After Yang Biao spoke, all the civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace looked at Zhao Yun. Now he was the only one they could rely on! Even Emperor Xian looked at Zhao Yun, wanting him to agree to Yang Biao's request!
Zhao Yun glanced around and thought for a while and said: "Since it is an order from the imperial court, the general must obey it!"
Emperor Xian said with a face of surprise in his childish voice: "I have appointed Aiqing as Pinglu Zhonglang General. Aiqing left and raised troops to Xinfeng to quell the Xiliang rebellion!"
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders!"
After saying this, Zhao Yun left Weiyang Palace!
The arrival of Liu Bei's vanguard finally made Yang Biao and others feel relieved. Even though Li Ru, Niu Fu and their 100,000 troops were about to attack Chang'an City, they felt that they were safe.
At this time, Zhao Qi said: "The more times like this, the more important it is to prevent the Xiliang army from jumping over the wall. Each family has to use private soldiers to guard the major gates of Chang'an City. The Northern Army must also monitor it to prevent Dong Zhuo's sympathizers from opening the door privately.
At the city gate, as long as Liu Bei comes to Chang'an City, there will be more than 50,000 troops in Chang'an City, which is enough to defend against Niu Fu's attack, and then the imperial court will be stable!"
Yang Biao and others all nodded and said: "What you said makes sense!"
Then, each of them followed Zhao Qi's order and led his own private soldiers to guard the city gate, while the Northern Army was driven to the city wall by them!
On the other side, Zhao Yun led his 3,000 cavalry to march towards Xinfeng County after recuperating for half a day!
At this time, Xuan's subordinates were defeated one after another and no longer had much morale!
"General, if the imperial court does not come with reinforcements, it is trying to force us to death. Why should we fight for Yang Biao and the others!" Duan Xuan's men were obviously dissatisfied with the current situation. They could not win, and the imperial court did not have reinforcements to support them, and
Niu Fu and the others were really fighting for their lives. The fighting was very fierce and the casualties were extremely heavy!
"Yes, General! We and Niu Fu are Zepao. If we want to help, we should help Niu Fu and the others. Dong Guoxiang's death was too tragic. Yang Biao and the others are not trustworthy at all!" It can be said that Yang Biao and the others' assassination of Dong Zhuo caused a stir.
This caused dissatisfaction among the entire Central Army.
You must know that the Han warriors have been suppressed by the noble clans over the years, and their status is not high. It was not until the Yellow Turban Uprising that they improved slightly, but their military exploits were still often occupied by eunuchs and noble clans, just like Dong Zhuo wanted to
They were given the same amount of money to get promoted, and Emperor Ling replaced them with corrupt officials. Liu Bei was driven away by Emperor Ling because he did not give Emperor Ling enough money to buy an official position.
It can be seen from these events that the imperial court at that time, from the Ling Emperor to the eunuchs and the noble clans, did not think highly of warriors. When they were needed, they would recruit them, and when they were not needed, they would throw them aside. They would even
He doesn't care about the thoughts of such a warrior to take credit for their achievements.
Only during the period when Dong Zhuo was in power, their status was significantly improved. Dong Zhuo could not win over the nobles, so he could only win over the army lieutenants. The effect was significant. Compared with the nobles who looked down upon Dong Zhuo, the number of people in the army was
The soldiers still supported Dong Zhuo very much, even the northern and southern armies.
Especially before Dong Zhuo died, he had planned to give everyone a piece of land of hundreds of acres near Luoyang City, which made the army officers even more excited. It can be said that the lower-level soldiers were more grateful to Dong Zhuo!
Most of Duan Xuan's subordinates were from Xiliang. They naturally sympathized with Dong Zhuo. The soldiers were extremely angry about Dong Zhuo's assassination. This is why he had 30,000 troops in his hands. Even though the pass was for defense, he faced
Niu Fu's attack was still overwhelming, even if they wanted to defend, they couldn't defend it, because these soldiers fought passively, they didn't want to sacrifice their lives for Yang Biao!
Duan Xan said angrily: "Stop arguing, I know you want to take refuge in Niu Fu, but my Duan family has been favored by the country, how can I live up to your majesty's trust? I also know that Dong Guoxiang died unjustly, but this is not because Niu Fu and the others attacked Chang'an.
The reason is that if we really let them break through Chang'an, the whole Han Dynasty will be finished. Don't you want to see the Han Dynasty destroyed in our hands? If you don't want to, just block Niu Fu's attack with all your heart!"
Duan Xuan became so angry that all the generals under his command did not dare to speak anymore. The Duan family was also the queen of generals. Duan Xi became a Taiwei more than ten years ago, which made the Duan family prominent in Xiliang for a while, but it was a pity that Duan Xi later
He died in the political struggle, and the Duan family declined, but Duan Yan's subordinates were all disciples and former officials of the Duan family, so he could be defeated without defeat! Now Duan Yan has broken the unspoken rules between them
, it is not easy for these generals and colonels to continue to let things go.
"General, our reinforcements are here!" Duan Yan's soldiers rushed into the government office and said excitedly!
Duan Xuan was also overjoyed and immediately ran to the city wall to watch!
Sure enough, they found a group of cavalry attacking Niu Fu's army. Niu Fu and the others did not expect that Chang'an City would send reinforcements. They were completely unprepared. Several large armies were killed and returned defeated!
Duan Xuan was surprised and said: "This is our cavalry from Xiliang, why would they appear here like this?"
Duan Xuan's general also shook his head and said: "My subordinates have never seen this cavalry before!"
Duan Yan saw Zhao Yun leading the soldiers to charge into the formation, and he himself was even more brave. Any enemy in front of him could not withstand Zhao Yun's shot! "Do you know whose general this is? He is so brave.
This is no longer inferior to the original Ju Yi!"
"White horse and white robe, I don't know you! Gongsun Zan only likes to play with this kind of equipment. We Xiliang people don't use such equipment." Duan Xuan's generals shook their heads one by one.
The Xiliang army was thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of Zhao Yun, and they had to withdraw their troops with money!
Niu Fu said angrily: "This is a cavalry that came out of nowhere and ruined our big event! If it hadn't been for the appearance of this cavalry, Xinfeng would have been conquered by us today!"
Hu Zhendao: "The fighting method of this army is the fighting method of our Xiliang cavalry, but the imperial court does not have Xiliang soldiers and horses. If Han Sui, Ma Teng and others are even less likely to attack us, where did this kind of cavalry come from?"
Coming out?" Having stayed in Xiliang for more than ten years, it can be said that no one is more familiar with Xiliang than them, but they don't actually know the cavalry commander opposite, which makes them feel very strange.
Li Jue and others also thought for a long time, but basically all the Xiliang cavalry was in their hands, not Han Sui, Ma Teng and the others. Where did this cavalry come from?
Jia Xu thought for a long time, and then he was shocked and said: "No, this is Liu Bei coming to support the court. Don't forget that Liu Bei served as the prefect of Hanyang County in Xiliang for a year. When the Prime Minister asked Liu Bei to go to Jingzhou to be the general of Zhennan,
, Liu Bei took away 5,000 Xiliang cavalry, which should be the cavalry attacking us!"
Niu Fu also said in panic: "Liu Bei is here, what should we do?"
Niu Fu is not afraid that Liu Bei can fight. After all, the 60,000 troops in their hands have experienced hundreds of battles. He is worried that Liu Bei will enter Chang'an City, so that Chang'an City will have 40,000 to 50,000 troops. The 60,000 troops in their hands are basically useless.
It is possible that Chang'an City has been conquered, even with the help of Li Ru and others. It can be said that as long as Liu Bei defends Chang'an City for a month, the imperial army from all sides will annihilate them all on the land of Guanzhong, and they will all be dead by then.
!This is what Ushifu is afraid of.
Niu Fu's words silenced many Xiliang army generals. They could naturally think of things that Niu Fu could think of. The imperial court was more powerful than their strength. They just had a time lag. It would be difficult for the armies outside the imperial court to mobilize to encircle and suppress them.
, but if Liu Bei comes, they will really be trapped and die in the pass. For a while, Li Jue and the others are thinking of changing anything to break this situation!
But after a long time, he still couldn't think of a way. Li Jue simply said viciously: "Who is Liu Bei? If he dares to come, I will chop him up. Let's not attack Chang'an City first, find Liu Bei's army first and annihilate them all!"
Then let’s see who Yang Biao and the others can rely on!”
Li Jue can tell without using a map that Liu Bei's army must have entered Guanzhong through Wuguan. Now that Liu Bei's vanguard has arrived at Xinfeng, I'm afraid Liu Bei's main force is near Lantian County!
Guo Si said angrily: "If we really have this chance, we might as well attack Chang'an City! Zhang Ji is currently guarding Tongguan very hard. If we can't break into Chang'an City, we will really be trapped and die in this pass!
At this time, Niu Fu thought for a while and said: "How about we just appease him? If we continue to fight, we will die!"
Li Jue said angrily: "How dare you believe Yang Biao? Recruitment is a dead end!"
Niu Fu said: "Of course I know that Yang Biao is not trustworthy, but Li Ru didn't order Han Sui and Ma Teng to be safe. We can go to Xiliang with food and grass. With the army in our hands, no one dares to go to Xiliang."
Come mess with us!
Hu Zhen mocked: "You have the closest relationship with the Prime Minister here. I didn't expect you to be such a heartless guy. The Prime Minister really misjudged you!"
When Niu Fu heard this, he was furious! He pulled out his sword, but Hu Zhen was not used to it. He also pulled out his long sword. Among the generals like Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu had the highest status, but he was the worst in martial arts!
If Niu Fu really dares to take action, Hu Zhen is sure to defeat him in three moves!
When Jia Xu saw them pulling out their knives, he said angrily: "If you want to die here, just do it! Our enemies are extremely powerful now. You don't want to save yourself, but instead kill each other here.
Then none of us will survive!"
Hu Zhen thought for a while and said: "We had some friendship with Liu Bei back then. We also helped Liu Bei surround and kill Zhang Yan. Later, the princes of Guandong rebelled, and Liu Bei also helped the Prime Minister to resist Yuan Shu's 100,000-strong army. Both of us were considered to have survived.
The more important thing is that Liu Bei has always been squeezed out by the powerful nobles. Even though he had made great achievements, he was still pushed out to Xiliang by Yuan Wei and others!"
"I don't believe that Liu Bei has no grudges against Yang Biao and the others. Moreover, regarding the matter of the Prime Minister, it was Yang Biao who felt sorry for us. Liu Bei really wanted to kill us all? Isn't he worried that he will end up like the Prime Minister? You know Yang Biao
These powerful nobles basically don’t have any good things! They will do anything for their rights!”
"I don't think we have any fundamental conflict with Liu Bei. He is a member of the clan. What we should be worried about is His Majesty's safety. As for Yang Biao and the others! I'm afraid Liu Bei wants to kill him faster than us. If we only kill Yang Biao and other clan members,
Gentlemen, please be as respectful to Your Majesty as you were when you were the Prime Minister, so Liu Bei will not say that he will be on our side, but as long as the two sides help each other, it will be a good thing for us!"
Li Jue hesitated and said: "You mean we are in alliance with Liu Bei?"
After hearing what Hu Zhen said, Jia Xu laughed and said: "Not only can we form an alliance with Liu Bei, we can even make Liu Bei the leader of the alliance and let him replace the position of the Prime Minister in the court!"
Niu Fu said dissatisfied: "Why? We worked hard and sacrificed tens of thousands of brothers' lives to defeat Yang Biao and others just to let Liu Bei take over the power of the Han Dynasty. We are not Liu Bei's sons. We have to do such a big thing for Liu Bei."
sacrifice!"
After Dong Zhuo's death, Niu Fu always believed that he was the leader of the Xiliang Army. He had even thought about it for a long time. After killing Yang Biao, he could legitimately take the position of Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister. Niu Fu also wanted to
Become the Prime Minister of the country with less than one person and more than ten thousand people! Now hearing that Jia Xu said that he wanted Liu Bei to get this position, Niu Fu naturally couldn't stand it!
Jia Xu explained: "This way we can win over Liu Bei!"
Li Jue immediately said: "Even if you win over Liu Bei, you don't need to pay such a high price!"
Although Li Jue did not want to become the prime minister of the country, he also wanted to monopolize power, so naturally it was difficult to accept Jia Xu's opinion!
Of course, Jia Xu could see the ambitions of Niu Fu and Li Jue. He was also helpless. His life had not been saved, but his ambitions were so great. He wanted to kill everyone. Looking at these two pig teammates, Jia Xu
Xu still suppressed his anger and explained: "Have you ever thought that even if we kill Yang Biao and others, we can control the court and allow Yuan Shao and others to hand over taxes to us?"
"It's simply impossible, so even if we control the imperial court, we only control Guanzhong. Now Guanzhong is barren. We can't support our army just by relying on this place. But Guanzhong still has to face hundreds of thousands of Lei Gong's army.
If the army in our hands is not strong, Lei Gong will definitely attack us. What can we do to resist Lei Gong's army? Although the position of the Prime Minister is glorious, it is not that easy to do. If you are not careful, you will be
The result of being shattered to pieces!"
After Jia Xu said this, they remembered that Lei Gong was also eyeing Guanzhong now! Although the Prime Minister has great power, he is also a hot potato!
Jia Xu saw that they had figured it out and continued: "Liu Bei is not only a member of the clan, but also has a very good reputation throughout the Han Dynasty. He has the title of a hero in the world. When he is in charge of the Han Dynasty, the clan members of the Han Dynasty will support Liu Bei, and the county guards from all over the world will not dare to oppose him.
, the most important thing is that we can push Liu Bei in the front to resist Thunder Lord, as long as everyone grasps the military power, Liu Bei will not treat us badly even if he is to deal with Thunder Lord!"
"At that time, not only can we save our lives, we can even be promoted to a higher position, and the matter of dealing with Lei Gong can also be passed on to Liu Bei. In this way, Liu Bei will only get the false name of leader, and we will get real benefits!"
