Due to the loss of Ganyang, Xinjing lost an important barrier to the southwest.

As long as the Hu people go all the way north, it will take five days to go fast, and seven days to the slow.

For this reason, the entire Xinjing entered a state of high alert.

Not only was martial law imposed on the whole city, but the government also forcibly recruited tens of thousands of young men from among the people to help defend the city.

In terms of the high-level military department, the Xie family, who monopolized power, was unable to coordinate the overall situation due to An Guogong's long-term illness.

In the future, Xie Yuheng took his eldest son Xie Changfeng and nephew Xie Changping to fight in Wanzhou, and now among the direct grandchildren of the Xie family, only Xie Changping of the big house and Xie Changyin of the second room are left.

Although the Xie family has other side branches, An Guogong became the patriarch of the Xie family by suppressing and dividing the various side branch families, so he has always been wary of the resurgence of these side branch families to seize power with him.

This makes it possible for not many members of the Xie clan to really stay in the center of power, and the nephew Xie Changping is a relatively rare exception.

An Guogong's real henchmen are all military generals who have been single-handedly promoted and cultivated by him over the years, and what he doesn't believe in the most is his own people.

Now that the second son Xie Yuheng is not here, the sick An Guogong is not at ease to hand over the military power to others, so he has to let Xie Changcheng, the grandson of the weak crown, exercise military affairs on his behalf, and several of his henchmen and staff will assist him in handling military affairs.

Although he only performed military affairs on behalf of his grandfather, Xie Changcheng, who suddenly became the agent of the Xie family, was still excited and began to actively prepare for the war, hoping to leave a good impression on his grandfather.

Just when the whole of New Kyoto was in full swing, as time passed little by little, and soon seven days passed, but the army of the Hu people did not appear.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time, they couldn't help but have some doubts.

Didn't the Hu people plan to attack Xinjing? If it's true, that's a good thing.

However, An Guogong, who was sick, faintly felt that something was wrong.

The Hu people tried their best to take down Ganyang, obviously coming to Xinjing.

The Hu people outside the pass were blocked by the Northwest Army and could not enter, and although the Hu army in the south was strong, it was much smaller than the Han after all, and it was impossible to really kill all the Han people and establish themselves as kings.

Therefore, the best way is to attack the capital.

As long as Xinjing, which is the heart of the Great Wei, falls, and loses the orthodox Zhao royal family and the powerful Xie family, the entire Great Wei will be torn apart and scattered.

If he were a Hu person, he would do the same.

Now that the Hu army has not appeared for a long time, do they want to join up with the 100,000 Hu people in Wanzhou and then attack the city together?

But in doing so, you will miss out on the first move.

After the two Hu armies met, the reinforcements from Wanzhou had already arrived in Xinjing.

Wait a minute, Wanzhou......

An Guogong suddenly sat up from the bed, and his face, which was already a little pale because of his illness, became even more pale at this time.

"Someone...... cough, cough...... Come on...... Ahem......" An Guogong shouted as he coughed.

The butler who was waiting outside immediately ran over and asked, "Master, what's the matter?" ”

"Hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to the military headquarters, ...... cough, cough, cough ......"

"Go and prepare the car, go!

Sir, wait a minute, the carriage will be ready soon. After the housekeeper finished giving instructions to his subordinates, he immediately helped An Guogong to help him get right.

While helping him to calm down, the butler was a little surprised to find that the master's body was shaking constantly, as if he was swinging.

"Are you alright, sir?"

An Guogong did not answer the housekeeper's question, but his face became more ugly.

It wasn't because of illness, but because he had just had a terrible conjecture.

An idea that is enough to ruin their Xie family.

………………

Late that night, more than 200,000 Wei soldiers who had been transferred from Wanzhou were resting in their respective camps.

Days of constant travel had already exhausted the soldiers, and many fell asleep almost as soon as they lay down, and some even began to doze off while eating.

The soldiers were indeed too tired.

Unlike the high-ranking generals, who could ride on horseback, they were all on two legs.

Resting from almost morning to evening, such a high-intensity march is a bit unbearable for not only recruits, but even some veterans who have been in the army for several years.

But there is no way, in order to return to Xinjing as soon as possible, the adults above keep urging the people below to speed up every day, how dare these low-level soldiers like them say anything, they can only move forward desperately.

Many of the soldiers had blisters on the soles of their feet, and it would be even more difficult to walk the next day if they didn't break them at night.

In short, every soldier felt that it was very hard, but he did not dare to complain so as not to be punished.

The only good news is that they are getting closer and closer to Xinjing, and they can get there in five or six days.

But they didn't know that death had crept in.

Just outside the camp where they were connected like long snakes, a large force of men and horses was slowly approaching.

The leader of the army was none other than the Great Prince of Hu, Arobu.

The army he led was also the main force of the hundreds of thousands of Hu troops that captured Ganyang not long ago.

They had been lying in ambush around here for a long time, waiting for the prey in front of them.

An Guogong's terrible conjecture came true, after the Hu people took Ganyang, their primary target was not Xinjing, but the army that came from Wanzhou and was personally led by Xie Yuheng to aid Beijing.

It can be said that from the moment the 100,000 Hu people drove the ordinary people to launch a feint attack on Wanzhou, everything was in the hands of that mysterious Mr. Qiu.

The purpose of launching a feint attack on Wanzhou was to attract and hold back the main force of the Wei army, so that the main force of the Hu army led by the eldest prince could capture Ganyang.

After capturing Ganyang, just when everyone thought that the Hu people would take advantage of the situation to go north to attack Xinjing, the Hu army did not do so, but waited in ambush where the army must pass when returning to Beijing.

Mr. Qiu's real target is this army that hurried from Wanzhou to aid Beijing.

As long as the main force of the Wei army is destroyed, Xinjing, which is only guarded by 100,000 soldiers and horses, is just a bag.

This ring is one ring after another, and it is the seven inches of the Xie family that they can't guard against.

Even An Guogong, who is deep in the city government and has rich experience, is finally one step too late.

Looking at the commander-in-chief's camp where Xie Yuheng was not far away, the eldest prince Alobu showed a bloodthirsty expression, he raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Whoever can take Xie Yuheng's head will reward him with a thousand taels of silver."

Warriors, kill all these dogs for me, kill! ”

With the order of the eldest prince Arobu, hundreds of thousands of Hu people rushed towards the Wei army camp like a boundless wolf pack, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Many of the Wei soldiers who were still asleep had no idea that death was getting closer and closer to them.

This battle was like the last straw that crushed the camel, completely extinguishing the Xie family's hope of making a final comeback.
