Chapter 280: Great Changes in Beijing

If the news of Dong Zhuo's death shocked the world, then after the death of the old thief, the development of Guanzhong shocked the world.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao and Guo Yan set up their soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass, and watched Ma Teng and Han Sui launch a deadly onslaught on Chang'an.

There was a shortage of major generals in Chang'an City, and all the elites were taken out by Dong Zhuo, and it was difficult to hold them for a long time.

Li Ru sent urgent letters to Li Dao several times, asking him to return to the army to rescue him quickly, otherwise Chang'an would be in danger.

But every letter from Li Ru is like a stone sinking into the sea, without splashing a wave.

In the end, Ma Teng and Han Sui captured Chang'an.

The result of Ma Teng and Han Sui's capture of Chang'an was Dong Zhuo's complete desperation.

It's not that they are cruel, it's just that this is a necessary means to take charge of the political situation, if Ma Teng and Han Sui want to replace Dong Zhuo to support the Son of Heaven and become a powerful minister, then they must deny everything that the previous powerful minister created...... Including denying life.

Ma Teng was a little hesitant, but Han Sui had already carried out a terrifying purge of Dong Zhuo's family and old ministry left behind in Chang'an.

When it comes to ferocity and violence, the generals under Ma Teng and Han Sui are also the Xiliang Army, and among them are still Qiang people, not much different from the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, and the ability to burn, kill and loot is only above Dong Zhuojun, not below.

With this group of ruffians as their backing, what else would they not dare to do?

In just three days, Dong Zhuo's old ministry and the three clans of the Dong clan left in Chang'an were almost slaughtered, and there was not even a single scum left.

The people in Chang'an City also suffered because of this turmoil, and Han Sui's soldiers and horses, under the pretext of clearing the old Dong thief, wantonly looted in Chang'an City, robbed the people's property, and turned the entire Chang'an City into a bloody storm.

For a time, whether it was the scholars, officials, or ordinary people, everyone was in danger.

However, when counting the Dong personnel slaughtered, Ma and Han seemed to have a little omission that they had not expected.

Although Dong Zhuo's cronies are all dead, Li Ru's body has never been found!

It also includes one of Dong Zhuo's grandchildren!

However, although things are a little strange, there are rumors in the city that Li Ru had committed suicide by throwing himself into a well on the eve of Ma and Han attacking Chang'an, but he died in this life.

As for which well he threw in, no one could say.

There are too many wells in Chang'an City, if you check them one by one, I don't know when you have to find out.

Moreover, compared to Li Ru and Dong Zhuo's grandchildren, these trivial matters are not worth Ma Teng and Han Sui's attention at present, because they have more important things to do at the moment.

They're going to strife now!

The cause of the infighting between the two brothers is simple, even ridiculous—simply because of the disagreement that arose when they first entered the palace.

Ma Teng and Han Sui have lived in the border area of Liangzhou for a long time, they have been with the Qiang people all the year round, and they have both supported the kingdom to rebel and rebel back then, so to a certain extent, these two people are not good stubbles, no different from bandits and bullies.

The problem is that even bandits are divided into three, six, nine and so on, there are bandits who know how to read, and there are bandits who don't know how to read.

Ma Teng obviously belongs to the literacy level.

The difference between him and Han Sui is that although Ma Teng has fallen, because his ancestor is Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, deep in his heart, he still has a self-motivated heart to strive for progress and return to the civilized world.

Although I was a traitor, my ancestors were loyal ministers!

Ma Teng's heart is always shouting...... Lao Tzu used to be a scholar!

But Han Sui is obviously different.

Compared with Ma Teng, Han Sui is more ambitious, as early as when Emperor Xiaoling was still alive, Han Sui dared to openly attack the imperial court, and for many years, he has not stopped much.

To put it bluntly, he is the Eastern Han Dynasty version of the mountain carving.

In the second year of Zhongping, Han Sui led tens of thousands of cavalry into Kou Sanfu and invaded the garden mausoleum, making it clear that he wanted to dig up the emperor's mausoleum and open a new chapter in the history of tomb robbery.

At that time, Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, was still alive, and the land of Sanfu was also considered to be within the controllable range of the Heavenly Family's forces, although the Yellow Turban was causing chaos in various places at that time, breaking ground at the feet of the Son of Heaven was not something that ordinary people dared to do - especially to rob the tomb of the Son of Heaven!

In broad daylight, Brother Han openly led tens of thousands of people to fight against the shovel to dig the ancestral grave of the old Liu family.

Later, Han Sui fought with Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and others continuously, and they all made them return without a fight.

After the grave digging incident, Han Sui estimated that he didn't dig up any good goods, and he felt a little aggrieved in his heart, so he turned his heart sideways - he simply rebelled!

However, he did not dare to implement it until an opportunity arose.

Han Sui's initial rebellion was coerced by Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang people, together with his colleague Bian Zhang, and he was forced to Liangshan by Beigong Boyu, so he had to sit on a top spot.

But as time went by, Han Sui discovered that the rebellion against the Han Dynasty was also quite interesting, which made his life full of meaning - both fulfilling and exciting, much more interesting than digging people's ancestral graves.

So, Han Sui didn't stop doing anything, and simply killed Brother Beigong Boyu and Brother Bian Zhang, and alone raised the banner of doing the right thing for the sky, and since then he has embarked on a rebellious road of no return......

Later, he got to know the kingdom again, first supported the kingdom and rebelled, but then abolished the family, and later became brothers with Ma Teng.

To sum up, Han Sui is a person who actually has no human morality.

For this kind of outstanding person who even dares to dig the old grave of the Liu family, it is quite difficult to expect him to be respectful to the current son of the Liu family, to be honest.

……

As soon as Han Sui entered the palace, he didn't say a word, he even saved the link of worship, and walked directly in front of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and proudly Mao Sui recommended himself: "My brother's merit, can you encroach on the position of Xiangguo and the general?" ”

Han Sui thought that his domineering spirit could stun the Son of Heaven, but the problem was that the jackals, tigers and leopards that Liu Xie had seen over the years were really a bit too much, and his ability to resist pressure was very strong, and it could even be said that he was a little numb.

Liu Xie is not very old now, but he has a good cultivation, he patiently persuaded Han Sui, and tactfully told him: He Jin, the general of the year, was not able to become a general as soon as he came up, he was also because Empress Lingsi was elected to the palace and was favored by the first emperor, so he was favored by He Jin, and let him become a general after serving as Langzhong, Huben Zhonglang, Yingchuan Taishou, Jiangzuo General, Henan Yi and so on.

Compared with He Jin, Han Sui wants to be a big official, and you have to go through more training.

Han Sui saw that the Son of Heaven was so faceless, and a general was reluctant to give it, so he was immediately unhappy.

He shouted at Liu Xieyao, the son of heaven, "I'm not a butcher!" ”

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was very unhappy in his heart.

What a, the butchers of other families can be generals because they have a beautiful sister who can sleep with my father! What about you? There is nothing under his hands except a group of stinky Xiliang old men!

I don't sleep with those old men.

So, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was silent.

Han Sui saw that the Son of Heaven refused to be an official, and he was furious, and the bandit's temper began to rise.

As soon as the bandit's temper came up, Han Sui's mouth began to be unclean, and he spoke foul words to the Son of Heaven.

It is estimated that what Han Sui said may be too ugly, and Ma Teng can't accept it in his heart.

As a descendant of the ambush general Ma Yuan, although he was not as majestic as his ancestors back then, and he was a rebel for a while, Ma Teng's purpose in coming to Chang'an this time was to let the Son of Heaven see his Ma Teng's Confucian style.

He dreamed of carrying forward the Ma clan in his own hands.

On the first night of coming to see the Son of Heaven, Ma Teng lit the lamp and boiled oil, and almost prepared a draft for the night, including the etiquette and greetings when meeting the Son of Heaven, as well as how to govern Guanzhong in the future to the Son of Heaven, and put forward some good policies and strategies, so as to behave well in front of His Majesty.

He even thought that if the Son of Heaven was happy and had to invite himself to dinner, then he should say something interesting and graceful at the dinner, so that the Son of Heaven would appreciate him from the bottom of his heart—or a poem would be more reliable.

Ma Teng had made so many preparations, but the only person he had forgotten that could destroy it all, and that was Han Sui.

Han Sui's actions in front of the Son of Heaven completely sent him and Ma Teng to the same level as Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Vicious Dog.

Seeing the vague contempt and disgust in the eyes of the Son of Heaven looking at the two of them, Ma Teng knew that his desire to turn from a barbarian in the northwest to a member of the high-ranking scholar group of the Han Dynasty was declared completely bankrupt as Han Sui scolded the Son of Heaven.

Han Sui ruined Ma Teng's dream of becoming a cultural person, and Ma Teng would definitely not let him have a good time.

After the capture of Chang'an, the brothers, who were sometimes good and sometimes bad, once again had a contradiction because of the difference in ideals and political behavior.

The Western Liang people and the Central Plains people handled things a little differently.

The people of the Central Plains have contradictions, everyone is generally based on talking, everyone first sits down to break the reason, arguing with words, occupying the righteousness, using means and brainpower to distribute the benefits, if the talks can't get along, and then think of other ways.

Xiliang people obviously skipped this link.

For them, negotiations are completely redundant.

There are differences and contradictions, and the handling method of the Xiliang people who have lived in the border for a long time is generally only three words.

Let's do it!

In this way, after Chang'an City was infected by the blood of Dong Zhuo's old tribe and the three clans, it began to fall into another war.

Ma Teng vs. Han Sui!

The two sides turned from allies to hostilities, and their respective coders gathered in the suburbs of Chang'an and began a series of fierce infighting.

This kind of thing is commonplace for Ma Tengjun and Han Suijun.

Those who are familiar with the temperament of these two generals know that Ma Teng and Han Sui are really not fighting once or twice.

As long as they don't die, after a while, they will shake hands and make peace, and if they are good, they can continue to wear a pair of pants.

And the strength of the two is quite equal, in the absence of special circumstances, the two parties are basically evenly matched, and no one can help the other.

Eventually, though, things can change over time.

This time, a dark horse appeared in Ma Teng's army, and the balance of victory was slightly weighed on Ma Teng's side.

This time on the expedition to Chang'an, Ma Teng led his eldest son Ma Chao, who was just seventeen years old and had a crown ceremony.

A seventeen-year-old boy who had just entered the battlefield with a crown ceremony was nothing remarkable in Han Sui's eyes.

It's just a baby, how much can it play in the battle between the two armies?

But what Han Sui didn't expect was that Ma Chao's skills when he went out of the mountain this time were not much smaller than those of Sun Ce and the potters back then.

This young doll showed great courage and invincibility on the battlefield, defeating six generals under Han Sui in a row, and had the air of an invincible general.

This young man was dressed in brocade, and the spear in his hand was almost invincible on the battlefield, and the generals under Han Sui's command were almost invincible in front of him.

comparable to Lu Bu's martial arts.

Ma Teng's army has repeatedly defeated Han Sui because of Ma Chao's shining debut, but Han Sui's command is also a good fighting army that lives in the border fortress all the year round, Ma Teng can have the upper hand with morale, but if he wants to completely defeat Han Sui, he still can't.

The two sides fought several fierce battles, but they also lost their troops and lost their morale, and the soldiers on both sides fell to a low point in terms of combat strength and fighting spirit.

But it was at this moment that Li Dao, according to Jia Xu's plan, began to command the three armies to launch a fatal blow against Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Li Dao and the others recuperate, waiting for work, Ma Teng and Han Sui fought infighting, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted, comparing the two, it was naturally clear who won and who lost.

Moreover, Li Wei had Jia Xu's help, and it was not a problem to give advice, and naturally recaptured Chang'an City from Ma and Han.

Ma Teng and Han Sui reconciled again, and counterattacked Li Dao, wanting to regain the Son of Heaven.

After a bloodbath between the two of them, the people of the Shi clan in the city were extremely disgusted with the two, and the Son of Heaven also issued an edict to directly entitle Li Dao as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the governor of the army, to exterminate the brutality, which greatly improved the morale of the Chang'an army and the people for revenge.

Since following Dong Zhuo, it is the first time that Li Dao has been so rare.

After a long delay, Ma and Han saw that they could not do anything, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops, temporarily give up attacking Chang'an, and display their soldiers and horses in Huaili, but they still looked at Chang'an.

The turmoil in Chang'an also did not stop, Ma Teng and Han Sui had just left, and the state army under the command of Lu Bu also rushed back to Chang'an.

Now that Dong Zhuo's three clans are wiped out, Li Ru is nowhere to be found, the Xiliang Army is in the hands of two people led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and Lu Bu has the Bingzhou Army as a supplement, and he has the name of Dong Zhuo's son, if he inherits Dong Zhuo's foundation, it is not impossible.

In fact, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not completely retreat, they displayed their soldiers and horses in Jingyang, closely watching the movements of Chang'an City, looking for an opportunity to make a comeback.

And Jia Xu's old fox, although he is in Li Wei's camp at the moment, he is also figuring back and forth in his heart.

Now the situation in Guanzhong is becoming more and more chaotic, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Han Sui...... Many parties are fighting around Chang'an, how should this war end?

The original trajectory in history, because Dong Zhuo was Wang Yun and Lu Bu conspired to be in power, and did not allow the old Xiliang troops to return to obedience, Jia Xu, who was in the Xiliang army, in order to save his own life, had to add fuel to the fire, help Li Dao and Guo Yan kill Wang Yun, stifle the last hope of the Han Dynasty, and regain power to save his life.

But the current situation is completely different, Dong Zhuo died "natural death", and there is no descendant to inherit the inheritance, Wang Yun is not in Chang'an, and the Xiliang army is still dominant in Chang'an City.

Jia Xu doesn't need to think about his life in history now, all he needs to think about is what kind of way to solve this war......

On the premise of not worrying about his own life, Jia Xu naturally would not be completely loyal to Li Wei.

Perhaps now, it's time to choose a good home for yourself.

Li Dao is not Jia Xu's dish in a certain sense.

After Jia Xu made up his mind, he decided to take advantage of the chaotic season to enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven.
