Chapter 266: Jingluo Guanzhong

Luo Zheng glanced at it and said abruptly: "Life can't protect the life of the Lord, and death should follow you to Huangquan, and you have the courage to kill yourself, it can be seen that they are all loyal and enthusiastic good men." Burial, don't be a corpse wilderness! ”

"Yes!"

A junior colonel agreed, and immediately beckoned the soldiers to come forward and bury the body.

Luo Zheng took one last look at Guo Yan's corpse, and then led his army into the city.

As a warlord, there are only two ways for Guo Yan to go, either to surrender and enjoy wealth and wealth.

Either a battle, as long as Chang'an is breached, no matter what the final result is, as long as it is captured, there will be no way to live.

Everyone else has a chance to live, but Guo Yan has no way to live.

It's not that Luo Zheng doesn't want to give Guo Yan a life, but there is really no reason to let him go.

One day of the fierce battle, a lot of soldiers under his command died, and he had to give an explanation to the soldiers who died in battle.

Moreover, Guo Yan is a general in the Xiliang Army and has a huge influence in the Xiliang Army.

Once he chooses to break the net, Luo Zheng will definitely not let him go.

This night is destined not to be peaceful, and the fighting in Chang'an City continues.

Although the main general has fled, the red-eyed soldiers did not surrender immediately, and there are still small groups of soldiers who are stubbornly resisting, and even some rebels rushed into the houses and took the opportunity to loot the ** women.

It wasn't until dawn that the shouts and howls of the city gradually subsided.

The streets were already stained red with blood, mutilated corpses everywhere, and the pungent smell of blood was disgusting.

Groups of dejected captives were taken to the military camp in the north of the city, unloaded their weapons and stomach armor and imprisoned, and from time to time a soldier went crazy and broke out and injured people, and the head of the Luo Zheng soldier who was in custody was cut off. Fiercely intimidate the captives.

In just two years, Chang'an City has been ruined.

The walls are in disrepair and are full of scars. Collapsed houses are everywhere.

As you pass through the alleys, you can occasionally see a pair of numb, frightened eyes behind the crack in the door. A child suddenly let out a loud cry, but it soon stopped abruptly, and the adult covered his mouth.

Luo Zheng glanced sideways and asked, "Can someone disturb the people?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "The lord's army is like a mountain, and there have never been soldiers who have disturbed the people. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "That's good, after clearing the remnants of the enemy, he will immediately come forward to appease the people, and distribute all the captured Guo Yan's military rations to the people in the city." Our army is not short of this bit of food and grass, and General Ben does not want to see anyone starve to death. ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”

Towards noon, the soldiers cleared a large mansion next to the imperial city.

Gaozu set the capital of Chang'an, and moved to Luoyang after Guangwu Zhongxing, and Chang'an was the western capital, and Jingzhaoyin was also set up.

Although there are many palaces destroyed, but since it is the western capital, the imperial court has also summoned the people to repair it several times, except for the chaos of the palace, most of the palace is intact, as long as it is cleaned up. It's still not a problem to live in.

After Guo Yan's battle captured Chang'an, he lived in the imperial city in a grand manner.

Luo Zheng didn't want to be so ostentatious, so he ordered his soldiers to clean up a courtyard next to the imperial city.

Even if the Great Han has perished. The Imperial City is not something that everyone can live in, unless they want to be emperors.

The Han people pay attention to the golden mean, and never like to show off, except for people like Yuan Shu, or warlords like Guo Yan who have no political wisdom, as long as they are not fools, no one will live in the imperial city in a grand manner.

The soldiers laid out the mats and lit a large pot of firewood.

Luo Zheng didn't eat anything, and fell asleep lying on a thick fur cushion.

Xu Chu walked in. He took a blanket and put it over his body, and then drove his soldiers out.

It was a bit of a long sleep. When I woke up, the sun was almost setting.

Remove the blanket and sit up. As soon as he moved his hands and feet, Xu Chu heard the movement and pushed the door and walked in.

"Why doesn't Zhongkang rest?"

Luo Zheng rubbed his sour arm and asked, he didn't sleep, and the others didn't sleep either.

Xu Chu replied: "The last general slept for two hours, and his whole body will be full of energy!" ”

"That's good!"

Luo Zheng nodded, and asked again, "What about Wenhe, have you woken up?" ”

Xu Chu said: "The military advisor has already woken up, and this will be dealing with the aftermath with Gao Shun." ”

Luo Zheng made an 'um' sound and sneezed: "Get some food, I'm starving General Ben." ”

Xu Chu agreed, hurriedly ran out, and soon brought in a roasted leg of mutton.

Looking at the color, the roasting time is a bit long, obviously it has been roasted a long time ago, and it has been on the fire for fear of cold down.

At this time, you can still eat a roasted leg of lamb, and ordinary soldiers naturally don't have such a good treatment. Luo Zheng was already hungry in front of him, so he couldn't take care of a lot, so he grabbed the leg of mutton and gnawed it.

After three days of busy work, Chang'an initially settled down, and the people began to walk around the streets.

Luo Zheng asked Zhang Liao to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Chang'an, and after the rest of the army rested for three days, he immediately divided his troops into four places and attacked Baling, Gaoling and other places.

In fact, since Guo Yan led the army into the pass, and connived at the army under his command to plunder the surrounding places, almost all the scholars in the pass can run out, and many cities are controlled by the Xiliang rebellion, and the city is the king.

Now that Guo Yan is dead, many places are in chaos again.

The Xiliang rebel army took the opportunity to loot the city, and then took a large amount of money and treasures, and fled into the mountains and forests with hundreds of subordinates to occupy the mountains and become kings, and also looted the nearby villages along the way.

Gao Shun, Yan Xing, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others will lead the army out in all directions to pursue and suppress the rebellious Xiliang army.

Hongnong, Zhang Ji's official residence.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly ran into the inner hall and said to Zhang Ji: "Uncle, Chang'an has been lost. ”

"What?"

Zhang Ji was taken aback, Huo Di stood up and said, "Chang'an is lost?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded again and again: "Just now Xizuo sent back the news from Baling, Luo Zhengqin led an army of 50,000 to besiege the city, and it only took two days to break through Chang'an. ”

"What?"

Zhang Ji was taken aback again, speechless in shock.

Zhang Xiu waited for a long time, but he didn't see his uncle speak, so he had to shout, "Uncle? ”

Zhang Ji came back to his senses at this time, his eyes showed a complicated look, and he sighed: "Guo Yan is also a general of Xiliang, I don't want to end up being forced to judge myself now, Luo Zheng's guy is too ruthless." The same is the old department of Xiliang, in the past, when we were in Luoyang, we also excused it, I don't want to turn my face now but don't recognize people, it's really ungrateful! ”

Zhang Xiu disagreed: "Uncle's words are wrong! ”

Zhang Ji was surprised: "What is Jinrong's opinion? ”

Zhang Xiu said: "In ancient times, there were a few people who supported the army and respected themselves, and there were a few people who were defeated and had a good end. changed the little nephew, and broke through Chang'an, and he had to kill him to get rid of the troubles. Moreover, the little nephew also heard that before Luo Zheng attacked the city, he persuaded Guo Bian to open the city and surrender, and promised to be rich and famous, which can be regarded as a complete old friendship. Guo Yan wanted to stand on his own feet, and refused to open the city to surrender, and he deserved to be killed when the city was broken, who could blame him. ”

Zhang Ji was even more surprised: "Is this really your idea?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "That's what the little nephew thinks." ”

Zhang Ji sighed: "What Jin Rong said is right, it is because Uncle Wei is a little biased. Thinking about it carefully, if Guo Yan breaks through Hongnong, anyone can have a way to live, but there is no way for Uncle Wei to live, and Guo Yan will never let go of Uncle Wei. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "It's a pity that Guo Yan is dead now." ”

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly: "Guo Yan is dead, but isn't there a more ferocious wolf in Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Xiu said in a condensed voice: "Luo Zheng is powerful, the only way to do it is today, and only when the people and Li Wei unite to resist Luo Zheng can there be a way to live." ”

Zhang Jishen thought so: "What Jin Rong said is very true, for the sake of my uncle, I will send people to Luoyang and ask Li Dao to send troops to help." ”

Chang'an, Luo Zheng's temporary residence.

Jia Xu hurriedly entered the conference hall and bowed his hand to Luo Zheng: "Lord! ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand and let Jia Xu take a seat before asking, "How is it, can the Guan Sergeant clan have any resistance?" ”

Jia Xu took a sip of hot tea before saying, "Although there is resistance, it is not a big problem, but it is ......."

"But what?"

Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice.

Jia Xu said: "After Guo Yan occupied Guanzhong, only a very small number of Guan sergeants were used, and many cities were guarded by the Xiliang Rebellion Army under his command, so there was no county commander in many places, so that the government decree was chaotic, bandits were everywhere, and the people were upside down. Even if the lord thinks of using the Sergeant Clan now, there are not many people available. And after the destruction of Chang'an City, there were Xiliang rebel armies in all counties who took the opportunity to loot, and it was only difficult to quickly stabilize the situation in the Sanfu area in a short period of time. ”

Luo Zheng immediately frowned, his face was extremely displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "If Sanfu can't quickly stabilize it, how can this general's army march out of Chang'an and eastward." What about those scholars who took refuge in Guo Yan, don't they have any intention of becoming famous? ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord can order General Gao Shun to lead 20,000 troops to attack Hongnong, and the rest of the army will temporarily be stationed in Chang'an to guard Sanfu. ”

Luo Zheng got up and paced a few steps under the hall before he muttered, "That's it, let Wen Ruo come to Chang'an!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

Jia Xu casually complimented and agreed: "The erosion of the situation in Guanzhong is better than that of Liangzhou at the beginning. At present, Liangzhou is on the right track, and there are no internal and external troubles for the time being, so it is the right time for Wen Ruo to come to Chang'an to preside over government affairs. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said: "Let Gao Shun come back, and then order Zhang Liao, Yan Xing, Li Meng and others to hurry up, and be sure to sweep away the chaotic army and bandits in various places within ten months, and at the same time strictly prohibit the people from continuing to flee, and then let Wen Ruo transfer a batch of grain and grass from Longxian County, and do his best to settle the homeless people, and no longer let the people of Guanzhong continue to go into exile." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and sang: "Xu, obey!" ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "What about Guo Yan's family, has it been properly settled?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I have ordered someone to be sent to Liangzhou for resettlement." ”

Luo Zheng nodded at this time and said: "That's good, although Guo Yan deserves to die, but his family must be treated well, otherwise I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the Xiliang soldiers, and in the future, Zhang Ji, Li Dao and other old generals of Xiliang will never surrender to this general."
