Chapter 89
For the news of Chang'an, Liu He naturally also paid close attention to it. As early as the first time Li Jue and Guo Si started the war, Liu He got the news. At this time, he proposed to send troops to Bashang immediately, but was rejected by Xun You and Guo Jia discouraged.

"The two thieves, Li and Guo, have just started fighting, and the strength between each other has not been consumed much. If we come to Bashang now, they will definitely reconcile immediately and join hands to deal with us. Therefore, we still need to wait a little longer , at least until the situation is roughly finalized. We believe that in a few days, there will be new changes in Chang'an."

Since it was suggested by the two top counselors under his command at the same time, Liu He naturally had to accept it humbly, so he stopped marching, but eagerly waited for news from Chang'an.

A few days later, Liu He heard that Li Jue and Guo Si had kidnapped the emperor and hundreds of officials respectively, and that they were fighting each other in Chang'an, causing bloodshed. He felt that the time had come, so he summoned Guo Jia overnight. , Xun You and other counselors explained the current situation.

After listening to Liu He's news patiently, these counselors immediately proposed to Liu He that the time was ripe to send troops to Bashang, and they should be sent immediately.

Liu He couldn't wait any longer, and immediately ordered the army to dispatch.

In fact, these days, the army under Liu He has already been ready to set off at any time. After receiving Liu He's order, the [-] cavalry led by Li Tong and Wei Yan set off immediately. After arriving, they launched an attack non-stop.

At that time, the defender of Bashang was Li Xian, Li Jue's nephew. Li Xian was also a general of the Xiliang Army, but he didn't realize that Liu He would move so fast, so he waited until Li Tong and Wei Yan's army approached the city. At that time, he was still having fun in the mansion, and the city gate allowed the people to come in and out as usual, and it was not closed at all.

In this case, Wei Yan first rode under the suspension bridge, cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge with his sword, then led his soldiers into the city gate, killed the guards guarding the city gate, and led the army into the city.

It wasn't until this time that the defenders in the city reacted, but because Liu and the army had already entered the city, these defenders had no intention of resisting at all, and fled in all directions. The [-] troops fled nearly [-]% in just half an hour. Those who followed were all sergeants who had no time to escape. Facing the menacing Liu He army, most of them chose to surrender, but the guard Li Xian was shot and killed by Wei Yan who was catching up in the process of fleeing.

The siege battle lasted only an hour before it was over. The enemy general Li Xian was killed, more than a thousand people were captured alive, and the rest were either killed or escaped. For a strong city with such a heavy army stationed there, it is indeed a remarkable record.

And in this process, Wei Yan, who had always been mediocre before, played a very crucial role, which made everyone look at Wei Yan with admiration, and even Li Tong looked at Wei Yan with admiration.

"Hehe, Wen Chang performed so well in the siege battle this time, which is really admirable. When the lord arrives, you will be rewarded."

Li Tong's eyes were full of smiles, but there was no trace of jealousy. In fact, he was fully capable of acting like this. However, as the general of the army, Li Tong always liked to give other people a chance to show off, so it was just a routine. Army combat, and there is nothing too prominent.

But who would have known that giving the soldiers under his command a chance to perform, selecting talents for the country, and coordinating the generals so that there would be no infighting in the army?

After that, Li Tong arranged for Wei Yan to guard the city, but he temporarily became the chief executive of Bashang, issuing notices to calm the people, and adjusting various policies to appease the people, so that the county quickly settled down after a short period of turmoil.

A few days later, Liu He led the army to Bashang slowly. After seeing the battle report sent by Li Tong, he praised all the soldiers who participated in the exhibition bravely, especially Wei Yan who performed well. He ordered to reward Wei Yan with a thousand pieces of gold and a thousand pieces of silk, and to reward the soldiers of the three armies in order to boost morale.

In addition, Liu He personally went to Baling to pay homage to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, saying that as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely wipe out the rebels and stabilize the world, and personally read out the sacrificial inscription written by Wang Can.

Due to the activation of Wang Can's "literature" skill, the soldiers of the whole army were encouraged and their morale was at an all-time high. However, the morale of the soldiers of Xiliang who heard the news dropped a lot.

Immediately afterwards, Liu He began to closely deploy to defend against Li Jue and Guo Si's counterattack. , and he went out in person, led four generals Li Tong, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, and two counselors, Xun You and Guo Jia, and led an army of [-] to rise up immediately, quietly lurking outside Chang'an City, and waited until Li Jue and Guo Si led the army. After breaking out of the city, he took advantage of the emptiness of Chang'an to break through the city.

Of course, in order to ensure a smooth trip, Liu He also sent people to secretly contact the internal agents in the city, and when the time comes, the internal agents will cooperate with the outside world to destroy the city in one fell swoop.

Naturally, Li Jue and Guo Si didn't know about Liu He's secret operations, but they soon heard the news from Jiang Bing that Liu He's army was approaching Ba. When the news came, Li Jue and Guo Si were shocked. Unexpectedly, they knew that with the current situation, if the two sides did not unite, the only thing waiting for them would be destruction.

So Li Jue first sent an envoy to see Guo Si, and said the meaning of the alliance between the two parties.

Guo Bang naturally agreed happily, but after all, the two parties no longer trust each other. In order to win the trust of each other, Guo Bang proposed that the two sides exchange their sons as hostages, and Li Jue agreed.

But what is ironic is that the two soon regretted it. Li Jue's wife loved her son very much and was unwilling to exchange it, and Guo Si's wife was also reluctant to part with her son. In the end, the two parties decided to exchange their daughters as hostages. In this case, the two finally reconciled.

After the two reconciled, the first thing to do was to send troops to deal with Liu He, but after all, the two had scruples in their hearts, and neither of them could rest assured that the other would stay in Chang'an. In the end, the two decided to lead the army to go out at the same time, so the two led the army 5 people set out from Chang'an to attack Bashang, while Yang Feng was left to assist Li Jue's nephew Li Li, nephew Hu Feng and others to lead an army of [-] to guard Chang'an.

"Wen Ze, Zhong Ye, Zi Yang, the defense of Bashang is entrusted to you. I hope you will live up to the entrustment and complete this glorious and arduous task!" Looking at the army of Li Jue and Guo Si who left Chang'an not far away , Liu He said silently.
