- Everyone rested in the city for a night. After Cao Xiu and the army left, they launched a mutiny and took control of the entire Jicheng city without killing anyone. ¦çDing¦çdian¦çС¦ç said,
However, there was still a fish that slipped through the net. Cheng Yu inspected the city gate that day and saw the Xiongnu soldiers rushing towards him. Knowing that he could not resist them, he immediately withdrew from the city and came to find Xiahou Yuan to report the matter.
After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Xia Houyuan and Xu Shu were filled with resentment. Now that Ma Chao is behind and Sima Yi is in front, the nearly 30,000 troops are still in the ice and snow, which makes everyone feel cold.
"For the current plan, we just need to go to a nearby city to rest for the time being, and then wait and see what happens." Xu Shu thought for a while and immediately said to everyone.
Xia Houyuan said: "Go to Longxi County. Longxi is close to Qiangzhong. First occupy Longxi and then use the strength of the Qiang people to counterattack."
Xu Shu said: "Then let's go quickly. I'm afraid if we leave a little longer, Ma Chao will catch up, and Sima Yi will definitely take action."
"The whole army sets out, toward Longxi, speed up!" Xia Houyuan gave an order, and all 28,000 horse infantry troops headed toward Longxi, while the remaining general was responsible for guarding the mountain road and ambushing Ma Chao.
¡¡¡¡
Ma Chao and Wang Shuang pursued the Wei army, and when they were about to reach the place where Pang De and Chu Yan first ambush, Ma Chao ordered the entire army to stop. His falcon-like eyes scanned the entire snowfield, and suddenly said to Wang Shuang: "You lead the people and divide them into two sides. , detoured behind the hillside, and I passed through it. This place is dangerous, and the Wei army will definitely set up an ambush and then work together to kill it. "
"Nuo!" With that said, Wang Shuang led a wave of troops into two teams, separated on the left and right, and detoured behind the hillside.
Ma Chao rushed forward with a thousand cavalry, and said to his subordinates: "Everyone is always ready."
The group of people rushed into the mountain road quickly and were about to rush out of the entrance of the mountain road. The Wei army's ambush was fully displayed. Five hundred archers were ambushed on both sides, and they shot at Ma Chao in the mountain road.
Ma Chao and others were on guard for a long time. They secretly held their serial crossbows in their hands. When they saw the ambush appearing, they fired towards the hillside.
A contest of arrows. The two armies suffered casualties from each other. At this time, Wang Shuang and others came out from behind the hillside and attacked from both sides. In a short time, they killed all the ambush soldiers.
After that, Ma Chao and Wang Shuang joined forces and chased forward for some distance. They saw a fork in the road, one heading towards Longxi and the other towards Hanyang.
Ma Chao didn¡¯t even think about it. Then he rode his horse towards Hanyang and chased him, saying: "This must be Xiahou Yuan's suspicion formation to make us think that he is heading towards Longxi. Come with me and catch up with Xiahou Yuan."
So, the group of people continued to run towards Hanyang. After less than ten miles, they saw a group of cavalry rolling in front of them. Ma Chao saw the cavalry approaching fiercely. He hurriedly ordered: "Stop the entire army and prepare to fight."
There were no flags flying on the opposite side. Ma Chao, who looked like a Qiang man, stood on the road alone and let Wang Shuang and others separate behind him.
Among the cavalry coming from the opposite side, the leader was Sima Yi. He saw that the Chinese army in front had already taken a stance. He hurriedly ordered the army to stop, and he galloped forward a few steps, stood outside the shooting range, and shouted loudly: "Is it Ma Mengqi, the general who conquered the west?"
"It's Ma! Who are you?"
¡°I¡¯m the General of the Southern Expedition, Sima Yi, and I¡¯ve met General Ma.¡± Sima Yi said, clasping his fists.
"Sima Yi?" Ma Chao looked at Sima Yi suspiciously. I was a child five years ago, and now I have grown so big. He immediately rode forward and asked, "You are coming from Hanyang County. Could it be that Jicheng has been captured by you?"
"Exactly!" Sima Yi nodded and said, "Now I am looking for Xia Houyuan. Has General Ma seen him?"
"What's wrong! Then Xia Houyuan must have gone to Longxi. I was careless and missed him." Ma Chao said.
"It doesn't matter. When Xiahou Yuan went to Longxi, he must have wanted to use the strength of the Qiang people to counterattack Liangzhou. Since Xiahouyuan has given up the east side of Liangzhou, we can take it at will. General Ma, how about you attack Anding County? "Sima Yi's tone when speaking was not an order, but a discussion. He knew Ma Chao's temper, so he tried not to provoke him.
Ma Chao said: "Then say goodbye."
With that said, Ma Chao took Wang Shuang and other five thousand cavalry and eagerly headed towards Anding.
Sima Yi continued to march forward with his army. Within ten miles, he happened to encounter Pang De's army. Pang De did not know Sima Yi. When he saw Sima Yi coming with the Huns soldiers, he mistakenly thought they were Qiang people and hurriedly put up a posture.
¡°Is that General Pang Lingming in front of you?¡± Sima Yi reined in his horse and asked.
"Exactly, who are you???? Pang De felt curious when he saw Sima Yi wearing a strong suit and leading a group of Xiongnu soldiers who looked like Qiang people.
¡°I¡¯m Sima Yi, I¡¯ve seen General Pang!¡± Sima Yi said while riding on horseback, clasping his fists.
"Sima Yi?" Pang De was suspicious for a moment and asked, "But Sima Yi, the general who conquered the south?"
"Exactly!"
Pang De immediately withdrew his defenses, walked forward quickly, cupped his fists towards Sima Yi and said, "Sir Sima, Pang De has missed you from a distance, please forgive me!"
Sima Yi¡¯s rank is one level higher than Pound¡¯s. As the saying goes, one level of officialdom kills people, so Pound naturally has to step forward to pay his respects. Ma Chao was different from Pang De. Except when he saw Lin Nanxing, he would not bow down to anyone else. No matter how high an official you are, don't let him do it.
"There is no need to be polite. When General Pang comes, it must be that Yuzhong City has been captured by General Pang, right?"
"Exactly, Yuzhong City was captured three days ago, and now we are chasing Xiahou Yuan. Has General Sima seen General Zhengxi Ma?"
"Well, we met. I have asked him to attack Anding. Xia Houyuan fled towards Longxi. Just in case, I also asked General Pang to spare no effort to attack Jincheng County. Here are 10,000 cavalry, all Xiongnu warriors. Please General Pang led them to attack Jincheng County, but something happened later. "
"I understand, I will go immediately, but these eight thousand infantry"
"I'll just take it back to Yuzhong City."
Pang De said nothing more, immediately got on his horse and headed towards Jincheng with 10,000 Huns. Sima Yi returned to Yuzhong City with 8,000 infantrymen, cleaning up some chaotic battlefields along the way and burying all the corpses.
After Sima Yi returned to Yuzhong City, he felt very sorry to hear that Chu Yan had died in battle. Then let people bury him underground. Later, they sent out scouts to inform Taishi Ci and Wei Yan who were in Wuwei. They suggested that Wei Yan lead an army of 50,000 to the west to attack the three counties of Jiuquan, Zhangye and Dunhuang. He also suggested that Taishi Ci should leave only 10,000 troops to guard Wuwei City. Lead all the troops southward.
in addition. Sima Yi also temporarily ordered the 50,000 Dongyi soldiers stationed in Lingzhou to take advantage of the situation and capture Gaoling County in Qinzhou as a military supervisor. They stationed troops along the Wei River to put pressure on Qinzhou and at the same time to assist the Kwantung Army in taking over Qinzhou. Purpose.
Sima Yi himself stayed in Yuzhong City, waiting for the arrival of Taishi Ci's army.
Two days later, Ma Chao and Pang De captured Anding and Jincheng counties without any blood. Hou Cheng and Song Xian led 40,000 Dongyi soldiers southward and captured Gaoling. Moreover, Chen Bing and Xu Huang's Kwantung Army formed an encirclement of Chang'an City in Qinzhou in the Wei River area. Wei Yanze led an army of 50,000 troops and marched westward, while Tai Shici led an army of 120,000 troops and had already arrived at Yuzhong City.
Sima Yi personally went out to welcome Taishi Ci into Yuzhong City. When they met twice, Taishi Ci first said: "So you are Sima Yi. I have heard about your outsmarting Jicheng. Now the counties in Liangzhou have heard about it. Surrender. Only Longxi and Wudu have not yet been conquered, and Wei Yan's troops have already sent troops to march westward. Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye will inevitably surrender after hearing the news, and the situation is good. But, if you could come a few days earlier, maybe General Chu wouldhey!"
"People cannot be resurrected after death, but I hope the general will show mercy and obey." Sima Yi knew that he was the general who conquered the south. It was temporary. It was no better than Taishi Ci's Tiger-winged General, who had 250,000 troops under his command. He was also the number one figure in the Northwest Field Army and a first-class marquis. His distinguished status was beyond his reach, so he could only speak in a low voice.
"That's all, it's just that Chu Yan was too reckless. The emperor sent you here to be the supervisor and military advisor. Do you have a strategy to kill Xia Houyuan?" Tai Shi Ci asked.
"There is no need to act too hastily. There is heavy snow now, and it is half a man deep. It is extremely difficult to march. Xia Houyuan fled to Longxi, relying on the Qiang people, hoping to use the power of the Qiang people to counterattack Liangzhou. However, I think the Qiang people will not attack Liangzhou at this time. Send troops easily. The general can also temporarily let go of Liangzhou. If we press too hard, Xiahou Yuan and the Qiang people will naturally become one. The top priority now is Chang'an. As long as we capture Wei's capital, we can shake Wei more than taking Liangzhou."
Tai Shici asked: "What do you mean slow down the attack on Liangzhou first, and then move the army south to take Chang'an?"
"No, the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou cannot retreat. The general can send 20,000 troops to help General Pang garrison Jincheng, let General Ma's general Wang Shuang garrison Hanyang, and then send 50,000 troops to Wang Shuang for deployment. In this way, I The 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers brought can continue to be deployed by me. The general will sit in Yuzhong City and surround Xiahou Yuan on three sides. He will not dare to act rashly. "
After hearing this, Taishi Ci felt that what Sima Yi said made sense, so he asked: "What about you? Listening to what you mean, you seem??It's not like staying in Liangzhou? "
Sima Yi smiled and said: "I will take the 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers to assist the Kwantung Army in capturing Chang'an City, but I need to borrow a good general from the general."
Tai Shici asked: "Who?"
"Ma Mengqi, General of the Western Conquest!"
"ThisI can't make the decision. General Ma has always been arrogant. If the emperor hadn't given me a false ax, I wouldn't be able to mobilize him. This is a tiger trapped in a cage. It might bite people. "Tai Shi Ci and Ma Chao once fought. Although the two seem to be in harmony on the surface, in fact they are not convinced by the other.
When Lin Nan chose the generals of the Northwest Army, he also thought carefully and decided to take Taishi Ci as the leader, with Ma Chao, Pang De, Wei Yan, and Chu Yan as assistants. If Taishi Ci and Ma Chao were at odds and started fighting again, Pang would be the leader. De, Wei Yan, and Chu Yan could also be there to comfort him. Besides, Ma Chao was the only one in the Northwest Army who came later, so the intention was to suppress Ma Chao with four people. In the past five years, although Ma Chao was unruly, he still obeyed Taishi Ci's command and was relatively harmonious. Even if there is a slight quarrel of words, it is just a disagreement.
Sima Yi said: "Because of this, I want to use his power and ask the general to help me."
"In that case, that's it. I will send 10,000 troops to garrison Anding, and give Ma Chao military orders to attack Chang'an. Military advisor, if there are any adverse effects, then I will not bear this responsibility."
"If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility in front of the Emperor."
Taishi Ci stopped talking. Sima Yi had already mentioned this. He immediately wrote a letter in his own hand and asked someone to deliver it to Ma Chao.
Sima Yi suggested that Taishi Ci should only defend but not attack until spring began. Take care of Xia Houyuan again. Taishi Ci nodded in agreement, and sent someone to convey the order. At the same time, he sent someone to Lingzhou to pick up his daughter-in-law Tian Xin, so that they could have a discussion sooner or later and avoid making any big mistakes. Sima Yi first returned to Jicheng to wait for the Huns to withdraw from Jincheng.
¡¡
Qinzhou, Bashang.
Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Liao Hua, Lin Yang and others all gathered together, looking eastward on the official road, quietly waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
Not long after. But I saw a blond man wearing thick armor and riding a horse. The infantry phalanx behind him was very neat and orderly. Every time he took a step forward, he could hear sonorous and powerful steps. He was very strong.
After looking at it, Xu Huang couldn't help but frowned. He thought: "It turns out that the Feiwei Army that the Emperor has been secretly training is such a force. It is indeed different from other armies"
"Is this the legendary Flying Guards? It is indeed majestic and mighty. It seems that the Roman has some skills." After looking at it, Liao Hua kept praising him psychologically.
Guo Jia looked at the expressions on the faces of Xu Huang, Liao Hua and Lin Yang around him, and thought secretly in his heart: "The emperor has sent foreigners to help out. It seems that the day when the emperor will go on a personal expedition is not far away. I don't know when it will arrive." It¡¯s really exciting to see what the re-formed Feiyu Army will look like.¡±
Soon. When the two met, the blond man raised his hand slightly, and all the infantry formations behind him stopped, even the steps were consistent and very strict.
The blond man got off his horse. He was wearing armor, and every time he took a step forward, he could hear the sound of metal colliding. The armor on his body was shiny, made of pure silver, expensive to make, and a completely Roman-style armor.
When he walked to Xu Huang and others, the blond and blue-eyed man clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "I am Anita Partridge, the emperor's personally appointed General Feiwei. I have met several princes!"
Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Liao Hua, Lin Yang and others all looked at each other after listening to Anita Partridge's Chinese speaking skills. This foreigner was undoubtedly the same as them in terms of etiquette, and he seemed even more humble.
In Anita¡¯s heart, these people are all people with marquises. If he does not have a marquis in China, he is inferior to others, so he must have the necessary etiquette.
Xu Huang said: "Welcome General An"
"No! It's General Partridge. My surname is Partridge, not An. Anita is my name. You can call me Anita. It makes me more friendly." Anita Partridge retorted.
Xu Huang, Liao Hua, Lin Yang, and Guo Jia welcomed Anita Partridge into Bashang's camp, while the 20,000 flying guards brought by Anita Partridge were under Xu Huang's Kwantung Army. Another camp was built outside the camp, and the two camps echoed each other.
As soon as Anita Partridge entered Xu Huang's camp, she took the lead and asked: "Masters, I was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to come here to assist in the battle, and I brought siege weapons from General Zhou in Tongguan, and Many, I want to know the length ofI wonder if any of you princes can tell me about the current situation in the city? "
Guo Jiadao: "Let me tell you. The current situation is very favorable to our army. Hou Cheng and Song Xian of the Northwest Army sent troops to occupy Gaoling. This means that Sima Yi's strategy was successful and Liangzhou has nothing left. There is a threat, and the top priority now is to attack Chang'an City quickly. The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for the Wei army. Therefore, I think that when the entire army is pressed, the city of Chang'an will be surrounded on three sides, and then we will attack in turn. "
"Surround it on three sides? Why not surround it on four sides?" Xu Huang asked.
"On the other hand, leave it to Sima Yi to fight, so we don't have to worry about it. General Xu is still the main general here. General Partridge, you are sent by the emperor to assist in the battle. When the time comes, a city gate will be left for you to attack. Do you have any objection?" Guo Jia asked.
"No, it all depends on the command of the Lieutenant." Anita Partridge said.
As a Taiwei, Guo Jia has the highest rank, so what he says here still holds great weight. In terms of planning, he was the leader, and in siege of cities and territories, Xu Huang was the soul of the army.
Seeing that Anita Partridge did not refute, Xu Huang said: "In that case, it's settled. We'll have a rest tonight and set up camp early tomorrow morning to attack Chang'an."
¡¡
Inside Chang'an City. People are already panicking. The city of Chang'an suffered a disaster five years ago. It took Cao Cao five years to recover. This time, I'm afraid that people will be in ruins again. Some people wanted to escape from Chang'an City, but unfortunately the Wei army sealed all the city gates. Only allowed in, not allowed out, vowing to defend the city.
In the palace, the news that Liangzhou was captured shocked Cao Ang, who was supervising the country as the prince. After getting the battle report, he slumped in his seat and said: "The Chinese army is at its peak, and even Uncle Xiahou has Unable to resist?"
"Prince, Zhang Xiu urgently reports." A servant of the prince's residence presented a letter to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang took the letter, opened it and read it, he couldn't help being furious, he slapped the table hard, shaking everything on the table to pieces, and even threw Zhang Xiu's letter far away. He cursed loudly: "Zhang Xiu, how dare you bully me like this!"
At this time. Xia Houheng walked in from outside and happened to see Cao Ang getting angry. He picked up the letter on the ground and read it hastily, but saw that Zhang Xiu refused to lead his army to Chang'an King Qin on the grounds that Wudu had few soldiers and was afraid that the Chinese army would attack Wudu. He frowned, walked up to Cao Ang, and said: "Prince, there is no need to be angry. What Zhang Xiu said is indeed true. I thought that my father could resist the Chinese army for a year and a half, but I didn't know that in just ten days, Liang Xiu More than half of the counties and counties in the state have planted the banner of the Chinese army. Now my father is in Longxi and Zhang Xiu is in Wudu. Both places are important places and contain nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Chinese army. It is really inappropriate to do this. Come to King Qin at this time. However, Hanzhong should send troops, and the scouts sent out in the next few days will get back the news. Please don't be angry. "
When Cao Ang heard Xia Houheng¡¯s consolation, he asked, ¡°Where is Cao Zhen?¡±
"Cao Zidan is patrolling various city gates, reinforcing the city's defenses, and boosting morale. Now all the soldiers in Chang'an City are united and have sworn to surround the imperial capital with death. Don't worry, Your Highness, Cao Zidan is a talented general and will definitely be able to help me. Wei got through it, but"
"Just what?"
Xia Houheng said: "Your Majesty, please pardon me first, and then I will dare to speak out."
"You and I have known each other since childhood, what else do we dare not say? But it doesn't matter, I will pardon your innocence."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Xia Houheng bowed to Cao Ang and continued, "It's just that I feel that the Chinese army can even break through the Huayin Pass, and I'm afraid that Chang'an City I'm afraid it won't be able to escape misfortune "
Cao Ang sighed and said: "I am also worried about this. General Zhendong's 20,000 iron troops cannot stop the Chinese army. Can we do it here?"
"Therefore, I think we should prepare for the worst and send all the family members of the royal family, ministers, and generals to safely escort them to Hanzhong. In this way, even if the city of Chang'an is destroyed, we can fight our way out without any scruples. If we encircle it tightly and then set it on fire, even if the Chinese army gets the city of Chang'an, it will still be in ruins," Xia Houheng suggested.
"Your suggestion is good and can be adopted. Now I will order you to take full responsibility for this matter, and then secretly leave the city at night and go all the way to Hanzhong."
"Your Highness, won't you come with me?"
"As the prince, my father ordered me to supervise the country. I am the backbone of all the soldiers. I must not retreat at will. I will not leave Chang'an City unless it is absolutely necessary. Bo Quan, just do as I say. "
Xia Houheng frowned. He knew Cao Ang¡¯s character.??, so he stopped trying to dissuade him and immediately clasped his fists and said, "That Boquan will mobilize all the family members of the civil and military ministers and the royal family to evacuate tonight."
"Well, it must be done in secret. I will have someone send you an imperial edict in a moment, and you must act in accordance with the imperial edict. In the past, we were driven away from Chang'an by the Chinese army from Changyi, and now it is the Chinese army that has driven us away from Chang'an. This time When will the time of planting come to an end? Go ahead.¡±
Xia Houheng retreated slowly, and then Cao Ang drafted an imperial edict and handed it to Xia Houheng. He personally mounted his horse and led the Tiger Guard to inspect the situation in Chang'an City.
Chang'an City is full of mobile soldiers. The whole city has entered a state of emergency preparation. The newly recruited soldiers have also been issued with weapons. Some have brought stones in from outside the city, while others have repaired the city wall at the top of the city and added weapons. High reinforcement, all worked very well.
When Cao Ang arrived at the south gate, he saw Cao Zhen taking the lead in repairing the city wall, so he walked over and asked: "You are the governor personally appointed by the prince, how can you do such a despicable job? You should work with Chen Qun and Yang Let¡¯s work together and formulate a plan to defend the city!¡±
When Cao Zhen saw Cao Ang, he stopped what he was doing and paid homage with the surrounding soldiers: "Kowtow to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No courtesy, you all go about your business."
So. Cao Zhen welcomed Cao Ang into the gate tower above the city tower and was served tea, showing his humility.
"Zidan, as a court minister, you always do small things. How can this be done? You should plan the city defense plan. Combat deployment, these are what you should do." Cao Ang lectured.
"Your Majesty, these things have been done long ago. There is nothing left to do. Now we only have to repair the city gate. I feel that there is nothing wrong with this. What's more, I started out as a soldier step by step. , since I could do it when I was a soldier, why can't I do it when I become the Governor? The reason why I have such a prominent status is because of it, but I dare not forget that those who are at the lowest level have done it for me. Without them, Chen alone would never be able to make a big splash. Therefore, if Chen takes the lead, the rest of the soldiers will naturally become enthusiastic. "
Cao Ang was speechless by what Cao Zhen said. He looked out the door and saw that those soldiers were indeed working very hard. He didn't say anything more. He took a sip of tea, stood up directly, and said, "Just do your best. I'm leaving."
"Best farewell to His Majesty the Crown Prince."
Cao Ang walked out of the gatehouse and looked at the soldiers around him. He couldn't help but feel that Cao Zhen was indeed a good general and might become the backbone of the Wei Dynasty in the future. Cao Chun, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren successively sacrificed their lives for the country. Cao Xiu is far away in Liangzhou again, and there are not many people left in the Cao family who can be generals. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If Chang'an was captured, he would try to get Cao Zhen to leave and save the remaining generals of the Cao family.
¡¡
"Uncle! Just let me go. I will only borrow five hundred cavalry. As soon as Yinyin is rescued, I will come back!" Cao Xiu knelt in front of Xia Houyuan, kowtowed and prayed.
Xia Houyuan's face was ashen, and there was a bandage wrapped around his arm. The bandage was soaked in blood and was given by Ma Chao. He glanced at Cao Xiu who was kneeling in front of him and said: "Yin Yin is my biological niece. I care about Yi Yin more than you. But, what time is it now? You can't see clearly. The Chinese army is surrounding us on three sides. , the Qiang people have not responded yet, you have already escaped death once, how can you enter the tiger's mouth again? "
"But Yin Yin" Cao Xiu retorted.
"I know you love each other, but don't worry, I've always heard that if Huaxia doesn't destroy other people's families, they won't do anything to Yin Yin. If you just give up your life for a woman, then you are the best in the world. You idiot! What is a woman? It's just a piece of clothing on your body. If you don't have it, you can change it. If you need a woman, your uncle can find one or two for you first. nest."
"I don't want it, I want Yin Yin! I don't want anyone except Yin Yin! Our team Yin Yin is sincere. I'm not like my uncle who has three wives and four concubines"
"You bastard, shut up! Someone, please escort Cao Wenlie to me. No one is allowed to let him out without my order."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two strong men taking Cao Xiu away directly.
At this time, Xu Shu came from outside. When he saw this scene, he didn't ask any questions and immediately said to Xia Houyuan: "King Qiang has heard back. Within ten days, he will lead his elite troops to help in the battle."
Xia Houyuan immediately said happily: "Great! Ma Chao, I must avenge this arrow!"
In the year 197 AD, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it was a cold morning and the sun had not yet come out.The 10,000-strong army had all arrived outside Chang'an City and surrounded the east, south and north gates of Chang'an City.
Xu Huang and Guo Jia were at the east gate, Liao Hua and Lin Yang were at the north gate, and Anita Partridge led the flying guards at the south gate. The army was not in a hurry to attack, but instead set up camp first.
At the same time, Sima Yi, Ma Chao, and Hu Chuquan led 20,000 Xiongnu cavalry to attack all the way from Liangzhou. They passed through various places in Qinzhou along the way, and everyone fell into the wind. In addition, Hou Cheng and Song Xian led 40,000 Dongyi archers across the Wei River from Gaoling to the city of Chang'an, and were assigned to garrison outside the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest.
As a result, the Chinese army completed the situation of encircling Chang'an City with an army of 100,000, and the entire Chang'an City was surrounded by water.
Suddenly, the sky over Chang'an City was filled with dark clouds, and the tense atmosphere made the people and soldiers in the city suffocated. The ancient city of Chang'an, which has gone through many vicissitudes of life, may turn into a pile of ruins in an instant.
People in the city were panicked. Although the soldiers were inspired by Cao Zhen, their psychological defenses were still broken in the face of such a huge army. The Battle of Huayin Pass. Cao Zhen and his 20,000 iron troops were all killed on the battlefield. Such an unbreakable city was captured by the Chinese army within three days, not to mention the city of Chang'an.
In the Prince's Mansion, Cao Ang summoned Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others to discuss countermeasures.
"The Chinese army has surrounded Chang'an City, with a strength of one hundred thousand, which is far beyond my expectation. Now people in Chang'an City are even more panic-stricken. Do you have any strategies to retreat from the enemy? Why don't you tell them all?" Cao Ang asked.
Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Liu Ye, and Man Chong all looked at each other. In this situation, there is no other way to retreat from the enemy, but to fight hard and hold on.
Cao Zhen clasped his fists and said: "To report to Your Highness the Crown Prince, I think that Chang'an City can be temporarily abandoned to avoid its sharp edge. Now Liangzhou and Qinzhou have already surrendered upon hearing the news. There are only 30,000 elites in Chang'an City, although many have been newly recruited. Soldiers, but these people are just a mob. Once they encounter a strong attack, they are likely to collapse in an instant. Once they turn against each other, I am afraid it will be very detrimental to our army. "
"Cao Zidan! His Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to be the Commander-in-Chief to retreat from the enemy. He did not ask you to run away, but you actually made such treasonous remarks?" Yang Xiu shouted angrily.
"Master Yang. I am not just thinking about future plans. The Chinese army came well prepared and assembled an army of 300,000 in the northwest in a short period of time. This is something that no country can currently do. Previously, Master Yang I have advised the emperor to attack Bashu. I have opposed the expedition. I am afraid that it will bring great trouble to the Wei State. The 250,000 northwest troops are watching eagerly. Even if the strategy of suspecting troops is used too much, it will be ineffective. Now it seems that when Huaxia conquered Jinghan in the south, it was already planned, and the attack on the northwest was also planned. "
"What do you know? The emperor has a unique vision and has already set his sights on Bashu. Guanzhong and Liangzhou have been in war for years and the people are exhausted. It is not a long-term development plan at all. Bashu is known as the land of abundance. Attacking Bashu is like having an extra arm. Yang Xiu retorted.
"Now it seems that the emperor and the ministers' thoughts were probably guessed by the people of Huaxia early on. They gained Bashu but lost Qinzhou and Liangzhou. In comparison, they just exchanged a piece of land for It¡¯s just another piece of land, and we lost our troops and gained nothing.¡±
"You bastard! How dare you do this" Yang Xiu became angry and his face twitched because he had strongly proposed the plan to conquer Bashu. At that time, he thought that Cao Cao would take him there. Who would have thought that if he performed meritorious services again, he would After leaving himself here, an ugly man named Pang Tong came over inexplicably, and Cao Cao actually took the ugly man with Xun Yu and left him here.
However, what Yang Xiu, Chen Qun and others did not expect was that the Chinese army's military front was too strong. They thought that even if Cao Cao went on an expedition and relied on the dangerous areas of Qinzhou and Liangzhou to defend the country, he would be attacked by the Chinese army. It can last for a year and a half, by which time Cao Cao's army has already returned. However, who would have thought that the Chinese army conquered Huayin in just three days, and captured half of Liangzhou in half a month. This speed is really amazing.
"That's enough! Don't you think it's noisy enough? Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
"Thirty-six strategies are the best. Now there is no place for our army to gain a foothold in Qinzhou. General Xiahou may still be able to compete with the Chinese army in Liangzhou with the help of the Qiang people. However, the Chang'an area is already besieged on all sides. Only The best strategy is to break out of the siege and escape towards Hanzhong." After careful consideration, Chen Qun felt that what Cao Zhen said was very reasonable, so he suggested.
"We also agree!" Liu Ye and Man Chong said in unison.
"Youyou" Yang Xiu actually wanted to leave, but if he proposed to leave at this time, thenIt is completely wrong for him to suggest conquering the land of Bashu.
"Then it's settled. Grand Governor, please make some arrangements, formulate a breakout plan, and then submit it." Cao Ang said.
"No!" Cao Zhen clasped his fists and turned to leave.
Cao Ang sighed and thought to himself: "Fortunately, all the family members were sent out last night, leaving a way out. I think this is also the main reason why all the ministers agreed to withdraw the troops. I have no face to face my father. It¡¯s a lonely city in Chang¡¯an, so let me live and die with this city.¡±

Outside the east gate of Chang'an City, in Xu Huang's tent, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Ma Chao, Liao Hua, Lin Yang, Anita Partridge, Hu Chuquan, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian all gathered together , it was so lively in a big tent.
"Today, various armies surrounded Chang'an. One hundred thousand troops were outside Chang'an City. Thanks to Sima Zhongda's strategy, he adopted the strategy of first going to Liangzhou and then encircling Chang'an" As a Taiwei of the Privy Council, Guo Jia has a high status and is the person with the most say, so from the beginning, he chaired this meeting.
"Young, calm, calm and intelligent, Guo Jia combines many excellent qualities and gradually plays an indispensable role in the Chinese army.
"No, no, no, this is still the credit of Mr. Taiwei. Mr. Taiwei has seen this plan a long time ago, but he just didn't say it. In fact, I did it according to Mr. Taiwei's wishes." Sima Yi hurriedly interrupted Guo Jia said humbly.
Guo Jia chuckled, feeling a little more respect and love for Sima Yi in his heart, and secretly shouted: "You can teach me, boy."
"The imperial edict has arrived!" At this time, a shout came from outside the big tent.
Everyone hurried out of the tent to receive the order. When they saw that Bian Xi was responsible for delivering the order, they were all surprised. They all agreed in their hearts. They were probably guessing that Bian Xi would personally deliver the order, and they were afraid that the emperor was not far away.
"Your Majesty, please kneel down and listen to the imperial edict!" The crowd, represented by Guo Jia, lined up backwards according to their official rank, knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted loudly.
Bian Xi held the imperial edict in his hand and immediately read out: "Holy edict, the right cavalry general Xu Huang has worked hard and merited. I am grateful for his kindness, and I have specially appointed him as the general of the cavalry. He will lead all the troops and conquer Qinzhou with the holiday axe." Taiwei Guo Jia is the supervisor of the army, General Sima Yi of the Southern Expedition is the military adviser, and Ma Chao, the general of the Western Expedition, is granted the title of General of the Right Chariot and Cavalry. They are temporarily under Xu Huang's command and will be returned to the northwest field armies after Qinzhou is captured. We must work together and capture Chang'an City within seven days. After the city is defeated, we will give you another reward!"
After the imperial edict was read out, everyone shouted: "I accept the edict and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"
Everyone stood up, Guo Jia walked to Bian Xi and asked quietly: "Where has the emperor arrived?"
Bian Xi smiled and said: "My lord Taiwei, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, but the emperor has not arrived. The emperor has already roughly understood the affairs in the northwest. After the war, I also asked your lord Taiwei to stay temporarily and take charge of all matters in Qin and Liang states." , this is the emperor¡¯s handwriting to Lord Taiwei, please open it and read it after conquering Chang¡¯an City.¡±
Guo Jia took the handwriting. Although he didn't know what Lin Nan wrote on it, it was easy to tell from Bian Xi's words that the emperor wanted him to command 300,000 troops in the northwest. He smiled, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Bian."
Bian Xi said: "Master Taiwei, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Bian Xi got on his horse and galloped away.
Guo Jia put away the imperial edict and said to Xu Huang: "Congratulations to General Xu for being promoted to general. Now all the troops in the four armies are under the general's command. The emperor has given a deadline of seven days to break the city. Let's make a long story short. Let's discuss breaking it first. City policy."
Xu Huang nodded and said, "That's fine!"

Yizhou, Xicheng.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Zhao Yun personally offered a cup of hot tea and brought it to Lin Nan respectfully.
Zhao Yun was very surprised by Lin Nan's sudden visit. However, in his mind, Lin Nan's personal arrival was definitely not for a special visit to him, but rather for something very important, which made him vaguely feel that the time for him to show off his skills was coming soon.
