Outside Yiwu, Dong Lian led Dong Liang, Yan Yun, and Huang Hong to lead their troops in formation. Under the city, large banners were fluttering, and the troops were solemn. Dong Lian looked at Dong Liang, Yan Yun, and Huang Hong, nodded heavily, and then went to Yiwu alone to enter. After the soldiers in Yiwu City reported the news, Dong Lian saw Dong Huang in fine clothes in the hall. Dong Lian bowed and saluted and said: "I have sent all the tens of thousands of soldiers left in Chang'an City to the Prime Minister. Everything is ready outside Yiwu City." You are ready to go." Dong Huang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You have done a good job. In fact, you have already packed all the money and food stored in the dock and loaded them on the carriage." "Come with me to have a look." Dong Huang Walking in front, he took Dong Lian to the school grounds in Xiwu. There were only a few soldiers in the school grounds, about a thousand people. However, there were so many carriages placed in the school grounds that they were all piled up next to each other, making everyone¡¯s eyes dizzy when looking at them. The carriages were all piled with things, either bags of food or boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry. Dong Lian swallowed and was dumbfounded. These boxes containing jewelry were rare. How much does it cost for thousands of people? There is really too much money in Xiwu. In addition to money, there is also countless food on the carriage. It is absolutely impossible for a thousand people to escort so much money and food on their way quickly, even if Dong is included. The more than 10,000 people gathered by Lian could not rush on their way too fast. Moreover, Dong Lian could not let Dong Huang leave Chang'an. After Dong Lian regained his composure, he even wanted to keep this batch of food and money. He would definitely give this batch of money and food to Wang Lei. Dong Lian turned his eyes and said, "Can we evacuate so many supplies from the Prime Minister in a short time?" "We must evacuate" Dong Lian shouted loudly like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Soon Dong Huang shouted again Said: "These money and food are the guarantee for us to establish quickly after we go to Xiliang. No matter what, we must take it with us." "If you think about it, with enough food, we don't have to worry about food problems after we go to Xiliang; with enough food With money and jewelry, we can continue to recruit troops, buy horses, purchase equipment, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army." "Only by taking away food and money can we gain a firm foothold in Xiliang." Dong Huang patted Dong Lian on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lian, your worries and concerns are mine. It is clear that you are worried that you are going too slowly and will be overtaken by the Jizhou Army. But Wang Lei is still in Huayin County. When we leave Chang'an at this time, I believe we have enough time to get rid of the Jizhou Army. Or you can directly tell the soldiers under your command that Wang Lei will lead him. The soldiers will arrive in Chang'an in a short time. You don't need to supervise the soldiers. They will definitely use all their strength to travel day and night." Dong Lian said: "Since the Prime Minister has decided, I will not say more about when the Prime Minister will set off." "Immediately" Dong Lian said Huang waved his hand and a soldier came over. Dong Huang ordered: "Immediately go to the backyard and inform the lady to take her family and go to the city gate." "Promise" When the soldier left Dong Lian, he couldn't help but sigh. "Dong Huang has been here since Since he became the Prime Minister, he has chosen many women. Even the concubines in the emperor's harem have openly possessed Dong Huang. There are so many women. At this critical moment, Dong Huang wants to take all the women away, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of evacuation. Dong Lian There was a look of helplessness on his face, but he was smiling in his heart. "This situation is good. Very good. Very good. The more people there are, the less powerful the confidants around Dong Huang are. The easier it is for Dong Lian to succeed. Dong Huang glanced at Dong Lian and waved his hands: "Let's go. Go to the city gate of Xiwu." Dong Lian nodded and followed Dong Huang silently. At this time, the soldier responsible for escorting the food and money whipped his whip in the air. The sound of the whip like a snake shaking and crackling echoed in the school field. In an instant, the horses in the school field Neighing carried the goods and began to slowly move towards the gate of Xiwu City. The distance from the school field to Xiwu City was only a short five miles. However, it took two hours to drag all the supplies to the city gate. The speed of the journey can be imagined. Knowing that Dong Huang saw his family members walking over in a hurry, he and his wife nodded and then came to the side of a young woman and put her arms around her waist. They talked and laughed for a while. After that, Dong Huang looked at Dong Lian and said, "Dong Lian." We go to the front, the soldiers go to the middle, and the food team goes to the back." "Nuo" Dong Lian came to the front of the army and shouted: "Make way." With the order, the soldiers standing neatly separated from the middle to clear a road. The troops on both sides were neat and orderly. The soldiers were solemn and showed inexplicable majesty. Dong Huang was very satisfied when he saw this, because this way he could show his majesty and status as the prime minister. Dong Huang looked at Dong Lian with admiration and let go of his hand around the woman's waist. Slowly entered the teamDong Lian followed closely with a faint smile on his face. Behind Dong Lian, Dong Huang's wives and concubines slowly followed. However, the guards around Dong Huang did not follow. Ten thousand people stood in two teams, but the official order was not clear. The width made the team stretched so far that it was almost impossible to see the end at a glance. What's more important was that as Dong Lian and Dong Huang went deeper, the open space that Dong Huang walked through was blocked by soldiers again. In this way, the gate of Xiwu belonged to Dong Huang. The soldiers could not see Dong Huang's situation at all. They only knew that Dong Huang and Dong Lian were leaving first. Dong Huang went deeper and deeper and gradually could no longer hear the situation downstairs in Xiowu City. Suddenly, the road in front of Dong Huang was suddenly blocked by soldiers. The road behind Dong Huang has also closed up. A road less than three kilometers long and one foot wide has just accommodated Dong Huang, Dong Lian and Dong Huang's family members. Dong Huang asked: "Dong Lian, what is going on?" Dong Lian smiled slightly and looked very casual. He looked calm and even raised his chin slightly. He lost the respect for Dong Huang before and said lightly: "The Prime Minister insists on leaving, and the Prime Minister also evacuates with a lot of burdens. In this way, all If the brothers cannot survive, they will be killed by Wang Lei, so the brothers thought of a way to survive." After saying this, Dong Huang's face changed slightly, and an incredible look appeared in his eyes. At this moment, he had already thought of a possibility. Dong Lian, whom he trusted the most, had rebelled. People who chose to betray Dong Huang still didn't want to believe it and said with a trembling voice: "Brother Lian, you and I are both members of the Dong family. If the Dong family is ruined, you are also ruined. This is a relationship where both prosper and lose. After I was captured, you also suffered. It is difficult to gain Wang Lei's trust. You must know that even if you choose to surrender, Wang Lei will not be able to trust your brother. Please wake up and don't be deceived by Wang Lei." Dong Lian said: "Prime Minister, I believe in the general." "Clang" Dong Huang did not hesitate at all. Unsheath the sword. However, at the moment when the long sword in Dong Huang's hand was about to be unsheathed, a soldier beside Dong Lian suddenly jumped out and stabbed out a long black iron sword. It silently stopped three inches in front of Dong Huang's chest. As long as Dong Huang The tip of the sword will pierce Dong Huang's chest if he advances a little. Dong Lian said: "Prime Minister, I have made preparations. It is impossible for you to kill me. Put down the sword in your hand, otherwise the tip of the sword will pierce your heart." "You are a traitor." "Thief" Dong Huang yelled angrily, but there were soldiers around him and they were a certain distance away from the city gate. The sound could not penetrate far enough and the soldiers under the city gate couldn't hear it at all. Dong Lian didn't respond and said, "I'll count to three if you don't throw away the long sword." "You must bear the consequences of your sword" "One" "Brother Lian, everything is easy to discuss as long as you don't rebel, I can" "Two" Dong Lian was unmoved and shouted again. Just when Dong Lian opened his mouth to shout a third time, Dong Huang's hand The long sword fell to the ground with a clang. Dong Lian said: "This is a good man. He is a sensible person." He picked up the long sword on the ground and waved his hand and ordered: "Arrest the Prime Minister." The soldiers started quickly. After controlling Dong Huang, Dong Huang's family members were also controlled by Dong Lian's soldiers. Dong Liang's eyes were sharp and he said solemnly: "My lord, just kill Dong Huang and claim credit from the general." As soon as he said this, Dong Huang was furious. He cursed: "Dong Liang gave you food, drink, and unlimited rights. In order to please Wang Lei, you actually want to kill me. Do you have any humanity at all?" Dong Liang said: "I have no humanity when facing you." Yan Yun Said: "I also agree with Dong Liang's opinion, I will kill you first." Dong Huang looked at Dong Lian angrily. No matter what, the final decision rests with Dong Lian. As long as Dong Lian doesn't nod, everything will be easy. Dong Huang smiled slightly and said to please: "Brother Lian, we are a family. If you kill me, it will be useless. It will easily cause Chang'an to fall into turmoil. Spare my life." Dong Lian said, "It's okay to spare your life." Dong Huang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dong Liang and Yan Yun with eyes filled with despair. It's Leng Yi. When he gets a firm foothold under Wang Lei, he will definitely choose revenge. Dong Lian led the people to retreat to Xiwu. He looked at the soldiers at the gate of Xiwu City and said loudly: "General Wang Lei has led his army to kill and no one can stop me. After discussing with the prime minister, he decided to submit to Wang Lei." Dong Lian turned to look at Dong Huang and signaled Dong Huang to speak. People had to lower their heads under the eaves. Dong Huang took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone should go back to their respective places and perform their respective duties. "General, come to Chang'an." This order directly shattered the resistance of Dong Huang's subordinates. At the same time, countless Xiliang troops lost their fighting spirit. In fact, in the eyes of the Xiliang Army soldiers, they believed that this battle could not be won, especially as they had countless supplies on their way. The speed was too slow and it was even more impossible to escape. Dong Lian escorted Dong Huang back to Yiwu and took the opportunity to control Yiwu.?? After doing all this, Dong Lian began to purge Dong Huang's people and Li Ru's people to take control of Chang'an City. On September 12th, Wang Lei led the army to the outside of Chang'an City. Dong Lian personally went out of the city to greet the emperor Liu Xie and the abbot Fu Wanzhong. General Cai Yong and some officials from the court came out to greet him. At this time, Dong Huang was still imprisoned in Xiwu. Without Wang Lei's summons, Dong Huang could only stay in Xiwu.
