Chapter 5 is like a bamboo, the twentieth section at the end of March, Wuguan. Kuai Yue led 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers to Wuguan to meet Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Duan Xuan were all subordinates of the great general He Jin in the past, and the three of them led the army to quell the rebellion many times in that year, and they had a deep friendship with each other.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the three of them have gone their separate ways, and it has been five years in the blink of an eye. When we met again this time, I was full of emotion.

Duan Xuan held a banquet in Guanzhong to entertain Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue, and the three of them talked about the past, thinking of the ups and downs of the past few years, they were all melancholy and embarrassed.

"The catastrophe of the Great Han is about to pass." Yuan Shao sighed,

"As long as Li Dao and Guo Yan are defeated, we can easily take Chang'an, so that the king of Qin can become and the society can prosper."

"It's difficult......" Kuai Yue shook his head,

"Although Dong Zhuo is dead, and the rebellions of Li Dao and Guo Yan are about to be defeated, the biggest rebellion of the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. Now Li Hongxiong is located in the three states of Hebei, and his strength has increased sharply, and it is difficult to defeat him. Yuan Shao and Duan Xuan looked at each other and were speechless.

Six years ago, in order to seize the military and government of northern Xinjiang, Li Hong openly led the army south to coerce the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. Five years ago, in order to divide the northern frontier, he refused to go south to seek Dong, which caused the Han Dynasty to quickly overthrow.

Three years ago, in order to realize his hegemony, he led his army to capture Jizhou. Two years ago, in order to completely stabilize Hebei, he led his army to capture Youzhou.

Today, he sits on the three states of Hebei, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he has firmly ranked first among the various forces of the Han Dynasty. If he is allowed to hold the Son of Heaven and the imperial court hostage at this time, the overthrow of the Han Sheji will be irretrievable and inevitable.

Kuai Yue said a lot worriedly, and finally said to Yuan Shao: "In today's world, the only person who can compete with Li Hong is you, my lord." If you can unite all the states and counties and work together, first Qin Wang, and then quell the rebellion, then Sheji still has hope for Zhongxing, otherwise ......" Yuan Shao smiled bitterly,

"I saw the urgency of the situation that I had to change course. You see, my renewed reverence for the Son of the Present actually means ...... to me"

"The fate of the adults is actually in the hands of the adults themselves." Kuai Yue smiled,

"If today's son is the Ming Jun of Zhongxing, if he wants to keep the Han Dynasty, he must rely on important people, and the adults are the capable ministers of the Han Dynasty, and they will definitely be famous in history in the future. If today's son is mediocre and incompetent and unable to undertake the great cause of Zhongxing, the adults may not be able to follow the example of Huo and Yi, rebuild the imperial system, and revitalize Hanzuo. Yuan Shao was ecstatic, and his eyes suddenly sparkled.

He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked in a calm tone: "Is this what Brother Jingsheng meant, or are you ......?"

"This is the meaning of Brother Jingsheng, and it is also the wish of all the courtiers who are loyal to the Great Han." Kuai Yue said solemnly,

"Today, who doesn't want Hanzuo to revivenation? Who doesn't want the great Han Tianwei to come to the world? Who doesn't want to be peaceful in the four seas, and the country and the people are safe? As long as you are in line with the idea of Zhongxing Han, no matter what you do, you can get the full support of the officials of various states and counties. For example, when you enter the customs this time, isn't it because you have received great help from the officials of various states and counties? Yuan Shao smiled and thanked him.

I have more confidence in the plans of King Qin after his success. Urgent reports came from Guanzhong again and again. In the name of the Son of Heaven, Li Wei issued an order to urge Duan Xuan to lead the army to Chang'an and attack and kill Guo Yan, while Guo Wei asked Duan Xuan to lead the army to attack and kill Li Wei and save the Son of Heaven on the pretext that the Son of Heaven was narrowly held by Li Wei and Li Wei connived at his subordinates to burn and kill the palace.

Zhang Ji and Wang Fang hurriedly wrote Duan Xuan, asking him to think about the safety of Guanzhong and not to lead the army north to Chang'an, so as not to let Yuan Shao take the opportunity to enter the customs and everyone will be finished together.

Zhang Ji said in the letter that Wang Fang and I immediately rushed to Chang'an to mediate, and let Li Dao and Guo Yan shake hands and make peace as much as possible.

This Chang'an Rebellion has a great relationship with the ministers and ministers of the Chang'an court, and Li Dao and Guo Yan must have fallen into their divisive scheme.

Immediately afterward, worse news reached Wuguan. Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang received a letter from Guo Yan asking for help, and took up 30,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 Qiang cavalry in Xiliang, and rushed to Guanzhong under the banner of King Qin, and its vanguard army had arrived at Wugong City in Fufeng County.

At the same time, Li Dao also asked for help from the general Li Hong and the general Xu Rong of the expedition to the west, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had already deployed troops on the Yellow River and was ready to cross the river into the pass.

The scuffle situation that Yuan Shao was most worried about inevitably appeared.

"My lord, what should I do? Ma Teng's forward iron cavalry is only about 300 miles away from Chang'an, and we have lost our best chance to capture Chang'an. Xin Ping said helplessly,

"Won't you wait? Wait until the Western Liang Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army are fighting, and we will fight in? Yuan Shao frowned, hesitating.

"Kill it immediately, don't hesitate." Tian Feng said eagerly,

"At this moment, the situation in Guanzhong has suddenly changed drastically, even if Li Hong fights on two fronts, he has to kill King Qin, otherwise how can he explain to the world? Once the Northern Frontier Army enters Guanzhong, our advantage will be completely lost, so we must now take advantage of the fact that the Northern Frontier Army has not yet crossed the river, and enter the Guanzhong as quickly as possible, take down Jing Zhaoyin first, and occupy as many cities as we can. No matter how the situation in Guanzhong changes this time, we can't withdraw from Guanzhong, otherwise we will not only be unable to Qinwang, but we will not even be able to occupy Guanzhong. Tian Feng pointed to the map on the desk and continued: "My lord, please look, Han Sui, Ma Teng's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, General Li Hong's Northern Frontier Army, and our Kwantung Coalition Army, after the three roads of people and horses are killed together, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others must shake hands and make peace, otherwise they will die." ”

"Once the rebels shake hands and make peace, they will take the Son of Heaven to defend Chang'an City, and Guanzhong will immediately repeat the situation of King Qin last year, and finally we have to return empty-handed. Therefore, the top priority now is to take advantage of the opportunity that the Western Liang Army has approached Chang'an, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is still assembling in Hedong, and urgently inform Li Dao that we are willing to help him kill Guo Bian, repel the Western Liang Army, and let Li Dao, Guo Bian and other rebels continue to maintain a confrontation situation. In this way, after we arrive in Chang'an, we will first be able to save the Son of Heaven, take advantage of the time and place, and the situation in Guanzhong will be under the control of adults. ”

"Save the Son of Heaven?" Yuan Shao asked in surprise.

"Save the Son of Heaven, Guanzhong is an adult, and the world is an adult." Tian Feng said excitedly,

"The Son of Heaven has been rescued, even if there is no Guanzhong and no Chang'an City, the Lord will be able to revive the Han Society in the near future." Yuan Shao felt a panic in his heart.

Although he shouts King Qin every day, he is a fake King Qin, it is true to seize Guanzhong and dominate the world, and he is not ready to welcome the Son of Heaven back to Kyoto.

Do I really want to save the Son of Heaven?

"What if Li Dao doesn't want to? What if he returns to Chang'an City with the Son of Heaven? Guo Tu looked at Tian Feng and asked very suspiciously,

"The Western Liang Army is galloping here, and the Northern Xinjiang Army is still on the other side of the Yellow River, what do you say Li Dao will do? Will he believe us? ”

"If he doesn't believe us, he will be trampled to death by Xiliang's iron horseman." Tian Feng sneered,

"Li Wei thought that if he had the Son of Heaven in his hands, he would be able to run rampant in the world, so he would not hesitate to agree to us."

"It's just wishful thinking on your part." Feng Ji sneered,

"Li Dao is not an idiot, he can figure it out without using his brain, once he and the Son of Heaven fall into our hands, what will be the end? He will definitely retreat into Chang'an City and defend the city. ”

"Your Excellency, please make up your mind." Tian Feng was too lazy to argue with Feng Ji, and instead urged Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, contemplating and thinking.

"Burn Chang'an." Yuan Shao suddenly slapped his palm on the desk, gritted his teeth and said,

"Burn Chang'an, Li Dao has no choice but to ask us for help, what other way out does he have?" Everyone was stunned.

Burning down Chang'an City is something that I can't even think of.

"My lord, are you crazy?" Tian Feng roared loudly,

"How can you burn Chang'an City?"

"If we don't burn Chang'an, Li Wei may not believe us, if he retreats to Chang'an City, what will we do? As long as the Northern Xinjiang Army appears under the city of Chang'an, King Qin will fail this year. Yuan Shao said very resolutely,

"There are our people in Chang'an City, and we sent people to warn them urgently, and the soldiers disguised as Li Dao burned down the palace, and then blamed Li Dao and forced Li Dao to a dead end."

"My lord, once the palace is burned, it will inevitably implicate the people's houses in Chang'an City, and then it will not be the palace that will be burned, but the entire Chang'an City." Tian Feng was frightened, knelt on the ground, and loudly dissuaded,

"Your Excellency, please think again. Li Dao has the Son of Heaven in his hands, and Xiliangjun and Guo Yan are watching from the side, of course he is willing to join forces with adults at this time. As long as he joins forces with adults, Li Dao can not only preserve his strength and win time, but also consume the strength of adults, why not do it? Why did he hide in Chang'an City? Is he willing to watch the adults join forces with Han Sui, Ma Teng, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan and others to fight Chang'an? Li Dao is also a battle-hardened general, he is not an idiot, he can't see such a simple truth? Yuan Shao shook his head,

"That's it." Then he walked out of the tent while pointing at Yuan Tan and said,

"Go and invite Kuai Yue, Duan Xuan, and Xu Xuan to come, and I will discuss with them about the army going north to Chang'an tomorrow." Tian Feng wanted to persuade again, but when he saw that the judge had his back to Yuan Shao, he shook his hand at him again and again.

Tian Feng sighed, got up from the ground, looked at Yuan Shao's back and shook his head again and again, looking extremely depressed.

"Why don't you want to honor the Son of the Present Day until you die? The situation in the world has developed to the point where it is today, if you want to dominate the world and prosper the society, you must correctly understand the imperial status of today's son, and you must absolutely respect today's son, why doesn't he understand? ”

"Will he not understand?" The judge saw that Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others had walked out of the big tent one after another, so they leaned into Tian Feng's ear and asked quietly,

"Haven't you seen your mind yet?" A trace of disappointment flashed across Tian Feng's face, and he looked up and sighed,

"As soon as Chang'an burns, Xijing is defeated, Li Dao has no way out, and the fish will die, the net will be broken, and the jade will be burned. In order to survive, Han Sui and Ma Teng were bound to form an alliance with the adults again, and the general had no choice but to retreat to Hedong in the face of the joint attack of the Kwantung Coalition Army and the Western Liang Army. As soon as the fire is burned, although you can occupy Guanzhong, there is a possibility of losing the world, and the gains outweigh the losses. Tian Feng turned his head to look at the trial, and smiled sadly,

"Will your lord rebuild the imperial throne in Luoyang?"

"The situation in Guanzhong will change, and adults may not be able to get their wishes." The judge whispered,

"Li Dao and Guo Yan are not idiots, and Han Sui and Ma Teng will not face the general head-on. Back then, the general won consecutive battles in the western Xinjiang and killed the Xiliang people, and now Han Sui and Ma Teng will not take 40,000 iron cavalry to face the general's Northern Xinjiang army head-on no matter what. The adult wants to borrow a knife to kill people, but this knife is too powerful, and this person is willing to take the initiative to send him to death. ”

"Are you saying that it is possible for the Great General to take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong and succeed King Qin?"

"Yes, I was worried about this, so I didn't dissuade the adults from burning Chang'an." The judge whispered,

"The general is famous in Xiliang and Guanzhong, once he succeeds in King Qin, and takes advantage of the situation to join forces with Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang, the world is basically the general's. Therefore, burning Chang'an now is tantamount to announcing that the general Qinwang's move has failed halfway. The judge patted Tian Feng on the back and asked with a smile: "If the general hears that Chang'an was burned by a fire, what do you think he will do?" ”

"Hurry into the pass to rescue the Son of Heaven."

"What if the Son of Heaven is killed by rebellion?"

"The general had no choice but to retreat to the east of the river." Tian Feng sighed,

"I hope this fire can burn away the rebellion, hit Hebei hard, and revive the Han Dynasty." The judge looked at Tian Feng and sighed,

"Yuan Hao, you really didn't see through the adult's mind?" Tian Feng was shocked, his face suddenly changed, and he waved his hand and said: "Hebei is uncertain for a day, and Zhongxing Dahan can't stop for a day, otherwise, we are all sinners of the Han Dynasty through the ages." "April of the second year of Xingping of the Han Kingdom (195 AD).

At the beginning of April, Xiliang Anding County. Xiao Guan. The general Wei Jun and Liu Ming, the king of the Huns, led the army of iron cavalry galloping, and the huge roar of thousands of horses shook the field.

Huwei General Pang De stood on the tower of the pass city, looking at the overwhelming iron cavalry army in the distance, and his eyes showed excitement.

Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and his expression looked extremely dissatisfied.

"Why haven't Storm Sand and Nie Xiao arrived yet? Let the wolf eat? Wei Jun and Liu Ming galloped close to the pass. Seeing Pound striding over, the two hurriedly flew off their horses and saluted.

"Why hasn't Storm Sand and Nie Xiao's Iron Horse arrived yet? Where are they now? ”

"We're on our way, we'll be there tomorrow." Wei Jun patted the ash on his body and said with a smile,

"There was a heavy rain on Helan Mountain, and the Qiang people delayed their trip."

"But the news about it?" Liu Ming hurriedly asked.

"Lord Huangfu sent news that Li Dao and Guo Yan have already started a fight." Pound said,

"In addition, Mr. Wenyue is leading 40,000 Xiliang troops to Chang'an." Wei Jun and Liu Ming's faces were shocked.

"Where's the Emperor?"

"Lord Huangfuhong has already led the army to Chang'an." Pang De took out a book and handed it to Wei Jun and Liu Ming,

"He's been urging us several times to hurry south to join him. We're on our way tomorrow. "Jump to
