Chapter 725 Chang''an Rebellion (End)
Chapter 723: Chang''an chaos (end)
At this time, He Jin finally realized Dong Zhuo''s power, so he couldn''t help but hesitate whether to continue to fight against Dong Zhuo.
In order to make He Jin surrender, Dong Zhuo offered extremely high bargaining chips. Not only was he willing to recognize Liu Bian''s orthodox status, but he was also willing to assist in the government with He Jin. Of course, Dong Zhuo must be the main quota, and He Jin''s status will only be under Dong Zhuo.
After all, the imperial court only has one acre and three-point land, and if He Jin surrenders, he will become the second-in-command of the entire Guanxi. It can be seen that this promise is really sincere.
But the promise is just a promise after all. Although He Jin is stupid, he will not be so stupid that he believes Dong Zhuo''s verbal promise. However, he will never give up his rights easily as a last resort.
Now, although He Jin has not reached the point of no choice, Dong Zhuo''s methods really scared him.
Dong Zhuo was so crazy that even the empress dowager dared to assassinate. What else in this world he dared not do?
If we continue to fight, if we lose in the end, God knows how Dong Zhuo will conquer him?
Besides, even if Dong Zhuo was repelled this time, the situation where the imperial court was surrounded by three sides was still not resolved. What if Dong Zhuo made a comeback?
He Jin was scared, he was really a little scared.
The next day, in order to show goodwill to Dong Zhuo, He Jin ordered Houyi to return to Chang''an. Although he was not ready to surrender, he also had the plan to shake hands with Dong Zhuo and make peace.
After receiving the order, Houyi hesitated repeatedly and refused on the grounds that "the general is away and the military order is unsuccessful." However, his ending was that he was arrested by He Jin and took him back to Chang''an and was directly imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Immediately, He Jin''s brother He Miao led the army to retreat, while Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to lead the army to pursue and defeat the Han army. He Miao was also captured alive by Yuwen Chengdu.
"Dong Zhuo, you are not trustworthy." He Miao roared at Dong Zhuo.
A touch of playfulness flashed in Dong Zhuo''s eyes, and he smiled lightly, "How come the miscellaneous family is not trustworthy?"
"My brother has retreated and is ready to assist His Majesty with you, but why do you still have to lead the army to pursue him?" He Miao asked.
Dong Zhuo couldn''t help but sneer, then sneered: "He Jin''s ambition is really great. The zodiac family has given him a place alone, but he is not satisfied and wants to control the military power. Do you really think I am a mud?"
A hint of panic flashed in He Miao''s eyes and said nervously: "Who knows if you will keep your promise? My brother is just to protect himself."
"snort."
Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and said lightly: "The Za family will not kill you this time. Go back and tell He Jin that you will either hand over the military power to surrender from the city, or wait for the Za family to break through Chang''an and destroy the He family."
Dong Zhuo knew that after this big defeat, He Jin''s inner defense line was on the verge of collapse, so his attitude towards He Jin must be stronger, otherwise He Jin will definitely gain a better position.
"Stop playing those tricks. The patience of the miscellaneous players is limited, get out." Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.
"Okay." He Miao dared to stay more and ran away.
After He Miao was deliberately left by Dong Zhuo, He Jin, who was originally shocked and angry, also learned Dong Zhuo’s original words from He Miao. He thought that Dong Zhuo just couldn’t tolerate him continuing to take charge of military power, so he believed Dong Zhuo’s clumsy nonsense again.
With He Miao''s defeat, only more than 40,000 troops were left in Chang''an. Even if Ding Yuan''s 30,000 Jingzhou troops and Huangfu Song''s 30,000 Jizhou troops arrived, they were just equal to Dong Zhuo''s troops, and the generals were far behind.
He Jin believes that if he continues to fight, he will definitely lose, so he will make a self-comfortable choice to believe in Dong Zhuo. Now the chips in his hands are getting smaller and smaller. If Dong Zhuo fails to surrender after he reaches Chang''an, it will be too late.
The next day, when He Jin announced that he would shake hands with Dong Zhuo and made peace, and was preparing to grant Dong Zhuo the prime minister and assist him in the administration, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
"General, this matter is absolutely impossible. Dong Zhuo is a jackal. Once he enters Beijing, the country will not be a country."
Wang Yun advised him hard, but He Jin turned his hand indifferently. "Dong Zhongying is an important official of the country. He quelled the Qianghu Rebellion that had not been resolved for decades within several months. He has made contributions to the country. Why can''t he assist the government with me?"
Wang Yun could say a lot of reasons, but He Jin was already timid and could not listen to any words for the officials to dissuade him.
"Enough, I have decided, so I don''t have to persuade you."
This scene is so familiar. At that time, all officials advised He Jin to recruit Qin Hao to Beijing. He Jin also said so at that time. Now He Jin is probably very regretful, but he is about to make the same mistake again.
He Jin was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of officials, so he simply threw his clothes and left.
Wang Yun looked at He Jin''s back and sighed, "He Jin is the one who destroys my great man."
After Wang Yun returned to his residence, he immediately wrote a letter to Ding Yuan. When Ding Yuan learned that He Jin was about to surrender to Dong Zhuo, he immediately led the cavalry to Chang''an at full speed.
On the way, Ding Yuan also wrote a thousand-character memorial, explaining to He Jin the disadvantages of recruiting Dong Zhuo to Beijing.
However, after only seeing the first line, He Jin threw it into the stove.
After learning that Ding Yuan strongly opposed Dong Zhuo''s entry into Beijing, He Jin simply refused to open the city gate after his leadership arrived and left Ding Yuan and 30,000 Jingzhou troops outside the city to hang.
He Jin was the one who recruited Ding Yuan, and He Jin was the one who refused to let others enter the city;
He Jin was the one who wanted to fight against Dong Zhuo before, and He Jin was the one who wanted to surrender to Dong Zhuo now;
I, He Jin, do things so without thinking, and it’s so inconsistent. What do you do to me?
In the Jingzhou Army camp, Ding Yuan was constantly cursing He Jin.
"A common man is ruining his country, but why does he make a mistake?"
Looking at the furious Ding Yuan, Lu Bu sighed, "Entertainment Father, what should I do now?"
The Jingzhou army is a guest army, and it does not bring much military ration. If this continues, once the food is out of stock and Dong Zhuo leads the army to arrive, he will collapse without fighting.
After hearing what Lu Bu said, Ding Yuan didn''t think about it and said directly: "I and Dong thief are incompatible."
Ding Yuan was also furious by He Jinfu. His brain could no longer think normally. He just wanted to fight with Dong Zhuo to get rid of this traitor.
Lu Bu was also shocked by Ding Yuan''s courage and advised with a wry smile: "Enjoyed father, after Dong Zhuo surrendered He Miao''s defeated army, he already had more than 100,000 troops in his hand, while we only had 30,000 troops."
Ding Yuan calmed down his anger and said to himself with a headache: "This is a problem."
Just when Ding Yuan was unable to advance or retreat, another major event would occur in Chang''an City.
Somewhere in the corner of the palace, Zhang Rang was wearing black clothes and wearing a facial scarf. He looked at a **** kneeling in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Cao Zhengchun, what''s going on with you now?"
