The Three Kingdoms

But the sense of honor cannot be eaten, and no one is a saint. They fought bloody battles not only for the court, but also for the rewards that Sun Quan said, in order to honor their ancestors. If there is no actual sweetness, they may still obey. order, but their hearts will be slack and lazy,

"That's a big problem!"

Sun Quan rubbed his temples, put down the blanket wrapped around his body, pondered for a while, and said: "Although we won a complete victory in this battle, we drove straight in, knocked on the door of the Roman Empire, and seized the Roman Empire, big and small, important It’s not important, there are as many as five major provinces, but the result is also very tragic, we still need to cheer up the soldiers and boost their morale!"

"Your Majesty's decree!"

"Egypt is easy to talk about!" Sun Quan continued to look at the map: "It is understandable that Zhao Yun is the first. Although he is a prince, his meritorious deeds are enough to be crowned king. With Jerusalem as his capital, the east reaches the Persian Gulf and the south reaches the Nile River. , west to the sea of ​​Rome, north to [-] miles south of Damascus, establish the Kingdom of Zhao!"

As soon as his golden mouth opened, Zhuge Jin began to record it continuously.

"Syria?"

Sun Quan thought about it: "Just award the civil servants of the cabinet, and the military generals will fight at the front. If there is no support from the cabinet, what is the victory? , let them give them two!"

"As for Asia and Tithonia, reward the heroes in this battle. These two provinces are not big, but only a dozen or so cities. For meritorious service books, the dukes and above will be suppressed temporarily, and the rest will be established as city-states!"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes: "What I want is a West where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend!"

He thought that in the future, because of his rewards, the West would once again enter the Warring States Period, when a hundred flowers blossomed and a hundred schools of thought contended, and he suddenly felt a little bit of complacency in his heart.

[Text 470 Chapter Nine Decisions]

As the imperial decree of the reward was handed down, some Wu Jun, who had been demoralized due to the excessive casualties after the war, instantly boiled like chicken blood.

"Your Majesty really speaks well, and you have no regrets!"

"The imperial court can award such a vast territory. It seems that the previous rumors are correct. Your Majesty wants to award the entire western territory!"

"They can get the fief, and in the next war, we can get the fief too!"

"We have conquered less than one-third of the territory of the Roman barbarians, and there is still most of the territory. Boys, train me up. In the future, if we can win the Sacred Heart of His Majesty, it depends on whether we work hard or not!"

"A division of the Parthian Legion, there is a small battalion commander in it, but he came from a poor family and never studied in the martial arts hall. Since he joined the army, he has been promoted step by step by virtue of his military exploits. Now he has been awarded a title and fiefdom by virtue of the Antioch battle. He is a model. !"

"If they can do it, we can do it too. Next time, we will have our name in the title!"

"Soldiers, get moving. Do you want a fiefdom? Do you want a title? Train well and fight bravely in the future. That's the policy!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, how can we wait to die!"

"..."

Facing such a generous reward, the already low morale was swept away at this moment.

The fighting spirit and motivation of the soldiers have been aroused.

They yelled loudly, not for the court, not for the so-called righteousness of the nation, and not for the honor of the descendants of Yan and Huang. They were for that title, that fiefdom.

It's not selfishness, it's reality.

Human nature is such that you can't ask everyone to die for the court. When they feel that their comrades around them have passed away in battles, they will also get tired of war and want to escape from war.

But reality will make them more morale, reality will make them more motivated, reality will make them stronger from the heart, and reality will make them instantly fearless.

So Sun Quan directly stimulated them with reality.

Sun Quan succeeded.

In the face of Sun Quan's lure, everyone from the commander of the army to the small soldiers was uneasy. In the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month, each army devoted themselves to post-war recovery training in full swing, full of determination not to take half a step back. Looking forward to next year's battle.

Because only by continuing to fight, there will be more territory supply rewards.

"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, if you don't make a move, it will be thunderous!"

In a camp on the coastal plain outside Byzantium, the commanders of the first theater and the second theater of the two theaters also gathered together at this time.

"I waited all my tongue, but I couldn't restore the low morale in the army caused by the excessive casualties in the war. I thought that next year's battle would become a bit low morale due to this year's casualties, but His Majesty's decree made us Rack your brain to do what you want!"

"This time, His Majesty is really generous!"

"Don't talk about the establishment of hundreds of city-states, let's talk about kingdoms and duchies. After this battle, five vassal states were defeated, Macedonian Kingdom, Great Zhao Kingdom, Great Liang Dukedom, Zhang Zibu's Dajing Kingdom, Kuai Good Duke of Chu, just thinking about it makes me jealous!"

"Don't be jealous, we still have a chance!"

"Correct!"

"We haven't even captured one-third of the Roman Empire. If we can completely capture Rome, then this will become our fief!"

"I am looking forward to the next year's battle more and more now!"

The hearts of all the army commanders are getting hotter and hotter at this moment.

Among the rewards this time, the heroes of the middle-level generals were rewarded more, and even Mesopotamia, which had no intention of being rewarded, also cut out half of the territory, plus two Aria and Titoni In the province of ADB, there are also border cities between several vassal states, and there are no less than [-] cities that establish a state with one city.

But in fact, the high-level generals did not get too many awards.

Except for Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, basically the generals above the commander of the army did not receive any direct award territory.

Zhao Yun established the State of Zhao in Jerusalem because Sun Quan wanted to check and balance the Macedonian Kingdom among the Egyptian provinces. Although Sun Quan was not very afraid of Aria Alexander, he was a little worried after all.

And Ma Chao.

His battle was a real meritorious service. Sun Quan had said beforehand that whoever can enter the city first will win the city of Antioch.

In the Battle of Antioch, he took the lead and broke into the city with the momentum of being invincible. He was one step ahead of Ju Yi's central army, entered the city wall, and entered the city. Naturally, he was the number one hero.

Sun Quan rewarded him, it was a matter of course.

"Okay, the issue of rewards is up to His Majesty to discuss with the imperial court. We are soldiers, so discussing the military situation is the right policy!"

Lu Bu, the leader of the military aircraft, spoke. He was a little indifferent to this matter. He had already completed the rewards for the vassal states. The establishment of the Dalu Kingdom was established a few years ago. To take Sun Quan's place, otherwise there would be nothing to tempt him.

But he knows better than anyone that Sun Quan, who is in full swing, is irreplaceable.

So now he has only one goal, to personally lead the army to pacify Rome, and achieve a reputation that will last forever.

With a serious face, he said in a deep voice: "In the first battle this year, I, Da Wu, mobilized troops from the four major theaters of the war zone, and fought on the east and west sides. Although we won the victory and achieved brilliant results, our casualties were also very serious. , what is more important now is the issue of recruits, I don't want to affect next year's battle!"

"Sun Shangshu and Cheng Pu Cizun have personally escorted [-] recruits to the west by land and sea!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "I guess, it will take at least half a month before we can start to replenish the source of troops!"

"It's late December now, will it be next year?" The generals frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"In this way, wouldn't it take half a year to complete the integration, can we afford it?"

Zhang He raised a question.
