In April, Dong Zhuo was murdered to death by Situ Wang Yun and his subordinate general Lu Bu and others.

With the death of Dong Zhuo and his family, most of the men and horses of the Xiliang Army were mainly led by Zhonglang General Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, and Niu Fu.

Wang Yun pardoned Dong Zhuo's former subordinates Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others; But for Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, Wang Yun issued an edict to kill him.

Wang Yun's subordinate Li Su, a native of Bingzhou, led an army of 10,000 to fight Niu Fu in Shaanxi, but Niu Fu could not resist and was defeated.

Li Su defeated Niu Fu, rejoiced in his heart, and ordered the whole army to drink and celebrate.

Who knew that in the second half of the night, Niu Fu led the Xiliang army to rob the camp and defeated Li Su's army, and Li Su led the army to flee to Hongnong County.

Li Su, as a native of Bingzhou, was originally a general of Lu Bu, and was favored by Wang Yun for his meritorious service in killing Dong Zhuo, and worshiped as the general of the thief.

Since Li Su became the general of the thief, he looked down on his original boss Lu Bu, and worked with Lu Bu on weekdays, and there were many words that contradicted Lu Bu.

After Li Su was defeated and retreated, Wang Yun sent Lü Bu as the main general to fight Niu Fu.

When Lu Bu arrived in Hongnong County, the first thing he did was to behead Li Su, who was a 'villain'.

Then Lü Bucai led his 30,000 men and horses to Shaanxi and fought with Niu Fu.

At this time, Niu Fu's right-hand lieutenants Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were fighting with Zhu Jun in Zhongmu County.

After defeating Zhu Jun, he led the army into Chenliu County and Yingchuan County and other places to forcibly plunder, and had no time to return to the army to rescue Niu Fu, so Niu Fu was killed by Lu Bu and was defeated.

That night, Niu Fu was determined to not win the battle with Lu Bu, so he packed up the gold, silver and jewelry, and wanted to abandon the army and flee at night, Niu Fu's retinue Hu Chi'er wanted to seek the gold and silver jewelry that Niu Fu carried with him when he fled, so he killed Niu Fu and sacrificed his head to Lu Bu.

When Li Dao, Guo Yan and others returned, the main general Niu Fu was dead and had nothing to rely on.

The troops could only be stationed in Shaanxi, waiting for orders from the imperial court.

......

Early in the morning of one day in May, in Chang'an City, Chaoyang Palace.

Liu Xie, the twelve-year-old Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, sat on the top seat, and the important ministers all stood on both sides, the first person standing on the left was Situ Wang Yun, and the first person standing on the right was Taiwei Zhao Qian.

Liu Xie originally thought that Situ Wang Yun drove away Dong Zhuo, and after he worshiped Wang Yun as his servant, he could regain imperial power.

But he never thought that this was completely Liu Xie's wishful thinking.

Wang Yun dominates the dynasty, but he is just another "Dong Zhuo", and Liu Xie has just changed from a puppet in Dong Zhuo's hands to a puppet in Wang Yun's hands.

As soon as he went to the court, Yang Biao, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, was ready, and after the ministers stood still, Yang Biao came out of the ranks and said to the emperor:

"Dong Zhuo's entire clan has been wiped out, Dong Zhuo's remaining Niu Fu has died, and only his subordinate lieutenants Li Dao, Guo Yan and others led the army to garrison in Shaanxi.

I think these people are not guilty, they just follow Dong Zhuo and can't help themselves.

I had no choice but to obey Dong Zhuo's dispatch and made a mistake.

But he pardoned this group of people, and sent someone to lead Dong Zhuo's old department to pacify them.

I think that Huangfu Song, the general of Zhengxi, has a lot of prestige in Xiliang and can take on this important responsibility. ”

Liu Xiegang was ready to say in a decisive tone: "Quasi-play!" ”

But he didn't want Sikong Yang Biao's words to be finished, Situ Wang Yun came out and said loudly: "I don't agree." ”

Liu Xie had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and said to Wang Yun, "What does Lord Situ think?" ”

Wang Yun said with an arrogant face: "This group of people has done a lot of evil, and if you don't kill them, it's not enough to make people angry." ”

Wang Yun, as the primary contributor to the killing of Dong Zhuo, is naturally indispensable to the praise of the imperial court and the praise of the people.

In this case, Wang Yun gradually became fluttering, and he had this arrogant attitude towards anyone and everything, of course, including the emperor.

Sikong Yang Biao didn't like Wang Yun's tone, and said angrily to Wang Yun:

"Does Master Situ know what he's talking about? There are 120,000 people in the hands of this group of people, and if they follow the orders of Lord Situ, there will be no peace in Chang'an. ”

Wang Yun still looked arrogant, and said: "Even an invincible traitor like Dong Zhuo died in my hands, what else can I be afraid of?" ”

Wang Yun paused for a moment, and said contemptuously to Yang Biao: "When Dong Zhuo was here a few months ago, Lord Sikong Yang didn't have so many questions? Do you want to prove something? Or do you want to express something? ”

Sikong Yang Biao listened to Wang Yun's words, and said angrily to Wang Yun: "Please think about it carefully, Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's old department is Dong Zhuo's old department, how can it be compared?" ”

Wang Yun replied disdainfully: "Then cut the military power of the generals of the Liangzhou soldiers, and ban all the Liangzhou soldiers, and let the Kwantung soldiers lead them." ”

Yang Biao listened to Wang Yun's words and said, "Since Lord Situ thinks this matter is so insignificant, then I have nothing to say. Let's listen to His Majesty the Emperor's intentions and make decisions, right? ”

Wang Yun looked up to the sky and laughed: "So many of our ministers are here, but we have to listen to the orders of a teenage child, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Let's listen to the ministers. ”

After Yang Biao heard Wang Yun's words, he was furious in his heart, and scolded Wang Yun loudly: "There is nothing in your eyes, do you still have the Son of Heaven in your eyes?" ”

Wang Yun said arrogantly: "Hmph! Lord Yang is such a big official position, two months ago, when Dong Zhuo was in power, if Lord Yang spoke like this, he would be famous all over the world.

It's a pity that he doesn't do anything about it. Lord Yang, if I were you, I would return to my hometown now, so as not to ruin the wisdom of your father, Lord Yang Ci. ”

Before Yang Biao could speak, he saw Wang Yunzhong's minions led by Taiwei Zhao Qian and said: "I think Lord Sikong is stupid and unsuitable to continue to serve as Sikong, so let's return to my hometown and save my last honor." ”

Yang Biao looked at the courtiers' obedience to Wang Yun's orders, and then looked at Emperor Han Xian, who was only twelve years old at the top, and could only say helplessly: "Your Majesty, Yang Biao is not talented, occupies a vacant position but is unable to act, ask for resignation, and return to his hometown." ”

Wang Yun saw that Yang Biao had to return to his hometown due to the pressure of the ministers, and he was secretly happy in his heart: "Fight with me, are you worthy?" ”

But he said: "Your Majesty, I think Zhao Wen can take the position of Sikong." ”

When the courtiers heard Wang Yun's words, they knelt down one after another and said, "The ministers agree with what Wang Situ said. ”

Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting at the top, suddenly understood:

In the current court, Wang Yun is more like an emperor than himself, as long as Wang Yun agrees to anything, it can be carried out; What Wang Yun disagrees with, no one can do.

With tears in his eyes, he said to Yang Biao, the only minister who was loyal to him: "I am ready to play!" ”

After Liu Xie finished speaking, Yang Biao walked out of the gate of Chaoyang Palace in despair, and shouted: "The traitor is in charge, and he has no power to return to the sky!" Your Majesty, the minister did his best. ”

......

A day later, Wang Yun's words in the court reached the Xiliang army.

Li Dao summoned all the generals in the army and said, "I heard the news that the imperial court wants to cut our military power, disband our soldiers, and let the Kwantung soldiers lead us.

I think there are many people in the court, and there is plenty of food and grass, we can't resist, so it is better for us to divide the gold we have robbed and go home." ”

Everyone listened to Li Dao's words, and they were sad but agreed with Li Dao's words.

At this time, Jia Xu, the captain of Li Dao's army, stood up and said to Li Dao:

"I also heard that there are people in Chang'an who plan to exterminate our Liangzhou people.

If this order is given, the world is so big, but there is no place for us.

If you abandon the army and go alone, a small pavilion chief will be able to catch you, and our lives will be in the hands of others.

It is better for us to lead the army westward and attack Chang'an under the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo.

If it succeeds, we will hold the Son of Heaven hostage and command the world; If it doesn't work out, it's never too late for us to go! ”

Li Wei felt that what Jia Xu said made sense, so he preached in the army:

"The court does not forgive our sins and wants to exterminate us, and we can only survive if we resist desperately.

If we can conquer Chang'an, we can get the world; If we can't capture Chang'an, then we will rob the women and property in the Sanfu region, return to Xiliang, and move away from our hometown, who will find us? ”

When the officers and men in the army heard Li Dao's words, their fighting spirit was high.

One is because I am fighting for my own life, and if I don't fight hard, I will die;

The second is because you can rob property again. And the general is right, we robbed the property, returned to Xiliang, and moved away from our hometown, who can find us?

As a result, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others formed an alliance, each leading their own armies of several thousand people, and attacked Chang'an day and night.

After Wang Yun heard the news of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others raising troops, he sent Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Hu Zhen and Xu Rong who returned to the Shun Imperial Court to meet Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in Xinfeng County.

As a result, Xu Rong was killed in battle, and Hu Zhen led his troops to surrender.

While attacking the county seat, Li Dao and others collected the Xiliang army scattered everywhere.

When they arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, there were more than 100,000 people in the hands of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.
