Chapter 448: The Officials and the People Surrender

The ragged old man knelt in front of Qin Jin's horse, crying incessantly, Qin Jin only felt that the voice was familiar, and after carefully studying it for a while, he could see the other party's face clearly through the unkempt gray hair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Wei Xianggong, how are you?"

This person is Wei Fangjin, who is the servant of the door, but he was so embarrassed that he was surprised, with the prime minister of the dignified political affairs hall, even if he escaped, he didn't have to dress up so embarrassed.

Qin Jin got off the horse and stretched out his hand to help Wei Fangjin up, after all, this product helped him a lot, and he could be regarded as standing on the side of the Shenwu Army, if he fell into the well at this time, it would be a little unkind.

But seeing where Wei Fangjin still had the bearing of a prime minister, the dust on his face was turned into mud with tears, and he choked up:

"Why did you come at this time...... The old man's house was burned, his wife and children were scattered in the chaos, and he had to change his beggar's clothes before he could get out of the tiger's mouth......"

intermittently talked about his tragic experience, and Wei Fangjin was in tears again.

Qin Jin was awe-inspiring in his heart, he couldn't imagine that even the home of the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall was robbed by the chaotic people, and he could imagine what kind of chaos Chang'an City had become at this time. However, although what happened to Wei Fangjin's family was pitiful, it was not something that Qin Jin was eager to know.

"Old minister's day mourning, what is the situation in the city at this time?"

Wei Fangjin cried for a while before he stopped crying and sighed heavily.

"The rebels robbed the Zuozang Dayumu, robbed the red eyes, and robbed the Xungui mansion, when the old man escaped, I heard that Nannei was also broken into by the rebels....... what happened at this time, it's hard to imagine......

On the way to Chang'an, Qin Jin expected that Chang'an would be in chaos, but he never imagined that it would become so chaotic.

"Didn't the Son of Heaven designate a left-behind minister when he left?"

Qingxuzi on the side asked curiously. Someone suddenly interjected, Wei Fangjin couldn't let go of the prime minister's temper in a short time even when he was in trouble, but he saw that it was a Taoist priest who spoke, and he couldn't help but restrain his anger. Li Tang has always advocated Taoism, since this old Taoist is close to Qin Jin, his status must not be low, and now he has no power in his hands, and has become a lost dog, since he asks for Qin Jin, he naturally does not dare to offend this person.

The Son of Heaven left Beijing overnight without leaving a word. Early this morning, the ministers went to court as usual without knowing the inside situation, and after waiting for the Son of Heaven to arrive, they knew that the Son of Heaven was no longer in the palace......"

Qing Xuzi asked puzzledly:

"The ministers are still here, if someone raises their arms and shouts, the situation in Chang'an will not be chaotic like this?"

Wei Fangjin, who asked this sentence, blushed a little, the Son of Heaven fled with Yang Guozhong and other cronies, he was the prime minister of the political affairs hall as a servant, and he was already the head of the ministers, but he had no idea, and he was also in a hurry to return home to gather the old and young, pack up the belongings, and plan to take out the city before the rebels arrived.

Among the ministers, there are not half of them who have the same thoughts as Wei Fangjin, and there are even people who are already plotting to surrender to the Anshi rebels.

But in such a situation, how could Wei Fangjin, who was responsible and guilty, speak out? Yes, this old man sighed with a sigh, but he couldn't answer Qing Xuzi's question.

For all of the above, Qin Jin only thought about it a little and came to the result, because of Wei Fangjin's face, he didn't break it, and only asked:

"What are the plans of the old man at this time?"

Wei Fangjin's originally calm mood became agitated again, his hands clenched into fists, and he waved vigorously and indiscriminately.

"Please Qin envoy Jun to kill into the city, drive back the rebellious people, help, help the old man find a home......"

Entering the city to settle the chaos is a matter of course, as for whether Wei Fangjin's family can be found safe and sound, it can only depend on his creation.

"In this way, please ask the old minister to get on the horse and follow Qin into the city!"

Qin Jin specially gave Wei Fangjin a horse, which was less than ten miles away from Chang'an, and after asking the people who surrounded him, the horse was ready to ride in an instant.

The cavalry came from northwest to south, and the first to arrive was Gwanghwamun Gate. Guanghua Gate is located in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, although it is not the most important city gate, there are still heavy guards on weekdays, but at this time the city gate can be seen from afar, and countless people are crowded in it, struggling to hug outward, squeezing.

When Wei Fangjin saw this scene, he remembered the scene of escaping death in the city, and he still had palpitations, and his face showed a look of panic.

Originally, Qin Jin wanted to ask Wei Fangjin's opinion, but when he turned his head and saw his virtue, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, this kind of incompetent person was actually entrusted with the position of prime minister by Li Longji, and when this life and death were at stake, he didn't repent at all. Tongguan fell, and it is not surprising that Chang'an is in danger.

"The armies obey the order, and whoever is congested at the city gate and refuses to retreat according to the order will be killed immediately!"

Sometimes there is almost no difference between the rebellious people and the rebellious army, otherwise how could those meek and good people on weekdays rob the Zuozang Daying Treasury first, and then burn and loot the palace and the mansion of the hundred officials after the Son of Heaven fled to Beijing?

Wuhu Huaizhong grew up in the grassland since he was a child, and was accustomed to fighting and bloodshed, and after getting the military order of Qin and Jin, he immediately sent a few cavalrymen who spoke well in Han and had a loud voice to take the lead and shout to the people who were crowded inside and outside the Guanghua Gate.

However, at this time, everyone's eyes were red, how could just a few painless shouts make the rebels come to their senses and give up their plans to flee Chang'an?

In fact, it was not all the people who planned to flee that caused the congestion, and the people who lived outside the city heard that the officials in the city had run away, and the big surplus library and the palace ban had become unguarded places, so many people planned to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city to grab a handful. So, the people outside wanted to enter the city, but the people in the city grabbed their pockets and planned to flee. Two groups of people collided together, and the natural congestion was difficult to level.

The cavalry sent out shouted three times, but no one paid attention, and the people were red-eyed as if they had not noticed the cavalry coming from outside the city.

Seeing this, Wu Hu Huaizhong's eyes were shining, he raised his right hand, and then waved it down fiercely, highlighting a word in his mouth.

"Kill!"

Before the words fell, the crossbows that had already been wound up were stimulated, and hundreds of crossbow arrows roared in, and the chaotic people who were densely connected immediately fell into pieces. However, this is not the end, the crossbow was activated in a row, and the chaotic people who were congested in Guanghuamen fell down one after another like harvested grain.

An arrow away, Wei Fangjinhe, who was lying on horseback, had seen such a tragic scene, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he couldn't even say half a word in his mouth.

Wuhu Huaizhong, who was directly responsible for dispersing the chaotic people, did not have the slightest pity in his eyes, and in his eyes, he only had to thoroughly implement Qin Jin's military orders.

After the three-wheeled cavalry crossbow was fired, the red-eyed rebels finally realized the smell of death from outside the city, and regardless of the chaos inside and outside the city, this Gwanghwa Gate, which was enough for eight horsemen to be in parallel, was opened in front of the Shenwu army.

"Into town!"

After issuing the military order again, Qin Jin and Wei Fangjin entered Guanghuamen.

However, after entering the city, I heard the shouts of the people who had fled.

"Hu Dog is coming, Hu Dog has entered the city....... run for your life......"

Qin Jin only understood the reason in a blink of an eye, Wuhu Huaizhong and his subordinates were all Hu people, and they were such killers, so the rebels took it for granted that the Anshi rebels had arrived.

The Shenwu Army was mistaken for the Anshi rebels, and Qin Jin was originally a little nervous, always on guard that he would sneak attack and counterattack. But what he saw along the way made him "disappointed".

Not only did the chaotic people flee for their lives, but the occasional person wearing the armor of the forbidden army also fled as fast as a rabbit. Wherever the cavalry went, it was as if they were in a no-man's land.

Qin Jinyu immediately burst out laughing, almost laughing out of tears, the true face of the Brilliant Tang Dynasty was so ugly. The city of Jingshi was broken, and there was not even a single person to resist.

"Wei Xianggong, where have all the forbidden troops in this city gone? Isn't the Shence Army from Longyou stationed here?"

The Shence Army is the old department of Geshuhan, and it has been fighting against the Tubo people in the land of Longyou all the year round, and it can be regarded as brave and good at fighting, how can it be possible to escape cleanly without letting go of an arrow?

Wei Fangjin lowered his head and replied tremblingly:

"When the Son of Heaven leads the main force of the Shence Army......"

Thinking about it, how could the Son of Heaven flee without taking the forbidden army with him? As soon as he thought of this, Qin Jin was a little discouraged, and the most capable Shence army also smeared oil under his feet, could he still expect the remaining two forbidden armies and the Anshi rebels who were rotten to the bones to fight to the death?

After a group of people passed Puning Fang, they turned right, connected Xiuxiang, Fuxing two Fang, the surrounding chaos people had long fled without a trace, and then stopped when the imperial city Anfumen was already in sight.

Qin Jin looked from afar and saw that the Anfu Gate was tightly closed, as if the imperial city had not been attacked and looted by the chaotic people. At this moment, the Anfu Gate suddenly opened, and a team rushed out from inside. Even if Wu Hu Huaizhong ordered to be guarded with crossbows, as long as these people dared to make any changes, they would be killed immediately.

"Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows! I am Jingzhao Shaoyin Cui Guangyuan, and I am willing to lead the officials and people of Chang'an to defect to Emperor Dayan......"

Hearing this, Qin Jin almost got off his horse, he thought that these people were going to fight to the death, but he expected that the city would surrender.

As for why it was only a Jingzhao Shaoyin who led the officials and people of the whole city to surrender, Qin Jin wanted to get the reason even if he didn't ask, ministers like Wei Fangjin were unwilling to surrender, and they didn't have the courage to fight to the death, so they naturally hid or fled.

"The old minister took a closer look, the person at the head is Cui Guangyuan?"

Qin Jin has been an official in Chang'an for nearly a year, but he has never seen Cui Guangyuan. Wei Fangjin squinted at the old eyes for a while, nodded and said:

"That's right, it's this person! Cui Guangyuan was born in the Boling Cui clan, and he didn't want to be so undignified, contemptible, contemptible......"

Wei Fangjin said this sentence almost with a sense of grief and indignation, and when he said it, he usually coughed because he was too emotional.

Qin Jin no longer paid attention to Wei Fangjin, who was cowardly but despised Cui Guangyuan, and galloped forward, until he was neck with Wuhu Huaizhong before shouting:

"After a certain Nai River East Road Festival stays, Feng Yijun is too guarded, and so is Qin Jin!"
