"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor has decreed!"
"General Meng Qian, you have rendered meritorious service in killing the enemy. You have raised the prestige of the Great Han Dynasty. I hereby confer you the title of Marquis Liang and promote you to General of the Army. You will be the General of Qiang Protection and the Governor of Anding." In
Meng Qian's tent, an incense table had been set up. A young man from Luoyang was solemnly reading the imperial edict to Meng Qian.
Meanwhile, Meng Qian led his generals to kneel on the ground, and his cold gaze softened slightly!
This was the North!
The Western Liang army had slaughtered 30,000 Xiongnu elites, but they did not immediately return. Instead, they had settled down in the north!
They attacked everywhere and launched a severe attack on the Xiongnu tribes scattered in the Beidi County. Many Xiongnu people saw that the elite cavalry of Prince Xian of the Left had been destroyed by the Western Liang army!
The two pavilions had clearly told them that the Xi Liang army's attitude toward them had scared all the Xiongnu people to death!
Many Xiongnu people fled back to the grasslands in a panic, but there were also many who did not manage to escape in time and were directly defeated by the Western Liang army!
This time, the Western Liang army did not directly kill the Xiongnu people like before. Most of the Xiongnu people became slaves of the Western Liang army!
The Western Liang army had also seized a large amount of supplies. They were all grain, gold, silver, and treasures that the Xiongnu had plundered from Western Liang!
The most important thing was that the huns 'hundreds of years of accumulation had all fallen into the hands of Meng Qian!
He even saved a large number of Han civilians and captured countless cattle and sheep. It could be said that Meng Qian had become rich from this battle!
The Huns had much more money than the rebels of the kingdom!
It was precisely because of this that Meng Qian did not withdraw his troops. His army remained in the Northlands to continue looting!
At this moment, an angel from Luoyang arrived with an imperial edict for Meng Qian and a reward for the Western Liang Army!
When the Little Yellow Sect finished reading the imperial edict, they immediately revealed a humble smile. They bowed slightly and handed the imperial edict to Meng Qian with both hands!
"Congratulations, Marquis Liang. You have defeated the rebel army and killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers. Your Majesty is overjoyed!" The Little Yellow Sect congratulated.
He knew that Meng Qian was someone that Liu Hong valued and had already been conferred the title of Marquis Liang and Army Defending General, but this was definitely just the beginning!
Emperor Liu had always been very generous to the people he valued! Meng Qian's official career would definitely be open!
In the future, he might even become one of the three dukes!
The Little Yellow Clan, who schemed against each other all day long in the Imperial Palace, was the most perceptive. Naturally, they were on good terms with Meng Qian!
Meng Qian did not look down on the smile of the Little Yellow Sect. This was the rule of survival in this era!
Good people and bad people wouldn't die. Only idiots would die! And this Little Yellow Sect was obviously a smart person!
"I wonder what the angel's name is!" Meng Qian said indifferently and gave Jia Xu a look.
Jia Xu took out a small box from the side and placed it in front of the small yellow door. He opened it directly and it was actually a whole ten ingots of gold!
This shocked Little Yellow Door, but it could not hide the greed in his eyes. His eyes were almost fixed on it!
"Marquis Liang, this..." Little Yellow Sect was at a loss, but Meng Qian spoke directly!
"This is my greeting gift. Angel, please accept it!”This was considered an unspoken rule. Usually, when there was an imperial edict, they would secretly give some rewards to the small yellow door who announced the edict!
However, Meng Qian was too generous. He directly used ten gold ingots to suppress this little yellow door. In his opinion, gold and silver were all dead objects. Only when they were put to use would they be real!
This time, when Meng Qian exterminated the Xiongnu people, not only did he seize a large amount of grain, but he also seized a lot of yellow and white items. The Xiongnu nobles liked to make gold and silver into accessories to show their nobility!
These Xiongnu people had accumulated an unknown amount of wealth over the past several hundred years. In the end, all of it was given to Meng Qian. These ten gold ingots were nothing to him!
It was very necessary to use this little money to befriend a small yellow sect. This kind of person stayed in the palace all day long. They were the first to know anything!
Meng Qian could look down on a person, but he would never underestimate a person. In this world, everyone had their own role!
These people from the Little Yellow Sect didn't have high statuses, but they were in key positions. They might not do good things for you, but they were very accurate when they wanted to do bad things!
This Little Yellow Sect was obviously not a good person. When he heard Meng Qian's words, he immediately hugged the gold in his arms excitedly and smiled even more lowly at Meng Qian!
"This servant, Huang Liang, if Lord Marquis has any instructions, this servant will definitely tell you everything I know and go through fire and water ~" Huang Liang had a completely loyal appearance!
However, Meng Qian would not take it seriously. He was just using their relationship!
"What is the attitude of the officials in the court towards the reward this time?”Meng Qian asked indifferently.
It had to be said that the imperial court's reward for Meng Qian was very generous this time, directly giving him a general!
Army General!
Generals in the Great Han Dynasty were very precious. There were not many Zhonglang Generals. To become a general, one had to have a very strong relationship or make great contributions!
Meng Qian undoubtedly belonged to the latter. He could count the number of generals in the entire imperial court with his fingers!
It could be said that with the title of general, Meng Qian's status in the Han army would rise sharply. Coupled with the Western Liang cavalry under him, he would definitely be a big shot in the military!
However, the most important thing was the title of General of the Qiang Guard. From the perspective of the future generations, General of the Army was Meng Qian's military rank and his identity as a general!
The general of the Qiang Guard was a position that the Great Han Dynasty had set up in Western Liang. On the surface, it was to protect the safety of the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, and other Western Liang barbarians. In reality, it was to monitor and guard against them. It was also responsible for suppressing them when a rebellion occurred!
Usually, they would appoint a lieutenant to protect the Qiang. However, in order to match Meng Qian's status, they had re-established the position of general to protect the Qiang!
The last Qiang Protector General was Ma Yuan from a hundred years ago! He was known as General Fubo! He was famous in Western Liang and was a famous general of his generation! Ma Teng had even acknowledged him as his ancestor!
The General of the Qiang Guard had great power. He had the right to mobilize the entire Western Liang border army and was fully responsible for military operations against the Qiang, Di, and other border barbarians!
It could be said that with the identity of the Qiang Protector General, Meng Qian directly controlled the military power of the entire Western Liang border!
Although it was another matter how many border troops there were in Western Liang, Meng Qian had the right to do so!
Once there was a rebellion in Western Liang, Meng Qian would have the right to mobilize the Western Liang border troops and the troops of the prefectures under him to take full charge of Western Liang's military!
Acting first and reporting later, the imperial power granted special permission!
This was the Qiang Protector General!
