When Zhang Liao heard Xiahou Yun say this, he couldn't help but blood gushing up on his head, he straightened up and said, "Since we know that the thieves are about to destroy the human souls, how can we stand idly by?" Zhang begged the two of them to lend me 500 soldiers and horses to go to Beijing to destroy the thieves. ”

"Five hundred soldiers?" Xiahou Yun couldn't help but sneered and said: "Captain Zhang Qidu, do you want me to remind you, the thief soldiers have an army of seventy or eighty thousand outside the Beijing Division, let alone give you five hundred soldiers and horses, even if you give you five thousand soldiers and horses, you will hit the stone with an egg and seek your own death." ”

Zhang Liao was just momentarily angry, and after listening to Xiahou Yun's words, he felt that she was very reasonable. At the beginning, Lu Bu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were defeated by Li Guo and the others, and in the end, only a few thousand people fled into the capital. And his thousands of soldiers and horses were also lost in this melee. Thinking of this, he bowed his head gloomily and remained silent.

Seeing Zhang Liao's expression, Xiahou Yun felt that what he had just said was a little too serious, which hurt Zhang Liao's self-esteem, and hurriedly said: "Captain Qidu, the purpose of our arrival here is to take the holy car to escape from danger when the city is broken. As long as you escort the holy car to Jizhou with us, it will be a great achievement. ”

Zhang Liao's heart was like ashes at the moment, he didn't care about anything big or not, he turned around and left the tent as soon as he bowed his hand to Dian Wei and Xiahou Yun.

After Zhang Liao left, Xiahou Yun and Dian Wei discussed a few words, and then said to the two messengers: "You two return to the city as soon as possible, and tell the frustrated prison army that from tomorrow night, we will send people to observe the movements of the Jingshi at any time, and once we find that there is chaos in the city, we will rush to the east of the city to meet the holy driver." For the sake of safety, I will not write to the frustrated prison army. ”

The two messengers agreed, turned and walked out of the big tent, and hurried back to Beijing to report the news.

For the next two days, the city and the city were uneventful, and the vigilance at the west gate gradually became lax. Seeing this, Li Meng and Wang Fang began to discuss the matter of opening the door and letting Li Dao and others enter the city.

Wang Fang said: "Although the defenders of the West Gate, in the eyes of outsiders, are all the old troops of Dong Taishi. But you and I should understand in our hearts that there has always been a contradiction between Gao Shun's Bingzhou Army and our Liangzhou Army. Now there are only 800 people in the old department of you and me, and if they are discovered by Gao Shun's subordinates when the door is opened, they will inevitably fall into a bitter battle. ”

"That's right," Li Meng nodded, "Gao Shun's men and horses have five or six thousand men, and if we are surrounded by them, there will inevitably be a danger of annihilation, and we must let them take care of themselves when we open the door." ”

Wang Fang waited for Li Meng to finish speaking, thought for a while, and then said: "Tonight is the day to open the door and dedicate the city, at that time, I will bring people to entangle Gao Shun, you go and send a signal outside the city, so that General Zhiran can quickly lead his troops into the city." ”

Just when Li Meng and Wang Fang were discussing how to open the city to welcome Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, they were in the camp outside the city. Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are also preparing intensively.

Originally, according to Jia Xu's intention, after seeing the signal at the head of the city, Li Bei led 5,000 cavalry to rush in first, quickly occupied the city gate, and then Li Wei's army swarmed in again. But after hearing this, Li Wei waved his hand and said to Jia Xu: "The difference between the military advisor's words, since Li Meng, Wang Fang and others are ready to open the door and dedicate the city, then we don't need to draw snakes and send cavalry to occupy the city gate, but the army rushed in and killed them by surprise." Seeing that Li Wei had made up his mind, Jia Xu no longer persuaded him, but took the initiative to take on the task of staying behind.

Li Dao saw that half an hour later would be the appointed time, so he issued an order: "The people are ranked, the horses pick up the bells, go out of the camp in turn, and rush to the direction of the West Gate to standby." After the order was issued, he said to Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, "When the fire breaks out in the city, you will also attack the city from the north and south respectively, and after breaking through the city gate, you will quickly rush to the palace to join us." ”

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou got up and agreed, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Li Wei turned his head and said to Guo Yan: "The two of us personally led the army and entered the city from the West Gate!" ”

…………

Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Li Meng and Wang Fang took their subordinates and marched towards the west gate. Although they encountered two groups of patrols on the road, they saw that the leaders were Li Meng and Wang Fang, and thought that they were leading troops to patrol the city.

Ever since Gao Shun learned that Li Meng and Wang Fang had colluded with Li Wei outside the city, he had been sending people to monitor outside their mansion. When the two were still assembling their subordinates, they hurriedly flew and ran to report to Gao Shun.

After hearing the report, Gao Shun hurriedly summoned several of his cavalry governors, and after briefly introducing the situation to them, he said loudly: "Li Meng and Wang Fang colluded with Li Dao outside the city to prepare to open the door and dedicate the city tonight. You will speed up the soldiers and horses of your headquarters at the same speed, and follow me to intercept and kill the traitors. ”

After hearing this, the cavalry governor said in unison: "My subordinates are willing to lead the captain to kill the traitor." Then they went back to order troops and rushed to the west gate to meet Gao Shun.

Li Meng and Wang Fang led their subordinates to a place still a stone's throw away from the West Gate, and suddenly saw that the street in front of them was covered with soldiers. However, since they have come here, it is obviously unrealistic to turn back, so the two can only step forward.

Wang Fang shouted at the soldiers in array: "I am the cavalry governor Wang Fang, and I am on the orders of the high lieutenant to lead the troops to patrol the city. Wait, make way for us. ”

"You're on the orders of the high lieutenant to patrol the city." As soon as Wang Fang's words fell, a voice he was very familiar with suddenly came from the crowd on the other side, "Why don't I know?" As soon as the words fell, the sergeants flashed to both sides, making way for a passage, and out of it came a military general with a helmet and armor, none other than Gao Shun.

Seeing Gao Shun appear here, Wang Fang couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Fortunately, his reaction was fast, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Isn't this a high school lieutenant?" Why haven't you slept so late? ”

Gao Shun didn't answer Wang Fang's question, but glanced at the many soldiers behind him, and asked coldly: "I should ask this, it's so late, the two cavalry governors don't rest in the mansion, and take the soldiers and horses to the west gate, what do you want?" ”

Wang Fang saw through Gao Shun, but he didn't panic at all, he remembered the strategy explained by Jia Xu in the letter, so he pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly at the sergeant behind Gao Shun: "Gao Shun colluded with Li Dao outside the city to try to open the door and sacrifice the city, and we are here to stop him." After speaking, without waiting for Gao Shun to explain, he swung the sword in his hand forward and shouted loudly, "Kill the traitor Gao Shun." ”

Li Meng and Wang Fang were all from the old department of Xiliang, and they had never dealt with the Bingzhou army under Gao Shun on the other side, and when they heard Wang Fang's order, they immediately brandished their weapons and killed them. Gao Shun didn't expect Wang Fang to have a sudden attack, he was caught off guard, he was surrounded by Li Meng and Wang Fang in the middle, and he couldn't command the troops to meet the attack.

The hundreds of people brought by Gao Shun surrounded the street tightly, and Li Meng and Wang Fang's men and horses could not rush to the door quickly. At this time, several cavalry governors under Gao Shun arrived with their headquarters. Seeing that there was already a scuffle here, and when I was trying to figure out what was going on, I suddenly heard the crowd shouting: "Gao Shun is reversed, Gao Shun is reversed, kill the thief, kill the thief!" ”

These cavalry governors under Gao Shun, because they were eager to gather men and horses to support Gao Shun, did not explain what was going on to the soldiers below, and when they heard the shouting, these new soldiers couldn't help but become at a loss, not knowing who to help.

Wang Fang said: "Although the defenders of the West Gate, in the eyes of outsiders, are all the old troops of Dong Taishi. But you and I should understand in our hearts that there has always been a contradiction between Gao Shun's Bingzhou Army and our Liangzhou Army. Now there are only 800 people in the old department of you and me, and if they are discovered by Gao Shun's subordinates when the door is opened, they will inevitably fall into a bitter battle. ”
