After two days and nights of weighing, Qingzhou Governor Bu Tian finally decided to surrender. Xu You's "Book of Bu Tian" was not a simple letter of persuasion, and gave him enough steps and promises in it. With Xu You's current literary name, this letter will soon be spread all over the world and become Bu Tian's amulet. After thinking about it, he opened the camp gate in the early morning, wore green clothes, held the seal of the champion general and the seal of the Guannei Hou, and carried the thorns to the Cuiyu Army camp.

Zuo Qi went out of the gate, held Bu Tian's arms before kneeling down, and said, "My army commander hopes that the general will be like a long drought and rain. From now on, we will be close to brothers and jointly control the enemy."

"I feel ashamed when the criminals come back late. The general of the Northern Conquest never abandoned him, and he tried his best to advise him and gave him a letter. Fortunately, he was lost and knew that he would return. From now on, he is willing to be driven and has no other intentions!"

Zuo Yu collected the seal and comforted him: "General Champion and Marquis of Guannei are official positions awarded by the rebels Xiuming. I will take back the two seals for the time being. The general is still the governor of Qingzhou. All officials will be appointed by the general. But please rest assured. When the general reports to the two high men, King Linchuan and King Jiangxia, they will give other favors and will never let the general suffer any grievances."

This is the meaning of the title. Bu Tian happily handed over the seal and ribbon, and joined the camp with Zuo Tu, and drank happily. More than ten days later, the messenger sent to Jingkou came back, saying that King Jiangxia died, King Linchuan Xinting ascended the throne, and appointed Bu Tian as General Zhenbei, governor of Qingzhou, and Marquis of Ting, and was controlled by Xu You.

Qing, Xu Naiding!

Xiliang and Dingcheng ushered in the most cruel day.

After many days of preparation, Yao Ji recruited tens of thousands of servants from the surrounding five counties, logged wood and quarry, built a large number of siege equipment, killed cattle and sheep, rewarded the three armies with great rewards, and encouraged morale, and spared no effort to make these servants build a mountain higher than the top of the city in the east of the city, killing and injuring thousands of people. The two earthen mountains were finally built and started a general attack at dawn in the early morning.

Five hundred archers on the earthen mountain shot continuously with strong bows to suppress the enemies on the city. Thousands of brave men who dared to die first set up a ladder to hook the female wall, and then used the wooden curtains as defense. They braved dense wooden beatings, arrows, stones and boiling boiling water, and climbed up like monkeys.

Several carts also took advantage of the chaos to push under the city wall. The soldiers flocked out with iron, turrets, and hoes dug holes along the base of the wall. Wang Bozhi, who found their intention, immediately ordered people to pour sesame oil into a pottery jar, ignite it, and threw it on the cart. However, the cart was wrapped in three layers of raw cowhide leather, and the middle was filled with soil. The fire attack could not be effective, and they shot with a crossbow, which was also injured less than a slight injury. In less than an hour, they dug the foundation, then supported it with wooden pillars, digged about three meters inside, poured oil, and ignited the wooden pillars and quickly evacuated.

When the wooden pillars were burned, the city wall collapsed into a diagonal slope with a rumbling sound, revealing a gap of seven or eight steps wide. Yao Ji was overjoyed and ordered the flag to wave the flag. The three thousand elite soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed over. The prepared defenders immediately blocked the gap with the wooden fence. Five rows of spearmen stood in turn, and the front row squatted on the ground. The spears poked out from under the fence. The second row leaned slightly forward, and the spears poked out from the middle of the fence. The third row stood, and the spears were on the top of the fence. The two rows of guns were on standby, arming the gap into iron hedgehogs with fangs spreading. Then hundreds of caltrops strung with ropes were thrown out along the slope. All the people who stepped on sprains broke their ankles and rolled on the ground wailingly, greatly delaying the speed of the march.

After finally approaching the gap, many crossbowmen holding powerful crossbows suddenly appeared from both sides. The sound of the sound of the Ji Kuo was accompanied by the grim smile of the god of death. The person who rushed in front seemed to be hit by a giant hammer coming towards him. Like a slow motion of a movie, the person flew backwards, forming a strong visual contrast with the comrades rushing forward, rolling and falling into the flying dust, looking at the sky with a dull look, twitching a few times, his body no longer moved.

"Rise the shield, raise the shield!"

"Roll, don't stop!"

After two waves of arrow rain, the left soldiers had already rushed to the gap. The three rows of spears in the upper, middle and lower were stabbed out fiercely. Three large blood holes suddenly burst into their chest and waist, and there was no chance to scream. They were killed immediately. Then they pulled out the tip of the gun and stabbed out again, quickly, neatly and tricky, obviously after special targeted training.

But the left army was the most elite unit of Liang Kingdom. He was fearless and even Yuduo Guard could not match, let alone the soldiers in Dingcheng. A left army had three long spears inserted into the waist, but he still held his breath and rushed to the fence, making it impossible for the other party to pull out the tip of the gun smoothly, and then waved his long sword and cut off the head of a spearman.

In just a few breaths, the gap was filled with corpses of both sides!

The city walls were full of people, and the gap was further expanded. After half a day of hard fighting, fires suddenly ignited everywhere in the city, first in the granary, then in the house, and then in the arsenal. The defenders were shocked and suspicious, and could no longer hold back, and retreated one after another. Yao Ji personally led 5,000 cavalry to ride horses into the city from the gap. Wang Bozhi organized five lines of defense in the city, but the morale of the army was already in chaos and could not resist, and they were easily broken by Yao Ji.

When the sun sets, Dingcheng, the last pass east of Chang'an, falls!

The fire that ignited at the most critical moment of the Dingcheng offensive and defense battle will naturally not be for no reason. It was when Yao Ji defeated Chang'an reinforcements, Wen Ziyou deliberately sent five thousand defeated soldiers into the city, mixed with dozens of Month Seal's men. These people were like pepper sprinkled into the Wei River, and they drilled into the city everywhere. But at a certain moment, a nail could overthrow an empire, let alone dozens of nails, which were just used to overthrow a city.

Subsequently, the governor of Qinzhou and general of Zhendong, Wang Bozhi committed suicide and died for his country. More than 7,000 remaining people in his troops surrendered collectively. After being incorporated by Yao Ji, they took a few rest. They took hundreds of boats and went straight to the Wei Bridge north of Chang'an City along the Wei River.

Today, Chang'an City still inherited the appearance of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. It was not until the beginning of the Sui Dynasty that the capital was moved to Daxing City and the Tang Dynasty renamed Chang'an, which led to the so-called Chang'an City in later generations.

The area of ​​Han Chang'an was less than half of that of Tang Chang'an, but in this era it was already a rare big city, which was equally difficult to defend. Moreover, the city had a population of 300,000. Once it was besieged, it would be out of food soon. Therefore, after the fall of Dingcheng in Tongguan, Chang'an was a beauty without clothes, and anyone could ravage it. Later Tang Chang'an was captured as an imperial capital seven times within three hundred years. This was a sad past that never happened in any capital, and Xiliang was no exception.

Yao Jin was helpless. He was the lieutenant of the city and was the lieutenant of the prison. He went out of the city to fight in the field and had no general who could deal with Yao Ji. The ministers also had different opinions. Some said that they abandoned the city, some said that they surrendered, and some said that they were discussing peace. Anyway, no one could solve the current crisis. When he was panicked and at a loss, the prefect of Anding County Juqu Wugu led 15,000 Lushui Hu to support him. Yao Jin said with a sigh: "The country is in trouble and we know loyal ministers. There are 87 counties in the six prefectures of Daliang. Only Lushui Hu is willing to serve the king!"

Immediately opened the east gate to welcome Juquwugu into the city. Yao Jin personally went out of the palace to greet him. After encouraging him, he appointed Juquwugu as the governor of Liangzhou and rewarded Lushuihu with tens of millions of money and silk. Juquwugu took the initiative to ask for his order to station in Pingshuo Gate, which is the north gate of Chang'an City. The north gate is opposite the Weiqiao, and Yao Ji's camp is stationed on the banks of Weiqiao.

This is facing the enemy head-on, not afraid of war and responsible, Yao Jin was very pleased and immediately agreed to what he asked. At midnight, Juqu Wugu opened the city gate and let Yao Ji enter the city, leading his troops to pretend to retreat. When Yao Jin received the news, he hurriedly ordered the right commander Yao Xin to lead 20,000 Yuduo Guards to support him, Juqu Wugu suddenly cut in from the flank and attacked Yao Ji in front and back. Three thousand Yuduo Guards died in battle, and Yao Xin abandoned his weapons and surrendered.

Yao Jin hurriedly fled from Chang'an with only 300 cavalry, and was as in a hurry as a dog with a broken family. He looked up at the wilderness and had nowhere to go. Suddenly, he remembered what Yao Yan told him before his death: That day, remember to go find Zhu Zhi... Liangzhou, it is your life that can save you...

Zhu Zhi!

But where are you going to find Zhu Zhi now?

Yao Jin gritted his teeth, and finally looked back at the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City and said, "Let's go to Liangzhou!"

There are four roads from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and there are four roads in total, but they all pass through the 800-mile Qinchuan, namely Ziwu Road, Luogu Road, Baoxi Road and Chencang Road. Chencang Road is too far away to go by, and the Baoxi Road is deep and dense forests are difficult to travel. Although Luogu Road is closest, the several mountains you climbed on the way are more steep than other roads, especially Shibapan and Laojun Ridge near Luogu Pass, which has always been known as the underworld. Since Yaoliang dominated Guanzhong and isolated from the north and south, this road has long been abandoned.

So after choosing, there is actually only the Ziwu Road to walk.

For more than 20 consecutive days, he flowed down from the Chang'an River Valley, along Huoditang, Xiyaoling Pass, Ningshan Old Town, Guankou and Tangping into Shiquan County, passed Qingcao Pass, Zhanlongya, Yanping, and Lianghekou to Ziwu Town, Xixiang County. He kept running and was restless. When the lord of Xiliang, Yao Jin, who was covered in dust and dust, saw the Han River, he couldn't help but shed tears on the riverside.

A double-decker boat docked on the north shore of the Han River. A man walked out of the bow of the boat, wearing a rolled lotus crown and a wide-sleeved shirt. Although he was thin and his eyebrows were drooping, his eyes were as calm as the abyss and the sea, and he smiled and said, "Lord Yao, Zhu Zhi has been waiting here for many days!"
