    (Please remember our website address) Chapter 6: The Tang Dynasty III

    At this moment, Wang Xun, who was blocked outside Chang'an City, had no idea that the rebels in the city were ready to jump over the wall. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. Since the Battle of Yongle Yuan, the Anxi Army has fought with different opponents for nearly four times.  After ten battles, they have won more and lost less. From top to bottom, they have begun to despise their opponents from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, the size of the Anxi Army has now expanded to more than 30,000 people, and its strength is far from what it was before.

    What he cares about is how he will invade Chang'an in order to bring the least damage to the city. As a warrior who once swept across both sides of Yaochashui and had a name that could stop children crying at night, Wang Xun has long refused to believe that the world is still alive.  No matter how compassionate the coach of a team is, no matter how strict the military discipline is, it still needs specific people to implement it. People who have just experienced a bloody battle often behave like animals.  Similar to instinct, it is also the hardest to be restrained by reason.

    But it is not a simple matter to protect Chang'an City. Now stationed around Chang'an, there are more than just the Anxi Army's Hedong Army commanded by Li Guangbi, Shuofang Army commanded by Guo Ziyi, Lingwu Army commanded by Wang Sili, Xue Jingxian's  The Chencang Army under the command, as well as the tribal cavalry under the command of Prince Yehu of Uighur, all came in a show of force, preparing to give the rebels in the city the final blow.

    The first person to enter Chang'an will be crowned king. Just this promise from the Lingwu court is enough to make the commanders of various armies boil with excitement. Moreover, it is rumored that in Chang'an City, there are also a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry looted by the rebels from various places.  The supplies cannot be exchanged for armor and equipment for the rebels in a short period of time, but the food, grass and luggage are enough to make the attackers' eyes burn red. Once a certain soldier and horse turn their attention to the ordinary people in the city because they cannot satisfy their greed, the consequences will be unimaginable  

    For more than half a year, Wang Xun has been in close contact with various friendly armies, and has long been familiar with the situation of these friendly armies. As far as he knows, except for Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army, which is fairly disciplined, the other allies are probably not so good.  Especially the hundreds of thousands of Huihe warriors under Prince Ye Hu, their behavior on and off the battlefield is similar to that of a group of horse thieves, except that these horse thieves hold an invitation letter from the Lingwu Imperial Court.

    Wang Xun didn't want Chang'an City to end up with the same fate as Zhezhe and Ju Zhan. This city in front of him was his hometown, inhabited by his neighbors and playmates who had grown up together. Every house in it  , every street and alley contains the warmest and most beautiful memories in his life. If the city of Chang'an is destroyed by war, he may not be able to have peace of mind in this life.  The blue smoke stings so much that I want to live

    He told his concerns to Guo Ziyi, the nominal commander of the coalition forces, hoping that General Guo could find a more reliable siege plan. As a result, General Guo, who was always known for his wisdom and resourcefulness, was at a loss. "Guo could only  Do your best" Looking at Wang Xun's disappointed eyes, the old general promised with difficulty, "I can only do my best, General Hussars, as you know, we have several troops and horses in our hands that have been working hard since the day they were established.  There has been no payment and Chang'an City has been occupied for more than a year. Many families there are inextricably linked to the rebels"

    "Does Commander Guo think that the imperial court's responsibility for abandoning Chang'an back then should be blamed on the people in the city?" Before Guo Ziyi could finish speaking, Wang Xun's anger arose in his heart. "While escaping for their lives, each one ran faster than the other and kept saying hello.  If they don¡¯t even dare to fight, why should the common people in the city not surrender but use their heads to hold up the maces that were dragged down the river one by one?¡±

    "Where did this come from? Where did it come from?" Although he had long been accustomed to Wang Xun's directness, Guo Ziyi was still suppressed until veins popped out on his forehead. "That day, that day, what happened that day, the culprit was Yang Guozhong. But now, I, I  I haven't said that every citizen in Chang'an City is suspected of being a thief. It's just that it's very difficult to find a solution that has both ends. You can let me think about it again. Think about it again. Attacking the city is useless anyway.  Don¡¯t be in a hurry, be in a hurry¡±

    As he spoke, he raised his teacup to drink water, his eyes refusing to meet Wang Xun's again no matter what.

    Wang Xun knew that if he continued to ask questions, he would not get any useful answers. He couldn't help but sigh softly, stood up and said goodbye. Guo Ziyi accompanied him out of the Chinese army tent, watching his back and the horse go away, with a look on his face.  His ashamed look suddenly disappeared, he smiled, and turned back in stride

    "That guy is so arrogant. Even if my father doesn't want to embarrass him, he still has to give him some pain. Otherwise, who will take you seriously in the future?" Guo Xi, who has been following Guo Ziyi, can't stand it.  Wang Xun's domineering, gritted teeth proposal

    "Is he wrong? Why don't I know where he is wrong?" Facing his own flesh and blood, Guo Ziyi changed her previous pedantic and dull attitude. She slapped her son hard on the head first, and then added with a smile, "  If the city of Chang'an is really destroyed by war, even if my father is made a king, he will not be able to escape the infamy after his death."The Guo family will have to pay the price for this sooner or later. How can I put it? In order to save the Tang Dynasty, some of the methods used by His Majesty were too"

    Not wanting to accuse the monarch of his faults, he shook his head and tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible, "It was a bit too hasty. Fortunately, now that the Anxi Army is standing in front of us, there is still room for making up for some omissions."

    Guo Xi has been following his father as a general. He knew what his father's words meant, but he still couldn't swallow it. He gritted his teeth and continued: "The Anxi Army has indeed made great contributions, but the imperial court has also given them enough.  The good thing is that just for the positions of Duke and County Duke, a full five have been granted"

    "If they really care about these false reputations, why bother coming all the way back from the west of Congling? If they just shove Shule into the hands of the Huihe people, close the door and proclaim themselves king and emperor, what will the court do?" Guo Ziyi looked at it.  He glanced at his son and interrupted somewhat unhappily.

    Compared with Anxi Army coach Wang Xun, his son Guo Xi is indeed far inferior. Not only in terms of ability and experience, but also in terms of mind and vision, it is difficult to compare with him. This makes him, as a father, feel a little unhappy.  Comfortable. The more you compare, the stronger the feeling of loss becomes.

    "He, he's not afraid" Guo Xi felt his father's displeasure, shrank his shoulders, and argued in a low voice, "Anyway, I can't understand his attitude towards you, it seems like we  It¡¯s like the Guo family owes him¡±

    "Can you use a knife?" Guo Ziyi shrugged and sneered slightly, "If the blade is not hard, how can it be used to chop people?"
