That day, when Dali's dragon flag was flying high above the city.

The capital city was filled with cheers, and people opened their doors to welcome the long-lost "freedom." Many houses hung red robes and even set off firecrackers.

At the same time, Doulaoliu's elimination of the remnants of the Shun army continued.

With the cooperation of the Feiyu Guards and the people, the remnants of the Shun army who had not had time to escape from the city were searched from all over the city.

The tiger's mouth was covered with a knife, and the rest were stuffed into the cell. There were as many as two thousand people.

Under Wei Yuanji's persuasion, Doulaoliu jointly issued the "Anmin Order" and the "Curfew Order", sent soldiers to patrol the streets to maintain order, released officials and civilians arrested by the Shun Army, and issued the "Conscription Order" the next day.

make".

The so-called conscription is to recruit young people in the city to strengthen the city's defense.

Capturing the capital is only half the battle; holding the capital is the other half.

If the capital is occupied, the Shun army will definitely not give up.

If more than 200,000 troops counterattack, Doulaoliu's men and horses alone will not be enough.

In a night of bloody fighting, more than 3,000 of Doulaoliu's men were killed and more than 2,000 were injured, with only half of them still able to fight.

But it is in line with the saying: Where the human heart belongs, only Tao and righteousness should be the focus.

As for this Tao and righteousness, it all depends on the companionship.

When Emperor Dali was in power, the people were full of complaints, but at least life could go on smoothly.

As a result, when the troops arrived, no one was able to stop them, including torture, robbery, murder, and arson, and even organized large-scale land scraping.

Three words: No way to survive.

In the huge capital city, almost every household wears mourning and mourning.

Especially officials and wealthy people, who are usually pampered and privileged people, were tortured by the Shun army and subjected to endless demands and threats. Half of them died in prison. The remaining half were either disabled or went crazy with fear. A few lucky people picked them up.

To regain a life, but also to return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

There is no need to talk about the hatred and fear that the whole city has for the Shun Army.

Dali is a bad person at best, and Dashun is simply a group of demons who eat human flesh and skin.

Therefore, as soon as the "conscription order" was issued, the people in the city responded enthusiastically.

On the first day alone, Doulao Liu raised 20,000 young men, a considerable proportion of whom were Qingniu disciples and former soldiers of Dali, as well as many servants and servants of wealthy families.

Millions of living beings in the huge capital city are united and determined not to let the Shun army take the city back again.

…

At the same time, news of the capital's recovery spread rapidly to all directions.

The capital is a place with extremely special symbolic meaning.

The border troops regained the capital, giving a shot in the arm to the Dali troops who were still resisting everywhere.

It also made the generals and cities who originally surrendered to Dashun feel shaken and undercurrents surged.

The torture and donation by the Shun Army was not limited to the capital. The generals of the Shun Army in various places followed suit and began to plunder the bones and plunder the marrow. Many places were harmed as if they were invaded by foreigners. There were even massacres in three places.

This made many places that surrendered feel regretful. They originally thought that surrendering would avoid disaster, but in the end...

Also "Welcome King Chuang, King Chuang will not pay for food when he comes", yes, there is no need to pay for food, they will come to rob, not only rob, but also burn, kill, loot and cause trouble.

Soon the first real city appeared.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Chang Mingliang, the prefect of Zhending, joined forces with the guerrilla general Li Weixiong, expelled thousands of obedient soldiers, recaptured the city of Zhending, and raised the flag anyway.

In response to this call, Pingshan, Lingshou, Zhaozhou and Luancheng responded one after another.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Hao Zhengye, the governor of water transportation, led 2,000 water troops. With the cooperation of Zhong Maoyan, a fellow magistrate of Cangzhou, he killed the Cangzhou defender of the Shun Army and announced the recovery of Cangzhou.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Zhao Sen, the prefect of Shunde, united with the landlords and rural soldiers, killed 300 Shun soldiers, and announced that Shunde was rebelling. On the same day, Shahe, Nanping, and Julu responded one after another.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Su Jinghui, the commander-in-chief of Linqing, led his 5,000 men anyway, defeated the 2,000 Shun army, regained Linqing Mansion, and took advantage of the victory to attack Qinghe.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shun army's Qinghe garrison abandoned the city and fled, and Qinghe was recovered.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, Wucheng, Pingyuan, and Fucheng are all in general.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month...

…

Time goes back.

In Jizhou, when Li Chuang received the news of the fall of the capital, he was shocked by the thunder. He grabbed the fleeing general by the collar and shouted: "Even if they capture 50,000 pigs, they won't be able to catch them all in three days and three nights. It's better for you."

Fifty thousand people defended the city, and the capital was lost in one night, so what do I need from you!"

After roaring, he immediately pushed him out together with the bunch of escapees kneeling on the ground and beheaded them all.

Song Xiance was shocked when he heard the news.

The Shun army was defeated too quickly in the capital and was completely caught off guard.

Even if they can hold off for a day or two, it will still be too late for the main force of the army to return reinforcements, even partial reinforcements.

The result was that 50,000 people lost such a large capital city in one night.

Still, they were defeated by 10,000 people.

Prime Minister Li Yan was also trapped in the city and could not escape.

"Your Majesty, return to the army immediately. Li Jing must be taken back!" Song Xiance said hurriedly.

The demonstration effect of the capital city is too strong, but the Shun army's control over various places and the demotion of officials and generals is still too weak. Once the news spreads, rebellions will definitely arise.

"Report!" At this moment, a fast-horse scout loudly announced, kneeling down and saying: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"

"There's no need to talk about matters in the capital anymore, get out!" Li Chuang was furious and kicked over the wine table in front of him.

The scout was startled and instinctively took two steps back, but he did not leave. Instead, he said with a frightened face: "Your Majesty, military information does not come from the capital."

Li Chuang was startled, and Song Xiance was stunned.

Then he heard the scout say: "The former general Cao Wenzhao led 20,000 cavalry to enter the pass from Xifengkou, and the vanguard has reached our army thirty miles away. His nephew Cao Bianjiao led 10,000 cavalry to enter the pass from Shanhai.

One hundred and sixty miles away from our army."

After the scout finished speaking, Li Chuang could hear a needle drop in his tent.

The expressions of all the advisers and generals changed greatly.

The capital here had just been captured, and Cao Wenzhao's nasty fly appeared!

Not only did he appear, but his nephew Cao Bianjiao, who fought bravely across the three armies, also entered the pass for the first time.

Thirty thousand cavalry!

Cao's general spent all his capital.

Those 30,000 cavalry are all frontier soldiers, they are by no means idle, and Cao's uncle and nephew are both foreign warriors.

Moreover, Cao's generals have great influence in Liaodong and Jiubian, and it is not ruled out that other generals from Jiubian will also be dispatched.

Four words: Something bad is happening!

"You thief, the cavalry will attack with me. I will first destroy Cao Wenzhao's group, then destroy Cao Bianjiao, and send their uncles and nephews to the underworld to reunite." Li Chuang was furious and immediately ordered.

The generals hurriedly issued orders.

Half an hour later, Li Chuang led all the cavalry of the Shun army, totaling 40,000 people, to attack Cao Wenzhao.

However, his plan failed.

Cao Wenzhao had suffered a loss and would not confront him head-on.

In a cavalry battle, if one party deliberately avoids it, the battle will be difficult to fight.

From the battle at noon to dusk, Li Chuang never got a decent fight, and was actually led by Cao Wenzhao.

Not only did they not get any advantage, but a cavalry group was ambushed by Cao Wenzhao, an old man, and hundreds of people were killed or injured.

Overturned, the two sides fought again.

As a result, Cao Wenzhao still refused to accept the call, and 20,000 cavalry were on the plain in front of the pass. If you chase, I will retreat, if you stop, I will harass, if you retreat, I will chase.

The fighting style was exactly that of the Rong tribe in the grasslands. The Shun army was very unsuited to the fight. Although they were twice as strong as the enemy, they did not gain any advantage and instead lost thousands of people.

Li Chuang roared angrily and finally caught Cao Wenzhao. As a result, the two sides exchanged blows and without Liu Zongmin's help, the fight ended in a draw.

On the third day, Li Chuang sent out infantry to encircle them on all sides.

However, Cao Wenzhao had already been prepared and secretly moved the main force last night, leaving only a small number of troops as suspects.

The main force lay in ambush on the side, and if they caught the infantry of the shun army, they would give them a heavy blow.

Good guy, 20,000 infantrymen of the shun army were killed in pieces, and their corpses were scattered all over the field.

If it were not for the timely reinforcements from the Shunjun cavalry, the entire army of 20,000 infantry would have been wiped out.

Li Chuang, who was hurt by the beating, had no choice but to shrink his formation and move step by step, squeezing Cao Wenzhao's movement space bit by bit.
