"In the west, Beigong Chun led 20,000 foot cavalry coalition troops in Yumei to defeat the 60,000 Hu coalition army of Guishan King Juqu Zhi, and with the power of this great victory, Beigong Chun ordered the Quartet: All Hu Lufan attached to the king of Nanyang to destroy the clan! As soon as this order came out, the whole Guanzhong was terrified, and the tribes such as Di, Qiang, Xianbei, Qianghu, and Xiongnu all changed their banners one after another, and donated a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock to show their sincerity. ”

"To the north, Liu Yao's troops have captured Fufeng Zhizhi Yixian, and now the troops are pointing directly at Meiyang and Wugong, and the west is less than 100 miles away from Chang'an, and the generals will come to the city on the fifth day at most."

"To the east, the striker of Mao Baobu has appeared on the shore of Bashui, and it is possible to hit Chang'an at any time, and it is also possible to go south to Lantian and Yaoguan."

The entire hall was silent, only Yang Man's voice floated in the air, and the others, including Sima Bao, were all pale and looked like mourners.

Sima Bao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but say: "Beigong Chunyuan is a famous general in Liangzhou, and it's okay to have this ability, but why are these Liu Yao and Mao Bao so powerful?" I heard that they are only twenty or thirty years old, and they are so powerful! ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know, that Liu Yao and Mao Bao are Wei Shuo's henchmen and generals. I heard that when Liu Yao first entered Liaodong, he was appreciated by General Zhenbei, and then forcibly stayed in Liaodong. As a result, for so many years, he has followed Wei Shuo around, fought in the south and the north, and made great contributions! ”

And that Mao Bao is said to have been originally from the Central Plains, and later due to the outbreak of Hu trouble, he had to lead his clan to move to Jiangzuo. Later, he was harassed in the mansion of Wang Dun, the general of Zhendong, and happened to meet the general Zhenbei who reported to Jianye. Finally, after arriving in Liaodong, he made many military exploits and soon became a general on the same level as Liu Yao! ”

"Everyone says that Weizhen Arctic is good at knowing and employing people, which can be seen from Liu Yao and Mao Bao!"

Speaking of this, Yang Man's voice changed, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Your Majesty, at present, the main force of our army is compressed in Chang'an, and it cannot be bombed, except for the south, there are Liaodong troops intercepting it in other directions. But to the south is the endless Qinling Mountains, in addition to passing through Lantian Pass, Yaoguan, Wuguan can escape to Sizhou, unless you grow wings and fly over, otherwise you will wait to be surrounded by Liaodong and annihilated! ”

"So Chang'an is not saved? Why don't we flee south into Sizhou? ”

Sima Bao looked at Yang Man with a decadent face full of hope, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Majesty, Sizhou Mu Li Ju is an ally of Liaodong, even if we escape to Sizhou, what can we do? What's more, Mao Baotong's army is eyeing the flank, as long as I wait for Chang'an, he will definitely send cavalry to pursue. When you encounter the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in the wild, who of you is sure to win the battle? ”

"At present, the pure forces of the Northeast Liao Palace have attacked the western part of Yongzhou, cutting off the connection between Yongzhou and Qin, making it impossible for the Hu people in Qinzhou to support Chang'an. Then Wei Zhenbei personally sat in Dali, and the governor Liu Yao and Mao Bao attacked Chang'an on both sides, unless a miracle happens, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape this time! ”

"Alas, it would be nice if Fu Hong, Yang Nandi, and Yang Jiantou could lead the elite of the Di clan east out of Longshan and defeat Beigong Chun!"

"Humph! Don't mention the Di people again, before Juqu knew that there were 60,000 Hu cavalry under his command who couldn't defeat Beigong Chun, even if the Qinzhou Di people crossed Longshan, what could they do? ”

Many people here have a deep grudge against the Di people, and they all think that the Di people are too useless, otherwise everyone would not be trapped in Chang'an.

Seeing that everyone was sad, sitting on the dragon chair, Sima Bao was a little uncontrollable and said, "This ...... How good is that? ”

Yang Man pondered for a long time before he slowly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the only way to fight to the death is to fight to the death!" Please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to recruit young people in Chang'an to join the army, and then gather all the soldiers in Shiping's domestic counties to Chang'an, as long as Liaodong can't take Chang'an, Your Majesty will have the opportunity to bargain with Liaodong! ”

"Good! Just according to Yang Qing's words! It was only then that Sima Bao's face looked slightly better.

In the next few days, Yang Man, Zhang Chun, Yang Ci and others personally supervised the dispatch of the formation, mixing about 30,000 young men in Chang'an City with 50,000 elite Qinzhou soldiers, plus the county soldiers from Shiping, and made up 90,000 troops and stationed them on various city walls in Chang'an.

Just as the Liaodong Army was gradually approaching Chang'an, except for Da Situ Liangfen, all parties in Chang'an City had become panicked. Many clever people saw that Sima Bao was about to be defeated, and they were unwilling to be defeated with him, so they tried their best to get in touch with Liaodong.

So after Sima Bao entered Chang'an, the Liang Mansion, which became deserted in front of the door, was once again busy, and many people expressed their loyalty to Liaodong openly and secretly in the name of visiting Lord Situ.

Situ Liangfen was obviously unprepared for this, and in the face of inquiries from all sides, without Wei Shuo's consent, he could only appease him with false words, but could not give any substantive promises. Fortunately, Liang Fen is cunning and cunning, and his performance has not been debunked by outsiders.

"Hehe, tsk! Now that I have opened my eyes, no wonder the general of Zhenbei will leave Master Situ in Chang'an, no wonder everyone says that there is no vanity under the fame! The boss is really beyond people's reach in terms of insight into people's hearts. ”

Pei Xu, who has been hiding in the Liang Mansion, has seen Liang Fen's performance in the past few days, and he is really eye-opening and admired.

"Hehe, Zizhen is too famous! There are just some grass on the wall in front of you, where is there any knowledge, and it is not easy to fool around? ”

"I heard that the old man had a deep conversation with General Zhenbei in the mansion, I don't know how he is?"

"Well, how do you say that...... Wei Zhenbei's ambition is no less than Wei Wu and Jinxuan, but his means and abilities are far beyond the two of them, and his future achievements are limitless! ”

"Really...... It's true! Pei Xu didn't expect Liang Fen to speak so highly of Wei Shuo.

"You just look at Wei Zhenbei's methods of rectifying the family, you can know that it is much stronger than Wei Wujin Xuan. Emperor Wu of Wei only forcibly suppressed the family while he was alive, and as a result, as soon as he died, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, compromised with the family. The three generations of Jin Xuan's ancestors and grandchildren all relied on the family to succeed, and everything in the Great Jin Dynasty was controlled by the family. ”

"But since the north of Wei Zhenbei rose on the shore of Laoshan Mountain, the family was greatly restricted and suppressed under the rule of Liaodong, and it was no longer as strong as it had been since the end of the Han Dynasty. It is said that those who oppose the family should not have good results, but Wei Zhenbei is not only living well, but Liaodong is getting stronger and stronger, and there are gradually signs of unifying the world. ”

"Well, the old man has a point! The various policies implemented by Wei Zhenbei have also been heard of in Xiaxia, whether it is through the Juntian system, the slave release order to restrict the economic privileges of the family, or through the imperial examination system to limit the political privileges of the family, all of which greatly limit the expansion of the family in Liaodong. ”

"Isn't it! If Emperor Wu of Wei had proposed not only a meritocracy order, but a imperial examination system, then the Wei Guozuo would have only been passed down for a few decades. ”

……

In the sixth year of Jianxing, on the night of April 17, a rapid sound of horses' hooves broke the tranquility of Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, 60,000 Liaodong soldiers are divided into east and west, among which Liu Yao's department is connected to Meiyang, Wugong, Shiping Zhisuo Huaili and other cities, and its vanguard has entered Shiping City, which is less than ten miles away from Chang'an City! And the East Road Mao Bao Department has now gone straight to Lantian, Yaoguan, and Wuguan along Bashui to the south, and it seems that the Liaodong military wants to completely close the connection between Chang'an and the surrounding areas. ”

This news exploded in the minds of everyone in Qinzhou like a huge thunder, and even Yang Man, who had always been very calm, was shocked, and if Lantian Pass and Yaoguan were lost, Chang'an would completely lose contact with the outside world.

"Wei Zhenbei, this is going to serve us in a pot!" Sima Bao muttered to himself.

"According to the scout's report, the banner of the general of Zhenbei, who has not been seen, appeared in Bacheng yesterday evening!"

"Wow!" Sure enough, it was the shadow of the famous tree, but it was just Wei Shuo's banner, which made the generals of the Qinzhou department feel a huge pressure rushing to their faces. Over the years, Wei Shuo has conquered Xianbei in the east, conquered the Xiongnu in the north, conquered the Xiongnu in the west, defeated and supported the south in the south.

"Wei Zhenbei personally sits in charge, who dares not to do their best in the various departments of the Liaodong Army? Looks like I'm really waiting for the catastrophe! ”

"Yang Qing, what should I do?" Sima Bao asked with a sad face.

"The minister is helpless!" Yang Man sighed deeply, and finally said helplessly.

In the face of the Liaodong Army, which came in a dignified manner and could not retreat from the enemy by conspiracy and trickery, no matter how resourceful Yang Man was, he couldn't think of any way to solve the dilemma.

The next day, in the afternoon, the main force of Liu Yao's division of the Liaodong Army arrived at the city of Chang'an, and soon surrounded Chang'an. (To be continued.) )
