This is also the sorrow of smart Chinese people! They spoke of benevolence and righteousness during foreign wars, but in civil wars, they were particularly bloody and cruel in the face of the same tribe. Every time the world is in chaos, the population in the country will be reduced by half!

During the ancient cold weapon war, 80% of the casualties were caused by defeating the opponent's pursuit! The Battle of Weinan was at this stage. Ten divisions of Guanzhong were completely defeated, and 50,000 or 60,000 infantry in the central army fled all over the mountains and fields. The left army paid a price of thousands of blood to resist Xu Huang's entire army charge. With his remaining thousands of subordinates, Ma Chao also ran north desperately.

The first to weaken the remaining power of the Guanzhong warlords to the greatest extent, and for the sake of his first military merit, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Zhao Yan and Yin's troops all rushed forward like mad dogs, especially the tiger and leopard cavalry. This formation turned into Shura under the afterglow of the sunset, and crushed the flesh and blood in the crowd one by one.

However, although the troops under General Cao had already won a great victory, the one that advanced and pursued the fastest is Wang Hou's left army.

Because the central army was still in a desperate battle to defeat, the Guanzhong Right Army opposite had been taken down by Wang Hou, a guy who was talking to him.

Under the night, tens of thousands of Guanzhong troops ran wildly towards the northwest with grinning. The two cavalry were also running side by side with their wings, and behind them, a Liaodong infantry ran panting.

What made these Northwest Army even speechless was that as they ran, Liaodong men rushed to them from time to time. They patted their shoulders, who were about to run away with a relaxed look, and asked seriously.

"Brother, you can't do it! Even I can't run away, how can I run away!"

I'm running away from your mother's legs, can I not escape?

He couldn't even run away, and a group of Northwest soldiers were so ashamed that they were so excited that they were ashamed.

However, they didn't know that these Liaodong soldiers went out for five kilometers every morning, and had a day off for one day. Others took a bath and rested. They had to take a 20-kilometer fully armed off-road training for another 100 kilometers a year. They usually had better food, milk, meat and eggs than landlords. If they really had to run away, some Liaodong infantry didn't even take cavalry seriously. It would be strange if they could run away!

As for why a large group of young people run in the afterglow of the sunset, it is just for one word.

Chang'an!

Wang Hou of Xi'an, who was later, has been to Chang'an in this era, but he has not been to Chang'an in this era! The Western Capital of the Han Dynasty, the node of the Silk Road, the heart of the Han Empire, every noun is full of emotions. Even if there is no feelings, how much wealth, rice and grain does Chang'an in the core of Guanzhong have? How much population and household registration does it have? Don't you take this opportunity to collect it? Is it right for him, Wang Hou, the nickname of Wang Tiangao?

Although his stomach was about to sag, Wang Hou's eyes were still bright while riding on the chariot pulled by the eight horses.

Chang'an of Han! I am asking for help from Wang Tu!

…………

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After more than three hours of panting, the Liaodong Army was the first unit to fight to the city of Chang'an, but Wang Hou couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Han Chang'an in the night.

"That's it? Is this Chang'an City?"

The city walls and gatehouses made of yellow rammed earth should have been very tall! The idea! It was once! The historical record of Emperor Wu of Han who had twelve meters of rammed earth walls left was more than six meters. The collapsed on both sides became large mounds of soil, and there were also the typical Qin and Han high lofts. The two of them fell together in a tilt, but at least they supported each other and did not fall all of them.

This place is barely better than the archaeological site. This appearance in the outer city made Wang Hou feel a little cold.

"Go back to General Zhenbei, this is Chang'an City!" Wonderful

He was brought over by the former army. A great general could not escape the soldier. He was so tired that he was breathing. However, listening to Wang Hou's question, the candidate immediately nodded and bowed without the dignity of the warlords.

"General Zhenbei doesn't need to worry. This is just an outer city. It's normal to lose something. As long as you enter the city, it's different. As long as you arrive at Baqiao, you can see my Han Chang'an City. It's even more broken than the outer city!"

"Forehead……"

This candidate is not bragging at all! The outer city is broken enough, and when you enter the city wall, you follow the ghost city. The civilians along the way live in the twelve outer cities, just like ghost towns. There are even foxes and weasels on the streets, directly chasing rats through the moss and weeds to the streets.

On both sides of the road, the low houses were like shanty towns that had been completely empty before demolition. Most of the tiles on the roof fell off and the windows were empty. And it was only about 6:30 now. The entire Chang'an City on the original was pitch black and there were no lights. Even if he brought more than 30,000 people into the city and walked on the empty streets where weeds were reborn, the feeling of silence still made Wang Hou's back furrow.

As for the Weiyang Palace, Jianzhang Palace and other areas farther away, the night is lying on the edges, and the darkness is like a scene in a horror movie.

While walking, the candidate explained in disappointment.

"Originally, after Guangwu Zhongxing moved its capital to Luoyang, Chang'an City has been getting worse every day! The palace has been disrepaired, and the people can still live a life of the outside world. There are some Western Regions barbarians who can bring some silver and taxes. More than ten years ago, Wang Yun, who killed Lu Bu, hooked up with a bastard Lu Bu and killed Tai Shi Dong, but he still couldn't control the situation. He fought with Li Jue and Guo Si in the city. The only good place left was also abandoned!"

"Well, General Zhenbei, the first to rush into Chang'an City, does the Prime Minister have any special rewards? If not, you probably came in vain!"

In fact, the decline of Chang'an City was a foregone conclusion since the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow Army entered Guanzhong at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and killed Wang Mang and burned Chang'an City. Liu Xiu was indeed a member of the Liu family, but most of the supporters were the Guandong clans. In order not to show the situation of supporting Guanxi, Liu Xiu established the capital of Luoyang and did not come here to live. Since the Jianzhang Palace built by Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Wu of Han over the years, it has naturally stopped repairing the Weiyang Palace, which was burned to death, and the burned small half of the palace was decayed.

Even when Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and brought Emperor Xian of Han back to Chang'an City, Emperor Xian of Han slept for many days without a roof.

Moreover, Chang'an was embarrassed and had no oil and water, and the candidate was really not blind. Li Jue and Guo Si made a fuss and killed Wang Yun and went their separate ways. The remaining wealth in Chang'an City was scraped by several warlords in Guanzhong.

Moreover, although Chang'an is depressed and dilapidated, its political importance is too conspicuous. He dare not occupy Chang'an so much as to manage it. The ten divisions of the Guanxi Allied Forces only cut off a piece of land in each county in Guanzhong to serve as the local emperor. In the past ten years, Chang'an City has become a dislike for thousands of people.

The agricultural society, with such a huge city, not only needs to have a developed farmland water conservancy system around it, but also needs a strong regime to guard it. Now, the residents living in Chang'an City are not even enough to eat, and of course they can't stay there, so they slowly moved out.

"Are you still marching inward? General?"

With such a decayed look, even Wei Yan from a small place was unwilling to leave, and asked with his fists beside Wang Hou.

Many Chinese in later generations still had a Chang'an plot in their hearts. After all, in that era, China was the most brilliant and powerful country in world history, and Chang'an also had a strong romantic and mysterious color. But now, Wang Hou is excited and sees a shantytown reconstruction area. The feeling in his heart can be imagined.

"I won't go into the city anymore. The back team will become the front team and push it to the plains outside Tuqiu City to camp!"

He said something disappointed, but after a moment, Wang Hou's eyes stared at the two surrendered generals Cheng Yin like Grandet again.

"Precautions for you! This is my only spoil! I dare to run away, I will sell you two to Thailand as shemale!"

Although I don’t know where Thailand is and what a shemale is, looking at Wang Hou’s murderous eyes, it is obviously not a good place to go. The two generals shivered and nodded and said.

"Subordinate to obey the order!"
