Just when Lu Yan, Zhong Yao, Du Ji and others were busy cleaning up the mess in Hedong, someone from outside suddenly reported:
"Report! General Hussar! There is a group of people outside the governor's mansion. The leader calls himself Wang Yan, the captain of Shangluo... He said that they have captured a high-ranking rebel!"
When Lu Yan heard this, he stood up suddenly and confirmed to the messenger again: "You said that the senior officials were caught by them?!"
"Yes...yes...I heard what they said..." the orderer replied with some uncertainty.
Lu Yan turned around, looked at Zhong Yao and Du Ji, who also looked surprised, and said, "Let's go out and have a look now!"
Zhong Yao knew about this Wang Yan, so when he walked out of the county governor's house, he introduced Lu Yan: "Wang Yan is a person from Feng Yi, who is a minister. He is quite talented. He was previously appointed by the imperial court as the capital of Shangluo County.
Lieutenant."
Lu Yan nodded. He knew that Feng Yi still produced many talents. Zhang Ji, who persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui before, also came from Feng Yi.
Arriving outside the governor's house, Wang Yan and several soldiers had been waiting for a long time; as for the senior officials, they were still in their camp outside the city.
See Lu Yan, Zhong Yao and Du Ji come out.
Although Wang Yan had never met Lu Yan before, he knew that the only person who could walk in front of Zhong Yao was the current hussar general Lu Yan.
Wang Yan took a step forward and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Wang Yan, who has been promoted to Luo Duwei, has met Lu Qiaoqi, met Zhong Xiaowei, and met Du Taishou!"
"I heard that Gao Gan was captured by you?" Lu Yan asked with some curiosity, "How did you capture him?"
After Wang Yan heard Lu Yan's inquiry, he immediately grinned and said: "Xiaguan's county soldiers caught him while patrolling. The senior official looked like a refugee at that time. If not for the fact that Xiaguan was in the crowd,
Rido glanced at him and might have missed it."
Just because I glanced at him in the crowd? That senior official is quite unlucky...
Catching the senior official was a great achievement, so Lu Yan said to Wang Yan: "Since you have captured the senior official, I will send him to Yecheng, where you can also receive the imperial reward.
"
Why we went to Yecheng instead of Xuchang? In fact, everyone already knew it tacitly, and there was no need to explain it clearly.
Wang Yan knew that the time had come for him to be promoted to a higher official position or even a noble title. He immediately saluted with great joy and said: "Here! I will leave now!"
...
In December of the sixth year of Jian'an.
After the war in Hedong subsided, Zhong Yao led the Xiliang army southward and quickly put out the rebellion in Hongnong County.
At this point, Gao Gan was captured and escorted to Yecheng; the war in Bingzhou subsided, and peace was restored in Hedong County and Hongnong County again. The territory actually controlled by Cao Cao expanded a lot again.
After the events in Bingzhou and Hedong, Zhong Yao returned to Chang'an and continued to guard Chang'an and Sanfu. Zhang Xiu accompanied Zhong Yao to Chang'an and acted as Zhong Yao's most powerful thug. They also cooperated very happily during this period.
Moreover, with Zhang Xiu here, the forces in Xiliang will be more honest.
Hedong was handed over to Du Ji, and Lu Yanze, Huang Zhong, and Hu Chuquan returned to Shangdang County in Bingzhou.
Accompanying them to Shangdang were Wei Jian and Jia Kui.
Wei Jian was recommended by Lu Yan to become the governor of Shangdang, while Jia Kui was appreciated by Lu Yan and voluntarily followed Lu Yan to Bingzhou Shangdang.
On the way to Shangdang County, Wei Ji and Jia Kui, who were former colleagues in Hedong officialdom, got closer and closer. Both of them had a bright future because of their relationship with Lu Yan, so they chatted and imagined the future along the way.
, which is quite unpleasant.
Shangdang County, outside Huguan City.
The army returned in triumph. Lu Lingqi, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others had been waiting outside the city for a long time. Even Ma Chao stood far behind the crowd with his horse, looking enviously at Lu Yan. Many people outside the city spontaneously came out to greet him.
There was a huge crowd of people all of a sudden and it seemed very lively.
When Lu Yan's army slowly appeared in the crowd's sight, both the people and officials burst into loud cheers. In these short few months, the Cao family's power has completely defeated the people of Bingzhou.
accepted.
The army did not enter the city, but camped outside the city.
Therefore, only Lu Yan led a group of generals and officials to the front of the crowd.
"Master Wang returns in triumph, long live your Majesty!"
I don’t know who started it. After hearing this slogan, the people started shouting,
"Master Wang returns in triumph, long live your Majesty!"
"Master Wang returns in triumph, long live your Majesty!"
Regardless of whether they are Cao Cao or Lu Yan, they are nominally court officials. They represent the Han Dynasty and the Han Emperor. There is nothing wrong with shouting "Long Live Your Majesty."
Lu Yan came to Lu Lingqi amidst the cheers of the people. With a slight smile on her lips, Lu Lingqi said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Lingqi's voice was drowned in the cheers of the crowd, but Lu Yan could understand her meaning.
Lu Yan thanked Lu Lingqi and the officials and people, and then led them into the city.
Although the battle is over, there are still more things to deal with.
After introducing Wei Jian and Jia Kui to everyone, Lu Yan said to Wei Jian: "The appointment document should be on the way. From now on, Shangdang County will be handed over to Bo Jian (also known as Wei Jian)."
Wei Jian walked out of the queue, bowed and said, "I will live up to the high expectations of the imperial court and Lu Qiaoqi!"
Looking at this posture, it seems that he has been classified into Lu Yan's group.
But Lu Yan acted as if he didn't know, and asked Jia Kui: "Liang Dao (named Jia Kui), do you want to join politics or the army?"
Without waiting for Jia Kui to answer, Lu Yan added: "Whether you are in politics or the military, you need a certain amount of experience and qualifications... Do you understand?"
After all, Jia Kui was too young. In politics, he had only served as the magistrate of Jiang County; as for the army, he only had some experience accumulated from assisting Du Ji in field battles.
Jia Kui understood Lu Yan's reminder, and he never thought that he could reach the sky in one step.
"I understand... but I heard that Taiyuan University teaches military and political studies, so rather than having an official career, I hope to go to Taiyuan University to study." Jia Kui finished speaking respectfully, and then looked at Lu Yan with a hopeful look on his face.
.
Jia Kui's choice undoubtedly made Lu Yan Lu Yan's eyes brighten.
Jia Kui is now about twenty-six years old. Although he is older, he is not unable to go to Taixue to study.
He is a talented person with both civil and military skills. If he can get more systematic teaching, his future will be brighter. Moreover, he has also proved his loyalty to the court with his own actions. These two points combined are enough to make Lu
Yan agreed.
"Okay!" Lu Yan high-fived and said with a smile, "Good on you, Jia Liangdao! I can tell you responsibly now that in the future you will definitely thank you for your choice now!" People who are studious will generally not have a bad future.
Jia Kui was extremely happy when he received Lu Yan's praise. He cupped his hands and said, "The student will live up to his high expectations!"
Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng looked at Jia Kui dumbfounded and sighed in their hearts,
