Chapter 692

Liu Bowen suggested to Liu Bian to deal with the promotion and dispatch of generals first, and after these discussions were completed, he was writing Cao Cao's book and sending troops to the Western Regions.

Liu Bian said with a sad face: "The military advisor is right. General Xue Andu unfortunately died in battle and was killed by Lu Bu. If Meng De sent troops to the Western Regions, then only Gao Siji, Zhuge Liang, Xie Xuan and others will be left in Yongliang. ! For the scheduling of talents, what contact do you have?"

All the generals were silent, even Liu Bowen and Guo Jia did not say a word, just kidding, the promotion and scheduling of the generals is not nonsense, if you are not careful, you will offend others, if the general you contact is defeated, you may return To be involved in any disturbance to be held accountable.

"Let's not talk about the promotion of military generals and scheduling issues. Now that Yongliang is short of generals, do you have someone to recommend? Or do you have any ideas to recruit talents?" Liu Bian shook his head and smiled.

Only then did Liu Bowen come out, and cupped his hands to suggest: "Your Majesty, Xiliang has been controlled by Han Sui and other traitors for many years. Han Sui surrendered to Mongolia, but the people with lofty ideals in Xiliang will not follow him. Now Your Majesty's heavenly soldiers defeated Mongolia, and now Taking advantage of the momentum and marching into the Western Regions, General Cao Mengde will open a recruitment list to attract talents from Xiliang!"

Liu Bian said in his heart: "It's so good, I can recruit the summoned Jiang Wei, Wang Zhongsi, Wen Tianxiang and others."

Liu Bian said with a smile: "This plan is very good. Now that we have taken Xiliang, we can recruit loyal people from the Western Regions!"

While the documents were in a hurry to record, Liu Bian continued: "Xue Andu is a battle-tested man. Although he took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he repented in time and helped me take Guanzhong, and resisted Yizhou's attack many times. It can be said that he is loyal. I decided Posthumously confer the title of Marquis of Xiangwu Ting, and his son will inherit his title!"

"Your Majesty Long En!" All the generals clasped their hands together.

Liu Bian nodded and said: "Cao Mengde made outstanding contributions in this battle, and now he is going to go on an expedition to the Western Regions. I have decided to re-establish the Western Region Capital House, with Cao Cao as the chief of the capital..."

"Your Majesty, the rank of the Chief of the Protectorate's Mansion is two thousand stones. He is the captain of the same county, which is equivalent to being in charge of the military of a county. Cao Mengde made such a great contribution, why did his position not increase but decline instead?" A civil official said with his hands clasped.

Liu Bian laughed and said, "Listen to what I have to say!"

"promise!"

Liu Bian said in a deep voice: "In the past, the capital protection mansion was set up, implying the meaning of supervision and protection. It was to lead troops to supervise, not to manage the Western Regions. As a result, the Western Regions rebelled several times and wasted their troops in vain. Therefore, I decided to completely put an end to these scourges. Take complete control of the Western Regions and make it the prefecture of the Han Dynasty. Re-establishing the Duhufu is just an overstatement, so I raised the official position of the Duhufu to the same position as the prefectural governor, with a rank ratio of three thousand stones!"

Everyone in the tent suddenly realized.

Liu Bian continued: "I named Cao Cao the Protector of the Western Regions, with a rank of three thousand stones. He made great contributions in defeating Mongolia in this battle, and I named him Marquis of Anguting!"

Originally Cao Cao was the Marquis of Guannei, and the Marquis of Guannei was the lowest rank among the marquises, above which were the Marquis of Ting, Marquis of Township, and Marquis of County.However, it is still early for the unification of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao has not yet gone to the Western Regions.

If it is an official position, if the title is too high, then it is a big official in the frontier. Even if Liu Bian is at ease, there must be many people in the court who deal with Cao Cao.

"Li Xianzhong, Li Jing cooperated with Cao Cao in defeating Mongolia, and made him the Marquis of Guannei! Li Jing was named the governor of Bingzhou, and he returned to Bingzhou immediately to serve in Taiyuan, the governor of Bingzhou Military!

Zhao Yun beheaded Hu Dachi, Giselle, and Yan Yan, the generals of the Western Regions in this battle. Among the thousands of troops, I decided to make him a Marquis of Guannei!

In this battle, Lin Yu took the Yumen Pass as the vanguard, beheaded Wharton, the general of the Western Regions, and became the champion general.

Zhuge Liang, Xie Xuan, Gao Siji, when they first arrived in Yongzhou, they performed very well, especially Zhuge Liang, who first defeated Sima Yi in Ziwu Valley, then marched into Tianshui, recommended Wang Xuance, and planned the rebellion of the Western Regions against Mongolia. . "

Liu Bian paused and said: "A few days ago, I received news that in Luoyang, Taiwei Lu Gong was not feeling well. I have been on the expedition for more than half a year. He was the governor of the military affairs of various states and was busy with the conscription. He worked day and night and fell ill. I I don't want him to work so hard, so I decided to let Li Xianzhong return to Luoyang and temporarily act as Taiwei!"

Liu Bowen clasped his hands and asked: "Your Majesty's sympathy for the Taiwei is justifiable, and General Li Xianzhong was originally acting as the governor of Yongzhou temporarily. With his qualifications and ability, it is understandable to be the Taiwei. It's just that once General Li leaves, who can command in Yongzhou?" Army?"

Liu Bian wanted to help Zhuge Liang to the top, and said with a smile: "I have decided to let Zhuge Liang take the post of governor of Yongzhou temporarily. This person has outstanding abilities. When he was in Wudang Academy, I felt that this person is not a person in the pool..."

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang is only ten years old. If so, he might not be able to convince the public..." Guo Jia suggested, cupping his hands.

"Hehe!" Liu Bian chuckled and said, "Of course I know that he has insufficient qualifications and cannot convince the public. So it is a temporary replacement, let's see if he can subdue the Guanzhong soldiers and horses according to his methods. Report it to my desk, and I will naturally dismiss him, if he can subdue all the generals, he will have no worries!"

"Since Your Majesty has thought about it, I have nothing to say!" Guo Jia bowed his hands and withdrew.

"Yeah!" Liu Bian nodded slightly: "Order Zhuge Liang to temporarily act as the governor of Yongzhou and perform the duties of the governor. He was named General Anzhong. Xie Xuan named him General Guangwei, and Gao Siji named him General Pian!"

Xue Rengui stood up and reminded: "Your Majesty, Xie Xuan and Zhuge Liang are both outstanding talents from Wudang Academy. I'm afraid they are both arrogant and arrogant. If they are put together, it may be a bit..."

"General Yue is right!" Liu Bian agreed. Although Zhuge Liang was very capable, he had a flaw, that was, he was meticulous about everything. Although this was related to the lack of talents in the Shu Han, it was indeed Zhuge Liang's weakness.

The two are both young and arrogant, it is really inappropriate to put them together.Liu Bian pondered and said: "I then transferred Xie Xuan to Nanyang, just as Cao Mengde was going to the Western Regions, and the position of governor of Liangzhou was vacant, so I transferred Chang Yuchun to Xiliang to serve as governor of Liangzhou, and Xie Xuan, yes, returned There is Zhang Liao, a general who surrendered, and I named him General Beneficiary, and went to Nanyang together with Xie Xuan. Let Liu Yu be the governor of Nanyang's army!"

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection!" All the ministers said in unison.

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction. The most difficult thing is to help Zhuge Liang to the top, but now Yongzhou has no senior generals.There are not many obstacles to help Zhuge Liang, a newcomer, take the position.Unlike helping Xue Rengui to the top, Youzhou had veterans like Le Jin and Di Qing, so Liu Bian was engaged in martial arts and was a virtuous minister of Ying Meng, which was very difficult.

Liu Bian appointed Zhuge Liang as the governor of Yongzhou temporarily, and after seeing his ability to see the effect, all the officials agreed.

"In addition, in this battle, Ma Chao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Pang De, Li Yuanfang, Cao Xiao, Chen Dao under Li Jing's command, Pei Jun and others all made great achievements in killing the enemy. The last hundred gold medals, ten beauties! Ten pieces of silk! And Wang Xuance, this person is instigating the rebellion against the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, and he has a good understanding of the Western Great Qin, I want to meet La, you let him go to Jizhou!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

Documents are written like flying, and they are recorded quickly.

"Do you remember it?" Liu Bian looked at the document and said.

The clerk nodded: "Remember everything!"

"Well!" Liu Bian said with satisfaction: "I won't talk too much about the reward of the general, you can write a letter to Cao Cao now: Since the farewell in Chang'an, you and my monarch have not seen each other for several years... Mongolian bandits invaded the country, you beat back Mongolia, I am very relieved, but the matter of attacking the Western Regions cannot be delayed. Lao Qing worked hard to attack the Western Regions, and brought Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Li Yuanfang, Cao Xiao, Xia Houlan and other generals, led the white horses, the tigers and leopards, and [-] cavalry , Thirty thousand elite infantry attacked the Western Regions!
I left Pound to guard Xiliang, and I have transferred Chang Yuchun to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, and Pound is under his tent.Once Aiqing leaves, there will be insufficient soldiers in Liangzhou. Xiliang has been under the command of the traitor Han Sui for a long time, and capable people will not vote. Now that our great Han soldiers have taken back Xiliang, Aiqing is envious of capable people and chooses loyal people to fill Yongliang General vacancies! "

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he said to the document: "Send this letter and the rewards of the generals to Xiliang as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

After the generals left, outside Liu Bian's tent that night, a soldier's voice came to mind: "Your Majesty, the messenger of Governor Cao is begging to see you!"

Liu Bian frowned and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you already deliver the letter today? Why is there still a letter? Let him in!"

The messenger walked into the tent and saluted: "The villain has seen His Majesty!"

"What is Cao Mengde doing? Why do you need to deliver the letter quietly!" Liu Bian asked.

The messenger took out the letter and said: "Your Majesty, Governor Cao secretly told me that this letter is his personal letter and has nothing to do with official business, so I asked the younger one to send it to Your Majesty quietly."

Liu Bian reached out to take the letter, waved the messenger back, and opened the letter to check it.

The previous paragraph was just reminiscing about the old days, greetings were irrelevant, but the latter paragraph made Liu Bian laugh out loud, and he saw that the letter read: "Your Majesty, my minister was the same as Yuan Shao in the capital, and his wife, Mrs. Liu, was also quite For the sake of admiration, it's just that this guy is relying on his family background, so I don't have the chance to get it, now that Yuan Shao is dead, please Your Majesty to give this Madam Liu to this minister, I thank you!"

"As expected of a wife, Cao, Yuan Shao fell in love with his wife as soon as Yuan Shao died." Liu Bian rubbed his chin and murmured: "Cao Cao may love Mrs. Liu, but the meaning of this letter has a deeper meaning!
Zimo, Cao Cao's status is increasing day by day, and now he has defeated the Mongols.So I wrote this letter specially to dispel my doubts and express my loyalty! "

Liu Bian immediately took the commission and wrote a letter to appease him to take care of the Western Regions and don't care about gossip.He also ordered people to send Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu, to Cao Cao.

As soon as Cao Cao defeated the Mongols, he immediately sent someone to speed up and send the battle report to Liu Bian.It took only five days, and the speed was very fast, and Zhao Kuangyin's spies had just received the news of the battle in Liangzhou.

Early the next morning, the courier set off again to deliver letters to Liangzhou, and arrived in Xiliang within five days.

Cao Cao was still stationed in Longxi, waiting for the messenger to arrive. Li Jing, Li Xianzhong and others had not left yet.However, Xiliang's soldiers and horses have already gone to Yumen Pass to stand by.

Cao Cao is also a smart man. He understands that it is impossible to transfer all the soldiers and horses from Liangzhou to the Western Regions, so he only mobilized the white horse righteous servants and tiger and leopard cavalry, as well as [-] ordinary cavalry and [-] elite infantry. The layout of the debate is generally the same.

Upon learning that the messenger had returned, Cao Cao, Li Jing, and Li Xianzhong immediately led the generals to greet him, prepare shampoo, and read out the imperial edict.
