After Shi Hu's death, there was turmoil in Zhao State one after another, and the military spirit had already fluctuated, and it was the strictest in Guanzhong, an area far away from the capital, and at the juncture when the Jin army launched a large-scale northern expedition and surrounded Chang'an, there were many Zhao army soldiers, especially the Jin generals, who had long planned to surrender.

According to the secret report of the Congshi hidden in Chang'an, some of the generals of the Zhao army in Chang'an City have begun to think about the way back.

"What the general said is that Zhao Junjun is disheartened, and it must be feasible to persuade him to surrender." The ministry will express its support.

Subsequently, according to Congshi's report, Hua'an wrote several letters to some Zhao generals in Chang'an City to persuade them to surrender, and asked Congshi to find a way to hand them over to the Zhao generals.

Persuasion to surrender whether it is successful or not, there is no loss for Hua'an, successful persuasion can greatly weaken the strength of the Zhao army to defend the city, enhance their own strength, even if the persuasion fails, the Jin army will not have any losses, if the East Window incident happened, was discovered by Shi Bao, the loss is also the Zhao army's men and horses.

Congshi completed the task brilliantly and handed over Hua'an's handwritten letter to the Zhao generals, who naturally would not miss this opportunity, so they agreed to lead their subordinates out of the city to surrender.

At this time, in Chang'an City, a conspiracy of secret troops was being staged, and several Zhao army teams of different sizes began to prepare to flee Chang'an and surrender to the Jin army out of the city in order to get a way out.

Although several teams were preparing in secret, they were still discovered by Shi Bao's henchmen, so the matter was leaked without accident.

Shi Bao was furious, and all the generals and subordinates who were about to surrender to the Jin army were executed to set an example. He sent his guards to immediately surround the garrisons of the generals who were about to surrender, and prepared to disarm all the soldiers who were about to surrender, and then publicly execute them in the city.

Seeing Shi Bao's pro-guard army killing violently, the soldiers of the Zhao army who were about to surrender knew that the matter must have leaked the news, and with their understanding of Shi Bao, if they really disarmed, there was no possibility of survival, so. Mobilize troops and horses immediately. Fought with Shi Bao's personal guards.

"Soldiers, we were originally Jin people, and now the king of the Great Jin Dynasty is outside the city, killing them. Fight with these yellow dogs. Kill ......" Jin generals had no choice. I had to try my best to command the soldiers and fight a bloody battle with Shibao's personal guards.

In the territory of the Zhao State, as a descendant of the Jin people. The status is very low, even the pig and the dog are not as good, even if you join the army, the status in the army is still the lowest category, the Jin soldiers who are fed up with the spirit of the people, raise their weapons and fight with the pro-guard army of the stone bud.

Some of the Jin generals who were about to surrender to the Jin army near the camp, seeing this situation, immediately gathered men and horses and killed Shi Bao's personal guards to rescue their fellow Jin companions.

The whole Chang'an city was full of fighting, the Jin soldiers and Shi Bao's personal guards launched a large-scale bloody battle, and the rest of the Qiang and Di soldiers and horses sat on the tiger fight with ulterior motives, and paid close attention to the development of the shape shì, so as to make a suitable choice.

Shi Bao's pro-guard army is the most elite in equipment, and it surpasses the rebellious Jin soldiers in terms of strength, but at this moment, outside the city is the main force of the Jin army in Hua'an, even if they can defeat the rebellious Jin soldiers, but once the main force of the Jin army outside the city is killed, they will not be able to resist.

The generals of the guards under Shi Bao hurriedly sent his own soldiers to report the situation in the city to Shi Bao.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's all the other way around." Seeing that all the Jin generals were about to rebel, Shi Bao's heart was completely panicked, and he cursed the Jin generals in his mouth.

"King Leping, what should I do now, the Jin army outside the city is eyeing it?" The general said worriedly.

When Shi Bao heard this, his scalp suddenly tingled with fright, and after calming down for a moment, Zhengse ordered: "Immediately send an order, let the pro-guard army withdraw to the palace, pack up their luggage, and prepare to follow me out of Chang'an and go to Wuguan." ”

"Yes, King Leping." The general responded with a fist clenched, and then went to give the order.

After receiving the order to withdraw the army, Shibao's personal guards immediately retreated in the direction of the palace, and the Jin soldiers, because of their lack of strength, did not dare to catch up, but immediately gathered troops and horses to kill in the direction of the west gate, preparing to seize the west gate, in order to meet the main army of Hua'an into the city, it is also a great achievement, which can be regarded as a meeting gift of surrender.

Guarding the west gate is the Qiang soldiers and horses, in the Jin soldiers and horses and Shi Bao's personal guards fought to the death, they were closely observing the development of the shape shì, at this moment, seeing Shi Bao's personal guards retreating, and the Jin soldiers and soldiers were killing violently, suddenly, where did they dare to resist, hurriedly opened the city gate, and asked to surrender the Jin army together.

In the Jin army camp outside the city, Hua'an was still studying the plan to attack Chang'an, and his own soldiers broke in.

"General, good news, the Zhao army has opened the west gate and surrendered to our army." The pro-soldier reported loudly.

Hua An was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Great, how many people and horses did the Zhao army surrender?" ”

The soldiers replied: "General Hui, outside the west gate of Chang'an, there are 5,000 people and horses, and counting the men and horses on the city wall, there are more than 6,000 people in total. ”

Hua An smiled, looked at the surrounding generals, and ordered: "Gather people and prepare to enter the city." ”

"Yes, General." All the generals received the order together, and immediately went to prepare the troops and horses.

In the direction of the palace in Chang'an, Shi Bao was commanding his own soldiers, loading all the most valuable things in the palace onto the baggage cart, preparing to return to the Central Plains with these valuable things.

"Report, King Leping, the rebels have sacrificed Ximen, and the main force of the Jin army will be killed soon." At this moment, the pro-soldiers reported a very bad news to Shi Bao.

Shi Bao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

"King Leping, the main force of the Jin army is about to enter the city, I'm afraid that I can't take these things away, so it's important to flee quickly." The general urged.

"These things are worth a lot of money, how can they be cheap for the Jin army, even if they are all thrown into the river, they can't be left for the Jin army, hurry up, move quickly." Shibud roared loudly.

Seeing that Shi Bao was still fond of gold and jade treasures in this kind of burning eyebrows, the generals under his command all shook their heads.

Soon, all the most valuable items of the palace were loaded into the baggage carts, a total of dozens of carts, and after loading these, Shi Bao ordered his army to take these treasures and part of the military rations to the east gate.

When passing by the granary, Shi Bao's eyes were firmly fixed on the granary, and then he ordered: "Pass the king's order, burn the granary of Chang'an City, and also set all the streets in the city on fire, and this king wants to let the Jin army get an empty city." ”

"Yes, King Leping." The subordinates obeyed the order.

Subsequently, several large granaries in Chang'an, as well as densely populated streets, were all ignited by Shibao's personal guards, and the fire burned instantly.

Arriving at the direction of the east gate, Shi Bao looked back at the city, saw a fire burning in the city, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered the city gate to be opened immediately.

"King Leping, five miles outside the east gate, there are 10,000 main forces of the Jin army stationed, and our army should be careful.

Shi Bao nodded and ordered: "After leaving the city, the left and right wings of the army are responsible for dragging the Jin army, and the pro-guard army marches with this king. ”

"Yes, King Leping." The general shouted his orders.

He understood Shi Bao's intention, which was to use the miscellaneous soldiers and horses on the left and right wings to drag the 10,000 troops of the Jin army, so that his personal guards could go to the direction of Wuguan along the way, you know, in Shi Bao's heart, except for the pro-guard army composed of all the people, the rest of the soldiers and horses are very unreliable, especially the Jin soldiers and horses are the most untrustworthy, this time, the Jin army in Chang'an City rebelled, which deepened Shi Bao's idea.

After leaving the city, the left and right wings of the army, according to Shi Bao's order, went to the direction of the Jin army camp five miles outside the city, while Shi Bao led his personal guards to quickly march to Wuguan in the southeast.

Outside the west gate of Chang'an City, Hua An led a main army of 30,000 to the city, and accepted the surrender of the Jin soldiers and the Qiang soldiers guarding the west gate, and reinstated all their officials.

"Look, general, the city is on fire, what a fire!" Zhuge Xiong saw smoke coming out of the direction of the city, and hurriedly reminded loudly.

Hua'an looked up, and there was indeed thick smoke billowing in the direction of the city, and it could be seen that the area of the fire in the city was not small, and it actually covered the entire city with a layer of smoke.

"General, it must be Shi Bao who escaped." The generals of the Zhao army who surrendered said affirmatively.

Hua An nodded when he heard this, and when he saw the fire in the city for no reason, he had already guessed that it was a good deed that Shi Bao sent his soldiers to do when he fled Chang'an, so he ordered: "Zhuge Xiong, Li Liang, you two, immediately lead the soldiers under your command to enter the city to fight the fire." ”

"Yes, General." When Zhuge Xiong and Li Liang heard the order, they hurriedly led their army to run in the direction of the city.

The surrendered Zhao soldiers and Hua'an's personal guards stayed outside the city and waited.

"Big brother, since Shi Bao has fled from Chang'an, why don't our army immediately pursue him and capture him." Wang San asked in a low voice.

"Yes! General, now that Tongguan has been controlled by our army, Shibao fled to the Central Plains, and the only way to retreat is to take a detour from Wuguan in the southeast, and our army only needs to send light cavalry to occupy Wuguan in advance, and it can block Shibao's retreat to the Central Plains. A subordinate general chimed in.

Hua An smiled and replied softly: "Shi Bud is greedy by nature, has no strategy, he is a complete waste, what's the use of capturing him, it's better to let him go!" After speaking, his face was relaxed.

In fact, the reason why Hua'an did not send troops to occupy Wuguan in advance was to leave a way for Shi Bao and some Zhao soldiers to retreat, so that the determination of Zhao soldiers to resist would be greatly reduced, which was conducive to Hua'an's rapid control of Zhan Guanzhong, and at the same time, Shi Bao's detour into the direction of Yecheng was also equivalent to adding another force to the direction of Yecheng, making the political situation in Yecheng more chaotic and complicated.

The more complicated and turbulent the political situation in the direction of Yecheng, the faster the national strength of Zhao will be consumed, which is very beneficial to Hua'an, who is determined to recover the Central Plains. (To be continued......)
