Chang'an City.
Liu Taozi stood in Wencheng Hall and looked around.
Prince Yuwen Yun of Zhou was tied up and knelt aside, trembling.
The Empress Dowager, the Queen from the Turks and others couldn't help crying.
Hu Luxian was indescribable excitement, and was standing next to Liu Taozi at this moment, reporting important information to him.
"Yuwen Zhao was also arrested, and the soldiers in the end were gone. The nobles from all over the city were still summoning troops to fight against us, but it was not a good time."
"From last night to now, I have been arresting people, hahaha, I am the Duke of the State, so I have arrested several of him!!"
Huluxian couldn't hide that joy.
Thinking back to the beginning, his brother worked hard to achieve the achievement of killing two dukes in a row, becoming the most powerful among the generals in China.
But now, there are many dukes in this city, let alone dukes, all the princes and kings are all taking over!!
The prince, the queen and the queen were arrested!
What a credit this is?
Liu Taozi looked at the trembling little kid, "I understand, I'll kill you, take the rest back, you'll be responsible."
"only!!"
Huluxian hurriedly walked out.
Only then did Liu Taozi slowly walk in front of the young and old.
Looking at the people in front of him, Liu Taozi said slowly: "I have never attacked women and children, and I hope that you will not force me to do this. I intend to invite some of you and my subordinates to return to Yecheng for a temporary residence, but I don't know what to do.
From?"
When everyone heard this, they cried louder.
The queen stood up at this moment and saluted Liu Taozi, "King, I heard that those who have accomplished great things will not humiliate their enemy's small family. If the king can treat us well and prevent us from being humiliated, we will be willing to obey.
.”
Liu Taozi nodded, "I will never be humiliated."
He looked at the soldiers beside him again, and the soldiers escorted the men out of the palace.
A moment later, Shi Wansui rushed in again.
"His Majesty!!"
"They haven't had time to burn down many documentary secrets!"
"Get us!"
"It's a pity that the old men in Taichung are unwilling to surrender, and they still curse before they die."
There are too many senior officials and senior nobles in the city, so many that they can’t be arrested for a day and a night.
However, what makes Shi Wansui and others a headache is that capturing alive is not easy.
All of the old men in Zhou State were very brave. Even those over 60 or 70 years old, they drew their swords to fight with the Han soldiers who broke in, and were unwilling to surrender.
Therefore, not many senior officials were captured alive, and even a few of them were too late to commit suicide.
However, they arrested a lot of middle and lower-level officials.
Liu Taozi asked, "Where are the enemy's reinforcements? Is there any news outside the city?"
"No, I'm afraid that your Majesty hasn't reacted yet. I don't think there is any need to attack Nanyang anymore. The current income is enough to destroy Zhou State. As long as they are brought back, this battle will be worth it!"
This is not what Shi Wansui thought alone, and the generals in the army all thought so.
Liu Taozi frowned slightly.
Chang'an victory.
The generals each made a lot of military achievements and gained a lot.
In this case, most people feel that they should be content. When they take these things back, the rewards they receive will be enough. Let’s talk about the future.
Shi Wansui may not have even realized this, but his words have already expressed this meaning.
Liu Taozi just nodded, "Okay, you can continue."
After sending Shi Wansui, Liu Taozi quickly walked out of the palace.
The soldiers under his command were all busy.
Chang'an City is a huge treasure house. They can dig many days and find many good things.
Liu Taozi walked to the palace gate step by step, and the city was still in a mess, with constant crying and howling in the distance.
Liu Taozi had military orders, and the army entering the city could not slaughter the people.
Of course, they don’t have to slaughter the people. There are so many noble people in Chang'an City, and there are more than one warehouse. What are the robberies of the people?
At such times, people basically dare not go out.
Liu Taozi thought about the next countermeasures.
At the same time, Gao Changgong brought people to an ordinary house.
Gao Changgong looked at the captive who was disheveled and extremely embarrassed, and pointed at the front without saying a word.
The captive nodded timidly.
Gao Changgong laughed and signaled to the soldiers beside him.
A few soldiers came here with Chongmu. They carried the wood and suddenly rushed into the gate again.
"Bang!!!"
The courtyard gate could not withstand this. With a scream, the wooden door was broken, and the two people behind the wooden door were also knocked to the ground. The soldiers quickly stepped forward and subdued the two.
Gao Changgong stared at them and the soldiers rushed in. Gao Changgong called the man over and asked, "Are they both?"
"Yes, these two are the sons of Duke Yun."
Hearing the sound, Mr. Wei raised his head, looked at the man, and immediately cursed, "Dog thief! How dare you sell your marriage?!"
The captured man is the brother-in-law of Wei Xiaokuan's nephew Wei Shikang, and he has family affection with the Wei family.
After the man was insulted, he did not dare to look up at them.
Gao Changgong was basically sure, his face was full of smiles, and he rushed towards the mansion with the elite. Mr. Wei struggled to resist, but he was powerless.
When they rushed in, the soldiers had already surrounded the gathered Wei family men.
Gao Changgong's eyes were hot, and he shuttled back and forth between the crowd, and quickly locked in his enemies.
Wei Xiaokuan.
Wei Xiaokuan looked at the young man who was entering the game. He had seen Liu Taozi. The person in front of him was obviously not Liu Taozi. He probably knew the other party's identity in his heart.
"Is it the Gao family's royal family?"
"Liu Taozi destroyed Qi State, why are the royal family of Qi State willing to serve him?"
"How to meet our ancestors after death"
Hearing Wei Xiaokuan's words, Gao Changgong laughed, "I heard about the name of Duke Yun for a long time. I met today, and I deserve my name. I just met, so I wanted to start a plan of alienation?"
"It's not just a discord, it's true."
Gao Changgong walked over quickly, his face extremely excited, "General Wei, I really saw you. Do you know how much we former clan members want to see you, catch you, and kill you."
"You killed a lot of us in Yubi at the beginning."
Wei Xiaokuan is no longer afraid at this moment.
He just shook his head, "I didn't kill too many, I only killed some of the blind people."
Several soldiers around him raised their spears and were about to stab Wei Xiaokuan to death.
Gao Changgong hurriedly stopped him.
"How can General Wei die here?"
"No matter how bad it is, I have to take him to the Jade Bi sacrifice."
"Take it!!"
The soldiers rushed over and captured the Wei family. Wei Xiaokuan was powerless to resist and allowed them to catch him.
Gao Changgong ignored the others and took Wei Xiaokuan with him, threw him into the car, and quickly left the place.
Liu Taozi was still at the gate of the palace and sent people to inspect various places to prevent soldiers from killing them indiscriminately. He saw Gao Changgong coming hurriedly.
"His Majesty!!"
"This man has been captured for Your Majesty!"
Gao Changgong hurriedly sent Wei Xiaokuan out and betted all the way to Liu Taozi.
Only then did Liu Taozi look at Wei Xiaokuan.
The two looked at each other, and Wei Xiaokuan spoke first, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and your rude is still strong."
"Young man is old."
"I remember when the jade bi met, my husband was quite strong, but today he is gray-haired and has been in the past few years. I am so grateful for the many cares about Mr. Wei."
Wei Xiaokuan laughed when he heard this.
"After meeting that time, I always kept you in my heart and dared not forget it."
Wei Xiaokuan suddenly became calm. All the displeasure, all the dissatisfaction, and even the pressure over the years seemed to have dissipated.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's OK if you die."
“Well.”
Wei Xiaokuan seemed to have returned to Yubi City many years ago, with a high spirit.
"Since he was captured by the king, he would let the king deal with it. He only hoped that the king would slightly forgive his children in his family and not kill them."
Gao Changgong asked at this moment:
"Oh? Are you still worried about your clan being implicated?"
"It's just a request, whether it's up to you or not, it's all up to the king."
Gao Changgong walked up and looked at Liu Taozi.
"Your Majesty, Wei Xiaokuan is extremely talented, but he cannot use it with his king and cannot perform it. I hope Your Majesty will forgive his crimes and let him serve the Han Dynasty."
"Um?"
Liu Taozi and Wei Xiaokuan both showed shock at this moment.
Wei Xiaokuan looked at Gao Changgong in disbelief. He thought that Liu Taozi might surrender him, but if he thought about it carefully, he had a deep blood hatred with the people of Qi. Liu Taozi's basic foundation was the Qi people, so how could he forgive him?
But he never expected that before Liu Taozi could speak, the royal family of Qi came to ask for forgiveness for him.
Wei Xiaokuan couldn't understand it any more.
Liu Taozi was the same, "I remember before Chang Gong broke through the city, he vowed to capture Wei Xiaokuan and kill him for sacrifice, but why did he plead for him?"
Gao Changgong said seriously: "Your Majesty wants to pacify the world, he needs talents like Wei Xiaokuan. How can I delay the world's major affairs because of my personal grudge?"
He looked at Wei Xiaokuan again and continued, "Previously, you asked me, as a clan of Qi State, but he served in the Han Dynasty, how can we meet our ancestors?"
"I will tell you now that the world has been in war for hundreds of years, and the people have suffered. My Gao family has no destiny. But the new lord has the ambitions of the world and performs the way of benevolence and righteousness. I want to follow him, pacify the world, and leave a name in history.
For the great righteousness.”
"The righteousness lies with me, why are you afraid of meeting our ancestors?!"
"It's because of him, Gao Zhan, Gao Wei and others, that they dare not meet their father and grandfather!"
Gao Changgong's voice was strong and powerful. He looked at Wei Xiaokuan sincerely, "General Wei, as a former clan of Qi, I can still follow Your Majesty, make achievements and pacify the world together, why are you afraid?"
"What are private hatred and personal honor and disgrace in the world?"
"When I was in the east, I often heard about the general's name of benevolence and righteousness. I heard that the general loved the people, governed the army strictly, and did not violate the law under his command, and treated people with kindness."
"Why don't the general follow our master and achieve great achievements!"
"My lord is not comparable to those of Yuwen Yong. If the general is willing to follow, he will definitely not be suspicious. In the Han Dynasty, the royal family of the previous dynasty went in and out of Santai, or was a general in the place, and there were princes in the south who were in charge of the navy.
The earth is the priest, why don’t the general abandon the darkness and turn the light?!"
Gao Changgong spoke very fast, and Wei Xiaokuan could not find the opportunity to interrupt.
Only when Gao Changgong finished speaking did he bow to Wei Xiaokuan and wait for his answer.
Liu Taozi also said slowly at this moment: "If General Wei is willing to follow me, I will definitely use it and will never be suspicious."
Wei Xiaokuan's heart was in a kind of struggle. He gritted his teeth, fell into deep thought and hesitated.
Suddenly, he spoke, "I know the king's intention. The king does not value me, but the man who is in various places. He wants to obtain secrets through these people. How can I use these people to deal with the Zhou people?"
"No!"
Liu Taozi immediately refuted.
He said loudly: "The restaurants under the general's command are small paths."
"I govern the country with kindness and follow the right path. After the Han Dynasty is self-reliant and the people are prosperous, isn't the general's restaurant useless?"
"What I value is the ability of a general. If the general does not want to be an enemy of the Zhou people, he can go north. The Turks are eyeing him, and the Lord of Zhou colluded with him to lead the wolf into the house. If the general is in the north, he will expand his territory and gain people with magnanimity.
, if you use the city to defend against the enemy, will you not build a great achievement?!"
"How can we waste our time here?"
Wei Xiaokuan trembled, and he could see his current shaking in his eyes.
Liu Taozi didn't urge him, "The general doesn't have to rush to answer, and follow us back to the east first. We will wait for the general's answer."
The soldiers then invited Wei Xiaokuan away.
After he left, Liu Taozi looked at Gao Changgong, "No wonder he couldn't find Changgong just now. It turned out that he was going to capture Wei Xiaokuan."
Gao Changgong looked at Wei Xiaokuan who was leaving with complicated eyes.
"Your Majesty, these powerful generals and ministers in Chang'an are all loyal to the Zhou Dynasty. If you can capture them, you may be afraid it will be difficult for them to surrender."
"But Wei Xiaokuan is different."
"Yuwen Hu doesn't trust him. Yuwen Yong seems to be more important, but he is actually guarding against Wei Xiaokuan. He never obeys Wei Xiaokuan's proposal. When I heard His Majesty talk about the Battle of Nanyang, I knew in my heart that Wei Xiaokuan had become a clever person with Zhou Shi, and he was unwilling to accept it.
In this way, it can be won over."
"If you can get his help, then why worry about the world being uncertain?"
"This person has led his troops to fight for a little, but he is the best in the world in both strategy and governance."
Liu Taozi agreed deeply.
He looked around again, "I originally wanted to take Chang'an and lead troops to attack Yuwen Yong and capture him alive."
"But I see the generals, and I feel that it's time to go back to celebrate the military achievements. If I force myself out to fight, I'm afraid I will be taken advantage of by the thieves."
Gao Changgong said seriously: "This time Your Majesty defeated Chang'an, Yuwen Yong's army either collapsed and fled in scattered areas, or was like a burning boat and fighting to the death."
"Yuwen Yong has many generals and commanders around him. I think it should be the latter. We have won a lot of great success. Since ancient times, many arrogant soldiers have been defeated. I also think we can take these people to evacuate."
"The Zhou Kingdom was not completely destroyed by one or two battles. This time, the capture of Chang'an was like the head of the Zhou chamber and the headless corpse, how long can it last?"
"Your Majesty can lead the troops back, take the prisoners of war back to Xiazhou, and then slowly draw them."
Liu Taozi agreed.
Nanyang.
Yuwen Yong had already woken up, but after waking up, he was particularly weak and could not speak, so he could only show it with his hands.
Under this circumstance, Yuwen Xian became the commander-in-chief of the army.
Yuwen Xian informed the generals of the news, and then decided to return quickly to defeat the enemy in Chang'an.
Sure enough, when they learned that Chang'an was attacked, the generals were extremely panicked and in chaos.
Yuwen Xian motivated them, "The moment the enemy is breaking through Chang'an, if we cannot go back earlier, our family will be slaughtered. The sooner we go back and repel them, the better it will be for the family."
So, the generals asked for a fight.
Yuwen Xian took He Ruobi as the vanguard and led the army back.
Yuwen Yong was also arranged by him in the army and returned together, so he did not dare to leave the emperor too far.
The strangeness in the Zhou army quickly attracted Huang Fayun's attention.
After sending people to inquire many times, he finally heard about Liu Taozi's attack on Chang'an.
Huang Faqiu was stunned.
This king can always give him a huge surprise when he least expected it.
If Chang'an is taken, Huang Faqiu would not dare to think about what Zhou Guohui would look like!!
Then why are you hesitating?!
Huang Faqi immediately organized the remnants and quickly launched a counterattack.
The left-behind Zhou people did not have any morale. Huang Faxian could find out about things like the attack in Chang'an, let alone these soldiers?
When facing Huang Faqian's fierce attack, they quickly defeated.
Huang Faqiu's subordinates were more motivated because they learned that the Heavenly King had attacked Chang'an.
The situation changed suddenly, and Huang Faqiong began to kill all directions here and made rapid progress.
Just when Chunyu Liang and others had just returned to Jiankang and told the emperor and his ministers about the difficulties of the war. They had just been pardoned, the front-line war report came.
Huang Faqiu advanced to Anzhou again and defeated many enemies.
Now the generals of Chen State were speechless.
What do you mean?
When we were there, we were beaten, and we left and started hitting people, right?
But they learned that Huang Faqi sent troops because Liu Taozi captured Chang'an, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, some ministers couldn't sit still.
"Your Majesty! You can't let General Huang continue to send troops! You should let him withdraw! Let him withdraw!"
"When the Heavenly King captured the Zhou Kingdom, the Zhou Kingdom was in danger. If General Huang attacked from the south again and caused the Zhou Kingdom to be destroyed and the Heavenly King was the Heavenly King, then the Heavenly King had the new Zhou territory. Wouldn't the next one come to plot against us?
