Chapter 109 The entire Chang'an became a pot of porridge

There was not much contact between Xi Yu and Liu Bei.

He just heard that Liu Bei had planted seedlings in the yard, and he felt a little curious, so he couldn't help but go and take a look.

Sure enough, Liu Bei actually planted such a thing as chili peppers.

You must know that in this era of the Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as chili peppers.

If this thing was really introduced to China, I don't know how many years later, until the early Ming Dynasty, there was a large-scale chili pepper.

And now, Liu Bei has actually planted it by mistake.

Xi Yu knew the role of chili peppers, so naturally he was not polite at all.

And come to think of it, in the original history, even if Liu Bei planted this thing, I am afraid that he would not know the specific use of chili peppers.

Perhaps, it has been forgotten in the long river of history.

This is also normal.

After getting some chili peppers from Liu Bei, Xi Yu didn't take the initiative to visit the other party in the following time.

And Cao Cao knew more or less about this matter.

Cao Cao was extremely trusting of Xi Yu and didn't ask too much.

He only knew that Xi Yu got something from Liu Bei, and it wasn't until later that Xi Yu promoted the addition of chili peppers, and Cao Cao was even more relieved.

That's for later, of course!

After leaving Liu Bei's place, until the end of the year, the whole of Yanzhou was peaceful.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed.

A new round of spring ploughing has begun to unfold in a hurry!

And at the beginning of the year, the eyes of the princes of the entire Han Dynasty were all staring at the Guanzhong region.

I don't know why.

Guo Yan and Li Wei, who were stationed in the Sili area, began to have a gap between the two.

And as the gap grows larger and wider, a huge contradiction gradually arises between the two.

Both of them wanted to take Han Tianzi for themselves.

Perhaps it is because the eyes of the princes have not fallen on the Son of Heaven in recent years, which has made the two begin to relax a lot.

The original alliance began to fall apart in an instant.

Now, after a period of time, the contradiction between the two has begun to get bigger and bigger.

Juancheng Government Office.

Not long after the New Year, because of the matter between Guo and Li, even with Xi Yu, he could only go to the government office to discuss matters.

These two people had the same enemy before, and the emperor of Han was under the control of the two, and it was difficult for other princes to interfere.

But now, as the two began to have a dislike between them, Cao Cao and others saw a lot of opportunities.

In the government office, Xun Yu took the lead in speaking.

"Lord, Guo Yan and Li Dao are infighting, this is the time for me to welcome the Son of Heaven!"

Xun Yu's voice fell, and Xi Zhicai on the side also smiled.

"I heard that the Son of Heaven is about to return to the east at this time, and we will welcome the Son of Heaven, which is just in time!"

Cao Cao was also a little moved.

At the beginning, Xun Yu even said that it was good to welcome the Son of Heaven.

Cao Cao naturally understands that if he can keep the Son of Heaven close at hand, then he will be able to do things much easier.

Even, in the name of the Son of Heaven, it is a very good thing to crusade against other states.

Li Dao and Guo Yan are infighting!

This matter, Xi Yu is more or less clear.

If I remember correctly, it was probably just after the New Year, and Fan Chou, under Li Dao, planned to lead the army eastward, and Li Dao was a little afraid that Fan Chou would become bigger.

After all, compared to Li Dao himself, Fan Chou's character in the entire Xiliang Army is much better than him.

Fan Chou is more popular.

In addition, last year, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others led the army to attack, Li Wei noticed that Fan Chou intended to let Han Sui and others go, and he already had some resentment towards Fan Chou.

After that, Li Dao and his nephew invited Fan Chou and Li Meng to a banquet together.

As a result, Fan Chou and the others didn't know that Li Wei was setting up the so-called Hongmen Banquet.

At this banquet, Li Wei's nephew did not hesitate to kill Fan Chou and others.

After this incident, all the generals under Li Dao began to be a little frightened.

But Li Dao didn't care much about this.

His people and Guo Yan are still the same as usual.

It's a pity that Guo Yan's wife is jealous, and she hates Li Wei because of the reason why Li Dao gave Guo Yan a concubine before.

Then began to sow discord between the two.

This gap also appeared because of this, followed by because of Li Dao's previous killing of Fan Chou and others, Guo Yan was afraid that Li Dao would want to kill himself.

Therefore, the two fought.

And the battle between the two naturally attracted the attention of all the princes in the world.

"I don't think it's time yet!"

Hearing that the people in the government office had begun to plan to welcome the Son of Heaven, Xi Yu couldn't help but say a word.

As soon as he said this, the entire lobby of the government office fell silent for a moment.

"What do you mean by that?"

Cao Cao hurriedly asked Xi Yu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Li Dao and Guo Yan started to fight this time, the two of them did not seem to be defeated at this time!"

"If we have the intention of welcoming the Son of Heaven this time, it is inevitable that these two will not be reunited!"

"After all, compared to the interests of the Son of Heaven, there are some misunderstandings, but they are actually nothing!"

What Xi Yu said is extremely simple, in general, the problem between these two people is not a big deal.

The two of them still had some friendship before.

Now, if other external forces appear, it is very likely that the two will stand together again.

When these two people stand together, the entire Sili region is controlled, and it will be even more difficult for others to meddle in the affairs of the Son of Heaven!

For Xi Yu, sooner or later, the Son of Heaven himself will return to the east.

Rather than meddle now, it is better to wait like this, and wait for the Son of Heaven to come out of Chang'an City by himself.

"What Fengyi said, there is some truth in it!"

Hearing Xi Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded along with him.

The reason is correct, if someone else makes a move, it will be easy to reunite Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had already fought.

It's just that the opportunity to welcome the Son of Heaven is hard to give up!

"The Son of Heaven also wants to return to the east, but today's Luoyang is no longer the imperial capital of the past!"

"Right now, the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, and it is difficult for our army to enter Chang'an, so it is better to wait for the Son of Heaven to come out by himself!"

Xi Yu explained casually.

"That's right, sooner or later, the Son of Heaven will return to the east, since he wants to return east, then he will leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang!"

"When he leaves Chang'an, it will really be an opportunity to welcome the Son of Heaven!"

……

Si Li, in Chang'an City!

Liu Xie, the fourteen-year-old son of the Han Dynasty, was in the Chang'an Palace.

With the drought in Guanzhong, the daily food of the entire Chang'an Palace has been reduced a lot.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's attitude towards him is becoming more and more like Dong Zhuo back then.

Liu Xie, who was getting older, knew that if he wanted to get rid of the control of these two people, he could not continue to stay in Chang'an.

He wants to go back to Luoyang and return to the original imperial capital.

If you want to reorganize the entire Dahan River and Mountain, you must have someone who can really rely on it.

Li Dao and Guo Yan are all jackals.

"How did the ministers discuss the matter of returning to the east?"

Liu Xie asked the attendant on the side, and the latter had an ugly expression on his face when he heard this.

Although the ministers in the court are all in favor of returning to the east, this matter still has to be nodded by Li Dao and the others after all.

These two people don't nod, although these people in the court are intentional, they can't do anything after all!

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are still discussing!"

The attendant couldn't bear to say it bluntly, and he didn't say much about returning to the east.

Liu Xie only thought that those people had not yet discussed the return journey.

As if thinking of something again, Liu Xie couldn't help but ask again.

"What is the disaster situation of the people in Guanzhong, why has the Taicang order named Xi Yu not come to the court to report on his work?"

For Taicang Lingxiyu, Liu Xie still remembers it somewhat.

Thinking of the disaster in Guanzhong now, Liu Xie couldn't help but ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, the disaster situation in various places has been alleviated, and the Taicang Order has not reported on its work, so I think it has been rushing to provide disaster relief."

……

Inside the Li Dao Mansion in Chang'an.

"General, now that it is the time of spring ploughing, the people of Chang'an today are no longer one in ten, and most of the people have fled to other places because of the disaster!"

The generals in charge of spring ploughing under Li Dao were a little helpless.

Nowadays, the Chang'an area is full of deserted land, and because of last year's disaster, these people have almost fled before the year.

Now that it is the spring ploughing season, there are very few people in Chang'an who come out to farm.

In this case, how much harvest can there be in this year's spring ploughing?

Even under such circumstances, if he continued to stay in Chang'an, he felt that it would be a dead end.

There is not the slightest chance of life!

In comparison, the old capital of Luoyang, after all these years of recuperation, is much better than Chang'an.

"You mean to approve of what the ministers said about returning to the East?"

Li Wei glanced at his general, who was silent, which could be regarded as approval.

Seeing this situation, Li Dao took a deep breath.

He can see the current scene of Chang'an.

It's just that at the moment, he and Guo Yan are gradually contradictory.

Although he controls the Son of Heaven, Guo Yan will never sit idly by, and if there is no result between the two this time, he will not easily go out of Chang'an.

……

End of March!

Guo Yan and the Anxi general Yang Ding plotted to rob the emperor.

This happened very quickly, but unfortunately, this matter was known to Li Dao one step in advance.

He was closer to Emperor Liu Xie.

At the first time, Li Dao rushed to welcome Emperor Xian to his camp.

Chang'an Palace City is no longer stable, and Li Dao feels that it is better to put the emperor by his side.

At present, he and Guo Yan have begun to tear their faces, and they are staring at each other's precious pimple of the emperor.

For this reason, Li Dao asked his soldiers to plunder the palace.

robbed the royal palace gold silk, rides, car clothes and other utensils, followed by Dong Zhuo back then, and directly set fire to the palace, the government, and the private houses for a while.

The entire Chang'an City, which was finally built, was once again shrouded in fire.

After this happened, Liu Xie's whole person was not good.

At only fourteen years old, he had already experienced Dong Zhuo's robbery before, and after being robbed by Li Dao again, the whole person was terrified.

He knew that all Li Dao cared about was his identity.

Although it will not be dead, such a day is too embarrassing.

With previous experiences, Liu Xie could only endure it.

If you want to return to the east now, the only way to dispel the struggle between Li Dao and Guo Yan is to leave the area of Chang'an, and maybe you can usher in a new vitality.

Early April.

Liu Xie sent more than ten ministers such as Taiwei Yang Biao and Sikong Zhang Xi to Guo Yan to make peace for Li Wei, and now, he is in Li Wei's camp, so he naturally wants Guo Yan to bow his head.

It's a pity that when he heard Liu Xie's persuasion intentions, Guo Yan didn't care at all, but on the contrary, he conveniently detained Yang Biao and others in his camp.

"Guo Yan, Er is Hanchen, now he doesn't respect the edict of the Son of Heaven, what do you want, do you want to rebel?"

Inside the camp of Guo Yan.

Yang Biao, who was a lieutenant, was furious when he saw Guo Yan detaining their group.

In front of Guo Yan, Yang Biao scolded the other party directly!

Hearing this, Guo Yan's whole person was furious!

"Old horseman, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

For Guo Yan, Yang Biao is nothing, now in his own camp, how can he let Yang Biao talk nonsense here.

The name of the rebellion is too big.

Although some things are not much different from rebellion, Guo Yan still dare not undertake such a name.

Even Dong Zhuo at the beginning did not dare to directly show that he had the intention of rebellion.

Although Dong Zhuo's things are not much different from rebellion, there are still some things that cannot be said on the surface.

Dong Zhuo's experience is already there, and Guo Yan feels that he is not a character like Dong Zhuo.

He just wants to be rich!

Now that the Son of Heaven asked him to bow his head towards Li Dao, how could this be possible!

Li Dao wanted to kill him.

"Why, Er and that Li Dao are the same as the raccoon dogs, one robs the Son of Heaven, the other robs the minister, it's not a rebellion, and why?"

Yang Biao is still scolding!

Guo Yan couldn't help but pull the long knife out of his waist, and his generals hurriedly blocked Guo Yan with this kung fu.

"General, Yang Biao is the third prince of the fourth world at this time, and his reputation is very wide, and there will be endless troubles after killing him!"

"General, you can't kill it, if you kill this person, I'm afraid it will lead the world to crusade!"

Hearing the advice of the two people on the side, Guo Yan suppressed the impulse in his heart a little stupidly.

Yang Biao's scolding is still the same, but at this moment, Guo Yan has already made people suppress him.

"Order, raise troops, and today we will divide the victory and defeat with Li Dao!"

With the anger in his heart, Guo Yan couldn't bear it a little, thinking that the originally good situation was all due to Li Wei.

And now, Chang'an can't stay in this place after all.

At the moment, he only has to split the winner with Li Dao.

The one who wins will be able to take Liu Xie, the son of heaven, all the way out of Chang'an and go straight to the old capital!

In mid-April, Guo Yan led his army to attack Li Dao.

The two armies were on the expedition, Li Dao was wounded by a hidden arrow, and was finally defeated, if it were not for his subordinate Yang Feng to bring troops to help as soon as possible, Li Dao almost died because of this.

With Yang Feng's participation in the war, Guo Yan had no choice but to retreat.

Li Dao then took the Han Emperor Liu Xie to the North Dock of Chang'an, and then isolated the inside and outside.

In this battle, after all, there was no winner or loser, and Li Dao and the two fought with each other, and both were injured.

But such a situation is extremely difficult for Liu Xie.

Originally, he could at least stay in Chang'an Palace, although his life was not very good, but it was much stronger than now.

At least, you don't have to be held hostage and run around.

Subsequently, Liu Xie couldn't help but make the servant of the confessor shoot Huangfu Li to make peace for Li Dao and Guo Yan.

However, because Li Dao was injured by a dark arrow in the last battle, this time without waiting for Guo Yan to respond, Li Dao refused to agree 10,000.

Now that he talks about peace, doesn't he say that he is not as good as Guo Yan?

The two still have to fight, and the chaos in Chang'an still begins to continue, and under the chaotic war, the people who have been living near Chang'an are also unbearable.

In just one month, the people of Chang'an have become more and more scarce, and on the ground of the wilderness, you can see the corpses of soldiers exposed on the flat ground everywhere.

In May, because of the reason of holding Liu Xie hostage, Li Dao proclaimed himself the Great Sima, and Liu Xie was helpless about it.

The Li Dao in front of him is becoming more and more like Dong Zhuo's figure back then.

The self-proclaimed Great Sima is above the Three Dukes, what is the difference between this and the original Dong Zhuo's self-proclaimed Xiangguo.

"Li Dao!"

In the Beiwu house, Liu Xie looked at the attendant in front of him, and the tips of his teeth were about to bite blood.

The attendants on the side knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger!"

"Now Your Majesty's comfort is all pinned on this person's body, if Your Majesty annoys the other party, I am afraid of disaster!"

Liu Xie shuddered.

First is Dong Zhuo, followed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, in this world, are there still people loyal to the court?

Is there anyone else who thinks about him, the Son of Heaven?

"Say, what the hell am I going to do?"

Liu Xie seemed to be a little out of voice, and after saying this, the corners of his mouth opened several times in a row, but there was no sound at all.

When the attendants on the side heard this, they hurriedly admonished.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao of Hebei Province is a person who thinks about the Han Dynasty, and the same is true of Cao Cao of Yanzhou!"

"The minister heard before that when the Ten Standing Servants were in rebellion, it was these two people who were dedicated to Han!"

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao?

Liu Xie was a little stunned, where are these two now?

"Your Majesty, you can send an envoy to let these two people come to meet you!"

Welcome?

Liu Xie was a little stunned, and then nodded helplessly!

"In this way, I invite these two to come and welcome me back!"

……

Liu Xie sent envoys to find Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but the idea of him and his attendants was a little taken for granted after all.

Now that Liu Xie is under the control of Li Dao, how can Li Dao not know the news that he wants to send an envoy.

The so-called messenger did not even go out of the barracks, and the next day his head was already hung on the east gate.

The chaos in Chang'an is changing too fast, and Cao Cao and others, who are in Yanzhou, have been paying attention to the situation in Chang'an.

The battle between Li Dao and Guo Yan became more and more intense, which was an extremely good thing for Cao Cao and the others.

Whether these two people live or die, Cao Cao doesn't care at all.

The only thing he cares about is Liu Xie!

"Chang'an is quite lively!"

In the Juancheng Government Office, everyone in Cao Ying discussed matters as usual.

Speaking of Chang'an's situation, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but laugh.

In his opinion, the time to welcome the Son of Heaven is not far away!

And now, in the entire Guanzhong area, except for the barracks battle between Li Dao and Guo Yan, there are very few ordinary people.

Under such circumstances, these two people won't last long.
