Section 221: Li Dao asks for office

Cao Cao's recruitment in Chenliu was in full swing, and it was like a fuse, igniting the uneasiness hidden in the depths of the Han Dynasty.

In 190 AD, in July of the first year of Guangxi, Li, Guo Yan and others raised 100,000 Xiliang troops, captured Chang'an in the name of suppressing chaos, and captured Chang'an. After garrisoning Chang'an, Li sent an envoy to meet Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, and his words were quite meaningful.

Although it was an audience with Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, it was actually the person in power who made the decision, Guan Yan, the hussar general of the court.

"See the hussar general!"

In the study, the messenger was bowing to Guan Yan.

Guan Yan stretched out his hand and said, "Messenger, please get up!" ”

"General Xie Hussar!"

This envoy has the ruggedness unique to the Xiliang people, and in comparison, those shrewd eyes seem a little out of place.

The envoy first introduced himself: "Hussar General, the villain is the master of General Li's account, on the order of my lord, I have come to meet the Hussar General, a little courtesy, please smile!" ”

After speaking, the envoy tapped his palms, and the two attendants outside the door carried a large wooden box into the study.

"General, please look!"

The messenger slowly opened the wooden box, and the antique study was suddenly filled with jewels.

The envoy smiled and said to Guan Yan: "General, the lord sent the villain to present a box of gold and jade to express his heart!" ”

Guan Yan's heart was indeed shocked, although Guan Yan's hands have always been relatively loose, and Guan Yan also gave gifts at the beginning, and he has seen a lot of money, but he has indeed never seen such a large box of gold and silver treasures.

"Hmm~~~ this ......"

Since Li gave this heavy gift, he must have something to ask for, and in order to find out Li's purpose, Guan Yan could only pretend to be very happy and said: "General Li is too polite!" Haha~~~~"

Guan Yan stepped forward, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed an agate bracelet "greedily": "General Li, what do you mean by this?" ”

When the envoy saw Guan Yan's expression, he relieved himself and said loudly: "My lord has long admired the general's name, and he was helped by the general's words before, so the lord can be pardoned by the court. It's just that since Dong Zhuo's death, the Northwest Land has been confused, although the lord has done his best, but after all, the name is not right, and he really has more than enough heart but not enough strength......"

After the envoy finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Guan Yan's face, the meaning of this couldn't be clearer, Li was asking for an official!

Dong Zhuo was born in the northwest, and most of his generals are from the northwest. Li, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou are the core figures of the Northwest faction.

After Dong Zhuo's death, these four people were pardoned by the imperial court and driven back to the northwest. But it didn't take long for these four people to use their connections in Xiliang to re-raise an army of 100,000 people!

But in this day and age, what is the importance of righteousness? In the 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, in the eyes of all the people and most officials, the power of the four words "Han orthodoxy" is very powerful.

Therefore, there is the deeds of Cao Cao "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes". Cao Cao did this in order to gain the political initiative and fight in all directions with the order of the Son of Heaven. No matter what you do, it is in the name of Emperor Han, which is what you call "the teacher is famous".

Li's purpose is also to gain political initiative in Xiliang, so that he is the veritable overlord of Xiliang!

This purpose Guan Yan understood after thinking about it for a while. To seal, or not to seal? If it is sealed, it will be a problem to raise a tiger, and it will be a big disaster for Guan Yan in the future. But if it is not sealed, Li will inevitably aim at Luoyang! This is the last thing Guan Yan wants to see at the moment!

After weighing the pros and cons, Guan Yan made up his mind.

"That's what General Ben wants! After the death of the Dong thief, Xiliang was in turmoil; General Li and the other three generals have all worked hard and made great achievements, and our emperor is very pleased! ”

It doesn't matter if the emperor is pleased or not, as long as you Guan Yan is pleased.

When the envoy heard this, he hurriedly catered to him: "This is the responsibility of my lord, as long as the emperor is satisfied and the general is satisfied, the villain will rest assured!" ”

Guan Yan smiled, and it was time to get down to business: "I want to ask Your Majesty tomorrow to promote Li as the general of Zhenxi and lead the history of Liangzhou Thorn, how about it?" ”

The messenger was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Hussar General for your kindness!" ”

Guan Yan nodded, walked back to his seat and picked up the teacup, the messenger understood, and slowly withdrew from the study with a fist.

In addition to Li, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou also had their seals, and when the envoy returned to Xiliang, he sent someone to send a box of gold and silver to thank him again.
