The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 212: Conferring a Reward to the Emperor
Li Yuan didn't wait for a long time. The news that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao defeated Han Xian and Yang Feng respectively came more than a month later. Duyue couldn't hold on, and both Han Xian and Yang Feng were beheaded on the spot.

In the palace, Emperor Xian met Li Yuan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in person, and Emperor Xian was very happy because they defeated Emperor Xian's serious concern.

"Hahahaha, the three lovers are really capable. They defeated Yang Feng and others in only one month. They are the pillars of the country!" Emperor Xian was bullied enough by Han Xian and Yang Feng in the past. A bad breath.

"Your Majesty, I have a gift for you." Yuan Shao said, clasping his fists.

"What gift?" Emperor Xian was curious.

"Send it up." Yuan Shao clapped his hands, and one of his subordinates came up with two boxes. Yuan Shao opened it, and inside were two bloody heads, one belonged to Han Xian and the other belonged to Yang Feng.

"What!" Emperor Xian was so frightened that his face paled. He didn't expect Yuan Shao to give him two heads. Although he hated Yang Feng and Han Xian, he had never seen a severed head. Now the two heads are in front of him. , made him feel so sick that he almost couldn't help but vomited it out.

All the officials in the court were like this, and they were taken aback by the head in Yuan Shao's hands. Most of these people were civil servants, and they had never seen such a bloody scene. Many people covered their faces and dared not watch. Yuan Shao was very disgusted.

"Prefect Yuan, Your Majesty knows your kindness, but Your Majesty is young and hasn't seen these things yet, please put them away quickly." Dong Cheng quickly asked Yuan Shao to put them away. If Yuan Shao hadn't made great contributions and held military power, he would definitely be on the spot rebuke.

"Yes!" Yuan Shao put the head away and asked the soldiers to take it down. At the same time, he felt very disdainful towards the crowd, thinking that it was just a head, so why all the fuss? No wonder these people were bullied so badly by Yang Feng and Han Xian , I have no courage at all.

Li Yuan and Cao Cao also look down on the people in court. Their opinion is the same as Yuan Shao. These people are used to being pampered. They don't know what war and blood are. Even if they face Han Xian and Yang Feng, no one dares To resist, as the most powerful group of people in the Han Dynasty, they are so courageous, it is no wonder that the Han Dynasty will go downhill.

Of course, although Li Yuan and Cao Cao despise the people in court, they are still smarter and will not take out heads like Yuan Shao. Doing so will only offend the court officials and Emperor Xian. In fact, many of these officials are new recruits. , because Emperor Xian was hunted down by Li Jue and Guo Si when he returned to Luoyang in the east, and the officials were killed and injured countless times, so the current court officials have no knowledge and qualifications.

"By the way, General Li, Captain Cao and I have defeated our respective enemies, but when I entered the city, I saw that your soldiers and horses seemed to have never experienced war. Didn't you take action against Zhang Ji?" Yuan Shao led the army back When I saw that Li Yuan's camp hadn't moved at all, I felt a little strange in my heart, so I asked Li Yuan, not only him, but also Cao Cao.

"To tell you the truth, Zhang Ji is not what you imagined. He is dedicated to the Han Dynasty, respects His Majesty, and is very knowledgeable. After some persuasion from me, he already knows the mistakes he made and is willing to correct himself. Wrong, he has promised me to go to Xiapi with me and accept my surveillance, if he does anything wrong, I will definitely bring his head to see His Majesty in person.”

Although Li Yuan didn't say it clearly, any smart person could tell that Zhang Ji had surrendered to Li Yuan. His remark really surprised Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and made them both surprised and angry.

"Li Yuan, you..." Yuan Shao was a little annoyed, thinking that it was no wonder Li Yuan chose to deal with Zhang Ji at that time. It turned out that he had planned to do so, and it was really a mistake.

"Hahahaha, General Li is really brilliant, I'm far behind." Cao Cao laughed loudly. Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't want it to affect his relationship with Li Yuan, so he just laughed it off.

"Lieutenant Cao, Governor Yuan, you attack Han Xian and Yang Feng, and lose troops and generals. This merit should be credited to you." Li Yuan smiled slightly, and when Yuan Shao was angry, he immediately put a high hat on the opponent.

"Hmph." Yuan Shao snorted coldly, knowing that it was not time to quarrel with Li Yuan, so he didn't say any more.

"General Li is humble." Cao Cao clasped his fists.

"The three lovers have contributed to me in solving my worries and problems. Yuan Aiqing, I named you a chariot general and concurrently served as the governor of Youzhou and Jizhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Shao was very happy. Although he had already controlled Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou, he had not been formally rewarded. Now Emperor Xian officially appointed him as the governor of Youzhou and Jizhou. As an official position, he can even be compared to the Sangong, second only to the general, the governor, the general of the guard, and the general of the hussars among the military officers.

"Cao Aiqing, I appointed you as a general of the Chinese army and concurrently as the governor of Yanzhou and Qingzhou. I hope you will continue to work hard and don't let me down." Emperor Xian continued to reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Cao said gratefully.The generals of the Chinese army belong to the second rank, slightly lower than the chariot generals.

"Li Aiqing, I named you General Hussars, and concurrently the Inspector of Xuzhou and Yuzhou." These awards were taught by Emperor Xian in advance by Dong Cheng. This was done to win people's hearts. The title of reward happened to be controlled by Li Yuan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Territory, if Cao Cao's title is granted to Yuan Shao's territory, I am afraid that the two will fight on the spot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yuan clasped his fists and said.General Hussars ranks first among the second-rank officials, slightly higher than Generals Chariots. It can be seen that Li Yuan is the most important in Dong Cheng's heart.

All the officials in the court were envious of Li Yuan and the three of them. Such a high position was what they longed for. However, they had no military power in their hands, so it was not easy to climb to such a high position.

After the award was completed, Emperor Xian looked at Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng nodded in understanding, walked out and said: "Everyone, Luoyang is dilapidated and unsuitable for His Majesty to live in, and it will take several years to repair it, so Your Majesty decided to move to the next one temporarily. Pi, I also ask all the officials to pack up their belongings, and I will go to Xiapi together in three days."

Everyone couldn't help discussing after hearing the words, some were surprised, some were happy, some were panicked, anyway, everyone had their own ideas, because they had just moved back to Luoyang not long ago, and now they were going to move again, many people couldn't accept it.

Although Yuan Shao was surprised, he did not object, because his counselor Ju Shou had already told him about it and suggested that Emperor Xian move to Yecheng, but Guo Tu said that if Emperor Xian went to Yecheng, they would be bound by Emperor Xian, so Yuan Shao decided to move to Yecheng. Will drop the idea.
