Most of the defenders of Chang'an were new soldiers, and when they saw the firelight outside the city forming a sea of fire, stretching for more than ten miles, they were already panicking, and then they saw Xiahou Nan fleeing, and immediately threw down their weapons and scattered.

Someone stopped Xiahou Nan: "The governor is gone, where can we receive the reward?" ”

Xiahou Nan was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and made a gesture: "Come with me." ”

Du Xun was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the defenders to retreat to the inner city and defend the city, but no one listened, and they all followed Xiahou Nan.

"Those who come for profit will be scattered for profit." Du Xi sighed and retreated to the inner city with his servants.

The Han army has entered from the north gate, the inner city gates are in chaos, no one guards, has already been Wang Ping, Li Hu led the troops to attack, Wei Yan divided the troops to take over the three gates of the outer city, leaving only the east gate for the defenders to escape.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Du Xun could not do anything, so he sent someone to report to Dian Man, and ordered him to retreat, most of the soldiers were from Chang'an, and they did not want to flee, so they went to the government to surrender.

At dawn, Wei Yan had occupied Chang'an, out of the list of the people, the people were all happy, running to tell each other, the Han army entered Chang'an, Liu Qi restored the old capital, showing that the Han dynasty is expected to rejuvenate.

Dian Man is in Lantian Pass to supervise the battle, the fifth watch to make rice, Tianming attacked, is eating in the camp, the news of Chang'an came, the camp was in an uproar.

Dian Man was surprised: "Zhang Fei is still in Lantian Pass, where did Wei Yan come from?" ”

The army said: "Wei Yan must have crossed the Qinling Mountains, and the army of Xiegu Road is facing each other, and only Meridian Road can go." ”

Dianman threw the dishes and chopsticks and ordered: "Withdraw immediately, the camp tent must not be moved rashly, and the men and horses will leave lightly from the rear camp." ”

At this time, the sky was cloudy, and the clouds and mist filled the valley in the early spring morning, and Cao's army abandoned his baggage and quietly left the camp.

Xiahou Nan fled to Tongguan, and learned that Liu Qi sent someone to burn the plank road and trapped Xiahou Yuan in Keigu, but he was happy in his heart, and said to Du Xian: "This governor had expected Liu Qi to have a trick, and sure enough, if it weren't for a certain quick decision, we would all be trapped in the city!" ”

At this point, Du Xi also knew that the general trend of Guanzhong had gone, and persuaded Xiahou Nan to stay in Tongguan and return to Luoyang as soon as possible to prepare.

Xiahou Yuan's troops went to Xianyang, heard that Chang'an was lost, Zhang Fei led the army from Lantian Pass into the city, was shocked, and hurriedly led the troops to Wuzhangyuan to meet Xu Huang.

Hearing that Xiahou Yuan was trapped in the valley, he was furious, screamed and fell off the horse, Xu Huang ordered someone to rescue, and sent someone to report to Hao Zhao, the general of Chen Cang, that Guanzhong was no longer guaranteed, and the only way to retreat from the north bank of Weishui was to the east of the river, and then to discuss it in the long run.

At this time, the news of Liangzhou was also extremely unfavorable to Cao's army, Wei Kang was trapped in Jicheng, Han Hao came out of Longshan to rescue, was raided by Zhang He's troops, and the men and horses were defeated, lost the street pavilion, and fled alone.

Wei Kang and others not only did not wait for reinforcements, but Ma Chao pacified Xiliang and led 100,000 elite cavalry to help in the battle.

Pang Tong personally received Wei Kang, Yang Fu and other officials, and saw that he governed the people well, appeased him, and still temporarily took charge of all affairs in Liangzhou.

……

The battle situation in Guanzhong turned overnight, and the news had not yet reached the Central Plains, and people in the territory were already panicking.

Guan Yu broke through Kunyang, shocked Huaxia, Funiu Mountain, Dabie Mountain responded to the heroes, and even Hanoi, Hedong Taihang, Wangwu Mountain also took the opportunity to respond, the territory was stormy.

Guan Yu coerced Xuchang, divided his troops to take Yingchuan and Xingyang, and took the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Pi, who was in his early twenties, was anxious and chanted Cao Cao's name every day, but unfortunately Cao Cao couldn't.

At this time, Xuzhou and Qingzhou reported one after another, the Jiangdong Navy went north along the coast, crossed the sea to Qingzhou, and invaded with Liaodong soldiers and horses, Zhou Yu took Beihai, Liu Yi attacked Donglai, and lost more than ten cities in a few days.

Cao Pi was completely panicked, Jiang Ji, Chen Qun and others were helpless, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Jia Xu, but reported that Jia Xu went to Beibi Mountain to hang filial piety for Zhang Xiu, and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a letter.

There was only one line left in the letter: "Zhuge Kongming, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, the truth is virtual, the virtual is real, the Central Plains is in crisis, beware of Wenpin." ”

Cao Pi looked at his face as dead ashes, and muttered: "Mr. Wenhe, why did you abandon me when you Bao Zhang embroidered for life?" ”

Jia Xu only expected the situation in the Central Plains, but he never expected Zhou Yu's strange soldiers, the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu entered Qingzhou from Beihai, the defense of the eastern front was empty, and the Central Plains was already in crisis.

Cao Pi had no choice but to transfer Xiahoudun to the north, to Mount Tai to face the enemy, was writing a letter to Cao Cao to complain, asking him to return to the Central Plains to preside over the major affairs, Chang'an rushed to the arrival, shocked the pen to the ground, busy asking Jiang Ji, Chen Qun to discuss.

Chen Qun said angrily: "Xiahou Nan retreated before the battle, but he was actually the culprit, so he was escorted back to the city on the same day and beheaded by military justice." ”

"Guanzhong has already gone to the general trend, what does it have to do with Xiahou Nan?" Cao Pi knew that Xiahou Nan had secretly made a great contribution, and he couldn't bear to be punished, and said: "The top priority is to retreat from the enemy, not to cut off my arm. ”

Chen Qun sighed secretly and stopped talking, he really couldn't understand, Xiahou Nan was obviously useless, why did he win the hearts of Cao Cao's father and son?

Jiang Jiyan said: "Chang'an is lost, Xiliang is not guaranteed, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are like duckweed in the water, Xu Gongming is resolute, he will retreat to Hedong in time, and he can be ordered to return to Luoyang from Mengjin." ”

Cao Piyan said: "General Xiahou and Mr. Xun are trapped in Keigu, and their lives and deaths are unknown, how can they be ignored? ”

Jiang Ji sighed: "The plank road has been burned, even if there are soldiers and horses, it is beyond the reach of the whip, Liu Qi has never killed and surrendered, I expect that the two of them have no worries about their lives, they can send people to Hanzhong to inquire about the news, and they can redeem the soldiers with money and grain." ”

The more Cao Pi listened, the more chaotic he became, looking at the urgent reports everywhere on the table, he suddenly became angry, swept it down, and shouted: "It's difficult for me to take this position, quickly call Cao Zijian, I am willing to give way!" ”

Chen Qun hurriedly persuaded: "Today, the strong enemy is coming, the territory is shaking, the prime minister is anxious and difficult to return, and the prince is also the great responsibility of the country, so he can't be rash." Liu Qi has taken Guanzhong, it still takes time to reorganize the troops and horses, appease the people's hearts, and will not send troops again in two or three years. The one that Eastern Wu relied on, only Zhou Yu'er, there was a plan, which could make Zhou Yu buried in the north, if Zhou Yu died, then the Wu army would retreat in panic, and it would not be too late to fight with Liu Qi when Xuzhou was stable. ”

Cao Pi hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Chen Qunyan said: "Since Gongsun Du to Liaodong, there is often a sense of self-reliance, although Gongsun Kang has established himself as a pastor in Pingzhou, but has not obtained the imperial court edict, why not show him as the Marquis of Liaodong, Liu Yi for the Yingzhou Assassin History, so that he Fuzhen Beihai, to destroy Wu Bing." When the two armies fight, General Xiahou takes the opportunity to attack it, first destroy Zhou Yu and then ask Liu Yi, then Qingzhou can be determined! ”

"Mr. Takami!" Cao Pi was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to Donglai to see Liu Yi and ordered him to send the edict to Gongsun Kang.

Jiang Jiyan said: "Jingzhou is a large army, the Central Plains will be a place of long-term war, the Eastern Wu surprise attack on Qingzhou, Hebei is shaken, the prince can no longer stay in the capital, when he returns to Wei County as soon as possible to calm the people's hearts, the consul general." ”

"The doctor's words are exactly what I want." Cao Pi then ordered Zhang Liao to be the general of the town army, the governor of the Central Plains military, and moved to Wei County with all the civil and military forces.

Since Guan Yubing came to Xuchang, he was terrified every day, this red-faced man had glared at him in Xuchang back then, and since then he has often had nightmares, and his palms sweat when he thinks about it.
