Tens of thousands of cavalry under black pressure suddenly appeared in the north two miles, overwhelming the sky, and there was quite a kind of power of black clouds pressing the city.

Zhu Junjun was in turmoil, Liang Tingfen was extremely shocked in his heart, he tried his best to keep calm, and shouted: "Don't panic, the whole team is ready to fight!" ”

The 20,000 Zhu Zhu troops turned around one after another, preparing to meet the cavalry from the north, and Guo Song also ordered: "The army is out of the customs to fight!" ”

The drawbridge was lowered, the gates of the city were opened, and the 10,000 cavalry were ready.

At this time, the drums of the northern army were loud, and in the fierce war drums, 30,000 cavalry broke out with earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the iron horses were galloping, the dust was flying, and the earth was trembling.

The 10,000 cavalry in the city stabbed out like a sharp sword, Guo Song took the lead, wielding Fang Tian's halberd, and went straight to the foot of the mountain to kill, followed by 10,000 cavalry who followed him.

Wang Yu was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and ran to Liang Tingfen's eyes and shouted: "General Liang, we are under the enemy on our backs and can't resist it, so quickly withdraw ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Tingfen's spear had pierced his chest, knocking him over and dismounting, and another shot killed him.

"The old thief is innocent!"

Liang Tingfen hated this military advisor who had bad ideas, and in order to catch Guo Song, he made himself miserable.

He yelled with blood-red eyes: "Resist it for me, fight to the death!" ”

In fact, the 20,000 Zhu Jun army was already involuntarily, and 40,000 cavalry in front of and behind entered the ranks, and fierce battles broke out between the two teams.

But the Hexi army was all cavalry, all elite divisions, twice the strength of the other side, at first the Zhu army also used the formation to resist slightly, but as the infantry formation was cut to pieces, the war gradually evolved into a one-sided massacre.

Liang Tingfen was frantically looking for Guo Song on the battlefield, he saw Guo Song's royal flag, and kept approaching it, at this time, Liang Tingfen suddenly saw a general wearing a golden helmet, and a Fang Tian painting halberd on the war horse, was directing the cavalry to fight.

Liang Tingfen was overjoyed, he pulled out an arrow, galloped his horse, and shot an arrow eighty steps away from Guo Song, and the cold arrow shot straight at Guo Song's neck.

One of the soldiers suddenly noticed it and shouted, "Beware!" ”

Guo Song also felt the sound of breaking the air on the right, he hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, and the arrow grazed the back of his neck.

Guo Song was furious, turned his head, and saw Liang Tingfen eighty paces away, he turned his horse's head, and galloped towards him.

Liang Tingfen missed an arrow, and was unwilling, so he pulled out another arrow and shot an arrow head-on, but it was split by Guo Song's halberd, and Guo Song had already killed thirty steps away.

Liang Tingfen had no intention of running away, he hung up his bow, drew his spear, roared, urged the horse to gallop, and stabbed Guo Song in the chest with a fierce swing of his spear.

'When! With a loud bang, the guns and halberds intersected, Liang Tingfen was shocked to the point that his arms were numb, and the two horses staggered by.

Guo Song swung his halberd and slashed, as fast as lightning, and a cold light flashed, 'Poof! The halberd blade hit the back of Liang Tingfen's neck, the big head flew up, and the headless corpse ran out of more than a dozen steps, plopping down the horse.

A personal soldier shouted: "Envoy, the person just now is the enemy's main general Liang Tingfen!" ”

It turned out to be Liang Tingfen, Guo Song was really a little surprised, he used the tip of the halberd to provoke people's heads and threw them to his own soldiers, "Tell the three armies to show the public!" ”

More than a dozen pro-soldiers picked up bamboo poles with long bamboo poles, ran at a high speed on the battlefield, and shouted: "Liang Tingfen is dead!" Liang Tingfen is dead! ”

Zhu Zhu's army has been unable to resist twice its own cavalry offensive, the death of the main general became the last straw that broke the camel's back, Zhu Zhu's army collapsed on the whole line, the soldiers scattered and fled, but two legs could not run on four legs, 40,000 cavalry blocked the enemy's escape path, some soldiers shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" Those who surrender do not kill! ”

The enemy soldiers seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and they surrendered on their knees, and there was a general with hundreds of people who refused to surrender and wanted to break through, they were surrounded by 3,000 cavalry, and they were killed in a moment.

The battle was finally over, the surrendering soldiers took off their armor, threw away their weapons, and the detachments were escorted away, and in this battle the Zhu army was killed nearly 4,000 people, more than 3,000 wounded, and together with the wounded soldiers, 16,000 people surrendered.

If you add the 6,000 troops in Luoguan and the nearly 30,000 troops in Yuanzhou, the army of Zhu Zhu captured more than 50,000 in this Guannai campaign.

The Hexi Army occupied the Kyushu of Guannai except Jingzhou, Pizhou and Fangzhou, and the gates of Guanzhong were opened.

However, Guo Song has no plan to recover Guanzhong now, which involves the attitude of the Chengdu Imperial Court, Guo Song does not want to attack Chang'an easily, he seized Guannei, mainly to connect Hedong and Hexi through the corridor of Guannei Road, which is too important to him, otherwise he will have to detour to Fengzhou every time, and the road is too far.

The news of Guo Song's seizure of Kyushu in Guannai soon spread to Chang'an, causing Chang'an to fall into a panic, and many Chang'an people left Chang'an City with their wives and children to take refuge in the countryside to escape the imminent outbreak of war.

Affected by this war cloud, the price of rice in Chang'an rose in response, from 60 Wen of Dou Rice, breaking through 100 Wen in one fell swoop, reaching 150 Wen of Dou Mi, but two days later the price of rice broke through 300 Wen, fortunately this year's grain harvest in Guanzhong, the price of rice in the breakthrough of 300 Wen of Dou Mi, and slowly declined, and finally maintained at the level of 200 Wen of Dou Mi.

The news of the loss of Guannei Road and the annihilation of the two support armies made Zhu Zhu furious, and he called Liu Sigu, Yuan Xiu and others to the imperial study and scolded them.

The scolding made everyone's faces full of shame, bowed their heads and said nothing, Zhu Jun was tired of scolding, so he panted and said, "What do you say now?" Am I going to transfer all my troops back to Guanzhong to prepare for war? ”

His eyes fell on Liu Sigu and said: "You say first, this battle was planned by you, and now you have to atone for my meritorious service and come up with a feasible plan." ”

Liu Sigu's face was full of shame, his responsibility was not that the aid plan was wrong, but that the intelligence was obtained too late, and the reinforcements sent were too late, and it was indeed his responsibility that he was in charge of the intelligence.

"Your Majesty, I originally thought that Guo Song would lead the army to kill Guanzhong, but I didn't expect him to stop at Luoguan, and he didn't even want Fangzhou to his mouth, which shows that his original intention to launch this battle was not in Guanzhong, but in Guannei, to open up the passage between Hedong and Hexi, and it is almost certain that Guo Song will not attack Guanzhong at least this year."

"What do you think?" Zhu Jun asked a few others.

Everyone agreed with Liu Sigu's analysis, and Yuan Xiu added: "Guo Song's battle is obviously a serious violation of the non-aggression pact we signed, and we should send envoys to severely condemn it, secondly, it is recommended to quickly stabilize the price of grain and stabilize the hearts of the people, and in addition, considering the three caves of the cunning rabbit, it is necessary for Your Majesty to transfer some of the materials to Luoyang ........"

"You're going to move the capital?"

Zhu Jun glared at Yuan Xiu very dissatisfied, and asked Liu Sigu again, "Could it be that the military advisor also wants to persuade me to move the capital?" ”

Liu Sigu nodded, "The lowly position does have this idea. ”

Zhu Jun was stunned, and asked for a while: "Is the situation so serious that it is impossible to move the capital?" ”

Liu Sigu persuaded: "Your Majesty, the ancients, the gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, Guo Song has surrounded Guanzhong on three sides, Guanzhong is actually no danger to him to defend, as long as he is willing, the army can enter Guanzhong at any time, of course we will not give Guanzhong away, but the capital is special, and safety must be guaranteed, so move the capital to Luoyang, and then build Guanzhong into a defensive area, and use Guanzhong to contain Guo Song." ”

Zhu Jun was lost in his heart, he really didn't want to leave Guanzhong, he saw that Yao Lingyan had been silent, so he asked, "What does Yao Xiangguo think?" ”

"I think it's a bit strange to be lowly, it stands to reason that he could have occupied Fangzhou and Pizhou and even Jingzhou, but he didn't do that."

"Why is that?" Zhu Jun asked.

Yao Lingyan sorted out his thoughts and continued: "I feel that Guo Song is worried about Chengdu, if he captures Guanzhong, Li Shi will definitely come back, then politically it is very unfavorable to Guo Song, I believe that the Southern Tang Dynasty court will gradually encroach on his land and weaken his power, Guo Song simply did not attack Guanzhong, kept Guanzhong in our hands, and used us to cut off the connection with the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is the real reason why he let go of Jingzhou Sanzhou this time." ”

Zhu Jun frowned, "Guo Song will be afraid of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" I don't think of them at all! ”

Liu Sigu said: "Yao Xiangguo's analysis is very reasonable, Guo Song does not take the imperial court in his eyes, but he has to be pretentious in order to win the support of the world's scholars, it should be said that he is not ready." ”

Zhu Jun nodded, "Then Yao Xiangguo means that you don't have to think about moving the capital?" ”

Yao Lingyan shook his head, "In fact, the lowly position also supports the relocation of the capital, we are surrounded by the Guo Song army on three sides, their army enters Guanzhong from time to time, Chang'an will panic once, there is really a lack of security in the capital, and the scholars in Guanzhong do not support us, it is better to move the capital to Luoyang, at least the safety can be guaranteed." ”

Zhu Jun was silent for a moment and said, "Let me think about this matter again." ”
