The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Li Ru's guess was correct. Zhang Ji surrendered with [-] men under his command, and they were taken by Duan Jiong. They waited until the war was over and waited for Liu Han to take his leave. However, Duan Jiong has guaranteed that his life will not be in danger.

Zuo Fengyi could not continue to protect Chang'an's flank. Huang Zhong left [-] troops to continue guarding here, and the remaining [-] troops went straight to Right Fufeng.

To others, You Fufeng was an unfamiliar place, but to Huang Zhong, it was just home-cooked food. He had been the prefect of Fufeng for several years, so it was still somewhat valuable.

Not surprisingly, there was no resistance along the way from Gaoling to Chencang.

"General Duan, plan..."

Duan Juan nodded and looked at Zhang Ji: "Do you know what to do?"

Zhang Ji nodded: "General, don't worry."

  Changan.

At this moment, Li Ru was running around anxiously, "Zhiran, we can't just sit back and wait for death."

Li Jue and Guo Si also knew that King Hejian had changed his mind. He was not going to attack Chang'an by force, but wanted to trap them to death.

Li Jue: "Obviously, the King of Hejian knew that Chang'an City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he gave up the attack and wanted to trap us."

Li Ru: "Yes, not only that, there has been no news from Gaoling for several days."

Guo Bang: "Could it be that Huang Zhong's attack on the city was too violent and the people over there couldn't pass on the information?"

For Zhang Ji, the three people in Chang'an still trust him. The descendants of Xiliang who have a good reputation will not betray easily.

Li Ru said worriedly: "I'm afraid that they won't be able to hold on and threaten You Fufeng."

Guo Bang made a suggestion: "How about I bring [-] people to reinforce? It only takes one day from Chang'an to Gaoling."

"No!" Li Ru immediately rejected Guo Si's proposal: "The king of Hejian built a strong wall and cleared the country, trapping us and preventing the news from spreading back to Chang'an, just to trick us out. If you take people out now, we will be captured before we reach Gaoling. Encircled and annihilated halfway."

Li Jue nodded, "Well, Wenyou, tell me, what should we do?"

Li Ru kept thinking: "If I were the King of Hejian..."

What would you do if you were the King of the River?
  Besieging Chang'an is the first step. The purpose of besieging Chang'an is to give Huang Zhong more time to capture Gaoling and even Chencang!
  Li Ru exclaimed: "King Hejian's goal is not Chang'an, but Chencang! He wants to cut off our retreat!"

Guo Bang was the most clueless among the three, "What should we do? If we don't let him out, we will just watch Chen Cang be captured?"

Realizing Liu Han's purpose, Li Ru said cruelly: "If he doesn't give us a way to survive, then we will let the whole of Chang'an be buried with us!"

At that time, Li Ru did not dare to burn down Luoyang due to the power of the King of Hejian. Now that he has no way to survive, he did not care. If Liu Hanzhen wanted to force him to a dead end, then Li Ru would definitely drag hundreds of thousands of people from Chang'an to follow. Buried with him!
  Li Ru: "We haven't reached that stage yet. I suggest that someone go talk to the King of Hejian. If we are allowed to return to Liangzhou safely, then we will let out Chang'an and even Sanfu."

Li Jue also had this plan. When Liu Han led his army to attack the border, he wanted to run away, but there was a lot of opposition at the time. Now that Li Ru proposed it, Li Jue also followed suit and said: "Yes, as long as we return to Xiliang , We are high in the sky and far away from the emperor, and we have tens of thousands of people in our hands. How can Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Guo Guo do anything to us?!"      #
  Yanzhou, East County.

The Bingzhou army suddenly stagnated after capturing Jizhou, and the army suddenly mobilized on a large scale. At first, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were very nervous, thinking that King Hejian was planning to capture the north of the Yellow River.

But after waiting for ten days, there was no movement. The troops suddenly gathered in Jizhou were not going south, but westward.

Cao Cao: "Wen Ruo, what do you mean by King of Hejian?"

Sitting below Cao Cao, in addition to Hu Zhao, there are also new counselors-Yingchuan Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.

In November of the first year of Yonghan (189), Dong Zhuo became prime minister and held great power. Xun Yu asked to be appointed as a local official and was appointed magistrate of Kangfu County. He then abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. At that time, Han Rong of the same county as Xun Yu took more than a thousand of his clan members to seek refuge in the western mountains of Mi County. Xun Yu said to his father: "Yingchuan is the place where the four wars took place. If the world changes, it will be invaded frequently. It should be If you leave early, you won't be able to stay long." But the villagers are nostalgic for their homeland and are unwilling to leave. Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was in the same county as Xun Yu. He sent people to pick up Xun Yu, but the villagers were unwilling to follow him. Xun Yu had no choice but to move his clan to Jizhou for refuge alone.

After arriving in Jizhou, something strange happened. Jizhou had been acquired by Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao saw Xun Yu coming, he treated him as an honored guest. Xun Yu's younger brother Xun Chen and fellow commanders Xin Ping and Guo Tu were all under Yuan Shao's command.

After a period of contact, Xun Yu felt that Yuan Shao was not a person capable of achieving great things, so he abandoned Yuan Shao.

Xun Yu, the king of Hejian, would not consider it. Although he met the standards of all Ming lords, Liu Han's attitude towards the nobles was difficult for Xun Yu or the entire Xun family to accept.

In Xun Yu's view, the nobles were the backbone and pillars of the Han Dynasty. The King of Hejian's continuous massacre and suppression of the nobles was tantamount to setting himself on fire.

Yuan Shao was not good, and Yuan Shu, who was worse than Yuan Shao, was even less good. Not only was he injured in the battle at Nanyang, but just because of the ridiculous things he did in Yuzhou, Yingchuan, and Runan, Xun Yu didn't want to follow him.

Therefore, there is only one Cao Cao left who still thinks of the Han Dynasty in his heart and has great talents and strategies.

Of course Cao Cao had heard of Xun Yu's name. He was one of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family and was known as the "talent of the king's assistant." In the second year of Chuping (191), Xun Yu left Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu coming to surrender, he was overjoyed and said, "This is my ovary!" So he appointed Xun Yu as Sima at the age of twenty-nine.

Xun Yu didn't expect that as soon as he left, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought at the boundary bridge. After that, they both lost, and the King of Hejian took advantage of the opportunity and captured Jizhou.

Xun Yu: "My lord, over in Chang'an, we also received intelligence from half a month ago, saying that Li Jue and Guo Si captured Chang'an, Lu Bu escaped from Wuguan, Wang Yun committed suicide, and the army of the King of Hejian marched westward. I must have gone to Chang'an to pick peaches."

Hu Zhao: "Wen Ruo's analysis is reasonable. Liu Han has a huge appetite. One Jizhou is not enough. He wants to swallow Sili in one mouthful. He is not afraid of dying."

Although Cao Cao and Liu Han were enemies and rivals, Liu Han helped him and let him off again and again. Although Hu Zhao was his adviser, Cao Cao did not allow him to insult Liu Han: "Kong Ming, you have said it. "

Hu Zhao heard the displeasure in Cao Cao's words without saying anything. As a nobleman, of course he hated Liu Han's suppression of the noblemen. How could he give him a good look?

Xun Yu: "My lord, the strange thing about this is that since the King of Hejian led his army to march westward, the intelligence from Chang'an has been cut off."

Obviously, Liu Han was deliberately blocking the news.

Cao Cao: "Chang'an is too far away from us. At the moment, I want to take advantage of the absence of the King of Hejian to work with Brother Benchu ​​to defeat the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and capture Yanzhou."

Xun Yu: "Well, Dongjun is too small after all." (End of Chapter)
