Chapter 5: The Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses

The soldiers held their heads high and their chests straightened, with a fierce fighting spirit in their eyes, and were full of energy, waiting for Emperor Jing to review.

Cheng Buzhi came to the horse, came to Emperor Jing, and stopped. He immediately bowed slightly, and this was a military salute: "The soldiers of the Northern Expedition have been arranged in an array, please review it!"

When Emperor Jing was reviewing the army, he reported to Emperor Jing that it was also the supreme honor. Li Guang sang a ceremony, and this matter fell on Cheng Bushi. This was the result of Zhou Yang's discussion with the generals.

"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!" Emperor Jing slapped the Red Electric BMW and slowly rushed through the formation, giving a loud consolation.

"Long live the great man!" The Han soldiers shouted, which was an answer to Emperor Jing's consolation.

"The Han army is mighty!" The battle horn that soared into the sky came from the mouths of the people.

Accompanied by Zhou Yang, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Zhou Yafu, Feng Jing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian and Qin Wuhui, Emperor Jing comforted the soldiers of the camp and rode his horse slowly by.

When Emperor Jing passed by, the review was completed.

Although the Han Dynasty had been suppressing the Huns for decades, it did not forget its hatred and wanted to take revenge. It attached great importance to the army. Although the Han Dynasty adopted a defensive strategy, it was enough to defend the city without losing it. Emperors of all dynasties had to inspect the military camps near Chang'an from time to time, and went to the most Xiliu and Ba Shang.

Emperor Wen of Han inspected Xiaoliu and found that Zhou Yafu had become a good story.

However, it is incomparable to the current review. In the past, it was inspected to defeat the Huns. Now, it is a victorious army that defeated the Huns. It is completely different. Emperor Jing smiled so hard that he became a family.

Majestic, majestic, extraordinary and murderous intent. This is a portrayal of the victory army, far from comparable to the Bashang Army that Emperor Jing inspected. How could he not be happy?

He raised his head and raised his chest. Emperor Jing looked proud and turned his horse's head. He quickly rushed past the military formation, came to the palace gate, turned over and dismounted, handed the horse reins to Chuntuo, quickly walked into Weiyang Palace, and climbed up the city tower again.

The next thing to do is to give rewards, which is an important part of this celebration and is still inspiring.

As the expectations of thousands of people, Emperor Jing slowly spoke: "The Huns are rampant, plaguing China, and the border is weeping blood, and the people live in dire straits. I have no choice but to promote the righteous army. Thanks to the blessing of heaven, the soldiers use their lives to defeat the Huns, beheading more than 400,000, and create a great spirit! Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a great victory!"

After a moment of pause, I swept the city slightly. Whether it is the people or the soldiers, I listen carefully and feel very satisfied. Being an emperor, in addition to making achievements, I am the most happy to control the life and death of others and to reward and punish.

Emperor Jing has been an emperor for so many years, and he has not been as happy as he has now. He has pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and promoted Zhou Yafu, Liang Wang, Dou Ying and others to the emperor. However, compared with the present, it is incomparable. This is a great victory over the Xiongnu. The anger and hatred accumulated over decades have turned into supreme joy, and it is impossible to be happy.

"I reward merits and punishments, and encourage good deeds. I will never hesitate to reward you with such a great victory!" Emperor Jing's eyes stopped on Zhou Yang. The first person to be rewarded must be Zhou Yang, and there is nothing to say about this.

The question is, how much reward will Zhou Yang be? Before the answer to the mystery was revealed, it was still the thing that people care about the most. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Zhou Yang.

Empress Dowager Dou's eyes were invisible and her ears were already high. She kept thinking in her heart, "What kind of reward would she give Zhou Yang?"

Xu Ru even had a pair of wonderful eyes wide open, and she was so nervous that she almost fainted. Princess Nangong had to support her. As a mother, Zhou Yang was rewarded, and she was very excited and proud, but when the reward came, she was so nervous that she could not hold on.

"Zhou Yang's general, Hu Zi, read military books at all, is well versed in strategy, is not angry with the Huns, and joins the army with their swords, and fights against the border!" Emperor Jing's words came down and praised Zhou Yang to the sky.

"Am I so good?" Zhou Yang asked himself.

Zhou Yang used to be unaware of eating, drinking and having fun since he was a child. He was proficient in everything, fighting cocks and dogs, and did everything, but he just didn't read military books, which was not as good as "reading military books less".

As for his deep understanding of strategy, it seems a bit reliable. Zhou Yang has read many books on business wars, which is no different from reading military books.

The words of joining the army with a sword and striving to the border are to follow orders, and you have to go if you don’t go.

The Huns were rampant, and Zhou Yang was not angry. Among the many praises from Emperor Jing, this sentence is the most correct.

Zhou Yafu looked gloomy, picked up his beard, opened his eyes and narrowed his eyes, and enjoyed it very much. Emperor Jing praised him. From then on, who dared to mention the devastating things in Zhou Yang before? Who dared to ridicule?

After Emperor Jing said this, Zhou Yang was simply a "good boy" with standards. He was so good that he could not be better. A noble family who was righteous and had a great reputation for the country and the court had been carved out.

"Attacking the camp of Ahu tribe, he made plans to defeat the Xiongnu King Zuoguli, which was the royal brother of Shanyu, Yi Zhixie, Yu Antao!" Emperor Jing was afraid that the people would not know who Zuoguli was, so he explained.

The Battle of Antao was the first victory of the Han army this year and had spread all over the world. However, not many people knew that this was actually from Zhou Yang's hands, and the people exclaimed in surprise.

"The general is mighty!"

The people cheered in unison, and the roar was no worse than the roar.

Rong's cheers stopped, and Emperor Jing continued: "A great victory in Yanmen, Zhou Yang plotted to him and drew heavy rain to the Shanyu camp, and defeated him in one attack."

The word "玉" is well used, which gives Zhou Yang another skill, that is, Shangxiao Astronomy, which can lead heavy rain to the Shanyu camp.

That was because of the situation, and where did it lead? Zhou Yang frowned when he heard it.

However, the people were not surprised, but cheered. Because, according to the people's voices, Zhou Yang had three heads and six arms, and could call the wind and rain, and it seemed not difficult to bring heavy rain to the Shanyu camp.

Emperor Jing finished introducing Zhou Yang's military achievements before commanding the troops, and then he said that his greatest contribution was: "Zhou Yang was ordered to command troops, annihilate 10,000 elite troops of Zuo Daduwei, and scared away the 100,000 troops of Zuo Xianwang, and grew up the Han Dynasty's prestige; burned the desert, burned the Huns' herdsmen, countless cattle and sheep; the border soldiers won all the battles, beheaded 90,000; the Great Wall Battle, beheaded more than 200,000 troops of Shanyu and less than 100,000 troops of Longcheng were fled to the founding of the Han Dynasty!

"Long live the great man!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, the people cheered like tsunamis.

Although we already knew that the Han army had won a great victory, when the final result was revealed from Emperor Jing, the shock was still so strong. The people shouted hard, and Chang'an was once again in a boiling state!

Listening to the cheers of the people, Zhou Yang's eyes became wet. He fought with the Huns at the border, and suffered too much, which made people exhausted. However, with the recognition of the people, this is more important than anything else. It's worth it!

It's absolutely worth it!

"More than 400,000!"

"More than 400,000!"

The princes, Hou Che, Hou Guannei, Prince, and beauties in the palace kept sighing. Not only did they say anything else, just listening to this number is shocking!

Emperor Jing was very excited, took a breath, suppressed his excitement, and then said: "In this battle, the great man seized more than 400,000 horses, the seized tents piled into mountains, the seized scimitars piled into mountains, and the seized scimitars piled into mountains, and the seized..."

The more I talked, the more excited I became. Emperor Jing didn't know how many "seied" he said in one breath.

In history, only the Huns plundered the Han Dynasty and slaughtered the villages of the Han Dynasty. No Han Dynasty had seized the Huns. Now, not only were they seized, but they were piled up into mountains. The horses were astonishing as hundreds of thousands, which was more exciting than any praise, and the people cheered shockingly.

This incident was so exciting that the people's cheers could not calm down for a long time. It was not until Emperor Jing repeatedly pressed down his hands and asked the people to stop.

After talking about Zhou Yang's merits, it should be rewarded. The people stared at Zhou Yang.

Amid the expectations of the people, Emperor Jing opened his golden mouth and spit out a long list of wonderful notes: "I have granted Zhou Yang Polu Marquis, rank in Guannei Marquis, and granted 13,000 households in the town!"

It turned out to be the Marquis of Wanhu!

Zhou Yang made great contributions, and Emperor Jing would definitely reward him more. This is inevitable. However, Emperor Jing’s letter was a ten thousand households with fiefs of 13,000 households, which was beyond people’s expectations.

Zhou Yafu was famous all over the world. He quelled the rebellion of the seven kingdoms and did not become the Marquis of Wanhu at once. He also became Marquis of Wanhu after step by step.

Zhou Yang was directly the Marquis of Wanhu. This was the first person to be named Marquis of Wanhu since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Except for the heroes such as Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai.

This set a precedent for the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yang's military achievements were great, and he greatly improved the power of the Han Dynasty, making the Han people proud and named him Marquis of Wanhu. It was exactly what the people hoped for, and another shocking cheer sounded.

"The general is mighty!"

The people waved their arms and shouted loudly.

The Marquis of Wanhu was the supreme glory in the Han Dynasty and was synonymous with great merit.

The word "World Huhou" has been passed down in later generations and inspired many heroes!

Zhou Yang never expected that Emperor Jing would suddenly give him the Marquis of Wanhu, and he was stunned. Zhou Yafu's face was full of red light and hurriedly reminded him: "Yang'er, thank you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yang woke up and thanked Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing looked at Zhou Yang with great pleasure. It felt so good to be the emperor: "The Northern Que Jia gave a Polu Marquis Mansion!"

Giving meritorious officials a house was a routine matter in the Han Dynasty, and this was not surprising at all.

After Emperor Jing's reward, Zhou Yang officially became the marquis, and the new crown of the Han Dynasty was born.

The title of Han was twenty, and the highest was Marquis Che. Later, because he violated the taboo of Emperor Wu of Han, he was changed to Marquis. The second was Marquis Guannei. Zhou Yang, the Marquis of Polu, was the 19th level and was not the highest Marquis Che.

In the hundreds of years of history of the Han Dynasty, few people were granted titles. They were mainly the founding ministers. As for their descendants, even if they inherited the title, they would not be Chehou. Because the Han laws stipulated that they would be protected by their ancestors, and their titles would be given first place. Although the descendants of Xiao He, Chen Ping, and Zhang Liang inherited their titles, they were already Guannei Hou and no longer Chehou.

To be precise, during this period, no one in the Han Dynasty had obtained the title of Marquis Che.

Zhou Yang, the Marquis of the Polu, is one of the most advanced among all the Marquis. If Zhou Yang wants to become Marquis of Che, he has to endure one war after another and fight a few more such great victories.

The above-mentioned Marquis of Che are princes and kings. This is a taboo and it is impossible to fall on the other surnames. Liu Bang punished the white horse and joined forces with the "King without Liu". This is the iron law of the Han Dynasty, which has been implemented for hundreds of years.

The one who broke this golden rule was Cao Cao who forced Emperor Xian of Han to grant him the King of Wei, and Liu Bang's alliance was abolished.

Countless pairs of hot eyes focused on Zhou Yang, hot and hot, as if they were about to melt Zhou Yang.

Although Wanhu Hou was not as rare as Chehou in the Han Dynasty, it was not many. Without earth-shaking contributions, it would be impossible to become Wanhu Hou. This itself is admirable.

What made them admire the most was Zhou Yang’s title and the Marquis of Polu. What do these three words mean? Emperor Jing appointed Zhou Yang as the Marquis of Polu, which had a profound meaning. You can understand it with just one rank.

The Great Wall was a great victory, the Han army was a great victory, and the Huns were a great defeat. The Huns were a great defeat and had not yet been "defeated".

The places where Hetao, the land of Mobei, Longcheng, Shanyuting, and Langjuxu Mountain are still in the hands of the Huns, and they are still far from being destroyed.

Later generations said that Emperor Wu of Han "defeats" the Huns, rather than "defeats" the Huns. Although the difference is only one word, the realm is far different. What level can be called "defeat"? At least it cannot recover and cannot threaten China's safety.

King Wuling of Zhao, Li Mu, Meng Tian, ​​who did not defeat the Huns, achieved amazing results. However, the Huns were defeated but failed and recovered.

In Chinese history, in the war against northern ethnic minorities, only Emperor Wu of Han war against the Huns deserves the word "po". As for the war against the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, the realm was higher, and it was directly the word "po", not the word "po".

Is Zhou Yang, the Marquis of the Pose, a Marquis of Delivery, unfair to be savored?

So what can Yanmu be like? Who said that Zhou Yang was the most capable person against the Huns for decades? If the Han Dynasty had determined to make a decision, to defeat the Huns, to chase the people who led the troops to the north of Mo, who would be the one who left Zhou Yang?

Zhou Yafu was so happy that he really wanted to laugh happily. With this title, Zhou Yang would almost have made contributions to defeating the Huns in the future. Zhou Yafu knew how great Emperor Jing’s ambition was. If he hadn’t been able to laugh now, he would have hugged Zhou Yang and smiled happily.

"World Hu Hou!World Hu Hou!"
