Chapter 247: Returning the Three Qins
The time of waiting is the most difficult, Zhu Ling thinks deeply.
The line of fire was seen very clearly at the head of the city wall, but it was not until the moon was close to midsky that Zhu Ling felt that his body was already a little cold, and the front end of the line of fire finally approached Chang'an City.
Seeing that the front end was getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, Zhu Ling, who was lying at the head of the city wall, couldn't help but hold his breath.
Is it General Xiahou? Or a thief?
The lights at the gate of Chang'an City were quite bright, so soon Zhu Ling could see the silhouette of the person who came clearly by the light.
And with just one glance, Zhu Ling could see clearly that it was definitely General Xiahou who was riding a horse at the front!
With a sigh of relief, Zhu Ling cut his hair, and then ran down the city wall without hesitation.
He was going to remind General Xiahou that there were thieves in the city who should not be trusted!
The thief army who broke the city must have felt that the manpower was scarce and incapable of defeating General Xiahou, so he pretended to be Cao Jun to lure General Xiahou close and did something wrong.
With hunger in his stomach and running wildly, Zhu Ling felt that his lungs were about to be gasped out by himself, but it didn't matter, General Xiahou was already very close!
Some of the soldiers in the city had already noticed him, and there was a shout behind him, but Zhu Ling turned a deaf ear.
It should be to deceive General Xiahou, the gate of the city has been opened, Zhu Ling did not hesitate to dodge out, and finally approached General Xiahou's mount with a wild run, and the first time he bowed down and shouted:
"General, Chang'an City has fallen into the hands of thieves, there is fraud in the city, don't be gullible!"
After a bow, there was silence all around.
When Zhu Lingzheng was wondering why the general didn't react, he heard a deep voice laughing:
"Your General Xiahou has also fallen into the hands of thieves like us."
"Who are you? Will it fall? Or would you rather die? ”
Zhu Ling raised his head blankly, and then noticed something he hadn't noticed just now:
General Xiahou was not wearing armor or weapons, and he looked at him as if he wanted to say something, but his lips moved and finally he did not speak.
There was also a big black-faced man riding on a horse, looking at him with interest.
Zhu Ling was unclear about the situation, Xiahou Yuan was reluctant to speak, Zhang Fei was waiting for Zhu Ling to speak, and the scene fell silent.
Breaking the silence here was Liu Bei, who came on horseback:
"I'm tired of waiting a lot, and I went to see the things that broke Chang'an made by our military division, and I was fascinated for a while, don't blame Miaocai."
"I'll enter Chang'an at this time."
"Huh? Who is this person? ”
And after Zhang Fei's explanation, Liu Bei laughed and didn't care:
"It's actually a loyal and brave person, collect troops and pay armor, let him follow Miaocai first."
Zhang Fei smacked his lips regretfully, but he didn't have any opinions, and waved his hand to signal Fan Jiang and Zhang Da to serve this warrior "wide clothes".
This incident was just a small episode, and the group continued to move forward directly into Chang'an.
It's just that Xiahou Yuan occasionally looks back, and he really wants to see what Liu Bei's "thing that breaks Chang'an" looks like.
But naturally he couldn't see anything in the dark night, so Xiahou Yuan's gaze fell on Zhu Ling.
After Zhu Ling's simple explanation, Xiahou Yuan looked at Liu Bei in front of him and sighed quietly:
"That's so..."
Zhu Ling said that he was knocked unconscious, so he didn't know the situation, but Xiahou Yuan had been in the battle for a long time, and he could push out the next situation.
This ghost-like thing was a devastating blow to morale, and when the main general fainted, the soldiers scattered and fled for their lives.
And if that thing is thrown casually, there will be three or four hundred catties, then it is just idle to smash the city gate.
It only takes half a day to break Chang'an like this.
Zhu Lingzi also understood, hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhong Sili ......"
Du Xian, who was accompanying him, was not very worried about this, and shook his head and said:
"Zhong Sili is still Zhong Sili."
Xiahou Yuan has always had a sad look between his eyebrows since he was captured, and when he heard this, the sadness was even worse, and in the end he simply said:
"Zhong Sili is worthy of Han, and Cao Gong is worthy of Zhong Sili."
The defeat of the Weihe Valley Road can be said to be quite complete, and at this moment, Chang'an, which was taken lightly in just one day, is beating his heart.
He understood very well at this time that even if he led 30,000 people to defend Chang'an, the final outcome would probably be no different.
In this battle, from the moment Apo rejected Zhong Xuan's proposal to "close the central first and then the south", the outcome was already doomed.
It's just that, where did Liu Bei find such a king?
Liu Bei naturally didn't have the leisure to think about it, and it should be said that this group of people counted him as the fastest on horseback.
This Chang'an City has prospered, declined, and finally became a dilapidated appearance in front of you.
Suddenly, he recalled the "dream of returning to Chang'an for 30,000 miles" that later generations sighed, and marveled at the prosperous Chang'an created by the Tang Dynasty.
But at the same time, he will also remember that most of the people who greeted him at Yangping Pass when he entered the Guanzhong were Hanzhong, but there were also a considerable number of Guanzhong people, and even a lot of Chang'an people.
They experienced the war of Dong Zhuo and many warlords whose names are not clear, survived with difficulty, escaped from Chang'an, and survived in Guanzhong.
But in the end, Guanzhong could not survive anymore and was forced to flee to Hanzhong.
The people of Chang'an, Sanfu, and Hanzhong all regarded Liu Bei as hope, hoping to return to the peaceful and prosperous days of the former Han Dynasty.
But the pride surging in Liu Bei's chest reminded him that he couldn't be satisfied with this.
The restoration of Chang'an is just closer to that distant dream.
But at this time, Liu Bei still needs to celebrate.
After walking forward for a while, Liu Bei saw Kong Ming waiting for him, so he greeted him as soon as possible, and said angrily:
"Kong Ming, don't wait for me!"
Kong Ming laughed, pointed to his side and said:
"In this case, the lord and I retreat outside the city, and ask Zhong Sili to cooperate with the attack on the city."
The night was dim, and Liu Bei noticed the silent Zhong Xuan next to him after Kong Ming pointed at him.
What Zhong Miao didn't expect was that Liu Bei got off the horse to meet him as soon as possible.
Zhong Xuan was anxious: "Xuande Gong doesn't have to be like this! ”
But in terms of strength, Zhong Xuan is certainly not as good as Liu Bei.
After bowing uprightly, Liu Bei said:
"When I was in Hanzhong, I heard the name of Zhong Sili from the mouths of the people."
"Zhong Sili overturned with a single tree, which can be described as painstaking."
There is no need for many superfluous words, Zhong Xuan just sighed at this and waved his hand:
"If Xuan Degong has anything to say, you might as well go in and say it."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Please wait a while, enter Chang'an today, and prepare for one more thing." ”
"Oh?" Zhong Miao was puzzled, and immediately remembered the dilapidated palace in Chang'an City.
But a moment later, Zhong Xuan stood with Xiahou Yuan and the others, watching Liu Bei return and climb up from the city gate.
Kong Ming and Zhang Fei were on Liu Bei's side, and the Han emperor's uncle watched the torches connect in a line on the city wall, extending from afar and flowing into Chang'an.
Several people also know that the roots of this torch line are in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Jingyi, and Zhuojun.
With a loud voice, Liu Bei shouted loudly:
"Today, Chang'an will recover, and Sanqin will be restored!"
