Chapter 859: Knocking on Chang'an (6)

"Hehe, why do you listen to a certain command? Good question! Li Wei laughed, the slight haze before was swept away, and he looked radiant, "Just because there is money and food!" ”

Fan Chou was originally Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but because of his bravery, he was appreciated by Dong Zhuo, so he was able to lead the army alone. After Dong Zhuo was killed in Chang'an, the whole family was in chaos, and Fan Chou took some soldiers to hide in the surrounding area, until he heard that Li Dao and Guo Yan were attacking Chang'an with men and horses, and they came out to meet in Yu.

Although Guo Yan didn't speak, he turned his head slightly and glanced at a scribe behind him. This scribe was none other than Zhao Wen.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, who received the support of grain and grass, immediately became bold, and almost immediately led the soldiers to Chang'an with great momentum, and when they met Fan Chou, they also regarded themselves as leaders.

Although Fan Chou was a little unconvinced, what Li Dao said was also reasonable, eating people with short mouths and short hands with short hands, since Li Dao can provide money and food, then it is not unacceptable to listen to Li Dao's deployment......

"That's it!" Fan Chou glared at Li Wei for a while, and finally bowed his hand and said, "If you can provide Erlang with grain and grass, you will listen to your orders!" ”

"Well said! Say! Li Wei helped Fan Chou up, and then said in high spirits, "I will swear in three days, and then I will send troops to Chang'an!" Kuang Fu Sheji, cut out the thieves in the DPRK! ”

"Oh, oh, oh, oh......" The surrounding Xiliang soldiers also cheered with high morale.

Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction on the side, the momentum is to be bigger, so that it is good......

*****************

And when Li Dao took advantage of the newly arrived money and grain to gather the scattered Xiliang soldiers and gather troops to prepare for a rapid march to Chang'an, Lu Bu couldn't even gather the money, food and equipment of the 5,000 soldiers......

The warehouse of money, grain, and equipment prepared for Lu Bu turned out to be out of water!

It burned clean overnight, and there was nothing left.

Wang Yun was furious, took down all the soldiers guarding the warehouse, as well as the relevant warehouse management officials, and directly killed more than a dozen people on the spot, and the rest were also dying and thrown into the prison.

But no matter how many people were killed, the grain, grass and weapons could not be conjured up immediately, and they had to start deploying again, so Lu Bu could only continue to wait......

Day after day, many people have little understanding of the looming crisis, and even think that Chang'an City seems to be like its name, and can be peaceful for a long time.

The plan of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty is slightly square, but it is not an unconventional square. Because the city wall was built after the completion of the two major palaces of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, in order to accommodate the location of the second palace and the river, the city wall on the south side had to be formed to zigzag like the six stars of the South Dipper, and the city wall on the north side was curved like the shape of the Big Dipper, so it was also called "Doucheng".

There are three gates on each side of the city wall, the south wall is the Anmen, and the east and west sides are the Covering Ang Gate and the Xi'an Gate; In the north wall is the kitchen city gate, and the east and west sides are the Los Angeles city gate and the horizontal gate; In the east wall is the Qingming Gate, and the north and south sides are the Bacheng Gate and the Xuanping Gate; In the west wall is the straight city gate, and the north and south sides are the chapter city gate and the Yong gate. Each gate has three doorways, a total of 12 gates and 36 doorways.

Under normal circumstances, the four main gates of the east, west, north and south are not opened on weekdays, and only the side doors are open for people to enter and exit. On this day, when the bell rang, the soldiers at the gate of the city head who were routinely on duty yawned, lazily pushed the gate open half of it, and then shouted: "Those who go out of the city and enter the city are all lined up!" Come, take it out and examine it! ”

Chang'an City has a large population, and there is no natural gas liquefied gas in this era, not to mention any induction cooker, to live and cook, firewood is naturally indispensable.

In the bustling crowd, a team of men, carrying a load of firewood, is coming towards Xuanping Gate, the firewood is heavy on the shoulders, and while walking, they are talking about some parents, and the accents are all the accents of Sanfu here, and no one can hear any flaws.

A strong man was in the queue, a shabby kudzu hat covered most of his face, and he was afraid that there were more than 100 catties of firewood, but it seemed to be as light as clothing, which did not make him move a little slowly, and in a blink of an eye, he squeezed into the flow of people entering the city with these men......

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was built on the Wei River in the north and the water in the west (three points of water and one soap), and the Wang Canal was excavated in the east and south, and the river water was introduced as part of the city defense.

However, because the location of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace is located in the south of Chang'an City, Chang'an City is not like other cities in the north and south of the poor layout, but some ordinary residents are in the north area, even the East City and the West City, although the name has the east and west directions, but in fact they are concentrated in the north.

Entering the Zhangping Gate is the back street of Shangguan, and the East Market is on this street, so the number of people entering the city from this gate is the largest every day, and the soldiers guarding the city gate are the hardest.

The most important thing is that there is no oil and water.

Because Jingzhao Mansion and Chang'an Imperial Palace are relatively southern, all officials, big and small, with a bit of status, will not go through these city gates in the north, and those who go here are some poor people who go into the city to buy and sell some farm utensils.

However, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, of course, the city gate guards rely on the city gate to eat the city gate.

Checking the people who came in and out was secondary, and leaving some of them for their own use was the source of motivation for these city gate soldiers to check.

When he saw a pear seller and a jujube seller, he pulled on his pocket; When he saw someone carrying a penny of wild vegetables, he grabbed a bundle or two; When he saw the firewood, he took a few thick sticks of firewood, and all these things were the chews that these guards at the head of the city had to chew a day, and in addition to leaving a copy for the boss, they could all take it home.

Of course, these mundane things are not worth a few dollars, so most of these soldiers are lazy, and only occasionally come across some rare things, they will open their green eyes and gather around them with great interest.

Now the city gate has been open for a while, and the flow of people is slowly passing through the city gate, and there are a lot of messy things piled up around every soldier guarding the city, such as food and everything. As for the pass, although they shouted loudly, in fact, the eyes of each soldier were only staring at what utensils were carried by the people entering and leaving the city gate, to see if there were any utensils that they could use for their own homes.

Seeing the soldiers at the city gate checking the drawbridge, the team of sturdy men carrying firewood also gradually approached the drawbridge with the flow of people. Seeing that the soldiers defending the city were getting closer and closer, and the strong man with his face covered with a shabby hat muttered something in a low voice, the group of men slowed down a little, tightened closer to each other, and slowly approached the city gate......
