Chapter 430: The Movement of Han Ministers
"Your Majesty, do you really say so?" Huangfu Song's voice trembled a little, and he asked with disbelief in his eyes.
Cheng Yu nodded without hesitation and placed a jade pendant on the table.
"Your Majesty values talents and has great ambitions. You have the heart and courage of the Holy Emperor, so it is not surprising that you are valued. As long as General Huangfu can accept this tiger talisman, the responsibility of the General of the Cavalry and the heavy responsibility of commanding the north will be on you."
Although he was also shocked by Tian Ze's decisiveness and generosity, Cheng Yu was happy to see it.
Although Huangfu Song was greedy for fame and was hesitant, his ability and moral character were beyond reproach, and he was definitely the right person to guard the north.
Moreover, with Huangfu Song guarding the north, Xu Rong could move south and garrison in Jizhou.
In this way, the pressure on Guan Yu and Xu Huang to defend was completely released.
After all, Xu Rong is the first defender under Tian Ze. Although he has rarely taken action, his strength is absolutely unquestionable in many internal drills.
When it comes to defense, Guan Yu and Xu Huang combined are no match for Xu Rong. There is no need to worry about Jizhou’s defense anymore and we can head south with confidence.
In this way, at least 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers and horses can be fully mobilized to attack the Central Plains without having to worry about defense.
If such conditions had existed in the previous battle in the Central Plains, Cheng Yu would never have let Guan Yu and the princes of the Central Plains fight head-on, but would have directly handed over the rear to Xu Rong and led the army south to seize the Central Plains.
When Huangfu Song heard this, tears could not help but flow down his slightly weathered face.
He had thought that Tian Ze would entrust him with important tasks, but he had never thought that he would trust him to this extent.
He directly jumped to the same level as Guan Yu and others, and even became the number one person under Tian Ze's rule in terms of military power.
"Your Majesty, I am so grateful for your kindness!" Huangfu Song sighed.
Cheng Yu said solemnly: "Your Majesty once said that although General Huangfu quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion with some omissions, his merits far outweighed his faults and saved millions of people!"
"Such an achievement cannot be erased, and he will always remember it. The general deserves the title of General of the Cavalry."
"General, there is no need to participate in the war in the Central Plains. The general can coordinate and handle the fight against the foreign races in the north."
"Your Majesty believes in the general!"
Huangfu Song could no longer hold back his tears when he heard this. He knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He respectfully took the jade tiger talisman with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, I, Huangfu Song, thank you for your grace! I will do my best to repay your majesty in the future, even if it means my death!"
A warm current dissipated from the tiger talisman into Huangfu Song's body.
Huangfu Song felt his whole body suddenly lighten. Some of his previous illnesses and injuries seemed to have disappeared a little, and he seemed to be twenty years younger.
Although he was in his prime, the many "wrong" choices he had made had left him with a huge psychological burden. In recent years, as the world situation changed, his condition had deteriorated day by day, as if he had aged by more than ten years.
If it weren't for the existence of the Jixia Academy, I'm afraid he would have died soon.
When you lose your spirit, you become old.
At this moment, filled with joy and inspired by spiritual energy, Huangfu Song was like an old tree that had sprouted new buds, and was full of vitality again.
Cheng Yu glanced at the tiger talisman calmly, and seeing that there were no cracks on it, he nodded slightly.
As a die-hard fan of Tian Ze, he doesn't trust anyone except Tian Ze, and doesn't allow anyone to escape from Tian Ze's control, not even himself.
On the other side, the newly built shrine of sages by Tian Ze has also been completed, and many people are among them, such as many important civil and military officials under Tian Ze.
Some of the names are shocking.
Gongsun Zan resolved the century-long troubles in Xiliang, recovered the Qiang people, marched westward to the Western Regions, and saved countless lives...
Lü Bu, pacified the Southern Xiongnu, greatly improved Bingzhou, saved countless lives, and conquered the Huns in the north... Guan Ning...
Huangfu Song...
In the introduction of the characters in the shrine, the most common mentions are the expansion of territory and the countless lives saved. At Tian Ze's request, the contribution to the Han people is purely discussed, and many of them mention the affairs of the Han officials.
Tian Ze made no secret of his ambition to replace the Han Dynasty and rebuild a prosperous era, but he never discredited the Han Dynasty and the princes of the world.
Even in the propaganda under Tian Zezhi, the evaluations of some Han ministers and princes were very objective.
It is as if analyzing from the perspective of an observer how the Great Qi was established, why the Great Han Dynasty perished, and what the future trend will be.
At this point, Tian Ze no longer hid his thoughts and almost spoke his mind openly, directly revealing his ideas.
And this is exactly what makes people all over the world respect him the most and what makes the princes feel most desperate.
Tian Ze almost directly explained the next strategy, and even scheduled the various stages of the operation, estimating when and where to capture and unify the world within five years.
Of course, Tian Ze did not mention much about external expansion, so as to prevent the countries in the west from knowing about it in advance and becoming wary.
But people of insight know the meaning between the lines.
Tian Ze is a very ambitious person!
The names of Guan Ning and Huangfu Song appeared in the Temple of Sages, and Huangfu Song was promoted to General of Cavalry, which touched the hearts of countless people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.
The words that Tian Ze typed moved countless people.
The interests of the people and the nation are above all else!
"It seems that it is time to go down the mountain." Countless knowledgeable people sighed in unison.
The troubled times are not over yet, there is still a chance to end.
This is almost the last chance.
Once the world is completely unified, if you want to get on board again, you will have to start all over again and accumulate money.
Except in times of chaos, in times of peace, if one has not made great achievements, no matter how capable one is, he will not be given an extraordinary position because of this. Otherwise, he will not be able to convince the people.
Of course, there are risks in taking sides in troubled times.
But anyone who has a little understanding of the world situation knows that the risk is almost zero.
The war in the Central Plains had such a far-reaching impact that it almost determined the final outcome.
So many heroes came out for fame or for profit, but Tian Ze didn't care. How many people in the world didn't care? As long as they could use it for their own benefit, what did it matter?
Of course, Tian Ze still needs to carefully identify these people.
Among them, many people who had bad habits, were conservative and had nothing but reputations were all beaten back.
Only those who are both virtuous and talented can be given important positions.
Tian Ze's attitude is very clear.
I'm giving you this opportunity. Put yourself in the right position. Don't blame me if you can't seize it.
Although the attitude is not what many people want, there are still countless talented people who come to give it a try.
After all, the opportunity to be remembered for eternity and enjoy a hundred years of glory is right before them, which is too attractive for them who have nothing but some talent and money.
