Infinite Streamer

Just as Lü Bu and many of his advisers including Chen Gong were sitting together, discussing solemnly how to wipe out the Huns once and for all, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and the eunuch tianshi sent by the court appeared again in the ancient city of Machi in Jiuyuan County.

At this moment, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, has passed away, but the bad news has not yet reached this remote borderland. This time, the angel came all the way to Jiuyuan with an important mission - to read out an imperial edict issued by Emperor Ling of Han before his death. Everyone knows that this imperial edict is of great importance and may affect Lu Bu's entire layout and the fate of each of them. For a moment, the originally tense atmosphere became more solemn, as if even the air had solidified.

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

I have heard of Lü Bu's name for a long time! He is brave and fearless, and his power is feared by the world; his achievements are great, and he has expanded the territory. Now I am issuing this decree to honor his virtue.

General Lu led his troops to conquer the Xiongnu and was invincible. Wherever he went, the enemy was defeated. He was the bravest of the three armies and had extraordinary wisdom and strategy. He was truly a pillar of the country!

Therefore, I have decided to upgrade Jiuyuan County to Jiuyuan Prefecture, and to appoint Lü Bu as the governor of Jiuyuan Prefecture, in charge of the military and political power of the area, and to appoint and dismiss officials in the area under his jurisdiction. I hope General Lü will continue to work hard to protect the country and the people, and make new contributions to our Han Dynasty!

I also think that the new army under General Lu has strict military discipline, strong fighting capacity and many military achievements, and deserves to be rewarded. I hereby grant Lu Bu the title of "Wen Hou" to show his special merit.

Admire this!

Moreover, according to the clear provisions of this imperial edict, since the border areas have long been firmly controlled by the Xiongnu, it is very difficult to effectively govern them. Therefore, the territories that Lu Bu has captured now are completely handed over to him to plan and govern by himself, and he can implement the ruling strategy at will according to his personal will. In addition, he has the right to independently appoint and dismiss officials at all levels in the area under his jurisdiction, and enjoys a very high degree of autonomy.

After receiving this good news, Lü Bu was filled with extreme excitement and pride. He deeply understood how arduous the responsibility behind this supreme honor and great power was, but at the same time, he was also full of confidence and firmly believed that he would be able to successfully complete this important task.

Then, he will do his best to fulfill his duties, strive to create a better Jiuyuan County, and defend the tranquility and peace of the border to the death, so as to contribute more to the prosperity and stability of the country. And wise men like Chen Gong also congratulated Lu Bu one after another, and continued to assist him, working hand in hand to create great achievements.

Lu Bu also specially gave Ding Yuan and the angel several sets of gorgeous glass crafts as a thank you gift, and then personally saw Ding Yuan and the angel off.

With this imperial edict as an endorsement, Lü Bu had a legitimate position and a reputation for justice. He was fully able to independently carry out comprehensive planning for the occupied areas and was responsible for the management of all military and political affairs.

In this way, the court meant that Lü Bu did not need to pay attention to the disputes and entanglements between other forces in the Han Dynasty, and could focus his energy wholeheartedly on resisting foreign enemies. As the saying goes, "to resist foreign aggression, there is no need to maintain internal stability." Only by stabilizing the external borders and ensuring national security can we better deal with internal problems. At this moment, Lü Bu held the imperial edict in his hand and shouldered a heavy responsibility. He would go all out and work hard to achieve this goal.
