The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 77 Become a Marquis
Yang Biao watched Wang Yun commit suicide and felt sad in his heart.

This was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who just disappeared from the court. Looking at Liu Xie's appearance, he suddenly felt worthless for Wang Yun. Although Wang Yun has many shortcomings, one thing is worthy of recognition.

He killed Dong Zhuo and was a hero of the Han Dynasty.

Now such a hero will not die well, and it may be the same for him in the future.

Liu Xie watched Wang Yun commit suicide, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said: "Wang Yun is dead, and the great revenge has been avenged. Can you withdraw your troops?"

"Your Majesty, we have eradicated the traitors and they are all meritorious officials. How can we not reward them?" Li Jue said loudly again.

"What reward do you want?" Liu Xie asked quickly.

With such an appearance, there is still the majesty of an emperor.

Thinking about how he passed the edict to kill Dong Zhuo and now recognizes Li Jue and others as the heroes, doesn't this mean that Dong Zhuo is the hero? This move trampled the emperor to the ground, and the majesty of the Han Dynasty was gone.

However, Yang Biao had no way to change.

Li Jue and others were very happy to hear this, and they all expressed the titles in their hearts.

Liu Xie immediately issued an edict, conferring Li Jue the title of Chariot General Chiyanghou Ling Sili Xiaowei Jiajie Yue; Guo Bin was made the rear general Meiyanghou Jiajie Yue, and he was also in charge of the government; Fan Chou was the right general Wannianhou, Zhang Ji is the hussar general Pingyanghou.

The remaining Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc. are each serving as school captains. Then he thanked him and led his troops out of the city. However, the soldiers and horses still occupied Chang'an City and controlled the court.

Yang Biao returned to the mansion, summoned his entourage, and said: "Go back to Hongnong and ask Dezu not to enter Chang'an recently. General Qin has just entered Hongnong and needs the help of my Yang family."

After finishing speaking, he sighed immediately.

He, Yang Biao, could be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but there was no need for his own son.

In troubled times, Yang Biao also had to think about the Yang family.

In the large tent outside the city, Li Jue and others were gathering together.

"Everyone, Qin Shou led the army and was stationed in Hongnong. It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. What should we do?" Li Jue looked around the crowd and asked.

They didn't take Lu Bu seriously. Lu Bu didn't have many troops. After being defeated, he went to join his fellow Zhang Yang, but Qin Shou, who was so close, had to be careful.

The opponent is truly the most powerful general in the world, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. If such soldiers and horses enter the pass, they will be a great threat to everyone.

"As long as he guards Hangu Pass, can Qin Shou still be able to enter the pass?" Zhang Ji sneered.

He was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Shou, so how could he let Qin Shou benefit?

Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other.

"General Hussar, Qin Shou and I are both disciples of the Grand Master. If Qin Shou hadn't been in Luoyang, we would have faced the attack of the heroes of Guandong at this time. We would not be where we are today." Li Jue shook his head.

Qin Shou was stationed in Hongnong and did not move westward. He was obviously waiting and watching. If there was no benefit, the opponent might immediately move westward and attack Hangu Pass.

Although it may not be possible to pass through Gu Pass, it will bring trouble to oneself after all.

In this case, why not win over one or two, maybe you can make the other party retreat. After all, your attention is still in the pass. The two of them were quite unwilling to offend a powerful general with tens of thousands of troops for no reason.

"Qin Shou's army is strictly disciplined and he fights bravely. Those people from Luoyang who moved to Guanzhong respect him as their savior and must not let him enter Guanzhong." Guo Bang's eyes flashed.

"Then make him General of the Guard, Marquis of Yangcheng, and Kaifu." Li Jue finally made a decision.

It is a very cost-effective thing to use these empty official positions and titles in exchange for Qin Shou's withdrawal. "Zhang Qiaoqi, I know you feel uncomfortable in your heart, but if the other party is dissatisfied and leads the army into Guanzhong, what should I do? The ministers in the court, in my heart, wish that I would die."

"If Qin Shou leads the army here, I believe those people will be very happy."

Guo Bang saw Zhang Jizhong's reluctance and quickly persuaded him.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, she is just a woman! Whoever you like, I will bring it to you immediately." Li Jue said nonchalantly.

"Hey! Just do what you two said! I have no objection." Zhang Ji finally accepted his fate.

Compared with glory and wealth, this thing about myself is really nothing. Isn’t she just a woman? As long as wealth is in hand, what kind of woman doesn't have it?

"Okay, let the emperor issue the edict." Li Jue suddenly said: "It is very convenient for the emperor to have it in his hands. He can seal whoever he wants. If it weren't for Xun You, we would have become losers at this time. Just a few of us. A martial artist can take our locks and take our lives."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.

After Liu Xie received Li Jue's request, he had no choice but to issue an order to confer Qin Shou as General Wei, Marquis of Yangcheng, and open a mansion. After Yang Biao got the news, he took the initiative to go to Hongnong to deliver the message.

Ten days later, Li Jue and Guo Si were preparing to bury Dong Zhuo with royal honors. Unexpectedly, divine thunder descended from the sky and chopped Dong Zhuo's coffin into pieces, and even the remains of his body were burned to pieces.

What made everyone even more depressed was that half a month later, it was reported that Ma Teng had raised 100,000 troops to attack Guanzhong in preparation for King Qin's rescue, which made everyone deeply feel that the canonization of Qin Shou was correct.

In Hongnong City, Yang Xiu came to see Qin Shou again.

Qin Shou asked Zou to retreat and invited Yang Xiu to sit down.

"Dezu came to see me, it must be something important! Otherwise, you would not have come to see me." Qin Shou said with a smile.

During this time, Yang Xiu was really embarrassed to come to see Qin Shou.

"What does the general think of Li Jue and Guo Si?" Yang Xiu suddenly asked.

"They are arrogant and arrogant, do not know their own abilities, they are just a bunch of incompetent people." Qin Shou said without thinking, "They will definitely not die well in the future."

"These people attack Chang'an City and offend the emperor. They will definitely be despised by everyone in the world." Yang Xiu said quickly.

"Dezu is talking about them, but he is actually talking about me too!" Qin Shou's eyes flashed.

"Of course not. How can those rebellious ministers and traitors be compared with the general?" Yang Xiu said quickly: "It's just that, general, Hongnong and Chang'an are too close."

"What do you mean?" Qin Shou's expression changed.

"Although the general has no intention of invading the emperor's palace, in the eyes of the world, the general's stationing troops to promote agriculture is actually protecting Li Jue, Guo Si and others. The world will also think that the general is equivalent to Li Jue, Guo Si and others." Yang Xiu advised.

Qin Shou thought for a while and then said: "What Dezu said is true. Fortunately, Dezu reminded me. Otherwise, I will be despised by everyone in the world."

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is what my father said. Xiu is just paraphrasing my father's words."

Yang Xiu quickly explained.

"Thank you sir for me."

Qin Shou took a deep look at Yang Xiu.
