The Jizhou Yellow Turban Army had ended with the death of Zhang Jiao and his brothers and the surrender of Guangzong's rebels.
Once Guangzong was broken, Yang Yu immediately entered.
Not for anything else, just to sign in and receive the reward!
"Ding! The host has arrived at Guangzong City. Would you like to sign in immediately?”
"Sign in immediately!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Guangzong has successfully signed in! Mission triggered!"
" Mission content: Kill the three Yellow Turban generals and pacify Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army."
"Mission reward:
[Mission Reward 1: Wei Zheng]
[Mission Reward 2: Li Jing]
[Mission Reward 3: 10,000 Embroidered Uniform Guards (with four Embroidered Uniform Guards Commanders)]
Yang Yu was stunned,[Isn't this perfect? It's already completed?]
Then, he heard a system notification.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the triggered mission! All rewards have been issued!"
Not long after, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards all returned to the team!
……
It was already June, and half a year had passed since the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army.
There were also Yellow Turban soldiers of different sizes active in various places.
But it's not going to work.
Moreover, the grain and fodder that Yang Yu had seized had been exhausted, and the court was in dire straits and could not provide relief. Therefore, the task of conquering the remaining Yellow Turbans was tacitly handed over to the local governments.
Therefore, after Yang Yu arranged the bandits from Guangzong, he discussed with Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi and decided to return to the court.
"When we came out, we each led 30,000 soldiers. Now, only half of us are left when we return. Fortunately, we obtained a lot of merits with my brother. Otherwise, we would definitely be punished when we return.”On the way, Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, I led the troops to Changshe and was defeated. If it wasn't for my brother coming out to save the situation, the two of us would probably be buried in Changshe now.”Zhu Rong sighed and felt grateful towards Yang Yu.
Yang Yu just smiled.
When the army returned to court, the news of victory from Jizhou had already reached the Imperial Court!
This time, Yang Yu, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Rong had returned to the capital together. The Ten Attendants knew that they could not stop the news, so they could only present it truthfully.
After Liu Hong saw this, his face lit up." Yang Yu has only sent troops for less than three months, but he has wiped out the Yellow Turban bandits in Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Jizhou. He can be called a good general of this dynasty!" Pass on my edict and summon the general and the three dukes to discuss the matter of reward! Also, send someone to inform the Eldest Princess!”
Not long after, a man from a small yellow family came to the Eldest Princess 'place.""Princess, Nan Zhonglang has pacified Jizhou and is on his way back.”
Liu Ying's eyes suddenly became mesmerizing."Finally, you didn't disappoint bengong and resolved the crisis for Imperial Father! Yang Yu, you hid for three years, and once you set out, you became famous. Now that you see me again, are you still willing to protect me?”
Liu Ying fell into an inexplicable emotion. Her face sometimes revealed reminiscence, sometimes shyness, and sometimes joy, like a young girl who had just woken up to love.
Diao Chan, who was standing at the side, looked at Liu Ying's wonderful expression and was stunned.""Princess, wake up! Who did you dream of in broad daylight?”
Liu Ying immediately turned around, her pretty face slightly red. However, when she thought of Yang Yu's return soon, the joy on her face could not be concealed.
He Jin, Yang Ci, Yuan Kui and Zhang Wen entered the palace to meet Liu Hong.
After passing through several doors, the four of them were brought into the inner palace by Hu Ben with a knife to their necks.
Liu Hong waved his hand, and Hu Ben Lang retreated.
The four of them touched their heads and felt that they were still alive. Only then did they gradually calm down.
"You all know what I mean, right?”Liu Hong asked lazily as he lay down.
The four of them nodded.
"Then tell me. Yang Yu pacified Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Guangzong, killing countless enemies. How should I reward him?"
The four of them looked at each other and pondered.
Liu Hong knew what these people were thinking. Yang Yu was not related to them at all, so they did not want to see Yang Yu continue to be promoted.
But now that Yang Yu's contribution was there, Liu Hong had enough reason to promote Yang Yu, so he immediately laughed."If you don't want to say it, then zhen will say it! Yang Yu had both wisdom and courage, and was an important weapon of the country! I intend to make him an assistant minister. What do you think?”
The four of them almost jumped up.
"Your Majesty, I'm not dead yet. Why do you need an outsider?" He Jin frowned.”
"Use you? I can spend my money with you, but can you solve the court's problems? Look at the people you recommended! Lu Zhi was willing to spend a huge amount of manpower and resources to confront the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong! There was no need to mention Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong. Changshe was defeated, Nanyang was defeated. If I didn't order Yang Yu to take charge of the Jizhou battle, these two would have lost again!”
"Your Majesty, I'm better than those eunuchs, right?" He Jin's face immediately turned red. When Lu Zhi was in Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed. After the eunuch recommended Dong Zhuo, he was directly defeated by the Yellow Turban Army! No matter how bad I am, I'm still better than a eunuch, right?”
"Yes, I didn't say that you're inferior to eunuchs in this aspect." Liu Hong smiled. But Yang Yu was the key to destroying the Yellow Turban Army, yet you never said you wanted to put him in an important position and even stopped me from putting him in an important position.”
He Jin was about to say that Yang Yu's background was not good, but he suddenly remembered that he was not a butcher in the past, so he quickly shut up and did not dare to say anything.
Therefore, Yang Ci, who came from a wealthy family, went on stage."Your Majesty, Yang Yu's background is a problem after all. His Majesty allowed him to lead the Imperial Army in the palace, which is enough for him to bring honor to his ancestors. Now that he has already been promoted by Your Majesty to the position of Nanzhong General, if he is promoted again, what will those aristocratic families who have served the Han Dynasty for generations think?”
Liu Hong had already thought about it and immediately asked,""Then tell me, how are you going to reward Yang Yu? He couldn't possibly not reward them for their contributions, right? Otherwise, who would be willing to serve the court in the future?”
" This…" Yang Ci was stunned when he saw Liu Hong asking this question again.
Reward?
The Imperial Court was so poor that they couldn't afford to reward him!
Conferring marquis, giving land, giving food?
Wouldn't that mean that he had become a noble and become a salted fish? In the future, his promotion would be justified.
"Why don't we reward a beauty?" Yuan Kui probed guiltily.
Liu Hong merely glanced at him, and Yuan Kui did not dare to mention this again.
Logically speaking, this was considered a slip of the tongue. If the three dukes made a slip of the tongue, they would immediately be dismissed from office. After the three dukes of the Eastern Han Dynasty were dismissed from office, if they wanted to maintain their integrity, they would have to go home and commit suicide...
However, this group of people did not relent, so they played silence with Liu Hong.
In the end, Liu Hong became impatient." Forget it. Since that's the case, I'll make him the General of the North. Go to Bingzhou and guard Yanmen County!" Alright, you can leave. If anyone still objects to this, then you can give up your official position and go home to retire.”
Northern General? Guarding Yanmen Gate?
The four of them smiled.
He Jin glanced at Liu Hong and thought to himself, His Majesty still loves me. What Northern General? Isn't he going to guard the border?
Guarding the border was a thankless task, especially in a place like Yanmen. Throwing Yang Yu there was similar to sending him to exile.
Thus, the four of them praised Liu Hong happily for a while before leaving in satisfaction.
When the news reached the Eldest Princess, Liu Ying suddenly trembled."Bing Province? Yanmen Gate! That was where the Xianbei people roamed. In the past, Yanmen was often attacked by the foreign races and their officers were killed! Imperial Father, Yang Yu is our Great Han Dynasty's reliance. How can you do this?”
However, no one knew that Liu Hong was looking into the distance and sighing in a low voice," Yang Yu, I wonder if you can understand my painstaking efforts?
