After Mo Han returned to the camp outside the city after the negotiations, in order to further deter the defenders in the city, Wei Shuo ordered the crossbowmen to continuously bombard the Chang'an city wall with ballistas, causing a shocking number of panic in the city every day.

In the face of Liaodong's very harsh surrender conditions, the king of Nanyang hesitated. At this point today, except for the king of Nanyang and his henchmen who are still holding on, most people have seen clearly that Chang'an cannot be defended!

Since the general of Zhenbei only punished the first offender and did not ask about coercion, some middle and lower-level generals began to connect in tandem in order to survive, planning to secretly open the city gate to welcome the Liaodong army into the city.

No one knows where the news that General Zhenbei has no intention of holding the middle and low-level generals accountable comes from, and no one investigates the truth of the news, in short, the defenders of Chang'an began to become unstable.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, some of the middle-level generals of Qinzhou, who knew each other quickly, secretly opened the city gate to welcome the Liaodong Army into the city. Liu Yao, who was in charge of the specific command task, saw this scene and did not have time to report to Wei Shuo, so he quickly ordered the army to enter Chang'an City.

"The Liaodong Army has entered the city!"

With a terrible shout, the entire Chang'an suddenly became lively. The Qinzhou army, which had long been panicked, completely collapsed, and many defeated soldiers took the opportunity to burn, kill, and plunder, and Chang'an City was suddenly in chaos.

Yang Man, Zhang Chun and others, who heard the chaos, went to the palace with their subordinates to ask the king of Nanyang, but they didn't know that the palace had become a pot of porridge. When the king of Nanyang learned that the Liaodong army had entered the city, he was so frightened that he hid in the palace and shivered. When Zhang Chun, Yang Man and others found him, the king of Nanyang trembled and instructed Yang Man to hurry up and ask Liaodong to surrender.

"It's too late, my lord! It's late! The Liaodong Army has already entered the city! Yang Man said with a dejected face.

"Don't worry, the king will protect you from Chang'an City!"

Speaking of which, although Zhang Chun and others are not good in character and talent, they are loyal to the king of Nanyang, and they also fought with the former Zhao to the last moment in history.

In the face of Zhang Chun's clamour, the king of Nanyang smiled bitterly: "Aiqing is loyal and brave, I know it very well!" However, in the face of the brave and good fighting Liaodong army, how can you kill it? That's it, that's it, I'm going to surrender! ”

"King!" Zhang Chun, Yang Man, Yang Ci, Hu Song, Wang Lian and others wept and worshiped on the ground.

When Wei Shuo entered Chang'an, he happened to see that there were routs and rebellious people everywhere taking the opportunity to kill people and set fires, so he immediately ordered Chen An to take 300 guards and 3,000 troops to start enforcing martial law. He ordered all the people and soldiers in every street to return to their dwellings and camps, but those who dared to run in the streets were to be regarded as spies and mobs, and were to be killed on the spot.

Soon, Chen An and his guards began to ride horses and gallop around the streets of Chang'an to give orders, and at the same time, they killed dozens of chaotic people and routs who did not obey orders without mercy.

After the people and defenders of Chang'an saw the iron-blooded methods of the Liaodong Army, they finally realized that if they continued to make trouble, their lives would be lost.

About half an hour later, under the strong rectification of Chen An and the guards, the chaotic Chang'an City finally calmed down, and several places where the fire broke out were also extinguished by the Liaodong Army. Although the chaos caused certain losses, due to the timely intervention of Liaodong, it did not cause much harm to the people of Chang'an.

Except for the people at the bottom of Chang'an, who were excited and looking forward to Liaodong's accession, most of the officials and heroes in the city could only wait for the dawn to come with mixed feelings.

Seeing Liu Yao walking out of the palace, Wei Shuo asked with a smile, "Is King Nanyang okay?" ”

"It's okay! When the minister entered, Zhang Chun, Yang Ci, and Yang Man were guarding him. But looking at him like that, he was obviously frightened! The minister only warned them not to mess around, and left them to guard them, and then they came out. ”

"Well, that's good! King Nanyang is worth more alive than dead, wait for Wen Junshi to arrange manpower, quickly send them to Jiangzuo, and ask him to write a persuasion letter for King Langya for me. Hearing that King Nanyang was fine, Wei Shuo was relieved.

"Lord, why did you send King Nanyang to Jianye? Wouldn't it be better to directly execute him to avenge the Son of Heaven? ”

Wei Shuo explained with a smile: "Zhengchang, after all, the king of Nanyang is from the clan, and if it is disposed of by Liaodong, it will make the outside world think that we are authoritarian. On the contrary, handing over the king of Nanyang to the future emperor not only took the opportunity to show that Liaodong did not trespass, but also added some trouble to Jiangzuo, so why not? ”

"After King Langya ascended the throne, wouldn't it be over if he directly ordered the execution of King Nanyang? What trouble will Jiang Zuo have? ”

"Hehe, lord, let the minister explain to the chief! Although the king of Nanyang is a great rebel to the title of the throne, no one can deny that King Langya can ascend to the throne, thanks to the 'help' of the king of Nanyang. On the contrary, the dead Sima Ye has nothing to do with King Langya. ”

"If King Langya insists on executing Sima Bao, it will definitely make everyone think that he is mean and unkind, and with the death of Cai Bao at the beginning, the towns around the country will inevitably be more detached from King Langya."

"But what if King Langya pardons Sima Bao?"

"That's even better, even the title of a servant can be innocent, if I do something out of the ordinary in Liaodong in the future, Jiang Zuo will not be qualified to point fingers."

After the Liaodong Army took over Chang'an City, the first thing Wei Shuo thought of was to rebuild Chang'an City. As far as he knew, Han Chang'an and Tang Chang'an, which would appear later, were not the same city, Han Chang'an was in the north of Longyuan, south of Weishui, while Tang Chang'an was south of Longyuan.

At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian suspected that the Han Chang'an lasted too long, the palace in the city was dilapidated, the daily equipment such as water supply and drainage was seriously poor, and it was not easy to repair, and the scope of the Han Chang'an was narrow and difficult to expand the scale of the city, and it did not show the royal style.

Immediately ordered the construction of the new capital Daxing City in the open terrain on the south side of Longyuan. Later, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan changed Daxing City to Chang'an City, which was later Xi'an City.

"From tomorrow, the pastoral government will immediately send people to investigate the surrounding environment and prepare for the rebuilding of Chang'an City. This time, we will build a new Chang'an on a larger scale on the basis of Han Chang'an. I think the south side of Longyuan is very suitable, and I intend to build a new city there, and in the future, it will be merged with the old city as the new Chang'an. ”

After listening to Wei Shuo's words, Mo Han agreed with a smile, he had long regarded the new Chang'an as the future capital in his heart, and he didn't mind building a new city at all.

"Lord, you are treating Chang'an as Chengdu City to repair!"

Hearing this, Wei Shuo smiled and didn't say anything, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Taking Chang'an marks the basic end of the Yongzhou war, and then the Liaodong Army will immediately send troops to Longyou to recover Qinzhou after a short rest." Liaodong's primary task in the future is still to pacify the lands of Yong, Qin, You, Shuo, and the five states. ”

Then alert the Xianbei people, Goguryeo people, and Qianren people in the northern, eastern, and southern directions, and focus the attack on Shu and Hanzhong. Therefore, Liaodong wants to connect Liangzhou Zhangjia in the west, Tuoba Xianbei in the north, reject Goguryeo in the east, and fight Yi and Liang in the south. As long as the land of Yi, Liang, and Qin is recovered, the trend of Liaodong strengthening Qin will be achieved, and no one will be able to stop us from unifying the world in the future! ”

"The Lord is wise!" Mo Han, Liu Yao and others hurriedly bowed down.

At this moment, seeing Wen Qiao's hand walking quickly, Wei Shuo hurriedly asked in his heart: "Is it true that you have written a persuasion form to send to Jianye?" ”

"Back to the lord, I have already sent someone to Jianye, and the king of Nanyang and others have also been sent away."

"What do you think King Langya will do when he receives the persuasion table? Will you be grateful to us? Wei Shuo teased.

"Humph! Gratitude will definitely not be there, I'm afraid I will be shocked by the strength of Liaodong again! However, I think King Langya will still be somewhat surprised, after all, sitting at home behind closed doors, the throne is in the sky, is there anything better in the world? ”

Gradually, when it was dawn, the people, officials, heroes, and families of Chang'an had been frightened all night, until the door of the house was opened and they saw the streets full of Liaodong soldiers under martial law, and everyone realized that Chang'an City had changed hands again.

If you want to say that the most frustrated people are none other than those court officials, they all know that with the Liaodong Army entering Chang'an, a large number of them will lose their official positions.

For these people, Wei Shuo did not intend to keep them, but clearly told everyone to let them find their own way out. Those who want to go to Jianye will not be stopped by Liaodong; It's okay to stay if you want, but you no longer hold an official position. In short, everything comes and goes freely.

Most of the former court officials chose to go south to Jiangzuo after learning of Liaodong's decision, they were already accustomed to the old set of models, and they could not adapt to Liaodong at all if they stayed. (To be continued.) )
