Cao Mao had clearly felt the changes he had brought about.
This brought Cao Mao to his senses in an instant.
When discussing strategies in the future, he could not put too much faith in his foreknowledge. His series of actions had changed everything, and future developments would most likely no longer follow his predictions.
I must stay clearheaded at all times.
I must not grow arrogant or complacent.
I must not forget the lessons of Lu Yu, Gao Rou, Wang Xiang, and the others!
Hu Zun had no idea what the emperor was thinking at that moment. He was simply immersed in the joy of this exceptional honor.
Cao Mao had made a point of arranging the grandest of banquets to entertain Hu Zun.
Hu Zun seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
But deciding what title to confer upon Hu Zun had become a problem.
According to Cao Mao's original thinking, he would not have needed to consider this problem at all. The old man might not live that long. He only needed to delay a little, then posthumously grant him a general's title.
But the situation now seemed somewhat different.
Old Hu was positively bouncing with life. How did he look anything like someone about to die of illness?
He certainly had to be granted a title, but Grand General was plainly out of the question. Cao Wei had no intention of installing a new Grand General for the time being.
Among the other Three Great Generals, the posts of General of the Guards and General of Chariots and Cavalry were already occupied, leaving only General of Agile Cavalry vacant.
Cao Mao was still pondering the matter.
The banquet was still going on.
Hu Zun's lightning-fast suppression of the rebellion had invisibly given Cao Mao's reputation another boost.
