In the camp of the coalition army, Cao Cao and Liu Bei sat at the top, and Qin Shi Huang sat on both sides below them.

After eight hours, they finally took the five gates of the imperial city, and at the same time, when the last Changxia was breached, all the troops withdrew from Chang'an City and returned to the camp outside the city to repair.

Cao Cao Liu Bei, who was sitting at the top of the big tent, listened to the battle injuries and deaths reported by Zhang Liao and others before, and the expressions on his face were very heavy, the so-called self-loss of 1,000 and 800 injuries of the enemy, not to mention that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were still the besieging party, and the casualty rate would only be more than that of Datang, not less.

According to rough estimates, so far, they have killed nearly 130,000 horses, and 90,000 lives have been paid for the siege today, and this number is still increasing, because reinforcements from all over the Tang Dynasty are constantly coming here.

Although Guan Yu and Xu Huang had already brought 200,000 horses and built strong camps on the main roads outside Chang'an City to block the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty, those Tang and military officers who rushed to reinforce Chang'an were like crazy, even if there were only tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers, they would attack Guan Yu and others at all costs.

This is what Liu Bei and they were far from expecting, they did not expect that before the patrol battalion 30,000 iron cavalry were all killed, most of the 80,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Hongxuan, the defender of Liangzhou, and even after he was stabbed to death by Ma Chao, these Tang and army soldiers still did not have the slightest fear and hesitation, and launched wave after wave of almost suicidal attacks.

Meng Keren's patrol battalion was ordered to be annihilated by Liu Bei on his own initiative, in order to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that the reinforcements from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty did not dare to act rashly, but that Xu Hongxuan actually turned a blind eye to the battlefield full of wreckage in front of him, he didn't even let the soldiers who were marching in a hurry to trim, and immediately led people to rush towards Guan Yu's camp, and the result was obvious.

Liu Bei didn't want to kill more, in fact, this was mainly to save the lives of his soldiers, but Xu Hongxuan's attack was too fierce, and even at the beginning of the battle, he actually let him lead his troops to break through the front village, Liu Bei held the idea of killing chickens and monkeys again, and ordered Ma Chao to take 30,000 lancers and Huang Zhong's 100,000 rear army, and rushed out of Zhongzhai to defeat Xu Hongxuan's Liangzhou defenders.

To tell the truth, if Liu Bei hadn't ordered to chase and kill the defeated army, none of the 80,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou would have been able to escape.

Once again, the effect was almost none, and the vast majority of the defending generals who came from all over the country were like Xu Hongxuan, riding horses and raising guns, leading the soldiers to kill Guan Yu and Xu Huang's camp again, which was not crazy.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao also had to sigh, Tang and the sergeants were so strong in combat and so firm in their will.

Even if it's just some soldiers from the state capital, they are resolute, not to mention their elite Imperial Forest Army.

After eight hours of fighting, five of the eight gates of the Imperial City were lost, which seemed to be a brilliant result, and it also reflected the incompetence of the Imperial Forest Army, but was it really so?

Anximen, 25,000 Imperial Forest Army all died in battle, no one survived, none of them retreated, all died on the city, this is a very rare thing in the era of cold weapons, this alone is enough to prove the extraordinary Imperial Forest Army, and the most important point is that their 25,000 people actually fought Zhang Fei's 30,000 army alive.

At the head of the city, it was basically a one-on-one battle, and the 25,000 Imperial Forest Army, under the siege of 120,000 people, killed 30,000 Shu troops before the whole army was exhausted.

It is undeniable that the individual combat ability of the Imperial Forest Army is higher than that of the Shu Army, and it is not only a step higher, it is really worthy of being the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty, in other words, I am afraid that only this is not the right to drag on and not fight, in order to afford the heavy responsibility of encircling the emperor and guarding the palace.

After feeling the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Royal Forest Army, Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Wen Yuan, how many Tang soldiers have you captured in this battle?" โ€

At this moment, Zhang Liao was covered in the blood of the enemy, and he looked a little embarrassed, and he hugged his fists and said: "If you go back to the King of Wei, you have captured 90,000 enemy soldiers. โ€

Cao Cao nodded and continued: "Wen Yuan, I heard that when you attacked Longguang Gate, you encountered a lot of obstacles? โ€

Zhang Liao said with a disgraced face: "King Wei, the last general is not talented, two and a half hours ago, the last general has successfully attacked the city head of Longguangmen, and even the defenders on the head of the city have been defeated by us, but just when the enemy army was defeated, the ** main general, Liu Renliang, suddenly rushed back from Anximen with 8,000 people, and then he led the original remnants of Longguangmen, and fought back, the last general was careless, and they recaptured Longguangmen, but fortunately, soon the last general led people to retake the city gate, Most of Liu Renliang's soldiers suffered casualties and had to flee back to Miyagi. โ€

After listening to Zhang Liao's answer, Cao Cao nodded lightly, "Well, Liu Renliang, he is a general, and he can recapture the lost city gate from Wen Yuan's hands, not bad, not bad." โ€

Liu Bei also spoke: "Yes, this Liu Renliang deserves to be a famous general, just in terms of arranging troops and strategizing, this person is by no means weaker than Wen Yuan and Yun Chang." โ€

Just as Liu Bei and Cao Cao were talking, a member of the Shu army immediately ran into the big tent and said: "Lord Qiqi, there is a team of people in Chang'an City, there are only a dozen people, and they say that they are here for peace talks." โ€

Cao Cao and Liu Bei glanced at each other and nodded silently, the corners of Qin Shihuang's mouth also showed a smile, and Liu Bei said softly: "Do you know who the messenger is?" โ€

"If you go back to the lord, the person who came claimed to be Zhou Gongliang, the second rank of the Tang Dynasty."

Liu Bei frowned imperceptibly when he heard the words of the second grade imperial history, and Qin Shi Huang simply snorted coldly, "A little imperial history is also worthy of negotiating with us?" Tell that Zhou Gongliang and let Li Zhi come and talk to us in person, he doesn't have that qualification yet. โ€

"Slow," Cao Cao said: "After all, this person is here, and it's not good not to see the previous one, just let him take those captured soldiers away, which can be regarded as an expression of their sincerity." โ€

Liu Bei waved his hand at the soldier and said, "Let him come in, by the way, call Xiaowei over by the way." โ€

"No."

Although it was a small imperial history, which made Qin Shihuang a little unhappy, he still couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that this Li Zhi finally can't withstand the pressure and takes the initiative to negotiate with us. โ€

Liu Bei Cao Cao nodded and said, "This is natural." โ€

After five minutes, Huang Xiaowei walked into the big tent in a daze and said, "What are you asking me to do?" โ€

Dongfang Qing held Xiao Wan'er and didn't wake up from a nap, and Huang Xiaowei was finally able to relax for a while.

Qin Shi Huang beckoned to the two Qin soldiers behind him, and nodded in the direction of Huang Xiaowei, the two Qin soldiers immediately held the Hou clothes of the Marquis of Xiaoyao to change Huang Xiaowei's clothes, while changing clothes, Liu Bei said: "Xiaowei, there will be a waiter in the Tang Dynasty in a while, you will sit in our place, negotiate with him, rest assured, you don't need your kid to talk in person, just sit on it and pretend to be dead for a while, the purpose is very simple, as long as he understands, you are our boss, so that when you come to see Wan'er in the future, Those people in Datang don't dare to do anything to you. โ€

Huang Xiaowei sighed, didn't say anything, after changing into the Hou clothes, he sat in the position of Liu Bei and Cao Cao a little absent-mindedly, at this moment Huang Xiaowei's face is not very good, no way, he is going to die of worry these two days, it is strange if he is not on fire, and the urine is yellow.

Qin Shi Huang and Meng Tian sat on the right-hand side below Huang Xiaowei, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two old men, sat on the left-hand side below Huang Xiaowei, and this wait was fifteen minutes.

Zhou Yushi held an envoy guard of honor, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of horses, he walked in step by step, and it can be seen that this imperial historian was so frightened that his face was pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead was layer by layer, he was afraid, he was really afraid, this and this....... It turns out that there are really millions of people, Zhou Gongliang walked all the way, only to see the large camp of the coalition army, continuous, all the way out of dozens of miles, there is no edge at all, and all of them are full of soldiers, not to mention one million, five million He believes it.

Zhou Gongliang didn't dare to take a breath and came to the big tent, his eyes glanced at Qin Shi Huang and the others who were sitting around, and then looked at Huang Xiaowei at the top, Zhou Yushi hurriedly put on a smile and said: "In the next Zhou Gongliang, on the order of His Majesty of my family, come to meet the heroes, after speaking, you nodded at Qin Shi Huang Liu Bei and smiled: "Hehe, polite, polite." โ€

Zhou Gongliang's posture was very low, very low, if his former colleagues saw it, he would exclaim, "This is definitely not the Zhou Xiaoxiao I know." โ€

Zhou Yushi's usual personality can be summed up in two idioms, flying and domineering, no one in his eyes, he belongs to the handle in the imperial history platform, and there is an advantage when the imperial history is not pleasing to the eye, you can make a small report at any time, even the emperor can scold, Zhou Gongliang usually does not do this kind of thing, every day in the court, training this and scolding that, sometimes Li Zhi has to listen to him scold a few words, and he doesn't dare to talk back, but that is people have a good temper, and they don't want to see him in general.

If you want to replace an emperor like Qin Shi Huang, you will have to kill him a long time ago.
