The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 97 Rewarding and Punishing the Corrupt Wei Yan

The next day, under the city of Linxiang.

Wenpin Fujian came here after hearing the news, because he heard that Zhang Xian's subordinates had killed Zhang Xian, so he came to offer his head.Originally, he thought it would take more than ten days for Zhang Xian to be defeated.

I didn't expect him to be quite powerful.

Pressing the sword and scanning his eyes, it was Zhang Xian and the head of the corporal under his command, his eyes were still open angrily, as if he was dying.

"Hehe, it's really a great kindness for you to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. When the lord takes Xiangyang, I will make a table to ask for credit for the two generals." Wen Pin said frankly.

The two were overjoyed, and quickly cupped their fists in thanks.

"Since the two generals have abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, it would be better to raise the flag high and gather the defeated soldiers. This is another great achievement. I don't know if the two generals are willing to go."

Wenpin tried to ask.

"I will follow the order."

After finishing these, Wenpin turned around and left, and said at the same time: "Can the news come from my lord?"

"Not yet, but Zhang Xian's general said that the lord has captured Xiangyang and is heading to Changsha by land and water." The general clasped his fists and said heartily, "However, the general's achievements in this campaign are so outstanding that he can take Changsha alone. The lord will definitely reward you."

"My lord took Xiangyang so quickly?"

Wen Pin raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and at the same time said without arrogance or impatience: "Pass down the order and restrain the generals of all ministries. You must not disturb the people or deceive the people. If you commit a crime, you will be punished severely."

"In addition, rectify the three armies and wait for them in strict battle. After the lord arrives in person, we will send people to recover the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling."

"No!" All the generals agreed happily.

In this battle, even if they were not the first to attack, they would still be considered a great victory. Not only would they be rewarded, but they would also be able to follow along with the promotion of officials.

Then, for three consecutive days.

Wenpin gathered more than 2 of Zhang Xian's rout soldiers, and the remaining [-] people probably went up the mountain or returned home.

For a while, Wenpin held [-] fine armors, even if he proclaimed himself king at this time, it would be all right.

…………

Hundreds of miles away, the army stretches for more than ten miles.

At this time, the cavalry rushed over and shouted anxiously: "Report~, my lord, General Wen captured Linxiang half a month ago, and now he has taken the head of Zhang Xianxiao, swallowed his armor and waited for the lord."

"Zhang Xian is dead?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"Three days ago, he was killed by the owl's head and his subordinates." The sentinel said anxiously.

"Hehe, okay, what a Wenpin, he has brought a team of thousands of people to tens of thousands, and finally he has lived up to my hard work." Zhang Xiu laughed heartily.

Xu Shu was also emotional, clasped his fists and said: "Master, General Wen is brave and good at fighting, and this time he made a surprise attack on Linxiang. It can be said that he has made a great contribution, and he should be rewarded."

"However, if he acted on his own without showing up on the list, he should be punished."

Zhang Xiu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhi should know that the general's military orders abroad will not be accepted, if he passes them back and forth, how can he win such a big victory?"

"My lord has misunderstood the meaning of my subordinates. My lord can punish me with one hand, but I can reward twice. Otherwise, all the generals in the camp will use this as an excuse in the future to use troops without authorization. What should my lord do?"

Xu Shu's eyes were burning, and he looked at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu frowned, nodded involuntarily and said: "I was negligent, this trend cannot last long, if it wins, it's fine, but if it loses, it must be a disastrous defeat."

"My lord is wise," Xu Shu said comfortingly.

"Okay, since Zhang Xian has already been executed, I will lead the guards to gallop to Linxiang first, and you, Yuan Zhi, will follow." Zhang Xiu said heartily.

"Promise!" Xu Shu agreed.

…………

At noon, Linxiang City.

Zhang Xiuling's personal guards came galloping on horseback, so Wenpin couldn't go out of the city to meet him.

Enter the city and take a quick look around.

Everything in the city is still in good order, and the people who come and go have no longer panicked earlier, and have started to get busy, once again living a life of going out early and returning late.

After a while, he will be outside the house.

Wenpin and other ministries have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Looking at Zhang Xiu's arrival at this time, Wenpin's generals took a step forward, clasped their fists and said: "The last general will see the lord."

Zhang Xiu looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Wenpin, you did not obey the order in this battle and acted without authorization. It is really a big mistake. If I don't punish you, it will be difficult to convince you."

"And remove your general position and demote you to be a governor. You can accept the punishment."

Wenpin lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "I will accept the punishment at the end."

But behind him, all the generals looked at each other, a little dissatisfied, wanting to defend but dare not, as for Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Xiu from the corner of his eye.

"However, in this battle, Nian Ru was brave and went up first. He first took Jiangxia, and then broke Linxiang. He defeated the generals repeatedly, and even returned Zhang Xianxiao's head. It was a great victory."

"Our army was able to take control of Jingnan so easily. Your contribution is indispensable. After the class division, I will go to the imperial court and transfer you as General Annan, and I will control the two troops."

Zhang Xiu's voice was resonant.

Hearing this, Wenpin was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to him and said, "The final general would like to thank the lord for his promotion, and he will work hard and live up to the lord's entrustment."

He naturally knew why Zhang Xiu's move was demoted first and then relocated. The purpose was to let others not follow suit, otherwise they would be punished if something happened. It was considered in many ways.

And this time, he was directly listed as General Annan from a miscellaneous general. It can be said that he was promoted to three ranks, and the command army was doubled, so that he could better train his own generals.

Because of this, their backs will be full of joy, and the promotion of civil employment means their promotion, and the most direct salary for promotion will increase a lot.

"By the way, my lord, I want to recommend someone to you." Wenpin glanced at Wei Yan. He originally wanted to keep Wei Yan by his side as a general, but the latter was obviously unwilling to be subordinated to others.

"Oh~, who is it!"

"Wen Chang, hurry up and see the lord." Wen Pin said in a deep voice.

"Centurion Wei Yan, I have met my lord." Wei Yan said with a forgiving face and a serious expression, neither humble nor overbearing at this time.

"Wei Yan?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly. He didn't ask for Wei Yan earlier because there was no relevant record of this period in history. He didn't expect that he was actually in Changsha.

This is a fierce general of one side, brave and resourceful. After returning to Liu Bei, he fought bravely and was promoted one after another. In the end, he ruled Hanzhong alone. He is a rare general in the Shu Han.

It's just a pity that he died, because he had a grudge with Yang Yi and slandered each other. In the end, Yang Yi won, Wei Yan fled, hunted down and killed the three tribes.

"My lord, Wen Chang is brave and good at fighting, and he is also proficient in the art of war. This time to cover up and kill Zhang Xian, he offered many strategies. It is because of this that he won easily." Wen Pin praised without hesitation.

"Oh~," Zhang Xiu smiled warmly, and immediately said: "Wei Yan, Zhongye recommends you like this, and I will use it again. I just don't know if you want to take up any position?"

Wei Yanxi smiled indistinctly, stared at Zhang Xiu with eyes like torches, and clasped his fists for a long time and said: "It's all up to the master's arrangement, even if he is just a groom, Yan will not complain at all."

"Hehe," Zhang Xiu laughed. This Wei Yan is really vigilant, but he is worth cultivating. "I'm a talented person. You don't need to worry, just speak up."

Wei Yan stared at Zhang Xiu for a long time, then he folded his fists and bowed his head, saying: "My lord, with the merits of a junior general, at most he can serve as the commander of a thousand people, but the latter has confidence, so he can control one alone, and I hope the lord will complete it."
