Chapter 167: Chaos Guanzhong
The level of chaos in Guanzhong is unimaginable.
For military pay, the Chang'an court has long been dead in name only, and their salary has long been cut off. Originally, last year, the court still had some care of the counties and counties in Guanzhong.
It is said that after the emperor killed Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si were not as powerful as Dong Zhuo, so the officials and ministers could barely compete with them in terms of governance.
But after Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated by Guo Si and Fan Chou last year, Guanzhong had no peace again.
The soldiers who fled during the war first hid in the mountains. After both Guo Si and Ma Teng retreated, they emerged again. Such bandits were even more cruel than real bandits. As long as they wanted to rob, they would not let go easily.
So in the following year, Guanzhong continued to have powerful people, villages and families were destroyed, and Li Jue, Guo Si and others only focused on fighting for power and profit in Chang'an City. They didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people in local counties and towns. Later, when there was not enough food, the Xiliang army, which claimed to be the court army, also began to loot Guanzhong.
In the end, even the food that the emperor prepared to use to provide relief to the victims was stolen by Li Jue and Guo Si.
When the emperor issued an edict to provide relief to the victims, the people of Guanzhong were looking forward to it, hoping that the emperor would lead everyone out of the famine.
But in the end, it could not resist the chaos of war.
The food for relief was kidnapped by the Xiliang army, and the emperor's majesty in front of the Xiliang army no longer existed. The remaining face between the imperial court and the reckless men of Xiliang were completely torn apart.
There was a turmoil in Chang'an City, and no one knew how the emperor would eventually punish these unforgivable Xiliang bandits.
But what we can know is that Guanzhong will be a desolate place that no one cares about in the next few years. Youyou sighed, and the Zhonghou, who was guarding the Guanlou, was quite helpless. Originally, he was unwilling to leave his hometown, so he wanted to make a living by guarding Guanzhong to find a job.
But after all, God will not pity any helpless person. He may eventually leave his hometown and die in a foreign land.
He turned his head and looked at dozens of companions behind him who were also listless with long spears. Zhonghou felt a little sad. "I heard that the adults in Chang'an City followed the emperor to the east, and no one would care about the west in the future."
"Oh! When the ministers and nobles were there, they could still find someone in the counties and counties, but now they may not even see their own figures." He also sighed. Deputy Junhou was his old partner. "I don't know how long it will take to wait for Guanzhong to restore the order in the past!"
Then, everyone complained with each other. A little leaned forward, and suddenly a young garrison pointed to the downstairs in the distance and shouted, "Look, there are flags, it seems that there are troops entering the pass!"
"What are you doing?" He raised his hand and slapped the garrison soldiers. The old Zhonghou murmured and cursed, "At this time, Guanzhong cannot even find the official army, and he will return it to the army!"
But when he was only halfway through his words, he was stunned. Looking at the more and more flags gathered in the mountain road in the distance, and gradually the smoke and dust of Yangtze, he could finally conclude that it was really a large army that was coming!
"Quick! I will ring the alarm bell and burn the beacon!" Junhou shouted loudly.
"Where are there people in Guanzhong now? Let's just surrender!" Just as he walked a few steps with Changge, the military Hou was told by the deputy military Hou's words, "This army is obviously a well-trained elite soldier. Just by waiting for these dozens of people, it is not enough for others to have a rain of arrows. Don't worry about that, let's take the switch!"
After a long silence, no one in the city gate stood up to refute the deputy army waiter. Finally, a thin young garrison soldier rolled down his Adam's apple dry and asked, "Do they have any food?"
At this moment, all the soldiers on the garrison, including the military guards, seemed to have all their strength poured out. Hunger finally made them give up hopeless resistance.
When the army arrived at the city, the city gate opened creakingly. A middle-aged army waiter with a sallow complexion led less than a hundred people out of the city to greet him and asked the army to enter the pass.
Looking at their appearance, Xu Huang roughly knew the current situation in Guanzhong.
Li Jue and Guo Si fought to join forces and gathered a large number of soldiers under their command. They didn't have enough food to eat, so there was no other food to take care of these guards who were not in Chang'an.
Asked the soldiers to give them some dry food, Xu Huang asked them about the situation in Guanzhong. However, they were also on duty at Baoxie Pass for a long time and were not very clear about the specific happening in Guanzhong. Only Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and other three of the military fought each other, and the Xiliang army was in chaos.
As for where the ministers and emperors in the court are now and what their specific state are, they don’t know.
However, they also confirmed to Xu Huang that no one is under management in Guanzhong now.
After learning about the situation in Guanzhong, Xu Huang couldn't help but sigh. In just one year, Guanzhong was no longer the same as before. When he walked into Baoxie Pass, Xu Huang felt that the Xiliang Army had a strong control over Guanzhong.
Now when I come back, there is the Western Liang army on the pass, all of which are locals in Guanzhong. Those soldiers from Liangzhou who should have run away had already run away, and even if they don’t run away, they were attracted by several partners on the mountain to fight and rob the family together.
"Mr. Gongda, how should we do now?" Xun You, who followed Xu Huang to the city gate, did not speak from beginning to end. Until Xu Huang asked him, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the expression he was talking, then lowered his head and remained silent.
He raised his hand to waved his hand to the military Hou, and immediately came from the general Hou to take him down. After only two people were left in the cabinet, Xun You spoke steadily, "Li Jue and Guo Si are reckless, but Jia Xu, who is also a native of Xiliang, is not reckless. If it were not forcing him, Jia Xu would definitely persuade the two. Since the situation is already like this, it means that Li and Guo are very likely to let the emperor leave on their own initiative."
"Mr. I mean, Li Guo and his wife felt that there was no more profit to hold the emperor in their hands, so they let him go east and split the soil and become king in this Guanzhong?" Xu Huang was a smart man. With a little help from Xun You, he could figure it out.
The reason why Liu Fan sent Xun You and Xu Huang to partner this time was to make him calm and able to see through the mystery of the matter. Obviously, Xun You's insight ability directly saw what Xu Huang didn't expect.
"If Li and Guo want to stay in Guanzhong, it will be a bit difficult for our army to take Guanzhong!" Xun You said that Li and Guo wanted to stay in Guanzhong, and Liu Fan's original plan to clean up the minions in Guanzhong would also increase the difficulty in disguise.

"Dianlue": From the first year of Xingping to the second year of Jian'an, during the four years of age, Xianyang was in a turmoil. Later, the thieves Li Kan and others began to bring their troops into Chang'an, and lived in Zhuo Guwu, and took sour jujubes (甯, cut from the hanging.) to feed them, and took the cloak shape to get the shape of a cloak.
When Xu Huang led his army to Baoxie Pass in Guanzhong, there were not many soldiers on duty.
