On the New Year’s Eve, Zhu Youzhen’s army captured Chang’an City.

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

On the Zhuque Avenue, a cavalry battle between Xu Fu and Zhu Youyu was the last grand showdown in Chang'an City. The final result was not unexpected. Xu Fu, who was older and stronger, led his troops to defeat Zhu Youyu, and Zhu Youyu only led more than a hundred cavalry to flee in a panic.

Wherever Xu Fu's flag went, the imperial guards in the city turned against each other and surrendered. After a simple integration, these imperial guards who were just defending the city were returned to Xu Fu's command.

Dai Chao was trapped in Dongcheng and was attacked several times. He was eventually killed by Xu Chong under Xuanping's sect.

Dai Chao's son Dai En saw that the situation was hopeless, so he led a remaining army to seize the gate from Xicheng. After joining Zhu Youyu's remnants, he fled westward.

Xu Fu and Xu Chong led their troops to pursue them relentlessly.

On New Year's Eve, it was a great day for the family to reunite. However, Zhu Youyu's remnants of Daien were caught up by Xu Fu and his son in the Quishi Valley of Ziwu Road. Zhu Youyu asked Sheng Zhonghuai to take about 3,000 people to protect his family and continue to go west. However, he and Daien fought fiercely with Xu Fu and his son in the Quishi Valley.

The two-day blockade caused Sheng Zhonghuai to protect Zhu Youyu's family and penetrate into Ziwu Road and run straight to Hanzhong, while Zhu Youyu and Dai En died in the Jushui Valley.

The second emperor of Daliang was cut off by Xu Fu and brought back to Chang'an. The headless corpse was mixed with thousands of soldiers who died here.

A heavy snow fell, covering up the tragic scene of the Quishhui River Valley. When the army retreated, the various beasts in the Qinling Mountains would clear out the dead bodies for them.

Sheng Zhonghuai did not wait for Zhu Youyu's return in Yang County, but only waited for the news that Zhu Youyu's death brought by the remaining soldiers. After crying, he gathered about 5,000 defeated soldiers and headed to Hanzhong, but he went straight to Zhu Yougui, the second son of the Zhu family.

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

But in fact, just when 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 half true and half false.

It was really because Dai Chao was in the process of escaping, except for his personal soldiers, the other tribes were really disbanded. Some of them fled, and more people were taken into escort by Cao Bin.

The falsehood is that Dai Yue knew it and always restrained his army. Seeing Cao Bin finally caught a trap and entered the Gunhai, a gentleman took revenge and felt that it was not too late for ten days.

You Yong's Zuo Xiaowei had already sneaked into Gunhai in advance. When Cao Bin arrived at the city of Gunzhou, he surrounded him from left to right and completely blocked Cao Bin in Gunzhou.

When the news came, Cao Bin's entire army was panicked. The Gun Navy, who had surrendered to Cao Bin, immediately fled again, and Cao Bin didn't care about them at this time.

The retreat was cut off and he was surrounded by heavy siege. At this time, Cao Bin finally realized that everything was just a matter of time. Dai Yue had surrendered to Tangren. As a qualified bait, he actually crashed into this net without any awareness.

Quick battle and decisive decision! This is Cao Bin’s only way out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the troops are still sufficient, the food and grass can still last for a while, and fight for a bloody road and fight back.

Unfortunately, his opponent, You Yong, who was old on the battlefield, did not give Cao Bin a chance to fight to the decisive battle at all. You Yong set up an iron barrel formation in Sishui Town, Xinglong Town, and Huangtun Formation, waiting for work, and firmly curb Cao Bin's way. He attacked several times, but suffered heavy losses and could not move forward at all.

As time goes by, Cao Bin is already on the verge of despair.

In the city of Gunzhou, he is very brave and leisurely.

He was too lazy to come to the battlefield in person. He was old and such a snowy place was really a torture for him. His will when he was young, the pain began to torture him when he was old.

There was a big brazier in front of me, and the fire was burning vigorously, and there were two warm water bags wrapped around my knees. Every time this time, both knees always made him feel in pain. Only by keeping warm at all times can he feel a little comfortable.

So he always hates winter.

While drinking hot tea, he was flipping through the thick military newspapers and some information sent from outside.

The war was naturally left to Cheng Xu and other young and strong generals, so he didn't need to swing his sword to fight. In terms of courage, he was far inferior to these people.

With his qualifications, he no longer needs to give much credit to add luster to himself. As long as he goes on step by step, when Li Ze becomes famous and becomes a treasure, he is very brave, and the iron hat of a founding hero can be worn on his head.

As a minister who has been loyal to the Li family for two generations, You Yong is very satisfied with the current situation.

They were full of confidence in Li Ze's final succession to the Tang Dynasty. Now, even if Li Ze was willing to sit on the high throne, they would never be satisfied with it.

Li Ze cannot go further, how can they enjoy the greatest fruits of their hard work over the years!

Moreover, these people are all experienced and have experienced many battles. Under such a great form, it is impossible for them to make any mistakes again. The only thing they have to do is to wait until Cao Bin is still fighting the beast, and then he will give him a fatal blow.

After reading the information you had just delivered, You Yong was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands and summoned a personal guard and said, "Go and invite the general to come here."

Soon Dai Yue was invited.

"General, a batch of food and grass have been shipped in the city, and the soldiers on the front line will never be in trouble." Dai Yue bowed. He thought You Yong asked him to come to ask about logistics related matters.

After Cao Bin was surrounded, You Yong did not ask Dai Yue to send troops, but instead asked him to rest on the spot and be responsible for the logistics supply of the entire Tang army surrounding Cao Bin. This made Dai Yue very grateful. Originally, he had prepared for You Yong to order him to attack Cao Bin for the forward driver.

"I am not worried about the general who works hard!" You Yong said: "I invite the general who comes here today because I just received a message about Chang'an City."

Dai Yue's face changed slightly.

"My brother lost their son"

You Yong shook his head slightly: "General Dai, it's a pity that Ling's brother died in Chang'an and his son died in the Quehe Valley. The Dai clan's branch in Chang'an no longer exists. Only Sheng Zhonghuai, with thousands of remaining soldiers, protected Dai Shu and Zhu Youyu's eldest son, escaped into the Qinling Mountains. Judging from their whereabouts, they should go to the west road of Shannan to join Zhu Yougui."

After taking the information from You Yong, Dai Yue hurriedly browsed it and was already in tears. Although he was mentally prepared, when the exact news came, he was still heartbroken.

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

"But!" You Yong nodded and said, "I understand General Dai's thoughts at this moment, and Cao Bin, I think he will break through in these two days. Let's send him the last journey!"

In the Qianzhai and Liang army camp, depression and panic were spreading everywhere. Starting a day ago, there was only one meal a day, and the food everyone received was restricted. It was no secret that there was insufficient food, and even the soldiers at the bottom understood this.

In addition to the necessary alert and preparation for war, everyone else was huddled in the military tent and tried to minimize their activities. First, it was to avoid unnecessary physical energy consumption, and second, it was to be cold.

There was no more than ten miles away from their garrison. Although there was a large coal mine just over ten miles away, where to get coal to keep warm is not a game of fighting against the god of death. The Tang army set up a trap wherever the Liang army left and went, and no one dared to dig coal anywhere. Now, the surrounding areas have been cut off. Not to mention heating, cooking has become a big problem.

The military tent cannot block the cold breath. The only heating measure is to crowd together tightly in the military tent.

If you continue like this, you will not starve to death and you will also freeze to death.

Breakthrough is the only choice.

But Tang Jun could naturally think of what they could think of.

Compared with the Liang army, the Tang army was well prepared and well-equipped. The soldiers' cold-proof equipment was enough to surpass the Liang army several streets. They were facing an army armed to the teeth.

"General, you must break through." Jiang Qi looked at Cao Bin whose hair and beards were already piled up on his head and face like weeds, and said. Since he realized that he had fallen into a trap, Cao Bin fell into an indescribable self-blame and became a little decadent.

"I'm going to break through, otherwise the entire army will be trapped here!" Cao Bin murmured.

"General, the entire army is trapped here." Jiang Qi sighed, "But the general must break through. Otherwise, Wuning will inevitably fail. If Wuning does not protect, Huainan will be lost. If Huainan is lost, Ezhou will not be able to defend it, and the situation in the entire south will collapse completely. Only when you break through and return to Wuning can the situation stabilize, at least, not let the situation worsen further."

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

It doesn't matter if he dies here, but if the situation in the entire south collapses, he will be the criminal of Daliang. Jiang Qi is right. Even if the entire army is trapped here, he will still escape. Zhou Qun may not be reliable. Once he cannot return in time, and the Tang army in Yangzhou invades a full-scale attack, Zhou Qun may turn against him. Now the commander of the army in Huainan is Zhou Qun's son. Once Zhou Qun surrenders, how will his son defend Huainan to the death? I'm afraid he will give in.

Only by going back by yourself can the situation be stabilized, and at least they can reorganize the team to resist the invasion of the Tang army. When the matter of Chang'an is over, the third prince will inevitably come to help.
