In late May, Chang'an.

Xu Rong and Huangfu Hong held out in Xinfeng City for three days, but the army could not resist and hurriedly retreated to Baling, which was sixty miles away from Chang'an City.

Wang Hong, the Taishou of Fufeng County, and Song Yi, the Taishou of Fengyi County, led their troops to Chang'an to support. This is the only reinforcement Wang Yun has in his hands.

The reinforcements from northern Xinjiang were delayed, and Wang Yun had no choice but to use a delaying tactic to delay the army for a while. Wang Yun immediately asked the Son of Heaven to issue an order to appease and pardon the generals of Xiliang.

The holy decree was sent to Li Dao, who did not look at it, ordered someone to kill the messenger, and commanded the army to storm on.

It has come to this point that all the decrees are false. After conquering Chang'an, everyone can worship the marquis and enjoy all the glory and wealth, and if they are defeated, everyone will die without a place to be buried.

Wang Yun saw that the holy decree of pardon could not impress the rebels, so he asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to give Li Dao, Guo Yan and others additional officials and promotions. Considering that Huang Fuhong had a deep personal relationship with the rebel generals, Wang Yun asked Huang Fuhong to take the holy decree to appease the rebels.

When Li Wei saw Huang Fuhong, he rushed up happily, hugged him, and laughed: "Jianshou, I look forward to your coming." As soon as you come, I will no longer have any scruples about fighting Chang'an. ”

The generals of Xiliang were also smiling, hugging Huang Fuhong into the big tent and drinking happily.

Huangfuhong persuaded them to be appeased, Chang'an could not stay, and they could go to Xiliang. What will happen in the future if you openly rebel like this and become an enemy of the Son of Heaven?

Li Dao smiled and said, "Your kid has grown so big, and he is still as unproductive as when he was a child." This time we discussed, this world is the world of the Han Emperor, but this court is the court of our Xiliang people. We want to ask Lord Huangfu to take charge of state affairs, let Lord Huangfu take us to save Sheji, stabilize Sheji, and revitalize Sheji, and let Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and other scholars all go to hell. ”

Huangfu Hong was dumbfounded.

………………

On the way to attack Chang'an, Li Dao and the generals discussed many times what happened after the defeat of Chang'an.

After conquering Chang'an, if everyone wants to save their lives, if they want to have prominent power and glory, of course, they have to hold the Son of Heaven and the court hostage, but Li Yi and the Northern Xinjiang Army will not abandon the Son of Heaven. This bloody tiger will roar wildly, all the way to the pass. After all, the identity and strength of these people cannot be compared with Dong Zhuo in the past, and after the Battle of Chang'an, the army is already vulnerable.

Li Yi is a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, with a respected status and a strong military force in northern Xinjiang, and he can't say anything that he can't let his people openly hold the Son of Heaven and the court hostage. If Li Yi didn't kill King Qinzhong in the case of the Son of Heaven's suffering, his fate could be imagined. He will not only be insulted and blamed by the people of the world, but will also lose the support and trust of the people in northern Xinjiang. After Li Yizhong betrayed his relatives and left, he may have died worse than Dong Zhuo. At this time, Li Yi is not diligent king, he is a complete thief.

The generals of Xiliang were worried about the fate of the future, but Li Ru was calm and confident in the future.

After Duan Xuan defected, he mentioned this issue to Li Dao, Guo Yan and others again. The army is about to reach Chang'an, if you can't think of a way to stop Li Yi and the Northern Xinjiang Army from entering Guanzhong, everyone should disperse as soon as possible, lest there be no bones left in the future.

Li Ru spoke at this time. Preventing Li Yi from entering the pass is a trivial matter, and a holy decree of the Son of Heaven is sufficient. Li Yi was loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he respected the son of today and the imperial court, which was the main reason why Li Yi refused to join forces with the Dong Alliance to attack Dong Zhuo. It's the same now, as long as Li Yi is safe, as long as the imperial court is still there, and as long as Guanzhong is stable, he will not enter Chang'an.

Li Dao and the generals scoffed. We entered Chang'an, killed Wang Yun and other ministers of the court, and held the Son of Heaven hostage, this is a rebellion, imagine what effect the Son of Heaven decree did to Li Yi at this time? Li Yi's respect for the Son of Heaven is true, but he also has to see who is in charge of the court. When Dong Zhuo was in power, Li Yi did not follow the holy decree in everything, and he also had to see whether the holy decree of the Son of Heaven was beneficial to him, otherwise there would be no Quanzhou ******. After we conquered Chang'an, the court was our final say, and the authority was in our hands, how could Li Yi obey the decree of the Son of Heaven?

Li Ru said with a smile: "If Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are in charge of state affairs, will Li Yi obey the holy decree of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Dao and other Xiliang generals suddenly realized and cheered in unison.

………………

Just when the generals of Xiliang and the imperial army led by Xu Rong were confronting each other in Baling, an iron cavalry was galloping on the galloping road leading from Bingzhou Shangjun to Chang'an City. Because Wang Yun sent all his troops to the east to resist the attack of the Xiliang rebels, the rear was completely empty, and this iron cavalry crossed the Weishui through the Weiqiao without hindrance and appeared under the city of Chang'an.

The first to ride a white horse out of the crowd, the person on the horse was dressed in black and armor, and a bully gun in his hand was Li Yi, who was supposed to be in Jizhou.

Looking at the closed city gate tower coldly, Li Yi shouted: "Li Yi is ordered by King Qin to open the city gate!" ”

Wang Yun looked at the northern Xinjiang army under the city, and his mind couldn't turn. Isn't Li Yi in Jizhou? Why did he suddenly lead the iron cavalry to appear under Chang'an City? What the hell is going on?

Although there is a mud in his mind, Wang Yun knows one thing very well, that is, Li Yi must not be allowed to enter the city, otherwise everything will be irreparable.

Wang Yun knows very well that he can play with Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan, these Western Liang generals, and can play with the people of the world, but Li Yi, the person who controls the most powerful force of the Han Dynasty, once he is allowed to enter the city, he will no longer have the possibility of controlling the world, and the Han will completely fall into the hands of Li Yi.

So, Wang Yun immediately drafted an edict, asking Li Yi to lead the iron cavalry army to Baling to resist Li Dao and other Xiliang rebels.

Li Yi knew the little idea in Wang Yun's heart, and sneered: "Wang Zishi, you don't play tricks for me!" I won't accept your kind of pretensions. ”

Wang Yun said loudly: "Li Yi, you dare to resist the decree?!" ”

Li Yi said coldly: "Resist? Li didn't dare, but I resisted the edict you gave Li. You'd better open the gates of the city to me at once, so that I may meet the Son of Heaven; Either I will lead the army to capture the city, and then enter the palace to ask the Son of Heaven for guilt! ”

Wang Yun saw that Li Yi was soft and hard, and he was panicked. At this time, there were no troops in Chang'an City, and they would definitely not be able to resist Li Yi's iron cavalry. The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry that appeared under Chang'an City is conservatively estimated to be more than 10,000, which is not at all something that the guards in Chang'an City can resist.

Wang Yun's eyes showed a look of pleading, bowed down and said: "General, please think about it carefully, you are committing a rebellion by doing this, and the Han may be overturned." The Great General......"

"I'm running out of patience, I've endured enough." Li Yi roared loudly, "Finally, I will give you an hour, when the time comes, if you don't open the city gate again, Lao Tzu will lead the army to attack the city!" ”

After speaking, Li Yi beat his horse and returned to the front of the army.

In less than an hour, the gate of Chang'an City opened again, and he rode out of the gate and went straight to the front of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

This person is Liu Ai, the servant who came to deliver the message.

Liu Ai came to Li Yi's horse and saluted respectfully: "Hussar general, please accept the order." ”

Li Yi hugged his fists on the horse and said loudly: "I can't pay all the salutes right away, and I ask the angels to take care of them." ”

Of course, Liu Ai didn't dare to entangle these small details with Li Yi, so he immediately opened the holy decree and read: "In the third year of the first peace, the edict of the Son of Heaven said: Li Yi, the general of the great hussars, led the army to Qin Wang, and Kuang Fu Sheji was meritorious......"

Li Yi received the decree and informed Liu Ai that he would enter the city tomorrow to meet the Son of Heaven.

At that moment, Li Yi ordered the army to set up camp under Chang'an City.

On the morning of the next day, Li Yi took Dian Wei and Yuwen Chengdu, two generals, and led five hundred guards into Chang'an City. Although there were only 500 people, Li Yi was not afraid that Wang Yun would plot against him at all. With the two fierce men of Dian Wei and Yuwen Chengdu, plus himself and five hundred guards, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he dares to break through, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 iron cavalry troops under the city.

………………

There is Rome in the east and Chang'an in the west, which is as famous as the world-famous cities of Athens, Cairo and Rome, and is known as the world's four ancient civilizations. Although most of them were recognized by the people of the world after the Tang Dynasty, they had already begun to take shape by the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.

Later generations recorded that the city wall of Chang'an City is nearly 20 zhang high, more than two zhang wide, extremely majestic, and the city area is 36 square kilometers. This was unimaginably huge in ancient times, four times the size of the city of Rome at the same time. This huge city has 12 gates and 8 main streets. The longest street runs east and west, about 5,000 meters.

The palaces, government offices, and noble mansions in the city account for about two-thirds of the city's area. The palace is concentrated in the central and southern parts. There are Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, North Palace and Mingguang Palace. Among them, Weiyang Palace is one of the most famous palaces in Chinese history as the place where many emperors lived and dealt with government affairs from Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.

The residential area is distributed in the north of the city, divided into 160 "Luli", and the market is in the northwest corner of the city, called "Chang'an Nine Cities". In the west of the city, there is a large area of Shanglin Garden, and there are mainly Kunming Pond, Jianzhang Palace and so on in the garden. In the south of the city, there is a group of ceremonial buildings built during the Wang Mang period.

The Han Chang'an City changed the pattern of large and small cities in the Warring States Period, and concentrated the residential area, industrial and commercial area and palace area in one city. This was a manifestation of the strength of the imperial power, and the capitals of later generations followed this system. Since then, the fall of the capital has almost represented the collapse of the country. Unlike the Warring States Period, there were only two broken county towns left, and they could still fight back.

The spacious streets are lined with shops and vendors. There are many smiles on people's faces. This is because the world-famous hussar general led the army to Qinwang, and the people thought that from then on, the Son of Heaven, with the assistance of the hussar general, must work hard to govern and he will be able to live a good life.

On this day, the sun is shining, Chang'an is ten miles outside the west gate, on both sides are lush forests, the wide road in the middle is lined with canopies, colorful flags are displayed, and officials wearing various colors of court clothes are waiting. When the people passed, they were persuaded by the soldiers to stop in the distance.

It turned out that the hundred officials were ordered by the Son of Heaven to go out of the city for ten miles to welcome the hussar general back to the court. (To be continued.) )
