"Why are the leader and Cao Mengde missing again?"

In the tent of the Allied Commander, the eighteen princes and others looked helpless. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't know where they ran and lost their traces.

However, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, but there was no worry. Although the emperor had not been rescued, Dong Zhuo's rebels had become the last of their strength, and each of them was a foregone conclusion.

The impact of the disappearance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at this time only made all the princes helpless and curious, far less than that when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao disappeared before Sishui Pass, they were panicked and angry.

"Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao, General Huangfu Song of the Cavalry, General Zhu Jun of the Cavalry, and others have repeatedly urged us to go to the Taiwei Yang Biao's mansion and let us obey the Taiwei's orders."

Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao said with a gloomy face.

During the process of the eighteen princes attacking Dong Zhuo, he admitted that he did not put in much effort, but the soldiers under his command were charging forward.

And he has always been in charge of the rear army and has made great contributions.

If they go to the Taiwei Mansion to obey the order, at least half of their contributions will be wiped out by the officials of the court.

Not to mention that he was dissatisfied, even the other princes of the Eighteen were dissatisfied and felt very disgusted.

If the emperor ordered it, it would be acceptable. What qualifications are the officials of the court who have commanded them?

"We need to wait for the leader and Meng De to make a decision on this matter."

Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly.

He knew the thoughts of Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao and others. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao defeated Dong Zhuo's army and raised their prestige to the point of being so impressive. However, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's qualifications were far inferior to those of Situ Wang Yun and Taiwei Yang Biao and other senior emperors.

Now the entire Luoyang City, the Xiliang rebels have become yesterday. The eighteen princes and civil and military officials in the court formed an opposition situation. Whether the eighteen princes led the next action, or whether the eighteen princes followed the court's orders became the key to the game between the two sides.

Tao Qian originally thought that he would participate in the alliance of the Eighteen Routes of Princes, so he would play soybeans, saying that he would defeat the Xiliang rebels within one day, and that he would win while lying down, and great contributions fell from the sky.

He thought about this question, whether to support Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, or Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others, he made a decision without much thought.

First of all, the eighteen princes controlled the most powerful force in the world. Almost all these soldiers and horses were followed by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The ten thousand Danyang soldiers he had handed to Cao Cao before would probably no longer obey his orders.

The three-month reward of food and grass was distributed on the spot when the Allies surrounded Luoyang City.

Moreover, the rebels of Xiliang and Bingzhou were mostly cavalrymen, with hundreds of thousands of war horses. All of these war horses were distributed to the vanguard army and the central army, and 100,000 war horses were left to reward the rear army.

With such a heavy reward, the hearts of the Allies have long been bribed.

What's more, the nine generals who broke through the Sishui Pass first and then broke through the Hulao Pass are now waiting for a generous reward. If the Allies obey the court's orders, how could they have any contribution?

Only when the Allies guide everything in Luoyang City, their contributions will not be swallowed up.

Another reason why Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian stood on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's side was that the Allies needed him, and he was also an important official of the late emperor, with prestige and qualifications enough to compete with Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others.

In addition to him, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and others were also important officials of the late emperor. On the side of the Allied Army, they were indispensable part of them. On the side of the court, they were foreign ministers.

"The loyalty of all the officials in the court is questionable. Who knows whether they secretly defected to Dong Zhuo?"

Chenliu Prefect Yang Miao said with a smile.

The person who participated in the alliance was at least one prefect. It was normal for such great contributions to defeating Dong Zhuo's army to be promoted to one or two levels. However, there were only thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, so it was impossible to distribute them at all.

Some of them are destined to enter the court, and the positions in the court are limited, one carrot and one pit, and they are naturally opposite to the officials in the court.

The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers must make at least half of their space to meet their needs.

If they really move closer to the officials in the court, most of them will probably be promoted and demoted openly and secretly.

"The credit is ours and no one can take it away."

At this moment, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao walked in. Yuan Shao became the commander. Cao Cao stood in front and said with a stern expression.

"With the merits and prestige of Mr. Tao, the governor of Xuzhou will at least be promoted to the governor of Xuzhou, and General Andong will also be promoted to the general of Zhendong. The original title of Marquis of Ting must be promoted to the marquis of the Township. When we rescue His Majesty, the leader of the alliance will definitely make a contribution to Mr. Tao."

Cao Cao pointed his hand at Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian and said with a smile.

"You all devoted your efforts to the Han Dynasty. You will be granted the title of marquis and generals for your contributions. The leader of the alliance will express his respects to Your Majesty one by one."

"Meng De, how could I do such a contribution? It's all because you and the leader are in charge."

Tao Qian was humble, but his face was filled with smiles.

If you surrender to all officials in the court, it is difficult to determine whether you can be named the governor of Xuzhou.

The others were also excited. During the entire process of attacking Dong Zhuo, Tao Qian was a grain transport official. Such contributions could be rewarded in such a way, let alone them.

"You who can sit in the tent of the commander today will at least get the title of a general. The Han Dynasty is now wandering in storms. Those who can participate in the alliance are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. They need to obtain higher positions and make greater contributions to the Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao's eyes were deliberately stopped on Sun Jian, Guan Yu, Dian Wei and others, and promised.

"Thank you, General Cao!"

In the commander's tent, all the princes stood up to thank him, full of smiles.

"Report to the leader of the alliance, an old man outside the tent asked to see the leader."

At this moment, a soldier hurried in and reported.

"Why are you happy?"

But the soldier had just finished speaking, and a figure walked into the commander's tent and said calmly.

"It turned out to be Lord Wang Yun."

Cao Cao bowed slightly, and the other princes didn't even get up.

The power of the aristocratic families penetrated into all aspects of the Han Dynasty. Wang Yun was able to enter the Allied Commander's tent without any surprises.

"If you can join the alliance, I think they are loyal ministers who are loyal to Your Majesty and the Han Dynasty. You should know that the Taiwei is involved in the national military. If you enter Luoyang City, if you do not obey the Taiwei's order, you will despise Your Majesty and will seriously threaten the foundation of the Han Dynasty."

Wang Yun said righteously.

He was right. If the local government suppressed the central government, it would only cause greater unrest.

"Don't worry, Lord Situ, the people in the tent are all talents from all over the world and should enter the temple."

Cao Cao was neither alive nor indifferent to his principles.

How can I control the world if I listen to all the officials of the court?

If Diao Chan hadn't been concerned about Diao Chan, he might have been grateful to Wang Yun, and he wouldn't even bother to say this. Whether it was Situ Wang Yun, Taiwei Yang Biao or other court ministers, he would be destined to be wiped out of the court by him.

Wang Yun, “········".

"The officials have discussed and reported that Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​were the general of cavalry, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde were the general of Zhendong, Xuzhou governor Tao Qian was the governor of Xuzhou, Jizhou governor Han Fu was the governor of Jizhou·································································································································································································

Wang Yun's heart sank. Cao Cao's words made Wang Yun feel the toughness of the Allied forces, so he directly took out the reward line of all officials in the court.

In their eyes, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were only granted a title of lieutenant, let alone a title of marquis.

However, in order to win over the eighteen princes, they could only do this.

As soon as Wang Yun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the commander's tent changed, especially Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, and others. The court's reward for them this time was indeed very generous, exceeding their expectations, which surprised them very much.

Sun Jian, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also showed their intentions. At this time, there were very few people who had the same intention as the eighteen princes.

Especially when the court rewarded them with great rewards, they had already tended to compromise with the court.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao both frowned slightly. The court spent a lot of money to disintegrate the Allied Army, and their next actions were a little troublesome.

"The Allied forces are still commanded by Benchu ​​and Meng De, but they must have nominal commander, and Benchu ​​is now the General of the Cavalry, and Cao Cao is the General of Zhendong."

Wang Yun directly took out his killer move, and a hint of pride flashed deep in his eyes. He had to admit the court's righteousness after taking the reward from the court.

After the rescue of Your Majesty, the eighteen princes were dispatched to various parts of the Han Dynasty. The eighteen princes were defeated without attacking.

Cao Cao naturally knew the court's plan and asked Wang Yun to continue talking. The morale of the eighteen princes would only shake more and more. However, there are records in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Diao Chan respected Wang Yun very much, and what tough measures would it be difficult to use against Wang Yun.

Wang Yun also saw that the princes in the commander's tent were moving in their faces, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also looked embarrassed and completely relieved.

The great families are the foundation of the Han Dynasty. If so many grassroots are granted marquis and generals at once, they will seriously shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty and must be cut off.

"Mr. Fang Mo ordered the circumcision of Situ Wang Yun's mansion."

At this moment, the two messengers broke into the commander's tent and whispered in Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's ears.

"It's outrageous. The bold Wang Yun actually secretly colluded with Dong Zhuo's rebels, injuring the loyal ministers, and took them down for me."

After entering the commander's tent, Yuan Shao, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said furiously.

"I just got the news that all the officials of the court actually colluded with Dong Zhuo's army in the imperial city and planned to let Dong Zhuo go. Wang Yun was the leader. Otherwise, why didn't he object when Dong Zhuo was named the Grand Tutor? He himself has always been in the position of the Three Duke?"

"I suspect that the identities of the officials of the court have other elements. I immediately sent troops to surround the Taiwei Mansion and temporarily detain the officials. These people must be reviewed by the organization... Cough cough cough... must be identified by the Allies."

Cao Cao's eyes turned, his eyes were extremely cold and calm, but his expression was angry and he roared.

The Wang Yun family, one of the three dukes, was confiscated, and there was no room for relief from the officials of the court. They cut the mess quickly and completely replaced the officials of the court.

Wang Yun, “········".
