【Chapter 274】 The Beastmaster breaks the city

The night was silent, and the wind was gusting.

郿邬, the main hall of the main hall.

Chen Gong stood at the gate of the palace, looking forward to the sky over Chang'an.

I saw the flickering firelight in the night sky flickering and brightening, gradually getting darker and darker, and before long, it turned into a chaotic darkness and merged with the night.

"It's over, the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty is over!" In the silence, Chen Gong sighed abruptly, and then looked up at the dark night sky with blank eyes, stunned, and stood for a long time.

It is true that the end of the Han Dynasty in Chen Gong's mouth sounds premature at this time, but it is actually in one sentence.

After the continuous turmoil of the Han Dynasty, the supremacy of imperial power and the supremacy of the Ninth Five-Year Plan were gone, the foundation had been lost, and the imperial power had fallen. The dignified Son of Heaven has become a plaything in the hands of the princes and overlords, the emperor's authority is no longer there, the holy decree is like waste paper, and the decree cannot go out of Xiliang. The prestige of these dynasties has been disgraced, the imperial authority accumulated over hundreds of years has been trampled on continuously, the people's hearts have been lost, the dynasty has been lost, and since then it has no longer been able to control the world.

In recent years, relatives have been in power and eunuchs have been rampant, which has shaken the supreme imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Rebellion directly shook and disintegrated the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, making the hearts of the people in the world fluctuate, and they lost the least trust in the Liu family.

In the Luoyang Rebellion, Dong Zhuo waved his troops into Beijing, deposed the young emperor Liu Wei without authorization, abolished the elder and the young, and then killed the young emperor and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world. This move is like overturning the high imperial power to the ground, and then stepping on it heavily, causing the majesty of the Son of Heaven, who once made the people of the world bow down, naked in front of the people of the world, the majesty is lost, and the halo of the Son of Heaven is dim.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others issued an edict without authorization, ordering the princes of the world to attack Luoyang. The promulgation of the edict. It means that those who hold military power have begun to ignore the imperial decrees and treat the edict of the Son of Heaven as child's play. The day of the alliance is equivalent to following Dong Zhuo, trampling on the imperial power again, following Dong Zhuo's footprints, dozens of princes rushed up and stepped on it again. At this point, the once supreme imperial power of the Son of Heaven has been completely lost, and there is no longer the binding force on the princes of the world. Since then, the princes have received the edict and accepted it as a matter of course; When you receive a bad edict or an edict that doesn't suit your heart, you put it aside. Ignore.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo defeated Luoyang and forcibly moved the capital to Chang'an. This undoubtedly stripped off the gorgeous and noble imperial clothes of the Son of Heaven and allowed others to trample on them at will, which also made all the princes follow Dong Zhuo's example. Completely ignore the emperor's orders and do their own thing. Get away with murder.

Wang Yun designed to kill Dong Zhuo. It was indeed a very happy thing, which was enough to lift the hearts of the people in the world and deter the ambitions of the princes. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing to set things right was short-lived, and as soon as it appeared, it was strangled in the cradle by the armies of Li Dao and Guo Yan. Subsequently, the Son of Heaven changed hands again. is still a plaything in the hands of the princes and overlords, so as to control the authority of the world.

The dignified true dragon son is so unbearable, and he has repeatedly become a tool for warlord overlords to seize power and arbitrarily govern. In this way, the imperial authority does not exist. The prestige of the Son of Heaven was lost. At this point, the Han Dynasty has existed in name only, and it will no longer be glorious in the past.

Because of this, a resourceful person like Chen Gong saw through the far-reaching impact of the fall of the Son of Heaven again at a glance, and lamented that the 400-year-old Han Dynasty was completely over.

"Pounce, pounce, pounce!"

Eight hundred paces away in the woods, a huge falcon landed abruptly in the jungle where sporadic fires flashed.

Under the faint light of the fire, Li Xuan took the letter from Tie Xiao's hand, leaned under the torch and read Jia Xu's handwritten letter. Immediately, he rode his horse to Li Li's side and reported in a low voice: "Lord, the war in Chang'an City is over. Huan Fei led the Tiger Roar Battalion to evacuate before Li Dao and Guo Yan's army attacked the palace, and it happened that Wang Yun led the army to block the south gate, and then Huan Fei and others did not embarrass Wang Yun and forcibly rushed out of the palace gate. Then Li Wei's army arrived, Wang Yun did not want to be humiliated, and died at the gate of the palace, and was then broken into pieces by the army. Afterwards, General Li Dao found the corpses of the soldiers of the Tiger Roaring Battalion and immediately ordered Wang Yun to be buried with the courtesy of a prince. In addition, Li Dao's army tried to occupy the whole city, and the Wenhe military division ordered the Qinglong battalion to garrison the northern city and the Tiger Roar battalion to defend the western city. ”

"First break Wang Yun's body into ten thousand pieces, and then bury him with the courtesy of a prince?" After Li Li heard this, he frowned and groaned.

Li Xuan continued: "Lord, when Huan Fei and the others left the palace gate, they deliberately spared Wang Yun's life and did not hurt him. In this way, General Li Dao could naturally see the meaning, so after he found out that our army had attacked the palace first, he immediately knew that the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother had been robbed by our army. And the reason why General Li Wei ordered Wang Yun to be buried was actually for the lord to see. His move was to show the lord that he didn't want to turn against the lord, and he did not send troops to continue to track down the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and his ultimate goal was to let the Lord take the initiative to hand over the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to him. Of course, when the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are returned, it is also the time for the lord to express his position. ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed softly: "Yuan Zhong, you are too modest. My uncle's move was to let me personally take the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to Chang'an to bow down to him. There is no need to hide this kind of words, and a discerning person will know the meaning at a glance. ”

"Then what is the lord's plan? Don't look at General Li Wei's many soldiers and horses, but Chang'an City is now divided into two, he occupies the east and south cities, while our army firmly controls the north and west cities, and is not afraid of him! Li Xuan looked at Li Li with an eager expression and said in a low voice.

Li Li immediately shook his head, sighed softly, and said in a calm tone: "I have already handed over the affairs of Chang'an City to Jia Xu to deal with, and he will act when he meets the opportunity." As for the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, for the time being, let them live in the Gejiapo camp, and then take them to Yiwu under house arrest after I capture them. Wait until the situation is completely clear. ”

"Ugh!" Li Xuan was stunned, and then said with great joy: "The lord is wise. As long as the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are in our hands, General Li Dao will not dare to act rashly, let alone lead the army to attack Yi Wu. He was afraid that our army would throw a rat trap, and if he accidentally injured the Son of Heaven, he was afraid that General Li Dao would not be able to bear the charge of killing the king. ”

Yuan Zhong said cautiously. There are some things that you just need to understand, and there is no need to say them, so as not to cause complications. Li Li turned his head and glanced at Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes. What the lord said was very true. The subordinates got a little carried away, and they spoke out unscrupulously, asking the lord to forgive their sins. Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Li waved his hand lightly, signaling that Li Xuan didn't have to blame himself, and said in a deep voice: "The battle in Chang'an City is over, and Lu Bu has also led the army to walk for half an hour, it's time for us to capture Yiwu." ”

Before the words fell, Li Li immediately carried the golden-backed war knife, his legs were slightly forced, and the mount under his crotch, the Golden Lion Beast King, moved from time to time. Rush out of the woods in an instant.

"Jin Yiwei listened to the order, the whole battalion set out, captured Yi Wu, and killed me with me!" After rushing out of the woods alone, the gold-backed broadsword in Li Li's hand swung vigorously. shouted.

"Da Da Da!"

"Kill ———"

With Li Li's order, three thousand golden guards and three thousand foot soldiers rushed out of the woods in an instant. Closely behind Li Li. roared angrily and rushed to the foot of the city of Yiwu, hundreds of paces away.

"Siege ———"

Eight hundred paces away, in the blink of an eye. When the soldiers approached the city, with the help of the momentum of the sprint, Li Li shouted violently, and drove the Golden Lion Beast King to leap across the three-zhang wide moat, and then the sword flashed. Cut off one side of the rope.

"Bang ———"

The heavy drawbridge crashed down and slammed into both sides of the moat, causing the earth to rumble loudly.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Li Li rode across the moat alone. After cutting the rope, the Golden Lion Beast King made four hooves and carried Li Li straight to the city gate as fast as lightning.

"Huh———"

In the midst of the rapid speed, Li Li let out a long roar, his hands clenched the gold-backed broadsword, and his eyes stared at the gap in the middle of the heavy and solid iron door. Immediately, but seeing that he raised the golden-backed broadsword in both hands, he gathered the strength of his whole body with the fierce galloping momentum of the Golden Lion Beast King, and brazenly swung his knife to slash at the stitches between the two iron doors.

"Boom!"

"Bang ———"

Li Li's judgment was extremely accurate, the knife line was extremely accurate, and the thunder slashed accurately on the solid deadbolt inside the iron door. It's just that although this knife is powerful, the city gate of Yiwu is far stronger and stronger than the city gate of Chang'an, and even the bolt inserted in it is five hardwoods. There is an arm-thick hardwood deadbolt at the top and bottom end, and in the middle is where Li Li swings his knife to slash, and there are as many as three deadbolts. Therefore, Li Li's swift knife failed to break the city gate, although it broke the three deadbolts in the middle. However, Li Li had already prepared for this, and after slashing out, he controlled the Golden Lion Beast King to turn sideways slightly, and slammed his shoulders into the iron door. This time the collision was that he and the Golden Lion Beast slammed the door together, and the master and servant were united and slammed with all their might.

There was a loud banging on the door, and the gap in the iron gate suddenly increased, but the city gate was still not knocked open. Li Li took advantage of the increase in the crack of the door, swished out the golden-backed broadsword sandwiched in the crack of the door, and by cracking a lot of gaps, he jumped up and slashed the deadbolt at the top again. Immediately, he took advantage of the falling momentum and slashed down the crack of the door with a knife in both hands.

"Bang ———"

The sturdy city gate passed through Li Li's almost ferocious beast-like continuous knife rush, and the two gates were not damaged at all, but the bolts of the door were all cut off, and they were opened widely.

"Quick, guard the gates!" When Li Li stepped on the Golden Lion Beast King and rushed open the city gate, he saw a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old scribe holding a long sword and shouting loudly, leading hundreds of armor soldiers to rush towards the city gate.

Li Li rushed into the city gate with a big sword in his hand, and stopped the hundreds of armor soldiers who tried to close the city gate. In the battle at the gate, he fought with one enemy and a hundred, and the golden-backed broadsword flew left and right in his palm, slashing and slashing the defenders who tried to pounce on him to recapture the city gate. When the middle-aged scribe saw Li Li's figure of breaking through the door alone, he was stunned, and subconsciously got out of the way, dodged to the side, and did not swing his sword and rush towards Li Li.

"Don't be surprised, Dian Wei is here!"

A good man can't stand the crowd. No matter how brave Li Li was, the small space at the city gate dictated that he should either rush into the city or exit the city gate. Otherwise, the crowding of the defenders who went forward and followed him could also squeeze him out of the city gates. Just as Li Li was fighting bloodily, Dian Wei, Li Zhi, Tie Tuo and other generals finally led Jin Yiwei through the drawbridge and rushed to the city gate in time.

In an instant, the situation was abruptly reversed.

Hundreds of Lu Bu soldiers faced the iron cavalry of the Jin Yiwei Army, as if they were mantis arms blocking the car, vulnerable to a blow, and in the blink of an eye, they were hit by the torrent of iron hooves, and fled in a hurry.

At this point, the city of Yiwu was broken, and Li Li led Jin Qiwei to ride into the city, and he was already victorious. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
