Chapter 194: Anton Hu Ben, the emperor’s mind
In order to rush back to Guangwu as soon as possible, Qin Hao rode lightly and took the shortest route. Naturally, shortcuts also came with some risks.
During this period of crazy killings, there were countless people in the three counties who hated Qin Hao. However, due to his self-confidence in force, Qin Hao was not afraid that someone would kill him.
Now Qin Hao's basic strength has reached 90, and he has entered the ranks of top generals. It is not something that ordinary assassins can assassinate.
Besides, Qin Hao also has Mu Guiying and a hundred elite Nine Dragon Guards by his side. Even if he is surrounded by a thousand people, Qin Hao will have the confidence to rush out. What's more, the three counties now have no force with more than a thousand people.
Along the way, Qin Hao encountered three groups of people who were robbed and killed by more than a hundred people. Judging from the weapons and clothing, they should be killers sent by the barbarians from the three counties. But would the killer not even cover up? Qin Hao sneered at this.
Neither Qin Hao nor Mu Guiying took action, and all three groups fell to the sword of the Nine Dragon Guards. However, the Nine Dragon Guards only paid the price with a dozen minor injuries, which shows that Qin Hao spent all his efforts on this guard. , has already achieved initial results.
After Qin Hao returned to Yanmen without any danger, Zhang Rang immediately took out an imperial edict to canonize the father and son in front of all the civil and military officials in Yanmen.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that Qin Wen, the prefect of Yanmen, was loyal and pure, defeated the Yellow Turban in Dai County, and made great contributions to the country. Qin Wen was specially named General Anbei, Marquis of Jinyang, and received a reward..."
Qin Wen had known about his reward for a long time, so he was not surprised, but others didn't know. When everyone in Yanmen heard that Qin Wen was not only named Marquis of Jinyang, but also promoted to General Anbei, they were so excited that they were almost shocked. After hearing the call, even Qin Hao was a little surprised.
The rank of officers in the late Han Dynasty was different from that in the past. There were three echelons of top generals. The first echelon was the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, and the guard general who were better than the three nobles.
The general is the head of the military generals and commands the military power of the country. His position is higher than that of the Three Dukes. However, in the late Han Dynasty, he was sometimes above the Three Dukes and sometimes below the Three Dukes.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general was superior to the three princes. Therefore, when the emperor of the Han Dynasty made Cao Cao the general and Yuan Shao the Taiwei, Yuan Shao "had the shame of being subordinate to Taizu".
General Hussar, General Chariot and General Wei are all under the General, and they also have status comparable to the Three Dukes.
The second echelon is: the generals of the four armies, the generals of the four expeditions, and the generals of the four towns.
The four generals of the army are the front general, the left general, the right general and the rear general.
The four generals are the generals who conquer the east, the generals who conquer the south, the generals who conquer the west, and the generals who conquer the north.
The four generals are Zhendong General, Zhennan General, Zhenxi General and Zhenbei General.
These general titles only appeared on weekends, but they were not often used during the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, when heroes came one after another, the second echelon often appeared as generals with heavy titles.
The third echelon is General Si'an, General Siping, and General Zhonglang!
The four An generals are General Andong, General Annan, General Anxi, and General Anbei. He had this title during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was ranked third Duke, under the generals of the four towns.
General Siping, namely General Pingdong, General Pingnan, General Pingxi, and General Pingbei. It was first established during the Han and Wei dynasties, ranking San Gong, under General Si'an.
General Anbei, who was granted the title of General Anbei by Qin Wen by the imperial court this time, was a truly powerful general who could control the entire military power of a state, second only to the Four Conquests and Four Towns.
It can be said that Liu Hong's imperial edict was equivalent to handing over the entire military power of Bingzhou to Qin Wen. Ding Yuan, the governor, could no longer control Qin Wen.
After obtaining the position of General Anbei, Qin Wen could also legitimately seek to seize the position of governor of Bingzhou.
Lord Ding Yuan, although you have helped my father and son a lot, this is the only thing that cannot be compromised, so I'm sorry! Qin Hao thought.
After reading out the imperial edict awarding Qin Wen, Zhang Rang faced Qin Hao with a smile on his face and said: "Qin Hao, the son of Qin Wen, is resourceful and brave, with both civil and military skills. He defeated 200,000 Xiongnu at Yanmen Pass and established the Queen of Wei Huo. For his first achievement in fighting against foreigners, Qin Wen is specially named the Tiger and Lieutenant General, the Champion Marquis, and is rewarded..."
Qin Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was ecstatic. He guessed that the court might give him a marquis, but he never expected that he would be the champion.
Liu Hong is so generous! Qin Hao smiled in his heart.
When the officials of Yanmen heard that the young master named by the imperial court was actually the champion, they were all shocked.
It would be fine if the Young Master was granted the title of Fourteenth Marquis, but to be granted the title of Champion Marquis would be too exaggerated. Huo Qubing was only seventeen years old when he was granted the title of Champion Marquis, and the Young Master was granted the title of Champion Marquis at the age of fourteen. Doesn’t this mean that the Young Master was granted the title of Champion Marquis? Has the Lord surpassed Huo Qubing?
But why did Liu Hong designate me as Tiger and Lieutenant General? Qin Hao frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
With the champion in front of him, the Huben and Zhonglang generals are indeed inconspicuous, but don't think that the Zhonglang generals are just minor officials.
There were three levels of military attachés in the Han Dynasty: general, general, and lieutenant. Since generals were not often appointed, they were only called generals who commanded the troops during wars. Therefore, the highest official position that an ordinary military attache could obtain was general.
The general rank of Zhonglang is "bierqianshi", and he is in charge of the royal guard, under the jurisdiction of Guang Luxun.
By the Three Kingdoms period, more and more people had military merit, and a large number of officers were named generals. Instead, Zhonglang General became a middle-lower officer position. However, in the late Han Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, Zhonglang General was a senior general.
Huben Zhonglang will be in charge of the three thousand Yulin Army of the Royal Guard, which is under the jurisdiction of Guang Luxun and is the emperor's personal prince.
You must know that more than a month ago, Qin Hao was still a white man, and the Yanmen general he currently serves as was appointed by Qin Wen not long ago.
And Liu Hong suddenly made a young man who had been in the army for less than two months the title of Zhonglang General, and he was also the Huben Zhonglang General. The meaning was already obvious. Liu Hong wanted Qin Hao to enter the court and cultivate Qin Hao!
But is it really that simple?
So that’s it. In name, he values me so he keeps me by his side, but in reality, he uses me as a proton to control his father who has a lot of troops. Liu Hong, you have such a good plan! Qin Hao sneered in his heart.
It is obvious that the Yanmen Army killed more than 300,000 enemy troops in the two battles. Such a powerful combat power was not under the control of Liu Hong. This has made Liu Hong jealous, so Liu Hong took advantage of this reward. In the name of the emperor, he took the opportunity to transfer Qin Hao to the court.
Qin Wen only had one son, Qin Hao, and since his only son became Liu Hong's general, Qin Wen naturally could only side with the imperial party, and the Yanmen Military and Political Department's combat power was completely controlled by Liu Hong. in hand.
Qin Hao also had to admit that Liu Hong's method of employing people was already considered clever among ordinary emperors.
After all, not only was he promoted, but his son also gained the attention of the emperor and had a bright future. Most people would definitely be grateful to the emperor when encountering this kind of situation.
But it was a pity that Liu Hong met the father and son of the Qin family, so everything he did was destined to be in vain. Not only would he not get the Yanmen Army, but he would lose the three thousand Yulin Army.
