Chapter 1097 Yang Jian attacks


    Chapter 1095: Yang Jian attacks


    After Dong Zhuo''s death and Li Yuan''s death in battle, Yang Jian, who supported Dong Zhuo''s coffin, easily entered Chang''an and became the nominal leader of the Liang army.


    Of course, Yang Jian was just the nominal leader of the Liang army. It was not easy for Yang Jian to completely subdue the rebellious Liang army.


    The Liang army was divided into three factions, the Liang clan, the Tang clan and the Sui clan. The three parties controlled each other and maintained balance.


    The Liang system, which is directly under Dong Zhuo, is the strongest among the three systems, but the military power is scattered in the hands of the major Liang generals. Dong Zhuo is still united. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the Liang system has become the most disunited among the three systems.


    The Tang clan was second to the strength, but because Li Yuan died in battle and Li Shimin disappeared, the Tang clan was in a situation where he was headless.


    The Sui faction is the weakest among the three factions. After all, the battle against Dong was started in Sizhou, the base camp of the Sui faction. The Sui faction not only suffered the most losses in this battle, but also completely lost Sizhou, the base camp.


    However, although the overall strength of the Sui clique has been greatly weakened, the situation it faces is unprecedentedly good.


    The fall of Dong Zhuo, Li Yuan died in battle, and Li Shimin disappeared, which made Yang Jian the most prestigious person in the Liang army.


    As Yang Jian took the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo, this also gave him the support of most Liang generals.


    With the support of the Liang and Sui ranks, Yang Jian is the general trend. The Tang Dynasty, which has no leader, and some Liang Dynasty, are unable to stop Yang Jian from taking power. Even some Tang generals surrendered to Yang Jian.


    Yang Jian used various means of promotion and submission to eliminate dissidents bit by bit, and these means of power in Yang Jian have caused many dissatisfaction among the people and the military.


    Gong Dong was just dead, and you, Yang Jian, did not want to avenge your old master, but spent all your thoughts on fighting for power and profit. Is this narrow-minded person really qualified to become the leader of the Liang army?


    There are many people who have this kind of thinking, but Yang Jian is powerful and no one can stop him in Guanxi, so everyone can only dare not speak out.


    Yang Jian actually knows that his reputation has been very poor recently. After all, those who have been deprived of their rights will definitely deliberately discredit his reputation in order to vent their dissatisfaction.


    Yang Jian didn''t care much about this. How these people scolded themselves now and how they would praise themselves after they were fully in power.


    Therefore, Yang Jian not only did not restrain himself, but instead even further suppressed dissidents and even took back the military power of some of the Liang generals who supported them.


    Yang Jian used all his means and finally controlled 70% of the Liang army''s military power. He finally became the real overlord of Kansai.


    Yang Jian probably never thought that it was because of his suppression of dissidents that Lin Chaoying''s dissatisfaction, and Lin Chaoying accidentally saved Li Shimin''s life at Tongfu Inn, and the biggest threat since he took power was finally coming.


    Chang''an, Sui Duke''s Mansion.


    "Husband, Xiaowan''s girl is too stubborn. I''m almost talking, but she just doesn''t want to marry my Guang''er." Dugu Jialuo said helplessly.


    Yang Jian frowned slightly and said lightly: "What''s the reason?"


    In Yang Jian''s heart, his son Yang Guang is a little worse than Qin Hao and Li Shimin, but he is also one of the best young heroes in the world. How many women want to marry into the Yang family and become concubines are not qualified. What reason do you, Dong Xiaowan, don''t want to?


    Dugu Jialuo smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaowan said she just doesn''t like Guang''er."


    "Don''t like it? Just don''t like it?"


    Yang Jian showed a funny expression. In his opinion, Dong Xiaowan was simply too ignorant. If he hadn''t been protecting the Dong family, Dong Zhuo''s enemies would have destroyed the Dong family ten times.


    It’s okay if this girl is not grateful, but she doesn’t even want to find a better one. Do you want to refuse to propose marriage if you don’t like it? Do you think you would spoil her like Dong Zhuo?


    Yang Jian completely forgot that Dong Zhuo actually died at his hands. It was because he killed Dong Zhuo that the elderly, weak, women and children in the Dong family were bullied, and Yang Jian was the culprit.


    If you kill someone’s father, you must use someone’s daughter righteously. In terms of shamelessness, few people may be as good as Yang Jian.


    "Dong Xiaowan''s words don''t count."


    A cold light flashed in Yang Jian''s eyes, and he said coldly: "She must marry Guang''er."


    Seeing this, Dugu Jialuo said hesitantly: "Husband, this is not good. Dong Zhuo just died and bullied her orphan and widowed mother. If this matter spreads, it will definitely make some generals in the army dissatisfied."


    "Then don''t just spread it." Yang Jian''s eyes flashed with a light flash and he said lightly: "I ordered people to surround the Dong family and would not give Dong Xiaowan any chance to contact the general."


    "But Guang''er doesn''t want to marry Xiaowan, he has always regarded Xiaowan as his sister."


    "It''s ridiculous. They are not related by blood, so what''s wrong with kinship?"


    "Can…"


    "Don''t, it''s decided."


    The reason why Yang Jian forced Dong Xiaowan to marry Yang Guang was entirely to obtain Dong Zhuo''s son-in-law''s identity for his son. In this way, he became Dong Zhuo''s in-laws, and it was even more legitimate to take charge of the Liang army, and there was no reason for the Tang clan to criticize him.


    Therefore, no matter whether Dong Xiaowan and Yang Guang are willing or not, Yang Jian will ask Dong Xiaowan to marry Yang Guang, which no one can change.


    "This...well."


    Seeing her husband''s determination, Dugu Jialuo did not dare to persuade him, and then said, "Husband, are you considering your title of queen? Most Liang generals hope that you will inherit the title of "King Liang".


    “This is absolutely impossible.”


    Yang Jian refused decisively and said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo is just my old master, not my father? Why should I inherit his title?"


    Dong Zhuo had too much influence on the Liang army. In order to drive away Dong Zhuo''s influence and completely turn the Liang army into his own Sui army, Yang Jian also tried his best, so it was naturally impossible to inherit the title of "King of Liang". "King of Sui" is the title that Yang Jian should have.


    Yang Jian actually didn''t want to be king so soon, but Dong Zhuo, the leader of the former Liang army, was the king''s title. If he inherited Dong Zhuo''s "leniency", wouldn''t it mean that Yang Jian was not as good as Dong Zhuo? So no matter what, Yang Jian must be king.


    At this moment, an amazing news came.


    "Report to the lord, Hangu Pass was captured by the Qin army."


    "What? How is this possible?"


    Yang Jian looked in disbelief. Although Hangu Pass has not many troops, it is impossible for him to not even be able to hold on to reinforcements? So how did the Qin army break through Hangu Pass?


    Yang Jian had no time to care about this. Now that Hangu Pass has fallen, the east gate of Guanzhong has been lost, and the entire Guanzhong faces the Qin army''s military front.


    Of course, the most important thing is that Yang Lin outside the pass will be completely isolated, and these tens of thousands of troops are all Yang Jian’s confidants.


    Soon, Yang Jian summoned all the generals and began to discuss strategies for how to deal with them.


    Although there is Tongguan after Hangu Pass, Tongguan has never experienced war after all, and no one knows whether Tongguan can take on the important task of the portal. Therefore, the most important thing is to take advantage of the Qin army''s foothold and not firmly regain Hangu Pass.


    "Yang Guang, where is Yang Jian?"


    Yang Guang and Yang Jian stood up at the same time, clasped their fists and said, "The last one is here."


    "Here is the order of Yang Guang as the chief general and Yang Jian as the deputy general. He will lead the army to the battle of 70,000. Be sure to take back Hangu Pass for me."


    "No."


    Yang Guang and Yang Jian both looked excited, but many generals from the Liang clan were a little uneasy.


    The main and deputy generals are both from the Yang family. Do you, Yang Jian, just don’t trust us so much?
