three kings

Chapter 57
As soon as Liu Hong's words came out, His Highness chatted anxiously and secretly.Sun Can's contributions can be great or small. If counted by meritorious service, he would have been promoted two ranks at most.However, in terms of meaning, it is not just these.Huangfusong, Zhu Xie and others fought the war to suppress chaos.

But what Sun Can fought was to rescue the imperial city and defend the dignity of the great man.Although it's just a different way of saying it, it's actually a thousand miles away.

If there is no Sun Can, then the imperial city of Luoyang will be brought to the ground by soldiers, which will make the big man lose face.

So in the same battle, Sun Can's achievements along the way are definitely better than those of Huangfusong, Zhu Xie and others.

For a while, all the ministers in the hall could not make up their minds.

Seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but frowned slightly. He never liked to use his brains. All the decisions were made by the ministers after discussion before he approved them. Seeing that none of the ministers spoke, he asked Sun Can: "General Sun , What do you want me to reward you?"

Sun Can wondered, if there is such an emperor, a reasonable reward for meritorious deeds is the minimum ability of an emperor, how can you ask him this person?
Puzzled, puzzled, but he wasn't so stupid as to have a reason not to take advantage, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I want 20 yuan, a few good horses and a jar of good wine."

As soon as this remark came out, His Highness and His Highness burst out laughing.Sun Zhe's face turned pale with anger, and he almost fainted.Angrily reprimanded: "Zhuzi, don't be rude."

"Haha... I didn't expect that General Sun was a money addict and a drunkard at such a young age... Sure enough, people should not pretend, and the sea cannot be measured!" It was He Jin who was so ironic. He and Sun Can had a bad relationship. He will not let go of such a good opportunity to suppress Sun Can's arrogance.

Sun Can was a little puzzled when he was laughed at, and he was aggrieved when he was reprimanded by his father.He didn't think there was anything wrong with him. The generals had no good horses. There was nothing wrong with him asking for a few BMWs to give to those comrades who came with him into the water and went into the fire.Zhang Fei is fond of wine, and if he wanted to taste the fine wine in the palace, he would serve a jar for him, and he didn't think it was wrong.For the sake of victory, the sergeants threw their heads and blood, and it was only natural that they asked for 20 yuan to reward them.

Seeing everyone laughing so presumptuously, I couldn't help but get angry, thinking: "All the soldiers and I will swear to die for the big man, and bravely kill the thieves. Now I want some money for them and reward them, unexpectedly, laughing so unreasonably." Can't help it. He shouted loudly: "What I want is reasonable, what right do you have to laugh, what reason do you have to laugh."

The high-spirited voice echoed in the hall, and everyone was stunned, committing the crime of beheading, let alone committing the crime of the emperor.

Liu Hong, who was laughing loudly, was also a little confused. After he became the emperor, no one dared to be so presumptuous in the court. Even his mentor Sun Zhe chose to teach him in a place where there was no one. Come to sweep his dragon face in public.

With anger in his eyes, he said loudly, "Why are you being reasonable?"

Sun Can ignored the furious Liu Hong, and proudly said: "This time, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy's strength is five times that of our army. In order to defeat the enemy, our army did not care about personal safety, and fought two bloody battles with the enemy. In the field, the less conquers more. All the soldiers in the army are wounded. At this moment, only 20 soldiers have returned home. I want [-] yuan to reward all the soldiers. What is so ridiculous? Generals such as Gao Shun, Fan Wu, and Chun Yuqiong in the army Is it ridiculous to ask for some BMWs as rewards for the big men? There is a general in the army named Zhang Fei. He is extremely brave, and his martial arts are not inferior to the overlord. In the last battle, the enemy has There are [-] elites, but our army has only a few thousand. There is a huge disparity in strength, and our army is in a hard fight. If he hadn't beheaded Zhang Yun's head among the ten thousand troops and turned the tide of the battle, the outcome may be unpredictable.

One of his hobbies is drinking. Knowing that there are countless fine wines in the palace, he asked me to ask for a jar for him.Let me ask, Zhang Fei has made such a great contribution, why should it be ridiculous for me to ask for a jar of fine wine for him? "

Sun Can's three questions left all the officials in the palace speechless.The Great Han Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, so far, only Sun Can has asked for rewards for his soldiers in the court.

Liu Hong himself was also stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had a decision in his heart and asked, "My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty, General Sun Lang (the big man has a habit. When addressing officials, they can be called by their surnames, such as Liu Bei's 'Liu Yuzhou', Cao Cao's Cao Duwei, etc. And Sun Canguan worships Huben Zhonglang General, so he can be called Sun Lang General) for the country and the people, loyal to the great man. Asking for rewards for the army today is more like a national scholar, and should be rewarded." Wang Yun is loyal to the great man, and Sun Can's ability and integrity are just worthy of praise Talent, immediately speak for him.

Zhang Rang is a roundworm in Liu Hong's belly. Seeing Liu Hong's expression, he already knew what this simple-minded emperor was thinking. He wanted to be the first to speak, but his old opponent Wang Yun took the lead. , also interceded for Sun Can.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Cheng, Cai Yong and other virtuous ministers in the court also spoke good things about Sun Can.

He Jin knew that public anger was hard to offend. Seeing that most of the ministers were defending Sun Can, he could only obediently shut his mouth and sulked alone.

Liu Hong already had a good impression of Sun Can, although he was a little rude before, but after all, he has evidence, which is much better than blind praise.Hearing too many hypocritical praises, I really had a different feeling about his integrity, and thought: "Sun Can is indeed the child of my mentor, and both father and son are equally upright and selfless."

As I said before, Liu Hong's favorite person is Zhang Rang, but the person he trusts the most is his teacher Sun Zhe.Since Sun Can is as selfless as Sun Zhe, Liu Hong naturally added the word Sun Can to the people he trusted.

Liu Hong is not a wise king, but he will not treat his trusted subjects badly.

Immediately issued an order: "Sun Can has made great achievements in defeating the enemy. He specially appointed a fifth-rank general to fight against the rebels. His salary is doubled and he leads an army of [-]. The barracks will be set at the bank of Luoshui in the south of Luoyang. Chunyu Qiong will be a seventh-rank general Zhechong. Gao Shun, Fan Wu Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei are lieutenant colonels respectively. In addition, they are giving Sun Can a hundred gold coins, five BMWs, and ten altars of fine wine. In addition, all soldiers who go out to battle will get thirty big coins as a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, I will thank Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of the officers and men under his command." Seeing that the emperor not only added his own rank, but also greatly increased the reward, Sun Can was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

Then, he said: "Your Majesty, does the general have a request?"
