Chapter 724 Chang''an Rebellion (Part 2)


    Chapter 722: Chang''an Rebellion (Part 2)


    Chang''an, General''s Mansion.


    Although He Jin, a big fool, did a series of stupid things, he himself did not think so.


    Dong Zhuo occupied more than 300,000 troops from the two states and surrounded Guanzhong from three directions. But wasn’t he still blocked outside the pass?


    So what if the Qin family occupied a state with more than 200,000 troops? He still can''t enter Beijing without nodding.


    He Jin thought these were all his contributions, and he even thought that he could block the two first and second princes of the Han Dynasty by his own strength, so he was extremely proud at this time.


    However, He Jin''s pride is destined to not be able to last for a long time, because soon his dream is about to wake up.


    "Report to the general, Dong Zhuo responded to the call of Empress Dowager Dong, and under the banner of the Qing dynasty following the will of the late emperor, he personally led 100,000 troops from Liangzhou to kill him."


    "What?"


    He Jin stood up in shock. He thought that under the threat of various princes, Dong Zhuo should not dare to start the war lightly, but he finally fought.


    "How dare Dong Zhuo?" He Jin shouted in furiously and horrified. From beginning to end, he was probably the only one who thought Dong Zhuo would not dare to march.


    Wang Yun and other ministers were speechless when they saw this. As long as Dong Zhuo took over his territory in Guanzhong, they could be connected together. What''s more, Dong Zhuo is now famous for his army under the banner of the empress dowager, so how could he give up the march just because of Qin Wen and other princes sinking their troops?


    The ministers in the court have advised He Jin, but the key is that He Jin can''t listen at all, and they don''t know where his confusing confidence comes from.


    "This dead old woman should have..."


    He Jin said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of murderous intent, but he still didn''t say that sentence after all.


    "General, it is urgent to send troops to resist quickly, otherwise Dong Zhuo''s army will really attack Chang''an." Wang Yun said with a serious expression.


    He Jin seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly ordered: "Yes, yes, yes, order Houyi to lead 40,000 troops to defend the enemy. Be sure to block Dong Zhuo for me."


    Although Dong Zhuo''s troops in Sizhou and Hanzhong were dragged down by the princes, the court also had to divide some of the troops to be vigilant in these two directions. In addition, He Jin was also increasing the garrison in Wuguan, so the imperial court did not actually have much extra troops.


    Once Houyi''s 40,000 army was released, there were only 40,000 defenders left in Chang''an. If Houyi was defeated, He Jin''s only hope would be Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song.


    Dong Zhuo made full preparations for this entry into Beijing. Not only did he have 30,000 cavalry in the 100,000 Liangzhou army, but he also transferred back all the powerful generals such as Wu Yunzhao from Yuwen Chengdu. In addition, Li Yuanba, who had been guarding by his side, the lineup under Dong Zhuo is now extremely luxurious, and no princes except Qin Hao can resist it.


    Houyi is now the only good general in Chang''an. He Jin is no longer available except Houyi, and Houyi has indeed failed He Jin''s expectations.


    Houyi knew that he was not Li Yuanba Yuwen Cheng, the opponent of Du, but relying on his archery skills, Li Yuanba and Yuwen Cheng were unable to participate in the siege in person, and then relying on the advantage of the geographical location, he temporarily blocked Dong Zhuo''s 100,000 troops.


    "Hmph, this Houyi is so ungrateful and he misses the good intentions of the family again and again..."


    Dong Zhuo cursed angrily, not that he could not take Houyi, but he just didn''t want the soldiers to sacrifice themselves. After all, the total population of Liangzhou is not as good as that of the Central Plains.


    In Dong Zhuo''s opinion, it is more than enough to deal with a 100,000 army of He Jin, not to mention that he has a backup plan in Chang''an, so there is no need to make too much sacrifice for Houyi.


    "The lord doesn''t have to be angry with Houyi. After the lord starts the backup plan for Chang''an, let alone Houyi, even He Jin is just a grasshopper in the autumn, and he can''t jump for long." Lu Buwei said with a sneer.


    Jia Xu and Li Ru both looked at Lu Buwei with a serious expression, knowing that this young man was a member of the miscellaneous family and was also the general planner of "using the emperor to command the princes."


    At the same time, they also learned that Dong Zhuo is also a member of the miscellaneous family. After all, Dong Zhuo has even become a "miscellaneous family" and has no longer covered up his claim. Dong Zhuo did not choose to attack, which made He Jin from Chang''an breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he dragged it to Jingzhou Dingyuan and Jizhou Huangfu Song, he would definitely win this battle.


    But what He Jin did not expect was that such a situation was destroyed by the death of a person.


    "Report to the General, Empress Dowager Dong...she..."


    "What''s wrong with that old woman?" He Jin asked impatiently.


    He Jin was so annoyed by Empress Dowager Dong, but there was no way, so he simply imprisoned him and was not upset if he was out of sight.


    "Empress Dowager Dong was assassinated."


    "What? The Queen Mother is in the harem, who can have this ability?"


    He Jin frowned, but he had a vague premonition in his heart.


    "Have the murderer found out? Who sent the person?"


    "Not yet, but there are rumors outside now that it is General you who assassinated Queen Mother Dong."


    He Jin couldn''t help but take a breath. He finally knew the other party''s sinister intentions. He wanted to press the blame for the assassination of the Empress Dowager on his head so that Chang''an would be in chaos.


    What place is safest than the palace? But Empress Dowager Dong was still killed by assassination in the harem. Apart from the operation of internal people, there seems to be no second explanation, and the only one who is most suspicious is He Jin.


    "Dong Zhuo, you are so cruel." He Jin gritted his teeth.


    At the same time, there is another scene in Dong Zhuo''s camp.


    "Hahaha, that guy He Jin must be scolding the miscellaneous people at this time." Dong Zhuo smiled and held his whisper.


    "But no matter how he scolds, he can''t change anything. Now He Jin just jumped into the Yellow River and couldn''t wash it clearly." Lu Buwei said with a faint smile.


    Jia Xu on the other side felt goose bumps on his arms. Everyone said that he was a "poisonous man", but this young man was not inferior to him at all. He even dared to assassinate the queen mother to achieve his goal. He was so brave.


    "Lord, He Jin is just a talentless and virtuous Puffer. At this time, he should be on the verge of collapse. As long as the lord is adding some force, his subordinates promise that He Jin will surrender without fighting." Lu Buwei said confidently.


    Jia Xu felt a little nervous. After thinking for a while, he probably guessed that Lu Buwei''s intention was to force He Jin to surrender. With He Jin''s temperament of trying to escape when encountering difficulties, there is indeed a great possibility of success.


    Today, Chang''an is in chaos because of the death of Empress Dowager Dong.


    The court officials were divided into two factions, one accusing He Jin and the other defending He Jin.


    Of course, He Jin didn''t want to be blamed for this, but he couldn''t explain it clearly, so he simply didn''t explain it.
