    One day after Li Jue, Guo Si and Yang Ding besieged the city, on the night of May 29th, under the secret guidance of Ji Ping, L¨¹ Bu attacked from the east to the west. He placed the banner with the word "L¨¹" on the Nan'an Gate of Chang'an City, beat drums and rumbled, as if  He wanted to rush out to fight and attract the most elite troops of Li Jue and Guo Si outside the city.  As for Lu Bu himself, he secretly led two thousand elite troops to secretly attack from the Hengmen in the north of the city.  In this battle, Lu Bu defeated Yang Ding's troops outside the city. There were some new soldiers among Yang Ding's troops, and their combat strength was uneven. Unexpectedly, Chang'an City dared to take the initiative to attack. At night, they were not fully prepared, and the brave Lu Bu led his troops to charge directly.  Collapse.  When Li Jue and Guo Si heard the news and rushed over hesitantly, Lu Bu not only defeated Yang Ding's 2,500 soldiers and horses guarding outside Hengmen, but also defeated a thousand reinforcements who came from the neighboring Yongmen in the northwest.  Take advantage of the courage to pursue the other gate next to it, Zhengbeichu City Gate.  Both Hengmen and Chucheng Gate are located in the north of Chang'an City, close to the Wei River.  When Lu Bu was fighting Hengmen, under Ji Ping's dispatch, Pan Feng also crossed the river from the north of the Wei River and attacked the Cucheng Gate directly. When L¨¹ Bu arrived, he and Pan Feng were already attacking the Cucheng Gate, and the Cucheng Gate was also in chaos.  In the middle of the night, countless Liangzhou soldiers jumped into the Wei River crying, and most of the remaining soldiers were killed. Some soldiers were gathered up by a special figure who followed Pan Feng, the former lieutenant under Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong.  Secretly retreated to the north bank of the Weihe River.  By the time Li Jue and Guo Si's cavalry arrived at Hengmen, Lu Bu and Pan Feng had already defeated the Liangzhou soldiers outside the Kitchen City Gate, and then headed east along the north city wall to directly attack the Luo City Gate.  During the battle between Hengmen and Chucheng Gate, the guard inside Luo City Gate had long been trusted. The guard here was Lu Bu's subordinate Song Xian. When Lu Bu and Pan Feng arrived to fight outside Luo City Gate, Song Xian opened the city gate.  Lead the troops to rush out, and cooperate with the inside and outside.  The Liangzhou soldiers outside Luocheng Gate dispersed faster.  By the time Li Jue and Guo Si felt outside the gate of Luo City, Lu Bu had already calmly entered the city through the gate of Luo City, while Pan Feng had already crossed the Wei River in a boat prepared in advance.  Although Li Jue and Guo Si had cavalry.  But there was nothing I could do, late at night.  Not even daring to pursue them randomly, they had no choice but to give up and allocate some troops to besiege the three gates of Chang'an North City.  In this battle, Yang Ding was lucky and escaped again. However, all the more than 8,000 soldiers under him who besieged the three gates of Chang'an North City were defeated. The casualties and casualties were countless and they fled. When dawn tried to gather the remaining soldiers, they found that there were less than 500.  What they don¡¯t know is.  In addition to the eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers who were killed or drowned by jumping into the Wei River, there were nearly two thousand defeated soldiers who were secretly gathered by Xu Rong.  Xu Rong was originally from Xuantu, Liaodong. He was recruited to conquer the Yellow Turbans. Because of his extraordinary bravery, he was promoted and re-employed by Dong Zhuo. However, he was not of the same faction as Hu Zhen, Li Jue, Guo Si and other Liangzhou people under Dong Zhuo.  The people of the state ostracized him, and Dong Zhuo died.  Xu Rong was surrendered by Wang Yun, and after the Liangzhou people raised their troops, Xu Rong was sent by Wang Yun to appease Hu Zhen who had invaded Jingzhaoyin.  In fact, Xu Rong has been targeted by Ji Ping for a long time.  This man under Dong Zhuo was also the only general Ji Ping wanted to recruit. When Xu Rong was sent to the city by Wang Yun, Ji Ping sent the Shadow Division to secretly contact Xu Rong, warning him to be careful to prevent Hu Zhen from turning his back on him. Sure enough, Xu Rong arrived in Beijing.  Zhao, without saying a word, was directly ordered to be attacked by Hu Zhen.  Xu Rong, who had been well prepared, escaped with the help of Pan Feng.  He was not recognized by the people of Liangzhou, but also ostracized by Wang Yunliang.  He could only submit to Ji Ping and follow Pan Feng.  Night battle in the north of Chang'an City.  Xu Rong took the opportunity to use his reputation in Dong Zhuo's army to gather the defeated troops, but he also gained a lot.  In addition, the most outstanding person in this battle is Gao Shun. After several years of secret training and fighting, Gao Shun's Seven Hundred Traps camp has taken initial shape. In this battle, they are invincible, even defeating the Liangzhou people.  The defensive line made Lu Bu almost invincible when charging into the battle.  After Lu Bu returned to the city after his victory, the morale in Chang'an City was greatly boosted. The people rushed to celebrate, and even Wang Yun's serious face had a smile.  On May 30th, Lu Bu wanted to repeat his old tricks again, but at this time, a force of nearly ten thousand people came from Zuo Fengyi in the north. It was Dong Zhuo's old general Zhang Ji.  Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses were battle-hardened and extremely fierce, far beyond what Yang Ding's miscellaneous soldiers could match. Lu Bu tried an attack out of the city, but the harvest was not great, but he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and had to return to Chang'an.  On the first day of June, Hu Zhen led 60,000 Liangzhou infantrymen who arrived day and night. The Liangzhou people became more powerful and surrounded Chang'an City.  Outside the city of Chang'an, war horses were neighing. There were 70,000 to 80,000 people densely packed there. There were also a steady stream of Liangzhou people coming from the direction of Guandong. At this time, even as brave as Lu Bu did not dare to leave the city. The two people that Liangzhou people hated the most were him and  Wang Yun, if he rushes out of the city, he may be immediately besieged to death and eaten alive.  Fortunately, the city wall of Chang'an was very tall. Even though there were 70,000 to 80,000 people from Liangzhou, it would be difficult to break into the city without siege equipment.  After Hu Zhen arrived, he was followed closely by Jia Xu, plus Zhang Ji,Jue, Guo Si, Yang Ding, and other Liangzhou generals swore an alliance and vowed to avenge Dong Zhuo.  Among them, Hu Zhen originally had the highest position, being Zhonglang General. The other generals were all school lieutenants. Moreover, Hu Zhen had the largest number of troops, several times that of the other generals. However, among the Liangzhou infantry he brought, there were also many old troops from Li Jue and Guo Si.  , only the infantry and cavalry were separated from Luoyang, and now they are under the command of Li Jue and Guo Bin. The power of Jia Xu and Zhang Ji is not much weaker, so except for Hu Zhen, whose status is slightly higher, the status of the others is considered equal.  If Ji Ping knew about it, he would know that this was different from the original history and was greatly influenced by him. In the original history, Dong Yue was not killed, and Hedong was in the hands of Dong Zhuo, so Guandong did not need many generals.  , Hu Zhen stayed in Chang'an instead of Guandong. After Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, Hu Zhen also surrendered to Wang Yun.  After Li Jue and Guo Si raised an army, Wang Yun sent Hu Zhen and Xu Rong to Xinfeng County to fight against Li Guo. Xu Rong died in the battle and Hu Zhen surrendered.  After the surrender, he naturally had no status. On the subsequent stage, Hu Zhen also disappeared.  In the end, Jia Xu retreated behind the scenes, and Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji became the four leaders of the Liangzhou people, and they were rampant for a while.  ??But it is different now. Dong Yue, who originally guarded Mianchi, was killed by Ji Ping early, and Fan Chou was also killed. Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to Guandong. Hu Zhen had the military power and gained his current status.  Tens of thousands of Liangzhou people besieged Chang'an City, but they suffered from the lack of siege equipment. Even though the troops in the city were weak, they had to stop outside the city. The elite cavalry could not play a big role in the siege.  So, the Liangzhou people forcibly recruited strong men from all around to build ladders and other siege equipment, which took several days.  Lu Bu was in the city watching the Liangzhou people building equipment outside the city, but he was helpless.  When the Liangzhou people invaded Guanzhong, they were basically a swarm of tens of thousands of people. After defeating Song Yi, the original Xu Rong troops surrendered. Many Liangzhou Qiang and Hu soldiers had no time to organize themselves, so they were crowded and rushed to Chang'an.  Hu Zhen was not a capable general. In this chaotic situation, he was unable to control the soldiers. Even the original organization became scattered during the day and night journey.  Even though Jia Xu was resourceful, he was helpless in the face of a swarm of Qiang and Hu soldiers. After all, there were 100,000 soldiers.  When Hu Zhen rushed to Chang'an City, he didn't know that behind them, there were already two more banners unknowingly, and they were constantly gathering the scattered Qiang and Hu soldiers and gradually growing stronger.
