Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 874 The Collapse of the Great Han (5)

  In the mausoleum, Yang Biao and Huangfu Song sat together, with the edict of the Han Emperor in front of them, silent.

After Wang Yun's death, Li Jue and Guo Si did not continue to attack the palace, but asked Liu Xie to issue an edict stating Dong Zhuo's innocence, and in the name of the emperor, gave Yang Biao and Huangfu Song in the mausoleum Send such an order ordering him to surrender his military power immediately.

   This made Yang Biao and Huangfusong extremely embarrassed.

Originally, in the expectation of Yang Biao, Huangfusong, although the imperial city is not a dangerous pass with high walls, thick fortresses, and then the Xiliang army came from afar, fighting continuously, let alone one night, it would be no problem to last for a day or two, but now …

what to do?

   This is a rather tricky question.

  The world is changing, the morning is like dew, and the evening is like rosy clouds. It seems to be colorful and beautiful, but it is often fleeting, leaving only the remnants of the lotus, and the lonely mountains are green.

   Just like the current situation, Yang Biao thought he could control the situation in Chang'an, but he didn't expect that Li Jue, Guo Si and others would suddenly become the hosts, and he ended up in such a passive position.

If they hadn't turned against each other before, they could still deceive themselves to some extent, pretending that nothing happened, and then swallowed their anger for the time being, just like when Dong Zhuo was at the top of the court and the opposition. Once cleaned up.

  However, although I haven’t been in contact with Li Jue and others now, but the swords and guns have already come out, how can I just take them back, even if I pretend to be amicable, it may not be believed...

  Yang Biao knew that if he said something now, he would have known it earlier, and then beat his chest and stamped his feet to regret it, it would be of no use at all, but it would hurt his ambition even more, so he said slowly: "Yizhen, if you mean it, what should I do?"

It's not that Yang Biao is at a loss when encountering major events, and Huangfusong must come to make up his mind. It's just because Yang Biao doesn't know much about military affairs. It became Yang Biao's inevitable choice. Besides, asking this way can also alleviate the state of mutual wariness between the two people, and show that he and Huangfusong are standing on the same line...

  Huangfusong shook his head, and said slowly, one word at a time: "Military power must never be handed over! Li Guo and other thieves, those who are afraid, only soldiers..."

  Having come to this point, Huangfusong has already stubbornly understood the current situation, saying that his disciples and old officials are all over the world, and that his scholarly family has been passed down for hundreds of generations. When real swords and guns are raised, these things will become some bullshit.

  In this world, only military power is the real power, and everything else is secondary.

  At the beginning, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi were not well-known generals in the central command, but they were forced by Dong Zhuo, who held the military power, to either flee or just live.

   Now that he finally regained his military power, how could he hand it over so easily?

  But if you don’t hand it in, it is tantamount to violating the will. Although this will must be the intention of Li Jue and others, it is official, official, and represents the most orthodox order of the imperial court and the great Han.

  Violating this will is tantamount to...

Huangfusong's triangular eyelids were drooping, but there was a flash of light in his eyes, he breathed out, and jumped out word by word, as if each word weighed a thousand catties: "The only plan now is to fight! Li Guo and other thieves have not yet gained a firm foothold, so they immediately attack Chang'an! As for the others, they don't care much..."

   What is other?

   Naturally, those officials in the city, and Liu Xie who was trapped in the palace.

  Huangfusong is still a veteran on the battlefield after all, although sometimes he will be trapped by some things, but when he really needs to be ruthless, of course he can be ruthless.

  Hearing Huangfusong's words, Yang Biao couldn't help but look slightly sideways, but didn't express his opinion immediately.

Huangfusong's method is indeed the best way to deal with it, and it will definitely be effective. At present, Li Jue and others have just entered Chang'an, and no matter whether it is the people in the city or the forbidden army in the imperial city, there is no way to settle down immediately. The time window puts enough pressure on Li Jue and others, not to mention the people and soldiers in the city, etc., seeing the weak side of the Xiliang soldiers, and fighting together inside and outside...

   But the question is, if Li Jue and others repeat their old tricks and put all the officials and even the emperor on the top of the city, can they and Huangfusong be able to do it?

  Similarly, if you can make this decision yourself, but the ones who have to implement it are still ordinary soldiers. For these soldiers, can they really obey orders to kill officials, even the emperor?

   There is an even trickier problem.

  Once this matter really evolves to such a situation, it will become a stain that Yang Biao and Huangfusong will never be able to erase in their entire lives. How many people who kill the emperor can have a good death?

  Besides, Yang Biao has not yet reached the state of being able to control the government and the public and dominate the world. Even if he barely wins Li Guo and others, how will Yang Biao, or the Hongnong Yang family gain a foothold in the remaining political situation?

  Yang Biao shook his head slowly, and said: "Now that the people in Chang'an City are in dire straits, I really don't want to fight again... Yizhen, is there another way?"

  Huangfusong's eyelids moved slightly, and he glanced at Yang Biao, slightly disappointed. He hoped that Yang Biao would agree to such an effective strategy, but also with huge side effects. The reason is very simple. He Huangfusong led the army to fight, and Yang Biao was in the rear. Naturally, Huangfusong can...

  Anyway, when the sky falls, there is a tall man to support it, right?

   But obviously such thoughts cannot be expressed directly, and Huangfusong is just trying it out, so after a moment of silence, Huangfusong said: "...If you don't want to fight, you have to leave..."

   "Let's go..." Yang Biao repeated in a murmur, but his eyes were a little gloomy, "But where can we go..."

  ********************

At this moment, in the Beidi Square in Chang'an City, in the empty office of Li Ru, former Grand Master Shi, Jia Xu did not dislike him, just standing alone in a hall full of dust and spider silk on the beams. among…

"Big man..." Jia Xu shook his head, looked at the walls and window lintels that had been damaged and decayed since no one had lived there for a long time, and whispered to himself softly, "...how? This is a big man... Hehehe... This is the glamorous gentry..."

"...Tell me, is this fun? The house is rotten. Would it be useful to just paint the walls and change the window paper?" Jia Xu stared at the small hole in the corner that should have been made by a mouse, and continued with a smile, "...it should be done now. Let everyone in the world see, wake up, and understand what kind of guy is living in the house..."

   "Hey hey hey..."

"Hahaha…"

   The Battle of Chang'an...

   To paraphrase a sentence from a political class:

   It was a manifestation of the concentrated outbreak of social contradictions in the Han Dynasty at that time...
