Facing Li Dao, who suddenly got up in anger, Xu Rong had no fear on his face, but said with contempt: "Since Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing Han, the capital has been set in Luoyang, and Xijing Chang'an is used as a companion capital and the ancestral mausoleum. Captain Li spoke out to stop him at this time, and dared to ask if he wanted to follow Dong Thief's practice and continue to detain the Son of Heaven in Chang'an? ”

Li Wei was suffocated by Xu Rong's question, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look directly into Xu Rong's eyes.

Xu Rong's question is too sensitive, if Li Dao accepts the offer, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to admitting that he wants to be Dong Zhuo's second, which is very fatal.

Jia Xu said for Li Dao to relieve the siege: "General Xu's words are good! Zhiran spoke out against it, not because he had any disobedience to the Son of Heaven, but because he was worried that someone would take the opportunity to take the young emperor hostage to Luoyang and be the second He Suigao in Luoyang City! ”

The late general He Jin, the word is high. After the death of Emperor Ling, this person monopolized the power of the imperial court, but he was incompetent and colluded with warlords in various places, which directly led to the later Luoyang Rebellion.

Jia Xu brought out He Jin to talk about things at this time, reminding Xu Rong that welcoming the emperor back to Luoyang at this time may not be a good thing, if Luoyang does not have a big man who can control the scene, the final result is just to stage a tragedy of He Jin in Luoyang again.

Xu Rong didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court, he wanted to leave the ghost place of Chang'an as soon as possible, and then return to the north to be a general who purely led troops to fight, so he didn't care about Jia Xu's words, and said expressionlessly: "Xu is here today just to deliver a word, and he doesn't care about the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven." Lieutenant Li might as well discuss with Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou to see whether to continue the battle or suspend their respective troops, and we will continue anyway. ”

Li Wei nodded, and then sent someone to send Xu Rong out of the camp.

After Xu Rong left, Li Wei frowned and said to Jia Xu: "At the beginning, our strategy was to attack Chang'an and then control the situation, but now because of Liu He's troubles. The breakthrough of Chang'an has become a long way off, I don't know how Mr. Wenhe taught me? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and sighed and said: "People are not as good as heaven, none of us thought that Liu He would come to stir up the situation, let alone that Liu He would have such a powerful army under his command, so the best way now is naturally to agree to Xu Rong's proposal, make peace with Liu He, and temporarily suspend the war for the next day." ”

"I am also inclined to make a truce with Liu He, but the condition he made was to welcome the young emperor to Luoyang, such a condition is really unacceptable!" Li Dao said with an indignant face.

"You might as well take a step back and think about it. Even if Liu He can really say that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others will welcome the young emperor to Luoyang, how much loss will there be to us? As long as the imperial court pardons the crimes of the Xiliang soldiers and recognizes the status of the soldiers, you and Guo Xiaowei and others are not high and unreachable in the Guanzhong area? If the young emperor really arrived in Luoyang, Liu He would have to fight with Wang Yun and Lu Bu and others all day long, and always beware of warlords from all walks of life in the Kwantung region intervening in the country, but it was Liu He who had a headache at that time. On the contrary, the Guanzhong area is safe and sound. ”

"Well, Mr. Wenhe's analysis is reasonable. I then sent people to contact Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others, and discussed with them about the armistice. Li Wei finally accepted Jia Xu's persuasion and decided to cease war with Liu He. Share the results of the Battle of Chang'an.

In the next few days, there was no more fighting inside and outside Chang'an City, and it entered a period of calm that made people feel strange.

The besieging Xiliang army stopped all siege operations, and they converged in one place from four directions. The troops were stationed in the northern camp, seemingly waiting for new orders.

Li Wei had succeeded in convincing generals such as Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou to accept Liu He's terms of armistice. However, he asked the imperial court to first pardon the Xiliang army for innocence, and at the same time give the Xiliang army a suitable placement before the army would disperse.

The war has entered this stage, and it has reached the point of finalizing the final word, and Zhao Yun and Guo Jia could not continue to make decisions for Liu He, so they hurriedly sent people to Tongguan to report the situation to Liu He and ask for follow-up actions.

It was Tian Chou who came to report to Liu He personally, and he had been separated from Liu He for more than a year.

When Tian Chou was about to arrive at Tongguan, Liu He personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him and gave Tian Chou the highest standard of greeting.

"The lowly Tian Chou has seen the eldest prince!"

At the first glance of Liu He, Tian Chou hurriedly bowed down and saluted Liu He. Although they have only been separated for a year, Liu He is no longer the weak and weak he was at the beginning, he looks energetic and his eyes are bright, which makes Tian Chou feel a little inexplicably embraced.

Or is this what is called an "aura"?

Liu He hurriedly walked a few steps, helped Tian Chou up, and then ignored the surprise of the entourage and the soldiers around him, and gave Tian Chou a big bear hug, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zitai, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I finally brought you back!" ”

Tian Chou was a little at a loss by Liu He's enthusiasm, and he didn't know where to start with what he had thought about, so he had to be dragged into the city by Liu He.

After some reminiscence, Tian Chou reported to Liu He in detail the actions of Zhao Yun and Shen Xi's army after meeting near Lishan, and then said: "Childe, now Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are no longer willing to fight, and they are ready to accept the armistice conditions set by you, but they have some doubts about whether you can force Wang Yun to agree to pardon their crimes, so they still garrison the army outside Chang'an City, and there is a possibility of a comeback at any time." ”

Liu He nodded and said, "Well, this situation is what I expected. Wang Yun's old foolish temper is stinky and stubborn, and now that he sees that the siege of Chang'an is temporarily lifted, he will definitely not agree to pardon Li Dao and others, maybe he still wants to use me to further clean up Li Dao and Guo Yan, and even balance the Liangzhou system led by Lu Bu, but I just won't let him get his wish! This time I was able to save his life, I have already paid off the favor I owed him, and I want to continue to be a thug for him, but there is no door! ”

Tian Chou said with some concern: "Childe, then how do we get Wang Yun to nod and agree to pardon Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou?" In addition to pardoning them, we must also promote them to official positions and allocate territories, otherwise there will be constant troubles in the future! ”

"Hmph, why do I have to make Wang Yun nod in agreement? Wang Yun's position in the court is just a Situ, how can he compare to my father's respect for the Taifu? Now I have enough troops in my hands to change the pattern of Chang'an, not him Wang Yun, why should I act based on his face! When Liu He said this, he looked domineering, and he no longer looked like the pitiful image when he fled from Chang'an.

"So, is Childe going to Chang'an to solve these problems in person?"

"I won't go to Chang'an. It's just a lonely city, and it's full of pedantic and decrepit guys, and I feel heartwarming when I see it. I'll write a few letters now, and then you take them back and send them to the corresponding people, if they don't agree, I'll immediately take the soldiers and horses back to Luoyang, whoever likes to play who plays, my son doesn't have time to go around in circles with them! ”

"Everything is at the behest of the child!" Tian Chou said without hesitation.

Three days later, Liu He's letters to Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Ma Riyan and Cai Yong were safely delivered by Tian Chou to the corresponding people.

Liu He's letter to Zhao Yun was very concise, telling Zhao Yun to be ready to withdraw east to Luoyang at any time. As for Huangfu Song, if he doesn't want to go with him, then let him go, but at least sixty percent of the wealth and grain and grass obtained in the palace should be taken away, and the right should be the reward for his own troops to relieve the siege this time.

Liu He's letter to Jia Xu is more subtle, which probably means that it is not easy for everyone to come out and mix in society, and there is no hatred for killing fathers and taking wives between each other, so if you can solve the problem without violent means, try to choose a milder way. Otherwise, after making a big fuss, it will be impossible for each other not to tear their faces, and it will not be beneficial to anyone at that time.

Liu He's letter to Ma Riyan was more respectful, but his attitude was very resolute. It is to the effect that his soldiers and horses have suffered heavy casualties, and he is no longer able to fight against the army under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan, if Wang Yun has to ignore the safety of the Son of Heaven and Chang'an, he insists on being tough on Li Dao and Guo Yan and other Xiliang generals to the end. I had no choice but to retreat to Luoyang and never get involved in this matter again.

Ma Riyan is the nominal generalissimo of the country, and Liu He has no contact with Wang Yun. Directly contacting him, the captain, actually represents an attitude of disapproval of Wang Yun.

Liu He's letter to his father-in-law Cai Yong was the most enthusiastic, not only completely denied Wang Yun's charge of "pro-Dong" on Cai Yong's head, but also praised Cai Yong's practice of concentrating on learning and not involving court politics during Dong Zhuo's dictatorship of the dynasty

The so-called doctor's sacrificial wine is the president and party secretary of the university in later generations. Luoyang's government-run university is called "Taixue", symbolizing the highest standard of the empire, Liu He has no ambition to be the emperor for the time being, so he plans to establish a state "Yenching University" in Jicheng, which sounds one level lower than Taixue, but in fact, the number of teachers will not be bad at all.

Liu He's insistence on not appearing near Chang'an made all parties feel unfathomable, but there was nothing they could do.

There were people in Chang'an City who wanted to show favor to Liu He, but unfortunately they couldn't see Liu He, so their hot faces couldn't stick to Liu He's cold buttocks. Someone in Chang'an City wanted to scold Liu He in person, but unfortunately because he couldn't see Liu He, he had to hold back his anger in his stomach, and he was about to suffer internal injuries.

Jia Xu understood Liu He's intentions at a glance, and knew that Liu He wanted to peacefully solve the Chang'an problem through this method of retreating and advancing, and he didn't want to see Li Dao and Guo Yan and others holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and he also didn't want to see Wang Yun and others fooling around in Chang'an City, so he inserted strongly, and then easily withdrew, becoming the third force that balanced the two sides.

After figuring out Liu He's intentions, Li Dao and Guo Yan were no longer in a hurry, they restrained their subordinates not to make trouble, and quietly waited for Liu He to fight with the bigwigs in Chang'an City.

Wang Yun scolded Liu He for his bad intentions, but there was nothing he could do about it, and he was even more worried that Liu He would withdraw his troops and horses to Luoyang in anger, so he was very anxious. Wang Yun intended to take Cai Yong's family to take Liu He, but was opposed by Ma Riyan and Lu Bu at the same time, both of them said that if they really did this, not only would they make the world laugh, but also completely offended Liu He, and maybe in the future, Liu He and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others would join forces to attack Chang'an.

When Wang Yun was hesitating in Chang'an City, news suddenly came from outside the city, claiming that Zhao Yun had ordered his troops to withdraw from Changling and began to move eastward, as if they were preparing to go to Tongguan.

What made Wang Yun even more speechless was that Huangfu Song didn't know what medicine Lu Dao had taken wrong, and he actually expressed his willingness to go to Luoyang with Zhao Yun!

and Xu Rong, who lost the battle, directly resigned from the official position appointed by the imperial court, claiming that he would become Liu He's subordinate from now on, and would no longer be subject to any appointment and restraint by the imperial court!

When Zhao Yun slowly retreated eastward with the army, Li Dao and Guo Yan immediately led the army to surround Chang'an City again, putting on a posture of attacking the city again, as if they had made an appointment with Zhao Yun's side. (To be continued......)
