In the suburbs of Chang'an City, Dong Huang, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Duan Wei, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, Li Su and other important generals under Dong Zhuo led the central army to Chang'an.

As soon as the central army arrived, the overall strength of the Xiliang army was concentrated near Chang'an.

The 160,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-70,000-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700-700

The troops of Xiliang arrived, and the three armies began to build armies in the suburbs, collect food and pay, consolidate the army and deploy military forces, and prepare to attack Chang'an again.

The Xiliang soldiers sent scouts to the inner city of Chang'an to investigate the situation in the city every day. The news they received was that the city's defense was not only not relaxed, but was more stringent.

Looking from afar, above the city, not only were Chen Guojun and Jingzhou army arranged defensive matters, but even the people in the city began to help them carry stones, bricks and tiles and other weapons to defend the city.

Huang Zhong was experienced as an experienced master. He knew very well that after blocking the twelve gates, the remaining key was to defend the city.

Although there is a strong crossbow formation at the top of the city, if the Xiliang Army is really close to the city, it will still need stones and wood as defensive equipment to ensure that everything is safe.

So he ordered the soldiers to dismantle some of the palaces and houses in the palace and move them to the city for defense.

If the court officials in Chang'an were here, they would definitely not allow Huang Zhong to do such a rude way.

Unfortunately, the important officials and family members of the court had already run out of the city with the emperor and Wang Yun in the previous period.

Even if they had never been killed by the Xiliang soldiers, they would definitely not dare to return to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo felt quite frustrated when he learned that Huang Zhong had made Chang'an City solid.

Recently, when his Xiliang soldiers searched nearby, they found some court officials and their families who had escaped from the city and jumped into the river to be rescued.

When the Xiliang soldiers slaughtered Wang Yun and his group, some of the court officials died in the chaos and some died in the river, but many people jumped into the water and were washed downstream and survived by chance.

It’s just that they can’t gather into a team of large numbers anymore.

After escaping by chance, they ran around like a group of mice, frightened and ran around like headless flies.

But the Xiliang Army had the final say in the Jingzhao land. During the period when Chang'an was not continued, the Xiliang Army began to search in Guanzhong and captured a large number of court officials and families who wanted to escape.

According to the list provided by Li Ru, as long as they had a conspiracy with Wang Yun, all the Western Liang army would behead them on the spot, and those who had no conspiracy would be forcibly kidnapped back.

After all, although Dong Zhuo wanted to eliminate those in the court who opposed the murder of him, he could not kill all the scholars and ministers, because he needed a basic imperial structure as his capital for his political operation, and he also needed these people as his puppets to continue to help him take charge of this riddled country.

If Chang'an City cannot be defeated, then don't rush to fight... Surround the inner city first so that no one in the city can escape. Dong Zhuo doesn't believe they can stay in the city for the rest of their lives.

Even if they can stay, in a city without arable land, there is not enough food and grass for them to support them... Even if they are full of food and grass, they will sooner or later have the day when the food and grass are used up.

What's more, there are also wealthy people and Guizhou people in the inner city.

Just after Dong Zhuo made up this idea, Xu Rong and Li Jue led the defeated general to him.

In the commander's tent, the two knelt on the ground, telling Dong Zhuo with a depressed look on his face that they were defeated by Liu Qi in Mianji.

As the two of them described it, Dong Zhuo's face became paler and paler, and his huge body began to tremble unconsciously.

"There are losses invasion of soldiers and generals... Even my brother is trapped in the hands of Liu Qi's son. What's the point of asking you two?"

Dong Zhuo slapped the table in anger and roared: "Left and right, push the two of them down and behead them!"

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Jue's eyes flashed with light and his hands slowly moved down, as if he was tempted to resist.

Li Ru hurriedly stood up and said, "The prime minister, the enemy is facing the enemy, and it will be unfavorable to our army. Instead, the Jingzhou army has gained benefits for nothing. This move is definitely not advisable."

Guo Si also stood up and bowed and said, "Prime Minister, General Fan Zhonglang has just been killed, and our army's morale is depressed. If General Li and General Xu are beheaded in front of the battlefield again, wouldn't our army be without a good general?"

Dong Zhuo naturally understood their words.

It's just for many years that Dong Zhuo has never suffered such a big loss, and he is really angry.

He took a deep breath and sighed, "Let's allow you to make meritorious contributions if you have any more omissions, you will definitely be killed!"

The two hurriedly thanked.

Xu Rong stood up and said, "Prime Minister, the army of Liu Lang of Jingchu went out of Qishan. Now he defeated our army with the crossbow formation. Now he is in Ji County, and with the power of victory, he summoned the powerful Qiang generals of Hanyang and Longxi counties to help. When we returned from defeat, we heard that more than twenty powerful and Qiang generals had responded to him. If this continues, it may pose a threat to our army."

Dong Zhuo hummed indifferently and said, "Those people are just scabies and fences. What kind of climate can they become?"

This is true.

Li Ru stood up and said, "The Prime Minister is right, but it's better to be wary of some things. At present, our attention cannot be fully focused on Chang'an. We should pay close attention to Liu Qi's movements. If we let this guy make trouble, it may become a problem for the elbows."

"What does Wenyou mean?"

"First besiege Chang'an, and do not attack for the time being, then go back to the west and take Liu Boyu first... If Liu Qi is defeated, the defenders in Chang'an City will collapse without fighting!"

Dong Zhuoyan said: "Good."

...

At the same time, the warlords and Qiang generals of Liangzhou who were invited by Liu Qi to join the alliance have gathered in Ji County to form an alliance with Liu Qi.

In addition to the three Qiangma, Baima, Riwobuji and Meisi who came to meet Liu Qi in person, there are also many powerful candidates including Hanyang County and Longxi County, Li Kan, Xu Chun, Cheng Yin, Yang Feng, etc.

These people either came in person or sent famous figures from the clan to represent themselves to establish a relationship with Liu Qi.

Liu Qi did not let their soldiers enter the county to avoid disturbing the people.

He established a temporary alliance camp on the east side of Ji County, where he and everyone who came to the alliance were stationed here.

In order to show that he did not treat them poorly, Liu Qi also set up camp with them to live here.

Due to the urgency of time, Liu Qi set the latest time for an alliance, that is, the end of this month.

It is not coming at noon at the end of this month, so it is considered unwilling to join the alliance with it. From then on, Liu Qi regards them as people on Dong Zhuo's side.

There were 27 people from the alliance invited by Liu Qi to write a letter, but twenty-three people came until the last day.

There are still four companies that have not been present.

Among them are two Qiang generals and two local tyrants and powerful warlords in Liangzhou.

Although he knew that the people from these four families would not appear, Liu Qi still respected his promise and it was not over until noon on the end of the month.

On the last day of the alliance deadline, on the morning of the morning, Liu Qi and the leaders of the twenty-three families who came to the alliance set up a table outside the camp, and the meat and wine lords were already arranged.

It was noon that the sun shone directly in the camp. After confirming that the remaining four invited people would not arrive, Liu Qi finally announced the beginning of the alliance.

But before that, he brought Yan Yan and Gan Ning and told them to lead their troops to set off tonight, and to raid the Qiangs and powerful men who did not come here to join the alliance in the shortest time, and bring their heads back.

Liu Qi is not a killer, but some people have to kill them.

At this critical moment, those who are still not invited by their alliance mean that they are undecided, with a sense of two hearts and staying behind are hidden dangers.

Or they want to remain neutral, but at this critical moment, the twenty-four families present may not be the ones who follow them to challenge Dong, and they may become fences halfway.

Since that's the case, let's use the heads of the leaders of the four families to alert them.

It was already past noon and the time for the alliance finally came.

Liu Qi picked up the wine, stood up, and began to talk to everyone in a long and erotic manner.

The content is very simple, that is, Dong Zhuo cholera exceeds the rules and poisons the world, and loyal and righteous people should be attacked. Now he arrived in Liangzhou in the name of the alliance to protect the king. On behalf of the emperor, he invited everyone to join the alliance, attacked Dong Zhuo together, and supported the Han Dynasty.

Then, it was the blood alliance.

Liu Qi ordered someone to come over with a dagger, and he wanted to cut the flesh and bleed...

But a guard hurried to the scene and said to Liu Qi: "The Lord of the Mansion, Han Sui and Ma Teng of Jincheng County, sent his lieutenant Yan Xing and Ma Chao to join the alliance on behalf of him. He is now waiting for the Lord of the Mansion to summon him!"
