Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 522 On the Rewards for Deeds
In the sixth year of Jian'an, at the end of December.

Lu Yan and Cao Cao returned to Xuchang before the end of the year.

Cao Cao's nearly one-year crusade against the Yuan brothers came to an end with the arrival of winter.In addition to the sporadic harassment from foreign races, the north has temporarily entered a short period of peace.

After returning to Xuchang, it is natural to surprise and reward the civil and military officials who made contributions to the Northern Expedition. Whether it is the advisers and soldiers who are working hard on the front line, or the civil and military officials who are in charge of the overall situation in the rear, as long as they have meritorious service, they will all be rewarded.

Cao Cao is already the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, and there is no promotion.The imperial court rewarded him more with money and status symbols, such as holidays, opening a mansion, and so on.

Lu Yan is still the general of the hussars, the leader of the servants, the governor of Yuzhou, and the prime minister's military.

Xi Zhicai led the governor of Yanzhou and participated in the prime minister's military affairs on the basis of the military division's sacrificial wine.

Guo Jiatong sacrificed wine for the army teacher, led the royal doctor, and participated in the prime minister's military affairs;

Xun Yu is a minister, a doctor of Guanglu, and participates in the military affairs of the prime minister.

Xia Houyuan was promoted to General Protector, leading the Prime Minister of Zhongshan;
Cao Ren was promoted to the general of Zhengdong, leading the prefect of Hejian;

Zhao Yun was promoted to the general who conquered the north and led the prefect of Changshan;

Huang Zhong was promoted to General Zhenwei, blah blah blah...

Cao Cao and Lu Yan, a series of civil and military officials who performed well in the Northern Expedition, were all rewarded.Such actions naturally made the officials in the court who were not from the Cao family feel unhappy, but they dared not speak out.

After all, now that even Yuan Shao has lost to Cao Cao, which other princes in this world can stop the Cao Group?Even if these people can't understand Cao Cao, they have to learn to let themselves adapt.

Lu Yan and Lu Lingqi returned to Chenliu County before the New Year's Eve. As for Bingzhou, it was nominally under the jurisdiction of the state shepherd Lu Bu, but in fact it was still managed by Cao Cao's staff.

After returning to General Chenliu Hussar's Mansion, Lu Yan finally put down all his work and lay down.

After sleeping for a full six or seven hours, it was not until around noon that Lu Yan walked out of his room.

It's been almost a year, and Lu Yan, who finally had a good sleep again, stretched fiercely in front of the bright but not very warm winter sun.

"In these days, it's true that gods don't change!" Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Hey! Our General Lu is finally willing to come back?"

Besides Guo Jia, who else could have the yin and yang strange energy?

"It's Feng Xiao!" Seeing that it was Guo Jia who came, Lu Yan immediately asked with a smile, "Is there any discomfort in your body recently? How about this general coming to give you two needles?"

Guo Jia squinted his eyes and spit out a word: "Get out!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded outside: "Brother! You're back!"

"Brother! I miss you so much!"

"Sir! You are finally back!"

Lu Yan looked around and saw that it was Lu Xun, Lu Ji and Chen Dao, so he also smiled and said, "Long time no see!"

After the three of them came to Lu Yan and Guo Jia, they bowed to Guo Jia again: "I've seen Guo Jijiu!"

"No, no!" Guo Jia waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Let's talk, I'm going to drink some wine."

As soon as Guo Jia left, Lu Ji couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and praised Lu Yan: "Brother, we've heard about Bingzhou and Hedong, you are really amazing!"

Lu Xun appeared calmer than Lu Ji, but he still couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, "Yes, brother, I wish I could follow you to level things up!"

Chen Dao also said excitedly: "Sir, next time you go out, will you take me with you? I... I can lead the horse and jump for you. I just ask you to let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and expand the territory for the great man!"

Speaking of leading the horse, Lu Yan suddenly remembered that the person he had brought back was right, Ma Chao who was appointed as the head groom by Lu Yan!

Lu Yan looked at Chen Dao and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, someone has already taken my horse, but he lives in the barracks now. I'll take you to meet him later."

Hearing that the position in his heart was taken a step ahead, Chen Dao shouted furiously: "Who is it?! Look at my young master, I won't teach him a lesson!"

"Really? I hope you can do what you say and what's more, don't be taught too badly." Hearing Chen Dao's words, Lu Yan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and couldn't stop looking at him. A little more sympathy.

After dismissing the three little ones, Lu Yan finally ushered in the long-lost peace.

When he came to the study room, Lu Yan casually took out a book from the bookshelf, and sat down on his beloved chair.

He likes a quiet environment, and likes to sit and read a book alone, in a daze. Lu Yan enjoys his own quiet time to the fullest.

It's a pity that the sky always fails to meet people's wishes. Not long after Lu Yancai was quiet, Cao Cao came again.

"Mr. Lu Da! Mr. Lu Da!"

Lao Cao yelled loudly across the study.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Lu Yan's mouth, and he helplessly put down the notebook in his hand.
Opening the door of the study, Lu Yan saw Cao Cao's big face full of beards.

"Mr. Cao, why do you come to my place when you have time?" Lu Yan asked.

Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Isn't Zhao Ji about to give birth? I'm here to ask you to help Zhao Ji protect the law!"

"???"

"Dharma protector? What law to protect???" Lu Yan was confused.

"What the hell is giving birth and not ascending through tribulation, what the hell am I supposed to do?!" After Lu Yan realized it, he couldn't help complaining crazily in his heart.

"Oh, aren't you proficient in medicine and fairy art? Only with you can the safety of Zhaoji and the child be guaranteed!"

"Immortal sister! In terms of pharmacology, isn't there still Hua Lao's genius doctor?"

"Of course I invited him too."

"." Lu Yan was speechless, thinking in his heart: "It seems that Cai Zhaoji really holds a lot of weight in Cao Cao's heart."

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's heart turned, and he said: "With Cai Yan here, can Lao Cao's lust be restrained? If that's the case, it's not impossible to 'protect the Dharma' for her."

Anyway, it was just to stand guard outside. After thinking carefully for a while, Lu Yan agreed, "If it's Zhao Ji, I can help you watch after all, she also helped us a lot back then."

As the saying goes, seven or eight-year-old children hate dogs.
Back then, Cai Yan helped teach the children in General Hussar's mansion, which saved Lu Yan a lot of trouble, and Lu Yan still remembers this kindness in his heart.

"In a blink of an eye, little brats like Guo Yi, Huang Wudie, and Lu Ji have grown up, and it's time for them to enter higher-level government schools." Lu Yan felt emotionally.

When Cao Cao saw that Lu Yan agreed, he couldn't help but immediately extended the invitation, "Recently, a new restaurant opened in Xuchang City. The dishes are very good. I invite you to have a meal!"

Lu Yan was startled and said, "Eh? The sun is coming out from the west today, Mr. Cao, why are you so generous?"

"That's what I said, when have I not been generous to you?"

"Since that's the case, respect is worse than obedience!"

Cao Cao laughed, pulled Lu Yan's arm and said, "Let's go!"

"Wait!" Cao Cao was about to pull Lu Yan out, but Lu Yan suddenly stopped Cao Cao.

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao asked.

"Feng Xiao just said that he was going to have a drink, how about we invite him together?"

Cao Cao slapped his head immediately, and said: "I almost forgot about him. Hurry up, let's call him together! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"
