Chapter 214 Breaking Chang'an to sacrifice to brother
Chapter 214: Destroying Chang'an to sacrifice his brother alive
"Uncle, Liu Zhang's army is attacking the city!" When Liu Zhang commanded his army to Chang'an, Li Xian immediately found Li Jue.
"Are you finally here?" Li Jue smiled and said, "Go! Call Li Huan, Li Li, and Li Shi. I have something to give you!"
"Yes!" Li Xian immediately went down to deliver the order, and Li Huan and others arrived soon.
Li Jue glanced at the crowd and said, "Liu Zhang finally couldn't help but attack the city. What do you think?"
"I listen to brother!" Li Huan always followed Li Jue's lead, and he would never oppose Li Jue's opinions.
"This...let's run away!" Li Li and Li Shi were both cowardly and incompetent people, and their first reaction was to run away.
"I...run away!" Seeing that Li Huan and others had no intention of fighting, Li Xian looked helpless. He originally wanted to fight, but now everyone wanted to escape, and he couldn't hold an objection to avoid being caught by Li Jue.
Used as cannon fodder.
"Okay! Put these on, and when the city is broken, we will get through!" Li Jue was very satisfied when he saw this. He ordered someone to bring several sets of pawn uniforms for Li Xian and others to wear.
"Uncle, this is so frustrating!" Li Xian finally couldn't help but said: "We have Chang'an Fortified City, but we haven't even fought yet, so why are we giving up!"
"Fight? Why fight?" Li Jue said with an angry face: "I have 200,000 troops, but they are no match for Liu Zhang. Now there are only 20,000 people! Do you just rely on those common people? If you want to fight, I will send all the troops
It’s all left to you, you can direct it!”
"I..." Li Xian really wanted to agree, but he was no longer the reckless young man he was before. He knew that Li Jue wanted to find someone to die on his behalf, so he stopped talking and silently put on the clothes of a pawn.
"Humph!" Li Jue snorted coldly and stopped talking. After everyone had finished changing their clothes, Li Jue led everyone to the north gate, waiting for the moment the city was broken, and then sneaked out of the city.
"Boom..." With a loud noise, the four gates of Chang'an were breached at the same time. It was not that Liu Zhang's soldiers were brave, but that the people defending the city had fainted from hunger. As for Li Jue's soldiers, there were only 20,000 people, what could they do?
"Let's go!" As soon as the city gate was broken, Li Jue led everyone and rushed out of the city.
Liu Zhang was sitting high on his horse when he suddenly saw someone coming out of the city. Although there were only three or five people, their fighting power should not be underestimated. He immediately called Dian Wei and said, "Lao Dian, go and capture those people!"
"Yes!" Dian Wei clapped his horse forward and rushed straight towards Li Jue and others. After a while, Li Huan, Li Li, and Li Xian were all captured alive.
"Who are you?" Liu Zhang didn't know Li Huan or Li Li. As for Li Xian, although Liu Zhang glanced at him from a distance, his face was bloody now. It was not that easy to recognize him!
"General, we are just pawns in the Liangzhou army, and we are going to take advantage of the chaos to escape home. Since we have an eighty-year-old mother above us and a three-year-old child waiting to be fed, please be kind and let us go!" After all, Li Huan is old.
They were older and were very good at pretending. Seeing that Liu Zhang did not recognize them, Li Huan immediately pretended to be very pitiful and burst into tears. It was really sad for those who saw it and shed tears for those who heard it.
"Really?" A cold light flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes. It wasn't that he didn't sympathize with Li Huan, but that he realized that Li Huan and the other three were not like ordinary soldiers. How could an ordinary soldier be captured alive by an enemy general and still complain without changing his expression? Scared.
I was so scared that I even peed!
There is another more important point. If an ordinary soldier is caught, he will definitely kowtow violently in order to survive. But although Li Huan and the other three were kneeling on the ground, they did not kowtow for half of it. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the three Li Huan. They hold high positions and have always been
Others always salute them, so when do they kowtow to others too much?
"Sir, everything I said is true!" Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't seem to believe it, Li Huan became even more cheerful.
"Okay!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Where is Li Jue? Tell him where he is, and I will spare your life!"
"Where is General Li? How can we, the little pawns, know where he is?" Li Huan continued to pretend to be stupid, but did not notice that Liu Zhang's face was getting colder and colder.
"General, Li Jue went out of the city disguised as a soldier. We really don't know where he is! He was with us just now!" Li Li was timid and most sensitive to murderous intent. He looked up and saw Liu Zhang with a ferocious look on his face. He was so frightened that he told the truth
They all said it, but Li Huan and Li Xian didn't stop him!
"Li Jue fled with you?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It seems that your identity is not simple. Am I right? General Li Siam!"
It turned out that Li Xian's actions just now were too big, and the primary school around Liu Zhang recognized them. Naturally, the primary school did not dare to hide it, so he told Liu Zhang. Since they were Li Jue's relatives, Liu Zhang was even less likely to let them go!
"Hmph! Now that you have recognized me, I am not afraid to tell you that my uncle has left long ago. If you kill me, he will avenge me!" Li Xian stood up and looked at Liu Zhang fiercely, thinking
Attract Liu Zhang's attention to himself.
"What about these two?" Liu Zhang pointed at Li Huan and Li Li.
"They are just my personal guards!" Li Xian was recognized, and naturally he did not want his uncle and brother to be recognized as well.
"It turns out they are just personal guards!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Drag him down and kill him!"
"No... don't kill me!" Li Li was most afraid of death. Seeing that Liu Zhang was about to kill him, he rolled and crawled towards Liu Zhang. Two spears immediately held him back. Liu Zhang's personal guards would not let outsiders
Close to Liu Zhang.
"I don't mind killing you. Tell me, where has Li Jue gone?" Liu Zhang said with a sinister look on his face, "Or, tell me where Li Jue is going!"
"I...I said..." Li Li's eyes were blank and he stammered: "Li Jue...return..."
"Don't tell!" Li Huan and Li Xian were both anxious. If Li Li didn't tell Li Jue's whereabouts, they would still have a chance to survive. If he told them, they would definitely die. Unfortunately, Li Li still told them.
"So I'm back to Liangzhou!" Liu Zhang was secretly happy. He admired Jia Xu's wisdom in grasping human nature even more. Of course, he was also glad in his heart that Jia Xu was not his enemy.
"Lord!" Seeing that Liu Zhang was a little distracted, Dian Wei touched him and asked, "What should we do with these people?"
"Drag him down and deal with it when he catches Li Jue!" Liu Zhang didn't even look at Li Li, who was howling miserably, and ordered him to be dragged down together with Li Huan and Li Xian.
The people of Chang'an were tortured by Li Jue for so many days. Liu Zhang attacked the city without encountering any resistance. As for Li Jue's 20,000 troops, they surrendered en masse because there was no one to command them. Liu Zhang naturally recruited these 20,000 troops.
!Although Liu Zhang had hatred against Li Jue and Guo Si, he would never graft this hatred onto the people and soldiers.
After Chang'an was conquered, looking at the hungry and dying Chang'an people, Liu Zhang immediately ordered to distribute military rations to them. The people were extremely grateful to Liu Zhang for his kindness. However, Liu Zhang had no time to accept the people's gratitude at this time. He was sitting
Sitting on the dragon throne in Chang'an Palace, he was anxiously waiting for news from Jia Xu and others.
"Report" A primary school student rushed into the main hall and said: "Your Majesty! Mr. Jia is back!"
"Please come quickly!" Liu Zhang was waiting impatiently when Jia Xu arrived.
"See my lord!" Jia Xu led Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fei into the hall and bowed in salute.
Liu Zhang said anxiously: "Mr. Jia, stop being so polite! Where is Li Jue?"
"Brother, don't worry! Li Jue and his son have been caught!" Zhang Fei's loud voice shook the hall and there was a buzz.
"Okay! My great revenge has finally been avenged!" Liu Zhang said happily: "Yide, go to Yangping Pass quickly and bring my third brother Liu Mao. I will use Li Jue's family to sacrifice my two brothers alive!
"
"Yes!" Zhang Fei responded and turned around.
"Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu!" Liu Zhang shouted: "I order you two to gather the remaining soldiers of Xiliang, and divide the gathered troops into three groups according to age, one for those under eighteen years old, and one for those twenty-five years old.
Above, the third part is for people aged between eighteen and twenty-five! Do you understand?"
"The general will finally understand!" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu also followed the order and left.
Liu Zhang turned to Jia Xu, and Guo Jia smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, Chang'an is in ruins, and it depends on you!"
"I understand!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled. Although the literati looked down on each other, they also cherished each other. Especially people like Guo Jia who are aware of current affairs and people like Jia Xu who are good at protecting themselves. Cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will benefit both.
How could they not understand the principle of two evils?
Five days later, Zhang Fei finally picked up Liu Hao from Yangpingguan. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, Liu Hao made a fuss about getting off the bus. It turned out that the heads of Liu Dan and Liu Fan had not been removed and were still hanging.
At the gate of Chang'an City. After Liu Hao got off the bus, he kowtowed three times respectfully at the city gate, and then walked into Chang'an holding two dried heads.
When he saw the heads of his two brothers, Liu Zhang was so sad that he spat out a mouthful of hot blood. Everyone was so frightened that they quickly called the doctor. Fortunately, the doctor said that what Liu Zhang spat out was just blood congestion in his chest and it was nothing serious. Otherwise, no one would have known what to do.
What's better.
Funeral ceremonies were held for his two brothers first. Because of Liu Fan, the bodies of Liu Dan were thrown into mass graves and could not be found. Liu Zhang ordered someone to carve a body out of agarwood for the two brothers and connect them with the head.
Standing in front of the graves of Liu Fan and Liu Dan, Liu Zhang's mind went blank. Although he wanted to get to Yizhou, he didn't want anything to happen to his three brothers. But he knew that something would happen to his three brothers if they stayed in Chang'an, but he didn't do anything in time.
Liu Zhang was filled with guilt and his face was uncertain.
Seeing that Liu Zhang's expression was wrong, Liu Hao pushed him and said: "Fourth brother, everything is the choice of the two brothers. In fact, the two brothers had already had death aspirations a long time ago!"
"Third brother, don't comfort me!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "An ant lives in vain, how can it be like a human being?"
Liu Hao smiled and said: "Believe it or not! You can avenge the eldest brother and the second brother. They know each other under the spring, and they are already very happy! There is no resurrection after death, so be sorry! Fourth brother!"
"Yes!" Liu Zhang sneered: "All I can do now is to avenge my two brothers! Third brother, do you remember? I once said that I would make Li Jue and Guo Si into specimens! It's a pity.
Guo Si has been chopped into human sticks by me, and as for Li Jue, he chose to be chopped into pieces for himself! Today, I will use Li Jue’s family to sacrifice his two brothers alive!”
