However, it was said that after Li Dao and Guo Yan ambushed Fan Fei and Zhang Ji, they took their soldiers and horses to chase and kill the two to Fenglingdu. As for the Manchu Dynasty, they were left in Chang'an City.

Chang'an has experienced repeated wars, and Li Dao and Guo Yan have unscrupulously killed and plundered the people. As a result, there are fewer than 100 residents in Chang'an. The rest of the people either fled, became bandits, or starved to death.

Li Dao and Guo Yan left Chang'an, leaving only 2,000 soldiers and horses here. Due to the rampant bandits in Chang'an City, the two thousand Xiliang troops were in a hurry every day and were exhausted.

Later, the Western Liang army also ran out of food, and they openly plundered the Manchu ministers. Anyone who resisted would be beaten by them.

Fortunately, these people are still a little afraid of Li Dao and Guo Yan, but they don't dare to hurt people's lives. However, the Manchu ministers who had been plundered of grain and grass had nothing to eat.

In desperation, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty went out of the city to peel the bark of trees and dig grass roots to eat. Shang Shulang and below, all went out of the city to cut firewood and became woodcutters.

However, there are countless jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and hundreds of officials have no experience, and many people are starved to death halfway; There are also many people who have died at the mouths of tigers, leopards, and jackals; There are also many people who are captured by the hungry and red-eyed, and then killed and used as food.

Since then, the great Han monarch is not like a king, and the minister is not like a minister. The decline of the luck of the Han dynasty is unprecedented.

When Lu Bu led his troops into Chang'an and defeated the remaining Xiliang army, only a small half of the court officials were found. The rest died while they were out foraging.

After Lu Bu found the Manchu Dynasty ministers, he found that they were all yellow-skinned and thin, and their clothes were in tatters, where was the majesty that matched their identity?

Rao is a battlefield warrior like Lu Bu, and after seeing this situation, he also felt gloomy in his heart. Fortunately, although Lu Bu is only a martial artist, he still has respect for the Manchu Dynasty.

He did not embarrass these people, but distributed food and clothing, so that these hungry officials were all moved in their hearts.

When Lu Bu informed everyone that the Son of Heaven was protected by the state army, and after Li Dao and Guo Yan were conferred the head, all the officials celebrated, and some people couldn't help but cry.

"The sky can be learned, Li Dao and Guo Yan, the two traitors, have finally been retributed!"

"Now that the traitor is dead, God bless the man. I'm going to meet Your Majesty now, and I must revive the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Yes, even if we fight for this life, we must revitalize the Han!"

All the officials shouted loudly regardless of their image, and some even wore their heads and stomped their feet and sang loudly.

Although the officials were excited, there were still a small number of people who did not say a word, and their brows were furrowed. Huangfu Li shouted even more: "Chen Bingzhou attacked Guanzhong without an edict and robbed the Son of Heaven, does he want to emulate Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yanye?" ”

As soon as these words fell, the whole hall was shocked, and everyone looked at Huangfu Li in amazement.

In fact, the hundred officials deliberately avoided Chen Xu's problem, and they could only pray secretly in their hearts that Chen Xu was a loyal minister.

However, Chen Xu was born in the Yellow Turban and originally wanted to overthrow the Han family. After such a person accepted Zhao'an, he dominated one side, and now he controls the Son of Heaven.

It can be said that no one believes that Chen Xu will become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. It's just that the officials, who have already suffered a lot, deliberately don't think about it.

Now that the fig leaf was uncovered by Huangfu Li, the hundred officials who were celebrating were suddenly stunned.

Huangfu Li is right, leading troops into the customs without an edict is a big crime of rebellion. Before Chen Xu attacked Guanzhong, he had never received the edict of the Son of Heaven at all.

In history, even though Cao Cao entered Guanzhong to welcome the Son of Heaven at that time, he also received the edict of offering the emperor twice. In this way, it is justified.

Chen Xu's behavior, if strictly according to the law, has already become a conspiracy.

When Lu Bu heard Huangfu Li's words, he was immediately furious. Now that Chen Xu is his son-in-law, he doesn't know the twists and turns.

Lu Bu only knew that he led his troops to run thousands of miles into Guanzhong, and after a lot of saddle horse fatigue and several bloody battles, he killed Li Dao and Guo Yan.

If it is really as Huangfu Li said, Chen Xu's behavior is like rebellion, then the credit made by Lu Bu, a pioneer official, will of course not be recognized by the imperial court.

So, Lu Bu, who was furious, strode in front of Huangfu Li, lifted his shirt, and said in a cold voice: "Good thief, I waited until I saw Your Majesty being robbed, so I didn't want to send troops thousands of miles to Guanzhong, and I went through a bloody battle to save the Son of Heaven." ”

"But I don't want to, in the eyes of your guy, we have become rebellious people."

Lu Bu's eyes were red, and he suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist, and he was about to kill Huangfu Li.

Seeing this, all the officials were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercede for Huangfu Li. But he didn't want to, Huangfu Li didn't appreciate it at all, and scolded loudly: "Entering the customs without an edict, how is it different from a traitor?" Even if you kill me today, you won't be able to escape the fact that you are a traitor. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately clenched his steel teeth and scolded loudly: "The thief thinks that he doesn't dare to kill you? ”

After speaking, he waved the sword in his hand to cut off the head of Huangfu Li.

Seeing this, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing and other generals hurriedly stepped forward to grab Lu Bu and said: "The general is angry, before I leave, the lord will explain again and again, don't snub the princess of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

"Even if this person is rude, he should be handed over to the lord to deal with, and we must not kill people rashly."

Lü Bu caught up with Li Dao, and after killing his own soldiers, he shot Li Dao with an arrow and was about to flee. Then, Wei Xu whispered to Lu Bu: "I am now under Bingzhou, if we call the general 'lord' in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that Chen Jizhou will not be jealous." ”

Wei Xu's words made Lu Bu ponder for a while, and then he ordered the generals under his command to call him 'General' and Chen Xu 'Lord Gong'.

Lu Bu was pulled by the generals, and there was no way to kill Huangfu Li again. The rest of the hundred officials also took the opportunity to take away Huangfu Li and prevent him from angering Lu Bu again.

Fortunately, although Lu Bu was angry, he didn't really want to kill Huangfu Li. Otherwise, how could Wei Xu and the others stop him?

In the final analysis, for the Manchu Minister, Lu Bu still retains fear and respect in his heart. Not only him, but all those martial artists from poor backgrounds are very yearning and eager for the scholar class.

Therefore, even if the hundred officials are now like fish on the board, Lu Bu still does not dare to use the sword soldiers.

Just like Dong Zhuo in the past, he just began to occupy Luoyang, and he was desperately trying to win over the scholars. But after repeated betrayals, he became angry and raised the butcher knife in his hand.

Although Lu Bu was brave, as Chen Xu's subordinate, he did not dare to commit suicide in vain, so as to bring trouble to Chen Xu.

After finding the living officials, Lu Bu prepared to travel under the stars and took them to meet the Son of Heaven.

Suddenly, a person came to report: "General, Huangfu Li has hung up the seal and left!" ”

"Oh?" Lu Bu was shocked in his heart, and thought, "All the officials are here, if I kill him, it will naturally have a bad impact." Now that he has resigned from his official position, and when he leaves this place, I will send someone to kill him halfway, but it will be all right. ”

Thinking of this, Lu Bu summoned Cao Xing and asked him to go after and kill Huangfu Li.

I didn't want to, but Cao Xing advised: "General, the matter of Huangfu Li scolding the lord has already been known to everyone. If he hangs up the seal and leaves, but dies in the middle of the way, others will definitely suspect that we did it. ”

"In this way, will not the tongue be spoken? Please also ask the general to think twice. ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, and said with some annoyance: "If there is chaos today, bandits are rampant." If Huangfu Li is killed by thieves in the middle of the way, will others also rely on my head? ”

Cao Xing shook his head and said: "The Huangfu family is a family of generals, and Huangfu Li's own bravery is also extraordinary. Coupled with his intelligence, how could ordinary bandits kill him? ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu stopped talking. After a while, he waved his hand unwillingly and did not continue to speak.

Cao Xing understood and retreated.

After Huangfu Li left, someone reported the matter to Taiwei Yang Biao. When Yang Biao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Huangfu Li's trick of getting out of the shell of the golden cicada is really a good use." ”

The man was puzzled and asked, "I have tasted it: it is too rigid and easy to break." Now the champion Hou, according to the annexation of the state and the land of Guanzhong, has many generals. Although Huangfu Li is dedicated to the country, his words are a little too excited. ”

"If he acts like this, it is easy to bring death to himself."

has experienced the cruel rule of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, and these scholars no longer have the arrogance they used to have. They had no doubt that if he angered Chen Xu, who was born in the Yellow Turban, he would not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife.

Yang Biao smiled and said, "Huangfu Li acted like this, not recklessly, but to save his life. ”

"Survival?"

The man asked, somewhat stunned.

"Yes, it's life-saving."

Yang Biao said: "The Huangfu clan is a family of Jiangmen, and the strength of their family reached its peak when Huangfu Song defeated the Yellow Turban. ”

"The three brothers of Yuzhou Yellow Turban and Zhang Jiao all died at the hands of Huangfu Song. It can be said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion that integrated the Han Dynasty was almost all pacified by Huangfu Song. ”

"In the process of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song's methods were extremely cruel and killed many Yellow Turban soldiers. It can be said that the enmity between Huangfu Song and the Yellow Turban Army is as deep as the sea. ”

"Even if Huangfu Song was later killed by Chen Wenzhao, the hatred between the two is not easy to dissolve."

"Now that Chen Wenzhao is powerful, Huangfu Li, as the son of Huangfu Song, if he doesn't get out as soon as possible, after seeing Chen Wenzhao, his life will be lost sooner or later."

Although Huangfu Li's words were too radical today, he was sure that Lu Bu would not dare to make a move on him. After he made such a fuss, Huangfu Li pretended to resign angrily and left, not only to protect his reputation, but also to meet Chen Wenzhao. ”

"That's why I said that Huangfu Li's trick of getting out of the shell of the golden cicada is used well."

When the man heard this, it suddenly dawned on him.
