Chapter 722: Chang'an Chaos (II)
Chapter 722: Chang'an Chaos (II)
Chang'an, the General's Mansion.
He Jin, a stupid B, although he has done a series of stupid things, he himself doesn't think so.
Dong Zhuo occupies more than 300,000 troops in the two states, and surrounds Guanzhong from three directions, isn't he still blocked from the pass?
What if the Qin family occupies a state and has more than 200,000 soldiers? He can't enter Beijing without nodding.
He Jin thinks that these are all his credits, and he even thinks that he can block the first and second princes of the Han Dynasty with his own strength, so at this time he is extremely proud in his heart.
However, He Jin's pride is destined to not last long, because he will soon wake up from his dream.
"Report ...... General Qiyu, Dong Zhuo responded to the call of the Empress Dowager Dong, under the banner of following the edict of the first emperor on the side of the Qing monarch, and personally led 100,000 troops from Liangzhou to kill. ”
"What?"
He Jin stood up in shock, he thought that under the coercion of the princes from all walks of life, Dong Zhuo should not dare to start a war lightly, but who knew that he still fought in the end.
"Dong Zhuo, how dare he?" He Jin shouted angrily and frightenedly, from beginning to end, I am afraid that he was the only one who thought that Dong Zhuo did not dare to enter.
Wang Yun and other ministers were also extremely speechless when they saw this, Dong Zhuo could connect his territory as long as he took Guanzhong, not to mention that now Dong Zhuo is also famous under the banner of the Queen Mother, so how could he give up the army because of Qin Wen and other princes?
It's not that the ministers of the DPRK and China have not persuaded He Jin, but the key is that He Jin can't listen to him at all, and he doesn't know where his self-confidence comes from.
"This dead old woman should have ...... in the first place"
He Jin gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were full of killing intent, but that sentence was still not said after all.
"General, it is imperative to send troops to resist as soon as possible, otherwise Dong Zhuo's army will really reach Chang'an." Wang Yun said with a serious face.
He Jin seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ordered: "Yes, yes, yes, send an order to Hou Yi, lead 40,000 troops to defend to the death, and be sure to block Dong Zhuo for me." ”
Although Dong Zhuo's troops in Sizhou and Hanzhong were dragged by the princes, the imperial court also had to allocate a part of its forces to guard against these two directions, and He Jin was also increasing the garrison of Wuguan, so the extra troops of the imperial court were actually not much.
As soon as Hou Yi's 40,000 army came out, there were only 40,000 defenders left in Chang'an, and once Hou Yi was defeated, then He Jin's only hope was Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song.
Dong Zhuo has made sufficient preparations for entering Beijing this time, not only 30,000 cavalry in the 100,000 Liangzhou army, but also transferred back Yuwen Chengdu Wu Yunzhao and other fierce generals, plus Li Yuanba, the righteous son who has been guarding by his side, and now the lineup under Dong Zhuo's command can be described as extremely luxurious, and no prince can resist it except Qin Hao.
Hou Yi is now the only good general in Chang'an, and He Jin has no one available except Hou Yi, and Hou Yi has indeed lived up to He Jin's expectations.
Hou Yi knew that he was not Li Yuanba's opponent of Yuwencheng-Du, but relying on one-handed archery skills also made it impossible for Li Yuanba and Yuwencheng to personally participate in the siege of the city, and then relied on the geographical advantage to block Dong Zhuo's 100,000-strong army for a while.
"Hmph, this Hou Yi is so ignorant of what to do, and he has ignored the kindness of the miscellaneous family three times and twice......"
Dong Zhuo cursed angrily, it's not that he can't take Hou Yi, it's just that he doesn't want the soldiers to sacrifice needlessly, after all, the total population of Liangzhou is not as good as that of the Central Plains.
In Dong Zhuo's opinion, it is more than enough to deal with a mere He Jin, and an army of 100,000 is more than enough, not to mention that he still has a backhand in Chang'an, so there is no need to make too much sacrifice in Houyi.
"The lord doesn't have to be angry with Hou Yi, after the lord is the back hand of Chang'an, let alone Hou Yi, even he He Jin is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump for long." Lu Buwei said with a sneer.
Jia Xu and Li Ru both looked at Lu Buwei with solemn faces, knowing that this young man was a member of the miscellaneous family, and he was also the chief planner of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes'.
At the same time, they also knew that Dong Zhuo was also a member of the miscellaneous family, after all, now Dong Zhuo has even claimed to have become a 'miscellaneous family', and he has not covered it up.
Dong Zhuo did not choose to attack, which made He Jin of Chang'an breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it was dragged until Dingyuan in Jingzhou and Huangfu Song in Jizhou arrived, he would win the battle.
But what He Jin didn't expect was that such a situation was ruined by the death of a person.
"Report ...... General Qiyu, Empress Dowager Dong...... She ......"
"What's wrong with the old woman?" He Jin asked impatiently.
He Jin was annoyed by the Empress Dowager Dong, but there was no way to do it, so he simply imprisoned her, out of sight and out of mind.
"Empress Dowager Dong was assassinated."
"What? The Queen Mother is in the harem, who can have this ability? ”
He Jin's brows furrowed, but there was a faint bad premonition in his heart.
"Has the murderer been found? Who sent the man? ”
"Not yet, but the outside world is now rumoring that it was the general who assassinated the Empress Dowager Dong."
He Jin couldn't help but gasp, he finally knew the other party's sinister intentions, this was to force the guilt of assassinating the Queen Mother on his head, so that Chang'an would mess up himself.
What safer place could be than the Royal Palace? But Empress Dowager Dong was in the harem but still died of assassination, which seems to have no second explanation except for the operation of people inside, and the most suspicious is naturally only He Jin.
"Dong Zhuopifu, you are so ruthless." He Jin gritted his teeth.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo's camp is a different scene.
"Hahaha, He Jin, he must be scolding the miscellaneous family at this time." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
"But even if he scolds, it won't change anything, and now He Jin just jumps into the Yellow River and can't wash it away." Lu Buwei smiled lightly.
Jia Xu on the side, only felt goosebumps on his arms, and said that he was a 'poisoner', but this young man was not inferior to himself at all, and even the Queen Mother dared to assassinate in order to achieve his goal, which was really too bold.
"Lord, He Jin is just a talented and virtuous Puffle, at this time he should be on the verge of collapse, as long as the lord is adding strength, his subordinates guarantee that He Jin will definitely surrender without a fight." Lu Buwei said confidently.
Jia Xu felt a pang in his heart, and after a little contemplation, he probably guessed Lu Buwei's intentions, this was to force He Jin to surrender, and with He Jin's character of wanting to escape when he encountered difficulties, the possibility of success was indeed very high.
Today's Chang'an, because of the death of the Empress Dowager Dong, can be described as a mess.
The courtiers were divided into two factions, one side accusing He Jin, and the other defending He Jin.
Of course, He Jin didn't want to be blackened by this cauldron, but no matter how he explained, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply didn't explain.
