Guo Si smiled bitterly and said: "Aristocratic families cannot be destroyed. If you kill one group, a new group will appear. If the aristocratic family is destroyed, not only the Han people will be destroyed, but we ourselves will also perish."

After Li Jue vented his anger, he seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground, laughing at himself: "Yeah! Who are we idiots? This world belongs to aristocratic families after all. No matter how much we kill, it can't change it.

"

Guo Bang smiled desolately: "Zhiran, we have tried, enjoyed, and struggled, and now it is time to let go. What the Prime Minister and the military advisor failed to do back then, what can you and I do? Maybe the military advisor back then

We are still unwilling in our hearts, but you and I are helpless. We are neither capable nor qualified to bear all this. The military advisor has found someone who will bear all this, and you and I don’t need to think about this anymore."

"Yuan Gongli, the former legitimate son of the Yuan family. Can he really stand on our side and fulfill the military advisor's last wish?"

"He is the choice of the military advisor, and he will not be wrong." Guo Bang seemed to comfort Li Jue, and also seemed to comfort himself.

"Haha, what's the point of talking about these things that have something and don't have it? It's good that we sinners can survive, so what right do we have to think about those things that have something and don't have it."

"How many people are there in Chang'an City now?" Guo Bang asked.

Li Jue said casually: "There are not many left. I have ordered Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji to push most of the people to the direction of Ziwu Valley and hand them over to Duke Yuan's army. Now besides our army in Chang'an, there are only those from aristocratic families."

Private soldiers. Where are you?"

"Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, and the civil and military officials and the palace are also guarding it tightly. They are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving. Now we are waiting for those people to take action." Guo Si said.

"Where is the little emperor?" Li Jue asked.

"Three hundred elite men are guarding it, but it's probably of no use," Guo Bang said.

"Forget it, let him run if he wants to! I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky for a young boy to be in this pitiful position. Let's see how well he can fight Cao Liu." Li Jue mocked.

"Cao Liu will arrive in two days at most, and we should withdraw." Guo Bang looked in the direction of Tongguan and said in a complicated tone.

"Let's go! We've already had enough of staying in Chang'an. If they want it, let's give it to them. But we have to prepare the big gift before we leave."

That night, a fire broke out in Chang'an City, and three grain storage places in the city were burned down. Only the granary of the Xiliang Army survived. At the same time, a fire also broke out in the palace, and a treasonous person appeared among them.

, the little emperor is missing.

"Haha! What a great skill!" Li Jue said with an ugly expression.

Although he had already planned to "release" the little emperor, the disappearance of the little emperor still made Li Jue feel cold. You know, the entire Chang'an City is now under martial law, the people have been expelled from the city, and the remaining people have been severely punished.

Guards were added. But even so, the other party still succeeded, and there was no difference at all.

Needless to say, there were many traitors from aristocratic families in his Xiliang soldiers. All three hundred elite soldiers were wiped out, and their bodies were left in the fire, which is really frightening.

"After so many years of drinking and debauchery, many soldiers in our army are no longer the brothers who were killed from Xiliang back then!" Guo Bang felt a little bitter in his heart. Those brothers who could hand over their backs without any doubt are now in the army.

In so many years of comfortable life, how many of them have betrayed Xiliang, and how many of them have forgotten the love they had in the military back then. Guo Bang has no confidence in his heart. Today's Xiliang soldiers are no longer the Xiliang soldiers who were so powerful in the past.

.

"The little emperor escaped. In our calculation, how many officials escaped?" Li Jue asked.

"Except for a few scheming ones, no one else ran away. These people are just disposable pawns of the aristocratic family. They don't have the time to spend such a high price to get these people out." Guo Si said.

The foundation of the aristocratic families is not the officials they show on the surface. When the princes attacked Dong, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he wiped out the entire Yuan family in Luoyang. What was the result? The foundation of the Yuan family has not diminished at all, except for causing Yuan Shao's anger.

Nothing can be gained except anger. Aristocratic families never care about sacrifice and abandonment. Dong Zhuo's attempt to warn the aristocratic families by killing chickens to scare monkeys is completely overthinking.

"Cao Liu's army will arrive tomorrow, and we should withdraw." Li Jue said.

"Well, tomorrow I will stay behind the throne and guard the officials until the last moment."

...

At noon on the second day, the clouds were closed. In this cold autumn and winter season, it seemed so cold without the appearance of the sun. To the east of Chang'an, two cavalry teams marched, with thousands of horses galloping.

"General, we can easily get rid of them, why do we have to do this?"

As a divine general, Xia Houyuan led the cavalry to march at a terrifying speed. Basically, except for the white horse Yi Cong led by Gongsun Zan, other cavalry could not match him. However, at this time, he led the army to march slowly, and Guan Yu's army on the other side

They advanced hand in hand, so the lieutenant general was puzzled.

Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei were allies on the surface, their relationship was that of enemies rather than friends. There were many frictions at the border, and the soldiers under their command were extremely hostile to each other.

Xia Houyuan calmly looked at the arrogant Guan Yu in the distance, and said calmly: "This time our two alliances will try to avoid as much friction as possible. Guan Yunchang is an extremely arrogant person. There is no need for us to make each other feel grudge over such a trivial matter.

.”

However, Xiahou Yuan did not know that his intentional actions were self-defeating, making Guan Yu even more angry. Guan Yu looked at Xiahou Dun's army marching alongside him, and his heart was filled with rage!

Is Guan Yu such a narrow-minded person in your heart, Xia Houyuan?

Guan Yu knew Xia Houyuan's ability very well, or Xia Houyuan's ability was no longer a secret in the eyes of the world. Cao Cao relied on one secret in using his troops, which was to be fast! Seize the opportunity and fight against interference, and Xia Houyuan was Cao Cao's biggest support for his rapid march.

As long as Xia Houyuan is there, the marching speed of the army will immediately increase by two levels. If you are pressed, the infantry can outrun the cavalry.

Guan Yu knew that he was far behind Xia Houyuan in terms of marching speed, but he didn't care. His ability was definitely among the best in the world, whether it was martial arts or legionary talent. Although Xiahouyuan's legionary talent was very strong, he was not bad at all.

.But Xia Houyuan's deliberate concession made Guan Yu, who had a strong self-esteem, extremely angry.

The two men led cavalry, and they quickly arrived at Chang'an City.

"what happened?"

Looking at the empty walls and slightly open gates of Chang'an City, the two of them were confused.

Where are the Chang'an garrison? Did they run away?

"General Guan!" Xia Houyuan did not dare to act rashly when the situation was unclear, so he rode his horse to Guan Yu's army to discuss with him.

"There seems to be no movement in Chang'an City. There may be an ambush. Why don't you and I send spies in first to investigate, and then go in after the army of the lord and Duke Xuande arrives?" Xia Houyuan said cautiously.

"No need to go to such trouble!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, and instantly mobilized his inner energy, communicated with the army behind him, and blessed the army's cloud energy on his Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

"Cut!" Guan Yu took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, slowly grasped the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, pulled it back, and then slashed forward with all his strength.

Under Xia Houyuan's shock, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand slashed out a huge blade, flew unstoppably towards the city gate, directly chopped it into pieces, and left a huge crack on the city wall.

After smashing the city gate, Guan Yu's sword continued to sweep forward unabated, clearing a large area of ​​land and houses in the city.

"Let's go to town!"
