Royal Road

Standing on the towering city wall that is three feet and five feet high and more than six feet wide, Liu Yao looked down at the wide city that could not be seen. This is the capital of the Ding Ding of the Qin and Han dynasties. It is also a magnificent man, the afterglow and symbol of glory.

Chang'an, the western capital, covers three broad roads and opens twelve gates. Such a heroic city was so simple that it was taken down by himself. Rao was Liu Yao who once attacked Emperor Jin, and he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"General, Weiyang Palace has been captured. However, the treasures in the palace are not as many as imagined. It should have been plundered by Xianbei of the Duan clan before. Fufeng and Fengyi counties have already sent troops to attack the city. Our army is ready to attack the city. There are only 8,000 troops. If the reinforcements are not available, they will definitely not be able to hold."

Liu Yao didn't turn around, so he stared at Xiongcheng under his feet, and sighed for a long time: "If you can get Chang'an, why worry about the failure of Han Dynasty?"

In fact, he also knew that the capture of Chang'an this time was a coincidence. The King of Hejian was defeated before and fled to Taibai Mountain to avoid disaster, but was later rescued by his subordinates and seized Chang'an. As a result, the prefects of the three counties sent troops together, and there were officers sent by the King of East China Sea, and the King of Hejian was finally trapped. Soon after sitting alone in Chang'an, he asked to go to Luoyang, but was killed by people on the road.

After so many turbulent battles, Xidu's defenses inevitably slackened. In addition to the emergency in Jingzhou, many defenders were sent to the south. This allowed the Hun, who had sharpened their swords a long time ago, to stare at the opportunity. Taking advantage of the solar eclipse on the New Year of July, Liu Yao led eight thousand light horses to ride west. Chang'an defender had not had time to put down the city gate, he was drummed down by the iron horse.

However, he broke into Chang'an, but was extremely difficult to defend. Not to mention the garrisons in the counties of Yongzhou, the tens of thousands of people in the city, are enough to bring them a deadly threat. Rather than be trapped in a lonely city, it is better to wrap up your belongings and evacuate. Like those true nomads, as long as the people of the money and silks don't care about attacking the city. Although this is contrary to Liu Yuan's original intention, it is the best arrangement for their team.

Sure enough, the man behind him sighed slightly: "As long as the generals and soldiers are still there, this western capital will return to the generals one day. Now when Hedong is using people, if he wastes his forces on defending the city, but It's not good for the general. What's more, Feng Yi sent troops to help, which is a great opportunity to seize."

It's clear in my heart, but it makes it hard to let go. This is the first time Liu Yao has entered such a metropolis. It is so exciting to be able to personally control such a magnificent city. It is a pity to only plunder money. However, no matter how hard it is in his heart, he also knows the severity, and looked at Chang'an City reluctantly, before turning his head: "Shu Ya said that just taking Chang'an is enough to get the reward of the father. It’s not the general’s responsibility."

His cavalry walked too fast, and the reinforcements behind could not keep up. How to defend the city without reinforcements? Rather than holding on and waiting for assistance, it is better to retreat first, and the soldiers and horses in Feng Yi do not react in time, turn back, and take possession of Feng Yi County! Feng Yi is not better than Chang'an, but is the main road connecting Sizhou and Yongzhou, and it is also adjacent to Tongguan. If you get Feng Yi, Si and Yong will be able to get through and encircle Hedong County. For Han Guo's next plan, it is very important.

Therefore, Chang'an was abandoned, and the crime was not with him. The capture of Feng Yi is another great achievement. Adding the two together, why not get Liu Yuan's great reward? And the best strategy for this round of rounds comes entirely from this new caster.

The approving gaze circled around the young man in front of him. Liu Yao smiled and said: "If Shuya thought of the strategy of taking advantage of the solar eclipse to attack the city, how could I easily get this record? This battle, the monarch is very powerful!"

The young man with a long jade body and a handsome face smiled slightly: "If the general does not doubt, how can such a record come from? The general treats someone like a national soldier, and he should repay it as a national soldier."

This is neither overbearing nor overbearing, and it also carries the reserved pride of a stockman. Liu Yao also likes to use Jin people, which is very similar to Liu Yuan. In his opinion, the Huns were always in a weak position, and it would be extremely difficult to occupy the Central Plains without a large number of Jin families. And this Zhang Shuya who came to vote for him, although the family is not obvious, but is familiar with the high school of Bingzhou, and has a deep sense of military affairs. He is extremely talented and is really a rare adviser. If it is used well, I am afraid it will be more than that.

Suppressing the stupidity in his heart, Liu Yao laughed: "If you have Shuya, why worry Feng Yi can't? And this time, the prestigious thief of the Shangdang party will not be able to pretend to be able to hold on to the city this time. If Feng Yi is taken down, maybe the king will move to Bingzhou, and then it will be the time to make contributions!"

Zhang Dian's gaze narrowed slightly, and he nodded in a gentle manner: "What the general said is quite true. May the general win the party, attack Luoyang, and make another wonderful achievement."

These words caught Liu Yao's itch, smiled and patted Zhang Dian on the shoulder, and he turned and strode down the city.

This rude gesture caused Zhang Dian's eyebrows to twist slightly, but he quickly let go. Lifting his footsteps lightly, he followed the steps of the Xiongnu man. As long as he keeps up with this person, why worry that his goal cannot be achieved?

Coming to Sizhou to vote for the Huns was a plan he made when he left Youzhou. Since the king of Taiyuan has been wicked, it is impossible to return to Bingzhou, and it may not be safe to join the court. It's better to start again and make another plan. But who to vote for, he did think about it carefully before finally deciding.

As for Liu Yuan, the king of Han Dynasty, he will probably not be taken seriously. And Liu Yuan's sons also like to use the Huns, and don't pay much attention to the Jin ministers. Therefore, he chose Liu Yao as the benefactor. This person is also in the royal line. Although he is a fake, he is highly valued by Liu Yuan, and he is extremely capable of fighting. He voted for him, although his position is slightly insufficient, but he would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, and he is easier to get ahead. Moreover, there are hidden dangers within the Huns. If Liu He succeeds to the throne, he doesn't know what trouble will be caused. This Liu Yao can be a living move.

And this battle of Chang'an was the start he carefully prepared. At that time, the emperor died violently and the hundreds of officials were separated, and a few of Tai Shiling's supervising officials fell on the Xiongnu's side. As for the Shangdang solar eclipse, he always felt strange. After careful questioning, they inferred that there might be a solar eclipse in July based on Zhengdan's eclipse points.

And he, like Liang Zixi, said to Liu Yao and asked him to choose to attack the city after the eclipse. Sure enough! This battle not only played out Liu Yao's trust in him, but also pierced the tricks used by the Shangdang. After Feng Yijun is resolved, He Chou will not attack the Party anymore!

A sneer smile appeared on Zhang Dian's lips. He had heard of Qiniang's fate, and also learned that the marriage between the Liang family and the Wang family had failed. But just so, how can he vent his hatred? It's not so simple to take the revenge of a wife and leave home. That Liang Zixi owes him a lot!

The muddy smell of blood rushed into his nose, Zhang Dian's nose twitched twice, without squinting, he stepped on the dirty blood under his feet, and followed Liu Yao closely.

"Wei Yi, the Xiongnu have already withdrawn for seventy miles. The remaining cities do not have much food storage, so they should not be able to support thousands of soldiers and horses. This time the siege of Jinyang has been completely resolved!" Sitting in the county government of Qixian County , Linghu Kuang was full of excitement.

The battle this time was really fun! After the eclipse of the sun, he and Yiyan both attacked Qixian at the same time, and Shangdang's thunderbolt artillery helped out. I don't know if it was scared by the last battle of Yangyi, the Huns guarding soldiers in Qixian City only persisted for half a day before abandoning the city and fleeing.

The cavalry ambushing on the side immediately chased after it, but the Huns who broke out of the siege were reduced by another 20%. They didn't even dare to enter the city along the way, and fled in all directions. It takes a lot of effort to gather these defeated soldiers. And the Great Wilderness of Lishi increased the burden of the Huns in Bingzhou. I am afraid that in a short period of time, no one would dare to offend Jinyang!

This is a big win! Since returning to Jinyang, he has fought uselessly for more than half a year, and once again joined forces with Yi Yan, Linghu Kuang remembered the joy of that day. The soldiers and horses of the Shangdang are so different from the officers and soldiers! If every Jin army can do this, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? !

Although it was a big victory, Yi Yan's expression did not change. He coldly nodded: "If you take back Qixian, the Xiongnu will run out of food. The cities like Jingling, etc. can be taken slowly. We will consolidate Jinyang first."

This is the most important thing right now. Autumn grain is too late to plant, but pasture, hemp, and even vegetables can be supplemented. If the wasteland is cleared in time, winter wheat can also be kept. Jinyang was besieged for a year, and the people were very scarce of food. It was really in urgent need of recuperation.

But these are not the things that Linghu Kuang and other generals are concerned about. He excitedly said: "It's time to consolidate and consolidate the surrounding counties. The chaos in Xinxing County is not short, and there is Baibu Xianbei behind it. If it can't be resolved as soon as possible, I'm afraid Jinyang will suffer from the enemy..."

While discussing his future plans, a soldier walked quickly into the county office and said something to Yi Yanfu's ears. In those gray-blue eyes, there seemed to be a sudden radiance, and Yi extended his body.

"Lieutenant Yi?" Linghu Kuang was stunned, what's going on? What happened?

"The lord is returning from Luoyang, I'm going to greet him." Yi Yan's tone was not at all discussing, but simply telling.

Linghu Kuang blinked his eyes: "Uh, since the mansion is back, I too..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet, only felt a chill on his back. Yi Yan's eyes looked over like gray wolves, and said coldly: "General Linghu should stay in Qixian. It's better to take care of the overall situation."

"..." What else can Linghu Kuang say? I had to watch the man walk away quickly. Is this afraid of taking credit for him? Scratching his chin in confusion, Linghu was no longer tangled up, and he immersed himself in military affairs.

From Luoyang back to Bingzhou, we still walked together with Taihangxing. However, unlike when it came, the speed of the return journey was a bit faster. This kind of heart-to-heart mood is not only shared by Liang Feng, but also the same as the others!

After all, the Xing Road was not easy to walk, but it never stopped. The convoy drove through the narrow mountain road and entered Taihang Pass, the gateway to Bingzhou. As long as you pass this level, you will be Bingzhou. However, no one thought that someone would wait in Taihang Pass.

"It will be late in the future, please ask the lord to atone for your sins." Wearing a full body armor, Yi Yan still knelt on one knee, like a petition and a guardian. What he said was no longer a "subordinate", but like everyone else, it was renamed "the last general".

Looking at the figure that was still tall and tall, Liang Feng only felt a tremor in his body, as if his whole body was not right. Squeezing his thigh with his hand, he took a deep breath before asking, "Has Jinyang's affairs finished?"
