Agents of the Three Kingdoms

After taking Luoyang, Wang Lei took a rest, and then marched westward, approaching Chang'an.

Nearly [-] troops headed west all the way, with the same momentum for a while.Furthermore, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Yan and other generals of the Xiliang Army came forward to persuade them to surrender, which increased the momentum of the Jizhou Army and made many defenders of the Xiliang Army give up resistance.By the beginning of September, the army led by Wang Lei had captured the entire Hongnong County and arrived at Huayin County, the westernmost part of Hongnong County.

Further to the west is the Jingzhaoyin area.

After entering Jingzhao Yin, passing through Zheng County and Baling, you can reach Chang'an.

For the Xiliang army, such a situation could be said to be at stake.

Meiwu, Xiangfu.

In the hall, Dong Juan's face was full of panic.He looked at Dong Lian who was sitting in the hall, and asked loudly: "Dong Lian, didn't I ask you to dispatch troops to stop the Jizhou army? Why didn't it work at all. Wang Lei led the army to kill from Luoyang. People can stop them, and within a short period of time, they have already reached Huayin County. In less than ten days, Wang Lei's army will enter Jingzhaoyin. Tell me, what have you done?"

Dong Lian got up and walked into the hall, knelt down with a plop, with a face of shame, and said: "Xiangguo, I am guilty. Although I tried my best to dispatch soldiers to resist, Wang Lei recruited Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Niu Fu, Duan Yan, Dong Yue and other generals in the army, with the help of these people, the officials and generals of all counties and counties gave up resistance one after another. There was even a situation where the generals sent by the ministers were beheaded to claim credit... No matter what, it was because the ministers were not good at doing things , please punish the country."

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, deep helplessness rose in Dong Huang's eyes.

This time, it was really a miscalculation.

I thought I could stop Wang Lei's army, but I didn't expect this result.Dong Huang took a deep breath, tried his best to regain his composure, and his tone softened, and said: "The fate of the Dong clan is at stake, brother Lian, how can I stop the Jizhou army?"

Dong Lian shook his head and said, "Dong Yue, Niu Fu and others surrendered. With them around, I can't do anything. I really can't think of a solution to the problem."

Having said that, Dong Lian thought in his heart: If Dong Huang directly chooses to surrender, everything will be easier.However, regarding the matter of surrender, Dong Lian would not take the initiative to bring it up, otherwise it would easily arouse Dong Huang's dissatisfaction.

Everything must be done by Dong Huang on his own initiative.

Dong Huang sat down slumped, with a depressed expression on his face.

Dong Lian knelt in the hall and hadn't gotten up yet.

After a long time, Dong Huang suddenly raised his head, waved his hands and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you Xiangguo!"

Dong Lian stood up and returned to his seat.

Dong Juan clenched his fists and said joyfully, "Brother Lian, I thought of a way."

Dong Lian hurriedly asked, "What did Xiangguo think of?"

Dong Huang said: "Abandon Chang'an and withdraw to Xiliang. Wang Lei entered Jingzhao Yin, and he wanted Chang'an and the emperor. If so, I will give it to him. In addition, Cao Cao and Wang Lei's armies are fighting, Wang Lei takes After leaving Chang'an and the little emperor, he is full of ambition and will definitely not send troops to chase after him. If this is the case, won't we be safe?"

Dong Lian was very anxious, if Dong Huang escaped, he would not be able to completely win this battle.Rolling his eyes, Dong Lian said, "Xiangguo, I don't think we can withdraw."

"Why?" Dong Huang asked.

Dong Lian made a serious expression, and analyzed: "I think there are four reasons. First, Chang'an is the foundation laid down by the Dong family. It is easy to give up, but it will be difficult to get it back later. Regardless of the situation No matter how difficult it is, we must do our best to keep Chang'an."

"Secondly, even if Xiangguo leads people out of Chang'an and abandons the little emperor, can Wang Lei let us go? As Xiangguo said, Wang Lei's main force will be on Cao Cao, but I think Wang Lei will send people to chase him down Xiangguo."

"Thirdly, the rise of Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang. Although Li Taiwei sent people to encircle and suppress Ma Teng and Han Sui, they both surrendered on the surface and concealed their thoughts. If we retreat, we may be besieged by them , in order to curry favor with Wang Lei."

"Fourth, the city of Chang'an is strong. If we stay in Chang'an, we may not be able to defend Chang'an. As long as we keep Chang'an, we will be able to overcome all hardships."

Dong Lian kept coming up with various reasons to keep Dong Huang in Chang'an.

As long as Dong Juan sticks to it, when Wang Lei leads the army to arrive, Dong Juan will definitely not be able to escape.

Dong Huang listened to Dong Lian's analysis, nodded heavily and said: "Brother Lian's analysis is reasonable, I agree very much. But brother Lian, have you ever thought about staying in Chang'an, that is to risk your life. Between Wang Lei and Ma Teng Between Han Sui and Han Sui, I am more willing to face Han Sui and Ma Teng, and I believe that the soldiers under my command are also more willing to face Ma Teng and Han Sui. It is important to save our lives, we must withdraw."

Finally, Dong Juan made up his mind to evacuate.

Dong Lian couldn't stop him, and immediately asked: "Xiangguo intends to evacuate, when will he evacuate?"

Dong Huang said: "The sooner the better!"

Dong Lian rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "Xiangguo, if you are not sure about the time to evacuate, how will the soldiers below arrange it? If we want to evacuate, we must leave with the soldiers under our command, otherwise we will go to the west. Liang has no strength to deter Ma Teng and Han Sui, so it will be very dangerous."

Dong Huang nodded, and said: "Brother Lian's analysis is very reasonable, but Wang Lei conquered Hongnong County, and it will not take long to enter Chang'an. I will give you two days to arrange. After two days, there is only The troops under my command will leave with me."

"Yes!"

Dong Lian nodded in response, but felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Two days is enough for him to arrange.

Dong Lian discussed some matters with Dong Huang, then turned and left the hall.After Dong Lian left Meiwu, he hurried back to his residence in a carriage, and then summoned his confidantes as quickly as possible, including Cao Dongliang, Chengmen School Captain Yanyun, and Lieutenant General Huang Hong.

These people were all placed in the Chang'an Army.

Of course, the reputation of these three people under Dong Lian's command is not obvious, and there is a huge gap compared with Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong and others.However, Li Ru's [-] troops were wiped out, and Xu Rong's tens of thousands of troops were also wiped out, leaving Chang'an short of troops.In this way, some young generals in the army suddenly gained a decisive position because there was no one above them.

The three people arranged by Dong Lian took important positions at once.

Dong Liang said: "My lord, the front line has sent back the exact news. Li Ru was killed, and the rest of the generals surrendered. The general led the army and approached Huayin County. Are we going to act?"

Yan Yun said excitedly: "I came to Chang'an from Ye County with my lord, and have been lurking for several years. It's time for us to make achievements."

Huang Hong said: "My lord gives an order!"

Dong Lian smiled slightly and said: "You guessed right, we are indeed going to do something. Dong Huang learned that the general's army has arrived in Huayin County, and plans to take the army back to Xiliang. Hmph, he has a good idea, but he wants to withdraw to Xiliang Liang, how can there be such a good thing." After a pause, Dong Lian asked: "Dong Liang, how many soldiers can you mobilize?"

After thinking carefully, Dong Liang replied: "The lower official is the accountant of the prime minister's mansion, managing the food, regardless of the soldiers in the army. However, the lower official has made friends with many generals, and they are all willing to submit to the general. Roughly, they can There are more than a thousand soldiers mobilized."

"Not bad!"

Dong Lian nodded, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

Dong Liang didn't care about the army, but he mobilized a thousand soldiers, so the other two must have more.

Yan Yun rubbed his fists and said: "The last general is responsible for guarding the gate of the palace. There are about 3000 soldiers who can be mobilized. But the strength of 3000 people is not strong, not elite."

"enough!"

Dong Lian's eyes were full of joy.

Huang Hong continued: "My lord, the last general is the general in the army, and there are six troops that can be mobilized."

"Not bad!"

Dong Lian was even more overjoyed. After a rough calculation, there were already 1 people under his command.With Dong Lian's identity, he could easily enter and exit Meiwu, and after ten thousand soldiers entered Meiwu, they would definitely control Dong Huang easily.

This time, he will make a contribution.

Dong Lian was excited, flicked his sleeves, and ordered: "The opportunity to make meritorious service is in front of you, everyone, go prepare, mobilize the army, and follow me out of the city tomorrow morning."

"promise!"

The three of them were ordered to bow and leave.

……

The moon is like a hook, and the bright moon hangs high.

The imperial city, in the palace.

Emperor Liu Xie is 15 years old. In this era, or as an emperor, he is already a qualified adult.Liu Xie is young and has experienced many things.He encountered eunuchs making trouble since he was a child, so that he was hijacked out of the palace by the eunuch Zhang Rang, and was brought back by Dong Zhuo, who was then made emperor by Dong Zhuo.

Later, the little emperor Liu Xie was taken hostage by Dong Zhuo from Luoyang to Chang'an, but Dong Zhuo's prosperity did not last long and he was killed soon.Then, the little emperor was controlled by Li Ru again, and Li Ru was more ruthless than Dong Zhuo, so that Liu Xie was careful everywhere.

At this moment, Liu Xie laughed heartily in the harem.

The insolent laughter kept echoing.

The head of the state looked at Liu Xie, who was almost insane, with a sigh in his eyes.Among the emperors of all dynasties, Liu Xie was more scheming and capable, but unfortunately, he was out of luck and encountered such troubled times.

After a long time, Liu Xie stopped laughing.

Liu Xie said: "Patriarch, Li Ru is dead, the Xiliang army has collapsed, and Wang Lei will arrive in Chang'an soon. At that time, I will definitely be able to show my ambition and rejuvenate the great man."

In Fu Wan's heart, he was not so optimistic.

However, Liu Xie said so, so he couldn't pour cold water on Fu Wan, and agreed with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, Wang Lei was a good person who participated in the feudal lords' begging for Dong in the past. Judging from his relationship with Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in the past, And quite loyal."

Liu Xie said: "I hope Wang Lei will come back as soon as possible!"

Fu Wan replied: "Your Majesty, it is an eventful time, please be careful."

Liu Xie looked bitter, and said: "Patriarch, what you said is superfluous. If you want soldiers, the court has no soldiers; if you want people, there are no people in the court; if you want money, let alone money, who cares about me? Just ignore us, I'm safe. Besides, if Dong Juan really wants to attack, we can't stop him, we can only let Dong Juan wreak havoc."

Fu Wan sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness.

In the final analysis, the strength is still insufficient. If there is enough strength, what are you afraid of?
