Chapter 723: Chang'an Chaos (Final)
At this time, He Jin finally realized Dong Zhuo's power, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, whether to continue to fight against Dong Zhuo.
In order to make He Jin surrender, Dong Zhuo opened a very high bargaining chip, not only willing to recognize Liu Bian's orthodox status, but also willing to work with He Jin to assist the government, of course, Dong Zhuo must be the main amount, and He Jin's status will only be under Dong Zhuo alone.
Now after all, the imperial court only has one acre and three points of land in Guanzhong, and if He Jin surrenders, he will become the second-in-command of the entire Kansai, which shows that this promise is really very sincere.
However, a promise is just a promise after all, although He Jin is stupid, he will not be stupid enough to believe Dong Zhuo's verbal promise, but he will never give up the rights in his hands lightly as a last resort.
Now, although He Jin has not yet reached the point of last resort, Dong Zhuo's methods really frighten him.
Dong Zhuo was so mad that even the Queen Mother dared to assassinate, what else in this world did he dare not do?
If the confrontation continues, if he loses in the end, God knows how Dong Zhuo will concoct himself?
Besides, even if Dong Zhuo is defeated this time, the situation that the imperial court is surrounded on three sides has not been resolved, what if Dong Zhuo makes a comeback?
He Jin was afraid, he was really a little scared.
The next day, in order to show favor to Dong Zhuo, He Jin ordered Hou Yi to return to Chang'an, although he was not ready to surrender, but he also had the intention of shaking hands with Dong Zhuo.
After receiving the order, Hou Yi hesitated again and again, refusing on the grounds that 'he will be outside, and the military order is not obeyed', but his end was that he was arrested by He Jin, and he was escorted back to Chang'an and directly imprisoned in the prison.
Immediately, He Miao, the younger brother of He Jin, led the army to retreat, and Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to lead the army to pursue and defeat the Han army, and He Miao was also captured by Yuwen Chengdu.
"Dong Zhuo, you don't keep your promises." He Miao roared at Dong Zhuo.
A hint of playfulness flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and he smiled lightly: "Why is the miscellaneous family not trustworthy?" ”
"My brother has retreated and is ready to join you in assisting Your Majesty, but why do you still lead the army in pursuit?" He Miao asked.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sneer, and then sneered: "He Jin's ambition is really big, the miscellaneous family has already given him a position under one person, but he is not satisfied, he actually wants to control the military power, is it really muddy to be an old man?" ”
A trace of panic flashed in He Miao's eyes, and he said a little nervously: "Who knows if you will keep your promise?" My brother is just trying to protect himself. ”
"Hmph."
Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and said lightly: "The miscellaneous family will not kill you this time, you go back and tell He Jin, either hand over the military power and surrender out of the city, or wait for the miscellaneous family to destroy the He family after breaking through Chang'an." ”
Dong Zhuo knew that after this defeat, He Jin's inner defense line was on the verge of collapse, so his attitude towards He Jin must be tougher, otherwise He Jin would definitely have to make inch.
"Stop playing those little tricks, the patience of the miscellaneous family is limited, get out." Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.
"Okay." Where did He Miao dare to stay longer, and ran away with a roll.
After He Miao was deliberately left by Dong Zhuo, He Jin, who was originally furious, also learned Dong Zhuo's original words from He Miao's mouth, thinking that Dong Zhuo just couldn't tolerate himself continuing to be in charge of the army, so he believed Dong Zhuo's clumsy nonsense again.
With He Miao's defeat, there were only more than 40,000 soldiers and horses left in Chang'an, even if Ding Yuan's 30,000 Jingzhou troops and Huangfu Song's 30,000 Jizhou troops arrived, they were only on par with Dong Zhuo's troops, and the generals were too much worse.
He Jin thought that he would definitely lose if he continued to fight, so he comforted himself and chose to believe Dong Zhuo, now the chips in his hands are getting smaller and smaller, if Dong Zhuo enters Chang'an and then does not surrender, it will be too late.
The next day, when He Jin announced that he was going to shake hands with Dong Zhuo and make peace with him, and was ready to make Dong Zhuo the prime minister and his assistant, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.
"General, this matter must not be done, Dong Zhuo is a jackal, once he enters Beijing, the country will not be a country."
Wang Yun persuaded hard, but He Jin skimmed his hands indifferently.
"Dong Zhongying is an important minister of the country, and he has put down the Qianghu Rebellion that has not been resolved for decades in a few months, which is really due to the society, why can't he assist the government with this general?"
The reason Wang Yun can say a basket, but He Jin is already timid, and no matter how the hundred officials dissuade him, he can't listen to a word at all.
"That's enough, Ben Jiang has made up his mind, you don't need to persuade you."
How familiar this scene is, at the beginning, the hundred officials persuaded He Jin to recruit Qin Hao into Beijing, He Jin also said the same thing at that time, and now it is estimated that He Jin himself regrets it too, but he is about to make the same mistake again.
He Jin was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the hundred officials, so he simply threw off his robe and left directly.
Wang Yun looked at He Jin's back and sighed: "The one who destroys my big man, He Jin also." ”
After Wang Yun returned home, he immediately wrote a letter to Ding Yuan, and when Ding Yuan learned that He Jin was about to surrender to Dong Zhuo, he immediately led the cavalry to Chang'an at full speed.
On the way, Ding Yuan also wrote a thousand-character recital, stating to He Jin the disadvantages of recruiting Dong Zhuo into Beijing.
However, He Jin only finished reading the first line, and threw it directly into the furnace.
Knowing that Ding Yuan strongly opposed Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, He Jin simply did not open the city gate after his army arrived, and put Ding Yuan and 30,000 Jingzhou troops outside the city to dry.
It was He Jin who recruited Ding Yuan, and it was He Jin who didn't let people into the city;
It was He Jin who wanted to fight against Dong Zhuo before, and now it is He Jin who wants to surrender Dong Zhuo;
How can I do things, it's just so brainless, it's so inconsistent, what can you do with me?
In the Jingzhou military camp, Ding Yuan was cursing He Jin non-stop.
"The husband is misleading the country, and he is misleading the country......"
Looking at the furious Ding Yuan, Lu Bu sighed: "Father-in-law, what should I do now?" ”
The Jingzhou army is a guest army, and the military rations it brings are not much, and if it continues like this, once the food is cut out, and Dong Zhuo leads the army to arrive, it will be defeated without a fight.
After hearing what Lu Bu said, Ding Yuan didn't think about it, and said directly: "The old man and the Dong thief are incompatible. ”
Ding Yuan was also mad by He Jin, his brain could no longer think normally, and he just wanted to fight with Dong Zhuo to get rid of this national thief.
Lu Bu was also stunned by Ding Yuan's courage, and persuaded with a wry smile: "Father-in-law, after Dong Zhuo surrendered He Miao's rout, he already has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and we only have 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Ding Yuan looked angry, and said to himself with a headache: "This is a problem." ”
Just when Ding Yuan couldn't advance or retreat, there would be another big event in Chang'an City.
In a corner of the palace, Zhang Rang, dressed in black and wearing a face scarf, said in a deep voice to a eunuch kneeling in front of him: "Cao Zhengchun, I told you to do something, how is it now?" ”
