Chapter 367: Chang'an Confrontation
Shaanzhou.
Shaanzhou is Ge Congzhou's station, his duty is to guard Luoyang, defend Tongguan, Hangu Pass, and choke the east-west traffic arteries.
So he put his station in Shaanzhou. Here to the west is Tongguan, and to the west of Tongguan is Chang'an; The east side is Hangu Pass, and the east side of Hangu Pass is Luoyang, and the terrain is very dangerous.
Today, all 14 members of the military department are stationed here, and the 60,000 troops belonging to the military department are also stationed here, which is the bridgehead for the attack on Chang'an City.
Wang Xuance has returned from the prairie, and the moment Zhao Wang Duoerta and others are in the capital, Wang Xuance knows that these people will never turn back, and he also knows that Boyan has no chance to target them, so there is no need for him to continue to stay in the prairie, his return means that all the people in the military department have arrived in Shaanzhou.
Gong Qianbai arrived at Shaanzhou City to the east, met Jiang Shang and others, and told everyone in detail about Helan Mountain.
At the end, he said: "Now there are 60,000 ordinary soldiers in Shaanzhou, and with your 30,000 elites, it is more than enough to attack Chang'an." However, in order to prevent the other party from fishing, we still need to be cautious, at least I will always be with you until I completely take Chang'an! ”
There are many high-level leaders of the Mingjiao who are not bad, and if there are so many ambushes in Chang'an, it will inevitably cause great losses to the people in the military department, so of course he must be more careful.
Nearly 100,000 troops went out of Tongguan and divided their troops in Huayin: Wei Rui, Chen Xianda, Cao Shen, and Lu Xun led 30,000 people to copy from the north, Tan Daoji, Zhang Xun, Li Sheng, and Zhao Hao took 30,000 people to copy from the south, and Gong Qianbai, Jiang Shang, Wei Yi, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Wang Xuance, and Chen Qingzhi led 30,000 people to attack from the front.
"Am I worrying too much?"
Gong Qianbai jumped onto the city, opened the gate of Chang'an City, and tens of thousands of troops swarmed in, and soon occupied the entire city.
But still no resistance was encountered.
Jiang Shang said: "Now there are only three explanations: the first is that the other party is hiding soldiers in the city, and when we slack off, they will attack and kill us by surprise; The second is that the opponent has other traps, such as fire attack or water attack, and we have to investigate in detail; The third explanation is that the other party gave up Chang'an City for some purpose! ”
"It's impossible to give up Chang'an City!" Gong Qianbai thought for a while and said, "Chang'an City has an extraordinary meaning to the Han people, even if their master wants to give up, his subordinates are not willing, so this explanation will never happen!" So let's start with the first two possibilities, on the one hand, carefully find out if there are hidden enemy troops in the city, and on the other hand, carefully find out whether there is gunpowder buried! ”
"That's right!" Jiang Shang turned around and said, "Lao Fu Le Yi, Tian Dan, Li Sheng, and Zhao Hao, each with 5,000 people to search separately to see if they can find some clues; Then ask Wang Xuance and Chen Qingzhi to carefully ask the people in the city to see if they can get something! ”
The six generals took people to go respectively, Gong Qianbai, Jiang Shang, and Wei Yu entered the Chang'an Palace while chatting, and when Gong Qianbai stepped into the palace gate with one foot, he suddenly remembered one thing:
"That's not right! Hurry up and send someone to Tongguan to defend, there should be a large army to sneak attack Tongguan! ”
"Oops! Big things are not good! ”
Jiang Shang and Wei Yi also reacted, but then calmed down and thought about countermeasures.
"Not only is Tongguan dangerous, it is very likely that Huayin also has ambushes, and it is easy for us to be ambushed when we return to Tongguan now!" Wei Yu said to the two of them.
"There's no way, we can only use a poison trick!" Gong Qianbai said, "It's dangerous to send troops back to Tongguan now, and it's dangerous not to send troops back to Tongguan. We just have to do this and that......"
Gong Qianbai whispered to the two for a while, and both of them sighed after hearing it, now there is no better way, and they can only do what Gong Qianbai said!
Jiang Shang immediately sent someone to call all the generals back, and the generals really didn't gain anything; Jiang Shang said all the conjectures of the three people, and everyone immediately reflected it; They are all great talents who can stand alone, and they only need to point to understand the seriousness of the matter.
"There is still a large army in Luoyang, and Luoyang City is arranged by me according to the formation, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; Shaanzhou also has Ge Congzhou's 20,000 troops, and it is not easy for them to take Luoyang, so we don't have to be too anxious to return to the army. But now that the enemy has made a move, we have to find a way to crack it. ”
Jiang Shang said to everyone.
"Wei Rui, Li Sheng, Zhao Hao, Cao Shen, the four of you will return to the army to rescue Tongguan, if what we expect is good, there must be ambushes waiting on the Huayin side, so your task is Huayin's ambush soldiers instead of Tongguan. Le Yi, Tian Dan, Chen Xianda, the three of you plus the two of us, take 40,000 people, first put a fire in this Chang'an City, the bigger the fire, the better, but don't burn to the palace; After this fire is finished, let's go straight to Tongguan, and when we get to Huayin, ignore the ambush soldiers and go around directly. Wang Xuance, Chen Qingzhi, Zhang Xun, Tan Daoji, Lu Xun, the five of you led 30,000 people to ambush the palace, put everyone in the palace into custody, kill those who disobeyed, and then prepare more fire-fighting things; As soon as he learned that the people of the Ming Sect returned to Chang'an City to put out the fire, they began to defend the palace. Wei Rui, after clearing Huayin's ambush, you will return to attack Chang'an, and the inside and outside should work together to trap the people of the Ming Sect! ”
After the distribution, everyone urgently gathered their soldiers and horses and began to act.
Wei Rui and the four of them took 30,000 horses all the way to the east and went straight to the direction of Tongguan, when they passed through Huayin, they saw the mountains on both sides towering, and a narrow and long corridor in the middle, they immediately realized that this was an excellent place for ambushes, and immediately exchanged glances with each other, Wei Rui and Cao Shen took 10,000 people to rest and guard in situ, Li Sheng took 10,000 people to go around the mountain peak on the left from behind, and Zhao Hao took 10,000 people to go around the mountain peak on the right from behind.
Wei Rui said to Cao Shen: "Sure enough, there is an ambush!" Let's bring 5,000 people each to support, first remove the danger on this road, and then they will pass here faster! ”
Cao Shen nodded in agreement, and the two of them split up and climbed to the mountain peak with their soldiers. When I went to the top of the mountain, I saw that there were at least thirty or forty thousand ambush soldiers, but the strength of the generals led by him was only at the peak of the internal force realm, and he was being killed by Li Sheng and Zhao Hao.
"The enemy has no half-immortals, so fight quickly!"
Wei Rui shouted, if the four generals were ambushed, they might be helpless, but at this time, they unified the situation with the other party, like four tigers who had killed into a flock, and the masters of the peak of the opponent's internal strength realm were quickly slaughtered.
