When Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's heads arrived at the gate of Ji County, the morale of the rebels collapsed, and they opened the city gates and surrendered to Liu Bei. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's garrison in other Yuyang provinces also surrendered to Liu Yu. Since then, it has brought disaster to the entire Youzhou.
The rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju was completely put down.
Liu Bei ordered the army to be stationed in Ji County. He took Guan, Zhang, Zhao and a hundred personal guards to Yuyang to meet Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.
Liu Yu personally came out of Yuyang City to meet Liu Bei and the others!
When Liu Bei saw him dismounting from his horse, he saluted and said, "Greetings to Duke Ming!"
Liu Yule said cheerfully: "Xuande, you did not disappoint me. We are really lucky to have a talent like you in our clan!"
Then he looked at Guan Yu and smiled and said: "Yun Chang, I didn't expect that you are so powerful that you can actually kill Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju among thousands of troops. I really made a mistake!"
Liu Yu was also familiar with several generals around Liu Bei, and knew that they were fierce generals, but he did not expect that they would be so brave. If Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju had not been intercepted and killed in advance this time, the war would have been delayed for who knows how long!
Guan Yu said politely: "Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and the two thieves fled for their lives and panicked, so Guan's formation beheaded them!"
Liu Yu patted Guan Yu's body and said, "This is also amazing!"
The people on both sides were from Youzhou, and they were very familiar with each other. After a few words, they walked towards the governor's house in Yuyang! After the host and guest were seated separately!
Liu Yu looked at Liu Bei and smiled and said: "This time we can put down Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion, thanks to Xuande. I think with Xuande's contribution, I can be made a marquis this time!"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Thank you for your kind words!"
Only Zhang Fei said unhappily: "Who is still fighting to the death now? I can become the Marquis of Guannei for 5 million yuan!"
It was still very difficult to become a marquis in the Han Dynasty, otherwise the generals of the Han Dynasty would not take the title of marquis as their life goal. Of course, it is different now. A Guannei Marquis can be bought for 5 million in Xiyuan, so now the Han Dynasty’s generals
Although the Marquis is not in ruins yet, the number of them is much larger!
These words made everyone embarrassed for a while!
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and told him not to talk nonsense!
Liu Yu, on the other hand, comforted him and said, "Xuande is different after all. He was rewarded by himself!"
Then he looked at Zhang Fei and explained: "Everyone should be considerate of your Majesty. Now that the imperial court is at a loss, our army of hundreds of thousands will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to fight for two months. It is good to compensate the casualties and reward the heroes.
Hundreds of millions, the entire Youzhou has been plundered by Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, and the imperial court has to find a way to spend hundreds of millions to resettle the refugees in Youzhou!"
"The imperial court spent more than one billion dollars on this war, which is almost equivalent to the imperial court's tax revenue for more than half a year. If His Majesty hadn't found a way to get some money, I'm afraid the Youzhou rebellion would not have been so easy to put down, and the people would not know how many casualties there would be.
!So everyone must also be considerate of His Majesty."
Liu Bei clasped his fists and said, "Xiaguan and others will naturally understand!"
Liu Yu continued: "You have made great achievements this time, and you will be reused by the imperial court immediately. You must report it to His Majesty, and protect the people. Don't live up to your ability!"
Liu Bei and others clasped their fists and said: "No!"
Then Liu Bei looked around and said strangely: "Brother Bogui is not here?"
He found that Liu Yu had Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Tian Kai and other generals from the Youzhou clan, but he only lacked his senior brother Gongsun Zan!
Tian Kai had a good relationship with Gongsun Zan. When he saw Liu Yu praising Liu Bei, he said: "This is a gathering of heroes. How can Bogui, a defeated general, have the nerve to come here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around him instantly cooled down!
This time, Youzhou's suppression of the rebellion can be described as meritorious. Even though Gongsun Zan suffered a huge defeat, he finally relied on Liu Yu to recruit the Wuwan people and let him go. He originally wanted to atone for his sins, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so powerful.
, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju were wiped out in two battles, and now he could no longer atone for his sins.
In fact, Liu Yu also called Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan thought that his younger brother would climb on top of him, and he would be more likely to be granted a title this time, and he was lucky not to be punished by the court. He really didn't want Liu Bei to see it.
Seeing how miserable he was, he simply claimed to be ill!
Liu Bei remembered Gongsun Zan's care for him in his early years and said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Brother Bogui faced three times the rebellion, but still severely wounded Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, laying the foundation for us to successfully suppress the rebellion later. He also deserves the credit this time."
A share!”
Xian Yufu immediately said: "Xuande is right, Bogui also has his share!"
Then he led everyone to change the topic and stopped talking about Gongsun Zan.
Then wine and meat are served and everyone celebrates!
At this time, Liu Bei walked up to Liu Yu and asked: "Ming Gong, Bei is in Jizhou and doesn't know what happened in Youzhou. Why is Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion so huge? We have left 100,000 field soldiers in Youzhou."
Where did you go?"
This is what Liu Bei is most confused about. At first, he and Liu Yu left 100,000 field soldiers in Youzhou, not only to guard against the Xianbei people but also to guard against the Thunder Duke of Mayi. However, this time during the Zhang Chun Zhangju Rebellion, these 100,000 field soldiers
It's like disappearing without a trace!
Liu Yu could only smile bitterly and said: "With the death of the people and the end of the government, Xuande and I have been transferred away from Youzhou, and the thunder gong of Mayi has not been moved for several years. These Youzhou officials thought that Youzhou did not need so many soldiers, so they dismissed these field soldiers."
Not to mention annexing their fields, some of the 100,000 field soldiers became the frontier troops of Youzhou, some joined Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in the rebellion, and some fled to Mayi and became Lei Gong's subordinates!"
Liu Bei's face turned pale and he said coldly: "Ming Gong also wants to clean up the officialdom in Youzhou. The affairs of the Han Dynasty are caused by these corrupt officials. Without them, the Han Dynasty would not have so many things!"
"Lei Gong of Mayi is lurking in the abyss, ready to devour the big men at any time. They actually sent the soldiers from the field to Lei Gong's rule. They are really not afraid that Lei Gong will hang them all!"
Then Liu Bei told Liu Yu about Xu Wei's military operations this month, but when he heard that Lei Gong had quelled the attack of more than 100,000 barbarians in less than a month, he immediately regarded Lei Gong as the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty, because even if
It would be difficult for a big man to win when faced with an attack by hundreds of thousands of barbarians!
He even couldn't believe it and said, "Is this true?"
Liu Bei nodded and said: "I have men in Mayi. This is the first-hand information they got. Now that Thunder Lord is in Meiji, the entire Xiongnu must be swallowed up by the Tengjia Army. By then, Thunder Lord's strength will become even more powerful."
It is so powerful that it is even more difficult for the court to deal with it. Even the current Lei Gong occupies half of Bingzhou, which cannot be underestimated!"
Liu Yu said strangely: "The Hu people are rebellious, but Thunder God can tame them. The Huns have been a powerful tribe for hundreds of years, and they can be swallowed up by Thunder God so easily. I think the Huns fought with us Han Dynasties for hundreds of years and still didn't give in!"
"
Although the Tengjia Army is powerful, it is impossible to be stronger than the imperial court that controls the world. Whether it is the former Han Dynasty or the current imperial court, the Huns have not surrendered despite the attacks of the imperial court. Even the Southern Huns are still as unruly and unruly as they rely on the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yu, who rebelled at every turn, found it strange that the Huns instantly became obedient people after joining the Tengjia Army!
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "It is naturally impossible for the upper class of the Huns to surrender! But Lei Gong did not go to the upper class. Every time he conquered a Huns tribe, the nobles of the Huns were hanged, and the nobles' cattle and sheep were divided among the ordinary tribes of the Huns.
, what do these ordinary people of the Huns know? They just follow whoever gives them a favor. If Lei Gong bribes them like this, they will naturally follow Lei Gong!"
Liu Yu said in shock: "He is indeed a person who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
Liu Yu was really afraid that Lei Gong would use this trick on the Han Dynasty. He thought of the tens of millions of Han people who were in dire straits. If Lei Gong ignited this, the entire Han Dynasty would be blown to pieces by Lei Gong!
Liu Yu said excitedly: "This Thunder Lord cannot be kept!"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "But now that Thunder Lord has become a powerful force, the reason why I am so anxious to put down Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion is because I am worried that Thunder Lord will take advantage of the rebellion in Youzhou to send troops! Ming Gong still wants to find a way to contact the court, and he cannot continue to let Thunder Lord go.
Otherwise, the Lei Gong disaster will be more difficult to quell than the Zhangjiao Rebellion."
Liu Bei thought that the Thunder God around him was getting more and more powerful. The wealthy nobles in Youzhou helped Lei Gong gain tens of thousands more soldiers, and they were also soldiers who were full of hatred for the imperial court. He really wanted to kill all these short-sighted noble families!
After Liu Yu understood the power of Lei Gong, he said: "Xuande, please keep your subordinate Guan Yu. I want to restore Daijun and farm in Shanggu. Without a hundred thousand soldiers in Youzhou, Lei Gong will attack Youzhou sooner or later!"
"
Liu Bei heard Liu Yu's words and smiled happily: "Ming Gong should have taken action on Youzhou long ago. With them here, Youzhou will be in turmoil even without Lei Gong. Xiaguan has seen clearly in Jizhou these years, so Jizhou
The ones who are causing the turmoil are the powerful noble families in Jizhou. They force the people to rebel again and again, which is why the rebellion in Jizhou continues to kill people!"
But thinking of Gongsun Zan who was still in an unlucky state, he recommended to Liu Yu: "Ming Gong, brother Bogui has rich political experience, outstanding military exploits, and has been in Youzhou for many years and has high enough qualifications. Why don't you let Rang take charge of the farming affairs!
"
Liu Yu frowned and said, "I'm afraid he doesn't want to do the hard work of farming!"
At first, Liu Yu also wanted Gongsun Zan to come to farm, but Gongsun Zan did not like such a position!
But Liu Bei said: "After this experience, I think Brother Bogui will no longer look down on farming affairs!"
Liu Yu thought about it and felt that he should help a veteran like Gongsun Zan!
"Okay! I recommend him to the imperial court to become a field captain. I hope he can do a better job this time! Don't cause any more trouble!"
And after Gongsun Zan knew that Liu Bei recommended him to Liu Yu to become a military commander, he finally figured it out because of Liu Bei's example. If he had 100,000 military soldiers in his hands, this pure Zhangju would be nothing more than his own title.
As a stepping stone, he did not refuse this time, and at the same time came out to meet with Liu Bei to thank him for recommending him, but the relationship between the two parties was no longer as harmonious as before.
News of the great victory in Youzhou spread to Luoyang, and the whole city celebrated.
Emperor Ling issued an imperial edict to reward the frontline soldiers.
Liu Bei was promoted to the general of fighting against the bandits and the Marquis of Guannei. Because Guan Yu killed Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju was also promoted to the rank of General of the General of the Army and the Marquis of Guannei. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were promoted to the rank of school captain, while other Youzhou generals Xian Yufu and Yan
Rou, Tian Kai and others were also promoted to one level each, and the soldiers were rewarded with more silk, money and food.
However, Emperor Ling's happiness did not last long, as he had just celebrated the New Year.
Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, and Liu Yu all wrote letters to be on guard against the Thunder Lord in Mayi!
Only then did the imperial court know that Lei Gong had occupied the entire Xihe County, and that the Han's number one Mazinan Huns had been annexed by the Tengjia Army! Lei Gong could even defeat hundreds of thousands of Hu people all by himself!
It's no longer possible to cover one's ears and steal the news.
Emperor Ling summoned the Three Dukes and Nine Qings of the Han Dynasty and said: "We have just put down the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, and another Thunder Lord appears. Now let's talk about what should we do with this Thunder Lord?"
Everyone was silent because they didn't know what Lei Gong should do!
The Lei Gong of Mayi has defeated the Hu people twice in a row, and both were at level 100,000. Even the Han court could not guarantee victory in such a number of battles. It can be seen that the Lei Gong is completely different from the ordinary rabble, occupying half of Bingzhou.
Lei Gong can already be regarded as a separatist force, and it is difficult to be like Zhang Jiao, Zhang Niujiao, and Zhang Chun, who were rebellious in their rise and fall.
Lu Zhi thought for a while and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Thunder Lord of Mayi has occupied half of Bingzhou due to the neglect of the imperial court in these years. Its power has become strong and it is difficult to defeat it in one battle like other forces. I propose to seal the left
General Huangfu Song is the general of Zhenbei, commanding the military and political power of the three states of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou, and uses an army of 200,000 to suppress and destroy the Thunder Lord of Mayi!"
As soon as this proposal came out, the officials were in an uproar!
If Huangfu Song really became the general of Zhenbei, 70% of the entire Han army would be in Huangfu Song's hands, and his power would be greater than that of the current general He Jun.
Zhang Rang, who had a grudge against Huangfu Song, immediately spoke out: "Lu Zhi, you are causing harm to the country and the people. Where do you put His Majesty!"
General He Jun knelt down and shouted excitedly: "Such a weak trunk and strong branch is really a strategy to destroy the country. If Huangfu Song has the intention to rebel, who in the world can control him!"
Prime Minister Xu also knelt down and said: "It's just a thunder gong that needs the court's attention. Just send a few generals to destroy it!"
The people who knelt down after him had already filled the court hall, and everyone was shouting and screaming. In short, they all had one idea: Huangfu Song could not be allowed to become the general of Zhenbei!
There was nothing that could be done about it. Huangfu Song wanted to be an isolated minister, but the people of Xiliang did not regard him as one of their own.
The nobles of the Kanto clan believed that Huangfu Song was a general of the Kansai clan and did not consider him one of their own.
The relationship between Shi Changshi and him was even worse, and the two sides clashed more than once or twice. They were even more unwilling to let Huangfu Song occupy such an important position. If Huangfu Song was brainwashed by the nobles and led an army of 200,000 to Luoyang City, they would
What could they do to resist, so they couldn't let Huangfu Song occupy such an important position.
Even the Ling Emperor himself did not want anyone to occupy this position, because if someone really took charge of the 200,000-strong army, it would be too much of a threat to him. Not long ago, Wang Fen rebelled and actually wanted to depose him as emperor. The Ling Emperor knew that he would treat
Huangfu Song is not a good person. If he holds a grudge and comes to the side of Qingjun, he may really be kicked off the throne!
