Chapter Forty-Eight: The Imperial Capital Is Hard to Secure

Immediately ordered someone to contact Jia Xu to inquire about Li Dao, Guo Yan's garrison and the attack on the Luoyang imperial capital. The message was quickly replied, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were just temporarily camped and did not move. They were waiting for the armies of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.

Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Guo Yan are all Dong Zhuo's generals.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it is impossible for the four people who are greedy for power to let Lu Bu, who killed his father, take the lead and coerce the Son of Heaven in the Luoyang Imperial Capital to order the princes.

The war had not yet begun, and Lu Bu had already lost half of it. Historically, the armies of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou attacked Chang'an. Although it was the imperial capital of Luoyang this time, there was also a huge disparity in the army, and it was difficult for Lu Bu to win.

Su Jing felt that if he killed Li Dao now, the army's morale would be in turmoil, and this was not the result he wanted to see. However, the shuttle mission period is three days, and Li Dao still has to die.

A day later, the scouts reported that the armies of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji had converged with the armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan. Rest your army for a day.

The big war is imminent, and the army is moving.

The mighty army began to want to advance in the imperial capital of Luoyang. Because the grain and grass needed by the army of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were in short supply. They must take the imperial capital of Luoyang in one go.

On the battlefield, Hua Xiong was riding on a tall horse with a big knife in his hand, and beside him was Jia Xu on horseback.

Jia Xu said: "General Hua, this battle will be won." ”

Hua Xiong nodded, "Rest assured, this battle will definitely go to Lu Bu's head." ”

Originally, he followed the lord Dong Zhuo, but he Huaxiong was still the governor, but now that Lu Bu has replaced him, he has lost his status, how can he not hate.

Jia Xu had his own plans, "Master, Wen He has regarded you as a candidate for the lord, and he can't let Wen He down." ”

In the imperial capital of Luoyang, Lu Bu and the injured Situ Wang Yun looked solemn.

"Wen Hou, we can't lose this battle. The country of the Han Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of these rebellious ministers and thieves. Situ Wang Yun faced the mighty army of Dong Zhuoyu outside the city gate, and said hoarsely.

"Hmph, Wang Situ, do you believe that Benhou can repel this group of rebellious ministers and thieves?" Lu Bu snorted coldly, extremely conceited.

Zhang Liao stood aside and did not speak.

Woo......

The trumpet blows.

The killing was monstrous.

Siege the city, the ladder first.

In the deep palace of the Luoyang Imperial Capital, Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei depended on each other and snuggled together. Their orphans and widows know that no matter who wins or loses, they will always be puppets of one side and at their mercy.

"Queen Mother......" Young Emperor Liu Wei looked at the queen mother on the side, and the queen mother had always been very anxious.

"The emperor is not afraid. With the Master here, our mother and son will be safe. Empress Dowager He comforted her imperial son Liu Wei.

In fact, Empress Dowager He couldn't make up her mind in her heart and didn't really believe that the mage had the ability to turn things around!

If the mage had the ability to turn things around, he wouldn't be able to let Lu Bu and Situ Wang Yun control the government, but he would end up being expelled.

At the same time, Empress Dowager He persuaded herself that she must believe in the mage. The fact that the mage was able to walk between Lu Bu and Cao Cao alone, and Lu Bu did not dare to take down the mage on the spot, also shows that the mage is extraordinary.

"Queen Mother, ...... you listen," the young emperor Liu Wei heard the sound of fighting.

"A group of rebellious ministers and thieves have fought." Empress Dowager He was quiet and said.

In the palace, people are also panicking. But among the palace maids and eunuchs, few were willing to flee for their lives. Because everyone knows that without royal protection, they die faster.

Where do you flee to?

However, there were still palace maids and eunuchs who escaped.

The forbidden troops in the palace were also deployed to the city wall to defend the city. It can be said that the palace is unguarded. It all relied on a team of Praetorian Guards to guard the young emperor Liu Wei and the mother and son of the Empress Dowager He.

It was arranged by Situ Wangyun.

It is true that Situ Wang Yun is loyal to the Han family, but he has a plan but lacks the overall situation and control ability.

In the imperial capital of Luoyang, there is an additional mysterious army, and this mysterious army is the imperial city of the imperial capital arranged by Guo Yu earlier. They gathered together, dressed up one after another, and mixed into the palace in the costume of Situ Wang Yun's soldiers.

"Who?" The captain of the Praetorian Guard, who was guarding Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor, asked.

"We've been ordered to come and escort us."

"Escort?" The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he realized that something was wrong.

Shoot the arrows!

Woohoo......

The bow and crossbow of the Yellow Turban Army is a weapon that Su Jing is equipped with. All are manufactured with modern technology.

The bow was unsheathed, and in less than a moment it was bleeding.

"Change into their clothes and arm." Zhao Yun waved his hand and commanded.

Squeak.

Zhao Yun pushed open the door of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, saw the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor Liu Wei who were snuggled together, knelt down on one knee, and said: "The last general Zhao Yun, see the Queen Mother, Your Majesty." ”

"Zhao Yun." Empress Dowager He was shocked, and she heard the screams coming from outside the hall before.

"The last general was ordered by the mage to come and escort him. But I hope that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty can give us a suitable identity. When the time comes, we will deceive Li Dao and Guo Yan. "Zhao Yun, said.

"Surrender?!" After hearing this, Empress Dowager He's face changed and asked, "Why didn't the mage get rid of these rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”

"The lord has the lord's thoughts, and the end will not know." Zhao Yundao.

With that, Zhao Yun turned around and walked out of the hall.

Outside the city gate, the armies of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji attacked from the east, west and south gates respectively, but none of them broke through the city wall.

This round of siege failed, and another siege began...... The war was fought very fiercely, and it was not an exaggeration to say that rivers of blood were shed. There were corpses of soldiers everywhere.

Lu Bu couldn't stand it, he was furious, and was about to lead his troops down the city wall, and wanted to go out of the city gate to meet the battle in person, but was stopped by Situ Wang Yun: "It's absolutely impossible to wait for you." The enemy soldiers are several times more than me, and when the city gate is opened, Emperor Luoyang is not guaranteed. ’

"Humph!" Lu Bu's face was cloudy and changeable, in fact, he had a plan in his heart.

Lu Bu is not really brave and strategic, and he is also calculating the victory or loss of this war in his heart. Individual courage cannot change the outcome of a war.

The siege continued into the night, but the walls were not breached.

The armies of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji all retreated, preparing to set up camp and attack the city again the next day.

There was a respite on both sides.

In the middle of the night, in Li Wei's tent, Li Dao faced Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, the high walls of the imperial city are solidified, and it is difficult to attack the imperial city. I don't know what Wenhe's strategy is? ”

Jia Xu groaned and was about to answer, when he suddenly found that the corner of Li Wei's mouth was bleeding and he fell in a pool of blood.

Burst!

Another sword light slashed across Li Dao's neck, and Li Dao's head was in a different place, and his head rolled to the side, and then was picked up by the mage who suddenly appeared.

"Mage, why?" Jia Xu was shocked, how could the mage suddenly appear? Why did you kill Li Dao at this juncture?
