The fall of Chang'an City was entirely due to a wrong decision made by Xia Houyuan. The battle lasted from morning to dark, and the sound of fighting gradually stopped. Most of Cao's army was killed, and the rest surrendered. Zhang Ji led the remaining troops to fight their way out of the north gate.
, and then he saved his life. Looking at the dragon army's battle flag raised on the top of the city, Zhang felt like crying but had no tears. He appointed himself as the prefect of Chang'an and was always on guard against Han Sui and others. It can be said that he dedicated his life to death.
Chang'an is an important town in the northwest of Cao's army, and it is also the northwest gateway of Cao's army. Now that it is captured by Long Fei, the northwest gate of Cao's army is wide open, and there is no place to defend at all. Luoyang is in danger. Losing these two places will hinder Cao Cao's plan to attack Long Fei.
Heavy damage.
This time when Chen arrived, Ma Yunlu and his wife were able to quickly approach Chang'an, thanks to Wei Yan's suggestion. Wei Yan suggested taking the Ziwu Valley and going straight to the city of Chang'an. Then everyone knew that the road in Ziwu Valley was difficult. If Cao Jun set up an ambush again, Long
The army will definitely never return. But Wei Yan said that it was precisely because the road was difficult to walk, easy to defend and difficult to attack, that Cao Jun felt that they would never get over it again.
Wei Yan's words reminded Long Fei of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang refuted Wei Yan's unexpected plan, causing Shu Han to miss a good opportunity to dominate the world. Long Fei was not that stupid. Since he knew the result, he did not hesitate. He immediately gave the order.
Chen Dao was ordered to lead his troops through here, bypassing all the checkpoints set by Zhang Ji, and unexpectedly appeared outside the city of Chang'an. Zhang Ji was indeed unprepared, so he teamed up with Xianyu Fuli and captured Chang'an.
The handsome man Long Fei came to Chang'an, touched the city wall, and looked at the familiar reception. It was here that Long Fei got the biggest fortune in his life, that is, a few good brothers. From here he led his troops and left.
Wancheng, Jingzhou, marching westward to capture Yizhou, Hanzhong, and now returning here again, I can't help but feel a little emotional. Thinking about my struggles over the years, I finally have a foothold now.
"I ordered Fei Yi to be the governor of Xiliang and manage Xiliang. There are many political affairs in Chang'an. I ordered Zhao Yun to be the general of Zhenxi and lead the troops to garrison Chang'an!"
At the same time, Long Fei made adjustments to the army and horses in the name of the imperial court, appointing Xu Huang as the general to conquer the east and stationed in Chaisang; Gao Lan as the general to conquer the south and stationed in Nanhai; Wenpin as the general to conquer the north and stationed in Wancheng; Ma Chao as the general to conquer the south.
General Xi, stationed in Tianshui; Gao Shun, general Zhennan, stayed in Yizhou; Huang Zhong, general Zhenbei, stayed in Xiangyang; Zhang Liao, general Zhendong, stationed in Nanjun; other generals at all levels were promoted to one level to assist several generals in garrisoning various places.
.Leave four major bodyguard commanders as support to stay in Xiangyang, and appointed Zhang Ren as General Supervisor and Military Counselor.
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Li Ru and others were the four generals of the east, west, south and north respectively, and Huang Yueying was the general of the central army, forming a military department responsible for Long Fei, the king of Chu, and had nothing to do with the imperial court. At the same time, Zhang Yi
, Zhang Yi, Leng Bao, Ma Dai, Pang De and other surrendered generals were transferred back to Xiangyang to study, redistribute troops and horses, and coordinate with the generals to guard. And Huang Xu, Lu Xun, Deng Ai, Lu Meng, Dianman, Xu Yi and other junior generals
He also granted the title of general to command the troops.
After reorganizing and expanding the army, the total strength of the Dragon Army quickly expanded from less than 100,000 to 230,000. The troops were strong, brave and good at fighting, and all the princes in the world were shocked by it.
In terms of civil servants, Xun Yu was still in charge of official affairs in various places, and Xun You, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, Ju Sue, Zhen Rao, Mi Huan and others around Liu Xie were transferred to Xun Yu's subordinates. Jiang Wan was appointed governor of Yizhou, and Fei Yi was appointed governor of Yizhou.
The governor of Liangzhou, Chen Qun was the governor of Jingzhou, and Jushou was the governor of Jiaozhou. Supplementing Long Sheng, Guo Yi and others to collaborate with Xun Yu in handling court affairs also gave future controllers an opportunity to practice.
In other aspects, Wang Wei's business is still going on as usual, Yan Rou's map drawing work must be stepped up, Ma Jun's weapon research and development must be improved, and Talun's war horse breeding must also be expanded. The most critical thing is the Taoist priest of Zhongnan Mountain
Master Qingyu's saltpeter refining work is the key to the reform of weapons. If someone can understand the development of thermal weapons from these gunpowders, it will be an achievement that spans the ages.
Long Fei made drastic reforms in his own internal affairs, and he did not forget the war in Xiliang. With Zhao Yun blocking Tongguan, he felt relieved. Cao Cao's reinforcements could not come in, which meant that Xiahou Yuan attacked Xiliang's troops.
There is no way to retreat. As long as you hold on to Chang'an, those people will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later.
We learned about the fall of Chang'an one afternoon. Xia Houyuan had just fought a bloody battle with Yan Xing's troops in Jincheng. As Jiang Wei expected, when Xia Houyuan attacked Xiliang, Cheng Yin and others ran away blindly.
They are waiting for Yan Xing to take action, and then they will look at the situation. If Yan Xing wins, they will help Yan Xing. If Xia Houyuan wins, they must surrender. As long as they can keep their position and the full strength in their hands, they don't care about fighting with that person.
master.
Yan Xing also risked his life for his own destiny this time. He gathered all the soldiers and horses he had in Jincheng to fight Xia Houyuan. The double-counterattack was fierce. In just one noon, no less than ten thousand people were killed or injured.
Xia Houyuan punched the map: "Yan Xing is crazy. He came here to fight with us regardless of Wuwei. If he leaves and sends people to lead his troops to seize Wuwei, then we will win this battle!"
"No!" The deputy general had just left. Jiang Wei hurried in and said to Xia Houyuan, sweating profusely: "General, something big has happened!"
When the deputy general who was about to go out heard these words, he stopped and turned back to look at Jiang Wei. Xia Houyuan wondered: "What's wrong? Is Long Fei here too? Just right! Let him take a look at us.
It’s awesome!”
Jiang Wei shook his head: "No, Long Fei did not come to Xiliang, but went to Chang'an!" Jiang Wei waved his hand, and Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu walked in, supporting a Cao Jun. The man's face was tired, and the dust all over his body told everyone,
He had traveled a long way. When the man saw Xia Houyuan, his eyes showed joy, and he hurriedly took out the letter from his chest and handed it to Xia Houyuan.
Through the back of the silk, you can see the bright red color. Due to sweat stains, the handwriting is a little blurry, but Xia Houyuan can still see that it is Zhang Ji's handwriting. He hurriedly unfolded it, and the blood book appeared in front of him. He read it carefully.
Several times, I landed on the chair with a thud: "This! How is this possible! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Suddenly, Xia Houyuan stood up from his commanding position and glared at Jiang Wei fiercely: "Say! Are you a spy? If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
"This...!" Jiang Wei didn't know how to answer. He had already read this letter. Based on Zhang Ji's speculations about the war, he deduced that the most likely enemy among them was the spy Jiang Wei. Before Chang'an was attacked, Zhang Ji
After writing this letter to Xia Houyuan, he expressed his doubts and uneasiness about Jiang Wei in detail.
Jiang Wei took off his sword, pulled it out half a foot, and looked at Xia Houyuan: "Since the general doesn't believe me, why should I, Jiang Wei, die?" After that, he was about to put it on his neck.
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu hurriedly hugged Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen said: "Brother, since they don't believe in us, let's just leave! There is no need to die to prove our will! Generals like them won't care about the lives of little people like you and me, let's leave!"
Jiang Wu pulled out his sword and pointed it at Xia Houyuan: "You ungrateful villain, our brothers risk life and death for you, but you actually doubt my eldest brother, okay! Come on! Let's see who kills whom today?"
The scene almost got out of control at one point. The soldiers came in and surrounded the three people. The two sides were at war with each other and almost started to fight. Xia Houyuan thought for a long time with his eyes closed. After reading Zhang Ji's letter, he also had a suspicion about Jiang Wei in his mind.
Thinking back carefully, it is true that Jiang Wei pushed hard for the plan to attack Xiliang, but it was also with his own consent. As the commander-in-chief, he is definitely more responsible than Jiang Wei when he ends up like this.
Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to push down Jiang Wu's sword, and said to Xia Houyuan: "General, the Dragon Army is fierce. They have occupied Chang'an and cut off our army's retreat. If we cannot retreat immediately, it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed. I know there is a small road from Jincheng. Take it
Peace, the north can reach Hexi, and as long as we reach Hexi, we can meet up with King Wei's men and horses!"
Jiang Wei spoke softly, but Xia Houyuan could no longer hold it. He nodded slightly and signaled everyone to put down their weapons: "Boyo is familiar with Xiliang. This time, life and death all depend on Boyo. From today on, Boyoe becomes
To advise the general, when we arrive in the north, I will report to the King of Wei to officially confer him the title!"
With the back road cut off, Jincheng could no longer escape. The defeat of Cao Jun was a great blessing for Yan Xing. Before Yan Xing could send troops to pursue him, Cheng Yin, Li Kan and others couldn't wait to lead their troops to follow.
Cheng Xiang was ambushed by Xia Houyuan on the way, and suffered heavy losses. Yan Xing was particularly happy and said to everyone: "These guys who follow the wind, let's see what they can do against me!"
Because Jincheng was in danger, Yan Xing had to ask Sima Yi for advice, released Sima Yi from prison, and became a military advisor again. In this battle, it was with Sima Yi's help that he was able to stop Cao Jun in Jincheng. Seeing Yan Xing's happy look, Sima Yi said:
"Your Majesty can lead his troops to pursue us again at this time, and we will definitely defeat Cao's army!"
Yan Xing nodded and said: "Okay! The military advisor has made great achievements in this battle. When he returns to Wuwei, the lonely king will be rewarded heavily! Come on, send the order to pursue!"
Xia Houyuan ambushed Cheng Yin and killed Li Kan. Li Kan felt that there would be no more pursuers, so he just kept walking. Before reaching Shicheng, he was caught up by Yan Xing. Both sides fought for a while. This time, Cao Jun suffered heavy losses, including all his food, grass and baggage.
They were robbed. They fled to Anding and had to protect themselves. They waited for Yan Xing to retreat before continuing to walk. Without food and grass, the soldiers complained, and many took the opportunity to escape. When they came, there were 30,000 troops, and after leaving Anding, only less than one man remained.
Ten thousand.
Jiang Wei said: "General, don't be discouraged. As long as you reach the north, you can stop and rest not far from the Wei King's fiefdom. This place still belongs to Xiliang, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time."
The army marched straight to the north without stopping. Just after leaving Anding City, suddenly, smoke billowed in front, and the deafening sound of horse hooves came. A large group of cavalry rushed towards them from the horizon. Cao's soldiers were frightened and at a loss what to do.
