After dealing with Li Meng and Wang Fang's team, Pei Qing immediately led his army to Chang'an. However, as soon as he arrived at Baling, he encountered some fleeing soldiers. He ordered people to capture the soldiers and asked carefully. This time he realized that Chang'an had fallen last night. These soldiers were the original defenders of Chang'an. After the loss of Chang'an, they ran around and were hit by Pei Qing.

"How could this happen? It's only a few days? Chang'an still has more than 30,000 troops. Even if the enemy attacks with all their strength, they can defend for ten days and half a month, right? Why did it fall so quickly?" Pei Qing looked in disbelief, and he stared at his red eyes and shouted loudly.

This is not because Pei Qing is so anxious. If he can defeat the Xiliang army this time, his position will definitely be promoted again. In Chang'an, he also has his fiancée, Princess Wannian Liu Ning. Although this is just a political marriage, his woman is his. Now that Chang'an falls, they can never meet again. Although because she is a princess, her personal safety is basically not to be considered, Pei Qing was still very sad and angry.

The soldier said stutteringly: "General, General, this is all because of Yang Ding's dog thief. He was surrendered by Li Jue and Guo Si, secretly opened the city gate to welcome the Xiliang army into the city, which led to the fall of Chang'an."

"Yang Ding? I really didn't expect that the matter would be broken in the hands of a general who was not even a second-rate. He was really careless and lost all the money." Pei Qing smiled bitterly and then asked, "How is Wang Situ? How is Lu Bu? And, how is Your Majesty? Do you know all these?"

When the soldier heard this, his eyes turned red and he sighed softly: "Wang Situ was killed, even his sons and more than ten clans were implicated. In fact, when the city was broken, General Lu Bu found Wang Situ and wanted to protect him from fighting, but Wang Situ refused. Wang Situ said, if we can rely on the blessing of the country and make the country stable, this is my wish. If it cannot be realized, I am willing to die to repay the country. If today I am young, rely on my assistance. If we abandon the emperor and escape when we are in danger, our hearts will be

Zhong really couldn't bear it, and he couldn't face Pei Qing's entrustment. General, please leave quickly. In the future, mobilize the Guandong masters to make them think more of the country. At the same time, I apologize to Pei Qing. I let him down and I can only pay back the debt in the next life. After that, Wang Situ protected the emperor to hide, and was finally killed by two thieves from Li Jue and Guo Si. After the city was broken, Lu Bu led his soldiers to break out. It was probably because he fled to the direction of Wuguan. He was very hurried when he was fleeing, and even his family had landed in Chang'an. Now his life and death are unknown..."

Pei Qing sighed after hearing this: "Although Wang Situ is usually a bit arrogant, he is loyal, strong in nature, and has great achievements in killing Dong Zhuo. It is a pity that he died today."

At this time, two soldiers burst into tears and said to Pei Qing: "Pei Gong, you can only rely on you for revenge on Wang Situ. Please ask Pei Gong to bring up the tiger and wolf army, lead the people to serve the king, kill the rebels, welcome the emperor back, and avenge Wang Situ."

Pei Qing heard this and said, "Are you two Wang Situ's disciples? Why are you so obsessed with Wang Situ's hatred?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, and then one of them said, "To be honest, we are Wang Situ's sons. My name is Wang Chen, this one is my brother, named Wang Ling and the name Yanyun. We were hiding and finally got rid of it. The original meaning was to escape back to Bingzhou and save our lives. However, after all, we were unwilling to accept it, so we came to look for the Grand Commander, hoping that the Grand Commander could kill him and return to Chang'an to make the National Pursuit."

Pei Qing listened to this and pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "I can understand your feelings, but look at it. I have only 30,000 to 40,000 remaining soldiers under my command, and half of them are Xiliang soldiers who have just surrendered. It is simply a delusion to rely on them to attack Chang'an. In fact, I am more anxious than you. I am the royal relative. The emperor and my wife, Princess Wannian, are both trapped in the city. However, I also have to be responsible for these loyal and brave soldiers. Therefore, I need to return to Yuzhou, train the army well, and at the same time mobilize the Guandong Dukes to lead the troops together to support the king. If you believe me, then go to Yuzhou with me. At most, I will take the lead back to Guanzhong. If I don't believe it, I will not force you to go back to your Bingzhou and I will go back to Yuzhou."

After hearing this, Wang Chen was so anxious that his tears fell down. He said to Pei Qing: "Mr. Pei, if this happens, I really don't know how much poison the people in Guanzhong will suffer? How much grievances will the emperor and the princess suffer? As a royal relative, how can you abandon them? Will this disappoint all the scholars and people in the world?"

However, Wang Ling advised: "Brother, don't force Mr. Pei like this. In fact, what Mr. Pei said makes sense. For temporary humiliation to exchange for final victory is what the hero does. If you only rely on temporary blood and courage, then the relatives will suffer and the enemy will be happy."

When Wang Chen heard this, he snorted and said unhappily: "You mean you are willing to follow him to Yuzhou? Since that's the case, then we brothers will part ways. I want to see if your Duke Pei will lead the army to attack the two thieves Li Guo in three years?"

After saying that, Wang Chen bowed to Pei Qing and left with great strides.

"Brother, brother, why are you so impatient?" Wang Ling quickly stopped him and wanted to stop Wang Chen, but saw Wang Chen saying, "No need to shout anymore. I have decided. If Mr. Pei can really lead his army to conquer Chang'an in three years, I will definitely apologize to him in person."

"This, this, Mr. Pei, my brother is such a person. He is impatient and reckless. Mr. Pei must not be as knowledgeable as him." Wang Ling was afraid that Pei Qing would blame Wang Chen, so he quickly explained to him.

Pei Qing smiled bitterly and sighed: "Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang had not usurped the times. He died in the first place. Who knows the truth of his life? Will I come back? I can only let history prove it. On the day when the truth is revealed, Brother Ling's misunderstanding will be clarified. Since Chang'an has been lost, it doesn't make any sense for us to go. Let's go back to Yuzhou. I wonder if Mr. Yanyun, are you following me to Yuzhou or accompanying Brother Ling to Bingzhou?"

Wang Ling immediately bowed and said, "The villain believes in Mr. Pei, and the villain is willing to follow Mr. Pei back to Yuzhou."

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's go back to Yuzhou. As for Chang'an, I will definitely come back." Pei Qing then ordered the army to bypass Chang'an and go directly to Wuguan.

“眼看长安近在咫尺,可是我却只能眼睁睁看着离开,那里有我的未婚妻刘凝,还有我的两个朋友蔡琰和董白,惟愿你们能够平安,请相信我,我现在出于无奈把你们留在了那里,可是过不了多长时间,我一定来接你们.”
