The little fat man has never forgotten his ideals and ambitions. He wants to build a prosperous age comparable to that of Xiaowen and Xiaojing, and he wants to build an era of great governance that can intimidate the border as well as Xiaowu's period. He always felt that this was It seemed so far away that he had just entered the dynasty, and he had a foreign relative, the Queen Mother, who was eunuch, and a powerful party member from an aristocratic family outside. Years of disasters, and exorbitant taxes had plunged the people into abyss.
Now is the end of the fifth year of Jianning. The little fat man has been the emperor for five years. All his relatives have been eliminated, the farmland has increased dramatically, the eunuchs have been obeyed, and the party members have been divided. There is nothing in the court that can hinder the emperor from making great plans. Reforming the administrative system and the system of civilian settlements has allowed the grain production of major grain-producing states such as Ji, Yan, Si, Qing, and Xu to increase dramatically, making these states instantly wealthy, and the people have no worries about food and clothing!
The cattle herding system has also improved the situation in Liangzhou and other border areas. While herding cattle, the migrating powerful people and the foreigners who have joined the army have made Liangzhou shine. Zhang Huan even led two battalions of Northern soldiers to guard the place. The situation of Liangzhou's successive battles has been improved, so much so that even the people who heard the attack hurriedly reported to the emperor, asking the emperor to let the Northern troops guarding the border also establish military camps, so that Liangzhou would be completely changed!
But the little fat man doesn’t allow it. The Northern Army is my sharp sword. It is used to kill the enemy, not to farm. If the Northern Army is to farm, what use will the farmers in the world have? Even so, the people of Liangzhou will have to fight against the enemy. The emperor loved him so much that many Liangzhou scholars came to the Imperial Academy and knelt down in front of the palace gate to express their gratitude to the little fat man.
As for Yangzhou, Duan Juan completely pacified Shanyue, which had been causing trouble to the local area for many years, and gained more than five to six million people at once. Wang Fu had already gone to Yangzhou. It can be seen that not long after, Yangzhou, which has a vast territory, It will definitely become a wealthy state on par with Jizhou and Yanzhou, and Duan Jiong went to Yangzhou this time and wiped out the local bandits!
This made the Jingzhou bandits surrender. They were really afraid that they would be encircled and suppressed by the Northern Army just like the Yangzhou bandits. As a result, all the major states in the world became prosperous and prosperous. Of course, they also had to build roads. Under the full responsibility of Wen Renxi, the road has been built from Luoyang to Runan County.
This is a huge project, which connects Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Sili and other areas, allowing a lot of traffic. If the emperor had not canceled the vehicle and vessel tax for one year, I am afraid that the vehicle and vessel tax would be enough to launch several more battles of Shanyue.
And these constantly aroused the ambition in the little fat man's heart. The rule of Wenjing? The prosperity of Yonglong? I want to build a prosperous Jianning era! Let thousands of people in the future generations praise me, let everyone build temples for me, and let everyone in the future generations. Each descendant builds a large temple for himself and worships it personally!
The little fat man's eyes were full of sparks when he looked at the great Han Dynasty.
When Duan Jiong came, the little fat man sent out the highest-level reception. He Xiu, Yuan Feng, Wen Renxi and others formed a high-level official reception delegation, which went out four miles from the city to greet the envoy. The people of Luoyang heard that the army When the brave warriors returned, they came spontaneously one after another. He Xiu and others did not expel these people, but He Xiu once again caused a sensation among the people.
Duan Yan rode on horseback and slowly approached Luoyang. He felt calm. As one of the most capable generals in the Han Dynasty, he had returned home with a full load countless times. Therefore, he was not nervous. The same was true for Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi and others. , they often followed the Northern Army in battles, and were not excited about it, even Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song. They were both older and had military experience, but Sun Jian and others were unbearably excited.
Especially Sun Jian, a young man who had not yet been crowned, was trembling all over, licking his lips and speechless. The same was true for Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Zhang Ji, Cheng Pu and others behind him.
They were young and had never returned with such a great victory. Before this, every time they fought, they had forced the opponent to surrender. Speaking of which, this was the first tough battle in their lives!
They also performed extremely well.
When the common people saw the slowly approaching army from a distance, they immediately exclaimed and cheered. The cheers made Sun Jian and other generals even more excited. Their faces were red and they raised their heads high, looking particularly arrogant.
Duan Jiong was also affected by this atmosphere, with a smile on his face. Suddenly, he saw He Xiu and other ministers who had been waiting for a long time in the distance. Duan Jiong quickly dismounted, and then many captains and commanders also dismounted.
He Xiu led all the officials there, and after chatting with Duan Juan for a while, he took Duan Juan towards Luoyang.
Among the crowd, there were three young men who looked at Sun Jian on the horse with some envy. They were Yuan Shao and the other three. Yuan Shu said with some displeasure: "Brother, he seems to be about the same age as you... He can do
Yes, why can't we do it?" Yuan Shao frowned and was speechless. Cao Cao said: "Erlang, do you want us to join the Southern Army? In the future, we will definitely be able to ride on our tall horses and let the Third Duke come to greet us!!!"
Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
Yuan Shao sighed and said: "As sons of a noble family, how can we join the Southern Army as soldiers? Let's wait and see if my father can become a Yulin Lang and enter the eyes of the emperor..." Yuan Shu heard this.
, was a little disappointed and frowned, but Cao Cao bared his teeth with some joy and said: "You are the son of a noble family, but I am not. They all call me an eunuch, so I can go to the Southern Army!!"
Yuan Shu pointed at Cao Cao and cursed: "Hey, you shameless eunuch, we won't go, what are you going to do! If you join the Southern Army privately, we will never have contact with you again!!", these words
It made Yuan Shao and Cao Cao laugh.
............
When Duan Juan led the meritorious men into the palace, most of the soldiers were a little scared. They never dreamed that one day they would be able to walk in here and get rewards from the emperor. The little fat man walked out happily and saw Duan
Jiao and others laughed and said: "My champions are back!" Everyone was overjoyed and came forward to pay their respects.
The little fat man talked to them one by one, and finally walked up to Duan Jiong, held his hand, and said: "The general has done a great job, I don't know how I should reward him?" Duan Jiong said quickly: "It's a matter of duty.
, How dare you ask for a reward?" The little fat man laughed again, and finally, he awarded the title of Sima to each school captain, and also rewarded him with a lot of money, good horses, good swords, etc.
As for Duan Jiong, he was named General Zuo, the leader of the imperial court.
After that, there was a big banquet to entertain the three armies.
Because of his young age, the little fat man has never hunted since he came to the throne. But now, with this great victory, the little fat man also intends to hold a huge hunt. Not only does he want the clan members to come, but he also wants these war achievements to come.
Prominent generals came to participate and rewarded them with a hunt that represented royal bravery. At the banquet, the little fat man put forward his own idea.
Except for Wen Renxi, many ministers agreed. Among the officials, only Wen Renxi had a sad face.
