Chapter 121
After the four heard that Xi Zhicai was about to arrive, they all showed expressions of surprise.
As long as Xi Zhicai arrived, there would be someone to do these headache-inducing things.
Asking them, these rough guys, to handle this matter was truly a bit difficult for them.
After the four heard the satisfactory answer, they all left happily.
Looking at the four who left happily, Zhang Liao couldn't help but shake his head.
Back then, he had worried a lot about such things.
Since Li Su and the four came, Zhang Liao had thrown all these things to them.
At the beginning, the four were exhausted.
Thinking back then, they had never been so tired even when fighting on the battlefield.
I didn't expect to be stumped by handling government affairs.
"Now, I have finally successfully completed His Majesty's task!"
"After the military advisor arrives and arranges the affairs of Linrong City, I can return to the capital in triumph!"
"I haven't seen the others for so long; I wonder what realm they have cultivated to?"
"Hehehe, presumably, my strength at the third layer of the Postnatal Realm should be able to rank in the top three!"
At this time, Zhang Liao, who was in the hall, couldn't help but think with his thoughts rolling.
……
"Your Majesty, the Dark Guards have sent the battle reports from General Ma Teng and General Cao Cao!"
At this time, Liu Bian in the city of Wuwei Commandery was flipping through the livelihood situation in various parts of Liangzhou.
Suddenly, the Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng walked in from the outside and said to Liu Bian in a low voice.
After Li Liangcheng finished speaking, he respectfully handed the battle report in his hand to Liu Bian.
"Oh, so soon there is another battle report sent!"
After Liu Bian heard this, he muttered to himself and reached out to take the battle report.
"Hahaha, good!"
"Ma Teng and Mengde did a beautiful job!"
Only to see Liu Bian laughing loudly after reading the battle report.
Afterward, he said to Li Liangcheng again:
"You go and call Fengxiao and the others over; I have something to find them for."
"Yes! This servant obeys the decree!"
After Li Liangcheng bowed and saluted Liu Bian, he quickly exited the hall.
Half an hour later, Guo Jia, Lü Bu, and the others arrived together.
"Your Majesty, Lord Guo and General Lü and the others have arrived!"
Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng said respectfully to Liu Bian.
"Hurry and summon them in!"
Seeing that Guo Jia and the others had arrived, Liu Bian immediately said to Li Liangcheng.
"Yes!"
After Li Liangcheng bowed and responded, he quickly went to convey Liu Bian's decree.
"My Lords, His Majesty invites you!"
After the crowd heard Li Liangcheng's message, they filed into the hall.
Looking at Liu Bian, who was sitting there majestically, the crowd bowed respectfully to him:
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
"My dear ministers, no need for formalities, all rise and sit."
"We thank Your Majesty!"
After the set of procedures was completed, the crowd sat down and all looked at Liu Bian respectfully.
They were all waiting for Liu Bian's words.
It was just that they didn't know what Liu Bian was summoning them for at this time.
"My dear ministers, this is the victory report sent back by the two generals Mengde and Ma Teng. You all take a look!"
Just as the crowd was puzzled, Liu Bian took out the victory report and said to the crowd.
Upon hearing this, the crowd all showed joy.
Afterward, many people showed curiosity.
It was just that they didn't know where these two generals had fought to now?
Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng respectfully took the battle report from Liu Bian's hand and handed it to Guo Jia.
After Guo Jia quickly finished reading it, he was also full of joy.
He handed the battle report to Chen Gong behind him.
Soon, everyone had finished reading the battle report, and everyone was full of joy.
"I congratulate Your Majesty for gaining the entire territory of Liangzhou!"
After everyone finished reading, Guo Jia immediately said happily to Liu Bian.
"We congratulate Your Majesty for gaining the entire territory of Liangzhou!"
Guo Jia's words woke up the crowd who were immersed in joy.
After coming to their senses, they also immediately shouted loudly to him.
"Hahaha, congratulations to all, congratulations to all!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bian also laughed heartily.
Obviously, he was also very satisfied that Ma Teng and Cao Cao could achieve victory in such a short time.
"Fengxiao, arrange it later. After Ma Teng and Mengde return, I want to reward the soldiers of the three armies!"
Liu Bian immediately decided to reward them well after they returned to Wuwei Commandery.
"I obey the decree!"
After hearing Liu Bian's words, Guo Jia also responded with a smile.
Such a great victory deserved a good reward for the three armies.
"Wenhe, you tell the Dark Guards to find out when the two of them will set off."
After Liu Bian finished speaking with Guo Jia, he ordered Jia Xu again.
"I obey the decree!"
Jia Xu, who heard the decree, immediately said respectfully.
"By the way, send a copy of the battle report back to Xun Yu and the others in the court so they can be happy too."
"Tell them again that after I arrange the affairs of Liangzhou, I will return to the capital in a few days!"
Thinking of Xun Yu and the others in the court, they probably hadn't received this good news yet.
Liu Bian immediately decided to have the Dark Guards send it back together with the news that he was about to return to the capital.
"I obey the decree!"
After arranging this matter, Liu Bian looked at Chen Gong and Lü Bu and asked them in a deep voice:
"Gongtai, Fengxian, how is the progress of distributing land to the people?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong immediately stepped out and replied respectfully to Liu Bian:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, at the beginning, those aristocratic families were still obstructing."
"However, after General Lü raided two of their homes, the rest were all honest."
"Now, the entire Liangzhou, except for the Jiuquan Commandery, Zhangye Commandery, and Dunhuang Commandery in the northwest."
"The places we currently control have all distributed land to the people."
"Now that the people have fields in their hands, plus the corn bestowed by Your Majesty, I believe their lives will become better in the future."
After Chen Gong finished speaking respectfully to Liu Bian, he looked at Liu Bian with admiration.
Back then, when Liu Bian wanted to distribute the land of the aristocratic families to the people, he had even opposed it!
Now it seems that Liu Bian's decision back then was correct.
If you want to get land from those aristocratic families, it is simply impossible without using some hard means.
Now, taking advantage of the momentum of the great victory, it is just right to suppress their arrogant flames.
If it were really according to what he said before, to take it back from their hands after the world was settled.
It is estimated that the rebound at that time would definitely be more severe than it is now.
Now, as long as there are those who dare to oppose the imperial court, with General Lü leading the army, take down the leaders who jump the highest.
Then the rest will not be enough to fear.
As for them wanting to make trouble in the future, that would be even more impossible.
Don't say that Liu Bian doesn't worry at all; even they don't have this worry.
From now on, the high-end power of the Great Han Empire will only be controlled by the imperial court.
Those people, even if they have this idea, don't have the ability to do it.
"Good, this matter was handled beautifully! I will remember your merits; after returning to the capital, I will reward you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bian praised the two.
"It is all because of Your Majesty's wisdom!"
The two hurriedly said respectfully to Liu Bian.
"As for the three commanderies of Dunhuang, we will discuss it after General Ma Teng returns."
Regarding the three commanderies of Dunhuang, Liu Bian didn't intend to take action personally.
These three commanderies will be left for Ma Teng to handle slowly in the future.
"We (I) obey the decree!"
Chen Gong and Lü Bu responded respectfully after hearing this.
