But it was said that the hundreds of Qiang soldiers who escaped, led by a hundred households named Zadal, rushed all the way to the western capital. The city guards of the Western Capital City interrogated carefully, and when they saw that the situation was urgent, they did not dare to slack off, and took Zadal to the big tent of Beigong Boyu.

Zadal entered the big tent, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Big leader, the big thing is not good, all the Qiang soldiers are dead, Li ...... Li Wenhou, Leader Li surrendered to the enemy......"

Beigong Boyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, strode over, lifted Zadal up, and shouted: "You give the old . The son made it clear, what Qiang soldiers are all dead? What led Li to the enemy? ”

Zadal trembled and told Beigong Boyu about the defeat of the Qiang soldiers at Changning Beach, and of course he also said about Li Wenhou's defeat and capture.

After hearing this, Beigong Boyu's face was like ashes, and he muttered to himself: "It's over...... It's all over...... Did even Li Wenhou defect to the enemy? Immediately, he yelled at Zadal: "How many Han soldiers are there this time? Can you see the banner of the Han army clearly? How many of you have returned? ”

Zadal hurriedly replied: "Big leader, the Han army is about 10,000 or 20,000 people, and there is a "Li" character on the handsome flag of the Han army, we ...... We fled back five or six hundred people......"

Beigong Boyu waved his hand and let Zadal go down. Beigong Boyu ordered the deputy to discuss the big tent in the future, Bukuru received the order, and immediately came to the big tent, seeing that Beigong Boyu's face was not good, he said respectfully: "Big boss, but...... But Leader Li lost the battle? ”

Beigong Boyu told Zadal's words to Bukuru, Bukuru listened, was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and said: "Big leader, if Boss Li really surrenders to the enemy, it is really a big deal, Boss Li knows the grain and grass soldiers in my western capital city well, how is this good?" ”

Beigong Boyu shouted in a deep voice: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Hurry up and find a way, if you can't think of it, this leader will be the first to kill you first! ”

Bukuru even claimed that it was, and began to scratch his ears and cheeks to find a way, Beigong Boyu was also as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the two racked their brains to think of a way.

But said that after the time, Li Wenhou drank in a daze and went to rest in the tent of the Han military camp, and at about the end of the day, Li Wenhou was awakened by a soak of urine, and just wanted to go to the convenience. But he heard a few faint sounds coming from the camp next door, and Li Wenhou quietly approached his camp.

I only heard one person say with a smile, "Bo Miao, this time thanks to the news that Beigong Boyu passed on to us, otherwise how could our army defeat the Qiang soldiers, Beigong Boyu also wants to borrow our hands to get rid of Li Wenhou." Fortunately, the lord cherishes talents, so he spared Li Wenhou's life! ”

The other person continued: "Wen Yuan, you don't know this, Beigong Boyu has already taken refuge in the lord, and the lord has agreed, and after the matter is completed, he will show the court that Beigong Boyu is the king of Qiang and the Taishou of Xiping County." Originally, the lord wanted to leave Li Wenhou under the tent to listen to it, but in desperation, Beigong Boyu said that he would personally kill Li Wenhou. The lord is also in a dilemma! I also heard that Beigong Boyu fell in love with Li Wenhou's beautiful wife and concubine, so he wanted to kill Li Wenhou! Oops, Wenyuan, it's too bad, be careful that the wall has ears! ”

Li Wenhou listened to the words of the two, and was shocked and angry, you Beigong Boyu, just betray me, and dare to beat my wife and concubine, I, Li Wenhou, vowed to kill your whole family and rob your wife and concubine. Li Wenhou is no longer sleepy, thinking about how to take revenge over and over again. Before the hour, Li Wenhou said goodbye to Li Mu, and Li Mu naturally kept him warmly. Li Wenhou said with a firm attitude, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, he wanted to return to the Western Capital as soon as possible, and Li Mu no longer kept it, but only gave Li Wenhou some gold and silver treasures.

Li Wenhou left Changning Beach, took hundreds of guards, and ran wildly all the way, for fear that Li Mu would regret it. About three quarters of an hour, Li Wenhou came to the western capital, and the city guards did not dare to slack off, and personally welcomed Li Wenhou into the city. Li Wenhou also knew that his descendants of the Qiang soldiers had died, and now was not the time to seek revenge on Beigong Boyu, but also to find a foolproof opportunity. Beigong Boyu was also shocked when he received the news of Li Wenhou's return, so he discussed it with Bukuru.

Li Wenhou went straight to Beigong Boyu's tent, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he said with a sad expression: "Beigong, I was wrong, I really regret not listening to your good words at the beginning!" ”

Beigong Boyu was stunned, and said in his heart: Acting, right! Beigong Boyu hurriedly helped Li Wenhou to sit down, poured a bowl of wine, and said, "Old Li...... Alas! That's it, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, I don't know how you came back, Lao Li? ”

If he hadn't heard the conversation between the two Han army generals, Li Wenhou would definitely tell Beigong Boyu about his deception. Now, that's impossible, Li Wenhou said with a sad expression: "Beigong, originally the Han army sent five hundred people to escort us to Anyi City, but on the way, we took the Han army and didn't pay attention, killed the Han army, robbed the horse, and then ran back, I almost didn't see my good brother in Beigong." ”

Beigong Boyu sneered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Lao Li, you are a great disaster and you will have a blessing if you don't die, we can guard the Western Capital with peace of mind, no matter how powerful the Han army is, it will not be able to fly into the Western Capital." Subsequently, the two people with their own ghosts, some talked and laughed, drank wine and ate meat, but they also looked like brothers.

Li Mu rested for two days at Changning Beach, then led 12,000 Han troops to the east and entered the western capital. Li Mu wants to implement the plan of 'anti-guest-oriented' to the end, that is, to put pressure on Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, so that the two of them can turn against each other as soon as possible. For more than an hour, the Han army came to twenty miles from the east gate of the western capital, set up camp, and buried the pot to make rice. In the next three days, Li Mu sent Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Fu Yan and others to call for battle in turn, but the Qiang soldiers did not move.

Li Mu was not angry, and advanced the Han army camp ten miles forward, and camped at the east gate and south gate of the western capital respectively. Li Mu ordered the Han army to dig ditches along the four walls of the western capital, but the Qiang soldiers' bows and arrows could not be shot, so they could only watch the Han army. What makes the Qiang soldiers worse than death is that the Han army will shout and attack the city from time to time every day, but if they don't come to the real siege, the Qiang soldiers on the city wall are about to be tortured by the Han army with a nervous breakdown. Finally, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou couldn't sit still, and the two discussed and decided to defend the city with one and fight the other. However, the two had different hearts, fearing that the person defending the city would dedicate the city to the Han army. In the end, the two decided to go out of the city from the east gate and the south gate at the same time to face the Han army.

If there were many Qiang soldiers out of the city, the Han army would run back to the camp, and the Qiang soldiers would only leave a few hundred corpses in front of the Han army's camp. If there were few Qiang soldiers out of the city, the Han army would catch up with Beigong Boyu's people and hit them fiercely, but they were quite polite to Li Wenhou's people and just drove them away.

In such three days, the minds of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were completely clear. What Beigong Boyu thought was that Li Wenhou had really surrendered to the Han army. What Li Wenhou thought was that Beigong Boyu disregarded the lives of the Qiang people in order to be the king of Qiang. What made Beigong Boyu resentful was that many Qiang soldiers threw themselves under Li Wenhou's account, because the Han army did not kill Li Wenhou's soldiers.

Finally, the Qiang soldiers survived for eight days and came to the time agreed by Li Mu and Li Wenhou. From the evening onwards, the Han army never came to attack the city again. As soon as the time passed, Li Mu ordered 400 Han army death squads to climb the city wall from the east and south with ropes respectively, and first opened the east gate and the south gate to welcome the army into the city. Li Mu asked Deng Zhi to lead 2,000 Han troops to guard the camp at the east and south gates; ordered Jiang Wei to lead an army of 2,000 troops at the west gate of the western capital; Ling Dian Wei led an army of 2,000 troops at the north gate of the western capital; ordered Zhang Liao and Wang Ping to lead an army of 3,000 to enter from the south gate; Li Mu and Fu Yan led an army of 3,000 to enter from the east gate.

About two quarters of an hour, four hundred Han army death squads, taking advantage of the night, quietly climbed to the east and south gates of the western capital, and then opened the east and south gates. It turned out that the Qiang soldiers were tortured by the Han army for eight days and nights, and after several hours tonight, the Han army did not come to attack the city, and the Han army camp was also pitch black. The Qiang soldiers had long slept like dead pigs.

Li Mu and Zhang Liao saw that the city gate was wide open, and led the Han army to rush in from the east gate and the south gate respectively. In an instant, the east and south sides of the western capital were in flames, and the screams and screams of the Qiang soldiers resounded in the sky. While slashing people, the Han army shouted, "Beigong Boyu has defected to the Han army, and the Qiang soldiers who killed Li Wenhou can avoid death!" "Li Wenhou has surrendered to the Han army, and the Qiang soldiers of Beigong Boyu will be spared!" ”。 When the Qiang soldiers of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou heard this, in order to survive, they immediately killed each other, but the Han army ignored it, taking advantage of the chaos, and rushed forward with a few knives.

However, they said that Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were resting in their respective military camps, and when they heard their subordinates report that the Han army had broken through the east gate and the south gate, the two of them were shocked, and at the same time thought that it must be the other party's people who opened the city gate and let the Han army enter the city. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou hurriedly dressed and got on their horses and headed towards each other's military camp. As soon as the two Qiang soldiers met, they did not answer, and began to fight. Li Wenhou opened a bloody road, came to Beigong Boyu, and slashed at Beigong Boyu with the long knife in his hand, Beigong Boyu was also angry, waving the long knife in his hand to kill Li Wenhou, the two fought for fifty rounds, and Li Wenhou cut off Beigong Boyu's arm with a knife.

Li Wenhou was about to kill Beigong Boyu with a knife, but he saw that the Han army not far behind him rushed over, and the Han army shouted, "Kill Beigong Boyu!" Kill Li Wenhou! ”。 Only then did Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu know that the two of them had fallen for Li Mu's counter-plot. Li Wenhou hurriedly beat his horse and ran towards the west gate, and Beigong Boyu was picked up by the deputy general Bukuru, and the two rode together and ran towards the north gate. Li Mu led the army towards Beigong Boyu, and Zhang Liao ran towards Li Wenhou. Fu Tong and Wang Ping stayed in the city and continued to hunt down the fleeing Han army.

But it was said that Beigong Boyu and Bukuru went out of the north gate, and ran wildly for more than ten miles, and suddenly, a Biao Han army rushed over, and everywhere they went, the Qiang soldiers were killed and wounded. These Qiang soldiers were so frightened that they scattered in all directions, and Dian Wei ordered the Han army to disperse the formation and chase after the Qiang soldiers. Dian Wei saw that the Qiang man in front of him was an officer, and there was another person immediately, and he thought in his heart that he must be some important person in the Qiang soldiers. Dian Wei raised his horse and whipped his horse, chasing Bukuru in front of him and killing him, only to see that there were fewer and fewer Qiang soldiers and guards around Bukuru, and the distance between Dian Wei and him was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, Bukuru felt a cold wind in the back of his head, and before he could bow his head, a human head hung from the iron halberd in Dian Wei's right hand. Dian Wei grabbed the horse running in front of him, only to see that a corpse, a man with a missing arm fell from the horse, Dian Wei ordered the guards to tie up the person and send him back to the city for the time being. Dian Wei continued to lead his army to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers.

However, he said that Li Wenhou went out of the West Gate and ran wildly for more than ten miles. Suddenly, a Han army blocked the way, Jiang Wei borrowed the light of the torch and said with a smile: "Leader Li, let's meet again, dismount and surrender, and leave your whole body, otherwise, you will be beheaded in a different place!" ”

Li Wenhou scolded angrily: "The Han army rats, with conspiracy and tricks, what kind of ability is it, you have the ability to fight with your grandfather for three hundred rounds!" ”

Jiang Wei shouted in a deep voice: "Okay! Jiang Wei had decided to kill the killing intent in his heart, and the spear in his hand was like a pear flower, just like a dragon, less than ten rounds, Jiang Wei swept a shot to Li Wenhou's waist, and when Li Wenhou reacted, he had fallen under the horse, Jiang Wei stabbed Li Wenhou's thigh with a shot, and Li Wenhou hissed and howled in pain. When the Qiang soldiers saw the appearance of the leader, some of them dismounted and shouted for their lives, and some fled in all directions. Jiang Wei ordered the Han army to continue to pursue and kill the fleeing Qiang soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered the Han army to bring those Qiang soldiers back to the city.

The campaign against the western capital began in the time of the child and ended in the hour of the hour. In this battle, the Han army suffered more than 2,400 casualties; beheaded more than 23,000 Qiang soldiers; captured more than 4,000 Qiang soldiers; More than 40,000 horses were seized, and money, food, and ordnance were not counted! Li Mu ordered that all the Qiang captives be beheaded for public display!

Li Mu looked at Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Disloyal and unrighteous traitors, damn it!" Kill all the families of these two! Summoned the order, brought the two to the entrance of the South Gate Vegetable Market, and Ling Chi was executed! Put someone’s head on a spike! Keep the head, it's still useful! Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu shouted and scolded, and were dragged out by the Han army like a dead dog!

Li Mu ordered that all the young and strong Qiang people in the western capital be executed, and all the children who were taller than the wheels in the Qiang people would be executed!

Li Mu ordered the army to rest for two days and continue to march west to Huangyuan!
