Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1097 Yang Jian's Attack
Chapter 1095: Yang Jian Attacks
After Dong Zhuo's fall and Li Yuan's death in battle, Yang Jian, who supported Dong Zhuo's coffin and returned to Guanzhong, easily entered Chang'an and became the nominal leader of the Liang army.

Of course, Yang Jian is only the head of the Liang army in name, and it is not an easy task for Yang Jian to completely subdue the rebellious Liang army.

The Liang army is divided into three factions, the Liang faction, the Tang faction, and the Sui faction. The three parties restrain each other and maintain balance.

The Liang faction directly subordinate to Dong Zhuo is the most powerful among the three factions, but the military power is scattered in the hands of the major Liang generals. If Dong Zhuo was around, they were still united. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the Liang faction has become the least united among the three factions. series.

The strength of the Tang faction was second, but because Li Yuan died in battle and Li Shimin disappeared, the Tang faction was in a situation without a leader.

The strength of the Sui faction is the weakest among the three factions. After all, the battle against Dong was fought in Sizhou, the base camp of the Sui faction. Not only did the Sui faction suffer the most serious losses in this battle, but they even lost their base camp Sizhou completely.

However, although the overall strength of the Sui family has been greatly weakened, the situation they are facing is unprecedentedly good.

Dong Zhuo's fall, Li Yuan's death in battle, and Li Shimin's disappearance made Yang Jian the most prestigious man in the Liang army.

As Yang Jian played the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo, this also allowed him to get the support of most of the cool generals.

With the support of the Liang and Sui factions, Yang Jian can be said to be the trend of the times. The leaderless Tang faction and some Liang factions in the wait-and-see are powerless to prevent Yang Jian from taking power, and even some Tang faction generals have taken refuge in Yang Jian.

Yang Jian used various methods of rising and falling secretly to eliminate dissidents and suppress them bit by bit, and these methods of power Yang Jian caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people and the army.

Dong Gong just died, you, Yang Jian, don't want to avenge the old master, but spend all your thoughts on fighting for power and profit. Is this kind of narrow-minded person really qualified to be the master of the Liang army?
There are not a few people who have this idea, but Yang Jian is powerful, and no one in Kansai can stop him, so everyone can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

Yang Jian actually knows that his reputation is very bad recently. After all, those who have been deprived of their rights by him will definitely deliberately smear his reputation in order to vent their dissatisfaction.

Yang Jian didn't care much about this. No matter how these people scolded him now, they would praise him as much after he took power completely.

Therefore, Yang Jian not only did not restrain himself, but intensified his suppression of dissidents, and even withdrew the military power of some of the Liang faction generals who supported him.

Yang Jian exhausted all means, and finally controlled [-]% of the Liang army's military power. He finally became the real overlord of Kansai.

Perhaps Yang Jian would never have imagined that Lin Chaoying was dissatisfied precisely because he suppressed dissidents, and Lin Chaoying accidentally saved Li Shimin's life in the Tongfu Inn, and the biggest threat since he took power is finally coming.

Chang'an, Sui Duke's Mansion.

"Husband, that girl Xiaowan is too stubborn, and my concubine's words are almost broken, but she just doesn't want to marry me, Guang'er." Dugu Jialuo said helplessly.

Yang Jian frowned slightly, and said lightly, "What's the reason?"

In Yang Jian's heart, his son Yang Guang is not as good as Qin Hao and Li Shimin, but he is also one of the best young heroes in the world. Many women are not qualified to marry into the Yang family as concubines. Why don't you, Dong Xiaowan, not want to?

Dugu Jialuo smiled wryly, and said, "Xiao Wan said she just doesn't like Guang'er."

"Don't like it? Just don't like it?"

Yang Jian showed a funny expression. In his opinion, Dong Xiaowan is simply too ignorant. If he hadn't protected the whole Dong family, Dong Zhuo's enemies would have wiped out the Dong family ten times.

It's okay for this girl to be ungrateful, and she doesn't even want to find a reason to find a better one. Do you want to refuse to propose marriage just because you don't like it?Do you think you will spoil her like Dong Zhuo?

Yang Jian completely forgot that Dong Zhuo actually died at his hands. It was precisely because he killed Dong Zhuo that the old and weak women and children of the Dong family were bullied, and he, Yang Jian, was the culprit.

Killing someone's father, and using someone's daughter in a righteous manner, I am afraid that few people can compare to Yang Jian in terms of shamelessness.

"Whether to marry or not, Dong Xiaowan has nothing to say."

A cold light flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and he said coldly, "She must marry Guang'er."

Seeing this, Dugu Jialuo said with some hesitation: "Husband, this is not good. Dong Zhuo bullied her orphans and widowed mother not long after her death. If this news gets out, some generals in the army will definitely be dissatisfied. "

"Then just don't spread the word."

Yang Jian's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Order people to surround Dong's mansion, and don't give Dong Xiaowan any chance to contact the generals."

"But Guang'er is not willing to marry Xiaowan, he has always regarded Xiaowan as his younger sister."

"It's ridiculous. They are not related by blood. What's wrong with being close?"

"Can……"

"Don't worry about it, it's settled."

The reason why Yang Jian forced Dong Xiaowan to marry Yang Guang was entirely to obtain the status of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law for his son, so that he would become Dong Zhuo's in-laws, and it would be more justifiable for him to be in charge of the Liang army, and people from the Tang family would not criticize him reason.

Therefore, no matter whether Dong Xiaowan and Yang Guang are willing or not, Yang Jian will let Dong Xiaowan marry Yang Guang, which cannot be changed by anyone.

"It's… okay."

Seeing her husband's resolute face, Dugu Jialuo didn't dare to persuade her, and then said: "Husband, are you thinking about your title of queen? Most generals of the Liang family want you to inherit it." The title of Liang Wang'."

"It's absolutely impossible."

Yang Jian resolutely refused, and said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo is just my old master, not my father? Why should I inherit his title?"

Dong Zhuo's influence on the Liang army is too great. In order to get rid of Dong Zhuo's influence and completely turn the Liang army into his own Sui army, Yang Jian also worked hard, so it is naturally impossible to inherit the title of "King of Liang", and "King of Sui" It is the title that Yang Jian should have.

Yang Jian actually didn't want to become king so soon, but Dong Zhuo, the former leader of the Liang army, was a king, and if he, who inherited Dong Zhuo's legacy, didn't become king, wouldn't it mean that Yang Jian was inferior to Dong Zhuo?So Yang Jian must be king no matter what.

Just then, an amazing news came.

"Report... to my lord, Hangu Pass has been captured by the Qin army."

"What? How is this possible?"

Yang Jian's face was full of disbelief. Although the strength of Hangu Pass is not large, it's impossible that they can't even hold on to the reinforcements?So how did the Qin army break through Hangu Pass?

Yang Jian didn't have time to care about these things. Now that Hangu Pass has fallen, the east gate of Guanzhong has been lost, and the entire Guanzhong is facing the front of the Qin army.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yang Lin outside the pass will be completely reduced to a lone army. These tens of thousands of troops are all Yang Jian's confidantes.

Soon, Yang Jian called all the generals together and began to discuss how to deal with it.

Although there is Tongguan after Hanguguan, after all, Tongguan is a newly built pass and has never experienced war. No one knows whether Tongguan can serve as a portal.

"Yang Guang, where is Yang Jian?"

Yang Guang and Yang Jian stood up at the same time, clasped their fists together and said, "The end is here."

"Now Yang Guang is appointed as the main general, and Yang Jian is the deputy general, leading an army of [-] to go out. Be sure to retake Hangu Pass for me."

"promise."

Both Yang Guang and Yang Jian looked excited, but many generals of the Liang family were a little uneasy.

Both the chief general and the deputy general are members of the Yang family. Do you, Yang Jian, distrust us so much?
