Zhang Fei reined in his horse and was about to fight, but he heard Huang Zhong laugh behind him: "It's better to close these guys and train them to be in the right place." ”

When I looked up, I saw a white flag dancing non-stop, and the soldiers at the head of Sanguan City were shouting: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender." ”

Duan Xuan was happy for a while, and gave Li Dao and Guo Yan a random arrow, and when they bypassed the trail and headed north, Duan Xuan remembered that if he continued to work under Dong Zhuo, he might not have a good time in the future.

The trail next to the pass, if it is when the two armies are facing each other, the enemy will not be allowed to easily bypass, but those soldiers who detour are the comrades of the sergeant guarding the pass, although they also shot a few waves of random arrows, but they did not really be ruthless, plus the Qiang soldiers and the Hun soldiers were riding horses, and they escaped most of them, Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao counted the people and horses, there were still more than 60,000 people,

Liu Bao hung his head and said dejectedly: "This time I came with a good time, returned from a bad time, lost my troops and lost my generals, and made people shameless to see the clansmen in the tribe again." ”

Beigong Boyu said hatefully: "It's all to blame Dong Zhuo, the thief, for abandoning us, how to go back empty-handed, why don't we go back to Chang'an directly, grab some children's gold silks, and give an explanation to the clansmen." ”

Liu Bao has a rough appearance, but in fact, he is extremely deceitful, these things don't need to be mentioned by Beigong Boyu, he has already thought of it, however, Liu Bao thought further, shook his head and said: "Dong Zhuo still has a lot of men and horses in his hands, plus the defenders of Chang'an, there is not something you and I can capture, I heard that Dong Zhuo built a Yiwu City a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, which is full of gold, silver and jewelry, beautiful women, why don't you and I kill it directly." ”

When Dong Zhuo was in Xiliang, he treated the Qiang people very well, and he was also quite prestigious among the Qiang people, after listening to Liu Bao's suggestion, Beigong Boyu couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said: "Dong Zhuo's wife, concubine and mother all live in Yiwu, there must be heavy guards, I wait for such a rash killing, whether it can succeed or not, I am afraid it will anger Dong Zhuo." ”

Liu Bao naturally knew what Beigong Boyu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Let's go to Yiwu, only take the golden silk beauties, and Yu Dong Zhuo's family will not commit any crimes, and we will never make you embarrassed, so it's always okay." ”

Beigong Boyu said ruthlessly: "Okay, you and I will immediately wave the battle of Wucheng." ”

The two of them knew that the matter was urgent and could not be delayed, so they didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so they took the team to Yiwu City.

said that Liu Xin entered the Sanguan and couldn't take care of rest, so he immediately dispatched troops.

Duan Xuan was newly attached and was eager to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't know Dong Zhuo's movements, and he didn't know that Wang Yun had escorted Liu Xie to Luoyang, but the area around Guanzhong had always been guarded by him and Dong Xiu, and the county magistrates and the four guards were their old friends, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "The lord of Qi, the last general is willing to go to Wuguan in person, saying that Dong Xiu is coming to surrender, in order to thank the lord for not killing." ”

Liu Xin had already heard clearly about the intrigues between these generals under Dong Zhuo, and waved his hand with a smile: "I am very pleased that General Duan can have this heart, but you don't know that the current Wuguan is already Zhang Ji's master, Dong Xiu said that it doesn't matter, but the other counties and counties also hope that General Duan will make more efforts to persuade them to take the initiative to surrender, so as not to cause misery, which can be regarded as a great merit." ”

Guo Jia said suddenly: "Dong Zhuo must vote for Xiliang when he goes, if General Duan can persuade Xiao Guan to vote in the future, so that Dong Zhuo has nowhere to escape, it will be a great achievement." ”

Duan Xuan clasped his hands into fists and said happily: "Cui Yong, who guards Xiao Pass, is the old department of the last general, and the last general is willing to lead the troops to go, saying that he is coming to surrender." ”

Liu Xin made such a big determination this time, and even when the troops were stretched, he would rather set up an empty city plan in Xiangyang, and insisted on refusing to withdraw his troops at Sanguan, that is, he was determined to completely eliminate Dong Zhuo, and naturally agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion, but he would not pin all his hopes on Duan Xuan, so he said: "Yide, you take a group of men and horses to go to Xiao Pass with General Duan, and no matter what, you must take Xiao Pass before Dong Zhuo." ”

Seeing Zhang Fei and Duan Xuan leading the order to leave, Chen Gong got up and said: "Lord Qiqi, my army has been scattered for a long time, Dong Zhuo can think of sending troops to raid Xiangyang, it is inevitable that other princes will also be ready to move, and please make plans as soon as possible, so that the first army will return to Jingzhou." ”

Xu Huang arched his hand and said: "Although what Gongtai said is not unreasonable, it is just a long way to return from Hanzhong, it is better to make an army directly attack Wuguan, and Zilong to attack from the north and south, Wuguan is at your fingertips, even if the princes dare to have different intentions, what are they afraid of." ”

Sun Ce got up and said: "The last general is willing to go, if you can't take the Wuguan here, you must come to see you." ”

Liu Xin pondered for a moment, looked at the generals under his command, and then said: "Mr. Gongtai is very worried, I can't wait for it, if the other princes have any changes, then whether they can successfully seize Wuguan will affect the safety of the entire Jingzhou, so let's go, Wei Yan, you and Sun Ce will go together, and you will only succeed here, not fail." ”

After a pause, Liu Xin said again: "Looking at the princes of the world, the most likely to be unfavorable to my Jingzhou is Cao Ying of Yanzhou, Cao Ying is a person with great ambitions, and his subordinates have many strategic ministers and fierce generals, not to be underestimated, Gongming, you lead a road to attack Hangu Pass, after taking Hangu Pass, you can directly attack Hongnong County, enter Luoyang, so that Cao Ying does not dare to act rashly, but do not fight with him, the rest of the generals go straight to Chang'an with me, this time I will take the surname of Dong Zhuo's dog thief." ”

Liu Xin only stayed in Sanguan for half an hour, then led the army to hurry to Chang'an, and after a short walk, the sky gradually became overcast, and there were big dark clouds floating in the sky, and the team was just able to see the city wall of Chencang County.

Cheng Yu looked up at the sky and said to Liu Xin: "Lord, this rain seems to be coming a lot, why don't you stop in Chencang and wait for the rain to stop." ”

Liu Xin shook his head and said: "Time waits for no one, the princes must have known that I am not in Xiangyang now, it is inevitable that someone is plotting against me, and the matter here must be closed as soon as possible, so let's do it, you gentlemen, especially Fengxiao's health has not been good, just wait in Chencang, and the rest will go to Chang'an with me." ”

Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "Since the lord insists on going, then his subordinates will accompany the lord to go together, the lord can rest assured, his subordinates' health is very good, and they can still withstand a little wind and rain, so let Fengxiao and the others stay first." ”

Guo Jia said unconvinced: "Lord, I'm fine, I'll go with you." ”

The horsewhip in Liu Xin's hand pointed in the direction of Chen Cang, and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, there is a task entrusted to you, you take a team of men and horses to take this city, and in addition, take care of the two gentlemen of Heterogeneity and Gongtai." ”

Chen Gong and Kuai Yue also knew that Guo Jia was not in good health, Liu Xin actually wanted Guo Jia to stay first, and he was also moved by Liu Xin's ability to care so much about his subordinates, and persuaded together: "Fengxiao, it's not too early, hurry up and prepare for the siege." ”

Guo Jia couldn't insist anymore, arched his hand at Liu Xin, and led a team of people to Chen Cang with Chen Gong and Kuai Yue.

Liu Xin led the military horses around Chen Cang to continue to kill Chang'an, not long after, the raindrops of beans fell, the soldiers of the three armies were unmoved, marched forward in the rain, the rain became heavier and heavier, the surrounding white expanse, the road was already a muddy under the trampling of people and horses, difficult and difficult to walk, however, marching and fighting in all kinds of bad weather, it was nothing to these soldiers of the regular army, and they did not know how many times they had experienced it in the regular training.

However, because Chang'an has been abandoned for many years, Dong Zhuo only cares about living a luxurious life for himself, and has not spent great efforts to repair the surrounding roads, most of the roads are already rugged, and it is even more difficult and dangerous to be poured down by heavy rain, which has brought a lot of trouble to the team's march, especially a large number of baggage and war horses often fall into the mud and cannot move, even Liu Xin's mount is also stuck in the mud.

Liu Xin jumped off his horse and said loudly: "The cavalry and the baggage team chose the high ground to camp, and the rest of the people only brought a day's dry food, and all traveled lightly, Zhongde, you also stayed." ”

Cheng Yu touched the rain on his face and said firmly: "Lord, I will walk with you." ”

Liu Xin knew that now was not the time to bother, so he nodded and said, "Zhongde, be careful on your own road, and stop and rest by yourself if you feel that you can't do it." ”

At noon, when Liu Xin came to Chang'an City, the gate of Chang'an City was wide open, and the defenders did not notice anything unusual, who would have thought that in such bad weather, there would be people who would run for a long distance.

Huang Zhong was the first to open the way, and the first to rush into Chang'an City, the Chixia knife in his hand suddenly flipped over, and it was put on the neck of the sergeant guarding the city gate, and asked sharply: "Who are you, and what direction is the palace?" ”

It turned out that Huang Zhong saw at a glance that there was something wrong in Chang'an City, these soldiers guarding the city gate were all dressed in cloth, and the swords and guns in their hands were all dilapidated, and even one person was holding a dung fork in his hand, where was there a little bit of the appearance of the Beijing army,

The soldier said tremblingly: "A good man spares his life, I am just a strong man in the city, Lord Situ Wang has already taken the emperor to Luoyang, there is not a single soldier in the city, it was Lord Taifu Yang and Lord Sikong Huang who gathered us." ”

Liu Xin was stunned, it turned out that Liu Xie had been taken to Luoyang by Wang Yun, which is now Cao Ying's territory, and he was simply throwing himself into the tiger's mouth, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Dong Zhuo's old thief now." ”

Minzhuang, who was temporarily serving as a soldier guarding the city, looked at Liu Xin with a shocked face and asked worriedly, "Who are you?" ”

Liu Xin's face softened, and he said with a smile: "Brother, don't be afraid, I am Liu Xin, the pastor of Jingzhou, I raised troops this time only to crusade against Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie, and the people must have committed no crimes, let's say, did Dong Thief return to Chang'an." ”

Minzhuang knelt down in the muddy water with a "plop", and said excitedly: "Oh, you are Lord Liu, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we finally hope for you, you must save us, I am kowtowing to you here, Dong Zhuo, that old thief, can make us miserable." ”

It turned out that most of the people in Chang'an City were forcibly relocated from Luoyang by Dong Zhuo, and their meager family property had been almost looted by those Xiliang soldiers on the road, and they had to bear heavy labor and taxes, which was almost to the point where they couldn't survive.

Liu Xin also knew a little about the situation here, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "Brother, you can rest assured in the future, as long as I, Liu Xin, still have a breath, I must let everyone live a good life." ”

With tears in his eyes, the man suddenly said, "Master Liu, I took you to the Taishi Mansion and raided Dong Zhuo's house. ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, you take me to the palace first." ”

Cheng Yu rushed over panting from behind and said loudly: "The lord is slow, this matter must not be allowed." ”
