Chapter 214: Breaking Chang'an's Living Sacrifice Brother
"Uncle, Liu Zhang's army has attacked the city!" When Liu Zhang waved his army to Chang'an, Li Xian immediately found Li Dao.
"Is it finally here?" Li Wei smiled: "Go!" Call Li Huan, Li Li, and Li Shi, I have something to order! ”
"Yes!" Li Xian immediately went down to give the order, and Li Huan and the others arrived soon.
Li Dao glanced at everyone: "Liu Zhang finally can't help but attack the city, what do you think?" ”
"I listen to my brother!" Li Huan has always regarded Li Dao as the leader, and he will never oppose Li Dao's opinion.
"It's... Let's run! "Li Li and Li Shi are both cowardly and incompetent, and their first reaction is to run away.
"I... Run! Seeing that Li Huan and the others had no intention of fighting, Li Xian looked helpless. He originally wanted to make a big move, but now that everyone wants to escape, he can't oppose it, so as not to be used as cannon fodder by Li Wei.
"Good! Put these on, and when the city is broken, we'll get through in the dark! Seeing this, Li Wei was very satisfied, and he ordered someone to bring several sets of pawn costumes for Li Xian and the others to wear.
"Uncle, this is too frustrating!" Li Xian finally couldn't help but say: "We have Chang'an Jiancheng, this hasn't been fought yet, why do you admit defeat!" ”
"Hit? Why fight? Li Dao said angrily: "I have 200,000 troops, none of which are Liu Zhang's opponents, and now there are only 20,000!" Is it just the people? If you want to fight, I'll leave all the troops to you, and you can take command! ”
"I..." Li Xian really wanted to accept it, but he was no longer the reckless young man he was originally, he knew that Li Dao wanted to find someone to die in his place, so he stopped talking and silently put on the clothes of a pawn.
"Humph!" Li Wei snorted coldly and stopped talking. After everyone finished changing their clothes, Li Wei led everyone to the north gate, and just waited for the moment when the city was broken, and then they went out of the city.
With a loud bang, the four gates of Chang'an were broken at the same time, not that Liu Zhang's corporal was brave, but that the people defending the city were already starving. As for Li Wei's corporals, there are only 20,000 people, what can they do?
"Let's go!" As soon as the city gate was broken, Li Dao led everyone to rush out of the city.
Liu Zhang was on his horse, and suddenly saw someone coming out of the city, although there were only three or five people, but the combat power could not be underestimated. He immediately called Dian Wei and said, "Old Dian, go and arrest those people for me!" ”
"Yes!" Dian Wei slapped his horse forward and rushed straight at Li Dao and the others. After a while, Li Huan, Li Li, and Li Xian were all captured.
"Who are you?" Liu Zhang didn't know Li Huan and Li Li, as for Li Xian, although Liu Zhang had seen him from afar, he was now bloody, and it was not so easy to recognize him!
"General, we are just pawns in the Liangzhou army, ready to take advantage of the chaos to escape home. Remembering that we have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child waiting to be fed, you can be kind and let us go! "After all, Li Huan is older and has a strong ability to pretend. Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't recognize them, Li Huan immediately pretended to be very pitiful, and tears came down. It is really sad for those who see it, and tears for those who hear it.
"Really?" A cold light flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, not that he didn't sympathize with Li Huan, but that he found that Li Huan and the three of them didn't look like ordinary soldiers. How can an ordinary soldier be captured alive by the enemy general, and still complain without changing his face? I'm scared and scared to pee!
There is another more important point, if an ordinary soldier is caught, in order to survive, he will definitely kowtow, but although Li Huan and the three of them knelt on the ground, they did not kowtow half of their heads. Of course, this can't be blamed on Li Huan and the three of them, they are in high positions, and they have always been saluted by others, when did they kowtow to others?
"My lord, what I said is true!" Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't seem to believe it, Li Huan made even more trouble.
"That's it!" Liu Zhang sneered: "What about Li Dao? Tell me where he is, and I'll spare you from death!" ”
"Where is General Li, how can we minions know?" Li Huan continued to pretend to be stupid, but he didn't notice that Liu Zhang's face was getting colder and colder.
"General, Li Dao has gone out of the city disguised as a soldier, we really don't know where he is! He was with us just now! Li Li is timid and the most sensitive to murderous aura, he looked up and saw Liu Zhang's hideous face, and he was so frightened that he told the truth, Li Huan and Li Xian didn't stop him!
"Li Dao fled with you?" Liu Zhang smiled: "It seems that your identity is not simple, am I right?" General Li Xian! ”
It turned out that Li Xian's movements just now were too big, and he was recognized by the junior colonel next to Liu Zhang. Xiao Xiao naturally didn't dare to hide it, so he told Liu Zhang. Since they are Li Dao's relatives, it is even more impossible for Liu Zhang to let them go!
"Humph! Now that you have recognized me, I am not afraid to tell you that my uncle has long since left. If you kill me, he will avenge me! Li Xian stood up and looked at Liu Zhang viciously, trying to attract Liu Zhang's attention to himself.
"What about these two?" Liu Zhang pointed at Li Huan and Li Li.
"They're just my guards!" Li Xian was recognized, so naturally he didn't want his uncle and brother to be recognized as well.
"It turned out to be just a personal guard!" Liu Zhang smiled: "Drag it down, kill it!" ”
"No... Don't kill me! Li Li was most afraid of death, and when he saw that Liu Zhang was going to kill him, he rushed to Liu Zhang. The two spears immediately held him up, and Liu Zhang's personal guards would not let outsiders approach Liu Zhang.
"It's okay if I don't kill you, tell me, where is Li Dao?" Liu Zhang said with a grim face: "Or, you tell me, where is Li Dao going to go!" ”
"I... I said..."Li Li's eyes lost his eyes and he stammered, "Li Dao... back..."
"Don't say it!" Li Huan and Li Xian are in a hurry, if Li Li doesn't tell Li Wei's whereabouts, they still have a chance to live, if they say it, they will definitely die. It's a pity that Li Li still said it.
"It turns out that I'm back in Liangzhou!" Liu Zhang was secretly happy in his heart, and he admired Jia Xu's wisdom in grasping people's surnames even more. Of course, he was also glad in his heart that Jia Xu was not his enemy.
"Lord!" Seeing that Liu Zhang was a little distracted, Dian Wei touched him and asked, "What about these people?" ”
"Drag it down, and wait until you catch Li Dao and deal with it together!" Liu Zhang didn't even look at the howling Li Li, and directly asked people to drag him down with Li Huan and Li Xian.
The people of Chang'an were abused by Li Dao for so many days, Liu Zhang attacked the city without encountering the slightest resistance, as for the 20,000 troops under Li Dao, because there was no one to command, they surrendered en masse, and Liu Zhang naturally incorporated these 20,000 people! Although Liu Zhang has enmity with Li Dao and Guo Yan, he will never graft this hatred onto the people and soldiers.
Looking at the people of Chang'an who were already hungry and dying, Liu Zhang immediately ordered to distribute the military rations to them, and the people were grateful for Liu Zhang's benevolence. However, at this time, Liu Zhang did not have time to accept the gratitude of the people, he was sitting on the dragon chair in the Chang'an Palace, anxiously waiting for the news of Jia Xu and others.
"Report" a small colonel rushed into the main hall and said: "Enlighten the lord! Mr. Jia is back! ”
"Please!" Liu Zhang was waiting in a hurry, and Jia Xu arrived.
"See the lord!" Jia Xu took Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Fei to the main hall and bowed.
Liu Zhang said anxiously: "Mr. Jia, don't be polite!" What about Li Dao? ”
"Big brother, don't worry! Li Dao's father and son have been caught! Zhang Fei's loud voice shook the hall with a buzz.
"Good! My revenge can finally be avenged! Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said: "Yide, you go to Yangping Pass quickly and bring my third brother Liu Mao here, I want to use Li Wei's family to sacrifice my two brothers alive!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Fei answered the order and turned away.
"Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu!" Liu Zhang burst into shouts: "I order the two of you to collect the remnants of Xiliang, and divide the collected troops into three parts according to age, one is under the age of eighteen, one is over the age of twenty-five, and the third is between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five!" Got it? ”
"The last general understands!" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu also went as ordered.
Liu Zhang turned to Jia Xu and Guo Jia and smiled: "Two gentlemen, Chang'an is broken, it depends on you!" ”
"I understand it below!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled. Although the literati are light on each other, they also have sympathy. Especially people like Guo Jia who know current affairs and people like Jia Xu who are good at self-preservation. How can they not understand the principle that cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms?
Five days later, Zhang Fei finally brought Liu Mao from Yangping Pass. When he arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, Liu Mao was clamoring to get out of the car. It turned out that the heads of Liu Dan and Liu Fan were not taken off, and were still hung at the gate of Chang'an City. After Liu Mao got out of the car, he respectfully kowtowed three times at the gate of the city, and then walked into Chang'an with two heads that had been air-dried.
Seeing the heads of the two brothers, Liu Zhang's sorrow came from it, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, which frightened everyone and hurriedly recruited a doctor. Fortunately, the doctor said that Liu Zhang's squirting was only blood in his chest, and it was not a big problem, otherwise everyone would not know what to do.
The funeral was held for the two brothers first, but because the bodies of Liu Fan and Liu Dan were thrown into the mass grave, they could no longer be found. Liu Zhang ordered someone to carve a body out of agarwood wood for the two brothers, which was joined together with the head.
Standing in front of Liu Fan and Liu Dan's graves, Liu Zhang's mind was blank. Although he really wanted to get Yizhou, he didn't want anything to happen to the three brothers. But he knew that the three brothers would definitely have something to do if they stayed in Chang'an, but he didn't respond in time. Liu Zhang's heart was full of guilt, and his face was cloudy.
Seeing that Liu Zhang's face was wrong, Liu Mao pushed him and said, "Fourth brother, everything is the choice of the two brothers." In fact, a long time ago, the two brothers already had the will to die! ”
"Third brother, don't comfort me!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "The ants are still stealing their lives, what about people?" ”
Liu Mao smiled: "Believe it or not!" You can avenge the eldest brother and the second brother, they are already very happy to know under the spring! People can't be resurrected from the dead, so mourn! Fourth brother! ”
"yes!" Liu Zhang sneered: "The only thing I can do now is to avenge the two brothers!" Third brother, do you remember? I once said that I want to make Li Dao and Guo Yan into specimens! It's a pity that Guo Yan has been chopped into a human stick by me, and as for Li Dao, he has chosen a thousand knives for himself! Today, I will use the Li family to sacrifice the two brothers alive! ”
