In recognition of his merits, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made him a great general of the Hussars, with the same status as the three dukes, second only to the great general. During the Han and Wei dynasties, the general of the Hun Qi was still a heavy general, and he was vaguely the second most important person in the army.
