Chapter 471: Defending Chang'an(1/2)

When Jin Zhun received the news that Liu Yao led his army to cross Puyang, his younger brother Jin Ming also returned from Guandong.

As soon as he saw Jin Zhun, Jin Ming immediately looked dejected.

"Brother, Qingzhou thieves are cunning and treacherous. They just want to watch us fight with Liu Yao."

The news brought by Jin Ming made Jin Zhun feel very embarrassed.

"Haha, a mere duke with a false name, doesn't intend to accept us at all!"

Jin Zhun did not intend to accept the suggestion that Han Emperor Liu Yu first handed over to Tongguan and then sent reinforcements.

Because he felt that he still had the ability to fight.

Now that King Zhao Liu Yao led his army across the river, he was just taking risks. As long as he steadily defended Chang'an, Liu Yao could not do anything to him.

After the Han army learned the news, they would definitely attack Pingyang.

When it is difficult to take into account both the beginning and the end, Liu Yao will definitely withdraw his troops.

By that time, Jin Zhun can free up his hands to slowly clean up the situation in Guanzhong.

"Hmph, by then, the person who wants to regret it will be Liu Yu!" Jin Zhun said angrily.

After hearing his brother's plan, Jin Ming was still frowning.

"Brother, Liu Yao has always been brave. If he can't hold on, what should he do?" Jin Ming asked.

"As long as you can't stand it, even if Liu Yao is brave, can he fly into Chang'an City?" Jin Zhun had already made plans to set up the turtle formation.

"If Liu Yao conquered the Dingkou troops outside Chang'an City, how should he deal with besieging Chang'an?" Jin Ming continued to ask.

"That's it..." Jin Zhun was speechless for a moment.

He really didn't think about this problem, he just felt that he was under the control of Chang'an.

"Not only that, when the soldiers and horses in Chang'an heard Liu Yao's name, everyone had no intention of fighting. With these people, how could they be reliable even if they defend Chang'an to the death?" Jin Ming said with great concern.

After hearing this, Jin Zhun fell into deep worries.

Their Jin family was just an ordinary powerful force in the left Xiongnu, and was incomparable to the Liu family, which was hereditary to the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu of Bingzhou.

Even though Jin Zhun had already slaughtered all the Xiongnu Liu clans in Chang'an, those Xiongnu tribes who had been the Xiongnu Khan for the rest of their lives still had strange thoughts when they heard the name of Liu Yao.

However, they are now afraid of the troops in the hands of brother Jin Zhun and have no strange actions.

Once Liu Yao leads his army to the city of Chang'an, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no traitors among these people.

As long as one person opens the city gate, Jin Zhun will have his head landed.

"What's the point of Liu's goodness to these stupid slaves? He still refused to give up!" Jin Zhun said hatefully.

"Yes, brother, these people are all fools. Even if they are both kind and powerful, they may not work." Jin Ming was also frowning.

There were a lot of Huns in Chang'an City. As long as two or three more people responded to Liu Yao, it would be enough to open up the city defense and let Liu Yao go straight in.

Sure enough, things were just as the Jin Zhun brothers were worried.

Jin Zhun had sent the Xiongnu soldiers who had blocked King Liu Yao of Zhao before. After seeing Liu Yao's flag, they all turned against each other and killed the chief general appointed by Jin Zhun, and more than 10,000 people surrendered to Liu Yao.

Upon hearing this news, Jin Zhun was immediately frightened and unable to sleep or eat.

In order to conquer the hearts of the Huns in Chang'an City, Jin Jun rewarded the Huns soldiers and horses in the city three times within one day.

Most of the money and silk in Chang'an treasury were almost emptied.

But even so, his subordinates also received rewards from time to time. Hun soldiers often secretly left the city to surrender to the approaching King Liu Yao of Zhao.

After Jin Zhun received the news, he was immediately furious.

"I'm going to order all troops to escape if any soldiers from each unit flee, they will be severely punished!"

Jin Zhun summoned the Chang'an defenders to declare his latest military strategy.

"Wu Shi escaped the soldiers, then severely punish the Chief of the Soldier. If the Chief of the Soldier escapes, then severely punish the commander of the brigade. If he escapes at the last minute, he will never tolerate it!"

Faced with Jin Zhun's aggressive military order, the generals immediately shouted to accept the order.

Jin Zhun thought that such a harsh military law would always allow officers of all sizes to restrain their soldiers from escaping.

I never expected it!

On the first day after the military order was implemented, not only did the number of Hun soldiers who fled from Chang'an City did not decrease, but even doubled.

Often after a soldier escapes, in order not to be severely punished, Soldier Shi must run away, whether he wants to escape or not.

As soon as the sergeant escaped, the brigade coach above often fled to escape punishment.

"What? More than a thousand people escaped in one day today?"

After receiving the news, Jin Zhun almost fainted.

"Yes, brother, this method is not good. It's just a gift to Liu Yao."

The Jin Ming and Jin Kang brothers all complained.

"However, brother, don't worry, there are many people outside the city who hide in the city, and there are not many Ding Zhuang who guard the city."

Jin Kang's subsequent words rekindled hope for the disheartened Jin Zhun.

After hearing this, Jin Zhun's heart moved and his eyes flashed.

"What? You say it again?"

Jin Kang was slightly surprised, and he was startled by his brother's reaction.

"Brother, I mean that although many soldiers of this clan fled, many people outside the city ran in to the city every day." Jin Kang said.

"Hahaha, so that's how it can be!" Jin Zhun immediately laughed.

Jin Ming and Jin Kang looked at each other, wondering how happy Jin Zhun was.

"Sure enough, the Huns were all ignorant. If they didn't follow me and turned to the light and seek a way out, they would actually follow Liu Yao and wait for death. It was hopeless!"

After Jin Zhun laughed, he said with evil intentions on his face.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Jin Ming felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"Since these Huns want to die, they will no longer stop them!"

Jin Zhun said imposingly.

"Immediately send an order to Chang'an City. No matter whether it is the Huns, Jin people, Western Region Hu, or other Qiang and Hu, it will no longer be prohibited from entering or leaving. Anyone who wants to leave or enter the city will no longer be prohibited!"

After hearing Jin Zhun's crazy decision, his two younger brothers were shocked.

"Brother, how can this be done? How many of us Huns have to escape."

Jin Ming felt that if this happens, at least about 30% of the Huns would have to escape.

"Yes, brother, the people outside the city were all afraid of Liu Yao's plunder and killing, and they didn't have much courage. If they were defending the city, they would be afraid that they would be useless."

Jin Kang said anxiously.

Jin Zhun said unshakably when he heard this.

"What are you afraid of! Open the door and let them come and go freely."

"By my estimate, at most 30% of the Huns left, and the remaining 600% are all in the same mind as us!"

"Without those hidden repetitive people, it will be more conducive to defending Chang'an City!"

"There are few people who are so strong that they will be defeated by external enemies, which are often caused by internal troubles."

"Now we have eliminated internal troubles in advance, and by the time Liu Yao led his army, it will be even more foolproof."

What Jin Zhun said seemed to make sense, but Jin Ming and Jin Kang were still uneasy.

As for the uneasiness, it is difficult to express.

"Also, these people outside the city are afraid of Liu Yao's tiger and wolf soldiers. Once they enter the city, they will definitely obey orders, and this will make them have a point of chance of victory."

Jin Zhun said this, and seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I remember that Gou Xi's troops are not far from Chang'an, right?"

"Gou Xi's troops are in Chuli." Jin Ming said.

"Gou Xi is a famous general, so he must win over it!"

"Send someone to summon Gou Xi to Chang'an. Even if I am willing to be communicating with his brothers, Wanhu Hou and General Fang Zhen will never treat him unfairly."

Jin Zhun said immediately.

"But, okay, brother."

Jin Ming just wanted to express his disagreement. After all, the Jin Zhun brothers were already going to defect to the Guandong Han Kingdom, and Gou Xi's younger brother died under Liu Yu back then.

However, Jin Ming thought again, what is the love of a brotherhood in this unpredictable age?

So I just shut up and stopped talking.

The next day.

Jin Zhun ordered the whole city to open four gates, allowing the soldiers inside and outside to enter and exit freely without any obstruction.
