Mu Jing's movements were fast, but he still couldn't keep up with the changes.

He personally led the Third Army of the Pastoral Army, the Pangzi Battalion, the Modao Battalion, Weiduan's Guanzhong soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of main forces, to the border of Hongnong County, and the news of the battlefield in front had been transmitted back one after another.

"Wang Yun is dead?"

Mu Jing let out a long sigh, and his voice was a little low.

In fact, he did not have any prejudice against these loyal Hanchens, and sometimes he admired them, admiring them for being able to strengthen their ambitions in that troubled world, which is a very remarkable thing.

It doesn't matter what their starting point is and what their goal is.

But they always insisted on standing by the side of the Son of Heaven, which was loyal to the Han family.

"Wang Situ has been a big man all his life, and he deserves our admiration for being so upright!"

Xu Shu was also a little sad, after all, he was a world-famous sage, such a figure was a legend in Shilin, and it was a target admired by countless readers.

"Tell me about the detailed process!"

Mu Jing raised his head and looked at Zhao Xin.

"No!"

Zhao Xin nodded and took the order, and then began to say carefully: "The ferocity of the Xiliang army's counterattack, and the defeat of the state army, Lu Bu withdrew his troops from Huayin in order to keep his soldiers and horses, and after he withdrew, he exposed the main force of the imperial court to the attack of the Xiliang army!" “

"Although the main force of the imperial court has gathered a group of young and strong people in Guanzhong, it has failed to form combat effectiveness, and in the face of the fierce Xiliang army, which is as fierce as a tiger and wolf, it can't be stopped at all, and it is defeated and retreated!"

"They retreated to Huayang Town!"

"This is a small township town, backed by Huashan, but it is slightly dangerous, but even so, it can't stop the tiger and wolf army of Xiliang at all!"

"The news I got is that Wang Yun entered the Xiliang camp alone, discussed with the Xiliang generals for half an hour, and then left, what exactly was discussed, because the Xiliang military camp is heavily guarded, we can't insert people, we don't know at present!"

"Then, the next day, the Xiliang army attacked the city!"

"In less than a morning, the Xiliang army broke through the small township town of Huayang Town, and Wang Yun took the responsibility of killing Dong Zhuo and killed himself in front of the king's tent!"

"Sima Fang and other Han generals were killed by the Xiliang army, and all the soldiers and horses under their command were captured by Xiliang!"

"The civil and military officials have also been killed a lot by those fierce generals in Xiliang!"

"It's the Son of Heaven, safe and sound!"

Zhao Xin's report was very careful.

Mu Jing listened, his thoughts must be moving, and his habitual fingers were also tapping gently, and after half a ring, he said in a low voice: "It seems that Wang Yun and Xiliang finally made a valid contract, and with his death, to protect the Son of Heaven!" ”

"The Son of Heaven is a little ruthless!"

Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said.

What the Son of Heaven does, to be carried by the courtiers, this is a matter of course, if it is placed in the prosperous era, no one will say anything, but at this juncture, the Son of Heaven in order to survive, pushed the most loyal courtiers out to die, which is a bit immoral.

Such a son of heaven will have a ruined reputation in the future.

Even if there are loyal ministers of the Han family, they are still willing to serve him, but it is uncertain.

"At the moment of life and death, what else can he do, he can live, it is already a great luck, at this time, will he discuss with Xiliang's group of horsemen for the sake of others, he is afraid that as soon as he speaks, his head will be cut off!"

Mu Jing didn't feel the slightest surprise: "The Son of Heaven was originally a ruthless person, what surprised me was that Xiliang would let the Son of Heaven go, it stands to reason that Xiliang would kill them all and avenge Dong Zhuo, that's right!" ”

"If it's just Li Ru, it's possible!"

Xu Shu said: "But other Xiliang generals, then it is not likely, after all, survival is more important, at this time, if you catch a son of heaven, maybe there is a weight for survival, but if you kill the son of heaven, then you will really die!" ”

"When you say that, I get it!" Mu Jing suddenly remembered the historical record.

Now and history, almost the same.

In history, Wang Yun and Lu Bu got rid of Dong Zhuo, but even if they held Chang'an, they still couldn't hold it in the end, Lu Bu abandoned the city and fled, Wang Yun died Mingzhi, and finally the Xiliang princes killed into the city, which was also a signboard of supporting the Son of Heaven.

"By the way, you just said that Sima Fang is also dead?" Mu Jing was unexpected.

Sima Fang lived to the time of Cao Cao in history.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Xin nodded: "Sima Fang was cut off by Li Yu!" ”

"This Li Yu is a dead leader!"

Mu Jing smiled: "He killed the whole family of Huangfu, he has offended the Guanzhong family, if he can kill Sima Fang, he is a trick to die, in Xiliang, maybe anyone has a chance to live, he must be gone, he can't get out of Guanzhong!" ”

The Guanzhong family, on the frontal battlefield, may not have much effect, but once Xiliang is defeated, it is easy to break out the influence of the Guanzhong family, and countless rangers in Guanzhong will be invited to come out to do it, and it is absolutely exterminating.

"Sima's family?"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, but he remembered that there was a more effective person in his prison.

He thought for a while and said to Zhao Xin: "Zhao Xin, send me a message and return to Jiangzhou City!" ”

"Let one go!"

"Who!"

"Sima Lang!" Mu Jing said.

Sima Lang was ordered to go to Yizhou a few years ago, as a secret envoy of the imperial court, to provoke Liu Zhang to oppose the Ming Marquis's Mansion, but he failed and was always in prison in Jiangzhou.

This man has a bit of backbone.

did not surrender to the herdsman, and Mujing felt that he still had use value, so he did not kill him, and he was locked up all the time.

Now it's time to release it.

After all, the Sima family still has a young Tsukasa Tiger, although this small Tsukasa Tiger may not have much power now, but it is still necessary to make an idle move.

The Guanzhong family is a good force.

"No!"

Zhao Xin received the order.

"My lord, the situation is changing too fast now, should we speed up our march now?"

Zhang Liao arched his hand and asked: "Xiliang is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and it can't hold on the battlefield for long, if the Son of Heaven has fallen into the hands of Xiliang today, we still have a chance to recapture the Son of Heaven, as long as General Huang Zhong makes the first move, and our main force will follow, there is still a great hope, in case it falls into the hands of others, I'm afraid it will ......."

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "I just think that now is the time for us to stand still!" ”

After saying this, he said loudly: "Someone, send an order to Huang Zhong, press the army and do not move!" ”

"No!"

The military order quickly left the barracks and headed north.

He is now far from Huang Zhong's main force, and you don't want to, and the military order can be delivered to Huang Zhong's main army camp within half a day.

"Why, my lord?"

Xu Shu didn't understand Mu Jing's approach very well, so he asked.

"The Son of Heaven is already a bargaining chip for everyone!" Mu Jing said: "We have enough strength, but we don't do what is targeted by everyone, let's see who jumps out first, and then we will consider sending troops!" ”

"Who does the lord think will jump out first?"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but ask.

"How do I know!"

Mu Jing smiled: "In such a chaotic battlefield, the scouts can't quickly deliver the news, and how many things are hidden in it, I'm afraid we can't explore it, since this is the case, we can only wait for them to jump out by themselves!" ”

"What if they plundered the Son of Heaven and jumped out of the battlefield directly?"

Xu Shu was worried and asked.

"No one can easily jump out of this side of the battlefield!" Mu Jing shook his head: "I have enough patience, and I don't think I necessarily need to hold the Son of Heaven, this is a good spreader, if possible......"

A ruthless color appeared in his eyes: "Let there be no son of heaven in the world, maybe it will be better for Yizhou!" ”

He kept Liu Zhang, not without thought.

Once the Son of Heaven is dead.

Then in this world, the article can be left to the princes to do.

…………………………

The scorching sun is like fire, the scorching summer in Guanzhong, and the temperature is climbing day by day.

Although it rains from time to time, it does not make the temperature in Guanzhong fall, but makes Guanzhong even more stuffy.

A day later, in the evening.

Mu Jing and Huang Zhong's main forces converged.

and Huayin City, eighty miles to the southwest, camped on a plain.

At this point, the main force of the herdsman army began to enter the eyes of the princes one by one, and entered the battlefield, even if it was hidden, it was difficult to hide it anymore.

The news of the herdsman's northward march was not a good thing in the eye of the storm in the battle of Guanzhong.

At the same time, there was another news, which also broke out.

That is, the Yuan army actually appeared tens of thousands of main forces, directly occupied Tongguan, and took a favorable position.

Yuan Shao, the overlord of Jizhou, came in person.

This news shocked countless people.

To say, the most panicked should be the Xiliang generals, now the Xiliang army, can be regarded as disabled, only the remaining army, supporting the Son of Heaven, guarding in Huayang, even dare not go north to seize the pass, return to Tongguan.

They can only wait a little longer.

Wait for everyone's movements, and then make a judgment.

Huayang, backed by Huashan, this town was originally a harmonious town, but a war, it was already a mess of chaos, even if it was not affected by the war, it was also harmed by the soldiers of Xiliang.

The Xiliang army, which had lost Dong Zhuo's moderation, was like a beast, they fought on the battlefield, tilted their violence on the civilians, burned and looted, and almost wiped out this town.

Standing next to a dilapidated house in the town were two scholars.

Li Ru and Jia Xu.

They are all the most intelligent people in the entire Xiliang, but at this moment, they seem to be confused about the road ahead.

"Xiliang, it's really hard to become a big thing!"

Jia Xu was a little lonely, he didn't really want to be a leader before, but later, he felt that Dong Zhuo had changed, Dong Zhuo had become motivated, he was willing to try it, assist Dong Zhuo, can he fight for Xiliang, fight a way out.

But now, he understands that Xiliang's foundation will never be able to do big things.

Just look at the present.

This is just an ordinary civilian home, a wife, a husband, a pair of children, the husband was killed by the Xiliang soldiers, the wife was raped, and the two children were also beheaded by the Xiliang soldiers.

A soldier is a bandit.

The Xiliang Army has never changed its essence, and it has never been.

"They're not going to live anymore!" Li Ru's expression was very indifferent, as if all this could not affect him, he looked ahead, the front was the place where the camp was encamped, the general of Guanzhong was raising a glass to celebrate, the Son of Heaven was back in his hand, Guo Yan and Li Yu were in high spirits, they thought that they could take Dong Zhuo's place.

"What about you?"

Li Ru looked at Jia Xu and asked, "What are your plans?" ”

"I'm from Xiliang, the imprint is too deep, the people in the world can take me in, and geometry, I heard that Zhang Xiu is in Liangzhou, and there are still some troops, I will try it and take refuge in him!"

Jia Xu said: "See you one step in the future, take one step!" ”

He asked rhetorically: "Wen Wei, do you have any plans?" ”

"I'm not like you!"

Li Ru shook his head: "I have to die!" ”

As the first strategist by Dong Zhuo's side, Dong Zhuo he represents, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, how can the world tolerate him.

"Don't be reconciled!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice.

"How can you be willing!" Li Ru said gloomily: "It's just one step away, but this step, it's a strange move, stupid son of heaven, why can't he see through this world!" ”

"From the moment I was imprisoned by them, I understood that there was an ending today!"

Jia Xu is in charge of supervising the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to turn his face so quickly and directly confine him, from the moment the Son of Heaven blatantly made a move, he realized it, but the reader was powerless, he could only watch this scene happen.

"Actually, I felt that there would be this scene a long time ago, but later, Master Taishi was indeed changing, he seemed to be becoming more and more wise and powerful, and then I relaxed my vigilance, but I forgot, Taishi is Taishi after all, his bones are humble and unruly, he has never gained power, he will be conscientious and cautious, but once he gains power, he will change, if he is not so arrogant, how can he be tricked!"

Jia Xu said.

Li Ru gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything, no one knew Dong Zhuo's character better than him, and he was too negligent.

"I'm leaving!" Jia Xu sighed, stepped forward, and suddenly turned back and glanced at Li Ru: "This troubled world is still there, I feel that you should survive!" ”

With that, he left, disappearing into the distance, leaving nothing behind, and as for where he went, it was his own business.

Li Ru knows very well that now Xiliang's defeat has been decided.

He instigated this group of generals to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, just to avenge Dong Zhuo, next, next, Xiliang will become the target of public criticism, Jia Xu can leave, and maybe there will be a life.

But he's different.

He is Li Ru, a person who is famous all over the world, and a person who everyone wants to be punished, he wants to die.

As for whether you can live or not, it depends on the will of God.

………………………………

The closest to the Western Liang Army was the Youzhou Army.

The main force of the Youzhou Army crossed the river.

But they don't dare to enter Tongguan, whoever is Tongguan will be the target of everyone, Youzhou may not have the main force, can hold Tongguan, and even if it is held, it is useless, because there is no support.

The Youzhou army has been thinking about the southwest direction and going south along the eastern front, and at this moment, it is only less than thirty miles away from Huayang.

In just one morning, they will be able to launch an attack on Huayang.

"Lord, the news is confirmed, the main force of the Yuan army has entered Tongguan!"

The scout came to report: "The main general is Yuan Shao!" ”

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!"

Liu Bei sighed: "This Yuan Benchu was scheming, he let Ju Yi lead the army as a lure, but instead hid the main force behind, this is to catch them all, and then hold the Son of Heaven hostage and command the world!" ”
