Chapter 55: After the Rainstorm

Just like the early morning after a rainstorm, Chang'an after the thunder and lightning is extraordinarily quiet.

Between the collapsed rubble, the civilians who survived the thunder and lightning knelt on the ground and thanked the heavens for giving them a chance to live, while others stared blankly at the ruined homes, while others called out the names of their missing family members or rummaged in vain through the rubble.

On the walls of the imperial city, Liu Xie's expression finally relaxed, and he who had been paying attention to Jiang Wei's breath happened to see Zhou Ping and the others leaving Chang'an safely in the clouds, and the stone in his heart was finally put down; But on the other side, Wang Yun, who has smoothed out the current situation, has an old face that is even darker.

When the thunder and lightning stop, then the siege terminated by the thunder and lightning should begin.

Sure enough, just as Wang Yun was thinking, near the breached city gate in the distance, flags were erected, and then, the Li Dao Guo Yan coalition army, mixed with all kinds of armor, poured towards the imperial city like a tide.

"Brothers, the thunder just now was to punish Wang Yun, the old bastard, he murdered Master Dong, even God can't stand it, now it's up to us to kill Wang Yun, snatch the emperor back, and do the right thing for heaven!"

On the tower of the city, Li Dao shouted to the soldiers under the city to make the final pre-war mobilization, this Li Dao was born as a thief, and he was mixed into the position of a powerful general under Dong Zhuo, and his ability to pull the banner of the tiger is not covered.

And the soldiers under the city, after listening to Li Wei's mobilization, although the regular Xiliang army was only a minority, and most of them were just homeless people and bandits, the look on their faces also changed from panic or greed to a solemn look.

"Do the right thing for heaven! Do the right thing for heaven! ”

Shouting slogans and taking sonorous steps, the soldiers stepped through the rubble burned by lightning and rushed towards the imperial city.

"Master, what should I do?"

Looking at the enemy troops flocking to the imperial city, the deputy general beside Wang Yun hurriedly asked, Wang Yun looked to the sides of him with a bitter brow. Although the Praetorian Guards responsible for guarding the imperial city looked brightly armored, Wang Yun still knew in his heart what their actual strength was.

After Dong Zhuo's death, he naturally had a purge of the army, and the consequence of the purge was that the combat effectiveness of the troops was insufficient.

In addition to combat effectiveness, there is an even more embarrassing point, that is, the number of these Praetorian Guards is too small, even if you count the soldiers who were defeated with Wang Yun, the soldiers under Wang Yun are only three or four thousand, which is not enough at all.

"Haven't heard from a few generals yet?"

Sighing, Wang Yun asked, since he withdrew to the imperial city, he has lost the news of several generals under his command, Lu Bu naturally does not need to say it, he ran under his nose, and now he thinks that he should have died in that thunderbolt, as for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, some people say that they fought at their respective city gates, and some people say that they were defeated, but there are thousands of messages, but none of them is accurate.

"Still not."

The lieutenant shook his head, then looked around before speaking again.

"Taishi, why don't we send the Son of Heaven back to the palace, this wall is really dangerous when we fight, if we hurt the Son of Heaven......"

The adjutant general didn't say the rest of the words, he looked at Wang Yun, everything was silent.

“……”

Wang Yun looked at Liu Xie, Liu Xie couldn't see any expression at this time, he looked at the tide of soldiers rushing towards him, his eyes were a little indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

“…… No, let the Son of Heaven stay here. ”

Ignoring Liu Xie's expression, Wang Yun shook his head, this deputy general is still a little whimsical, and said that he wants to fight, if it really starts, how can these people in his hands resist it.

Therefore, this battle must not be fought, and the key to not letting this battle start is the young man next to him.

"The thief is coming, how can my Han Emperor hide in the deep palace by taking the enemy's edge? When standing at the head of the city, drum me Han Tianwei! ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Yun explained to the adjutant general with a righteous face, and deliberately said it loudly so that other soldiers could also hear it. It's just that I can't tell how convincing this is, after all, everyone knows the current situation, and it is no longer something that can be solved by the Son of Heaven standing up to boost morale.

However, these words obviously paralyzed Wang Yun himself, he looked at the Son of Heaven beside him, and then looked at the tide of soldiers rushing here, and his heart was inexplicably confident.

……

"It's the mentality of making big things."

In the ruins of the stone room, there was a purple mist in front of Sima Yi's eyes, and the scene in Chang'an City appeared in the rolling purple mist, and he commented with a smile while watching.

Lu Bu was rescued without danger, and Sima Zhao was also rescued by Sima Shi, although he was injured, his life was worry-free, and he could recover after a while. And there is also an unexpected joy, that is, that Yu Ji seems to have an accident.

As a result, Sima Yi's gloomy mood finally cleared, and he even had the heart to see the excitement in Chang'an City.

"Just a mediocre person."

With a somewhat sarcastic male voice sounding behind him, Sima Yi turned around suddenly, but at some point, Jia Xu had already come to his side.

"It's really you hiding here, and now I'm starting to be a little curious about the grievances between you and them."

Jia Xu said with a smile, looking at the tone, it was as if the two had a good relationship.

"Mr. Wenhe."

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Sima Yi also responded with a smile.

"Yo, the Qi Cultivation Kung Fu is rising."

"Thank you, sir."

Sima Yi bowed and said, he bowed slightly, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

"Yes, now I finally have the appearance of a military advisor and strategist, and I am no longer the child who acts nonsense by relying on his knowledge of the way of heaven."

"I wonder what happened to Mr. Wenhe coming here?"

After the polite words were finished, Sima Yi cut directly to the point, although in terms of results, Jia Xu did not destroy his plan, but let Sima Yi and Jia Xu coexist, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"It was fine, but now, I have a problem."

"Questions?"

Sima Yi was stunned, this person calculated himself before, why did he start asking himself questions again, not to mention how thick-skinned he was, he really trusted himself?

"That old way, who is Zuo Ci?"

Jia Xu put away the smile on his face and said slightly.

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Cheng is finally interested in the way of heaven? ”

Hearing this question, Sima Yi knew in his heart, the smile on his face was a little playful, after all, he had taken the initiative to ask Jia Xu many times about things related to the way of heaven, but Jia Xu refused, and now this Jia Xu took the initiative to find himself, and also proposed the name of Zuo Ci, presumably he must have experienced something before.

"I'm still not interested, it's just a necessity to know myself and my opponent."
