Chapter 598: Magic Pill

"General Shenwei, defeated Goguryeo in the first battle, and opened up the territory for my great Han. Here is a toast to the general!"

Just when Shang Ji was thinking about how to deal with Feng Wuwei's training cheats, Lu Bu who was not far away suddenly raised his wine glass and said loudly.

"I'm waiting to congratulate the general!"

When the others saw this, although they felt a little upset, they still congratulated Shang Ji together with Lu Bu.

"You are so kind, I am ashamed to accept it. Guarding the border and defending the country is the duty of this general. The false king of Goguryeo killed the king and humiliated his sister-in-law. The people and gods were all angry, so I led the army to attack him. There is also the Goguryeo king Dongchuan who admired the heavenly dynasty and voluntarily offered land to surrender. It's God bless the big man, don't dare to take credit for it!"

Shang Ji reacted immediately, raised his glass and said loudly.

"The majesty of the general is seen all over the world. Rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing others is the way of a sage. The general has made such extraordinary achievements, and the general is not enough to reward the general. Please accept the order!"

After Shang Ji finished speaking, Cai Yong stood up from his seat, took out a yellow imperial decree from his cuff, held it high and said.

"I respectfully ask for the holy will!"

Hearing this, Shang Ji stepped down from the main seat, bowed slightly, and other officials and envoys also stood up and stood up. Although most of them are warlords from the separatist regime, after all, they have not broken their skins, and they still need to maintain a certain degree of respect for the imperial decree.

One point that needs to be explained is that in the Han Dynasty, except for a few grand occasions such as offering sacrifices to the heavens, there was no need to kneel down, and there was no need to kneel down to receive imperial edicts.

"Old Goguryeo Dongchuan Wang Gaolingnan, who respected heaven and knew fate, respected and loved the people, and had the merit of donating soil. He named Gaolingnan as the Marquis of Guiyi, rewarded ten thousand gold, thousands of healthy servants, hundreds of beauties, one manor, and one hundred thousand fertile fields. mu."

"Foreign minister... oh no, Xiao Hou thanked Heaven for his kindness!"

Hearing this, the high-collared man who was making soy sauce silently in the corner got up immediately, walked in front of Cai Yong in three or two steps, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and shouted.

In any case, the mascot of the turtleneck man is very competent.

Cai Yong helped the high-collared man up with a smile, and comforted him softly: "The Marquis of Guiyi knows the general situation and knows the destiny. His Majesty is very happy to volunteer the soil to surrender. From now on, the Marquis of Guiyi will also assist Shangpingzhou in governing the district and the real estate. Fan and Lintun counties!"

Daifang, Zhenfan, and Lintun are the three counties newly divided from the old Goguryeo land, and the names were all decided by Shang Ji himself. Obviously, the imperial court would no longer be in trouble with Shang Ji in this regard, and happily named it according to Shang Ji's meaning.

It's just that the population and the number of cities in these three counties are far from being called a normal county. Many princes secretly laughed at Shang Ji for his great success and put money on his face.

"Must be, Xiaohou must be loyal to the big man and General Shang!"

The high-collared man was a little apprehensive, his head was clicking like a chicken.

Hearing the words of the high-collared man being loyal to Shang Ji, Cai Yong's expression froze, but he quickly recovered and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the part that needs to be performed by himself is over, the high-collar man retreated in a timely manner, leaving the stage to the real protagonist.

"Yongning Township Marquis, Pingzhou Mu, and Duliao General Shang Ji have historically made military exploits and are prestigious. They have made great contributions to suppressing the Wuhuan rebellion, eradicating the rebellious rulers of the vassal states, and guarding the vassal screen to protect the homeland. Reward ten gold coins Ten thousand, one hundred beauties, ten swords, one hundred strong bows, and three sets of armor. Jin Jue was the Marquis of Yongning, Feng Shangji was named General Zhenbei, with a rank of two thousand stones, a silver seal with green ribbons, and the military affairs of the two prefectures of Pingping and Youzhou. Also Pingzhou Mu. The newly attached lands of Zhenfan, Daifang, and Lintun counties were placed under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou, and all military and political affairs were handed over to General Zhenbei to take care of them. The imperial court is fine. Here it is!"

"boom!"

As soon as Cai Yong finished speaking, the hall fell into a commotion, and the representatives of Ding Yuan, Gongsun Zan and other forces suddenly changed their colors.

Rewards such as gold, beauties, swords, and treasure armor are nothing, they are all regular rewards for generals. Even purely in terms of quantity, these rewards are obviously not comparable to Shang Ji's military exploits.

If such a great achievement was made before the formation of the separatist regime, the reward would have to be multiplied three to five times to justify it.

As for the promotion of Yongning Township Marquis to Yongning Marquis, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but the position of General Zhenbei will cost lives!

In fact,

Before that, there was no such position as General Zhenbei, only General Zhengbei, who was at the same level as General Zhengxi that Cao Cao wanted to be in his early years.

In history, General Zhenbei was established during the Three Kingdoms period, but now it is 20 or 30 years earlier.

Judging from the grade given in the imperial decree, it is not particularly high, but what is terrible is his function - to take charge of the military affairs of Youer Prefecture!

After this position, from a legal point of view, both Gongsun Zan and Ding Yuan became Shang Ji's subordinates. If you want to get involved in Youzhou affairs in the future, it will become logical.

Of course, with the current situation, it would be wishful thinking to take down Gongsun Zan and Ding Yuanna with the title of General Zhenbei, but with this righteousness in hand, everything will be much easier in the future.

In addition, all officials in the three counties of Zhenfan, Daifang, and Lintun were appointed by Shang Ji himself, which also set a precedent.

So far, although the separatist rule of the princes has initially taken shape, officials at the level of county guards are still appointed by the imperial court.

Sun Jian bullied the Wuling prefect next door so much that he dared not leave the prefect's mansion, but Sun Jian didn't dare to change another Wuling prefect rashly.

Similarly, the prefects of Xuantu, Liaoxi, and Changli in Pingzhou are almost becoming puppets in Shangji, but Shangji also dare not change the prefect without authorization.

The prefect of two thousand stones is still a red line that cannot be touched under the current situation. No one dares to easily try to break the unspoken rules.

But today, Liu Bian personally decreed that Shang Ji was legally empowered to appoint the three prefectures on his own. Although they are three counties that are just a joke, the significance is also extraordinary!

Many representatives of the princes looked at Shang Ji with strange expressions on their faces, and Zhang Yang and Guan Jing even looked at each other. They had already reached a very tacit agreement on the strategic plan to jointly fight against business!

Under everyone's strange eyes, Shang Ji took a step forward and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty Hong En!"

After finishing speaking, he took the imperial decree from Cai Yong, and at the same time, a system prompt sounded in Shang Ji's ear.

"Congratulations player Shangji, your official position has been promoted to General Zhenbei, and your title has been promoted to Marquis of Yongning! You have gained 50,000 reputation points."

[Zhenbei General]: In charge of conquest and rebellion, and guarding the Quartet, has the right to manage the military affairs of the two prefectures of Youping, launch wars within the two prefectures, and reduce the rate of decline in popular support by 50%. On the premise that your division is famous, your army's combat effectiveness in Youping and Erzhou will increase by 10%. All Han faction troops in the two prefectures who fight with you will continue to be punished by a drop in morale, which will increase the probability of the hostile forces and generals surrendering in the two prefectures of Youping. Comes with official skills [Compulsory Conscription], [Quick Conscription], [Quick Training], and [Order Serenity]. Comes with a special unit [Zhenbei Army].

I glanced at the attributes of General Zhenbei, but it was not as strong as I imagined. Just as Shang Ji expected, it is purely a dream to let Gongsun Zan and Ding Yuan be captured without fighting by relying on the title of General Zhenbei!

However, the three skills attached to him are very practical. Mandatory conscription can obtain soldiers for free at the cost of greatly reducing popular support, while quick conscription and training can greatly increase the speed of conscription and training, which is very useful in some emergency situations.

Commanding Youping is interesting. You can directly issue orders to the military generals in the entire territory of Youping. As for whether they will obey, only God knows!

As for the attached special unit Zhenbei Army, Shang Ji glanced at it and gave a rubbish evaluation!

A mere mysterious low-grade special unit really can't be entered into the eyes of businessmen!

It is estimated that the special arms attached to the official position of the highest-ranking general, the general, can arouse the interest of Shang Ji, and the others are rubbish!

"Congratulations, General!"

In the strange atmosphere, Lu Bu reacted first, cupped his fist at Shang Ji, and said loudly.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted!" Immediately afterwards, the officials of Pingzhou also reacted and shouted with joy on their faces.

"Happy and happy, I can't have today without the support of you, and I will not return today if I am not drunk with you!"

Although the official position in the Han Dynasty will definitely become more and more difficult in the future, it is a happy event to be promoted, and Shang Ji happily accepted the congratulations from everyone.

"Drink, everyone, congratulations to the big man today, and congratulations to His Majesty!"

Turning around, looking at the princes and envoys with not very good-looking faces, Shang Ji smiled and raised his glass to invite.

"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to the great man!"

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, the messengers still raised their glasses. A cup of bitter wine entered their throats, and only they knew how it tasted.

"The general is promoted, and Bu can't congratulate him. I just give this to the general!"

After Shang Ji returned to his seat, Lu Bu came to Shang Ji's side, took out a small box, and handed it to Shang Ji as if offering a treasure.

"Oh? To be able to work hard and give it to Fengxian himself, I think it must be something extraordinary, I am looking forward to it!"

Shang Ji smiled slightly, took the box, and opened it under Lu Bu's expectant eyes.

There wasn't much in the small box, just five or six pages of paper, Shang Ji took it out and was a little surprised.
