The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 1085 Imperial Seal and Parting

After coming down from the court, Lu Bu took the imperial edict with the emperor's seal and went to the military camp outside the city.

Due to a hangover last night, many people still did not wake up even though the sun was high.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry either, he first finished his rounds with Gao Shun's company, and only after the generals woke up one after another at noon did they call them together.

On the field, the generals of the whole army arrived, and the soldiers, under the leadership of their respective generals, stood neatly in many square formations, looking forward in unison.

Lu Bu called his eldest son Lu Zhuan and handed him the bamboo slips, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Lu Zhuan knew it. After taking it with both hands, he opened the bamboo slips. He scanned the bamboo slips first, and his voice was loud, clear and full of confidence.

"The Son of Heaven issued a decree, hereby confers honors to all those who have made meritorious deeds."

"According to the will of the Holy Son of Heaven, Gao Shun is granted the title of General Who Conquers the North, Marquis of Jiling, and ten thousand households in the city of food!"

In the eyes of countless envious eyes, Gao Shun strode out, clasped his fists in his hands, and replied in a deep voice: "Gao Shun leads the order to thank you!"

"According to the will of the Holy Son of Heaven, Ma Chao is named General of Conquering the North, Marquis of Zhaowu, and ten thousand households in the city of food!"

Hearing his own name, Ma Chao strode forward, his face not concealing his sharpness, and he also cupped his hands and said, "Ma Chao leads the order to thank you!"

"Following the wishes of the Holy Son of Heaven, Huang Zhong was granted the title of General of Zhennan, Marquis of Deng, and ten thousand households in the city!"

"Huang Zhong leads the order to thank you!"

"By the will of the Holy Son of Heaven..."

"........."

Lu Zhuan read the imperial edict for more than half an hour.

Not only Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, and Song Xian, who had followed Lü Bu for many years, were awarded titles, but even Sui Gu, Zhang Qingniu, who were bandit-born generals who joined Lv Bu's command, were all awarded.

"Sui White Rabbit, did you hear, I'm also a Marquis! Hahaha..."

When Zhang Qingniu heard his name, Zhang Qingniu laughed wildly and shook the shoulders of his best friend vigorously. Although he was only a small Ting Hou, before this, this was something he had never dared to think about.

Sui Gu also had a smile on his face, after several lives and deaths, today he finally came to fruition.

"Father, have you seen it in the spirit of the sky! My son, I have finally come to the fore!"

Guan Qiujian knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes.

The sad tone is all touching.

Who knows how he survived this year from the edge of life and death.

After conferring military generals, the next step is civil servants.

Civil servants' royal titles can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is Pang Ji, Chen Gong and others. They have followed Lu Bu for a long time, and they have made many good suggestions. An important position, or down to the local level, the governor of any county.

In short, they will not be treated badly.

The second category is Wang Kai, Jia Kui and his ilk. Although they don't have too many suggestions and suggestions, they also have something remarkable and can be sent to a local area to be the head of a county.

The third category is Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and others. Since they made it clear before that they did not want to get involved in the political affairs of the court, Lu Bu only gave them idle jobs and ate the state's salary, but they basically did nothing, and they were happy because of this. Leisurely.

As for the most important play, Lu Bu is going to wait for him to leave the customs before asking for his opinion.As long as Xi Ce opens his mouth, even if it is the Sangong Jiuqing, it is a certainty and will be screened by him.

"I will thank you, my lord!"

After the edict was sealed, everyone knelt facing Lu Bu and bowed sincerely.

If they hadn't followed the right lord, they wouldn't be where they are today.

Seeing it in his eyes, Lu Bu was filled with emotion in his heart. He raised his hands to the kneeling generals, and his tone was deeply touched: "Everyone, get up quickly. We have shared weal and woe, and we have shared life and death all these years. If it weren't for you With the great help of everyone, there will be no glory today..."

After conferring on the generals, Lu Bu took out another scroll of bamboo slips and asked Lu Zhuan to continue reading.

The content of this scroll of bamboo slips is probably the latest policy on low-level soldiers.

From now on, all recruits who want to enlist in the army, the most basic requirement, must reach the age of sixteen, instead of the original thirteen.

Soldiers below the military marquis, who are over 45 years old, must register with the battalion master's office and leave the camp to return home.

At that time, with the documents issued by the army, you can go back to the county where your ancestral home is located and receive [-] acres of land for farming.In addition, counting from the date of joining the army, every year of military service, you can get ten more acres of land.

In other words, as long as you don't enter the army after the age of 40, plus the meritorious service accumulated in the battle, you should have at least a hundred acres of land.As long as you work hard, you can live comfortably for several generations.

I heard that the age limit for enlisting in the army was okay, but when they heard that they had to be forced to leave the army when they reached the age of 45, many old soldiers couldn't help it and started making loud noises.

"My lord, do you despise us old things!"

"We can still fight, we can still fight!"

"My lord, please don't drive us away, we want to stay and continue to serve you, even if we die in battle!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The waves of sound came and went, continuously.

If it were normal, the generals of the battalions must have shouted and stopped them, and even picked up the whip and whipped it several times, it is not impossible.

But at this time, all the generals seemed to have become silent.

For half their lives in the army, they have never lived in a fixed place, and their years and youth are all dedicated to the barracks.For them, the military camp is their real home.

Many people's eye sockets were already red and swollen, and some even began to cry secretly.

On weekdays, I always feel that the training is hard, and the war is even more desperate. I wish I could escape the cage that restrained them earlier.

But now, when it's time to say goodbye to the barracks, they realize how reluctant they are.

Lu Bu saw it, but he had no choice but to be hard-hearted: "All these years, you have worked hard with me, Lu Bu! Now that the world has been settled and the world is peaceful, you should also return to your hometown..."

"Your Majesty, we are not leaving!"

"Yes, don't go!"

Veterans are as stubborn as old cows.

The old soldiers were stubborn, but Lu Bu did not let go of this. He said loudly: "Old man, look at your temples, your hair is already gray. You have fought with me, Lu Bu, for many years, and now I can't give you high officials and rich salary. It is even more impossible to bestow titles on you. What I can do is to let you return to your hometown in fine clothes, marry a wife and aunt, give birth to a few cubs, and enjoy the blessings."

"If you really miss Lu, then wait until your cubs grow up, and ask them to join the army to serve the country!"

After speaking, Lu Bu turned around from the high platform and never looked at these old soldiers again.

45 years old, in their age, is already considered a long life.

Many of them may not have lived for a few years.

The reason why Lu Bu sent them home was that they could be buried under the green hills of their homeland after their death, and sleep forever at night.
