The generals chatted with each other, but in front of Qin Liang, everyone still paid more attention to their words and actions.
Only Xiong Shou shouted, while Yang Wei cursed at Xiong Shou. They had the same background as Pan Zhong, Zhang Meng and others. They were all squeezed out of the Chinese army by Cao Shuang at first, and then followed Qin Liang to Lujiang County. But Yang Wei and Xiong Shou Er
When Cao Shuang was conquering Shu, he shared hardships with Qin Liang. It is not an exaggeration to say that the friendship was a life-changing one.
Qin Liang ignored them and just said to Wen Qin and others: "In the battle of Jiange, I followed the people who came across the Western Han River on rafts. Among them were the Liangzhou Army, the Hanzhong Governor's men, and Xiaoxing's subordinates. Follow me.
When we return to Luoyang, all the officers and men will be assigned to the Central Army. Any remaining soldiers will be dispatched from elsewhere."
Deng Ai, Wen Qin, and Ma Long worshiped one after another: "I obey!"
At this time, everyone came back to their senses. Qin Liang was talking about business, so he turned around and looked over.
The treatment of the Luoyang Chinese Army will be much better in all aspects. After the Chidao and waterways in the south of Sizhou are opened, it will be easier for the soldiers to return home. That's why Qin Liang arranged the soldiers like this.
The Battle of Jiange was the most critical battle! At that time, the soldiers had no way to retreat, and during the two days of fighting with Jiang Wei's army, they were almost at the front of each other. The battle was very cruel; however, the soldiers did not break up or mutiny. It can be seen from this that before
The people in the army at least trusted Qin Liang, the general.
Qin Liang then looked at Wang Jun, who had just arrived in Chengdu, took out the picture made by Pei Xiu and handed it over, saying: "Shizhi added the fourth-grade Fenwei general and served as the governor of Liangzhou to lead troops to prepare for the war against Soochow.
"
Wang Jun seemed to be a little unprepared. He was stunned for a moment, then took the map, and immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "I am willing to serve as the general's vanguard, and I will definitely live up to the heavy responsibility!"
Everyone was quiet for a moment, and then congratulated Wang Jun.
Wang Jun's official position is indeed like having wings. A few years ago, he could only make a living with his father-in-law. After his father-in-law died, he had almost no place to settle down. In just a few years, he actually reached the state level!
Qin Liang himself had held various official positions, and of course he understood the official career situation in the Wei Dynasty. There were several hurdles that most people could not overcome even if they were officials for a lifetime! The first hurdle was that of a county guard. As long as he had served as a county guard,
The descendants can barely be said to be from a noble family, and the difficulty of entering the official career is not the same. Then they are governors and governors at the state level. If they are stable, it is entirely possible to become an official in the future as three gongs and nine ministers! At that time, Yuan Shao opened his mouth and kept silent about the four generations and three gongs.
, it can be seen how prosperous the family is.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, various regions have been separated and the state pastors have been restored; when the Wei Dynasty began to centralize power again, the state pastors were very cautious in appointing governors, and they were usually governors. The grade and salary of the governor was not high, but wars were frequent in the Wei Dynasty, and it was not common to appoint a single governor.
Generally, a fourth-grade or fifth-grade general title is required, which has both power and rank. Therefore, the governor and governor will be regarded as state-level officials.
When Wang Jun responded to everyone, he did not forget to bow to Qin Liang and said bluntly: "The general's kindness will never be forgotten until his death!"
Qin Liang smiled and said: "The raft you built is very strong."
The generals also laughed a few times.
Qin Liang didn't say much. He just reminded everyone and already served. The generals who participated in the war against Shu all knew the danger of the Battle of Jiange, and they probably also understood the importance of this battle to Qin Liang! He made important contributions in this battle.
It is not surprising that Wang Jun was promoted, not to mention that Wang Jun also managed wartime logistics.
"Uncle Xuan (Chen Tai) was changed to the governor of Liang Yi, and the land of Shu was newly attached. Qing Mianzhi." Qin Liang continued.
Chen Taiyi said: "I accept orders and never dare to slack off!"
Qin Liang nodded and said, "Uncle Xuan stayed in Shu, so I feel more at ease." At the same time, he looked at Chen Tai, who had gray hair on his temples.
The generals who were governors of the two states in the Wei Dynasty had officials at all levels decentralizing their power, and did not have the same authority as the governors of the Western Jin Dynasty. But of course Qin Liang was not willing to hand over the important official position of governor of Shu to someone with hidden dangers. !
Chen Tai, relying on the prestige of his father Chen Qun, is usually reluctant to curry favor with powerful people, but his position should not be a big problem.
Sometimes, people still have to look at their choices at critical moments! When Wang Ling died suddenly and Qin Liang was in a dilemma in Hanzhong, Chen Tai, who was located behind Guanzhong, immediately expressed his attitude to Qin Liang in writing. Not only did he mention His good friend Fu Gu also made it clear that the general is the leader of the country and is willing to continue to obey the general's orders, as long as the general follows his lead.
In addition, Chen Tai knew more about conquest than Deng Ai. In addition to leading troops in battle, he was not a cruel person and often used gentle methods. For example, when he was in Yongliang, his relatives and friends asked Chen Tai to capture Qiang people as slaves, so he No answer.
Therefore, in order to stabilize Shu as soon as possible, Qin Liang asked Chen Tai to be appointed Liang Yi instead of Deng Ai.
At this time, Qin Liang stood next to Deng Ai. He really did not trust Deng Ai. The main problem with Deng Ai before was that he might steal credit.
He then said: "You Shizai took over as the governor of Yongliang and stationed in Chang'an."
Deng Ai seemed to have expected that it would be more appropriate for him to go to Yongliang as the governor, but he might not have been sure just now. Hearing this, he also showed joy, and hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "General, the great general... reuses him, and the servants appreciate him... !”
Qin Liang helped him, but there were some words that were difficult to say: Even if the person in charge of the imperial court wanted to promote someone without great merit, there would always be a reason. But if a person only had merit, he would be of no use, and he might even be punished. Kill people.
Passing in front of Deng Ai, Qin Liang looked at Ma Long again: "Xiaoxing is the vanguard of drifting the Western Han River this time. After his hard work, he can go to Yangzhou to be the governor."
Ma Long's eyes widened, he clasped his fists hard and said, "Thank you, General, for your reward!"
Qin Liang then looked back and said: "Today is not a reward based on merit, but our army has newly occupied Shu, and we need to arrange our responsibilities immediately to avoid missing official duties. Rewards are a matter of the imperial court, and we should be granted titles, places, and towns."
All the generals agreed, "What the general said makes sense!" "The general is an auxiliary minister, so he should share the worries of the imperial court."
In fact, Qin Liang was not wrong. Official positions are adjusted from time to time, including changes in grade, which are also normal. They are not always promoted due to merit or demoted due to guilt. The title granted by the court may be more important, and the income from the food can often Beyond salary, the key is that it can be hereditary!
Based on the situation of the Wei State, one day he is the governor of Liangzhou, and tomorrow he may go back to be the minister. However, the title and the city are different. There are merits and demerits for the increase and decrease of the city, which is more reliable in comparison!
Qin Liang added: "For example, Zhiwei (Pan Zhong) and Zhongruo (Wen Qin) also made great contributions in the battle of Fujian. Since they have to stay in their original posts and wait for the court's arrangements, there is no need to say more at this time. I will return After the Luoyang court, I will ask for credit for everyone."
Pan Zhong glanced sideways at Wen Qin and took the lead in saying: "The army is run and deployed by the general. The generals are just ordered to carry out the military orders of the general. They really dare not take credit."
During the Battle of Fuxian, it was Pan Zhong's troops who were the first to break through the middle of the Shu Han Army. He was just being modest. Wen Qin responded to Pan Zhong's gaze with squinting eyes. It was hard to say anything now.
As long as there was no quarrel on the spot, Qin Liang didn't need to pay attention. He just said: "After the report was made, the Queen Mother and the princes will make their own judgments. Now that the battle to conquer Shu is over, Zhong Ruo will go back to Liangzhou to take charge of the troops.
Waiting for the order."
Wen Qin worshiped: "Here!"
At this time, Qin Liang glanced at the westward sun outside and said, "You guys can go to the attic hall later and have dinner together."
So in the evening Qin Liang had another banquet with the generals. However, the food was relatively simple, with wine and meat, and a few dishes could be considered a banquet.
After dark, Qin Liang was just about to take a rest when he suddenly received another message from Hu Fen from the east! The city gate of Chengdu had been closed, and the messenger entered the city in a bamboo basket. The general reported to the county temple overnight.
Hu Fen took the Micang Road to attack, originally to pretend to attack the Shu army and distract the attention of the Shu state. When Liu Chan surrendered and the edict was circulated to various places, Hu Fen successfully entered Danququ of Brazil County, and then went to Badong County to persuade Luo Xian to surrender.
At that time, Soochow's Xiling Supervisor and Infantry Association indeed sent generals to march towards Baidi City in the name of rescuing the Shu-Han Kingdom. Luo Xian refused the Wu army to pass through the waterway near Baidi City, but the Wu army continued to advance, and he led his army to occupy a strategic position.
, attacked the Wu warships with crossbows and other weapons! The Wu army suffered some casualties and had to retreat temporarily. Luo Xian then sent a letter to Hu Fen, expressing his willingness to accept Chengdu's military order and lead his troops to surrender to General Wei!
Hu Fen had few soldiers and was worried that the Wu army would come to attack Baidi City, so he wrote back and asked Luo Xian to remain stationed in Badong County for the time being. Hu Fen then led his troops to Jiangzhou to accept the surrender and occupied the upper reaches. At the same time, he sent a messenger to report to Chengdu urgently!
Qin Liang learned about the situation and asked Qi Da to send the messenger away. He looked at the night sky and saw that the sky outside was already dark, and the faint light was due to the moon.
Qi Da came back after a while, and Qin Liang nodded and said casually: "The day for us to set off back is coming soon."
Qi Dayi said, "I will prepare the expenses for the journey in advance." After saying this, he closed the wooden door and retreated.
Qin Liang did not go to sleep on the cave immediately. He took the letter and read it again under the oil lamp.
Luo Xian should not be pretending to surrender, because at this time, surrendering to Wei is the wise choice! Anyway, you have to kneel down and become a surrender. If you surrender to Wu, you will kneel down twice in the future. Why bother?
Hu Fen can only serve as a county guard for the time being, because his father Hu Zun is the governor of Xuzhou. In the Wei State, there is no such thing as father and son each taking charge of a state. However, when the time comes, Hu Fen should be rewarded based on his merits. Qin Liang and Xuzhou
The governor Hu Zun didn't have many contacts, but the descendants of the Hu family had already secured a good deal.
First let Hu Fen serve as the governor of Ba County and garrison troops in Jiangzhou, so that he can control the grain, grass, baggage and even the soldiers supporting the Badong front line. When the new Liangzhou governor Wang Jun went, he led the Wei troops to Jiangzhou, east of Shu
The front line of defense was naturally stabilized.
Qin Liang doesn't want to use troops against Soochow yet, and is in a hurry to return to Luoyang. What he cares about and looks forward to most is still his position in the Wei court! He thinks it's not because of his great ambitions, he just got to this point.
