Chapter 659: The success of opening up and expanding the territory, Liu Hong’s troubles
And the other side!
After Zhang Rang returned to the court, he immediately broke the news in front of the civil and military ministers of the dynasty that Wang Yu was planning to follow the example of Emperor Wu and build a city in the Hetao area, turning all the areas south of Yinshan into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
came out.
Not only that, Zhang Rang also added a special sentence, respectfully requesting His Majesty's Holy Judgment.
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were shocked and dumbfounded. Although they knew that in the Battle of Hetao, Wang Yu won the battle and achieved the result of annihilating nearly 200,000 enemies.
But apart from this, they know nothing else.
Now it seems that the results of this victory are definitely greater than they imagined. Since Wang Yu made such a request, it is enough to prove that the land he expanded is hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
"This is the achievement of opening up territory and expanding the territory."
After hearing the discussion of the ministers below, Liu Hong instantly had an idea. He also had some understanding of Wang Yu.
Although on the surface, he allowed himself to decide at the court whether to build a city in Hetao.
In fact, it was just a notice that whether he agreed or not, he would build a city in the Loop.
Even if Liu Hong knew the truth, he couldn't tell it directly in public. After all, he also wanted to save face.
Therefore, after Liu Hong thought about it for a while, he agreed to Wang Yu's request and praised Wang Yu by the way, saying that he opened up new territories and expanded his territory and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
Not only that, even the civil and military ministers below gave Wang Yu a thumbs up.
Everyone felt Wang Yu's ability. After all, this was the credit for regaining the lost territory. Since more than thirty years ago, the Hetao has slowly fallen into the hands of foreigners.
Who would have thought that at this time, some of them were subdued by Wang Yu, which was not much less than the annihilation of nearly 200,000 enemies.
If nothing else happens, Wang Yu has just been granted the title of Marquis and will probably be promoted again soon. This is really enviable. Why doesn’t he have such a child in his family?
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were extremely jealous of Wang Yu.
Looking at the 400-year-old Han Dynasty, except for Huo Qubing, the original captain of Piao Yao, because he was the favorite general of Emperor Wu, his promotion speed was very scary.
As for the others, I am afraid that absolutely no one can do it on a par with Wang Yu who is far away in Bingzhou.
…………
Seeing that the atmosphere was already rising, Zhang Rang proposed this Battle of Hetao. The Bingzhou Army also suffered heavy losses, so they temporarily repaired with the aliens and agreed to fight again next year.
Zhang Rang's words also mentioned from the side that the Bingzhou Army must be repaired before it can replenish its troops on the spot.
Moreover, considering the population base of Bingzhou, I hope the imperial court can order support for refugees from various places to move into Bingzhou to replenish the population lost in the war and fight against the foreign armies in the north.
With the atmosphere just created, Liu Hong agreed without much hesitation.
After all, the Bingzhou Army suffered heavy losses this time. If they were not allowed to repair themselves, if they were defeated by the foreign army in the next battle, then he, the emperor, would not be able to shirk the responsibility.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to send real elite support.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Liu Hong temporarily gave up dealing with the Bingzhou Army and gave them time to recover.
As long as the Bingzhou Army can regain its strength, even if it only sends an elite force of 30,000 people, it will be more effective than an army of 100,000 people.
Liu Hong thought about this very thoroughly.
As for the issue of relocating the refugees, Liu Hong was willing to help. After all, these people had been wandering around the country, which made him, the emperor, so ruthless.
Now that Wang Yu is willing to take over them, why not Liu Hong? Anyway, for the current court, it is just a matter of imperial edict.
The Luoyang court would not pay money or food for their migration, it would just issue an order to allow it. As for whether to go to Bingzhou or not, that was their own business.
Whether he can reach it successfully or not is not something he needs to worry about.
It has to be said that Liu Hong, the emperor, was really tough. He was ambitious and responsible, but more importantly, he was indifferent and ruthless. Perhaps this is a common problem among most emperors.
After the court meeting ended, Liu Hong immediately announced his resignation from the court, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also went back to their homes, each to find their mother, and began to think about the contents of this court meeting.
Zhang Rang, who was following Liu Hong, suddenly noticed that Liu Hong, who was smiling, was frowning for some reason. This made Zhang Rang's heart skip a beat. He didn't understand what kind of tricks this bitch could do.
"Your Majesty, Wuyang Hou is expanding the territory of Hetao. This is a great and happy event. I wonder why your Majesty is frowning, as if he is a little troubled?" Zhang Rang asked Liu Hong cautiously.
"It is because the expansion of territory is a great joy, so I am troubled. After all, he is a meritorious minister, and he will be rewarded for his merits. But what worries me is that I don't know what kind of official should I give to Wang Yu.
."
Liu Hong rubbed his temples and said with great distress: "If I remember correctly, Wang Yu is only sixteen years old now, and he has already reached the point where he has become a former general of the Han Dynasty and has been awarded the title of Wuyang Marquis!"
"Sixteen years old, some people are still at home. It can be said that this is a huge achievement that many people have been unable to achieve after struggling all their lives."
"But he has to be rewarded for his contribution this time. But if Wang Yu is allowed to continue to be promoted, then Wang Yu's promotion speed will be too fast. It always makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable."
Just when Liu Hong was distressed, Princess Wannian who was passing by happened to hear what Liu Hong had just said to Zhang Rang, and a bright light randomly flashed in her mind!
She immediately came over, hugged Liu Hong's arm, and said coquettishly: "Father, why are you so worried about this matter? Since Wang Yu is too young, he naturally cannot hold a high position. Otherwise, wouldn't he let him
Other people’s jokes.”
"In my daughter's opinion, it is better to reward him with some horseshoe gold and some food to show the court's favor towards him."
There is a saying that goes well, never offend a woman, because she can remember some things for a lifetime.
Just like today!
It was obviously because of what happened that year that Princess Wannian planned to pass this matter and give him a small lesson first to let Wang Yu know that she, a princess, was not someone to be trifled with.
Zhang Rang, the veteran at the side, suddenly felt like his lungs were about to explode after hearing Princess Wannian's suggestion to Liu Hong. It turned out that only women and villains are difficult to raise.
Could it be that the Lord once offended Princess Wannian?
Otherwise, her intentions would not be so sinister. She actually wanted to use some food and some wealth to offset her family's military achievements in expanding the territory.
