou under Liu Jiyu's subordinate. Later, he served as a general and guardian. He once served as a general in charge of the army. He also came to Jiangling with the commander General Dong He, the Grand Marshal Xicao clerk Liu Ba, and welcomed Mrs. Sun into Shu. It is said that he was also a civil and military official, and was a minister who was highly valued by the King of Hanzhong and was close to him.
When the two met, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Huang Gongheng brought the king's order to grant the generals. He waited for Xuzhi for several days, and finally congratulated Xuzhi in person."
Lei Yuan smiled and thanked Huang Quan. Huang Quan did not dare to take it.
The four of them exchanged a few greetings, and Zhuge Liang said again: "But I know Xu Zhi won't be in a hurry, so let's talk about the main things first."
Lei Yuan also laughed: "I came to see the military advisor for the sake of the important matter."
At this time, Huang Quan took another largest map, hung it on the wall, and slowly pulled it away.
The map is about two meters wide and is made of several pairs of silk. On the map, thousands of lines and square and round logos cover countless mountains, rivers, key cities and towns in the world, and different colors indicate the territory of each family. At first glance, it only feels dense and dizzy.
Fortunately, the four of them were used to seeing maps and did not hesitate.
Zhuge Liang gestured on the map and said concisely: "Because the battle of Guanzhong consumed Yizhou's food and fodder, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou cannot get more support from the central government. Moreover, if the Cao family really merged with the Sun family, it would be unfair. Therefore, on behalf of the King of Hanzhong, I reached a peace agreement with Jiangdong. With the military power of Yun Changgong, Jiangdong was over, and the road was over, so I only wanted to cease the war; therefore, the boundary between us and Sun family could continue to move eastward and draw here!"
He turned the feather fan upside down, stroked the map with the handle, and then tapped it lightly twice: "Along the Gan River!"
Lei Yuan was a little surprised to see Zhuge Liang, then looked at Guan Yu, Huang Quan and the others, and asked: "Along the Gan River? That is to say, Yuzhang, Luling and Poyang County are also ours?"
Guan Yu smiled and said, "Xu Zhi is really impatient."
Chapter completed!
