I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 308, loyal and traitorous

Although Liu Bei is now the general of Zhennan, he is regarded as a vassal in the Han Dynasty, and he is equivalent to the Sangong in rank, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking authority, but Liu Bei has no connections in the court at all, and his power may not even be counted as the court's Jiuqing.If it is a contest of force, Yang Biao cannot be Liu Bei's opponent, but in the court's political struggle, I am afraid that Yang Biao can easily deal with Liu Bei, so Hu Zhen will say that Liu Bei deceived him, because Liu Bei wants to rely on the power of the court to deal with Yang Biao is basically impossible!

Hu Zhen continued: "Why don't you join forces with us to attack Chang'an City, we will kill Yang Biao, Zhang Wen and others, and you will protect His Majesty. After the matter is completed, we will recommend you as the prime minister of the great man and take charge of the power of the great man. Otherwise, we are the enemy, so don't blame us for not being sympathetic and even attacking with you!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei said coldly, "Then let's see whose sword is sharper!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at Hu Zhen with a sense of oppression on their faces, which made Hu Zhen feel the threat of death. He naturally knew Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But Hu Zhen said excitedly: "General Zhennan, you are also a warrior and have also been in the frontier. I thought you would understand us. What we want is just a way to survive. The country's prime minister has defended the country for more than 30 years. It shouldn't be With such an ending, we have defended the western border for the big man for 20 years! Then suddenly it became a rebellion!"

Speaking of which, Hu Zhen took off her clothes, exposed her bruised body and shouted: "I, Hu Zhen, have fought bloody battles for the big man for more than [-] years. I almost died on the battlefield several times, and in the end I became a The big man has rebelled, and there is no way to survive. What is the reason? They say that the treacherous ministers of the country and we are rebellious, but the country and we have shed blood and been injured for the big man. We survived only by narrow escape, Yang Biao, Zhang Wen, what did they do, the big man gave them glory and wealth, high officials and generous salary, what did they do for the big man, did they fight bloody battles for the big man, or gave their lives for the big man, why does he say that we do it for the big man? A man who has shed blood is a traitor!"

Then he looked at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei, do you think this is fair! Those of us who shed blood for the big man will eventually die at the hands of the big masters like Yang Biao. If we don't obey, we will be rebellious and traitors. Is there such a reason in the world?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also jealous. Hu Zhen's scars cannot be faked. Compared with Yang Biao and the others, Hu Zhen and the others have more reason to say that they are loyal ministers!
To be honest, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not willing to protect Yang Biao and the others to fight Hu Zhen and the others. Just like what Hu Zhen and the others said, they have been in the frontier and naturally know the hardships of the frontier, but the officials like Yang Biao They only know how to drink soldiers' blood, eat soldiers' flesh, and crush and devour their bones and scum!
Liu Bei also said with jealousy: "I understand you! I, Liu Bei, was also fought in the Southern and Northern Wars. Naturally, I know the dangers and hardships of the frontier. It is not you who are wrong this time. It is Yang Biao and the others who are sorry for you, but the court cannot mess up , the imperial court is in chaos, and the big man we have worked so hard to guard for 20 years is finished! Our meritorious service is meaningless!"

"If you trust me, Liu Bei, you will stay in Xinfeng City first, and I, Liu Bei, will lead the troops to Chang'an City. Even if I risk my life, I will ask the emperor to kill Yang Biao and Zhang Wen to avenge Dong Guoxiang. If the Son of Heaven does not agree, I, Liu Bei, am also willing to splatter three feet of blood to kill Yang Biao and Zhang Wen."

Liu Bei's words were obviously not what Hu Zhen wanted, and he could only say disappointedly: "We don't trust anyone now, and we have to avenge the prime minister's blood feud ourselves!"

Looking at Hu Zhen who left, Zhang Fei asked: "Brother, Yang Biao and the others are not good people. I think we should unite with Hu Zhen and the others to kill Yang Biao, so that Sili will be safe!"

Since Liu Bei's rise, they have been tricked by powerful clansmen. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhang Fei to have a good impression of Yang Biao and the others. Relatively speaking, Zhang Fei is more willing to become allies with Hu Zhen and the others!
Becoming allies with Yang Biao and the others, Zhang Fei was worried about Liu Bei's safety, for fear that Yang Biao would suddenly kill Liu Bei, and then label him and Guan Yu rebellious. At the sight of rebellion, Zhang Fei felt shuddering!It is so insecure to be with such a person.

Liu Bei said: "This is what you want to cause chaos in the world. Now that Sili has been split, half of the imperial court's soldiers and horses are in the hands of Hu Zhen and the others, and half are in the hands of Yang Biao and the others. Even if we join forces with Hu Zhen and the others to kill Yang Biao, But Shang Shuling Zhu Jun still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, what should we do if there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, should we continue to fight and consume all the elite in the hands of the court like this! Don't forget that Lei Gong is still watching in Bingzhou We, we have wiped out the army in our hands, and when Lei Gong invades Luoyang City, what are we going to do to resist Lei Gong's army!"

Liu Bei looked in the direction of Chang'an City and said: "The best way to resolve this dispute is to go to Chang'an City, capture Yang Biao, Zhang Wen and others in the name of His Majesty, and rehabilitate Dong Zhuo, so that Hu Zhen and others Will calm the anger!"

Liu Bei now knows what he should do, he should go to Chang'an City to resolve this mutiny!
Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Hu Zhen and the others have lost Dong Zhuo's protection, I'm afraid no one will trust them now! Even if the eldest brother gets the heads of Yang Biao and Zhang Wen, it will be difficult to calm their anger, and it will make the court ministers think that we Colluded with Hu Zhen and the others.

Now the important ministers of the imperial court are afraid that it is impossible to trust Hu Zhen and the others, and the two sides may not be able to reconcile!Only by going to the next side can Si Li completely calm down. Although I am a little sorry for Hu Zhen and the others, the best ending for the big man now is to completely encircle and suppress Hu Zhen and the others, try to capture the army in Hu Zhen's hands as much as possible, and preserve the strength for the court! "

Liu Bei said firmly: "I want to try once and see if I can quell this mutiny with the least cost!"

Yuan Ji thought for a while and said, "General, it is not impossible to minimize the loss of this mutiny!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei saluted Yuan Ji and said, "Brother Shi Ji, please speak up!"

Yuan Jidao: "Now the imperial court and Hu Zhen have no trust at all, unless the imperial court leads soldiers and horses to kill them all, or they kill all the important officials of the court and control the power of the big man. Of course, this is the worst result. But with the current Judging from the situation, the best outcome for the imperial court is to use the heads of Yang Biao and the others to appease the anger of Hu Zhen and the others, but killing Yang Biao and the others may cause turmoil in the imperial court.

The only solution now is to let them fully understand that it is impossible for them to conquer Chang'an City. If they continue to stay in Guanzhong, the Xiliang army may even be wiped out. In this way, they may take the initiative to leave Sili and let Hu Zhen and the others return Go to Xiliang, which is the hometown of Hu Zhen and others, so that they won't worry about the imperial court chasing and killing them again!And in this way, the elite army of the imperial court does not have to kill each other! "

"Return to Xiliang!" Liu Bei realized that there seemed to be no better way than this!It is impossible for Hu Zhen and the others to take away all the troops in their hands when they go to Xiliang!In this way, the elite of the imperial court can be regarded as preserved.

After making up his mind, Liu Bei marched to Chang'an City with his army!

Baling is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, and Liu Bei's army began to enter Chang'an City a day later!

After seeing Liu Bei's army, Yang Biao and others breathed a sigh of relief. Chang'an City finally has a reliable army and generals to guard it!

As soon as Liu Bei came to Chang'an City, he immediately met Emperor Xian!
After Emperor Xian saw Liu Bei, he hugged Liu Bei and cried loudly!
During this period, Emperor Xian was also very terrified every day. Li Ru and Niu Fu's army approached Chang'an City step by step, but Yang Biao and the others couldn't come up with a solution to the problem. They only quarreled in front of him every day, which made him very scared. Can't sleep at night!
Emperor Xian is 11 years old this year, and he has begun to understand things gradually, but this year's mutiny made him completely incomprehensible. Since Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, although he has been domineering to the officials, he has been very kind to Emperor Xian, not only caring about his In daily life, he often boasted to Emperor Xian about his military exploits in Xiliang, all of which made the young Emperor Xian worship Dong Zhuo, thinking that Dong Zhuo was a hero of the great man!

But such a hero suddenly disappeared. Yang Biao led many ministers to tell Emperor Xian that Dong Zhuo was a big treacherous minister and had been eliminated by them, and His Majesty would be safe in the future.But the actions of Yang Biao and the others made Emperor Xian very terrified, he could not feel any respect for him from Yang Biao and the others' actions, they just deceived a child among themselves!More importantly, it didn't take long for Yang Biao and the others to say that Dong Zhuo's subordinates were hateful. They didn't obey the orders of the court, and attacking the court had become a rebellion. The young Emperor Xian watched Yang Biao and the others quarrel in the court every day.

This kind of quarrel made Emperor Xian terrified. After Liu Bei came to Chang'an City, Emperor Xian showed his fear!

Liu Bei hugged the emaciated Son of Heaven, and he was crying all the time. He could feel the fear of Emperor Xian. As the Son of Heaven, his life was so precarious. Yang Biao and the others should all be damned!

Emperor Xian was tired from crying, and fell asleep in Liu Bei's arms.

Liu Bei asked his attendants to carry Emperor Xian into the harem, and then into Weiyang Palace!
At this time, Yang Biao and the others gathered here, and they discussed in depth how to deal with Niu Fu and others. After they saw Liu Bei enter Chang'an City, Niu Fu and others were defeated!Then it's their turn to concoct Niu Fu and others!
They saw Liu Bei enter the hall and said happily: "General Zhennan came just in time. Let's really discuss how to deal with Niu Fu and other rebels, so that the world can see what will happen to Niu Fu and others who betrayed the big man!"

But Liu Bei asked with a cold face: "Liu Bei wants to ask the Taiwei, what did the Prime Minister Dong Zhuo commit? You need to kill the prime minister of a country without going through the court!"

Liu Bei's words calmed down the hall instantly, they didn't expect Liu Bei to be Dong Zhuo's supporter!
Yang Biao said: "Dong Zhuo, you have committed crimes against the emperor, and even promulgated such a decree as the "Decree of Prosecution" that harmed the country and the people. The world does not know how many merchants died because of the ruin of Dong Zhuo's family!"

Zhang Wen also said: "Since Dong Zhuo came to power, he has slaughtered dozens of noble families, and tens of thousands of people have died under the butcher knife of the Xiliang army. Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang army are full of evil. How can we kill such villains?" Is it still wrong!"

Although what Yang Biao and Zhang Wen said was so righteous, Liu Bei was not moved by them, but said with a cold face: "Taiwei, let tens of thousands of soldiers of the big man die tragically! Let the entire strength of millions of people be displaced, even your majesty Everyone thinks that what you have done is frightening, can this not be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor, should the court convict the Taiwei?"

Yang Biao said solemnly: "The general wants to use my head to put down Hu Zhen's rebellion? If they are willing to give up the army in their hands, why should I cherish this head? Hu Zhen and the others are different from the general. They are all It is impossible for warlords to abandon the army in their hands. The imperial court can only exterminate such rebellious officials and thieves, but cannot appease them. Appreciating them is the weakness of the imperial court in their eyes, and they will push forward even more!"

Zhao Qi felt Liu Bei's killing intent and said: "Chang'an City is maintained by Wenxian's disciples and old officials. If the general kills Wenxian, Chang'an City will collapse without a fight. The most important thing for the court now is to defeat Dong Zhuo's subordinates." , I will talk about other things later!"

At the same time, Hu Zhen returned to the Xiliang military camp!
"Although Liu Bei sympathizes with us and is even willing to help us kill Yang Biao, Zhang Wen and others, he is a clan member of the Han family after all. He does not allow us to continue attacking Chang'an City. He said that as long as we continue to attack Chang'an City, he will Just hit us!"

"It seems that Liu Bei doesn't want us to live anymore! Just fight, when Li Ru leads the army over, we have 11 troops, and we will fight them in this pass!" Li Jue said viciously.

But Niu Fu already had the intention to retire at this time. He knew that after Liu Bei's army entered Chang'an City, they would have no chance of winning, and staying in Guanzhong could only be courting death!
So Niu Fu said: "After Liu Bei led the army into Chang'an City, we have lost hope of conquering Chang'an City. We have tried our best to avenge the country's prime minister, but God does not help us, and we have nothing to do. Now we have to Find a way to survive. In my opinion, it is better for us to lead the army to Xiliang now. Xiliang is our territory. With the army in our hands, who can threaten us? At that time, we can dominate Xiliang gone."

Li Jue said angrily: "Xiliang is barren, how could it be possible to support our army? Don't forget, if it weren't for the Prime Minister, Han Sui and Ma Teng's army would starve to death. We're afraid that Han Sui and Ma Teng will turn around and beat us right away!"

Hu Zhen said: "Don't think about other things. Only after we conquer Chang'an can everyone save their lives, and even have great power, glory and wealth. What are you going to do in Xiliang? Do you want to eat sand!"
