However, it was said that Liu Bei heard the report that Yuan Shu sent troops to approach Xuyi and Huaiyin, intending to seize Xuzhou, and urgently gathered people to discuss.

Zhang Fei shouted: "My brother worked hard to get a place to live, but Yuan Shu didn't know how to do it and wanted to seize Xuzhou." Yide is willing to take a military horse and kill him without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Guan Yu also said: "Since my brother took over Xuzhou, after more than a year of rectification, he has taken control of Tao Qian's old ministry and officials from all over the country, and his strength has increased greatly. Who is Yuan Shu? Dare to defy us and others, invade the border, and send troops to fight back to protect the safety of the people of Xuzhou. ”

Liu Bei was worried that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to attack.

Mi Zhu analyzed that Cao Cao had great ambitions when he first won Yanzhou, and he would definitely buy people's hearts, and he would not fail to learn from the last attack on Xuzhou, the cruelty of the people of Xuzhou, and the dissatisfaction of the people; Moreover, Cao Cao made an appointment with Yuan Shao to attack Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, so that if Jun Jin met Yuan Shu, he could just show his friendship to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would not attack Xuzhou for the time being.

Liu Bei was still hesitating.

Chen Deng also believed that since he took over Tao Qian to manage Xuzhou, he should take back the southeastern areas under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou to ensure a stable life for the people and establish prestige among the people.

Only then did Liu Bei decide to defend against Yuan Shu's attack to the east.

The next day, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei to guard the city, and specially instructed Deng Gang to take care of the meals of the two ladies, and led the army to Xuyi with Guan Yu to resist Yuan Shu.

is about to come to Xuyi, and he is meeting Ji Ling, the pioneer general of Yuan Shu.

Ji Ling is a famous general under Yuan Shu, brave and abnormal, wielding a fifty-pound three-pointed knife, and taking Liu Bei straight on his horse.

Guan Yu jumped on the horse and raised his sword to greet him, and more than 30 of them did not distinguish between victory and defeat.

Ji Ling stopped, and Guan Yu waited for him.

Ji Ling sent the deputy general Xun Zheng out of the horse, but Guan Yu disdained it: "Ji Ling is cowardly, but he asks others to die." ”

Xun Zheng shouted: "Use a knife to kill chickens." Thou nameless descendant, Hugh is mad. ”

Guan Yu was furious and took Xun Zheng directly.

Xun Zheng raised his sword to meet him, only one was chopped off by Guan Yu's knife, Liu Bei drove his troops to rush over, Yuan's army was defeated, retreated to the mouth of the Huaiyin River, and did not dare to set up a battle.

After that, the two armies held each other in Xuyi and Huaiyin, and did not mention it for the time being.

It is said that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was held hostage by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, like a prisoner under the stairs, the country has no country, and the emperor has no emperor form.

Dong Zhuo was killed by Situ Wang Yun first with a beauty trick and then with a discordant trick.

Li Dao and Guo Yan made a rebellion, killed Wang Yun, drove away Lu Bu, and regarded themselves as the great Sima and the general, unscrupulous and unscrupulous, compared to Dong Zhuoshi.

For a time, the court officials were silent, the emperor not only did not dare to speak, but also did not dare to be angry, the court was panicked all day long, the emperor was tired like a lost dog, the emperor sat in the dragon court, the ministers worshiped His Royal Highness, Chrysostom and Yuyan, the supreme authority was gone.

At this time, the quality of the government seems to have nothing to do with this hateful, angry, lamentable, pathetic, ridiculous, and pitiful supreme of the Han Dynasty.

Reading history so far, I can't help but lament: the dignity is still so difficult, how can the suffering of the common people be unspeakable.

Let's say that Li Dao and Guo Yan are not only embarrassed to make trouble, but also intrigue and fight for power.

Li Wei often held a banquet at his house to invite Guo Yan, and sometimes left Guo Yan to stay at his own home.

Guo Yan's wife is a vinegar jar, and she is afraid that Li Wei will send a concubine to Guo Yan and take away her love, so she wants to provoke their relationship.

On the third day of March in the second year of Xingping (195), Li Wei sent wine and food to Guo Yan, and Guo Yan's wife said that the tempeh in the dish was poison.

Before Guo Yan ate it, Guo's wife picked out the tempeh to show Guo Yan, and said a lot of bad things about Li Wei, which made Guo Yan suspicious.

A few days later, Li Dao invited Guo Yan to a banquet and made Guo Yan drunk.

Guo Yan suspected that Li Dao wanted to poison himself, so he hurriedly drank fecal juice to induce vomiting and relieve hangover.

After Guo Yan woke up, he became angry and ashamed, so the whole headquarters of the army attacked Li Dao.

When Li Dao heard the news, he was furious, so he ordered the soldiers of his headquarters to meet Guo Yan.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in two places fought under the city of Chang'an, only to see the sword light and sword shadow, only to kill in the dark, and tens of thousands of people died tragically.

The two armies under the city fought, and the soldiers in the city took the opportunity to loot the inhabitants, and the chaos was in chaos.

Yang Ding, the general of Anxi, was afraid that Li Dao would murder him, so he conspired with Guo Yan to kidnap Emperor Xian of Han.

But the plan was leaked to Li Dao, who preemptively attacked and sent his nephew Li Xian to abduct Emperor Xian, the empress, and the concubines of Han Xian to his camp.

Guo Yan saw that Li Dao had kidnapped the emperor, led troops into the palace, robbed the palace concubines, burned the palace, and led the army to Li Dao's camp to ask for the emperor.

Li Wei went out of the city to meet the battle, killed Guo Yan, sent Jia Xu and Zuo Ling to detain the emperor and the empress, and the rest of the palace attendants walked and then moved to Yiwu, and asked Li Xian to monitor and cut off contact with the outside world.

Emperor Xian, food and drink could not be provided in time, and the waiters were hungry, so he asked people to ask Li Wei for five rice and five ox bones, which were used to distribute the left and right meals.

Li Wei was displeased: "Delivering food twice in the morning and one in the evening is not enough, I am really not satisfied." "Then they sent in the moldy grain and the rotten meat.

Emperor Xian looked at the rotten grain and stinky meat that could not be eaten, and muttered angrily: "I didn't expect that I was bullied so much by the traitor? ”

Yang Qi hurriedly covered Emperor Xian's mouth: "Li Dao is cruel and poisonous, and he can do anything." It has come to this, and I have to endure it, so that no evil will come out of my mouth. ”

Emperor Xian bowed his head and was speechless, so he had to swallow his anger and tears filled the sleeves of his robe.

When Taiwei Yang Biao saw that Li Dao had kidnapped the Son of Heaven and Guo Bian burned the palace and plundered it, he and Zhu Jun, the great Si Nong, and more than 60 people, including Sikong Zhang Xi and Wei Wei Shi Sun Rui, went to Guo Bian's camp to persuade peace, but Guo Biao detained Yang Biao and the ministers as hostages.

Yang Biao said: "The ministers are fighting together, one of them kidnaps the Son of Heaven, and the other takes the minister as a hostage, what do you want? ”

Guo Yan was angry and drew his sword to kill Yang Biao and Zhu Jun.

Zhonglang persuaded Yang Mi, and Guo Yan released the two of them, and the rest of the prison camps were held.

When the two left the camp, Yang Biao said to Zhu Jun: "You and I, as ministers of social affairs, can't be the savior of Kuang Room, how can we survive alone!" "Hug each other and cry.

Yang Biao fainted on the ground and was rescued by his family; Zhu Jun went home and died of grief.

For more than 50 days after that, Li Dao and Guo Yan fought for days, and the number of dead is unknown.

Emperor Xian was banned, and he was sad and depressed all day long.

Yang Qi played in the waiter: "Jia Xu is resourceful, although he is Li Wei's confidant, he is dissatisfied with Li Wei's behavior, and he has never forgotten the king, so he can conspire with him." ”

On this day, Jia Xu came to see, and the emperor retreated left and right, crying and saying to Jia Xu: "Wangqing takes care of the Han family and tries to save me." ”

Jia Xu knelt down and bowed: "Kuang Room Savior, this minister wishes." Your Majesty must not say much, and the ministers should serve until death. ”

If the emperor receives tears and thanks, he will be crowned with an official position.

Jia Xu said: "Absolutely not. lest Li Dao be suspicious. ”

Emperor Xian issued a secret edict to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu knew that Huangfu Li was eloquent and a fellow villager in Xiliang, so he sent a secret edict and told him to go to the two places to make peace.

When Huangfu Li saw Guo Yan, with his three-inch tongue, he said that Guo Yan was moved, saying that it was true, only Li Wei sent out the Son of Heaven, even if he released the minister, and agreed to reconcile.

Huangfu Li saw Li Dao again, no matter how he used the past as a metaphor for the present, drew inferences from one another, and tried his best to speak, Li Dao just refused to reconcile.

Huangfu Li shouted: "Hijacking the Supreme and refusing to reconcile, do you want to kill the king and stand on your own?" ”

Li Dao was furious and drew his sword to kill Emperor Fuli.

Yang Feng, the commander of the cavalry, hurriedly dissuaded: "Now Guo Yan has not been eliminated, but he has killed the angel." Guo Yan is famous for sending troops, and the princes will help him crusade, and a catastrophe will come. ”

Jia Xu also strongly persuaded Li Wei's anger to subside.

Jia Xu took the opportunity to push Huang Fu Li out, and attached his ears to the clouds.

In accordance with the secret edict, Huangfu Li returned to Xiliang and threatened that "Li Dao conspired against him, and the people who followed him were all the same party, and there would be endless troubles."

Huangfu Li also passed Jia Xu's secret edict to the Qiang people: "The Son of Heaven knows that you are loyal and righteous, and you have fought and worked hard for a long time, and you will be rewarded in the future."

Most of the soldiers Li Dao were from Xiliang, and they were even helped by the Qiang soldiers.

After hearing the rumors, the people of Xiliang were panicked, and Li Weijun was disheartened; The Qiang people were complaining that Li Dao did not give him a reward, so they withdrew their troops and returned, and Li Dao's army gradually declined.

Li Dao believed in the art of left-hand demons and often asked witches to beat drums in the army.

Jia Xu repeatedly refused to listen to the persuasion, and took advantage of the secret to present the emperor: "Li Dao is greedy and unplanned, and now the soldiers are scattered and cowardly, and he wants to take advantage of the protection of demons and evils. ”

At this time, what is the official value of the Han family? Emperor Xian sent an edict to entitle Li Dao as the Great Sima, ranking above the three dukes.

Li Dao was overjoyed: "This is all the power of the witch's séance and prayer", so he rewarded the witch heavily, but did not reward the general.

Jia Xu said to Yang Feng: "We civilian strategists, if we don't get promoted, we will be rewarded." Generals such as Captain Ru, who has been through a hundred battles, are born and die, and their merits are not as good as witches, which is really uneven. ”

Yang Feng was dissatisfied, and discussed with the general Song Guo to kill the thief and save the emperor, and agreed that Song Guo would set fire to the camp that night, and Yang Feng would respond outside.

Unexpectedly, a Xiliang sergeant under Song Guo secretly reported to Li Dao, and Li Dao was furious, first beheaded Song Guo, and then set fire to lure Yang Feng.

Yang Feng was about to be killed in the camp, Li Dao led the army out of the camp, the two armies fought to the fourth watch, Yang Feng was defeated and retreated, led the army to escape to Xi'an, and finally Nanshan, met Xu Huang, the county official of Hedong County, Sili.

Xu Huang, whose name is Gongming, was a native of Yang County, Hedong County (now Hongdong County, Shanxi), persuaded Yang Feng to garrison the mountain, and then found an opportunity to save the Son of Heaven and return to Luoyang.

However, it is said that Zhang Ji and Li Wei, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou raised troops to capture Chang'an, and were named the general of Zhendong and the Marquis of Pingyang County.

Zhang Ji heard that Li Dao and Guo Yan robbed the Son of Heaven, coerced the people, fought for days, and the force was slightly weaker, so he went from Hongnong to Chang'an through Shaanxi County to persuade peace.

Li Dao felt that the Qiang soldiers had withdrawn, the army was discouraged, and after Yang Feng and Song Guo rebelled, the army was not strong, so he betrayed his personal favor and sent someone to Zhang Ji's army to make peace.

Guo Yan had no choice but to promise and prepare to negotiate peace.

Zhang Ji informed the two and exchanged their respective sons with each other as hostages.

But Li Wei's wife loves her son Li Shi very much and is unwilling to exchange.

Zhang Ji claimed that "if there is any disobedience, lead troops to attack".

Only then did Li Wei agree to exchange their daughters as hostages, and the two sides reconciled.

Zhang Ji saw that the two agreed to reconcile, so he went to the table and asked the Son of Heaven to take advantage of Hongnong.

Emperor Xian's face was happy: "I have missed the eastern capital for a long time, and it is a great blessing to have the opportunity to return to the east." So he worshiped Zhang Ji as a hussar general, and opened a mansion like the three princes to summon Peng's subordinates.
