Chang'an, Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Hall.

The young emperor Liu Xie, who was only fourteen years old, was paced back and forth in the hall anxiously, his eyebrows were full of sophistication and sadness that were not consistent with his age. He was wearing a Yanju suit and swaying his wide sleeves irritably, as if he was trying his best to get rid of his troubles that were entangled.

It has been ten days since the night when the generals in Chang'an City raised their troops to kill Li.

During these ten days, Liu Xie felt sad, happy, fearful, and excited. He was filled with emotions. He barely had a meal during the day and couldn't sleep at night. When he heard any movement outside the hall, he immediately sent his servants to check, for fear that he would miss some important news.

Uncertain gains are enough to make people crazy, while uncertain losses can also cause people to fall into panic.

All this is like the night of the rebellion and punishment of Li, and the situation in the city is in chaos.

Dong Cheng led his troops into the palace, seized the palace, and destroyed the Li Jie clans in the palace. He controlled and protected the emperor and his close ministers, and put them all under his own eyes.

However, when he was urging his troops to attack the arsenal, he was stubbornly resisted by the soldiers Li Jue who were guarding the arsenal.

The guards of the arsenal were fully equipped with elite soldiers and brave. As a key place in the capital, the arsenal itself was a solid city. Dong Cheng attacked the enemy with his troops, but he was repeatedly frustrated and could not capture the forbidden area of ​​the arsenal.

Song Guo, along the way, was killed by the injured Li Ru, who snatched the Grand Sima Mansion, which resulted in a shocking effect. Song Guo wanted to cooperate inside and outside, and his original plan to attack Li Jue was also disrupted.

After Li Jue took charge of the court alone, although he was arrogant and extravagant, he was a general who came out of thousands of troops. He also raised many powerful soldiers in the mansion. Once he became alert and resisted, Song Guo could not easily lead his troops to attack.

Yang Ding's troops were also trapped in a battle when they divided their troops to control the twelve gates of Chang'an City.

The three teams were winning or losing, and the progress was extremely unsmooth, and they were about to turn into a deadlock.

That night, Liu Xie, who was also in the Xuanfu room, was almost anxious and crazy because he had not received any good news for a long time.

Although he was unable to come to command in person, he also knew why the court officials and generals in the army had to launch an incident and send troops after nightfall.

What they like is the environment where communication is not smooth at night, the reality is unclear in a hurry, and the soldiers are difficult to adjust.

But if they cannot kill Li Jue and his gangsters in one go, and until dawn, and make the obscure situation clear again, then all those who are doing things tonight will not escape the disaster of destruction.

Fortunately, Liu Xie was worried and suffered until the time of Yin, and the long-awaited good news finally came from outside the palace.

First, the arsenal was captured by Dong Cheng's troops, then Yang Ding led his troops to kill Li Li and other Li family members who were leading troops in the city. Finally, Song Guo set fire to attack the Grand Sima Mansion. After suffering heavy casualties, he successfully invaded the mansion.

Li Jue, who had been fighting for a long time, knew that the situation in the city was hopeless, so he had to abandon the car and the young and old in the mansion, and the soldiers and horses in the city. Under the desperate escort of the army Wang Chang and others, he snatched out of the Yongmen, which had not been controlled by Yang Ding's troops and horses, and fled westward to the outside of the city.

Yang, Dong, and Song generals took advantage of the situation to use their troops and became more and more brave as they fought. In half a day, they wiped out the remaining enemies who had no leader and fought for their own battles, annexed them, and divided up the surrendered soldiers under Li Jue.

Most of the close servants and court officials also celebrated happily, thinking that the culprit had already been defeated, and then they only need to support the son in charge of power and revitalize the court. Then the three servants were sent to eliminate the evil spirits. Then the land of Guanzhong could be settled in just one day, and the Han Dynasty was also expected to revive the country.

As a result, the facts proved that the court officials overestimated the authority of the Han Dynasty today and underestimated the abilities of Li Jue, Li Ru and others.

In addition to the counties under Jingzhao Yin, they also followed the imperial edicts of the Han emperor and sent to Zuo Fengyi, and the envoys from You Fufeng were successively killed by Li Jie's followers.

At the same time, Li Jue, who fled to Youfufeng overnight, took a breath and then held an emergency military discussion. In order to deal with the current situation, he gathered the defeated soldiers while he ordered Zuo Fengyi and Youfufeng to garrison troops as soon as possible, attacked east and west, and joined forces with him to attack Chang'an City.

Previously, after Li Jue had completely controlled the land of Guanzhong, he sent his brothers Li Ying and Li Heng to Fufeng and Zuo Fengyi to guard Chang'an to assist Chang'an and form the momentum of star urging the moon. He took Li Li and other Li family's nephews to take charge of Chang'an and control the court.

Now the Xiao Jiang disaster is in trouble. First, Qiang and Hu Yi defected, and then the generals in the army rebelled. Li Jue, who was declining, was attacked by the generals and expelled from Chang'an City. However, he was at Fengyi at the left and Fufeng's wings were still there, and he could still make a comeback and fight the generals Yang and Dong who control Chang'an again.

Li Jue had 20,000 troops in the right Fufeng, which was used to defend against Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, and more than 10,000 troops in Fengyi in Zuo, which was used to resist Yan Xing and Duan Wei in Hedong and Hongnong. The situation is now critical, and the two armies are coming out in full swing, and they can also piece together an army of more than 30,000.

On the other hand, the army with combat effectiveness was considered to be under the command of the three generals Yang, Dong and Song, but the total strength was only 30,000, and the troops of each unit were not subordinate to each other, so the military strength was significantly weaker than that of Li Jue's army.

The strength of strength is obvious, and the shadow of the troops facing the city covers the sky above Chang'an City, making the Chang'an court, which the emperor ruled, once again in danger.

The young emperor Liu Xie even secretly regretted that he had called Li Jue a rebel minister too early, and now he was in a difficult position to defeat him. He became an enemy of Li Jue's army and had to fight.

If Li Jue and the emperor and the court officials had conflicts broke out before, and they were constantly using political and military means to attack the emperor and the famous people in Guanzhong, then now that it has reached this point, it will be a situation that will never stop.

However, in the Chang'an court, there were still some outstanding court officials and close servants who were smart and actively planned solutions to fight when they had to fight.

The so-called superior troops attack plan, followed by diplomatic relations, followed by troops, and attacked the city below.

In attacking the troops, because the famous generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in the court had passed away one after another, and the soldiers who could fight were all under the command of the generals such as Yang and Dong, so the Chang'an court urgently recruited troops and expanded their troops to 50,000, and handed them over to Yang and Dong and other generals.

The enemy troops in Youfufeng pose the greatest threat to Chang'an City, so the imperial edict was ordered to lead 30,000 troops and horses, mainly the old soldiers under the command of the two. They gathered west along the Xiliu, and built camps on the Fengshui line to resist Li Jue's advance.

Zuo Fengyi's enemy was secondly from Song Guo, who had been promoted to general, and led 20,000 troops and horses, mainly recruiting new soldiers, leaving the Ba Bridge, erecting the fort to defend against the enemy in the east.

The remaining guards were, under the command of old ministers such as Yang Biao, Sun Rui, and others, to step up the repair of the city walls and moats of Chang'an City, and to improve the city defense and military equipment at the top of Chang'an City to build this last line of defense.

In the fight against the clerks, the Chang'an court sent several batches of envoys, ordering the Pingbei General Yan Xing of Hedong, Duan Wei of Pingdong of Hongnong, Wei Duan of Liangzhou Governor Wei Duan of Yongzhou Governor Handan King of Shang and King of Shang to send troops. Even Han Sui and Ma Tengchu, when the dead horse were regarded as a living horse, the court sent envoys to the court, promising to call them to the west to help Chang'an with high officials.

In the end, when he was in the battle plan, he learned that Zhang Xiu, the general under Zuo Fengyi and Li Heng, was originally the nephew of Zhang Ji, the general of Zhendong, and Li Jue used Zuo Fengyi's place to rebel and cut off Guo Si's way to cross the river, but when he finally realized it, there was only the land of Xihe, so he was dissatisfied.

Therefore, the Chang'an court decided to send the minister Liu Ai and others to secretly go to Zhang Xiu's camp, and use the emperor's secret edict to promise that he would inherit Zhang Ji's title and title of General Zhendong and the place where he commanded Zuo Fengyi to lure him to rise up, and to cooperate inside and outside to attack and kill Li Heng, Li Xian and others who were leading the army.

Liu Xie had no idea when the majesty of his emperor had disappeared, and the Han Dynasty had also fallen to the point where he wanted the chief officials of the prefectures and counties to send troops to help the king, or to rebel generals to raise trouble, he had to exchange high-ranking officials and titles and land in the capital.

But even though he endured the humiliation in his heart and tried hard to finish these things, Liu Xie was still in endless panic now.

In order to avoid letting the ministers see their embarrassment, Liu Xie had all sent out of the hall by Liu Xie. However, when he was alone in the Xuanshi Hall, Liu Xie would still be so nervous about the current situation of gains and losses.

Whenever I feel like I can't control my heart, the young Liu Xie always has to come to the map in the hall and look carefully. The above is the map of Sanfu's military deployment. Although he cannot check for omissions, he will at least be able to feel at ease whenever he sees two lines of defense above.

"I hope that the spirits of the late emperors in the sky can protect the royal army from expelling the evil spirits and revive our Han family and country!"

For some reason, this time, looking at the military arrangements on the map, Liu Xie felt a palpitation for no reason, and a tender heart kept beating, as if he was about to break free from the constraints of his chest and jump out of it.

Liu Xie was nervous and uneasy, so he could only close his eyes and pray to the heaven and the late emperors of all generations, begging for the protection of the Han court he was in charge, so that he could support this crisis.

"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory for the King's Army!"

There was a burst of noise outside the hall. The footsteps of the Shizhong Zhong Ji, who was so excited that he ignored the etiquette in the province, were still making rapid sounds outside the hall, but the excitement of the sound had passed through the hall gate and came into Liu Xie's ears who were praying secretly.

"ah!"

Liu Xie, who was just closing his eyes to pray, was shocked by the chaos and subconsciously shouted.

After he heard the important message from the message, he was so happy that he ran towards the palace gate with a smile. He was halfway through his mind and thought of something, he hurriedly stopped his body, tidied up his robes in a hurry, and then tightened his face, trying to pretend to be as mature as possible.

But in the face of joy, the precocious and mature Liu Xie became clumsy and unconsciously. The tense face and eyebrows were filled with the joy of a boy. After he tried it in vain, he simply stomped his feet, regardless of the moment, and continued to run towards the palace gate.
