Chapter 73 Removing the Grind and Killing the Donkey
After the first day of worship, Wang Yun, who was responsible for drafting the imperial edict, walked up to the altar, Killi for a while, and then started to promulgate the imperial edict:
"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager: The late emperor and the Empress Dowager were in trouble with the Ten Constant Masters. Fortunately, the prefect of Chengyang County Tang Quan killed evil spirits and rescued His Majesty. The so-called great achievements were difficult to describe. The new emperor ascended the throne and was granted the title of honor: the prefect of Chengyang County was promoted to General of Cavalry, with the title of Bisan Duke, and was granted the title of Prince Langya.
Recently, various places urgently reported that the Yellow Turbans are in turmoil in Qingxu and Yan. The General of the Cavalry led the military of these three continents and set up the General of the Cavalry in Chengyang County to suppress the rebels and bandits in various places. I respect this..."
"I received the order to thank me..."
Tang Quan took the imperial edict and retreated to the side. A smile appeared on Dong Zhuo's face in the lower left, but Ding Yuan frowned and gave the imperial edicts one by one. Tang Quan seemed to have received the most, from the prefect to the General of the Cavalry, what a great honor this was. Especially the General of the Cavalry is a high-ranking official who can establish a government office and appoint a general. If others get affirmation, they are inexplicably excited.
But Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan both saw Wang Yun's mentality of killing the donkey. Tang Quan was just a county magistrate, and his subordinates could not have tens of thousands of troops. If they said that they would control the military of the three continents, they would have to hand over the army to him.
Qingzhou has more than 200,000 troops, with sufficient troops and sufficient food, but an incompetent provincial governor. Yanzhou is in chaos, and no one cares about the princes everywhere. Although Xuzhou seems stable, it is because there is no dangerous place in Xuzhou that the rebels are difficult to hide.
The troops in these three places are no less than 500,000 and 600,000, but they will never obey the command of the so-called General of the Cavalry. Even if Tang Quan had a respectable status, he could only be a local king when he returned to Chengyang County and had no power to compete with Wang Yun and others.
These people can see that according to Tang Quan's contribution, at least he should have added a Jinwu garrison palace. Although the position is low, if he has the status of General Cavalry, he can at least resist the three ministers and have the right to speak in the court.
Letting him go back to Chengyang County is simply driving people. After retreating from the court, Dong Zhuo looked at Tang Quan with a smile and said:
"Tang Cavalry, congratulations. He is in charge of the military affairs of the three continents. How many people can there be in the world? He has also received the comfort of the army outside the city. He said goodbye."
Tang Quan pretended to be a little lonely, and Dong Zhuo failed to meet the Shaodi and others halfway through the intervention. Until now, he did not dare to enter the city easily, and the Eight School of Xiyuan was also controlled by Lu Zhi and others. If Dong Zhuo wanted to enter the city and control the court, he would have the chance to defeat Ding Yuan's army.
Although Tang Quan's high position has returned to his current position, he has been excluded. It will take more than half a month for the army of Chengyang County to arrive here, so there is no need to worry about him, Dong Zhuo.
Looking at Dong Zhuo who was laughing and leaving, Tang Quan glanced at Ding Yuan not far away. A young man with a tiger back and waist next to him followed closely with a long halberd in his hand. He touched his chin and muttered:
"The fisherman is profitable when fighting against the snipe and clam, or is it the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind? Forget it, I'd better go back for the time being. General Cavalry can command countless armies, hehe... Who dares to whine now? Wang Yun, Yang Biao, when you thought I wanted to control the government, I didn't expect that all I thought about was joining in the fun."
If Tang Quan hadn't been in the fun, he would have left a few days ago. He had contacted Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others these days. Unfortunately, these two men usually had guards and went home at night. Otherwise, Tang Quan would have drugged these two people and made them lingering with love.
Cao Cao looked at Tang Quan with his hands in his sleeves, and he called Yuan Shao over and asked:
"Master Husband, are you going to leave?"
Tang Quan's current military position is only below the general, but his position is respected by the three commoners in the imperial edict. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were a noble family, they were much shorter. In other words, Tang Quan's status at this time was among their elders, and although they were of the same age, they had to show respect.
Looking at this pair of good friends, he originally planned to make them lingering with affection, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance. He nodded and said:
"It turned out to be Meng De and Benchu. The court is in chaos. I should have assisted Your Majesty here. However, the imperial edict has been issued. I have to go to Chengyang County to train troops to clear out the traitors from all over the country. You two have to pay attention to the fat man Dong. That guy is eyeing the court and has his plan to not withdraw his troops for so long."
"What can I do?" Cao Cao asked.
Tang Quan shook his robe and said:
"If Dong Zhuo wants to enter Beijing, he can only destroy Ding Yuan. Otherwise, there will be 30,000 troops in the city of the eight schools in Xiyuan, and the three-legged tripod can still be maintained. As long as Ding Yuan retreats or something happens, you must be prepared for it. Of course, everything depends on Wang Situ and others. You can only do your best."
Seeing Tang Quan leave on horseback, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other and could only be speechless. Since Tang Quan killed Zhang Rang Duan Gui and brought King Chenliu back, he never expressed his opinions in the court, showing a rule that a foreign minister would not interfere in politics. Even if he brags, he rarely talks about major events;
He was leaving today, but he reminded Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to guard against Dong Zhuo, which made Cao Cao and the others feel inexplicably nervous. Tang Quan's reputation used to kill Zhang Jiao, but now he has a great reputation for rescuing and killing evil spirits. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would never think that this was his good luck. Even if the opportunity comes to him, it would be useless if he cannot control it.
Tang Quan left with a carriage and ten guards. No one even knew that they had left the city. But in the middle of the night, Tang Quan appeared in the study room in the secret stronghold in Luoyang.
Du Ziteng, who was waiting in the study, whispered:
"You reported to General Cai Zhaoji at home, so he should have fallen asleep at this time. We have already found out about his study, and there are indeed a large number of ancient books."
Tang Quan nodded and said:
"Very good. You will continue to inquire about all kinds of information. No matter how chaotic the city is, you must not reveal your traces. Chang'an's strongholds will be set up as soon as possible. We will continue to watch the fun at that time."
Du Ziteng quietly withdrew, and Tang Quan whispered:
"There is no reward for saving He and the Shaodi, no reward for killing Zhang Rang and Duan Gui, no reward for sending Emperor Xian back. It seems that this kind of trouble is not recognized by the system. Do you have to let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao be loved, or let those who should not be a couple be together?"
Shaking his head, the third freedom mission was the weirdest. In addition to getting a hundred rewards with He Hou and Wang Yue, Tang Quan had not received the extra reward now. He pouted and walked out of the study room, and his body fell to the roof of a house across the street. He looked at it and walked straight into a large study room.
