Chapter 31 Top War Horse
"Liu Yao was named General Zhenbei of Dahan, and he had the right to open the government. Huang Zhong was named General Fenwei, Zhang Fei was appointed as General of the rebellion, Taishici was appointed as General of the attack on the enemy, Gao Shun was appointed as General of the destruction, Tian Chou was appointed as General of the border, and taxes for Youzhou for ten years were exempted." Liu Hong said loudly.
"Thank you Your Majesty." Gao Shun was full of excitement, not just for his position as a general. What's more important is the ten-year duty-free period for Youzhou. Under the conditions again, Youzhou will definitely develop more rapidly.
He Jin and Yuan Feng, who were standing below, saw that the facts had been settled and were unable to turn things around, so they did not dare to say anything.
"If there is nothing to do, then retreat to the court." Liu Hong said. Seeing that no one was saying anything, he walked straight towards the bedroom alone. Even Zhang Rang did not let him follow him.
Liu Hong returned to the bedroom alone and carefully removed a small cloth roll from his sleeve. This cloth roll was exactly what Liu Yao asked Gao Shun to find a way to hand it over to Liu Hong. Liu Hong opened it and found that there was only one big character on it, occupying the entire cloth roll.
"Crane!!!" A big word "Crane" came into Liu Hong's eyes, "Crane, since you want to be confused, then I will make the man upside down according to your wishes." Liu Hong said firmly. Then he placed the cloth roll on the candlelight and burned it completely, leaving no traces left.
Cai Yong, Luoyang’s Cai Yong just heard Liu Yao’s deeds in the morning court and was already smiling from ear to ear. What’s there to be dissatisfied with being able to get such a disciple and future son-in-law who is both civil and military, let alone Liu Yao is a person with great ambitions, and it is possible to become the emperor in the future. Then his daughter Cai Yan may be the queen. Cai Yong is now increasingly admiring his vision.
Just as Cai Yong stepped into the house, he saw a thin figure walking back and forth at the door, looking anxious. "Yan'er, why are you here?"
"Dad." Cai Yan shouted with joy when he saw Cai Yong. The anxiety on his face completely dissipated, and he grabbed Cai Yong. "Dad, has Brother Yao won the battle? Have he come to Luoyang?"
Cai Yong didn't know what his daughter was thinking. "No, Yao'er is very busy now, how could he have time to go back to Luoyang? This time he just patted one of his men to meet His Majesty."
"Oh..." Cai Yan couldn't help feeling lost when she heard this.
"Haha." Cai Yong couldn't help but rush to the point of seeing his daughter's appearance. "Although others have not come back, they have a letter." Cai Yong took out a letter from somewhere. This letter was written by Liu Yao and handed it to Gao Shun, asking him to hand it to Cai Yan. When he was in court just now, Gao Shun came to Cai Yong and asked Cai Yong to pass it on.
"Ah!!" Cai Yan felt as if he had eaten honey when he heard this. He quickly grabbed the letter and ran back to the room and looked at it secretly.
Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan's appearance and narrowed his eyes squinted. He then followed his beard and muttered to himself, "Well, if the two loves last for a long time, how can they stay day and night? What a poem, what a poem. I didn't expect Yao'er to write such a wonderful poem."
It is obvious that Cai Yong had already peeked at the letter Liu Yao wrote to Cai Yan on the way back. If Liu Yao knew, I wonder if he would teach this old man a lesson.
Time flies, and in a flash, two months passed. This day was the last day of 181 AD.
After more than a month's trip, Gao Shun finally returned to Youzhou with Liu Hong's edict. Huang Zhong and others, who had each obtained the title of general, were all unable to stop, even though this was just a sixth-rank general with a miscellaneous number.
At this time, Youzhou had officially entered a period of development. On this day, all the ransoms of the Wuwan people had been sent, and the four generals of Wuwan were also politely sent back by Liu Yaoke. However, the four of them were already skinny and bone-bone-skinned, and they were almost dead.
Among the ransoms sent by Wuwan, Liu Yao's most eye-catching were the five yellow, two black, one red and one snow-white war horses. At this time, Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci had already started to argue with each other over the issue of the belonging of the war horses.
"I will choose first. I have caught three of the four Wuhuan prisoners. I will naturally choose the ransom they exchanged." Zhang Fei pushed and roared at Taishici beside him.
"Nonsense, this time I broke into Wuwan's interior, killed so many of them, and obtained so many horses, cattle and sheep. My contribution is the greatest. If you want to choose, I will choose first." Taishici shouted dissatisfiedly.
Liu Yao couldn't help laughing and crying when he looked at the two people with a childish temper, but it was no wonder. After all, what the generals care about the most are weapons and war horses. Now the good weapons have not yet been found, but the top war horses are right in front of him. Neither of them wants to miss this opportunity.
"Okay, you two calm down. Look at how calm Han Sheng is, how like you two." Liu Yao said to Huang Zhong, who was not moving at all.
When the two of them heard this, they immediately became quiet, but at the same time they looked at Huang Zhong with a strange look. Liu Yao looked in their direction, but found that Huang Zhong was emitting light and staring at the red horse.
"Uh." Liu Yao suddenly had the idea of slapping himself in the face and asked in a low voice, "Hansheng, do you like that one?"
"Ah. Lord." Huang Zhong, who was interrupted, found that everyone was looking at him with a strange look, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Huang Zhong was not polite and said directly, "Cough cough, Lord, when I saw that horse, I fell in love with it, and I would like to ask my lord for reward."
Liu Yao turned around and looked at Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci, "Do you two have any opinions?"
"I don't like red ones, I like that pure black one." Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci pointed to the two black horses carved from the same mold at the same time. Then, a colleague of the two looked at each other in surprise and said in unison, "You like that one too!!!"
The two of them suddenly became depressed. If they had known this, why would they have fought for me?
Liu Yao couldn't help laughing at the foreigners. "Okay, I'll give those two dark horses to you. As for the red one, I'll give it to Han Sheng."
"Thank you, lord." The three of them thanked excitedly at the same time. Then they rushed towards their own horses at the same time, and rode on them with force with their feet. Then they ran wildly outside.
Liu couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the three people like children got a toy. Then he looked at Gao Shun again, "Pongxiao, don't you choose one?"
Gao Shun shook his head and said calmly, "No need, lord, I am good at infantry fighting. As for the fact that my martial arts are not outstanding, I should give it to future generals."
Liu Yao didn't care when he saw it. Gao Shun was such a person. He would speak without hesitation when he wanted it. If you didn't need it, he wouldn't want it even if you forced it to him.
Seeing Zhang Fei and the other two running wildly, Liu Yao couldn't help but want to choose one. Liu Yao had a crush on the yellow war horse from the beginning, and it always looked so noble and very consistent with his identity. Liu Yao stepped forward and stroked the silk-like horse's back. The yellow horse also sniffed Liu Yao very kindly.
At this time, Huang Zhong and the other two had enough fun and ran back with their horses. "Lord, this is really a top-notch war horse." Zhang Fei shouted happily, his face full of excitement.
