Cao Cao defeated the Xiliang army with 20,000 cavalry with 30,000 infantry.
After this battle, everyone in the world knew Lu Yan’s name!
Especially the dangerous cavalry raid at the end,
Many soldiers swore that they saw Lu Yan destroy three thousand Xiliang cavalry with his bare hands!
Well, people's words are terrible, but some things are even less true...
Cao Cao and Lu Yan not only received the position of general and the general of hussars, Cao Cao also received the title of rural lord, while Lu Yan received the lower-level title of tinghou.
However, these places are not under the control of the family, and there is no way to talk about food towns. It is just a good name.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Li Dian got their wish and gained great merit and were collectively promoted.
The three of them received the titles of General Jianzhong, General Zhaowu and General Zhaoyi respectively, and of course, the title of Marquis of Guannei.
The people on Lu Yan’s side,
Taishi Ci won the title of General in Trap for his outstanding performance in backing the Wei army;
Zhao Yun was canonized as General of Yueqi, Dian Wei as General of Li Feng, and even Xia Houlan was given the position of General of Yamen.
And they all also received the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Anyway, the Marquis of Guannei has no food, it is just a status symbol, Liu Xie will not feel distressed no matter how much he gives...
But the most important thing is that these official positions came from the imperial court and the emperor of Han Dynasty, and were orthodox.
Although most of them are generals with mixed titles, even if they are also generals, they are much more powerful than those that Cao Cao claims to be.
After the rewards were awarded, Cao Ren, Zhao Yun and others thanked the emperor one after another.
The next step is to leave Luoyang and head to Xu County.
...
Since the governance of Cao Hong and Li Dian, Xu County has relied on Chenliu County to attract refugees, prosper commercial agriculture, and expand the city.
Later, after receiving the emperor's edict, Cao Cao ordered people to build a palace complex in advance, which had begun to take shape.
Thanks to the new Lijia and household registration systems, the security of counties under Cao Cao's rule was much better than that of other princes.
Liu Xie and his party entered Chenliu County through Hulao Pass, and finally entered Xu County in Yingchuan County.
Along the way, they saw villages of different sizes one after another, and saw people working hard in the fields amid the smoke from their cooking stoves.
Now that autumn has arrived, farmers are ushering in their happiest moment of the year, the harvest!
The common people were singing songs in dialects from unknown places and harvesting crops in full swing in the fields.
Liu Xie was sitting in a carriage that looked very ordinary.
After hearing the singing outside, he couldn't help but lift a corner of the car curtain and peek out at the pastoral scenery outside.
It is different from the miserable scene in Guanzhong where the land is red and bones are everywhere.
The people of Chenliu County and Yingchuan County are far away from war and famine. They live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are getting more and more prosperous!
Liu Xie looked at the scene outside that looked like another world, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh in his heart.
Finally, Liu Xie silently lowered the car curtain, leaned on the backrest and slowly closed his eyes, and said to Empress Fu and Concubine Dong: "I, I am a little tired..."
...
[The second year of Xingping, late autumn]
[Boss Cao has successfully welcomed back the emperor and is about to open a new chapter and usher in the highlight moment of his rapid development. 】
[I really didn’t expect that I was awarded the title of Cavalry General...Although Fengxiao said that Boss Cao and the little emperor had no good intentions, he was a Cavalry General after all. I am awesome!]
[I was just confused by the authorities before, but fortunately Fengxiao woke me up.]
[It’s not that Boss Cao has evil intentions, he probably wants to use me as a nail planted within the emperor’s power because he knows me very well and disdains the so-called imperial orthodoxy. 】
[To be honest, doesn’t it feel good to fish and farm? It’s really annoying to have to let me play intrigues and stuff like that!]
[However, I now have some weight in the emperor's heart. How about finding an opportunity to change my official position and go farming? I think this plan is feasible, and the position of the chief agricultural officer is very good!]
Lu Yan first wrote about his personal feelings, and then started complaining mode.
【......】
[Well, anyway, the little emperor didn't force me to stay in Xuchang, and there's no need for me to complain about him all the time... It's really good that I don't have to go to court. If you really want me to get up at four in the morning, wouldn't I go crazy?
Already?]
After complaining about Lao Cao's cruelty and the emperor's ulterior motives, Lu Yan closed the diary a little tired.
At the same time, the system's prompt tone also sounded on time.
[Diary synchronization completed, congratulations to the host for successful sign-in!]
[Judgment of diary content: B]
[Your sincerity will always be rewarded. Your diary today is rated B, and the reward level remains unchanged.]
[Rewards are being generated, please wait...]
[Congratulations to the host, you got a heart-nourishing jade]
[Heart-nourishing Jade: Apart from making people feel slightly calm, it has no other effect, but its appearance is still quite exquisite.]
Lu Yan lay quietly with this useless jade pendant in his palm. He shook his head and hung it on his waist.
With the Nourishing Heart Jade in his body, Lu Yan suddenly felt calmer.
Put away the diary,
Lu Yan walked out of his room, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment outside, and thought to himself:
"It was only a little over a month from the time I left to the time I came back. Why do I have the illusion that a long time has passed?"
...
Jizhou, Yecheng.
Yuan Shao was sitting in the main seat of the meeting hall at this moment, quietly watching the news sent back by the spies from Chen Liu and Xuchang.
When Yuan Shao raised his head,
The few think-tanks under him who had been waiting for a long time all raised their hands and said, "I have met my lord!"
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others, nodded and said, "They are all here."
"Lord, what's going on with Cao Cao?" Tian Feng asked.
"Cao Mengde defeated the Xiliang army and brought back the emperor... What do you think he wanted to do?" Yuan Shao was a little confused, so he asked the counselors.
Jushou first raised his hands and replied: "Returning to my lord, judging from my subordinates, it is natural that Cao Cao wants to blackmail the emperor and order the princes!"
"Haha, Cao Cao wants to coerce the emperor and order the princes, so he has to do it!" Guo Tu said with a disdainful sneer.
"Don't underestimate it. If the emperor issues too many edicts, it will be a problem for the Lord to ignore them!" Tian Feng frowned and said.
Xu You took a step forward at this time, raised his hands and said: "My lord, what Yuan Hao said makes sense.
If Cao Cao repeatedly uses the emperor's hand to issue edicts to us, will we accept it or not?
But if we don't accept it, we will lose our righteousness and become traitors who defy the emperor's order; but if we really accept the edict, wouldn't it be a disguised admission that Cao Cao is orthodox?"
After Ju Shuo, Tian Feng and Xu You spoke, Yuan Shao suddenly felt that he had made a big mistake in not welcoming the emperor.
But after all, it was your own decision. How could you slap yourself in the face?
Guo Tu obviously saw Yuan Shao's confusion, so he said aloud: "You three, I'm afraid you are a little alarmist."
Ju Shou had a strong temper. When he heard that Guo Tu came out to sing the opposite, he immediately shouted angrily: "It's all your fault! When we urged the lord to welcome the emperor, it was you, Feng Ji and others who said that the emperor was a burden.
Stop the lord from sending troops!"
Ju Shou's roar completely destroyed Yuan Shao's face. After all, that was what he thought at the beginning...
What should I do? I am pretending to be awesome, but I have to pretend to be complete even with tears in my eyes!
Listening to the noisy brain trust in the hall, Yuan Shao thought impatiently for a moment and said: "The emperor has nothing to do with the overall situation, and let Cao Cao be proud for a while. The most urgent thing is to destroy Gongsun Zan!"
As soon as Yuan Shao said his words, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Xu You could only sigh secretly.
Yuan Shao chose to avoid talking about it, so it would be hard for them to get into trouble again.
