Chapter 37: Relieved and relaxed

Chang'an was successfully pacified.

Nearly 10,000 enemies were killed in this battle, including the die-hard guards of Guo Yan, Li Dao, and Xu Rong, as well as some stubborn Xiliang soldiers.

But in relation to decapitation.

The greater result was the successful subjugation of nearly 190,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army, which doubled the strength of the troops under Liu Xie's control and greatly increased its strength.

Meantime.

In addition to Xu Rong being beheaded by Zhang Xiu, Li Dao and Guo Yan were captured by the army and waited to be released.

"Your Majesty, the leader of the traitors has been captured, Chang'an City has been decided, please give an order, how to arrange it?" Lu Bu knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Xie and asked respectfully.

"It is my decree that the army shall clean up the corpses of the city and burn them outside the city, so that no plague may be caused, and that immediately after the cleansing all the soldiers shall go out of the city and set up camp, and shall not disturb the people in the city. ”

"If there is a person who disturbs the people, military justice shall be imposed. Liu Xiewei shouted.

"The ministers obeyed. The generals responded in unison.

"After the army left the city, all the generals came to the Taishou Mansion to discuss matters. Liu Xie added one more sentence and said no more.

Naturally, the generals did not dare to disobey.

First, the army was dispatched outside the city, encamped, and then came to the Taishou Mansion together.

"Ministers see Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for 10,000 years, and the Han Dynasty for 10,000 years. All the civil and military said in unison.

"Flatten. Liu Xie, who was on the high seat, raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The civil and military forces in the mansion stood respectfully on both sides, waiting for Liu Xie's will.

"This time to pacify Chang'an City, it took only a month to bring me to the beginning of the army, this is the work of your Aiqing. Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction.

"It all depends on His Majesty's martial arts to make the Xiliang soldiers happy and convinced, so that there can be this great victory. All the civil and military said in unison, full of respect.

The art of war is unparalleled in strategy, and many wise strategists can use most of the strategies to fight the enemy, but only the highest art of war can rarely be reached, that is, the soldier who surrenders without a fight.

In this battle of Chang'an, Liu Xie, in the name of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's righteousness, and Xiaozhi's reasoning and emotion, successfully persuaded the Xiliang army in the city to surrender eight or nine out of ten, so that the soldiers under his command were saved from the big war and losses, which led to this great victory.

Otherwise, if it is really a strong attack on Chang'an City, then even if Chang'an City is taken, both sides will lose, and the forces under Liu Xie's control will also be greatly damaged.

"Chang'an City is settled, Sizhou has all taken control of my hands, and Dong Zhuo's remnants have all been disposed of, and the purpose of my personal expedition this time has been achieved. Liu Xie said with relief.

The Great War ended.

The Xiliang Army, known as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, surrendered to all of them, adding several times the strength of Liu Xie.

Xu Rong was killed by Zhang Xiu, Guo Yan and Li Wei were also executed by Liu Xie immediately after they were captured, and the nine clans of the three were wiped out, and all the remaining sins under Dong Zhuo's command were cleaned up, and there will be no more Dong Zhuo in the future.

"Your Majesty is to be reprimanded for the sins of his ministers. ”

At this time, Zhang Ji stood in the center of the hall and knelt in front of Liu Xie.

"What is Aiqing's crime?" Liu Xie said with a faint smile.

"The minister almost wiped out the imperial army, if it weren't for His Majesty's wisdom to see through Xu Rong's plan, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also be in danger, this is the crime of the minister, please Your Majesty to deal with the minister, the minister will never complain. Zhang Ji said with some shame.

"Please Your Majesty don't dispose of your uncle and punish one of your ministers. Seeing Zhang Ji like this, Zhang Xiu immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Hahaha. ”

"I see the loyalty of your uncle and nephew, otherwise you would have gone to hell with Guo Yan and other rebels. Liu Xie laughed loudly, he naturally trusted the loyalty of the two.

Moreover, this time to pacify Chang'an City, thanks to their uncle and nephew who opened the city gate, otherwise Liu Xie would not have been able to complete the front and rear attacks, giving Guo Yan and them a siege, so that they could not escape, it can be said that their uncle made the first contribution to the battle of Chang'an this time.

"Your Majesty doesn't blame the courtiers for their negligence. Zhang Ji raised his head and said weakly.

"It was your negligence that gave me a great opportunity to break the city, and this is not an exaggeration. Liu Xie said with a smile.

The civil and military ministers also echoed one after another.

"Thank you, Your Majesty's forgiveness, my uncle and nephew will die without retribution. Zhang Ji kowtowed, grateful.

"Zhang Xiu. Liu Xie's eyes rolled.

"The minister is here. Zhang Xu immediately replied respectfully.

"I heard that you are a spear prodigy Yuan, and that Lingshi has two apprentices?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows that his senior brother Zhang Ren is a general in Yizhou, and he also knows that the master has accepted a junior brother not long ago, but he has never met them. Zhang Xiu replied honestly.

"Soon, I will give you the three of you a chance to meet. Liu Xie said with a smile.

Gun prodigy Yuan, a spear skill is extremely amazing, and taught three generals who galloped on the battlefield, the most famous of which is Zhao Yun, the second is Zhang Xiu, and the third is Zhang Ren, each of whom is a first-class general.

At the time of Luoyang, among the talents recruited by Liu Xiesheng for the princes, there were Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Hearing this, Zhang Xiu said gratefully.

"This time Chang'an City is settled, Dong Zhuo plots to completely pacify the rebellious party, and I have finished a major event. Liu Xie said with a sigh, and there was a sense of relaxation in his tone.

For Liu Xielai, if Dong Zhuo's troubles cannot be completely calmed down, it will affect the Han Dynasty under his control, as well as the chaotic ambitions of the princes.

But with the settlement of Chang'an City, the chaotic party has been eliminated, and everything is at ease.

Next, Liu Xie can free up his hands to deal with the princes and take back all the authority that should belong to his emperor.

And more importantly, after taking full charge of Sizhou and merging the state, Liu Xie was able to gather luck and establish his own Yun Dynasty.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, whether you will take advantage of the morale of our army to send troops to Liangzhou. Lu Bu asked excitedly.

"Zhang Ji, are you here to tell me about the situation in Liangzhou?" Liu Xie looked at Zhang Jidao.

"Back to Your Majesty, the land of Liangzhou is extremely vast, the border is close to the Western Regions, which is divided into seven counties, namely Jincheng, Xiping, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Xihai, Dong Zhuo was the time of Liangzhou's assassination, and the county town controlled by him was only four of them, and the other three were controlled by Liangzhou's local forces Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two joined forces against Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo did not dare to go too far, and Han Sui also intersected with the Qiang people, so Dong Zhuo maintained a strong situation. Zhang Ji replied respectfully.

"If I give you an army of 50,000, can you regain control of the four counties that were once controlled by Dong Zhuo?" Liu Xie said in a deep voice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers will not hesitate to do so. Zhang Ji immediately respectfully accepted the order.

"Good. ”

"Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu listens to the order. Liu Xie immediately became serious.

"The minister is here. The two immediately stepped forward.

"I ordered you two to lead the headquarters of 50,000 soldiers and horses to the four counties of Liangzhou, and there must be no mistake. Liu Xiewei decreed.

"The minister took the order. The two said without hesitation.
