Bai Yuanfei hurried in, his face turned purple and he was panting.
Cheng Dalei was also a little surprised. After all, Bai Yuanfei was someone who had seen big scenes, so he shouldn't be so panicked.
"What's going on, all the fuss about?"
"Chang'an, Chang'an City..." Bai Yuanfei finally took a breath and said a complete sentence: "Chang'an City surrendered."
"What!"
Cheng Dalei was shocked, and the joy of meeting Qin Man for the first time was gone.
Bai Yuanfei knelt down and said, "My subordinates have neglected their duties and have only found out the news now. Tonight Chang'an City will open its gates to allow the people to escape. Tomorrow, the Rong army will advance into Chang'an City."
There was a sudden silence in the hall. Many people looked at each other and wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word.
Guan Yu originally wanted to ask if there would be any mistakes in the news, but with Bai Yuanfei's ability, he could not even enter the Rong camp, not to mention that there were already refugees leaving the city, so there would definitely be no mistakes.
In the final analysis, I feel a little unwilling in my heart.
Everyone tried every possible means and racked their brains to save the life of Chang'an City. To this end, Cheng Dalei even mobilized a large army. As long as Chang'an City can hold on for a while, there may not be a way to defeat the Rong tribe.
But just when Qin Man arrived, Chang'an City surrendered.
In fact, Bai Yuanfei is not to blame for this incident. The communication between Chang'an City and the Rong Clan is extremely secretive. Even some people in the upper echelons of the empire have just found out. The Rong Clan has surrounded Chang'an, so how could the news get out.
Seeing Cheng Dalei slumped on the chair, his face looked a little pale, a little frustrated and a little unwilling.
Guan Yu has been accompanying Cheng Dalei to think of a solution these days, and knows what kind of hardship Cheng Dalei has gone through. Through his observation over the past few days, Guan Yu also roughly understands how Cheng Dalei does things.
From Qingniu Mountain to Liangzhou, Cheng Dalei built a huge family fortune with his hands. Outsiders only thought that Cheng Dalei was lucky or was born with resourcefulness. Of course this was not the case. Every time he thought of a method, Cheng Dalei had to discuss and deduce it with the people around him.
Once again, I had to start over and make sure everything was in order before taking any action.
Only in this way can we truly grasp every step of the action and prevent things from going awry during actual execution.
This time was just normal. Cheng Dalei had worked very hard for the situation in front of him and hadn't had a full night's sleep for many days.
But no one expected that they would surrender today. Everyone knew that this would be a fatal blow to Cheng Dalei.
"Master, your health is very important. Even if Chang'an City surrenders, we may not be able to do something."
Cheng Dalei nodded, and slowly sat up straight on the chair, his face gradually returning to calmness. As a commander of an army, he must be prepared for any unexpected events. But... he really didn't expect that Chang'an City would surrender.
.
Cheng Dalei took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid air in his lungs.
"Send a message to Li Xingzai quickly. I want to discuss matters with him."
After saying that, Cheng Dalei shook his head again: "No, I will go there myself."
Cheng Dalei set foot on the Black Bull, and together with Guan Yu, Qin Man, and Zhao Zilong, went to Li Xingzai's camp.
The two armies camped separately, not too far apart, but not too close either.
Along the way, Cheng Dalei was so anxious that he fired his bow without turning back. The fact that the Rong tribe entered Chang'an City was irreversible. Guan Yu was right, there might not be nothing for everyone to do.
But there is very little that can be done.
As he hurried forward without stopping, he saw a group of people approaching from the front, each holding their weapons to guard against the possibility of being an enemy.
"Is this Mr. Cheng?" a voice came from far away.
Cheng Dalei recognized Xu Wentian's voice and hurriedly said, "Where is your master? I have something important to discuss with him."
"Cheng Dalei..." Li Xingzai's voice sounded.
The two teams approached each other. When Cheng Dalei saw Li Xingzai, Li Xingzai also saw Cheng Dalei.
When the two parties met, they both felt that the other was pitiful. From each other's faces, you could see the same frustration and unwillingness.
"Cheng Dalei." Li Xingzai said slowly: "There is nothing to do in the north. Let's go back to our respective places to prepare for the future."
"Not necessarily, not necessarily..." Cheng Dalei repeated these two words several times.
Li Xingzai shook his head, breaking Cheng Dalei's last illusion.
…
When the sky light appeared in the east and the red sun jumped out from the top of the mountain, the passage specially opened by the Rong people slowly closed.
Those who didn't have time to escape screamed and fell to the ground crying, but it still didn't help. They either rushed out and tried the Rong clan's mace with their own heads. Or they turned around and returned to Chang'an City, silently
Pray, pray to God to let you survive this disaster.
When the red sun rose in the sky, the gates on all sides of Chang'an City were opened.
When the Rong people entered the city from the west gate, the civil and military officials of the imperial court knelt on both sides of the avenue, everyone with their heads lowered.
However, the soldiers of the Rong tribe showed off their power, riding proudly on their horses. Those with scars on their bodies became the greatest glory at this moment.
Even ordinary people know what this means.
It has been more than 120 years since the founding of Dawu, but the city of Chang'an was not unbroken by the Rong tribe. Once upon a time, Emperor Ming was driven away from Chang'an City by the Rong tribe, and he ran as fast as a rabbit.
But surrendering to the Rong clan and handing over the city of Chang'an was the first time since the founding of the country. It was also the last time. From today on, the rule of the Li royal family has completely ended, and they are no longer the masters of this land.
The Rong tribe prospered from the grasslands and deserts, living in pursuit of water and grass, fighting against the sky and the earth, and were denounced as barbarians by the empire.
But this group of barbarians finally broke into Chang'an City. They didn't even have time to wash off the blood on their weapons, but they were still decent and upright people.
Nohara Huo sat on the big cart, which was pulled by eight horses, and behind him were the leaders of the eight tribes of the Rong tribe.
At this moment, everyone's face was filled with joy, as if they were drinking the best wine in the world, even Nohara Hui was no exception.
The name of this wine is power, and it is the most intoxicating.
Although there are millions of soldiers at the city gate, if you don't enter Chang'an, you will only be a hero all the way. Only by truly stepping into Chang'an City can you appreciate the taste.
This represents the supreme power and supreme glory. The master of one hundred singles and eight cities in the empire's thirteen states and nine thousand miles of country.
Naturally, the empire is still divided among feudal lords, with heroes vying for the throne, and the area actually controlled by Ye Yuanhuo is not large.
But there is no doubt that he is the most powerful competitor on this land.
Eight horses cleared the way, and both civilians and officials on both sides of the road kowtowed. Of course they were curious, but no one dared to raise their heads to take a look at the appearance of the new king.
Nohara Hui sat on the big horse and was pulled forward by the horse. He would keep moving forward until he entered the palace and sat on that chair.
From beginning to end, only one person could sit on that chair.
