Chapter 343: Emperor Xian's Eastward Movement (2)
As mentioned earlier, Jia Xu has his own concerns. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter how much Jia Xu has made now, there is an indisputable fact that the reason why the two traitors, Li Dao and Guo Yan, were able to attack Chang'an, and even forced the previous Situ Wang Yun to jump from the city gate, was entirely because Jia Xu made plans in the back.
Now the Son of Heaven and the ministers still use Jia Xu, and they can still turn a blind eye to this matter, but when the Son of Heaven arrives in Luoyang, Jia Xu is no longer needed?
At first, it may be okay, maybe the Son of Heaven can still remember Jia Xu's contribution in the process of his eastward migration, but as time passes, this credit will gradually be worn out. Instead, being able to meet Jia Xu every day will remind the Son of Heaven of what happened before, and anger will follow, not to mention that Jia Xu does have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.
So...
Rather than being cut off by the Son of Heaven in the future, it is better not to follow. Jia Xu's position in the Xiliang Army is very special, he eats between Li Dao and Guo Yan and others, no matter where he goes, there is no problem, and he is not as eager to leave Chang'an as the Son of Heaven or Yang Biao...
"Your Majesty, no matter what, the minister has done his best..."Finally, he saluted Liu Xie and the direction in which they left, Jia Xu said silently in his heart.
After standing quietly for a while, Jia Xu finally chose to turn around and leave.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
Since Li Dao and others captured Chang'an, Chang'an has become almost like hell, and it is not even as good as when Dong Zhuo was there. The reason is also very simple, when Dong Zhuo was there, although he had a lot of oppression on the Son of Heaven and the ministers, he knew that Chang'an was his own territory, not to mention that there was Li Ru beside him to persuade him, and he still had some governance over Chang'an.
But Li Dao and they are different, not to mention whether they have the same wisdom as Dong Zhuo, you must know that Dong Zhuo said nothing when he was in Chang'an, and what about them? But it is divided, and they are almost on the verge of fighting for control of Chang'an, where is there any intention to manage Chang'an City in this case?
Although because they don't have the power of Dong Zhuo, they can't be as wanton as Dong Zhuo to oppress the Son of Heaven and his ministers. But on the other hand, the laissez-faire of the soldiers and horses under his command also greatly damaged Chang'an, the Son of Heaven and they were fine, but those people suffered.
There is not much time, and Chang'an City is already everyone's dish. In addition to the Son of Heaven and a few ministers, even the ministers who came were also full of hunger, let alone the people?
If it weren't for the fact that even if he left Chang'an, there would be nowhere to go, but I am afraid that the people in the city would have run out long ago. But now that even the Son of Heaven has run away, where can they still endure it? One by one, they also dragged their families out of their residences.
It's just that at this time, these people didn't expect that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven and the ministers, they had become cannon fodder for the break...
The books of the sages once said many things about loving the people, and demanded that ministers should love the people as children. When necessary, even at the expense of oneself, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the people.
In normal times, these ministers also like to use such words to admonish themselves, and even their protΓ©gΓ©s. But now, when it really involves their own lives, these ministers, who are usually full of moral articles, have forgotten the teachings of the sages...
In the end, even if you talk about this kind of thing, where is it serious?
What's more, now they have a very good excuse, for the safety of the Son of Heaven...
As long as it is for the safety of the Son of Heaven, even some sacrifices are worth it, as for the safety of these ministers? That's just in passing...
With such an excuse, those ministers are really at ease when they do such things...
On the high mountain, looking at the long line below, Yang Feng pursed his lips.
As the main general who escorted Liu Xie to Luoyang this time, it was certainly impossible for Yang Feng to be informed of such a thing. He didn't have any opinion on the ministers' decisions at that time, and after so many years in the Xiliang Army, some of his ways of thinking were no different from those of the Xiliang Army. As long as the final goal can be successfully achieved, it doesn't matter how many people die.
The real question is, is it really useful to use these people?
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind Yang Feng, and he saw a burly man wearing an armor made of fine iron walking over and holding his fist at Yang Feng.
"General, everything is almost arranged, now that the last group of civilians have come out of the city, and the rest are just some sporadic ones, should we also act?"
This person's eyes are bright, so that he doesn't look like an ordinary person.
Yang Feng also seemed to trust this person, and nodded when he heard this, but then said with some hesitation. "Komeito, do you say that what I am doing now is wrong..."
To be reasonable, half of the reason why Yang Feng betrayed Li Dao and Guo Yan was anger, and the other half was Jia Xu's persuasion.
After Dong Zhuo died, in fact, the Xiliang Army also had a chance to be unified, and this opportunity appeared on Li Dao's body. After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao was in charge of the most powerful force of the Xiliang Army, and even if several other generals were added together, they could barely compete with Li Dao.
During this period, Li Dao can be said to be in full swing, and it is also the period when there is the most hope for the unification of the Xiliang Army.
It's a pity...
At this time, Yang Feng, who was originally under Li Dao, betrayed him...
Yang Feng's background is actually not very good, at the beginning was a member of the Yellow Turban, in February of the fifth year of Zhongping, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army Guo Tai raised troops in the Baibo Valley to rebel against the Eastern Han Dynasty, known as the White Bo Army, Yang Feng is one of them.
Later, Yang Feng withdrew from the Baibo army and followed Li Dao, becoming a member of the Western Liang army.
After Yang Feng began to follow Li Dao, the first thing he encountered was that Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun's design, and Li Dao seized Chang'an. At the beginning, the warlords of the Xiliang Army were still relatively united, because at that time, if their hearts were not aligned, what was waiting for them was only a dead end, which both Li Dao and others knew well, but when they defeated Lu Bu and held the Son of Heaven in their hands, contradictions gradually appeared.
The discord and contradictions between the various warlords in Liangzhou, who controlled the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, reached a white-hot stage. After a period of time, Li Dao and Guo Yan raised troops to attack. In a battle between the two sides, Li Dao's army was unfavorable, and Li Dao's ears were pierced by random arrows.
Just when he arrived at this place, then Yang Feng could be said to have a lot of kindness to Li Dao, but later Yang Feng and Song Guo, the military officer of Li Dao's army, conspired to murder Li Dao, but the matter was leaked, so he led troops to rebel against Li Dao, which greatly weakened Li Dao's military strength.
To be reasonable, if Yang Feng had thought of betraying Li Dao at the beginning, it would have been absolutely impossible to lead the army to rescue Li Dao when he fell into a disadvantage. The only possibility is that after Yang Feng saved Li Dao's life, Li Dao did not give Yang Feng the reward he deserved.
I think it is also, with Li Wei's temperament and character, knowing how to repay kindness or something, is actually not a very easy character to have.
Yang Feng is not a good stubble, originally thought that if he saved Li Dao, how could he get some rewards, such as officials or gold and silver treasures, but who would have thought that after rescuing Li Dao, there would be no reward at all, plus Li Dao usually treats people very problematicly, so betrayal has become inevitable.
And Yang Feng's betrayal, there are also several other warlords behind the scenes.
As I said before, Li Dao's strength is too strong, strong enough to threaten the independence of others. Although a complete Xiliang army is the strongest. But after being free for a while, they found that only now was the most comfortable, without any control, and they did not have to worry about being punished for not doing things well.
Besides, even if the power in his hand is weaker, it is much stronger than the soldiers below, isn't it? It's a comfortable life like this...
In this case, a strong Li Dao is equivalent to threatening the lives of other people, and it is strange that they have no action. Later, after Yang Feng betrayed Li Dao, he could still appear in Chang'an City intact, and there were other people in it, otherwise with Yang Feng's power, it would be a bit of a fool's dream to stay in Chang'an City safely...
But now...
Yang Feng betrayed Li Dao again, but this time he not only betrayed Li Dao, but also betrayed Guo Yan, if he was really caught up by them, his life would definitely be lost...
Hearing Yang Feng's words, the man seemed a little surprised, but he didn't expect Yang Feng to hesitate a little at this time, but he still hugged his fists.
"Why is the general hesitant, this time to escort the Son of Heaven is to contribute to the country's society, isn't it supposed to be like this?" I have to say that Xu Huang was originally biased towards royalism. Historically, Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's troops attacked Chang'an City by Li Dao and Guo Yan, killed Wang Yun and others, and then set themselves on fire and slaughtered each other in Chang'an. It was Xu Huang who persuaded Yang Feng to escort Emperor Han Xian east into Luoyang, and when Emperor Han Xian crossed the river to Anyi (now north of Xia County, Shanxi), he rewarded the meritorious personnel, and Xu Huang was also named the Marquis of Duting because of this.
But after saying the beautiful words, Xu Huang looked left and right, and then spoke.
"And the general should know very well that Li Dao has always hated the general, and now he has not done anything to the general because of the other generals, but now the generals have chosen to leave Chang'an, in other words, there are only two people left in Chang'an City, Li Dao and Guo Yan, the balance has been broken, and now the general can't guarantee his safety even if he stays in Chang'an Ye..."
Without containment, the original balance has been broken. Although there are two people, Li Dao and Guo Yan, plus Yang Feng, they just make up a triangle. But in fact, things are not so simple, because Yang Feng's triangle is too weak...
That's right, Yang Bong is too weak...
Originally, the triangle should be the most stable shape, but because Yang Feng was too weak, things went wrong, if something really happened, I am afraid that Yang Feng would not have the possibility of fighting with the cranes and mussels at all, but would be torn apart by the competition between Li Dao and Guo Yan, and it was miserable.
"Yes..."Yang Feng also knew this, knowing that he actually had little way to retreat. I only hope that before those two guys react, these people can walk a few more steps, and those soldiers and horses in Guandong can come sooner, but we can't pin all our hopes on the soldiers and horses in Kanto, the soldiers and horses in Kanto are unbearable, not as good as the Xiliang Army, even if there are more soldiers and horses, I am afraid that half of the Xiliang Army is not easy to use, not to mention that it is still a long journey, and it is still difficult to say how much combat power can be left when we finally arrive..."
Xu Huang did not deny this when he arrived, after all, it was already recognized in the Western Liang Army that the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung could not fight. Although there was such an outlier as Sun Jian when the Tiger Prison was passed, except for Sun Jian, most of the other princes were defeated in consecutive battles, especially Cao Cao, who was the deputy leader of the alliance, and almost lost his life during the pursuit.
You can imagine how bad the impression left by the Kanto soldiers and horses on them was...
In the process of Yang Feng and Xu Huang's conversation, the sky gradually brightened, and the sun gradually rose as the king gradually rose, and the two of them were silent.
They knew very well that the night was their best cover, and now that the sky was gradually turning white, the only thing they could pray for was that Li Dao and Guo Yan could react later, so that they could walk more.
On the other hand, as the sky turned white, Ma Teng also led the soldiers and horses into battle.
Originally, he shouldn't have gone to war so early, after all, even if he was a soldier or a human, not an animal, he had just fought a big battle during the day, and now he didn't even have time to rest, how could it be?
If you really want to do this, I'm afraid it's not impossible to bomb the camp, but Ma Teng still did it.
Because according to the original plan, now that the Son of Heaven has left Chang'an, they can only go to Luoyang secretly, this time is the most dangerous time, and it is also the time when Ma Teng needs to attract attention the most.
For Ma Teng's actions, Li Dao was a few annoyed, and it was no wonder that he had slept well, but he was quarreled with, and anyone would be furious. Especially Li Dao, he shouted that Ma Teng would not die well.
However, shouting and shouting, Li Dao still led the soldiers and horses to fight, after all, if Ma Teng really killed, it would be a big loss.
What they didn't expect was that Ma Teng was still unwilling to fight directly on this day, but still chose the way of fighting generals. Of course, this is also in their hands, according to their judgment, it will not be long before Ma Teng's grain and grass will run out, this time is the most suitable time for them to do it, although it is okay now, but there will be some casualties, so it is also beneficial for Li Dao and Guo Yan to delay some time.
It's just that...
Just when Li Dao and Guo Yan had just arranged for a general with good martial arts to fight, they found that what ran out from the opposite side was not Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, who killed all sides yesterday, but a young military general with a handsome face...
After a careful observation, the two armies in the battle were almost in an uproar, and Ma Teng in the back looked at Ma Chao standing next to him with a cannibalistic gaze.
"Look at the good things you've done!" Almost gritting his teeth, Ma Teng spoke.
