Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 307
After coming out of the treasury, all the soldiers assembled one after another. When Lu Bu and Chu Nan arrived at the school grounds, the soldiers of the three armies had already assembled.

Lü Bu strode up to the general's platform, surrounded by fighting auras, Lv Bulang said: "This time our army has rushed thousands of miles to kill Cao Cao and destroy Xuchang, all thanks to the efforts of all the soldiers. Now that Xuchang has been defeated, the national traitor Cao Cao has been put to death. , should reward all the soldiers!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan, who stepped forward, took the first volume of meritorious service handed over by Zhou Cang, and began to chant aloud:
Among the generals, Huang Zhong shot and killed Xiahou Dun, and he also made great efforts in the fight against Cao Cao. He was promoted to Zhonglang General, and was rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, ten boxes of jewels, and a thousand pieces of silk and satin.

Zhang Liao took all the land in Peijun, defeated Cao Ren's army, and bought enough time for Lv Bu to capture Xuchang.

Gao Shun captured Ren Chengguo, defeated Cao's army, restrained the main force of Cao's army, bought enough time for Lu Bu to capture Xuchang, was promoted to General Zhonglang, sealed as Marquis of Guannei, rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, ten boxes of jewels, and a thousand pieces of silk and satin.

Wei Yan followed Chu Nan in this battle, fought against Cai Yang, captured Runan, defeated Cao Jun several times, and even defeated Cao Cao's head, promoted to General Yamen, rewarded [-] gold, [-] boxes of jewels, and [-] pieces of silk and satin

Ji Ling followed Gao Shun in this battle, defeated Cao's army several times, made great achievements in battle, was promoted to partial general, and was rewarded with [-] gold, [-] boxes of jewelry, and [-] pieces of silk and satin
Song Xian, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Wei Yue, and Cheng Lian defeated Cao's army several times. They achieved considerable military exploits and were promoted to partial generals, rewarded with hundreds of gold and hundreds of silks and satins
In addition, there are some meritorious generals such as Wu Shuang, who were promoted to school lieutenants and received several rewards.

In addition to giving to these expeditionary soldiers, Chen Gong, as the logistics controller, had no military exploits, but he kept the Xuzhou army's logistics going. Lu Bu specially appointed a military adviser, Zhonglang, as Chen Gong's official position, with a rank of two thousand shi.

The rewards did not end until the afternoon. The Xuzhou Army and the Jianghuai Army who participated in the battle had many rewards. After the rewards were over, the soldiers did not expect that even they would have a lot of rewards. For a while, the three armies cheered and their morale was so high. At an unprecedented height, even Lu Bu, who was used to seeing big scenes, was a little surprised at the intensity of the fighting spirit at this moment. If he led this army to fight at this time, Cao Cao's army might be suppressed by Lu Bu in turn.

In addition to the generals on Lu Bu's side, Zhang Xiu, as an ally, sent troops to help at the same time, and contributed a lot, especially for beheading Cao Cao. Only the title of Marquis of Guannei and a large amount of property were confiscated, but Chu Nan, the prefect of Nanyang, was not given out, but was to be determined.

Because Jia Xu refused to take the credit of Cao Cao, so he just mixed some financial rewards, and his official status was not promoted. This is also the reason why Zhang Xiu did not get promoted. Regardless of Cao Cao's merits, Zhang Xiu's credit this time is really not enough promotion.

However, Zhang Xiu was already very satisfied with these things, and Chu Nan still made the decision at the bottom, and gave Zhang Xiu some of Cao Cao's young concubines, which was considered a shame for Zhang Xiu.

After the award was over, Lu Bu asked the generals of each army to lead the soldiers back to the camp, and then called them together.

"The battle between Wenyuan and Boping is not over yet." Lu Bu looked at the people in his tent. Except for Chu Nan, only the senior generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Song Xian, Cao Xing, and Wei Yue were left here. Discussing the matter, looking at the crowd, said: "How do you guys think we should fight next?"

Chu Nan reminded: "In addition, before the attack on Xuchang, I have received a letter from Jianghuai. Jiangdong sent troops again to plot our land in Jianghuai, but at that time our army was going to attack Xuchang and could not divide the troops. The soldiers are distracted, now that Xuchang is going down, the Jianghuai direction should also be divided into rescue."

The faces of Huang Zhong and the others changed slightly. They followed Chu Nan all the way down and participated in the governance of the Jianghuai counties.

Although it was said that they were almost busy and didn't stop much, but they also watched Jianghuai gradually gain a new look in their hands, and now they heard that Jianghuai was in trouble, so they were naturally anxious.

"The final general is willing to lead the troops to rescue immediately." Huang Zhong and Wei Yan stood up at the same time, and clasped their fists at Lu Bu.

Both sides needed reinforcements, and Lu Bu didn't know how to allocate them for a while, so he frowned and looked at Chu Nan: "Ziyan, what do you think?"

"Sun Quan is based in Jiangdong, and he wants to use this battle to gain fame and power. With Zhou Yu's assistance, he is more threatening, so my son-in-law suggested that General Huang lead [-] elite troops to help Jianghuai!" Chu Nan said after thinking for a while.

"Ziyan, the remnants of Cao's army should not be underestimated. In addition to Xiahouyuan and Caoren, there are also Luqian, Xiahoushang, Cao Xiu and others stationed in the four directions. According to the current self-surrendered army, there are more than [-] Cao troops outside. Why is he not as good as that Jiangdong boy?" Song Xian asked with a frown.

"Although there are many Cao troops, Cao Cao is dead and Xuchang has fallen. Except for Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Xiu and other generals of the Cao family, the rest of the generals only need an edict from the emperor to surrender." Chu Nan nodded and laughed. "As long as the Son of Heaven is in hand, it's not difficult to disintegrate these generals. Yesterday I recruited Xu Huang. If he comes forward, at least generals like Lu Qian can be recruited."

"In this way, the only ones we have to deal with are the generals of the Cao clan. Our army can send out an elite army to cooperate with the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to completely eradicate these remnants of the Cao clan."

"Ziyan, since these people have become scattered soldiers, do you think they will run out of food, and our army can win without fighting?" Song Xian suddenly thought, these people have no foundation, what else can they use to fight?
"No, the local clans won't let them run out of food, especially at this time." Chu Nan shook his head: "So these Cao clans are the ones we must fight, otherwise these people will die after a long time. It is even more difficult to clean up if it turns into local thieves."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay, according to Chu Nan's wishes, General Huang led his troops to Jianghuai to support, as for the Central Plains..."

"Wen Chang can lead [-] elite soldiers, and cooperate with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to defeat the remnants of Cao's army." Chu Nan pointed to Peijun, looked at Wei Yandao.

"Is five thousand troops less?" Cao Xing asked worriedly.

"Quite a few. Chief Wen's task is to support and assist in the attack. The main forces are the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun." Chu Nan shook his head: "In Xuchang, our army must have at least 5000 troops, otherwise it will be inevitable. Some people covet it." Chu Nan shook his head, [-] people is already the limit that can be given.

"But in this case, how should the generals like Lu Qian deal with them? If there is no large army to deter them, it may be difficult to say surrender!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Don't forget, general, we still have nearly [-] surrendered troops available." Chu Nan said with a smile, "As for deterrence, there is no need for it. I plan to lead [-] surrendered troops, and then I will take General Xu Huang to lobby the various ministries that are not Cao's." The clan and generals belong to the imperial court."

It is surrender, not surrender, which also counts as giving these generals some dignity.

"The other [-] will be dispatched in full, and we cannot live in Xuchang for a long time." Chu Nan looked at the other generals and said, "General Song, Cao Xing, and General Wei Yue."

"This... [-] troops?" Song Xian looked at Chu Nan in astonishment. Although they were surrendered troops, the number was too large. Although he was a confidant of Lu Bu, Song Xian had never commanded tens of thousands of troops. Unavoidably a little cautious: "I don't know what Ziyan wants me to do?"

"Win the hearts and minds of the people!" Chu Nan looked at the bewildered eyes of the three, and explained: "What we did in Xuzhou, we can do here, and what I can do in Runan, I can do here? "

"This is the land of two prefectures, and Yingchuan is a big county, where there are many gentry, Ziyan, you can think clearly!?" Song Xian was shocked when he heard this.

In the past, the butchers in Xuzhou had no choice but to kill them, but now, there is no need to do so. Didn’t you see that many gentry secretly started to contact Lu Bu?This is obviously a signal that the gentry are softening.

"What we want is to rebuild the world. The gentry can use it, but they haven't recognized themselves yet." Chu Nan shook his head. He received many invitations from the gentry yesterday, but he rejected them.

"How do you recognize yourself?" Song Xian was puzzled.

Chu Nan looked at Song Xian, then at Lv Bu, and said with a smile, "I know that my father-in-law and the generals have been wooed by this gentry to some extent, but if you think about it carefully, how did they woo them? Invite me to attend the meeting with the gentry." A banquet where we are out of place? Apart from showing off their knowledge and etiquette, and setting us off like monkeys, is there anything else?"

When everyone heard the words and thought about it carefully, it was really as Chu Nan said.

"Isn't that the case?" Song Xian was puzzled.

"It's their home field. We rarely participate, but they are used to it. No matter how much I cater to their rules, in their eyes, we are still full of ugly appearances. At that time, we may be respectful on the surface, but I am afraid there will only be a smile in our hearts. Well, if you guys can't imagine it, you can also think about what it would be like for a group of tall and thick men to imitate the dancer and dance the soft dance of the dancer?"

Everyone: "..."

The picture is a bit beautiful, don't dare to think about it.

"In their eyes, we are not much different from this group of men in our eyes!" Chu Nan looked at the faces of the people who were gradually sinking and said indifferently: "I have no objection to using the nobles, and I will definitely use them in the future, but I don't like them. Considering himself noble, he condescendingly gave us an olive branch like alms."

Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and said, "Father-in-law, they will only have two attitudes towards those of us who are not born. One is to be as high as they are now, and the consequences will be Dong Zhuo back then, and the other is to lower their noble heads. , To obtain our approval by begging, they will not accept dialogue with us on an equal footing."

Lu Bu straightened his back, and said calmly, "Since you don't want to treat each other as equals, then you can kneel and talk. According to Zi Yan's words, use the [-] surrendered troops to flatten the gentry in the Central Plains!"

"Here!" All the generals had no objection this time, each of them got up and responded as if their eyes were bursting with flames.
