Chapter 84: The City of Chang'an is Destroyed and Four Thieves Shamelessly Control the Imperial Power
Li Jue's army surrounded Chang'an tightly and failed to attack for a long time. Seeing that it was late at night and the visibility was not good, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, they simply withdrew their troops outside the city and waited for another strong attack tomorrow morning!
Corpses piled up like mountains on Chang'an City! Zhang Han led some soldiers on a patrol: "Before the rebels attack, bring all the dead and pile them to the side of the city wall."
After hearing this, the soldiers understood his intention! When Li Jue continued to attack the city in the future, if the soldiers climbed up the city wall, at least there would be a wall of corpses to delay time! The soldiers immediately began to get busy.
Zhang Han looked at the soldiers who were working. They all had young faces. It looked like they had just joined the army. However, when he saw that they were carrying the corpses without any expression, he felt unbearable: These are all young men younger than me, but they are...
They have been so ruthlessly devastated by war. In their view, death is a normal thing. If the world is really peaceful, can they live a normal life?
The answer is of course no. For details, please refer to the various Oscar-winning films depicting Vietnam War veterans. (All kinds of anti-social and anti-human beings!)
At this moment, there was only the sound of a sword fight under the inner wall of the city wall. The soldiers rushed over to take a closer look, but Zhang Han remained unmoved. After a while, a group of soldiers tied up the two men and sent them up to the city wall. It was that man.
Li Meng, Wang Fang!
The two looked at Zhang Han in disbelief: "How dare you lie to us? How could such despicable things be done by a man?"
Zhang Han found it funny when he heard it. This sentence he had heard for several years finally came into use: "A man does things informally! Is your reading in vain?"
The two of them discovered that Zhang Han in front of them was extremely rogue, and they knew that stealing the city gate just now must be a capital crime! They quickly knelt down and begged for mercy!
It turned out that after Zhang Han pretended to agree to the two of them, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the four gates to guard them closely. No matter who dared to sneak into the city, they would be arrested!
...
"Bang" and "bang" were two heavy landing sounds!
Even though Li Jue was far outside the city, he could still hear it and asked Jia Xu next to him: "Commander, what's the situation outside Chang'an City?"
Jia Xu lowered his head and was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "I guess there must be something going on in the city. I'm afraid I'll be punished now if I'm caught! Of course it's the execution method of being thrown down from the city!"
Li Jue squinted his eyes and replied: "If Chang'an is defeated tomorrow, if the military advisor is so accurate, I will definitely send someone to record your reasoning in the annals of history!"
Jia Xu turned around and shook his head as he walked: "There is no need to record it in the annals of history. Today I am the think tank of the rebel army, which is not a glorious thing. Isn't it? Okay, I'm going to bed." After that, he said to himself.
and left inside the tent.
Li Jue was certainly angry when he heard these remarks! How could any servant evaluate his master as a rebel? But after all, Jia Xu was indeed capable, and Li Jue had to rely on him for his military operations at the moment, so there was nothing he could do.
I can only suppress my anger.
The next morning, when the sun began to shine, Li Jue ordered the three armies to continue their fierce attack on Chang'an!
Wang Yun was holding a sword and was stationed on the city wall, while Zhang Han was patrolling back and forth, commanding the soldiers to bravely face the enemy!
But Zhang Han was extremely irritable at the moment. After all, he had already sent people to invite Lu Bu twice! But he didn't see Lu Bu. As the saying goes, there are only three things to do, so Zhang Han sent a third person to ask Lu Bu to go to the city to command!
After a while, the soldiers sent out to invite Lu Bu rushed up to the city and shouted: "Lv...General Lu! He...he...he left with Diao Chan and a large amount of jewelry."
..Leave Chang'an and lead more than a hundred horses to fly out of the pass. I heard that he went to Yuan Shu."
When Zhang Han heard this, he was furious and shouted: "Fuck! Hurry up and chase!"
Wang Yun stretched out his hand to stop him: "This action of such a disloyal and unjust person is also expected. If he fights without intention, what will happen if he catches up? Just don't chase him!"
Zhang Han knew that although Wang Yun's words were good, he was really angry when he thought that the war was imminent and he, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, escaped from the battlefield!
The battle to defend the city continued, but after all, there were not many soldiers in Chang'an to begin with, and Lu Bu lost most of them when he withdrew to Chang'an. The gate of Chang'an City was finally knocked open under the fierce bombardment of the siege vehicles!
As the gate was knocked open, all the soldiers on the tower picked up their weapons and went down to meet the enemy. It seemed that the battle was not yet defeated!
But Zhang Han understood that the thieves were outnumbered, and they had already entered the city. If they didn't retreat, they would die here! But the key was... how to retreat? - Couplet bodyguards!
Just when Zhang Han thought of this, congratulations on getting rich and everything goes as he wished, he flew up to the city wall and anxiously said to Zhang Han: "Lord! I told you that Chang'an would be destroyed. Now the bandits are swarming into the city. Let's leave quickly!"
Zhang Han understood that with the protection of these four people, it would not be difficult to escape. Diao Chan was also taken away by Lu Bu, and the emperor of Chang'an had nothing to do with him! It seemed that Chang'an had nothing to miss at this moment!
only......
Zhang Han still wanted to pull up the old man in front of him!
Zhang Han looked at Wang Yun: "The situation is urgent! Please go with me, Situ. Don't come up with any good ideas."
However, Wang Yun's eyes were firm as he looked at the soldiers who were fighting in Chang'an City, and then looked at the Chang'an Palace in the distance and replied: "If you receive the spirit of Sheji, I can secure the country, that is my wish; if not, I will accept it."
I am willing to die. I will not do anything to escape the difficulties. Now that you are leaving, I hope you can help me thank the princes of Guandong. I hope they will put the country first and never engage in war again!"
Zhang Han roared: "What a fool! Stop pretending at this time! Do you think you are the ambassador of world peace? Do you think the world can be peaceful just by saying a few good wishes? You are considered old
How much? Let me tell you, not many people will care if you die! Come with me quickly!" Zhang Hanxin
After all, Li still admires Wang Yun. Without the help of this old man, he would not have been able to escape the disaster in Luoyang. Without the adoption of this old man, Diao Chan would not be able to live such a prosperous life. Of course, the most important thing is, without the help of this old man,
Strategy, maybe the devil Dong Zhuo is still wreaking havoc on the people!
Despite repeated persuasion, Wang Yun still refused to leave. Zhang Han had no choice but to take advantage of the chaos and leave the city of Chang'an with the couplet bodyguards!
The rebel army rushed into Chang'an. After a while, the whole city was in flames, and all kinds of burning, killing and looting began again! It was as if the scene of burning Luoyang was exactly the same!
Chang'an was captured, but many loyal ministers of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty still stayed by his side. However, Taichang Qing Zhongfu, Imperial Servant Lu Kui, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Chengmen Colonel Cui Lie, and Yueqi Colonel Wang Qi all died in this national disaster.
The thieves surrounded the inner courtyard of the palace. Emperor Xian was worried that the people would become more vicious, so he went to Xuanping Gate, hoping to use his reputation as emperor to stop the war.
When Li Jue and others saw the royal flag being raised, they remembered that Dong Zhuo's tragic death was due to his arrogance and domineering, so he quickly restrained the sergeants and led them to shout "Long live!"
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw that his opponent was trying to take advantage of him, so he Yilou asked: "What do you want to do if you invade Chang'an without waiting for the invitation?"
Li Jue and Guo Si showed respect to the emperor and knelt down to replay: "Master Dong is a minister of His Majesty's State. He was murdered by Wang Yun for no reason. I came here to take revenge and did not dare to rebel. But when I saw Wang Yun, I retreated."
Wang Yun was already with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at this time. After hearing this, he knew that the other party was coming for him! He did not shy away from it, and walked out directly and said: "I am originally a minister of the country. Now that the matter has come to this, Your Majesty will not pity me for harming the country."
"I would like to ask you to see the two thieves." Emperor Xian couldn't bear to hesitate, but after all, the tiger fell in Pingyang. As the saying goes, political power comes from the stalk of a gun. Even if the emperor has no gun in his hand, he is still a waste! It is impossible to protect his men!
Wang Yun stepped out of his heroic spirit and shouted loudly: "Wang Yun is here!"
When Li Jue and Guo Si saw their enemy, they drew their swords and asked angrily: "What crime did Grand Master Dong deserve to be killed on sight?"
After Wang Yun heard this, he sneered: "The crime of Thief Dong is so great that it is unspeakable! On the day of his execution, the people of Chang'an all celebrated each other. Didn't you hear it?"
Li Jue replied: "The Grand Master is guilty; what crime do we have that we are not willing to forgive? I thought I could smoothly be promoted to CEO under Dong Zhuo and marry Bai Fumei! But you! You ruined my dream, and then you actually returned it.
Why don't you let me serve the Emperor?"
Wang Yun cursed: "You are burning down Luoyang, helping the tyrants to do evil, and oppressing the people. Why do traitors say so much? I, Wang Yun, will die today!"
Li Jue and Guo Si were too lazy to talk nonsense, they raised their swords and dropped them...
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty saw that almost all his loyal ministers had died in this battle, he felt pain in his heart. However, he saw that the thieves downstairs still did not disperse, so he asked upstairs: "Since Wang Yun was killed, why did the army and horses not retreat?"
Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other, and then Li Jue licked a big butt cheek and said loudly: "I have served the royal family for meritorious service, but I have not been awarded a title, so I dare not retreat."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had guessed that this was the case, but he didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, although Dong Zhuo was included, there were four more traitors. But now he was obviously threatened by others, and he was afraid of his own reward for the other four traitors.
Not satisfied enough, he simply asked: "What title do you want to ennoble?"
Li, Guo, Zhang and Fan each wrote their official titles and presented them. If they wanted such official titles, the emperor had no choice but to comply.
Li Jue was granted the title of Chariot and Cavalry General, Marquis of Chiyang, and led Sili Xiaowei to give him a holiday axe!
Guo Bang was granted the title of Empress General Meiyanghou Jiajie Yue, and he shared the government affairs with him!
Fan Chou was granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Years as General Right!
Zhang Jifeng was granted the title of Pingyang Marquis, a general of hussars, and led troops to garrison Hongnong!
After the four expressed their gratitude, they forced Emperor Xian to order the search for Dong Zhuo's body!
After a lot of hard work, he only got bits and pieces of skin and bones! Li Jue carved the body out of fragrant wood, put it together, held a large sacrifice, used the king's clothes and coffin, and prepared to choose an auspicious day to move the body to Xiwu.
Jia Xu witnessed the atrocities committed by Li Jue and others since he entered Chang'an. Although he couldn't bear it, he still didn't show it because he knew it was wise to protect himself. It happened that Li Jue came to fulfill his promise - the previous inference about Jia Xu was discovered after entering the city.
, there was indeed a mutiny in Chang'an that night!
Then Li Jue asked about the right time to bury Dong Zhuo's body. Jia Xu calculated it and gave it a day. Li Jue left overjoyed.
On the day of his burial, a thunderstorm suddenly fell from the sky, and the water was several feet deep on the ground! A thunderbolt shook open Dong Zhuo's coffin, and his body shook out of the coffin!
Li Jue was furious and cut off Jia Xu's official position and prepared to wait for a sunny day before burying him.
As a result, whenever Dong Zhuo was buried, the weather was extremely bad! The funeral was rescheduled three times, but he could not be buried. All his skin and bones were destroyed by thunder and fire. In the end, the so-called repayment of gratitude by Li Jue and others came to nothing.
Chapter completed!
