Competing with the top heroes of the Three Kingdoms is something that Wang Yu has always been looking forward to.

Prior to this, although the two sides had also fought wits and strength, both sides had their own scruples at that time, and it could only be regarded as a tentative fight, rather than a real life-and-death fight.

Now, the pinnacle showdown is about to take place.

To Wang Yu's surprise, the opponent he had to face first was not Cao Cao, the strongest and closest to him, but the Xiliang Ma family, which was the most controversial among the Three Kingdoms.

Wang Yu learned from the messenger sent by Jia Xu that while he was busy with the preparations for the second grandson to leave the fortress, the others were not idle, and Cao Cao's trip to Guanzhong was very fruitful, first receiving Duan Xuan's 30,000 Yongliang pawns, and then in the siege of Chang'an, he successfully rebelled against Guo Yan through the inner response in the city.

Like a chain reaction, Guo Yan immediately persuaded Fan Chou, only Li Wei firmly rejected Guo Yan's proposal, threatening to live up to Dong Zhuo's kindness, and persuaded his old partner to turn back.

Dong Zhuo is trapped in Chang'an, which seems to be a dead end,

Li Dao's resolute decision was exchanged for a stab in the back of his old partner - either out of anger from shame, or worried about Li Dao, leaked the news, Guo Yan was submissive on the surface, and secretly killed him.

Li Dao is also a famous general in the Three Kingdoms era, he has defeated Lu Bu and Ma Teng in history, and he is a fierce man like Sun Jian.

Although Wang Yu covered the limelight in this life, Li Dao's death was still too unjust. He never thought that there was a strong city like Chang'an City that could be defended. The grain and grass in the city are enough to eat for two or three years, how can the old partner Guo Yan think that the prime minister is dead. Didn't you save it?

Even Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. In history, Li Dao's death seems to be quite aggrieved, just like fate. In a sense, this person is also a pure martial artist, if used properly, he may not be the backbone of the country, but when he is involved in this unpredictable troubled world, he can't even go with the flow.

The emotion brought by Li Dao was just a small episode, and what really caught Wang Yu's attention was the process and result of the battle in Guanzhong.

Li Dao is dead. Guo Yan also didn't do anything, and when he gathered his subordinates, he said that Dong Zhuo's boat was about to capsize, and those who wanted to live would abandon the darkness and turn to the light with him. On the other side, Feishu sent a message to Cao Cao, informing the other party of the changes in the city, saying that he would raise things in advance.

Guo Yan has always been Li Wei's deputy in the past, Li Wei's headquarters soldiers and horses are no strangers to him, and the composition of Dong Zhuojun's army is destined to not have too many loyal people in the army. Li Weijun dropped most of it on the spot.

The only ones who refused to give in were Li Wei's sons, nephews, and henchmen, who knew that even if they fell, they would only have a dead end, so they escaped long before Guo Yan blocked the barracks.

Guo Yan doesn't know, but his personality is not good. However, his attainments in military strategy are not much worse than Li Dao's, and he has a very clear grasp of the situation.

He knew what Cao Cao wanted.

When Dong Zhuo was at his peak, he had six major military departments under his command. They were led by six Zhonglang generals, namely Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, and Hu Zhen. Lu Bu and Xu Rong.

Lü Bu's troops were the border troops who went south with him from Bingzhou, and Xu Rong's troops were the northern army of Luoyang. Hu Zhen commanded a miscellaneous team, including the Hu soldiers sent by the Qiang people of Yongliang, as well as part of Dong Zhuo's split northern army, plus bandits and bandits who surrendered and rebelled. Duan Xuan's subordinates were the pure Han Yongliang border army.

The nominal six lieutenant generals, in fact, Dong Zhuo can really be trusted, and there are only two and a half people he can rely on. Niu Fu is his son-in-law, Dong Yue is his nephew, and Hu Zhen was single-handedly pulled up by him from the ranks, but the troops are too miscellaneous and have little combat effectiveness.

The descendant team, of course, must take care of it. Over the years, Dong Zhuo's investment in other military systems has not even been a fraction of that in the troops of the descendant lineage, and Lu Bu was full of resentment because of this, and when he got the opportunity, he went out instead.

But on another level, if someone wants to accept Dong Zhuo's legacy, the most essential part is, of course, these two descendant troops.

Niu Fu was bullied into a scum by Wang Yu in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was angry, and he was pushed to the end, and directly sent to Wuguan to be a companion with Hu Zhen, who was also made miserable by Wang Yu. If Li Ru hadn't been at ease and went to Wuguan to supervise the battle, the two brothers and sisters would have been ravaged to death by Xiahou Yuan long ago.

The successors to Niu Fu are Li Dao and Guo Yan. In terms of the number of troops that originally belonged to Niu Fu, they were not much stronger than the other troops, with a total of only 25,000 people, of which 10,000 were cavalry, and the rest were foot soldiers, and the total number was not as good as Duan Xuan, who was not a descendant.

Just looking at the numbers, there is really nothing remarkable, the proportion of cavalry in the Xiliang Army is already very high, and those Qianghu horse bandits who come with a bald horse will be counted as cavalry. It is very majestic to claim 100,000 iron cavalry to the outside world, but when it comes to fighting, these cavalry can only scare and scare people.

Cavalry, far from being as simple as riding an individual on a horse. Otherwise, Wang Yu was in Youzhou, and at the same time faced more than 200,000 cavalry from Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Zahu, how could he win?

However, this cavalry under Li Dao is not the kind of rabble that can't even match the bow and iron arrows, but Dong Zhuo has learned from the pain in the past two years and imitated the elite trained by Bai Ma Yi, with the best weapons and equipment, and the riding and archery skills are also the best in the army.

And the foot soldiers are even more remarkable, among which there are 3,000 of them are the Flying Bear Army, which is the full iron armor of Yishui, worn by a big man in the shape of a biao, holding a broadsword and a big axe, which is not much better than Wang Yu's Destruction Battalion back then.

Among the other more than 10,000 people, there were 4,000 crossbowmen, strong bows and crossbows, everything in the army, and the arrows were also abundant. The last eight thousand were half-armored spearmen.

It was a small army of 25,000 people, only half of which was dispatched, and the coalition army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, known as 100,000 iron cavalry, was easily taken in Bashang, if Cao Cao had not changed his strategy in time and attracted 100,000 Qianghu to participate in the battle, Ma and Han would not even dare to have the idea of revenge.

Fighting a war is logistics, and the most important thing in logistics is grain, grass and equipment, Ma Teng and Han Sui's martial arts and art of war may not be bad, but what they lack is equipment, how can they beat Dong Zhuo's troops who are armed to the teeth?

After Cao Cao besieged the city, he was not in a hurry to attack, but was busy using high-ranking officials to win over Dong Zhuojun's generals, combined with the general trend of the world, if Guo Yan still couldn't guess that the other party was not interested in Chang'an City, but Dong Zhuo's family background, then he was not worthy of Dong Zhuo's favor.

Guo Yan's thinking is very clear, he doesn't care what will happen to Chang'an City, as long as he completely holds this descendant army in his hands, he will not worry about Cao Cao not fulfilling his promise. Li Wei's sons and nephews ran away, and they ran away, and the big deal was a scuffle.

If they don't leave and get into trouble, these people are deeply rooted in the army and have some influence, and if they make trouble in the camp, it will be a big mess. If this elite is damaged, then what is the use of him taking refuge in the past? Who can guarantee that he will not be killed by Cao Cao to vent his anger?

As for the melee, Xu Rong is dead, Lu Bu has already rebelled, Hu Zhen's remnants of the army will be defeated far away in Wuguan, Duan Xuan has also fallen, Li Dao is dead again, the six major Zhonglang generals have gone to the fifth, and now there are only 30,000 people in the city who are loyal to Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Yue's soldiers and horses are also descendants, there are also differences between descendants. According to the internal statement of the Xiliang Army, the Niu Auxiliary Department is the internal department, and the Dong Yue Department is the external department, just think about their identities, the former's main will be the son-in-law Niu Fu, and the deputy will be the younger brother Dong Min and nephew Dong Huang, and Dong Yue is just a family nephew, and the relationship is several levels worse.

In the case of surplus resources, Dong Yue's side still has a score run, but for the sake of building elite troops, no matter how much resources there are, Dong Zhuo is constantly making adjustments according to the opponent's situation - the standard he refers to is the Qingzhou Army, and the output of Guanzhong's territory may not even be one-fifth or even one-tenth of Qingzhou, and the result can be imagined.

Dong Yuebu's equipment is ordinary, and 30,000 pure cavalry sounds terrifying, but in fact, its combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than that of the Ma and Han coalition forces. If there is a fight in Chang'an City, the cavalry will have less room to exert themselves, and Guo Yan will not take Dong Yue in his eyes at all.

Guo Yan can't wait to fight Dong Yue to the death. Since he wants to surrender, the fewer people who share the credit, the better, Duan Xuan's side is unthinkable, if he doesn't force Dong Yue into a corner, he won't have time to surrender at all, where else can he show his own credit?

As for the chaos in the city, the damage caused to Chang'an City and the people of Chang'an, Guo Yan didn't pay attention to it at all. Back then, Prime Minister Dong almost moved the people of Luoyang to Guanzhong, in terms of destructive power, who can compare to Lao Dong?

Thus, a great chaos inevitably unfolded.

Li Wei's son Li Shi fled to the Prime Minister's Mansion with hundreds of henchmen to report the news, Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard the news, and directly led people to Dong Yue's barracks, personally commanded, and wanted to take advantage of Guo Yan's unstable foothold to recapture the descendant army.

Of course, Dong Zhuo knew that Dong Yue's troops and horses could not beat his descendants, he just thought that with the strength of this army and horses, as soon as he appeared, the opposite side would be invincible.

After all, this descendant army was created by him with great painstaking efforts, and even one commander in the army had received him personally and encouraged him in person, so how could his loyalty be poor?

His idea was right, but he couldn't stand Guo Yan's calculations in front of him. On the surface, Guo Yan just stubbornly waited for help, waiting for the Cao army outside the city to respond, in fact, he ambushed nearly a thousand strong crossbowmen under the wall, as soon as Dong Zhuo appeared, Guo Yan gave an order, thousands of arrows were fired, thousands of strong crossbows rolled up a storm, Dong Zhuo's shield array was as thin as paper, and it was torn apart in an instant.

Of course, Dong Zhuo couldn't die anymore, presumably he couldn't close his eyes until he died, who would have thought that he would die under the big rhubarb crossbow that he had saved by saving money?

As soon as Dong Zhuo died, Dong Yue's subordinates suddenly dispersed, some knelt on the ground and asked for surrender, more people were jumping around in the city, and some people were directly killed in the palace under the leadership of Li Shi and others. His purpose is, of course, the Son of Heaven, and at this moment, there is no better hostage than the Son of Heaven.
