Dong Zhuo dotes on this Dong Huang the most on weekdays, and even rewarded Dong Huang with a BMW and a treasure knife, originally hoping that he could inherit the family business and make a big career, but now things are wrong, but Ma Chao is cheaper.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Ma Teng's camp had been tattered by the previous attack, so Lu Bu led everyone directly to Huaili to rest.

After thousands of miles to help, the people and horses were tired along the way, and it was time to take a good rest.

Lu Bu sent people to contact Jia Xu and Zhang Liao to report on his situation, and also wanted to know how the progress of the northern and southern armies was?

Lu Bu rested in Huaili for two days before leaving for Chang'an.

During this period, Ma Teng took Ma Chao and Ma Xiu back to Maoling to bury Mrs. Ma on the spot, and the father and son were reunited.

This time, Ma Teng took his son and nephew with him and fought with the army, although Ma Tie was small, he could not be treated as an ordinary person.

Lu Bu and Ma Teng said that as long as they reach the age of admission, the brothers can be sent to Shaling Military Academy to study, and then come back to serve after graduation, Ma Chao is the first, directly enter the eighth phase of study, and Zhang Xiu, Ma Xiu, Ma Dai, all go to study with Ma Chao.

When Lü Bu and Ma Teng's army arrived in Chang'an, Jia Xu and Zhang Liao's armies on the north and south had already joined forces and completed the encirclement and blockade of Chang'an.

Li Dao did not fight to the death with the Bingzhou army outside Chang'an, but shrank his forces back to Chang'an City early.

According to Li Su's intelligence and the reconnaissance results of the past few days, the total number of troops in Chang'an City, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others was about 130,000, and some of them were only recently expanded.

Li Su got the city defense structure map of Chang'an City early and sent it to Lu Bu's desk.

Now, Li Su is still in Chang'an City, and there are many hidden forces controlled by Li Su, including more shadow squads are also hiding in Chang'an City.

Some civil and military officials in the court, and even middle-level generals in the Western Liang Army, have been bribed by Li Su and co-opted so that they are under control.

Chang'an City has a long history and has a history of hundreds of years as the capital of the Han Dynasty.

Although Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu took Luoyang as his capital, Chang'an has always existed as a companion capital over the years, and it is still the capital of the Han Dynasty. The walls of the city are thick and the defense facilities are perfect.

The last time Dong Zhuo died, including the later attack on Chang'an by Li Dao and others and the killing of Wang Yun, Chang'an City did not experience a major war.

If Lu Bu adopts the means of strong attack this time, I am afraid that this ancient capital will suffer a catastrophe.

The main camp of the state army was placed in Baling, and Ma Teng's army was placed, and Lu Bu gathered all the generals in the commander's tent.

In addition to the people who stayed in the state, all the senior generals of the state army, including the newly joined Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Ma Teng, Pang De and others, gathered together.

Lu Bu emphasized to everyone that no matter what, this trip to Guanzhong must take Chang'an and control the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor in the hands of the Bingzhou army.

At this time, Lu Bu no longer concealed that the grand strategic policy formulated by him and Jia Xu was "narrow heaven to order the princes"!

After controlling the emperor and the imperial court, he can justifiably use the righteousness of the imperial court to attack and restrain other princes, and become famous!

However, Lu Bu said that he still didn't want Chang'an City to suffer from the disaster of swords and soldiers, and the war was poisonous.

He personally wrote a long letter and sent Zhang Ji as a representative to Chang'an to meet Li Dao. After all, Zhang Ji and they had worked together for many years and were familiar with each other.

In Chang'an City, the wind is loud and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

Under the instigation of Li Su, all kinds of rumors spread all over the city, one would say that this adult had taken refuge in Lu Bu, and the other would say that the minister was Lu Bu's undercover agent.

The generals of the Xiliang Army once again gathered in Li Dao's General's Mansion to discuss countermeasures together.

Guo Yan had already returned to Chang'an, and he recounted the experience of the battle of Huaili, including Li Ru's instigation of Han Sui and Ma Tenghuo.

They already knew about the deaths of Li Ru and Dong Huang, and without the advice of Li Ru, a military advisor, Li Dao and the others didn't know how to deal with it.

Just when everyone was anxious and worried, his subordinates reported that Zhang Ji, as Lu Bu's envoy, was outside the city to ask to see General Li Dao.

Li Dao and the others all knew the purpose of Zhang Ji's coming at this time, it was nothing more than persuasion, listen to what he said first, and Li Dao asked Zhang Ji to bring him in.

Zhang Ji now has a belonging, with the support of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Army behind him, his waist is much stiffer unconsciously, and his way is different from before, and when he sees Li Ji and others, he just bows his hand without being humble or arrogant.

Li Ji is more urban, and he is not angry, "General Zhang Ji, didn't you vote for a new master?" How dare you come, do you want to humiliate us? ”

Zhang Ji smiled slightly, "I have met General Li Dao, I came this time to send a letter to General Li Dao with a letter written by the lord of my family, and to discuss the war. ”

"Oh? Lu Bu's handwritten letter to me? And to discuss the war? Come, bring the letter. ”

His guards walked over, took Lu Bu's handwritten letter from Zhang Ji, and hurriedly turned around and handed it to Li Dao.

Li Dao opened the letter and looked at it, it was really Lu Bu's handwriting, there was a lot of content, and it took me a long time to read it.

Li Dao passed Lu Bu's handwritten letter to Guo Yan and Fan Chou, and after both of them read Lu Bu's handwritten letter, Li Dao ordered someone to move Zhang Ji's seat.

"General Zhang, what General Lu Bu said in his letter, Li also deeply agrees, once our two armies carry out the offensive and defensive battle of Chang'an City, this four-hundred-year-old capital will definitely be destroyed, and you and my two armies will become sinners through the ages."

"Luoyang City has already set Dong Zhuo on fire, we really can't let Chang'an follow in its footsteps, I don't want to leave a reputation after death!"

Zhang Ji nodded and said with a smile: "That's exactly the case, so my lord-in-law proposed the matter of making an appointment and gambling fight." To tell the truth, there is a new weapon in the state army, called the wrath of thunder. ”

"I've tasted it before, both my Hangu Pass and Duan Xuan's Fenglingjin, no matter how thick the city gate is, no matter how high the city wall is, it will collapse in one blow. I think that although Chang'an City is strong, it will not be much stronger than Hangu Pass, right? ”

Li Wei also smiled bitterly when he heard Zhang Ji say about the anger of thunder, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu's Bingzhou army had such a siege weapon, how could he consider accepting Lu Bu's gambling contract?

"I decided to accept General Lu Bu's gambling agreement, but it is only a condition for the outcome of this gambling battle, can it be discussed?

Zhang Ji shook his head and said, "My lord agreed to fight and won, naturally you will sacrifice Chang'an City, His Majesty the Emperor and the courtiers of the Chinese Wu Qunchen, you all surrender, and General Lü Bu promised to spare you from death." “

"If we lose, we will not step into the Guanzhong and Liangzhou regions within three years, what do you want to do with such conditions? In any case, you can stay alive, and you are not satisfied? ”

"If you really want to attack the city, although the jade will be burned, you will also die. Life is so good, don't you want to enjoy it for two more years? Zhang Ji looked at everyone pleasantly.

"Besides, even if you surrender to my lord, you can still enjoy the glory and wealth like me, so why do you have to think about it? To tell the truth, today, only Master Lu Bu is worthy of the supreme glory below that one person and above ten thousand people, you are all delusional! ”
