Wang Yan took the entire Chang'an region with a storm.

Don't look at what I've said about a dozen chapters, but it's only a few days.

At this time, Li Tang's "inland" has not yet received news.

At that time, the communication equipment was very underdeveloped, and the communication at that time only relied on horseback to transmit books, and there were also flying pigeons to transmit books, and there were also beacon fire messengers.

News didn't spread so quickly.

At that time, the communication equipment was not as developed as the current communication, and now even ordinary people also have mobile phones, which was not possible at that time.

Therefore, the entire Chang'an has fallen into the hands of the Western Shu army, and Li Tang's court still doesn't know the news.

*******

The first person to report that incident to the Xishu court was a man named Xiang Chong.

Xiang Chongyuan was a deputy general of Li Tang Tong's guard Dong Huahe, after the loss of Tongguan, he was forced to surrender to Xishu due to the situation, but he still had a heartfelt heart for Li Tang, because Tong Guan's guard Dong Hua and Li Tang's court were good to him.

After Xiang Chong surrendered to Xishu, when he was fine, he thought: Emperor Li Cunqiao and our lord Dong Huahe used to be good to me, if I am so greedy and afraid of death to surrender to Xishu, I am not enough people!

*******

At this time, he heard the news of the entire fall of the Chang'an region.

After Xiang Chong heard the news, he felt even more guilty in his heart.

Xiang Chongxin said: At this time, I have to at least send a letter to our emperor, and I must at least let the emperor get the news as quickly as possible. If this news is too late for the emperor to get, if Xishu is asked to take down more cities in other places, I will be even more sorry for the emperor!

******

On this day, Xiang Chong slipped out of Tongguan.

After Xiang Chong surrendered to Xishu, Xiao Yingjie, the general of Xishu, made him the head of the grass feeding horses, and let him be in charge of everything in terms of feeding the horses.

this day. He assumed that he had a new mission, and he slipped out of Tongguan.

Because he had the arrows given to him by Xiao Yingjie in his hand, when he walked at various passes, the guards at each pass only asked him a few words, and they didn't stop him much.

How could Xiang Chong have Xiao Yingjie's arrow in his hand?

Isn't he in charge of feeding the horses to one of the heads, and sometimes he is for his "work". He needed to go out, and in order to make it convenient for him to travel, Xiao Yingjie gave him an arrow.

This time, the arrow had a side effect on Xiao Yingjie.

*******

Single-handedly, Xiang Chong.

Xiang rushed out of Tongguan, and he ran away in the direction of Luoyang.

In order to get to Luoyang quickly, he also bought a horse on the road.

******

A few days later, Xiang Chong arrived in Luoyang.

After Xiang Chong arrived in Luoyang, he rushed to Prime Minister Guo Chongtao's house.

He wanted to report the matter to Prime Minister Guo Chongtao first.

He wanted to see the emperor Li Cunxuan, but it was not so easy.

Seeing the emperor Li Cunxuan, you have to be a certain level of people to see it.

See Emperor Li Cunxuan. is a person with a certain level, and he will not be able to see it until the emperor is in the third, sixth, and ninth dynasties.

******

At this time, Guo Chongtao had not yet sent troops to fight Xuzhou.

At this time, Guo Chongtao had just finished breaking the Seven Star Tower.

After Guo Chongtao heard the news that Chang'an had been lost, he didn't dare to slack off, and he hurriedly reported to the emperor Li Cunqiao.

At the same time, the news of the loss of Xuzhou also came.

As mentioned above, the news of the loss of Xuzhou and the news of the loss of Chang'an reached Luoyang almost at the same time.

*******

After Li Cunmiao learned the news of the loss of Xuzhou and Chang'an. He sent Guo Chongtao and Li Siyuan to lead 100,000 troops each, one to recapture Xuzhou, and the other to recapture Chang'an.

How did Li Cunqiao send Guo Chongtao and Li Siyuan. I said it before, so I won't go into detail here.

The book is brief, and it is Li Siyuan who is responsible for retaking Chang'an.

Li Siyuan took Yu Xiaotian and other generals and rushed to the direction of Chang'an with 100,000 soldiers.

******

The book is brief, and Li Siyuan came to Tongguan on this day.

As mentioned above, Tongguan is the throat road from Chang'an to the inland of Li Tang. If you want to regain Chang'an, you must first take Tongguan.

Tongguan has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Otherwise, why did Wang Yan take such a fancy to Tongguan before.

Only by taking Tongguan first, will he Wang Yan rest assured that he will fight Chang'an, Fengxiang, Lingzhou, and Yanzhou. If he didn't take Tongguan first, if Li Tang's reinforcements arrived, it would not be so easy for him to take Chang'an, Fengxiang, Lingzhou, and Yanzhou.

There is another point here, he Wang Yan will take Tongguan first, and he Wang Yan will also block the news from Chang'an, and he can not make the news from Chang'an reach Luoyang too early. If Tongguan is not taken down first, if the news of Chang'an's "tightness" will also spread to Luoyang prematurely, there will be some trouble for him.

*******

That friend said, is there really only one road from Luoyang to Chang'an, Tongguan, can't you go around the road?

For the march at that time, it really didn't work.

If one or two people want to go from Luoyang to Chang'an, it is not impossible to spare a road, but it is not possible for the march.

Because from Luoyang to Chang'an, you need to go through many mountain roads. The mountain roads are very difficult to walk. It's okay to walk one or two people on the mountain road, but you have to carry a lot of grain and grass on the march, and it is very difficult to transport a lot of grain and grass from the mountain road.

******

Let's talk about Li Siyuan alone.

Li Siyuan arrived at the edge of Tongguan, he was worried: Tongguan is a place where a husband and a wife can't open it, and Tongguan is guarded by the famous general Xiao Yingjie in Xishu, how can I get by!

At this time, what made Li Siyuan even more anxious was that he and Guo Chongtao divided the work, Guo Chongtao led 100,000 people to fight Xu Zhihao of Wu State, who had an army of 200,000, and he led 100,000 heat to fight Wang Yan, who only had 100,000 people.

At this time, Li Siyuan was worried.

Li Siyuanxin said: What should I do?
