Xun Yu had called everyone together before, just to consider what to do? How to deal with Lu Xuan's seizure of Youzhou? I never thought that Lu Xuan would have to be rewarded.
Lu Xuan and them are enemies, so not suppressing Lu Xuan would be a good thing, and he would be rewarded.
That is what Cao Cao can do.
Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with more admiration. In terms of ambition and courage, the lord he served really had nothing to say. Although his temperament is a bit more suspicious and extremely ruthless, kindness does not control soldiers.
In troubled times, those who ruin good people have long since died.
Xun Yu stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "King Qin, it is already difficult to award Lu Xuan. He is now the King of Wu, the most noble one-word king, not the King of Nanyue, the King of Zhongshan, the King of Beihai, etc. He is the two-character king, how can he be rewarded further?"
"Is it possible that during festivals, swords and shoes are brought to the palace, and even nine tins are added to it?"
"Definitely not."
Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "So Lu Xuan's current status is beyond reward. To reward him again would be beyond the limit."
After hearing this, Zhong Yao and Cheng Yu also nodded.
Lu Xuan is already a prince.
He is the King of Wu who dominates the south and is the most powerful in the world. How can you reward such a person?
Cao Cao looked serious and said: "Anyway, Lu Xuan is the king of Wu who was conferred by the imperial court. News came that he pacified Youzhou and annihilated Wuhuan. If there is no reward from the imperial court, how will the people in the world regard the imperial court?"
"People outside will think that the imperial court is jealous of talents and cannot tolerate Lu Xuan. The current imperial court's status is already quite embarrassing. If he is criticized again, the situation will become even worse and he must be rewarded."
Xun Yu said: "If you want to reward, you can only redefine an official position. Huo Qubing, the hussar general, was the first hussar general. For example, Wei Qing was the first to have consecutive official positions like Great Sima General. Although It was later abandoned, and was actually used for the first time. Lu Xuan's meritorious service can be regarded as outstanding in today's world, and an official position can be directly created for him."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "Wen Ruo's analysis makes sense. Tell me, what official position is the most suitable?"
Guo Jiaxiao said: "Lu Xuan is so clever and calculating, why not just make a general with great calculations?"
"Vulgar, vulgar is intolerable."
Cao Cao glared at Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, if the official position arrangement you mentioned continues, it will only irritate Lu Xuan and make people criticize him. By then, it will not have the effect of appeasing him, and he will directly be blamed."
Cheng Yu grew older and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you call me Mighty General, or Invincible General. Such a commendation is direct enough and gives him face."
"Inappropriate, inappropriate."
Cao Cao shook his head again.
He said solemnly: "The award given to Lu Xuan is not an edict. Only we and Lu Xuan know about it. Such awards must be announced to the world. Once the people in the world know that we gave Lu Xuan a powerful general, how can they see the imperial court?" ?”
Xun Yu said: "I have an idea."
Cao Cao said: "Wen Ruo has always been rigorous in his actions, how do you plan to give Lu Xuan an official position?"
Xun Yu said sternly: "The four directions are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe. Let's give Lu Xuan, the king of Wu, and add the title of the general of the universe. The word universe is unprecedented, and it can always be justified."
Cao Cao murmured, his eyes shining.
He twisted his body twice and leaned forward slightly. He looked like he liked it and said with approval: "The name General of the Universe sounds very good when pronounced. Wen Ruo, what can I do with such a title of General?" Sample?"
Xun Yu said solemnly: "King Qin, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate.
Cao Cao looked a little regretful and sighed: "What a pity."
He looked at the others reluctantly and asked, "What do you think of the general of the universe that Wen Ruo mentioned?"
Guo Jia said: "I agree."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I agree."
Zhong Yao said: "I also agree that this is the best arrangement at present. Otherwise, if Wang Jue further adds Jiuxi, the meaning will be different and it will be difficult to arrange. An unprecedented general can appease people's hearts."
Xia Houyuan said loudly: "King Qin, the general will have different opinions."
Cao Cao said, "What's Miaocai's plan?"
Xia Houyuan said in a deep voice: "Lu Xuan has become an unprecedented general of the universe. He has a distinguished status. Your Majesty, you should also make corresponding adjustments. In today's Han Dynasty, King Qin is the pillar supporting the sky. According to the last general's suggestion, King Qin added another Only by being titled 'Tianzhu General' can we not be weaker than Lu Xuan."
Xun Yu's face suddenly became cold and solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "General Xiahou, you are putting the King of Qin on the fire. Lu Xuan destroyed Wuhuan and achieved unparalleled achievements. Such achievements, even if we look at it a hundred years ago, were unprecedented."
"Of course, the King of Qin supported His Majesty, gathered the court, and prospered the Han Dynasty, which is also a meritorious service. However, isn't it ridiculous for us to boast that we are the pillars of heaven?"
"There should be no less. For example, Yuan Shao and Lu Xuan became kings, and King Qin also came to the throne and became king. They cannot be lower than Lu Xuan."
"The reason why Lu Xuan is being commended now is to commend him for his merits, not to elevate his status. Now King Qin also adds a title, which is just for fun."
Xun Yu glanced at Xia Houyuan, then turned to Cao Cao and said, "Please think again, King Qin."
Cao Cao felt a little regretful.
General Tianzhu!
It sounds like a good name, but unfortunately, although he stabilized the court, actually taking the throne as king was already a huge arrogance.
Not suitable for another title.
Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "The matter is settled like this. Lu Xuan will be given the title of General of the Universe. This decree will be sent to Yang Biao to deliver it. Anyway, his son Yang Xiu will stay with Lu Xuan. By his side, he has a good relationship with Lu Xuan, so it’s safe to go and convey the message.”
Having said this, a trace of worry appeared on Cao Cao's face, and he said: "Lu Xuan's behavior has always been different from ordinary people. I don't know whether he will accept the reward from the imperial court, but he will do his best to obey fate and make arrangements first."
"I obey."
Xun Yu answered immediately.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier entered the hall and reported: "To report to the King of Qin, Yuan Shao's envoy Xu You came to the palace to ask for an audience, saying that he came for the alliance."
A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face and he said confidently: "Look, we haven't made arrangements yet. Yuan Shao has already arranged for someone to come. Regarding Lu Xuan's arrangements, we don't need to take action for the time being. We will just wait and see what happens."
"As long as Yuan Shao is here, he will take action."
"Yuan Shao came to the alliance to counter Lu Xuan, so we let nature take its course and join forces."
"Ignore sending troops or anything like that for now. Let's use Yuan Shao's power first to suppress Lu Xuan's power in Youzhou."
Cao Cao looked at everyone and ordered: "Although Lu Xuan has captured Youzhou, we don't need to be too nervous. We are based in Guanzhong and will not be affected. Everyone performs their duties and does whatever they have to do."
"Here!"
Everyone answered in unison.
With Cao Cao, everyone would be at peace and no longer have anything to worry about.
Cao Cao met Xu You, and Xun Yu on the other side was responsible for drafting the edict, and then asked the emperor to stamp it and use the seal. He handed the edict and the engraved seal and ribbon of the General of the Universe to Yang Biao, and asked Yang Biao to go to Wu as an envoy.
When Yang Biao was preparing to go on an envoy, news of Lu Xuan's victory spread in Luoyang City.
Countless people were shocked.
Many scholars admired Lu Xuan even more.
Although many people thought Lu Xuan was a rebel, it did not prevent Lu Xuan from destroying Wuhuan this time. Many people greatly admired Lu Xuan.
It's just Liu Bei's mansion in the city.
After Liu Bei heard the news that Lu Xuan had wiped out Wuhuan, he was lost for a long time.
Lu Xuan beheaded Lord Wuhuan Tadun, destroyed Wuhuan, and achieved great success. He still stayed in Luoyang. Although he served the emperor, he never had a chance. Liu Bei was a little depressed.
He has not participated in the war, and his legs have gained weight and his belly is slightly bulging. If this continues, it will be difficult for him to start a career.
However, Liu Bei had no choice.
Looking up, he didn't stand a chance.
Liu Bei was lost for a long time. After sighing dejectedly, he calmed down his depression and cheered up. Everything is not over yet. As long as he is alive, he can continue to fight with Lu Xuan to the end.
