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

"My lord, we are."

Kneeling on one knee in front of Xi Yu, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei had somewhat embarrassed expressions on their faces.

But Xi Yu didn't care about this at all, and stretched out his hand to help the two of them up.

"Nothing's wrong, I'll be fine when I get back."

For Xi Yu, Jingzhou has been captured anyway, and his generals and soldiers have not suffered much damage. All of these are enough.

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

"You brat, do you have to ask me to come and help you? It's just a small achievement and it's 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 mind, he had already thought of an important task to hand over to Huang Xuqian.

Listening to Xi Yu's words, Huang Xu also knew that his adoptive father was joking with him, and then he patted his chest and said:

"No matter how big a task the adoptive father gives to the child, the child can successfully complete the task!"

Huang Xu's actions made everyone present laugh out loud. They patted Huang Xu's shoulder and Xiyu took Huang Xu's hand and walked towards Xiapi City.

"Let's go back to the house first, and we'll talk about everything after we get back."

Xi Yu took Huang Xu with him. One of them was an actor who had been famous for a long time and had ambitions to conquer the world. The other was a young and energetic young man with a bright future.

Behind them, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other civil servants and generals followed, and finally there was the guard of honor that had been prepared.

Entering the city, the people had been waiting for a long time. At this time, both the soldiers in the theater camp and the people under Xi Yu's command knew one thing, the actor would eventually die in this world.

Xi Yu led Huang Xu and others along the middle of the road. Countless people on both sides of the road greeted the returning soldiers with joyful songs and laughter.

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

After returning to the mansion, the first thing everyone should do is to discuss their merits and reward them.

Although Zhang Liao and Dianwei did not engage in any serious battle this time, their dispatch of troops could be regarded as intimidating Xiangyang. In summary, it was considered meritorious, as they were rewarded with five thousand taels of silver notes each.

Because Huang Xu defeated Xu Shu's 20,000-strong army and captured Guan Yu and attacked Xiangyang, he was awarded the title of Hussar General and received a silver coin of 20,000 taels.

Although the Commander-in-Chief, Zhou Yu, made a great contribution by outsmarting Jingzhou, because he was able to escape due to his superiority, Liu Bei's merits were equal to his fault, and he was rewarded with five thousand taels of silver notes.

Guo Jiading planned to make great achievements in Jingzhou, so he was granted the title of Taiwei. The last silver note was 50,000 taels.

The rewards for the remaining generals were decided by Xun Yu. In short, rewards and punishments were clearly defined.

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

Just like the matter of conferring the title of Taiwei to Guo Fengxiao, the position of Taiwei was originally a military position, but a position in charge of the military power of the world.

But now, Xi Yu actually asked Guo Fengxiao, a counselor who was away from home, to serve as Taiwei. Could it be said that he wanted Guo Fengxiao to be the military general staff outside?

Secondly, in this war, no one was granted a title no matter how great or small their contribution was. 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 were to be granted a title of marquis at this time, some interested people would use it to make a fuss.

This second step must have been done deliberately by Xi Yu. After all, if some people are given the title of marquis at this time, how should Xi Yu deal with it when the day comes when he truly inherits the throne?

Secondly, the easiest thing to imagine among the rewards this time is Xi Yu's reward for Huang Xu.

General Hussar, this was the title Huo Qubing received back then. It can be said that although the power of General Hussar is not great, his honor is very high.

And in the past, even though 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, he must at least do the same as Huo Qubing, otherwise he really does not deserve this title.

From this title, many civil servants and generals of the drama family also saw that Xi Yu loved Huang Xu and had high hopes for his future.

The most important thing is that Huo Qubing was chasing eight hundred miles from Mobei. If Xi Yu only wanted to fight a civil war and unify the world, there was no need to give Huang Xu the title.

And now that Xi Yu has given Huang Xu such a title, can everyone think that Xi Yu is ready to start a war?

For many civil servants and generals in the theater, they have no objection to starting a war with foreign countries, and they are even a little excited.

After all, the Han people at this time were not like the Song Dynasty who only thought about their own three-acre land. The Han Dynasty was a martial artist, and even the literati could bring a three-foot sword to protect 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 to Mobei was because of the foundation of Wenjing's rule, but he almost destroyed the Han Dynasty in this way.

And now that the world is in chaos and has not even been unified yet, it is very likely that those who use foreign war at this time will not be able to bear it.

But Xi Yu didn't tell everyone why he did what he did. Anyway, he just released a signal now, and he could figure out the rest by himself.

As the reward ended, 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 reading. It was indeed much more comfortable to have someone reading to him than reading by himself.

But when he turned around, he found that Huang Xu was still standing motionless.

"What's wrong?"

After Xi Yu asked Huang Xu, Huang Xu reluctantly handed the tiger-head gilt gun to Xi Yu.

"Father, I will return this tiger-head gilt gun to you."

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

Anyway, this battle with Guan Yu was quite enjoyable for me.

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

"How's it going? Does it feel good?"

Upon hearing Xi Yu's question, Huang Xu also nodded.

"It works well, that's all"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Xu raised his head, his eyes shining.

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

Stretching his head, Huang Xu blinked and asked slowly.

Hearing Huang Xu's question, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing and kicked him on the butt.

"Go away, you just need Fang Tian Hua Ji."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to the backyard, but at this moment Huang Xu suddenly said:

"Father, when you get old, can you give me this tiger-head gilt gun?"

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 and foster father, don't leave in a hurry. What should we do with the captured Guan Yu?"

Hearing Huang Xu's words, Xi Yu remembered that there was still a Guan Yu who had not been dealt with.

I had been busy rewarding the heroes and formulating the next strategic goals, but I had forgotten such an important guy for a while.

In fact, this kind of thing is mainly because there is no shortage of generals who are good at conquering and fighting under Xi Yu. Otherwise, if other princes capture Guan Yu, they will definitely treat him as a distinguished guest and treat him well.

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

"Bring him in."

After hearing Xi Yu's order, Huang Xu waved towards the door. After a moment, 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 looking at Xi Yu, he turned his head and stopped looking at him, his eyes filled with endless arrogance.

In short, after entering the hall, Guan Yu did not do anything, he just stood alone without saying a word.

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

"Ling Xiao, how could you treat General Guan like this? General Guan is a Martial Saint."

Arriving at Guan Yu's side, Xi Yu pretended to complain about Huang Xu while untying Guan Yu and motioning for him to find a seat by himself.

But Guan Yu didn't seem to appreciate it, and he still stood motionless with his eyes and nose looking at the sky. It could be said that although Guan Yu was a prisoner at this moment, his arrogance in his bones had not diminished at all.

Looking at Guan Yu's appearance, Huang Xu felt very unhappy.

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

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

But he was directly stopped by Xi Yu.

"You go and do your business. I'll chat with General Guan here."

After saying that, he waved his hand to drive Huang Xu away, and then Xi Yu pulled Guan Yu to sit aside. He did not 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.
