Seeing Li Hao wanted to commit suicide with a knife, Li Shi was so frightened, but Li Hao’s nephew, Hu Feng, saw the opportunity quickly, hugged Li Hao, and persuaded: "Uncle, keep the green hills here, don’t be afraid that there will be no firewood. , This defeat was due to the enemy’s tricks. If it were a fair and decisive battle, my Xiliang army would definitely not be afraid of them. Why didn’t my uncle rush back to Chang’an and ask the soldiers to fight again.”
Hu Feng and Li Shi are all the nephews and nephews of Li Yu, and it is because of him that he has today's status. If Li Yu dies, these people will sink in an instant. Perhaps there will be no future in this life. Hearing what Hu Feng said, Li Shi returned to his senses and hurriedly said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in the military. Besides, his father has made countless battles for the Taishi. He definitely will not cure his father's crimes because of one defeat. Don’t seek your own short-sightedness,"
Li Yu lost his waist knife and sighed: "I also know the difficulties of sending troops this time, but I never thought that there would be such a disastrous defeat, and that all three nephews were killed here, nothing else, and I went to see the Taishi. Invite the army to come and take revenge again."
When he came, he walked for two full days, but it only took less than a day to go back. He returned to Chang'an that night and knelt outside the gate of the Taishi’s mansion to apologize.
Dong Zhuo is a brutal person. I heard that Li Jia lost the army and broke his generals. Even if he was to be pushed out and beheaded, fortunately, Guo Bang, Fan Chou and others had good friends with him and repeatedly persuaded him to call him into the mansion.
After hearing what Li Yu said, Li Ru leaned back and said: "Enjoy the Taishi, Liu Xin has occupied Hanzhong and Yangping Pass. The next step will definitely be to send troops to Chang'an. Rather than wait for him to attack, it is better to attack first and block them. Inside Yangping Pass,"
Dong Zhuo trusted Li Ru the most. When he led the army into Luoyang, he adopted Li Ru's suggestion. This is how the power prevails today. Since Li Ru said he wanted to take the initiative, Dong Zhuo certainly has no opinion, so he pointed to Lu Bu and said: "Fengxian, you led fifty thousand cavalry as the pioneers to challenge before Yangping Pass, and my army will arrive afterwards."
Lv Bu relied on his high martial arts skills. He defeated Guan Yu last time outside Hulao Pass. He didn’t put the world’s heroes in his eyes. He received the order and promised with his fists.
Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang cavalry totaled 200,000, and there were also 200,000 old Luoyang army and 100,000 defenders in Guanzhong area, a total of 500,000 troops. The 50,000 cavalry soldiers led by Li Xi were almost lost, but The 50,000 old Luoyang army was intact and was stationed in Juxian on standby. When Lü Bu led his troops to leave, Dong Zhuo led one hundred thousand Xiliang cavalry, one hundred thousand Guanzhong army and fifty thousand Luoyang army followed, and ordered people to In the name of the imperial court, the Qiang and the Southern Huns cavalry levied 100,000 each to listen to the army,
This time he dispatched troops and dispatched 550,000 horses. With such a large military operation, the pressure on logistical supplies was very huge. It was inevitable to recruit civilians and mobilize food and grass. As a result, soldiers of various army took the opportunity to blackmail the people and robbed their property. As a result, the city of Chang’an was furious and grievances soared. The news that Dong Zhuo led the army to conquer Hanzhong soon spread to the whole city.
When Situ Wang Yun heard the news, he hurriedly sent Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, Yang Qi, Huangfu Li and others into the mansion to discuss. These people were all ministers in the court. Like Wang Yun, they obeyed Dong Zhuo’s orders in secret. They are all on Liu Xie’s side, and Fu Wan’s identity is Liu Xie’s father-in-law.
Everyone was seated for the guest and the host, and Wang Yun said: "Dong Thief is leading the army to go on the expedition, and the front is empty. I can take this opportunity to take the rightful place."
Dong Cheng hesitated and said: "Although the Dong thief has left Beijing, there are still 100,000 troops in Beijing, all under the command of his cronies. In the DPRK, Yang Biao and Huang Wan gave orders to Dong thief only and promised. It may be difficult to remember things. success,"
Fu Wan also arched his hands and said, "I admire the loyalty of Lord Situ, but Dong Thief and Liu Xin are evil tigers and jackals. No matter who wins or loses in this battle, we will command Chang'an. To be successful is to no avail,"
Wang Yun groaned: "Dong Thief has 550,000 troops. How many people can Liu Xin have in Hanzhong will definitely not be Dong Thief's opponent. Although this battle has not yet started, the victory or defeat has been determined. Only I will be waiting in Chang'an. The sudden trouble in the city made the Dong Thief feel embarrassed to give Liu Xin a chance, but he will lose both sides if he wants to defeat Dong Thief."
Attendant Yang Qi leaned and said: "Cao Mengde now occupies Luoyang Heqing and Yanerzhou, with more than 200,000 soldiers, and countless military officers and generals. Why don't I wait for the opportunity to protect the emperor and return to Luoyang. If Master Situ believes it, Yang I am willing to send someone to contact Meng De and ask him to lead the army to escort him."
Huangfu Li, who has been silent for a long time, said suddenly: "Everyone is rumored that Cao Mengde is a powerful minister in the world and a traitor in troubled times. If the emperor goes up to cast him, I am afraid that he will only get out of the wolf den and enter the tiger's mouth. Then Xu Tu Liu Xin, the emperor should not move lightly,"
Wang Yun nodded and praised: "This is exactly what I want. Liu Xin is a lascivious person. It is not a concern. Wang has already laid a foreshadowing by his side. He can start it soon. Let’s first discuss how to master Jingzhong’s. Military power to prevent Dong thief’s return,"
At this time, Wang Yun's "foreshadowing" has been under house arrest for the fifth day in the small courtyard. Although he has no shortage of food and clothing, he cannot take a step out of the courtyard.
This kind of life is already extremely happy for the two girls, Ziyan and Yanyun. After they were arrested, they were kept in prison for more than a year. There is no female prison in other places, only Xiangyang. There is an exception. Liu Xin has a severe punishment for those gentry families who intend to rebel, that is, to use all their family members as official slaves and reward him with civil and military. In order to prevent these people from disobeying, they are allotted to civil and military. Before they were at home, they had to be kept in jail for a period of time to make them suffer. Therefore, there has been a female prison in the big prison in Xiangyang. Although there is no freedom, life in the small courtyard of the prefectural government Compared with the prison, of course, it is not the same as the day. To Ziyan and Yanyun, such days are like gods.
Diaochan was different. Although her activities were restricted to the backyard of the Zhoumu Mansion in the past, it was impossible for her to step out of the mansion in the Wang Yun Mansion. She had lived like this since she was a child, and she didn't think so. What's wrong, in the past two years in the prefecture, apart from not being seen by Liu Xin, several ladies treated her very well, especially the third wife Cai Yan, who was her old acquaintance, she often asked her about her warmth, right. She cared meticulously. She ate well and dressed well here, and no one forced her to practice those shameful actions. You can also hear magical stories such as "Journey to the West", not to mention the backyard of the State Shepherd House. The garden is large enough, and there are several places in the garden. The design is exquisite and the scenery is different. Swimming in it makes people linger, but now, such a day is gone, she has become a bird in a cage and has lost her freedom.
The place where they were placed under house arrest was not large, there were only three big houses and two small houses. There was not even a tree in the yard. The ground was bare and there was no trace of green. After eating enough every day, there was nowhere to go after two turns. I can only sit silently in the room in a daze, and the surroundings are quiet. Recalling the bit by bit in the past two years in the Zhou Mufu, Diao Chan suddenly realizes that it seems that he hasn’t missed Luoyang for a long time. The days in Zhoumufu are really much happier than Luoyang. This kind of happiness has penetrated into her heart subtly, but now there is nothing.
Seeing Diaochan's gloomy look, Ziyan persuaded: "Miss, don't think too much about it. Master Liu did not directly cure us of our capital crimes, which shows that he still has pity for you. When he comes back from Chang'an, he may be released. Past us,"
Ziyan and Yanyun are not female killers. Like Diao Chan, they are both family tricks raised by Wang Yun and a tool for men to entertain. It's just that they grew up with Diao Chan since they were young, and they are relatively close. Only then was Wang Yun sent to Xiangyang to be responsible for the communication with Diaochan. When leaving Luoyang, Wang Yun repeatedly emphasized to them that Diaochan is already his righteous daughter. If you meet, you must call her a young lady. Wang Yun did this in addition to improving Diaochan’s status, but also had a more important purpose, to make Diaochan be grateful to him, so that he could desperately execute his orders.
The four men who were arrested with them were sent by Wang Yun to assassinate Liu Xin, but they were limited in their abilities, and they were not really killers. As a result, they fell into a cage in a muddle-headed manner, and now they are even more important. The strange place, because they are just ignorant girls, not real killers, Liu Xin spared their lives, but didn’t think about how to deal with them, so they were kept in jail, and now they simply put them and Diaochan in prison. Under house arrest together,
Diao Chan has been in the Zhou Mufu for more than two years. He knows something about Liu Xin’s habits. He knows that he is not like most men at the time. He is full of men’s superiors and inferior women. The wives have a high status in the family, but he Unlike other women, he was sent by Wang Yun to harm Liu Xin. Liu Xin had long understood Wang Yun’s conspiracy. He has only put himself under house arrest until now. When he comes back from Chang'an, will he let him go? I'm afraid Liu Xin wanted to wait for Wang Yun to be arrested and put their father and daughter to death together. Thinking of this, Diao Chan sighed quietly without speaking.
Ziyan and Yanyun were two years younger than Diaochan in the same year. During their lives in Xiangyang, they heard praises of Liu Xin all over their ears. Now they finally saw Liu Xin’s true face in Mount Lu. Sure enough, she was born tall and handsome, and she didn’t know the feeling of sorrow as a teenager. The two girls who were pregnant with spring had just escaped from the dead, and they fantasized about it again. If Liu Xin could accept Diaochan and become Diaochan’s maid, he might be able to do so. There is a chance to reach the sky in one step,
Seeing Diao Chan's worried look, Zi Yan couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, we have all fallen to this point. Don't think about the mission that the master has given you anymore. Miss has a beautiful face, even the servants. I’m tempted now, don’t talk about men, the servants don’t believe that Master Liu will be indifferent when they see the young lady."
Diaochan looked at Ziyan and suddenly smiled bitterly, and said, "Where do you know, I have been in the prefecture for more than two years. Every time an adult sees me, the expression on his face is as calm as water. It shows how much the adult’s city is. Deep, we will never guess what he thinks in his heart."
While she was talking, Yanyun ran in in a panic and said, "Miss, Madam is coming to see you."
