Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 40 Colorful flattery

In order to avoid punishment from the system, Liu Ce immediately sang with lyrics instead of dirty words.

After being supported by various clans in Hebei, the business developed very smoothly.

After more than a year of hard work, Liu Ce assisted the governor Wang Fen, and quickly stabilized the situation in Jizhou.

Almost all the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou were wiped out except for the Black Mountain Army.

The time has just entered the third year of Zhongping, that is, the spring of 186 AD.

Seeing that the situation in Jizhou was basically stable, Liu Ce immediately ordered Jushou, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan to lead [-] soldiers to Youzhou to help Liu Yu.

Wang Fen reported Liu Ce's meritorious deeds to the imperial court, and planned to invite him for meritorious service.

At this time, Emperor Han Ling was ordering the restoration of the Nangong Palace that was destroyed by fire last year, and it was a critical time for lack of money.

After Liu Ce's continuous rewards some time ago, he has become a wealthy and wealthy tycoon.

So he took the opportunity to order Xi Zhicai and Que Chao to secretly go to Luoyang with gold and silver to bribe Bi Lan and Zhao Zhong.

Half a month later, Liu Ce was immediately promoted to the prefect of Yecheng, the Marquis of Jinzhang Township, and was named General of Fujun Zhonglang.

Jushou was named the chief governor of Youzhou, Tian Feng was named Sima of Jizhou Biebu, and Xi Zhicai was named the governor of Yejun.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhang He and Wei Yan were promoted to partial generals.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Chen Dao, Yan Liang, Tian Meng, etc. were promoted to bei generals, and many other generals were also promoted.

Liu Yu was also secretly helped by Liu Ce, and was granted the title of Colonel Hu Xianbei and Marquis of Xiangben by the emperor, and was granted a leave of absence with a yellow Yue.

Festival and Yue are two different utensils.

Festival is Yan Festival, also called Fu Festival.

It is made of bamboo and decorated with yak tail. It was originally a token held by the messenger, mostly white.

When it is inconvenient or unnecessary for the emperor to come in person, but it is necessary to show the emperor's authority, favor and act on behalf of the emperor, he will send a person to hold a talisman, which can be called "chijie", or false festival, envoy festival, etc.

To put it simply, a Yue is an axe.

It is distinguished from the perspective of color, there are yellow axe and black axe.

Huang Yue is a golden axe, and Xuan Yue is an iron axe.

The use of the Yue is similar to that of festivals. It is the embodiment of imperial power, and it is also a kind of voucher and token to affirm and bless the authority of the granter.

Therefore, holding an ax means that the emperor has given the one who holds the ax the power of life and death.

As for whether the emperor bestows a yellow or black axe, it depends entirely on the status of the recipient.

For example, for a respected clan member of the Han family like Liu Yu, the emperor would naturally give a yellow axe to show his dignity.

When Liu Ce was busy discussing the farming system with Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai in the prefect's mansion in Yecheng, he suddenly received another system prompt one day.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully intercepting General Wen Chou of Yuan Shao and being rewarded with the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Gun (force +9)]

Liu Ce suddenly raised his head and looked towards the gate.

"What's the situation? I haven't been able to find him for half a year, why did I take the initiative to send it to my door today?"

Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai looked at each other when they saw Liu Ce suddenly said such a sentence for no reason.

"My lord, why did you say something strange again?"

"That means something is going to happen again, just wait and see..."

After the two finished speaking, they turned their heads in tacit agreement and looked in the direction of the door.

The three of them watched in silence for about a cup of tea, and finally saw two figures walking towards them quickly.

The person walking in front is Man Chong, and his face is full of joy at this moment.

But the tall man following Man Chong, the three of them looked a little strange.

After Man Chong entered the room, he immediately cupped his fists and said.

"My lord, I would like to recommend a righteous man for you today!"

Liu Ce chuckled when he heard the words, and then nodded with satisfaction at the people behind Man Chong.

"The righteous man you mentioned should be the one behind you, right?"

After hearing this, Man Chong immediately nodded and said yes, then turned around and introduced.

"This righteous man's surname is Wen and his name is Chou. I met him today when I went to Lin County to arrest fugitives! If he hadn't helped me at that time, I might not have come back!"

Liu Ce immediately became curious when he heard this, and he also understood the kung fu all over his body.

"How do you say that? I know your Man Boning's ability, and there are situations that you can't handle?"

Man Chong blushed instantly when he heard this, and then continued with an embarrassed smile.

"Today is a lowly job and carelessness. I only brought three or five people to arrest people! Unexpectedly, the gangster had more than a hundred accomplices. We were ambushed..."

Wen Chou couldn't bear it anymore at this time, so he interrupted with a smile.

"At that time, I just finished drinking and wanted to go back to the inn to sleep! But when I saw officers and soldiers being surrounded, I instinctively wanted to help if I could. At that time, I picked up a stone and rushed towards the Mandarin..."

Hearing this, Liu Ce, Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng were all taken aback.

This person rushed towards Man Chong with a stone?

Dare he go to help gangsters beat officers and soldiers?
"Hehe, that sounds interesting! Then what happened next?"

Liu Ce couldn't help laughing, and Man Chong's face was also embarrassed.

"There was indeed some misunderstanding at the time. The strong man mistakenly thought that we were bad guys who oppressed the people, and he almost killed us on the spot... But fortunately, my lord, your reputation is so great that we saved the lives of the humble officials and others."

Man Chong's rainbow fart is too blunt, right?
No matter how awesome I am, can I scare away a hundred gangsters without anyone present?

After that, you won't be needed in wars anymore, I can just use my name to scare the enemy.

"My lord, isn't that what you said a little too much?"

Xi Zhicai couldn't take it anymore, so he kindly reminded him.

After hearing this, Man Chong didn't feel embarrassed at all, but became even more excited.

"Master Xi, you weren't there! It was really the lord's reputation that turned the world around..."

As soon as he said this, Wen Chou answered again.

"That's right! When I heard that I was under General Liu Ce's subordinates, I immediately turned against you! I hit one with a stone and kicked two... Those idiots were all beaten away in a short while. Hehehe... "

After finishing speaking, Wen Chou looked at the crowd and became amused.

"By the way, we've been talking for a long time! Who is General Liu Ce?"

Wow, this guy has been chatting with Liu Ce for a long time, but he still hasn't figured out who he is.

Liu Ce coughed in embarrassment, Man Chong quickly turned around and introduced.

"Strong man, this is the heroic, heroic, benevolent and righteous Lord Liu Ce!"

Unknowingly, Man Chong came up with another set of colorful rainbow flattery, which made Liu Ce's old face a little hot when he heard it.

Wen Chou knelt down on one knee immediately after hearing this.

"Lord Liu! I kowtow to you on behalf of my whole village! If you hadn't distributed disaster relief food widely in Hejian, my father, mother, and brothers would have starved to death! My parents said when I went out, let me I must find you and ask me to repay their favor! Please take me in, the general!"

As he spoke, Wen Chou knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times.

Liu Ce couldn't help laughing after knowing the truth: It seems that good people are rewarded with good rewards!

Immediately, Liu Ce accepted Wen Chou and named him Captain Cavalry.

Man Chong was appointed magistrate of Ye County and promoted to General Bei because of his meritorious service in recommending him (good flattering).
