In the first year of Long'an, in mid-April, under the pressure of internal and external troubles, Yao Hong finally made up his mind to surrender to Hexi.

At dawn, the morning sun had just risen from the east, and outside the west gate of Chang'an, the drumming sounded in the Hexi military camp.

The Hexi soldiers were fully armed and lined up in a neat line, and everyone had an irrepressible smile on their faces.

Most of the guards Shuo were dressed in military uniforms, accompanied by Wang Zhongde, Kang Long, Cui Hong and other civil and military personnel, and came to the gate with laughter and laughter.

Almost at the same moment, the west main gate and side gate of Chang'an City were also opened, and countless figures slowly came out of the city.

The person in front of the head was Yao Hong, the prince of Later Qin, who was holding a table in his hand and holding a jade in his mouth, and was walking towards the camp in Hexi on foot.

At this time, Yao Hong's face was terrified, and even though Wei Shuo personally promised to guarantee his life, he still felt uneasy.

Yao Hong has been familiar with the subset of Han classics and histories since he was a child, and knows that the promises of the victors are the least credible.

It's just that at this point, the fate of his family and country is completely out of his control.

Behind Yao Hong was a large group of Later Qin Wenwu, most of whom were ordinary officials, and the Later Qin clan was almost entirely killed in the turmoil.

These Hou Qin Wenwu were not as restless as Yao Hong, and there was a trace of panic and worry on his face.

However, most of them hunched slightly and smiled flatteringly at the other side.

Seeing Yao Hong and Hou Qin Wenwu cautiously approaching, Wei Shuo's heart fluctuated.

Since Emperor Jin surrendered to the Xiongnu, after nearly a hundred years of wind and rain, Chang'an City was finally recovered by Hexi.

Any Chinese in the future, as long as he mentions Chang'an, will always be inexplicably excited in his heart.

Because, the two greatest dynasties in history, the Han and Tang dynasties, both ruled the world in Chang'an.

This entry seems to be very easy, from February to send troops, but more than a month to the army in Weishui.

Then he fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Hu cavalry in Weinan, and finally annihilated 30,000 Hu cavalry and won a decisive victory.

The victory in Weinan finally made Yao Hong shake his determination to stick to it and made the decision to surrender the city.

It was this decision that not only allowed Hexi to avoid falling into a tragic siege battle, but also saved a lot of time.

The whole process seems to be easy, but it is thanks to the strategic advantages accumulated by Hexi in the past ten years.

Without a series of victories such as the Battle of Shangjun, the Battle of Pingyang, and the Battle of Anding, how could it be possible to raise your hand to destroy Hou Qin?!

Yao Hong came to Wei Shuo and respectfully presented his book, jade seal, classics, and stamps to show his surrender.

Wei Shuo took the surrender table, jade seal and other things, and softly comforted Yao Hong a few words, and the surrender ceremony ended.

He then sent the Hexi army into the city, quickly took over the city's defenses, and restrained the soldiers from plundering the place.

The people of Chang'an, who were originally panicked, saw that the Hexi Army had strict military discipline, and the people's hearts also stabilized.

……

After everything was settled, Wei Shuo and Cui Hong, escorted by hundreds of guards, left the palace and walked to the east of the city.

After walking less than a mile, I came to a temple with three big characters written on the plaque.

Everyone walked inside, and when they arrived at the back meditation room, they saw an old monk with a white beard and white eyebrows and a young monk sitting on a futon.

At this time, the two of them were closing their eyes and entering the meditation, as if they were completely unaware of the fact that everyone was coming in.

Wei Shuo gestured and gently sat down on the futon next to him, while Cui Hong and Kang Long stood behind him.

After a long time, the old monk sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

"Master, you and I meet again."

This old monk is the high monk Kumarosh who left Guzang at the beginning, and he has been promoting Buddhism in Chang'an all these years.

The young monk next to him was Yao Xing, the Heavenly King of Later Qin, no! Now it should be called a walking idiot monk.

Kumarosh nodded slightly at Wei Shuo, closed his eyes again, and went to settle down.

Seeing this, Kang Long frowned, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Dadu Hu waving his hand, he immediately stopped talking.

Wei Shuo didn't care about Kumarosh's attitude, but turned his gaze to Yao Xing next to him.

But seeing Yao Xing dressed as a monk, if it weren't for Wei Shuo's reminder, Cui Hong would never have thought that the monk in front of him was actually Yao Xing, the king of heaven who had killed Fu Deng and was in the limelight.

Later, Wei Shuo stayed in the temple for more than an hour, and told the Heavenly King Yao Xing about the ending of Later Qin.

I don't know if Yao Xing has converted to Buddhism, or in order to avoid suspicion, in short, in the face of Wei Shuo's narration, he ignores it.

In the end, feeling bored, Wei Shuo took people out of the Caotang Temple.

As soon as he came out of the temple, Cui Hong couldn't help but say: "Lord, is this Yao Xingzhen dedicated to Buddha?" Do you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots? ”

Wei Shuo groaned slightly: "I can't tell if it's true or false right now, but there's no need to rush to do it, send someone to watch him first." ”

"That's fine! Anyway, the future is long, as long as we don't make mistakes, a wasted Yao Xing is insignificant. ”

"Yes! Next, the biggest enemy in Hexi was the king of Wei, Tuoba Jue. ”

As soon as Tuoba Jue was mentioned, Wei Shuo couldn't help but think of the situation in Hebei, and he didn't want Hebei to fall into the hands of Wei.

He frowned and asked Cui Hong lightly: "Do you think Tuoba Jue can defeat Hebei?" ”

"Murong Chui, as a monarch who has no ability to help the people in the world, has left a mess of internal and external troubles for future generations."

"Hou Yan began to decline in Murong Chui's old age, and Murong Bao, the heir, was cowardly and incompetent, not only died himself, but also caused the country to fall apart."

"Tuoba Jue's soldiers are brave and brave, and it is only a matter of time before they take advantage of the danger and take Hebei." Cui Hong's expression was solemn, and he groaned for a moment.

In fact, there is no need for Cui Hao to explain it, Wei Shuo also understands in his heart that most of Hebei will not be able to keep it.

"If the Hexi Army goes east out of Taihang Mountain at this time, can it stop the Wei State from swallowing Hebei?"

Cui Hong shook his head slightly and said: "At present, Guanlong has been decided, and the people's hearts are still unstable, so it is not appropriate to rush to Hebei." ”

"Alas, what Uncle Xuan said is very true."

Wei Shuo also felt that he was too anxious, and he didn't feel dumb and smiled.

That night, Wei Shuo held a banquet in the original Hou Qin Palace to celebrate the victory of Guanzhong with a group of civil and military personnel.

At the banquet, everyone, including Wei Shuo, was excited.

Anyone who has a little insight can see what the recovery of Guanzhong means to Hexi.

Not to mention that the world is nine out of ten, at least five or six percent sure.

……

With the fall of Later Qin, the Yan Kingdom was torn apart, and the north officially entered a situation of confrontation between the two heroes.

At the time of Weishuodi's Dingguan, the battle of Hebei had come to an end.

In the first year of Longan, in April, when Hexi would unify Guanlong, Hebei also broke out in a shocking change.

Originally, Dongyan and Wei were friends, but with the fall of Zhongshan, the relationship between the two countries became delicate.

In the battle against Zhongshan, Dongyan did not contribute to the work, and finally only won one county of Gaoyang, and the rest of the prefectures and counties belonged to Wei.

Murong Sheng was very dissatisfied with this, and it happened that at this time, Murong Hui of Northern Yan sent an envoy over, wanting to form an alliance with Eastern Yan to defeat Wei.

Murong Sheng immediately agreed without saying a word, and also pulled Nanyan Murong De.

As everyone knows, Murong De has already had the intention of leaving Hebei, and a large number of materials are being concentrated on the slipway in order to cross the river to the south in the future.

However, Murong De was cunning and cunning, not only did he not disclose his plan to the other two to go south, but also tricked the other party into sending troops.

At this time, with the destruction of Murong Lin's regime, the situation in Hebei gradually became calmer.

However, Youzhou has become in crisis because it has been attacked by the east and north and the north and the south.

Fan Yang Lu Pu was recommended by Zhang Yan and was appointed by Tuoba Jue as the Taishou of Hejian.

However, to the surprise of the outside world, Lu Pu, the new Hejian Taishou, suddenly led his army north to attack the city of Youzhou.

At the same time, Lu Pu also openly accepted the official title of Dongyan and was named the assassin of Youzhou by Murong Sheng.

After Lu Pu's rebellion, Zhang Yan was attacked by many Xianbei nobles, which also caused Tuobaju's dissatisfaction.

When there was a political struggle in the Northern Wei Dynasty for Lu Pu's rebellion, Murong Sheng and Murong Hui seized the opportunity in front of them and sent troops to Youzhou.

At the end of April, after receiving the news of the attack on Youzhou, Tuoba immediately led his army back to Youzhou.

Under Jicheng, Tuoba Jue defeated the Liangyan coalition army, except for a few people such as Murong Hui and Murong Sheng who fled, the rest of the men and horses were captured by the Wei army.

After the victory of Jicheng, Tuoba Jue took advantage of the victory, first recovered Yuyang, and then killed several people of Lu Pu's father and son, and quelled the rebellion.

After stabilizing the situation in Youzhou, Tuoba suddenly led his army south, kicking off the prelude to the destruction of Dongyan.

Due to the loss of the main force of Eastern Yan on the battlefield of Youzhou, the Yan army was unable to block the Wei army's advance at all.

So much so that the Wei army was like playing in the mountains and rivers, and successively recovered Gaoyang, Zhangwu, Bohai, Leling and other eastern coastal counties.

Murong Sheng and Murong Long were finally killed by the Wei army in Xin, so that Dongyan was declared extinct, and Jizhou belonged to Wei.
