The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 454 Promotion
Because the situation of the whole world has changed, after Zhang Wu returned to Xiangyang, he started a series of adjustments.

Having won two big victories one after another and conquered so many territories, Zhang Wu felt that he should reward himself. After all, as the leader, he has the most credit for his leadership.

Although he is neither king nor public, he can promote himself. If he is not promoted as the leader, how can the people below be promoted?The people below went through life and death for him, braved arrows and stones to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, and fought against Cao Jun's cavalry with their flesh and blood, wasn't it just for promotion and fortune?How many people are really desperate for what Zhang Wu said to serve the court?

Those who survive can get promoted and get rich, and those who die in battle can also get a pension, which can ensure that their families have no worries about food and clothing. This is the most important reason why soldiers dare to fight and fight to the death. Ideals and beliefs and the like Although important, it is not universal.

Zhang Wu's current official position is General Chariot and Cavalry, ranking third among military officers in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are General Hussar and General in front of him. This time he directly promoted himself to the position of General.

The rank of the general at the end of the Han Dynasty was higher than that of the three princes (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong), and he was the number one in the army who actually held military power.After Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make the princes, he was once worshiped as a general (in fact, he was self-appointed), and Yuan Shao was named a captain, which made Yuan Shao very dissatisfied.

The most powerful prince at that time was Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was a man who wanted to save face. You, Cao Cao, have been following me since childhood, and now you want to be bigger than me?So Yuan Shao refused to accept the position of Taiwei. Cao Cao didn't dare to tear up his face with Yuan Shao at that time, so he had to give up the position of general to Yuan Shao, and he took the position of Sikong himself.

After defeating Yuan Shao and completely annihilating several of Yuan Shao's sons, Cao Cao didn't care about the position of this great general anymore. He directly abolished the Sangong, restored the prime minister system, and appointed himself the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Until now, Cao Cao has also served as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Although Zhang Wu didn't want to promote himself to a title, it was still possible to promote himself to an official position, which did not violate the system of the great man.That guy He Jin was originally a butcher, because his younger sister entered the palace and became a queen and became a general. Zhang Wu now occupies half of the country and holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How can he not be a general.

But this matter cannot be said by Zhang Wu himself, that would be a bit of a drop in price. When Cao Cao wanted to be the Duke and King of Wei, he didn't ask for it himself. Many people begged him to be the king.

There is no shortage of such people under Zhang Wu. After being a leader for so many years, Zhang Wu naturally knows that there are all kinds of people under his command. In charge of saving face.

On the second day after Zhang Wu returned to Xiangyang, the imperial literati Huang She wrote an article praising Zhang Wu's achievements, and then united a group of officials to request Zhang Wu to be promoted to the post of general.

Who is Huang She?He is not only the head of the Huang family, the top aristocratic family in Jingzhou, but also a close confidant of Zhang Wu. He is a veteran who has taken refuge with Zhang Wu very early.When Zhang Wu only had one city in Jiangxia, he was attacked by Sun Quan's [-]-strong army. Huang She abandoned his position as governor and spent all his wealth to recruit soldiers to help Zhang Wu tide over the difficulties.

Zhang Wu is a nostalgic person, so when Zhang Wu took power in Jingzhou, not only did Huang She sit firmly in the position of the head of the Huang family, but also let the Huang family continue to maintain the status of the first-class family in Jingzhou.Now the Huang family is a top wealthy family in the whole world. The business of the Huang family extends to Huns, Xianbei and other places in the north, and to Champa, Luzon and other places in the south. The children of the Huang family are in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou. There are many official positions in other places.

Although Huang She's position is not high and he doesn't command soldiers, he is one of the few people who can freely enter and leave Chuhou's Mansion without notification, and he can come to Chuhou's Mansion for food at any time.It is said that Zhang Wu, Mi Heng, Pang Tong, Huang She, Hua Tuo and others often hold small literary meetings in private and write some interesting articles. As for the content, outsiders don’t know. Huang She is "Brother She".

So when Huang She started, everyone knew what to do. When Zhang Wu declined once, all officials of sufficient rank unanimously asked Zhang Wu to be promoted to the post of general.

This time, Zhang Wu was no longer modest. In troubled times, any bandit leader would dare to call himself a general or generalissimo. Back then, Li Jue was still the chief minister. Zhang Wu felt that he was already modest enough.

Therefore, Zhang Wu took the post of general and asked people to write a watch to play the emperor. At the same time, he also wanted to spy on Cao Cao's current situation, because Zhang Wu learned from the spies that Cao Cao was not in good health.

Zhang Wu knew that Cao Cao suffered from headaches for a long time, and it was from this disease that he eventually died.When I watched TV dramas in my previous life, I had a deep impression on Cao Cao when he had a headache, dizzy and in unbearable pain.Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao because of this incident. Now that Hua Tuo is under his command, no one in this world can completely cure Cao Cao's headache.

A person's condition is often closely related to his mood. In the past two years, Cao Cao has failed one after another, lost troops and lost a lot of territory. Maybe his condition is more serious than before?

Calculated, Cao Cao is almost sixty, which is considered a long life in this era. It is said that the national average life expectancy during the Three Kingdoms period was less than thirty.Even if Cao Cao's living standard is good, and there are many doctors around him, but the 30 years of the Southern and Northern Wars will definitely have a great impact on the body, maybe Cao Cao will die in two years!
Once Cao Cao died, Zhang Wu felt that his chances of winning would increase by [-]%, not only because Cao Cao's own ability was among the top in the world, but also because Cao Cao could suppress conflicts in all aspects when he was alive. lack of prestige.

After Zhang Wu promoted himself, it was time to promote his subordinates. He wanted to take advantage of this job adjustment to make some personnel adjustments.

The first to be promoted were his two sworn brothers, who were his closest and most trusted people, and the people who started the business together.Due to his personal ability, Chen Sun has never held any prominent position, and Zhang Wu has never let him lead the army on the battlefield, mainly because he is afraid that he will die, but Chen Sun has been helping Zhang Wu guard the rear for many years. It is also very important that Zhang Wu can lead the troops in battle with confidence.

Chen Sun was appointed by Zhang Wubiao as a general of the Fujun Army and concurrently as the prefect of Xiangyang. He is also the only person who holds both the position of a general and a civil servant. However, Chen Sun's main job is to be in charge of the city defense of Xiangyang, and he is in charge of the [-] elite defenders in Xiangyang City. , Optimistic about Zhang Wu's home.

As for the post of prefect of Xiangyang, it is only a name, and the specific affairs are handled by someone else.

Gan Ning was listed as General Wei, which is an official position second only to General General, General Hussars, and General Chariots. Bi San Gong means to enjoy the treatment of San Gong.Gan Ning is the number one general under Zhang Wu's command. Not only is he experienced and outstanding, but he is also very capable.
