Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 668 The Bloody Martyr
After listening to Deng Zhanzhi's words, Liu He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Deng Zhan, you, you are all for me. If you say that I am guilty, you don't need to carry such a burden. Doesn't matter? If you can't be canonized just because of this, how many of my [-] generals can't be canonized? The dead are gone. Although those poor people have passed away, I will order people Finding out their identities one by one and giving generous pensions to their families is worthy of them, and at the same time, you have made great contributions to me, and accepting the reward is also due, there is no need for this."

However, Deng Zhan said softly: "Even if you give them more pensions, they will not be able to survive."

Liu He was startled when he heard the words, and felt that what Deng Zhan said made sense, even though he was eloquent, he suddenly had nothing to say.

Then I saw Deng Zhan saying: "What's more, Your Majesty doesn't have to take responsibility for this. This matter has nothing to do with you. It is entirely the choice of the general himself. And this is still the biggest reason for the general to refuse the canonization. The biggest reason is that, The last general kills the king, the person who kills the king is unknown, no matter your majesty believes it or not, the last general cannot bring disaster to your majesty because of this."

"Regicide? How can you use such words?" This time Liu He stood up in surprise, and then murmured.

However, Deng Zhan smiled wryly and said: "This is the truth, Your Majesty, you don't know the situation. Although the fire was set off by Zhou Dadu at that time, the fire did not spread quickly. If we try our best to rescue them, we will definitely be able to rescue them all. However, the last general watched the fire spread step by step, and even released all the small boats behind the big boat, which made Emperor Xiaoxian unable to escape, and finally died in the fire pit. Different? Although the final general blamed Cao Pi for killing the king, he has been condemned by his conscience and will not stop for a day. Although Emperor Xiaoxian is incompetent, he dedicated this world to His Majesty after all, Your Majesty After all, he inherited his legacy. Under such circumstances, the last general would be grateful if he was not punished, let alone be conferred by His Majesty again? Please don’t make the last general difficult again, This may make the general feel better."

"Hey, Deng Zhan, although your hands are stained with blood, you can definitely be regarded as a hero. Since you are not willing to accept the canonization, then I will not force it, but I know that the reason you did that is for me, I I will assure you that I will never forget the achievements you have made, and I will let you and your descendants enjoy wealth and glory forever. Deng Zhan Tingfeng, Nanyang Deng Zhan, was appointed by me back then, went to Cao Ying, Bearing the burden of humiliation, you rescued Xun Yu, Zang Ba, Le Jin and others, and entered the Yuxi Seal to present the late emperor's edict. You have made great contributions. You are specially named Wanhou of the founding of the country, and you will not be replaced by hereditary. .”

"This, this, Your Majesty's reward is really too generous!" Deng Zhan was shocked when he heard Liu He's reward, and said hastily.

Because after Liu He ascended the throne, although the Sanguan system was established, the highest Sanguan appointed before was only a doctor of Guanglu from the second rank, and Deng Zhan was directly appointed as the special promotion of the second rank. It was the first one, how could Deng Zhan not be surprised by this?
However, Liu He said: "You endured the humiliation for me, even took it on my behalf, and you did not hesitate to bear all kinds of crimes. With your friendship, even such a seal, I still think it is not enough. Don't shirk it, otherwise my It will hurt even more."

"Weichen, thank you Lord Long En!" Deng Zhan knew that this was Liu He's compensation for not being canonized, and he really couldn't refuse, otherwise it would make the other party feel uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to accept it, and thanked Liu He and grace.

After Deng Zhan left, Liu He looked at his back and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "This is indeed a righteous man, although the 'evil deeds' he has done are really insignificant to some people, and those people are not directly related to him. He started to kill him, but he still blamed himself deeply for it. Relatively speaking, Cao Pi gave such a vicious order to exterminate his family, but he still didn't take it seriously. It's really hateful. Thinking about it this way, he The whole family of the Cao family was killed, which is considered retribution!"

Although Liu He gave enough compensation, he still felt uncomfortable after all, and Deng Zhan refused to be canonized. Liu He didn't know when he would meet the next one who could be canonized, so he was also very depressed.

"Now that I have become the emperor of this empire, there are probably not a few people under my command who are eligible to be canonized. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so take your time."

Despite the distress in his heart, Liu He also felt an inexplicable sense of relief at the same time. This was because he still had faint worries about collecting [-] generals. Now that Deng Zhan refused to accept the canonization, it meant that he would It is very likely that one hundred and eight generals will not be canonized for quite a long period of time, so that I will be more fully prepared to deal with unknown challenges.

However, things were not destined to be that simple, because five months after Liu He became emperor, that is, at the end of the year, the Yizhou soldiers who originally belonged to Lu Bu returned to Chang'an after changing defenses.

It turned out that after Lu Bu surrendered, he went to Yizhou in person, and mentioned to the soldiers under his command that he had been recruited by the court, and handed over Yizhou to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he would not hesitate to make any new appointments. Having said that, Lu Bu also proposed to let the soldiers choose whether to stay or not.

In fact, at this time, Chen Gong had already disclosed the news to the soldiers in the army. The final result was as expected. Almost all the soldiers were willing to accept the surrender and continue to serve in the army. Only a few soldiers who settled down in Yizhou expressed their willingness to surrender. Continue to defend Yizhou.

One month later, Zhou Yu, the governor of Yangzhou, led his army to take over Yizhou. Most of the soldiers in Lu Bu's army took the boat provided by Zhou Yu, crossed the sea to the mainland, and then went to Chang'an to meet Liu He.

Therefore, the people who came to Chang'an this time included all the civil and military generals under Lu Bu's command, including military adviser Chen Gong, generals Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and others.

For the generals under Lu Bu, Liu He has heard of their names a long time ago. He also knows that these people have always been good at fighting, especially proficient in cavalry tactics. Iron cavalry and Youyan iron cavalry have become the three elite cavalry in the world.

Therefore, Liu He is also looking forward to these generals, especially the generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. These two people are very famous in history and romance. Although he has a little worry about the future, Liu He also hopes that this person can meet the canonization requirements. In this way, Liu He can get two more famous generals.
