Chapter 2499: Dingding Guanzhong (End)

After Li Mu and Yang Jian surrendered, Li Jing left Fu Cun Shen's troops to guard Baling, took over the surrender, and then took all his troops straight to Chang'an.

 Two days later, 130,000 Qin troops arrived in Chang'an.

Li Jing, Wu Qi and others went straight to the palace and treasury, while Li Mu, Yang Jian and other descended generals also went back to each house to check the situation and see if their relatives were still there.

Li Mu was lucky. He had not yet married and had children. He only had an old mother at home, and he was lucky enough to escape.

After hearing what happened in Chang'an again from his mother, Li Mu felt dizzy and couldn't believe that Li Shimin was responsible for all this.

“Son, you can’t make any more mistakes.”

Mother Li grabbed Li Mu's arm and warned her.

Li Mu repeatedly reassured his mother that Li would let go, and then took Li Zuoche and strolled through the streets of Chang'an.

Under the governance of Wang Jian and Ban Chao, the thugs and rebels in Chang'an were wiped out and the peace of the past was restored. However, the trauma after the war was difficult to heal.

 In the Chang'an tragedy, all the aristocratic families were slaughtered, and many ordinary people were also affected.

The Tang armies fought internally and fought against each other, which also caused a large number of people to die in vain.

Chang'an, which experienced two consecutive turmoils, directly lost hundreds of thousands of people, so much so that one-third of the families now wear sackcloth and mourning.

The people's cries continued all day long, and the voices of angry curses against Li Shimin were even more frequent.

“Are the people of the world more crazy than Dong Zhuo?”

After seeing this tragic scene, Li Mu's face turned pale. Now he finally understood why Li Maozhen, Hua Xiong, Li Jue and others rebelled.

If he had known what Li Shimin had done, he would definitely have rebelled. After all, what Li Shimin had done was no less generous than Dong Zhuo, and continuing to help him would really be aiding the evildoer.

With this thought, Li Mu put aside the last grudge in his heart and decided to serve the Qin Dynasty wholeheartedly from now on, but he didn't know whether the Qin Dynasty and the people would accept him as a surrendered general of the Li Tang clan.

On the other side, Yang Ren also accompanied Lei Zhenzi. The two of them visited Chang'an City together, but the news they got was all heart-wrenching.

Yang Ren was heartbroken because the Yuqing sect didn't know people well and was deceived by Li Shimin. He had been helping such a man with a beastly heart, and even harmed his beloved Uncle Jiang.

Jiang Ziya's body, Yang Renlei Zhenzi and other Yuqing disciples have also been inspected.

The sword wound was pierced from the back, and the sword penetrated the chest. Jiang Ziya had no defense, and there was still Longquan sword energy in the wound. There was no one else except Li Shimin.

This news also made all Yuqing disciples furious, especially Jiang Shang's disciples Long Xuhu and Wu Ji. Li Shimin actually killed the master who came to save him.

Wu Ji was so sad and angry that he even thought of committing suicide. He believed that he had killed his master.

If it weren't for the fact that he served Li Tang and he kept begging, the master might not have gone through this troubled water, but he didn't expect that the master would die at the hands of Li Shimin.

As soon as he thought about this, Wu Ji was filled with grief, anger, and regret, and he also took the opportunity to die to apologize. If Yang Ren hadn't discovered it in time and took action, Wu Ji might have actually committed suicide.

Yang Ren looked at Lei Zhenzi and said: "Junior brother Lei Zhenzi, it seems that both the sect and us are probably wrong.

Da Qin is the righteous party, but we have been helping the evil tyrants and harming the world.

Senior brother knows that you have always been grudged against Great Qin because of Uncle Yun Zhongzi's hatred, but your hatred will only make you sink deeper and deeper.

Listen to my senior brother’s advice, it’s time to let go of your hatred. My uncle, he is alive in heaven, so he will definitely feel relieved. "

After hearing this, Lei Zhenzi's face instantly became extremely ugly. After struggling in his heart, he forced a smile and said: "Junior brother has surrendered to Qin, so he will naturally let go of his hatred."

 After saying that, he didn’t even move his head.

Looking at Lei Zhenzi's leaving figure, Yang Ren couldn't help but feel a little worried. He could feel that Lei Zhenzi had not given up his hatred. The reason why he followed the trend and surrendered to Qin was simply because the general trend could not be stopped.

“Junior brother, I hope you can get out of here. We, senior brothers, really don’t want to be enemies with you.”

Yang Ren sighed lightly, and then strode towards Yang's Mansion.

The thing that worries Yang Ren the most now is not Lei Zhenzi, but Yang Jian.

The relationship between Yang Jian and Li Shimin was that of a monarch and a minister, as well as relatives and friends. Therefore, after returning home, he once again learned from his sister Yang Chan in the hospital bed that the entire Yang family was destroyed, his brother-in-law died tragically, and other bad news, all because of Li Shimin's time. The blow to Yang Jian was really too big.

Yang Jian also believed that it was his fault. He did not misunderstand Li Shimin, which caused all this.

If he hadn't served Li Tang, there wouldn't have been so many Yuqing disciples coming down to help Tang, and naturally there wouldn't have been so many brothers who had sacrificed their lives, so it was all his fault.

Although Yang Jian didn't seek death like Wu Ji, he was much closer. After all, there is no greater sorrow than death of the heart.

At this time, Yang Jian seemed to have lost his soul, leaving only a skin. He was like a walking corpse. No matter how much Yang Ren tried to enlighten him, he could not get out.

"well."

Yang Ren sighed and left the Yang Mansion. Yang Jian's problem was a heart disease, and he had no way to solve it. He had to rely on himself.

Soon after Yang Ren left, Li Jing took Li Cunxiao and Sun Lingming to Yang Mansion to visit Yang Jian in person, and wanted to ask Yang Jian to help persuade the captured Kang Anyu to surrender.

 Knowing that his sworn brother was still alive, Yang Jian naturally agreed directly and went directly to the prisoner of war camp to persuade him to surrender.

Seeing Yang Jian's decisive promise, Li Jing didn't see anything wrong with Yang Jian, but Li Cunxiao and Sun Lingming did.

At this time, Yang Jian no longer had the vigor he had before, and there was a sense of twilight all over his body, and he didn't look like a person at all compared to before.

Sun Lingming wanted to catch up and say something to Yang Jian, but was stopped by Li Cunxiao.

 “For us outsiders who are harmonious, anything we say is superfluous,” Li Cunxiao said.

Sun Lingming was startled, then nodded, then walked to Chen Xiang in front of the hospital bed and said with a smile: "Boy, please enlighten your uncle more in the future. There are not many people who can make him listen now."

 Chen Xiang turned her head to the side and said angrily: "I don't want it. If he hadn't misjudged the person, how could dad and grandpa die? I hate Yang Jian so much."

“Hey, you kid, you still hold grudges against your own uncle. Let’s do this. This time, let’s treat it as if I’m begging you. As long as you do this favor for me, how about I teach you a unique magical skill?

I am not bragging to you, and your uncle is no match for me. If you learn my skills, you will definitely be able to surpass your uncle in the future. "

Hearing Sun Lingming's words, Xiao Chenxiang's big and lively eyes turned around, obviously feeling a little moved.

“I didn’t forgive Yang Jian for the sake of my magical skills, but you and your uncle are not relatives, why do you want to help him like this?” Chen Xiang asked in confusion.

Sun Lingming touched Chen Xiang's little head and said with a smile: "He is an opponent that I, Old Sun, recognize. When you grow up, you will understand that this is a sympathy that only exists between men."

On the other side, under Yang Jian's persuasion, Kang Anyu, who was at the peak of his powers, and Kang Junli, who was also implanted as his younger brother, both decisively chose to surrender. In addition, Hua Xiong also persuaded general Xu Rong, who was also from the Liang clan, to surrender;

 Li Maozhen persuaded Xin Wenli, Guo Chongtao and Li Yu to surrender;

 Sun Chongjin and Fu Cunshen worked together to persuade Li Siben, who was also the Thirteen Taibao, to surrender;

  【Ding dong, the ‘Second Battle of Guanzhong’ is over and the inventory begins…

The ‘Second Battle of Guanzhong’ lasted twenty-two days in total, starting from Gongsun Xuanyuan’s surprise attack on Chencang and ending with the surrender of Li Mu’s army, including:

 Surprise attack on Chencang: Kill 0 enemies and capture 5,000 prisoners;

 Surprise attack at Sanguan: kill 4,000 enemies, capture 8,000, and suffer 1,000 losses;

 …

The battle at Wuzhangyuan: kill five hundred enemies and injure one thousand and fifty;

The battle against Ba Ling: Killed one thousand and five enemies and suffered six hundred losses;

 Battle against Quyoucheng: 1,000 prisoners;

 …

The Battle of Haojing: 20,000 enemies were killed, 25,000 were captured, and 9,000 were lost;

The Battle of Chang'an: 8,000 enemies were killed, 15,000 were captured, and 10,500 were lost;

 Ba Ling offensive and defensive battle: kill ten thousand enemies, capture eight thousand, and lose twenty thousand;

 According to statistics, the "Second Battle of Guanzhong" killed a total of 50,000 enemies, captured 85,000 prisoners, and suffered 52,000 self-loss losses (of which 30,000 troops were surrendered). After deducting casualties, a total of 830 summoning points were awarded.

The current host currently has a total of 7905 summoning points. 】

【Dingdong, the ‘Second Guanzhong War’ involved 300,000 people, which reached the battle standard of 200,000, and achieved: 50,000 enemy annihilated, 85,000 captured, and 52,000 self-inflicted losses;

 The battle loss ratio in this battle is 1:1, score: C, reward: 50 summoning points.

The current host currently has a total of 7955 summoning points. 】

In the second battle of Guanzhong, the Qin army mobilized seven armies and dispatched 170,000 troops. However, only 70,000 troops actually fought against the Tang army. It only took 22 days to defeat Li Tang's 135,000 army ( Including fifteen thousand recruits).

  Such a record is not unsatisfactory, but it has achieved the lowest battle rating so far.

The number of casualties suffered by the Qin army in this battle was not many, only 20,000, but the number of casualties suffered by the surrendered army was not small.

 If the surrendered army then joins the battle, the casualties will also be counted among the casualties of the Qin army, and this will naturally reduce the proportion of battle losses.

This time's system battle rating, Qin Jun only received a C grade. With such a low rating, the rewards were naturally the lowest in history.

 There is not even a summoning card, only 50 summoning points.

But it doesn’t matter. For Ying Hao, occupying Guanzhong and occupying all the seven counties under Si Li is already the best reward.

What's more, in addition to the base and population, there are also the surrendered and captured General Li Tang, as well as the huge wealth captured from Chang'an.

There were quite a few Tang generals who surrendered during this attack on the Tang Dynasty, including: Sun Chongjin, Long Xuhu, Ma Shanwei, Tu Xingsun, Li Maozhen, Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Li Mu, Yang Jian, Li Zuoche, Wu Ji, Yang Ren, Lei Zhen Thirty-six generals including Zi, Kang Anyu, Kang Junli, Xu Rong, Li Siben, Li Yu... surrendered.

 This includes one super general, five war gods, and one famous general with a command of 100.

To put it bluntly, the lineup of these surrendered generals alone is enough to support a country.

As for the Tang generals who were killed by the Qin army, statistics include: Wang Shi, Wang Xiang, Li Li, Gao Sixiang, Lu Yue, Chen Geng, Li Ping, Zhou Xin, Li Qi, Zhu Tianlin, Yang Wenhui, Zhu Youqian, More than 80 people including Ji Shuqian, Ji Shukun, Ji Shuming, Ji Shusheng, Ji Shude, Cao Bao, Shang Shitu, Wei Hu, Li Chunfeng, Li Shimin, etc.;

 Those who have not surrendered after being captured include: Changsun Wuji, Shi Jingsi, Nangong Shi, Yin Kaishan, and Li Kui;

I have to say that although Li Tang's national power is not strong, its talent base is really rich. It can be said that it is second only to Great Qin.

In a word, in this battle, although the Tang State was not yet destroyed, it had already shaken the foundation of the country, and the Qin army made a lot of money.

[Ding dong, Da Qin has completely occupied the three counties of Guanzhong, and completely occupied 7 counties and 116 counties of Sili Prefecture, one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Reward: a golden summoning card, 1 random attribute point;

The current host has: 1 gold summoning card, 1 silver upgrade card, 5 100,000 population summoning cards, and 1 random attribute point;

 Have summoning points: 7955 points;】

 “Now Sili Prefecture is finally unified.”

 While muttering to himself, Ying Hao turned on the world map function and clicked on Si Li's position.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　logue

 Belongs to: Qin

 Subordinate jurisdiction: Sizhou (Henan, Hanoi, Hedong, Hongnong), Yongzhou (Jingzhao, Fengyi, Fufeng)

 Population: 7.06 million

Garrison: 250,000 (160,000 infantry, 40,000 cavalry, 50,000 surrender troops)]

 Before the start of the Second Guanzhong War, Li and Tang Dynasties had ten and a half counties, with a total population of 2.68 million.

Among the ten and a half counties of Li and Tang, Yongzhou is the most prosperous area. Just one and a half counties of Guanzhong alone has a population of 1.55 million, accounting for more than half of the country's total population.

 Although the Second Guanzhong War went quickly, many people died.

Nearly 100,000 people died in the Chang'an tragedy alone. The subsequent internal strife in Li and Tang Dynasties and a series of battles outside Chang'an also caused varying degrees of damage to Guanzhong.

 Nowadays, the total population of the one and a half county where Li Tang is located has dropped from 1.55 million to 1.37 million.

 In less than a month, nearly 170,000 people died in this war.

With the loss of one and a half counties in Guanzhong, although Li Tang still had nine counties, it lost more than 1.5 million people, and more than half of the country's total population was directly cut off.

Although the remaining nine counties are large, their total population is only 1.13 million, and most of them are barren lands. It may be difficult to support an army of 100,000 people.

Moreover, in the Battle of Guanzhong, Li Tang lost more than one and a half counties, 130,000 troops, three-quarters of the top generals, and the monarch Li Shimin.

The Tang Dynasty only existed because of Li Shimin. Now that even Li Shimin is gone, it may be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to survive even if it wants to survive.

The Tang State was caught between the Qin, Shu, and Sui Kingdoms, but it was so weak that it could not even protect itself. Will the tigers, leopards, and wolves around it give it a chance to breathe?

Ying Hao doesn't think so. After all, with Liu Yu's cautious personality, it is unlikely that he will support the remnants of Li Tang to continue to fight against Qin. Instead, he will directly annex Hanzhong. After all, the Shu army has already entered Hanzhong, and now the three counties of Hanzhong are The fat on the lips of Shu County.

At this thought, Ying Hao felt that he had made a big loss. After all, he sent 170,000 troops to defeat Li Shimin with great difficulty, and only gained one and a half counties. Liu Yu could probably capture the three counties of Hanzhong without spending a single soldier. .

This is a bit too cheap Liu Yu.

"If Liu Yu really wants to annex the three counties of Hanzhong, then I, Da Qin, must also capture the three counties of Longxi. Otherwise, the land of these three counties will either be advantageous to Liu Yu or Yang Guang." Ying Hao muttered to himself.

 All in all, it is not Ying Hao but Liu Yu who determines whether Li Tang can survive.

If Liu Yu had not annexed Hanzhong, Li Tang could still exist as a shield.

 But if he decided to annex Hanzhong, Li Tang would definitely be destroyed.

 There was a time when the Tang State was the overlord of Guanxi with an army of 300,000 and spread across three states. It defeated the Sui Dynasty, suppressed Shu, and destroyed the Qiang. Its country was so powerful and its troops were so powerful that even the Qin Dynasty had to face it.

 But what about now?

 However, they have fallen into a situation where they cannot even control the survival of their own country.

 It really makes people sigh at the impermanence of things in the world.
