When the surrounding generals saw Ma Chao kneeling on the ground, they all showed envy.
This great achievement is no less than conquering a state!
It is absolutely indispensable to be granted the title of lord and general!
However, no one was jealous. Everyone knew how much hardship Fazheng and Ma Chao had gone through, and how many narrow escapes they had to endure to achieve what they have achieved today.
Liu Zhang pondered for a moment and looked at Ma Chao first.
"Ma Chao, you went to the Western Regions and fought bravely. You single-handedly killed the enemy many times and killed countless kings!"
"Today, I will promote you to General Zhenbei and the title of Marquis Wandating!"
Ma Chao was instantly happy and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
"General, I would like to thank the King of Qin for the gift!"
When the surrounding generals heard this, they couldn't help but be envious!
The Four Town Generals are second only to the Four Directions Generals and the Four Expeditions Generals, and they both belong to the senior military general sequence!
At the beginning of Liu Zhang's founding of the country, it was not established due to insufficient achievements of his subordinates.
Unexpectedly, it fell on Ma Chao, who was still in his thirties.
This once again proves that the Qin court ignores age and origin and only looks at merit!
As long as you have the ability, you will be promoted, reused, and promoted by Liu Zhang!
Although Wanda Tinghou is just a Tinghou, it is the title that military commanders dream of at this time!
The state of Qin didn't know how many generals there were, not even the Marquis of Guannei who had entered the army.
"Meng Qi, you deserve this!"
"Keep working hard, your future achievements will definitely be far more than this!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he became extremely excited.
"The final general will definitely live up to King Qin's high expectations and go through fire and water, leaving his body and brains in ruins!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Ma Chao's awareness.
Immediately, he turned to look at Fazheng.
The greatest contributor to this Western Expedition is undoubtedly Fa Zheng!
Without Fazheng's shocking plan, Ma Chao and these ten thousand cavalry might have perished in the Western Regions.
Fazheng did not disappoint Liu Zhang's expectations, and successfully repaid Liu Zhang's trust with his victory in pacifying the Western Regions.
"Fazheng obeys orders!"
"The last general (wei minister) is here!"
Fazheng was very excited and enjoyed the rewards of his hard work for a year.
There were so many doubts in the past, but now there are so many exclamations.
Fazheng can call as much as he wants. King Qin Liu Zhang has a sharp eye and he did not see the wrong person!
He is the top schemer in the world!
"Today I will promote you to the rank of General of the Army's Military Advisor, and you will be promoted to the rank of Lord..."
"The Marquis of Baoji!"
As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, there was a cry of surprise from all around.
It's not because the military advisor general named him "Zhenjun", but because of the Marquis of Baoji Township.
Xianghou!
This is a country prince!
If everyone is not jealous of Ma Chao's pavilion, they are only envious.
Then I am nakedly jealous of Fazheng, a country prince!
On the one hand, Ma Chao made great achievements when he entered Jueting, and he also had the foundation of Guannei Hou.
In other words, Ma Chao is only promoted to the first level.
However, Fazheng, who originally had no title, actually skipped Guanneihou and Tinghou and directly reached the level of Xianghou!
There are very few marquises in the Qin State, and there are only two rural marquises.
Only the masterminds Jia Xu and Xun You were ranked as rural princes. They were the only two rural princes.
The generals from all directions, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun are just pavilions!
Which of these four people has not made great contributions?
How can the law be righteous and virtuous?
Directly promoted to the second level of nobility and ranked as a rural lord in less than 30 years of age?
"King Qin, I am a minister... I am a minister..."
Fazheng was so shocked by Liu Zhang's sudden reward that he knelt on the ground and hesitated, speechless.
He thought about being promoted to a military position, and he also thought about becoming a nobility, but Fazheng never had the extravagant hope of being able to become a nobility.
Even if he is promoted to the title of Marquis of Guannei, Fazheng is extremely satisfied.
After all, everything has rules!
You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to advance your title bit by bit.
Who had ever dreamed of becoming a rural prince, a position he had never imagined, but Liu Zhang used facts to help him realize it!
Liu Zhang ignored the reactions of everyone around him and instead asked Fazheng with a smile.
"Why, Takanao feels lonely... and the rewards are not enough?"
This sentence almost frightened Fazheng to death, so he quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"No, no, no! Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"Reporting to the King of Qin, I inherited the power of the King of Qin, and I was lucky enough to make some achievements! How dare you ask for the position of a country prince now?"
"The minister knows that he has little talent and little knowledge, and the military advisor and general of the town army are already very frightened. How can he dare to occupy the position of a rural lord?"
"I beg the King of Qin to take back his life. Fa Zheng thanks the King of Qin for his kindness!"
After saying this, Fazheng kowtowed three times to express his gratitude to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang was stunned at first, and then understood Fazheng's intention.
It’s not that Fazheng really doesn’t want it, it’s that he doesn’t dare!
Among the generals around him, which one has not followed Liu Zhang longer than Fazheng?
Which one has not made long-standing military exploits, traveled across the battlefield, and made unparalleled contributions to the establishment of Qin?
This time, Fa Zheng was placed above the generals, and it was inevitable that he would be hated by others!
In fact, Fazheng is afraid of this and does not want to cause trouble for himself.
Many people around looked like they wanted to eat someone!
Deep down in his heart, Fazheng wanted the title of Marquis of Xiang, but he was not in any hurry to be promoted to the title.
The world is not yet peaceful now, and there are too many places where we will need to fight in the future.
This time he made great achievements and was promoted to a military position, which also allowed Fazheng to completely secure his position as the Northern Army's military advisor.
In other words, all the credit for the Northern Army's gains in the future will go to Fa Zheng.
Not to mention the county prince, even the highest county prince does not need to be anxious.
One step at a time, a steady rise is the most important.
If you become a country prince now, what will happen ten or twenty years later?
Isn't it going to be a point where there is no knighthood?
How could Fazheng not understand this simple truth that when all the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden?
This kind of thing that shocks the master with great achievements should be avoided by everyone!
"Xiaozhi, you used more than 10,000 troops to annihilate more than 400,000 Western Region coalition forces one after another. You destroyed Qiuci in the first battle and severely damaged the two great Western countries of Kangju and Wusun. Your achievements cannot be summed up by a mere village prince!"
"Qin's ability to directly and completely control the Western Regions is inseparable from your shocking strategy, and you are the well-deserved first contributor!"
Liu Zhang spoke passionately, which made the jealous civil and military officials around him feel guilty.
Yes, without Fa rectification, how would the Western Region be today?
Even Ma Chao nodded repeatedly.
Not only did he not have any intention of refuting, but he even expressed his agreement.
"French military advisor, what King Qin said makes sense!"
"Without you, ten thousand brothers and I would have died of thirst in the desert!"
"You deserve the first achievement!"
Even so, Fazheng still shook his head slightly to express his refusal.
"General Ma is wrong!"
"This great victory in the Western Expedition is entirely due to the power of King Qin! As the subordinates of King Qin, we can only gain something by luck!"
"Fazheng will never dare to take the lead in this battle!"
Not to mention the civil and military people around him, Ma Chao was also stunned.
Fazheng is so awesome, the horses beat loudly!
If I were to exaggerate a little more, I would say that using the word "Liu Zhang" would scare the people of the Western Regions to death!
