Chang'an has become a lonely city, leaving only Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi, and Gu Yi with 50,000 troops to defend the city.

"Chang'an can't hold it!"

Under the sunset, the old Wei Xuan, who was dressed in armor, was even older!

In just three days. Weinan, Xinfeng, Gaoling, Fuping, Sanyuan, Huayuan, Yunyang, Jingyang, Tongguan, Shangyi, Juxian, Lantian, Fengyi, Shangluo County counties have responded to the incident and changed their courts. Killing the loyal officials of the Great Sui and raising the flag to welcome Li Yuan into the customs, the children of the Guanlong nobles were excited and rushed to serve Li Yuan!

Chang'an, which has been reduced to an isolated city, has always been the base camp of the Guanlong magnates, even if the last 50,000 troops did not rebel, the Guanlong magnates will also send their children and servants to seize the door and sacrifice the city.

Yin Shi Shi Shi and Gu Yi are silent!

"We are loyal to the Great Sui, but we didn't expect the Great Sui to fall apart so quickly." Wei Xuan's hair fluttered, and he sighed: "Speaking of which, the old man is really unwilling." ”

"Old general, I'm not willing either. It's just that although the saint is gone, but the Great Sui still has the wise and martial King of Qin, the King of Qin even beheaded the more than 300,000 troops of the beginning, if it is not unexpected, the next step will be to recover Hedongdao, with him, Li Yuan and other thieves are just clowns jumping off the beam, with him, the Great Sui will not die, but unfortunately we can't see the prosperity of the Great Sui and the Great Sui! Gu Yi looked stunned, he was a native of Chang'an, a strong temperament, inspirational and conservative, and independent.

Yang Jian's father and son have been committed to promoting the Hanmen, and he only entered Yang Jian's eyes in the early years of the emperor's reign, and was appointed as the imperial historian. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he moved to the right Shilang of Shangshu and worshiped Jingzhao County!

He was a cold man, and he hit walls everywhere when he was young! He hated the family gate who controlled the government and the official position of the world, and was full of heartfelt respect for Yang Tong, who challenged the authority of the family!

It is particularly gratifying to see that it has achieved a series of achievements.

The Yin Shishi is almost the same, but he is better than Gu Yi, because he is a second-generation official, but in the eyes of the family's gate valve, the Yin family who inherits the second generation is just a turtle.

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly: "The old man couldn't have imagined that King Qin was so powerful!" ”

Yin Shi Shi said: "It is indeed unexpected, but this is inevitable. The world was peaceful before, although His Royal Highness King Qin was ambitious, but after all, he had no foundation, and the people who supported King Yan were always staring, if one was not careful, I am afraid that King Yan and the acting king would not let him go, how could he not be careless in such a situation? ”

"That's right!" Wei Xuan also nodded approvingly, his gaze swept over the Yin Shi Shi and Gu Yi, behind the two of them, were the Yin Shi Shi's sons ** Hongzhi and Yin Mingyue, and Gu Yi's son Gu Yan, his eyes stopped on the picturesque and heroic Yin Mingyue, and then said slowly: "Two, this is the battlefield for these old guys, let the children go!" ”

"Old General!"

The Yin World Master and the Bone Yi were shocked!

Wei Xuan said slowly: "All the children of my Wei family died in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the Wei family only has one child, Princess Qin, and the old man has suffered all these years!" And the two of you only have so much blood and bones, how can the old man bear it! Let the kids go! ”

"This ......" Yin Shishi and Gu Yi hesitated, and the inheritance of the bloodline prevailed, so they let their children quietly leave the army, lead their families to take refuge elsewhere, and wait for Chang'an to be calm, and then try to return to Jizhou!

Waiting for the two of them to arrange the aftermath, Wei Xuan, who was alone, squinted his eyes and said: "Chang'an is leaking everywhere, and it can't be defended by guarding, rather than scattering troops in the cities, it is better to form troops in one place and give Li Yuan a fatal blow!" ”

"Old general, please command!"

"Among the 50,000 troops, there are only 20,000 who can recruit good fighters! The old man wants to transfer 20,000 elites into the palace in the name of guarding the Daxing Palace! So as to avoid the eyes and ears of the unscrupulous people, and then the soldiers went out of the Xuanwu Gate and attacked Li Yuan's camp unknowingly! ”

Yin Shishi's eyes lit up: "Chang'an Daxing Palace is the top priority, no one would have thought that we would abandon this important place!" Li Yuan already knew how many soldiers we had, and he would not have expected us to dare to take the initiative! ”

……

The night is hazy!

There is a large camp stationed outside the Mingde Gate of Chang'an, there are not only Li Yuan's regular troops here, but also many bandits who come from all over Guanzhong to surrender, the banners are mottled, the clothes are uneven, there is no sentry camp gate, the army is based on a corner, the camp is noisy and noisy, drinking and fisting, and from time to time there are prostitutes with heavy makeup coming out of the big tent, which looks very chaotic.

At this time, Li Yuan was also in a relaxed state,

According to the news from the city, Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi, and Gu Yi divided the 50,000 defenders into two, one to defend the city and the other to garrison Daxing Palace.

The defenders of the city are temporarily drawn young and strong, and have no combat effectiveness, many of them are the children of major families, domestic slaves, as long as the fight starts, these people will open the city gate and lead the army into Chang'an. Therefore, everyone agreed that the real battle would take place in Daxing Palace, which was tall and strong in the palace wall.

Li Yuan had an army of three or four hundred thousand, although the good and the bad were uneven, but there were many people and morale, and it was not difficult to conquer a palace.

As long as it dawns tomorrow, the army can be upright and upright, enter Chang'an and Daxing Palace, and thus achieve the hegemony of the Li family.

At this time, the lights in the big tent of the Chinese army were bright.

Li Yuan met with the representatives of each family one by one and reached an agreement to share Guanzhong, and then he was full of red faces and discussed with his nephews and a group of henchmen about the major events after occupying Chang'an.

He was now in the prime of his life, everything was going well, and that Supreme Throne was only a wall away from him, and he couldn't wait a little.

Li Yuan originally started and entered the Guanzhong under the slogan of "abolishing the faint and establishing the Ming, supporting the acting king, and restoring the Sui room", but unexpectedly, the crown princess and the acting king Yang Yu had already slipped away, which made Li Yuan very depressed, and he knew that he should have let the major families send dead soldiers to watch Yang Yu.

In desperation, he could only go all the way, all the way to the pass to find a replacement for the acting king, but the Great Sui clan Ding Buwang, almost all the direct clans were taken to Jiangdu by Yang Guang, and Yu Wenhua and the rebellion after the killing, so that the royal family only left the Qin King Yang Tong, the acting king Yang Yu, Yang Qi who established himself as the emperor, and Yang Hao, who was supported by Yu culture, and others, all died cleanly.

mobilized the major families to search for several days, and only then did they find a distant clan relative with the help of the Dugu clan, Yang Guang's uncle named Yang Hang's grandson, who has no status in the clan, only a little real estate, and lives on rent.

Li Yuan also knew that this person couldn't take it, but he really had no choice but to bring this Yang Hang and prepare to make him a puppet emperor after capturing Chang'an.

The emperor has been chosen.

Li Yuan cares more about his own interests!

Therefore, he is discussing his title and title with Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, Dou Wei, Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng, who came from the party, and others!

The opinions of the people were divided into two factions, Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing, Wang Qi and others suggested maintaining the status quo, Li Yuan had already taken the general, Yu Wenhua and took away the so-called prime minister! In order not to overstimulate the surrounding anti-king, you can't be crowned a prince too early.

But Li Shimin and Pei Lian, Dou Wei, Dugu Huaien and other Guanlong magnates did not think so, Pei Lin said to everyone: "The general did not ascend the throne and stand on his own, but still respected Sui, even if he became the king of Tang, he was still a Sui minister, which did not lose his righteousness." Besides, the two generations of emperors also officially issued a decree saying that different surnames are not allowed to be crowned kings, since there are no strict regulations, that is, the king, and it is not self-proclaimed, but the new emperor is crowned, why not? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The child also agrees with his father's accession to the throne of Tang Dynasty, this is not a vain name, but a matter of expectation." Because under his father's account, there are three Jin Dynasty children, Guan Long Haojie, famous ministers, and famous families. They want to follow their father if their father doesn't make meritorious contributions, wouldn't the military generals be very disappointed? And when there are people everywhere who are called lonely and widowed, if everyone has merit and can't get promoted, isn't it very chilling to lose? Therefore, only when the father enters the Tang Dynasty, everyone has room for improvement. ”

In fact, Li Yuan wanted to be the king. Now Pei Lin told him that it was feasible to be crowned the king of Tang from the perspective of law, and Li Shimin told him from the perspective of interests that the king was expected by everyone, so Li Yuan made up his mind to wait for the new monarch to ascend the throne and become the king of Tang himself.

And at this moment, a dull drum beat sounded in the darkness: "Knock-knock-knock"

The drum beats slowly, and every time it is beaten, it seems to be beating in the heart of a person.

"It's cavalry, it's a lot of cavalry!"

Li Shimin said in shock.

As soon as the words fell, the screams came from the east, west, and south directions to the camp.

When everyone went out to take a look, they saw three Sui armies rampaging in the camp, and their own troops who were caught off guard by the carnival were killed on their backs.

The camp was on fire, the sound of killing shook the sky, the front and rear roads were blocked by the chaotic soldiers, the arrows in the middle were like rain, the main force of the Li family army was forced into a dilemma by the chaotic army, and at this time, the Chang'an Mingde Gate was opened, countless Sui troops killed out of the city, countless clay pots were thrown into the camp, after a bang, the rockets were fired all over the sky, and the dense arrows shot out of the chaotic army that retreated step by step, the soldiers of the Li army had nowhere to hide, and were burned to wail and scream, crying and screaming............

Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi, and Gu Yi led the army to gallop across the flock, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the unsuspecting Li Yuan's soldiers, with their heads rolling and corpses all over the ground.

In the middle of the night, Li Yuan's army was scattered in all directions, and without the obstruction of the rabble, Li Yuan's elite finally got out of trouble and fought a bloody battle with the Sui army.

Just when the Yin World Master was crisscrossing, he suddenly saw a general sweeping towards him with a big knife, fierce and heavy, he was taken aback, shook the big gun and picked it up, and wanted to borrow the power of the other party's big knife to pick it up, but the other party took advantage of the situation to press down the gun of the Yin World Master, poor Yin Shi Shi couldn't dodge, and was smashed on the chest by his own gun, his bones were shattered, and he died tragically on the spot.

Gu Yi came to fight with a spear, but was shot in the neck by Li Shimin with an arrow from the side, turned over and fell off his horse, and the soldiers rushed up and split his body into pieces.

And the old and frail veteran Wei Xuan also died in the chaos, but the 20,000 Xiaoguo troops led by the three of them all died heroically, and no one surrendered!

This battle was the last battle of the Guanzhong Sui army, and it was also the battle of the loyalty of the Guanzhong Xiaoguo army. The battle lasted for a whole night, although Li Yuan took Chang'an and Daxing Palace without a single soldier.

But outside the city, they were killed in rivers of blood and corpses! The wide-eyed eyes of the many corpses were empty, and there was still so much fear, despair, and unwillingness.

This night!

It is the curtain call battle between Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi, Gu Yi and the heroes of the Great Sui, and it is also the most glorious battle of the loyal bones of the Great Sui.

This night!

No less than 120,000 Li Yuan sergeants were killed, trampled to death, and burned to death, which was definitely a nightmare profound lesson for Li Yuan, who took the entire Guanzhong without a single battle. The heads of the Guan Long family, representatives, and outstanding children who came to the alliance also died.

The breath of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood outside the Mingde Gate submerged the entire Chang'an.

It was Li Yuan who won, but also lost!

Won Chang'an and Daxing Palace, but lost Ruhong's morale.

What made Li Yuan even more depressed was that Yang Hang, the Great Sui clan who had tried his best to find him, also died, and in desperation, Li Yuan had to find a more remote royal clan, Yang Huai, as the emperor.
