The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 384 Discussing Merit Rewards
"Thank you brother Gongjin for your words. I will definitely do what you say." Sun Quan knew that Zhou Yu wanted him to establish a good relationship with his elder brother's old ministry, so as to gain the trust of the generals and ministers.

The next day, Li Yuan began to award rewards for meritorious service. He appointed Huang Zhong as governor of Yuzhou, governor of Yuzhou soldiers and horses, and was promoted to general of Zhengxi; As the governor of Jingzhou, the governor of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, he was promoted to the general of Zhengdong; Taishi Ci was promoted to the general of Zhengnan, and he was in charge of Jingnan military affairs.

Zhao Yun repelled Zhou Yu, solved the danger of Xiapi, was promoted to former general, governor of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and continued to be in charge of the Flying Cavalry Army.This time, Zhao Yun was promoted to a former general, which was already a very high official position, ranking third rank, second only to Li Yuan's hussar general, and the highest official position among the five tiger generals, which shows Li Yuan's trust in Zhao Yun.

Wei Yan performed outstandingly in the battle, and was promoted two ranks in a row, promoted to General Annan, and transferred to Kuaiji as the prefect of Kuaiji.Li Yuan knew that there were a lot of Shanyue in Kuaiji, and Shanyue was a great danger to Jiangdong. The reason why Sun Wu in "history" could not develop northward was because of the existence of Shanyue, so Li Yuan sent General Wei Yan guarded Kuaiji to guard against Shanyue's invasion.

When Zhou Yu attacked Xuzhou, Chen Gui made great contributions to Zhao Yun's repelling Zhou Yu. He not only offered Zhao Yun advice, but also prepared food for the flying cavalry. Without Chen Gui's help, Zhao Yun might not have been able to defeat Zhou Yu, but Chen Gui He had already resigned because he was old, so Li Yuan decided to award Chen Gui's merits to Chen Deng. After all, Chen Deng was Chen Gui's son, and it was reasonable to be named on his father's behalf.

Although Chen Dao, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were at fault, Li Yuan did not punish them. After all, their opponent was Zhou Yu, and they could not be blamed completely for being captured by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was much stronger than them, so Li Yuan let them continue Garrison Guangling and Langya.

Cheng Yu was originally the prefect of Lujiang, but because of lack of manpower, Li Yuan decided to transfer Cheng Yu to Wu County as the prefect. Cheng Yu was naturally qualified for this position and could develop Wu County even better. There is another very important reason why Yu was transferred to Wu Jun, and that was to deal with Shanyue.

There are many Shanyue in the Jiangdong area, and they often appear in Kuaiji, Wujun, Danyang, Luling and Yuzhang. Wei Yan is in charge of guarding Kuaiji, but Li Yuan knows that it is not the best strategy to use force against Shanyue all the time, because Shanyue lives in the deep mountains. They have no interest in the land of the Han people, they only plunder food and supplies, so every time they rob food, they immediately run back to the mountains to hide, and wait until the next time there is no food to come out to rob, which is really annoying.

Li Yuanjun is not familiar with the terrain of deep mountains. If he enters the mountain rashly, let’s not say whether he can find Shanyue. Even if he finds them, he may not be able to defeat them. Cheng Yu was sent to garrison Wu County mainly to develop the relationship with Shanyue. He wanted to learn from Zhuge Liang's trick to Meng Huo. Only in this way can the problem of Shanyue be truly resolved.

In "historical history" the Jiangdong army had no time to develop northward because of mutual consumption with the Shanyue people all the year round. Li Yuan didn't want to waste too much effort on the Shanyue people, so he decided to use the method of national integration to resolve this contradiction. The thinking is absolutely avant-garde. The ancients often said that "people who are not my race must have a different heart." Li Yuan's approach and other counselors such as Xi Zhicai disagreed, but Li Yuan decided to use it on his own and asked Cheng Yu to carry out this strategy .

Now that Li Yuan has made up his mind that it is useless for everyone to oppose it, and they all know that Li Yuan is not an impulsive person, there must be a special reason for doing so, so Cheng Yu decided to take up this burden and develop the relationship between the Han people and Shanyue.

After Li Yuan transferred Cheng Yu to Wujun, there was a vacancy for the prefect of Lujiang. After careful consideration, he decided to let Wenpin be the prefect of Lujiang, and he was promoted to General Anton to take charge of the Lujiang navy. He believed that no one could be more suitable for this position than Wenpin.Not long after Wenpin surrendered to Li Yuan, he did not expect to be able to assume such an important position so soon, and he was very grateful to Li Yuan in his heart.

Wuling is a very important position. Sending troops to the north can go directly to Jiangling, and then go west to go all the way to Xishu. Li Yuan will attack Xishu sooner or later, so he "reluctantly cut his love" and sent Gao Shun to Wuling and promoted him to be the general of Anxi. The post of prefect of Wuling will be able to go west when the time is right in the future.

Although Huo Jun was still young, Li Yuan knew his talent and lacked talents in the army, so he decided to make an exception to promote Huo Jun to be the prefect of Guiyang, and promoted him to the general of the army. Prefect Yang actually has intentions.

Yuan Huan was originally the five sense organs of Lujiang. He has been diligent and conscientious in Lujiang. Li Yuan will focus on developing this place.Later, Li Yuan named Wang Wei the captain of Changshui, and led troops to garrison Moling.

Zang Hong performed well in this battle. Li Yuan temporarily appointed him as the prefect of Yuzhang to guard Yuzhang to guard against Shanyue, and he will replace him when there is a more suitable candidate.

Then Li Yuan asked Yi Ji to be the prefect of Danyang. Yi Ji originally followed Liu Biao. After Liu Biao was defeated, he turned to Sun Ce. Now that Sun Ce was defeated again, he surrendered to Li Yuan. He still can't fully trust Yiji, but he still boldly appoints Yiji to serve as Danyang prefect. His move also surprised Yiji, but Yiji still accepted the award.

To say that everyone is convinced of all the awards, but everyone is not convinced by the last award, that is, Li Yuan made Lu Xun the prefect of Changsha, controlling the military and political power in Changsha. Everyone did not understand this move, because Lu Xun was too young and This battle did not make any contribution, but he was suddenly promoted to the prefect of Changsha, and everyone was inevitably dissatisfied. Some people even wondered whether Li Yuan had taken a fancy to Lu Xun, a handsome boy...

In fact, everyone in Xiapi knows that Li Yuan takes special care of Lu Xun, and Xi Zhicai also knows that Li Yuan did this because he valued Lu Xun's talent. He has always been very accurate in people and has never misjudged people, so he has no objection to Li Yuan's promotion of Lu Xun as the prefect of Changsha. He knows that Li Yuan did this to make Lu Xun follow him more wholeheartedly, and secondly to exercise Lu Xun's ability.
