Chapter two hundred and sixty fifth ghosts
These two men spread rumors of defeat in front of them while gathering their troops.
The flag of "Duan" was hung along the way. The general was Duan Jin, the legitimate grandson of Duan Jin. He brought thousands of elite soldiers with full murderous aura and forced the Liangzhou soldiers to conquer Liangzhou. Along the way, the Qiang and Hu soldiers in Liangzhou were afraid of their momentum and respected the reputation of the former Taiwei Duan Jin, and had to follow him. In a few days, Duan Jin gathered more than 10,000 people.
The other one was hung with the "Zhonglang General Xu". This flag is also well-known among the people of Liangzhou and is very familiar. Especially the soldiers and horses that were dispersed after Song Yi was defeated were all Xu Rong's old subordinates. Xu Rong was more capable of recruiting them, faster than Duan Jin, and 20,000 people were passed in a few days.
The Qiang and Hu soldiers from Hongnong to Chang'an were like a long snake, with a 300-mile range. In addition, the situation was chaotic, many Qiang and Hu soldiers fled halfway. Therefore, Duan Jin and Xu Rong gathered the Qiang and Hu soldiers in the rear. At this time, Hu Zhen, Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were surrounded outside Chang'an City were completely unaware of it, and they just stepped up the construction of siege equipment.
On the second day of the June 2nd, several major generals including Hu Zhen, Li Jue, Guo Si, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji gathered in the camp outside Anmen Gate of Chang'an City to discuss matters.
Hu Zhen sat on the upper head, looked around, looking around, looking a little anxious: "Everyone, now we are besieging Chang'an, but the troops are scattered, with nearly 70,000 or 80,000 people, which is difficult to command. The city of Chang'an is tall and strong, and it is difficult to break through within ten days. We marched again in a hurry, without food and grass, and the soldiers are hungry, which may be difficult to last."
Guo Si was originally a horse thief. He laughed and said, "There is no food and grass, so you just need to grab some. Guanzhong is rich, and Chang'an is even more wealthy, which is enough to provide."
Li Jue snorted: "But the court dared to spread the news of our attack on Chang'an in advance, and ordered 80% of the wealthy and untouchables near Chang'an to flee to Youfufeng and Zuo Fengyi. Every family was empty, so it was quite difficult to collect food and grass nearby."
Hu Zhen hesitated and said, "There are countless grains in Dong Gong's Muye. I have found out the news that now that Dong Gong is dead, the Muye is under the hands of the bandit Hu Jinghui. Chang'an has not been able to break through and obtain food and grass. If we divide our troops to break the Muye, then the food and grass will be enough to supply."
"This..." Zhang Ji shook his head and said, "There is more than 260 miles away from the Qiwu. It takes five or six days for the army to come and go. Moreover, there are troops to attack. After breaking the Qiwu, they still have to transport food and grass. In this way, it is difficult to obtain food and grass without ten or half a month. How could our soldiers be able to endure for ten days?"
Guo Si said with a singing voice: "This is not OK, that is not OK. Without food and grass, I will catch some people and cook them. Now is the critical time. I will never give up until I capture Chang'an!"
"Eat people?" The others were shocked.
Jia Xu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "For the sake of the present, as long as we break Chang'an City as soon as possible, all difficulties will be insignificant."
Hu Zhen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "I don't know what Wenhe has to do?"
Jia Xu said: "Chang'an City is tall and strong. If it is a strong attack, there is no hope. Our troops are ten times as strong as Chang'an. We can only divide our troops to harass each other every day, so that the soldiers guarding the city are exhausted and fearful. Most of the imperial guards in Chang'an City are recruited after Gong Dong enters the pass. They come from all prefectures and counties. The combat power is not strong and the army is uneven. They can be rumored to be killed. The people of Bingzhou will harm Gong Dong. Therefore, only the people of Bingzhou will be killed, and the rest will not ask. As long as they force and persuade them to surrender, there will be those who secretly surrender. At that time, they can cooperate inside and outside to break through Chang'an."
Jia Xu paused and said, "When the generals attack the city, they can find out the origins of the guards of each city gate. If they have any knowledge, they can contact us secretly to persuade them to surrender."
"Okay! Very good!" Hu Zhenxi said: "With this clever plan, Chang'an City will not last long."
Li Jue and Guo Si were also very happy.
Zhang Ji suddenly asked, "If Chang'an is broken, how can we meet the emperor?"
As soon as these words were said, the other people's eyes flashed, their expressions were different, and their own ideas were different.
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "In the past, Duke Dong used the capital of a tyrant and abolished the emperor, which even caused the princes of the world to raise troops and attack, and even suffered such great defeat. Our civil and military rule are not as good as Duke Dong, so we should not easily move the Han Dynasty."
The few people were silent for a while, and then nodded one after another.
Li Jue's eyes flashed with fierce light: "What should I do with old Wang Yun?"
Jia Xu said lightly: "The emperor should not be deceived, Wang Yun should not be kept, and Yuan's disciples should not be reused."
"Okay!" Hu Zhen said loudly: "If you break through Chang'an, you will act according to Wenhe's words."
On the third day of June, dozens of ladders were successfully built. Liangzhou people besieged the twelve gates of Chang'an, attacked wildly, and harassed them at night. There were few imperial guards in Chang'an City and there was no room for shifts. Under the attack and harassment of Liangzhou people, the soldiers guarding the city were exhausted.
Soon, another rumor came again. The people of Liangzhou respected the emperor and attacked Chang'an City just to avenge him. Because Lu Bu and Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, the people of Liangzhou only killed the people of Bingzhou. If the soldiers of other prefectures and counties surrendered, they would not ask any questions.
Ji Ping was always paying attention to the offensive and defensive situation in the city. Seeing this, he immediately sent someone to secretly remind Lu Bu to pay attention to the rebellion of the soldiers guarding the city. In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Lu Bu was also afraid of this, but the problem was that the imperial guards had been controlled by Dong Huang, and Lu Bu took over the imperial guards for only more than a month, and his control over the imperial guards was not so effective. At this time, the people in Chang'an City were panic, and he could not predict who might be rebelled.
...
In Chang'an City, in that house, Ji Ping looked solemn. Chang'an City was intimidated by tens of thousands of Liangzhou people and rumors spread, and I am afraid it will not last long.
Duan Jin, Xu Huang and others are still integrating their troops and wanting to form combat power to come to Chang'an to support him. I am afraid there will be one or two days left. Now Ji Ping can only hope that Chang'an City can hold on for two days, and also hope that Wang Hong, who has returned from Youfufeng to defend, can restrain some of the troops of Liangzhou people.
If he could hold on for two days, and when Duan Jin, Xu Huang and others led their troops to come, Chang'an City would be saved. If the inner city was broken in one or two days, he would have to fight street battles, and people like him would probably be exposed.
With the strength of Dian Wei's Tiger Camp and Geng Zhong's Ghost Shadow Guard, he was not very worried. Even though Liangzhou people were fierce, they fought in the streets in the city. Dian Wei's 400 Tiger Guards and Geng Zhong's 6000 Ghost Shadow Guards were enough to protect them from rushing out of Chang'an and killing a way out. But the only thing he was worried about was Tang Wan's body. You must know that he was most afraid of trouble in the early stages of pregnancy. If he was not careful, he might have a miscarriage.
But in fact, you are afraid of whatever you are, because fear of things is often speculation that it is likely to happen.
On the fourth night of June, Ji Ping had not yet rested and was discussing the current situation with Tian Feng. Suddenly, Geng Zhong came to report that many soldiers were found near the house, about 600 people, and they looked like Sili.
Sili? What are they doing? Ji Ping frowned slightly.
