After defeating Li Jue, Pei Qing ordered Li Su to lead his soldiers to stay in Shangluo, and then led the soldiers of the coalition forces to go directly to Chang'an. He knew that since Li Jue escaped to Chang'an, it would definitely be unfavorable to the emperor. As the emperor's brother-in-law, he took advantage of the victory. If he just watched Li Jue and Guo Si kidnap the emperor, he would not be able to hang out in this world in the future. He would really not be able to lose this person.

Pei Qing's guess was indeed good. After Li Jue led his army back to Chang'an, he briefly told Guo Si about the battle situation and immediately went to Changle Palace, kidnapped the emperor and all officials and ministers respectively, and then took them to the top of the city to threaten Pei Qing with them.

Pei Qing led his army to the city of Chang'an. When he saw this scene, he felt a headache because the scene he was most worried about appeared. Li Jue and Guo Si kidnapped the emperor and all the officials. All the civil and military officials in the court were under their control. In this way, he could not help but be afraid of the rat and could not attack the city.

The emperor asked tremblingly on the top of the city: "I see that the battle clouds are covered with dust and dust is rising. I wonder which Qing family is the leader?"

Seeing this, Pei Qing had no choice but to get off his horse and went up to worship, "I am the governor of Yuzhou, Pei Qing, who met with Your Majesty. Thanks to Your Majesty, I am able to match the princess and become a royal relative. I am grateful and should serve the country with a weak force to repay the emperor's kindness. Now, there is a rebel Li Jue in Xiliang who is domineering, bullying the emperor, and overlords all officials. Any official election must be approved by him in advance. For his own selfish desires, Li Jue killed the general Fan Chou without authorization, and led his army to rob him.

The emperor robbed the emperor to send food and grass, and all kinds of crimes are extremely evil. If the thief is not eliminated for a day, the world will be uneasy. I ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to kill the criminal Li Jue to rest assurance the world. I will be very lucky in the world, the country is very lucky, and the people are very lucky. I know that all the soldiers in the Xiliang army were deceived or coerced by Li Jue, and they are not really willing to be minions. I also ask Your Majesty to forgive them. Except for the culprit Li Jue, the other generals are exempted from punishment."

Pei Qing's approach this time was very clever. He did not target Li Jue and Guo Si, the two leaders of the Xiliang army, but only targeted Li Jue, and made a request to ask only the main evil, but I didn't ask. This would greatly reduce the difficulty of the matter, and at the same time, it would make the generals in the Xiliang army disagree and suspicious of each other. Even Guo Si secretly considered the feasibility of this matter, and Li Jue did not dare to trust anyone.

"My generals, don't be trapped in Pei Qing's plan of disagreement. We are grasshoppers on a rope. Once I die, you will not be alive. Your Majesty, don't believe Pei Qing's accusations. I have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty." When Li Jue heard Pei Qing say this, he was immediately panicked, because many of the Western Liang army were unrighteous people, and they could do anything to protect themselves.

Of course, Li Jue was not just a plea, but also had to rely on his own people at critical moments. So Li Jue signaled his nephew Hu Feng to come forward and kidnap the emperor immediately.

Hu Feng also knew that he was Li Jue's absolute confidant. If Li Jue was killed, no matter who was pardoned, he would not be pardoned. So after thinking about it, he had to walk one way to the darkness. So he waved his hand expressionlessly and asked his personal soldiers to hold the emperor hostage and control it to threaten Pei Qing.

However, at this time, Li Jue's general Dong Cheng stepped forward and shouted loudly: "I think who dares to take action?"

Then the soldiers behind Dong Cheng held swords and guarded the emperor, confronting Hu Feng.

When Li Jue saw this scene, he was furious and pointed at Dong Cheng and said, "Dong Cheng, do you dare to rebel against me?"

Dong Cheng said lightly: "I am not trying to rebel against you, but to ensure the safety of the emperor. As a Han minister and Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, as a royal relative, how could I watch the emperor suffer without being moved? I would rather fight but die than watch the emperor be humiliated!"

Then Yang Feng and Yang Ding stood up and said loudly: "We are willing to accompany General Dong to protect the emperor and serve loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Even if we die, we will never regret it."

In fact, neither Yang Feng nor Yang Ding are truly loyal ministers. Yang Feng was born in the Baibo Army and Yang Ding was also a speculator. They knew that Pei Qing was just polite now and could not hinder Pei Qing's plan to attack the city by relying on one emperor, so Chang'an City would definitely fall. Instead of waiting for the city to be executed by Pei Qing after breaking the city, it would be better to hug the emperor's thigh now and rely on the emperor to save his life, and have the opportunity to get rewards for making meritorious contributions.

So they all stood up at this time and fought against Li Jue's army.

Seeing this, Li Jue suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Okay, I really didn't expect that you two were loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. At the critical moment, I didn't even listen to my words. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Jue then ordered Hu Feng to attack them, regardless of life or death.

Hu Feng agreed and immediately led his army to attack Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, Yang Ding and others, and a melee suddenly appeared on the top of the city.

The little emperor hid behind Dong Cheng's army. When he saw this scene, he was so scared that his face turned pale. I wonder what to do?

However, at this moment, the Grand Marshal Zhu Yan came among them and said loudly: "Everyone, please stop the war and listen to what Zhu said."

"Hmph, listen to you? The surname Zhu, your son Zhu Fu shouted behind our army that our army was defeated, which caused our army to be defeated. I haven't even had time to care about you yet, you are still talking here. Do you really think that the knife in my Li Jie's hand is not sharp?" After seeing Zhu Jie, Li Jie suddenly remembered the scene where Zhu Fu raised his arms and shouted on the battlefield, and said hatefully to Zhu Jie.

But Zhu Yan said lightly: "Li Zhiran, you don't know. I have never liked that rebellious son. What he did has nothing to do with me. I have already cut off the father-son relationship with him. My son is Zhu Hao. I still don't believe in me when you blame me like this at this time. I was originally here to reconcile each other's relationship and discuss the best solution, but I didn't expect you to treat it like this. Since that's the case, it's useless to say what I said before. Let's continue to fight."

After saying that, Zhu Yan turned around and prepared to walk backwards.

Seeing this, Li Jue hurriedly stopped Zhu Jun and said with a smile: "Just just a joke. Why should Mr. Zhu have a good experience with me? Of course, I know Mr. Zhu has nothing to do with Zhu Fu, otherwise I would not have let Mr. Zhu be so free. In fact, I, Li Jue, have been lamenting my misfortune. Jingran has made so many unkind friends, but now I feel lucky because I can meet someone like Mr. Zhu. I believe that with Mr. Zhu, we will definitely be able to discuss a perfect plan. In fact, I can not want Chang'an. As long as I can continue to maintain the army and then become the governor of Liangzhou, I feel very content. Of course, this premise must be that Pei Qing has to keep his word, otherwise I will not stop there."

Although Li Jue's troops are now at an advantage, everyone is in danger now. Who knows if there will be any more accidents? Besides, if Pei Qing really conquered the city regardless of the emperor, he really has no way, so he hopes that things will be resolved quickly.

"Do you want to be the governor of Liangzhou? This is not unrelated, but it will be difficult for Liangzhou Governor Han Sui to deal with it in this way. I will help you think of a relatively good plan."

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he thought silently for a moment and suddenly said in surprise: "I have it, I have come up with a solution, General Zhiran, in fact, we can do this... come close..."

Zhu Jun and Li Jue came closer and said softly: "Actually we can do this..."
