Chapter 336
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of arrows coming was endless.
Many people appeared on the roofs and walls on both sides of the road, shooting crossbow arrows madly toward this side!
Arrows were coming from all directions!
"Not good, it's an ambush!"
"Ah!"
Many Xiliang soldiers screamed and fell from their horses!
The arrows didn't stop, but instead became more numerous.
The soldiers on the roofs were all Liu Bei's personal guards, equipped with a thousand heavy crossbows captured from Yuan Shao; today they were all arranged for these rebel soldiers!
Not long after,
more than two thousand corpses lay on the street, and many of the remaining Xiliang soldiers were hit by arrows, bleeding while madly whipping their horses!
At this time, their only thought was to escape!
"Rebel soldiers, don't run!"
"Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!"
A team of elite cavalry rushed out from the corner of the street, led by Guan Yu holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade!
"Kill!"
"Duan Wei, die!"
The Red Hare horse neighed softly, fast as lightning, carrying Guan Yu into the enemy formation.
Under a flash of blade light,
Duan Wei only felt a flash before his eyes, and then it went black!
His head leaped high!
Guan Yu didn't stop and continuously slashed two more colonels to death, like a god of slaughter in the darkness!
The Xiliang rebel soldiers were terrified and didn't dare to resist, turning their horses around to flee one after another.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Another round of arrow rain, and of the five thousand cavalry brought by Duan Wei, only a few hundred remnants remained.
Soon,
these remnants were all killed!
At the same time, in the military camp in the city, Ju Yi's Vanguard Camp made the Xiliang cavalry suffer enough!
Zhang Liao also defeated the Xiliang rebel soldiers who came to sneak attack!
At this time, the city gates were also wide open.
Zhang Fei, Xu Sheng, and Taishi Ci each led a cavalry team to kill the rebellious Xiliang army one after another!
The entire Chang'an City was filled with sounds of killing and screaming!
Many people in Chang'an hid under their beds and trembled.
Former Prime Minister's mansion,
the health-preserving Jia Xu was seriously practicing the breathing and absorption technique.
"My lord, this breathing technique is truly magical; my body is getting better and better."
The laid-back Guo Jia curled his lips,
"I say Jia Wenhe, you don't take concubines, why do you practice your body so well!"
Jia Xu didn't care,
"Fengxiao, life has many pursuits; living long is also a kind of pursuit."
Liu Bei laughed, "Two life attitudes, both can be understood."
Jia Xu cupped his hands,
"My lord, after this battle, the hidden danger of the Xiliang soldiers has been thoroughly eliminated."
Liu Bei nodded,
"Fifty thousand Xiliang soldiers, this time at least twenty thousand were lost, but it was worth it; it's better than guarding against them every day. The others will be distributed to other troops."
"Chen Dao!"
"The subordinate is here!"
"You take men to maintain the security of Chang'an City; kill anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to plunder!"
"Understood!"
This night, although the sounds of killing in the second half of the night were much less, everyone didn't dare to sleep.
The next morning, the sky cleared up.
The people of Chang'an carefully poked their heads out from the big gates.
They didn't find the Xiliang soldiers arrogantly galloping on horses,
but instead teams maintaining security.
"Lord Xuande has won a great victory!"
"What's the situation?"
"Duan Wei led eighteen thousand Xiliang soldiers to rebel, but Lord Xuande had long laid an ambush and defeated the rebel army."
"Duan Wei was killed by Guan Yu with one blade, and his head flew more than ten meters away!"
"All the Xiliang soldiers who participated in the rebellion were killed!"
"Now they are still burning corpses outside the city!"
"Miss Fu Shou was willing to act as bait, clearly she is infatuated with Lord Xuande."
Soon, everyone saw the notice, the general idea being that the rebel army had been wiped out, and everyone could live with peace of mind!
The security of Chang'an City instantly improved a lot.
As Liu Bei's troops arrived in Chang'an City,
the remaining thirty thousand Xiliang soldiers who didn't participate in the rebellion were broken up and integrated into the various teams.
Next was the big move.
Liu Bei's General of the Cavalry mansion and family,
and the families of his subordinates all moved to Chang'an City.
Over 1.7 million people moved from the crowded Bingzhou to live in Jingzhao, and another batch of people would migrate over later.
Feng Yi Commandery, Fufeng Commandery, and Chang'an instantly became lively.
Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to guard Taiyuan Commandery and Shangdang Commandery to guard against Yuan Shao of Jizhou, with Xu Shu, Wang Ling, Guanqiu Jian, Hao Zhao, and others assisting.
Xu Rong and Yu Du continued to be responsible for the defense of the border between Hedong and Henei.
Zhao Yun expanded his army by five thousand, leading twenty-five thousand troops to continue guarding Yanmen Commandery, responsible for protecting the stability of northern Bingzhou, with Guo Huai, Liu Pi, and others assisting.
The remaining generals and troops headed to Jingzhao, distributed in the Chang'an, Fufeng, and Feng Yi areas.
Thus, Liu Bei controlled most of Bingzhou and Jingzhao, with a population of over seven million and sixteen thousand troops; his army was strong and his horses were sturdy!
Most of the Taiyuan Academy also moved to Chang'an, leaving behind a branch academy to continue cultivating talent.
Luoyang City,
everyone was still arguing endlessly about who should be the Emperor,
and after arguing, they continued to drink.
Cao Cao was already tired of it and intended to return to Yanzhou to engage in his career.
Yuan Shu was in a hurry to return to support the Prince of Jiujiang as Emperor, taking an important step toward his own enthronement.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both waiting for news from Chang'an.
Before, Liu Bei took Chang'an without bloodshed, which had made them sour for several days.
Yuan Shu also received news,
"I heard Liu Bei is implementing benevolent governance in Chang'an, and the Xiliang soldiers are very dissatisfied."
Lu Bu took up the conversation,
"Xiliang soldiers are not weak; I fought hard to escape Chang'an."
"Liu Bei doesn't understand the habits of Xiliang soldiers at all; wanting them to listen obediently is impossible."
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other.
