This battle lasted until dawn, and then gradually ended.

The sun rose in the east and shone on the battlefield, but it was a depression and desolation.

The fire almost burned the entire camp, and countless corpses were entangled in strange shapes and terrifying shapes. At this time, the fire was extinguished, and there was still smoke everywhere, and the pungent smell filled the radius of more than ten miles, and the war horses sneezed again and again.

It's another graveyard.

Li Zheng stood at the head of Longguan at this time, looking at the purgatory-like scenery, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo was almost unloaded with a leg, Chen Cang was also taken, Sanfu was no longer in danger to defend, and the Liangzhou army could drive straight into Chang'an in the future.

Dong Zhuo's general trend has gone, and it stands to reason that Li Zheng should be very happy.

But seeing so many corpses in front of him and such a miserable scene, the joy in Li Zheng's heart gradually faded.

War, helpless.

It's not that Li Zheng is too soft-hearted, and it's not that he's sentimental. After the death of so many people, it is a person, and there is always something touching in my heart. It can only be said that Li Zheng has gradually integrated into this world and no longer looks at this qiē from the perspective of a bystander.

"Why should the lord be like this?"

Xi Zhicai's clothes were fluttering, he slowly approached, one step behind Li Zheng, also looked at the battlefield, sighed slightly, and said, "War is for peace." ”

Li Zheng was stunned and couldn't help nodding slowly.

Yes, not for the sake of war, but for the sake of peace.

The dead soldiers who were locked up were witnesses to this process, and their deaths were not worthless. It is precisely because of the desolation of war and death that we have witnessed the preciousness of peace and freedom.

Li Zheng shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said, "I'm thinking too much" As he spoke, he paused for words, turned his face to Xi Zhicai and said, "What about Pang Lingming?" ”

"Pursue the remnants of the enemy." Xi Zhicai replied: "Last night, Pang Lingming led his soldiers and horses to bite the tail of the enemy army, and chased the generals all the way, so there must be news soon." ”

Li Zheng nodded slowly.

Indeed, there should be news soon, the enemy army has been defeated here, with more than 30,000 dead and more than 40,000 captured, and the remnants of the escape may not even be 10,000.

And Chen Cang, when he was ugly last night, has also been taken down. The four captains quietly dug down the walls of Chencang with mountain breakers, and then entered the city, breaking through thousands of enemy troops defending the town and occupying the city.

Chen Cang is occupied, and the remnants of the enemy army have no way to retreat, and they will definitely be taken by Pound!

At noon, Pound sent a message to Li Zheng to report the good news. Nearly 10,000 remnants of the enemy army were chased and killed by Pang De all the way, until they reached the foot of Chen Cang City, and there were only more than 4,000 people left, and the way was blocked by the four captains in Chen Cangzhong.

Despair shrouded in a dilemma, and the enemy general had no choice but to surrender.

At this point, Dong Zhuotun was stationed in Chencang to guard against the more than 100,000 troops in Liangzhou, and the whole army was annihilated, either killed in battle or captured, from generals to small soldiers, not a single one escaped.

Then, Li Zheng did not stop, rested in Longguan for a day, and then led all the troops with Xi Zhicai and hurried towards Chencang.

When he arrived in Chencang, Li Zheng didn't have the heart to see the captured generals, and immediately took Pang De as the vanguard, leading the war cavalry units and war horses and light cavalry, totaling more than 13,000 horsemen, and took them as the vanguard, so that he quickly left Chencang and went straight to Chang'an.

Li Zheng and Xi Zhicai led the rest of the troops and horses, and followed closely.

lost Chen Cang, Chang'an was like a woman stripped naked, just waiting for Li Zheng to take it. In this case, how could Li Zheng not meet this requirement?

On August 21, the Pound Pioneer Department broke through Yixian County and then Huaili within one day, and the army fought successively and arrived at the city of Chang'an. Dong Zhuo panicked and hurriedly ordered the dispatch of surrounding soldiers and horses to return to Chang'an.

The army led by Li Zheng went all the way, and all the counties along the way were defeated, and three days later, they arrived at Chang'an City, and more than 50,000 troops waved their flags, and the entire Chang'an was impassable.

At the same time, Hedong Dong Min's department was defeated by Bai Yu several times on the frontal battlefield, first lost Dingyang and Diaoyin, withdrew from Bingzhou, and then was taken by Bai Yu Puzi and Beiqu, so he had to retreat to the area of Pishi and Linfen, and prepared to defend it strictly.

Knowing that Chang'an was besieged, Dong Min was shocked, and dispatched troops and horses overnight to prepare to return to Chang'an, but Bai Yu caught the flaw and collapsed with one blow!

Dong Min was captured, and the army was killed three or four out of ten, three or four out of ten were captured, and two or three out of ten were routed.

defeated Dong Min's department, Bai Yu's army immediately divided into two routes, all the way south, captured Anyi, approached Chang'an, all the way east to Wangwu Mountain, took Keiguan, and coerced Hanoi!

Under the city of Chang'an, in the tent of the commander of Liangzhou.

Li Zheng sat in a high-end position, the right head of the hall was Xi Zhicai, the left head was Pang De, and the rest of the generals, such as Li Le and others, were all seated in order according to their military ranks.

"The high walls of Chang'an City are thick, and the materials are abundant, and the heavy siege equipment of our army has not yet been transported, if you want to break Chang'an, do you have a strategy to teach me?" Li Zheng's majesty was awe-inspiring, and the tiger's eyes swept away, making all the generals in the tent feel a pressure.

With Li Zheng's power getting bigger and bigger, the momentum on his body is getting stronger and stronger.

Xi Zhicai on the side thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has two strategies, which can be used for reference." ”

"Sir, please." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"The next strategy is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, just besiege Chang'an, wait for Dong Zhuo's reinforcements from all directions to arrive, and eat them one by one, Dong Zhuo has no basis to rely on, and he will open the city and surrender."

Li Zheng nodded slightly: "So what about the best policy?" ”

"Hehe," Xi Zhicai said leisurely: "If you take the strategy, it is difficult to guarantee that you can get a complete Guanzhong." The best strategy is to immediately dispatch troops and generals all the way to the east to take Hangu Pass to prevent the eastern part of the country. All the way to the south, it cut off the retreat of Dong Zhuo's southern expeditionary army, and it is best to subdue it, and maybe take advantage of the situation to take Hanzhong. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Li Zheng stroked his palms and smiled: "Just take the best policy!" ”

smiled, his face was straight, and he said: "If I take the pass, Hangu Pass will definitely not fall into the hands of the Kwantung princes." At this time, I have been besieging Chang'an for only a few days, and the news has not yet spread, so it is the best time to take Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass is the danger of the world, the strategic location is very important, and a general is needed to guard it, Pang Lingming! ”

"The last general!"

When Pound heard this, he suddenly got up, stood tall and shouted.

"I order you to lead all the war cavalry and light cavalry, and another 10,000 soldiers, and immediately march east to Hangu." Li Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "The general of Dong Zhuo who guards Hangu Pass and defends the Kwantung princes is Xu Rong, a native of Youzhou, this person is quite capable, and you have to deal with it well." However, because Xu Rong is not from Liangzhou, he has been squeezed out by other generals in Dong Zhuo's army, and now Dong Zhuo's general trend has gone, you can use this as a basis to try to see if you can say that Xu Rong will be demoted. If you say that it will fall, you will be counted as a great achievement! ”

Pound's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Please rest assured!" ”

"Okay, let's go!"

"Whoa!"

Pound took the order and turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Li Zheng's gaze swept around, and then fell on Li Le. Although this person is a general, born as a bandit, but he still has the ability, during this time in the army, he has not violated military regulations, and now it seems that he has a strong military atmosphere, and some of the original bandit spirit has disappeared.

"Li Le!"

When Li Le heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly got up.

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead two battalions of 4,000 foot soldiers, immediately go south to the Meridian Road, and give me the retreat of Zhang Ji's department, it is best to suppress this person and make him surrender, if it is successful, it will be a great merit for you!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Yu Yuan!"

Li Zheng's eyes fell on another general, this person is very young, rugged-looking, but his heart is as careful as a hair, it is the deputy promoted by Pang De, who is a native of Liangzhou. Now he is a powerful captain.

"The last general!"

Yu Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists.

"Order you to lead two battalions of 4,000 foot soldiers to the valley, cut off the retreat of Fan Chou's department, if you can subdue this person, it will be considered a great achievement for you!"

"Yes!"

After arranging a qiē properly, in an instant, the 50,000 soldiers and horses besieging Chang'an were immediately reduced by 30,000, and only more than 20,000 men and horses remained, which seemed to be a little stretched.

However, in the afternoon, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Baiyu's troops crossed south from the direction of Anyi in the north, and joined forces with Li Zheng, and the number of soldiers and horses besieging Chang'an increased to 40,000.

In the face of the siege of the army, the entire Chang'an was in a hurry.

However, the common people at the bottom and the aristocratic officials at the top are two mentalities.

For the people, whoever is in charge of the house is the same. What's more, the well-known Liangzhou pastor among the people? Chang'an has long been under the influence of Liangzhou, after all, it is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and the goods of Liangzhou are the most circulated here.

But for the top management, there are worries.

Needless to say, Dong Zhuo's army has surrounded Chang'an, and Chen Cang's 100,000 army must have basically finished playing. The 100,000 army was gone, and Dong Zhuo lost almost half of his strength.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, Dong Zhuo looked very irritable, and when he went to the court in the past few days, he had already killed many officials for no reason, which made all the court officials afraid of him, and even many people took leave and did not go to the court.

They are waiting for the end of Dong Zhuo to come.

Yes, Dong Zhuo's end is coming, this is a clear thing. With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of Li Zheng in Liangzhou. Didn't you see that Dong Zhuo was just on guard these days, and didn't dare to fight?

Officials in the DPRK and China have two views on this.

The first is to have an optimistic attitude. Many officials felt that as long as Dong Zhuo was eliminated, the Han Dynasty would be liberated. After all, Li Zheng of Liangzhou has not heard of any bad deeds, and he will not spoil the royal family like Dong Zhuo.

Second, there is an attitude of wariness, exclusion and disgust. For example, Wang Yun. They know Li Zheng best, and they know that this person is lawless, even more so than Dong Zhuo. At the beginning, Wang Yun and others sent people to meet Li Zheng, wanting to use Li Zheng as a gunman to control the government, but they knew Li Zheng's 'true face'. This person is a lawless man, and he is simply presumptuous and arrogant. For Wang Yun and other big families, Li Zheng, as a first-order grassroots martial artist, was born to deal with them.

So at this time, the internal government officials also began to split.

Some of them wanted to cooperate with Li Zheng, broke Chang'an, and defeated Dong Zhuo. For example, Wang Yun's part of the people is still hesitating.
