Chapter 26: Become famous in the first battle, famous at home and abroad (2)
Just as Liu Hong dismissed Yang Ci Taiwei, several excited shouts came from far away from outside the hall.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Hong was also shocked by the voice outside the hall. It was only a while ago that Zhu Jun's defeat came from Yingchuan. Now Liu Hong was most afraid of hearing this voice, so he asked quickly.
"Your Majesty, the battle report of Youzhou, Yang Fan, the magistrate of Mayi County, Bingzhou, defeated 400,000 people of Cheng Yuanzhi's troops at the Liaohe Ferry of Youzhou ten days ago."
At this time, a Jinwugu walked into the hall with a book in his hand, and then knelt down to Liu Hong.
"What? What about the battle report? Let me show it."
Liu Hong was shocked, and then excitedly urged Zhang Rang beside him.
"Haha... Not bad, not bad, this Yang Fan is really amazing! Not bad, not bad, not bad, hahaha..."
After reading the battle report with a glance, Liu Hong laughed out loud. This was the first thing that Liu Hong had encountered this year that made him happy.
"Yang Fan?"
Yang Ci frowned slightly from the audience and muttered to himself.
"Yang Ci, what are you muttering there? You are still frowning. Why? Are you unhappy if my county magistrate won a big victory?"
Liu Hong, who was happy, glanced at Yang Ci in the audience, saw him frowning, and then said unhappily.
"No... the old minister dared not, but just heard that His Majesty said about Yang Ci just now, so that's how it is."
Yang Ci shook his hand quickly.
"What? Isn't this Yang Fan the one you are?"
Liu Hong was stunned and asked immediately.
"The old minister has a grandson who also called Yang Fan, whose name is Bowen, and he is currently serving as the county magistrate of Mayi County, Bingzhou."
Yang Ci wiped his sweat and said carefully.
"Well? This Yang Fan is the magistrate of Mayi County, and he is really your grandson."
Liu Hong looked through the battle report again and then smiled at Yang Ci.
"Ah? It's really... it's the old minister's incompetent grandson."
Yang Ci was also shocked. He had seen Yang Fan several times, but he felt that he was timid and weak. He didn't expect that he would do such a thing that could lead to heaven and earth.
"Yes, I am happy today, and your position as a Grand Marshal will inevitably be eliminated, haha... Dear friends, how should Yang Fan give this unparalleled contribution?"
Liu Hong was really happy that he could even take back what he said, and then asked Zhang Rang to let everyone circulate the battle report.
"Your Majesty, since the Zhangjiao rebellion, the imperial army has been defeated repeatedly and its morale has plummeted. Now that there is such a great victory, your Majesty can tell the world that to conquer the morale of the army, the old minister thinks that Yang Fan should be rewarded with great rewards."
Sikong Zhangji took the lead in leaving the list.
The Grandpa Deng Sheng and the Grand Secretary Zhang Wen immediately stepped out of the proposal.
Yang Biao, who was at the end of all officials, was full of sighs. His adopted son actually made such a great contribution, which really made him a great face for the court.
"Wenxian, how do you think you should reward Yang Fan?"
Liu Hong swept around the ministers and smiled when he saw Yang Biao.
"Your Majesty, the child is young, you only need to give him some money."
Seeing Liu Hong ask about him, Yang Biao hurriedly stepped out and said modestly.
"No... you should not give me a reward. If this happens, I think it would be better to grant Yang Fan the general of the defeated thief, and to ask him to recruit soldiers on his own and make new contributions to my great Han Dynasty."
Liu Hong did not think so. Now that the Han Dynasty's army is in a sluggish and its morale is dispersed, it is time to raise a flag, so such a good opportunity must not be missed.
"Ah? Your Majesty..."
Yang Biao was shocked when he heard this. Liu Hong's reward was extremely heavy. He immediately promoted the unknown Yang Fan to the same height as Zhu Junhuangfu Song.
"It's decided, and I will tell the world that the people know that my great man still has a general who can fight."
Liu Hong was obviously disappointed with veterans like Zhu Junhuangfu Song, and hurriedly promoted rookies and put some pressure on these veterans.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
All the officials immediately responded.
Yang Fan became a new nobleman in the court. After Liu Hong announced the world, Yang Fan's reputation swept across the earth like a strong wind.
Countless heroes are deeply impressed by Yang Fan.
Cai Yong, who had just returned to Luoyang as a Yilang, was in a good mood. When he returned home, he quickly ordered his servants to prepare a family dinner and informed his wife and daughter Cai Yan about the happy event.
"Father, Yang Fan is just a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. Why is his father happy for him?"
However, Cai Yan had a different opinion and then sneered.
"Why did Yan'er say that?"
Cai Yong, who was happy, was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.
"Yang Fan's army is only more than 7,000, and the Yellow Turban thieves have more than 400,000. Even if they are all heavenly soldiers and generals, they cannot win!"
Cai Yan analyzed proudly.
"Haha, I don't know what Yan'er is. I've been to Liaohe and my father back then. The battle report has already stated that Yang Fan used a strategy and a flooding strategy to destroy the main force of the Yellow Turbans with one plan, and the rest were all entangled. Of course, the combat power cannot be compared with the combat soldiers."
When Cai Yong thought of the description in the battle report, he became excited again. For Yang Fan, who was just starting out, this battle was a peak work in all aspects such as strategy, strategy, courage, etc. Although 400,000 were exaggerated, Cai Yong still believed it.
"The Yellow Turban bandits are really stupid too."
Cai Yan couldn't refute, so he finally pouted and said something and turned back to the room.
"Miss, is Yang Zhonglang really that powerful?"
The little maid following Cai Yan suddenly said with her eyes shining.
"What? Xiao Cui, are you moved? Should I be a matchmaker for you after Yang Fan returns to the court?"
Cai Yan was a little angry. What were the common men who only knew how to kill were better than half as good as his brother Wei.
"Oh, how can Xiao Cui be worthy of Yang Zhonglang? Miss is worthy of it."
Xiao Cui's pretty face turned slightly red, and she chuckled.
"Hmph, it's just ordinary people."
Looking at Xiao Cui's face, Cai Yan spat a little and stopped talking.
On the other side, Yang Ci and Yang Biao returned home, the two went straight to the study.
"Wenxian, you can send someone to your blog and let him go home for the New Year until the end of the New Year."
After the two of them sat down, Yang Ci immediately said.
"But where Yuan's family..."
Yang Biao wanted to speak but stopped. On one hand, he was his adopted son and on the other hand, his own son. He still knew how to choose.
"I'm confused, Bowen is at its peak now. If he makes a few more military achievements, his future achievements will not be inferior to you, will he still plan your title?"
Yang Ci slapped the desk in front of him and shouted in a low voice.
"What my father taught me was that the child would write a letter in person and explain the blog post."
After listening to his father Yang Ci's explanation, Yang Biao suddenly realized and said quickly.
"I heard that Cai Yong's daughter was both talented and beautiful, and she was in her prime. Now that Cai Yong's official position has been restored, our two families can become children and relatives."
Yang Ci said after a moment of thought.
"Bowen will probably not be happy between the army and the army."
Cai Yong was a literary man, and when he thought of this, Yang Biao said in confusion.
"Haha, no, as soon as I was in the court, I could see that Cai Yong was very fond of Bowen, and my Huayin Yang family is also a wealthy family. If he married his daughter, his family would be more than his family."
Yang Ci said proudly that in his opinion, marrying his daughter would be worthy of him.
"It's better to discuss this matter with him after the blog post comes back!"
When she abandoned Yang Fan, she now wants to find a way to please her, which makes Yang Biao feel embarrassed.
"Since ancient times, children's marriage depends entirely on the words of matchmakers and the orders of their parents."
Yang Ci was furious when he heard this.
"Yes...father taught me a lesson..."
Yang Biao dared not refute, so he could only nod and respond.
"My father also said that Bowen will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. According to my own opinion, it is better to wait until the Bowen class returns to the court before discussing with him. If we make decisions without authorization, it will be counterproductive."
After Yang Ci's anger faded, Yang Biao hurriedly spoke and persuaded him.
"Well, what Wenxian said is reasonable, then wait until the Bowen team returns to the court before discussing this matter with him!"
After Yang Ci calmed down at this time, he felt that Yang Biao was right and immediately responded.
Chapter completed!
