The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 420 On the Rewards for Deeds
When Zhang Liao reported, his voice was very loud and very proud. After all, it is very important for anyone who leads troops to fight to have such a complete victory.

Zhao Feng was also very happy when he heard this, but Zhao Feng frowned. After all, he didn't say the number of casualties, so Zhao Feng was quite curious.

The reason why Zhang Liao didn't say the number of casualties was also to give Zhou Yu a chance to report.

"How about the casualties of our army? So many enemies have been beheaded today, so the casualties of our army won't be great, right?"

Zhao Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that Zhang Liao deliberately didn't say the number of casualties.

He also thought that there was a problem with the plan, so he said that they had suffered a lot of casualties, but Zhang Liao didn't say anything.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no soldiers in our army died, only some soldiers were injured, but the injuries were not serious. They can recover after a short rest. This is also thanks to His Majesty's great blessing."

When Zhao Feng asked this question, Zhang Liao also looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu understood now.

Zhang Liao deliberately left it for him to report, and he also gave Zhang Liao a kind look.

He hurriedly reported to Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng was also very happy when he heard the news.

"Okay, very good, the three lords have contributed a lot to this battle, come and get flattened, let's go in and appreciate it."

Zhao Feng was also very happy to hear that none of their soldiers died, and only some were injured.

After all, when Zhou Yu said at the beginning that he could control the casualties within one thousandth with certainty, Zhao Feng still didn't quite believe it.

But I didn't expect that the result was as expected by Zhou Yu, not only controlled within one thousandth, but also zero casualties.

This made Zhao Feng a little overjoyed, so he hurriedly asked the three of them to get up, and finally entered the official residence to prepare for meritorious deeds.

The three of them were also very happy when they heard this, so they thanked Zhao Feng and walked towards the palace together.

And when they got to the official mansion, Zhao Feng also stood on a high place and asked the three of them.

"This battle was a great victory. The three of you have made great contributions, and Zhou Yu's side is the first. What reward do you want Zhou Yu?"

Zhao Feng knew that the record of zero casualties was thanks to Zhou Yu, so he first asked Zhou Yu to see what reward Zhou Yu wanted.

From Zhao Feng's point of view, even if Zhou Yu wanted any reward, he would basically give it to him, as long as it wasn't too much.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty minister was captured by the enemy the day before yesterday, which made His Majesty feel ashamed. This time, the guilty minister did meritorious deeds. Therefore, the guilty minister did not dare to ask for any rewards. I hope that your majesty will be able to absolve the guilty minister of his crimes."

Zhou Yu also understood very well, after all, he was captured because of carelessness before, which was very embarrassing to him.

And it also lost Zhao Feng's face, so he didn't dare to have any rewards for his crimes and meritorious deeds now.

As long as Zhao Feng can absolve him of his crimes and make him feel less uncomfortable.

"Haha, you can't say that. Although it is careless to say that you were captured by the enemy before, it is indeed my responsibility."

"So you deserve a lot of credit for this big victory. I'll forgive your sins first, and then reward you for your merits. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhao Feng laughed outright when he heard Zhou Yu say that. In fact, in Zhao Feng's opinion, Zhou Yu had no crimes at all before.

After all, this person has stumbled and stumbled, and it is normal to be captured alive. As long as you don't betray the court after being captured, then there is no problem.

So he still decided to reward Zhou Yu with something, after all, in his opinion, Zhou Yu's contribution this time is definitely the biggest among the three of them.

"Your Majesty, I really don't dare to ask for any rewards. Please take back your orders. After all, General Zhang Liao and Lord Xun Yu have made great contributions to this battle. I just ask Your Majesty to reward them both. I There is no reward."

At this moment, Zhou Yu was determined not to ask Zhao Feng for any more rewards, so he directly refused to Zhao Feng.

After this defensive battle, because of Zhou Yu's outstanding achievements, Zhao Feng planned to reward Zhou Yu greatly.

But Zhou Yu didn't want to accept the reward no matter what, because in Zhou Yu's opinion, it was a crime for Zhao Feng to be captured before him.

At the same time, he lost the face of the Great Wei State, so he felt that he was guilty, even if he made great contributions this time.

That shouldn't be rewarded, so he doesn't want it anyway, but there is no way in Zhao Feng's opinion.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yu committed any crimes before, but at this time his contribution is the greatest, and he must be rewarded.

So no matter how Zhou Yu declined, Zhao Feng was determined to reward Zhou Yu.

"Okay, don't refuse. This is an imperial decree. Gongjin, you must accept the court's reward no matter what. Otherwise, how will these soldiers view this court and me in the future?"

Zhao Feng now wanted to let Zhou Yu understand that the reason why he rewarded him was not simply because of his military achievements this time.

It is also for these soldiers to see. After all, you are not someone. Even if you have committed crimes before, as long as your crimes are not worthy of death.

As long as you make meritorious deeds for the court, then your meritorious deeds can offset part of the crimes.

If your credit is so great that it can offset your previous crimes, then the reward should still be rewarded.

In this way, these soldiers can also make more contributions to the imperial court. After all, if the imperial court achieves unfair rewards and punishments, it is impossible for any soldier or official to contribute to the imperial court wholeheartedly.

Because only when the court has clear rewards and punishments, can these soldiers and officials work together to contribute to the court.

"The minister leads the decree, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Zhou Yu couldn't shirk it when he saw it, so he could only accept the decree to thank him.

Because from Zhou Yu's point of view, if Zhao Feng is really determined to reward him, then he must accept it.

In fact, if Zhao Feng really did this, it would make Zhou Yu even happier. After all, his contribution this time is indeed not small.

Although it is said that his previous crimes are yes, they are actually not the same.

After all, if Zhao Feng said that he wanted to reward him very much, it meant that Zhao Feng didn't take this matter to heart, so Zhou Yu would be happier.

"Okay, if this is the case, the rewards for the three of you will be distributed to you three in the form of official documents after I return to the court. At that time, whether it is an increase in official titles or gold and silver treasures, everything is available. I only hope that you The three of you can continue to serve the imperial court and continue to serve the Great Wei Kingdom."
