The imperial court had actually appointed Meng Dan as a high-level guard of the Qiang. This edict shocked Meng Dan because a high-level guard of the Qiang was too important!
He was fully in charge of Xixi's secret service operations. He acted first and reported later. The imperial power granted special permission!
As for the title of Marquis Liang that everyone dreamed of, Meng Dan felt that it was nothing much. Compared to the high-level guards of the Qiang, it was far inferior!
Marquis Liang was just an honor, and it was the lowest rank of Marquis Ting. It was just an empty title, so it was nothing much!
Although it could be hereditary, the Jin Kingdom would not be able to play with it anymore. Was the title of the Jin Kingdom still important?
What Meng Dan valued the most was the military power in his hands!
A high-level Qiang guardian!
As for the Anding prefect, that was interesting!
The prefect of Jin was not just a civil official. In fact, there were more generals who served as prefects. Meng Dan knew that in the following years, there would be endless internal strife in Jin!
The authority of the imperial court had been greatly reduced, and the true strength was the various prefects and prefecture overseers! And Anding Prefecture was the place where the battle at Bluestone Shore had taken place!
It was close to Beidi County, and the fact that the imperial court had given Meng Dan the position of prefect of Anding was a little hard to figure out!
The reward was too generous!
Therefore, Meng Dan was eager to know what was going on with the imperial court from this little yellow clan!
After receiving Meng Dan's gift, the Little Yellow Sect naturally had to work diligently. They immediately said,"Lord Marquis has made a great contribution. If His Majesty wants to reward all the ministers, there is naturally nothing to say!”
"Your promotion as a high-level guard was suggested by Lord Sikong Yuan Feng, but Lord Zhang Wen felt that it was too light, so he requested that you be granted the title of Marquis Liang's Anding prefect!”
"In the end, His Majesty said that with such a huge rebellion in Liangzhou, the original Qiang Guard Lieutenant had really disappointed him!”
" Therefore, I've directly conferred you the title of a high-level guard of the Qiang. I hope that you can suppress the barbarians and expand the territory for the Jin Country like this time."
Hearing Huang Liang's words, Meng Dan's cold face sank into deep thought. All the officials in the imperial court, including the emperor Liu Hong, had experienced a lot of scheming!
All the forces were involved in this. As the emperor, Liu Hong undoubtedly hoped that Meng Dan would help him expand his territory!
Meng Dan could understand that Sikong Yuanfeng was doing him a favor, but what about Grand Commandant Zhang Wen?
The relationship between Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, and Huangfu Song was extremely strained!
Thinking of Dong Zhuo, Meng Dan directly said,"What is the imperial court's reward for the former high-ranking guard this time?”
"Ex-senior guard?" Huang Liang said without hesitation. Then the reward would be even more generous. He would be conferred the title of county marquis and be appointed as the governor of the prefecture! The imperial edict should have arrived yesterday! This was the second Prefecture Overseer of Jin!”
Not long ago, Liu Yan, a relative of the Jin Dynasty, reported to the court that the world was in chaos because of the unclear management of local officials and the lack of control over the prefectures and counties. He requested to restore the state shepherd system and asked to be the shepherd of Yizhou!
The Prefecture Overseer System could be said to be one of the most important reasons for the chaotic times at the end of Jin Dynasty. Its power was much greater than that of the provincial governor!
He was in charge of the upper echelons of a state, and it could be said that he had already become a feudal lord!
Liu Yan, this old brat, had ill intentions and had already run to Yi Prefecture. And Dong Zhuo's Prefecture Overseer, this Bing Prefecture Overseer, was the second Prefecture Overseer in the world!
Power was extremely important, but Mondain saw something different from it!
"Someone wants to mess with Dong Zhuo! He waved his hand and let Huang Liang leave!
He already knew the reason!
No wonder Meng Dan was so heavily rewarded this time. He wanted to transfer Meng Dan away from Dong Zhuo's hands!
Meng Dan was undoubtedly a valiant general, and could even become a famous marshal! It was an extremely important force under Dong Zhuo!
Meng Dan was the main reason why the Xixi Army could have such a battle record. From Chencang to Gaoping, and then to the north, it was Meng Dan who led the Xixi Cavalry to charge over!
If someone wanted to mess with Dong Zhuo, they naturally had to get rid of Meng Dan first. This time, Meng Dan had made a great contribution, so it was impossible to suppress him!
Someone had played a trick to replace Meng Dan with Dong Zhuo. He had promoted Meng Dan in the open, but in reality, he was pointing his sword at Dong Zhuo!
As for who did it, Meng Dan didn't need to think to know that it was definitely the faction represented by Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen!
The conflict between them and Dong Zhuo had long been very intense!
Therefore, letting Meng Dan be the prefect of Anding was to let Meng Dan stay in Xixi and transfer Dong Zhuo away!
However, he did not expect Liu Hong to think too highly of Meng Dan. Not only did he give Meng Dan the position of Anding Prefecture Chief, but he also gave him the position of a high-level guard!
Now that he had the authority to command the entire western border army, Zhang Wen must have felt bad!
In order to mess with Dong Zhuo, he gave Meng Dan a high-level guard to protect the Qiang. The price was too great!
However, the emperor's edict definitely could not be changed!
As for Dong Zhuo, he had obtained the position of Bing Province's Overseer and had the authority of a high-ranking official in Bing Province. It seemed like he had picked up a huge bargain!
However, Meng Dan was certain that the matter was not so simple. He just had to wait for Dong Zhuo to leave Xixi. On his way to Bing Province, he would definitely receive a second imperial edict!
He would let him gradually hand over the military power of the Xixi Army. Xixi was Dong Zhuo's hometown, so it would not be good for Huangfu Song to make a move. Otherwise, he would cause turmoil in the Xixi Army if he was not careful!
However, as long as Dong Zhuo managed to get Xixi out, he would be restricted in terms of military rations and supplies, and would not dare to act arrogantly!
Mondain's 10,000-strong army remained in Xixi! Once the last twenty thousand Xixi soldiers were gone, Dong Zhuo would truly become a lone star commander! Even if he went to Bingzhou, he would only be at the mercy of others!
He was merged into the state governor! This was a poison smeared with honey!
"Meng Hu, personally send this thing to the former high-level guard's army and ask him to pass it to Xue 'er!" Meng Dan said calmly!
It was a huge piece of glass that had been polished into a smooth mirror. One could clearly see their own appearance!
It was much clearer than the bronze mirror he was using now. It was obtained from the tribe of Prince Xian of the Left!
It was said that it was an item from the Western Regions, but it was obtained by Xiu Tushe by chance. It was an extremely precious treasure that was indeed difficult to find in the world!
Women would definitely like it more. Meng Dan had given it to his fiancée, Dong Xue 'er, this time, although he had the intention of doting on it!
However, the most important thing was to tell Dong Zhuo that his engagement with Dong Xue 'er would not change. It would be carried out as scheduled, so that he could rest assured!
Even though the others had already made their move to deal with him, Meng Dan knew that how could Dong Zhuo be so easy to deal with?
Otherwise, there wouldn't be Demon King Dong who would later disrupt the court!
Meng Dan would not abandon Dong Zhuo just because he was in trouble, because Dong Zhuo represented the interests of the entire Xixi Secret Service Group!
At this moment, the Xixi Secret Service Group had already taken shape! It was rapidly expanding!
