Chapter 775 General Trend (2)

Chang'an City.

This city is very new, it is the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian in the southern slope of the original Longshou built the name of Daxing City, the ancient Chang'an is on the northern slope, at that time because the Chang'an Ancient City Market is too narrow, the most important thing is that the drinking water has been seriously polluted, it is not suitable for people to live.

Therefore, Emperor Wen Yang Jian built a large number of buildings, and it only took more than a year to build the main body of Daxing City, which is now the inner city of the new Chang'an, and then moved the civil and military officials and some people to live in the new Chang'an.

Later, Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, and made people build today's outer city, completely improving the pattern of the new Chang'an, but unfortunately Yang Guang did not stop in the new Chang'an for much time, but some people were cheaper, and they moved from the old city to the new city.

When Li Xiuning led his women's army to Longshou Plain, they didn't dare to make a strong effort towards the new Chang'an, but they just buried their heads in the old city and did not succeed.

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, the ancient city of Chang'an was actually almost empty, and Chang'an County was there, managing some people who were unwilling to leave.

After years of war, the population has decreased sharply elsewhere, for example, in the eastern capital of Luoyang, no one knows how many people have died over the years, but after the winter of this year, how many people in Luoyang can survive, it is really hard to say.

But Chang'an is very different, from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, Chang'an has not been affected by many wars, plus the people who fled from all over the place, Chang'an is actually a lot more than the population at its peak.

This is obviously due to Li Yuan's good governance, and it is also due to the protection of the Guanxi Gate Valve, it can be said that they are not only the rebels and thieves who are the source of the turmoil in the world, but also the ministers who protect the territory of the sheltering side, and it is nothing more than how to properly appoint them.

Yang Guang can't use it, the world is in chaos, the country is dead, Yang Jian makes good use of it, and he mixes the whole world and determines the future.

………………………………………………

Now Chang'an is in danger of changing hands, but the panic in people's hearts is the same as elsewhere.

It is very appropriate to describe it as three shocks in one night, and those who can sleep peacefully in this will either be gods or fools, and what makes people even more frightened is that everyone has just heard some rumors, and the enemy has arrived under Chang'an City.

Once the Jin army really crossed the river, it was in a state of wind and clouds, no different from when Li Yuan went south, the difference may only be that one is expected by the public, and the other is due to the might of the army.

In other words, before the army reached the city of Chang'an, there was already chaos in the city.

Many nobles wanted to follow the example of those who were hiding from the military service in Liaodong, scattered in the countryside, and it was over if people couldn't find it, but they couldn't even get out of the city, let alone go back to their hometown.

Li Yuan has more than one enemy, and they are secretly probing their brains, looking for an opportunity to give Li Yuan a hard time.

Under the panic of the people, some people began to take advantage of the gap to cause chaos, and there were such guys everywhere who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and most of them were gangsters in the city.

Li Yuan's anger burned above the palace city, he didn't believe it at this time, why did the enemy army come to the left side of Chang'an City so quickly, and Dou Liang had just left, right? Even if Dou Rail's bastard died, he should have sent someone back to deliver the message, right?

Or did he lead his troops to the enemy? This is what Li Yuan is most afraid of, under the general trend has gone, it is possible for anyone to have any idea.

Don't talk about a person with the surname Dou, even if the surname is Li, not everyone can be trusted.

But the news that came back was conclusive, Wannian County had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the people in the eastern Shaanxi Road had run back, saying that the enemy was close to the eyes and was menacing.

The road in the direction of Tongguan was cut off, and there was no contact with the defenders of Tongguan.

Until the figure of the enemy cavalry also appeared under Chang'an City, coming and going, unscrupulous, such as entering a no-man's land, it means that the gates of the four cities of Chang'an City are closed.

The most shocking news came back that his son, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led the remnants of the Tang army westward......

The seriously ill son was spreading joy outside, Li Yuan definitely didn't believe it, but he just sent Li Yuanji to the Qin Wangfu to take a look, this time it was really bad.

The head of the Qin Palace, Shi Du Ruhui, had died of illness, and before he died, he dismissed most of the servants in the Qin Palace, and the princesses, side concubines and several favorite concubines of the Qin King Li Shimin were sent back to their respective homes.

Even King Qin's children were sent away, but in a hurry, I don't know where they went.

Qin King Li Shimin himself naturally disappeared, and a play was performed for more than a month, but no one noticed it, and he was worthy of being his son Li Yuan.

When Li Yuanji returned to Li Yuan angrily, the father and son looked at each other like fools for a long time, and then Li Yuan waved his hand and slapped his son fiercely.

"Little brute, angry people are also ......" Anyway, it's his son, who is not beating.

But the anger can't save the fate of Chang'an, and even the fate of the Li family in Longxi.

The relatives of the Li family and Li Yuan's henchmen and courtiers came to Li Yuan one after another, and some persuaded Li Yuan to go out of the city and go west immediately, after all, his nephew Li Xiaogong and his son Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, had hundreds of thousands of troops in Shuzhong, as well as a family background that had turned over.

Some people suggested that the servants of the various mansions in the city should be immediately alerted, and the family soldiers should be formed, plus the troops of the various guards, to block the enemy outside Chang'an City, and wait for reinforcements from all over the city to come to help.

Li Yuan has a lot of relatives and confidants, and there are many different opinions, which make some sense at first glance, and if you think about it carefully, it is not very reliable.

And many of them don't look at it, they all carry the titles of this king and that prince, but they don't have much real power on them, and their words are as light as paper without any weight.

At the critical juncture, it was naturally not always a group of idlers surrounding Li Yuan, Li Yuan constantly convened his courtiers to discuss matters and put pressure on the lords of those big valves.

Can it work...... Only God knows, everyone knows the way of survival of the great lords of the world, so it is easy for them to add icing on the cake and send charcoal in the snow...... See if you have that value, and if you don't break your bones, they might take a gamble.

Just like the marriage between the Luoyang Chai family and the Chang'an Li family, the rich man Chai family gambled on the future of the Li family.

If it weren't for the fact that these big lords were never reliable at a critical juncture, Wei Xuanwei Wensheng would not have dug up the ancestral graves of Yang Su and Li Yuan's families in a row, just forcing these people not to betray the old master.

So even if Li Yuan didn't think about it himself, someone would help him remember that there were still Li Ding'an's relatives in the city, so Li Yuan sent someone to arrest Li Jing.

It's a pity that it's late, Li Jing is no longer in Princess Pingyang's mansion, in the name of visiting relatives, he is missing, Pharmacist Li saw the opportunity quickly, and he had to be taken care of by Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, and he left without a trace, but there is still King Li Yao.

In the end, Li Yaowang's family was arrested from the mansion, and because of its weight, it was difficult to say, so they were temporarily imprisoned in Zuo Wuwei's mansion and guarded by Jiang Baoyi, the general of Zuo Wuwei.

The so-called cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, many years ago, Li Yaowang's family pitted Pharmacist Li not lightly, but now they are involved by Pharmacist Li and are in prison, so it is really hard to say that things in this world are really hard to say.

Of course, the two brothers have long turned against each other, and at this season, if they want to take advantage of this to hold Li Jing, they don't have to think about it.

Li Po does not have many relatives, and it seems to have become an advantage at this time, otherwise his ancestral grave would have to be dug up, so as not to let the predecessors specialize in beauty.

In addition, Li Yuan ordered his henchmen to defend the various city gates, in addition to preventing people from taking advantage of the chaos to escape from Chang'an and causing more chaos, the main thing was to prevent the nobles from colluding inside and outside, and sold his Li family before the battle.

Moreover, in the Chang'an Street Market, the price of grain and rice has already soared to the sky, and it is more difficult for ordinary people to buy grain than to ascend to the sky, but the big nobles have hoarded a large amount of grain and are unwilling to give anyone a little bit.

In the past two years, there has been a shortage of grain in Kansai, which has also made the nobles more and more tightly gripped, refusing to sell it, and not eating much of it......

Li Yuan and the others knew this, but in addition to being a member of the Guanxi Gate Valve, they also had nothing to do with the huge aristocratic group.

Anyway, the soldiers have not yet come to the city, and the chaos in Chang'an has been wave after wave, and on the evening of this day, fires have been lit everywhere in Chang'an, and some people have taken the opportunity to make trouble......

The nobles gathered their soldiers and servants, and also stepped up preparations to deal with the disasters that could come at any time, and they were even more unwilling to help Li Yuan.

More smart people are watching the wind and the situation, and they are also wondering whether to grovel once the army enters the city. Or is it tougher and let the new owner know that he is not a coward?

In the next two days, more and more enemy scouts came on horseback, patrolling around the left side of Chang'an City, but there was no sign of the large group of men and horses.

What the people in Chang'an City didn't know was that at this time, with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry hurried through Jingzhao County with terrifying momentum and speed, heading west.

Zhang Lun's flag was planted at the head of the county seat of Wannian County, and the people in the county town had long been scattered in the countryside.

The army is fighting, and it is these ordinary people who suffer.

Wannian County has once again become a place to gather soldiers, and many years later, the sun, moon and stars flag fluttered again in the sky over Wannian County, but unfortunately it did not bring any calming effect.

Chen Yuan's Zuotun Wei Mansion and Zhang Lun's Zuo Yiwei Mansion were all gathered here, while Wei Chixin and Yu Wenwei led their troops to capture the city, clearing the way for the final capture of Cheng'an City.

At this time, the letter of persuasion was not only sent to Tongguan, but some people in Cheng'an City have also quietly gotten the news, with the news of the dedication of the city by the Marquis of Hancheng to ten thousand years, it is getting closer and closer to the completion of the city.

Two days later, Ashina Jihu, Ashina Danai led the pro-army to embrace Li Po to Wannian, and Luo Shixin, the leader of the left army of the Han Wangfu, was suffocated, and tried his best to ask for orders to fight, Li Po was also indispensable, so he led a thousand pro-troops to pursue Li Shimin with Xue Wanche's department.
