Chapter 9 On the reward for meritorious deeds, eldest brother, you are a little biased!
Chenliu Mansion Office,
It can be said that,
This is the first time since Cao Cao raised his army that he has formally summoned all his officials and generals.
Even Lu Yan, who was busy preparing for farming, and Zhao Yun, the leader of Lu Yan's bodyguard, were called over by Cao Cao.
The scene this time seemed very solemn,
Even Lu Yan, who is usually the least upright person,
At this time, everyone was standing in a well-behaved and honest manner.
Wen Zuo Wu You,
Cao Cao's men of letters and generals stood in two lines.
But Cao Cao tried his best to reject all opinions and
He actually placed Lu Yan in the first place under his left hand.
Then came Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie and others who had recently defected.
Xun Yu has a deep understanding of Lu Yan's talents.
Although Cheng Yu and Mao Jie didn't know Lu Yan's ability,
But seeing that Xun Yu had no objection to the ranking order, the two of them had no complaints in their hearts.
However, they were still very curious,
I am curious about who this seemingly elegant scribe is, that he can be ranked before Xun Yu of the Xun family.
In the ranks of generals,
From front to back are Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin.
As for Zhao Yun,
He is still just a white body to the Cao Group, not even a temporary worker.
Therefore, we can only temporarily rank behind the ban and stand at the bottom.
Cao Cao walked to the throne and
All the civil and military officials bowed their hands to Cao Cao and said:
"Welcome my lord!"
"Welcome to Duke Cao!" (No need to look for it, it's Lu Yan and Zhao Yun)
Cao Cao raised his hands flat by his side, folded them in front of his chest, and finally knelt down on the main seat upright before saying to everyone:
"Everyone, please get up."
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"
Although Lu Yan was a little impatient with these red tapes,
But after he personally experienced this scene, he realized the symbolic meaning of solemn etiquette.
China has always claimed to be a country of etiquette, and it relies on more than just verbal promotion.
More importantly, it is the etiquette that countless ancestors have adhered to for countless years.
But in the later generations that Lu Yan lived in, what many people lacked was precisely etiquette and etiquette, which made the current Lu Yan very emotional.
Return to your place,
Lu Yan began to half-squint his eyes to regain his composure.
Anyway, he was just here for a formality today and not to do anything serious. "Boss Cao, do whatever you like, as long as you don't involve me..."
After Cao Cao looked around everyone present, he said:
"Everyone, Dong Zhuo moved westward and the princes turned away. Although I, Cao Mengde, wanted to kill the thieves, I was unable to save him!"
Xun Yu was the first to leave the class and replied:
"Lord,
You have let the world see your determination,
Not only did he train an elite army, but he also gained a huge reputation.
This time you attack Dong, you seem to be defeated but actually victorious!
As for Dong Zhuo,
An arrogant person will be in trouble sooner or later, so my lord, there is no need to worry too much."
These words were the conclusions that Xun Yu came up with during a secret conversation with Lu Yan and Cao Cao.
At this moment, Xun Yu said it not to steal the limelight.
One is because Lu Yan has already decided not to be in the limelight,
The second reason is that the merits and achievements he has achieved must be revealed as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao's people can feel at ease as soon as possible and attract more people.
What is most important in troubled times? Talent!
Only by allowing people to see Cao Cao's victory and Cao Cao's great potential,
These people will help Cao Cao sincerely and down-to-earth.
Drawing a big pie can only fool you.
Dealing with the elderly in the workplace,
Only by focusing on interests and emotions can we get their sincerity.
therefore,
The first thing today is to reveal the achievements and achievements of my family.
The next step, of course, is to reward based on merit.
The prefect Chenliu was originally Zhang Miao, and he had an extremely deep relationship with Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao raised his troops, Zhang Miao helped him with all his strength.
While in the coalition forces,
Zhang Miao once bluntly stated Yuan Shao's mistakes many times.
Cao Cao was privately asked by Yuan Shao many times to kill Zhang Miao.
But Cao Cao refused every time, and even said,
"Meng Zhuo (also named Zhang Miao) is our good friend.
He should be tolerated no matter what,
Now that the world is in chaos, we should not kill each other!"
Therefore, after the expedition against Dong was over and they all returned to Chenliu,
Although Zhang Miao was still the governor, he gave all his powers to Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao was still acting as a powerful general at this moment, which is not too outrageous.
At this moment, Cao Cao began to talk about merit and rewards.
But since the civil servants, except Lu Yan, were all newcomers and had not participated in the battle against Dong,
So Cao Cao decided to reward the generals first.
Cao Cao didn't name them one by one.
He shouted directly in one breath: "Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin!"
The six people whose names were called came out one after another, clasped their fists and said, "The general will be here!"
"Call Cao Ren as Colonel Li Feng.
Xiahou Dun was appointed as the Colonel of Zhechong,
Xia Houyuan was appointed as the captain of the Dian Military Academy.
Cao Hong was the captain of Diannong School.
Li Dian and Yue Jin are the commanders of other departments."
Being promoted is naturally a good thing, so these six people clasped their fists excitedly and said:
"Thank you, Lord!"
"My lord, there is no way I can repay my kindness!"
For Yu Jin, who had just surrendered, he still maintained his command of the army and trained new soldiers for Cao Cao, and later made great contributions. The previous few were naturally his role models.
As for the civil servants, Cao Cao naturally looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan's head was moving bit by bit at the moment, seemingly "fishing"... When Cao Cao saw it, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Ahem!" Cao Cao pretended to cough, intending to remind Lu Yan.
Lu Yan actually didn't really fall asleep,
Even if he really fell asleep, with his innate master ability,
As long as there is a slight movement in the scene, he will wake up immediately.
"Ahem!!" Cao Cao's second cough became a lot worse.
Lu Yan was shocked to realize that Boss Cao didn't have a cold, but was kindly reminding him!
Quickly open your eyes,
Lu Yan immediately put on a professional fake smile on his face,
Finally I looked at Boss Cao's big face that was about to cramp.
"Lu Yan!"
"exist..."
"You have many plans for me in the battle against Dong.
He even rescued Zhao Yun in front of Hulao Pass, which not only directly led to Lu Bu's defeat, but also
Later, more than 8,000 people from Cao's army were saved.
Lu Yan has outstanding achievements,
Fengjunjunzhonglangjiang!"
Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong: "???"
"Oh my god, wasn't it the four of us who saved Zhao Yun? How come it's the credit of that kid Lu Yan?"
"A lot of designs? Did Lu Yan do anything that we don't know about?"
"Isn't Zhao Yun the only one who came to save us that night?
What does it have to do with him, Lu Yan??"
The four generals were at a loss for a while. They felt a little uncomfortable with Cao Cao's words.
"Brother, this is partiality!"
"Yes, just because they chatted all night outside the camp, this relationship actually surpasses our brotherhood?"
"Brother, you don't know something. I saw my lord and Lu Yan that day..."
