Chapter 92 The First Meritor of the Han Dynasty

"ah!"

A burst of exclamations sounded, and the important civil and military officials such as Shen Gong, Zhou Yafu, Zhufu Yan, and Dong Zhongshu all looked surprised.

The Han Dynasty has been established for decades, with countless heroes, including many well-known ones, including Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Han Xin, who are known as the "Three Heroes". They are not as enthroned as Zhou Yang at one time.

Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang once said that "the Zifang chose 30,000 households in Qi land", which was the greatest reward to the heroes. However, Zhang Liang refused and did not receive the title, but instead received the title of Chenliu, so he was called "Mr. Liu". Once, it should have become the most important reward in the history of the Han Dynasty, but it did not become a fact.

Emperor Wu of Han was another 30,000 households in the history of the Han Dynasty, which was amazing. If Zhou Yang received it, this would be the first reward for 30,000 households in the history of the Han Dynasty to be rewarded at one time. Shen Gong and his friends looked at Zhou Yang and were a little confused, and Zhou Yang might not accept it.

"Emperor, although I have made great contributions, I should not be rewarded with such a generous reward. I also asked the emperor to take back his life." Zhou Yang was also shocked. This time, Zhou Yang made great contributions and rewards were inevitable. He did not expect that such a heavy reward would be such a heavy reward. The fiefs of 30,000 households were dizzy.

It is difficult enough for Wanhuhou, Wanhuhou, to have ten thousand households of fiefs, and it is amazing to have 30,000 households at once.

"Brother-in-law, even if you give such a reward, you will not be able to achieve your merit!"

Emperor Wu of Han shook his head and said, "The victory in Longcheng is unprecedented. There is only one great victory in the history of Chinese history in the past three thousand years! After this battle, the Huns can no longer cause disaster! The biggest victory of this battle is that it is an annihilation battle, not a defeat war! If you don't annihilate nearly two million Xiongnus in one battle, but let the Huns escape. Not to mention escaping one million, even if you escape for 400,000 or 500,000, it is also an amazing disaster. If the Han Dynasty wants to eradicate it, it will cost a lot of money and food, and many soldiers will be killed and injured. If you plan properly and wipe out the Huns, you will not only make great contributions, but also have immeasurable merits. How many soldiers will survive because of this?"

The greatest significance of the Dragon City Battle is not to kill people, accumulate corpses like mountains, and blood flows through rivers. It is to leave no future troubles, which is the most important part of the Long City victory.

Think about why the Han Dynasty's household registration was cut in half in history? After all, it was because the "Decisive Battle in Mobei" left huge hidden dangers. Although the magnificent songs of "Shanyu Escape at Night" and "Fenglang Juxu" were praised by later generations, the Shanyu escaped after all, and many of the Xiongnu's defeated generals also escaped. They were unwilling to fail, and they fought with the Han Dynasty, used the specialties of the Huns to fight guerrillas with the Han Dynasty, thus the Han Dynasty paid a heavy price.

You should know that the Huns were masters of guerrilla warfare. If they did not fight head-on with the Han army, but adopted guerrilla warfare, it would be difficult to deal with. This has been proven by history. After the decisive battle in Mobei, the Huns changed their strategy and did not fight head-on with the Han Dynasty, but guerrilla warfare, and the Han Dynasty paid a high price.

The battle in Longcheng did not leave any hidden dangers. With this point, it was completely worthy of rewarding Zhouyang's 30,000 households with fiefs.

If the Huns were allowed to escape forty or five hundred thousand, and use the vastness of the desert to deal with the Han Dynasty, although the Han army had strong combat power, they could not find the Huns. In the long run, the money and food consumed by the Han Dynasty and the soldiers who were killed and injured would be an astonishing number.

"The emperor's words are reasonable!" Mr. Shen, Dong Zhongshu, and the master Yan agreed in unison.

"This..." The great victory in Longcheng was the best result that the Han Dynasty could strive for. Without leaving a single Hun, the desert was peaceful. Emperor Wu of Han was right, and Zhou Yang couldn't help but hesitate.

"Brother-in-law, there are less than 50,000 households with fiefs, and it's still early to get 100,000 households with fiefs!" Emperor Wu of Han lowered his voice, only he and Zhou Yangneng heard it.

"100,000 households?" Although Zhou Yang was very brave, he was shocked. In Chinese history, were there any heroes with a fief of 100,000 households?

Emperor Wu of Han saw Zhou Yang's surprise in his eyes, blinking his eyes and without saying anything.

Zhou Yang pondered slightly and said, "I thank the emperor for his great reward!"

"That's right!" Emperor Wu of Han nodded slightly.

"Brother-in-law, you are the number one hero of the Han Dynasty!" Emperor Wu of Han's bright eyes flashed, and he was very excited. He raised his thumb and praised: "The achievements made by brother-in-law are worse than those of founding heroes such as Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Chen Ping, and Zhou Bo!"

As soon as these 30,000 households were counted, Zhou Yang had more than 40,000 households, which was nearly 50,000 households. There were so many founding heroes in the Han Dynasty, but none of them could have so many fiefs. Zhou Yang’s contribution was so great that he was indeed the number one hero of the Han Dynasty.

Although Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Han Xin were known as the Three Masters, they had no achievements in dealing with the Huns. Needless to say, Xiao He was a great housekeeper, who was good at governing the country, but he had never done anything with military and war. Zhang Liang was weak and could not lead troops to the battlefield. Han Xin was an expert in using military and war. When Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang set up a 300,000 army in the north, he asked him to go to the expedition, but he pretended to be sick and did not make any achievements.

Only Zhou Yang sang triumphantly in dealing with the Huns, and the victories were heard frequently, and they won battles again and again. In the end, the battle of Longcheng defeated the Huns and fulfilled the thousand-year wish of China.

Such a wonderful achievement is like the towering Kunlun, which makes countless people look up, admire, and imitate it effectively!

"Congratulations to the Grandmaster!"

"Congratulations to the Grand Marshal!"

Mr. Shen, Master Yan, Dong Zhongshu and others came forward to congratulate Zhou Yang. The first hero of the Han Dynasty was born, how can we not congratulate? Zhou Yang was still so humble in giving gifts, winning everyone's favor.

Zhou Yafu stroked his forehead, his face flushed, and kept muttering: "Oh my God! Oh my God! The fief of nearly 50,000 households! There has never been a great man!"

Princess Nangong's wonderful eyes were full of smiles, and she looked at Zhou Yang with great pride. Zhou Yang's military achievements were shot with one sword and one shot, not by nepotism, and is there anything more proud than marrying such a heroic husband?

The Queen Mother-in-law looked at Zhou Yang and smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she looked at her, the more she became cute. Although she was a son-in-law of the Tian family, wealth and glory were not a problem. However, if Zhou Yang really achieved wealth and glory through nepotism, no one dared to say anything, but she also lacked something. Zhou Yang relied on her own efforts to gain wealth and glory. Is that a hero of Zhou Yang, and is there something more joy to have this good son-in-law?

"Li Guang heard the title!" Emperor Wu of Han continued to give the title.

"The last one is here!" Li Guang took a step forward and was full of energy. For him, rewards were of good deeds, and it was the best to defeat the Huns. This reward was a recognition of his efforts, and it also meant fulfilling his long-cherished wish, and with a special spirit.

"In this battle, the Flying General made a great contribution and captured the Zhongxingshu alive! The fief increased by 15,000 households!" Emperor Wu of Han swept around Li Guang's body with bright eyes, and saw Li Guang holding his head up and holding the reward as if he was on the battlefield, which was very satisfied.

"Ah! Ten thousand households? Too many? Isn't it? Master, can you lose some?" Li Guang was surprised at first, stunned for a moment before he realized that he was busy bargaining.

"Yeah!" Emperor Wu of Han looked slightly dark: "This reward deserves your merit! This is a military and national matter, and you cannot bargain! Do you think it is a purchase of vegetables at Caishikou, so you can bargain?"

Regarding the rewards of merit and relevant systems, Li Guang had to receive the reward: "Thank you, the emperor!"

"Get back!" Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand, and Li Guang retreated, his face full of joy and a red face. The increase in fifteen thousand households was beyond his expectations, but it also made him happy. This was a good thing after all.

"Cheng Buzhi listened to the seal!" Emperor Wu of Han rewarded him again.

"I'm here!" Cheng Bushi took a step forward, and like Li Guang, he held his head high and raised his chest.

"General Cheng made extraordinary achievements and increased his fief by 15,000 households!" Emperor Wu of Han gave another heavy reward.

"Thank you, the emperor!" With Li Guang's lesson, Cheng Buzhi did not refuse, and thanked him for his gratitude and retreated.

"Wish Qing listened to Feng!" Emperor Wu of Han's bright eyes slipped around Wei Qing, and looked at Princess Pingyang again. He was a little naughty and gently stuck out his tongue. Princess Pingyang's pretty face was flying, but her eyes were particularly bright. She stared at Wei Qing and could no longer move.

Wei Qing'angzang's husband will make this contribution again, and there will be no problem in marrying Princess Pingyang. The premise is that Cao Shou, the Marquis of Pingyang, will die soon.

"I'm here!" Wei Qing took a step forward.

"Wei Qing, you are so heroic, proficient in strategies, and well-versed in the art of military use!" Emperor Wu of Han liked this brother-in-law the more he looked at him, and a smile appeared on his face: "The fifteen thousand households have increased!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Qing was very excited and bowed to thank him. After stretching his body, his eyes involuntarily fell on Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang is a golden branch and jade leaf. It was a bit unrealistic for him to hold a beauty back in the past. Now, he has made great contributions, and his status has changed. If he wants to marry a princess, no one can say no.

As for when Cao Shou died, Wei Qing was not in a hurry. He was determined to marry Princess Pingyang, and he could wait.

Emperor Wu of Han gave rewards one by one, Gongsun He added 13,000 households in his fief, Gongsun Jian 11,000 households, Zhang Tong added 10,000 households in his fief, Qin Yi 10,000 households in his fief, and Qin Wuhui 12,000 households in his fief.

After Zhang Tong received the reward, he was extremely happy and excited. As a descendant of Zhang Liang, his family was dilapidated and no different from ordinary people. He never dreamed that he would revival so quickly.

Another person who was deeply moved was Qin Wuhui. He was originally a descendant of the Qin army, but he never expected that he could become a marquis of Wanhu in the Han Dynasty. After receiving the reward, he looked up to the sky, murmured softly, and prayed to the ancestors' spirits in the sky, and they could finally rest in peace.

"Nie Yi, you found out that the Huns went south is extremely valuable! You were awarded the title of Guannei Marquis and had a fief of ten thousand households!" Emperor Wu of Han admired Nie Yi very much.

Nie Yi, a famous spy in Chinese history and the planner of the "Mayi Incident", ended in a tragedy. Now, he is a Marquis, and is still a Marquis of Wanhu. These are the "butterfly effect" that Zhou Yang came to the Han Dynasty.

When it comes to killing enemies and beheadings, Nie Yi is very rare. However, without the information he found, the Han army would not have had such a great victory. Zhou Yang and others recognized this reward. The reason why Emperor Wu of Han became a famous emperor in Chinese history was clearly his major advantage.

Su Jian, Lu Lizhi, Lu Bode and others were all promoted to generals and were granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, with fiefs ranging from 5,000 to 9,000.

In this battle, there were many generals who became Wanhu Hou, with as many as a dozen. In one day, so many Wanhu Hou Hou appeared, which was the first time in the decades of the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

How brilliant was the victory in Longcheng? More than a dozen marquises of Wanhu were expected to appear.

However, there is only one who became the marquis, that is Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang's achievements are obvious to all, planning and commanding the Battle of Longcheng and winning an unprecedented victory. This is just a visible contribution, and there will be more invisible contributions. If Zhou Yang had not won a favorable opportunity for the Han Dynasty a few years ago, if Zhou Yang had promoted the military and political reform of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would not have had such a great victory!

In terms of merit, Zhou Yang was unparalleled at the moment; in terms of contribution, he was unparalleled in the court, and Zhou Yang was granted the title of Marquis of the Legislative Yuan, which was a matter of course, and no one dared to say that he was not a word.

The Marquis of Lie is the highest title in the Han Dynasty. Since the death of the founding heroes of Xiao He and Zhang Liang, they have been empty and no one is the Marquis of Lie. According to the Han Dynasty, meritorious titles can be inherited by descendants, but they must be reduced to a higher rank. After Xiao He and Zhang Liang inherited the titles, they changed from Marquis of Lie to Marquis of Guannei. Therefore, there were no Marquis of Lie for decades.

At this point, after decades, another marquis was released in the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Zhou Yang's achievements surpassed Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others, and became the true number one hero of the Han Dynasty!

There were too many meritorious soldiers. Emperor Wu of Han gave the reward for a long time before he finished it.

After the reward was completed, congratulations sounded and cheered. It is of course a good thing to make meritorious contributions and receive rewards. What made the soldiers happy was that their efforts and hard work finally received the best recognition.

Why is rewarding merits and punishments so important is that it is a recognition of the merits of the soldiers. In history, not rewarding merits often lead to major disasters, and this is the reason.

Emperor Wu of Han looked at the cheering soldiers and couldn't help but straighten his chest. It felt very good to be an emperor!

After a long time, the cheers stopped. Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and the soldiers came to him with the monarch and ministers of the military ministers. Emperor Wu of Han opened his eyes wide and stared at the military ministers of the military ministers of the military ministers, with a solemn face, neither happy nor angry.

This shocked Junchen Shanyu. How would Emperor Wu of Han deal with him? It seemed unlikely that he would be killed. If he wanted to kill, he would be killed just now, and there was no need to wait until now. If he didn't kill him, he would torture him, which was very likely. But how to torture him? Junchen Shanyu wanted to know the most, but he figured it out and couldn't figure it out, so he could only be worried.

Emperor Wu of Han had to torture him too many ways. Junchen Shanyu felt his heart beating and almost popped out of his chest.

"Don't worry! I won't kill you!" After staring for a while, Emperor Wu of Han finally spoke.

Not killing him was expected by the Junchen Shanyu. However, after being personally affirmed by Emperor Wu of Han, he still had no slight relief. On the contrary, his mood became even heavier.

"You are Shanyu. Even if you become a prisoner, you can't treat you so badly. Look, let's just give you a marquis!" Emperor Wu of Han's voice was not high, but there was no doubt.

The two words "Famous Mausoleum?" contain endless surprises, which come from the military minister Shanyu, and a group of Han dynasty ministers.

Shanyu was the most hated person of the Han people. Even if the military minister Shanyu fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty, it would be certain that he would be humiliated. Emperor Wu of Han actually wanted to be appointed as his marquis. This was too unbelievable. It would be impossible to be surprised by the Han Dynasty ministers.

"call!"

The opposite of the surprise of the Han ministers was that the Huns all breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, they were not worried about the military minister Shanyu, but were considering their lives. Emperor Wu of Han wanted to be appointed as the marquis of Shanyu, so he would not be bad for them, and hope arose in his heart.

Only Zhou Yang, Shen Gong, Dong Zhongshu, Zhufu Yan, Zhang Piqiang, Chao Cuo and others pursed their lips tightly and looked at Emperor Wu of Han with interest. With Emperor Wu of Han's shrewdness, it would not be so simple, and the following would be more exciting.

"I will give you a marquis! Now, in the Han Dynasty, only my brother-in-law is a marquis, and you are also considered one." Emperor Wu of Han pondered slightly, and his words were even more amazing.

"Liehou?" Another scream of exclamation sounded.

Lihou, the highest title in the Han Dynasty, how many people wanted to become Lihou, but it was unavailable. The military minister Shanyu was obviously a prisoner, but he became Lihou. What's the point?

"Emperor!" The Han Dynasty ministers were about to advise, but they were obliged to stop Emperor Wu of Han and had to say nothing.

The Hun ministers were very happy and excited. The military minister Shanyu became the marquis of the Han Dynasty. They did not want to be granted marquis, so it would be no problem to have a good life, right?

"I... confer me as a marquis?" The military minister Shanyu seemed to dream, his eyes staring like a copper bell. He was the Shanyu of the Huns. He could save his life when he fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty. He was already protected by the great Kunlun God. How dare he hope to be a marquis? He would rather believe that there would be another defeat in Longcheng than believe that this matter was true.

However, Emperor Wu of Han was serious and definitely not lying, and he dared not disbelieve it.

"You have no joke!" Emperor Wu of Han emphasized: "I said that you were appointed as the Marquis of Liehou, and that is, the Marquis of Liehou. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Shanyu of the Huns tried to enter the Central Plains, and they have been looking at the south, hoping to obtain the Central Plains. For thousands of years, their delusions have not come true. You have not only come to China, but also to Chang'an, the capital of China. Just be the Marquis of Wangnan! Haha!"

Emperor Wu of Han could no longer hold back his words, and laughed to the sky, which was extremely comfortable.

"Wang Nanhou?" A scream rang out.
To be continued...
