Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Although Chang'an is anxious, it cannot take the initiative to attack this battle. It must lead the snake out of the hole. It cannot arouse the vigilance of Li Jue and Guo Si. Otherwise, they will lead a large army and it will be difficult for Chang'an to rescue him."

Zhang He hurriedly said, "Please make an announcement."

Zhang Liao summoned Huang Zhong again and ordered: "This battlefield cannot be placed outside Chang'an. We must first lure the enemy troops through Bashui and lead them to Jingzhao Yin to annihilate them."

He paused and said, "You can send people to Chang'an to spread news, saying that Zuo Fengyi allocated 100,000 stones of grain and grass and more than ten carts of medicinal materials to Jingzhao Yin to provide disaster relief and cure the plague. He was in Baling City, and then used carts to load stones for food and grass and medicinal materials to pretend to be food and grass and medicinal materials, and only one thousand soldiers and horses for protection. The Hu soldiers are plundering. Now the most lacking is food and grass, and the most feared is plague. I think that when he hears the news about grain and grass and medicinal materials, one thousand grain guards are enough to pull him.

There were two thousand people, and even all of them. One of Ru led the troops to ambush the side, and the other led the troops to ambush the back. When they entered the ambush circle, they attacked each other forward and backward, and the swords and arrows were fired at once. They were determined to leave them all in Jingzhao Yin, and then spread news that they had robbed in Guandong. As long as the battlefield was not in Chang'an, Li Jue and Guo Si would not be too vigilant. They only thought that they were the Hu soldiers who took the initiative to attack and failed to steal food, and there would be no other doubts."

Huang Zhong and Zhang He couldn't help but praise each other: "Lord is such a wonderful plan!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "You and both are good generals with both wisdom and courage. This time I only come up with this plan to lure and set up an ambush, and let you and you act."

Hearing Zhang Liao's orders, the two looked at each other and said in unison: "The last general will take the order!"

The situation in Chang'an was urgent, so Zhang He sent people to pretend to be a bandit in Jingzhao that day, saying that Baling had food and grass and wealthy families to provide relief, so he went outside Chang'an City to invite Hu soldiers to plunder and share the spoils.

As Zhang Liao expected, the Hu soldiers were in a hurry to lack food and grass, and they all had their stomachs half full. When they heard that Baling had food and grass, they immediately sent people to inquire. The scouts saw countless carriages in Baling, some set up sheds to put porridge, a thousand guards, and some scouts mixed in with the people to eat a big bowl. When they found out some "accurate" news, they immediately returned it.

At dawn on the second day, only 200 Hu soldiers left behind in the west camp of Chang'an City. All the rest came out to attack Baling and rob food and grass.

Then Zhang He, who had been ambushing, rushed out of the flank Lifang, and bows and arrows were launched at the same time, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded him. The bandits were in chaos and fled in a hurry, but Huang Zhong led his personal guards behind him blocked the Baqiao, cut off the rear route, and killed more than a thousand people, and all the rest surrendered.

Later, Zhang He and Huang Zhong pretended to be bandits and received food and returned to the camp, and easily controlled the 200 Hu soldiers left behind in the west of Chang'an City. There was no movement, and no Hu soldiers fled.

After controlling the camp, Zhang He divided thousands of troops into pretending to be Hu soldiers and continued to block the west line of the city and intercept any news from Chang'an to Youfufeng.

Zhang Liao brought troops, military doctors and young men into Chang'an City.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the tragic phenomenon of Chang'an City still shocked Zhang Liao and the soldiers. The streets were filled with corpses and hungry people, and there were countless people in the Lifang.

Most of these miserable people were from Liangzhou. Li Jue and Guo Si moved from Liangzhou forcibly, and most of the people in Chang'an had already fled to Zuo Fengyi.

The Weiyang Palace, which was originally repaired in the south of the city, was in a mess. The food and grass inside were looted, and many books were torn and eaten by hungry people. Many palaces were burned by Li Jue and Guo Si when they left. The officials left behind died of illness and fell ill. The former Grand Marshal Zhou Zhong and the Shangshu Ling Shi Sun Rui were also infected. However, they still tried their best to organize some young and strong men to gather the patients together to isolate the patients, which provided great convenience for Zhang Liao's treatment.

The surviving court officials all burst into tears when they saw Zhang Liao, the former Sili Captain, came over.

Zhang Liao asked Zhang Zhongjing, military doctors and soldiers to act quickly, and more than ten streets started construction at the same time, quarantined, set up pots, boiled water, cooked porridge, and boiled medicine. Zhang Liao ordered all the soldiers and officials to go to the streets and lifangs to shout.

As horse-drawn carriages carried food in, snow-white steamed buns went down, making the hungry officials and people immediately full of energy, snatching food frantically and kowtow to thank them.

In the side hall, Shi Sun Rui and Zhou Zhong and other sick ministers took medicine and ate steamed buns and burst into tears.

"General." Shi Sun Rui, with the support of his son Shi Sun Meng, bowed to Zhang Liao and choked and said, "If it weren't for the general, there would be no living in this Chang'an City. Rui represents the officials and people of Chang'an to thank the general for their kindness!"

Zhang Liao hurriedly helped him up: "Uncle Shi, don't want this."

"We are grateful to General!" More than 30 officials in the hall followed Shi Sun Rui and bowed to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao hurriedly returned the gift: "You really don't have to be polite about this matter."

Shi Sun Rui said: "Now your Majesty and the Dukes have been kidnapped by Li Jue and Guo Si and other thieves. The three Dukes are not here. Chang'an regards the general as the general. I also ask the general to take charge of the overall situation and welcome the emperor back."

"Please take charge of the overall situation and welcome the emperor back!" The ministers bowed again.

"Please get up, everyone." Zhang Liao stood up and said, "Since I was loved by all the princes, Liao was the main business for the time being. If my son was kidnapped by Li Jue and Guo Si today, there were also a 100,000 troops on his side, and the You Fufeng had a total of nearly 200,000 troops. It was difficult to make a decision. Moreover, the emperor became a thief. If he was eager to attack, he was afraid that they would harm the emperor. Therefore, he could only stabilize Chang'an first and then look for opportunities to act."

When Shi Sun Rui and other ministers heard that there were 200,000 soldiers and horses at You Fufeng, they all changed their faces and were silent for a moment. Shi Sun Rui said: "The general is a loyal and righteous man. How to act is all based on the General's District."

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "For the sake of the present, all the sick should take medicine to recuperate. The rest will organize the rescue of the surviving people in the city. There will inevitably be a big battle in Chang'an City, and there is no food in the city. It is difficult to move from other places. I am even more afraid of being robbed. Therefore, I have to move the people out of Chang'an in order to abandon their worries and fight with Li Guo!"

"Here." The ministers had no other choice at this time. Seeing that Zhang Liao had a good schedule, they all bowed and answered their orders.

In the following time, Zhang Liao organized migration while treating the people. Because he didn't know about Li Jue and Guo Si, he didn't leave much time for them.

There were many corpses in the city. Zhang Liao had prepared a lot and made thousands of stretchers to clean up the Hu soldiers captured in Baling and carry them out of the city to bury them in order to prevent the secondary epidemic.

The tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City survived less than 10,000. They migrated within one day and settled in Jingzhao Yin and Zuo Fengyi.

Chang'an City was empty, and then 100,000 stones of grain and grass were transferred from the Wei River and transported into Chang'an City.

Another young man transported stones and wood from all over the place to the city gate and moved them to the city.

There were also soldiers who brought a carriage, crossbow, and thunderbolt chariot.

Chang'an has a tall city. Since Zhang Liao occupied it, he was not ready to give up. As long as there was enough food and supplies, he could withstand 10,000 troops with ten thousand troops.
