Chapter 163 Zhang Yi returns to Luoyang
Kill tens of thousands of enemies, recover three counties, and capture the enemy chief alive.
Such great achievements in boosting the hearts of the people have not appeared in the Han Dynasty for many years.
When Zhang Yi took the prison car into Luoyang City, the Kyoto, which is home to hundreds of thousands of people, was instantly in an uproar.
It is true that the people have become accustomed to hearing all kinds of bad news over the years. Suddenly, good news comes, and they are still a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, the main roads of Luoyang City were crowded with people coming to watch. It was also because the city was too disturbing, so Emperor Liu Hong directly held a court meeting and wanted to summon Zhang Yi in the hall and use this good news to boost his prestige.
The prison cart was directly in front of the palace gate and was accepted by the eunuch. Zhang Yi, who had already put on the court uniform, came directly to the court hall under Zhang Rang's personal leadership.
This time Huo Hai has given him a good face. When the foreign relatives and party members deal with him, they must consider their military strength.
"I am the governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Yi, pay homage to Your Majesty."
"I'm flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Zhang Yi stood up straight, he straightened his chest and calmed his energy, and said with great energy, "Your Majesty, Bingzhou is a great victory. I escort the Xianbei Shanyu Budugen back to the capital. Please ask Your Majesty to judge."
Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "What's the battle in Bingzhou? Please tell me in detail."
"Report to Your Majesty, since the beginning of winter, the Xianbei Shanyu Bu Dugen has gathered more than 100,000 Xianbei troops and plundered our Bingzhou counties and counties. All of them outside Yanmen Pass were occupied. Although I was the governor of Bingzhou, I had no military power in my hands. I could only organize the county soldiers of each county to defend Yanmen Pass and fight with the bandit army for more than half a month.
In early February, General Huo was ordered by His Majesty to preside over the war in Bingzhou. He not only convinced the gentry of Bingzhou to send troops and grain, but also divided the troops into two groups, supporting Yanmen Pass and entering the grassland from Jizhou. Not only did he kill more than 50,000 enemy troops in front of Yanmen Pass, but he also killed the culprit of the witchcraft disaster that year, Wukui, the southern border."
When Zhang Yi said this, let alone the court officials, even Liu Hong also glared at him.
This news was not mentioned in the war report sent by Zhang Yi before.
Wu Kui has always been a big trouble for Liu's family. As an emperor, he could know the news about Wu Kui from the still alive ancestor. Han Wu Kui destroyed the Southern Barbarians, and Wu Kui regarded Liu as his mortal enemy. For more than two hundred years, he had been deliberately trying to take revenge, just like a knife hanging on the head of the royal family.
Moreover, Wu Kui's combat power was too terrifying. At the heyday of the Han Dynasty, all the monks were dispatched to kill them. Now, monks from all over the world are no longer keen on serving the royal family, so they have no choice but to do anything to him.
Unexpectedly, he would be killed by Huo Hai.
So, before Zhang Yi could talk later, Liu Hong began to ask about the detailed process of Zhang Yi and Huo Hai's killing of Wu Kui.
So, the thrilling battle scenes were slowly spoken by Zhang Yi's mouth, which made Liu Hong and many court officials frightened.
Liu Hong was shocked that there was a strong man like Wu Kui in this world. If he entered the palace, I wonder how many people would fight him for him.
Many court officials were shocked that Huo Hai had so many powerful generals who could actually kill Wu Kui.
In particular, Yuan Shao has regarded it as an invincible person who is not chosen by heaven.
Even He Jin, who was a fool, knew that the climate of Huo Hai had already become stronger at this time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control him in the future, especially after he had the support of Zhang Rang and others, as well as the contribution of killing Wu Kui.
As an ordinary scholar, Zhang Yi was only in the early stages of internal strength, and was responsible for guarding the gates. Naturally, he did not see with his own eyes how Huo Hai killed Wu Kui. The version he described was naturally polished by Huo Hai's think tanks. Among them, some key figures he named were naturally rewarded by the court.
For example, Wang Yun, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, etc.
Huo Hai, a general of the Yellow Turban series, chose to hide. In Zhang Yi's oral version, Chu Yan led thousands of Black Mountain troops into the grassland to wipe out the Xianbei tribes.
After receiving the victory, he naturally rewarded him according to his merits. After all, Zhang Yi also escorted thousands of cattle, sheep, and livestock to Luoyang this time. If Liu Hong did not reward him, he would be disappointed to the hearts of all court officials.
As Huo Hai expected, he was granted the title of Marquis of Li, and his position was a country! Naturally, he would not give it too good. Bingzhou is a relatively bitter and cold Yunzhong County, so Huo Hai became Marquis of Yunzhong.
In order to prevent Huo Hai from growing bigger in Bingzhou, the Bingzhou gentry headed by Wang Yun had to be an official in the court. In order to win over the Wang family, Liu Hong and the court officials gave a considerable official position. Wang Yun directly appointed Taifu and one of the nine ministers.
As for the military generals under Huo Hai, Liu Hong and the court officials were in agreement, and they were pitiful. They only gave Chu Yan a cavalry captain, and the rest were all lieutenants, which was to go from Huo Hai to a lieutenant recognized by the court.
Tens of thousands of troops were not even given a position of two thousand stones for several generals.
This meaning is very clear. You have no future with Huo Hai. You should find another big tree to get promoted and make money!
Moreover, Liu Hong did not consider transferring Huo Hai in a short period of time, because Huo Hai had already threatened to recover the lost land in Bingzhou and the fertile land of Hexi County, so the court should not do it for nothing, and it would not be too late to make plans after he took it back.
The Xiliang side is in a very strong contrast with the Bingzhou victory.
After several rounds of efforts, the court finally pulled out 20,000 to 30,000 people, but as soon as they arrived in Liangzhou, they were attacked by the rebels of Xiliang and lost more than 30%.
Zhang Wen was impeached by all the officials of the court. Zhang Rang, who accepted Dong Zhuo's bribe, suggested that Liu Hong replace Zhang Wen and appoint Dong Zhuo as the main general, and Liu Hong agreed.
After Fatty Dong took office, the situation in Xiliang exceeded expectations. Many rebels actually surrendered. All the Qiang tribes surrendered and sent a lot of cattle and sheep to Luoyang.
Liu Hong, who had benefited, was also generous and added Dong Zhuo the position of General Anxi and governor of Liangzhou. The power he gave was greater than that of Huo Hai in Bingzhou.
After all, after Zhang Yi made great contributions and returned to the court, Liu Hong appointed him as the Sili Captain and sent Zang Min as the governor of Bingzhou. In other words, Huo Hai had only military power in Bingzhou and no regime.
The prefects of each county were responsible for collecting taxes, and then, under the supervision of the governor, paid tribute to the court. Huo Hai needed military supplies and had to apply for allocation from the court.
Huo Hai naturally thought of this a long time ago, so he allocated all the recovered land to the soldiers, and as their private property, he also established military camps and military defense zones. These defense zones were not managed by the prefectures and counties, but were only managed by the defense zone lieutenant, and he also managed the defense zone lieutenant.
In the perception of those court officials, the defense areas that Huo Hai demarcated deep into the grassland were desolate places of war, and it was most suitable for those lieutenants to be stationed there. Naturally, they would not send officials there. However, they did not know that with the support of Heishanzhai's planting industry and the human support of the entire central Xianbei, let alone immediately become Jiangnan outside the border, they could at least be self-sufficient.
The land of Bingzhou was full of busy farming, and Huo Hai was not idle in his practice. In order to make the world's practice more clear, he conducted a long-term interrogation of the great Xianbei wizard Su Hela.
From him, Huo Hai knew that the biological system of this world was very different from the original world.
Like the world where he lives, it is a normal creature reproduction, and there are abnormal creatures reproduction in this world, so there are particularly powerful insects and various witchcrafts to control these insects.
These things are also unexplained by science in later generations, but they are so real. If Huo Hai had not read many online novels, fantasy dramas and TV series in later generations, he would have been unable to accept these things for the time being.
He did not dare to ignore any power that existed in this world. Huo Hai also specially opened a research branch for this witchcraft and gave considerable investment. What he wanted was that when he met a monk who could use similar means in the future war, he would be able to deal with it.
"Old Zuo, I have summarized that the main ability of witchcraft is to graft and amplify the characteristics of organisms. So, do you think there are monks in this world who can graft the characteristics of plants?"
"Yes, Xu family in Shu? They are the direct descendants of the farmer family. The farmer used to specialize in planting."
"Then can they produce crops with higher yields than elsewhere?"
"It should be possible that the millet and bean crops in Shu have always been higher than those in other places, but the high is very limited. As the foundation of the people, farmers have always been valued by the emperors, but they have always been unable to develop. It seems that they are restricted by some laws of heaven." Zuo Ci replied.
"As far as I have mastered it, the way of heaven can only limit the original products of this world, but not the products I brought from the sky. You contact the Xu family for me and bring a few new crops from our Heishan Village. I hope I can talk to them."
"What are you talking about?"
"Improved the growth of crops! For example, the good crops grown in Heishanzhai are not so good on the grasslands outside the border and in Hexi, because the spring time of the two places is different, the temperature is different, the crops have different cold resistance and different yields.
Also, I think if the Xu family can graft the characteristics of a variety of plants, they should be able to solve the problem of so many of us eating."
"No, if you examine Su Hela, why did you think about contacting the Xu family and improving crops?" Zuo Ci said with surprise.
"The way is simple, and the path is the same. I feel that any ability system has its commonality. Perhaps, if we find this commonality, we can reverse the other systems and find their flaws."
"The way is simple, and the different paths are the same." Zuo Cida thought about this sentence meaningfully, not understanding the harshness.
Then, he said, "I think I should go to Tong Yuan and ask him how he broke through Qi Jin. Maybe I can break through to the next level. By the way, according to what you said, my next level should be Qi Refining Realm."
