After the distribution, he was appointed as a Commandery Governor. 《Seeking auto-subscriptions!!!

On the other side.

He Jin, according to his promise, listed Su Li's past meritorious deeds and requested the imperial court to appoint Su Li as the Governor of Changshan.

As for the original Governor of Changshan, Deng Song, because of his meritorious service in attacking Julu, he was transferred to Luoyang to hold a higher position, which could be considered another kind of promotion.

However, in Luoyang City, the infighting between He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs, Zhang Rang and others, was becoming more and more intense.

Being transferred to Luoyang at this time, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, remained to be seen.

The Ten Eunuchs saw that He Jin wanted to promote his own people to hold the position of Commandery Governor, and originally wanted to obstruct it, but Su Li's meritorious service was simply too high.

Whether it was breaking the Yellow Turbans, the Heishan, or suppressing the Liangzhou rebels, they were all solid contributions.

Coupled with He Jin's all-out assistance, the accumulated military merit was enough to hold the position of a Commandery Governor.

So the Ten Eunuchs, Zhang Rang and others, could not object, and could only pass it reluctantly.

The most depressed one was Yuan Shu, who was sitting in Luoyang City.

A Commandery Governor was a person with real power in the local area.

At a time when the main contradiction in the Han imperial court, the contradiction between the relatives and the eunuchs, was becoming more and more intense.

The Inspectors and Commandery Governors at the end of the Han Dynasty were all hot commodities.

As long as you got one, you could use the local real power to greatly develop your own strength.

Su Li being appointed as the Governor of Changshan was much more comfortable than Yuan Shu, who was a General of the Household of the Tiger's Might.

At least in terms of military power, he could expand wantonly.

"No, even an outlander like Su Li got the position of Commandery Governor."

"I, Yuan Shu, must also find a way to be sent out to the local area, to hold a position above Commandery Governor, to have my own territory, to recruit my own troops, so that I will have a chance to accomplish great things in the future...?"

Perhaps influenced by Su Li, Yuan Shu began to ponder his own way out.

Because a large number of players had traveled to this world, the characters of the Three Kingdoms were more or less influenced.

People like Yuan Shu had all begun to realize in advance that the chaotic world was coming, and only military power was the most important reliance.

As for Yuan Shao, he already had a large territory, and was still plotting with He Jin on how to eliminate the Ten Eunuchs and become the leader of the imperial court.

…………

A few days later.

The imperial court began to count military merit and distribute rewards to the meritorious officials who had made great contributions in the campaigns to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, the Heishan Army, and the Liangzhou rebels.

Huangfu Song was appointed as the General of Chariots and Cavalry and the Shepherd of Jizhou.

The Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao, because he assisted Huangfu Song in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made meritorious deeds, the imperial court intended to transfer Cao Cao to be the Chancellor of Jinan.

However, after some secret operations by Cao Cao, the imperial court changed Cao Cao's appointment to the Governor of Dongjun.

Assistant Military Military Sima Sun Jian made meritorious deeds in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army and the Liangzhou rebels, but because he still had the task of suppressing bandits, he was designated as the Governor of Changsha, and would take office directly after Sun Jian pacified the bandits in Changsha.

The Lord of White Cloud City, Su Li, because he had made great contributions in suppressing the Yellow Turbans, the Heishan, and the Liangzhou rebels, was appointed as the Governor of Changshan as an outlander, and the original Governor of Changshan, Deng Song, entered the court to become an official.

The imperial court also ordered Su Li to replace the original Governor of Changshan, Deng Song, and try his best to pacify the Heishan Army.

Besides this.

Dong Zhuo also received an additional appointment; for breaking the Yellow Turbans and the rebels, plus his seniority, he was directly promoted to the General Who Breaks the Captives and enfeoffed as the Marquis of Laxiang.

But Dong Zhuo seemed very dissatisfied with this, and repeatedly submitted memorials to the imperial court, requesting to be appointed as the Inspector of Liangzhou or the Inspector of Bingzhou.

And he was unwilling to give up the military power in his hands, firmly controlling the soldiers of the Five Schools Camp who suppressed the Yellow Turban Army.

Dong Zhuo knew well the importance of territory and military power.

Once he didn't fight for it now.

Once lost, it was equivalent to losing the right to speak and being looked down upon by everyone.

In order to win over the soldiers of the Five Schools Camp.

All the rewards bestowed by the imperial court to Dong Zhuo, as well as the wealth looted in Liangzhou this time, Dong Zhuo did not keep any of it, and distributed it all to the soldiers to win over their hearts.

It had to be said that for his subordinates, Dong Zhuo had nothing to say.

Dong Zhuo actually did not have much demand for wealth; his only hobby was women.

As long as you didn't fight with Dong Zhuo for women, being Dong Zhuo's subordinate was quite comfortable.

For a time, whether it was the original Xiliang units under Dong Zhuo or the soldiers of the Northern Army Five Schools, they were all grateful.

They thought Dong Zhuo was a good general who was rarely seen in a hundred years.

···

There was another part of the reason for this.

Among the Northern Army Five Schools, a portion was originally units domesticated from barbarians.

Dong Zhuo had a certain affinity for barbarians and outlanders.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo only needed to win over the barbarian units among the Northern Army Five Schools, and then win over a portion of the Han army generals, and he could easily control the Northern Army Five Schools that originally belonged to Lu Zhi's command.

Moreover, Lu Zhi had now been dismissed, and there was no one who could take back the military power in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Now the Northern Army Five Schools were divided into three parts; one part was in the hands of Huangfu Song, another part was in the hands of Zhu Jun.

And the other part was in the hands of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo used various ways to delay the return of military power, and also bought people's hearts, which could be said to be full of ambition.

However, the imperial court also relied on Dong Zhuo to suppress Liangzhou, and did not dare to overly restrain Dong Zhuo, worrying that Dong Zhuo would defect to the Liangzhou rebels and cause a larger-scale rebellion.

Coupled with the fact that Dong Zhuo not only made friends with the Grand General He Jin and the Yuan family, but also privately bribed the Ten Eunuchs and others.

Both sides had ways, so Dong Zhuo was fearless.

He developed his own strength more and more unscrupulously, hoping that one day, he could overturn the world.

Among this.

There was another important figure—Liu Bei.

Liu Bei could be said to have a bumpy fate, with a humble background, and plus Zhang Fei offended the small Yellow Gate Zuo Feng, and the three brothers did not go to rely on the Grand General He Jin.

So Liu Bei, who had also made many meritorious deeds in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, only became a County Commandant of a small county, and his status was lower than that of a County Magistrate.

Compared with the current Governor of Changshan, Su Li, it was simply the difference between clouds and mud.

Corpse.
