"Seeing you today, Marquis Wu is indeed full of vigor.”
Li Jing looked at Luo Yuan and smiled.
"Duke Wei must be joking. Duke Wei's reputation as the Great Tang's War God is like thunder.”
Luo Yuan looked at Li Jing curiously. This was the second famous person he had seen in this world.
Compared to the not-so-famous Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing was much more famous. After all, he was the Great Tang's God of War, and his name could be seen in all kinds of so-called famous generals and commanders.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Jing immediately read out the imperial edict.
"Loyal Martial General Luo Yuan, your achievements are unparalleled.”
Luo Yuan was stunned. Was he a marquis? However, it seemed to be within his expectations.
As for the military and political affairs of the four counties west of the river, this was unexpected. After all, there were more than 200,000 regular soldiers in the four counties west of the river.
There were also millions of people. This could be said to be a true governor of the border. It could even be said that he was ruling the land.
"I, Luo Yuan, have received the decree."
Li Jing handed the imperial edict to Luo Yuan and said with a smile.
"Lord Wu, from now on, we are colleagues.”
" In a few days, before the end of the year, we should be able to return to Chang 'an after we have settled the matters here. We will be rewarded according to our achievements.”
Luo Yuan nodded. Although he was conferred the title of Hexi Governor, Luo Yuan noticed that the imperial edict wanted him to go to the capital.
It seemed like Li Shiming had no intention of leaving Luo Yuan in Hexi.
This was normal, because in the Great Tang, border Great Generals like these generally did not stay on the border for long.
When the war was about to start, they would return to the border and take charge of military affairs.
However, during times of peace, they would stay in Chang 'an to avoid rebellion.
Luo Yuan did not care at all because he had the Hanba Army. They were all his lower-level zombies. They treated him as the God of Creation and were absolutely loyal. Luo Yuan was not worried at all whether he could control the four counties in the west of the river.
Other than the title of Marquis Wu and the official position of Hexi Governor, Luo Yuan also had the official position of Martial Official.
That was the Defender General! A Martial Official was only a titled official position, but it didn't have a yamen. It didn't represent power or dispatch.
Those with authority were called official positions, but some officials without titles were more often called their own martial official positions.
Most of them were generals, and most of them were either generals of the north or south.
Because there were only so many positions in the military.
As for the Defender General, he was a third-rank Martial Official, second only to the Supporting General and the Flying Cavalry General!
A dignified Secondary Rank-2! Luo Yuan's West River Governor was also a Rank-2 official, so his position as a Martial Official should be worthy of his position.
As for the title of Marquis Wu, it was slightly inferior.
He was a County Duke.
As for marquises, they were of the third rank, not even the third rank.
However, this was normal. After all, compared to official positions and so on, the title of nobility was the most important.
That was because one could only have power for a lifetime at most, but a noble title could be inherited by one's descendants!
This was also the reason why he was conferred the title of Marquis and not the title of Marquis.
A month passed, and Tuyuhun's affairs were handed over to the military and political talents sent by the imperial court.
Li Jing, Luo Yuan, and the others had only cleared the resistance forces in Tuyuhun. It was time to return.
"Duke Wei, can you give me a few days? I want to go home."
Luo Yuan said to Li Jing.
Li Jing nodded. He already knew that Luo Yuan was from the Jade Gate Pass River Village and was about to enter the capital. If there was no war, it would be difficult for Luo Yuan to return to the border.
After all, he held the military power of 200,000 soldiers. If Luo Yuan stayed in the border for a long time, the imperial court would not be at ease.
Therefore, Luo Yuan wanted to bring He Ergou and his wife, as well as the entire village, to Chang 'an.
Li Shi Min had prepared a piece of land for him in Wannian County of Chang 'an. He would bring the villagers there and have a place to live.
Furthermore, as a second-grade official of the imperial court, he could be said to stand at the peak of power. Naturally, he could support these villagers.
After all, the official positions above the second rank were all empty positions without any power. Those who had power were all held by Li Shiming, so naturally, they would not be conferred.
Outside the river village, Luo Yuan led over a hundred Hanba Army soldiers and rode their warhorses. They were heading toward the village in a mighty manner.
The people at the village entrance saw them from afar.
At first, they were shocked. After all, they had been through many battles and were covered in blood.
However, when they took a closer look and saw those familiar faces, the village was in an uproar.
"You're back! The boys are back!"
Instantly, the river village was shaken. One by one, the villagers ran over from their houses and fields. When they saw their sons and grandsons in front of them, tears streamed down their faces.
"Father!"
"Mother!"
For a moment, the scene was a little difficult to clean up, and sobs could be heard everywhere.
Luo Yuan looked at all of this with a smile. If he hadn't turned them into zombies, he would have brought back jars of ashes.
Luo Yuan asked them if they regretted turning into zombies.
Although everyone found it hard to accept that they had consumed human blood, they did not regret the outcome.
After all, they had all died once. When they died, they really could not let go of their families.
Some people were even married, so it was already considered extremely lucky to be able to live another life. Why would they regret it?
