"Your Majesty, the victory over Yuan Shao this time was all due to the lives of the soldiers. Now that the three armies have returned to the court, it is appropriate to give rewards to encourage the soldiers of the three armies!" In the court hall, Chu Nan came out and said loudly to Liu Xie.
"Yes!" Liu Xie nodded expressionlessly. He was too lazy to pretend now. Anyway, he no longer had the right to refute. Refuting at this moment would only make the soldiers dissatisfied. Secondly, even if he refuted, it would be useless. Chu
There is no need for him to take action on Nan's side. Now the Chinese, civil and military officials of the DPRK will bombard him in turn until he agrees.
Since the outcome has been decided, why bother adding to the worries.
Chu Nan didn't care about Liu Xie's reaction. Now Liu Xie has been completely ignored. He will retain respect for the emperor, but Liu Xie's opinion is really unimportant in decision-making.
"Here is the meritorious strategy of this battle. Please take a look at it!" Chu Nan ordered people to carry the meritorious strategy up and said to Liu Xiejie.
"So many?" Liu Xie looked at the boxes of bamboo slips, twelve boxes in total. Don't do anything today. Just reading these meritorious policies would break his throat.
"In this battle with Yuan Shao, the war spread to Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Xiliang, Sanfu, and the three states under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Countless soldiers fought bloody battles to achieve today's great victory. Your Majesty, please enlighten me!" Chu
Nan bowed and said.
Liu Xie's eyes were a little blurry. He recalled a few years ago when Chu Nan defeated Cao Cao and occupied Xuchang. At that time, his relationship with Chu Nan was not as good as it is now. He was even a little excited and read the list of awards in person.
The situation now is very similar, but now, it is difficult for him to laugh anymore.
With mixed feelings, Liu Xie motioned to Yang Rang to fetch the meritorious policies one by one and read them.
In the first volume, the meritorious strategies were all about the generals who had the greatest merit in this battle. However, what surprised Liu Xie was that the first meritorious service was not Chu Nan or Lu Bu, but Chen Gong.
It is difficult to say who was responsible for the first success in suppressing the rebellion.
Chen Gong pacified Guanzhong, providing troops for Lu Bu's group, and with the help of Yuan Shao, he severely damaged Guanzhong's military law. Although he did not have the name of marshal, Chen Gong took the lead in merging the Youzhou line, from the formulation of strategies to the gradual implementation.
He closed Guanzhong, formed an alliance with the Xiliang generals, went down to merge the state, capture Youzhou, and then expelled Karasuma. It can be said that Chen Gong played the most important role in the victory of the northern war, ranking first, and no one disagreed.
As for the meritorious service policy, the reward for Chen Gong was to be a situ and head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shangshu Mansion, a Marquis of Ping, and a city of 3,000 households!
This is a very heavy reward. At the same time, in terms of official position, Chen Gong is already a very popular minister. If the rules of the past are followed, from now on, Chen Gong's family will become one of the great families.
The next person after Chen Gong is Gao Shun!
Liu Xie looked at the roster and vaguely noticed something was wrong, but he still read on patiently.
Gao Shun was one of the main battle generals in this battle. He broke through the plains and defeated Han Qiong. It was Gao Shun who broke the deadlock on the southern front of the Yuan-Chu war. He was appointed as the general of Zhengbei, and also led Guang Luxun. He was in charge of the capital's imperial army and was promoted to the title of rural marquis.
.
Gao Shun was followed by Zhang Liao. As the first general to invade Jizhou, Zhang Liao did not seem to be outstanding in this battle, but like Gao Shun, what he faced was one of the main forces of Yuan's army. Without him to contain him head-on
, Chu Nan, Lu Bu and others will not be so smooth.
He was granted the title of General of the Southern Conquest, and also held the position of Grand Secretary of Agriculture, and was promoted to the title of Marquis of the Countryside.
After Gao Shun came Huang Zhong, who followed Chu Nan to participate in the Battle of Crossing the River, the Battle of Chaoge, the Battle of Yecheng, and the Battle of Defeating Han Qiong. He was unparalleled in bravery and killed countless famous generals of Yuan's army with his sword.
In this battle, they all played a decisive role. They were granted the title of General of Zhengxi, concurrently held the post of Tingwei, and were granted the title of Marquis of Ningxiang.
As for General Zhengdong, he was given the title of Yu Jin. He was also the commander-in-chief of one side in this battle. He was also the deputy general of Chu Nan and the actual commander. Yu Jin's role in this battle was the same as that of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
The main force of the imperial court was granted the title of Marquis of Gaoyang Ting.
Compared with the other three, there is one missing Jiuqing position, and the marquis has been demoted one level to Tinghou instead of Xianghou. After all, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Huang Zhong had previously followed Chu Nan and Lu Bu in the southern and northern campaigns, and established a
After countless merits, Yu Jin was able to rank with the other three as a surrendered general. In addition to his merits, the greater part was as an example. The example of Cao Jun's surrendered general told Cao Jun's attitude towards Chu Nan, the surrendered general.
The next four towns of Si'an and Chunan are not given. These eight official positions are not permanent.
After the five people, there are the four major captains: Ji Ling, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao. Although they hold the position of captain, they are actually based on the standard of Zhonglang General. Their salary and military power are all based on the Zhonglang General.
Then, there are people like Wei Yan, Li Tong, Zhang Xiu, Lu Qian, Zang Ba, Wei Xu, Wei Yue, Cao Xing, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, etc., who all hold the position of Zhonglang General and remain among the armies.
He has military power, among which Wei Yan is special. He is now responsible for guarding Jianghuai. Like Zhao Yun and the other four, they all lead an army outside, and their military power is greater than that of the other four. After all, he is responsible for guarding Jiangdong all year round.
Chu Nan originally planned to grant him the title of General Zhennan, but Jiangdong was not involved in this battle. Wei Yan only defended the territory and had no other merits. It was not easy to grant him many titles, but in terms of power, almost all the military power in the Jianghuai area was in the hands of Wei Yan.
In addition, Han Qiong and Zhang He were the representatives of Jizhou's surrendered generals. Chu Nan also gave the position of Zhonglang General. Among them, Han Qiong and Chu Nan were given the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Li Yang was indispensable for breaking Chao Ge. Without his huge influence in the Jizhou army, Chu Nan would not have been able to completely stabilize the victory so quickly, which can be said to be very crucial.
The two will stay in Xuchang and be responsible for training the Forbidden Army and new recruits.
In addition, Liu Ye made suggestions for Chunan, and it is said that he was responsible for the surrender of Qingzhou. In addition to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he also held the position of Shaofu and was granted the title of Marquis of the Countryside.
Guo Jiading was in Hedong and assisted Zuo Lu Bu in defeating Yuan Shao's main force. He also made great contributions and was appointed as military advisor to offer wine. He usually had no specific tasks and was considered one of Chu Nan's staff.
After these main generals, there are the generals at all levels who performed outstandingly and made contributions in this battle, including Wu Shuang, Luo Ping'an and others. This time, the rewards for the generals at the level of school lieutenant alone are three hundred.
There are as many as 07 people, and there are nearly 2,000 people at the level of captain, military commander, and military marquis.
Liu Xie read from morning to dusk before he finished reading the name of the last military prince.
In addition to official positions, there are also many rewards. Almost all the property seized from Jizhou's treasury was distributed to the soldiers in this battle. Even the soldiers who were not canonized, each of the main troops participating in the battle received a reward of a minimum of one thousand yuan. For meritorious service,
If the person does not accumulate meritorious deeds, the reward will be even more generous.
"Ai Qing, is this policy of meritorious deeds wrong?" Liu Xie looked at Chu Nan and asked with a smile, "Why don't you see Ai Qing and still have the name of Feng Xian?"
Throughout the entire meritorious policy, even the military lords were taken care of, but Chu Nan and Lu Bu, who were in charge of the entire battle, were not among them. Liu Xie did not think this was an oversight.
After all, regardless of their identities, their performances in this battle were quite different. It was Chu Nan who broke Ye City and laid the chance for victory. He defeated the main elite of Yuan Shao and killed the four pillars of Hebei into Hebei.
It was Lu Bu who held the pillar of the court. It was Chu Nan who pushed Yuan Shao into despair step by step. It was Lu Bu who pacified Youzhou and made Wu Wan flee. Not to mention that the two of them were the leaders of this war. No matter how careless they were, they would not
It's time to forget them.

"This battle can be won because of the support of the people, the great righteousness, and the lives of the three armies. I dare not take credit!" Chu Nan cupped his fists and saluted, saying with a serious face.
"As the last general, as a Han official, he should fight for the country, not for meritorious service." Lu Bu followed and said.
Don’t want credit?
Liu Xie sneered in his heart, obviously he wanted greater achievements, but Liu Xie didn't understand that for this meritorious service, even the position of the three princes was sealed, what did the two of them want?
The position of the Three Dukes has only been granted the title of Situ, and Taiwei and Sikong are still vacant. If you want this, just say it straight, why bother beating around the bush like this?
This may be Chu Nan's style, but it is definitely not Lu Bu's style. But looking at Lu Bu's expression of "I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty", Liu Xie felt a little disgusted.
The father-in-law and son-in-law have now completely ignored the great man. Even the majesty of the emperor has been ruthlessly trampled by the father-in-law and son-in-law with a self-incriminating edict. What else is there to be reserved about?
But you definitely can’t take the initiative to ask or give a reward for this kind of thing. Since you two don’t want it, then don’t do it. I want to see what you two want to do?
"In this case, it's already getting late. If there are no other matters, please withdraw from the court." Liu Xie waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty!" Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Man Chong came out, saluted Liu Xie, and said in a deep voice: "Although Chu Lingjun and Wenhou are noble and upright, I will bluntly say that Chu Lingjun and Wenhou contributed indispensable in this battle. If the imperial court
If you don’t award a reward, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the three armies?”
coming!
Liu Xie sighed, looked at Man Chong and said, "I also know this, but I can't think of how to reward these two beloved queens for the time being. What do you suggest, Man Aiqing?"
"I believe that Marquis Wen's ability to defeat Yuan Shao is the key to this battle, and Marquis Wen's bravery is known to the world. He has fought for many years with few defeats. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, the position of general is vacant. I think that looking at the world, he is worthy of this position.
The one who takes the throne is none other than Marquis Wen!" Man Chong bowed and said.
General!?
This is what I wanted!
Liu Xie frowned, a little reluctant.
This general has the power to appoint and dismiss local officials. Cao Cao himself wanted to be a general at the beginning, but because of this he almost let Yuan Shao go to war with Cao Cao directly. In the end, Cao Cao became Sikong and gave up the position of general to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao
Just give up.
Some people may think that Yuan Shao's move is unwise, but they don't know that the position of general can block the emperor's use locally. The appointment and dismissal of Jizhou officials are all directly granted by Yuan Shao, but from a legal perspective, these official positions granted by Yuan Shao are not
It is legal. Even if Cao Cao was the emperor at the time, there was no way he could find fault with this. Cao Cao could confer any official position in the name of the emperor, but the official position that had been conferred by Yuan Shao, from a legal point of view, unless the other party made a serious mistake,
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not be able to deny it.
This is the power of the general. He can be regarded as half an emperor. Although his position is lower than that of the three princes, once he leaves the court, his power is greater than that of the three princes.
"Then I wonder how Chu Lingjun should grant a reward?" Liu Xie neither agreed nor refused, but looked at Chu Nan. Lu Bu wanted to be a general, so Chu Nan wanted to be crowned king?
"I only care about the imperial court and the country, and I don't dare to ask for it." Chu Nan bowed and said: "It's getting late, Your Majesty has worked hard all day, and it's time to rest. Why don't you disperse the court after the canonization is completed."
"That's good, I also think that Marquis Wen is the best choice for general!" Liu Xie nodded. He really didn't have the energy to argue, just like when Cao Cao casually appointed Yuan Shao as general in his name. Even if he didn't at this time
I wish, but I can’t refute it.
But what he was more worried about was what Chu Nan wanted.
The more indifferent Chu Nan became, the more worried he became, but now he was unable to refute Chu Nan and could only watch his performance quietly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Bu stepped in and bowed to thank you.
"If there is nothing else to do, please leave each other." Liu Xie nodded tiredly.
