In Chang'an City, in the first mansion of Beiquejia, Zhang Liao looked at Huangfu Li, who rushed back from the dust, and said with a smile: "Jianming, I ran away, how is the situation?" Can the Son of Heaven allow me to welcome me? ”

Huangfu Li said ashamedly: "Benefactor, Li is incompetent and cannot convince the Son of Heaven and the ministers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said with a smile: "Jianming, this is not your fault, but the Son of Heaven intends to be in Luoyang, and he is afraid of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Yang Ding. ”

He still hasn't said a word, the Son of Heaven has a knot in his heart.

Huangfu Li took out another edict, handed it to Zhang Liao, and said: "The Son of Heaven has appointed the benefactor as the general of Zhengxi, Jing Zhaoyin, and the governor of the left Feng Yi and the right Fufeng. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Liao took the edict and looked at it, shook his head and said with a smile: "Guanzhong is the foundation of Li Dao and Guo Yan, it seems that the Son of Heaven expects me to stop Li Guo and Er, attract the eyes of the two thieves to my side, and also want me to supply grain and grass?" Hehe......"

He admired Liu Xie's methods a little, not only appointing himself to an important position, what a great power he had to supervise the affairs of the three assistants, but also allowing himself to attract Li Dao and Guo Yan to cover his return to the east.

Huangfu Li changed color and said: "The Son of Heaven is so calculating! What should the benefactor do? ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven has a fate, how can he disobey it, but there is not much grain and grass in Chang'an City, only enough for the soldiers, and there will be a hard battle in the future, which is quite tight, I can only supply the Son of Heaven, the palace people and the courtiers with grain and grass, as for Yang Ding and Yang Feng, they hate and calculate against me, and they want me to supply grain and grass?" It's naïve to think about it, but if I'm an honest person, can't I? Let them drink the water of the Wei River and drink the northwest wind. ”

Only then did Huangfu Li remember that his benefactor didn't seem to have suffered any big losses since his debut, but on the contrary, his officials were getting higher and higher, and his strength was getting bigger and bigger, how could Yang Dingzhi and his ilk calculate.

Although Huangfu Li is loyal to the imperial court, but by no means a foolish and stubborn person, when Emperor Ling was there, Dong Zhuo did not listen to the dispatch, and the soldiers of Hedong County served Luoyang, Huangfu Li had persuaded Huangfu Song to lead the army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the safety was stable, and Qi Huan's things were achieved.

At this time, Zhang Liao acted like this, which made him more agreeable, and he asked again: "Can the benefactor go and take the Son of Heaven?" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head: "At this time, it is better to be still than to be still, and the latter can achieve miraculous results." ”

"The Lord is wise!" Huangfu Li saw that Zhang Liao had a plan, so he breathed a sigh of relief and resigned.

Zhang Liao looked at the back of Huangfu Li leaving, and nodded secretly, he was still very satisfied with the effect of Huangfu Li's unexpected trip, and let himself get a general of Zhengxi, Jing Zhaoyin, and the matter of supervising Sanfu, with this name, he acted justifiably in Guanzhong.

As for Liu Xie's plot to let him contain Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Liao felt that it was nothing, because Li Dao and Guo Yan were one of his prey, no matter what the Son of Heaven wanted, he wanted to sweep away these two.

……

It was dusk again, and the car of the Son of Heaven stopped in Shanglin Yuan, dozens of miles south of Chang'an.

Shanglin Yuan is built by Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty, relying on Zhongnan Mountain, spanning Chang'an, Xianyang, Zhouzhi, Huxian, Lantian five counties and counties, three hundred miles in length and width, there are Ba, Chan, Jing, Wei, Feng, Pickaxe, Waterlogging, Wei eight water in and out of it, there are 36 gardens, 12 palaces, 35 views, the introduction of various products in the Western Regions, is the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shoots and hunts, and it is also the place where the soldiers are tuned, but at the end of the former Han Dynasty, Shanglin Yuan turned into ruins in the war between Wang Mang and Chimei to fight for the capital.

But even if it is in ruins, there are many broken palaces, in which the Son of Heaven rests temporarily, and Yang Ding, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other soldiers and horses are stationed around.

The sun set, the full moon rose, and in the broken palace, Liu Xie looked north at Chang'an, with a complicated expression, and after making that decision, Liu Xie still couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. He longed to return to the old capital Luoyang, but he heard that Luoyang was burned to ashes by Dong Zhuo in the first place, what would happen when he returned to Luoyang? Will Yang Ding and Yang Feng become like Li Dao and Guo Yan? How about the other Kwantung princes, I heard that Yuan Shao originally intended to support Liu Yu......

"Your Majesty." Fu Shou came behind him and gently kneaded his shoulder: "Your Majesty is thinking about General Zhang?" ”

Liu Xie didn't look back, and sighed: "I don't know what will happen after returning to the east?" I don't know if it is wrong to abandon Zhang Liao and choose Zhang Ji, Yang Ding, Yang Feng and others? There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses on all sides, and there are 100 ministers, but I only feel cold. ”

Fu Shou said softly: "The concubine brother once served under General Zhang, saying that he is loyal and righteous, and does not live up to others, and that His Majesty wants to return to the old capital and worship the temple, General Zhang may not escort His Majesty back to the east, which is better than Yang Ding, these capricious and ungrateful Liangzhou people." ”

Liu Xie turned his head to look at Fu Shou, shook his head and said: "I don't know this, but I am afraid that the incident of Wang Situ in the past will repeat itself, if I go to Chang'an, Zhang Ji, Yang Ding, and Yang Feng will inevitably join forces with Li Dao and Guo Feng to besiege Chang'an, and then I am afraid that I will be the king of the country, Chang'an is too close to Liangzhou, and there is Ma Teng Hansui in the west, I don't want to stay here for a moment, I just want to return to the old capital, and the old ministers of Kanto think of the Han family are better than the people on the border of Liangzhou." ”

He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I only hope that the heavens will bless me, and the ancestors will bless the Han." ”

"Your Majesty." Fu Shou hugged Liu Xie tightly, and the two snuggled up to keep warm.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, Liu Xie and Fu Shou were both startled, and then a guard came in: "Your Majesty, go quickly, the thieves are coming!" ”

……

To the north of Shanglin Garden, in the camp of Yang Ding, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, Zuo Ling, Chong Ji and others are all there.

Yang Feng's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "That Zhang Liao really refused to supply us with grain and grass, only for the Son of Heaven and the courtiers, how can it be enough?" ”

Zhang Ji said disapprerovingly: "I never thought that I could get grain and grass from other places, this year, Sanfu, Sanhe, Qingxu, Yanyu and Hebei have all been hit by a major drought and locust plague, how much grain and grass can Zhang Liao have, and there will not be much in Chang'an City." ”

Yang Ding snorted: "I can't stop here, Chang'an is such a strong city that Zhang Liao can easily get it, it is difficult to eliminate my hatred, I have let people report to Li Zhiran, he hates Zhang Liao the most, and he will inevitably send troops to attack Chang'an." ”

Dong Cheng shook his head: "Otherwise, Li Zhiran's heart is now in the Son of Heaven, he wants to win Chang'an, and he must also take the Son of Heaven first, so we should be careful to take precautions." ”

Yang Dingdao: "Tomorrow the car can drive through Bashui, arrive at Lishan, tonight we will divide 20,000 troops first, to attack Chang'an, if you break Chang'an, get grain and grass, will be greatly boosted!" ”

Yang Feng said loudly when he heard this: "That's how it should be!" ”

Dong Cheng hesitated and did not refute, he is now an ally with Yang Ding and Yang Feng, and he always advances and retreats together.

Zuo Ling rolled his eyes and said: "That Zhang Liao didn't send some grain and grass, you can deduct half of it, and then inform Your Majesty that Zhang Liao refused to provide food and intended to rebel, so the generals just attacked Chang'an justifiably." ”

"Good plan!" Yang Ding laughed: "That's it......"

In the middle of his words, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside: "General, the big thing is not good, Li Dao, Guo Yan's soldiers and horses are chasing after him, and Ma Teng and Han Sui are helping!" ”

The faces of all the people in the tent changed greatly and they panicked.
