The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102 On the Rewards for Deeds
The envoy went to the hall and ordered: "Your Majesty is here."

"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty!" The powerful minister saluted.

"Exemption, flat body." Lingdi came to sit, glanced at him, and said indifferently.

Everyone stood up, and the Emperor Ling said again: "The Yellow Turban is a traitor and goes against the sky. Fortunately, you have all conquered and helped me. It is really a blessing. This is the blessing of the world, and the blessing of the common people."

"This time the Yellow Turban has been wiped out, and the world has returned to peace. Since there are heroes who have made great contributions, they must be rewarded. Lu Zhi and other four Zhonglang generals have made outstanding contributions, and the rest of the generals have also made contributions. Today, we will reward them based on their merits. Your Excellencies." Lingdi's voice was not very loud, but it was extremely clear.

Immediately afterwards, an eunuch beside Emperor Ling... um, eunuch, took out an edict and read it aloud.The father-in-law's voice was very high-pitched, and his voice was a little strange, but everyone listened very carefully.

"General Huangfusong, Zuo Zhonglang, commanded the army, wiped out the Yellow Turban, gained a lot, moved to General Zuo, led Jizhou Shepherd, and bestowed the title of Marquis of Guannei."

"You Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, started from Yuzhou, led troops to attack Bocai, and went north to Jizhou to challenge Zhangjiao. The merit is not small, he was moved to the right general, appointed Guanglu doctor, and conferred the title of Marquis of Guannei."

"Dong Zhonglang general Lu Zhi fought against Jizhou and prevented the enemy from expanding. He fled and flattened the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban. He had both skills and skills. He was moved to the rear general, served as Shangshu, and bestowed the title of Marquis of Guannei."

……

"Cao Cao, the captain of the cavalry, crusaded against the Yellow Turban bandits, and led his troops to rescue Yuzhou. He captured [-] enemy troops. He made even greater contributions in fighting rebellion in Nanyang, and moved him to be the prefect of Wei County."

"Yuan Shao's rebellion against rebellion has been commendable, and he was enlisted as Yilang."

"Yuan Shu has a commendable heart since he rebelled against the army, and he was enlisted as Yilang."

"Sun Jian, at his own expense, launched an army to fight against rebellion, and made great contributions. He can be the prefect of Changsha."

"Liu Bei, a family member of the Han Dynasty, helped the rebels sweep the bandits, made great contributions to the country, and can be the prefect of Xiapi."

……

"Huang Zhong, the county captain of the champion, followed the army to fight against the bandits. He beheaded Zhang Liang and Zhang Mancheng, the first bandits. He led the infantry to kill the Yellow Turban bandits. He made countless achievements. He was promoted to General Zuo Zhonglang."

"Chen Li, in command of the Killing God Army, has made many achievements, and is specially appointed as the commander of the Killing God Army, leading the Killing God Army."

"The strength of a battalion of the killing gods, beheading countless yellow scarves, and making great contributions in the rebellion. Special gift of a hundred altars of fine wine, imperial books to kill the gods. You should move forward even more and protect the great Han country."

……

The imperial decree was very long, and it took a long time to finish reading it, but everyone found a problem.That is, Chen Ran did not appear in it, and Lu Zhi and the others looked astonished, and were about to come out to ask questions.

The father-in-law pulled out another imperial decree from nowhere.The corner of his eyes fluttered, and he continued to read: "The emperor's will. Huben Zhonglang, Chen Ran, led the army to kill the gods, and he made the most contribution in the rebellion."

"Leading troops in Yingchuan and Nanyang, sweeping away the Yellow Turbans, beheading Bocai, Zhang Liang, Zhang Mancheng and other bandit leaders. The meritorious service is great, and only then did the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Go north to Jizhou, kill Guan Hai and Zhang Bao, and even lead the army of gods, officers and soldiers to defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, and wipe out the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans. The credit is outstanding."

"I think he is young and has the prestige of a former champion. I am very happy, so I bestow the word Ziling. In the future, I will live up to my trust and achieve extraordinary things."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, obviously they were very surprised by the imperial decree given to Chen Ran by Lingdi alone.This is just the beginning.

The father-in-law didn't stop, but at this moment, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, obviously also surprised by the content.He continued to read: "His meritorious service is outstanding, and he must be rewarded. He was specially promoted to be the general of the left chariot, and he was given the title of the champion.

"A thousand catties of gold will be rewarded, and ten court ladies will be rewarded. You can come and go freely in the palace with talismans, and the imperial court has the right to command troops."

This imperial decree was only aimed at Chen Ran alone, so it was not as long as before.But precisely because of this, there was already an uproar.

The rewards above are simply too generous.

The general of chariots and cavalry ranks among the great generals, under the generals of hussars, and above the generals of Wei.Even if you don't hold military power on weekdays, it's an extremely high honor.Although he is slightly inferior to General He Jin, he is many ranks higher than General Zhonglang.

In addition to the chariot general, the champion Hou is also eye-catching.At this time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two kinds of titles, one was the Marquis of Guannei, which had only his title, but no fiefdom.Next is Liehou, who has fiefs and can be hereditary.

Among the Liehou, there are Tinghou, such as Guan Yu's Hanshou Tinghou.Above the Tinghou is the Countyhou.For example, Zhuge Liang's Marquis of Wuxiang, Wuxiang is a county.

And Chen Ran's Champion Marquis, who enfeoffed Moling, was undoubtedly the County Marquis.You must know that the three of Lu Zhi were just bestowed on the Marquis of Guannei.Chen Ran's title was much higher.

Chen Ran looked astonished. In his memory, both Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were enshrined as marquises.But at this moment, only the Marquis of Guannei is left.Could it be that too much credit has been robbed by him?Chen Ran could only smile wryly.

And Lingdi still let Chen Ran control the Killing God Army.The prestige of the killing god army in the Yellow Turban Rebellion has already spread to the ears of dignitaries at all levels.Chen Ran's control of this army represents the importance of Chen Ran's status.It is more effective than ordinary official titles.

The subsequent free entry and exit of the palace with the talisman, as well as the imperial court's military service, are all expressions of extreme grace.These privileges are not easy even for Lu Zhi and the others.

After the father-in-law finished reading the imperial decree, there was a sentence of praise immediately after.Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, even though the turmoil in their hearts was far from subsided, they still saluted Emperor Ling at this moment: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness."

Emperor Ling glanced at Chen Ran, but there was some playfulness under that calm expression.When he asked Zhang Rang yesterday, Zhang Rang said General Zuo.Hehe, he didn't say that he must follow Zhang Rang's ideas. In his opinion, how could this little General Zuo be worthy of Chen Ran's contribution?

Even this chariot general is not enough in Lingdi's opinion.But he knew that if he went too far, someone might have to make trouble.In history, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were named Generals of Chariots and Cavalry.At this moment, Chen Ran's contribution is even greater than that.

Emperor Ling waved his hand slightly, and everyone stood up.The atmosphere was a little weird at the moment, and everyone seemed quiet.

Chen Ran even lowered his head slightly, he felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile now.But although he was a little surprised, he was more pleased.It is not in vain to expend a lot of effort and make contributions.

With the existence of these titles, Chen Ran's starting point was raised instantly.Even if it really enters the troubled times in the future, Chen Ran will still have a place.However, it is a pity for Chen Ran that he doesn't seem to be sent out.Although it is good to stay in Luoyang, there is no way to develop one's own strength.

Emperor Ling swept his eyes calmly, and said: "The rewards are over, let's leave the court today! Retire." Emperor Ling got up and left with the support of the palace servants.

But what was left was an uproar.

Almost the moment Emperor Ling got up to leave, Chen Ran noticed several unusually sharp eyes staring at him.

PS, this chapter looks watery, and it is really tiring to write. It took me two hours to write.
