"I can promise you." Although he knew that forgiveness of Guo Si would probably cause endless troubles, in order to restore the safety of the emperor and all officials, Pei Qing had no choice but to do so. For him, the Xiliang Army was just a scabies, not to be afraid. The Xiliang Army has been severely damaged. I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover even if it is ten years. Not to mention ten years in the future, even three to five years, his strength will be enough to recover. At that time, how could it be difficult to pacify a small Xiliang Army?

"You promised me in front of all civil and military officials and the emperor. If you regret it later, you will definitely break your trust in the world." Guo Si confirmed loudly to Pei Qing. Seeing that the other party agreed, he immediately ordered the release of all officials and the emperor, resigned from his original position and official title, and asked the emperor for the position of Zhangye Prefect. At the same time, he summoned the Xiliang army and led his army to withdraw from Chang'an.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army had long been eager to return to their hometown, so this time Guo Si actually summoned 50,000 or 60,000 people to go back with him. However, some of the Xiliang Army soldiers did not leave, such as Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others. They were praised by the emperor as loyal because of their merits. Not only did they not have to worry about their lives, but they might also receive rewards.

In addition, Jia Xu did not leave. He followed Zhu Fu and surrendered to Pei Qing's tent. He was appointed as the captain of the Pan Military Academy by Pei Qing. This is an important position that has both military power and can participate in military decision-making. Pei Qing was able to treat him like this, which shows that Jia Xu was very satisfied with his favor. Of course, he would not leave Chang'an.

The other one who did not leave was Duan Wei. He is still stationed in Huayin, but he soon sent someone to express his intention to surrender to the emperor.

In fact, although Duan Wei belonged to the Xiliang army, he did not participate in the fight between them from beginning to end. He has been stationed in Huayin since the Dong Zhuo era. As long as he did not directly lead troops to invade, he would not be able to sleep or offend. Therefore, among these Xiliang generals, Duan Wei has always been a neutral existence. Because he did not participate, he actually did not gain much benefit in it, but it was precisely because of his lack of participation that Duan Wei was not implicated.

After Pei Qing came to Chang'an, he naturally wanted to appease the emperor and all officials, lead the army to send the emperor to the palace, order soldiers to guard the city, and issue orders that no soldiers are allowed to loot civilians. If there is any violation, they will be killed.

Because Pei Qing's prestige in Guanzhong was already very high, and he led his army to drive away the Xiliang army and killed the thief chief Li Jue, his prestige increased even more. In addition, his powerful military power gave the vast number of military and civilians a strong confidence, the situation quickly settled down.

After that, we naturally have to reward the heroes and also liquidate those rebels, so that we can live up to the significance of this battle.

The first person who posthumously gave merit was of course those who died for the king's affairs. Among these people, the most worthy of posthumously was the Grand Marshal Zhu Ye. In order to protect his moral character, the young emperor immediately ordered Zhu Ye to be appointed as the Grand Master and posthumously named Gang Hou. He was also buried with him. He also appointed Zhu Ye's eldest son Zhu Fu as the general of the army, and was granted Shangyuting Hou and Zhu Hao as the prefect of Yuzhang. However, unexpectedly, both Zhu Fu and Zhu Hao were surprisingly unanimously requesting to resign from their official positions in the name of Ding You.

It was not until later that the young emperor realized that the reason why these two brothers resigned from their official positions was because they wanted to serve under Pei Qing's command, which made the young emperor very surprised that the official positions granted by the emperor were not as attractive as those of Pei Qing's aides and generals.

In fact, how could the little emperor know? The reason why Zhu Fu was loyal to Pei Qing was mainly because his ability came from Pei Qing. In other words, if it were not for Pei Qing, there would be no Zhu Fu today. In addition, Pei Qing's current strength is vaguely the highest princes in the world. Even Liu Biao, who was in charge of Jingzhou and Yuan Shao, who owned the entire Jizhou, would be difficult to compare with, let alone Cao Cao, who had just won Yanzhou and Yuan Shu, who had just occupied a part of Yangzhou?

What's more, if these princes talk about political resources, which one can compare with Pei Qing? Since that's the case, why should I find someone else?

Of course, Zhu Fu and Zhu Hao wanted Ding You to return home, support his father's coffin to his hometown for burial, and to mourn his father for three years. However, before they left, they had already expressed their attitude to Pei Qing, and would definitely come back in three years and serve under Pei Qing's tent.

Among those still alive heroes, Pei Qing was of course the most meritorious, so Pei Qing was appointed as the Sili lieutenant, General of the Cavalry, and the three corpses of the founding official, and was also recorded in the Shangshu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wenxi County.

In this way, Pei Qing became the actual prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and was in charge of military and political affairs. He was also the leader of Yuzhou and the Sili School Command. The power was so great that Liu Bei and others were envious and jealous.

However, Pei Qing's power is only nominal, not much greater than Li Jue's power at the time, because his orders can only be effective within his own ruling scope, and those local powerful people will not take them seriously at all.

But no matter what, Pei Qing now has great political advantages. Because the emperor is young, he has transferred his power to himself, so he can naturally give priority to his own people in terms of hiring people.

So Pei Qing still asked Pei Mao to be the Minister of the Secretariat because Pei Mao had shown kindness to him many times and admitted that the genealogy he forged was based on his seniority. Not only that, even Pei Yuanshao was included in the genealogy, and he also belonged to Pei Qing's uncle according to his seniority.

In this case, Pei Qing certainly had to rely on his respected "uncle" and could not let others stay in such an important position.

As for the prince Tao Qian who participated in the battle, Pei Qing submitted a letter to General Zhengdong, the governor of Xuzhou, and the third rank of Kaifu Yitong; Liu Yu was appointed as Grand Marshal, and Liu He was appointed as General Huwuwan, and Xian Yufu was appointed as the captain of the cavalry, and ordered them to go back to assist Liu Yu.

Because Pei Qing knew that Liu Yu would soon lead his army to attack Gongsun Zan, but was later killed by Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao used this as an excuse to defeat Gongsun Zan, which led to the rapid demise of Gongsun Zan, and also allowed Yuan Shao to unify Qingji You and You and become the largest prince in the world. Now Pei Qing did this to delay Yuan Shao's unification, because as long as Liu Yu wins, Yuan Shao, who has a good relationship with Liu Yu, will not be able to attack Youzhou.

Moreover, Liu Yu had firmly refused Yuan Shao's approach to recommending him as the Emperor of Han, which shows that he was quite loyal to the Han Dynasty, so he was more at ease to support such a person.

Pei Qing had secretly tested Liu He's ability before and learned that his command power is 75 and his intelligence is 72. Moreover, after these days of fighting experience, Liu He's previous cowardly personality has faded a lot and has become bolder. With his current ability and personality, he is enough to deal with Gongsun Zan with an absolute advantage in military strength.

At the same time, Pei Qing also expressed that Kong Rong was the governor of Qingzhou, and the purpose was of course to check and balance Gongsun Zan. Anyway, Pingyuan Kingdom has been defeated by Yuan Shao, and the Beihai where Kong Rong is located has lost contact with Qingzhou. Pei Qing simply appointed Kong Rong as the governor of Qingzhou and became independent from Gongsun Zan.

Later, Pei Qing also reported that Liu Biao was the General of the Conquest of the South and Liu Qi was the General of the Conquest of the Power. Although Liu Qi was a little cowardly, he made contributions in this battle after all. After returning, he would definitely increase his prestige. He might not be able to change the fate of Jingzhou being taken away by Liu Cong in the future.

In addition, he also expressed Zhou Gan as the prefect of Yuzhang, Fu Qian as the prefect of Donglai, and also expressed Pei Yuanshao as the governor of Yuzhou, asking him to coordinate and supervise civil and military officials in Yuzhou and help him guard Yuzhou.

In fact, Pei Yuanshao's ability is not very outstanding. It is really easy for Pei Qing to find talents with stronger strength than Pei Yuanshao. However, after all, Pei Yuanshao is the person he trusts the most, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty and good ability. Therefore, Pei Yuanshao is temporarily appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, and Lu Su is appointed as Pei Yuanshao's military advisor and Sima to make up for Pei Yuanshao's intelligence shortcomings.

Of course, except for Pei Yuanshao, other civil and military officials also have rewards, basically they are in the Central Army General or the Miscellaneous General.

Pei Qing then reported that Zang Ba was the General Xingyi and the Prefect of Hongnong, and that he was explicitly trying to seek people from Tao Qian. Tao Qian was just appointed as the General of the East of the Conquest. He was happy and agreed without much thought. He personally held a banquet to show off to Zang Ba. By the time he regretted it, it was too late.

However, there is another person who has not received a reward. This person is Liu Bei, which makes Pei Qing very troubled, because he knows Liu Bei's ability. He keeps him in the court for fear that he will cause trouble, but if he lets him go, he will easily make an independent move. However, Pei Qing thought about it and knew that the current Han Dynasty was already full of princes, so it would be better to release Liu Bei to cause some trouble for other princes.
