Two days later, Li Yan and his entourage came to Guzang, the capital of Nanliang. This Guzang is the Wuwei of later generations, leading seven counties such as Guzang and Xuanwei, with a population of more than 30,000 households.

A few years ago, after the bald Wei Tan called the king of Liang, the capital was moved from Ledu to Guzang, as a large county in Hexi, and now Guzang still cannot recover its former prosperity. In that year, the Qin State besieged Guzang, and the price of grain in the city was 5,000 yuan, and more than 100,000 people starved to death. Most of today's people have been taken captive from other places.

The former Qin Fujian army was defeated in the water, and not long after he returned, he was hanged to death by Yao Chang of the Qiang tribe, and established the Later Qin. Lü Guang led an army of 100,000 who returned victoriously from the attack on the Western Regions and established Houliang and set up the capital Guzang.

But within a few years, Liang was torn apart, first the Southern Liang was separated, and then the Fuqu Department supported Duan Ye as the king of the Northern Liang, and the entire Houliang was left with the capital Guzang and several nearby counties.

During the period of Duan Ye, the king of Northern Liang, Li Wei raised troops and split from Northern Liang, and Fuqu Mengxun killed Duan Ye and established himself as king.

Since then, both Nanliang and Beiliang have regarded the lingering Houliang Guzang as a meat plate and Chinese food in their mouths, and they have sent troops to attack all year round, but no one has been able to succeed in the past few years.

Just when Nanliang and Beiliang took turns attacking Houliang, Yao Xing, the new lord of Later Qin who was far away in Guanzhong, was not idle, and sent Yao Shuode of the clan to lead troops to besiege Guzang, and it didn't take long for Liang Lulong to surrender Houqin.

When the Qin army came, the three Liangs of Hexi asked for surrender, especially the bald Wei Tan of Nanliang, and they had to give way to the Qin army to attack Guzang. Seeing that the meat in his mouth was gone, he simply withdrew the king's name and paid tribute of 30,000 sheep to the Later Qin Dynasty to show his submission. Yao Xing was very happy, rewarded Gu Zang to the bald Wei Tan, and named him the Liangzhou Thorn History.

After the bald Wei Tan got Gu Zang, he immediately rebelled out of the Qin State, although he still worshiped the Qin State on the surface, but the relationship with the Qin State over the years has been in vain.

"Childe, let's spend the night in Guzang tonight." Han Qian was dressed as a caravan guard at the moment, which made Li Yan look at it with a smile.

"Good! Wei Liang, you go to the city to find a secluded place and rest here for the night tonight. Li Yan instructed Wei Liang behind him.

"Yes."

After Wei Liang left, Li Yan dismounted and walked forward slowly.

"Lord Liang, we need to make plans for our next trip."

After escaping from the pursuit of the Huns in the past two days, Liang Xing was much more relaxed, with a faint smile on his face.

"What General Li said is that we will go through Jincheng to Chang'an, go south to Jingxiang, and then go down the river to Jiankang. It's just that the beggar Xianbei tribe of the Qin State is now at war with the Qin State, and we need to be more careful when we go to Jincheng. ”

"Good. According to what Lord Liang said. Rest in Guzang tonight and go to Jincheng early tomorrow morning. Li Yan still agrees with Liang Xing's statement, after all, Liang Xing sent an envoy to the Jin Kingdom many years ago.

Soon, Wei Liang returned.

"General, you're all ready." Wei Liang said on one knee.

"Good. Get up, thank you. We went into town. Li Yan said and led the Jueying towards Guzang City.

This Guzang City is indeed much bigger than Jiuquan City. Li Yan looked at the wide street in front of him, and the people in the city were endless, and sighed in his heart.

Soon Li Yan and his entourage arrived at the inn, which is indeed very secluded, at least no one will disturb it, in order not to attract the attention of others, every place he goes, Li Yan asks to live in a remote place, and never go to a prosperous and lively place.

Zhangye, in the palace of the depressed Mengxun. Looking at the corpse of Tuohemu carried in from the main hall, Frustrated Meng Xun could no longer control his anger.

"Xu Xian, what should you be guilty of?" Frustrated Meng Xun roared at Xu Xian, who was kneeling on the main hall.

Xu Xian's hair turned a lot whiter overnight, and when he heard that the people and horses below Sunset Valley were the auxiliary generals Zang Mozi is Xu Xian was panicked, but he still felt that he was reprimanded by the king at most.

But when he saw the tohemu lying on the ground with a strong crossbow piercing his chest, the whole person panicked.

The leader of the Dragon and Tiger Guards died in his own hands so inexplicably, or indirectly in his own hands, this fierce general who has followed the king for more than ten years died like this, how can the king be spared.

"King Qiyu, the minister Xu Xian has no way to control his subordinates, and he mistakenly killed General Tohemu, so that he made such a heinous mistake, and the minister is guilty. Please, the king, punish you! Xu Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"Reprimand? Xu Xian: Do you say that punishment can bring General Tohemu back to life? He has followed this king for more than ten years, and he has come over many wars, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of my Da Liang Qilian Taishou. Come on, put Xu Xian on death row, and wait for the fate. Frustrated Meng Xun wanted to put Xu Xian to death, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Xian had followed him for nearly ten years, and if he executed him now, he would inevitably be regarded as unkind, so he could only detain Xu Xian first.

After Xu Xian was escorted down, Fuqu Mengxun shouted outside the hall: "Come here, pierce the heart of the thief who committed the rebellion, so as to comfort the spirit of General Hemu in the sky." ”

"Yes. King. ”

Outside the palace, in an open space, dozens of pillars stood on top of it. A man was tied to each pillar.

These people are all people who have laid ambush in Sunset Valley, from Niu San to Wu Chang. None of them missed the net, and all of them were stripped of their shirts and tied up with their backs.

"Spare your life, my lord." Those soldiers who were tied up did not have a piece of good meat whipped on their bodies, they were all carried out by the Dragon and Tiger Guards themselves, and in the face of these sergeants who killed the leader and almost took their lives, how could these Dragon and Tiger Guards not entertain them well.

The sergeant who gave the order came up and shouted, "The king has an order to pierce the hearts of these thieves who have committed rebellion with ten thousand arrows, so as to comfort the spirit of General Hemu in heaven." ”

"Yes!"

Niu Sanyi heard that Frustrated Qu Mengxun was going to pierce his and others with ten thousand arrows, and everyone was stunned.

"Xu Xian, you can't die well." Niu San scolded. If Xu Xian hadn't brought himself to Sunset Valley, he wouldn't have been like this, and now he regrets not being at the beginning.

"Shoot the arrows!" Hundreds of arrows shot at Niu San together, and he was killed instantly after a few screams.

The sergeants who were tied to the pillars were so frightened that many fainted.

Early the next morning, Li Yan took a turn in Guzang City, which was bigger than Jiuquan City, and the city walls were higher and thicker than Jiuquan.

"Childe, let's go."

"Good! It's time to go. Li Yan saw that everyone was already leading the horses and preparing to set off.

Li Yan bought some goods from the merchants of the Western Regions who came and went in the city yesterday and hung them on horseback, since it was a caravan, it had to look like a merchant. A long line attracted the people in the city to stop and watch.
