He had been waiting all along.
...
After capturing Hanzhong, Lu Yuan issued an imperial decree to reward the meritorious soldiers, and then generously promoted his two avatars by a series of nobility titles.
On the surface, he played a perfect act.
After all, they were his own avatars. The more he rewarded them, the more insignificant the difference was, as if it were just passing from his left hand to his right hand.
However, through these generous rewards, he could boost the morale of the army and inspire the hearts of people.
As for the benefits that cost nothing, Lu Yuan was naturally pleased.
In addition to rewarding the army, Lu Yuan also issued a decree ordering the two forbidden armies stationed at Jianmenguan and the forbidden army of Xiangyang Prefecture in Western Jin to remain in Hanzhong District as the local garrison troops.
