Chapter 97: The Fall of Chang'an

After solving Li Meng and Wang Fang's team, Pei Qing immediately led the army to aid Chang'an, but as soon as he came to Baling, he met some soldiers who fled, he ordered someone to capture those soldiers and ask carefully, this time I learned that Chang'an had been lost last night, and these soldiers were the original defenders of Chang'an, who ran around after Chang'an was lost, and were bumped into by Pei Qing.

"How so? It's only been a few days? Chang'an still has more than 30,000 troops, even if the enemy army attacks with all its might, it can hold it for ten days and a half months, right? Why did it fall so quickly? Pei Qing's face was full of disbelief, he stared at his red eyes, and asked loudly.

It's no wonder that Pei Qing is so anxious, if he can repel the Xiliang Army this time, his position will definitely be promoted again, and there is also his fiancée Liu Ning, the princess of Wannian, in Chang'an, although this is just a political marriage, but his woman is his, and now because of the fall of Chang'an, they can no longer see each other, although because she is a princess, personal safety basically does not need to be considered, but Pei Qing's heart is still very sad and angry.

I saw the little soldier snorting and said: "General, general, this is all because of Yang Ding's dog thief, he was recruited by Li Dao Guo Yan and secretly opened the city gate to welcome the Xiliang army into the city, which led to the fall of Chang'an." ”

"Yang Ding? I really didn't expect things to be in the hands of a second-rate general, I was really careless, and I lost everything. Pei Qing secretly smiled bitterly, and then asked, "How is Wang Situ?" How is Lu Bu? Also, how is Your Majesty? Do you know all this? ”

When the little soldier heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and he sighed softly: "Wang Situ was killed, even his sons and more than ten people from the clan were also connected, in fact, when the city was broken, General Lu Bu found Wang Situ and wanted to protect him to kill him, but Wang Situ refused, Wang Situ said, if I can rely on the blessing of Sheji and make the country stable, this is my wish, if it can't be realized, I am willing to die to repay the country, such as today's young son, relying on my assistance, if we abandon the Son of Heaven and flee when we are in danger." , I really can't bear it in my heart, and I can't face Pei Qing's entrustment, general, you hurry up, in the future, mobilize more Kanto princes, let them think more about the country, and apologize to Pei Qing at the same time, I have failed his trust, and this debt can only be repaid in the next life. After finishing speaking, Wang Situ protected the Son of Heaven to escape, and was finally killed by Li Dao Guo Yan two thieves, Lu Bu led his soldiers to break out after the city was broken, it is estimated that he should have fled to the direction of Wuguan, he was in a hurry when he fled, and even his family fell in Chang'an, and now it is unknown ...... survival"

When Pei Qing heard this, he immediately sighed and said: "Although Wang Situ is usually a little tyrannical, he is loyal, has a strong temperament, and has great merit in plotting against Dong Zhuo, it is a pity that he was killed today." ”

At this time, I saw two small soldiers in tears, and said to Pei Qing: "Pei Gong, I can only rely on you to avenge Wang Situ, and I also ask Pei Gong to mention the division of tigers and wolves, lead the people to work hard, eliminate the traitors, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and avenge Wang Situ." ”

When Pei Qing heard this, he immediately said, "Aren't the two of you Wang Situ's protégés?" Why are you so obsessed with Wang Situ's hatred? ”

I saw the two little soldiers look at each other, and then I saw one of them say: "Don't hide it from the Metropolitan Governor, the two of us are Wang Situ's subordinates, my name is Wang Chen, this is my brother, named Wang Ling, the word Yanyun, we are hiding and sneaking, and finally got out, the original meaning was to flee back to the state and save our lives, but after all, I was unwilling, so I came to find the Metropolitan Governor, hoping that the Metropolitan Governor could return to Chang'an and make it difficult for the country." ”

Pei Qing pondered for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed: "I can understand your feelings, but you see, there are only thirty or forty thousand remnants under my command, and half of them are Xiliang soldiers who have just surrendered, and it is simply wishful thinking to rely on them to attack Chang'an, in fact, I am more anxious than you, I am the imperial prince, the Son of Heaven and my wife Princess Wannian are trapped in the city, but I am also responsible for these loyal and brave soldiers, so I need to return to Yuzhou, train the army well, and at the same time mobilize the princes of Kwantung to lead the troops to the king together, If you believe me, you will go to Yuzhou with me, at most three years, I will definitely raise troops to kill back to Guanzhong, if you don't believe it, I will not force it, you go back to your state, I will go back to my Yuzhou. ”

When Wang Chen heard this, he was so anxious that tears fell, and he said to Pei Qing: "Pei Gong, in this way, I really don't know how much more poison the people of Guanzhong will suffer?" How many more grievances will the Son of Heaven and the princess suffer? As a royal prince, how can you abandon them? Won't this disappoint all the people of the world? ”

However, Wang Ling opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother, don't persecute Pei Gong so much, in fact, what Pei Gong said makes sense, exchanging a moment of humiliation for the final victory, this is what a hero does. ”

When Wang Chen heard this, he immediately snorted and said unhappily: "You mean that you are willing to follow him to Yuzhou?" Since this is the case, then our brothers will part ways, I want to see if your Pei Gong will lead the army to crusade against Li Guo and the two thieves in three years? ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Chen bowed his hand to Pei Qing and strode away.

"Brother, brother, why are you so impatient?" Wang Ling hurriedly stopped and wanted to call Wang Chen, but he saw Wang Chen and said: "No need to shout anymore, I have made up my mind, if Pei Gong can really lead the army to conquer Chang'an in three years, I will definitely apologize to him in person." ”

"This, this, Pei Gong, my brother is such a person, he is impatient and reckless, Pei Gong must not be like him." Wang Ling was afraid that Pei Qing would blame Wang Chen, so he hurriedly explained for him.

Pei Qing smiled bitterly and sighed: "Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life? I believe that when the truth is revealed, Brother Ling's misunderstanding will be clarified, since Chang'an has been lost, there is no point in us going, let's return to Yuzhou, I don't know if you follow me to Yuzhou, or go with Brother Ling? ”

Wang Ling suddenly arched his hand and said: "The villain believes in Pei Gong, and the villain is willing to return to Yuzhou with Pei Gong." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's go back to Yuzhou, as for Chang'an, I will definitely come back." Pei Qing then ordered the army to bypass Chang'an and go directly to Wuguan.

"Seeing that Chang'an is close at hand, but I can only watch and leave, there are my fiancée Liu Ning, as well as my two friends Cai Yan and Dong Bai, I hope you can be safe, please believe me, I have left you there out of helplessness now, but it won't be long before I will come to pick you up."

Seeing the direction of Chang'an, Pei Qing was in a very complicated mood, and in the end, he remembered Jia Xu again, and said silently: "All this is because of this Jia Xu, if it weren't for him, the ending would probably be rewritten, the poison Jia Xu, sure enough, is worthy of his reputation, I remember you, this time I lost to you, but I believe that next time, you will definitely be defeated by me." ”
