Chapter 24: Soldiers are approaching Chang'an

"General Guo can't help but think that the Son of Heaven is too simple, you must know that Lu Bu is now loyal to the Son of Heaven, with his bravery, who among us can be the enemy?" Zhang Ji said with a slight mockery.

"Why does General Zhang want to destroy his own prestige?" Guo Yan heard this, and glared at Zhang Ji with some displeasure: "Although Lu Bu is strong, he is only one person, a few of us have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there is Chang'an City to defend, even if Lu Bu has the invincible combat power of 10,000 households, can he still break through my Chang'an City?"

"I can only say that the Son of Heaven is not so simple, otherwise he would not be able to subdue a fierce general like Lu Bu. Zhang Jidao.

"I don't have to say anything superfluous, in short, if we don't go to war with the imperial court this time, we will be dead. Guo Yan's eyes were glowing with cold, and he had already decided to fight Liu Xie to the death.

"I agree with General Guo's words, fight to the death, we have the backing of several counties in Liangzhou, and Chang'an City to defend it, even if the strength of the imperial court is strong, it is impossible to break through it in a short time. Li Dao said.

"That's good. ”

"Now let's divide the defense of the four city gates of Chang'an. Guo Yan glanced at everyone, and already regarded himself as the commander.

"I led an army of 50,000 to guard the main gate of Chang'an, and the imperial army confronted it head-on, General Li Wei led an army of 50,000 to guard the west gate, General Xu Rong to guard the south gate, and General Zhang Ji to guard the east gate. ”

"What do you think of this allocation?" asked Guo Yan.

"Yes, we can do our best to guard the court so that there is no door to break through each other, and there is no gap between each other, the iron bucket is general, and the court has no way to break the city. Xu Rong nodded in agreement.

"Since we are now both prosperous and loss-making, then Ben will say another ugly word, and if anyone dares to turn his arm outward, then he will not blame Ben for being ruthless. Guo Yan said coldly, his gaze swept over Xu Rong and them, but the focus was still fixed on Zhang Ji's body for a moment.

After all, if Zhang Ji wanted to surrender and sue for peace before, he would inevitably be noticed by Guo Yan.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed.

After such a long march, the 150,000 army commanded by Liu Xie also came to the city of Chang'an.

The former ancient capital of the Han Dynasty was also in sight in Liu Xie's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an City is only five miles away from here, dare to ask Your Majesty whether to attack directly, or how?" Lu Bu came to Liu Xie's side and asked respectfully.

"Tell the army to camp in the same place, rest for one night, and attack the city tomorrow. Liu Xiewei ordered.

"Obey. Lu Bu immediately went down to deliver the message.

The army was repaired and encamped.

Under the arrangement of Jia Xu, the army division, camping is also quite in line with the art of war, which can advance or retreat, defend and defend, and put an end to any stealing camp by Dong Zhuo's remnants.

The center of the camp, in the main account of the center.

The congregation will be gathered.

Liu Xie sat on the main seat, exuding an aura of not being angry and arrogant, and all the ministers below were in awe.

"Chang'an City is only five miles, and you can attack the city tomorrow, but according to the report from the spies, Guo Yan has gathered Li Dao and Xu Rong, so there are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, if you attack it, my Han's chances of winning are not high, after all, they are defending the city. Zhang Liao told the battle situation.

"Only by leading them out of the city and fighting, our army can defeat them in one fell swoop. Lu Bu said loudly.

"Feng Xian, when this battle is over, you can read me more about the art of war and strategy. Liu Xie raised his head and looked at Lu Budao.

"Your Majesty, why do you want your ministers to study?" Lu Bu said with some taste.

"Because you are a reckless man, you can't see the truth clearly, and if you continue like this, you will suffer sooner or later. ”

"Wenhe, you come and explain it to him. Liu Xie said lightly.

"Obey. Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu amusedly, then looked around at everyone and said: "Although Li Ru, the smartest under Dong Zhuo, is dead, Guo Yan and they are not stupid, and they know that the consequences of going out of the city to fight against each other are a dead end, so it can be expected that they will not go out of the city, but will not be able to defend the city." ”

"Since they do not come out, then we will storm the city, and I will be the vanguard and break through the gates. Lu Bu continued, still looking fearless.

"As a general, you can't choose the soldiers under your command with your own bravery, you said that it is simple to storm the city, 200,000 troops are garrisoned, how many people will die to break through the city gate?" Liu Xie glared at Lu Bu and scolded.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister understands. ”

Lu Bu thought about it, and seemed to have thought of the consequences of storming the city, which must be a sea of corpses and blood, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

If it is really attacked, the 150,000 army will inevitably lose nearly half, which is in the hands of Guo Yan and them.

"Wenhe, what is your strategy for this situation?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with a sense of test.

"The strategy that the minister can think of, Your Majesty must have thought of it. Jia Xu's eyes were full of penetrating wisdom.

"Wenhe, don't sell it, just say it. Lu Bu was impatient.

"This battle to destroy Dong Zhuo's remnants lies in the battle of attacking the heart, and the focus is on the word attacking the heart. Jia Xu smiled confidently, strategizing.

"How do you attack the heart?" Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals all looked at Jia Xu.

"When Dong Zhuo died, only Hua Xiong and Fan Chou followed him in Luoyang, and Guo Yan and they were all in various counties in Sizhou, as soon as Dong Zhuo died, they all fled knowing that there was no good result, but the Xiliang soldiers under their command must not know that Dong Zhuo was dead, because of such a major event that affected the morale of the army, Guo Yan They will definitely try their best to cover it up. ”

"This is the point. Jia Xu smiled and looked at everyone and said.

"I understand that spreading the news of Dong Zhuo's death in Chang'an City can greatly affect Guo Yan and other armies, and their morale will be greatly damaged. Lu Bu clapped his hands and smiled excitedly.
