After Li Jue left with his army, the city of Chang'an became dominated by the second generation of the Li family. Almost on the day Li Jue left, Li Xian led his men to raid the Xie family on the charge of colluding with the rebels.

The Xie family is a wealthy family in Sichuan. When Xie Yuan came to Luoyang to work as a boy boy, he later met Huangfu Song and was recruited as his son-in-law by Huangfu Song. With the help of the Huangfu family, he brought some of his clan members to Guanzhong to establish a foothold. Because of the relationship between the Huangfu family

, not to mention a wealthy family now, but it is still quite popular in Chang'an City.

There were indeed many people in the court who secretly exchanged letters with Chen Mo, such as Zhao Wen, and those wealthy Luoyang people who had friendship with Chen Mo in the past, but these did not include gratitude for aid, so when Li Xian used this reason to question

At that time, Xie Yuan felt that he was wronged and argued hard, but was executed by Li Xian on the spot for treason.

Even if Huangfu Jianshou came to plead for mercy, he was almost regarded as an accomplice by Li Xian.

Huangfu Jianshou had a good relationship with Dong Zhuo. Even after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si took control of the government and never showed any disrespect to Huangfu Jianshou. Huangfu Song was a figure who had experienced three dynasties, especially in the land of Guanlong.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the Huangfu family is the first Guanlong family, but it is not an exaggeration to say that Huangfu Song is now the representative of the Guanlong family. He successively served as the Taiwei during the reigns of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Li Jue, and Guo Si.

, chariot general and other important positions.

Back then, Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Huangfu Song, but he failed due to pressure. Now, Li Xian and others did not buy into the Huangfu family at all. They just beat Huangfu Song's son-in-law to death openly and took away Huangfu Song's daughter.

, Huangfu Jianshou wanted to rob someone, but was immediately thrown into jail.

When Huangfu Song heard about this, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and cursed: "This bastard will not die well!"

"Yizhen!" Liu Ai and others who came to visit Huangfu Song quickly supported Huangfu Song, but they lamented in their hearts. They complained about Dong Zhuo's arrogance at the beginning, but no matter how arrogant Dong Zhuo was at that time, he would at least retain the dignity of the royal family, and

He was concerned about the face of the noble family and knew how to control and let go. Later, Dong Zhuo was killed and Wang Yun was overthrown by the Xiliang army not long after he came to the throne. Li Jue and Guo Si came to power.

Li Jue and Guo Si were much more unrestrained than Dong Zhuo, but they were at least a little scrupulous about the Guanzhong gentry. But once Li Jue left, the group of demon kings he left behind really didn't know what scruples were at all.

Killing celebrities and kidnapping their wives and daughters really pushed the bottom line of the Chang'an gentry.

"If you don't kill this thief, I won't die in peace!" Huangfu Song gritted his teeth and said, wishing he could just pick up the knife and kill these little thieves right now.

"Yizhen, then Li Jue is not in Chang'an. These thieves have no scruples and must not be reckless! We should consider the long term!" Liu Ai advised. According to the posture of the three Li Xian, I am afraid that even Huangfu Song will kill him at the word.

kill.

Sometimes you are not afraid of being powerful, but you are afraid of meeting such a powerful and unscrupulous person. Li Xian and the brothers, Li Jue usually has some scruples when he is here, but now that Li Jue has left, he has left those ignorant and reckless people behind.

Their unscrupulousness was vividly displayed. The most important thing was that they held military power. If they were to fight hard at this time, it would be their own side that would suffer in the end.

Huangfu Song naturally couldn't swallow this, and gritted his teeth and said: "My Huangfu family has been loyal and loyal for generations. Even the emperor cannot punish crimes without reason, but now I am being bullied by a child!"

Even when Dong Zhuo was so powerful, he had to find a suitable reason to move Huangfu Song. However, the three Li Xian people skipped this process and dared to kill his son-in-law and kidnap him just for being accused of collaborating with the enemy.

Daughter, how can a person like Huangfusong endure this?

"It might as well be an opportunity!" Zhao Wen on the side suddenly sneered.

"What do you mean by Sikong's words?" Liu Ai turned to look at Zhao Wen and frowned.

"Li Xian is reckless but has no strategy at all. Now that Li Jue is leading the troops, isn't this our chance to seize Chang'an?" Zhao Wen said with a smile.

"It's just that we don't have military power in our hands, how can we compete with them?" Liu Ai sighed.

In the early years, if their retainers and servants had gathered together, they would have been able to gather some people. However, after Wang Yun assassinated Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue and Guo Si retook Chang'an, they became wary of this. Every Chang'an family,

There are no more than five male servants in the clan. Nowadays, almost all of the houses have maids. We can't expect a bunch of maids to form an army and go into battle to kill the enemy, right?

"Weiwei Dong Cheng is now considered a relative, so he may not be willing to succumb to Li Jue!" Zhao Wen looked at the crowd and said solemnly: "If we can get his help to seize Chang'an and make an alliance with Chen Mo, it will be easy for Li Jue to defeat him.

also!"

Dong Cheng?

Everyone frowned slightly when they heard this. This Dong Cheng was Dong Zhuo's old subordinate and a general under Niu Fu. However, his daughter was sent to the palace to become a nobleman under the promotion of Li Jue and Guo Si. In terms of family background, Dong Cheng could not stand out at all, but

Currently in Chang'an City, Dong Cheng is probably the only person with military power who can be persuaded.

"Zi Rou!" Huangfu Song looked at Zhao Wen and said, "You have always been on good terms with Chen Mo. Do you know his plan to raise an army this time?"

Since Zhao Wen came back from his last mission to Hedong, he has spoken highly of Chen Mo and had frequent personal relationships with Chen Mo. This time Chen Mo sent troops, and not many people in the court knew him. What is Chen Mo's plan?

Zhao Wen nodded and said: "To be honest, Bo Dao has indeed discussed with me about sending troops, but the specific method of sending troops was not detailed in the letter. Brother Yi Zhen is a famous general in the world. In your opinion, it may be successful."

no?"

Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "I haven't had much contact with Chen Mo, but he seems to be quite tactful. Moreover, I have seen that in his military use in the past, he mostly won by surprise and power. He was good at using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses. Since he made such a big move this time

I'm afraid there is a slight chance of winning with troops, but I'm worried that... Li Guo's incident will happen again with this son. This son is usable but not trustworthy!"

Although Chen Mo raised troops this time, which was their wish, for them, this Guanzhong is still their world. They need Chen Mo's troops, but they don't want another Dong Zhuo or Li Guo.

"Brother Yizhen, what you said is wrong. Bo Dao, this person can be valued by Cai Weng, and he is definitely not an ambitious person." Zhao Wen frowned and said, he had been in contact with Chen Mo, he was polite to others, decisive in dealing with things, and he was also very considerate of the court.

The spirit of awe is really not like that of a wolfish and ambitious person.

"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts." Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "And I think this son is in power in Bingzhou, and he has the intention of targeting our gentry, so we must be on guard!"

To put it bluntly, Huangfu Song's biggest worry is that Chen Moruo is in charge of the government and implements the method of merging states. When Dong Zhuo used this method, he almost destroyed the roots of the Guanzhong gentry. If Chen Mo does this again, the decline of the Guanzhong gentry will almost be

It's visible.

When Huangfu Song said this, many people who supported Chen Mo fell silent. This was an issue involving fundamental interests. Even if Chen Mo was devoted to the Han, if he followed the same tactics as he did in Bingzhou, it would not win the hearts of the people.

"Besides, Chen Mo is young after all, and he is already a minister. If he is really allowed to take charge, given his age, he might not be able to hold the position of one of the three ministers, right?" A minister nodded.

Compared with other princes, Chen Mo is too young and has not yet reached the rank of a weakling. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if the Duke of Manchu Dynasty was subordinated to a weakling.

Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder what Brother Yizhen is going to do?"

"It's too early to say this now. We need to find Dong Cheng first. If we can convince Dong Cheng, we will work together to seize the military power in Chang'an. At that time, we can order Chen Moqing to surrender the traitors and recapture the emperor, but we will not allow his troops to enter Chang'an.

!" Huangfu Song said in a deep voice.

"Chen Mo is raising troops to serve the king this time because he is here for righteousness. It would be chilling for us to turn him away." Zhao Wen frowned and said, this is too much, right? After all, he is also a feudal official, and he holds the hand

The Xiong soldiers were the main force fighting against the Xiliang army this time. It was a bit excessive for them to shut people out like this.

"In an emergency, you should do an extraordinary thing. If he is a loyal man, he will understand our painstaking efforts." Huangfu Song stood up and gritted his teeth and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, I should get rid of the little thief first! Eliminate the hatred in my heart!

"

Everyone nodded immediately, Liu Ai smiled and said: "I will go down and lobby for Dong Cheng's matter."

Liu Ainai was a member of the Han clan and could be considered a relative. It was most appropriate for him to tell Dong Cheng about this matter.

Everyone felt that it was reasonable. After discussing the specific details, they said goodbye to Huangfu Song and went to their own affairs. If this scholar rebelled, it would be different from the rebellion of ordinary people. It was quite organized. In the next few days, the ministers in Chang'an City seemed to compromise.

In general, they expressed their goodwill to Li Xian and others one after another, and many people even came to visit them in person.

Li Xian and others were so proud that these scholars should not look down upon them.

However, the ministers also restrained themselves somewhat from these overtures of goodwill.

On the other side, after Li Jue led his army out of the city, he led his army straight to Xinfeng. However, in the Bashui area, scouts discovered that the Bingzhou army was setting up camp on the opposite bank.

Bashui is the best strategic location after deductions by Chen Mo, Xu Shu and others. The Bingzhou army is mostly new soldiers. Without a battle formation, if they really open up and fight the Xiliang army, they will not be able to take advantage. Although Wuyi has also experienced war.

, but compared with a battlefield veteran like Li Jue, Chen Mo felt that he was still a little behind in the end.

Wuyi's main goal is to contain Li Jue's main force, not to really attack Chang'an. Therefore, forming a camp and confronting each other in the land of Bashui is the best choice. Li Jue cannot attack all at once, and there is Ba River separating him to the west.

Liang Tieqi's mobility was difficult to use. If the Xiliang army wanted to cross the river and fight, it would be equivalent to giving up its own advantage. Wuyi's side could still attack halfway across the river. It can be said that they had taken advantage of it. As long as Li Jue was restrained, Chen Mo

Once the main force has time to capture Chang'an, Wu Yi will be considered victorious.

"What does Chen Mo mean?" Li Jue rode his horse to the bank of Ba River, frowned and looked at the neat camps on the other side and the arrow towers being built one after another.

"Lord, I think Chen Mo knew that our Xiliang cavalry was powerful and did not dare to fight against our Xiliang cavalry. He deliberately chose this place to restrict our cavalry." A counselor stepped forward and looked at the arrow tower on the other side.
