In less than an hour, Liu Yao led the army of his subordinates, left the Huguan jurisdiction, and went straight to the west. According to the latest information, in the northwest, Gao Yue is besieging Shangqi City with all his might, and the Jin army of Sima Bao's department is still trying its best to resist. Then, that is to say, if the army suddenly returns to attack Chang'an now, there should be no more Qinwang army to come to the rescue quickly.

Liu Yao's heart was moved when he was neutral. Hebei has already come, and the resistance forces of Zhongjin have also eliminated a lot, and Shi Le has also been beaten hard by himself. At present, since there are rare fighters in the West, there is no need to stay here, and it is still necessary to quickly move the army to re-enter Tongguan, and strive to conquer Chang'an and destroy the Jin court in one fell swoop before Gao Yue can no longer free his hand.

So Liu Yao took his men and horses, first returned to Pingyang, the capital division, to replenish the military rations, and invited Liu Cong, the lord of the Han Dynasty, to allocate 30,000 strong soldiers. Subsequently, he commanded an army of 70,000 men, crossed the Yellow River and traveled all the way, arriving at Puban City in early October. The scouts of Chang'an learned the news and hurriedly conveyed it to the imperial court, and the whole court was shocked. Taiwei Suo Qi invited 30,000 generals to go east to meet the battle, hoping to block the enemy from the country. Emperor Sima Ye was still worried in his heart while agreeing, and for the sake of double insurance, after thinking about it, he still sent the lieutenant Tang Ti to send the edict to Gao Yue's army for help.

Let's say that Shangtai was besieged by Gao Yue personally led the army for nearly half a year. In the early days, although the hearts of the people in Shangtai City were floating, the only thing that relied on the city wall was exceptionally tall and wide, which was difficult to attack, and there was a lot of food in the city, so it could barely support it under the crazy offensive of the Qin army. But in front of him, no matter how strong Shangqi was, he couldn't withstand the long-term siege of the Qin army, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore.

And Qi Fuyan, Kuai Laosan and others, who were lurking earlier, didn't want to take action, and they should cooperate with the outside. It's really because it's quite difficult to actually operate. The king of Nanyang is like a frightened bird, at the beginning of the war, he increased the number of guards in the palace, guarding day and night, Qi Fuyan and so on really couldn't start. Because he was originally waiting for the opportunity to move, and it was good to hit the enemy with one blow by grasping the enemy's weak point, but now that he could only face the enemy head-on, Qi Fuyan had no choice but to give an order, and temporarily make a long-term lurking plan, and when the enemy did not slacken, he would rather rest than give away the lives of more than 200 subordinates in the city in vain.

In the past six months, Gao Yue has eliminated everything he wants, and he is determined to attack Shangqi, solve the trouble of his henchmen, and completely pacify Qinzhou. Although the 35,000 men under his command have been reduced to 26,700, the counties in the heart of the land have continuously sent grain, replaced ordnance, medical wounded, and even occasionally sent new troops to replenish their troops.

The main force of the Jin army in the city, from the initial more than 10,000 people, to the present is less than 5,000, although there is still a surplus of food, but the troops are weak and demoralized, and they do not expect any assistance. Sima Bao once sent people out of the city, entered Chang'an City to ask the court for help, and asked the emperor to mediate to let Gao Yue withdraw his troops, but Sima Ye ignored it. Sima Bao begged Chen An again, and Chen An also replied that he was powerless. He also paid a lot of money to bribe Tuyuhun, the leader of Xianbei in Hexi, to send troops to attack Longxi County, but although Tuyuhun was moved, he hesitated again and again, and was still unwilling to take the initiative to wade into troubled waters, and complained to Gao Yue for causing trouble for himself for no reason, and politely declined.

A few days ago, the latest news came from Luoyang, Gao Yue's general Lei Qizhi finally captured Qingshui City, which was defended by Pu Hong, and completely occupied the entire county of Luoyang. Under the cover of thousands of warriors, Pu Hong broke out of the siege and fled all the way east, where he is now nowhere to be found.

When he received the bad news of completely cutting off foreign aid, Sima Bao was in a panic, and immediately killed several eunuchs with his own hands to vent his emotions. Until now, the city is full of gloomy clouds and mist, and it is miserable and panicked. Both inside and outside know that as long as the Qin army works harder, it will probably not be able to keep it.

On this day, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Yuezheng bowed his head and Han Yong and other generals surrounded and discussed, seeking to attack the city with all their might. A guard lifted the curtain and hurriedly came in and said, "My lord, a royal envoy has suddenly come here and wants to meet the lord immediately." ”

Immediately the people in the tent stopped. Gao Yue was a little puzzled, but his face was still unwavering: "Please come in." ”

Zhongguan Tang Ti responded to the voice. Now he is no longer the little eunuch who was weak and cold-eyed. Because he has known Gao Yue for a long time, the relationship is also very good, and the emperor has begun to take care of him slowly, gradually promoted, and now he has made the Yellow Gate Order, and he can be regarded as the leader of the forbidden eunuchs. Tang Lei knew that he could not have today, and he really couldn't do without the big tree of Gao Yue behind him, so even in front of his subordinates, he was majestic, but whenever he saw Gao Yue, he was respectful and polite, and he was extremely enthusiastic and flattering.

But this time, Tang Ti didn't have a lot of good words, he was full of anxiety, came up to greet him a little, and brought heavy news. Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, after the troops went out of Hedong, won one after another, and the momentum was greatly boosted, and now with the power of victory, he suddenly came to the west, and the momentum was fierce and wanted to re-attack Chang'an. The imperial court has sent Suo Taiwei to meet the enemy, but His Majesty is worried, and he also asks the high envoy to work harder, and the king of Qin is thousands of dollars.

On the edict, Sima Ye wrote it in his own hand, but it was sincere and pleading. Gao Yue was about to go all out to defeat Shangqi, but at this juncture, he happened to meet Liu Yao's return, and the emperor asked for help. Go, falling short makes people extremely unwilling; If he doesn't go, he can't explain his conscience and the country's righteousness. This made his head immediately as big as a fight, and he was in a dilemma.

"This ...... When the thieves attacked, I immediately rushed to the rescue of the imperial court. But at present, it is difficult to support Shangqi City, if I withdraw the army and leave, the other generation will resurrect, not only will I lose my previous achievements, but also will shake the heart of the army, and spoil the good situation! ”

Han Yong, Yang Ke, Yang Jiantou and others all looked grim and nodded frequently. Gao Yue glanced at his subordinates helplessly, and stretched out his hands to look at Tang Lei. Tang Lei gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down towards Gao Yue.

"When I was leaving, His Majesty said to me with tears in his eyes: For example, although it is big today, but all directions are watching from the wall, only Gao Qing is loyal and courageous, and he is indomitable. If Gao Qing really can't come to King Qin this time, then the country is in danger, if there is an accident, I should also be martyred, and if Gao Qing wants to see me again in the future, there is no way to see me! ”

Gao Yue motioned to pick up Tang Lei on the left and right, but Tang Lei was reluctant to get up, and said with a crying voice: "Gao Envoy Jun, Your Majesty is bitter!" If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, he wouldn't want the high envoy to go back and forth and fight bloodily. But the country left by the ancestors, no matter what, can't just watch it be ruined, high envoy, for the sake of His Majesty's kindness, just Qin Wang again! ”

As he spoke, Tang was choked up and kowtowed on the ground. Gao Yue hurriedly took two steps over, helped him up, shook his head and sighed: "Tang Zhongguan, as an internal servant, it is rare for you to be so loyal. It can be seen that the heart is social, and it has nothing to do with the status of the high, it just depends on whether there is a Dan heart. If you are like this, how can I be left behind you? ”

Tang Lei raised his head and looked hopefully. Gao Yue's heart was surging, and he nodded and said solemnly: "I was humble, but I have been repeatedly promoted and treated favorably by His Majesty, so I have today." Although the situation here is also extraordinary, no matter what, it is not as important as supporting the society to expel the Hulu. Tang Zhongguan, since Your Majesty has pinned such hopes on me, I have nothing to say, I will personally lead the army and march east to King Qin again! ”

Tang tired and sobbed excitedly, nodding his head busily. Everyone saw that Gao Yue was also so resolute, and it was for such a major event as saving the country, so the words of dissuasion were really unspeakable.

Han Yong stepped forward and said, "My lord, Shangtai City is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The officers and men of our army shed blood and worked hard, and now that victory is in sight, we must not take the initiative to withdraw our troops. If the lord has decided to go to Chang'an, then the military here, his subordinates are willing to do their best to bear it, and they must not give up their achievements. ”

Yang Ke also said: "What General Han said is extremely true. The lord is loyal and diligent, and the world admires him. And just rest assured that our colleagues here will work together to take Shangtai City, and we will not disappoint the lord. ”

Gao Yue was very moved, his tiger eyes were shining, and he said with a resolute face: "In this case, I will personally lead 6,000 men and horses to the east to King Qin." This place should be a major military and political event, and all the people work hard. Do your best for me, and I will be loyal to the country. Let's do our best! ”

He explained the key points a few times, and after being sent off by the civil and military ministers on the spot, he strode out of the account and shouted: "Zhou Panlong, quickly reorganize the army, and follow me to the east to King Qin!" ”
