After two days and nights of weighing, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Butian finally decided to surrender, Xu You's "Book with Bu Tian" was not a simple persuasion letter, and gave him enough steps and promises in the letter. With Xu You's current literary name, this letter will soon spread all over the world and become a talisman for Bu Tian, after thinking about it, he opened the camp gate in the early morning, wore green clothes, held the champion general seal and the seal of the Hou of Guannei, and went to the camp of the Cuiyu army.

Zuo Yan came out of the gate, held his arms before kneeling in the world, and said: "My military commander hopes that the general will be like a long drought and a rain, and from now on, he will be like a brother and fight together." ”

"The sinners were too late to return to righteousness, and they were deeply ashamed. General Meng Zhengbei did not give up, painstakingly admonished, and gave the book as a gift, but fortunately lost his way back, from now on, he was willing to be driven, and there was no second heart! ”

Zuo Yan accepted the seal ribbon and said with relief: "The champion general and the marquis of Guan Nei are the official positions of the traitor Hugh Ming, I will take back the second seal for the time being, the general is still the history of Qingzhou Thorn, and all the officials are appointed by the general." However, please rest assured, when the two royal highnesses of King Linchuan and King Jiangxia are reported, they will have another grace and will never let the general suffer the slightest grievance. ”

This is the proper meaning of the question, Bu Tian happily handed over the seal ribbon, and Zuo Yan entered the camp with his hands, and drank freely. After more than ten days, the messenger sent to Jingkou came back, saying that Jiangxia Wang Xu, Linchuan Wang Xinting ascended the throne, and Feng Butian was the general of Zhenbei, the assassin of Qingzhou, and the Marquis of Zhaoxian Pavilion, and was controlled by Xu You.

Qing, Xu Naiding!

Xiliang, Dingcheng ushered in the most cruel day.

After many days of preparation, Yao Ji requisitioned tens of thousands of servants from the surrounding five counties, cut down wood and quarry, built a large number of siege equipment, slaughtered cattle and sheep, rewarded the three armies, stimulated morale, and spared no people's strength, so that these servants built a soil mountain higher than the head of the city in the east of the city, killing and wounding thousands of people, and the two earth mountains were finally built, and the general attack began at dawn in the early morning.

The 500 archers on the dirt hill used their strong bows to fire continuously and suppress the enemy at the head of the city. Hundreds of soldiers who dared to die first climbed the ladder to hook the female wall, and then used the wooden curtain as a defense, braving dense wooden beats, arrows and boiling water, and climbed up with agility like apes.

Several chariots were also pushed under the city wall, and the soldiers who swarmed out with shovels, pickaxes, and hoes dug holes in the ground along the base of the wall. Wang Bozhi, who discovered their intentions, immediately ordered someone to fill a clay pot with sesame oil, light it and throw it on the cart, but the cart was wrapped in three layers of raw cow leather, and the middle was also filled with earth, and the fire attack could not be effective, and he shot with a bow and crossbow, and he also did not hurt a single bit. In less than an hour, they dug the foundation, then propped it up with wooden pillars, dug into it for about three meters, poured oil on it, lit the wooden pillars, and quickly evacuated.

When the wooden pillars were burned down, the city wall collapsed into a slope of earth that sloped upward, revealing a gap seven or eight steps wide. Yao Ji was overjoyed, waved the flag, and the three thousand elites who had been waiting for a long time rushed over with a roar. The prepared defenders immediately blocked the gap with a wooden fence, and the front and rear five rows of pikemen stood in turn, the front row squatted on the ground, the spears poked out from under the fence, the second row leaned forward slightly, the spears poked out from the middle of the fence, the third row stood, the spears stood on the top of the fence, and the two back rows stood by with guns, armed the gap into iron hedgehogs with open fangs. Then hundreds of thistles with ropes were thrown down the slope, and those who stepped on them broke their feet and rolled on the ground with a wail, greatly slowing down the march.

Finally approached the gap, suddenly from both sides of the crossbowmen armed with crossbows, the sound of the machine accompanied by the grim smile of death, rushing to the front of the person as if hit by the oncoming giant hammer, like the slow motion of the movie, the person flew backwards, and the forward comrades formed a strong visual contrast, tumbling and falling into the flying dust, dull eyes looked at the sky, twitched a few times and no longer moved.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield!"

"Rush, don't stop!"

After surviving two waves of arrow rain, the left soldiers had already rushed to the gap, and the upper, middle and lower three rows of spears stabbed out fiercely, and three big blood holes suddenly drilled out of the chest and side waist, and they didn't even have a chance to scream, and they were killed instantly. Then he pulled out the tip of the gun and stabbed it again, swiftly, neatly, and delicately, apparently specially trained for purpose.

But the left soldiers are the most elite troops in the Liang Kingdom, and they are not afraid of death, and even the imperial guards can't be compared, let alone these soldiers in Dingcheng. A left-hand soldier had three spears stuck in his waist, but he still held his breath, and threw himself on the fence, so that the opponent could not pull out the tip of the spear smoothly, and then brandished a long knife to cut off the head of a spearman.

In just a few breaths, the gap was filled with corpses from both sides!

Up and down the city wall, the smoke is everywhere, the wall is already full of people, and the gap is further expanding. After half a day of hard fighting, fires suddenly broke out in various parts of the city, first the granaries, then the houses, and then the arsenals, and the defenders were so suspicious that they could not withstand it anymore and retreated one after another. Yao Ji personally led 5,000 cavalry into the city from the gap, and Wang Bozhi organized five lines of defense in the city, but the army was in turmoil and was unable to resist, so Yao Ji easily broke through.

By the time the sun set, Dingcheng, the last pass east of Chang'an, had fallen!

The fire that ignited at the most critical moment of the Dingcheng offensive and defensive battle naturally would not be for no reason. It was Wen Ziyou who deliberately let 5,000 rout troops enter the city when Yao Ji defeated Chang'an's reinforcements, which were mixed with dozens of Moon Scar's men. These people are like pepper noodles sprinkled into Weishui, and they are inconspicuous when they enter the city and drill around, but at a certain moment, a nail can subvert an empire, let alone dozens of nails, just to overturn a city.

Subsequently, Wang Bozhi, the general of Qinzhou and Zhendong, committed suicide and martyrdom, and the remaining 7,000 people in the department surrendered collectively.

Today's Chang'an City still inherits the appearance of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, until the early Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Daxing City, and the Tang Dynasty was renamed Chang'an again, which gave rise to the so-called Chang'an City in later generations.

The area of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty is less than half of that of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but it is already a rare big city in this era, it is also difficult to defend, and there are 300,000 people in the city, once it is besieged, it will not be long before it will run out of food. Therefore, after the fall of Tongguan Dingcheng, Chang'an is a beauty without clothes, anyone can come to ravage and ravage, and the later Tang Chang'an was captured seven times as an emperor in three hundred years, which is a sad past that no capital has ever had, and Xiliang will not be an exception.

Yao Jin was helpless, according to the city to defend is to cut the prison, out of the city field battle is to cut the decision, there is no general who can deal with Yao Ji, and the courtiers have different opinions, some say to abandon the city, some say surrender, some say peace, anyway, no one can solve the current crisis. When he was panicking and at a loss, Anding County Taishou Fuqu Wugu led 15,000 Lu Shuihu to help, Yao Jin said angrily: "The country is difficult to know the loyal ministers, the eighty-seven counties of the six states of Daliang, and there is only one Lu Shuihu who is willing to be ordered to serve the king!" ”

Immediately opened the east gate to welcome Fuqu Wugu into the city, Yao Jin personally went out of the palace to greet him, and after Wen Yan encouraged him, he added the seal of Fuqu Wugu as the history of Liangzhou, and rewarded Lu Shuihu with tens of millions of money. Fuqu Wugu took the initiative to ask for orders to be stationed at Pingshuo Gate, that is, the north gate of Chang'an City, the north gate was facing Weiqiao, and Yao Ji's camp was stationed on the side of Weiqiao.

This is facing the enemy head-on, not afraid of war, and responsible, Yao Jin was greatly relieved and immediately agreed to the invitation. At night, Fuqu Wugu opened the city gate, let Yao Ji enter the city, and led his subordinates to pretend to be defeated. When Yao Jin, who received the news, hurriedly ordered Yao Xin, the commander on the right, to lead 20,000 Yu Duowei to support, he was suddenly cut in from the flank by Fuqu Wugu, and Yao Ji attacked back and forth, Yu Duowei killed 3,000 people, Yao Xin abandoned his weapons and surrendered.

Yao Jin fled from Chang'an in a hurry with only three hundred horses, all the way in a hurry like a lost dog, raising his eyes in the wilderness, there was nowhere to go, and suddenly remembered what Yao Yan told him before he died: When the day comes, remember to find Zhu Zhi...... Liangzhou is the reason why you can save your life......

Zhu Zhi!

But where to find Zhu Zhi now?

Yao Jin gritted his teeth, and finally looked back at the majestic Chang'an City, and said, "Let's go, go to Liangzhou!" ”

From Chang'an to Liangzhou's state of southern Zheng County, there are four roads in total, but all have to pass through eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, respectively, the meridian road, Luogu road, Bao slope road and Chen Cang Road, Chen Cang Road detour is too far, time is too late, Bao slope road is deep and dense, the trek is difficult, although Luogu Road is recent, but several high mountains on the way over are more steep than other roads, especially the eighteen pans and Laojun Ridge near Luogu Pass, have always been called Huangquan, since Yao Liang dominates the pass, isolating the north and south, this road has long been abandoned.

So choose to choose, in fact, there is only the meridian road to go.

For more than 20 consecutive days, it went down the river from the Chang'an River Valley, along Huoditang, Xixiaoling Pass, Ningshan Old Town, Pass and Tangping into Shiquan County, and passed through Qingcao Pass, Cholongya, Yanping, and Lianghekou to Ziwu Town, Xixiang County. When Yao Jin, the gray-faced and dusty lord of Xiliang, saw the Han water, he couldn't help but shed tears on the riverside.

A double-layered bream docked on the north shore of the Han River, a person came out of the bow of the boat, wearing a lotus crown on his head, wearing a wide-sleeved shirt, although he was thin and small, his eyebrows were downturned, but his eyes were as calm as the abyss and the sea, and he smiled slightly: "Lord Yao, Zhu Zhi has been waiting here for many days!" ”
