The city of Guzang was broken, and the brave cavalry and Modao warriors entered the city, and a one-sided situation was suddenly formed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Where have those Xiliang soldiers seen such fierce infantry, the soldiers of the Modao battalion, each of them is strong, burly and abnormal, and they usually have an extra piece of meat in their meals, and their training intensity is higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the long-handled knives are extremely sharp, they are all made of steel, but the weight is not as heavy as the big knives at that time, which were often fifty or sixty catties, and they cannot be picked up for a long time, and they use the disadvantages of clumsiness.

These Mo knives, each weighing only twenty catties, are shortened by half, and they are faster to wield, more lethal, and indestructible.

The warriors' iron armor also has more pieces of armor than ordinary soldiers, and there is an additional layer of iron mesh armor intertwined with thin chains, which can block certain slashes and spear stabs, and improve defense.

Therefore, in both offensive and defensive aspects, it is beyond the equipment of ordinary soldiers, coupled with personal training, one is five, not a boast, and when he charges, it is like a wolf entering a flock, a burst of slashing, and a bloody road flows.

"Kill—"

This torrent of steel rushed to the Xiliang Palace in the city, and Li Liang and others took the guards to resist in front of the palace gate, but the sound of the whole city fighting, anyone knew in their hearts that the Xiliang regime was gone.

Many Xiliang soldiers surrendered one after another and no longer resisted, because there was no point in fighting to the death, and moreover, Xiliang was established for a short time, and there was no complete legal document, and the people's attachment and support were missing, so these soldiers did not have a sense of belonging, and they would not have the intention of surviving with their family and country.

If this is a court that has existed for decades or a hundred years, and perhaps there are still some loyal and patriotic people who swear to follow him, the current regime of Li Liang is an anti-king force, temporarily gathering a rabble, which has not yet taken root and has not won the hearts of the people, so at a critical time, they have abandoned it one after another.

The main force of the Sui army entered the city and surrounded the walls of the forbidden palace of the palace.

Due to the short time of Xiliang operation here, the so-called forbidden palace of the king of Xiliang is not as majestic and strong as the forbidden palace of Luoyang and Daxing City, and the city wall here is not thick and high, and there is not enough capital to resist.

Xue Wanqian shouted: "The rebels are very good, give you half an hour to consider, whether to open the door and surrender, and when Marshal Luo of our army arrives, immediately launch an attack, and at that time, I don't think there will be any more people alive." ”

After a lot of intimidation, thousands of guards, palace maids, ministers, and Li Liang's family members in the palace turned a little pale, worried that they would be slaughtered.

Liang Shuo, Cao Zhen and the others, their faces were as dead as ashes, and they no longer had hope for Xiliang.

Li Liang himself is also blind, the emperor's dream was shattered in less than a year, and what awaits him will be the punishment of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, the general trend has gone, surrender." Many courtiers were persuaded that they did not want to be buried with them.

Li Liang looked at the faces of these people, disgusted in his heart, he also knew that if he fought to the death, they would all be robbed and die in the chaos, if they surrendered, in addition to the thieves, they would first face execution, but they would not have to suffer, and they would even be reused.

"Your Majesty, if you don't surrender for yourself, you also have to think about the crown prince, princess, and queen mother, as long as you surrender earlier, they can be saved from capital crimes." Some people began to use Li Liang's wife and wife as bargaining chips.

Suddenly, many people knelt on the ground and bowed, begging Li Liang to give up resistance and give everyone a way to live.

Li Liang looked at the courtiers, palace maids, and guards kneeling on the ground, and his heart was sad, he knew that he was isolated and abandoned.

The crown prince Li Boyu cried bitterly, standing here in a daze, neither wanting his father to confess his guilt and being punished, nor wanting himself and his mother to be punished and killed, but unfortunately there is no way to have the best of both worlds.

"Anyway, the rebellion is a road of no return, that day you pushed me for me, today's wealth was given to me by everyone, today, I should return it, if I can exchange my life for your life, it will be worth it." Li Liang sneered, and immediately agreed, opened the city gate, and surrendered to the Sui army.

When Luo Zhaoyun rode into the city and arrived at the Xiliang Forbidden Palace, he saw that the palace gate was opened, and Li Liang had taken off his yellow robe, wore a plain white robe, held a homemade jade seal, and went out of the city to surrender and ask for guilt.

He was followed by a group of civil and military ministers, all of whom came out.

"The criminal Li Rail, led the Xiliang civil and military rebellion, asked the court for guilt, and asked the young marshal to surrender."

Luo Zhaoyun said coldly: "Li Liang, you rebelled in the northwest, disrupted the situation, and victimized the people in the northwest, and the crime is not small, but read your last lesson, know your way back, and take the initiative to surrender, this commander can consider not beheading you to sacrifice the flag, and comfort those soldiers who died in battle, and the people who were oppressed by Xiliang, but how you end up need to be sent by the court on behalf of the king!" ”

"As for the other civil and military generals of Xiliang, they will be temporarily detained and publicized in the city for three days to avenge the grievances of the people. Of course, if it is a talented and virtuous person, and the people petition for forgiveness, Ben Shuai will also be given a light sentence, and even give him a chance to make meritorious contributions to the court. ”

When Li Liang heard that Luo Zhaoyun would not convict and kill him on the spot, he had some hope in his heart, he could not die, of course he did not want to be beheaded, but waiting for the court to convict him was also a long process, and with the court's hatred of the rebels, it may also be more auspicious.

The rest of the Wenchen generals, such as Cao Zhen, Liang Shuo and others, breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, they usually have a good reputation in the city, and they are not worried about being reported and exposed at this moment.

There are also people who usually have a lot of notoriety, but they are a little worried at this time.

When the news spread, the local people immediately shouted, giving them a chance to take revenge and uphold justice, and their impression of the Sui army was greatly changed.

Luo Zhaoyun instructed Xue Wanqian to lead people to detain this group of people in batches, Wenchen and military generals were separated, Li Liang was detained alone, and his family was also isolated.

Guzang City was completely occupied, 20,000 troops were surrendered, clothes and weapons were confiscated, and all of them were escorted out of the city to be stationed, waiting for reorganization.

Chu Suiliang couldn't help but ask: "Young Marshal, what is this Li Liang going to do?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun sighed lightly: "Secretly escorted into Beijing, wait for the imperial court to fall." ”

"It can be sent to Daxing, in order to deter the heroes, the imperial court will definitely not forgive, Li Liang will not escape death!"

"That's his life."

Chu Suiliang suggested: "Young Marshal, if you can keep Li Liang, will it be helpful to conquer Liang Shidu and Xue Ju, so that they can feel the name of benevolence and righteousness, maybe they will not swear to resist to the death and take refuge as soon as possible?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's not proper, since Li Liang is the king, his prestige is still there, if our army continues to advance Longyou and leave him in the northwest, it is not safe, Xiliang will resurrect, even if he goes out with the army, but the old subordinates will still be lucky and refuse to sincerely join our army." ”

Speaking of which, Luo Zhaoyun won't say more, in fact, there is another layer of deep meaning, how the court deals with Li Rail, has nothing to do with him, it's not that he Luo Zhaoyun wants to put Li Rail to death, when the time comes, the hatred of the rebels will also be remembered on the court, borrowing a knife to kill, intensifying the irreconcilable contradictions between those rebels and the court, and waiting for Sui to die, and then change his new benevolent and righteous strategy.
