Chapter 335: On meritorious deeds (9)
Seeing Zhao Yun's appointment, Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned.
Because in his impression, Zhao Yun should be ranked behind Zhang Fei, and even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei vaguely regarded Zhao Yun as their fourth brother.
Liu Bei was used to Zhao Yun's ranking behind Zhang Fei. He suddenly saw that he was suppressed by Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, and he felt really hard to accept.
After a little thought, Liu Bei knew where the matter was. Zhao Yun was targeted by those officials because he opposed the reward of land. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little angry.
As a superior, Liu Bei was not so superficial. After thinking for a while, he felt relieved. This ranking is really no wonder Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng and others.
When Huang Zhong first joined Liu Bei in Changsha, he was a long-time general under Liu Biao and had very deep qualifications. All the generals in Jingzhou were his descendants.
After careful consideration, Liu Bei was appointed Huang Zhong as the general to fight against the enemy. His status was similar to that of Zhao Yun, but it was actually a benchmark.
This time when attacking Xichuan, Huang Zhong, as the vanguard of the army, passed through the obstacles and defeated generals. His military achievements must be above Zhao Yun, and his position was ranked before Zhao Yun, so he was fair.
But Wei Yan's position is a bit abrupt, because he was the goalkeeper who was promoted to the not long time.
This time, the attack on Xichuan was equivalent to Zhao Yun's contribution, but he made many mistakes!
Now Wei Yan is actually ranked ahead of Zhao Yun with the title of General Yang Wu, which surprised Liu Bei, but this incident was caused by himself.
Before discussing merits and doing good deeds, Liu Bei had already told Fa Zheng that he had appointed him as the prefect of Shu County, General Yang Wu, and participated in the reward of meritorious officials.
Because Wei Yan followed Liu Bei into Sichuan this time, he performed well on the battlefield. Although he made many mistakes, he showed his huge potential.
Wei Yan is still under Zhao Yun's age. Liu Bei is determined to focus on cultivating Wei Yan's side, but he knows that Zhuge Liang has a bad impression of Wei Yan. This time, he will reward him on merit and he may deliberately suppress Wei Yan.
Liu Bei did not want to force Zhuge Liang to obey his will, so he asked the law to give appropriate tilt to Wei Yan when he was rewarding merits.
Who knew that Fa Zheng was really concerned about what Liu Bei had told him and directly gave up his position as General Yang Wu to Wei Yan.
Liu Bei knew without asking that Fa Zheng must have been strongly opposed by Zhuge Liang in order to promote Wei Yan.
Liu Bei knew that it was difficult to obtain a decent position based on Wei Yan's contribution and qualifications.
In order to fulfill Liu Bei's instructions, Fa Zheng actually sacrificed his own interests, which made Liu Bei a little unexpected. In comparison, Zhao Yun's contribution was not inferior to Wei Yan, and he felt even more unfair to Zhao Yun.
However, Liu Bei was not disgusted with Fazheng's practice, and his trust in Fazheng in his heart increased greatly, and he had already surpassed Zhuge Liang's.
Liu Bei's guard commander Chen Dao, who had not returned from guarding Yong'an, has not yet come back. Today, it is Zhao Yun who commanded Bai Li's troops to protect Liu Bei's safety. He was on standby outside Liu Bei's tent.
Liu Bei thought about it and felt that the reward was a bit offensive and did treat Zhao Yun badly. He was afraid that Zhao Yun would be in a grudge, so he called Zhao Yun in to listen to his own opinions.
After listening to the news that Liu Bei revealed in advance, Zhao Yun was very calm. When Liu Bei asked him about his opinion, he was very satisfied with his General Zhenyuan.
Liu Bei thought Zhao Yun couldn't help but propose to improve his position, but Zhao Yun firmly refused Liu Bei's kindness to order promotion himself. He did not want to be thrown into another account by his colleagues for that false reputation.
Zhao Yun's noble character of not seeking fame and status deeply moved Liu Bei. When he saw that he insisted on not wanting the high-ranking officials and generous salaries he promised, he became cautious.
Liu Bei thought:
"Zhao Yun is a teenager younger than me. Now he is in his prime, so he is not in a hurry to promote him. He is over fifty years old. Why not leave Zhao Yun to his son Liu Chan and suppress Zhao Yun's rewards a little, and let his son treat him well at that time, maybe the effect will be better!"
After Liu Bei made a decision, he put the reward of Zhao Yun aside and continued to approve the following official documents.
In fact, when Zhao Yun made a comment to Liu Bei this time, the officials saw the flaws. Later, the lord instructed him to do so. In order to obtain Liu Bei's resumption, Zhao Yun sacrificed everyone's land. These officials were very resentful!
Except for Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and several other officials who participated in the reward all had opinions about Zhao Yun and believed that he was a flatterer. When it was Zhao Yun's turn, some people advocated that he simply would not give him a reward and let the lord deal with it himself, with the intention of isolating Zhao Yu.
Zhuge Liang, with a public heart, wanted to make this reward well.
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun as his capable subordinate, and he was very easy to use with Zhao Yun.
This time, he acted as the vanguard of the army led by him, and the contribution he made was almost always under his command. Denying Zhao Yun's achievements was equivalent to denying his achievements, which made him difficult to accept.
He could not explicitly seek official positions for his subordinates, so he firmly disagreed with the advice Fa Zheng granted to General Wei Yanyang.
The dispute between Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang this time was quite unexpected.
As the spokesperson for a group of officials in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang should have won an official position for officials in Jingzhou, but he was unwilling to arrange an official position for Wei Yan of Jingzhou.
As the spokesperson for a group of officials in Xichuan, Fa Zheng should have been seeking official positions for the people of Xichuan. However, they had a fierce confrontation with Zhuge Liang in order to arrange an official position for a general in Jingzhou. Although everyone was a little puzzled, they were silent and allowed to fight between them.
Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were both smart people. They quickly understood each other's demands from each other's words. Both sides took a step back and finally reached a compromise.
Therefore, Wei Yan became General Yang Wu, and Zhao Yun was also appointed as General Zhenyuan.
The seventh place in the list of heroes was Ma Chao, who had just joined Liu Bei. His status was quite special, neither the Jingzhou or the Yizhou. Liu Bei also made arrangements for his official position in advance and was appointed as General Pingxi.
Although Ma Chao is famous, he has been in the process of joining Liu Bei for too short and has no military achievements.
Although Ma Chao's army came to the city of Chengdu and finally forced Liu Zhang to surrender, it was not Ma Chao's personal contribution, but the result of Fa Zheng and others' tricks.
Ma Chao was still a little unbalanced, but when he saw that his martial arts and reputation were not inferior to him, and Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others who had a far superior position were just similar to him, he felt relieved.
The eighth place is Chen Dao, who was appointed as the general of the army.
Chen Dao, whose courtesy name was Shuzhi, has been following Liu Bei since Runan.
He was Liu Bei's guard commander and was known for his loyalty and courage. The Baili soldiers he trained were the bravest of the three armies and were responsible for protecting Liu Bei's safety in normal times. During wartime, these elite Baili soldiers were the vanguard of Liu Bei's attack on cities and villages.
Therefore, Chen Dao had a high position in Liu Bei's army, and his reputation was often behind Zhao Yun. Before entering Xichuan, he was the fourth in Liu Bei's army.
Although Chen Dao stayed in Yong'an, his military soldiers who followed Liu Bei to attack the city and capture the village were all counted on him. This time he was named General of the Army, which was also a popular destination.
The other officials, such as Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, Yi Ji, and the former group of civil and military officials in Jingxiang, were all promoted and promoted to one level.
