Zou Jing intentionally or unintentionally asked Sun Ce to stay in the manor for a few days.
The only result of this incident was that Zou Yuer's favorability towards Sun Ce skyrocketed!
From the initial 81, it quickly soared to 94!
With this favorable impression, it was obvious that something was going to happen!
"The way this little girl looks at me is so watery! This is a charming little vixen…"
However, Sun Ce was destined not to be able to enjoy Zou Yuer's beauty.
Just before this, Emperor Ling of Han, who was fooling around in the imperial harem, was forcefully summoned out by the three dukes.
The atmosphere in the court was stagnant, not because the three dukes had offended the emperor, but because of the urgent military situation!
"He Jin, what exactly is it that you want me to preside over?”The Spirit Monarch's deep voice rang out in the dark hall.
Great General He Jin immediately reported," Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Changshe. Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi have led 50,000 troops and are trapped inside. The rebel army is too powerful to escape. They are in urgent need of reinforcements from the Imperial Court!"”
"In that case, send troops to rescue them. Is such a small matter worth inviting me out?”The Spirit Monarch stood up impatiently and planned to leave the hall.
Situ Wangyun hurriedly stood up and said,"Your Majesty, please wait. Listen to me!"”
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" The Spirit Monarch stood at the back door, ready to leave at any moment.
Wang Yun wiped off his cold sweat." Your Majesty, war is fought with money and grain. At present, the imperial court's treasury is out of money!"”
"Where's the money?" The Spirit Monarch immediately raised his voice. The ministers were all shocked.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Court had previously allocated five cavalry and elite warriors from the Three Rivers, but the number was too small, so they recruited a group of brave warriors. The Imperial Court's savings have already been exhausted, and it is now impossible to recruit more soldiers.”Wang Yun said awkwardly.
Grand Marshal Yang Ci also stood up." Your Majesty, not only are there insufficient soldiers, but there is also a shortage of generals in the court. Right now, there is no one qualified to lead the army!”
The Spirit Monarch's gaze turned cold. To hear you complain?"
He Jin and Yang Ci were speechless, but Situ Wangyun immediately said,"Your Majesty, the current situation is critical, but it's not like there's no way to resolve it!”
He Jin and Yang Ci's faces immediately lit up, as if they had seen a life-saving straw.
Even the Spirit Monarch's voice softened.”
Wang Yun immediately submitted a report and said,""Your Majesty, my colleagues! This was the report from Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou Province! Youzhou had been harassed by the Xianbei people all year round. Now that the Yellow Turban army was wreaking havoc in Youzhou, it should be worse than other provinces and counties. However, the actual situation was indeed that Youzhou was now stable, even more stable than before the Yellow Turban army riot!”
The Spirit Monarch had already finished reading the report, and the joy on his face grew stronger. He immediately continued Wang Yun's words,""Exterminate the Xianbei people! To wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou! So, all the credit was due to this young man called Sun Ce?”
"That's right!" Wang Yu immediately smiled. Your Majesty, the Xianbei people have been wreaking havoc in the north for many years. The imperial court was unable to chase them away and had no choice but to make them officials! It could be seen that the Xianbei people were difficult to deal with! However, not long after this person arrived in Youzhou, he won three battles and three victories. First, he destroyed Qiu Liju, the Xianbei people in Yuyang, then he destroyed Shanggu Budugen, and finally, he destroyed Kebineng in Dai Prefecture, causing the Xianbei people to lose the ability to fight again! He also slaughtered all the Xianbei women and children in Mayi. From then on, the Xianbei were destroyed and there would be no future trouble! To have such a battle record in such a short period of time, it could be seen that this person was brave and resourceful. He was a peerless general talent! If Your Majesty uses him, the siege of Changshe can be solved!”
He Jin and Yang Ci looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes!
"There's actually such a talent in the world! Even if Sun Wu was reborn and Han Xin revived, it would be nothing much, right?”Yang Ci sighed in a daze.
"A genius from the heavens! Your Majesty, the heavens are blessing the Great Han Dynasty. This is the blessing of the previous emperors to the Great Han Dynasty!”He Jin took the opportunity to flatter him.
Liu Hong's brows finally relaxed. He was in a good mood, so he turned around and sat back down. After reading the report seriously, he smiled!
"I didn't expect my Great Han to have such a hero. Now is the time for him to shine! Destroying the Xianbei people and ending future troubles was a peerless feat. Its significance was no less than the champion Hou Qubing who chased away the Xiongnu people back then! Everyone, why don't you reward him with the title of Champion Marquis, add the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, and order him to go south to attack the Yellow Turban Army and help Huangfu Song defeat the enemy?”
The Great Han Dynasty had only had one Marquis Champion in its eight hundred years of history.
The value of this marquis lay in the story behind him and the meaning of his symbol!
Being conferred the title of Marquis Champion represented unparalleled merit and the favor of the emperor!
Although Sun Ce had made great contributions, it was still too much to reward him with the title of Marquis Champion after one battle.
As for that hussars general, that was even more outrageous. How could he become the core of the imperial court for nothing!
Therefore, Yang Ci immediately said," Your Majesty, Sun Ce is just a nobody. If he is conferred the title of Marquis Champion, wouldn't that mean that he has ascended to the heavens in a single step? In the future, he will have no room for advancement!" Why not…make him Marquis of Jingbian? Not only would he be rewarded for his contribution in protecting the frontier fortress, but it would also make him ambitious. This way, he would be able to serve the court for a long time!”
Wang Yun also hurried to report." Cheji General is an important official of the imperial court. How can he be given to a young man so easily? Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi of the Changshe are only Zhonglang Generals! It would be better to make him a Nanzhong General, which would make him contribute and not make Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong unhappy.”
"Good!" Liu Hong immediately replied. Summon them."
