On the last day of the second year of Zhongping, Zhou Shen finally captured Ye Yunwu County, Jincheng County, eliminated many rebels, and captured three rebel leaders. The remaining rebels fled in a hurry to the northern part of Jincheng County.
Many cities and strongholds in Longxi County that were captured by the rebels were abandoned by the rebels. Some rebels felt that they were not guilty and surrendered directly, giving up resistance.
Zhou Shen won a great victory.
On the sixth day of the third year of Zhongping, news came back that Dong Zhuo had defeated the 30,000 Qiang and Hu-dominated Liangzhou rebels in Suoxi City, Longxi County.
The Liangzhou rebels who were entrenched in Longxi County suffered serious losses due to this defeat. Dong Zhuo killed more than ten generals in one go. The remaining troops fled to the northwest in a hurry and saw that they were no longer in power.
As a result, most of the occupied cities in Longxi County were abandoned by the rebels, and a few begged for mercy and surrendered, not intending to continue to cause rebellion.
Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo both achieved military exploits, which were acceptable to them.
When the war reached this point, Zhang Wen felt that it was almost over.
He convened a meeting with the generals around him to discuss the current situation. Based on the battle reports from Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen finally came to a conclusion.
This war started in September of the second year of Zhongping. After more than three months and nearly four months of fierce fighting, it finally achieved complete success. The rebels who were so bold that they dared to invade the imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty were basically annihilated and lost. ability to resist further.
The turmoil in Liangzhou that lasted for more than thirty years in the original history was basically impossible to continue.
Even if there are people with evil intentions, Liu Bei will not tolerate their existence.
Because Liangzhou has already been chosen by him.
The most important thing when returning to Beijing this time is to seek the position of Liangzhou Mu. While Liu Hong is still healthy, he can make some political capital and do his best to make Liangzhou impressive and demonstrate his ability in governing government affairs. ability.
Then, train your own ruling team, and use Liangzhou's complex political, military and economic environment to train the team's capabilities. If you can govern Liangzhou well, it will not be impossible to govern the Han Dynasty.
In this way, when Liu Hongkuai can no longer hold on, having an efficient, capable and loyal ruling team will give Liu Bei an advantage over other demons and monsters.
What the demons and snake gods can do, his governing team can also do. What the demons and snake gods cannot do, his governing team can also do. Even if they are all physically liberated, the court will not be in chaos. Then There is no way to use this aspect to control him if you are a helper of ghosts and snake gods.
In this way, all the scumbags in Luoyang City would not be able to avoid being saved by his physical skills.
As for how to seriously obtain the position of Liangzhou Mu from Liu Hong, Liu Bei also made a lot of preparations.
He had written letters to many people before to communicate with each other, and these people also wrote back to him to express their concern and longing for him.
Not to mention his family, this further made him realize that it is good to have proper conversations about feelings between superiors and subordinates, and it is sometimes more meaningful than simple rewards.
This may be because love is a luxury item among luxuries in this era, and anyone who can talk about love is not an ordinary person.
For example, the reply letter written by Liu Hong feels like an old father who speaks sincerely. He is obviously very worried, but he doesn't want to say anything nice. He can only accuse Liu Bei in a scolding tone for not taking his own life seriously. Liu Bei was asked not to take risks himself.
Then Zhang Rang actually wrote back a letter with some content to denounce him, but he did all the things Liu Bei asked him to do.
Emotional offensives sometimes seem feeble and a bit metaphysical, simply because their status and power are not in place. But once their status and power are in place, emotional offensives, once effective, will be more effective than material offensives. Effect.
Seeing that Liu Hong and Zhang Rang, the leaders of the imperial power alliance, had such a soft attitude towards him, Liu Bei became more and more confident to seek the position of Liangzhou Mu.
Later, Zhang Wen sent a good news to the court and asked the court for a tutor.
Then at the end of the first year of the third year of Zhongping, the reply from the court came.
Congratulations to the army for their victory, and the imperial court allowed them to regroup.
Zhang Wen was overjoyed, and on the first day of February in the third year of Zhongping, he officially announced to the entire army that we would be a class teacher!
When marching, the army was in a hurry, for fear of missing something. When returning to the army, the army was also in a hurry, for fear of delaying meeting their families.
Everyone hurriedly hurriedly along the way. Not to mention Liu Bei was anxious, everyone was anxious.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very anxious because they also had children. Guan Yu was now the father of a boy and a girl, and Zhang Fei was now the father of two boys.
Both Xia Houyuan and Xia Houtan are the kind of macho men who are particularly fertile. Now Xia Houyuan is the father of three children, and Xia Houtan is the father of four children.
Zhen Yan was lagging behind in this aspect, and Dong Huang was not even married yet. He was a naked, heartless, and heartless man who thought about fighting every day, but he didn't seem to have any thoughts about having children.
After being away fighting for so long, everyone misses their families very much and would like to return to their families to reunite and rekindle their family ties.
There are even some people who didn't break away from the violent emotions on the battlefield until this time. They were frightened for a while and felt that they were lucky not to die in the battle.
So on February 18th, the third year of Zhongping, everyone hurriedly arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang City, and completed the triumphal ceremony and prisoner presentation ceremony under the leadership of the court's ceremonial officials.
The very happy Emperor Liu Hong, dressed in military uniform, riding a tall horse, carrying the Emperor's Sword, came out of the city to review the victorious troops returning from the city, and then accepted the prisoners of war and important gifts presented by Zhang Wen and other generals at the foot of Luoyang City. of seized items.
Among them, Han Sui was the highest-weight living prisoner of war. Zhang Wen and Liu Bei presented it to Liu Hong. Liu Hong was very happy and stared at Liu Bei for a while. Seeing that Liu Bei was still strong, he nodded with satisfaction.
Then it was announced that Han Sui would be executed as a chariot-breaking punishment.
This was not beyond Liu Bei's expectation. Sure enough, the car broke.
The rest of the prisoners of war who were above the standard were beheaded, and those who were below the standard were sent as slaves. No one would be pardoned. The reason is very simple.
Their behavior almost disturbed the tombs of past emperors, and almost put Emperor Liu Hong in an unfilial position, causing Liu Hong to be embarrassed and ineligible for forgiveness.
The financial rewards to the army were given on the spot. Huge amounts of five baht coins, gold, silver and other precious metals, silk brocades and other expensive equivalents were pulled out one by one. A large number of personnel who implemented the rewards began to follow the army's merit book. Provide financial rewards to meritorious personnel.
The first ones to be rewarded are often the top soldiers and ordinary small and medium-sized officers. Higher-level generals have to enter the palace to be honored before being rewarded on the spot.
After the rewards for the big-headed soldiers are over, the emperor will also give a banquet, reward cattle, wine and various delicacies. They will be well fed and everyone will eat and drink as much as they can, and then they will die.
Do it!
The generals will enter Luoyang City, receive a banquet from the Emperor in the palace, enjoy the delicacies given by the Emperor, eat together with the Emperor, and have great fun. After three rounds of drinking and everyone is drunk, they will leave the palace. , each returns to his own home.
The banquet given by the emperor on this occasion is much more particular, and it is not the kind of summer ice drink that was used during the previous New Year's Eve.
It should be hot, it should be cold. The highly skilled cooks who cooked for the emperor tried their best to make these gentlemen who had made great achievements on the battlefield happy.
The uncles are unhappy, and the cooks are definitely the unlucky ones, and the cooks know this very well.
