When Han Zhan announced the end of the discussion, all the civil and military forces dispersed, but Guo Jia was still standing in place and did not move. Han Zhan guessed that the other party must have something important to say to himself, and when there were only two people left in the meeting hall, he opened his mouth and asked, "Fengxiao, do you have anything to say to Ben Hou?" ”

"Lord, it is certainly a good thing to welcome the Son of Heaven to Jizhou, but you shouldn't say it in public." Guo Jia frowned and said: "If the matter discussed today reaches the Jingshi, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have not raised troops to rebel, Wang Yun will definitely send Lu Bu to lead troops to crusade. There are Gongsun Zan in the north of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in the south. In the event of a war, there will be several defending enemies, and perhaps the situation will be out of control. ”

Figuring out what Guo Jia was worried about, Han Zhan's heart became steady. Don't see that Guo Jia is a famous strategist in history, but that was a few years later, and now Guo Jia is still a little immature in strategy, and he can't see some things as clearly as himself, a traverser.

It was based on this consideration that Han Zhan comforted Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao don't worry. According to Ben Hou's estimates, if it is fast in January or slow, it will be in March, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others will raise troops to rebel. At that time, Wang Yun will not be able to take care of himself, where will he have the energy to take care of us here. Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and then put on a compassionate look, adding, "When the capital is in chaos, I am afraid that the safety of the saints today will be difficult to guarantee, and we as courtiers must take precautions and prepare to rescue the Son of Heaven as soon as possible." ”

After Guo Jia heard Han Zhan's words, he really couldn't laugh or cry. He secretly said in his heart that the lord was probably stimulated by the separation from Zhaoji, and there were some magic obstacles. He knew that it would be useless to say anything more, so he said goodbye to Han Zhan and turned over and went back to his official residence.

Looking at the back of Guo Jia's departure, Han Zhan shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that these Wenchen generals under his command, so far, few of them believed that the Jingshi would soon be in chaos. They did not vigorously oppose their move to send Fu Zhi to Jingshi to save the Son of Heaven, because they did not think that there was any hope of success in this matter, so they disdained to argue with themselves.

Han Zhan turned around and walked towards his study, thinking in his heart that spring was about to begin, and the matter of seizing Qingzhou should also be put on the agenda. Only by mastering Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou can he have the strength to win the world.

…………

Almost at this moment, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, who had just fled back to Liangzhou, gathered together to discuss matters. They had just received the bad news that the messenger they had sent to Jingshi to intercede with Wang Yun had been killed by Lu Bu, and the head of the envoy had been handed over to the servants to bring back.

Li Wei sat in the middle of the council room, his eyes swept over several of his colleagues one by one, and said disheartenedly: "Situ Wang Yun is unwilling to pardon our capital crimes. In my opinion, instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it is better to escape separately. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire council chamber fell silent. After a long time, Guo Yan coughed and asked Zhang Ji and Fan Chou: "I don't know if what the two of you think is childish, is it desirable?" ”

Fan Chou is a brave and unscrupulous reckless man, where can he come up with any strategy, he can only look at Zhang Ji for help. Zhang Ji did not express his opinion, but turned his head to look at a strategist standing behind him and said, "Wenhe, I don't know what you think?" ”

It turned out that the strategist standing behind Zhang Ji was the famous poisoner Jia Xu Jia Wenhe. He walked out from behind Zhang Ji, stood in the middle and said to the other three generals: "In my opinion, if the monarchs abandon the army and go alone, then the chief of the pavilion can bind the monarch." It is better to lure the Shaanxi people and the army and horses of the headquarters, and kill in Chang'an to take revenge on Dong Zhuo. Help, serve the court to correct the world; If he doesn't win, it's not too late to go. ”

After Zhang Ji waited for Jia Xu to finish speaking, he looked at Li Wei and asked, "Childish, after listening to Mr. Jia's words, I don't know how you plan to do it." ”

Without waiting for Li Wei to speak, Fan Chou had already stood up and said first: "Anyway, fighting is death, and escaping is death." Why don't we give it a go, maybe there is still a chance of life. ”

Li Wei, who was sitting on the top seat, said Fan Chou before him, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but he still said with the usual expression: "Mr. Wenhe's words really make some sense. Since this is the case, then send people to the streets and alleys to spread rumors, saying that Wang Yun is ready to kill all the people in Liangzhou. When the people in the city are panicking, we will climb up again, and then we can gather tens of thousands of troops and go to Beijing to crusade against Wang Yun's old thief. ”

At the end of the discussion, Li Wei sent people outside to spread rumors, saying that Wang Yun would soon raise troops to attack Liangzhou, and he would kill all the people of Liangzhou. When the people in the city heard the news, they were really panicked, and some big families hurriedly packed up and prepared to escape from the city.

However, Li Wei listened to Jia Xu's plan and did not allow the people to leave the city at all. For a while, thousands of people crowded around the city gate cried loudly, and the scene made the soldiers guarding the gate at a loss.

At this moment, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou climbed the city tower. Seeing that the defenders of the city had climbed the tower, the people near the city gate immediately shouted loudly: "Please be gracious to the general, let me go out and flee for my life." ”

Li Wei stood on the city tower and waited for the shouts under the city to stop for a while before he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that this general refuses to let you out of the city. Since Wang Yun's dog thief wants to kill all the people of Liangzhou, then no matter where you flee, you can't escape a dead word. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the city were in a mess again. The people who Jia Xu had arranged in advance among the people immediately shouted loudly: "General, since if you escape, you will die, and if you don't escape, you will die, then what should we do?" ”

Li Wei knew that the people who spoke in the city were arranged by Jia Xu in advance, so he hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and said: "Everyone, since Wang Yun doesn't give us all a way to live, we simply rebel." If there is a kind, I will kill the master of Beijing with me, and the body of Wang Yun's dog thief will be broken into ten thousand pieces......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people arranged by Jia Xu shouted loudly: "We are willing to follow the general, kill the Jingshi, and take the life of Wang Yun's dog thief......" The people were in a desperate situation, and suddenly saw a way out in front of them, coupled with the instigation of someone next to them, they immediately shouted slogans after those people.

Seeing that the emotions of the people had been stirred up by himself, Li Wei hurriedly raised his hands and pressed down. After the silence was restored, he continued: "Fellow citizens, if anyone is willing to join the army, you can go to the barracks and sign up for the army. Everyone must remember that you are waiting for soldiers to eat food, not for the sake of the court, nor for me, but to protect your own house, land, wife, children, and ......."

As soon as Li Dao's incendiary words came out, the mood of the people in the city became even higher, and many people immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the barracks, wanting to join the army immediately, and follow General Li on the city tower to the Beijing Division to kill the Wang Yun dog thief who did not give him a way to live.

In just three days, Li Dao and others raised 100,000 people. After seeing the roster sent by his subordinates, he jumped Li Dao and the others. Li Wei got up and bowed deeply to Jia Xu, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. for your good advice." I thought that at best, I could only recruit 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, but I didn't expect that in just three days, more than 100,000 people would be enlisted everywhere. ”

Jia Xu smiled faintly and suggested to Li Wei: "Since there are 100,000 troops, the general can immediately raise troops to take Chang'an." ”

"But the soldiers and horses have just been recruited, and they haven't had time to train yet, so they hurriedly set up troops, isn't it too hasty?" Li Dao is an old soldier, and he knows that fighting depends not only on numbers, but also on combat effectiveness, so he said in embarrassment: "These soldiers and horses are okay to use to wave flags and shout, but if it comes to attacking cities and grabbing land, they may not be of great use." ”

"General, do you think that when we go to Chang'an, we still need to attack the city and plunder the land?" Jia Xu saw that Li Dao was a little hesitant, so he persuaded him: "The Taishi in these places has been in business for many years, and if the guards know that we are raising troops to avenge the Taishi, they will definitely respond one after another." When our troops come to the city of Chang'an, it will be the end of Wang Yun. ”

Hearing Jia Xu say this, Li Dao also had confidence. He hurriedly said to Jia Xu with a respectful attitude: "Mr. is resourceful, why don't you succumb to the position of military advisor for the time being?" When he captures the capital one day, I should be rewarded for my meritorious deeds. Jia Xu knew that he and the four generals had a relationship of glory and humiliation, so he readily agreed.

Then Li Dao summoned the other three, and announced in public that Jia Xu would serve as the military advisor, and when the army was raised to attack the Beijing division, he would give advice. Jia Xu was originally Zhang Ji's subordinate, so Zhang Ji naturally would not have any objections. And Fan Chou has always been the first to look forward to Zhang Jima, and there is no objection to this.

Only Guo Yan, after hesitating for a long time, finally nodded and said, "Okay, since I think Mr. Jia is the right person, then I have no opinion." ”

The army set off on the morning of the next day, and the four generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou each led their troops and horses all the way, and marched towards Chang'an.

After walking for about 40 miles, just as Li Wei was about to order his troops to set up camp, they suddenly came to report: "General Qiyu, I found a troop of soldiers and horses coming towards us in front. ”

Hearing that a troop of soldiers and horses was coming, Li Dao's first thought was that Lu Bu had led troops to crusade against him, and he couldn't help but instinctively shudder, and actually forgot to let the sentry horse go to find out again.

Jia Xu on the side couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw his virtue, and then ordered the sentry detective in a more confident manner: "Quickly go and find out where the soldiers and horses are, who is leading the troops, and how many soldiers and horses are there?" ”

Li Wei heard Jia Xu calmly instruct the sentinel, his mood was a little more stable, he waited for Jia Xu to finish speaking, and hurriedly ordered: "Did you hear what Jia Junshi said?" Hurry up and find out who the soldiers and horses are, who is leading the troops, and how many soldiers and horses there are. ”

After a short time of the sentinel gone, he hurried back and reported to Li Wei with an excited face: "General Qiqi, it is General Niu Zhonglang's soldiers and horses, with a total of 5,000 foot soldiers. ”

When Li Wei heard General Niu Zhonglang, he frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked with a look of surprise: "But General Niu Funiu, the son-in-law of the Taishi?" ”

"That's right, that's right." The sentry nodded a few times and said affirmatively, "It's General Niu's soldiers and horses." ”

Li Dao immediately ordered: "Quickly invite him to meet here." ”

The effort was not great, and the sentry came to Li Dao with two horses. Li Dao looked at the other side, and it was indeed Dong Zhuo's female Niu Fu, and the burly general beside him was Niu Fu's confidant Hu Chi'er.

Niu Fu came to Li Dao and saluted him with a fist on horseback: "Niu Fu see General Li!" ”

Li Wei hurriedly raised his hand to help him, and said politely: "General Niu doesn't need to be polite. I will lead the troops to Beijing to avenge the hatred of the Taishi, I wonder if General Niu is willing to go together? ”

"Niu Fu dares not to accept his life." After Niu Fu said this, he also specially added: "I am willing to be the vanguard of the army, take the Jingshi directly, take down the dog heads of Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and pay tribute to the spirit of the Taishi in the sky." ”

When he heard Lu Bu's name, Li Dao couldn't help but tremble. However, he quickly regained his composure, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Since General Niu is willing to be the vanguard, then I really can't ask for it." ”

Jia Xu on the side couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw his virtue, and then ordered the sentry detective in a more confident manner: "Quickly go and find out where the soldiers and horses are, who is leading the troops, and how many soldiers and horses are there?" ”

Li Wei heard Jia Xu calmly instruct the sentinel, his mood was a little more stable, he waited for Jia Xu to finish speaking, and hurriedly ordered: "Did you hear what Jia Junshi said?" Hurry up and find out who the soldiers and horses are, who is leading the troops, and how many soldiers and horses there are. ”

"Niu Fu dares not to accept his life." After Niu Fu said this, he also deliberately added: "Niu Fu is willing to be the vanguard of the army, take the Jingshi directly, take off the dog heads of Wang Yun and Lu Bu with his own hands, and pay tribute to the spirit of the Taishi in the sky." ”

When he heard Lu Bu's name, Li Dao couldn't help but tremble. However, he quickly regained his composure, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Since General Niu is willing to be the vanguard, then I really can't ask for it." ”
