(Six thousand words of big chapters are presented, please give me some praises!)

In the fourth year of Li Yan Zhonghe, the first year of Li Ye Zhenlong, September 13th.

Several days have passed since Gao Renhou suddenly turned his back and broke into Wuguan and entered Lantian, Guanzhong. This bad news finally reached Yang Fugong's ears in Hezhong Prefecture. At this time, the commander of the Tang Dynasty coalition, the commander of the 12 guards of the Ten Army, the lieutenant of the left and right Shence Army and the envoy of the Privy Council, and the envoy of the Xuanhui Court, the face was gone without anyone's expression, his lips were trembling constantly, and his eyes were almost glaring. He could not believe it, nor could he believe the evil news he had just sent.

"Lantian, what's wrong with Lantian?"

Lantian is less than 80 miles away from Chang'an, and it is already the last gateway in the southeast of Chang'an. Once Lantian loses, Gao Renhou will be able to march directly into Bashang and his troops will be at the foot of Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty has transferred the commander of Yushan Camp, Yang Shouxin and Shen Ce, Li Shoujie, to reinforce the Lantian garrison Hu Hongli. He is currently leading his army to resist Gao Renhou. The two sides have fought fiercely for a day and night, fighting endlessly, and suffered heavy casualties. However, the generals of Lantian are few and few, and they are afraid that they will not be able to fight against the crowd. Your Majesty urgently ordered the King of Wei to return to Guanzhong immediately and serve the king and protect the emperor!"

Jia Desheng, one of the adopted sons of Yang Fugong's tent, quickly shouted: "King of Wei, we must never withdraw our troops at this time. Our coalition forces have come out of Guanzhong and are now confronting 100,000 Qin troops, just like riding on the back of a tiger. How can we retreat at this time? If we retreat in a hurry at this time, we are afraid that we will be taken advantage of by the Qin army and will die without a place to bury."

But Yang Fugong was in chaos at this time, so he could not listen to these things. He was thinking about Chang'an. If Chang'an was lost, then the emperor whom their brothers had finally enthroned would fall behind Tian Lingzi's hands. Tian Lingzi would inevitably depose Li Ye and support Li Yan to restore the throne. At that time, there was no emperor in hand. Zhuzhenjie commanded the troops. Who would still listen to his orders? In Chengdu, Tian Lingzi kidnapped Li Yan and left, so he had to escape from Xichuan because he did not have the emperor in hand. He was just a eunuch. Now the old things are about to happen again, how could he not be afraid?

"No, I must go back to Chang'an." Yang Fugong said with a pale face and trembling.

When Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong, heard this, his face turned gray in an instant. Hezhong Town was only one place in Hezhong Prefecture and counties. If Yang Fugong retreated, the troops in the town would inevitably retreat immediately. He was the only one left. How should he face the 100,000 elite Qin troops on the other side of the Fen River? When Wang Chongrong thought that he would soon become a dog that was stranded, he felt panic and uneasy.

"King Wei, it must not be, it must not be. If the King of Wei withdraws his troops, it will be difficult for the Hezhong to defend. At that time, the Qin army will go south to attack Shaanxi and Guo, and the west to enter Guanzhong. The court will be in danger!"

But no matter how he begged, Yang Fugong was like a turtle and was determined to do so. However, the other towns in Guanzhong had no intention of staying here at this time. Since leaving the customs, the situation has changed several times in a day. Seeing the Qin army attacking the cities and camps, they were powerless. Especially after Yang Fuguang was captured, there was no commander in the coalition with enough prestige. Yang Fugong led the army, but he lost several originally good fighter opportunities in vain. Day by day, he has been delayed to this day, and the situation has become increasingly corrupt. Now Tian Lingzi has intensified internal strife to Guanzhong, and Li Jing's two troops have also advanced westward, so who can still sit there?

The governor of Baoda Jiedu, Dongfang Kui, did not go to Hezhong this time. He pretended to be sick and did not go to fight. He only sent his son to bring 10,000 old and weak. At this time, he had already received an urgent letter from his father, telling him that Li Jing's three Taibao elite troops suddenly came to the west, with a rapid offensive, had swept across Danzhou, and was attacking Yanzhou, and was urgently summoning him to return to Baoda. Dongfang Kui not only asked his son to rush back in the letter, but also ordered him to conquer the 30,000 soldiers of Zhenwu and Tiande, and also persuaded the commanders to take them back together.

"King of Wei, this place cannot be left for a long time. Guanzhong is the foundation of us. If there is any loss in Guanzhong, it will be the real disaster. If we protect the Great Da, we will be in a difficult situation, Zhenwu, and Tiande, all the soldiers and generals in the four towns of Tiande think that they should retreat quickly. If they delay further, they will be afraid that Chang'an will be in danger. Now Li Jing has already gained a firm foothold in Luoyang, and Hedong has lost all the important places. We will continue to sit in this lonely place, afraid that when the Qin army arrives one after another, we will not be able to leave even if we want to."

"You can't retreat. The Qin army has reinforcements, and we also have reinforcements. The commander of Shannanjie Liu Jurong just defeated the Qin army's Qin Zongquan army in Xiangyang and will soon go north to Luoyang. At that time, the Qin army will definitely score troops to defend..."

"Ship Wang, come on, even if Liu Jurong defeated Qin Zongquan, they might not necessarily go north. Even if they go north, there are 50,000 elite Qin vassals led by Li Jing personally in Luoyang, and Xu Su also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers led by Zhao Lu. Even if the entire army goes north, it is impossible for Liu Jurong to break through Li Jing's defense, let alone reinforce us." Dongfang Xin quickly retorted.

"Stop quarrel!" Yang Fugong suddenly became furious and shouted impatiently with a sharp voice. "I have decided, I can't stay in the river for a long time. Tomorrow morning, I will immediately lead the Shen Ce army to Chang'an for rescue first. As for other towns..."

Before he could finish his words, Dongfang Xin immediately followed and said, "I will immediately return to the vassal state early tomorrow morning."

The generals of other vassal states also said that they would withdraw their troops. In this way, the scene that Wang Chongrong was reluctant to see happened in the end. No vassal state was willing to help him defend Hezhong, let alone counterattack and regain the other prefectures and counties in Hezhong.

In the early morning of September 14, the 36th capital Shence Army led by Yang Fugong took the lead in leaving Hezhong Prefecture. They withdrew from the camp and retreated slowly. Instead of retreating from Fengling Pass, they retreated directly to the Pujin Bridge to the west, preparing to cross the river directly back to Tongzhou, Guanzhong and Chang'an. Following them were the four towns of Baoda, Dingnan, Zhenwu, and Tiande. The number of mobs with a population of 40,000 was the most active when retreating. In addition, the towns of Tonghua Jiedu Town, the Jingnan Army of Bining Jiedu, the Zhangyi Army of Jingyuan Jiedu, the Baoyi Army of Shaanxi Guo Jiedu, the Baoyi Army of Fengxiang Wei** and other towns planned to go south to Fengling Pass and return to Guanzhong from Tongguan.

At the beginning, the coalition forces were divided into two major parts to withdraw, which was quite orderly. However, this order was broken before it lasted for a long time.

At noon that day, several messengers rushed over and sent even greater bad news to the towns.

After several days of fighting, Li Shoujie, Li Shouxin and others in Lantian were still outnumbered. Lantian was defeated by Gao Renhou, the army of Dongchuan Jie, the commander of Gao Renhou. The Lantian guards were almost out of reach. Only a few troops broke through the siege and fled back to Chang'an. Gao Renhou took advantage of the victory and advanced, and had already stationed troops in Bashang and surrounded Chang'an.

After hearing this news, Yang Fugong was shocked and hurriedly ordered the Shence Army to speed up the time to cross the bridge, and even ordered the abandonment of most of the supplies, just to cross the river and enter the pass earlier. But in this way, a large amount of supplies began to be abandoned on the road, which instead caused congestion among the subsequent troops.

At a later time, Dongfang Xin also received an urgent report from Baoda Fuzhou. After Li Jing's three Taibaos received subsequent reinforcements, their crossings reached 20,000 elite troops. They used Danzhou as their base and had seized most of Yanzhou, which was seriously threatening Linzhou. Although Dongfang Xin and their 40,000 soldiers were all old and weak, Dongfang Kui was now panicked. Even if it was only 40,000, they could support the situation if they could rush there. Therefore, he urgently ordered Dongfang Xin to rush back to reinforce immediately.

There is only one river bridge in Puyang. Although the bridge was built very large, it would not take a short time to pass the tens of thousands of troops and many grains and grass, etc. The army had to pass through. Several armies wanted to cross the river first, but finally started fighting for the quarrel. The scale of the fight became larger and larger, and the order on the shore became more and more chaotic, which eventually caused a large blockage and the speed of crossing the river was greatly reduced.

Half of the coalition forces blocked Puyang by the Yellow River, while Li Quanzhong and several other towns had already reached Fenglingdu on the bank of the Yellow River in the south.

The detective reported the news back to Jiangzhou's general Lin Wei. Upon hearing this news, Lin Wei stared at the sand table for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"If you send the order, the whole army will rest immediately, have lunch at dark, and cross the Fen River at night!"

Yang Fugong's coalition had no unified command at all. When he left the customs, he barely maintained his airs. When he retreated, he immediately dispersed and was in chaos. They did not even arrange the troops behind the palace. The troops of Hulala in each town were evacuated, and there were no one to defend the positions on the south bank of the Fen River. The remaining soldiers and horses of Hezhong Town remained behind, but the front was already like a sieve, with holes everywhere. At this time, the coalition troops retreated for two days and one night, and some had already gone south to Fengling Pass more than 200 miles away. The other was still in Pushang, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians stretching over a long line of nearly 300 miles and scattered into three major parts. How could Lin Wei miss such a good attack opportunity?

If the commander of the coalition forces at this time were Yang Fuguang, even Li Quanzhong or Li Changyan and other vassal states, they would not have made such a mistake. Unfortunately, Yang Fugong did not know the military at all, and the various vassal states were eager to withdraw, which led to the already loose coalition forces making such a fatal mistake when retreating.

On the south bank of the Fen River, night fell. Yuan Bao and Zhang Lun, the guards in the Baibi River, finished their day on duty and gathered in the tent to eat meat and drink. While drinking, they cursed Yang Fugong's evacuation, sighing that it was difficult to hold on to the river. Everyone was about to end and their future was bleak. Halfway through the wine, there were gongs and drums, and the two were shocked and knew that this was an enemy attack.

The two of them dropped their wine glasses, took their helmets and walked out of the tent quickly. Looking up, they saw that several floating bridges had been quickly set up on the shiny Fen River on both sides, and on both sides, there were more Qin army engineers and soldiers rushing to build more floating bridges. The Qin army engineers were very professional, and their floating bridges had been made long ago. At this time, they were carried to the riverside and quickly connected and built, and one could be built in a blink of an eye.

On the floating bridge that had been built by the Fen River, several Qin troops were riding high-headed war horses and quickly climbing over the waves. However, the defenders of the rivers on the south bank in front of them did not dare to fight forward at all. Instead, they turned around and ran to the south like a rush, hating their parents for having less legs.

Yuan Bao couldn't help but spat in a low voice and cursed: "I flee when I heard the wind. What kind of timid is this fucking timid!"

But when they looked up to the north bank, they immediately saw a fire that soared into the sky on the north bank. Countless torches gathered up, illuminating the river bank as bright as day. These torches gathered into fire dragons, sweeping towards the south bank.

The two were stunned.

"How many people are there?" Zhang Lun asked in a low voice.

Yuan Bao swallowed his saliva and replied with some difficulty: "At least it must be more than ten thousand cavalry!"

"This, this!" Both of them had fought many wars, but they used to fight wars, chaos and melee between the vassal states. They used to think it was a big battle. But at this time, it was just like a child's quarrel. Tens of thousands of cavalry attacked, and at night, although they could not see the momentum of thousands of horses galloping, countless torches gathered together. Coupled with the sound of thunderous hooves and the neighing of thousands of horses, the heart beat faster and fearful.

Feeling the shock of tens of thousands of war horses trampling on the ground, watching the fire dragons gathered by countless torches, they were already pale in fear!

After a little rest, the two of them had no calmness on their faces. They looked at each other, screamed in surprise, and turned their heads and fled in panic, joining the deserter who had just been despised by them.

The vanguard of the Qin army was led by Lin Wu. He rode his horse and stood on the high slope on the north shore, watching every move on the battlefield.

Everything in front of him surprised him and surprised him.

He followed Lin Wei's military order and took the lead in launching a night attack. He was originally planning to take advantage of the new retreat of the coalition forces and the Hezhong Army had not yet arrived to make up for loopholes in the defense line and attacked tentatively. If he could cross the river, it would be better. Even if he couldn't, he would have to seize the opportunity tonight. He taught the Hezhong Army a lesson and gave them heavy damage.

No one could have imagined that at this time, there were still as many as 50,000 defenders in the river on the south bank of the Fen River, but in just one round of surprise attack, they had already crossed the Fen River quickly and stepped onto the land on the south bank. Surprise, a big surprise.

Lin Wu could no longer help but be excited, drew his sword and pointed his finger, shouting: "The whole army attacks! Cross the river!"

On the battlefield, the sound of military horns sounded loudly and the charge continued. More Qin troops finally entered the battlefield one by one, striving to cross the Fen River.

On the south bank of the Fen River, a military flag embroidered with black flying eagles fluttered in the wind, making a sound in the sky.

As the military flag fluttered, a Qin army had already occupied a position on the south bank.

The Fen River has crossed, and not far south, there is a Baibi Fortress on a high slope. This fortress with mountains and rivers is a famous fortress on the south bank of the Fen River. The battle between Li Tang and Liu Wuzhou in Hedong was a decisive battle. Now, the Qin army crossed the river and was also facing the obstruction of Baibi City.

"Form a formation!"

Lin Wu shouted with a sword, facing this extremely dangerous high-slope fortress, he looked solemn, but fearless. The Hezhong Army voluntarily gave up the south bank, which was their biggest mistake. Since he had crossed the Fen River, then the Baibi Fort was no longer as solid as a decent.

He led the Qin cavalry, and the cavalry was not a good group of troops to attack cities. But this is just generally speaking, and for the Qin army, it has always been an unusual path. Who said that cavalry cannot attack cities?

He decided to adopt the advanced tactics of the Qin army.

He divided ten thousand riders into two batches, each with ten teams. Each team of five hundred riders, and he led one group and did not move. Another group of five thousand riders attacked the Baibi team one after another, but instead of climbing the city to fight, he first covered the attack with arrows and rain, and then used the flying thunder cannons dragged by horses to carry out the successive artillery.

After a while, the front team was replaced by the back team, and took turns to attack, covering the Bobi Castle with saturated shells until they were defeated.

Yuan Bao and Zhang Lun, who had finally escaped into Baibi City, stood on the top of the city and gasped in a panting in a panting. When they saw that the Qin army's cavalry was constantly crossing the river and continued to rush towards the castle, they couldn't help but be stunned and laughed. Are the Qin army stupid? Baibi Castle is so dangerous that they actually used cavalry to rush into such a military castle. They were so arrogant.

But they were just less than a moment happy.

Then he immediately discovered that the Qin army was not stupid or crazy to attack the city with cavalry. Instead, they had a brand new tactic. The bows and arrows they shot on the top of the city could not even be shot in front of the opponent's cavalry. Every time their cavalry attacked, they were outside the range of the bows and arrows on the city, while the opponent's crossbow was extremely powerful, with a range far exceeding them. Every time they shot waves of arrows onto the city, shooting a large number of defenders to the ground.

But what scared them even more was not these bows and arrows, but the steel barrels as big as the arms dragged by the cavalry.

As the torches were ignited, the iron tubes buried quickly buried on the ground were showing their might one after another, and shocking bursts sounded one after another. Then, the city began to collapse and crack, and the earth was shaking. Countless screams of screams sounded, and more defenders began to fall, many people were blown up, with broken limbs and broken arms flying around, and blood splashed...

Under the fierce attack of the Qin army, the city was filled with defenders, and in just a few rounds, they had almost suffered casualties!

September 16th.

Luoyang Shangyang Palace, Xianju Hall.

In front of the king and ministers of the Mandian Palace, Gongsun Lan informed that the General Lin Wei, the Southern Expedition, had crossed the Fen River in full and defeated King Chongrong of Hezhong. In just two days, he had already won the good news of Hezhong Prefecture. Wang Chongrong's Fen River, Baibi and Yubi defense lines did not delay the Qin army at all.

The strategic location that military strategists must fight for. The military key of Qin and Jin transportation, the intersection of Guanzhong, Hedong and Henan, Hezhong Prefecture was captured by the Qin army. Wang Chongrong led only more than 10,000 defeated troops and retreated to Shaanxi.

After this good news, the ministers paused their heads and asked, "He was born a sage and wise, and originally thought that he was the people. When His Highness ascended the throne, his destiny has returned! Now, four or five years have passed. If he does not upright the throne, how can he comfort the people in the world? In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han killed Xiang Ji and persuaded his subordinates to advance, but it was not contrary to his feelings. Now, His Highness eliminated the riots and seeks to survive the people, and his contributions are blocked in the universe, and his virtues are in harmony with the heart of heaven. The destiny of heaven is truly unconfident." In the end, they even directly claimed, "I dare to ask for death!"

I have been persuaded three times. If you don’t agree, we will show you the truth!

This time it was Prime Minister Zheng Cong-sei's turn to come out and take the lead in expressing his statement: "Your Highness's virtue of humility is attached to all directions, moved by the gods, and willing to make plans for the people and be humble to the requests of all the ministers!"

After three persuasions, Zheng Cong-yi did not have much hope. According to Li Jing's previous firm attitude, he did not seem to want to ascend the throne too early. But to everyone's surprise, Li Jing was just humble this time and actually agreed.

Li Jing and Zheng Cong-sei were persuaded to enter again, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "The Central Plains have not yet settled and the military has not yet stopped. I originally planned to wait for the world to settle and then discuss this matter. But since this is the will of God and the request of the people, and you have been asking for it again and again, I will encourage you to follow the public opinion and listen to everyone's words! However, this matter is of great importance, and we must be solemn and not hasty. We also have to ask you to consider and agree on various etiquettes."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers were stunned, and then they were extremely happy. Li Jing finally let go and everyone felt relieved.

With the approval of the King of Qin, the next thing will be natural.

Li Jing then ordered Prime Minister Zheng Cong-si and the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to choose a good day for ascending the throne.

To ascend the throne, according to etiquette, you must have a complete etiquette system and not be careless at all. Determining a day is like an ordinary person who marrys a daughter and a daughter. He must solemnly choose a good and auspicious day. After this task, Zheng Congxian felt very honored. The King of Qin finally agreed to the advice of his ministers leading him to advance, and now he asked him to choose this big day. This is really a supreme honor, and the glory that only Long Yuanzuo can have.

But before he could calm down, Li Jing said another sentence, which shocked the ministers in the palace again.

"The intention has been settled. The capital of the new dynasty was chosen in Yanjing, and Yanjing was renamed Shenjing! Officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites will return to Yanjing immediately to prepare for various matters!"

At this moment, Zheng Cong-seen was very shocked. Everyone originally proposed to establish the capital of Luoyang in the new dynasty. The King of Qin had never raised any objections to this matter. He thought that this was a matter of destiny. Who would have thought that on today's important day, the King of Qin finally agreed to the ministers' persuasion and agreed to ascend the throne. But he immediately made the decision to establish the capital of Yanjing!

Too amazing.

The most important thing is that no one has really considered that the new dynasty would build the capital of Yanjing.

Shenjing, Tianjing, Shendu?

Zheng Cong-sei wanted to object, but thought about it. It was extremely inappropriate to object at this time on such an important day. Even if he was the prime minister, the first important decision he had made in Qin Wang agreed to persuade him to advance, and he immediately refuted it on the spot, which was a bit overwhelming. However, he couldn't help but feel unwilling to let him accept the fact that the capital of the new dynasty was set in Yanjing.

His eyes inadvertently captured a subtle smile on Li Jing's face, and his heart couldn't help but move. The King of Qin suddenly accepted the persuasion today, and at this time he chose to give up the decision to settle the capital of Yanjing at this time. It was a bit difficult to see it. It seemed that he had long considered the matter of throwing the capital of Yanjing at this time, and it was difficult for all the ministers to oppose it immediately.

Zheng Congyi was shocked. Could this be really the ambush of the King of Qin? If this is true, it really means that the capital of Yanjing was the choice of the King of Qin after careful consideration. Otherwise, he would not have to go all out so much. With this in mind, most of the strong opposition to the capital of Yanjing in his heart just now would inevitably dissipate.

Well, no matter what, the King of Qin finally agreed to advance to the throne and establish a new dynasty. However, he suddenly remembered an important thing, the new dynasty was about to be established, and the capital had been decided, but the title of the new dynasty has not been announced yet! Could it be that this is to use the title of the King of Qin as the title of the King of Qin as the title of the New dynasty as the title of the King of Qin?
Chapter completed!
