After the Wei army broke and fled, the cadres went to chase and kill, and only a few lonely horses were left on the battlefield, which let out a mournful wail, and the corpses on the battlefield could not see the end at a glance, and the broken flags were planted on the ground and hung weakly, and there were arrows and bloody weapons everywhere.

Zhao Junsheng came to the outside of the Wei army camp with a reserve of 10,000 horses, and at this time the army camp was still fighting, and some Wei troops were still resisting stubbornly.

Lu Shuang walked over with a large number of soldiers and horses escorting the surrendered Wei infantry.

"The king, the last general is back!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and asked, "Lu Shuang, how is the harvest?" ”

Lu Shuang clenched his fists and replied, "King, more than 2,900 people were captured, and basically they didn't run, and the rest of the Wei troops who came to sneak attack were all killed by our army!" By the way, the last general also captured Gao Wende, the defender of Pingliang City! Come on, bring Gao Wende up! ”

A few soldiers escorted a Wei general in his forties who was tied up with flowers.

Zhao Junsheng looked at this person, he was still struggling with his arms tied, and with an angry face, he asked, "You are Pingliang Taishou Gao Wende?" ”

Gao Wende glanced at Zhao Junsheng and snorted coldly, "Rebel and thief, Gao disdains to talk to you!" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

"Hey!" Zhao Jun was very angry, "Someone! ”

Several soldiers stepped forward to hold Gao Wende down, and as long as Zhao Junsheng gave an order, they could draw their swords and behead Gao Wende.

Zhao Junsheng was indeed so angry that he wanted to cut people, and was about to give an order but suddenly changed his mind, "Take strict care of him, and after our army breaks through the city, we will behead this dog official in front of the people of the whole city!" ”

"Yes, King!" Several soldiers escorted Gorvind down.

At this moment, a cavalryman galloped over, shouting "Report-" along the way.

Everywhere he passed, the cadres and generals made way for him, and the cavalry stopped in front of Zhao Junsheng and reported, "King Qiyu, Buliu Guli has fled along the southeast direction with more than 4,000 defeated soldiers!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned when he heard this: "He didn't flee into Pingliang City?" This kid really has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist! In this way, you go back and tell Chang Kun and let him send elite scouts to chase after him and see where they land!" ”

"Yes, King!"

After another half an hour, the fighting in the military village had stopped, and all the Wei troops who resisted were wiped out, and the Buliu Gufu and some Wei army generals and officials who remained in the military village were captured.

When everything in the military village was cleaned up and calm was restored, it was already late afternoon, Zhao Junsheng ordered people to send people to the camp twenty miles away to let Fu Zhan and Liu Xing come to meet with the remaining soldiers and horses and baggage.

Chang Kun also escorted a large number of prisoners back with soldiers and horses at this time, and all the prisoners were concentrated and guarded by heavy soldiers.

Zhao Junsheng sent people to convene the generals and officials of the army to discuss the matter, and these people quickly rushed to the commander's tent.

"Next, we have three things to do: first, clean up the battlefield; second, to find out what was going on inside the city; Third, he can't relax the remnants of Buliu Guli who escaped, and he must send someone to continue to keep an eye on him to see where he went with the remnants of the defeated army! ”

"The cleaning of the battlefield was arranged by Lu Shuang, and Shen Hui was responsible for counting casualties and counting seizures; It is up to Mr. Dongfang to find out the situation in the city, on the one hand, he can interrogate the prisoners, and on the other hand, he can send people to infiltrate the city to investigate; As for tracking down the remnants of Buliu Guli, the scout battalion is in charge for the time being, once the remnants of Buliu Guli are out of the scout camp's reconnaissance range, the black-clothed guards will take over, and Lone must be able to know the movements of Buliu Guli at any time! ”

The ministers and generals who were named stood up together, clasped their fists and promised, "Obey!" ”

There were too many dead and wounded on both sides, and it was not until noon the next day that Lu Shuang, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, took all the remains of the soldiers away with his hands and buried them, and the weapons, bows and arrows left on the battlefield were also collected one by one.

That night, Lu Xuanbo came to report, "King, Buliu Guli went to Chang'an with the remnants of the defeated army, and the last news I received was that they passed through Chencang and went east!" ”

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Is it OK to be sure?" ”

"Sure!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at everyone and said, "What do you think Buliu Guli wants to do when she returns to Chang'an?" Is it to continue to recruit troops to contend with our army? ”

Shen Hui stood up and said, "The king, the minister thought that the days of Buliu Guli returning to Chang'an would not be easy, before he relied on the military force to lead the power of the Wei State, and now he was defeated in the hands of the king, and the troops in his hands are seven or eight out of ten, and the people who stay in Chang'an are afraid that they will have other ideas, whether he can save his life or not!" ”

Zhao Junsheng felt that Shen Hui's words made sense, but the world was impermanent, and no one could predict what would happen tomorrow, so he gave up speculating on what would happen when Buliu Guli returned to Chang'an, and now he still had something to do, which was to take Pingliang City.

Zhao Junsheng asked Dongfang Chen, "Mr. Dongfang, has the situation in Pingliang City been clarified?" ”

Dongfang Chen stood up and replied, "Back to the king, it has basically been checked, the current Pingliang guard will be the third brother of Bu Liu Guli, there were more than 10,000 defenders in Pingliang City, Gao Wende took 5,000 to sneak attack the back of our army, and there are 5,000 foot soldiers left, and there are 2,000 cavalry brought in by Bu 6 Guli, so there are more than 7,000 people in total!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and asked the ministers, "Can you persuade Gao Wende to surrender his old ministry and let his old ministry secretly open the city gate and let our army enter the city?" ”

Dongfang Chen said, "The king, the minister has also thought of this method, but after contacting Gao Wende, he feels that it is basically impossible, this guy is very stubborn, he has always thought that Wei is orthodox, and thinks that my Qianguo is a rebellion, so he refuses to surrender, and he is bent on begging for death, he has not eaten or drunk for the past two days, he is on a hunger strike, and if it goes on like this, he will not live for a few days!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was shocked: "Wei still has such loyal ministers? Is he loyal or foolish? Or is he in a bad brain and has a nervous disorder? ”

Dongfang Chen's face was serious, and he arched his hand and said, "King, loyal ministers are loyal ministers, there is no such thing as foolish loyalty, in the eyes of outsiders, he may be foolish and loyal, and he should not be buried with Wei State, this practice is foolish, and it is not cost-effective to die, but in his opinion, no matter what happens, it is the principle of his life that loyal ministers do not serve the two masters!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a long time, and he said to Shen Hui, "Write a letter of persuasion, and order the scribes to copy hundreds of copies and shoot them into the city with bows and arrows!" ”

Shen Hui promised, "Yes!" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at one of the generals, "General Wang Yu!" ”

"The last general!"

"I heard that you found an underground river when you were digging a tunnel, and the underground river passed through the underground of Pingliang City, is that so?"

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Wang Yu and asked, "Can you dig a tunnel that leads to Pingliang City?" ”

Wang Yu clasped his fists and replied, "King, it should be feasible, but we haven't estimated how high the underground river is from the ground of Pingliang City, even if it is not too high, if you want to dig a tunnel, it may take a lot of time, because it is impossible to dig a straight line from the bottom to the top, you must dig a spiral tunnel!" ”

After listening to this, Zhao Junsheng nodded, "Lone understands, Lone's new task for you is to dig such a tunnel, let's kill into the city from the tunnel!" ”

"The last general commands!" Wang Yu clenched his fists and agreed to turn away.

After hundreds of letters of persuasion were shot into the city, they were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no news, Zhao Junsheng could only pin his hopes on Wang Yu, hoping that he could dig the tunnel without alarming the defenders in the city.

For five days in a row, Wang Yu led his soldiers to dig tunnels in the underground river, and the entire tunnel went up in a spiral shape, until the night of the fifth day, the tunnel was finally dug through.

After the tunnel was dug through, the exit turned out to be in the pigsty of a small courtyard, after a few cadres and soldiers climbed out of the exit, several pigs screamed in fright, and woke up the owner of the small courtyard, when a man came to the pigsty with an oil lamp bare-chested, a snow-bright war knife was on his neck.

"Oh, don't don't, the king spares his life, if there is anything valuable at home, you can take it, go and don't hurt my family!" The man thought that the robbers and bandits had broken in, so he screamed in fright, and he didn't want to think about which robbers dared to come out to work now that the city was patrolling frequently, there were many sentry posts, and the army outside the city was gathered.

The soldier behind him said coldly: "If you say one more word, you will cut off your head!" Say, "Who else is in the house?" ”

"Don't kill, don't kill, there are still old mothers, wives and children at home, a total of four people!"

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

After a while, the family of four was tied up sturdily, and strips of cloth were stuffed in their mouths to prevent them from making a sound.

More than a dozen cadres will come out of the exit of the pigsty and quickly control the entire courtyard.

The camp outside the city.

After Shen Hui received the news that the tunnel had been dug through, he immediately came to the Shuai tent to report to Zhao Junsheng.

"King Qiqi, the tunnel has been dug through, just now!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he immediately asked, "No one has been found at the exit, is it safe?" ”

"Wang Yu sent someone to report that they were in a pigsty in a small courtyard, and they have now controlled a family of four in the small courtyard, and controlled the entire small courtyard, without making a sound!"

Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed: "Good! Well done! Someone came, ordered the whole army to assemble, and ordered the generals of the army and the ministers of the army to come to discuss the matter! ”

Li Yuande, who had experience in drilling tunnels, was once again ordered by Zhao Junsheng to lead 5,000 people from the tunnels into the city for a night attack; Each of the four city gates was blocked by a general with 5,000 men to prevent the defenders from escaping, and Zhao Junsheng and the ministers of the army stayed in the barracks and commanded.

After assigning the task, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Are your respective tasks clear?" ”

"Clear!"

"Okay, let's get going! In short, before dawn, Lone wants to enter the city! ”

"Yes!" The generals clenched their fists in agreement, and turned to leave in turn.

Li Yuande took the original team, and added more than 2,000 people to make up 5,000 people, each of whom carried knives, guns, bows and arrows, and spent an hour and a half to get down the tunnel, and another hour and a half to get out of the exit of the pigsty in the small courtyard in the city.

Under the command of Li Yuande, the 5,000 cadres and generals quickly took control of the two nearby streets, and all the Wei soldiers patrolling and standing guard nearby were killed.

It's time to launch a general attack, Li Yuande quickly issued an attack mission and order, he personally led the team to kill the Taishou Mansion as quickly as possible, and in less than a moment, the entire Pingliang City was in chaos, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.
