The next few days were very peaceful on the surface, and even Wang Yun personally communicated with Cao Cao for a long time.However, what they communicated was neither salty nor dull, and basically there were no substantive problems.

Instead, Wang Yun inquired about Lu Bu's information from some people, and those people revealed intentionally or unintentionally that it was Cao Cao who deliberately kept Lu Bu in Yuzhou.

Now Wang Yun was obviously a little anxious, so he found the emperor again, hoping that the emperor could annex the Xiliang army quickly, otherwise it would be too dangerous for so many troops to be in the hands of Cao Cao.

The emperor made sense when he heard it, so he directly ordered Ma Teng and the boy from the Han family to come over, and asked them to write a letter to the Xiliang army, and let the Xiliang army accept Xu Rong's reorganization.

In fact, Xu Rong had been wooing people from the Xiliang Army two days ago, and he even got Dong Zhuo's men, Li Jue and Guo Si, to his side.

Ma Teng also didn't know Han Sui and Xu Rong, so he might not get any good looks if he went there rashly.But after all, Li Jue and Guo Si were former Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and at any rate, the group of people also had some friendship.

So Xu Rong's side immediately grew a lot. There are almost 4 people under Li Jue and Guo Si. Once so many people come, no matter whether it is Xu Rong, Wang Yun or the emperor, they are at ease for a while. few.

Hmm... They were relieved. Ma Chao and Han Sui panicked, because they didn't expect the emperor to reorganize his own army, and to do so so quickly.

Xu Rong came over for a walk, and [-]% of his army went to other people's hands, and the news he found from Cao Cao's side was that their army would soon be reorganized by the emperor. As for them... I'm afraid In the end, I was given a free job and dismissed.

Who can do this?If the princes have no soldiers, are they still called princes?Ma Chao directly brought a group of men to look for Han Sui, and then said directly to Han Sui: "Although we lost to Cao Cao earlier, we will not be reduced to what we are now?"

"If you hadn't insisted on going to negotiate peace with Cao Cao, how could we not even control the soldiers now?!" Ma Chao said very angrily, as if he was about to hack Han Sui to death.

Yan Xing, who was beside Han Sui, snorted, "It seems that Your Excellency's father is more pleasing to the emperor than us? The head of your Ma family seems determined. Don't forget that you have received a message from your father today."

It's no secret, Han Sui's son also wrote a letter back.Now Han Sui is also very depressed. Is it possible that the army he has accumulated for most of his life has finally been given to the emperor as a wedding dress?

Seeing what Yan Xing said, Ma Chao pointed his gun at the other party: "Do you think this was a few years ago, now I can kill you anytime!"

"Hahaha, kill me? You can come and try anytime, don't be almost killed by me like last time, this time no one will care about your elders!" Yan Xing sneered back directly.

Before the two sides got to the point, they were almost about to fight.And Han Sui really had a headache, so he patted the table hard. "Don't talk nonsense, what if you are killed! Why don't you think about how to keep our team!"

Ma Chao sneered: "Wouldn't it be better if it was reversed again? Many of our troops are in Chang'an City. Wouldn't it be nice to just grab the emperor and use it for me?!"

Chapter 420 Six: The First Dutiful Son of the Three Kingdoms

Surrender and retaliate, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do.But can the Xiliang army be ordinary people? That kind of place has been interbreeding with the Hu people, Di people, and Qiang people for a long time, and their habits have long been very different from those of the Central Plains people.

Speaking of Lu Bu, the same is true. They are full of betrayal and framing, and many of them can't even trust their relatives.Therefore, it is not impossible to rebel after surrendering.

Han Sui shook his head, and then said to Ma Chao: "Nephew, your feelings are understandable, but how can we compete with the emperor now? You must know that we were just taken away by more than 4 people yesterday. I'm afraid it will be a few days later." The rest of our soldiers can't be saved either."

At this time, Han Sui's title was also changed. After all, Han Sui and Ma Teng were friends originally, but the conflicts became more and more serious. But now that Ma Teng wants to cooperate with him, he naturally needs to be closer in words.

Although Ma Chao was a little upset, but after all the other party had said some good things, it was not good for him to get angry with Han Sui.So Ma Chao said: "Although Li Jue and Guo Si have tens of thousands of people under their command, and they have taken refuge in the emperor."

"But don't forget, a large part of their soldiers are allocated to them by us, and the middle and low-level generals are all our people. Naturally, there are some generals my father has led in the past. Plus the Xiliang army outside the city."

"Once there is chaos, it is easy to capture Chang'an!"

What Ma Chao said was right. After all, even if Ma Teng sent out some troops, he must have mixed in a lot of his own people in order to control them.Therefore, if these people can be encouraged to participate in the rebellion, it does not seem impossible to bring down Chang'an.

Han Sui nodded, but still sighed: "But nephew, you have to know that now we are in the hands of the emperor, but there are still hostages. If there is a fight, my brother and son will be in danger of their lives." ?”

Seeing Han Sui's hesitant character, Ma Chao felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew in his heart that Han Sui was usually the cautious type, so he gritted his teeth and said to Han Sui:

"Both my father and your son are hostages with the Son of Heaven. If we rebel against the Son of Heaven again, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to them in the first place."

"But if we don't rebel, the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops in our hands will all become the emperor's. Once we lose the army, won't our whole family die in the end?"

"I believe that even if my father is here, he will still make the same choice as me. Now that we are against the emperor, the worst result is nothing more than the death of one or two relatives."

"If we keep dragging on, when the Son of Heaven takes over our Xiliang army, we won't be so dead. Does uncle think that kid will let us go?"

When Ma Chao said this, he took a deep breath: "Uncle, if they really die unfortunately, that will be fate. At that time, my father will die, and your son will die..."

"If uncle doesn't dislike it, you can treat me as your own son, and I will treat you as your own father!"

Once Han Sui heard what Ma Chao had said, he stopped hesitating. "Okay, since my nephew has said so, let's arrange our men immediately and strive to succeed in one fell swoop!"

"As long as the Son of Heaven is captured, then everything will be easy. If the Son of Heaven cannot be caught, then everything we say is useless!"

Ma Chao directly took a dagger and cut his finger, and then made a blood alliance with Han Sui.The two parties agreed to advance and retreat together regardless of the cost, and never betray each other or they will be punished by heaven.

After Ma Chao left, Han Sui looked at Yan Xing and sneered.Yan Xing was also a little disdainful: "The horse is really ruthless, even his own father can be betrayed, what else can't be betrayed by this kind of person?"

"The Ma family has been like this for hundreds of years in Xiliang. The whole family is unkind and unrighteous. Although we are now in a cooperative relationship, don't trust them."

Yan Xing laughed: "It's natural, I never put that horse in my eyes, but why should I be afraid of a short-sighted person?"

But Yan Xing also asked Han Sui: "But my lord, your son...",

Han Sui sighed: "In this situation, what can we do? The emperor's tiger amulet has arrived, do you think we should accept it or not?"

Yan Xing stopped talking, after all, Han Sui just said that Ma Chao was ruthless, and now he started to slap himself in the face.But now in this situation, to put it bluntly, what can they do, in the end it just turned into a sigh.

To be honest, Cao Cao naturally knew something about their transfer, and this was exactly the layout of Cao Cao.It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that the other party was naturally not an ordinary person, and this commotion was more violent than Cao Cao imagined.

After the emperor took back more than 4 soldiers, he gradually gained confidence in his heart.After all, it's good to have hostages. The other party just obediently let the soldiers be reorganized.

So after successfully receiving these tens of thousands of people, the emperor immediately ordered Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to start the next part of the reorganization.The main thing is to break up the soldiers on his side and join the Xiliang Army to replace the management position of the other side's grassroots.

Of course, doing so would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Xiliang army, especially because Han Sui and Ma Teng's subordinates, so after Ma Chao and Yan Xing contacted each other, basically everyone agreed to rebel again.

And Ma Chao and Han Sui are also ready, they are waiting for Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to come next time, as long as Xu Rong intends to annex their army again, they will be killed directly.

Perhaps it was because it went so smoothly, and because the Son of Heaven had a hostage on his side, Xu Rong really didn't expect that the Xiliang army could rebel again.Just three days after Ma Chao and Han Sui made up their plan, Xu Rong led about 1000 people to come again to discuss with Ma Chao about accepting them.

Ma Chao laughed, and ordered Han Sui to be invited to prepare a banquet.After the two sides ate and drank for a while, Ma Chao said to Xu Rong: "The general was originally Dong Zhuo's subordinate, why do you want to work for the emperor now?"

Xu Rong didn't care about this sentence, he smiled at Ma Chao: "Grand Master Dong just ignored Chao Gang to seek his own death, why don't you let me wait to be buried with him? I also persuaded him many times back then, but in the end it didn't work." For any use, the final result is nothing but his willful will."

Ma Chao chuckled, and then said to Xu Rong again: "Then the general is satisfied with what the Son of Heaven has done?"

"It's not bad, at least I'm reused here." Xu Rong nodded.

Ma Chao sighed: "It's a pity that we have not been reused here, and the emperor is too guarded against us. We only have these soldiers under our command, and the emperor wants to take them away."

As soon as such obvious words were said, Xu Rong looked directly at Ma Chao and became alert.Only that Hu Zhen didn't know that she was still drinking in a big bowl.Xu Rong looked around calmly, and found that the generals of the Xiliang Army were all wearing armor.

"Ma Mengqi, today's emperor is not a child, and he is prepared for many things." After Xu Rong said this, he pulled Hu Zhen up and drew his weapon directly.

Ma Chao laughed: "General Xu, do you think you can leave my camp with only 1000 of you? Do it!!!"

Chapter 420 Seven: The Last Loyal Servant

Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, who had already reacted, went out directly. After all, there were former soldiers they brought outside.But Ma Chao has already made preparations, and Ma Chao is indeed very young, and his skills and strength are much stronger than Xu Rong's.

If it was Xu Rong 20 years ago, he could really rush out, but now Xu Rong... is over 50 years old.In this era, military generals in their 50s are powerful even when they were young, but now their strength and physical strength have declined a lot. After all, not everyone is Huang Zhong.

After catching up and fighting for less than twenty rounds, Ma Chao directly stabbed Xu Rong in the heart.Xu Rong screamed and died.The remaining Hu Zhen naturally couldn't afford much trouble, and within half an hour they brought a thousand men and they were all killed.

How could Ma Chao stay alive at such a time, and soon ordered his subordinates to slaughter all the Han troops.Then Ma Chao directly led people to speak, and began to tell the emperor's injustice to him.

Since it's unfair, you have to go get it back yourself!Ma Chao shouted to the Xiliang army, the Xiliang army doesn't care who they listen to, they will go wherever there is any benefit similar to Ma Chao.So a group of people went directly to Chang'an City with Ma Chao, and in Chang'an City, Ma Chao had already arranged for Nei Ying to open the door.

After Ma Chao left, Han Sui sneered and said to Yan Xing: "Let's go directly to the east of Chang'an and wait. Once the horse succeeds, the other party will definitely find a way to escape from the east."

Yan Xing nodded, and then smiled: "I think that the big man emperor should not be easily caught by the horse."

Han Sui said to Yan Xing: "Hmph, don't think about how we got the news, then Cao Mengde is not a fool, in my opinion they just want to use us."

"Now that the Son of Heaven has an army under his command, Cao Mengde has only 5 people from the Central Plains, and there is no way to control the Son of Heaven. He revealed to us that this matter is actually just to use us to kill the Son of Heaven's army, and we have achieved it now."

"But since we've done it, we'll naturally get some interest. It's still unknown whose hands the emperor will end up in! Tell your subordinates, everyone is ready to fight to the death today. If we fail this time, all we have to do is go back to West Liang has no other place to go." Han Sui said calmly to Yan Xing.

Yan Xing nodded and clasped his fists: "No!" Then he led fifty thousand elites to the east of Chang'an immediately.

Did the emperor react at this time?have!Naturally, at the head of Chang'an City, the sound of fighting in Ma Chao's camp was heard, and someone immediately reported to the emperor.

The emperor was quite frightened when he heard the news, because his first reaction was that the Xiliang army had rebelled.This kind of thing has been experienced too much in recent years, so the emperor immediately ordered someone to find Wang Yun.

Wang Yun was preparing to rest at this time, and he was the first to get news of what happened outside Chang'an City.However, when Wang Yun asked, both Xu Rong and Hu Zhen had gone to the Xiliang Army, so he knew it was not good.

"Immediately send someone to notify the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si, and let them quickly control the city gate!" After Wang Yun said this, he went directly to the Chang'an Palace, and then let the current emperor's last pro-army, about two thousand Yulin cavalry rally together.

Then Wang Yun found the Son of Heaven, and when the Son of Heaven saw Wang Yun approaching, he immediately took Wang Yun's hand and asked, "I'm afraid those Xiliang troops will repeat themselves again, so what can we do now?"

Wang Yun sighed. In this situation, I'm afraid he can only rely on Cao Cao.But now the outside of the city seemed to be in chaos. Wang Yun knew that many of the Xiliang troops recruited earlier were not on the same side as them.

"Cao Cao..." Wang Yun sighed.At this time, Wang Yun's head suddenly became clearer. He vaguely felt that the rebellion of the Xiliang Army this time might have something to do with Cao Cao.

Because the Xiliang army had surrendered to Cao Cao earlier, and Cao Cao didn't respond at all when something happened to the Xiliang army. How could it be possible!Just as Wang Yun wanted to say something to the emperor, suddenly a eunuch ran in with a panicked expression.

"The emperor is not well, and the subordinates of the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si have also turned against each other. The west and south gates of Chang'an City have been opened, and tens of thousands of Xiliang troops have already entered Chang'an City!"

After saying this, the emperor was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.Wang Yun gritted his teeth and said to the emperor, "If my guess is correct, Cao Cao has brought people to meet him. The Yulin army immediately protects the emperor and retreats to the east gate. I will personally back up the emperor!"

Emperor Liu Xie took Wang Yun's hand and said to him: "Aiqing, let's go together, what will I do without you?"

Wang Yun smiled bitterly, and then bowed to the emperor: "Emperor, I have tried my best... Dong Zhuo was like a tiger before, and Cao Cao was like a wolf later. If I don't die, he will be uneasy..."

"The building will fall, and there will be loyal men. I, Wang Yun, know the fate, so I will let the minister shed the last drop of blood for the emperor. Habayashi, take the emperor away immediately!"

The emperor's tears came out directly. Although he was treated as a puppet since he was a child, Liu Xie can clearly see who is good to him and who is not good to him.In particular, why Wang Yun stayed with the emperor is also clear in his heart, because if Wang Yun didn't stay with Cao Cao, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Could it be that Cao Cao would let Wang Yun fight for power with him?Even if Wang Yun saw Cao Cao alive, he might die inexplicably within a few days.It would be better to die here, at least to fulfill his own loyalty.

What Liu Xie was crying about was that he would become a puppet again in the future. Although it was almost a stamp on Wang Yun's side, Wang Yun did respect him anyway.And who knows what will happen after arriving at Cao Cao's side, it is always sad that one's own destiny is in the hands of others.

Sure enough, after Liu Xie was taken out of the palace by the Yulin Army, Li Dian and Yu Jin under Cao Cao were already waiting at the gate of the city. "Son of Heaven, Inspector Cao ordered us to respond again."

Liu Xie laughed, and then showed a calm expression. "In that case, let's go..."

Ma Chao's side went very smoothly, and Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't control their subordinates at all.However, these two men themselves had some skills, and when they realized that the situation was out of control, they led their soldiers to the north and ran away from the north gate of Chang'an City.

After Ma Chao accepted Li Jue and the others and fled, the remaining Xiliang army then rushed all the way to the palace.The outer city was breached almost effortlessly, while the inner city was only defended by a few hundred men.

On the wall of the inner city, Wang Yun watched as tens of thousands of Xiliang troops rushed over and surrounded the place one after another.Ma Chao took a look at Wang Yun and said to him, "My husband, you don't want to see us so much, how can you think about today?!"

Wang Yun laughed, and then said to Ma Chao, "Today? Today is just one death. You traitors deserve death!"

"I really didn't expect that you didn't even care about family affection. You really have almost no bottom line of human affection with barbarians. In this case, I will satisfy you, maybe you will thank me."

After Wang Yun finished speaking, he ordered someone to drop two chubby things under the city wall.Ma Chao took a closer look and saw that it was his father's head. It turned out that after Wang Yun learned that the Xiliang Army had rebelled again, he directly sent someone to kill the two hostages.

"I'm going to tear your corpse into thousands of pieces!" Ma Chao was so angry that he made people start to hit the city gate.

And Wang Yun laughed, went down the city wall and came to the palace.He glanced at the dilapidated palaces here, and then threw a few lamps for lighting on the ground.

Chapter 420: Escape from Chang'an

Wang Yun was dead here in Chang'an, and when Ma Chao found out that the palace was full of flames, he knew that the emperor must have left long ago.So Ma Chao led his men to chase to the east. After all, Cao Cao's army was in the east, so the emperor must have gone there.

After Yujin and the others received the emperor, more than 2000 people in their party quickly left the palace and came near the east gate.Here Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao, and then said with a frown, "Have you not imagined the scale of the Xiliang army's rebellion?"

Cao Cao said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, don't worry, it's already been arranged. This time we brought all our wealth, and we have a great advantage in fighting the Xiliang Army."

Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "Zhongde had a plan long ago, so Wen Ruo need not worry. I can assure Wen Ruo that he will not treat the Emperor Yue Yue badly."

Xun Yu sighed, but didn't say anything in the end.But Cao Cao said again: "If Wen Ruo can leave with the emperor, we are not really trying to force the emperor, and I am not the generation of Dong Zhuo."

"Wen Ruo works hard, see if we can ease our relationship with the emperor." Cao Cao said to Xun Yu again, and Xun Yu nodded.At this time, Yu Jin and others came out with the emperor, and the palace behind Chang'an was already on fire.

Cao Cao bowed to the emperor: "Time is running out, the Xiliang army rebelled again, please leave immediately."

Liu Xie glanced at Cao Cao, but didn't show much expression. "where are we going?"

Cao Cao said respectfully: "How about going to govern Chen Liu first?" The place of Chen Liu was exactly where Liu Xie was sealed.Liu Bian is the king of Hongnong, and Liu Xie is the king of Chenliu.Therefore, it is not a problem for Cao Cao to ask the emperor to go to Chenliu.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Ai Qing." He was neither sad nor happy, and got into the car directly after saying this.The carriage was very spacious, and after the emperor and some attendants got on the carriage, Xun Yu also came to see the emperor.

Then Xun Yu naturally came to the car, mainly to ease the relationship between the emperor and Cao Cao.Now everyone can see that the emperor seems to have guessed that the Xiliang army's rebellion must have something to do with Cao Cao's side.

After the emperor got on the chariot, Cao Cao immediately asked Li Dian and Yu Jin to take three thousand troops to escort them to Hangu Pass and leave Yongzhou, and led the main force to block Ma Chao and Han Sui.

At this time, many ministers in Chang'an City also ran out. Cao Cao hesitated a little and let them continue to follow the emperor. After all, there was no minister by the emperor's side in Chenliu.

About half an hour later, Ma Chao's pursuers finally arrived at the east gate.At this time, Cao Cao ordered people to block the door, and less than 200 officials escaped from Chang'an.

Cao Cao relied on the east gate to defend, and Ma Chao couldn't get out even with cavalry.After all, the road here at the city gate is very narrow, and if Ma Chao rushed forward, he didn't know how many people would die.

So Cao Cao is very relieved about this place, and only needs more than 500 people to block Ma Chao at the gate of the city.But Han Sui's army naturally rushed to the east gate, and Yan Xing immediately led the cavalry to charge Cao Cao's army.

However, Cao Cao's side had already been prepared, and Yan Xing's side was surrounded by a pile of barbed wire as soon as he rushed to the halfway position.Yan Xing gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to rush over directly. Anyway, he estimated that this thing can only be a short distance and cannot be too wide.

Yan Xing's guess was correct, but even so they lost more than 500 war horses.And when they rushed to the front of Cao Cao, what greeted them was a round of hard crossbow fire.
