Chapter 135 Getting what you want

Zhang Yue warned himself in his heart, "You must never become a meat-eating person!"

"I don't know your name, sir. He is such a talented person, why not work for the big man..."

Zhang Yue felt that the person in front of him was a talented person and took the initiative to invite him.

The man had a look of surprise on his face and immediately bowed to him like a Han man.

"Yuan Sheng, the lieutenant of the country, pays homage to the king and is willing to be a lackey of the Han Dynasty..."

Zhang Yue smiled and helped Wei Yuansheng up, and after returning to the wheel, he arranged for him to work under Cai Ting.

…

It was already the end of October when Zhang Yue's squadron returned to Luntai, and the personal envoy from Chang'an had also arrived in Luntai.

"... There is a captain named Weiyue from Yingtian, who inherits the holy order, relies on the gods, uses the soldiers of Luntai, breaks the sun and chases the king, raises his banner to the Tianshan Mountains, walks on Qiuci, and beheads the false king's horse. He has made great achievements and is famous for thousands of miles.

outside."

"After hearing the news, all the states in the north and south were frightened. The fifty-six states in the Western Regions were full of righteousness, and they rushed to pay tribute to the guests. They were willing to defend the Western Fan and serve as ministers for generations to come."

"The more you make great contributions and secure the security of the Western Regions, the greater your merits will be.

"Book of Changes" says: "If someone is good, his head will be cut off, and if he is captured, his ugly head will be punished." Those who talk about beauty will punish those who are evil, and all those who are disobedient will follow. Those who talk about great achievements will not record small faults, and those who praise great beauty will not have minor flaws.

.

"Sima Fa" says that "the reward for the army should not exceed a month". We want the people to gain the benefits of doing good quickly, so it is appropriate to show their merits..."

"I was rewarded with five hundred catties of gold, and was given a territory of Xuanjia, with an overflow of five hundred households... He was moved to the Western Region Camping Commandery, envoy Chijie, and was in charge of the Western Regions Camping and Conquest affairs.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

Zhang Yue accepted the edict excitedly. After nearly seven years of struggle, he finally became a senior official worth two thousand stones.

In the Western Regions, there were neither prefectures, envoys' offices, or governor's offices, so Zhang Yue became the de facto highest official of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions.

"Congratulations to the king!"

"Congratulations to all of you!"

Everyone on and off the platform was beaming with congratulations to Zhang Yue and the officers who had been awarded the award.

In addition to Zhang Yue, Chang'an also gave extremely generous rewards to others.

Li Si paid homage to the Marquis of Guannei and still served as the Colonel of Loulan Yingtian.

Ma Han paid homage to the Marquis of Guannei due to his contribution to the city, and moved to the rank of Tian Xiaowei in Wulei Camp.

Han Jiang also paid homage to the Marquis of Guannei due to the Battle of Tiannan and the Battle of Kuqashui, and was moved to Yuliyingtian Xiaowei.

The former captain of Weili Yingtian, Kailing Houcheng, was moved to the rank of captain of Huwuwan, and was suddenly transferred to the northeast.

Cai Ting was also moved to the post of chief historian of Luntai and officially became an official of the Han Dynasty with six hundred stones.

Yang You was satisfied with the position of military prince, but the specific arrangements were not clear. It was obviously left to Zhang Yue to handle it himself.

The most surprising thing is that Guo Kai was worshiped as the Marquis of Guan Nei, moved to the garrison of Jixiao, and stationed in Gumo, becoming the de facto second-in-command in the Western Regions.

Many other officers and soldiers were promoted, and even ordinary soldiers received a reward of 2,000 yuan.

After the reward from Chang'an came down, the whole Luntai fell into a sea of ​​joy.

However, after careful consideration, Zhang Yue discovered that this award was quite strange.

Chang'an's operations actually dispersed the strength of the Han army in the Western Regions.

This is completely undesirable in the military, especially now that it is a critical period of the Han-Hungarian War.

It is even more difficult to understand how to set up a garrison captain in Gumo.

Gumo is bounded by Wensu and Weitou to the west, Khotan to the south, Wusun to the north, and Qiuci to the east.

Wensu and Weitou in the west are small countries without any threat.

Although Khotan in the south has a certain amount of power, it is far away and requires 15 days of horseback riding to reach it.

The only powerful one is Wusun in the north, but Wusun is in the honeymoon period with the Han Dynasty at this time.

Thanks to the efforts of Princess Xijun and Princess Xieyou, Wusun actually favored the Han in the Han-Hungarian War.

If it weren't for the large, small, Kun, and Mo factions in Wusun's country, Wusun would have gone to war with the Huns long ago.

"What do you think Chang'an means by doing this?"

Zhang Yuezheng, the captain of the Luntai Yingtian Duwei Mansion, convened everyone to discuss matters.

"Are the princes of Chang'an confused?" The first person who jumped out was Yang You.

This time he was moved to Changshi. Although he was happy, he found it difficult to understand that the Luntai was split up.

"I'm afraid this is what the princes of Chang'an did intentionally!" Han Jiang said with a frown.

"Is there someone in Chang'an who is dissatisfied with the monarch?"

Everyone expressed their opinions and discussed a lot.

Zhang Yue asked Li Si, "Sir, do you know who advised the emperor?"

Li Si has now confessed his identity to everyone, and everyone also knows about his relationship with the Second Division General.

Li Si said, "Ji Si knew that the person who advised His Majesty on this matter was Xu Yan, a doctor of literature..."

Zhang Yue thought thoughtfully, "Who is the prince or the powerful man from Guandong?"

"Sir, what do you think should be done now?"

Li Si smiled and said, "Hasn't the Lord already made a decision?"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, acquiescing.

Then he issued new orders.

It is naturally not advisable to directly resist Chang'an's orders, that is to seek death, but Zhang Yue, the commander of the camp, still has great autonomy in specific operations.

"You will not be punished outside!" This is the power that Zhang Yue should have had.

"Guo Kai!"

Zhang Yue first called Guo Kai's name.

"I ordered you to lead 300 soldiers and station them in Tiannan City..."

"promise!"

"Ma Han, I will lead 200 soldiers to station in Yancheng..."

"promise!"

"Guo Kai and Mahan'er are stationed abroad and should interact more with the nobles and common people of the two countries..."

"Han Jiang, you are in Yuli and you should build an iron gate. This is the gateway to the Western Regions. You must not be careless..."

Finally, Zhang Yue issued an order to pardon the sins of dead soldiers and deserters of the Han army, and all those willing to return to Luntai would be granted forty acres of land.

"You must fulfill your duties and protect the reputation of my great Han Dynasty..."

"promise……"

After everyone left, Zhang Yue approached Li Si alone.

"Mr. Li, I plan to return to Chang'an, what do you think?"

Li Si smiled and said, "Great kindness, Si also intends to go along with it..."

It happened that the envoy from Chang'an was still in Luntai, so Zhang Yue and Li Si directly handed over the memorial to return to Chang'an and asked him to forward it on his behalf.

After the envoy from Chang'an left, Luntai went back to the work of sowing winter wheat.

Although Luntai has been in the flames of war in the past two years, the reclamation work has never stopped.

After years of development, Luntai has reclaimed 400,000 acres of land.

Among them, there are about 200,000 acres of land suitable for growing winter wheat.

Various foods made from Sumai have become the main rations for the Han army in the Western Regions.

In order to ensure the planting of Sumai, Zhang Yue took the lead in the intense sowing work.

It’s already mid-November when we finish planting wheat.

On the 24th day of the 11th month of the twelfth lunar month in the Tianhan period, approval finally came from Chang'an allowing Zhang Yue, Li Si and others to return to Beijing.

After Zhang Yue made preparations, he set off eastward on November 28, the fourth year of Tianhan Dynasty.

In addition to the immigration representatives from Yunyang County, they were accompanied by Mani, Yang You, Zhao Guanghan and others who were representatives of the Sogdian caravan.

Li Si has returned to Loulan at this time, and the two will go to Chang'an together after meeting in Loulan.

The plan suddenly changed. Shortly after arriving in Loulan, a blizzard began, and the road was blocked due to heavy snow. The group had to stay temporarily in Loulan.

On this day, Zhang Yue and Li Si were drinking and enjoying the snow in Li Si's house in Loulan.

"Da da da!"

Amidst the wind and snow, a man on horseback rushed into Loulan City.
