Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Swinging the whip vigorously increased his speed again, and Yuan Shao ran out of sight in a short while.And smiled and glanced at the other party's back, Jian Shuo also led the troops to set off, no longer waiting and watching.

Afterwards, more than 2 forbidden troops like Jian Shuo settled in the city of Jinyang.And he also knew that today, he had the time to gather everyone together and carefully understand the process of this matter.

"Okay, our family is clear about this matter. In the letter to the emperor a few days ago, our family also asked for a lot of rewards for the soldiers present here."

Smiling and clapping his hands, Jian Shuo smiled kindly at everyone present, and at the same time interrupted Zhang Yan's memories just now.

"All the officers and men who fought the enemy bravely this time, with more than [-] people smashing the [-] of the Guo bandit army, this is a great contribution, and it also proves that I am a great man. Tianwei. Don't say anything else, I am here in the West Garden. School lieutenants, our family has already written to the Son of Heaven to double the number of forbidden troops in the West Garden, and at the same time raise your military ranks by one rank, no different from the ordinary titled generals."

"If you want to wait until I go back, the elite soldiers under your command may have doubled again."

"If you are promoted to another rank, then the status of these school lieutenants is equivalent to that of the third-rank generals of the Han Dynasty?"

Hearing Jian Shuo's words, Zhang Yan couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.This Xiyuan school lieutenant was originally set up by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to check and balance the military power of General He Jin.Except for the Supreme General of Xiyuan, the later Emperor Xiaoling Liu Hong himself, the eight school lieutenants are in charge of their own troops, and they are all independent from the great general He Jin.

Now that everyone has been promoted to another level, it is the cornerstone of the army that is already equivalent to the level of "Sizheng", "Sizhen", "Siping", and "Si'an".

Considering that the number of forbidden troops in the West Garden has reached a terrifying [-], Zhang Yan only feels that the time when Jian Shuo ascends to the top to command all the soldiers and horses in the world, and when Shi Changshi and General He Jin officially tear their faces apart is probably not far away. up.

Chapter 61 Ending Rewards

"That's really congratulations to everyone..."

Smiling, he bowed his hands to the school captains opposite him, and Zhang Yan pursed his lips. Although he was happy that these friends, especially Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, could be promoted, when he thought that this was a change of official position at the school lieutenant level, he couldn't help but feel that he was a good friend. It had nothing to do with him, a young general who led a thousand soldiers, so he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Anyway, I'm also the godson of Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang, and Jian Shuo is an uncle who can't be kissed anymore..."

"These two powerful men will not forget me, will they?"

Pouting his lips slightly, Zhang Yan put his heart back into his stomach when he thought of his godfather's powerful spirit of "fame and fortune, all we need is a word from our family".

"Tsk... This is a third-rank military position, I'm afraid it's not much different from the Jiuqing position."

It's just that he didn't want to, just after he managed to calm down, a suppressed extremely low voice came from behind him.

"?"

Turning his head curiously, Zhang Yan suddenly found that the generals behind him were looking enviously at the direction of a group of school lieutenants on the opposite side.Not to mention Yang Feng and Han Xian who joined the army for the purpose of becoming officials, even Zhou Cang, who has never cared too much about fame, has become extremely jealous.

"As for it? As for it!"

When he scolded in a low voice, Zhang Yan naturally knew that these people did not have the low-level generals who had been influenced by Zhang Rang like himself, and they still longed for such things as official positions.

But because Jian Shuo was sitting on the main seat at the moment, he was a little embarrassed to say more to the crowd.

"Hehe, you brave men are impatient, but this time, in order to reward you for turning your prodigal son back and knowing your way back, our family has also asked for some rewards for you, and we will never forget the contributions you have made in this battle. "

As if he heard the whispers of Zhang Yan and others beside him, Jian Shuo also took a funny look at the generals who had joined the group of yellow scarves.

Unlike a rookie like Zhang Yan who has only been in the army for less than three months, a pure warrior like Jian Shuo is naturally more familiar with the ideas of Yang Feng and others.Considering that I will reward Zhang Yan later, and Zhang Yan is also qualified to form a cabinet and open a government after being awarded the title, and reward everyone under his command for their merits one by one, so Jian Shuo didn't care about advancing the reward. He made a promise for his nephew.

"Sir, Lieutenant of the Military Academy, we are not greedy for power, but our lord, Zhang Yan, has made a lot of contributions this time, and even made a lot of tricks to bring the two places of Hedong and Taiyuan back to the Han Dynasty..."

Hearing Jian Shuo's words, many generals around Zhang Yan naturally felt a little embarrassed.After making eye contact with each other for a while, everyone finally decided that the big brother Yang Feng stood up on behalf of everyone and said a few words of justice for their lord.

"The final general does not seek fame and wealth, but asks the captain to report all the achievements of my lord. I will be grateful."

Clasped his fists and bowed to Jian Shuo, Yang Feng blushed a little, stood up and said to Jian Shuo seriously.

Facing this powerful Yellow Turban general who was almost as powerful as himself, Jian Shuo naturally cared very much, and would not easily offend him.Although he didn't know why the other party followed his nephew Zhang Yan, it was obvious that the more talents of this kind, the better for the attendants who were about to clash with He Jin.

Not to mention, he was going to reward Zhang Yan on behalf of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, and Yang Feng's words at this time paved the way for his next step.

"General Yang, don't worry, let's see what this is?"

Smiling, he took out a volume of imperial edict from his pocket. Jian Shuo smiled slightly, then stood up and showed the edict to everyone.

"Our Yan'er fought for the emperor in this Central Plains area, and made numerous meritorious deeds. The emperor has already heard about it."

"Now our family came to Taiyuan in person today. Apart from leading the army to help, we also want to pass on the emperor's edict and reward Yan'er."

Waving to Zhang Yan, who still hadn't recovered, Jian Shuo smiled and pulled him up, and then handed the imperial edict into his hand.

"Yan'er, accept the imperial edict?"

Gently patted Zhang Yan's shoulder, Jian Shuo just motioned everyone present to bow and salute, then opened the edict in public and read it aloud.

"Today, according to the order of the emperor, I went to Zhang Yan's West Garden to go to the military camp to be a general, and I was changed to a fourth-rank permanent general, with a food ratio of two thousand shi."

"Because Zhang Yan, the backbone general, was young and promising, he was favored by the emperor, and he was specially appointed to lead 5000 soldiers, all in accordance with the standards of the forbidden army. It is allowed to set up a general's mansion, and it is allowed to set up an independent camp to form an army."

"Another 20 key generals, Zhang Yanmeiji, and [-] pieces of gold and silver brocade will be rewarded as rewards."

A series of three rewards came out from Jian Shuo's mouth. Except for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who had their own independent sources of information and had heard about Zhang Yan's award for a long time, all the people present were shocked and all in awe. Take a breath.

"Pian will jump directly to the position of the fourth-rank permanent general?"

"Leading 5000 troops, food ratio of [-] shi, isn't this comparable to the position of a third-rank general!"

"Is this reasonable?"

A group of school captains from the West Garden whispered in secret, and Zhang Yan, the person involved, was also holding the edict in his hand at the moment, with a look of bewilderment.

When Zhang Yan saw that everyone was awarded the title just now, although Zhang Yan was a little envious, he didn't think much about it.After all, unlike Cao Cao's lifelong wish of being the commander-in-chief of General Zhengxi, Zhang Yan plans to develop in the direction of civilian employment in the future, and he also believes that when he returns to Luoyang, Zhang Rang is likely to have He was placed in Lujiang as the prefect.

As long as everything goes well, he will soon be able to manage Lujiang's political affairs with peace of mind, and use Lujiang as a springboard for his future development to carry out simulated management and construction, while completing his single-handedly promoting Xiaoqiao's great cause.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help feeling a little longing for the position of general, but at the same time he felt quite hot about this position.

What I want is that although this backbone general is only a fourth-rank general, he is also a general who is formally setting up a battalion and leading the army, which is completely different from the partial generals and generals before that.As long as he takes this position, he can instantly increase his regular army's public funds from 2 to [-].Coupled with the [-] Yellow Turban soldiers that I have received before and after, these [-] people can already be said to be a very tyrannical force in the entire early period of the Three Kingdoms.

As for the hot one, Zhang Yan was a little worried about whether this position would affect the prefect position that his adoptive father Zhang Rang had set up for him in the court.After all, the prefect only eats [-] shi. If he takes over the position of general with a food ratio of [-] shi, it is very likely that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will not want to confer the two top civil and military positions to himself when he confers himself in the future. .

After all, the current emperor is Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, not the two children who can go up and knead in the future.

"Why, Yan'er seems to be a little reluctant to see your expression?"

Standing opposite to him, Jian Shuo patted Zhang Yan's hands with air.Seeing Zhang Yan's preoccupied look, he naturally asked curiously.

"Uncle, it's not because I'm unwilling, but because my adoptive father is worried about my safety and doesn't want me to get involved in the military too much. When I left the house earlier, I promised my adoptive father that I will be relieved of the general when I'm in class. position, changed to 'civilian'..."

His gaze flickered at Jian Shuo, and Zhang Yan didn't expect Jian Shuo to ask the question in front of everyone.Considering that Zhang Rang had already applied for a better position for himself in advance to be too disgusting, Zhang Yan finally chose a relatively euphemistic way of saying, using "civilian" to remind himself that this very Uncle who may have done bad things with good intentions.

"Resignation? Oh, you mean the appointment with Zhang Changshi, right..."

"Don't worry, Zhang Changshi was there when our family asked for a reward for you earlier, and he knew about it a long time ago."

"Even if you accept the imperial edict, you won't miss your 'agreement' with Zhang Changshi!"

Quietly blinking at Zhang Yan, Jian Shuo obviously knew something, and said to Zhang Yan with a pun.

Chapter 1 Homecoming

In June of the fifth year of Zhongping, the beginning of the month.

Outside Luoyang City, a mighty army is slowly marching towards Luoyang in the north of the city.In the middle of the camp, Zhang Yan was looking at the tall and majestic Luoyang City Gate in the distance at the moment, and there was an emotion of urgency and excitement in his heart.

Having been away from home for more than three months, Zhang Yan misses all kinds of things in Luoyang City very much.Whether it was the construction progress of the spectacle that he had never paid attention to since he left before, or the joy and excitement of Ye'er's reunion after a long absence, he wished he could leave the team immediately and go back to Luoyang to revisit one or two.

【Wonder Construction Interface】

【Current Construction Project: Giant Equatorial Sundial】

【Construction progress: 99%】

【Construction site: Luoyang】

【Number of people under construction: 2135】

【Construction cost: 61385484】

I turned on the system that I hadn't used for a long time, and on the wonder construction interface, I saw a big "Construction Progress: 99%" hanging on the top proudly.As for the construction cost, as Zhang Yan expected, it gradually increased from 3000 million to just over 6000 million.

"I don't know what went wrong with this progress..."

Slightly slandering, Zhang Yan felt a little helpless looking at the 99% progress.

As early as more than ten days ago, when he was still dealing with Mrs. Guo near Taihang Mountain, the system reminded him that the wonder project currently under construction was nearly completed.At that time, since Zhang Yan's mind was still on the more than 7 Guotai military forces behind him, he didn't pay much attention to this reminder.

It was only after more than ten days, when he finally had time to put his energy back on his system, that he realized that the progress of his wonder construction was stuck at 99%, and there was no progress for more than ten days.

"Shouldn't it be?"

Turning off the system interface in front of him, Zhang Yan didn't think about anything after reconfirming that there was still no progress in today's progress, but planned to wait until he returned to Luoyang to find time to go to the construction site in the north of the city to learn about it.

After all, after the construction progress stagnated, although the construction cost was still slowly increasing, it was no longer as crazy as it was at the beginning that Zhang Yan could not understand.And it can be seen with the naked eye that the number of construction workers of the spectacle has increased from more than 8 people not long after leaving Luoyang to a maximum of 2000 people, and then slowly fell back to the current state of less than [-] or [-] people.

Thinking about it, it was probably because Wei Xian encountered some difficulties that Ye'er could not help him solve, or he needed to directly ask Zhang Yan for instructions.As long as he went back to Luoyang by himself, the last one percent progress would not be a big problem for everyone.

Looking in the direction of the Luoyang city gate with some eagerness again, Zhang Yan suddenly envied Jian Shuo, Cao Cao and others who rode their horses back to Luoyang first.

Due to the special status of the Forbidden Army in Luoyang Xiyuan, Jian Shuo, as the commander of the Forbidden Army, could not leave Luoyang for too long.After sorting out all the affairs in Taiyuan that day, he, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, two wealthy sons who were also tired of military life, took the horse archers back to Luoyang to report to the emperor.

As the commander-in-chief of nearly [-] infantry soldiers, Zhang Yan could only lead the crowd to measure the ground with their feet bitterly.The only thing that comforted him was that there were also a few school lieutenants among the Forbidden Army of the West Garden who failed to return to Luoyang first, and could only suffer silently in the barracks like him.

"I don't know how Ye'er is doing recently, whether she has gained weight or lost weight..."

Silently thinking about his few family members in Luoyang, since Zhang Yan came to Luoyang, only Zhang Rang, Ye'er and other few people can be called family members.

Now that he has been away from home for three months and the wanderer returns to his hometown, he naturally feels extremely concerned about these two people.

"After you go back, let's go home and take a look... You can wait until later to meet the emperor to report on your duties. I think there will be no one in the army who will gossip and cause too many adverse effects on me. "

After secretly making up his mind, Zhang Yan stopped being anxious, but took out a booklet carefully bound with Cai Hou paper from his arms, and wrote and drew on it with carbon sticks.

This is a habit he developed in his previous life.Then no matter where he is, Zhang Yan always carries a booklet with him to record all the inspirations he gets by accident.In the beginning, he only recorded some inspirations that he thought of by chance, but after he developed this habit, the things he wrote gradually expanded from scattered fragments to some of his short-term designs and plans.

What he is now recording while riding forward is the changes he will make to the military system of his subordinates in the future.

When Jian Shuo left a few days ago, he had told Zhang Yan that the post of general general granted to him by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty this time was quite different from the previous military post that was like playing house.Not only did he have to find a way to recruit, screen, and train the [-] soldiers who will be completed later, but even the original command of the [-] soldiers had to be returned to the Forbidden Army of the West Garden.

It can be said that apart from the equipment and gold and silver needed to form the army, the imperial court completely let go of Zhang Yan, and naturally did not stipulate the method he needs to form his own parts.

It is true that such a behavior of delegating power and not letting go of soldiers has some disadvantages to Zhang Yan. After all, the first thousand soldiers followed Zhang Yan to several places, and all of them were veterans who had seen blood on the battlefield. Familiar……

But from another point of view, this kind of relatively laissez-faire behavior also has a lot of advantages for Zhang Yan, that is, the relative freedom of the military system.

There was no such condition before, so Zhang Yan could not apply some relatively advanced ideas of later generations to his army building.But this time Hanling Emperor Liu Hong didn't know what he was thinking. He actually let him set up a camp independently and no longer belonged to the Forbidden Army of the West Garden. Then he could carry out drastic reforms and at the same time adjust some unreasonable parts of the Eastern Han army appropriately. , Try to improve the combat effectiveness of your five thousand pawns.

Although this will inevitably exceed the budget allocated to him by Han Ting, relatively, it will be more convenient for him to build a suitable army for him.

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that the entire original army structure will be disrupted..."

Touching his chin with a carbon rod, Zhang Yan thought silently.
