Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 2411 Yongzhou is about to be unrest

Chapter 2407: Yongzhou is about to become unstable

 “Fengxian, why are you so dazed?”

Li Cunxiao's voice rang in his ears, and Lu Bu woke up from his meditation.

"Oh, it's okay. I haven't been home for half a year. I miss my children a little."

Lu Bu smiled lightly and started to defend himself.

He thought carefully and decided not to tell Li Cunxiao that Xiang Yu was still alive. After all, Xiang Yu's survival must be the work of his lord.

My lord rescued Xiang Yu, but asked him to remain anonymous and work secretly for the empire. He must have had his own motives.

If he exposes Xiang Yu's information without authorization and ruins the lord's plan, he will be doing something bad with good intentions, so it is better to keep silent.

Of the 60,000 Qin troops who conquered Japan, 30,000 died in the battle, and nearly half of them died on the Japanese battlefield.

 The remaining 30,000 troops need to guard the counties of Yingzhou, so naturally it is impossible for them all to return and receive awards.

Therefore, Zhou Yu only selected one-tenth of the people, a total of 3,000 representatives came back to receive the award.

 The three thousand representatives who returned to Luoyang were all those who had made meritorious service in the war against Japan.

Even the most ordinary soldiers fought bravely and had at least fifteen heads on them, and even dozens more, otherwise they would not be qualified to return to Luoyang as representatives.

In other words, the number of Japanese who died in the hands of these three thousand representatives alone was probably at least 100,000.

Although the killings of the elite battalions of Da Qin were heavy, no other army had killed so many lives like them.

 If a person kills too many people, his body will naturally be contaminated with evil spirits.

Therefore, looking up, after these three thousand representatives are gathered together, the evil spirit on their bodies has solidified to a terrifying level. Even ordinary people can see that each of them is an elite in hundreds of battles.

When the three thousand representatives entered the city, the people who had lined the streets to welcome them and shouted loudly were frightened by the evil spirit of the soldiers. They couldn't help but stagnate out of fear, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should cheer or not.

Wang Meng couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and said to Zhou Yu: "Captain Zhou, the killings in the war against the Japanese were too heavy, and the evil spirit of the soldiers has not dissipated, and even the people of the country are afraid.

 You must find a way to resolve it, otherwise if things go on like this, some soldiers will definitely lose their minds, which will be a loss for Great Qin. "

“Prime Minister, please rest assured, I have already made a decision on how to resolve the soldiers’ murderous thoughts.

　　The Japanese soldiers stationed in Yingzhou have begun to marry local Japanese girls, and these representatives are no exception.

 After returning to Yingzhou, their only task was to have children with the Japanese girls and use the method of yin and yang to dissolve the evil spirits in their hearts. "

 Although Zhou Yu's method is crude, women are indeed the best medicine to heal men's body and mind.

 The gentle countryside and the hero's grave are nothing more than this.

Three thousand men with watches entered the city, apparently unaware of their own problems and still immersed in the joy of being named heroes.

It can be seen that the people who were cheering just now were silent after seeing them, looking scared. They were a little confused for a while, and they didn't quite understand why the people were afraid of them.

Some grumpy soldiers saw that the people did not cheer, but looked at them with fear, and almost couldn't hold back their curses.

 Some of the generals who conquered Japan were also a little dissatisfied. Didn’t they all call them heroes? Now that the hero is back, is this how you welcome the hero?

After Zhao Yun saw this scene, he glanced at Zhou Yu and saw that the other party was nodding towards him. Zhao Yun immediately understood and jumped to the forefront. Using his internal strength, he raised his gun and raised his arms and shouted: "Common people of Luoyang, the Qin Dynasty is conquering the Japanese army. came back."

 “General Zhao, he is General Zhao Zilong.”

“I have seen General Zhao before, with his white horse and silver spear, he is still so majestic and upright.”

“Folks, what are we afraid of? Didn’t you listen to what General Zhao said? It’s my army from Great Qin that is coming back.”

“That’s right, they kill foreigners to protect us ordinary people. You don’t have to be afraid.”

 “Welcome back the heroic troops…”

The people who were afraid of the charges of the Jizujun shouted under Zhao Yun's arms, and they were afraid of all their hearts. They shouted again.

 Among the three thousand representatives of the Japanese expedition, some were affected by evil spirits. Seeing that no one was cheering for them, they felt that they had been treated unfairly, so their emotions became a little unstable.

 But when he saw the people cheering for them again and praising them as heroes, the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared. He grinned and greeted the people on the roadside, and even the evil spirit that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time dissipated a lot.

All the way from the east gate to the inner city, tens of thousands of children came up to lay flowers, and old men presented vegetable baskets full of vegetables, meat and eggs, so that the three thousand delegates were full of flowers.

This is enough to show that the people of Luoyang are really rich. After all, if they were poor, they would not be able to give so many things to reward the army.

 Inside the embassy.

The Roman envoy Cicero looked shocked when he saw the military appearance of the Japanese conquest representatives on the street.

“Even the Spartan army did not have such an astonishing murderous spirit. How many people did this army kill?”

 Cicero was a famous politician, orator, orator, jurist and philosopher in ancient Rome. He was born into a family of slave-owning knights. He became a prominent figure on the Roman political stage because of his eloquence.

 At the beginning, he tended to be a plebeian faction, and then he became an aristocratic faction. He was even elected as the consul of Rome. He was eventually killed by his political enemy Antony.

Cicero was not a simple envoy. He not only understood politics, but also knew military affairs. As for the reason why he went to the Central Plains this time, he naturally came with a special mission.

Although Cicero was frightened by the murderous intent of the Japanese conquest delegation, he obviously did not think that the Qin army was like this.

"Roman envoy, your majesty will summon you and others to the palace for an audience after commending the representatives of the Japanese conquest. Please prepare quickly." Cao Zhengchun said in the eunuch's unique high-pitched voice.

Hearing this, Cicero immediately said in a limited amount of Chinese: "My lord, wait a moment. After the foreign ministers have bathed and changed their clothes, they will go to the palace and wait outside."

Cicero was on a mission to the East on this mission. He was originally ordered by the Roman Emperor Severus to recover the holy sword that was taken away by Arthur. However, he did not expect that on the way there, he met Marco Polo who was returning.

Cicero learned from Marco Polo that the Eastern Empire was far superior to the great Rome in terms of military, politics, economy, population, culture, etc.

But today’s East, like Rome, is in a state of fragmentation, more than ten years earlier than Rome.

However, after more than ten years of turmoil and annexation, there are only ten forces left in the East: Qin, Chu, Shu, Wei, Wu, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. Among these forces, the country with the strongest strength and the most potential to unify the entire east is Da Qin.

 Da Qin’s technologies in metallurgy, steelmaking, textiles, and even agriculture were all superior to those of Rome.

 So Cicero came up with the idea of ​​​​these technologies and wanted to bring these skills that Rome did not have back to the West.

In addition, Cicero also learned that King Arthur, who was wanted by Rome, had now become a general of Great Qin, so he came directly to Great Qin, preparing to communicate with the most powerful force in the East to see if he could I want the holy sword back.

 In the palace, Cao Zhengchun was constantly reading the edict of commendation.

 He had been reciting for a full hour, but he still had not finished reciting it. Because there were too many people receiving awards, it took him another half an hour to finish reciting it completely.

 “Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward.”

Three thousand representatives shouted in unison, the sound was overwhelming and deafening.

Ying Hongye was frightened by the evil spirits of the soldiers, and timidly hid behind Ying Hao, looking scared.

 “Haha, the emperor’s sister is so courageous.”

Ying Ying saw this and laughed at her sister. Ying Hongye was so angry that she wanted to run over and beat him, but she didn't dare to go too far away from her father.

Seeing this scene, Ying Hao burst into laughter, stretched out his hands to pick up his daughter, and said loudly to the soldiers below: "Soldiers, you fight for the Qin Dynasty, and I will never be stingy with rewards.

As for those soldiers who died in foreign lands, Da Qin will never forget their merits.

 Their parents will receive tax reductions and exemptions, their children will receive education, and pensions will be sent to their families in full..."

Ying Hao said a few words, which made the soldiers below feel excited and moved.

With such a wise emperor and such a powerful country, they have nothing to worry about and can just serve the country wholeheartedly.

“Be loyal to Your Majesty and die for the Qin Dynasty…”

 All the representatives shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Ying Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then moved on to the next step, canonizing the generals who had made great contributions in the war against Japan.

 Zhou Yu and Wu Qi have already been rewarded and are not on the list of rewards this time. However, Wang Jian, Yue Yun, Chen Dao and others are not in the list, so they have to be rewarded again, and the first person is naturally Wang Jian.

"Wang Jian has made great achievements in conquering the Japanese. He is now named General Pingdong, deputy governor of Yongzhou, and also the prefect of Fufeng on the right."

As soon as Wang Jian's canonization edict came out, all the civil servants and generals present were stunned.

The positions of General Pingdong and Prefect are fine, but now he is promoted to deputy governor? It's a bit too fast.

 Many people looked at Wang Meng, thinking that Wang Jian was promoted so quickly because of Wang Meng's operation, but in fact Wang Meng himself was a little surprised.

Now that the Wang family has become a very popular minister, the first prime minister of the founding of the country has been born among the civil officials. If there is a great governor among the military generals, it will be too big to attract attention.

 So, Wang Meng actually didn't want his uncle Wang Jian to be promoted so quickly, but even though His Majesty the Emperor valued Wang Jian, there was nothing he could do.

Wang Jian himself did not expect that he would be named deputy governor.

Wu Qi could be named the governor of Yongzhou because he won the Battle of Guandong and almost single-handedly captured the Guandong Plain.

Although his contribution in the conquest of Japan was great, it was obviously not as great as Wu Qi's.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor trusted him as a veteran general and entrusted him with important responsibilities, Wang Jian could not live up to His Majesty's new appointment, so he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Wang Jian, will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

Ying Hao looked down at Wang Jian, who had half-white hair but was full of energy. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Among the many famous generals in the pre-Qin Dynasty, apart from Bai Qi, Ying Hao's favorite was Wang Jian. Now that Wang Jian is under his command, he will naturally use him more.

As for Wang Meng's worries, Ying Hao didn't care at all. If the merits of the Wang family were greater than those of the master, how could the Wang family's contribution be greater than that of Bai Qi? He could even tolerate Bai Qi, so how could he not tolerate the Wang family.

However, the Wang family occupies high positions in the civil and military fields. If there are no restrictions, it is very likely to cultivate a powerful family, which will definitely be detrimental to the country.

 “It seems that the next prime minister cannot let Wang Meng be re-elected.”

Ying Hao thought to himself, but a more troublesome question came again, that is, Wang Meng did not make any mistakes, and his political achievements in power were extremely remarkable. Who among the six ministers could replace him in this situation.

“It’s such a headache, forget it, let’s talk about it then.”

After Wang Jian thanked him and returned, Yue Yun, Xue Dingshan and other young generals came together to congratulate him on his promotion to the deputy governor of Yongzhou. With their winking eyes, anyone could tell that they had ulterior motives.

Wang Jian smiled bitterly when he saw this. He knew that the intention of these young generals was to serve under his command.

Young generals such as Yue Yun and Xue Dingshan have also made great achievements this time and will definitely be promoted.

 They are all second generation generals and heirs to the throne, and their future achievements are limitless.

After this promotion, they will most likely be transferred to serve under their father's command, and eventually they will inherit their father's legacy, but none of them want to be attached to their father's wings.

On the other hand, after experiencing the Japanese Conquest War, they already had a full understanding of Wang Jian and knew that he was a famous commander who was as good as his father.

They may not get the best development when they serve under Wang Jian, but they can get the best experience. Moreover, all the credit is based on their own ability, and no one will gossip.

Wang Jian saw what they were thinking, and his work together during this period also made him understand that the second-generation generals such as Yue Yun and Xue Dingshan were not playboys, but had real abilities.

Anyway, he will have to choose his own troops sooner or later. Instead of choosing generals who don't know the basics, it is better to choose people like Yue Yun who know the basics.

Furthermore, with Wang Jian's military vision, he instinctively felt that Yongzhou was about to become unstable.

Yongzhou only has one and a half counties. With the famous commander Li Jing serving as the governor and Wu Qi serving as the governor of Yongzhou, he is still asked to serve as the deputy governor?

The place where the sesame was large, but the three of them were gathered. His Majesty was obviously going to do anything.

Wang Jian instinctively felt that His Majesty wanted to use troops against Yongzhou, so he and Wu Qi were transferred to Yongzhou.

He was the last person to go to Yongzhou and had already lost the opportunity. If he wanted to not lose to Li Jing and Wu Qi in the next action, he must not choose an unfamiliar general when choosing generals. Yue Yun Xue Dingshan and others are just right.
