Changan.

Li Jue and Guo Si invaded the city, first wiping out the resisting troops inside and outside the city, and then clearing out the noble officials who plotted to kill Dong Zhuo.

It's just that when they occupied Chang'an, Lu Bu ran away in the chaos. There was no way. It was really difficult for ordinary soldiers to stop Lu Bu. He ran away from the east gate, but it was not a big problem.

But just when they occupied the palace, something big happened.

They just wanted to kill Situ Wang Yun, but this exciting scene made Liu Xie, who was still sick and weak, see this scene, which made it worse.

Liu Xieyi could not afford to fall ill, and his symptoms were getting worse and worse, and his life was in danger.

This frightened Li Ru and others.

The emperor can be sick, but he cannot die!

Even if the Han Dynasty is torn apart, even if he is only an emperor in name, as long as the world is Han Dynasty and as long as they are Han officials, they cannot be charged with regicide, even if they did not kill the emperor.

However, things eventually developed in the worst direction. The emperor was a child. He had never had a good sleep or a good meal since he moved west to Chang'an. In addition, there were various other reasons, such as someone poisoning him for a long time. , and it is a chronic poison that cannot be discovered.

In the end, the little emperor could not survive the winter and died.

Although Li Ru tried his best to block the news, and Li Jue immediately sealed the palace gates and killed the servants and maids in the palace, there was a chaos in Chang'an at that time, so something must have slipped through the net.

The news cannot be blocked.

When he went to court the next day, the emperor was not there, but in order to stabilize everyone's hearts, Li Ru announced that the emperor was seriously ill and that Li Jue would supervise the country. It seemed like that.

Li Jue proclaimed himself General of Chariots and Cavalry, Kaifu, Lingsi Li Xiaowei, Jiejie, and Marquis of Chiyang, Guo Bin became General of the Rear, Marquis of Meiyang, and Fan Chou became General You, Marquis of Wannian, and went out to garrison You Fufeng. Zhang Ji was awarded the title of General Zhendong and went out to station in Zuofengyi.

After all, paper cannot cover the fire, Chang'an City, the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion.

Li Jue: "Wen You, the King of Hejian must have received the emperor... What should we do?"

Li Ruren was also numb. He did not expect Liu Han to move so quickly. The leading army had already occupied Tongguan. He originally wanted Zhang Ji to go to Hongnong County in order to capture Tongguan and prevent the army of the King of Hejian from advancing westward, but they had just entered Chang'an. Not long after, I received news from Hongnong that Tongguan was lost, and the person who captured Tongguan was Duan Zhao, the military god in the hearts of Xiliang people.

Li Ru: "When Duan Jiong captured Tongguan, it was not necessarily because he had received the news, but more like his own decision. What I am more afraid of is that King Hejian has already received the news."

Guo Si: "Wen You, among us Xiliang people, you are the only one with the best brains. What do you think we should do?"

Li Jue: "Yes. Besides, that person's death, to be honest, has nothing to do with us."

Li Ru: "The most important thing now is to find out the cause of death. It's best to find a scapegoat."

"This……"

Li Jue and Guo Bang looked at each other and said, "This is the only thing we can do."

  Five days.

No matter how they checked, they all died of illness, but they died of illness sooner or later, but they died of illness at this time. No matter how they washed it, they couldn't get rid of the pot.

And they also received the latest news, the King of Hejian is coming! Li Jue urgently summoned Li Ru and Guo Bang for a meeting. In Chang'an, he could only appoint two new people who also belonged to Xiliang. The information came from one of his own people who risked his life.

Li Jue: "You two, let's take a look at the latest information from the east."

Guo Bang unfolded the silk, and the first sentence frightened him: "What's going on?!"

Li Ru also frowned: "Is the fight over in Jizhou over?"

They never expected that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's vigorous struggle for hegemony, with hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides fighting for the boundary bridge, would end in such a dramatic way.

In their expectation, Gongsun Zan should win. After all, Gongsun Zan had the advantage of cavalry.

But Gongsun Zan lost, and lost miserably, and Yuan Shao made a miraculous comeback!
  An even more dramatic thing happened. Before Yuan Shao could take a breath, the King of Hejian went south. However, Yuan Shao's original momentum of beating Gongsun Zan was gone, and he lost miserably, almost losing his underwear.

Li Jue: "On the Jizhou side, the King of Hejian has already obtained everything. In other words, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan cannot become our potential allies and share the pressure of the King of Hejian for us."

With that said, Li Jue handed the second piece of information to the two of them, "Let's take a look, that person is coming."

The second intelligence showed that after the King of Hejian captured Jizhou, he began to gather a large army to march westward. He had [-] troops, of which cavalry accounted for the majority.

Li Ru: "Fifty thousand people..."

If it were other princes, [-] people would not be a concern. There are [-] people on my side, which is not a waste at all. But the other party is Liu Han. With these [-] people on my side, I can only say that if we really fight, we can draw a tie. .

Li Jue once again took out the third and final piece of information, "It would be great if there were [-] people. Look, the army in Bingzhou has also moved. Most of them are cavalry, and the scale is the same as that in Jizhou."

Large-scale military operations, especially cavalry, are more noisy. If there are enemy spies within the territory, it is almost impossible not to be discovered. Therefore, the cavalry in Bingzhou was detected as soon as they left Tianjing Pass.

Guo Bang no longer felt relaxed just now, but had a solemn expression on his face, "This..."

When they first attacked Chang'an, Li Jue and his men still had [-] men in their hands. However, during those days of desperate attacks, they only managed to capture Chang'an at the cost of [-] casualties.

Now, although there are still [-] people, if they are to fight head-on with the King of Hejian's [-] troops without any modifications, the chances of winning are not high.

Guo Si: "Actually, we are a tired army. Why is the King of Hejian not a tired army? His [-] people have just withdrawn from the battlefield in Jizhou, and the other [-] people have also traveled a long way to Chang'an."

Li Ru: "I'm afraid that not only the troops from Jizhou and Bingzhou will move, but also the troops from the three counties of Sili will also move."

Others don't know, but as neighbors, they know that this man also has [-] troops stationed in Sili. If we really want to fight, it won't be a problem to mobilize [-].

Li Jue asked the two of them: "Are we going to transfer Fan Chou and Zhang Ji back? At present, Chang'an only has Jingzhao side, especially since there are only [-] people in Chang'an, and there are still [-] people from Fan Chou and Zhang Ji side."

Li Ru: "Fan Chou cannot move. If we are defeated, we can retreat to Xiliang from Fufeng on the right. Zhang Ji... cannot move either. The [-] people over there are responsible for the safety of our flanks. If we withdraw, Fengyi will have no one on the left. The King of Hejian sends a surprise force to make a wide circle around our flanks. It will be dangerous."

Guo Bang: "Besides, they have a mission when they go out. It seems that they can't stay in Chang'an anymore. We need to grab more things and go back, otherwise our subordinates will not be able to control them."

Li Ru and Li Jue nodded, especially Li Jue. Only in this position did he know how difficult it is to maintain an army of hundreds of thousands.

"Be prepared for the best and prepare for the worst. Whether you live or die depends on whether you can defeat him or not." (End of Chapter)
