However, he said that Yuan Shao had previously recommended Zang Hong to the imperial court as the Taishou of Dongjun, and by the way, he also presented a note saying that we colluded with Gongsun Zhan to steal Yanzhou and wanted to plot against him. Immediately, the imperial court issued an edict appointing Yuan Shao as the right general and ordering him to assist Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, to continue to recover Yanzhou. Yuan Shao received the order, and once again led the army to Yanzhou to help in the battle. In this regard, Gongsun Chan had nothing to say for a while.

After that, we fought several more battles with the combined forces of Yuan and Cao. Although they had the advantage in numbers, we had powerful weapons such as explosives and return guns, so the next few battles ended in their defeat. After that, they also stopped the attack, and the two armies were temporarily deadlocked, and the situation was still slightly advantageous for us at the moment.

Subsequently, Li Dao and others learned that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were unfavorable to pacify Yanzhou, so they planned to send people to help in the war. At that time, Fan Chou planned to send troops to Kanto and asked Li Dao to increase the number of troops for his troops. Li Dao ostensibly agreed, but at the practice banquet before the expedition, he set up an ambush to kill Fan Chou and annexed Fan Chou's troops. Then, Zhang Ji was reassigned to lead 10,000 foot cavalry to help in the battle.

The reason why Li Dao sent troops to help Yuan and Cao was that he was worried that Feng Xian and I would gradually grow stronger, and secondly, he wanted to win over Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The reason why Yuan Shao and Cao Cao ostensibly submitted to the imperial court was also due to the urgency of the current situation, forcing them to look for foreign aid.

It can be said that this is an inevitable consequence of the role of politics. But if Li Dao hadn't suddenly inserted such a lever into it, it would only be a matter of time for us to defeat the combined forces of Yuan and Cao.

The so-called misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. A thing has its disadvantages, and naturally there will be its advantages.

Li Wei's killing of Fan Chou, although it got rid of his so-called big trouble, it also aroused the suspicion of other generals. At this time, the strongest people in the DPRK and China were Li Dao and Guo Yan. Li Wei was also worried that his previous actions would arouse Guo Yan's suspicions. On the contrary, he was used by others to deal with himself, so he set up a banquet at home, hoping to strengthen the relationship between him and Guo Yan through a banquet.

It is said that there is a maid in Li Wei's family, who is very beautiful, has an outstanding temperament, and can sing and dance. She was the most popular brand in Fangze Pavilion at the beginning - Lai Ying'er.

At the beginning, when the capital was moved, the girls in Fangze Pavilion were also among the migrants. And Li Dao had already heard about Ying'er's deeds, and he admired her demeanor very much. Thereupon. He took advantage of the opportunity to migrate and snatched Ying'er away as his concubine.

And this time Guo Yan was invited to the banquet, and Li Wei asked Ying'er to accompany the banquet and perform a dance. For her unearthly appearance and temperament that does not eat the fireworks of the world, Guo Yan also felt very amazing and obsessed.

After that, Li Dao invited Guo Yan several times in a row, and Guo Yan happily went to the banquet. In this regard, Guo Yan's wife began to be unhappy when she found out. wanted to provoke the relationship between him and Li Dao.

Once, Li Wei ordered someone to bring food, but Guo Yan happened to be absent. Guo Yan's wife secretly mixed poison into the food, and then told Guo Yan that Li Wei wanted to harm him. And the previous banquet was just to dispel his vigilance, as the so-called "one mountain does not allow two tigers". In this regard, Guo Yan felt a little suspicious.

Later, Li Dao hosted a banquet for Guo Yan. In order to test Li Dao's sincerity, Guo Yan asked Li Dao to give Ying'er to himself in the future. on this. Li Wei felt very angry and thought that Guo Yan's move was too rude. As a result, the relationship between the two began to turn sour, and troops were deployed to attack each other and fight in Chang'an City.

Immediately, Liu Xie sent an envoy to mediate the conflict between the two, but neither of them would obey. Subsequently, Guo Yan planned to kidnap Liu Xie to his military camp, but accidentally leaked the news and learned about it for Li Wei. Therefore, Li Dao first sent his nephew Li Xian to lead thousands of soldiers to surround the palace, and then planned to kidnap Liu Xie into his own camp.

In this regard, Taiwei Yang Biao said dissatisfiedly: "Since ancient times, no emperor has lived in the courtier's house, how can you act so inconsiderately? ”

Li Xian said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is the meaning of the general of the chariot!" ”

Liu Xie and the courtiers felt helpless and had no choice but to comply. Subsequently, Liu Xie and his ministers left the palace and went to Li Wei's camp. And Li Wei's soldiers took the opportunity to enter the palace and plunder the palace maids and daily things. When Liu Xie arrived at Li Dao's camp, Li Dao immediately ordered people to move all the baggage stored in the treasury to his camp, and then burned the palace with a fire.

Liu Xie and the ministers were indignant about Li Dao's banditry, and even Jia Xu blamed Li Dao for acting like this. But Li Dao did whatever he wanted, arrogant and unreasonable, leaving everyone helpless.

Subsequently, Liu Xie had no choice but to send the minister to persuade Guo Yan, hoping to mediate the conflict between the two. However, Guo Yan detained all the ministers in his camp and insisted on confronting Li Dao. In this regard, Zhu Jun was angry for a while, causing him to vomit blood and die in a hurry.

On April 23, Liu Xie's nobleman Fu Shou was made empress, and his father, Nakafu Wan, was appointed as the ruling Jinwu.

Guo Yan also held a banquet to entertain the ministers who had been detained by him, and planned to discuss the matter of attacking Li Dao. In this regard, Yang Biao said in a bad tone: "The two of you are vying for power, one is holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and the other is holding the Minister hostage; Do you think it's okay to do such nonsense? ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he said: "It was Li Dao who wanted to harm me first, should I be arrested and killed?" ”

Yang Biao snorted lightly and said, "Li Dao is not a good thing, and you are not far behind." ”

Guo Yan was immediately furious, pulled out his saber and scolded: "You damn old guy, believe it or not, the uncle slaughtered you with a knife!" ”

Yang Biao was unmoved, but said: "You don't even care about the Son of Heaven, am I still afraid of being killed by you?" ”

"Damn it, see if I don't hack you old fellow!" Guo Yan was immediately angry and wanted to take a knife and step forward to cut Yang Biao.

Zhonglang on the side, Yang Mi, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "The general is angry; The general must not kill Captain Yang, otherwise Li Dao will have an excuse for the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to kill you. ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he immediately calmed down, and immediately pointed a knife at Yang Biao and said: "You old guy listen to the uncle, and the next time the uncle hears you say such things, the uncle will kill your son!" ”

Although Yang Biao was indignant in his heart, he was controlled by others at this time, so he had to remain silent.

When Li Wei learned that Guo Yan had detained all the ministers in his hands, he summoned thousands of people from Qiang and Hu to come and reward them with their property, asking them to attack Guo Yan, and promised to reward them with women after the deed was completed. However, Zhang Bao, the lieutenant general under Li Dao, secretly colluded with Guo Yan and prepared to attack Li Dao with the outside world.

On the night of the 25th, Guo Yan led the army to attack the camp, but Li Wei did not wear armor and hurriedly led the troops to resist. saw that Guo Yan suddenly shot an arrow towards Li Dao, and the arrow pierced Li Dao's left ear, and then shot into Liu Xie's tent, startling the queen Fu Shou.

Liu Xie protected her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Hmm." Fu Shou answered, and immediately felt a burst of warmth.

After Li Dao was shot in the left ear, he immediately screamed in pain, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn Guo Duo, uncle and you are incompatible!" Immediately, he was hurriedly helped aside for healing.

At that time, Zhang Bao planned to set fire to Li Wei's camp to create chaos, but it happened that Zhonglang's general Yang Feng and Captain Xu Huang led the crowd to come to the aid and launched a surprise attack on Guo Yan's rear formation, so Guo Yan had to lead his troops to retreat. Seeing that the plan failed, Zhang Bao led his subordinates to flee to Guo Yan.

After that, Li Wei moved Liu Xie to the North Dock and sent the captain Xu Huang to guard the dock door to cut off Liu Xie's contact with the outside world.

Since the ministers haven't eaten anything good recently, Liu Xie wants to ask Li Dao for some rice and beef bones, and boil soup for everyone to eat to replenish his body. However, Li Dao was really a little picky, and only sent a few stinky cow bones over.

In this regard, Liu Xie was furious: "This hateful Li Dao dares to bully me like this; I'm going to ask him, but I really want to rebel! ”

But Yang Qi hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty must not; He knew that he had committed the capital crime of rebellion, and if His Majesty wanted to provoke him, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not do anything unfavorable to His Majesty; He intends to move His Majesty to Huangbai City, and asks His Majesty to be patient for the time being. ”

Liu Xie sighed deeply, so he had to give up for the time being.

The battle between Li Dao and Guo Yan was still endless, and Liu Xie sent people to persuade Li Dao and Guo Yan several times in a row. In the end, Guo Yan planned to obey, but Li Dao refused to agree to reconcile because of his injuries, and threatened to kill Guo Yan. And Huangfu Li persuaded Li Dao, and also took Dong Zhuo's matter as an example. As a result, Li Dao was furious and ordered someone to drive him away. Later, Li Wei sent Wang Chang, the tiger guard, to kill Huangfu Li, but Liu Xie stopped him from the side, and Wang Chang did not dare to disobey the order of the Son of Heaven, so he let Huangfu Li escape.

However, he said that the previous disaster had finally passed, and the growth of wheat this year was still good compared to last year. The days of suffering are coming to an end, and there is no need for everyone to continue to tighten their belts. However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Whether we can turn the tide and change the final direction of history is the next battle.
