When Lin Han led his troops back to Chang'an, Zhang Wen came to greet him.

"General Zhang, the Qiang and Di bandits operating in the areas of Jincheng, Longxi, and Wudu in Liangzhou have been completely eliminated. I'm here to report."

"Good, General Xiao is indeed a worthy general." Zhang Wen smiled broadly and said, "I have already reported the battles in the Three Auxiliary Regions and Liang Province to Your Majesty. General Xiao, you should be credited with the primary contribution to the rebellion in Xiliang this time."

No one dared to take away Lin Han’s credit, after all, Lu Zhi was still in the court.

Lin Han saved Lu Zhi's life in the past. Many people were offended by trying to steal Lin Han's credit.

"General Zhang, you are too kind. As Han Chinese, it is our duty to protect our territory."

"Well, General Xiao, you're right." Zhang Wen laughed heartily. "General Xiao, the celebration banquet is ready. I'll welcome you."

"Thank you, General Zhang."

When several people were drinking and eating, Zhang Wen's subordinates suddenly reported, and everyone hurriedly got up and left.

An envoy entered with an imperial edict in his hand.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Zhang Wen will receive it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen immediately knelt down and accepted the order.

"I heard that the rebellion in the Three Prefectures has been resolved, and I am deeply relieved. During the Three Prefectures Rebellion, Zhang Wen killed the Qiang and Hu soldiers and stopped the Di people's rebellion, making great contributions. Now that the position of Grand Marshal in the court is vacant, I will appoint him to the position of Grand Marshal in Chang'an, and reward him with ten thousand gold coins, and grant him the title of Marquis of Huxiang, and receive the imperial seal in another place. When he returns triumphantly to the capital, he will come to the court to receive his reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Wen accepted the order and handed some reward money to the envoy.

"General Zhang, congratulations."

The envoy handed the Grand Marshal's Festival to Zhang Wen and congratulated him with a forced smile.

"Your Majesty has allowed the general to hold the position of one of the Three Dukes while not in the court. This is truly a sign of great respect and unprecedented."

"Thank you, Envoy Cao." Zhang Wen bowed respectfully.

He was able to take the position of Grand Marshal in a different place, breaking the convention. In addition to his military achievements in the Sanfu Rebellion, he also had some money deposited into the government to obtain this position. The emperor was selling official positions in Xiyuan, and when he heard that the position of Grand Marshal was vacant, he naturally coveted it.

"General Zhang, you're too polite. Who among you is General Xiao Hange?" asked the fourth advisor of the envoy.

"I am the one."

Lin Han stepped forward and bowed.

"General Xiao is so brave, His Majesty has heard of him in the capital, and has specially summoned him back to the court. The Emperor will reward him in the courtroom."

"Thank you, Envoy Cao." Lin Han thanked him.

His mission was over, and he wondered what kind of reward he would receive from the court. A promotion wouldn't be unreasonable, and he was eager to see how far it would go.

"Congratulations, General Xiao. You will definitely be promoted after this trip." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, General." Lin Han said neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"Hahahahahaha... Let's continue enjoying the banquet. This banquet is just to celebrate General Xiao's achievements and his promotion."

Zhang Wen laughed heartily and went inside with everyone else.

The next day, Lin Han bid farewell to Zhang Wen and led the Demon Guards back east.
