In just a few months, Li Jue and Guo Si made conquests for several months in Chang'an, Guanzhong, where Sili was located.

From the beginning, the two became friends and guarded Chang'an together, but later turned into enemies. In the end, the benefits were not worth it.

No one can refuse that kind of right that is subordinate to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Starting from Dong Zhuo, then to Li Jue, the remaining Guo Si naturally couldn't sit still.

The two compete with each other and win or lose.

After the previous locust plague in Chang'an, coupled with the war between the two, it will be difficult for Chang'an to recover for a period of time.

As for Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

What they value is only their immediate interests. Chang'an's life and death has nothing to do with them.

And Xiandi Liu Xie, caught between the two, is the most painful.

He is obviously the most powerful person in the world, but he is like a puppet, being manipulated by others!

Liu Xie felt aggrieved, but he could only tolerate it.

Even though he knew that the envoy he sent was hung outside the east gate, Liu Xie did not dare to lose his temper in front of Li Jue.

It seems hard to sleep well this night in Beiwu.

Until early June!

Zhang Ji led troops from Shaanxi County to Chang'an and personally began to negotiate an agreement between Li Jue and Guo Si.

The originally tense atmosphere began to change a little.

At that time, Li and Guo met in Zhang Ji's camp.

"Childish, mostly!"

"You and I all followed Grand Master Dong at the beginning, and we felt like brothers at that time!"

"When the Grand Master was killed by Lu Bu's traitors, we were leaderless. At that time, all the princes in the court wanted our lives!"

"If it weren't for our concerted efforts, would we be where we are today?"

"Now that all the princes in the world are watching with eager eyes, if you two are fighting each other again, wouldn't it mean that you are at war with each other?"

"In the end, I'm afraid that both of you will lose. Don't you and I know that during the Warring States Period, the lips were dead and the teeth were cold?"

Zhang Ji looked at Li Jue and Guo Si and couldn't help but offer words of advice.

After these words were finished, all three people in the entire camp remained silent.

The atmosphere seems a bit stagnant.

It seems that following Zhang Ji's advice, both of them recalled the time when they trusted each other.

However, once some gaps appear, they cannot be filled casually.

Li Jue was willing to talk because it was difficult to stay in Chang'an. Similarly, Guo Si had similar thoughts.

This time Zhang Ji persuaded, the two of them looked at each other.

"As long as Yuan Jiang persuades me, the matter will be over!"

After looking at Guo Si, Li Jue was the first to let go.

After hearing this, Guo Si didn't have much opinion: "It's possible to strike out, but how do you plan to treat the emperor?"

"You two, Chang'an is no longer an inhabitable place. Why don't you allow Your Majesty to move on to this trip?"

Seeing that the two had reached a ceasefire, Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and then made some suggestions.

"Your Majesty wants to return eastward!"

The corner of Li Jue's mouth curled up slightly. The emperor wanted to return to Luoyang. Now all the princes in the court have this intention.

It's just that Li Jue didn't want the emperor to go back to Luoyang.

On the one hand, because of Dong Zhuo, Luoyang, which was once prosperous, is now sparsely populated.

The huge Luoyang has become an abandoned city.

On the other hand, returning to Luoyang will somewhat increase the power of the imperial court, which is something Li Jue and others do not want to see.

"It's better to move to Hongnong!"

Li Jue suggested.

This was something Li Jue thought about carefully after learning that the princes in the court wanted to return to Luoyang.

Hongnong is a great place!

On the one hand, it is a warning to the emperor. This is the fiefdom of the former young emperor. On the other hand, compared to the ruined capital of Luoyang, Hongnong is indeed a good place.

"Hongnong?"

"You!"

Guo Bin was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

However, he had no objection to Li Jue's proposal.

Their interests have now been sorted into agreement.

As for where the emperor would move, Guo Si didn't have much idea.

Whether it is Hongnong or returning to Luoyang, there is not much difference for Guo Bin.

After the three people discussed it, the war in Chang'an temporarily stopped.

Knowing this situation, Liu Xie was somewhat excited.

However, just as the idea of ​​returning to the east was revealed, the immediate response he got was that Li Jue planned to let him move to Hongnong!

"Your Majesty still wants to return to Luoyang?"

At that time, Li Jue, Zhang Ji and Guo Si were working together.

Before leaving Chang'an, Liu Xie's thoughts about returning east seemed to be stuck in his mind.

With Liu Xie's extra persistence, all the ministers in the court expressed his intention to return eastward.

Faced with this situation, after Li Jue refused several times, he felt helpless.

"Since he wants to return to Luoyang, let him go back and have a look!"

"Look at that ruined city!"

……

"Da Sima agreed?"

Hearing that Li Jue and others relented, Liu Xie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was only at this moment that he felt like he really was an emperor.

However, for a small intention to return eastward, one has to send envoys more than ten times.

The emperor's power is really fully demonstrated at this moment!

After confirming his return to the east, Liu Xie was only thinking about returning to Luoyang as soon as possible.

It’s just that God doesn’t bring what you want!

In the same month, because Li Jue scolded his subordinate Yang Feng one time, Yang Feng gradually felt a little resentful.

Another deputy general gave the example of Fan Chou and others in front of Yang Feng.

After saying these words, Yang Feng's heart began to waver.

That night, Yang Feng turned to make friends with Guo Si.

Together with the Qiang and Hu soldiers that Li Jue had previously recruited, Liu Xie also received successive rewards for returning eastward.

After these people were satisfied, they left Li Jue's command soon after.

Changes come too fast.

It was so fast that Li Jue was overwhelmed.

Yang Feng defected and his own troops declined continuously. Li Jue was worried that Guo Si would take this opportunity to attack him, so he led his troops to kidnap Liu Xie.

Simply because Zhang Ji is still there, with Zhang Ji between the two, the short-term changes have been temporarily suppressed.

The three of them exchanged their daughters for hostages, which was regarded as a marriage, and then they got back together.

Due to this change, in July, Guo Si, who had greatly increased his power, followed Li Jue and called himself the Han Chariot General.

Immediately, everyone led their troops out of Tunchiyang. In the same month, Liu Xie was grateful for Zhang Ji's meritorious service and named him the General of the Han Dynasty Guard Banner, Yang Ding as the Rear General, Yang Feng as the Xingyi General, and Dong Cheng as the Anji General.

A series of rewards is like making a deal with the emperor.

After the reward was over, the army began to take Liu Xie on their way back east to Luoyang!

……

"What a great commander, what a chariot and cavalry general..."

The changes in Chang'an made Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer.
To be continued...
