Chapter 333 The chaos in Chang'an

After Yan Yan broke up with Bu Zhi, he traveled to Jiangdong and deeply felt the sufferings of the people. After Bu Zhi became an official, he was deeply trusted by Zhou Yu and became the general traitor of the Yangzhou army. He sent people to look for Yan Yan and Zhuge Jin everywhere. First, he found Yan Yan. After several persuasions, Bu Zhi introduced Yan Yan to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao was happy as soon as he saw it and made Yan Yan to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was originally a talent-loving person. He knew that although Yan Yan was not a complementary talent, he was full of knowledge. He had written two books in history, "Tides on the Tide" and "Biography of Filial Piety", which showed that he was knowledgeable. Zhou Yu immediately appointed Yan Yan as the commander of the cavalry and served as the central councillor. Now that Jiangxia has been settled, someone urgently needs to manage internal affairs, Zhou Yu handed over this important task to Yan Yan. Yan Yan knew that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders. He was not good at military affairs and had no martial arts skills, so he gave the military command to Wang Yue completely. He focused on comforting the people, helping the refugees, and paying attention to people's livelihood, and gained a very good reputation for a while.

Just when the war in Jingzhou was frequent, Emperor Liu Xie, who was far away in Chang'an, and his Han court, were in a deep crisis.

After Situ Wang Yun took charge of the government, he became increasingly arrogant and domineering. Although he was different from Dong Zhuo and treated the emperor with courtesy, all the officials were promoted and paid off for life and death. All the officials had complaints secretly, comparing him to Dong Zhuo's second. Wang Yun didn't know that he still felt good about himself and regarded himself as the backbone of the Han Dynasty. China was not good without him.

Although the officials had complaints, the troops in the capital and Sanfu area were all ruled by General Fenwei Lu Bu. Lu Bu was Wang Yun's confidant and obeyed his words. Therefore, the officials had to bury their anger deeply. Occasionally, some of them showed their might and were immediately suppressed by Wang Yun. The rest of them were naturally silent, so how could they dare to rebel?

However, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. An undercurrent slowly surges in the court, gradually becoming bigger and bigger, and its power becomes stronger and stronger.

Lu Bu repeatedly conquered Ma Teng, but Han Sui was unfavorable. Since Dong Zhuo, the cavalry of Xiliang has become more powerful and often led troops to plunder the Sanfu area. Liu Xie was deeply troubled by this. A court official reported that it was better to suppress the enemy than to comfort him. Liu Xie was very happy, so he appointed Ma Teng as the general of the Western Expedition, and Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi, defended Liangzhou together, and resisted the armies of the Western Regions.

Wang Yun also felt that this strategy was very good and agreed on the spot. He could not always let Lu Bu attack Liangzhou, and he wasted his troops in vain. His eyes were already on Bingzhou. Because of the rise of the Baibo army, Bingzhou had been divided. Shangdang, Xihe, Taiyuan, Shangjun, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang all counties established their own side. The position of Bingzhou governor has been vacant for a long time, and no one is willing to be this nameless governor. However, if Lu Bu sent troops to Bingzhou, the situation would be very different. Controlling Bingzhou in his hands in the name of the court can shock the "princes" in various places who have been lip service. Moreover, with the military source and financial resources of Bingzhou, they have greater capital whether it is the Western Expedition or the East Expedition.

Ma Teng and Han Sui had such a good opportunity to transform themselves into local officials who were legitimately guarding Liangzhou. They were very happy and immediately expressed their gratitude. In March, Ma Teng entered Chang'an to meet Liu Xie and stationed troops at Baqiao. Wang Yun suspected his intentions and hurriedly mobilized Lu Bu's army to deploy defenses, but refused Ma Teng's request for an interview with him.

Ma Teng then joined forces with the Shizhong Ma Yu, the left central general Liu Fan and others to attack Lu Bu. The two armies stalemate for many days. Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi who was in Liangzhou, heard that he led his troops to Chang'an to reconcile him, but then attacked Lu Bu with Ma Teng and others. The two armies fought in Changpingguan, fifty miles west of Chang'an.

Lu Bu was very powerful, and two powerful generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang helped him. At first, he won several games in a row, but he didn't know that this was Ma Teng and Han Sui's plan to show weakness. After several games in a row, he set up an ambush in Guandong, Changping. Lu Bu was defeated and wanted to retreat to Chang'an, but was shocked to find that Chang'an City had been occupied by Han Sui's army.

It turned out that it was Zhong Shao, the counselor in the court, Du Bing, the general of the Central Army, and others who conspired with Ma Teng and Han Sui to fight with Lu Bumi. They took advantage of the unpreparedness and cooperated with the inside and outside to open the Zhuque Gate and put Han Sui's troops into the city. Chang'an was then occupied by the Xiliang army.

Lu Bu had no choice but to lead the remaining troops across the Yellow River, attack Shangdang, kill the prefect Zhang Yang, and get all his troops, horses, property, and temporarily keep them.

There were many Qiang people among the soldiers under Ma Teng and Han Suimi. They fought bravely, but their military discipline was very poor. After entering the city of Chang'an, they could not help but run around. When they met the wealthy families with high walls and rich families, they broke into the door and robbed gold, silver and wealth. After a little resistance, they raised their swords and guns and fell to the ground.

At first, they just robbed money, but later they robbed money and robbed sex. Anyone who met beautiful women would be captured in the barracks. For a moment, Chang'an City was full of chaos and mourning, and the people fled one after another. The soldiers of Xiliang became the nightmare of the people of Chang'an.

However, what disappointed Ma Teng and Han Sui was that Emperor Liu Xie was not in Chang'an City. They asked carefully before they found out that before the city was broken, Wang Yun had no idea where he got the information from. He hurriedly brought several confidants from the court to gather the guards from the palace and escorted Liu Xie and Empress Fu to escape from the east gate.

Han Sui was determined to send troops to chase him, but was stopped by Ma Teng. Ma Teng said, "Do you want to be Dong Zhuo?" Han Sui had to give up this idea. After thinking about it, Han Sui felt that Ma Teng's words made sense. To be a powerful minister like Dong Zhuo, the final result would not be much better. He was criticized by the world. It would be better to manage his own Xiliang and be a free prince.

After Ma Teng entered the city, he was very angry at what the Qiang soldiers did. He immediately organized an elite guard and took the lead in patrolling the entire city. He found that those who violated military discipline were immediately executed. With such iron-fisted methods, the order in Chang'an City was maintained. The people celebrated each other, and Ma Teng's reputation was unparalleled.

Ma Teng was angry with what Wang Yun did, so he went to Situ Mansion. Wang Yun's family should be there, and no matter what, he should have let out this anger. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Situ Mansion, the gate was open, and there was a mess inside, and there was no one. It turned out that Wang Yun sent someone to notify his family before leaving the city, and let them escape separately. The property in the mansion was plundered by the rioters.

Liu Xie was taken out of Chang'an City by Wang Yun in a daze. He didn't know the battle between Lu Bu and Ma Teng outside the city, and no one around him told him, which made him feel very sad. He didn't report to him about such a big thing, he was still an emperor!

However, Liu Xie, who was sitting in the carriage, saw Wang Yun's gray hair beard beside him. When he saw him busy with himself, he felt that his loyalty was so he didn't care.

The Grand Marshal Zhu Jun, Grand Marshal Yang Biao, General An Ji Dong Cheng and others were accompanying them out of the city. They guarded Liu Xie's carriage and headed eastward. The long road was long, where were they going?

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
