In the past, with his own strength, against the alliance army of the eighteenth princes of the Kwantung Route, Dong Zhuo, who single-handedly controlled the government of the Han Dynasty, was killed by the Son of Heaven, which was of great significance to the entire Han Dynasty, and this news had spread throughout the north and south of the Han Dynasty in less than a month, and the princes from all walks of life reacted differently.

……

In Guanzhong, although Dong Zhuo died, there were still tens of thousands of troops in the Xiliang Army, and the generals led by the three giants Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji began a meeting one after another.

Outside Chang'an City, the right place to support the wind, Changling.

Above the lobby, Li Dao, as the master, is in the first place, and on the left and right sides are Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, the two giants of the Western Liang Army, Dong Zhuo is dead, and among the Western Liang Army, these three people are the most powerful and have the highest status.

On the left and right, more than a dozen generals of the Xiliang Army sat in columns, one of which was Fan Chou, who escaped from Chang'an back then.

Although Fan Chou was at the same level as Li Dao before, because he was more trusted by Dong Zhuo, he guarded Chang'an, and his status was even above a few people, but in the battle of Chang'an, his troops were all lost, and now he, in the Xiliang Army, is at most an ordinary military Sima, and there are less than 1,000 old soldiers under his command.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiangguo is dead, and now Chang'an is under Lu Bu's control, and the imperial court has regarded us as a rebel, and a certain family has summoned you to come just to discuss, where should we go in the future?"

Li Wei's face was heavy, his eyes were cold and awe-inspiring, he glanced at everyone and asked in a cold voice.

When the generals heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and one by one they began to look heavy, bowed their heads in contemplation, and did not continue to speak, but thought about it for a long time, and did not express their thoughts until a quarter of an hour later.

"Either we combine our forces and fight back to Chang'an."

"Now that Lu Bu is in Chang'an, and he has the order of the Son of Heaven, he has 100,000 elite soldiers, how can we be the enemy?"

"Why don't you surrender, maybe the Son of Heaven will pardon us?"

"Hard to say!"

"I'm afraid the Son of Heaven will hate us!"

The generals of Xiliang who are sitting here are basically in a dilemma, if they want to avenge Dong Zhuo, they don't have this thought, and now they want to save their lives, they want to surrender, some are afraid of the court's investigation, they want to attack Chang'an, and they are afraid of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiangguo is as kind to us as a mountain, how can you be ungrateful, how can this revenge not be avenged!" When Fan Chou heard this, his face turned cold, and he immediately stood up and drank loudly.

"Hehehe, General Fan, you don't have to worry, where will the Xiliang Army go in the future, we still listen to the opinions of their three generals!" A Xiliang general looked at Fan Chou, sneered a few times, and said with a bit of yin and yang.

In the past, Fan Chou was high and offended many people, but now he is down, there are no more than a thousand soldiers, and there are no charcoal in the snow, but if you want to say that those who fall into the well, they will catch a lot of them.

"You?" Fan Chou's eyes widened, and he was furious.

"Okay, we are all generals of Xiliang, at such a critical moment, you can't fight in the nest, both generals sit down!" Zhang Ji's face was soft, warm as jade, and his temper was the best, as soon as he was born, several people suddenly quieted down.

"Brother Li, Brother Guo, now that the shape is severe, how is it good, please give you an idea!" Zhang Ji stared at the two of them and said in a low voice, his troops are less than those of Guo Yan and Li Ji, so he naturally will not come out.

"Hehe, a spy in Chang'an City has received the news, and the Son of Heaven has issued an order to punish all of us Liangzhou people." Li Dao groaned for a while, and then said leisurely.

This meeting was personally led by him, and his attitude was very resolute from the beginning. Lu Bu of Chang'an is an enemy and will never surrender!

In fact, when Dong Zhuo just died, he was also worried, after all, Dong Zhuo was dead, how could these people fight against Lu Bu in Chang'an.

He even thought about returning to Xiliang with his soldiers to avoid the extermination of the imperial court, or surrendering to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an and offering his troops to save his life, but he was fortunate to have a reminder from one of his commands, Jia Xu.

Let him make up his mind to counterattack Chang'an.

Jia Xu is right, these generals are Dong Zhuo's henchmen and generals, they were born and died with Dong Zhuo, and now that the court is in power, how can they let them go?

In this case, if you don't want to die, you can only strike first.

A cold glint crossed Li Dao's eyes, smiled faintly, and said: "The Son of Heaven is not benevolent, we will naturally not be captured, a certain Li Dao is the main battle, unites all the soldiers and horses of Xiliang, enters Chang'an, kills Lu Bu Wang Yun, avenges Xiangguo, and then ...... Serve the country to uphold the world. ”

At this time, at the back of the lobby, within the cover of a screen, a middle-aged Confucian student sat quietly, hearing this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a contemptuous smile, and then in a voice that only he could hear, he muttered: "Serve the country to uphold the world?" I don't think I'm going to do it, Xiliang doesn't have this hero anymore! ”

This was the word he used to persuade Li Dao to take the lead in attacking Chang'an, which made Li Dao ambitious.

"A certain family agreed, since the Son of Heaven does not give us vitality, we will send troops to attack Chang'an and correct the world." Guo Yan took a deep breath, and his eyes burst out with a touch of ambition.

"Since this is the case, I don't object, within a few days, I will definitely have all the soldiers and horses under my command and enter Chang'an!" Zhang Ji nodded.

"That's right! Enter Chang'an! ”

Now that the three giants of the Xiliang Army have been decided, the matter has been decided, and these Xiliang generals will naturally not object, but one by one they are even more warlike and ambitious.

In the screen of the back hall, the middle-aged Confucian showed a bright smile and said in a low voice: "This matter has been decided, this can be regarded as a certain contribution to the Xiliang soldiers, the mourning soldiers will win, Wang Yun and Lu Bu will not understand, what kind of battle will break out in order for the people of Liangzhou to survive, Chang'an has fallen, as for what he will do, I can't care about it." ”

………………………………

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao has been fighting repeatedly with Gongsun Chan of Youzhou recently, winning less and losing more, under the cavalry of Gongsun Chan's white horse Yi who comes and goes like the wind and has strong combat power, although he has many generals, but he is still at a disadvantage.

Just when he was thinking about how to use foot soldiers to restrain Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, he received a change in Chang'an.

"Dong Zhuo is dead?" Above the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, Yuan Shao glared, a little surprised.

"My lord, news has come from Chang'an that Dong Zhuo was beheaded by the Son of Heaven and Lu Bu Wang Yun, and the Weiyang Palace, and the violent corpse in Dongshi." On Yuan Shao's left, Chief Strategist Tian Feng nodded and said in a low voice.

"Hahaha, Dong Zhongying, you also have today." Yuan Shao laughed, sweeping away the gloom before.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo is no longer important, the most important thing now is the Son of Heaven." Another important strategist next to him raised his head and reminded him softly.

"Son of Heaven?"

Yuan Shao frowned, the corners of his mouth hooked up a contemptuous smile, and said coldly: "Liu Xie is just a milky and dry child, what can he do, his emperor is the young emperor's, he is just a puppet of Dong Thief." ”

For Liu Xie, Yuan Shao did not have the slightest respect, for him Yuan Shao, when the son of heaven Liu Wei died, the Han Dynasty had no orthodox emperor.

"My lord, don't underestimate the Son of Heaven."

Tian Feng stared at Yuan Shao with his eyes, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "If before, we could treat him as Dong Zhuo's puppet and disrespect his holy decree, then now, Dong Zhuo is dead, he is the rightful Son of Heaven, if we are still the world of the Han Dynasty, if we are disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, we will be disrespected." ”

"Yuan Hao, do you mean that we in Jizhou want to respect Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven?" Yuan Shao's face froze, and he said coldly.

"That's right!" Tian Feng nodded: "The Son of Heaven is the bloodline of the first emperor, no matter how he ascended the throne in the first place, now he is the only Son of Heaven in the Han Dynasty." ”

"Lord, we now have Gongsun Zan in the north and Cao Cao in the south, and it is necessary to be friendly with the Son of Heaven!"

Fu Zhu looked resolute, and said with a firm gaze: "At least, in the current form, we can't let the Son of Heaven stand on the opposite side of us, if we let Gongsun Chan and Cao Cao take the will of the Son of Heaven to crusade against us, we will fall into two sides of the enemy." ”

"You're right!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face suddenly became cautious, now he is not the northern overlord who occupies the four states of Hebei, he does not have that kind of complacency, and he can still listen to the advice of his henchmen and advisers, and said: "In this way, we will send an envoy to Chang'an to present gifts to show the loyalty of Jizhou." ”

"No!" When the two heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

………………

At the same time, Cao Cao, the new assassin of Yanzhou in Dongjun, also prepared a team of envoys, brought gifts, and set off for Chang'an to show Yanzhou's loyalty.

Today's Cao Cao is not the famous Cao Cao who was in the Kwantung Alliance.

Although Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo and Jiao Zhaoju princes and became famous in the world, his troops were too small and he was not ranked among the princes of the world.

And now Cao Cao, in February of the beginning of the year, the first army division under his command, Xi Zhicai, subdued millions of Qingzhou yellow turbans, and also selected tens of thousands of young and strong to form Qingzhou soldiers.

Cao Cao even controlled Yanzhou in one fell swoop, and also occupied Yingchuan and Chen Liu, Yuzhou, with a vast territory and nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, which is already one of the best princes in the world.
