Chapter 12 The flag was not rolled, and the fourth carriage drove into Yang's mansion. With the support of his family, Yang Biao personally greeted him.

Xiao Lan bowed down from afar,

"Uncle is very polite, and the juniors can't afford it......"

"Child, get up, get up......" Yang Biao hurriedly took a few steps and helped her up with a smile.

"Why are you free to visit me today?" Xiao Lan stood up and held Yang Biao's arm affectionately,

"I heard that my uncle is going back to my hometown in Kansai, so I came to send it off." Yang Biao was slightly stunned, frowned thoughtfully, and waved his hand at the family members and guests around him, signaling them to retreat.

The storm in Chang'an involves all forces, and everyone has been planning for a long time, waiting for the final decisive moment.

The Battle of Nanyang itself was a court game, and the lives of more than 30,000 soldiers were ultimately exchanged for the redistribution of power in the court, but to achieve this goal, excellent opportunities and careful planning were required.

The stability of the situation in northern Xinjiang and the serious illness of the great general are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this time, the warriors in the court had to make a choice for their own interests.

Which side to choose to get the most benefits? It is the eldest princess who holds the authority of the Great Han, and in the event that the Great General may fall, supporting the eldest princess is the only option.

The eldest princess and the prime minister are already incompatible, and the battle between the imperial power and the prime minister has reached a white-hot level.

The gate valve family is sure to win. As long as the eldest princess returns to Chang'an, the armies of Hedong and Kansai can be dispatched.

At this moment, the Fengyun Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are ready to go, and a big war may break out at any time, and Guanzhong is facing the danger of losing their lives.

For the sake of the stability of the society, in order to obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost, whether it is the eldest princess, the martial artist, or the gate valve family, there is only mutual compromise, and the price of compromise is to kill Prime Minister Li Wei.

However, no one expected that things would suddenly change drastically, and the seriously ill general actually persuaded the eldest princess to let the eldest princess return to the government of Xiao Tianzi in advance, and let Xiao Tianzi make a decree to marry the eldest princess into the family.

In doing so, the general first considered the stability of the community, and in order to stabilize the society, he first had to stabilize the northwest and northwest frontiers.

In the case that he is seriously ill and may die soon, he can only make this helpless choice, hand over all the forces of Northern Xinjiang to the eldest princess, and let the eldest princess replace him to control the desert.

The eldest princess returned to power when Xiao Tianzi went to Jinyang, and Xiao Tianzi supported the Nanyang battlefield despite the Chang'an crisis.

At this moment, as long as the northern Xinjiang is stable and the southern battlefield is stable, even if Chang'an is destroyed, it will not be able to destroy Sheji.

Chang'an is gone, there is Luoyang, the Chang'an court is destroyed, and it can still be rebuilt in Luoyang. Faced with the situation that took a turn for the worse, the great Sima Xu Rong and the Taiwei Zhang Yan were cornered, and they could only suppress the rebellion without hesitation and put down the rebellion as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, even if the two of them kill everyone, what awaits them will be ruined.

Who are Xu Rong and Zhang Yan going to kill? Will it really kill everyone? They had to kill. Now that the rebellion in the northwest and Xinjiang has just been quelled, the rebellion in the south is still waiting for the soldiers, and the situation in the Han is extremely tense.

The general is dead, the martial artists in the court have not yet gained a stable foothold, and the great cause of Zhongxing is still far away, what choice do they have?

Only kill. The lesson of Dong Zhuo's failure is too profound for the warriors, from the general to the ordinary general, reflecting on Dong Zhuo's failure all the time.

The general has always hoped that the warriors will enter the court to take charge of the government, which is a countermeasure he formulated to avoid repeating the disaster of Dong Zhuo.

But he died, and the warriors lost their support, can this policy still be enforced? Impossible, absolutely impossible, then the warriors had to take the bloodiest way, kill, and kill all the gate lords, bureaucrats and soldiers who threatened their survival.

The gate valve families did not dare to move. After Yang Biao, Xun You, Chen Qun, Yuan Lian, Zhang Fan, Cui Yan, Wei Che and others got the news, they invariably sent people to gallop all over the country, and 100,000 people hurriedly canceled all actions and destroyed all evidence, but there was one evidence they could not destroy, that is, the rebels who were attacking Duling.

In the current situation, only the rebels can be sacrificed, but the rebel generals will agree? Are they willing to sacrifice their own lives and the lives of their families to save others?

Will Xu Rong and Zhang Yan agree? Are they willing to spare the opportunity to slaughter their opponents? There is only one way, and that is to shake hands with Li Wei and make peace.

Li Wei is also worried about his life, but Li Wei is ruthless, cunning and deceitful, plus he is the backbone of the Northern Xinjiang system, he must have a way to get out, and he will never let go of such a good opportunity to hit his opponent.

Even if he can't keep himself, he has to bring everyone to the funeral for him. Just when Yang Biao was at a loss, Xiao Lan came.

Yang Biao was overjoyed and went out to greet him personally. Today, the only person who can solve the deadlock of the Chang'an crisis is Lord Zhu Xiaolan.

Sure enough, Xiao Lan's first sentence made clear the purpose of her visit to Yang Biao.

"Child, I'm old, I can't do it anymore, I have long wanted to return to my hometown in Kansai, but ......" Yang Biao said with a pun on his feet while walking slowly with the support of Xiao Lan,

"Here are my clan relatives, my protégés, and many of my old friends, I can't bear them." Xiao Lan pursed her lips and chuckled,

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier. Now that the little emperor is in charge, the court should have a new look, which is also a helpless thing. It's also a good thing to retreat from the rapids. Yang Biao laughed, a little bitter and sad in his laughter.

Lose all the games, lose all the games.

"The situation in Chang'an is critical, the general is not here, and the eldest princess is also married, Your Majesty should return to Beijing in time to preside over the overall situation, and should not go south at this time......" Yang Biao stopped,

"What do you say?"

"The situation in Chang'an is critical?" Xiao Lan looked up at the clear blue sky, laughing coquettishly,

"What are you kidding, Uncle? Chang'an is very calm, what is the crisis? Now that the general is gone, His Majesty should take up the great task of Zhongxing without hesitation and lead the army to fight in the south. Xiao Lan patted Yang Biao's arm affectionately,

"Uncle, go back with confidence, Chang'an will be fine." Yang Biao's heart was relieved, and he let out a long breath,

"I'm relieved when you say that. Chang'an can leave it to you. Xiao Lan smiled and nodded,

"Uncle is the teacher of the Son of Heaven, after returning to Kansai, don't forget the Son of Heaven's studies, if your health permits, you have to come back often." Yang Biao shook his head.

"Once I'm gone, I won't come back." He turned his head to look north, and the smile on his face faded,

"In my lifetime, I wonder if I will be able to see the general?"

"The Great General will not come back." Tears suddenly welled up in Xiao Lan's eyes,

"He finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed."

"What about Your Highness? Can I still see His Highness? ”

"It's impossible." Xiao Lan's tears rolled down,

"When the general transferred the Fengyun Iron Cavalry from the desert back to Jinyang, everything had already been decided, and no one could change their fate." Yang Biao stood for a long time, silently looking at the white clouds in the sky.

An inexplicable sadness suddenly flowed out of the bottom of my heart, slowly soaking my whole body. Fengyun Iron Cavalry, as long as there is Fengyun Iron Cavalry, as long as there is the loyalty and courage of Fengyun Iron Cavalry, the world will always be the world of the Han Dynasty.

He slowly closed his eyes, and an old tear quietly fell. Weiyang Palace, Qilin Palace. Xu Rong sat behind the desk, his left hand supporting his cheeks, his right hand on the desk, and his index finger lightly tapping on the table, fast or slow, without any rhythm.

Zhang Yan stood by the window with her arms crossed, staring intently at the branches swaying in the wind in the garden, motionless, like a sculpture.

Xiao Lan sat on the brocade mat, surrounded by bundles of bamboo slips, silk books, and wooden slips piled up like a hill, and she looked around with great interest, her expression calm, with a shallow smile on her face.

Tian Chou suddenly cried, hid his face and cried bitterly,

"Yuan Shu said to me back then, the court is the façade, and the state politics is fraud, I thought I understood, but I didn't understand until now, I didn't understand, I never understood. There is another sentence behind Yuan Shu, we are all despicable and shameless villains, we are all villains......" He slapped himself in the face hard,

"Shameless, shameless, shameless......" Tian Chou stood up suddenly, kicked open the door, and walked away with a wail.

Xiao Lan turned her head to look at Tian Chou's back, extremely ashamed. Xu Rong didn't move, there was no expression on his face, and the speed of his index finger was getting faster and faster.

Zhang Yan walked slowly to the door and closed the door.

"Then let's do it." Zhang Yan said in a low voice,

"Since the general has transferred General Lu Bu away, he obviously wants to give us a step down, hoping that we will solve the matter satisfactorily."

"What about General Yan Liang?" Shinoran asked,

"Will he agree?"

"Qizhi (Yang Feng), Heizi (Wang Dang) and others are all in Yuan Yao's hands, and Zishan (Yan Liang) will not think about the consequences." Zhang Yan said,

"Except for Fengxian (Lu Bu), who insisted on killing the rebels, no one else wanted to stain Chang'an with blood. The general's meaning is very clear, and there is no need for us to hesitate. ”

"What does Da Sima mean?" Xiao Lan looked at Xu Rong and asked. Xu Rong looked up to the sky and sighed, covering his face tightly with his hands,

"The general's illness has worsened, and it is all for us to be angry. More than 30,000 soldiers died in vain, and he hated it......"

"There's no way around it." Xiao Lan sighed bitterly,

"It is precisely because of the death of 30,000 soldiers that the contradictions in the court were intensified in advance, causing chaos in Chang'an, forcing the general to leave the eldest princess in Jinyang to deter the desert. As a result, the eldest princess had to return to power in advance. The eldest princess retreated into the background and became the wife of the general, and her strength jumped to the peak in an instant, forcing all parties in the court to compromise with each other in order to deal with the terrible consequences caused by the death of the general. All parties in the court compromised and worked together to defend the little emperor, so that the society could be stable, and the Han could continue to move towards Zhongxing, which is a good thing. ”

"In any case, the 30,000 soldiers did not die in vain, they used their lives to resolve all kinds of crises in Chang'an, and laid the last cornerstone for the Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty, and they made great contributions." Zhang Yan smiled, laughing very sadly and desolately,

"Xiao Lan, forget it, forget it......" He shook his hand again and again,

"You can do whatever you want. What more could you ask for? ”

"The general is seriously ill and cannot serve as a director, and someone must replace the general in charge of the army." Shinolan said,

"Now that General Lu Bu is gone, General Yang Feng was defeated in Nanyang, and only General Yushi, General Zhao Yun and General Yan Liang are qualified to replace the general in charge of the army. In the past, the general intended to let General Zhao Yun take the position of general, so ......"

"The time is not right, so let's wait for the time being." Zhang Yan thought for a moment and shook her head,

"No matter who comes out to replace the general, it will shake the morale of the army." Xiao Lan looked at Xu Rong. Xu Rong lowered his head and did not react.

"The matter of military power is very important, and it is related to the safety of the community, how can it be delayed?" Xiao Lan said solemnly,

"The general is no longer an official position, it is the glory of the Han Dynasty, it is the legend of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty no longer has the official position of the Great General." Zhang Yan understood, and Xu Rong also understood.

"Please Your Majesty, worship General Zhao Yun as the general of the hussars, and lead the general military." Xu Rong looked up to the sky and sighed,

"Again Your Majesty, this dynasty will no longer set up the rank of general, the general is a person, and he is a hero of my Han." On October, Guanzhong, Duling.

Cui An handed the silk book to the candle flame and burned it,

"Do you have any questions?" Yuan Yao, Huang Yi, Lu Mian, Zi Shu, Zheng Bao, Liu Xun, Guo Yuan and others have not yet woken up from their extreme shock, and they are all stunned.

"Although Lord Yuan Yao is nominally held hostage by you, the people of Chang'an know what's going on." Cui An smiled,

"But it doesn't matter, no one has any evidence that Lord Yuan Yao participated in the rebellion, so you don't have to worry about his safety. Also, your family is safe. The Prime Minister has revised the criminal law and abolished the joint sitting, even if you have committed the ten serious crimes, you will not sit together, so your family will be fine, and you can rest assured that you will go south and join me in Xiangyang. ”

"You're going too?" Huang Yi asked in surprise.

"Of course......" Cui An laughed,

"I openly rebelled, just to reassure you, if the court kills your family, then my brothers Cui Yan and Cui Lin can't escape, right?"

"I am close friends with Xu Shu and Shi Tao, and with my relationship, coupled with the help you gave to the people of Jingzhou in the Nanyang War, Xiangyang will definitely take us in. In this way, we will have the opportunity to seize Nanyang and Xiangyang, and we will be the heroes of the Han Dynasty in the future, and we can still enjoy the glory and wealth as in the past, right? Zheng Bao scolded hatefully,

"A bunch of shameless villains, if Lao Tzu can go back to Chang'an, he will definitely kill them."

"That's for the future...... "Cui An smiled,

"The top priority now is to immediately retreat, withdraw from Guanzhong, leave Wuguan, and defect to Xiangyang." Jump to
