Chapter 284
Relying on his own reputation and the attachment of the two generals Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, Tang Xiu collected all 11 Xiliang troops.

There are also countless money, food, and treasures, all of which were looted by Dong Zhuo before, making him a huge fortune.

All is well, Tang Xiu!

There is also Hua Xiong leading fifty thousand Xiliang troops to guard Hulao Pass, who has expressed his intention to surrender to Tang Xiu, and there are fifty thousand Bingzhou troops in Luoyang city.

Tang Xiu now has 21 troops under his command, and has countless money and food, which can be described as a strong army.

For the first time, he felt that there was such a slight apology for killing Dong Zhuo, which was all the warmth from Dong Zhuo!And the decision to make a fortune in Dong Zhuo's army was really correct!
Today, Tang Xiu is in charge of an army of more than 20 soldiers, with sufficient food and supplies, and together with "cheap father-in-law" Situ Wangyun, Taiwei Huang Wan, Sikong Yang Biao and other officials represented by the three princes, are in charge of the government.

Although Dong Zhuo has been killed, the world is already divided by princes, and the Han regime is almost overthrown.

Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and the others were all loyal ministers to the Han Dynasty. If they wanted to help the Han Dynasty, they naturally had to rely on Tang Xiu, the number one general in the world, and his army.

Therefore, officials headed by Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and other three officials began to revise Tang's name, that is, to whitewash him.

The power represented by the officials and the aristocratic families behind them should not be underestimated. After he began to whitewash Tang Xiu, his reputation among the people in the world immediately changed.

In the eyes of everyone in the world, Tang Xiu has become a great hero who surrendered to Dong Zhuo's command and endured humiliation for the sole purpose of killing Dong's bandits, helping the community, and saving the common people!
He is willing to bear the infamy of a small country thief and traitor, so he sacrifices himself for the people, which is really admirable!

For a time, Tang Xiu, apart from his reputation as the No.1 general in the world, lived up to his reputation as a small country thief and traitor, and immediately became a great hero who endured humiliation, and was praised by the people all over the world!
Tang Xiu was also amused. It seems that no matter it is ancient or modern, public opinion is very important.And the court officials and the families behind them controlled the public opinion.

Not long after, Tang Xiu was promoted from the second-rank hussars general to "Great General", ranking first-rank, and his status was extremely respected.

He has also married Diaochan, and at the same time, he is in power with the officials represented by the three princes, including Wang Yun, Huang Wan, and Yang Biao.

In this regard, Tang Xiu gave Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others great power, and had almost no intention of meddling in government affairs.

This shocked Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others. Originally they were worried that Tang Xiu would become another Dong Zhuo!
Could it be that this is really a hero who "bears the burden of humiliation"?

The stories they fabricated to whitewash Tang Xiu almost made them believe it now!
How did Wang Yun and other officials know that Tang Xiu's dungeon mission was to kill Dong Zhuo and revive the great man. Since these courtiers all wanted to help the great man, they could be regarded as like-minded with him.

How could Tang Xiu dismantle his own platform?
After Tang Xiu was promoted to a general, he was promoted to a series of generals. He still had complete control over the military power, even Wang Yun and other officials wisely did not intervene, nor could they intervene.

Zhang Liao was awarded the second-rank Hussar General, which was Tang Xiu's previous title. At the same time, Zhang Liao also replaced Tang Xiu, commanding the [-] Bingzhou army.

To receive such an honor, even the famous generals of Zhang Liao's generation were also very excited. After all, Zhang Liao was still young at this time, and General Hussars was already higher than Sangong, and he was about to reach the pinnacle of generals!

Going one step further, he would be a great general like Tang Xiu!
At the same time, the generals of Bingzhou, such as Gao Shun and Zang Ba, also had their own titles. They were all second-rank generals such as General Zhengdong and General Zhengnan, and they still served in the Bingzhou Army.

Tang Xiu also canonized Fan Chou as the Second Rank General of the Fujun Army, and Zhang Ji as the Second Rank General of the Town Army. They still commanded the old troops and were in charge of logistics.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were overjoyed and began to turn their hearts towards Tang Xiu. They also did not expect that the new lord not only did not remove their military power, but still entrusted them with important tasks and promoted them.

It should be known that Fan Chou was only General You before, and Zhang Ji was not a former general either, they were both generals of the third rank, but now they have been promoted to generals of the second rank.

The rank of these generals seems to be dispensable, and the military power of their subordinates has not changed, but for every general, the promotion of rank and title is very important, which represents fame and glory!

Tang Xiu made an exception and promoted Zhang Ji's nephew, Zhang Xiu, to take over Zhang Ji's previous title of general as a third-rank former general, in charge of the Xiliang army, and in charge of the military guards of the capital.

As a result, Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu were both surprised and overjoyed, and they all fell in love with Tang Xiu.

Hua Xiong, who was in charge of guarding the Hulao Pass, also commanded the [-] Xiliang Army, sent a surrender form, which Tang Xiu naturally accepted, and made Hua Xiong a second-rank chariot and cavalry general, ranking higher than the third.

Hua Xiong was originally saved by Tang Xiu and had the grace of saving his life. Later, he turned his heart to Tang Xiu's bravery and talent.

Tang Xiu also preliminarily controlled more than 20 troops in an orderly manner.

It's just that he also felt that the generals under his command were not enough.

The Bingzhou Army is led by Zhang Liao, one of the 64 famous generals in ancient and modern times, so there is nothing to worry about.

As for the 16 Xiliang army, [-] of which are commanded by Hua Xiong, guarding Hulao Pass, it doesn't matter.

Of the remaining 11 Xiliang troops, [-] belong to the commanders Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who are in charge of logistics, so it doesn't matter.

It's just that the remaining [-] Xiliang Army only has one general like Zhang Xiu, and at this moment Zhang Xiu is a little young and can only barely be competent.

Under Tang Xiu's command, there is still a lack of generals who can lead the army to fight. After all, unifying the world, ending the troubled times, and revitalizing the great Han are his next important tasks.

Whether it is the princes from all walks of life, or the "Dong Zhuo remnant" Niu Fu army stationed in Chang'an, it is a serious problem for him!
There is even Lu Bu, the former number one flying general in the world, who is now leading the army and still doesn't know where to go.

I don't know if Lu Bu will stand on his own, join forces with Niu Fu, or return to Luoyang City and obey the court's orders?
After thinking about it, Tang Xiu came to find his cheap father-in-law, Situ Wangyun.

He is already married to Diao Chan, and has a stunning wife, but she is a little young, only 16, [-] years old.However, women in ancient times were precocious, and Diao Chan seemed to be inclined towards adult beauties.

Tang Xiu came to find cheap father-in-law Wang Yun, and it was to discuss that in the name of the court, he would summon some generals to come and listen.

This proposal surprised Wang Yun, he did not expect Tang Xiu to be willing to summon generals in the name of the imperial court!This is not the same as giving up his military power to the generals summoned by the court! ?
