Chapter 629: The Second Generation Appears
The news that Wuhuan had surrendered to the Chu Kingdom quickly spread throughout the world. When Gongsun Zan learned about it, he was extremely happy and angry, and remained silent, while Yuan Shao smashed many treasures in the house to pieces.
"Your Majesty, there is good news coming from Liaodong."
At the Jinling court meeting, Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was discussing with Zhu Wenwu the internal affairs of Chu and the ongoing military conscription, when a guard suddenly entered the palace quickly with a letter in hand and said loudly.
"Oh? Hurry and present it." Yuan Shu, who was a little thirsty at first, suddenly said with eyes brightening when he heard this.
The guard quickly stepped forward and handed the letter to the chamberlain, who then sent it to Yuan Shu.
After Yuan Shu took the letter, he scanned it and said with a smile: "Okay, Wenyuan and Gongjin have indeed lived up to my trust, and they forced Wuhuan to surrender in just half a month."
As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.
"General Wenyuan is indeed brave!"
"Once Wuhuan surrenders, I will be able to take the lead in northern Xinjiang after conquering Chu."
...
Seeing the happy faces of the people below, Yuan Shu coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent instantly.
At this time, Tian Feng stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is a blessing to pacify Wuhuan. It is our first victory since the founding of the Chu Kingdom. All generals should be heavily rewarded."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he glanced at Tian Feng with admiration. Who said that straight ministers don't know how to please? Isn't Tian Feng very discerning?
"What Yuan Hao said is true. The pacification of Wuhuan is of vital importance to our great Chu state. All the generals who participated in this war and made great contributions should be heavily rewarded."
"Draft the decree. Generals Zhang Liao, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Cao Xing, and Sun Ce fought bravely and made many meritorious deeds. Cao Xing was named General of Du Liao, Sun Ce was named General of Pingbei, Zhao Yun was named General of Anbei, and Zhou Yu was named General of Zhendong.
Zhang Liao is the general who conquered the north. He made Pang Tong come up with many strange plans and named him military advisor Zhonglang General." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion among the civil and military officials below. Countless people showed surprise or envy in their eyes. Others looked at Sun Jian from time to time and said congratulations.
"The first general of the Four Expeditions has appeared, and it is indeed Wen Yuan." Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others secretly thought in their hearts.
After Yuan Shu established his country, he greatly rewarded his civil and military officials, but he left many first-grade official positions vacant to encourage his subordinates. Just like the generals of the Four Expeditions, they had been vacant before.
In the Chu State, except for Huang Zhong, who was a hussar general, Sun Jian, who was a cavalry general, Ji Ling, who was the general of the state, and Gan Ning, who was the general of the army, all the other military officers were under the generals of the Four Expeditions.
.
Among these four people, Huang Zhong and Sun Jian were both the original veterans with sufficient qualifications and abilities, so they lived here. Ji Ling was a die-hard loyalist of Yuan Shu and was in charge of training all the new soldiers of Da Chu. He had an incomparable influence in the army.
Prestige. As for Gan Ning, it is because he is respected among the navy. The four of them are the top beings among the generals.
Below him are Zhang Liao, who was once the general of Zhendong, Taishi Ci, who is now the general of Zhennan, Ma Teng, the general of Zhenxi, and Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei. Except for Ma Teng, who is here to appease him, the other three are all
They have great military exploits and are neck and neck. As a result, Zhang Liao has taken this step before the remaining two. However, this is also within everyone's expectation. Compared with the other two, Zhang Liao's ability is slightly stronger, and his military exploits are also greater.
protrude.
"Your Majesty, there are only 50,000 soldiers in Liaodong, and most of them are cavalry. In the future, when our army confronts Yuan Shao, the cavalry will use small groups to harass and attack him. Generals Wenyuan and Gongjin are no longer suitable to
If they are located here, it is better to transfer them to other places and order others to go to Liaodong." Guo Jia came out and said.
"Yes." Yuan Shu nodded slightly: "Indeed, with the official positions and achievements of Wenyuan and Gong Jin, they are really not suitable to stay in Liaodong. There are many wars here but no major wars. Some young people should be sent there to practice. That's it.
Let’s transfer Gong Jin and Wen Yuan back first, and then I will have other important positions. However, Liaodong is an important place, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for Zilong, Bo Fu and others to control it.”
After saying this, Yuan Shu began to scan the civil and military personnel below, and finally locked onto one person each.
"Zhang Xiu, Chen Gong."
"I'm here!"
Zhang Xiu and Chen Gong hurriedly came out of the queue. The former could not hide his excitement, but the latter had a calm expression.
"You two will go to Liaodong. You two can recommend some young talents to accompany you."
"No!" they both said in unison.
"Gongtai, after this trip to Liaodong, you will be in control of Liaodong's internal affairs and the handling of Wuhuan. You can ask Yuan Hao and others for their opinions on the situation in Liaodong, but remember not to apply mechanically, adapt measures to local conditions, and be cautious in everything.
superior."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best." Chen Gong took a deep breath and bowed.
He understood what Yuan Shu meant. Liaodong is extremely important, but dealing with Wuhuan is a bit tricky. The old-fashioned soft or coercive policies in this regard are not suitable for implementation at all. It is necessary to learn from Dachu's current development method and use it.
To control and educate people through business. Although he is smarter than others, he does not know much about this aspect. He needs to ask Tian Feng and others for advice.
He was grateful for Yuan Shu's trust. As a counselor who accompanied Lu Bu in his surrender, he knew that he would be reused by Yuan Shu sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He had just studied at Dachu's official training institution for a short time, "
"Ideological education" has not yet been completed, and now it is time to take one side.
This task is extremely important, and it is an opportunity and a test for him. As long as he can complete it well and show his abilities, he will have the opportunity to be among Yuan Shu's most valued counselors in the future, and be ranked with Ju Shou and others.
Although he was a little overwhelmed after experiencing so much, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited. Who can escape fame and wealth in life? Living in this vibrant country, he was also full of ideas to develop his ambitions.
After the dismissal of the court, everyone left, but Yuan Shu left behind these two people and several important generals.
"Do you have any suggestions about the candidates for Liaodong?" Yuan Shu asked several people.
Tian Feng came out of the queue first and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I recommend a talented person. His name is Bu Zhi, whose courtesy name is Zishan. He has a broad-minded temperament, is well-read, and has a good understanding of political governance. He can help Gongtai."
Yuan Shu nodded. He vaguely felt that the name Bu Zhi sounded familiar to him. He must have been brought by some big man to train him. There were not many opportunities to govern a complex and chaotic place like Liaodong, so it was an excellent exercise.
Guo Jia then stood up, glanced at Jia Xu, and said with a grin: "Wen He's eldest son Jia Mu is about to reach the throne. He is smart and wise, and he is proficient in the art of war. He can be Weiyou's military advisor."
Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Yuan Shu and Jia Xu with fiery eyes. He knew Jia Xu's ability. He was almost worshiped as a god by his uncle Zhang Ji, Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals, and his son must be the same.
Extremely extraordinary.
After hearing this, Jia Xu avoided Zhang Xiu's blazing gaze and glanced at Guo Jia unhappily. Then he said to Yuan Shu who looked solicitous: "That's very good. My son is lazy by nature, so I need to pay more attention to you."
Already."
Zhang Xiu quickly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare! I don't dare!"
Hearing this, Jia Xu sighed in his heart: It seems that he will be entangled with the people in Xiliang for the rest of his life, alas!
After thinking about it, Jia Xu looked at Sun Jian who was silent at the side and said softly: "Wentai, Zhongmou is about to reach the crown. If not, it can be considered as an experience if we go together."
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly reacted, secretly looking at Jia Xu gratefully.
When Yuan Shu saw this, he felt something. He looked at Jia Xu with a thoughtful look, and then said: "Yes, this kid Zhongmou has a bright future. Let's take him with us on this trip, Wentai, what do you think?"
"
"Let my lord make the decision." Sun Jian cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to recruit another person for this trip." Chen Gong said at the right time.
"who?"
"General Dian Wei's son Dian Man, but I don't know if he can do it."
"Yes." Yuan Shu said directly without asking Dian Wei for his opinion.
After hearing this, everyone else's lips twitched.
Do you want it to be so grand? It’s just Liaodong, but why are the second generations of big bosses from all parties sent there?
