From Zheng County to the west, it can be described as a smooth road.

This is true not only in the geographical sense, but also in the military sense.

Sima Hao's hand, the basic military spirit is lost, and no one is willing to give his life.

When the Xianbei cavalry, which acted as the vanguard, marched to Bashui, Guo Chuan and Ma Zhan used the river and the mound to resist for a few days. Just as he was about to ask for instructions on what to do next, Sima Hao fled with his family.

The news could hardly be concealed, the defenders collapsed on the spot, and on June 25, Qi Hong and Liu Kun led their troops to Chang'an City, more than 30 miles away.

The people in Chang'an City were panicked.

As the base camp that Sima Hao has operated for many years, some people try to make a final resistance, some people try to escape, and some people are at a loss.

On the evening of 27 June, as the first group of people fled the city, the whole situation took a turn for the worse.

At this time, no one was willing to resist, after all, the king of Hejian had run away, and the people who wanted to take the lead in organizing resistance saw that the others had fled, and immediately lost their minds, hurriedly returned home, packed up their softness, and prepared to leave the city at night.

The Xianbei cavalry rushed in like a tide, and a feast of slaughtering the city began.

They had waited too long for this moment.

Although Chang'an is not as good as Yecheng, it also has mountains of wealth, countless armor battles that can arm tribes, and beautiful women, which is enough for them to enjoy for a long time.

Liu Kun had an unbearable look on his face and tried to stop him, but no one listened to him, so he could only leave gloomily.

The main general, Qi Hong, was full of smiles and didn't care.

That's what I did in Yecheng before, is there anything special about Chang'an? Thousands of miles to help you fight, slaughtering a city is not happy, like words?

Along the way, the sons and daughters have been restrained. If they hadn't been tempted by Chang'an's wealth and women, the devil knows what they would have done on the way.

At this time, Liu Kun couldn't stop it, and Qi Hong couldn't stop it.

Sima You still wants to make one last effort.

"General Qi, it's just a small town and a small town. Chang'an is attracting attention all over the world, but you can't mess around. Sima You persuaded bitterly.

It is true that Chang'an may not be as large as Yecheng, but the political significance of the city is not the same.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the world is paying attention. Whatever you do, it will soon spread to the world. As for what the people of the world will think of this, it is difficult to say, and there will definitely be no good words.

"What Sikong promised, King Runan wants to repent?" Qi Hong asked.

There were several other tribal nobles behind him, who also looked at Sima You angrily.

How can words not count?

Before the big raid on Yuzhou, it was not very cool. Xuchang sent people over from time to time to ask them to restrain themselves and not make too much trouble.

Yes, the more you Sima wants face, I am afraid that my prestige will be damaged, but what does it matter to us?

Thousands of miles away to fight for you, dead and wounded, loss of war horses, and delayed family work, why don't you count the promised things?

"Master Qi, don't talk stupidly! What did Sikong promise? When did Sikong agree to this? Sima You was startled and said repeatedly.

Promising the Xianbei people to rob Chang'an, can Sikong agree?

If he said so publicly, who would dare to serve in his shogunate?

If you don't say anything about the slaughter of Chang'an, we can pretend not to know, and there is still room for justification. But if you're stupid enough to admit it, then I'm sorry, everyone has to find their own way.

This pot can't be buckled on Sikong's head no matter what.

Qi Hong sneered, turned his head and said a few words to several tribal nobles.

Everyone laughed and looked at Sima You with mocking eyes.

Come out to sell, but also pretend, interesting.

No one paid any attention to him anymore, and the group soon entered Chang'an City and joined the carnival sequence.

Sima You shook his head, got on his horse and left.

He was a little annoyed with Dai Yuan, but he didn't come at the critical moment, he cherished his feathers so much?

But we still have to think of a way to do this.

Sikong can't afford the responsibility of slaughtering the city in Chang'an no matter what, so he can only push the responsibility on the Xianbei people.

They are wild and untamed, unruly and uncontrollable, and it is normal for them not to obey orders.

When the Xianbei people have robbed enough, they will reprimand again, find a way to catch a few unlucky ghosts, and punish the canon.

After clarifying his thoughts, Sima You took one last look at Chang'an City, where there was already a cry, and surrounded by his entourage, he rode away.

******

Shao Xun had to thank Ma Zhan and Guo Chuan for resisting for a few days.

It was precisely because of their obstruction that the main force of the forbidden army rushed to the outside of Chang'an City only one day later than the Xianbei people.

Mi Huang has actually received the news.

Needless to say, the anger in my heart is not to mention, how can any normal person endure the greatest evil when he sees the slaughter of the city?

But he is not a hot-blooded teenager anymore, there are too many interests to tie in, and some decisions are not easy to make.

The gate of Chang'an was not closed, and occasionally ordinary people took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The whole city is bathed in butcher's knives and firelight, and in the night it blooms with blood-colored flowers.

Even outside the city, you can hear the sound of miserable cries.

It has been raging for a day and a night, and the Xianbei people are still unwilling to stop.

"Governor, isn't it right for a sergeant to disobey orders, slaughter and plunder cities without authorization, and send troops to fight rebellion?" Shao Xun stood behind Mi Huang and asked softly.

Mi Huang hesitated.

"In the past, the Chinese army in Luoyang plundered without authorization, and the northern army had to send people to hunt down and kill a group of unlucky ghosts to make a show. Are the Xianbei people more noble than the forbidden army? ”

"Sikong must not have known that thieves are so rampant and greedy, and if his old man was present, he would definitely order chaos."

"Chang'an is so important, if tens of thousands of people are slaughtered by Xianbei, the world will be in an uproar, and Sikong's reputation will be damaged, and I am afraid it will not be beautiful."

Shao Xun persuaded sentence by word, making the balance in Mi Huang's heart more and more tilted.

He Lun wanted to speak on the side, and finally said: "It's better to wait for the right guard and the Xiao cavalry to arrive." ”

Shao Xun didn't look at him, continued to look at Mi Huang's face, and said: "Dudu, Yecheng is in trouble, that is Wang Jun's business, and Sikong's reputation will not be greatly damaged." But Chang'an is in trouble, and someone must take responsibility, in case it ......"

He was half-truthful.

If tens of thousands of people are killed by Xianbei in Chang'an, someone may take responsibility, or there may be no, and the big thing will be small, and the small thing will be turned into a small thing.

But Shao Xun said it in a firm tone now, which made Mi Huang subconsciously a little uneasy.

What if, he is really being pulled out as a scapegoat?

It's unlikely, but it's possible.

Once you take responsibility, you may not die, but things like resignation are probably inevitable. Even if Sikong later made amends and promoted him back, a few years were delayed.

Mi Huang opened his mouth, as if to say something.

Sending troops to fight the chaos is justified, right?

Don't let Sikong have a bad reputation, it's also for the sake of his old man, right?

Hunting down a few of the most excessive, hanging their heads everywhere, deterring others, and restoring calm in Chang'an, it seems that things can be controlled to a certain extent?

Thinking of this, he said in a hoarse voice: "Order, the left guard will send troops to fight the chaos, and it will be under the unified command of Shao Xun." ”

"No." Shao Xun, He Lun, Miao Yuan, and several other Sima and generals responded in unison.

Everyone has long been tired of looking down on those Xianbei people.

Things were done so desperately and brutally along the way, and Zhang Fang was not far behind. No one came out, but now there are people who are willing to come forward, and they all want to them.

"Be careful." Mi Huang grabbed Shao Xun, who was wearing armor, and said in a low voice: "Along the way, Xianbei people have also shed blood and made meritorious contributions. Hunt and kill 100 people, just punish a little, don't make a big fuss. ”

"No." Shao Xun responded a little perfunctorily.

Then he looked at the generals and said, "I will lead the soldiers and horses of my headquarters to Pingshuo Gate and Chaomen, drive away thieves, and set up barricades." Miao wish! ”

"The end will be."

"I led the headquarters and divided it into two, to Dumen and Anmen, and set up barriers."

"Yes."

"Zhang Heng."

"The end will be." The former battalion Tiger Ben Zhonglang will Zhang Heng immediately responded.

"You will make three branches, respectively to the Zhicheng Gate, the Zhangcheng Gate, and the Yongmen."

"Yes."

"From the base camp and the strong crossbow battalion ......"

"Auxiliaries ......"

Shao Xun finished ordering them one by one, and finally said: "The military order has been transmitted, and the generals and subordinates will act immediately." Remember, barricades must be set up, and there must be more than one. The strong crossbow camp is divided from the base camp to each gate, the bow and crossbow are wound, and the arrows are full. In short, block the Xianbei people in the city, and don't let them rush out. ”

Blocking the city and not letting the Xianbei people come out is the key.

Street fighting, with those few pairs of armor, they are not opponents at all.

The cavalry can't run, so they can only be slaughtered.

"No." The crowd responded in unison, and then dispersed.

Seeing that Shao Xun had already mounted the horse, Mi Huang hesitated for a moment, and then instructed: "Pay attention to proportion." ”

"Don't worry." Shao Xun said: "The servant knows it in his heart. ”
