People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 123 Retreat, liquidation
Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu, one of them has become the prefect of Jincheng, the other has become the prefect of Hanyang, and at the same time they are also the captain of the Qiang guard, so they are naturally quite satisfied.

As for the other Diqiang chiefs and the bandit leaders, the imperial court was still very embarrassing, and they refused to appoint officials arbitrarily, only willing to reward them with money and silk.

Moreover, the imperial court was probably really poor. They couldn’t give gold and silver, and all they gave were five-bead copper coins. At the same time, they didn’t give silk and satin, and only gave [-] bolts.

The chiefs and leaders of each ministry were given a point. Although they still felt dissatisfied, they did not return empty-handed.

So just three days later, the Liangzhou rebels officially retreated, and they took away everything they could from Chencang City.

In fact, as the gateway to Guanzhong, Chen Cang should not give up directly, it is an important place.

But Li Wenhou, Li Yao, their father and son wanted to return to Jincheng. As for the other chiefs and leaders, including Beigong Boyu, they didn't have any long-term vision, so they were unwilling to send troops to garrison Chencang.

Therefore, this city, as well as the captives of the Han army, were used as a bargaining chip and returned to the Han Dynasty in exchange for benefits.

The army of more than 17, and the people who were coerced, totaled nearly [-] to [-] people. Of course, there were [-] cavalry among them. They stayed behind to guard against the attack of the Han army.

However, the Han army did not attack, they just reoccupied Chencang immediately after the rebels left.

Rescued tens of thousands of Han army captives, including several rebel sieges and the Battle of Lantian Valley, all the captured Han troops were left behind.

The Liangzhou rebellion that broke out in response to the Yellow Turban Uprising has come to an end today.

Ten days later, Hanyang, Ji County.

Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu, the two of them stood at the top of the city, looking inside and outside the city, they still had a sense of accomplishment on their faces, after all, this was the territory they had conquered.

Finally Li Wenhou sighed, he turned his head to look at Beigong Boyu, and said sincerely:
"Boyu, if you want to go back to Jincheng in the future, go back to Jincheng. As long as I am still in Jincheng County, I will definitely not lose a piece of your territory!"

When Beigong Boyu heard this, he was still very happy, and smiled with his hands on his hips:

"Wenhou, I'm not as far-sighted as you are, but Hanyang's climate is warm and the land is fertile. Staying here is much more comfortable than Jincheng. Moreover, An Ding in the north, Beidi, Longxi in the south, and Wudu all have brothers who have fought together. As long as we unite, no one can defeat us!"

Li Wenhou heard the words and nodded:

"You're right, even if the court wants to go back on its word, we can gather troops again at any time!"

After a while of silence, Beigong Boyu spoke again:
"When are you leaving for home?"

Li Wenhou looked to the northwest:
"Let's wait until March. The snow in my hometown probably hasn't melted yet. Send someone back to inform first, and let Jincheng get ready."

Beigong Boyu stroked his beard, although he didn't know what to think, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally said with a smile:

"It just so happened that Ah Li went back with you and asked him to bring his clansmen to Hanyang. By the way, let A Yao and A Yue meet. They are not young anymore, so they should think about starting a family."

Li Wenhou clapped his hands and laughed loudly:
"Don't think about it anymore, I can make the decision for him, we both set a date, and let this matter be done directly!"

After finishing speaking, Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu looked at each other and laughed, their voices were carefree and their breath was long.

At the same time, after the rebels retreated, the court, or Liu Hong, began to deal with the Han army quickly.

The first is to appease the hearts of the army, transfer Huangfusong back to Luoyang, and award General Cheqi, Taiwei, Marquis Huaili, and eight thousand households in Shiyi.

It is to express an attitude, to show that the imperial court attaches great importance to sergeants, and at the same time, it can transfer Huangfu Song from the army.

Huangfusong didn't object, so he accepted the transfer order, left the army, went to Luoyang, and became a chariot general and Taiwei. Suddenly, he was in the limelight.

After Huangfusong took the lead, other meritorious generals, such as Dong Zhuo, such as Zong Yuan, were all made marquises and then transferred from the army.

Another example is Cao Cao, Yuan Shu... who were also sealed as Marquis of the Guannei, some went to the central government, some went to the local government, up to the county guard, the state minister, down to the county magistrate, county lieutenant.

On the one hand, the meritorious generals will be properly settled, and on the other hand, the destroyed local governments in the states and counties will be re-established.

They all have a lot of background, and they are extremely capable, and they can quickly settle down.

It depends on their background and ability to appease the refugees in the country, organize the resumption of production, and revitalize the dilapidated Kanto.

Anyway, they can do it for a while, but they can't do it for a lifetime. When order is restored in various places, whether they will go or stay will be the final decision of the court.

Without these meritorious generals, there were only ordinary sergeants left. The court conferred titles on them wantonly, and at the same time issued notes for fields, and then rewarded them with a small amount of money and silk, so that a large number of Han troops were disbanded on the spot.

Without the chief general, the rest of the Han army can only obey the orders of the court. As for whether the titles and notes given can be allocated to the house and fields, the court doesn’t care.

Don't worry, these people won't care about looking around.

This is the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is the reality!
Of course, in this process, there are actually some episodes...

For example, because Lu Zhi failed to repel the rebels, Chang'an was besieged, the emperor's mausoleum was disturbed, and the prison car entered Beijing again.

For example, after Sun Jian came out of the deep mountains, he found out that the court had made peace with the rebels, so he could only look up to the sky and scream three times for revenge.

Then he caught up with the imperial court to seal meritorious generals and snatched a Guanneihou and a local county magistrate, so he could only go to the post depressingly.

The rebels retreated, and the Han army disbanded...

Liu Hong finally felt safe!
