After besieging Chang'an, the rebels did not rush to attack the city.

Li Yuan repeatedly sent people to the city to send letters to Wei Wensheng, but the soldiers defending the city did not report Wei Wensheng at all.

Acting Wang Yang Yu, Wei Wensheng, Yin Shishi and others thought that the "volunteers" were overwhelming, and the military orders were strict, and they became more and more closed to the city.

Li Yuan was afraid that the soldiers would meet each other, destroy the palace, and hurt the people, so he was infamous and insisted on persuading the defenders in the city to surrender, and never ordered the siege of the city.

------

The generals who had just returned to Guanzhong were eager to fight, and they thought that they were not the fathers who raised troops, and they were ashamed of their lack of meritorious service, and they asked to lead their troops to attack the city.

On October 17, the heroes of Guanzhong once again asked to lead the elite to the city. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng agreed in their hearts, but they did not dare to disobey Li Yuan's order, so they sent someone to report to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan resolutely refused to allow it.

On October 27, the various ministries again requested a siege, but Li Yuan did not allow it.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng tried their best to persuade Li Yuan, "Since Jinyang sent troops, our army has driven straight in, and there is basically no city that cannot be conquered. Now that he has arrived in Beijing, he has not attacked for a long time, and he is afraid that he will frustrate the morale of the soldiers. What is even more worrying is that I am afraid that the newly annexed subordinates will look down on the soldiers of Taiyuan and think that we are incompetent. Please make a quick decision, so as not to have too many dreams at night and unexpected accidents."

Seeing that the generals were eager to attack the city, Li Yuan could no longer stop it, so he had to agree to the request of Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and his subordinates to allow the siege of the city, but he ordered, "Do not infringe on the temple, the acting king Yang Yu and the Sui Dynasty clan." Whoever violates this will sin and the three tribes."

------

After obtaining Li Yuan's consent, the various departments began to make careful preparations, build siege equipment, and practice siege methods.

At dawn on the ninth day of November, the various departments began to attack the city, and the officers and soldiers defending the city fell apart in an instant, and almost did not encounter resistance, that is, they conquered Chang'an.

Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to withdraw all their troops from the city and station, send people to seal up the treasury, store the books, prohibit plunder, and strictly restrain all the troops and not disturb the people in the city.

Li Yuan personally went to the East Palace to welcome Yang Yu, the acting king, to move to Daxing Palace.

-------

After the city was broken, Li Yuan ordered the arrest of Li Jing, the former commander of Mayi County.

Li Jing was both civil and military, good at using soldiers, good at strategy, and once accompanied Li Yuan to attack the Turks in the north.

Before Jinyang raised troops, Li Jing found that Li Yuan was also secretly recruiting troops and horses, waiting for an opportunity to move, and preparing to launch a mutiny. After perceiving Li Yuan's motives, he disguised himself as a prisoner, fled from Jinyang, and prepared to go to Jiangdu to confess to Yang. But when he arrived in Chang'an, Guanzhong was already in chaos, the road was blocked, and Li Jing's plan to go to Jiangdu failed to come true.

Li Yuan was very angry at what Li Jing had done, and after arresting him, he was about to behead him. When Li Jing saw Li Yuan, he didn't have the slightest fear, and protested, "Tang Gong raised troops to raise an incident, originally to eliminate violence and quell chaos in the world, didn't he want to achieve great things, but instead killed strong men because of personal grudges?"

Under Li Shimin's repeated persuasion, Li Yuan's anger subsided, and Li Jing was finally released. Li Shimin admired Li Jing's talent and courage and included him in his shogunate.

-------

When Yang Xuangan mutinied, Yang Guang ordered the excavation of his ancestral grave.

After Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, the officials left behind in Chang'an, Yin Shishi, Gu Yi and others, also destroyed the Li Jiazong Temple and dug up Li Yuan's ancestral grave in accordance with Yang Guang's precedent of disposing of Yang Xuangan.

Li Yuan was very resentful of this matter.

When conquering Chang'an, Wei Wensheng had already died of illness, and Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to behead more than a dozen people, including Yin Shishi, Gu Yi, Cui Bijia, and Li Renzheng, on Zhuque Street, and no one was held accountable.

------

Civil and military officials advised Li Yuan to establish himself as emperor, but Li Yuan disagreed.

From the bottom of his heart, calling the emperor is something Li Yuan thinks about day and night, if he doesn't want to be the emperor, why should he risk raiding his house and destroying his family to raise an army?

But the current situation does not allow, although it is the initial decision of Guanzhong, but there are still strong enemies such as Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and Turks in the north, Li Mi and Wang Shichong are competing for high and low in the Central Plains, Shandong, Yan and Zhao are divided, and Jiangnan is still controlled by the Great Sui Emperor. If Li Yuan is proclaimed emperor at this time, it may cause a coalition of all powers, and take the opportunity to accuse Li Yuan of disobedience and discuss Li Yuan. In this way, Li Yuan may become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, Li Yuan coveted the emperor's throne in his heart, but he had to play the banner of "respecting Sui" externally.

What he said to the outside world were all high-sounding reasons, but in fact they were not his sincere words at all.

------

Since there is no good chance to become the emperor, Li Yuan needs to establish the king Yang Yu as the puppet emperor. He ordered the officials of Taichang Temple to choose an auspicious day, pay tribute to the temple of Emperor Wen of Sui, determine the honorable position, and prepare for the ceremony of appointing Yang Yu as the emperor.

On November 15, Li Yuan led hundreds of civil and military officials, prepared feather ceremonies and other honor guards, and welcomed the king Yang Yu in the Daxing Palace, when the king was only thirteen years old.

The new emperor Yang Yu issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world and change the 12th year of the great cause to the first year of Yining. In the edict, it is not said that Yang Guangli was abolished as the king, but that Yang Guang was respected as the emperor.

------

The new emperor Yang Yu ascended the throne and issued an edict: Li Yuan was specially given the title of Huang Yue and Jie, and was entrusted with the military affairs inside and outside the capital, Shangshu Ling, and the prime minister, and was named the king of Tang. With the Wude Hall as the Prime Minister's Mansion, he handles government affairs at the Qianhua Gate every day. Jin Feng Li Jiancheng was the son of Tang Shizi, Li Shimin was Jing Zhaoyin and Qin Gong, and Li Yuanji was Qi Gong.

------

After the capture of Chang'an, Guanzhong was basically pacified, but there were still tens of thousands of troops from Qu Tutong who confronted Liu Wenjing in Tongguan.

When Li Yuan led his army to cross the Yellow River from Fenyin and enter Guanzhong, Qu Tutong left Ying Yanglang to defend Hedong with Yao Junsu, intending to go from Wuguan to Lantian to rescue Chang'an. When they arrived at Tongguan, they were blocked by Liu Wenjing's soldiers and horses, and the two armies held each other for more than a month.

------

Seeing that Chang'an was in danger, Qu Tutong was anxious, and he ordered Wu Yalang to attack Sang Xian and Liu Wenjing at night.

The army led by Liu Wenjing was divided into three camps, the outer part of the camp was a trench, and the inside of the trench was a wooden fence surrounded by wooden piles, and the two armies fought against each other across the trench and wooden fence. The Sui army tried to break through the wooden fence and rushed into the camp.

The battle until dawn, Sang Xian and the Sui soldiers led by Sang Xian broke through the two camps of the wooden fence, only the Chinese army where Wen Jing was left was not broken through, the Sui army soldiers and horses rushed into the camp several times, the two armies were short of each other, Liu Wenjing led the "righteous army" suffered heavy casualties, demoralization, and began to show the trend of rout.

------

However, the Sui army led by Sang Xian and the Sui army fought from midnight to dawn, and the sergeants were tired and unable to fight again.

Seeing that the Sui army was resting, Liu Wenjing took the opportunity to divide his troops to enrich the other two camps, and ordered Duan Zhixuan to lead hundreds of light cavalry to go around behind the Sui army and attack its back.

Attacked by the cavalry led by Duan Zhixuan, Sang Xianhe had to send troops to hold the rear, at this time Liu Wenjing ordered the soldiers of the three camps to attack hard, and the Sui army was in chaos.

------

Duan Zhixuan led the cavalry to rush into the enemy formation, rushing back and forth, with several arrows in his body, blood-stained clothes, and still undiminished.

The morale of the "Righteous Army" was greatly boosted, the sound of killing penetrated the sky, Sang Xian and his soldiers and horses were instantly defeated, Sang Xian and his single horse broke through the formation and fled, and all the soldiers led by him were captured by the "Righteous Army".

------

After the defeat of Sang Xianhe, Qu Tutong lost most of his troops, and was no longer able to resist the "righteous army" led by Liu Wenjing. Only death will be rewarded."

Qu Tutong had reached the end of his rope, but he still smiled as usual, with the heart of generosity to die, he touched his neck and said to his subordinates, "As a courtier, I should serve the festival of death, I am willing to receive a knife for the country." His subordinates were impressed by his loyalty, and they were all willing to follow him to the death, and no one rebelled.

Li Yuan sent Qu Tutong's servant to persuade him to surrender with a letter, but Qu Tutong didn't read Li Yuan's letter of persuasion, tore up the letter on the spot, and immediately ordered the beheading of the servant who came to persuade him to surrender.

------

Soon, the news of the fall of Chang'an reached Tongguan, and all Qu Tutong's family members were trapped in Chang'an City, and he knew that the general situation had gone, so he led his soldiers and horses to Luoyang.

Qu Tu informed that Sang Xianhe's family members were all in Chang'an, and he did not force him to go east with him, so he left Sang Xianhe to guard Tongguan. After Qu Tutong left, Sang Xianhe led his subordinates to surrender to Liu Wenjing.

------

When Liu Wenjing learned that Qu Tutong led his army to withdraw to the eastern capital Luoyang, he immediately sent Dou Cong and Duan Zhixuan to follow Sang Xian and lead the elite cavalry to pursue Qu Tutong.

Chased to the east of Tongguan, Dou Cong, Duan Zhixuan led the elite cavalry and Qu Tutong to meet, Qu Tutong ordered his subordinates to set up a formation to resist.

Dou Cong asked Qu Tutong's son Qu Tushou to come to the front of the battle to persuade him to surrender, and Qu Tutong shouted loudly: "In the past, you and I were father and son, but today we are enemies!"

Stop, Qu Tutong immediately ordered the left and right arrows to shoot at Qu Tushou, and the left and right subordinates knew that it was Qu Tutong's son, where would Qu Tushou really shoot to death? They all shot arrows at Qu Tushou's side.

------

Sang Xian and urged him to step forward and shouted to Qu Tutong's subordinates, "Now that the Jingshi has fallen, and the families of all the soldiers are in Guanzhong, why do you want to go east? Do you want to leave your parents, your wife, and your children behind?"

Qu Tutong's subordinates no longer had the will to fight, and they all looked at Qu Tutong with expectant eyes, waiting for his decision.

Seeing that the army's spirit had been dispersed, he could not get rid of it, and he could not win the battle, so he dismounted and kowtowed again and again in the direction of the southeast Jiangdu, and said with tears in his eyes: "The ministers have been defeated with all their strength, and they are worthy of Your Majesty." Then he was captured, and all his subordinates put down their weapons and surrendered without a fight.

------

After Qu Tutong was captured, Liu Wenjing sent him to Chang'an. When Li Yuan saw Qu Tutong, he didn't ask him for his guilt, but asked him, "Why did you see the general so late?"

Qu Tutong was embarrassed and indignant, and said with tears, "Qu Tutong can't be a martyr, he was defeated and captured, which became a humiliation for this dynasty, and he failed to hold Guanzhong, and he felt deeply ashamed of the acting king."

Li Yuan sighed, "The general is really a loyal minister of the Great Sui!" He was ordered to be released, appointed as the secretary of the military department, and given the title of Jiang Guogong and the governor of the Marshal of the Qin Dynasty.

------

After Qu Tutong surrendered, Guanzhong was initially decided.

In December of the first year of Yining, Li Yuan began to order Guanzhong in the name of the prime minister of the Great Sui Dynasty and recruit the world.

Xue Ju sent his son Xue Rengao to invade Fufeng County, and Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to meet the attack and returned with a great victory.

Li Yuan sent Liu Wenjing to lead troops east out of Tongguan, occupy Hongnong County, and pacify the west of Xin'an; and sent Jiang Xuan and Dou Liang out of the pass to appease Longyou; Li Xiaogong comforted Shannan; Zhang Daoyuan comforted Shandong.

Li Xiaogong went out of Ba and Shu from Jinchuan, and arrived at the book, and surrendered to more than 30 states.
