However, it is said that when Zhang Ji led the crowd back to Chang'an, Li Dao and Guo Yan fought more than a dozen games in a row, and both sides had their own victories and defeats, and tens of thousands of people died. During this period, Li Dao's general Yang Feng Zeng had good words and admonished, but Li Dao did not listen, and Yang Feng was scolded for his stink.

Yang Feng was depressed, and then at Xu Huang's suggestion, he planned to assassinate Li Dao. However, the news leaked accidentally, resulting in the plan not being successful. As a result, Yang Feng led his subordinates to rebel against Li Dao, and connected with Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others, intending to escort Liu Xiedong's return.

It happened that Zhang Ji rushed to mediate the conflict between Li and Guo, but Jia Xu suggested that he move the Son of Heaven to Hongnong. Zhang Ji felt that this move was very beneficial to him, so he adopted Jia Xu's suggestion.

At this time, Jia Xu saw that Li Dao and Guo Yan were fighting all day long, and they refused to pay attention to the overall situation, and felt that it was really difficult for the two of them to become atmospheric. Therefore, he plans to rely on Zhang Ji.

Subsequently, Liu Xie sent envoys to Li Dao and Guo Yan's camp to convey his intention to move to Hongnong with Zhang Ji. At first, both of them disagreed, believing that once the Son of Heaven left, they would lose their advantageous trump card in their hands. Liu Xie repeatedly sent envoys more than ten times, and finally persuaded the two after Jia Xu lobbied them.

After that, Li and Guo planned to reconcile and agreed to exchange their sons as hostages. But Li Wei's wife loved her son very much and refused to agree, so the agreement could not be fulfilled. Immediately, Li Dao privately instructed the leaders of the Qiang and Hu tribes to lead people to Liu Xie's camp, intending to prevent the return to the east.

Liu Xie felt uneasy, so he asked Jia Xu to think of countermeasures to send Qiang and Hu leaders away. Jia Xu suggested: "The Qiang and Hu tribes have always been mercenary, and they can send them away with their wealth. ”

Immediately afterwards he set up a feast for the two chiefs, promising to confer titles and rewards, and let them go away with their people at once.

In this regard, the two leaders still felt that it was not enough, so they said: "General Li promised to reward women, where are those women now?" ”

So, Jia Xu asked Liu Xie for instructions and selected some palace people from the camp to give to them. Liu collaborated. Then the two leaders picked people in the camp, and when they saw which one they saw, they immediately ordered them to be carried away. Among them, there is a person named Cai Yan, whose name is Zhaoji, and is the daughter of the late Cai Yong, the general of Zuo Zhonglang. When the demands of the two chieftains were satisfied, they departed with their people in triumph.

Without the help of the Qiang and Hu races, Li Dao was alone, so he had to make peace with Guo Yan again, and exchanged his daughter as a hostage. As a result, Liu Xie's car was able to return east. After that, Li Wei led his army north to camp in Chiyang.

Speaking of which, Feng Xian and I are now competing for power in the Kanto region, and Liu Xie's intention to return to the east means that he intends to rely on us. Although no one else knew about this matter, when Guo Yan learned about the current situation in Kanto from Zhang Ji, he immediately became vigilant. Just in case, he wanted to move Liu Xie to Gaoling County, where Zuo Fengsa was.

In this regard, Zhang Ji disagreed, believing that he should move to Hongnong at this moment, and received the unanimous support of the minister. But both sides insisted on their own words and refused to budge. So Liu Xie sent someone to tell Guo Yan that he moved Hongnong only because it was closer to the Zongmiao and it was more convenient to worship, and he had no other intentions.

Guo Yan didn't believe what Liu Xie said, so he insisted on moving him to Gaoling. In this regard, Liu Xie couldn't help but be angry for a while, and wanted to force Guo Yan to comply through a hunger strike. And the crime of forcing the Son of Heaven to death, Guo Yan didn't dare to bear it, so he had to compromise and wait until he got to the nearby city to discuss.

However, the further he went, the more uneasy Guo Yan's heart became, so he took Empress Fushou as a hostage and wanted to coerce Liu Xie to go west. In this regard, Liu Xie was deeply angry, but he was helpless for a while. And it happened that Shizhong Chongji bumped into Guo Yan's conspiracy, so he hurriedly went to inform Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, and Yang Feng, asking them to quickly gather soldiers and horses to come to protect them.

Guo Yan's conspiracy was revealed, and the number of troops in his hands was less than three people, so he abandoned his troops and fled into the mountains and forests. Immediately, Liu Xie's car was temporarily able to continue westward.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao learned that we had formed an alliance with Liu Bei, so they changed their strategy again. On the one hand, he sent people to the west to inform Zhang Ji, and on the other hand, Cao Cao divided his troops to attack Yongqiu. Because Yongqiu is too far away from us, and there is a Yuan Shao in the middle, we can't lead the troops to rescue in time. So, Zhang Miao hurried to Shouchun and asked Yuan Shu to send troops for help.

In response to Zhang Miao's request, Yuan Shu diverted the topic and said: "Now that the Han family has sunset, do you feel that you can still be saved?" ”

Zhang Miao couldn't help but ask strangely: "What does Yuan Yuanjun mean by this?" ”

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "My Yuan family is deeply benevolent, highly respected, and many heroes in the world belong to it; Why didn't the two generals also join the road? ”

When Zhang Miao heard this, he immediately felt a little surprised, but said: "What does the gentleman mean by his words, is it to establish himself and dominate the industry?" ”

Yuan Shu asked rhetorically: "Don't you think it's okay?" ”

Zhang Miao was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said: "Although the Han family is in decline now, it will one day prosper again; The Yuan family has been favored by the Han family for several generations, but your Excellency does not want to serve the country in your heart, and you also try to turn your back on the Lord, this is really an unfaithful and unrighteous person! The two generals had received the favor of the Han family, and they should have the idea of rectifying the country in their hearts, how could they be in the same league with such an ungrateful person as you? As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other; Now that Your Excellency has found another purpose, Zhang Mengzhuo is no longer bothered, so I will leave! ”

Zhang Miao's words refuted Yuan Shu's face. Although it is not a wrong thing to be self-reliant, it can't help but seem a little selfish. The world should be the world of the people of the world, not the world of one person. Even if we welcome back the Son of Heaven in the future, we will inevitably reform those unreasonable systems.

After Zhang Miao left, Yuan Shu was worried that Zhang Miao would inform Feng Xian and us of his intentions, which would make the two of us resentful of him. So he sent his subordinate sergeants to disguise themselves as assassins and ambush Zhang Miao in the middle of the road.

At this time, we also made an appointment with Liu Bei. From Feng Xian and I to the west to attack Yuan Shao in Changyi; Liu Bei sent an army to attack Taishan County and was responsible for pinning down the enemy troops in the north. However, unexpectedly, when Feng Xian and I led our troops westward, Liu Bei did not send troops together as agreed, resulting in the rear of our army being attacked by Xiahoudun and Yu Forbidden Department.

Due to the critical situation, Zhang Liao had no choice but to abandon the flawed hill and lead the crowd to rescue Rencheng. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by Le Jin and Li Dian halfway, causing Ren Cheng to be in danger. At this time, Feng Xian and I were also fighting with Yuan Shao's army in Changyi, and wanted to immediately withdraw the army and go back to rescue, but they were dragged by Yuan Shao's soldiers and couldn't get out for a while.

Just when it was extremely critical, I rode into Yuan Shao's main formation alone, intending to capture the thief and capture the king with one move. But Yuan Shao seemed to have expected this move for a long time, and while constantly commanding the soldiers around him to come up and besiege me, and on the other hand, he kept moving to a safe place, which made me tired all the time.

It's not that I don't have the ability to take Yuan Shao's head among the ten thousand armies, but the other party has already been prepared, and the number of people who came to besiege him is too large, so I can't get close to him for a while. In addition, all the soldiers were also fighting hard at this time, and the number of dead and wounded began to gradually increase, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, I had to give up the idea of killing Yuan Shao, and instead concentrate on breaking through with Feng Xian.

We killed all the way back in the direction of Rencheng, and we encountered Yuan Shao's ambush soldiers everywhere we passed. This road is the only way for us to go back, and although we can know in advance where the ambush is, we have to bite the bullet. At this moment, God can only block and kill God, and the devil can block and kill demons.

But when we rushed hundreds of miles to the boundary of Rencheng, the city gate had already been breached. Chen Gong, Hao Meng and others, who were in charge of defending the city, were all fighting hard against the enemy, and even Zhang Jing and Ye Xi were also contributing their meager strength to defend this last piece of homeland. At this moment, everyone stopped thinking about anything, only thinking about killing or driving away the enemy in front of them. (To be continued.) )
