Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others also rushed over. After hearing this, they all looked at the messenger Soldiers with curious eyes.
"Report Your Majesty--"
Soldiers bowed respectfully, and then said, "Scouts came to report earlier and found traces of the Rebel Army at Qiang Royal Court, so General Zhang led Mo Dao Army alone to Qiang Royal Court, intending to fight Rebel Army to the death."
"Qiang sent a large army to fight, but was defeated by General Zhang."
"Then General Zhang led his troops into Royal Court, but found no trace of the Rebel Army. After interrogation, we found out that Ma Chao had already led Rebel Army to Shang Commandery deep inside Qiang Lands."
"The leaders of Qiang Royal Court's various ministries have also gone to Shang Commandery, so Royal Court's defense is very empty."
"After learning about this, General Zhang did not want to return without success, so he rescued the trapped people in Royal Court, captured a number of Qiang nobles, and in addition..."
Soldiers said and stopped, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Liu Xie raised his eyebrows when he saw this and asked, "What else happened besides that? Why didn't you say anything?"
Soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "In addition, General Zhang also ordered the massacre of the entire Qiang Royal Court, regardless of gender, age or child, all of them were killed."
"Not only that, General Zhang set fire to the entire Royal Court and Grasslands mountains, and dumped the corpses in major water sources, polluting all the clean fresh water in Qiang..."
After telling what Zhang He had done in Qiang Lands, the Famous Scholars soldier mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, I am humble enough to say something bold, Qiang has done all kinds of evil to our Great Han people. Although General Zhang's move is a bit cruel, it is very satisfying."
"I hope Your Majesty will not punish General Zhang for this."
Soldiers kowtows deeply to Liu Xie.
Son of Heaven had a question and he couldn't help but answer it.
But he felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhang He had no problem with Qiang's actions. To deal with these evil Qiangs, one must fight tooth for tooth and blood for blood!
After hearing these Famous Scholars words, everyone in Xuan Room was stunned.
Even Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be moved by it.
Because Zhang He did it too cruelly, killing all Qiang regardless of gender, age or child, and burning the ground and sewage. This simply had no intention of letting the remaining Qiang survive!
Only Jia Xu looked excited after hearing this and praised, "General Zhang's move is really good, but there are still some shortcomings."
"Just burning the grassland will only prevent Qiang from raising livestock this year; if we can find a Salt Mine and scatter those Coarse Salt on the ground, we can make the grassland barren for ten years."
"General Zhang is still too kind."
There was regret in Jia Xu's tone, feeling that Zhang He wasted such a good opportunity and was still not ruthless enough.
Guo Jia on the side heard this and laughed and said, "After all, General Zhang only brought five thousand troops, and he was too pressed for time to burn the ground and spread salt."
"In my opinion, more corpses should be tied to rocks and sunk into the water so that Qiang cannot be salvaged and the water source will be polluted for a longer period of time."
Jia Xu thought about it after hearing this, and felt that what Guo Jia said was indeed reasonable. He nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't think carefully enough, or Fengxiao's plan is better."
Guo Jia said modestly, "No, Wenhe's strategy is also very good. If you have enough time, you still have to adopt Wenhe's strategy."
The two complimented each other as if no one else was watching.
Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, Lu Su and others on the side all cast Shock and horrified looks at them, secretly moving away from the two of them.
These two guys are really more ruthless than the other.
In comparison, Zhang He's approach is too immature.
The Famous Scholars soldier was also stunned when he heard this, and even doubted himself for a moment... Comparing these two, General Zhang's approach seemed to be indeed "merciful".
"Fengxiao, Wenhe, shut up!"
Liu Xie glared at the two of them, there are outsiders here, can't you pay attention to the influence?
If word got out, others would think that his favored ministers were all a bunch of cruel officials.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu shut their mouths obediently.
Liu Xie then withdrew his gaze, and then said to the Famous Scholars soldier, "General Zhang destroyed Qiang Royal Court and defeated Enemy Army. This is an achievement comparable to Marquis of Champion Huo Qubing."
"Qiang has been harming me at Great Han's border for a long time. What's the point of killing women and children?"
"If anyone dares to accuse General Zhang of being too cruel, then let them go to the border and see how Qiang is killing my Great Han people!"
"Qiang's butcher knife never spared my Great Han women and children!"
Liu Xie's tone was cold, and his voice echoed throughout the Great Hall.
Of course he knew that Zhang He's actions conflicted with traditional Confucian School concepts and benevolence and morality, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang He.
In his opinion, Zhang He's beating of Qiang for Great Han is an unparalleled achievement and should be praised and celebrated instead of scolded.
So in this matter, he firmly supports Zhang He.
Qiang The number of Han people who have been robbed and killed in the border areas in the past decades is tens of thousands; plus those who have not been counted, the number is simply unimaginable.
Are there no women, children or children among those killed or injured?
Have you ever seen Qiang spare them?
This is Zhang He. If he personally leads the army to conquer Qiang, he will not even leave a single person alive, let alone the old, young, women and children!
Either kill them or use them to enslave them!
Don't talk about cruelty or not, this is the best way to treat Foreign Tribes like Qiang!
"Pass on my edict--"
After Liu Xie clearly expressed his attitude, he began to conclude the achievements of Zhang He: "Commandant of the Guards Zhang He defeated Qiang and defended the border for meritorious service. He will be awarded a daughter, a promotion to the first level, and Marquis of Champion will be granted the title!"
There is Huo Qubing in front, Great Desert flashes Xiongnu;
Today, Zhang He goes deep into Qiang Lands and slaughters Qiang Royal Court.
Although Zhang He's contribution is not as great as Huo Qubing's, it is equally significant, so Liu Xie gave Marquis of Champion, Noble Rank, which represents glory, to him.
This also represents his approval!
After hearing Liu Xie's award to Zhang He, Court Officials in the hall was shocked, but no one would raise objections at this time, and they all respectfully said yes.
The person who sent the message, Soldiers, was also extremely surprised, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After asking Soldiers to take a rest, Liu Xie smiled at Court Officials and said, "Before, I was still worried about the expenses for managing Yellow River, but now General Zhang has sent this expenses."
"With the many trophies seized from Qiang Royal Court, it is definitely more than enough to control Yellow River."
This is one of the reasons why he gave Zhang He such a heavy reward.
This seizure solved an urgent need for him.
Fa Zheng asked, "Then Your Majesty, the suspension of construction of Mausoleum, is it necessary to..."
"Mausoleum There is no need to repair it so early."
Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Building Mausoleum is a waste of people and money, and is of no benefit to the country. It is better to keep the money where it should be used."
"As long as the world can be peaceful and the people can live a happy and prosperous life, what if I die without Mausoleum?" "The prosperous world of Great Han is the best and most prosperous Mausoleum."
Liu Xie These words in a plain tone made all the ministers present feel in awe after listening to them, and they even felt unparalleled admiration!
Which emperor in the past and present could have such a broad mind and such courage?
I am afraid that only Emperor Xiaowen, who was famous for his wisdom, can rival Son of Heaven today!
Emperor Xiaowen was also well-known for being thrifty and caring for the people. The funeral objects after his death were extremely simple, and he also decreed that his death would not affect the people.
"The wise Your Majesty is far better than Emperor Xiaowen."
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what an honor it is to be able to help such a Son of Heaven create a prosperous world!
Not only Zhuge Liang, but other courtiers in the Great Hall also had the same idea in their hearts, because it was really rare for an emperor like Liu Xie to be so disdainful about his posthumous affairs.
This also makes them more confident that Son of Heaven will definitely lead them and create an unprecedented prosperous age for Great Han!
Flourishing Han, be popular!
The news that Zhang He led the troops to destroy Qiang Royal Court quickly spread throughout Ye City, and countless people who heard the news were excited!
Great Han Qiang has been suffering for a long time. Qiang, like Xiongnu people and Wuhuan people, has always been the most troublesome problem at the border.
They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. As long as they were Han people, they all hated these uncivilized foreign barbarians Foreign Tribes.
Now, not long after Wuhuan was destroyed, Zhang He took Five Thousand Troops to destroy Qiang's Royal Court, killing Qiang's blood!
Who can believe it?
Who dares to believe it?
But this is really happening!
"Marquis of Champion is mighty! Clean up Foreign Tribes for me Great Han!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, Marquis of Champion truly practices this sentence!"
"There was Huo Qubing before, and now there is Zhang He. We are worthy of the name Champion!"
"Those hateful Qiangs should be treated like this!"
The people in Ye City are all talking about this matter. Zhang He's reputation has reached its peak for a while, even overshadowing Move the Capital's return to Chang'an.
Within the Imperial Palace, Ziyun Palace..
It has been more than a month since Lü Lingqi gave birth.
After a month of training, Lü Lingqi's health has improved a lot. Thanks to her regular martial arts practice, her physical fitness is particularly good and she recovers very quickly.
And the little princess has now become the darling of the Imperial Palace.
Lü Bu, the grandfather, would find excuses every now and then to go to the palace to meet the saint. In fact, he just wanted to see Grandson.
In the end, Liu Xie got annoyed, so I gave him a token to let him come and go Ziyun Palace freely, so as not to come over and disturb him from handling government affairs.
Today Lü Bu and his wife Yan Shi went to the palace to visit their daughter.
Lü Bu is leaning next to the cradle, amusing the child in the cradle with a wooden toy made by himself, with a kind and kind smile on his face.
This will make other Military Generalss shocked when they see it!
Lü Bu, the most powerful general of Great Han who killed many people on Battlefield and was invincible, actually still has such a side? Can he be so kind?
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah~"
The child was very amused by Lü Bu, and then suddenly stretched out his little hand and grabbed Lü Bu's beard.
