When Sun Jian was dumbfounded, he never expected that he had made a rare prediction when he watched the sky at night this time.

At this time, Chang'an is in an unprecedentedly complicated situation, but the ending has not yet come out, so he doesn't know what the predicted outcome will be.

It is complicated because just outside Chang'an City, there are seven armies that are not subordinate to each other.

The hussar general Li Dao and the Zhengdong general Guo Yan were in the middle and became the focus of attention of each department.

On the periphery of the two divisions, there are the chariot cavalry general Guo Tai, the Wei general Li Su, the veteran Huangfu Song, the veteran Zhu Jun, and Guo Tai's old troops Han Xian and Yang Feng.

Among them, the veteran Huangfu Songbu is blocking the way for Li Dao and Guo Yan to enter Chang'an City, even if Li Dao moves out of the Son of Heaven Liu Xie, he will stubbornly not give in at all.

According to Huangfu Song's insistence, the Son of Heaven can enter, the three dukes, and the civil and military officials can enter, but Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the army led by them cannot enter.

Of course, Li Dao and Guo Yan will not agree to this condition, and now Luoyang has been burned to ruins by them, except for Chang'an, they have nowhere else to go, so the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials in their hands are their biggest support.

If it is really as the veteran Huangfu Song said, only let the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials enter Chang'an City, then not only will they have nowhere to go, but they may die without a place to be buried.

Therefore, the whole situation is deadlocked here, and the various ministries do not give in to each other and guard against each other.

This stalemate has been going on for several days, and it looks like it will continue like this.

However, it is not a matter of such a stalemate, Li Dao and Guo Yan can be said to have moved the entire Han Dynasty into the military camp, and divided it into two, making the current Han Dynasty Hall. Purely became a hostage for the two of them.

If the stalemate continues, even a veteran like Huangfu Song feels that something is not appropriate.

Before dawn, Sikong Yang Biao left the camp of the hussar general Li Dao with a few followers, and came to the camp of the general Guo Yan of Zhengdong, which was only less than ten miles away, trying to start unraveling the mess outside Chang'an City.

Guo Yan also attached great importance to it, regardless of fatigue, and personally met with Sikong Yang Biao in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After greeting two sentences, Yang Biao went straight to the point. said to Guo Yan: "Now the court is divided, the various ministries are not in harmony, the court does not know the state and county, and the state and county do not know the emperor of the court, and this will go on for a long time." The ministries will only lose both, does the general think so? ”

Guo Yan frowned and nodded. He asked, "What's the best way to do it?"

Yang Biao is confident. nodded and said: "According to Biao's opinion, the ministries do not believe each other and beware of each other, so the ministries do not give in to each other, and the bell must be tied to the bell." Now the various ministries have to believe in each other, so that they can solve the dilemma and return the world to a complete court. ”

When these words came to Guo Yan's heart, he didn't say anything. There he nodded his head repeatedly.

Yang Biao was not surprised by Guo Yan's reaction, and took a sip of fragrant tea slowly before slowly speaking, and continued: "Biao has a word that can make all departments believe in each other, is the general intentional?"

Guo Yan frowned, looked at Yang Biao for a while, and then asked: "The departments that Sikong refers to are the departments outside Chang'an City today?"

Yang Biao was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically: "What does the general mean ......?"

"Chang'an City is small and can't accommodate so many soldiers and horses, is it commonplace?"

Yang Biao instantly grasped what Guo Yan was referring to, and said with a smile: "General Gaojian, in Chang'an City, it is indeed impossible to accommodate all the departments, and the imperial court can't afford to support it, the general thinks that there are those who can enter Chang'an City, but which ones?"

Guo Yan was unceremoniously, raised three fingers, and replied, "Three!"

Without waiting for Yang Biao to answer, Guo Yan resolutely continued: "Other than that, Yan doesn't think that the various ministries have the possibility of mutual trust."

Yang Biao was silent, and in just a few words, Guo Biao was equivalent to showing his precondition first, that is, Yang Biao, the middleman, first persuaded the seven troops outside Chang'an City to retreat from the other departments except Li Dao, Guo Bian and Huangfu Song.

Only when this precondition is met will Guo Bian accept Yang Biao's mutual confidence proposal.

Yang Biao nodded and replied: "Okay, the general is really cheerful, and Rong Biao will go back and discuss with the hussar general and General Situ Taiwei Huangfu, and then talk about it."

Guo Yan nodded, got up, and said with a smile: "Okay, Yan is here to wait for Sikong's good news."

Regarding the premise of Guo Yan, Sikong Yang Biao does not need to ask, he knows that the hussar general Li Dao will certainly have no objections, and the veteran Huangfu Song may have objections.

For this matter, Yang Biao shuttled back and forth in the major military camps for three days, and in addition to him, there were many courtiers who acted as lobbyists for various departments with the same purpose as him.

This is a very difficult matter, among the ministries, the veteran Zhu Jun is the easiest to be persuaded, and he is also the first to be persuaded, and he took the initiative to lead the army to withdraw from the suburbs of Chang'an, but did not retreat to Zhongmu, but temporarily stationed fifty miles outside Chang'an City to show his sincerity.

The most difficult to be persuaded are Guo Tai and Li Subu, the two originally shared the government with Li Dao and Guo Yan in Luoyang, but now they are excluded, of course, they are a little unhappy.

However, when the two were already in Luoyang, they were one step behind Li Dao and Guo Yan, and it was not realistic for them to compete for the Son of Heaven and Baiguan from Li Dao and Guo Yan at this time, so in the end, they could only take a step back for the time being, and like the veteran Zhu Jun, they led the army back fifty miles.

Prior to this, Guo Tai's old subordinates, Han Xian and Yang Feng, had led the army to retreat.

Such a difficult consensus, in just three days, reached a consensus, Sikong Yang Biao made great contributions, his voice was hoarse, and his legs were thinner, but his mood was quite comfortable, and when Zaijian arrived at Guo Yan, the general of Zhengdong, he was much more confident.

Even Guo Yan's attitude towards Yang Biao has eased a lot.

is still in the big tent of the Chinese army of the general Guo Yan of the expedition, and there are still only two people, Yang Biao and Guo Yan, the general of the expedition.

"General," Yang Biao's voice was hoarse, no longer mellow and upright in the past, but still with an irresistible charm, "Now outside Chang'an City, there are only three left, can the general be satisfied?" ”

Guo Bian hahadaxiao, smiled at Yang Biao and said: "Sikong has worked hard, how to trust the hussar general, as well as the old general Huangfu, I wish to hear the details."

Yang Biao smiled confidently on his face, nodded and said, "This matter is easy to say, but difficult to do, and the general needs to think twice."

This is an attempt to capture the past, Yang Biao said this, obviously on purpose, sure enough, Guo Yan frowned tightly, groaned for a while, and then asked: "I wish to hear the details."

In fact, Yang Biao's plan is very simple, so simple that it can be clearly explained in one sentence.

"Yi Zi as a hostage?"

After listening to this, Guo Yan asked what these four words represented, of course Guo Yan understood very clearly in his heart, and asked so much, of course, not to ask Yang Biao to explain in detail for him, but to feel that it seemed impossible to do so.

At this time, Guo Yan felt in his heart that he had no objection to this plan, but it was difficult to say whether the hussar general Li Dao approved of it, and it was even more difficult to say what the attitude of the old general Huang Fu Song was.

Even if Guo Yan didn't know what to say, Yang Biao also understood that among the magnates in Luoyang, everyone knew that the hussar general Li Dao only had his only son Li Shi, which was regarded as a treasure, not to mention that the hussar general Li Dao would not agree to take his only son as a hostage, even if he agreed, his wife, that would never agree.

But these two generals of the Xiliang Army are both people who are afraid of the inside, the only difference is that Guo Yan, the general of Zhengdong, has several sons, so if he takes one out as a hostage, he and his wife will not have much resistance.

This time, Yang Biao was indeed a little worried, when he thought of exchanging daughters as hostages, he encountered the same obstacles, but this time, the problem was Guo Yan, he only had one daughter, which was the pearl of his and his wife's palms, and it was impossible to take her as a hostage.

Seeing that Yang Biao was silent, Guo Yan diverted the question and asked, "What ......does the old general Huangfu mean?"

"The old general Huangfu has no objection to this, and his son Huangfu Li can go to the camp of the general or hussar general at any time."

Guo Yan nodded, laughed dryly, and said, "The old general is still reluctant to live his eldest son."

Yang Biao echoed and laughed, and smiled at Guo Yan's words without answering, because of the so-called proton, no one has ever exchanged the eldest son, so there is nothing wrong with Huangfu Song's approach.

At this time, Yang Biao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and had a good idea, and said to Guo Yan: "The general's concern is very reasonable, the hussar general has many sons and daughters, and the general has many sons and only daughters, why not the hussar general take the woman as the hostage, and the general takes the son as the hostage, so that the obstacle can be solved?"

"Good!"

Guo Yan clapped his palms and applauded loudly, and was very impressed by Yang Biao's flexibility.

In this way, he and Li Dao do not have so much concern, and they can trust each other, and if they can take this first step, the subsequent things will be much easier.

Yang Biao was also greatly encouraged to get Guo Yan's approval, and immediately stood up, and said goodbye to Guo Yan with some impatience, and said with a smile: "Okay, since the general is so supportive, Biao will go back to discuss with the hussar general, if he can get the hussar general's approval, this matter can start tomorrow."

Yang Biao stepped out of Guo Yan's Chinese army tent and was about to board the carriage, when he inadvertently looked up and saw that the night sky was divided into two halves, the northern half was pitch black, without a little starlight, and the south was a group of bright stars, competing for glory.

Such a celestial spectacle, stemming from the strong north winds, brought heavy lead clouds, like an indestructible army of thousands of horses, unstoppable from the north, slowly swept in.

This is a very normal thing, in the severe cold season, the dripping water turns into ice, the north wind is strong, and the thick lead cloud brings it is the heavy snow, the heavy snow that can change the color of the sky and the earth overnight.

But this time, Yang Biao was always a little panicked somehow, and it could even be said that he was quite frightened, with indescribable fear.

But in the blink of an eye, Yang Biao laughed at himself, attributing his abnormality at the moment to the fact that he was too tired recently. (To be continued......)
