Xu Shu came to seek an official position?

How could he come to seek refuge with him?

Xu Shu didn't even like Cao Cao, and shouldn't he vote for Liu Bei?

All kinds of doubts and puzzlements made Zhou Cheng briefly dazed for a while.

"Lord, Lord?"Li Ru called Zhou Cheng softly several times.

Zhou Cheng came to his senses, gave his approval, and said,"Since Wen Qian recommended it, let him come to Liaocheng first."

You still have to interview when you should.

Even if Xu Shu is indeed a talented person in history,

"Here."The guard turned and left.

……

Zhou Cheng divided the seats into three areas according to the standard of Wei Wuhou's banquet for meritorious soldiers.

The first class is the least, with only fifty seats.

The second class is slightly larger, with 200 seats.

The third class is the largest, with 500 seats.

The day came when the feast began.

Meritorious soldiers from all armies put on their armor and entered the house.

After entering the mansion, there were palace guards who led them to their respective seats.

Everyone sitting in the front row raised their heads deliberately.

Those sitting in the middle row and back row are much more restrained.

At this time, Zhou Cheng walked in. In his hands, there was a guard holding a plate with embroidered silk on it.

The silk cloth has the word"zhou" embroidered with gold thread.

Zhou Cheng said:"This is embroidered by the ladies' hands. I wrote it myself and gave it to you."

On each silk handkerchief, Zhou Cheng wrote personally the achievements of each person.

"Chen De, since Wancheng, has been fighting with a certain person, beheading two of Zhu Jun's guards, and then attacked Yecheng, beheading five people... When attacking Fuyu King's City, he was the first to ascend the city, beheading twelve levels, and then followed the army to attack Goguryeo. Beheading Level 14……"

"Ma Tong, who followed the army from Yecheng, fought with Lu Zhi and was beheaded at the fourth level. He fought with Kuitou and was beheaded at the eleventh level.……"

Zhou Cheng started to read the names in order.

Chen De and Ma Tong were just small pawns who followed Zhou Cheng in his expeditions to the east and west. Now, relying on their military exploits, some were promoted to captains of Zhou Wu's troops, some to Marquis of Dawn Cavalry, and some to captains of Huben Battalion.

But Zhou Cheng only read the names of fifty people and only rewarded fifty silk handkerchiefs.

These silk handkerchiefs are equivalent to military medals and represent the highest honor of soldiers.

Later, Zhou Cheng took out the casting again.

Fifty swords with the word"loyalty and bravery" engraved on the hilt.

Everyone came to Zhou Cheng in order of name.

Chen De was the first to step forward and knelt in front of Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng handed the sword and silk handkerchief to Chen De.

"Chen De is willing to be smashed to pieces for his lord!"

Under the atmosphere of the scene and under the gaze of countless people, Chen De roared with tears in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Tong and others also came to receive the rewards in order.

Their order was even ahead of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others..

As long as they perform meritorious service and are loyal, they will be rewarded, and Zhou Cheng will remember them.

Inspire the courage of the soldiers and make them yearn for honor. Even if they are just a small soldier, they will fight to the end for honor.

This is what Zhou Cheng wrote in"Wu" Harvest from"Zi".

To govern the army and the people, we need not only clear rewards and punishments, but also incentives.

……

September 198 AD.

The fourth day when Taishi Ci attacked Luoyang.

The Xiliang army in the city could no longer withstand the pressure and wanted to secretly open the city and surrender.

"The Zhou army is unstoppable. If we continue to resist, we will only die."

"Dong Cheng didn't care about our life and death at all, so he surrendered to Duke Zhou."

"Tonight, we raise a fire as a signal to open the city to welcome the Zhou army."

In the evening, the defenders in the city secretly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.

Taishi Ci, who was outside the city, learned that the defenders in the city had surrendered, and immediately sent Guo Huai into the city.

If there was a trick, he would let Guo Huai's troops die..

Guo Huai was more upright and had no limit. He led his troops and horses into the city.

Guo Huai shouted loudly:"Those who surrender will be spared death!""

The troops and horses guarding the city all dropped their weapons.

They were not Dong Cheng's subordinates in the first place, and they were not willing to sacrifice their lives for Dong Cheng.

Now that Guo Huai has entered the city, it is natural for them to surrender.

Dong Cheng learned that Xiliang After the army opened the city gate, their faces were ashen.

Then Dong Cheng hurriedly led his army and horses to fight Guo Huai.

However, when the Xiliang army beside Dong Cheng heard that Guo Huai and Zhou army had entered the city, you see Look at me, let me look at you.

When Dong Cheng left, the suspension bridge at the west gate of Luoyang was also lowered and the gate was opened.

The Zhou army outside the city entered the city

"kill!"

"Kill!"

The cry of killing once again enveloped the city of Luoyang.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace panicked and fled in all directions.

The guards guarding the palace hurriedly closed the palace door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

A young eunuch, all his shoes ran away. In panic, he ran to Liu Xie's palace and reported in a panic:"Your Majesty, the rebels have entered the city.

Liu Xie asked:"Where is the general?"!

The eunuch replied:"I don't know." Liu

Xie pulled out his sword from the sword stand and walked out of the palace.

Dong Guiren hurriedly caught up with Liu Xie, hugged Liu Xie and asked,"Where are you going, Your Majesty?""

Liu Xie's veins popped up on his forehead, and he said coldly:"You want to see who dares to kill the king!"
