Chapter 48: The Coup d'état (I)

Changan.

Ma Teng and Han Sui marched into martial arts, defeating Dong Zhuo's army from the west, shocking Guanzhong and even the Central Plains, and forcing Dong Zhuo to personally lead his troops to meet the battle, which gave those loyal Han forces in Chang'an City an opportunity to take advantage of.

Because the troops of Waima Han were too strong, Dong Zhuo took almost all the Xiliang soldiers, leaving only 10,000 troops to stay in Chang'an, and appointed his nephews Dong Huang and Li Su to be fully responsible for all matters in Chang'an.

Although Dong Zhuo is tyrannical and unreasonable, he is angry and resentful, but after all, he is not a fool, he knows that there is a force against him hidden in Chang'an City, these people lurk in the dark like wolves, waiting for the opportunity, and give themselves a fatal blow, so he repeatedly explained to Dong Huang before leaving, as long as there is a little wind and grass in Chang'an City, he will immediately hold the emperor hostage and kill the ministers who have abnormal movements, and these people must not be allowed to succeed.

The current Chang'an City is calm on the surface, but in fact, it is secretly turbulent.

The people were overjoyed to learn that Ma Teng and Han Sui's princely army had won one after another, and that Dong Zhuo had become a declining trend, and that he would surely perish in time, but this excitement could not be too obvious, because the Xiliang soldiers patrolled every day, and once they found that someone was talking about these current events, they would be killed on the spot, and the people had to bury this joy in their hearts, looking forward to Ma Teng and Han Sui coming in as soon as possible.

Everyone in the clan is starting to move, Ma Teng and Han Sui are good to come in, Dong Zhuo and his atrocities are over, and they must be rewarded for their merits, but what did they do? Have they stood up against Dong Zhuo? No, those who stood up had already been eaten by Dong Zhuo, they just bowed their heads to Dong Zhuo every day, begging to live one more day.

In order to be able to get the most out of the change of days, they acted.

Situ Wang Yun is the most radical among them, it can be seen from the beauty trick that Wang Yun is a man of action, not a person who grinds his mouth, although the beauty trick makes him lose his prestige in the camp of the loyal Han, it does not mean that he cannot get the support of these people.

Sili Lieutenant Huang Wan, Shangshu Zheng Gongye and Wang Yun have been friends for many years, Wang Yun's unyielding fight against the Ten Standing Servants back then, they saw it in their eyes, and after listening to Wang Yun's explanation, they immediately understood.

Sun Rui, the deacon of Jin Wushi, and Yang Zan, the captain of Qiang, were both promoted because of Wang Yun's protection, and both of them held a certain amount of military power and were loyal supporters of Wang Yun.

With the support of these people, Wang Yun's side quickly formed a force and occupied a place in the turbulent Chang'an City.

When Dong Zhuo was leaving, he explained to Dong Huang that these old thieves in Chang'an City were Wang Yun's most cunning and cunning, especially to keep an eye on, Dong Huang naturally understood that countless secret sentinels had been laid around Wang Yun's mansion to monitor Wang Yun's daily behavior.

Wang Yun is not a fool, he knows that there are countless pairs of eyes around him, and as long as his behavior is slightly abnormal, he will attract death.

In order to be able to contact other people, Wang Yun pretended to be a subordinate who poured dung, and sneaked out of the dung every night, and those secret sentinels naturally did not expect that Wang Yun would behave himself like this and pretend to be a dung pourer, so he didn't care too much, and Wang Yun, who slipped out of the house, secretly contacted the people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, hoping to get their support.

At present, Chang'an City is mainly controlled by 10,000 Xiliang soldiers led by Dong Huang, but in addition, there is a force, that is, the Kwantung soldiers led by Yang Zan, which is 3,000 people. The original team was very large, but the work was too tiring, many people were exhausted to death, and some people were tired of being here, and there was no hope, so they fled one after another, so now there are only 3,000 people left.

Most of these 3,000 people are old, weak, sick and disabled, their combat effectiveness is very poor, and their equipment is very poor, many of them have no weapons at all, and the armor they wear is in tatters. It is precisely because of these reasons that Dong Zhuo did not disband them, anyway, he was not a threat to himself, and he could still sell some strength for himself, so he kept them and was led by Yang Zan.

After many days of hard work, Wang Yun won the support of many forces, he felt that the night was long and dreamy, and he needed to do it as soon as possible, so one night, he disguised himself as a dung dumper, slipped out of the house, and successfully sneaked out of the city and came to Yang Zan's camp.

Inside the big tent.

Yang Zan endured the stench on Wang Yun's body and asked, "Situ, are we really going to do it tonight?" ”

Wang Yun nodded and said: "Recently, Dong Huang seems to have noticed something, and he has sent more people around my mansion, even if I came out tonight, someone asked me, fortunately I was witty, otherwise it would have been revealed, God bless me and wait!" ”

"It's no problem to do it, I'm ready to sacrifice my life for the country, but if it can't be done, wouldn't it be in vain to take the lives of so many people!" Yang Zan said worriedly.

Wang Yun saw that Yang Zan seemed to have the intention of retreating, and he was very unhappy in his heart, is it easy for me to cultivate you for so long? Now at such a critical moment, if you don't do it, I will immediately pull out a knife and stab you to death! Although he was unhappy in his heart, Wang Yun did not reveal this meaning.

Although the combat effectiveness of Yang Zan's army is low, it is currently the strongest force that Wang Yun can master, if he can't join, then this coup d'état will inevitably fail, so you must fight for it!

"Captain, God doesn't give us much time! I found out that Dong Huang has to sneak into the palace every night and bully the concubines, I have sent instructions to Sun Rui, the ruling Jinwushi, and asked him to lead his henchmen in the palace tonight to control Dong Huang, in addition, Huang Wan, Zheng Gongye and others are ready, their servants have thousands of people, although the weapons are very poor, but they also have a certain combat effectiveness, the second watch, is the most sleepy and tired time, I have agreed, the time of the uprising is set at the second watch! Now everything is ready, just wait for the captain! Wang Yunzheng said.

"Well, since Situ is ready, how can Zan retreat from the battle. Zan immediately gathered his subordinates, entered Chang'an City, and achieved a great cause! Yang Zan patted the case.

The three thousand people were quickly gathered together, and everyone drooped their heads, thinking in their hearts: In this winter, there is no food to eat, no one to wear, and there is no one to sleep well in the middle of the night, it is so inhumane!

"Brothers, in the name of my emperor, I order you to take up arms, and now follow me into the city to punish thieves!" Yang Zan said loudly.

As soon as the soldiers who were originally drowsy heard Yang Zan's words, they were all agitated, and they immediately became sober and entered the city to punish the thieves?! Isn't this going to war?

They are not all fools, they know very well how strong the Xiliang soldiers are, it is not something they can defeat at all, from the number of people to weapons, they have no advantage at all, just go like this, it is to die.

Yang Zan's words ended for a long, long time, and no one responded, everyone lowered their heads tightly, they didn't want to die, they just wanted to live as long as possible in the troubled times.

Wang Yun saw that the soldiers were very reluctant and anxious, if this army could not attack Chang'an City, then the uprising would fail, and they would all be executed.

"Brothers, do you want to live like this!" Wang Yun thought for a while and said.

The soldiers heard the sound and looked at Wang Yun.

"You used to be brave and good at fighting Kwantung soldiers, invincible on the battlefield, and terrified the enemy! But now? What are you like? Every day, those Xiliang soldiers are riding on their heads, making a blessing, but you don't dare to say a word! Every day, he eats the dregs that Xiliang soldiers don't eat, wears tattered clothes, and endures hunger and cold all day long in this winter!

But what are those Xiliang soldiers eating! What to wear! Why can they eat better than us and dress better than us! There is also a military salary to be taken! For what we have to live this kind of life that pigs and dogs are not as good as! For what!! ”

When Wang Yun said the last word, he almost always roared and shouted.

The soldiers were aroused by Wang Yun's passionate speech, evoking the deepest memories hidden in their hearts, at that time they were the proudest soldiers, invincible on the battlefield, but now? The glory is no more, and they have fallen to such a field.

Every soldier has a kind of blood in their bones, once they are stimulated, they will become a group of beasts, fighting the enemy to the death, until the death rests, this is the dignity of every soldier!

The soldiers who were originally lifeless suddenly shook their spirits, and everyone looked at their companions and found that there was something more in each other's eyes, so they did dignity!

"Enter the city and punish the thieves! Enter the city to punish the thieves! ”

The 3,000 crowd was excited, resounding through the night.

Yang Zan secretly wiped a cold sweat, if Wang Yun's words could not stimulate the fighting spirit of these people, then what was waiting for him was a dead end. At the same time, he also admired Wang Yun, a single word can mobilize everyone's fighting spirit, these literati and Confucian scholars are really terrifying!

Inside the Royal Palace.

Shi Sun Rui served as the ruling Jinwu, responsible for protecting the safety of Chang'an, had the power to mobilize the army, and could freely enter and exit the palace, and the relationship with Dong Zhuo's family was very close on weekdays, Dong Huang had no precautions against him, and at the same time he trained a group of dead soldiers under his hands.

When Dong Huang entered the palace and caused chaos, Shi Sunrui immediately led his troops to surround **, saying that there was a traitor who entered the palace with the intention of holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and then brought the dead into the palace.

Dong Huang was playing hide and seek with the concubines at this time, and he was having a lot of fun, he used to envy Dong Zhuo for being promiscuous all day long, but now that Dong Zhuo is gone, the power has fallen into his hands, how can he let go of this great opportunity.

After finishing the government affairs every day, Dong Huang hurriedly ran into the palace and handed over the matter of night defense to Li Su.

Shi Sun Rui entered the palace with a group of dead soldiers, and the guards did not dare to obstruct it when they saw that it was Shi Sun Rui, so Shi Sun Rui easily entered **, entered **, Shi Sun Rui first divided a group of people to protect the little emperor, and the rest were all taken to arrest Dong Huang.
