Final Chapter: The Next Day

Here, Tang Emperor Wenhan successfully turned the tide with the help of gunpowder and defeated nearly one million Wei troops. Among them, there were nearly hundreds of thousands of people who were burned by the fire, and there were also hundreds of thousands of people who were captured. The tragedy of this battle can be said to be unique throughout the ages. The fire after the tiger prison burned for half a month. It was originally a green mountain, but it has become a desolate place where no grass grows. And there are countless Wei people who died among them. More than ten years later, many Taoists in later generations passed through here, saying that this place is full of ghosts and grievances, and it is a place of great murder. Of course, these are all later words.

Moreover, when Cao Cao, the emperor of Wei, was defeated, Jia Xu, the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, left a soldier and horse to guard the tiger's prison gate and clean up the remnants to block the momentum of the Western Tang Dynasty. Subsequently, Jia Xu led his troops and immediately looked at Luoyang to withdraw in case of the upcoming chaos. On the way home, I saw that more than 100,000 Wei soldiers collapsed into an army, all of whom were uneasy, with fear on their faces. The scene of destruction of the world kept echoing in everyone's minds. There are many rumors in the army that Emperor Wen Han of the Tang Dynasty is the true son of heaven and is helped by heaven, so he can have such a magic power to manipulate thunder and fire. These defeated soldiers have lost the will to fight, let alone the heart to fight. At this time, Cao Cao was seriously ill and urgently summoned Jia Xu and Cao Zhang to see him.

"I'm a soldier... a lifetime of war, killing and abusing... countless, in the past... The world.. Lords, many defeats... to me... Hands, I'm always... What a bey.. The land,fa... Others.. The country. Today.. It's done... It's defeated... It's all for heaven... It's fate... I have many sons under my knees, only two sons, Pi... Three sons... There is the wind of the emperor... If the Great Wei... Occupy... the general trend... The second son Pi will definitely be able to... be a wise king... but now the State of Wei... If it is not guaranteed, it will survive... It is critical... Autumn, the third son shows the spleen... boldness, a hundred folds... Unyielding, although in the early years... things are impatient... There is a lack of stability, but now... for many years... Grinding, it has become a big... The weapon can follow the throne of my... for one... The king of the country, to block... Xitang.. Invasion!"

After Cao Cao finished his words, he roared and must be cut off for a moment. Jia Xu and Cao Zhang cried bitterly. The soldiers heard the sad cry. They all guessed that Emperor Wei had died and cried one after another. Soon, more than 100,000 soldiers cried bitterly, and the cry spread within tens of miles.

Half a month after the death of Cao Cao, the emperor of Wei, Wenhan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, led hundreds of thousands of troops to break through the Hu Prison Pass and capture tens of thousands of remnants. Wen Han attacked all the way. Within a month, he attacked the city and pulled out the fortress, went straight to Huanglong, and killed Luoyang, the capital of Wei. Jia Xu, the prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, led hundreds of civil and military officials, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the imperial capital. During this time, Wen Han transferred hundreds of thunder cannons from the Xitang River. So Wen Han first attacked with thunder cannons overnight and broke through his city. In half a month, the city of Luoyang was completely destroyed, and Jia Xu ordered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to support Cao Zhang to escape. Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops attacked Luoyang, and Jia Xu Ning died unyielding and killed himself. Hua Xin, the lieutenant of the Great Wei Dynasty, led a group of Wen Wu to surrender to the Western Tang Dynasty.

On the other side, Cao Pi guarded Jingzhou. He heard that the million troops under his father's command were defeated at the Hu Prison Pass and died on the way to withdraw. He was shocked and immediately recruited troops to help Luoyang. Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Pi left, he listened to the detailed report, and Luoyang was lost. Prime Minister Jia Xu killed himself. Lieutenant Hua Xin led hundreds of officials in the court to join the Western Tang Dynasty. Only three princes Cao Zhang led tens of thousands of soldiers to break through the siege and were coming to Jingzhou. When Cao Pi heard the news, he was both stunned and sad, and urgently taught his subordinates to go to pick him up. At this time, Cao Pi's officials advised Cao Pi to beware of Cao Zhang. The former emperor died and the throne was not established. If Cao Zhang intends to seize the throne, what can he do? Cao Pi did not know that Cao Cao made a will when he was about to die, and he taught Cao Zhang to inherit the throne. Cao Pi was originally the crown prince and should have inherited the throne. This time, when he heard the officials under his command, he was inevitably afraid, so he taught the troops to ambush in the city and try first. If Cao Zhang wants to fight for the throne, he can only die.

Three years of Changwu, March. Cao Zhang led his troops to Xiangyang, but he expected that his second brother Cao Pi would not be easily compatible, so he came to the outside of the city to see Cao Pi alone. Cao Pi saw that Cao Zhang did not lead the army, so he was relieved and went out of the city to see Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang knelt on the ground and cried. He said that the pain of losing his father was the difficulty of breaking the country. When Cao Pi heard this, he also burst into tears. Cao Zhang then said that he was willing to take him as emperor and try his best to help each other. It turned out that Cao Zhang knew that Cao Pi was ambitious and ambitious, and never wanted to live under others. If the brothers fight each other and this is in a precarious situation, it will not take long for the Great Wei to be swallowed up by the Western Tang Dynasty. Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he made Cao Zhang the king of Jin. His subordinates received rewards one by one, collected Cao Zhang's soldiers and horses, and had hundreds of thousands of troops to guard Xiangyang.

At the same time, in the land of Wubei. However, Zhang Jie heard that Cao Cao, the emperor of Wei, had died, and Luoyang lost his defense. He was so angry that he wanted to rise up and rushed to Jingzhou to resist hundreds of thousands of Western Tang troops. Sima Yi persuaded Zhang Jian to move his troops first, and beware of Pang De's sending troops from Wu Nan to invade Wu Bei. Cao Cao was kind to Zhang Jian, so Zhang Jian was also loyal to the Great Wei. At present, regardless of Sima Yi's advice, he raised 80,000 troops and eagerly hoped that Jingzhou should rush away. Sima Yi led 20,000 soldiers to guard all the key points and guarded against the Wu Nantang army.

The third year of Changwu, May. Emperor Wenhan of Tang has settled to appease the people in Luoyang, and the situation is slightly stable. It was rumored that when Cao Cao died of illness, Wen Han couldn't stop crying when he learned about this, like a dead brother. So far, Wen Han has been mentally weak and has not experienced much war. These months of war were handed over to Prime Minister Pang Tong and Fufeng Wang Xu Huang. Let's say that one day, Wen Han was in Luoyang Palace. Suddenly, a meteor horse suddenly reported that Guan Yu, the king of Hedong, was seriously injured and could not be cured. He had died of illness a few months ago. Wen Han heard the news, like a bolt from the blue, shouted and fainted to the ground. Wenwu heard about it and came to see it one after another. That night, Wen Han woke up with grief. Suddenly, I saw someone coming outside the palace. It was Guan Xing. Wen Han seemed to be broken, shouted and cried again. The officials were so scared that they hurried to wake up. After that, Wen Han cried three or five times a day, and the water did not enter for three days. He just cried bitterly. Tears wet his clothes and became blood. Pang Tong, Xu Huang, Wen Shun and the officials repeatedly persuaded them, which was useless. Here, Emperor Wenhan of the Tang Dynasty lost weight day and night.

Pang Tong heard that Zhang Qian led troops to help Xiangyang. There were hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou. He was eager to discuss with Wen Han. He could teach Pang De to send troops from Wu Nan to attack Wu Bei. At the same time, he also taught Zhang Liao to lead the soldiers and horses in Shuzhong, and attacked Jingzhou in two ways with the troops defending Luoyang. Wen Han Xuzhi ordered Xu Huang, the king of Fufeng, to be the marshal of the army, Zhao Yun as the deputy commander of the army, and Pang Tong as the military division. He led 300,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiangyang. Xu Huang sighed and took the order. In order to unify the great cause of unifying the country, he suppressed the sadness and led the troops to set out on the same day.

In the same month, Taichang Zhoulong heard about Guan Yu's death. He was too sad and died of illness at home. Tian Feng was afraid that Emperor Tang would be unable to accept it for a while, so he ordered the ministers to hide the matter for the time being and report it again when the situation in the world stabilized. The ministers all felt that it was reasonable, so they followed it.

Changwu three years, August. Xu Huang led 300,000 troops to Xiangyang. At the same time, Zhang Liao also led a large army in Shuzhong, with 80,000 troops and horses. After attacking Jingzhou, the two Tang troops wanted to attack back and forth and break through Jingzhou. Fortunately, Jiang Wei and Sima Zhao had already found out that they led the troops to ambush in the South County. Zhang Liao has always been cautious in marching, and Cheng Gongying has made suggestions in the army. He saw through the ambush in time, and there was no big defeat. Jiang Wei won and retreated, so Jiang Wei fought against Zhang Liao in Shounan County. The battle situation was stale for a while, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner. On the other side, Xu Huang led 300,000 troops to Xiangyang, and Cao Pi led Zhang Ya, Cao Zhang and other generals to guard. The strength of the two armies is equal. Although the Western Tang army has sharp weapons such as thunder cannons to attack the city, the Wei army has a thunderbolt car to defend the city. There are more than a dozen battles between the two armies, and it is also difficult to win or lose.

Let's say that Pang De was ordered to lead a total of 60,000 troops in Wunan and Jiaozhou to kill in Wubei. Sima Yi led 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Nanchang. Pound took Ma Dai as the pioneer. Seeing that the Wei army was weak, Ma Dai did not dare to act rashly. He despised and was eager for quick success. He marched all the way, but he was ambushed by Sima Yi. Ma Dai was killed by Sima Shi, the eldest son of Sima Yi. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Ma Dai were killed and injured, and the rest were almost captured by Sima Yi's army. Pang De was furious and eager to revenge. He was hit by Sima Yi's fierce attack and attacked Nanchang City for days with thunder cannons. Sima Yi was first weak. Pound attacked the north gate, and he withdrew all the soldiers to the south gate. About seven or eight days later, the north gate of Nanchang was broken, and Pang De led a strong attack and entered the city. Sima Yi gathered his momentum and resisted bravely. Most of Pang De's soldiers and horses were tired and lost to Sima Yi's army. They were defeated and retreated. Sima Yi also secretly taught his son Sima Shi to attack Pang De's barracks and burn down his carriage. Most of Pang De's army was destroyed, and the army was in chaos. Sima Yi led his troops to attack. Pang De's army was defeated and retreated. Pang De was hit by several arrows and retreated back to the territory of Wunan with tens of thousands of defeated soldiers.

The fifth year of Changwu, February. Tang Emperor Wenhan died. The whole country was shocked, and the troops on the front line stopped fighting for the time being. Zhang Liao led his troops back to Shu. Xu Huang also led his troops to retreat to the Central Plains. At this point, Jingzhou is too flat for the time being. During this series of battles, the Western Tang and Wei armies were all damaged. Cao Pi listened to Sima Zhaozhi's advice and stabilized the situation first. He ascended the throne in Xiangyang and made Zhang Jian the general of soldiers and horses, and Sima Yi as the prime minister. Jiang Wei and the Sima brothers are all generals.

The fifth year of Changwu, May. With the support of Pang Tong, the prime minister of the Western Tang Dynasty, and the civil and military officials, Wen Shun ascended the throne and respected his father Wen Han as the emperor of heaven and his mother, Cai Yan Zhaolie. The rest of the literary and martial arts are rewarded and amnesty to the world.

The new emperors of the Western Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty first came to the throne, and all kinds of wastes were prosperous. In this world, the world has been peaceful for the rest of years. In January of the sixth year of Changwu, Wen Shunying Fufeng King Xu Huang, Prime Minister Pang Tong, Longwei General Zhao Yun and a group of civil and military officials personally led 300,000 troops to attack Xiangyang, Jingzhou. In the same month, Yizhou Mu Xu Shu, and Zhang Liao, the general of Qiqi, was ordered by the emperor, and led 100,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou.

In the fifth year of Changwu, the first battle of the Western Tang army was unfavorable. Xu Gai, the son of Xu Huang, the king of Fufeng, was shot by Cao Zhang. Xu Huang was saddened by his parents and children. He did not listen to Pang Tong's advice and rushed to the war. He was trapped by Sima Zhao and was besieged by tens of thousands of Wei troops. Zhao Yun, the general of Longwei, led his troops to save Xu Huang. How did he know that Xu Huang was old, with several arrows in his body, and his life was broken after arriving at the village. Wen Shun was furious when he heard the funeral news. He sent General Longwei as the marshal of the army, and used Deng Ai, Yang Ku and other generals to attack Xiangyang with hundreds of thousands of troops. With the concerted efforts of the generals of the Western Tang Dynasty, Xiangyang was broken a few months later. Cao Pi led the remnants of the defeated soldiers and fled to Eastern Wu, but was intercepted by Deng Ai's led by soldiers, and nearly tens of thousands of soldiers were defeated before he fled.

In the same year, Xu Shu successfully caused the Jingzhou clan to rebel with alienation. Jiang Wei was difficult to stabilize the overall situation. He was defeated by the army of Zhang Liao and Shuzhong. The southern county was lost and retreated to Eastern Wu. At this point, Jingzhou fell into the bag of the Western Tang Dynasty. Cao Pi fled to Eastern Wu and taught the troops to guard the Yangtze River.

The sixth year of Changwu, April. Zhuge Ke responded to Sima Yi and wanted to lead the people of the state to rebel. How to know that the officials of Jiaozhou all bowed to the jurisdiction of the Western Tang Dynasty and secretly reported Pound. Pang De then held a banquet to kill Zhuge Ke, and then informed the emperor Wen Shun. Wen Shun was furious when he heard the news, that is, he sent Deng Ai as the vanguard general and first led 100,000 troops to attack Danyang. At the same time, Pang De also dispatched troops and horses to Wubei. Zhang Ya took the order and led 70,000 sailors to fight against Deng Ai's army in the Yangtze River. Deng Ai's warships are equipped with thunder cannons, and it can't be blocked by the Wei army. Zhang Jian was defeated and fled in embarrassment. On the way to withdraw, he was seriously injured and died. Deng Aiqiang crossed the Yangtze River and quickly reported Wen Shun. Wen Shun was overjoyed and immediately led hundreds of thousands of troops across the Yangtze River. Jiang Wei took the order and attracted more than ten thousand soldiers to resist Deng Ai's vanguard army. In the same year, Pound was unfavorable again and lost to the Sima brothers. Pound was ambushed by Sima Zhao and was eventually killed by Sima Shi. Shortly after that, Jiang Wei's army was broken through the defense line by Deng Ai's army, and Jiang Wei's army retreated.

Seven years of Changwu, June. Wen Shun personally led a large army to destroy the withered and rotten, and went straight to the yellow dragon and killed it to Wu County. Fortunately, Sima Zhao was not expected, and the Sima brothers withdrew their troops to help. After a series of fierce battles, the Wei army was unable to return to heaven. Cao Zhang, the king of the State of Wei and Jin, bravely broke into the enemy camp and wanted to kill Wen Shun, the emperor of the Western Tang Dynasty. In the end, he was defeated by Wen Shun and died of hatred.

The seventh year of Changwu, October. Wu County was broken. Cao Pi killed himself. The Sima family was almost killed in battle. Sima Zhao begged Wen Shun to leave blood for the Sima family. Wen Shun responded and adopted Sima Yan, the son of Sima Zhao, as his adopted son.

At this point, the world is unified. Wen Han, the emperor of Tiandang, left countless precious suicide letters. After Wen Shun collected them, he ordered the "Tiandang Strange Book". A few years later, Wen Shun inherited his father's last wish, put the wishes of the people first, and worked conscientiously. At the same time, Wen Shun also developed many firearms in the Book of Tiandang, conquered all directions, and expanded the territory. There are all kinds of neighboring countries. Wen Shun also followed what his father taught in the past years, deterrence first and then etiquette, teach the vassal state, and learn the Han culture as much as possible. According to later historical records, the Western Tang Empire had a vast territory. Wen Shun also focuses on commercial and military development. In the next year, he launched a large-scale research and development of the aviation industry. The Western Tang Dynasty army fought everywhere, crossed the boundless sea and accepted hundreds of countries. History calls Wen Shun the 'Tianwu Emperor'.
