The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 564: Soldiers Arrive at the Capital
Wei Qing's overall plan was correct, and all the controls were going in the direction he expected.

Today, more than two hundred dead soldiers have replaced the surrounding soldiers around Hulao Pass.

More than two hundred dead soldiers successfully blended into Chen Guan's change of defense. When the two hundred soldiers returned to the Chinese army after the change of defense, no one thought anything was wrong.

This is why troops who don't know each other live together.

Wei Qing was waiting for the opportunity, and these dead soldiers were also waiting for the opportunity. They were all waiting.

As long as Chen Guan dies, Wei Qing will invade.

Finally, one day in June of the second year of Zhenghe, a mutiny broke out in Chen Guan's army, and the coach Chen Guan was assassinated.

Suddenly the 200,000-strong army lost its backbone.

Without even having time to react, Wei Qing's army began to attack.

The red-coated cannon aimed at the opponent's Chinese army and began bombing. The timing came just right.

After the 200,000-strong army lost its organization, it began to disintegrate. After losing its backbone, the army began to lose its fighting spirit.

Immediately, Wei Qing began to mobilize his army to march forward, taking advantage of the chaos to kill them.

There is not much disparity in the strength of the two sides between an army of hundreds of thousands and an army of 200,000, but now the morale of the other side is low.

Once defeated, the opponent's morale will immediately fall into depression.

The battle gradually became one-sided. After Chen Guan died, the entire army was completely defeated.

This battle almost didn't take much time. There was a stalemate for three months in the early stage, and no one dared to take the initiative. Both sides were maintaining a delicate balance, and they didn't even test it.

Until Chen Guan was assassinated and died, everything changed!
Wei Qing's army was like a savage beast emerging from its cage. In just one day, it killed 20,000 of the opponent's troops and captured 30,000. The remaining opponent's troops quickly retreated towards Guanzhong.

Wei Qing did not stop. After taking Hulao Pass, he led his army to attack the pass, capturing and killing tens of thousands of people along the way.

After the remnant soldiers entered Guanzhong, the second line guarding Guanzhong was in panic.

Chen Guan is known as the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Han Dynasty. Who knew he would be defeated so tragically? The myth about Wei Qing's invincibility is still maintained.

The Han soldiers on the second line of defense did not dare to stay at the border of Guanzhong and began to return to Chang'an to defend.

Wei Qing's mobility was very fast. The forward troops only had more than 30,000 light cavalry, but they were actually chasing an army of nearly 300,000 people.

The Han's 300,000-strong army had long been defeated. At this time, they no longer knew what to do and were extremely frightened.

Most of these Guanzhong soldiers were under Wei Qing's command. How could they not know how powerful General Wei was? They were spreading the word to others, but they all began to lose heart. How could they maintain this war?

In less than half a month, 300,000 troops had entered Beijing and Fuzhou.

The news soon reached Weiyang Palace.

The Minister of War hurriedly entered the Weiyang Palace, and the six ministers from the three provinces also came towards the Weiyang Palace.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that Chen Guan had been assassinated, his eyes were about to split, and he said angrily: "Wei Qing! Such a despicable act!"

He couldn't believe that Wei Qing would actually use the method of assassinating such a villain, but his goal was actually achieved.

After Chen Guanyi's death, the entire frontline defense almost collapsed, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gritted his teeth.

Now he really has no manpower to use and has to play in person. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's face was twitching. He knew that it was time for a decisive battle. He looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said sternly: "Wei Qing, you are a traitor to the country!"

"Now that there is no retreat and no danger to defend, I am willing to go into battle. I want to see if the general Wei Qing, whom I personally trained, can subvert my country and the country with a fake prince?"

"You will follow me into the battlefield!"

All the officials hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Old ministers and others are willing to die!"

Expect you to die? You may have voted the moment you met Wei Qing. Don’t think that I don’t know what you think.

Your loyalty to me is based on the absolute safety of my country. My country is in danger. What is the difference between the surname Liu and the surname Wei in this world to you?
No difference!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said sternly: "No one can stop me!"

"I have made up my mind. You will be ready when you return. No matter whether it is civil or military, follow me to protect Chang'an!"

"The Ministry of Rites opens the altar. I will personally offer sacrifices to Sheji tomorrow. If I die in the battle, the second prince Liu Que will be crowned the king until the last person is killed in the battle in Chang'an!"

When Liu Que heard this, his two limbs trembled. It would be better for him to ascend the throne at this time than to just let him die. He hurriedly said: "Father... a son and a minister are not as good as the third brother."

Liu Dan quickly said: "Second brother, please don't refuse!"

The two brothers, Xunri, are both greedy for the throne. Until now, no one dares to take this hot potato.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at his two useless sons and did not want to say anything more for a while, and left the Qilin Hall with his hands behind his back.

When he returned to Jiaofang Hall, he saw Wei Zifu's tablet and said to himself: "Zifu, your brother really hates me to the core of his bones."

"He doesn't hesitate to use the tactics of a villain on the battlefield to kill Chang'an. Is he avenging you? Or is he avenging his nephew?"

"I never thought that the big man I have managed my whole life would become like this when I am old."

"I didn't expect that the cavalry slave I personally trained and I gave him a high official and a generous salary would meet me in battle!"

"He led troops to Chang'an. You Wei family are really talented. If I had dealt with Wei Qing earlier, why would this have happened?"

"The biggest mistake I made in my life was to be too kind to your Wei family, but even so, he was still ungrateful."

"There will always be a time when we meet again. I want to see what Wei Qing uses to attack Chang'an."

"I want to see which so-called prince he brought with him to attack me?"

"Don't I know my own son?!"

……

Tian Qianqiu and Liu Quya sat blankly in the government office. No one expected that things would develop so fast. After Wei Qing left South Vietnam, everything went smoothly. In just half a year, all the land in the south fell into Wei Qing's hands. He could have drawn a river to rule in the south, but Wei Qing had no such plan at all. Instead, he chose to attack Chang'an directly in one go.

This is Wei Qing!
His military strength is too strong. The Han army is basically composed of Wei Qing's people. It is very difficult to contain Wei Qing.

But there is still something Tian Qianqiu doesn't understand. Wei Qing's rebellion is untenable at all. What will happen even if he wins? He is still not orthodox.

More people will rebel in the future, so what is the significance of him getting this throne?

Liu Quyou smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you still thinking about this now? Chang'an is in danger, so prepare to meet the enemy early. Whether the big man can survive this test will be known soon!"
