Take the department store back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 72
the next day.

The imperial army outside Meiwu has already begun to assemble.

In front of each city gate, there are five thousand soldiers and horses.

But in Meiwu, Yuan Tan's followers were less than a thousand.

……

Yuan Tan tremblingly walked out of the warehouse.

After moving gold all night, even though there is a loading and unloading machine, it is still exhausting.

However, more than 25 taels of gold reserves were obtained.

So although the body is exhausted, the spirit is very uplifting.

"Eldest son, Hussar General Wang Yun has sent you an order to go out of the city to his barracks to discuss matters."

Zhang Liao sent a letter of order with a rather worried expression. In his opinion, it must be that after the killing of the national traitors, all the officials in the court scrambled for power and squeezed out Yuan Tan. Everything that happened can prove it.

Yuan Tan washed his face, yawned, and looked at the order, obviously there was still a tough battle waiting for him.

After half an hour.

outside the city.

It's late autumn now, winter is coming soon, and it's very cold in the morning.

But in the big tent of the imperial army, there are more than a dozen braziers, which are as warm as spring.

All the officials were wearing luxurious cotton robes and discussing.

There was only one agenda, and that was to send Yuan Tan away as soon as possible and return to the Yuan family's Bohai County.

Wang Yun and the others were afraid that Yuan Tan would attract Yuan Shao if he stayed here.

In addition, Yuan Tan killed the national traitor with his own hands. He is the person who made the most meritorious service this time, and the entire Yuan family will receive a very high reward.

If no rewards are given, those officials who have made less meritorious deeds than him have no chance of being rewarded, which is not in the interests of the officials.

But if it is a reward, the power of the court will definitely be taken by Yuan Tan's father, Yuan Shao.

It is another generation of powerful ministers, which is not in the interests of the officials.

The only thing that is in the interests of all officials is to kick the Yuan family out of the court and prevent anyone from the Yuan family from entering the court.

"The eldest son of the Yuan family is here..."

With a sing, all the officials stood up.

"Eldest son."

"Eldest son."

As Yuan Tan walked in, they saluted one after another.

Yuan Tan returned the gifts one by one.

Wang Yun signaled: "Young Master, please take a seat."

Yuan Tan took the seat as the head of the tent, and then all the officials took their seats one by one.

Dian Wei and Zhang Liao stood behind Yuan Tan.

Wang Yun sat alone on the big seat in the tent, and when he saw that he was seated, he said: "The eldest son has made great contributions to the country by killing the country's thieves, and the person with the first merit..."

Here come the sugar-coated cannonballs.

Yuan Tan said solemnly: "Your Excellency Situ has won the award, and being able to kill Dong Zhuo is the result of the concerted efforts of all the ministers."

"Eldest Young Master understands righteousness...." Wang Yun nodded affirmatively, and said: "Yesterday, this old man was elected by hundreds of officials. His Majesty's kindness, he served as the General of Hussars. He holds the festival..."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite small box, opened it, and took out the 'Jie Yue', and then said: "Does the eldest son know about this thing?"

Dian Wei's eyes widened, not recognizing him.Zhang Liao gasped.

Yuan Tan remained calm, it seemed that the officials couldn't find the jade seal, so they found another excuse in circles, "I, the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family, how can I not know this thing?"

"Jieyue" is the combined name of talisman festival and axe. It is an item similar to a soldier's talisman. The shape of an axe is equivalent to a Shangfang sword.

All envoys who hold festivals represent the presence of the emperor, symbolize the emperor and the country, and can exercise corresponding powers.In the state of war, you don't need to ask the emperor to directly kill anyone who violates the military order.

Baiguan heard the words, showing a faint smile.I thought it would be good for him to know, if he was disobedient again, he would be killed directly.

At this time, Wang Yun said solemnly: "Nowadays, the court is in disrepair, and the eldest son should have been kept in the court. However, the eldest son has been away from home for a long time, and Yuan Gong must miss you. In order to let you fulfill your filial piety, His Majesty specially asked you to return to Nanpi first. Good news..., the decree of the reward will arrive soon."

"What do you think, Eldest Young Master?" Wang Yun asked while touching his Jieyue.

Baiguan's expression became gloomy, putting pressure on them.

Yuan Tan was like a mirror in his heart, "Okay, since that's the case, I will take my leave."

"???" Baiguan.

so happy?

Stop doing things?
In fact, all the officials are ready to fight Yuan Tan. The imperial court has [-] troops, but Yuan Tan has less than [-] troops.

Although Yuan Tan cannot be killed because of this, the process must be very difficult, but he is full of confidence in this fight.

Unexpectedly, it was over.

It was as if a heavy punch had been punched in an empty place, and everyone was uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Wang Yun looked at him with admiration. He could afford it and let it go. This eldest son is really not an ordinary person.

Baiguan sent Yuan Tan out of the account.

Looking at the back of the Yuan family, Wang Yun said to himself: "The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, after Yuan Shao, I thought the three sons of the Yuan family were all incompetent..."

This Yuan family is stronger from generation to generation. For more than a hundred years, it has been oppressing all the officials.I thought Yuan Shao would be cold in the future, but I didn't expect that in just one year, this eldest son who had never been favored by anyone would get up like a monkey.

……

Yuan Tan returned to Meiwu, "Pass my order, the whole army is ready to go far away, leave here and return to Nanpi."

Zhang Liao couldn't help but said at this moment: "My lord, what a great achievement you have made in killing the country's traitors. You must become an important minister of the court. It is time to take the opportunity to achieve great achievements. Why do you want to leave?"

Yuan Tan smiled, "Wen Yuan, things are not that simple. We were able to defeat the Xiliang Army because Dong Zhuo's sudden death made the Xiliang Army confused. Later, when the Xiliang Army calms down, it will definitely backfire. When Guo Si Lijue and the others returned with a vengeful army of more than [-], and the imperial army could not resist at all."

From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of staying in Chang'an for a long time, so let Wang Situ go happily alone.

He added: "Even if the Xiliang army doesn't fight back, with [-] troops in the hands of hundreds of officials, we will be restricted everywhere here, and it will be difficult for us to do anything."

Zhang Liao suddenly realized when he heard the words, and said in admiration, "It's still the eldest son who is far-sighted."

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said: "Then go pass the order, bring as much food as you can, don't save for the court. Tell everyone, after returning home, rewards will be based on merit."

a while.

The sergeants in Meiwu were harnessing carriages and carrying boxes, all of them happily.

Two hours later.

The east gate of Meiwu.

While all the officials were waiting anxiously, the city gate finally opened.

Yuan Tan rode his horse and came in front of the officials.

Immediately afterwards, when his convoy left the city one after another, no matter whether it was a hundred officials or the [-] troops of the imperial court, they were all stunned.

There are dozens of large wooden boxes on each carriage. I have never seen such a full-bodied convoy.

All the officials immediately exploded their lungs.

Yuan Tan will coerce money and food, and the officials have already taken this into consideration.

But I never considered that so much money and food would be wrapped up.

A horse-drawn carriage is not enough, but there are still three horse-drawn carriages. Isn't this a bit shameless?

It is unbearable to use oxen to pull the horses when they run out.

There is even a carriage pulled by only one person, and it is almost about to be pulled over.

I've seen shameless, never seen such shameless.

"It's outrageous!" Wang Yun was angry, "My lord, here are all the money and grain embezzled by Dong Zhuo, which belong to the imperial court!"

"Come on, surround Yuan Tan's convoy!" Ma Rixun waved his walking stick.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court were already red-eyed at this moment. The supplies were too much, ten times more than the rewards they all received combined, and they couldn't bear it at all.

As the wolf dust billowed, they surrounded Yuan Tan's followers.
