But the prerequisite for this is to find the emperor first.

Li Pu directed everyone to search for the emperor, while he led his people to control the remaining three city walls.

There were stragglers everywhere along the way, some were just running away, others were taking advantage of the chaos in the city to rob, and even some ordinary ruffians were taking advantage of this moment to make a fortune.

When Li Pu rushed to the city gate, he found that the city wall had been occupied by the French soldiers.

When Li Pu inspected the four gates, he found that the defenders on the city wall had no intention of fighting. As soon as the soldiers who destroyed the law arrived, these defenders surrendered one after another.

Without much effort, they controlled the entire Chang'an City, but at this time Chang'an City was still very weak.

After a day of running around, all the soldiers were very tired.

Li Pu ordered everyone to rest on the city wall, half resting and half standing guard.

Beware of being as lazy as the defenders of Chang'an City. They didn't think of closing the door until the enemy invaded the city.

It was very cold in the late autumn night, but the soldiers fell down beside the city wall and fell asleep with Jia.

………

"What! Tongguan fell, and Pan Feng led an army of 50,000 to attack Chang'an City?"

Li Jue couldn't believe how Tongguan, which Fan Chou personally guarded with an army of 40,000, was defeated by Pan Feng.

But now, no matter how much I can't believe it, the guard general's statement about the fall of Chang'an cannot be wrong.

This guard was a nephew of Li Jue, named Li Feng.

He had taken Li Feng with him since he joined the army. This time, the defender of Chang'an City was supposed to be Zhang Ji, but later Li Jue personally replaced Zhang Ji with Li Feng.

Zhang Ji's soldiers were dispersed by Pan Feng and had no confidence to fight against Li Jue. He had no choice but to become an idle general in Chang'an.

The reason why Chang'an city guard was replaced by Li Feng was because he no longer wanted to compromise with Guo Si and Fan Chou.

Fan Chou's dagger was Guo Si's poison.

Do you really think that he, Li Jue, is stupid? Do you really believe that it is a fish intestine sword or sandworm powder?

After replacing Li Feng with the defender, if he wins, then Guo Bin and Fan Chou will not be able to survive.

If he loses, he can let Li Feng run away with the emperor.

But he didn't expect that Pan Feng would come so quickly, and Li Jue didn't doubt Li Feng.

Although Li Feng was greedy for money and lustful, he still dared not hide such a major matter from himself.

"Yes! Then Pan Feng led an army of 50,000 to attack the city. It happened suddenly, and I was not prepared. I should have been caught off guard by Pan Feng, and I had no choice but to lose Chang'an. Uncle, I'm sorry for you..."

As Li Feng spoke, he started crying and knelt on the ground, beating the ground helplessly.

Li Feng understood that his crime this time was too serious. If he could defend the city, Li Jue could arrive with his army as long as he persisted for two hours.

But he didn't block it at all, just like opening the city gate to welcome Pan Feng into the city.

And if Li Jue knew that Pan Feng actually only had a few thousand people, he would be damned if he didn't behead him.

In addition, the emperor was not found, which was what puzzled Li Feng the most. He had clearly sent troops to guard all the exits of the palace before, but he could not find the emperor.

"Where is the emperor? Where are the emperor's people?" Li Jue seemed not to have seen Li Feng's performance, and said expressionlessly.

"The Emperor...the Emperor...is missing. The army of destroyers...is too strong to withstand it. When the city was destroyed, I immediately entered the palace to look for it, but I didn't expect that the Emperor was gone. It must be those rotten people!"

They must have hidden the Emperor!"

"What do I need from you?" Li Jue suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist.

"Pull Li Feng out and chop him!"

"General, think twice. Now that the enemy is at your side, why not let him take away his merits? Even if he dies on the battlefield, it will not be in vain for Li Feng's love, General." Several generals in the tent hurriedly knelt down to plead for Li Feng.

Seeing that the generals were pleading with Li Feng, Li Jue borrowed Poxia's donkey.

After all, Li Li is dead, and Li Feng is now the person he trusts most.

Moreover, it would be a pity to kill him, after all, he would soon have to face Zhang He's pursuit.

"Losing the city of Chang'an and losing the emperor is a capital crime! But because you have been diligent for many years, I will spare your life. I will give you fifty military sticks and be demoted to a soldier. You will obey orders in front of the battle. If you make any mistakes again, you will be punished with multiple crimes.

I will kill you without mercy!"

Li Jue put his sword back into his waist and ordered the soldiers to pull Li Feng down and beat him with military clubs.

"What should we do now?" Li Jue also had no idea.

Now there is Zhang He in front and Pan Feng behind. Being attacked from both sides, the battle will be lost.

Pan Feng is famous all over the world for destroying the French army. He is invincible and invincible in every battle.

Coupled with the tens of thousands of elite cavalry led by Zhang He, there was no possibility of winning. Asking the generals for advice was just an excuse to run away.

"General, now that I have formidable enemies in front and behind me, it is better to retreat for the time being and make plans later." A general stood up and said what Li Jue wanted to say.

"Sigh, I wanted to have a bloody battle with that Pan Feng, but according to your words, even for the sake of the soldiers, I can only avoid his sharp edge temporarily."

Li Jue sighed.

"Listen to the order! Abandon Gaoling temporarily, cross the river from Zuo Fengyi, and go to Jingzhou."

Liangzhou cannot be reached now. It is the territory of Han Sui and Ma Teng. If they are blocked by the combined forces of the two, Zhang He will be chasing after him, which will bring disaster.

And Yizhou couldn't be reached. Yizhou was already dangerous. How could Liu Zhang take him in if he and others had sent troops to attack him two years ago?

They had mostly cavalry, so if they were trapped on a narrow mountain road, they would have no choice but to wait for death.

After much deliberation, there are only Jingzhou and Yanzhou, but there has been no war in Jingzhou for a long time, and Liu Biao is old.

Even if Liu Biao is unwilling to accept him, he can still seize a piece of territory with his own army.

…………

Early in the morning in Tongguan, the shouts of killing could be heard from afar in front of the pass.

Finally, the cry to kill slowly lowered its voice until it disappeared.

"What! Hua Yin is lost! You..." Fan Chou had just repelled a wave of attacks from the Destroying French Army when he received urgent information.

Before Fan Chou could finish speaking, another Pegasus came over. Looking at the man on the horse, Fan Chou felt something bad.

These are the cronies he arranged in Chang'an City. Once there are changes in Chang'an, dozens of cronies he arranged will report to him.

The cavalrymen on this horse were dusty and worn, and their armor was broken in many places. It looked like they had experienced hard battles.

Before the horse could stop, the cavalryman fell off his horse.

Fan Chou hurriedly stepped forward and fumbled for a book from the cavalryman. After a rough look at the letter, Fan Chou couldn't believe the content in the letter. After reading it carefully again, he suddenly felt dizzy.

"How was Chang'an lost? Did Zhang He come in?" Fan Chou sat helplessly on the ground, holding on to the wall.

Seeing that the cavalry did not answer, Fan Chou realized that the cavalry was already dead.

It seems that on the way this cavalry came, they encountered quite a blockage.

And seeing that none of the other cronies came, they must have died on the road, and he was the only one who ran out.
