Chapter 320 Chang’an Falls
"Okay, then, since General Dugu is gone, let's all obey your command." Xie Ling Rong Jing winked at Yuan Junshi, who immediately understood.
"Well, rectify your troops immediately and follow me to kill Ben Yongfengcang to avenge General Dugu." Qin Hu said.
Yuan Junshi's reconciliation made Rong Jing dare not speak at all and could only obey Qin Hu's arrangements. Qin Hu asked them to keep the secret and not to reveal the death of Dugu Huai'en.
Then Yuan Junshi, in the name of Dugu Huaien, ordered the three armies to reorganize their troops and move their camps to Yongfengcang.
After Li Jiancheng left Yongfengcang, the defense here was directly handed over to Dugu Huaien. However, Li Jiancheng could not completely trust Dugu Huaien, so he sent his cronies Wen Dayou and Bai Yupo as deputy generals, which actually allowed them to monitor each other.
Because this place is so important.
The Yongfengcang garrison has a total of 18,000 people, but Dugu Huaien took away 5,000, so Wen Dayou and Bai Yupo still have 13,000 under their command.
Qin Hu annexed Dugu Huai'en and Wang Changxie's tribes without bloodshed. Together with Pu Ban's troops, the total strength now reaches about 25,000.
He left three thousand men with Fei Qingnu to guard Tongguan, and all the others followed him westward to seize Yongfengcang.
Qin Hu raised the banner of Dugu Huaien along the way, asking Yuan Junshi and Ling Rongjing to open the way. Of course, these two people are now polished commanders. Under his close supervision, they dare not have any trouble.
Abnormal movement.
Tongguan was dozens of miles away from Yongfengcang, and the light cavalry arrived at dawn and dusk. The leading troops led by Qin Hu had arrived outside Yongfengcang in less than two hours.
Because Yuan Junshi reconciled and ordered Rong Jing to clear the way, the defenders opened the city gate and let them in without any effort. They also notified Wen Dayou and Bai Yupo.
Just in the early morning, Wen Dayou and Bai Yupo came to visit Dugu Huaien.
The two of them did not dare to show any slights to this young master Dugu. After all, his identity was there. No matter who was the emperor, Yang Shou or Li Yuan, he was the emperor's cousin.
Yuan Junshi reconciled and ordered Rong Jing to come forward to receive Wen Dayou and Bai Yupo and let them into the house. Yuan Junshi said with a smile: "The two generals got up so early. General Dugu just came back and was a little tired, so he lay down
Let’s take a rest and I’ll wake him up right away.”
Wen Dayou hurriedly smiled and said: "No need to worry, no need to worry, we don't have any urgent military affairs, we just came to see General Dugu, otherwise we should leave now."
Bai Yupo also said: "Yes, there is no urgent military affairs now. Chang'an City is about to be captured. The world is already in our pocket. It's no big deal."
"Oh, the general also wants to see you, please wait a moment."
After Yuan Junshi returned, Qin Hu immediately led hundreds of armored troops to surround the living room and shouted sternly: "Wen Dayou, Bai Yupo has rebelled and assassinated General Dugu Huai'en, kill him immediately!"
Wen Dayou and Bai Yupo didn't know Qin Hu, let alone what he meant. They saw a group of armored soldiers rushing in with murderous intent. Before they could react, they were chopped into pieces with a flurry of knives.
Yuan Junshi reconciled and ordered Rong Jing to obtain the tokens from the two men. Qin Hu led an army to surround the Yongfengcang camp, then took out the heads of the two men and announced that they had rebelled, poisoned Dugu Huaien, and had been executed.
"Anyone who dares to follow Wen Dayou in rebellion will be shot to death. Those who repent will not be held accountable."
Because the group was leaderless, and the soldiers who had been transformed from the civilian army to the Li clan had low loyalty and no sense of belonging, they all surrendered immediately.
At noon, Qin Hu summoned the entire army, about 45,000 people lined up to assemble.
"Brothers, General Dugu Huai'en has been killed by Li Yuan! I am Qin Hu, General Zuo Xiaoguo, hereditary Duke of Yan. Your Majesty has sent my troops to counterattack Chang'an. My army of 200,000 has been
Entering Puban, Li Yuan's end has come, do you still want to follow him?"
Qin Hu!
This name is so powerful in China. It can be said that everyone in the army and the rebels knows about it. He conquered Liaodong, slayed the dragon in Yanmen, provided relief to the victims, and sent out letters to defeat the enemy. All of them shocked the world.
In particular, many of these refugees were victims of the disaster from Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places. Many of them had directly received relief from Qin Hu, and there was a sudden silence below.
"The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. As a relative of the emperor, the traitor Li Yuan has no intention of serving the country and openly rebels. Such villains must not be trusted. I will not force you. Those who trust me, Qin Hu, will come with me to attack Li Yuan. If
If you are a traitor in your heart, then just leave on your own. I have finished my words."
Qin Hu could have found any reason to trick these people into attacking Li Yuan, such as saying that Duke Tang was in danger and we had to rescue him or something.
The soldiers didn't know anything, so they beat whoever they were told to beat.
But Qin Hu did not do this, because he knew that the name was not justified, and the Li family was already established. Without a formal banner and defeating him morally and imposingly, it would be impossible to lead the overall situation.
Now he has raised a banner in Yongfengcang in order to change the direction of the world, so that all the forces waiting and watching will be alienated from Li Yuan, dividing the power of the Li family, leaving him isolated and helpless, and even the whole world will attack him.
Distressing situation.
At the very least, this way, his strength will not be further enhanced.
"Willing to follow the general!"
After Yao Junsu shouted this voice, many soldiers also shouted together, and finally the shouts formed a vast ocean in the air and lingered for a long time.
"The soldiers have been assembled. Should we rush to Chang'an immediately?" After the meeting, Yao Junsu asked Qin Hu excitedly. Things went smoothly, and Yao Junsu really didn't expect it.
"Don't worry, this place is not stable yet, I still need to arrange some arrangements."
But before Qin Hu could finish what he said, Xi Wuben suddenly rushed in from the outside in a panic. Because of his excitement, he tripped over the threshold and fell heavily to the ground.
"Boss Xi, what's going on? Are you too happy?" Yao Junsu said with a smile.
Xi Wuben was not so relaxed and happy. His face was pale and his lips were trembling. He looked at the two people present absentmindedly and said: "Chang'an has been lost! Chang'an has been lost!"
"How could it be possible, how could it be so fast, no, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Qin Hu, who had just seen a little hope, hurriedly took the battle report from Xi Wuben's hand, opened it, and suddenly it was like five thunders struck him: "The underworld
The master is dead, Gu Yi committed suicide and martyred his country. Early this morning, Li Clan successfully broke through the city, and now the army has entered the city!"
"What, what, what should we do?" Yao Junsu, who was so loyal, almost fainted.
Chapter completed!
