The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, seeing that Xi Yu led civil and military officials to greet him in person, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei immediately got off their horses and came to Xi Yu.

"Our lord."

Kneeling on one knee in front of Xi Yu, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei were more or less embarrassed.

But Xi Yu didn't care about these at all, and just reached out to help the two of them up.

"It's okay, it's fine when you come back."

For Xi Yu, now that Jingzhou has been won anyway, the generals and soldiers under him have not suffered much damage, and all these are enough.

After comforting Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao, Xi Yu walked up to Huang Xu, gently lifted him up, patted his armor and said with a smile:

"You brat, do you have to ask me to come and help you? It's just a small contribution that is already so embarrassing. If there are bigger things for you to do in the future, you can take it." ?"

In fact, in Xi Yu's heart, at this moment, he has already thought of an important task to be handed over to Huang Xuqian.

Listening to what Xi Yu said, Huang Xu also knew that this was a joke from his adoptive father, so he patted his chest and said:

"No matter how big the task the adoptive father entrusts to the child, the child will be able to complete the task smoothly!"

Huang Xu's actions made everyone present laugh out loud, patted Huang Xu on the shoulder, Xi Yu took Huang Xu's hand and walked towards Xiapi City.

"Let's go back to the mansion first, and we'll talk about everything when we go back."

Xi Yu pulls Huang Xu, one of them is the master of a playwright who has been famous for a long time and has the ambition to conquer the world, the other is a young and vigorous young man with a bright future,
Behind them, Zhang Liao Dian Wei and other civil servants and generals followed, and finally the guard of honor had already been prepared.

Entering the city, the people had already waited for a long time spontaneously. At this time, both the soldiers in the Xi battalion and the people under Xi Yu's command knew one thing, the Duke Xi would eventually die in this world.

Xi Yu led Huang Xu and others to walk in the middle of the road, and countless people on both sides of the road welcomed the returning soldiers with songs and laughter.

Such a situation is like a scene of prosperity and peace, and the people are happy.

After returning to the mansion, the first thing everyone has to do is to award meritorious deeds.
Although Zhang Liao Dianwei did not engage in any serious battles this time, his dispatch of troops can be regarded as a deterrent to Xiangyang.

Because of Huang Xu's meritorious service in defeating Xu Shu's 2 army and capturing Guan Yu to attack Xiangyang, he was named Hussar General, with a silver ticket of [-] taels last time.

Although Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, made great contributions to outwitting Jingzhou, but because he allowed Liu Bei to escape under his advantage, his merits and demerits were equal, and he was rewarded with 5000 taels of silver notes.

Guo Jia decided that Jingzhou had made great contributions, so he was named Taiwei. The last silver ticket was 5 taels.

The rewards of the remaining generals are determined by Xun Yu, in short, the rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

This time, the civil servants and military generals in the opera camp also saw many different things from the rewards.

Just like the matter of making Guo Fengxiao a Taiwei, the position of Taiwei is originally a military position, but a position in charge of the power of the world's soldiers and horses.

But now, Xi Yu actually let Guo Fengxiao, an outside counselor, take up the post of Taiwei. Could it be that he wanted Guo Fengxiao to be the outside military general staff?
Secondly, even in this war, no matter how big or small the credit was, no one was named a marquis. In fact, everyone knew the reason for this.

After all, Xi Yu has not yet formally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. If he is granted the title of Marquis at this time, someone with a heart will use it to make a fuss.

This second must have been done on purpose by Xi Yu. After all, if some people were given the title of marquis at this time, what should Xi Yu do when the day when he truly inherits the great rule?

Secondly, the most imaginable thing among the awards this time is Xi Yu's award to Huang Xu.

General Hussars, this is the title that Huo Qubing had won back then. It can be said that General Hussars' power is not great, but his honor is very high.

And in the past, even if there were so many emperors, they rarely released this title. The main reason for this was that Huo Qubing was too dazzling.

If a person inherits his title, at least he has to do the same as Huo Qubing, otherwise he is really not worthy of this title.

From this title, many civil servants and military generals of the opera family can also see that Xi Yu loves Huang Xu and has placed high hopes on his future.

The most important thing is that Huo Qubing back then was chasing Mobei for eight hundred miles. If Xi Yu only wanted to fight the civil war and unify the world, he didn't need to give Huang Xu the title at all.

And now that Xi Yu has given Huang Xu such a title, can everyone think that Xi Yu is ready to go to war with the outside world?

For the many civil servants and military generals of the opera family, they have no aversion to going to war with the outside world, and they are even a little excited.

After all, the Han people at this time did not only think about their own one-third of an acre of land like the Song Dynasty. The big Han was a martial artist, and even a literati could use a three-foot sword to secure the world, let alone those generals.

But everyone was still a little worried at this time. After all, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to drive the Xiongnu far away from Mobei was the foundation of Wenjing's rule, but it almost collapsed the Han Dynasty.

But now that the world is in chaos, and it has not even been unified, it is very likely that foreign military dramatists will not be able to bear it at this time.

But Xi Yu didn't tell everyone why he did what he did. Anyway, he just sent a signal now, let's figure out the rest.

With the end of the reward, everyone gradually dispersed, and everyone returned to their jobs.

Xi Yu was also planning to go back to the backyard and continue to listen to Sun Shangxiang's reading. It was indeed much more comfortable to read with someone beside her.

But when he turned his head and looked, he found that Huang Xu was still standing there motionless.

"what happened?"

After Xi Yu asked Huang Xu, Huang Xu reluctantly handed the tiger-headed golden gun to Xi Yu.

"Father, I will give you back this tiger-head gilt gun."

Although Huang Xu was very reluctant to part with it, after all, it was something lent to him by his adoptive father, and it was not good for him to keep it all the time.

Anyway, this time the battle with Guan Yu was enough for me.

He took the gun with a smile, looked at Huang Xu and asked jokingly:

"How about it, does it feel good?"

Hearing Xi Yu's question, Huang Xu also nodded.

"It's easy to use, it's"

After thinking for a while, Huang Xu raised his head, his eyes were full of light.

"Father, can I exchange two weapons for this one of yours!"

Stretching his head, Huang Xu asked slowly, blinking his eyes.

Hearing Huang Xu's question, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, and kicked him in the ass.

"Get out, you just need Fang Tian's painting halberd."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and prepared to go back to the backyard, but at this time Huang Xu suddenly said:
"Father, can you give me this tiger-head gilt gun when you are old?"

Hearing Huang Xu's voice, Xi Yu chuckled.

"no problem!"

Just when Xi Yu wanted to go back to the backyard, Huang Xu grabbed Xi Yu's wrist again.

"Father, father, don't rush to leave, what should I do with Guan Yu who has been caught?"

Hearing Huang Xu's words, Xi Yu remembered that there was still one Guan Yu who hadn't dealt with it.
I have been busy rewarding meritorious officials and formulating the next strategic goals before, so I forgot such an important guy all of a sudden.

In fact, this kind of thing is mainly due to the fact that there is no shortage of generals who are capable of fighting under Xi Yu's hands. Otherwise, if the other princes win Guan Yu, they will definitely treat him as a guest of honor.

With a light cough, Xi Yu said to Huang Xu:

"Bring him in."

Hearing Xi Yu's order, Huang Xu waved towards the door, and after a while, several soldiers pressed Guan Yu into the hall.

Although it can be said that Guan Yu lost all face because of being captured by Huang Xu along the way, and although Huang Xu and others did not abuse Guan Yu along the way,
But the life in the prison car was not easy, but when he came to Xi Yu, Guan Yu was still very arrogant.

After seeing Xi Yu's appearance, he turned his head away from him, and his eyes were full of endless arrogance.

In short, after entering the hall, Guan Yu didn't do anything, just stood alone without saying a word.

Glancing at something about Guan Yu, Xi Yu shook his head slightly, then got up and walked to Guan Yu's side.

"Ling Xiao, how can you treat General Guan like this, General Guan is a martial saint."

When he came to Guan Yu's side, Xi Yu pretended to complain about Huang Xu, untied Guan Yu, and motioned him to find a seat for himself.

But Guan Yu didn't seem to appreciate it, and he still stood there motionless with his eyes and nose looking at the sky. It can be said that although Guan Yu is a prisoner at this moment, the arrogance in his bones still hasn't diminished in the slightest.

But looking at Guan Yu's appearance, Huang Xu was very upset.

"A mere defeated general is still so arrogant in front of his adoptive father!"

After all, he was going to come to Guan Yu and give him two punches to make him remember.

But it was directly stopped by Xi Yu.

"Go and do your work, I'm here to chat with General Guan."

After all, he waved his hand to drive Huang Xu away, and then Xi Yu pulled Guan Yu to sit aside, but he didn't return to the main seat, but sat not far from Guan Yu .

It can be said that Xi Yu's behavior has given Guan Yu enough face,

Seeing that the adoptive father wanted to let him go, looking at Guan Yu and looking at the adoptive father Huang Xu, he was in a dilemma for a while.

After all, Huang Xu was afraid that Guan Yu, who had broken free from the rope, would hurt his adoptive father, but he thought about it again.

I was able to capture Guan Yu alive, and my adoptive father, whose martial arts were thousands of times better than myself, would definitely have no problems.

After thinking for a while, Huang Xu saluted Xi Yu and left.

At this time, Guan Yu and Xi Yu were also sitting together, Guan Yu didn't speak, and Xi Yu didn't speak, and there was a little silence in the hall for a while.

As if feeling too bored, Xi Yu beckoned someone to call Sun Shangxiang over, and while listening to Sun Shangxiang reading, spent time with Guan Yu.

Since he wants to waste it, he should waste it, since he has a lot of time anyway.

After a long time, Guan Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Xi Yu:
"Xi Yu, you don't want to use this method, just let me fight with you. You took my elder brother Jingzhou and wronged him for killing Jingzhou Mu. Guan will never fight for you in this life!"

Hearing Guan Yu's voice, Xi Yu also slowly opened his eyes, but at the moment his eyes were full of deep doubts.

"Combat? No, no, no one wants you to fight. Now I have a bunch of generals waiting for a big battle with green eyes, and I can't rank you at all."

For Xi Yu, he did not expect that he would fight for himself when he recruited Guan Yu.
The main reason for recruiting Guan Yu is that I admire this most famous representative of loyalty and unparalleled in history, and there is no other reason.

Hearing what Xi Yu said, Guan Yu, who was originally very proud and raised his chin, looked at Xi Yu's face full of surprise at this moment.

"Ah! You don't want me to fight for you? Then what do you want me to do?"

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Guan Yu seemed to feel that someone was insulting him.
This reputation was also established early on. No matter who he went to, everyone would respectfully invite him to play.

Why is it that now that Xi Yu is here, this guy actually said that he won't let him play?
Insult, this is an extreme insult to him!

Seeing Guan Yu's appearance, Xi Yu shrugged slightly.

"If you don't fight, you also have many functions. For example, at the swearing-in meeting before the expedition, you stood behind the incense burner. If anyone wants to worship, you can stand there and let them worship. Yes, yes. I saw General Guan's posture just now, it was very good, then you should stand in that posture."

While talking, Xi Yu also stood up and imitated Guan Yu's standing movements before.

"Also, after a while, if there are more people worshiping, I will find two more painters to paint your portrait, distribute it to the people's homes, and hang your image on the altar of the people's homes."

"In other words, letting the people stick your portrait on the door can not only bless the people, but also drive away ghosts and evil spirits. This is a great merit for General Guan."

Although what Xi Yu said was very touching, and it seemed to be a very solemn matter,

But Guan Yu's face was as dark as his third brother's at the moment, he slammed the table and let out a loud yell.

"Xi Yu! Are you playing tricks on a certain family!"

Why didn't Guan Yu know that what Xi Yu said was a very honorable thing, how many civil servants and military generals expected to be treated like this by the people after their death,

However, the matter of stepping on a horse has to be done after the person is dead. How can there be living people enjoying incense and worship!
This guy Xi Yu, instead of killing himself, let people worship him. This is a complete humiliation to himself!
Seeing Guan Yu's reaction so excited, Xi Yu waved his hand lightly and said to him:

"General Guan doesn't need to be so angry. There are still people on my side who talk about their posthumous names every day."

At the same time, on the other side, Dian Wei, who had just returned to the barracks, suddenly sneezed, and then trembled unconsciously.

After waking up with a runny nose, Dian Wei looked dazed.

"What's the situation? Did you catch a cold after going to Xiangyang? No, no, no, I have to go to the medical hall."

In the lobby at this time, Guan Yu, who was already very angry, was even more angry when he saw Xi Yu's unconcerned appearance.

Looking at Xi Yu's appearance, Guan Yu really wanted to go up and give him a slap at the moment, but Guan Yu held back,
He knew that he was in the enemy camp at the moment, let alone the fact that he was unarmed, the main reason was that if he really fought Xi Yu, he might not be able to beat him.

And he is not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, of course he also disdains to do that kind of thing, so at this moment Guan Yu pretended to be dumb again,
Seeing Guan Yu not speaking for a long time, Xi Yu shrugged and said:

"Since General Guan has no objections, then I will ask someone to arrange a mansion for you. I will send someone to call you if necessary in the future."

After saying that, Xi Yu waved his hand and called two people to let them take Guan Yu to build a house.

"no no"

Hearing that Xi Yu was about to build a house for him, Guan Yu immediately wanted to say something, but was carried out by two of his subordinates.

After Guan Yu left, Sun Shangxiang also brought the book to the lobby.

Although Sun Shangxiang misread a lot of words and deducted a lot of money because he didn't know the characters on the first day, in the end, not only did he not earn a penny, but he lost a lot, and he left in a fit of anger.

But when she went back and thought about it, she seemed to have no other way to make money besides studying.

In order to make a living, Sun Shangxiang finally lowered her proud head, and went to read to Xi Yu the next day.

I don't know if it's because he was employed or what, but Sun Shangxiang improved a lot on the second day compared to the first day. Not only did he not lose money, but he made some money.

In the days that followed, Sun Shangxiang fell in love with this feeling. Every night, she would pester Madam Gan to teach her how to read, and then read to Xi Yu the next day.

And when Mrs. Gan saw that Sun Shangxiang finally stopped wielding swords and guns, she was naturally very happy to teach her to read.

After a while, Sun Shangxiang actually earned hundreds of gold by studying. After seeing that he could really earn so much money, Sun Shangxiang kept pestering Xi Yu to read to him.

Xi Yu is also willing to listen to Sun Shangxiang's reading because he has nothing to do.

Sitting on the chair, Xi Yu said slowly:
"What should I read today?"

Holding the book, Sun Shangxiang said sweetly:

"I've read [-] words today, and I've calculated a total of [-] gold. Now I should count again."

Looking up at Sun Shangxiang who was blinking and blinking at her, Xi Yu couldn't help but sneer.

"Why do I remember that today you only read four or five hundred words at most, but why did you say that you read two thousand words? Could it be that you want to play tricks?"

The reason why Xi Yu said this word is because Sun Shangxiang has done this kind of dishonest thing not just once or twice. (end of this chapter)
