Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 460 Meet Chang'an!

Surrender without a fight!

This was a huge blow to the imperial court.

That is Hulao Pass, the most critical pass in the important town of Xingyang, a battleground for military strategists. According to the estimation of the imperial court, as long as the city is defended, it will not be a problem to block the princes of the Guandong for a year or so!

result……

When the courtiers looked at each other, it seemed that there were countless words hidden in front of them, which was the passing of people's hearts.

Confidence is the most important thing to maintain the regime, especially in ancient dynasties, the persistence of a city can change the fate of a dynasty.

The most famous is the Ming Dynasty.

Baozong was defeated, and the generals did not open the city gate, which delayed the speed of the Wala army, and the Ming Dynasty was preserved.

Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di was in trouble, and the most critical part of taking Nanjing directly was to open the city gate wide, otherwise he would go deep alone, and the city of Nanjing would have high walls and thick walls, and the outcome would still be unknown.

In the same Chongzhen period, it may not be impossible to defend Li Zicheng's attack and wait for Wu Sangui's arrival, but the city gate was opened directly, and Ming Dynasty perished.

The most important thing is that Liu Dan no longer trusts the generals and officials on the front line, he glanced at the officials coldly, and said slowly: "The rebels in the Kanto region are menacing, and the Hexi region is also unstable.

When the Chu and Han dynasties were fighting in the past, Emperor Gao led a group of heroes to confront the overlord Xiang Yu in Xingyang, while Marquis Mu of Huaiyin swept the northern princes, and finally encircled Xiang Yu in Xiangying and ruled the world.

The Marquis of Xingyang is my brother-in-law and will never surrender, but I am worried that he will not be able to fight against the rebels in the Kanto region.

Now I want to follow the example of Emperor Gao, lead the army to confront the rebels in the Kanto region in Xingyang, and then send generals to Hexi to defeat the Allied forces of the Western Regions, so as to relieve the worries in the Guanzhong. The defense of Wuguan is the most important thing. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes when the pass is broken and the Qin Dynasty is destroyed. "

Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the pass in the east is more difficult to break through, and the pass facing the Hexi Corridor is not dangerous, so you must first defeat Hexi before you can go eastward with all your strength.

Liu Dan's military talents are worthy of the trust of the officials, and the courtiers, full of thoughts and worries, agreed to the emperor's plan.

The next day, the urgent courier from eight hundred miles arrived in Chang'an, and rushed straight to the palace. Liu Dan's eyelids twitched, feeling an ominous premonition.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xingyang took over the defense of Henan County with the seal of gold. The rebels from the Kanto region attacked Xingyang day and night. Civil strife broke out in Xingyang. The governor of Henan killed the Marquis of Xingyang, saying that the world is righteous. You must raise your troops and surrender to the Kanto region. The rebels, Xingyang has fallen, and the rebels from the Kanto region have attacked Luoyang!"

"boom!"

"Henan County..."

When the vassals of the Guandong wrote their letter for the first time, Liu Dan put his important officials in the key position from the Guandong to the Guanzhong. Unexpectedly, he betrayed him. As if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, Liu Dan fell to the ground in despair. , I can't come back to God for a long time.

……

Xingyang.

Countless troops passed through here, including infantry and cavalry. After incorporating the rebels and refugees from the Kanto Uprising, they were already regular imperial field troops in terms of quality and quantity.

Such a legion can only be recruited by the emperor's order during a large-scale expedition, because the maintenance cost is too high.

The best thing about the coalition forces of the Kwantung lords is that their goals are extremely clear. This is a battle of peace. For the rebels and refugees, this is a battle of revenge. Most people can provide food and do not need to be paid.

Luo Si and the others looked at the endless flow of soldiers, looked up and couldn't see the head, turned around but couldn't see the tail, the morale was so high, and the spirit was so pure that it was rare in the world, and they were a little moved.

The situation of the Jingnan army is so good that the princes of Jingnan are a little bit unexpected, especially the defense line of the important town of Xingyang.

Many Jingnan princes are ready to fight hard here, and some people have even proposed to open a second battlefield before, following the route of Wu Muhou of Huaiyin back then.

Or directly lead the cavalry from Liaodong to make a detour for thousands of miles, and attack Guanzhong according to the route that the Huns invaded back then, but were stopped by Yinghou Luosi and Luhou Luchan.

"People's hearts."

This is what the two said when they persuaded everyone. In the end, the important town of Xingyang really fell in ten months, which is amazing.

"The governor of Henan is so quick. Anyway, the imperial army has no intention of fighting at all. The Xingyang defense line that once prevented the commander Xiang Yu from breaking through is as fragile as a piece of paper, almost like a dream."

Luo Si and Lu Chan looked at each other, and after they smiled, they said to everyone with a smile: "My lords, does the victory or defeat of the world lie in the strong city?
Look at Hulao and Xingyang, such impenetrable cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, they surrendered directly when they could be blocked, this is the reason why a strong city cannot be relied on.

The same is true of sharp swords and tough armor.

Can you still see the demise of Tyranny?

The general trend in this world is that the hearts of the people are against each other. If the Dufu loses the hearts of the people, we gain the hearts of the people, so the victory is with us.

The princes are united, the officers and soldiers serve their lives, the people support us, the general situation of the world is under our control, and the surging river, who can stop it?
Who will stand in the way? "

Luo Si's words are both encouraging and secretly warning. For those who don't pay attention to the hearts of the world, Liu Dan's end now will be your end in the future.

"Yinghou, you are right!"

Everyone didn't know that this kind of dialogue also took place in the land of the four Hexi counties. The news of the uprising in the four Hexi counties shocked the kings of the Western Regions.

Only now did I understand what Luo Shi said when he set out on the expedition, "Half of the army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions must stay to guard against restless countries like Wusun and Dawan, and the temple army must also stay. It does not take so many to attack Hexi." As for the army, the hearts of the people are in me, so naturally someone will lead the army to vote.

I raised troops all the way from the Western Regions to the east, and in the name of Feng Tian Jing Nan, I wanted to recruit a hundred thousand troops to follow me into Guanzhong! "

……

The nobles in Chang'an have their own news channels. They may not be very clear about the specific war situation between the imperial court and the Guandong princes, but they still have a general idea of ​​which cities the Guandong princes captured. pressure.

"The unfaithful and rebellious beasts broke through the Hulao Pass!"

Some people deliberately slandered the Jing Nan Army.

"The treacherous rebels from outside the pass have entered Xingyang!"

The news changed drastically in just a few days, "I went to Luoyang to stop the rebels. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. They are not teachers of justice at all. Isn't it worth trusting how your Majesty has treated the people of Chang'an these years?"

People's hearts are like water, and it is very easy to incite. Many people in Guanzhong have already begun to believe it. If it weren't for the Luo family on the opposite side, the prestige and reputation are too high, I am afraid that at this time they would have spontaneously taken up arms and joined the army. The most important thing is the situation in Guanzhong It's not as serious as Guandong. After all, Sang Hongyang lives in Guanzhong, so he didn't dare to do that.

"The rebels in Kanto have occupied Luoyang!"

The situation can be described as changing three times a day. The strong city and dangerous pass are like paper. Now Liu Dan doesn't care about anything. The army, he wants to fight against the princes of the Kanto in person!
After the Guandong princes captured Luoyang, they were very excited and occupied this place. "After obtaining Luoyang, Nanyang is close at hand, and Hedong is at your fingertips. This is the trend of the kingdoms in the past, and Guanzhong can't stop it!"

Yes, Guanzhong cannot be stopped. This is the consensus of everyone. In the past, the failure of the countries to attack Qin was due to the lack of unity of the people. Otherwise, Qin would have been absolutely unstoppable. Now the Guandong princes are united and have already arrived in Luoyang. , manpower, material resources, and the imperial court are all gone.

"My lords, ninety-ninety people can travel hundreds of miles. Don't feel arrogant at this moment. We haven't completely won yet."

"There are three roads in front of us now. One is to enter Guanzhong from Luoyang along the Weihan Ancient Road, the other is to enter Nanyang and enter Guanzhong from Wuguan, and the other is to enter Jinzhong and then cross the river."

Each of these three roads has its own advantages and disadvantages. Hangu Pass has lost its former status as one man guarding the pass, but it is still a well-known dangerous pass in the world. It is too risky to enter Nanyang. There are no Han family clansmen in Nanyang. Know what to expect.

"Divide the troops!"

An unexpected voice sounded, and everyone looked at it one after another, with doubts on their faces, "We have too many troops, no matter which direction we go, it's a waste, and we can't give full play to our advantage of having a large number of soldiers."

Everyone's eyes brightened, yes, the Kwantung coalition now occupies [-]% of the world's population, with many soldiers and generals, even if they are divided and knocked down, they can completely rotate. Without many twists and turns, the coalition army was quickly divided into three, after a short period of time Rest, take out all the last stored food, and embark on the journey again.

The princes of the Kanto who are pursuing a quick battle have no time to organize and resume production. Now is the time to fight for their lives. The same is true in Guanzhong. Liu Dan doesn't care what will happen next year if he doesn't plant spring seedlings this year. And military service was apportioned, both sides sharpened their knives to the fastest, and wanted to stab each other to death with one blow.

The first battle to attack Hangu Pass was full of blood and blood, and it was extremely tragic. The army that entered Nanyang quickly united with some Han family clans to defeat another wave, and then joined forces to attack Wuguan. The ground was shaken, the morale of the Kwantung Allied Forces was like a rainbow, and the defenders in the Kwantung were wavering between surrender and confrontation.

"The princes of the Kanto have broken through the Hangu Pass!"

"The princes of the Guandong have broken through Wuguan and attacked Lantian!"

"The princes of the Kanto have crossed the great river!"

One after another news spread wildly in the land of Guanzhong, "The coalition forces from the Western Regions have invaded Longxi County!"

The news that kept coming in was like the straw that broke the camel's back, and Liu Dan's mentality completely collapsed.

"The Jingnan Army has arrived outside Chang'an City!"

In Changle Palace, Liu Dan angrily killed the envoy who persuaded him to surrender, and roared angrily, "I will never surrender, put armor on me, I will fight to the death with these traitors!"

----

In April of the 15th year of Yuanzheng, when the princes came to Lishan Mountain in the suburbs of Han Dynasty, they swore.

The princes of the Guandong were delighted, and said: "Wei, the people of the Western Regions! We are, the people of the East!"

Family members of the Han Dynasty, kings and princes, heroes and heroes, merchants, craftsmen, farmers, all happy. "

The princes made three drums to offer sacrifices to the Su Wang Shanghuang, and said: "The emperor today used treacherous words to cut himself off from the sky, from the earth, and from the people, destroying the Three Righteousnesses, and leaving the human way, so that the Li people lost their homes and the people suffered. The Wei Gong practiced the punishment of heaven, obeyed the ancestors, stood up and frightened the tyranny, no more, no more!"

Swear, the princes will have 50 soldiers, [-] armor soldiers, [-] horses, Chen Shili Mountain. ——"Historical Records: The Chronicle of Emperor Lie"
