Chapter 593: Chang'an Shock
In the ninth year of the Chu calendar, the first day of the first month.
An explosive news came out from Chang'an - for the people, it was just that Chang'an was under martial law, which made people feel that there might be a big problem with the Fuhan forces, which made the Fuhan princes under the clouds......
And for Chu Guo, who has many eyes and ears, especially last night, who planned the "rescue" operation in Chang'an, he got first-hand inside information!
It was transmitted from Chang'an to Wancheng in six hours, and then prepared from the signal tower, compiled and cracked the code...... In less than half an hour, it spread from Wancheng to Jinling.
Just last night, Zhenghou Zhang Yan launched a mutiny!
Originally, after the six marquis of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was in Guandong, Liu Zhang was in Xichuan, and Ma Han was in Xiliang, and Guanzhong was Saihou Yang Feng and Zheng Hou Zhang Yan, the two Yellow Turbans were the territory of warlords.
The reclamation and recovery of Guanzhong are also thanks to the Montenegrin immigrants brought by Zhang Yan and Sima Yi's planning.
Even among them, Yang Feng was almost "squeezed out" - after all, Yang Feng was originally the weakest, so it was his turn to recover Xu County.
In other words, among the six marquis of the Fu Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan is the most powerful in Guanzhong!
Of course, after Liu Xie returned to Chang'an, the power of the imperial court gradually became fuller, and there was a Yulin army in the Chang'an area.
However, after the Longyou Incident, the imperial court was very wary of Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei went to Chang'an in person, Liu Xie and the imperial court did not trust him.
And to guard against the untrustworthy Qingxu Erzhou and Xiliang's troops, Yang Feng, who is becoming more and more soy sauce, obviously can't count on it, or Zhang Yan is more reliable.
After all, Guanzhong is Zhang Yan, assisted by Sima Yi, almost ...... It can be seen as Zhang Yan who is Sima Yi's "seizure", and Qingxu is Liu Bei assisted by Zhuge Liang, and Yang Feng in the middle doesn't even have a chance to develop obscenely!
As a result, Liu Bei really didn't think much, but Zheng Hou, who received the order, secretly took advantage of this "opportunity to beware of Liu Bei" and touched Chang'an.
And Zhong Xuan, who was originally "recognized" as the representative of Wei in the court, actually joined forces with Zhang Yan or Sima Yi this time, and cooperated with the outside world......
The target is not Chang'an, but Liu Bei!
At the instigation of Zhong Xuan, the Yulin Army under the command of Dong Cheng deliberately provoked Liu Bei's guards outside the city, and took the opportunity to attack and take them all!
Later, at the New Year's Day banquet, when Liu Xie was still struggling with whether Liu Bei was reliable, the news of Liu Bei's escort "resisting the law" outside the city came, and more importantly, ...... Enemy forces are attacking the city on the western side!
When Yulin Army first came to report the matter of the guard, Liu Xie's first reaction was to detain Liu Bei.
However, after all, Liu Bei only brought more than 100 guards, and they were all outside the city, so it didn't look like he was going to mutiny, so Liu Xie was not overly nervous.
But immediately afterward, another bloody and wounded Yulin army came to report that an army under the banner of Qihou appeared west of Chang'an!
This is also something that Liu Xie has been worried about...... Chencang, where the soldiers and horses of Longyou are stationed, is only 300 miles away from Chang'an, but it is only separated by the Dasan Pass, so there is more sense of security.
Liu Xie was so angry that he wanted to chop Liu Bei on the spot, but under the persuasion of Liu Ai and others, as well as Liu Bei's own defense, he calmed down.
After all, as Liu Bei himself said - now the army outside the city, the person who led the troops did not show up at all, and Liu Bei also swore to the sky that he would not be his subordinate general.
Liu Bei himself did believe that although Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang had done something to seize power in Longyou behind their backs, it was impossible for them to attack Chang'an in a rebellious way, and more importantly, ...... It is impossible to attack when you know that you are in Chang'an!
Even if Ma Chao wanted to do this, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang would stop it!
But even so, Liu Xie still did not release Liu Bei, the reason was that when it was so chaotic, he didn't want "outsiders" to continue to cause chaos.
Although Liu Bei was helpless, he was not too resentful - on the one hand, in the "situation" of Longyou, Liu Xie's excitement this time was actually not nonsense, and on the other hand, it was ...... Even if it's not about him, he won't make a difference!
After all, in order to show openness, Liu Bei didn't even bring Zhang Fei this time, only a hundred or so guards, and now they have been suppressed, and I don't know what the casualties are......
Liu Bei was not so whimsical as to think that now, he should strive to let Liu Xie hand over the command of the Yulin Army to himself, otherwise he would not be wronged if he was really cut down.
Of course, Liu Bei is also a hero for a while after all, and he doesn't really want to pin his security on the imperial court, what if the chaotic army invades?
Liu Bei immediately proposed that he would find a way to break through the siege, go directly west to Longyou, and recruit Longyou's soldiers and horses into the King of Guanqin, as long as Liu Xie can stick to the palace!
In fact, relying on Longyou, who had just mutinied, to "King Qin" was unreliable, but ......
If it is really not Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, then it seems obvious who this army belongs to now.
Especially Dong Cheng, obviously he also thought of the current scene, which was different from what Zhang Yan said to him!
Now the tragic fact that Liu Xie is facing is that when he was suspicious of Liu Bei, Zhang Yan, the only person he could count on, had already given him a real knife!
On one side there is suspicion, and on the other side is already blatantly violating, at this time there is no other way than believing Liu Bei?
Do you expect to be in cahoots with the Huns? Or can Liu Zhang, who has worked hard to protect himself, penetrate Hanzhong all the way?
Liu Ai and others also tried to persuade Liu Xie at this time, but ...... With a loud bang, Liu Xie's idea of holding on to the palace collapsed with the palace gate!
With Sima Yi's foresight, Zhang Yan actually began to imitate artillery a long time ago, and naturally came into contact with gunpowder, although it is not comparable to the Chu State that has entered the category of high explosives, and is still on the way to optimize black powder and develop the process of closed cannon barrels, but ...... can't stand Sima Yi, this is a long time ago against the traitor, with the New Year's tribute, a large amount of gunpowder has already been prepared under the palace gate!
The quality was not enough, and the quantity was made up, and the two palace gates inside and outside were blown up, and a large number of Zheng troops poured in......
Before the time had passed, Zhang Yan and Xu Huang had already attacked under the banner of Qingjun's side - the reason why Xu Huang was here was actually Sima Yi's handiwork, but in the eyes of others, it was Yang Feng who was also involved.
After all, Xu Huang was Yang Feng's general, and he wanted to vote for the Ming lord but couldn't, Liu Bei was unwilling to accept Xu Huang because he belonged to the princes of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, and was taken advantage of by Sima Yi.
Although Zhang Yan's "Ming Master" character is obviously far inferior to Liu Bei, under Sima Yi's management, especially in the past two or three years, at least it is much more reliable than Yang Feng, and it is Sima Yi who personally persuades him......
At present, the news obtained by the Chu State is, first, from the people of Chang'an City, that Liu Bei died in Liu Xie's "Hongmen Banquet", and Zheng Hou sent troops to rescue him; The second is from the inside of the palace, Liu Xie died in the chaos, and Zheng Hou detained Liu Bei!
