Chapter 104 Dong Zhuo: You must increase your official position! Be the Governor of Sishui Pass!
"Hahaha! Good! That's great! I really didn't misjudge the person! This Kede is a real general!"
At Dong Zhuo's house, after listening to the envoy's account of what happened at Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo, the current prime minister, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was extremely happy.
Dong Zhuo did not doubt the authenticity of what the messenger said, because the messenger himself was very trusted by him.
More importantly, this envoy had never met Liu Cheng before, so naturally it was impossible for him to specifically help Liu Cheng speak.
Moreover, what the messenger said happened in front of the two armies and was witnessed by many people.
It only takes a little inquiry to make it clear.
He didn't think that this person had the courage to deceive himself on this matter.
"Uncle Huang is truly a general, brave and resourceful, both wise and courageous!
The Prime Minister is really discerning in how to use generals!"
The messenger answered with a smile and patted Dong Zhuo's ass.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing again.
Then he picked up the yellow-covered head brought back by the messenger and looked at it carefully.
"Sun Wentai is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. He is brave in battle and is a talented general."
"When Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and others invaded Sanfu, Zhang Wen took the lead, Sun Jian joined the army for him, and I was the Polu general."
"Later the thieves retreated, and Zhang Wen sent six armies to pursue them. I left Liu Jing and his four thousand troops to station themselves in peace, thinking they would be able to support them. However, all five troops and horses were lost, and only my entire division returned.
At the beginning, Sun Jian also suggested that Zhang Wen use this method to help each other and deal with the enemy.
Zhang Wen never adopted it, otherwise the defeat would not have been so miserable.
At that time, Sun Jian was just a mere soldier, but he was able to join me, which shows that he is a talented general."
Dong Zhuo held Huang Gai's head and talked about the past.
"Because of this, I paid a lot of attention to this person. I learned that this person later had four capable generals in his hands, and Huang Gai was one of them!"
After that, Dong Zhuo threw Huang Gai's head back into the box.
"How about Sun Jian's so-called Jiangdong Tiger?
Wouldn't it be the same if you meet Ke De?
This Kede is worthy of my high regard for him!"
After speaking, he turned his head and looked not far away, looked at Li Ru, smiled and asked:
"When I sent Kede and his troops to Sishui Pass for support, Wenyou said that we should set priorities for Hua Xiong and the others, so as not to cause a dispute between the two of them and miss the important event.
I think this matter is not a big deal and I don’t need to explain it in detail, but it would be more appropriate.
What now?
If I had given the order to force Ke De to obey orders and Lieutenant Hua, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult to fight a beautiful battle like this..."
Li Ru admired him: "My father-in-law is really unique in knowing people and using soldiers. My son-in-law is ashamed of himself."
Li Ru said that he admired Dong Zhuo, but in his heart he really felt that the person who was good was actually Liu Cheng.
If it weren't for Liu Cheng's outstanding ability and his ability to single-handedly reverse the hostility of Hua Xiong and other veterans towards him in a short period of time, there would have been a lot of disputes at Sishui Pass, which would not have reached the current level.
Before, I had a high opinion of Liu Cheng, but now it seems that I still think a little too low.
Father-in-law, you really found a treasure!
"Pass my order! Grant the title of Marquis of Chenggao Ting, Liu Cheng, Liu Kede's younger brother, Marquis of Sishui Ting!"
Liu Kede, the additional cavalry captain, is appointed as the governor, commanding the troops and horses of Sishui Pass. He is the former chief general of Sishui Pass, and Hua Xiong is his deputy!
From Huaxiong on down, anyone who keeps giving orders can be killed!"
After hearing Li Ru's answer, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but burst out laughing a few times, then looked solemn and began to give orders.
Liu Cheng, a general he valued and had trained in his hands for several months, shone brightly as soon as he was released, making him feel very radiant on his face.
Under such a great victory, it would be impossible not to reward him.
Failure to reward cannot boost morale, nor is it enough to appease the hearts of warriors and make them work harder.
So these days, Dong Zhuo, who has long been accustomed to using official positions and titles to reward and win over people, opened his mouth and gave Liu Shui, Liu Cheng's younger brother, a Tinghou, and directly named it Sishui Pass.
.
The direct source is Liu Cheng's victory at Sishui Pass.
Anyway, these official positions and titles all belong to the Han Dynasty, so they should be used in vain.
Moreover, as early as before, Lingdi Dufu, who was not only greedy for money, but also always wanted to confiscate his military power, was sold as an official for not much money, but he was not inferior to this.
As for why Liu Cheng's title was not raised one level, but Liu Cheng's only younger brother was chosen to be knighted, it was because Dong Zhuo was worried that Liu Cheng would make too many contributions in the future and there would be someone who could not be knighted.
situation.
So I left such a hand in advance.
It can be said that Dong Zhuo considered this matter very far-reaching.
This also shows from one side that Dong Zhuo is really optimistic about Liu Cheng and feels that Liu Cheng will still make great contributions in the days to come.
"My father-in-law, Hua, Hua Xiong is also an old subordinate who has fought with my father-in-law for many years. He has very senior qualifications.
If such an order were given directly, and Captain Hua was ordered to obey Uncle Liu, I am afraid that Hua Xiong and his subordinates would be dissatisfied, thus ruining the important affairs of his father-in-law.
Now, the priorities between the two of them have actually been sorted out, and the relationship is subtle. It would not be good for my father-in-law to issue a clear order to sort out the priorities."
Li Ru was standing next to him. After Dong Zhuo gave the order, he thought for a while and suggested this to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "No, after all, Wenyou, you are still a scholar. You haven't stayed in the army long enough, and you don't know the soldiers clearly enough.
This is a place where the strong are respected.
Ke De has used his own ability to subdue Captain Hua. So, if I pass on this order and stipulate that Ke De will be the main force here at Sishui Pass, there will be no problem.
It's not that I didn't give Lieutenant Hua a chance before, it's just that his skills were inferior to others.
At this time, faced with such an order, what could he say?
Ke De has already achieved this step. If Ke De is not appointed as the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, wouldn't it be possible to break the heart of a general like Ke De?
As for Captain Hua, he basically won't have too many dissatisfactions. Even if he is dissatisfied, judging from the abilities Kede has shown these days, he will definitely be able to properly resolve it!
If you don't believe it, Wenyou, just wait and see, after I convey such an order, Sishui Pass will definitely be more stable than it is now!"
Facing his father-in-law in this state, what else can Li Ru say?
