Chapter 1189: Become the King？

“ah? Then why does my lord punish me?？”

Zhang Fei's lumpy head still hasn't figured it out yet.

Guo Jia chuckled and said: "I am punishing you to show off to Yuan Shao's old ministers, and it is also for your own good, so that you can remember this lesson and know how to control your emotions. My lord heard that you often get drunk and beat and scold sergeants. Is that right?" or not？”

Zhang Fei scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Yes..”

Guo Jia patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "My lord values ​​you very much and wants you to be his general. Now you can understand his good intentions, right?"？”

Zhang Fei suddenly understood and burst into tears again. He knelt down in the direction of Jiang Siming in the hall and kowtowed three times. He turned around and went to feed the horse without saying a word..

But the 'hero' Xu You was quickly forgotten. He committed suicide and had no one to blame..

Originally, Jiang Siming wanted to give him a casual official position, but now it's omitted, which is good..

The battle in Guandu shocked the princes of the world.

Jiang Siming took care of Yuan Shao, and now his territory has expanded again, with super princes in six states.

After recruiting Yuan Shao's old generals and surrendered troops, Jiang Siming's military strength reached a terrifying million, and his troops, horses and food were dozens of times that of Cao Cao..

It can be said that Jiang Siming already accounts for more than half of the world..

But problems faced Jiang Siming. Jiang Dong, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zan all began to fear Jiang Siming's strength..

It also includes Liu Bei who ran to the border of Yongzhou. Liu Bei really deserves to have the aura of a protagonist..

Originally forced by Jiang Siming to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, he was flattered and flattered by Yuan Shao..

Yuan Shao liked to hear this kind of talk again. He was so happy that he got excited and gave him a lot of soldiers and supplies..

Who would have known that after Liu Bei got these things, he quickly ran out of Yuan Shao's territory and went to Yongzhou to develop..

Yongzhou was originally a poor place, close to the Western Region, and weakly defended. It was quickly captured by Liu Bei and developed rapidly there..

Now he has become a moderate prince, and Liu Bei has also been favored by a city lord in the Western Regions..

This city lord is an old woman, in her forties, and is very interested in Liu Bei, a strong man from the Central Plains..

For the sake of marriage, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and married this old princess who was almost 40 years old..

Although this princess looks unspeakable, she possesses powerful soldiers and power in the Western Regions.

It just so happens that these are what Liu Bei needs most right now..

With the support of this old princess, Liu Bei received the services of tens of thousands of warriors from the Western Regions, and his strength should not be underestimated..

All in all, the five major princes in the world have begun to fear Jiang Siming..

They already have a plan to join forces to fight against the enemy, but they haven't implemented it yet..

Jiang Siming had such a big victory here, so he naturally celebrated and started to manage the three newly acquired states..

It turned out that all the important officials in the prefectures and counties were removed and replaced by Jiang Siming's people, leaving Hua Xin, Jiang Wan and others as the prefectural pastors of the three prefectures, temporarily managing the affairs of the prefectures and counties..

As for the more than 400,000 surrendered troops, Jiang Siming directly dispersed them all in order to prevent these surrendered troops from making any small moves together..

After being dispersed, we began to eliminate the old, weak, sick, disabled and some useless soldiers according to the standards of the Red Armor Army, leaving only the elite soldiers..

Once eliminated, the 400,000 will be reduced by 100,000, and there will still be 300,000.

Jiang Siming did not waste so much labor and directly transferred them to Chang'an, Hanzhong, Yangzhou and other places to settle down and start a career..

These people are running from the north to the south. There is no need to worry about them causing trouble in the southern territory. There are still more than 300,000 young and strong labor force, which will play a great role in promoting the construction of the south..

Jiang Siming in the north did not ignore it. Volunteers were recruited from three southern states. Anyone who is willing to take the initiative to go to the north to start a family can enjoy the preferential policy of tax exemption for five years and free land and houses..

In this way, the control issues in the north and south are solved without delaying the construction issues in the north and south, killing two birds with one stone..

As for the specific details, Jiang Siming doesn't need to worry about it. His 'little brothers' will naturally arrange it well..

Yuan Shao's demise also heralds that Jiang Siming's rule over the Three Kingdoms has taken a big step forward. As long as Cao Cao and Jiangdong are eliminated next, the world can be said to be completely settled..

Others like Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei cannot make any big waves..

After the battle was won, it was natural for the class teacher to return to the court..

This time, the strength of the class teacher is unprecedented. With the territory becoming larger and more confident, the battle will naturally become bigger as well..

Zhen Han's family also followed Jiang Siming back to Chang'an..

Zhen Han's family was originally a hereditary Shang Cai Ling. Previously, because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion in Beijing, his family moved to the north..

Now that Prime Minister Jiang has unified six states and counties in the north and south, Chang'an is blooming with flowers, and Zhen Yi happily agrees to return to the court and continue to serve as an official..

After returning to Chang'an, Jiang Siming immediately held a reward meeting, which was held in the palace..

Almost all the soldiers who participated were rewarded to varying degrees, and soldiers with outstanding performance were promoted to centurions, thousands captains and even junior generals..

Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others were promoted to two levels in a row, and were rewarded with a large amount of money, grain and acres of land..

These rewards sounded so harsh to Liu Xie's ears..

Jiang Siming can award officials and titles at will, but the key is that he has to smile and nod beside him. This kind of life is really worse than death..

Liu Xie just wanted to end it quickly and ran away, out of sight and out of mind..

The award took a whole morning to end..

Jiang Siming thought it was over, and was planning to ask Liu Xie to call for resignation..

Unexpectedly, Wang Yun suddenly stood up, held up an ivory sign and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has worked hard and made great contributions to the country of Han Dynasty. He has made great contributions to supporting the Han Dynasty. I think that Your Majesty should appoint the Prime Minister as the prime minister." king.”

Liu Xie suddenly stood up and subconsciously shouted: "It's impossible！”

Be king！

These two words are particularly loud in the court..

Liu Xie's face turned pale and he proclaimed himself king, although he was still respected as the emperor in name..

But the king's privileges are much greater than those of the prime minister. The king can have his own territory, his own subjects, his own laws, and his own system..

Giving Jiang Siming the title of king means that he can no longer control Jiang Siming at all..

And once the opening of the title of king is opened today, then if they allow him to abdicate, won't his position as emperor have to be handed over to Jiang Siming?？

This is absolutely impossible！

But he doesn't agree, and the officials below won't listen to him.

Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and other generals and military advisors came forward one after another, as well as many officials who had already pledged their hearts to Jiang Siming, and asked for the title of king..

There were a lot of voices in the court hall. They were all shouting for Liu Xie to make Jiang Siming king..

Liu Xie's face became increasingly ugly, and he was almost unsteady on his feet..

Make the king! How did he open this hole?？

Xun Yu looked at all this blankly and wanted to stand up and say a few words, but Xu Shu secretly stopped him..
