Xiliang iron cavalry supervised the battle, and those who took a step back from the death-defying army were all mercilessly beheaded on the spot.

With no way to advance or retreat, the death squads had no choice but to attack desperately, fighting for their own survival.

One batch fell, and another batch rushed in, without giving the defenders in the pass a chance to breathe.

Fortunately, Xu Huang was well-versed in the way of generals, and he dispatched in an orderly manner, so that the death-death army did not break through Jiguan, but after a whole day of defense, the casualties were also heavy.

Facing thousands of casualties, although Xu Huang felt distressed, he still ordered to defend to the death, just to buy time for Liu Xie in Luoyang.

After holding on for more than ten days, Jiguan was finally breached by the Xiliang army, and Xu Huang escaped with only a few hundred cavalry.

After occupying Jiguan, the Xiliang army rested for a day, and then marched to Luoyang in mighty strength.

When the news reached Luoyang, Liu Xie hurriedly summoned all civil and military officials after being shocked.

Of the Luoyang imperial palaces, only the Weiyang Palace was slightly restored, where Liu Xie ate, sat, and discussed matters.

At this time in the court hall, Liu Xie looked anxious, and kept watching the civil and military affairs of the court, hoping that someone would come out and offer a speech.

Dong Cheng had done many meritorious service in the past, and he has become a person highly valued by Liu Xie. Now there is no one to speak out, so Liu Xie had no choice but to ask by name.

"Dong Aiqing, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Upon hearing the question, Dong Cheng stepped forward and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, I still think that I have summoned Cao Cao to help, and I have already controlled the Xiliang army."

Liu Xie said helplessly: "Dong Aiqing, the big man called in foreign aid to cause such a miserable situation. Isn't it enough to reflect on it?"

Dong Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, looking at Cao Cao's deeds, it can be said that he is dedicated to the Han, and he will definitely not be like Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others."

"Ah!" Liu Xie sighed, and said, "Could it be that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have no better way?"

Taiwei Yang Biao came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have a method, which may prevent the powerful minister from being in power."

Liu Xie said with joy on his face: "Yang Aiqing, tell me quickly."

Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, since it is difficult for one person to control, why not call a few more people and let them stop each other. Your Majesty will balance it out, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Xiliang Army."

Hearing this, Yang Feng hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, this method is absolutely impossible. If the princes from all walks of life gather in Luoyang, the power will definitely fall aside."

Zhang Yang, who was a new voter, also came out at this time and said: "Yes, Your Majesty should consider it carefully, so as not to repeat the same mistakes."

Yang Biao shook his head and said: "The recruits from Luoyang alone are not the opponents of the Xiliang Army who have been battle-tested at all. Only by calling in foreign soldiers to help can we solve the current crisis."

Dong Cheng agreed: "Yang Taiwei is right, Your Majesty should make a quick decision."

Yang Feng said angrily: "Dong Cheng, you have repeatedly persuaded His Majesty to call foreign soldiers, do you have a different intention?"

Dong Cheng retorted: "This old man is loyal to the Han Dynasty, the sun and the moon can learn from each other, but you, Yang Feng, obstructed His Majesty everywhere, but wanted to control the power of the court."

"you you……"

Originally upset, and seeing the two sides quarreling constantly, Liu Xie shouted: "Enough! This is above the court, do you still have widows in your eyes!?"

"I dare not!"

"I dare not!"

……

Liu Xie was exhausted by the trouble, and waved helplessly: "Let's stop here today, let's all retire."

"Sir, please retire!"

The minister retreated slowly, Liu Xie slumped on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Should we call in foreign soldiers? If not, can the unrecorded Baibo army in Luoyang be able to stop the elite Xiliang army?

The answer was clear at a glance, but Liu Xie was still hesitant.

Because he was afraid, afraid that this hard-won freedom would leave him again.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, Liu Xie opened his eyes and saw that Wang Yue was within ten meters.

"Men, do you have any new information?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, the Xiliang army is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it may come to the city tomorrow."

"Ugh!"

Liu Xie sighed, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Teacher, how about calling Cao Cao?"

Wang Yue said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have heard about today's court affairs, and I still agree with Yang Taiwei's words in my heart."

"En." Liu Xie lightly tapped the dragon chair with both hands, and said after a long time: "Since that's the case, Master, go and invite Dong Cheng and Yang Biao. Remember to be more secretive."

Wang Yue said: "Yes."

Please come easy, please go hard!

However, if there are many princes, they should be balanced and controlled well, and perhaps they can still take millet out of the fire.

But this method is extremely dangerous. If one person is allowed to hold the power in the end, he may become a puppet again.

Just as Liu Xie was thinking alone, Dong Cheng and his wife had also arrived.

After some kneeling etiquette, Liu Xie couldn't wait to say: "The two love ministers are called here today to discuss whether to call foreign soldiers."

The two were not surprised, because this matter had to be done sooner or later, because there was no choice.

Dong Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, is that calling Cao Cao, or the princes from all walks of life?"

Liu Xiedao: "One side of the princes is easy to be a powerful minister. The widow still chooses Yang Taiwei's strategy. I don't know if the two lovers have opinions."

Yang Biao said: "This method was proposed by the old minister, so let the old minister say a few words. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me."

Chapter 350

I can't wait, Liu Xie still cares about other things, so let Yang Biao talk about it.

Yang Biao moistened his throat and said: "At present, Li Huiyi and Yuan Shao in the north, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Liu Bei in Xuzhou and others are all very powerful at present. If one of them comes, they will definitely defeat the Xiliang army."

"And what His Majesty is worried about is that they will act like Li Jue and others when they come here."

"That's why I think that when the soldiers from all directions arrive, let the princes from all walks of life only lead a few soldiers and horses into the city, and the rest will be stationed outside the city."

"In this way, His Majesty can control Luoyang, and the princes from all walks of life will not dare to act rashly."

"As time goes on, the princes will surely be suspicious of each other. At that time, His Majesty will find an opportunity to slowly nibble away at them, or take them for his own use."
