Chapter 41 It's useless for me to be successful alone
Next, Liu Jian probably told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei what he thought.
According to their achievements this time, not only Liu Jian and Liu Bei brothers can secure effective official careers, but also Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can become practical figures in the Han Dynasty border army by virtue of their military achievements.
In this battle, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, under Liu Jian's arrangement, achieved a lot of achievements. This time, the two of them gained a great reputation in the northern part of the Great Wall.
After calculating the achievements of the two men in the past few days, Guan Yu beheaded a total of 177 heads in this great battle, while Zhang Fei beheaded 161 heads.
It may not sound like much, but in fact, this is a very remarkable achievement in terms of personal military exploits.
It is nonsense to say that beheading a thousand heads is a lie. In wars in the Han Dynasty, merit was indeed judged by the number of heads, but was it so easy to cut off a person's head?
First of all, you don't just cut the enemy with a knife and you can take the enemy's head.
Those who were injured, those who were routed, those who surrendered with the crowd in tow, those whose bodies were taken back by the enemy, or those who died after being hacked and returned.
In the first battle launched by the newly appointed Qiang Protector Colonel Huangfugui of Sanming in Liangzhou, 800 people were killed and more than 100,000 surrendered. From this data, we can see the proportion of beheadings.
Therefore, in this war, except for those top generals who were supported by their own troops or who falsely reported their head count, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's achievements can be said to be the highest!
Lu Zhi told Liu Jian the day before yesterday that based on the achievements of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it would be no problem to serve as a 600-stone Qujunhou in the garrison in the border county.
This means that none of them have any connections. Otherwise, with the achievements of Liu Jian and others this time, if they were replaced by the descendants of the aristocratic family, they might be knocked down from a position that is higher than two thousand stones. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei might also be able to Get a thousand stones.
But unfortunately, their backstage is too weak, that is, because their reputation is too loud this time, they cannot be snatched away. If not, this achievement may be directly snatched away by someone with ulterior motives, and there will be no hair left.
But Liu Jian was not discouraged. Although they had no background, through this time, their official careers and those of Liu Bei had been opened up, as well as those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
The 600-stone Qu Junhou is not high, but it is definitely not low. Liu Jian believes that as long as it is run properly, there will be no problem in getting promoted. It just depends on how they plan.
Although the Han army defeated the Xianbei people this time and completely divided the three Xianbei tribes, this does not mean that the small tribes in the central and eastern Xianbei will not continue to attack the border counties in the future. Therefore, as long as they are officers stationed in the border counties, they will There will definitely be opportunities to make meritorious deeds and continue to be promoted to high positions.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other.
Then Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Just follow your brother's arrangements!"
This movement involved the wound on his arm again, causing him to grin in pain.
Liu Jian hurriedly asked Zhang Fei to put down his arm, and then said: "Brother, I know that you are strong-willed and straightforward. It is not suitable for you to stay in Zhuojun and deal with the princes and officials at all levels. Yesterday I talked to Master Lu discussed it and met with Dong Zhuo beforehand. Now the Xianbei tribes are scattered and defeated, but the forces in central Xianbei are still there. Although they are attacking each other at the moment, they will definitely continue to hijack Yanmen, Daijun and other places in the future."
"Master Lu knows that you are brave and brave. He wants to use this battle to show your merits and leave you in Yanmen Border County as a 1600-stone-qu military marquis. The soldiers and generals in Bingzhou and border areas are all locals of Liangzhou or Bingzhou.
People, I always deal with foreigners, and it is relatively easy to operate interpersonal relationships. You stay in the border counties and garrison to build meritorious services and accumulate more merits. I will follow my master to Luoyang in the future, and I will help you operate in the capital.
If you are promoted in the border county, I will help you find a position as the county captain within a few years, which is worth two thousand dan!"
Zhang Fei felt a little uneasy when he heard that Liu Jian wanted to leave him in Bingzhou.
But if you think about it carefully, several brothers left their hometowns to do big things, and he couldn't hold them back. Besides, with his nature, if he really stayed in the border county to make achievements, it would be a good choice.
Who knows, I might actually be able to earn two thousand dan in the future!
Zhang Fei was full of energy, and Liu Jian looked at Guan Yu again.
Guan Yu knew it was his turn, so he said, "Brother, please give me your instructions."
"Yun Chang, actually, my original intention was for you to be promoted in the border counties just like Fei. On the one hand, you can win the hearts of the soldiers, and on the other hand, you can establish military merits. But after thinking about it carefully, it is still not appropriate. I want you to go to Youzhou.
, let you and Xianhe work together to cooperate."
Guan Yu's expression became solemn: "Brother, if you have any ideas, just give me your instructions."
"Okay, now in Hebei, Taiping Road is still relatively fierce. Many Guizhou leaders have sneaked into the Taihang Mountains. As many as hundreds of thousands of gangsters have formed mountain villages. The scale is very large, and the number of refugees in each county continues to increase. Although Xianbei has
There is no serious harm, but soon there will be huge bandit troubles in various parts of Youzhou, which Master Lu and I have already foreseen."
Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded suddenly: "Brother, do you want to take advantage of this contribution and recommend me to serve under the governor of Zhuo County... to suppress bandits?"
"No, Mr. Lu's subordinates cannot bring out your abilities and capabilities. I have discussed with Master Lu and he wants to recommend you to serve as a military officer under the new governor of Youzhou."
"Ah? Governor?"
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Who?"
Liu Jian said seriously: "The newly appointed governor of Youzhou, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an, are usually modest and a descendant of Emperor Guangwu. When Master Lu was in Beijing, he was quite close to him. I heard Master Lu say that this person is quite good."
Foresight, he succeeded Tao Qian as the governor of Youzhou this time, intending to rectify the border troubles and banditry in Youzhou. Yesterday I heard Master Lu say that Liu Boan is also a talented person who can lead troops, so I want to ask Master Lu to recommend you to
Liu Bo'an was appointed as a military officer."
Guan Yu hesitated and said: "With a background like this, how can Liu Bo'an be reused?"
"Under normal circumstances, he might not, but you were not conquered by him, but went to serve in his mansion with military merit. There is an essential difference, and Youzhou is actually in a mess, with banditry happening frequently."
"You have made great contributions to Danhan Mountain this time, and your reputation for bravery has spread to the border counties. With Master Lu's recommendation, Liu Bo'an has no reliable warriors around him, so he will definitely use you to recruit troops and suppress the bandits!
"
Guan Yu was suddenly stunned, and he held up his hands and said: "In that case, Guan will do his best to help Liu Shijun eliminate banditry everywhere!"
After hearing this, Liu Jian sighed: "Yun Chang..."
Guan Yu said: "What?"
Liu Jian shook his head and continued: "For those extremely vicious gangsters, you will naturally try your best to exterminate and improve their merits, but for some wavering thieves, or those who are forced to escape into the mountains and forests just because of poverty, you must return the favor.
You need to focus on keeping your heart in mind!”
Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this.
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Yun Chang, I have always known that you are proud of your superiors but not your inferiors. You have the demeanor of a great chivalrous person. In this world, there are many people and many things that people do out of necessity. You are helping Liu Yu to control the troops and suppress the bandits.
The first is, but for those bandits who are willing to submit, we can also be open to the outside world, and the second is to accept some useful people. The third, from now on, it can be regarded as a great cause for us.
It was different before, there was no shortage of money,"
"Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and those people have monopolized the Youzhou horse market, and money will continue to support them. If you can take some strong gangsters or disciples, we can take them. At most, we can support them with some money and food. After all, we also need to have our own
Friends, should we select the best and train them? Of course, we are doing this for the Han Dynasty and for the future stability of the Han Dynasty. After all, who can guarantee that the world will be in chaos? If the world is in chaos, it will be like us.
What should a loyal person do if he has no strength? Do you understand what I mean?"
Jian Yong couldn't hold back his joy at the side.
This is a naked message to Guan Yu: to raise the bandits to respect themselves, to raise the bandits to enrich oneself, and to select the bandits as soldiers.
However, Guan Yu had no doubts about Liu Jian's words, and immediately said: "Brother's order, Guan must remember it!"
Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "Looking back, if there is anything you don't understand or are unsure about, you can discuss it with Jian Xianhe and Su Shuang!"
"Brother, don't worry."
In Liu Jian's mind, if he wanted to overtake others in a corner and achieve great success before troubled times came, it would be useless for him to go far and high by himself.
How much can he accomplish by himself?
It’s useless for me to be successful on my own, you all have to be capable!
Only if these brothers have made great progress in various fields can they be able to enjoy the future!
Liu Jian promoted Xiaolian himself and went to the Central Government of Luoyang to accumulate fame and control the overall situation.
Liu Bei followed the path of Chai Lian, going to other states and counties to serve, accumulating local resources, and echoing him internally and externally.
Su Shuang joined forces with the Zhen family, the Gongsun family, and Zhang Shiping to monopolize the Hebei horse market and accumulated huge wealth as financial backing.
Jian Yong infiltrated the county government and controlled local politics in his hometown in Zhuo County.
Guan Yu served as a soldier in Youzhou, helping Liu Yu pacify the bandits in Youzhou. At the same time, he took the opportunity to expand his influence in the Youzhou army, gather his trusted soldiers, half-suppressed and half-pacified, and at the same time laid a solid foundation of friendship with some local bandits and bandits.
.
Jian Yong, Guan Yu, and Su Shuang supported each other to consolidate their power.
Zhang Fei took up the post of Marquis of Qujun in the border county, continued to fight foreigners to accumulate military merit, and took the road of military promotion. It would be best to become a famous border commander who shocked the Hulu.
In this way, the basic development strategy of Liu Jian's family was decided.
Walking on multiple legs will definitely yield unexpected results in the end!
Perhaps, for others, the only thing they need to worry about is that people like Guan Yu and Jian Yong have entered the governor's house and the governor's house and become the confidants of others. Will they betray Liu Jian in the future?
If it were anyone else, Liu Jian might not be sure, but for people like Guan Yu and Jian Yong, Liu Jian has full confidence in them.
He also has full confidence in the relationship between them.
What is a team?
If you want to do something big and your team still needs to be suspicious, then just stop doing anything and go home and farm.
Thinking of this, Liu Jian stretched out his hands and said to everyone in the tent: "I swear here today that although I will be separated from you for a while and work on our own things, I, Liu Jian, will always regard the four of you as brothers in life and death.
Never betray! If you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate you!"
Without saying anything, Guan Yu put his hands on the back of Liu Jian's hands: "Yu's life was given to him by his brother. No matter whether he joined the governor's office or became a soldier in Youzhou, Guan would only recognize his brother and no one else in his life."
!”
"Same to Bei!"
"Me too!"
"Oh, so am I, so am I!"
After each made an oath, Liu Bei laughed loudly and said: "We, the Five Tigers of Zhuo County, are all people with their own official careers now. We are all good at developing and saving capital. After a year or two, let's see who has a better career."
Make it the biggest!”
After hearing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but frown.
Zhuoxian Five Tigers?
Guan is from Hedong!
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhang Fei say: "Brother! There is one more thing. I want to ask my brother to make the decision."
"What's the matter, dear brother?"
"In this battle at Tanhan Mountain, I was hit by an arrow in my arm. The situation was quite dangerous. Thanks to a military companion, he bravely guarded me and blocked two swords for me. I want to ask my brother to help find him and let me
Thank you very much!”
"Oh? There is also such a thing. What is this companion's name? You asked!"
