At this time, Wei Shuo was on a high ground in the distance, and Cui Hao, Zhang Teng, Jiang Ji and other henchmen around him were lined up.

Everyone was condescending, looking at the encircled Hou Qin army, and everyone smiled.

"Hahaha, this battle is thanks to Bo Yuan's clever plan, otherwise it would not be easy to take Yao Pingjun."

"The lord has a good reputation, the minister does not dare to take credit, this battle can kill Yao Ping, it all depends on the wisdom of the lord, and the soldiers of the three armies use their lives."

"You are too modest, if it weren't for you in Shuofang all these years, how could Qin Wei be so honest?"

"Now that Shuo Fang is stable, you can stay there and waste your talents, and when this battle is over, Bo Yuan will go back to Guzang with Shuo."

"The minister obeys the orders of the lord, but ...... After the minister left, who would take over the post of Shuozhou Assassin? ”

"I don't know if Bo Yuan has a candidate?" Wei Shuo asked without answering.

"Hmm~" Cui Hao pondered for a moment and said: "Xihe County is too guarded by Kou Zan, has a moderate demeanor, and is self-denying, which is enough to take on this heavy responsibility." ”

"Fengguo, ......"

Wei Shuo smiled bitterly: "Originally, Shuo intended to promote him to be the assassin of the state after the war, but now it seems that he needs to find another person to merge the state." ”

……

While Wei Shuo and the others were chatting, the war was gradually coming to an end.

The Qin army, which was ambushed by the Hexi army, was killed and cornered by the main general, and more than 10,000 Qin troops were all captured.

Only more than 1,000 Qiang elites, including General An Yuan of the Qin Army and General Lei Chong of Yangwu, were unwilling to surrender and jumped into the Fen River one after another, hoping to survive.

However, these people did not escape the pursuit of the Hexi army, except for some who were drowned.

The rest of the people were all hooked out of the water by the Hexi military long hook, and none of them escaped.

Yao Xing, as well as all the Qin troops on the west bank of the Fen River, watched as their flesh and blood brothers had no way to escape.

Either commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water, or be captured, but the Qin army on the west bank can't do anything about it!

The whole army of the Qin army was grief-stricken because of this, and wept loudly, and the sound shook the valley, and the clouds were dry for several days.

After this battle, the morale of the Qin army quickly declined, and the outcome of the war was irreversible.

As a last resort, Yao Xing had no choice but to lead the remaining 20,000 people to retreat south to Pusaka.

Wei Shuo suffered a lot of losses due to continuous battles, and he was also worried that he would be taken advantage of by Liu Gong after going deep into Hedong, so he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to attack Pusaka.

After this war, the power of the Later Qin State was seriously weakened.

Not long after the end of the Chaibi War, Hou Qin continued to fight in Hexi, and all of them retreated to Guanzhong and the west of the Yellow River.

Later, Yao Xing, the lord of Qin, seemed to have changed since the Battle of Chaibi.

He was no longer the hero he had been, but became a devout Buddhist, studying under Kumarosh.

Later, Qin also declined day by day, and was finally destroyed by Hexi.

After the Battle of Chaibi, Hexi occupied the entire Pingyang County, completely opened the passage from the southwest to Shangdang, and reversed the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.

Next, Hexi completely occupied the initiative, whether it was to continue south to Hedong or east to the party, it was up to Wei Shuo to decide.

……

In the summer of August, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, it is the time of the temple meeting in Chang'an, the visitors are weaving, rubbing shoulders one after another, the voices of the people are boiling, and the excitement is extraordinary.

Caotang Temple was originally a Xiaoyao Garden, after the Western Regions monk Kumarosh arrived in Guanzhong, Yao Chang gave this place to the master.

Kumarosh then lived here, and the grass translated Buddhist scriptures for the hall, from which the temple was named.

The streets and alleys are crowded with people, the shouts of merchants and vendors come and go, and the tourists hug me and crowd me, and they all walk towards the temple.

Suddenly, the crowd ducked in terror and gave way, only to see a few fast horses galloping from a distance.

The rider didn't care about the people in the street, but only whipped his mount and kept speeding towards the palace.

After a while, the rider was gone, leaving nothing but a mess.

When the other Hou Qin Wenwu rushed to the palace hall, the crown prince Yao Hong, the prince Yao Min, the prince Yao Min, the Shang Shuling Yao Huang, the servant Yin Wei and other important ministers had already arrived and were listening to the military reports from the front.

“…… The Hexi army attacked our army before Wenxi, causing a small setback to our army. ”

"And the rear guard Shuo laid a position in Qiaoshan, causing heavy losses to our army......"

"In desperation, His Majesty had no choice but to lead the army west to cross the Fen River to the north."

"After that, His Majesty tried to build a bridge to cross the river several times, but it was broken by the Hexi army."

"Dongping Gong Yao Ping made a desperate bet, but unexpectedly fell into an ambush by the enemy, unfortunately he was killed, and the 20,000 troops in his department were wiped out......"

"Today's situation is urgent, Your Majesty has issued a special decree and ordered the Taiwei Yao Min, Shang Shu Ling Yao Huang, and the servant Yin Wei to temporarily lead the government."

"Huh? Yao Ping's entire army was wiped out? What about Your Majesty? What happened to Your Majesty? Are you also surrounded? ”

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the hall was suddenly buzzing, and except for a few people, the ministers were full of horror.

After a long time, everyone gradually quieted down.

The crown prince Yao Hong said with a calm face: "Today, Pingyang has been defeated, the country is weak and tired, and I hope that all the Qing families will work together to tide over the difficulties." ”

"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we will be loyal to our duties and abide by our duties as courtiers."

Don't look at everyone is busy showing loyalty, but no one knows how many people are loyal to Hou Qin.

After Yao Hong warned everyone, he immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only Yao Huang, Yao Min, and Yin Wei to discuss countermeasures.

Taiwei Yao Min was the first to speak: "Your Highness, at present, our army is newly defeated, morale is low, and there is no danger to defend all the way from Shangjun to Chang'an. ”

"The minister thought that he should order all parties to clear the walls, close the city gates, and prevent the enemy from sneaking up, and then transfer General Yao Shuode to lead the troops into Chang'an, just in case."

"Lord Lieutenant, isn't this a mess? In case it is used by Xiaoxiao, Hou Qin will cause trouble on its own. ”

Yin Wei frowned, bowed slightly, and said: "Lord Shangshu is reasonable, it is indeed not appropriate to make a big move right now." ”

"You must calm down, and when Your Majesty returns to Beijing, everything can be restored to normal."

"You can't ignore that, right? What if the Hexi Army sends troops from Shangjun? Yao Min shouted.

"Impossible! At present, the main force of the Hexi Army is gathered in Bingzhou, and how many troops can be left after excluding the people left behind in various places? ”

The crown prince Yao Hong glanced at Yao Min, turned his head to look at Yin Wei and asked, "What about the meaning of servant shooting?" ”

"For now, when the inside is tight and the outside is loose, don't announce the changes in Pingyang for the time being, everything is as usual."

"Anyway, Your Majesty has withdrawn to Pusaka, and it won't be long before you can return to Beijing."

"Well, it's all up to you." Prince Yao Hong finally said.

……

In the Fengyi County Mansion in Chang'an, as soon as Xue Qiang came back from the palace, he called his son Xue Wei to the study to discuss things.

Xue Qiang is not an ordinary person, he has great ambitions and has a military strategy in mind.

Friendly with Beihai Wang Meng, comrade.

In history, he successively went through Shihu, Fu Jian, Yao Chang and other gentlemen, and lived for a total of 98 years.

Seeing Yao Xing's defeat in Pingyang today, Xue Qiang realized that Later Qin was not far from the death of the country.

For the future, he is ready to send his son back to his hometown in Fenyin, Hedong.

"What? The father plans to let the child return to Hedong? Why? Xue Bian's face was puzzled.

"Alas, Your Majesty was defeated in Pingyang, and Hou Qin has completely lost the opportunity to dominate the world."

"My Xue family is not a Qiang person, is it possible that you want to stay in Guanzhong and be buried with Hou Qin?"

"What?! Is Your Majesty really defeated? Hearing this, Xue Wei was shocked.

"Yes, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government have received an urgent report, but it has not yet been announced to the public."

Xue Qiang said to his son: "Fenyin is the foundation of my Xue family, and there are still three Xue disciples. ”

"After you arrived, immediately organize everyone, rely on Xue Bi to hold on, and wait for the times to change."

"If you really can't hold on, you will unite with Hedong Taishou Liu Gong to fight against Hexi."

"Please rest assured father, the child will definitely hold Xue Bi and never let the Hexi army break through."

"Alas, if most of the protectors don't adhere to the uniform field system, we can take advantage of the situation to descend to Fenyin."

Xue Qiang wanted his son Xue Wei to unite with Liu Gong when things were wrong, but he didn't know that Liu Gong was also panicking all day long.

The building near the water got the moon first, and Liu Gong learned the result of the Pingyang battle for the first time, as if he had been hit on the head.

At the beginning, he would rather choose to take refuge in Hou Qin than ask for help from Hexi, precisely because he was not used to what Hexi did.

As a result, he didn't expect that after a few days of stability, Hou Qin was defeated in Pingyang, which also made him lose his confidence in competing with Hexi.

In desperation, Liu Gong prepared to surrender to the Eastern Jin Dynasty after Yao Xing withdrew his troops back to Guanzhong.

In his opinion, the only way to keep one acre and three points of land in Hedong is the Southern Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
