In mid-to-late September, the war came to an end.

With Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun giving death orders and Cao Cao and Sun Jian fighting to the death, the Han army finally captured Wanzhong City, killed Sun Xia, killed 20,000 Yellow Turban Army, and captured tens of thousands of people alive.

The last Yellow Turban Army that was established was finally destroyed.

Since then, the first Yellow Turban Rebellion has been declared to be quelled and the world has temporarily resumed its pacification.

On the third day after that, Lu Zhi "arrogated" to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun knew it well and hurriedly said no, and then gave Lu Zhi a considerable portion of the spoils. Lu Zhi accepted part of it, and returned part to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

Among the part I accepted, Lu Zhi gave Guo Peng one-third and left two-thirds himself.

Guo Peng picked a few of the one-third of what he got and kept them with him, and rewarded them all to his soldiers to repay them for their hard work to save others. The soldiers under him were happy.

Afterwards, Emperor Ling learned the great news and was very surprised and ordered Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi to go back to the court to receive rewards.

On September 27, the three of them completed the handover procedures with the local government. On September 28, the Han army returned to the court.

On the sixth day of the 10th month, the Han army was rewarded and arrived in Luoyang.

Luoyang held a grand triumphal ceremony, and Emperor Ling personally attended to express his appreciation for the hard battles of the Han army, and then rewarded the army and officers at all levels.

As the three coaches, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were rewarded with each other.

Dong Zhuo was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yuyingxiang, with a fief of thousands of households.

Deputy General Lu Zhi, General Huwuwan, was promoted to the governor of Youzhou, and was also granted the title of marquis with a fief of thousands of households.

Huangfu Song was promoted to the Left Cavalry General and the Marquis of Huaili.

Zhu Jun was promoted to the right chariot general and Qiantang Hou.

As the greatest holder of merit, Lu Zhi was promoted to Taiwei, recorded the Shangshu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Fanyang, and directly ascended to the position of the Three Dukes.

The original Taiwei was dismissed by excuses after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Anyway, the Taiwei's name was mostly a false name and had little real power. In addition to the Three Dukes, it was mainly a political vase. The task was to take the blame for the emperor when there was a disaster, and it was specially used for dismissal.

The truly meaningful words "Record the Affairs of Shangshu" are the four words in the last four, that is, mastering the work of Shangshutai and becoming the de facto prime minister.

Emperor Ling believed that Lu Zhi had the talent of civil and military affairs, and was a talent of practical work. When today was in chaos and just finished the war, he needed capable people to organize the world. He knew that his talents were not enough to do this, so he had to select capable officials to do it, and Lu Zhi was the best choice.

Lu Zhi became a top senior official in the country and was in the limelight for a while. As his favorite disciple, Guo Peng, who killed Zhang Liang and captured Zhang Jiao and made several military achievements, should be rewarded by Guo Peng.

On the way back to Beijing, Lu Zhi asked Guo Peng what he wanted to do, what position he wanted to work in, etc. Guo Peng said that he was willing to seek positions in the northern border counties to fight the invasion of the northern barbarians.

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, thought about the position that Guo Peng is suitable for, but he felt that it was not very suitable for Guo Peng's age.

Indeed, Guo Peng was twenty years old and was a young man. He was an official for more than a year and had only been in the army for half a year. It was really nothing to have any experience, but he made great contributions. He also had the experience of leading the army alone to defeat the enemy, and he had great military talent.

Based on normal promotion, Guo Peng should be the lieutenant.

He was still young and could not have been promoted too quickly, but he had to reward this credit. The credit for killing Zhang Liang and capturing Zhang Jiao alive made Guo Peng look at Emperor Ling. If he had sought some unstoppable positions for him, Emperor Ling would probably agree very much.

So what position is better to seek for Guo Peng?

Guo Peng is full of courage, strategy, calm and judged. This is the excellent quality of leading troops to fight. He is a famous general, his favorite disciple, and his successor to his robe and mantle. It is impossible to do without enough credit.

However, the consequences are accompanied by danger. Whether Guo Peng can withstand the test of strong winds and waves is still to be discussed.

So Lu Zhi was very worried.

Lu Zhi told Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun about his troubles, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun gave him very pertinent advice.

When it comes to chaos in the world, it is precisely when talented people need to serve the country. Guo Peng has military talents and should be sent out to let him experience and grow. When he grows up in the future, the great man has another Lu Zigan who is a general and a prime minister. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

The persuasion of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun made Lu Zhi feel moved, but the danger accompanied by it also made Lu Zhi worry.

After many years of master-apprenticeship, Lu Zhi has long regarded Guo Peng as his nephew, and his successor to his own mantle, almost as important as his own son.

He is strict on the surface, but he loves it in his heart. He is really reluctant to let go of it and experience the ups and downs alone.

At the critical moment, Huangfu Song persuaded again, "If you have not led your troops alone, you cannot be called a famous general. If you follow Zigan, Zifeng is just a pioneer general. If you are alone, you may not be a general of the country. Teachers should think about their disciples and think about the long-term."

Huangfu Song's persuasion made Lu Zhi firmly think, so he asked Huangfu Song to serve as the above, saying that Guo Peng was the captain of Huwuwan.

Emperor Ling was very interested when he received Huangfu Song's memorial and asked Guo Peng about his talents, especially Zuo Feng, who was the first envoy to Lu Zhi's army, asked about Guo Peng's specific talents.

Zuo Feng suddenly felt that he had something to do, so he thought carefully and spoke slowly.

"Guo Peng is eight feet tall. Although he is young, he is a disciple of Duke Lu for many years. He has received the teachings of Duke Lu, and is very good at leading troops in Hebei. He is very brave in every battle. He must strive for the first place. His soldiers under his command are willing to charge with him, so he can set up a battle to kill Zhang Liang and capture Zhang Jiao alive."

Emperor Ling nodded slowly.

"I heard that he is still the son-in-law of Cao?"

"yes."

"That's how..."

Emperor Ling turned his eyes and asked, "Is there any objection?"

"Yes, many officials and ministers in the court said that Guo Peng was young and could not cope with complex situations. He still needed to be trained, and there was nothing else."

"So what if they are young? They are old and turn around and run away when they encounter bandits. How much damage will the loss of troops and land bring to the great man? Guo Peng is young, but he can quell the rebellion for the great man!"

Emperor Ling shook his hand irritatedly: "It's just decided. If you have merits, you have to reward them. If you have talent, you have to use them. No matter whether you are young or not, those who have talent make great contributions must use them!"

Emperor Ling made a decision and gave Guo Peng the position of Huwuwan as the lieutenant. For the purpose of capturing the Yellow Turban Thief Zhang Jiao alive, he was granted the title of Duxiang Marquis, with a fief of 300, a reward of 50 kilograms of gold, and a reward of silk, money, and various treasures.

Not only that, he was also promoted to Guo Peng's father, Guo Shan, to the Prime Minister of Pei, demonstrating his contributions.

Guo Peng was very happy when he first learned that he had become the Captain of Huwuwan. He was also expected by the Duxiang Marquis and bounties, but he did not expect that Emperor Ling really promoted Guo Shan to his official position.

Since ancient times, many sons have achieved high positions through their father's contributions, and there are really only a few fathers have been promoted through their contributions through their son's contributions.

Guo Peng expressed his gratitude, and then started to wear some clothes and was about to take up his post as soon as possible.

He must show the attitude of a young man who is eager to repay the emperor's kindness for the country.
