The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 78 The Imperial Decree Arrives
I stayed in the forest of Lujiang County for a day.

Chen Ran is also funny, in the mountains and forests, it is very cool, but the problem is that there are mosquitoes!Mosquito bites, the feeling is naturally needless to say.

On the second day, Chen Ran, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others rushed back to Champion County with their soldiers and horses. After several days of this, the army returned to Champion County, not only did not lose a single soldier, but also brought back thousands of prisoners.

In the county office, Chen Ran discussed with Qin Jie and Cao Cao.

"Most of the yellow turban thieves in the south have been calmed down now. Even if there are still fish that slip through the net, it's hard to be successful. It's time for us to go north to Jizhou." Chen Ran said, this is an established policy, and he just mentioned it again.

Qin Jie nodded, and replied: "Exactly, but Qin still needs to appease the people of Nanyang, I'm afraid he can't go with the army, and he will trouble the two of you to hunt down the rebels."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is the responsibility, so the Qin prefect needn't be so polite."

Qin Jie replied: "Forget it, tens of thousands of soldiers were specially recruited in an emergency, and now they have formed an army. If the two are not equal, 2 soldiers can be transferred to make the army more sharp."

Cao Cao said happily: "Thank you so much." The soldiers under his command have gone through several battles, and it seems that they have lost nearly ten thousand at this moment.Unlike Chen Ran's Killing God Army, once it loses, it will immediately mobilize troops to replenish it. It would be great if another [-] soldiers could be allocated from Qin Jie's command to replenish him.

"In that case, the Yellow Turban prisoners, as well as the corpses of Zhang Mancheng and Zhang Liang, have bothered Qin Taishou to send troops to escort them to Luoyang." Chen Ran added that they really didn't have the time to do this.

Qin Jie is naturally free at the moment. Although he has to deal with state and county affairs, it is not as good as Chen Ran and the others rushing to conquer and fight bloody battles.And even if Cao Cao is divided, Qin Jie still has [-] troops under his command.

These armies are the product of special circumstances, and after the war is over, they will naturally return to their original state.Escort the prisoners, let's regard it as the last mission of these temporary soldiers!

Qin Jie readily accepted it, and said: "Qin will take two of you to select soldiers." These soldiers are not part of the system, and the division of troops depends on the wishes of these soldiers.

They fought together before, which was regarded as a battle to defend Nanyang, but this time they were going to Jizhou, but they had to be more formal.It is necessary to select those elites who are willing to formally join the army.

All three of them knew it well, and immediately summoned soldiers and recruited soldiers.Now serving as a soldier is indeed a way to get ahead, so there are more than 4 troops, and 3 of them are willing.

Chen Ran selected [-] of the most elite soldiers among them. These people will definitely join the army in the future.For the time being, it belongs to Commander Cao Cao, while Chen Ran is mainly in command of the Killing God Army.

However, after all, Chen Ran has the position of Huben Zhonglang, which is higher than that of Cavalry Captain Cao Cao. The two discuss military affairs, and Chen Ran can also take the lead, which has no effect.

After the three of them selected soldiers, it was already evening.

In a hurry, a soldier came to report: "A message to General Zhonglang, an envoy has arrived."

The faces of Chen Ran and the three of them froze. The messenger they had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived at this moment.The three of them didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly greeted them.

The envoy was still an old acquaintance of Chen Ran, and said with a smile to Chen Ran: "General Chen Zhonglang is well, my lord ordered our family to say hello to you."

Chen Ran smiled and replied: "The envoy is polite!"

The envoy didn't say any more at the moment, and said solemnly: "Listen to the order." All the people present stood with their hands folded.

"Emperor's decree: Chen Ran will take the position of Huben Zhonglang, command the soldiers, crusade against rebels, put down the Nanyang rebellion, and wipe out the bandits. Champion County Lieutenant Huang Zhong, who is loyal and righteous by nature, performed outstandingly in the battle against rebellion. He was specially ordered to be the lieutenant of the army and commanded by Chen Ran. The rest of Cao Cao, Qin Jie, etc. have made meritorious service. Make a reward!"

"During the war against rebellion, the army of killing the gods has done a lot of meritorious service, so it should be rewarded. Five hundred altars of fine wine are specially given, and a hundred pieces of aged silk and satin are also rewarded. Be vigilant, make meritorious service to the country, defeat thieves and rebel against rebels. This is yours!"

This decree was mainly aimed at Chen Ran. Although it was biased, everyone had no opinion. Chen Ran's contribution in the battle was obvious to them.If it weren't for Chen Ran, whether they would be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief is another matter.

"Thank you for the decree, long live my emperor!" Everyone saluted, Chen Ran respectfully accepted the imperial decree, and the envoy smiled.

Cao Cao was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Chen Ran to become General Zhonglang so soon, and he was not jealous at the moment, he cupped his hands and said to him: "General Zhonglang, please support him a lot in the future!"

Chen Ran smiled and shook his head.But it was true, Chen Ran was already holding the knot, so Cao Cao was naturally his commander at the moment.At the same time, Chen Ran also has the power to act cheaply.

There is no need to bother Zhu Jun, Huang Fusong and the others. With the [-] troops, Chen Ran can directly organize them into the regular army. This can be considered as a solution to Chen Ran's urgent problem.

"Our family congratulates General Zhonglang, the future is sure to be great and limitless!" The messenger half-truthed half-hypothetically.

Chen Ran smiled lightly, and replied: "The envoy is polite, the envoy has come from a long way, please rest in the city."

The envoy did not refuse, it was getting late at this moment, and it would be dark soon, so it was obviously inappropriate to leave now.

The envoy glanced at Chen Ran, and said another sentence: "My lord always remembers General Zhonglang! General Zhonglang must not forget his kindness in the future!"

Chen Ran's expression changed immediately, and he said seriously: "Why did the messenger say such a thing, how can I, Chen Ran, be such a brazen person?" Of course, Chen Ran will not be ungrateful, it is for those who have been kind to him...

The envoy was satisfied with the answer, and he was very happy.

Chen Ran asked someone to arrange a place for the envoy, just like the last time, behind the envoy was a carriage with a lot of fine wine, as well as silk and satin rewarded to Chen Ran.

Silk and satin are not available for the time being, but this fine wine happens to be available.The army is about to go north, and after a month of hard work, if they don't drink up the wine at this time, when will they have to wait?
Ever since, Chen Ran didn't have any scruples about the messenger, and held a party overnight in the city.Although there are not many delicacies, it is already a great pleasure to be in the army accompanied by good wine.

Chen Ran also invited the envoy, but the envoy declined and went to rest alone.Chen Ran didn't force it, since the envoy didn't come, it didn't matter.

The army had a carnival all night, and all the elders drank fine wine and ate captured meat. It was rare to live such a chic life.

Such a happy day is indeed rare. In the army, there are many restrictions. If Nanyang Yellow Turban had not been wiped out today, how could they be so happy?
At this moment, Chen Ran didn't say much, let alone restraint. He had already said what should be said, and the rest came from progress in the battle. After going through so many battles, Chen Ran believed that these soldiers had already been reborn.

Tonight is the day of carnival.

Chen Ran, Cao Cao, Huang Zhong and others did not escape the common customs, they all drank happily with the army until the sky was as black as ink, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

PS, thanks to the book friend "Silent Volcano" for the reward.
