Yang Ding, the general of Xiliang who stayed at Hulao Pass, was defeated by Lu Bu in the past. At that time, he was captured alive by Xu Huang. He had always had a sense of fear of Lu Bu's Central Army. This time, when Xu Huang led 4,000 troops to attack Hulao Pass, Yang Ding learned that Dong Zhuo was dead and his family was under the control of the Central Army. Yang Ding, who had completely lost confidence in the future of the Xiliang Army, led 20,000 troops to surrender to Xu Huang's 4,000 troops.

The Xiliang generals who stretched east of Luoyang to all counties and counties in Chenliu County saw Yang Ding surrendering to Lu Bu Central Army, and they were desperate to surrender.

Duan Wei, who stayed in Chang'an, was the nephew of Dong Zhuo's mentor Duan Ying. Duan Wei has always been trusted by Dong Zhuo and is one of the five major generals under Dong Zhuo's command. Dong Zhuo handed over his rear Chang'an to Duan Wei to guard. Duan Wei used to display his loyalty to Dong Zhuo, and before, Duan Wei placed his family in Luoyang City. Now Luoyang has fallen and the whole family has been captured by Lu Bu. Duan Wei was anxious.

What made Duan Wei even more imminent was that Huangfu Song, the general of the left ches and cavalry of Liangzhou, led the Wuwei prefect Ma Teng, and the Jincheng prefect Han Sui, formed a 100,000 coalition army to besiege Chang'an City. Lu Bu also sent his general Zhu Ling to lead 10,000 troops to participate in the strategy of Chang'an.

Originally, there were 40,000 people in Chang'an City, and it was more than enough to defend a strong city like Chang'an. Huangfu Song sent out 100,000 people, even if he had 200,000 and 300,000 people, he could not easily conquer Chang'an City, but the current situation was different from the past.

Although Duan Wei repeatedly blocked the news, the agents stationed in Chang'an City in Jia Xu's Military Information Department spread the news everywhere, only one day later. The 40,000 Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City all knew about the news that Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Yan Xing, Wang Yun and others, and the capture of Luoyang City by Lu Bu. The army was in a turmoil and everyone was not willing to fight. Duan Wei was at a loss and how could he resist the siege of a 100,000-strong army of a famous general Huangfu Song in the situation of a great defeat in the situation of a great defeat.

But Duan Wei's deputy Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang had a grudge against Lu Bu for destroying his family, so he firmly disagreed with Duan Wei's surrender to Lu Bu. Because Sima Fang also had some of the army, if Sima Fang firmly disagreed, Duan Wei would not surrender to Lu Bu alone.

He could not beat him, and his surrender was blocked by his deputy. Just when Duan Wei didn't know what to do, one of his old friends sneaked into Chang'an City.

Jia Xu and Jia Wen and Duan Wei analyzed the interests. After Luoyang was captured, the Luoyang court, which was originally composed of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun, collapsed instantly. Now the only righteous court in the world is Liu Bian, supported by Lu Bu, who was supported by Lu Bu's unparalleled Central Army. The Yecheng court can sooner or later defeat all the rebels in the world, causing the Han Dynasty to revive. If Duan Wei is obsessed with it now, he will be a rebel, and he will be a tenant army with a lonely city as a chariot. It will sooner or later end like Zhang Jiao and Dong Zhuo. Not only will he die on the battlefield, the Duan family will be implicated, and it is definitely not what Duan Gong and Duan Ying are willing to see in the nine springs. If Duan Wei is willing to join the Yecheng court, not only will his family be protected, but his official position will also be upgraded. After being reorganized by the Central Army, Duan Wei will still be led by Duan Wei himself.

The thing Jia Xu told Duan Wei was completely Lu Bu's struggle philosophy, "Those who go against me will perish and those who follow me will prosper." If it were in normal times, Duan Wei would sneer at it for eight or nine times, but now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Western Liang army has no leader. Duan Wei has always been incompatible with generals such as Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, who came from the grass-roots, and Duan Wei was unable to support him. Moreover, Lu Bu also drove Yan Xing, who killed his lord Dong Zhuo, out of Luoyang, and escorted Wang Yun, Yang Zan, and Shi Sun Rui to Yecheng and handed him over to Liu Bian. The conditions offered by Lu Bu were also very generous. Duan Wei thought for a while and agreed.

At this moment, in Luoyang City, Ju Su asked Lu Bu in confusion: "Lord, why are you so sure that Jia Wenhe can take Duan Wei to surrender?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Jia Wenhe and Duan Wei are friends in the same county and have a great friendship. Jia Wenhe explained the pros and cons to Duan Wei. Duan Wei is not a fool, so he must know the current affairs and surrender to the city."

The reason why Lu Bu sent Jia Xu to persuade Duan Wei was because he had visited a record of Jia Xu at that time. In history, Li Jue and Guo Si began to fight. Jia Xu went to surrender to Duan Wei because he was a friend of Duan Wei. Jia Xu was the most famous in Liangzhou. Li Jue and Guo Si conquered Chang'an and destroyed Wang Yun. He added to him the supreme reputation and respected the soldiers in Duan Wei's army. Duan Wei was afraid that Jia Xu would seize his military power, but he was very polite to Jia Xu on the surface. After Jia Xu saw it, he was uneasy. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu had secret contacts in Nanyang, so Zhang Xiu sent someone to welcome Jia Xu. When Jia Xu was about to leave,

Someone asked Jia Xu: "Duan Wei treats you so well, why do you want to leave?" Jia Xu: "Duan Wei is suspicious by nature and has the intention to be suspicious of me. Although the treatment is generous, it cannot be relied on. If you stay for a long time, you will definitely be harmed by him. I will be very happy to leave him, and I will also be expected to be good for my family. Zhang Xiu lacks counselors and is willing to get me so that my family and I can be safe." Jia Xu arrived at Zhang Xiu's place, and Zhang Xiu was really happy and led his descendants to greet him. Duan Wei knew that Jia Xu had left, so that he could treat his family well.

Jia Xu was wise and Lu Bu even thought that even if Huangfu Song's 100,000 troops were not intimidated outside the city, Jia Xu only went to Chang'an with the news that Dong Zhuo was dead, and Duan Wei could surrender.

In Chang'an City, Duan Wei's mansion was persuaded by Jia Xu and was about to surrender to Lu Bu. He prepared to open the city gate and let Huangfu Song, Ma Teng and Han Sui's men enter the city, but was stopped by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu pointed to the residence of Sima Fang, the Yin of Jingzhao, and smiled coldly, "General Duan, my lord has a request, hoping that the general can send troops to eliminate the Sima Fang family and destroy the reactionary families in Chang'an City. Only by removing these hidden dangers in Chang'an City can Chang'an City be successfully handed over."

Duan Wei was a little hesitant. After all, Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang flattered and cooperated well with him in the past three years, and felt a bit like a colleague.

Jia Xu saw Duan Wei's hesitation and sneered: "A few days ago, Sima Fang had an affair with Wang Yun, Yang Zan, and Shi Sun Rui in Luoyang City, and wanted to murder the general and seize the military power in Chang'an. If my lord had not admired Naishun Duan, he would not want the Duan family to be destroyed by Sima Fang, and ordered the old general Huangfu to send troops to siege the city in advance. I am afraid that General Duan, you, like Dong Zhuo, would die tragically in the conspiracy of the aristocratic family."

Duan Wei's eyes were full of evil light: "Wenhe, can there be a certificate?"

Jia Xu told Duan Wei in detail the intelligence detected by the Military Intelligence Agency agents stationed in Chang'an City, and handed the captured Sima family dead soldiers to Duan Wei. Duan Wei then believed that Sima Fang, who had been flattering at him, had always had malicious intentions towards him.

Jia Xu sneered again: "General Duan, Sima Fang's son Sima Yi is a wolf Gu Zhixiang. A person with such a look and his family will sooner or later retaliate against his master, and should not be kept by his side."

Duan Wei suddenly remembered the rumor. Dong Zhuo had seen Sima Fang's son Sima Yi look at him and repeatedly wanted to kill Sima Yi. However, Sima Fang begged Wang Yun for many beautiful words in front of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's ears were soft, and he believed Wang Yun's words and let Sima Yi go.

Duan Wei was shocked. He would rather believe in such a thing than trust in it, and Sima and his son should not stay. Besides, this was the condition given to him by Lu Bu. If he wanted to fully comply with Lu Bu, he would have to hand over the letter of fame.

Duan Wei quickly mobilized four thousand elite cavalry and surrounded Sima Fang's mansion. Sima Fang and his six sons were all killed. Only the thirteen-year-old Sima Yi crawled out of the dog hole, pretended to be a beggar, escaped from Chang'an City, and fled straight south.

When Lu Bu learned that Sima Yi had escaped again, he couldn't help but laugh: "Sima Zhongda, can you also have a pig's feet halo? With such an immortal force like you, this world-wide battle for hegemony is really meaningful!"

However, when Li Jue and Guo Si received the news that Dong Zhuo was killed by Yan Xing and Wang Yun, Li Jue and Guo Si were discouraged and wanted to abandon Hangu Pass, disband the troops, and flee in all directions. They didn't even expect to avenge Dong Zhuo. Even Yan Xing's mistress Yang Xiu didn't care about searching out and killing him. Later, he heard that Luoyang was attacked and occupied by Lu Bu. Li Jue and Guo Si wanted to lead troops to surrender to Lu Bu. After all, it was Lu Bu who avenged their lord Dong Zhuo.

Jia Xu is now under Lu Bu's command. According to common sense, no one advises them to raise the flag to fight against Lu Bu. However, Zhang Ji, who stationed troops in Hongnong, died under Lu Bu's halberd because his nephew Zhang Xiu died under Lu Bu's halberd, and because his beloved wife Zou was taken away by Lu Bu, he was irresistible with Lu Bu. He heard that Li Jue and Guo Si wanted to surrender to Lu Bu, so he rode alone to Hangu Pass at night to persuade Li Jue and Guo Si to raise the flag to fight against Lu Bu.

Zhang Ji was different from our first lord, Gao Si, and Lu Bu. Lu Bu attached great importance to the people's voice and military discipline. In their central army, they could not manage the army and could not guarantee that the generals and soldiers under their command had no future. The team with very bad military discipline was that even the generals and soldiers were cleaned up by Lu Bu. Like Wei Xu and Song Xian, who followed Lu Bu for many years, Lu Bu was killed. Li Jue and Guo Si, you two generals, look at the military discipline of your soldiers. You took such soldiers to join Lu Bu's command. With Lu Bu's character of being unable to rub the sand in his eyes, although he temporarily accepted you, once he completely mastered the Sili area, he would attack you.

Zhang Ji advised Li Jue and Guo Si to enter the entry point, just like hitting a snake with seven inches, hitting Li Jue, Guo Si was worried. Li Jue and Guo Si were like Dong Zhuo, who were indulging their soldiers to harm the village to ensure their morale when they were in war. In fact, this kind of morale is a kind of bandit spirit. Li Jue and Guo Si had fought with Lu Bu's Central Army. After a little comparison, they found that the military discipline of the Western Liang army was different from that of Lu Bu's Central Army.

After thinking about it, Li Jue and Guo Si completely cut off their plans to serve Lu Bu, and instead planned to join Zhang Ji and Fan's troops, then attack Luoyang and take down Luoyang City.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou were also preparing to elect Dong Zhuo's son-in-law General Niu Fu as Dong Zhuo's successor, and continued to raise the flag of the Western Liang Army and survived in the hinterland of Sili for a while.
