When Liu He, who was far away in Youzhou, officially married Da Qiao and entered the mansion to become the third lady, a scuffle finally broke out in Guanzhong, which had been dull for half a year, and from the beginning to the end of this battle, the forces involved did not figure out how it was fought and what the final result would be.

The cause of the incident has to start after Wang Yun's death. The biggest thing Wang Yun has done in his life is to join forces with Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, who had already aroused the anger of the people at that time, but judging from the situation in Guanzhong after Dong Zhuo's death, that's all.

Before Dong Zhuo's death, the orders of the imperial court could not get out of Guanzhong, and the states did their own thing. After Dong Zhuo's death, the orders of the imperial court still could not get out of Guanzhong, and the states not only did their own thing, but also the warlords were constantly fighting each other.

Wang Yun returned to the west with full regret, but several forces inside and outside Chang'an were ready to move, and everyone was thinking about how to control the central court and the puppet emperor, and then monopolize the territory west of Guanzhong.

The third surnamed Lu Bu coveted the position of the Great Sima because he held most of the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City in his hands, and even ignored the criticism of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and begged for officials and titles from the emperor in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. It was also Lu Bu's unfavorable year, obviously everything seemed to him to be a matter of course, but because the emperor, who had never made it clear in the court, wanted to return to Luoyang, he directly shelved it.

Lu Bu also knew that Luoyang was better than the declining Chang'an, but the soldiers and horses in his hands were unable to compete with Liu He's subordinates who were entrenched in the Luoyang area, so he had to endure it for the time being.

Lü Bu was unable to escort the emperor back to Luoyang, so he could not get the support of the ministers of the court, so he could not ascend to the high position of the Great Sima, but his practice of asking for officials and lords in front of the Manchu ministers greatly stimulated Li Dao and Guo Yan outside Chang'an.

Li Dao has always regarded himself as the boss of Guanzhong, and he despised Lu Bu, who repeatedly killed his father-in-law and ascended to the throne, if it wasn't for Liu He leading the army to make trouble outside Chang'an, maybe Li Dao would have rushed into Chang'an five years ago to solve Lu Bu. Now Lu Bu kicked his nose and face. actually plotted against Da Sima, the position of being in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but the horse did not know the length of the face, and the ox did not know the bend of the horns, which made Li Dao feel very faceless, and at the same time very annoyed.

Li Dao was angry, and the consequences were very serious. He first sent people to contact Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and other leaders, and asked everyone to send troops to attack Chang'an again, this time not only to completely solve Lu Bu, but also to drive all the ministers in Chang'an back to Luoyang, leaving only a few obedient servants to serve the puppet emperor. And then from then on, the brothers were powerful and happy in Guanzhong.

In Li Dao's view, as the leading brother, this proposal should be resolutely supported and embraced by several brothers, but the actual situation made Li Dao very "hurt".

The "second" Guo Yan directly disagreed with Li Wei's proposal to attack Chang'an, believing that now the warlords of all walks of life in the Kanto region and Yuan Shao in Hedong have become the climate, and if the brothers besiege Chang'an at this time, it will attract those forces in the Kwantung region to crusade, and this kind of thing of giving people a handle cannot be done.

The "third" Zhang Ji did not dare to oppose directly. But on the grounds that he had a strange illness and couldn't get out of bed, he politely rejected Li Wei's proposal.

The other two little brothers, Fan Chou and Wang Fang, responded positively to Li Wei's proposal, but their soldiers and horses were limited after all. So even if Li Dao pulls them together, it may not be able to succeed.

Li Dao knew in his heart that if the matter in Guanzhong could not be pulled into the water, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji could not be dragged into the water. Then when he and Lu Bu fight to lose, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji will definitely jump out to snatch the final fruit.

Moreover, in addition to Guo Yan and Zhang Ji. Yuan Shao of Hedong, who is not far from Chang'an, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou, are all tigers and wolves, and they must always pay attention to the movements of Chang'an, and they will definitely not stay where they are as visitors.

Li Wei's proposal was blocked, so he did not act for the time being, he listened to the proposal of the military advisor Jia Xu, and secretly sent people to Chang'an to inquire about the news, only to learn that Guo Yan and Zhang Ji were instigated by some people in the city, and had an idea about him being the boss.

It's just that Li Dao didn't expect that the person who secretly instigated Guo Yan and Zhang Ji to oppose him turned out to be Zhong Xuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate. At that time, when Lu Bu intended to seek the position of Great Sima, Zhong Dao secretly sent someone to deliver a message to Li Dao, which meant to support Li Dao to serve as a lieutenant, for which Li Dao also felt that Zhong Dao was available, and he would give Zhong Dao a big official position after controlling Chang'an in the future.

Li Dao's military adviser Jia Xu has always had a vicious vision, and he reminded Li Dao that the current situation of peace and quiet between all parties in Guanzhong can no longer be sustained, and if he does not strike first and integrate all forces, then after the battle between Liu He and Yuan Shao has a result, these forces in Guanzhong will become fish and meat on the chopping block, and they will definitely not be able to resist the siege of the armies of several states north of the Yellow River.

Li Wei was convinced of Jia Xu's analysis, because with Liu He's victory in Youzhou again and again, the sense of danger in Li Wei's heart became stronger and stronger, and he had already seen that Yuan Shao would inevitably lose to Liu He in the end, and he also knew that if he didn't concentrate the forces of the entire west of Tongguan before Liu He officially went south, then his defeat would be inevitable in the future.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to strike first. Li Wei adopted the advice of the military advisor Jia Xu, sent people to secretly contact Fan Chou and Wang Fang, promised them high positions and heavy gifts, and asked them to send troops to assist him in attacking Guo Yan. Fan Chou has always obeyed Li Dao's words, and after receiving Li Dao's order, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses and moved closer to Jingshui. Although Wang Fang also listened to the words of the "leading brother" Guo Yan, he secretly had a close relationship with the second brother Guo Yan, and after receiving Li Wei's secret order, while slowly reorganizing the troops and horses, he sent people to Xianyang to report to Guo Yan.

A few days later, Guo Yan learned that Li Dao had secretly mobilized troops to prepare to do something to himself, so he was naturally very angry and panicked, so he also hurriedly reorganized his troops and horses, lest Li Dao be unprepared when he called from Zuo Fengyi. In addition to preparing for the war, Guo Yan also sent people to Li Dao's camp to question, and at the same time sent people to Lantian to contact Zhang Ji and ask Zhang Ji to send troops to help the war.

Guo Yan's side was still busy preparing, and the Flying Bear Army on Li Wei's side had already rushed from the left Feng Yi to the right Fufeng. Leading the Flying Bear Army is Li Li's nephew Li Li, this guy has a bit of the genetic factors of the flying general Li Guang, and is a general who is good at fighting surprise attacks. After Li Li led the Flying Bear Army into Guo Yan's territory, he killed from Anling along the north bank of Weishui to Yixian County in one go, so frightened that Guo Yan did not dare to intercept it head-on, but only gathered his troops towards the south bank of Weishui near Fengzhen.

When Guo Bian's side was busy because of Li Wei's sudden move, Zhang Ji received a letter of help sent by Guo Yan, and he also understood that if Li Wei cleaned up Guo Yan, it was estimated that he should do something to himself next, so he hurriedly sent a force from Lantian to Fengzhen to reinforce Guo Yan.

However, before Zhang Ji's reinforcements arrived in Fengzhen, the situation changed sharply again!

Lu Bu, who had been shrinking in Chang'an City, didn't know how to get the news, and quietly sent his generals Hou Cheng and Hao Meng to lead 5,000 soldiers to ambush Zhang Ji's troops in the middle of the road, which caused Zhang Ji's reinforcements to rush to Fengzhen to join Guo Yan's troops, so they fled back to Lantian with their heads in their hands.

Guo Yan was waiting for Zhang Ji's reinforcements in Fengzhen, but he couldn't wait for the left or the right, so he hated Zhang Ji in his heart, and felt that Zhang Ji had played a trick this time, and he was playing the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Just when Guo Yan was restless, Li Wei quietly sent Jia Xu to lobby in Guo Yan's camp.

Jia Xu, the "old poison", still has a lot of weight in Guo Yan's mind, if it weren't for Jia Xu's proposal to counterattack Chang'an when Li Dao and Guo Yan and others were at a loss, Li Dao and Guo Yan might have been beheaded by the imperial court long ago. Although Jia Xu came this time to represent the side of the hostile camp, Guo Yan still treated Jia Xu with courtesy, and there was no rudeness or humiliation.

"Mr. Wenhe, now that the two armies are fighting each other, why are you still running in person? If we fall into the battle of soldiers, is it not the sin of our warriors? Guo Yan asked Jia Xu with some puzzlement.

Jia Xu replied: "I came this time to resolve the misunderstanding between Zhiran (Li Daozi) and you, others came to you, but I am afraid that before I have time to speak, I will be cut off by you." ”

"Misunderstanding?!" Guo Yan seemed to have been depressed for a long time, and suddenly stood up and complained loudly to Jia Xu: "This time it is clearly him Li Zhiran who took revenge on me for not agreeing to send troops to besiege Chang'an!" Li Zhiran wanted to enter Chang'an and compete with Lu Fengxian for the position of the big Sima, so he would send troops himself, why did he pull his brothers on his back? ”

Jia Xu looked at Guo Yan, who was thunderous, and suddenly asked with a chuckle: "Dare to ask who did the general listen to say that the siege of Chang'an was to compete with Lu Bu for the position of the Great Sima?" ”

"These words were told to me by Huangmenlang Zhong Xuan!" Guo Yan sold Zhong Xuan without righteousness.

"Does the general think Zhong Yuanchang's words are credible? If I tell the general that Zhiran invited you to send troops to Chang'an this time definitely not to compete with Lu Bu for the sake of the Great Sima, but for the sake of everyone's future safety, I guess you will definitely not believe it at this time. However, you might as well think about it, although the naïve nephew Li Li and the Flying Bear Army have made a lot of trouble in your territory recently, have they really been ruthless to your troops? Don't you want to know the real purpose of this childishness? ”

Jia Xu asked several rhetorical questions in a row, which made Guo Yan, who was still on fire, gradually calm down.

Guo Yan thought about it carefully and felt that what Jia Xu said was not wrong, this time Li Wei seemed to be fighting against himself, and there was a lot of movement, but the two sides had actually maintained restraint until now, and they did not dispatch the main force to fight to the death at all.

"Could it be that Li Zhiran did this to hide people's eyes?" (To be continued......)
