We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, seeing that Xi Yu led the civil and military officials to personally greet him, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei immediately dismounted 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? You've just accomplished a small feat and it's already so embarrassing. If there is something bigger 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 move made everyone present laugh out loud. They patted Huang Xu's shoulder and Xiyu took Huang Xu's hand and looked at 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 Liaodian, 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 world would eventually belong to Xi Gong.

Xi Yu led Huang Xu and others walking in the middle of the road. Countless people on both sides of the road greeted the returning soldiers with joy 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 Dianwei did not engage in any serious battle this time, his 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 General of Hussars. The last time he 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, the merits were equal to the fault, and he was rewarded with five thousand taels of silver notes.

Guo Jia was determined to have made 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 Guo Fengxiao as a Taiwei. The position of Taiwei is a military position, and it is 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 granted the title of marquis at this time, some people would make a fuss about it.

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 glory 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 across Mobei. If Xi Yu only wanted to fight a civil war and unify the world, there was no need to give Huang Xu this 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 one-third of an acre of land. The Han Dynasty was adept at martial arts, and even the literati could bring a three-foot sword to protect the world, let alone those military 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 collapsed the Han Dynasty just like this.

And now the world is in chaos and has not even been unified yet. At this time, foreign military dramatists may 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 return 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, it was something lent to him by his adoptive father after all, 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?"

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 one Guan Yu that he had not dealt with.

I had been busy rewarding the heroes and formulating the next strategic goals, but I suddenly forgot about such an important guy.

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 the other princes capture Guan Yu, they will definitely treat him as a guest of honor.

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 didn't do anything, he just stood alone without saying a word.

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

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

Arriving next to Guan Yu, 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 was very unhappy.

"A mere defeated general is 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'm here to chat with General Guan."

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 instead sat in a seat not far from Guan Yu. .

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

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

After all, Huang Xu was afraid of what kind of harm Guan Yu would cause to his adoptive father by breaking free of the rope, but he changed his mind.

He was able to capture Guan Yu alive, and his adoptive father, whose martial arts skills were thousands of times better than his own, would certainly not have any problems.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Xu bowed to Xi Yu and left.

At this time, Guan Yu and Xi Yu were sitting next to each other. Guan Yu didn't speak, and Xi Yu didn't speak either. There was a slight silence in the lobby for a while.

Seemingly feeling too bored, Xi Yu waved to someone to call Sun Shangxiang over. He listened to Sun Shangxiang reading and wasted time with Guan Yu.

Since he wants to waste it, he should waste it, since he has more 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 away my eldest brother Jingzhou and unjustly accused him of killing Jingzhou Mu. Guan will never fight for you in this life!"

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

"Combat? No, no, no, no one wants you to fight. Now I have a bunch of generals whose eyes are green waiting for a big battle. You are not even in the queue."

For Xi Yu, when he recruited Guan Yu, he never expected that he would fight for him.

The main reason for recruiting Guan Yu was that he admired this most famous representative of unparalleled loyalty and righteousness in history. There was no other reason.

After hearing what Xi Yu said, Guan Yu, who was originally very proud and raised his chin, now looked at Xi Yu with surprise on his face.

"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. He thought that Guan Yu had been fighting in the north and south for many years.

This reputation was established early on. No matter who he went to, everyone would respectfully invite him to fight.

Why is it that now that Xi Yu is here, this guy directly says that he will not be allowed to fight?

Insult, this is an extreme insult to him!

Looking at Guan Yu's appearance, Xi Yu shrugged slightly.

"You can still play a lot of roles even without fighting. For example, at the swearing-in ceremony before the expedition, you stand behind the incense burner. If anyone wants to worship, you can just stand there and let them worship. That's right, that's right. I looked at General Guan's posture just now, and it was very good. When the time comes, you should stand in that posture."

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

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

"In other words, letting the people put your portrait on the door will not only protect the people, but also drive away ghosts and evil spirits. General Guan, this is a great merit."

Although what Xi Yu said was very moving and seemed to be a very serious matter,

But Guan Yu's face was as dark as his third brother's at the moment. He slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"Xi Yu! Are you making fun of a certain family?"

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

However, the matter of riding a horse has to wait until the person is dead. Where can a living person enjoy the incense and worship!

This guy Xi Yu, instead of killing himself, asked people to worship him. This was a complete humiliation to himself!

Seeing Guan Yu's reaction so excited, Xi Yu gently waved his hand and said to him:

"General Guan doesn't need to be so angry. There are people here who talk about their posthumous titles every day."

At the same time, on the other side, Dian Wei, who had just returned to the military camp, suddenly sneezed, and then his whole body trembled unconsciously.

Xingxing's nose was filled with runny nose, and Dian Wei looked confused.

"What's going on? Did you catch a cold just after going to Xiangyang? No, no, no, I have to go to the hospital."

In the lobby at this time, Guan Yu, who was already very angry, became even more angry when he saw Xi Yu being so indifferent.

Looking at Xi Yu's look, Guan Yu really wanted to go up and slap him, but Guan Yu held back.

He knew that he was in the enemy's camp at this moment. Let alone the fact that he was unarmed, the main reason was that if he really wanted to fight Xi Yu, he might not be able to defeat him.

And he is not that kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, and of course he doesn't bother to do that kind of thing. So at this moment, Guan Yu simply pretended to be mute again.

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't speak for a long time, Xi Yu shrugged and said:

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

After saying this, Xi Yu waved his hand and called the two of them to take Guan Yu to buy a house.

"No it's not"

Hearing that Xi Yu was going to build a house for him, Guan Yu immediately prepared to say something, but he was carried out of the door by two of his men.

After Guan Yu left, Sun Shangxiang also came to the lobby with a book.

Although on the first day, Sun Shangxiang mispronounced many words because he didn't know how to read, and a lot of money was deducted. In the end, not only did he not earn a single point, but he actually lost a lot, and he left in a rage.

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

In order to make a living, Sun Shangxiang finally lowered her arrogant head, and the next day she went to study for Xi Yu.

I don't know if it was because he was out of work or for some other reason, but Sun Shangxiang made a lot of progress on the second day compared to the first. Not only did he not lose money, but he actually made some money.

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

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

After a period of time, 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 teach him.

Xi Yu also wanted to listen to Sun Shangxiang read because he had nothing to do.

Sitting on the chair, Xi Yu slowly said:

"What to read today."

Holding the book, Sun Shangxiang said sweetly:

"I've read two thousand words today, and the total is twenty gold. It's time to count again."

Looking up at Sun Shangxiang who was blinking at him, Xi Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Why do I remember that today you only read four to five hundred words at most, but why did you say you read two thousand words? Are you trying to cheat?"

The reason why Xi Yu said this word was because Sun Shangxiang had done this kind of cheating thing not just once or twice.
