"The rooster crows high and the tree is over, and the dog barks deep in the palace. Where can the tyrants be? The world is peaceful.

Criminal law does not have credit, and softness and integrity are not only the name. Gold is the king's door, and jade is the Xuantang.

There were two bottles of wine on it, which was used as a preacher in Handan. King Liu was green and later went out of the King of Guomen.

In the wing room, Zhang Rui relaxed her fingers, plucked the strings of the piano, and played a brisk music. At the same time, she also sang softly and recited the poem "The Crown of the Rooster". The gentle singing and the brisk piano sound complement each other, like a pool of spring water, making people unconsciously intoxicated by her singing and piano sound.

There is a square pond behind the house, with two mandarin ducks in the pond. There are seventy-two mandarin ducks, which are arranged in their own rows.

The sound of chirping sounds, I heard that four or five brothers were all the attendants in the east wing of my palace.

At one o'clock in the five days, the viewers are surrounded by the road. The golden horse's head is so brilliant!”

Yan Xing sat quietly beside her, squinting his eyes slightly, listening to the beautiful and pleasant vocal music.

If Yan Xing, who is not very literary, can only compare her to the yellow oriole in the valley, with her melodious and melodious songs, just like the sound of nature. Although she sang softly, she can just touch the heartstrings of the audience. With her graceful and long lyrics, I don’t know how many people will be intoxicated by it. The mandarin ducks sing, the zither and the zither are harmonious, the light fur and the horse are surrounded with the frost of teeth, the situation changes, and the lightness and easing are all between her singing voice.

The Qiang Di and Hu Ba in the frontier and the chants and chants in the army are often heard by Yan Xing, but he has rarely heard of the gorgeous and elegant temple lyrics like "The Crown of the Rooster" since he joined the army. Now he listens quietly to Zhang Rui's singing and feels that it really has a unique charm.

However, although it feels pleasant, Yan Xing still prefers the chants and chants in the army in comparison. However, this kind of military music is not suitable for Zhang Rui to sing. If it is replaced by a chant in the army, Zhang Rui's soft voice will become a disadvantage. The song without masculinity is completely exposed, and the brisk and pleasant sound of the piano is not as exciting as the horn of the war drum. The addition of the two items completely ruins such a good voice and this gorgeous and elegant poem.

"Don't you like this poem?"

Zhang Rui suddenly stopped plucking the strings of the jade fingers, raised her head slightly, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked Yan Xing softly.

Yan Xing laughed at the sound, stood up from her, tidied up his clothes, and looked at him.

"Someone is here!"

Indeed, someone has come.

Zhang Rui had already heard the footsteps outside the yard and the sound of Jiaye when the guards approached the room.

Yan Xing smiled at her, reached out to signal her not to get up and stop playing, then he stepped open the door and left outside the yard.

Zhou Liang, who was thin, walked over and walked over to Yan Xing's side after seeing Yan Xing leave the room.

"Lord, the emperor of Chang'an has sent an envoy to summon you to the capital."

"oh!"

Zhou Liang said carefully, Yan Xing's eyes lit up, and things did not exceed his expectations. He shouted and said sarcastically:

"It seems that Li Jue, Guo Si and others have already used this emperor's edict. After summoning Wang Hong, Song Yi and others, they are now going to summon me to Beijing."

Zhou Liang glanced at Yan Xing, who was unmoved, and said with concern:

"I heard that the inside and outside of the court were under the control of Li, Guo and others. At this time, it was probably Li Ru's plan to enter Chang'an, so the lord had to guard against it."

After hearing Zhou Liang's warning, Yan Xing nodded sincerely although he did not comment.

Everything is indeed as Zhou Liang said, and Chang'an City has fallen into the hands of the Xiliang Army.

From the assassination of Dong Zhuo in April to the Xiliang Army in June to the capture of Chang'an City, the court was in turmoil and fierce on the battlefield, and the situation changed rapidly, which was dazzling, but it only took two months.

After having the Neiying Xiancheng, the Xiliang army entered the city without any resistance. They soon took advantage of the night to attack Chang'an City. Although there were Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers who reacted in the city resisting tenaciously, there were huge disparities. As the sky gradually became clear, the balance of victory in the melee in the city gradually tilted towards the crowded Xiliang army.

It is said that Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were red-eyed that day killed all the way to Weiyang Palace. Wang Yun and others chased the emperor who escaped from the palace. Finally, they trapped the emperor at Xuanping Gate. Wang Yun, who claimed to have the merits of supporting the country, was forced to help the country, and was embarrassed by the warriors of the Western Liang Army and "What's the crime of the Grand Tutor?" and was forced to the city wall. He was pulled off his robe and clothes by the Western Liang soldiers who rushed forward, beat and kicked them, and was taken to prison.

Then, Wang Yun's family followed Wang Hong, Song Yi and others who were summoned to Beijing and were beheaded.

Fortunately, although Li Jue, Guo Si and others were vulgar and cruel to Wang Yun, they still retained some respect for the Han emperor under the persuasion of Jia Xu, Li Ru and other advised him. The emperor was welcomed back to the palace, and the court officials who stopped resisting the Xiliang army were not killed.

Later, the emperor issued an edict to amnesty the world and change his appearance. The generals and generals of the Xiliang army who became clear to the emperor were also promoted one after another, becoming heroes and good generals to support the country. The Chang'an City, which suffered from the war, returned to the silence of compromise and compromising silence again.

As for the other protagonist of the side who failed this struggle, Wen Hou Lu Bu, after hearing that he had been unable to escape in the city, he took Dong Zhuo's head and hundreds of elite cavalry under him to break out of Chang'an City, went to Shangluo, left Wu Pass, and defected to Yuan Shu in Nanyang.

The Red Tu horse travels thousands of miles a day and is a first-class BMW. Lu Bu is known as a flying general. He is also rushing at lightning while running away. Zhai Hao and others who are trying to chase Lu Bu cannot catch up. They soon lose the whereabouts of Lu Bu and others in the chaos. They can only look at the southeast and sigh with no choice but to sigh.

Li Jue, Guo Si and others conquered Chang'an and controlled the emperor, and naturally became the biggest winners on the surface today.

"Beware of the situation, you really need to be careful, but you still have to go."

Yan Xing said thoughtfully, this time he went to Chang'an, rather than to pay homage to the emperor, it was better to say that it was a distribution of interests within the Xiliang Army that had already won. Just like a group of wolves hunting and prey like elk, they always had to distribute meat among the wolves. How many head wolves should get, how many strong ones should get in the wolves, how many weak ones should get, and how many regulations should be made in the wolves.

Before, the situation changed, Yan Xing could have Gan Ling and others lead their troops and wait for an opportunity to move. Now that the war in Chang'an has settled, the slaughter and money in this temple needs to come forward in person to truly be prepared and gain the greatest political benefits for one's own camp.

Yan Xing had made up his mind, and looked at Zhou Liang, who was still suspicious, smiled heartily, patted Zhou Liang on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"We are not Wang Hong, and Song Yi is a stern scholar. There are Shusheng's troops in Chang'an City, Zuo Fengyi and the northeastern He also have our troops on the side. Although Li and Guo are strong, they are not overwhelming the generals. When you go to Chang'an, you will take advantage of the situation and will definitely fight for a marquis of ten thousand households for you to come back!"

Zhou Liang was infected by Yan Xing's emotions, smiled and quickly congratulated Yan Xing in advance and said:

"The lord is grand and broad, with a strong vision, and will definitely be able to be appointed as a general and show his ambitions."

After hearing Zhou Liang's congratulations, Yan Xing curled the corner of his mouth and showed a smile. He dared to call him to Chang'an, so he was naturally prepared for him. However, for Yan Xing's appointment as a general, it was just icing on the cake. Using this journey to include the foundation of Hedong in his name is the most important purpose of Yan Xing's trip.

Of course, if it is possible, Yan Xing was also full of interest in Zuo Fengyi's Hexi land, and he did not mind at all taking the opportunity to take it into his pocket when the generals and officers of the Western Liang Army were competing for power and profit.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing looked up at the distant sky.

When he was fighting against Bai Bo in Hedong, he had a brief intersection with Li Jue, Guo Si and others. When he first met Li Jue and Guo Si, he looked at the person and the matter, but he only gave him a feeling of a general in the army and had no impression of it. Now that the two control the Chang'an court and the emperor, their power is naturally incomparable.

But what Yan Xing fears most now is not the fiercely expanding strength of the two, but the strategists such as Jia Xu and Li Ru around them. Yan Xing thought that those strategies to control the court and stabilize Guanzhong must be the hands of these people. When they rushed to Chang'an, there was no need for temple fighting and storm. The role these strategists could play in it was no less than the elite soldiers and generals in the hands of the two.

"Okay, Yuan Shan also went to Chang'an with me this time to entertain the envoys from the court. Although the court is not strong now, we still have to give this face to the court. Don't be punished with an outsider for disobeying his ministers."

"promise!"

Zhou Liang received the order, bowed, and turned around and left the yard. Yan Xing took a breath of air, waved the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, and turned around and returned to the room.

···

Chang'an, Shi Sun Rui's Mansion.

Since the fall of Chang'an, Shi Sun Rui, who seemed to have suddenly aged, sat in the secret room, looked at Ma Yu, Du Bing, Yang Qi and others beside him, sighed quietly, and said helplessly:

"Didn't Xun Gongda come?"

"The servants in Gongda's family came to report that Gongda was sick and was about to report his illness and asked for his return."

Yang Qi, who was sitting at the lower head, glanced at Shi Sun Rui and replied respectfully.

Shi Sun Rui sighed again when he heard this, shook his head and said nothing.

Although Li Jue, Guo Si and others conquered Chang'an City, they only focused on the liquidation of civil and military officials from Bingzhou, such as Wang Yun and Lu Bu, did not implicate too much in other court officials, and because Shi Sun Rui had given Wang Yun a few honors after he killed Dong, and was a famous family in Guanzhong, he was not persecuted by the Western Liang army. However, in this situation, how could the living be said to be lucky than those who died?

When the Western Liang army invaded Chang'an, they fought with Lu Bu's troops in the city. During the chaos, the Western Liang soldiers killed Taipu Lu Kui, Dahonglu Zhou Huan, the city gate captain Cui Lie, the Yueqi captain Wang Qi and other court officials, as well as more than 10,000 innocent officials and civilians. The corpses on the streets in Chang'an were covered with messy roads, and the blood of the dead soldiers flowed along the streets into the trenches, gathering into a river of blood.

Among the large number of court officials involved in the execution of Dong at that time, Wu Fu, Wang Yun and Huang Wan died, He Yong committed suicide, Zheng Tai fled, Yang Zan was dismissed from office, and Xun You, who was now dying, thought about it, there was only one Shi Sun Rui left.

Thinking of this, how could Sun Rui, who was worried about the situation, not sigh?

"Why should the Scholars Gong do this? Although the current situation has become so decayed, our descendants are so grateful to the country, so how dare we be slacking off and depressed. We must work together to support the country, relieve our worries, and save all people from the fire and water."

Ma Yu sighed at Shi Sun Rui, who was a leader of many court officials. Although he was a young man, he had a lot of ambition in his heart. He immediately stood up and spoke out loudly to comfort Shi Sun Rui.

Shi Sun Rui looked at Ma Yu after hearing the sound. He said that all the court officials who had conspired to kill Dong were already exhausted. Although the old ministers in the court were still in charge of the court, every move would affect the sensitive nerves of the Xiliang soldiers. Therefore, during this secret meeting, he could only summon the younger generation in the court such as Ma Yu, Du Bing, and Yang Qi.

The Ma family, Du family, Yang family and Shisun family are all famous officials and clans in Guanzhong, while Ma Yu served as the Shizhong. Although after Li Jue, Guo Si and others captured Chang'an, they had many favors to Guanzhong's famous families and surnames in order to win people's hearts, the leading talents in Guanzhong regarded Li, Guo and others as enemies of the Western Liang army, who had no king or father, on the surface, and surrendered to Li, Guo and others, but they had been planning to eliminate Li, Guo and others in the field.

Ma Yu has been famous since childhood and has a lot of talents. Shi Sun Rui did not underestimate him because of his youth, so he immediately asked him:

"Since you say that you can support the country, what will happen?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Sun, knows that Cui Zhu was in the time of Jiang Qi and Qing Feng."

Hearing Ma Yu's reminder, Shi Sun Rui pondered for a while. He read the book extensively and had a wide range of knowledge. Soon he thought of what Ma Yu said about Cui Zhu, Qingfeng, the noble clan of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Both of them had killed the emperor, supported the new king, and even dominated the government and the affairs of Qi State. In the end, he died and died. This was somewhat similar to Dong Zhuo's behavior. But I don't know what Ma Yu mentioned this and what Li Jue, Guo Si and others are now related to Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Ma Yu saw that Shi Sun Rui had not completely guessed his meaning. He curled up the corner of his mouth proudly and said softly:

"Cui Zhu's defeat was taken advantage of by Qingfeng, and Qingfeng's defeat was taken advantage of by the king. The two surnames were powerful and killed by Qi, and they had a deep foundation. Why did they die every night and die? I think that the root cause is internal turmoil and external troubles. Cui Zhu had the power to divide his sons' internal turmoil, and Qingfeng had Tian family, Bao family, Luan family, and Gao family were there, so their power could not last long, and the country of Qi was able to support it."

Ma Yu didn't say much, but when he heard Shi Sun Rui's ears, he felt as if he was thunderous.

After Qingshe, the son of Qingfeng, was assassinated by King He, the Qingshou's power in Qi quickly collapsed. After Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Lu Bu, the Western Liang army was able to make a comeback and conquer Chang'an, and once again controlled the court with bloody means.

The key point is that at that time, there were external forces such as the Tian family, Bao family, Luan family, Gao family, etc., but Wang Yun had only Lu Bu's troops to rely on him to help. Once Lu Bu was defeated, they could only give him the head and no longer have the power to fight back.

The profound meaning of Ma Yu's words, that is, in the current situation, if you want to eradicate Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and support the country, you must incite the civil strife of the Western Liang army, and also seek strong and powerful foreign aid.

Shi Sun Rui thought about this and intersected Ma Yu's eyes with his bright eyes.

"Where are civil strife coming from, and where are foreign aid coming from?"

Du Bing, Yang Qi and others also looked at Ma Yu and waited for his next sentence.

"Li Guo and others are all people who rely on their strength to bully the weak and greedy for fame and fortune. They are now coming with the crowd. Over time, people will inevitably be uneven and will be in chaos in their pursuit of profit and life. Are foreign players?"

After pausing for a moment, Ma Yu looked at everyone's faces before he started to speak again.

"Liu Yizhou father and son, Zhu Gong, who was stationed in Henan Yin, Ma Teng, and Yan Yan, who was the left Fengyi, can all be foreign aids in Chang'an!"

Sure enough, if you don’t say anything, you will be shocked by the crowd.

After hearing this, Shi Sun Rui's eyelids pounded violently. Liu Yan was a governor of Yizhou and a relative of the Han Dynasty. In addition, Bashu was rich, and the Shu soldiers were also quite fierce. Zhu Jun was also a famous general of this dynasty. If possible, it would be a good thing for the two to be foreign aid. But for the remaining two, Ma Teng was the leader of the rebel army in Liangzhou, and Yan Yan was a member of the Western Liang army. How could these two men serve as support?

"Mr. Ma still needs to be cautious about this!"

Yang Qi spoke first and looked at Ma Yu and said. Ma Yu didn't care. He shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Today's momentum, soldiers and generals are domineering and domineering the emperor. The country is in danger of being overwhelmed. If this dangerous strategy is not implemented, how can we eradicate the evildoers and support the country? Should you follow the example of Wu Deyu and assassinate Li Li with your body, and Guo and others will not succeed?"

When the people in the secret room heard Ma Yu's words, they were stunned. As if Wu Fu's words, they were already verified that it would not work. Even if they were really as brave as Lu Bu, they could assassinate Li Jue, Guo Si and others. However, if they did not strongly suppress the troops in the hands of the Xiliang generals, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Xiliang army would be besieged Chang'an and forced the emperor to be forced to be a palace emperor again. By that time, they would become the declining criminals of the Han Dynasty.

After being silent in the room for a long time, Du Bing saw Shi Sun Rui silently. He reacted in advance and asked Ma Yu in advance.

"But if you want to connect foreign aid and support the country, how should you act?"

Ma Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He looked at Shi Sun Rui first and found that although the old minister who participated in the execution of Dong was silent, he had no intention of objection, he flipped his palms and spoke leisurely.
