On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Youzhen's army broke through Chang'an City.

Once the city is broken, there will be no suspense.

On the Vermilion Bird Avenue, a cavalry decisive battle between Xu Fu and Zhu Youyu was the last huge duel in Chang'an City, and the final result was not unexpected, the old and strong Xu Fu led his troops to break Zhu Youyu, and Zhu Youyu only led more than 100 horsemen to flee in embarrassment.

Wherever Xu Fu's banner went, the forbidden troops in the city surrendered one after another, and after simple integration, these forbidden troops who were still defending the city just now returned to Xu Fu's command.

Dai Chao was trapped in Dongcheng, was attacked from several sides, and was finally killed by Xu Chong under the Xuanping Gate.

Dai Chao's son Dai En saw that the general trend had gone, and led a remnant of soldiers and horses to seize the gate from Xicheng. After joining up with the remnants of Zhu Youyu, he fled all the way west.

Xu Fu, Xu Chong led the department to chase after him.

The Chinese New Year's Eve was a good day for the family to reunite, but Zhu Youyudaien's remnants were chased by Xu Fu and his son in the Meridian Road Quenshui River Valley, and Zhu Youyu asked Sheng Zhonghuai to take about 3,000 men and horses to protect his family and continue all the way to the west, but he and Dai En fought fiercely with Xu Fu and his son in the Quenshui River Valley.

After two days of blocking, Sheng Zhong took Zhu Youyu's family deep into the Meridian Road and ran straight to Hanzhong, while Zhu Youyu and Dai En died in the Quenshui River Valley.

The head of the second emperor of the dignified Liang was cut off by Xu Fu and brought back to Chang'an, but the headless corpse was mixed with thousands of soldiers who died here.

A heavy snowfall obscured the tragic scene in the Quenching River Valley. When the army retreated, all kinds of beasts in the Qinling Mountains would clean up these dead bodies for them.

Sheng Zhonghuai did not wait for Zhu Youyu's return in Yangxian, but only waited for the news of Zhu Youyu's death brought by the remnants of the army, and after crying, he gathered about 5,000 defeated soldiers and went all the way to Hanzhong, but he went straight to Zhu Youqi, the second eldest of the Zhu family.

Zhu Youzhen completely took Chang'an, and in his opinion, he pacified the civil strife at the lowest cost.

But in fact, just as he launched his final attack on Chang'an, Cao Bin was already in a desperate situation in Gunzhou.

Dai Yue fled all the way, but it was a half-truth.

It really lies in the fact that in the process of Dai Chao's escape, in addition to his own personal soldiers, the other subordinates really broke up, some of them fled, and more people were contained by Cao Bin and became pawns.

If Dai Yue knew in his heart and always restrained his own soldiers, and seeing that Cao Bin finally won the plan and went deep into the Gunhai, a gentleman took revenge, and the feeling of ten days was spontaneous.

You Yong's Zuo Xiaowei had secretly infiltrated the Gunhai in advance, and when Cao Bin arrived at the city of Gunzhou, he outflanked him from the left and right, completely blocking Cao Bin in the territory of Gunzhou.

When the news came, Cao Bin's entire army immediately panicked. Originally, those Gon navy who had surrendered to Cao Bin immediately fled again, and Cao Bin couldn't take care of them at all at this time.

The back road was cut off and he was under siege, Cao Bin at this time finally woke up to the fact that everything was just a game. Dai Yue surrendered to the Tang people early, and as a qualified bait, he actually crashed into this net without realizing it.

Quick! This is Cao Bin's only way out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the troops are still sufficient, the grain and grass can still support it for a period of time, kill a bloody way and kill back.

It's a pity that his opponent, You Yong, a veteran of the battlefield who is also old in battles, didn't give Cao Bin a chance to fight at all. You Yong laid down an iron bucket array in Surabaya Town, Xinglong Town, and Huangtun Formation, waiting for work, firmly choking Cao Bin's way, attacking several times, all of which suffered heavy losses, and could not advance at all.

As time passed, Cao Bin was on the verge of despair.

In the city of Gunzhou, You Yong is idle.

He is too lazy to come to the battlefield in person, he is old, such a cold and snowy place is really a kind of torture for him, the wanton when he was young, and when he is old, the pain has begun to torment him.

There was a large brazier in front of him, the fire was blazing, and two warm water bags were wrapped around his knees. At this time of year, both knees always make him miserable. Only by staying warm at all times can he feel a little comfortable.

That's why he always hated winter.

While drinking hot tea, I flipped through the thick military newspaper and some information sent from outside.

The matter of fighting is naturally handed over to Cheng Xu, Jose, a young and strong general, and he doesn't need to fight with a knife. When it comes to bravery, he is far inferior to these people.

With his qualifications, he doesn't need to have much credit to add glory to himself. As long as he goes on like this step by step, when Li Zegong becomes famous and ascends to the throne, he is especially brave, and the iron hat of a founding hero can be properly worn on his head.

As a courtier loyal to the Li family for two generations, You Yong was very satisfied with the status quo.

For Li Ze to finally stand on behalf of Tang, they are full of confidence. Until now, no matter what to say about that little doll sitting on a high throne, Li Ze is willing, and they will never be satisfied.

Li Ze can't go further, how can they enjoy the biggest fruits of these years of hard work!

And these people are all experienced in a hundred battles, and in such a good form, it is impossible to make any mistakes. The only thing to do is to wait until Cao Bin is still fighting and deal a fatal blow to him.

After reading the information that had just been delivered, You Yong frowned slightly, thought about it, clapped his hands and summoned a personal guard, and said, "Go and ask the acting general to come over." ”

Soon Dai Yue was invited.

"General, another batch of grain and grass has been shipped in the city, and the soldiers on the front line will never be a little behind." Dai Yue arched his hand. He thought that You Yong had called him to ask about logistics.

After Cao Bin was surrounded, You Yong did not ask Dai Yue to send troops, but let him rest on the spot, and at the same time be responsible for the logistics and supply of the entire Tang army that surrounded Cao Bin, which made Dai Yue very grateful.

"There are generations of generals who work hard, I'm not worried!" You Yong said: "I invited General Dai over today because I just received a message about Chang'an City. ”

Dai Yue's face changed slightly.

"My brother is ...... them"

You Yong shook his head slightly: "General Dai, it's a pity that Brother Ling died in Chang'an, and his son died in the Quenhe Valley, and this branch of the Dai clan in Chang'an no longer exists." Only Sheng Zhonghuai fled into Qinling with thousands of remnants of soldiers, protecting Dai Shu and Zhu Youyu's eldest son, and looking at their whereabouts, they should have gone to Shannan West Road to Zhu Youqi. ”

After receiving the information from You Yong's hand, Dai Yue hurriedly browsed it, and he was already in tears. Although he had been mentally prepared, when the exact news came, he was still in pain.

"General You, please allow me to lead my troops to help in the battle!" He stood up, clenched his fists and asked You Yong for his life.

"Yes!" You Yong nodded and said, "I understand General Dai's thoughts at the moment, and Cao Bin, if you think about it, you will break through in the next two days." Let's give him one last ride! ”

Qianzhai, the camp of the Liang army, frustration and panic are spreading everywhere. Since a day ago, there has been only one meal a day, and the amount of food that everyone gets has been restricted, and it is no secret that there is not enough food, even the lowest creeps understand this.

Except for the necessary vigilance and preparation for war, the others were confined to military tents and kept their activities to a minimum. One is to avoid unnecessary physical exertion, and the other is because of the cold.

There is no charcoal at all. Although there is a large coal mine only more than ten miles away from their station, where to get coal for heating is a game of competition with death, where the Tang army has laid traps, and many Liang troops have never returned, and no one dares to go anywhere to dig coal. Now, everything that can be burned around has long been cut down, not to mention heating, and then cooking has become a big problem.

The military tent does not block the cold breath, and the only way to keep warm is for everyone to huddle tightly together in the military tent.

If you continue like this, you will not starve to death, but you will have to freeze to death.

Breaking through is the only option.

But what they can think of, Tang Jun can naturally think of.

Compared with the Liang army, the Tang army was well-prepared and well-equipped, and the soldiers' cold-proof equipment was enough to throw off the Liang army for several streets, and they faced an army armed to the teeth.

"General, you have to break through." Jiang Qi looked at Cao Bin, whose hair and beard had been piled up on his head and face like grass, and said. Since he understood that he had fallen into the trap, Cao Bin fell into an unspeakable self-blame and became a little decadent.

"It's going to break through, otherwise, the whole army will fall here!" Cao Bin muttered.

"General, the whole army has fallen here." Jiang Qi sighed and said, "But the general must break through." Otherwise, Wuning will inevitably not be protected, and if Wuning is not protected, Huainan will be lost, and if Huainan is lost, Ezhou will not be able to defend it, and the situation in the entire south will collapse completely. Only if you break through and return to Wuning can you stabilize the situation, at least, and not let it deteriorate further. ”

Listening to Jiang Qi's words, Cao Bin was shocked.

It doesn't matter if he dies here, but if it causes the whole southern situation to collapse, then he is a sinner of Daliang. Jiang Qi is right, even if the whole army is trapped here, he will escape. Zhou Qun may not be reliable, once he can't rush back in time, and the Tang army in Yangzhou fully attacked, Zhou Qun may turn against him. And now it is Zhou Qun's son who is commanding the army in Huainan, once Zhou Qun surrenders, will his son defend Huainan to the death? I'm afraid that I will give it up.

Only by going back by yourself can you stabilize the situation, at least you can reorganize your team to resist the invasion of the Tang army, and when Chang'an is finished, the Third Highness will inevitably come to the aid in a big way.

"Gather all the generals." He stood up abruptly and snapped.
