Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 457: Pay homage to General Wei and control the four states!
The world situation in the first year of Ding'an was destined to be chaotic and disorderly.

Originally, the princes of the world thought that the Jingnan battle at the beginning of the year might be the most intense and lively battle in the first year of Ding'an.

However, after September, Guo Jia's strategy of connecting princes before his death was finally implemented.

Under the leadership of Cao Cao, the world's most powerful princes embarked on the road to the Central Plains. Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu formed an extremely powerful coalition army.

A total of 46 princes' coalition forces marched into Yuzhou under the false name of a million coalition forces.

The Battle of Yuzhou attracted the attention of the whole world. Almost everyone felt that the territory of the Central Plains in Hebei was about to be swallowed up by the allied forces of the feudal lords. Even if they couldn’t swallow all of it, at least the two states of Yuzhou and Yanzhou were absolutely impossible to keep. .

However, when Yuan Tan led his Pagoda Iron Guard to the battlefield, the entire battlefield situation changed drastically.

On September [-]th of the first year of Ding'an, in the first battle of Qiao County, Deng Ai, the second apprentice of Yuan Tan, the Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty, beheaded the vanguard general of Xichuan Army and defeated the [-] vanguard army of Xichuan Army.

On September [-]th, Qi Hou led [-] Futu iron guards to the battlefield and raided the Xichuan Army headquarters camp. Xichuan Army General Zhang Wei retreated without a fight and fled in a hurry. Xichuan's [-] troops lost more than [-].

Yang Ling, the forward of the Jingzhou Army, carelessly underestimated the enemy, and attacked the headquarters of Qiao County in ambush. On September 24, Yuan Tan, the Qi Hou, burned the entire army with fierce fire.

Wenpin surrendered to Yuan Tan's tribe in front of the formation. Cai Mao, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, preferred to die rather than surrender and was released by Yuan Tan to Jingzhou.

On the first day of October, Yan Yanbing, a vanguard general from Yizhou, came to Qiao County and fought successively against Liu Yan and Han Hao, generals from Hebei, and Deng Ai, a young general from Xuzhou.

On the second day of October, Yan Yan fought with Yuan Tan for more than [-] battles, and was defeated by cowardice. He was suspected by the supervising army Wu Ban. Internal strife broke out in the vanguard of the Yizhou Army. After a scuffle, the Yizhou generals Yan Yan and Lei Tong surrendered Xuzhou...

So, on the tenth day of October, Yuan Tan led his soldiers and horses and returned to Qiaojun singing a triumphant song.

On Yuan Shao's side in Hebei, the reinforcements that had been prepared had not left Yecheng before they received news of the defeat of the combined army of the princes.

It could not be more appropriate to describe Yuan Shao and others' feelings at this moment as being overwhelmed.

"This is really... really my Qilin son of the Yuan family!"

In Yecheng, after Yuan Shao received the military information sent by Han Hao and Liu Yan from Qiaojun, his hand holding the military information was trembling with excitement.

"Hahaha, God bless my Yuan family, Cao Aman thinks he has a plan, but he doesn't know that with my son sitting in the Central Plains, my Yuan family has no worries!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Come here, I want to enter the palace, meet the emperor, and show my merits for my son. How can General Zhengdong reward my son for his merits? Destroying the world's rebels and millions of soldiers and horses, there is such a thing. Great merit, not to mention the rank of General Wei, even the rank of General Chariot, they are all enough to reward my son for his merits!"

Yuan Shao is now the Duke of Yan. Although he is the prime minister, he is no longer in the court to deal with affairs on weekdays.

Instead, in his Duke Yan's mansion, he opened a separate palace, gathered his staff, and discussed matters for him, just like another small court.

Regarding Yuan Shao's actions, the little emperor was naturally full of grievances, but Yecheng was no different than Xuchang, the courtiers here were all from families in Hebei, and the little emperor who was close to the families in Guanzhong, naturally it was impossible to stand together.

If they really wanted to say it, they wished that Yuan Shao could quickly kill the little emperor, so that they could also logically rely on Conglong's achievements to surpass other big Han families that had always been on top of all the big Han families.

Become one of the richest families in the world.

However, Yuan Shao's ambition is not that great, or in other words, Yuan Shao's ambition is too great.

In his opinion, the banner of the Yuan family has not yet been planted in the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty. How can being called emperor at this time be worthy of the reputation of the Yuan family?

The Yuan family is the best family in the world.

If the Yuan family wants to be the emperor, then it will be a matter of course. After the world is leveled, and there is no second voice, then they will be emperors!
Therefore, Yuan Shao knew what his ministers thought, but he didn't care.

But the courtiers couldn't help but care about Yuan Shao's thoughts.

Especially at this moment, when they heard that Yuan Shao actually wanted to express his merits for Yuan Tan and make Yuan Tan a chariot general, the counselors in Yan Gongba's mansion could no longer sit still.

Each one of them hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "My lord, you must not do this!"

"My lord, Qihou is already extremely expensive. Now that he is awarded the title of chariot general, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Qihou to be paid again if he has meritorious service in the future!"

"My lord, you must know that the world has not yet been settled, there will be many wars to be fought in the future, and the princes from all directions are still not at peace. At this time, it is not appropriate to promote Qi Hou to a high position like a general of chariots and cavalry!"

The ministers all had extremely sincere expressions, and what they said was full of emotion and a sincere tone.

However, Yuan Shao was originally from a noble family, and after being influenced by his ears and eyes, he had long developed resistance to these rhetoric, unmoved, and waved his hand and said: "Masters, this is really harsh, my son has made such a feat, is it true that everything is worthless?" No award?"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao said again: "Furthermore, I just want to make my son a General of Chariots. You must know that above the General of Chariots, there is the position of General of Hussars, and above the General of Hussars, there is the title of Great General." , do you think that my son's talent can only reach the end of the chariot general?"

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, the ministers immediately looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but they couldn't think of any better words to persuade Yuan Shao.

After all, they jumped out to dissuade Yuan Shao at this time, not out of any public interest.

Instead, he simply felt that Yuan Tan's official position was promoted too quickly, and at this moment, he became the highest General Zhengdong among the four generals.

What are you kidding? This is.

Obviously we are the ones closest to Yuan Shao, okay?
If things go on like this, when Yuan Shao ascends to the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, who will be the greatest meritorious dragon?
There is only so much meat, if you eat more, I will eat less in the future.

What's more, what did Yuan Shao say?

On top of the generals of the Four Expeditions, there is also the leader of the middle army. After the leader of the middle army, there are generals such as General Wei, General Chariot, and General Hussar.

Your old man directly promoted Yuan Tan from General Zhengdong to General Chariot, jumping two ranks?

Do you think this is promoting a captain?Promote a captain?Are you constantly jumping two levels to upgrade?

That is to say, the world is in troubled times now, otherwise, even famous generals in the world, such as Huangfusong and Lu Zhi, will be the seats of generals of the four campaigns until they die.

Only after death will he be given the posthumous titles of Zhonglingjun and General Wei.

Otherwise, at Yuan Tan's age, not to mention being a General Zhengdong, even being a General Pingdong would be a bit too much.

However, these courtiers certainly don't have the guts to say what is in their hearts.

Looking at the expressions of the ministers below, Yuan Shao also guessed a little bit of their thoughts in his heart, and what he said before about the chariot general seemed to be a bit too much.

At that moment, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, I will make my son General Wei, let him control the four states of the Central Plains, and wait for the opportunity to put down the Cao thieves!"
