Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 652 Reward

"Great victory in Huainan? Great victory in Longyou?" Li Yue looked at the victory report in disbelief.

During Huan Wen's Northern Expedition, he fell into a ditch again and was defeated by Deng Xia's 7,000 troops. He suffered over 10,000 casualties, captured more than 5,000 people, seized 170,000 stones of grain and grass, piled up mountains of military equipment, and more than 3,000 livestock of all kinds...

If Huan Wen hadn't set a fire when he retreated, more would have been captured.

The older Huan Wen got, the more his level declined. Even if the "150,000 troops" did not capture Hefei, Deng Xia saw the opportunity and stabbed him...

I don’t know how he met “Elder Jiangdong” after he returned.

However, Huan Wen is good at internal fighting. The first two Northern Expeditions failed. With such a huge loss, is he still just like a normal person?

This defeat only resulted in the loss of some food, grass and baggage, but the main force was still preserved.

The Jiangdong nobles should not act rashly.

To the west, Wang Meng achieved immediate results as soon as he went up. He used the power of Guanyou to easily break through Wubao. Murong Chui drove straight in and wiped out Yao Chang. The entire northern country was Liang Tu.

More than 70,000 Qiang households surrendered and were moved to Guanzhong by Wang Meng, where they became children and cultivated the land.

Later, Wang Meng ordered Wei Shan to lead 10,000 black cloud elites, carrying swords from house to house, and politely invited the powerful people of Longyou to migrate.

Large families moved into Luoyang, while some small families continued to stay there.

Generally speaking, everyone is still in harmony. After all, Wang Meng's reputation for purging Guanzhong and suppressing the powerful is still there.

These two battles also heralded the peak of Liang's military power.

Murong Chui's victory was extremely valuable.

Deng Xia also defeated Huan Wen this time and became a star of the Liang Kingdom, alongside Murong Chui, Fu Ya, Xu Cheng, and Gao Yun.

Chang Wei beamed with joy and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, for achieving such results without spending much money on food from the government treasury, the Northern Kingdom has been unified. The only one who is not willing to surrender in the world is Jiangdonger!"

"Congratulations!" Even though Li Yue had cultivated himself for so many years, he still felt excited in his heart.

After nearly seventeen years of conquest, the north was finally pacified.

"When Daliang unified the Northern Kingdom, it's time to change the Yuan Dynasty to suit the sky." Cui Hong cupped his hands and said.

"Not only does the Yuan Yuan need to be changed, but the title also needs to be mentioned."

So many people have made great contributions, and it’s time to reward them.

There were eight founding princes in the Western Jin Dynasty, and now that they have unified the Northern Kingdom, the county princes will definitely be granted the title.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around them became eager. The Duke was not only rich and honorable, but also an honor, and it was Daliang's recognition of them.

Li Yue took out a pen and paper and started writing while thinking.

There is no doubt that Wang Meng ranked first in meritorious service and was granted the title of Duke of Qinghe County.

Secondly, Chang Wei, who sat in the rear, transported grain, grass and weapons to the front line, and organized the people. Without him, the war would not have been fought at all, and he was granted the title of Duke of Julu County.

In fact, Zhou Qian's credit was not inferior to that of Wang Meng and Chang Wei. Without him, who had been cultivating and cultivating for more than ten years, many people would have starved to death and been granted the title of Duke of Fufeng.

There is also Cui Jin, who is a bit inferior compared to Wang Meng and Murong Ke. Although he is not outstanding in all aspects, he is better because of his stability. Wherever he sits, he is as stable as Mount Tai, and he is granted the title of Beihai County Duke.

These four people had no objections to the title of Duke of Kaiguo.

Further down are Wei Shan, Xue Qiang, Xu Cheng, Gao Yun, Murong Chui, Deng Xia, Liang Xiao and Lu Bozao, all of whom were granted the title of Kaiguo County Duke.

Then came Qin Biao, Mi Jin, Zhang Hao, Cao Kan, Lu Guang, Liu Laozhi, etc., all of whom were granted the title of prefecture and lord of Kaiguo.

Cui Hong, Liu Ying, Lu Qing, Li Du, Duan Zhu, Su Quan, Zhu Fu, Zhuge Kan and others were granted the title of county marquis of Kaiguo.

The title of Liang Guo was slightly improved on the basis of the fifth-class titles of Wei and Jin.

Prince, king, duke, duke, county duke, county lord, county lord, marquis, uncle, son, male, Xiangtinghou, Guanneihou.

Except for the prince, everyone else has a false title.

The first rank is the Duke of the State, the Duke of the County, and the Duke of the County. The second rank is the County Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Men, the fourth rank is the Township Marquis, the fifth rank is the Pavilion Marquis, the sixth rank is the name of the Marquis within the customs, and the seventh rank is the Marquis outside the Guan.

For other meritorious people, their quotas will be determined by the Shangshutai, reviewed by the Yushitai, and finally handed over to Li Yue to stamp with a jade seal. The world has not yet been unified, so naturally it cannot be sealed to the top.

Li Yue didn't care much about the era name, and just let the Chancellor discuss it.

No matter how resounding the reign name is, it is of no use. The key depends on how well the country is governed. The Western Jin Dynasty chose the nice-sounding Yongjia, but it ushered in the darkest era in Chinese history...

The title of nobility was determined, and officials and generals were promoted.

The foundation of Guandong is solid, and the powerful people are obedient, so there is no big problem.

Of the ten rooms in Guanzhong, nine are empty, so there isn't much of a problem.

The problem is the two states of Qin and Liang, where various tribes are entrenched, there are many powerful people, and the Buddhist sect is still too big to lose.

Many prefects, county magistrates, and generals were powerful local nobles.

Another big problem is Fu Ya. He has 30,000 Di troops under his command and dominates Liangzhou. He is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

If not handled properly, there will be hidden dangers in the place.

Now that Daliang is at its peak, they naturally do not dare to act rashly, but once there is a shock in Guandong, instability in the DPRK, or natural or man-made disasters, various contradictions will surface again.

Since the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Guanyou area has never been stable.

"Tiao Murong Chui was appointed governor of Liangzhou, Fu Ya was appointed governor of Bingzhou, Xue Qiang was appointed governor of Qinzhou, Liangzhou was changed to Hanzhou, and Gao Yun was appointed governor of Hanzhou."

Murong's family was based in Liaodong, and Li Yue transferred Murong Chui to Liangzhou.

Xue Qiang was based in Hedong, and Li Yue moved to Longyou.

Fu Ya was based in Wudu, Lueyang, and Li Yue went to Bingzhou.

It’s not that we don’t trust them, but that we avoid forming local forces.

This generation will naturally not betray Daliang, but no one can say for sure what will happen to the next two generations.

"Your Majesty must not neglect the 30,000 Di troops in Liangzhou." Chang Wei reminded.

Sometimes the people above are unwilling to rebel, but the people below will push them forward.

Most of Fu Ya's 30,000 troops were the elite of the Di Qin Dynasty. They followed Fu Ya in the south and north, and defeated Qiu Chi and Liangzhou, so they had quite strong combat effectiveness.

Cui Hong rolled his eyes and had an idea, "This is easy. The Di people are friendly to China and are good at farming. They can be promoted to the Black Cloud Army, and then they can gradually seal their fields in Yezhong, Yanzhou, and Jianghuai to divide them. Wait for them to adapt to the situation, then eliminate the old and weak, and then the Di people will blend into China silently."

"Yes!" Li Yue definitely does not allow an army with ethnic consciousness to exist.

The only thing that can divide them is profit.

Murong Chui's eight thousand black cloud army is present in Liangzhou, which should be able to calm the situation.

Murong Chui was decisive in killing and was the best person to deal with Liangzhou's powerful people.

"I suggest you take it slow and explore Fu Ya's intentions first. Acting rashly can easily lead to disaster. Liangzhou has already been included in the Great Liang, so why rush it?"

Chang Wei is more mature and mellow in his dealings.

Both Li Yue and Cui Hong were a little too hasty.

This is obviously an attempt to seize Fu Ya's power, which could lead to a military disaster.

Of course, with the current power of Liang State, it is not afraid of Liangzhou, but internal problems are best solved without a knife.

"Then let's give Fu Yatong some air first and find out his feelings." One of Li Yue's strengths is listening to others' advice.

Otherwise, how can one person's energy and intelligence be able to govern such a large country?
