Chapter 3:152 Borrowing grain

"The clothes of the common people and the armor of Cao Jun are enough," Wei Yan asked left and right

"The general has brought a lot," a small colonel hurriedly replied

"That's good, eat and drink enough today, rest for one night, tomorrow when Chang'an City opens, we will rush in," Wei Yan ordered in a deep voice as he looked at the majestic city in the distance

"General," the soldiers who were lying around and hiding had to be ordered to clasp their fists and shout

"Open the city gate" early the next morning, with the chanting of the small colonel guarding the gate, the four gates of Chang'an were slowly opened, and the people carried baskets and drove to the outside of the city, looking for a new day's work

"Rush in" Wei Yan, who was hiding on both sides of the city gate early, led three hundred elite soldiers to rush to the wide open city gate, and the long knife in his hand frightened the people to the left and right, lest they would get in the way of this group of "strong men".

"Who is coming," the little colonel at the gate pulled out his waist knife and stood in the middle of the drawbridge and asked Wei Yandao

"Poof", a flash of knife light flashed and the little school fell into the moat

"Close the door and lift the drawbridge," several soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly withdrew to the city when they saw this, shouting while trying to close the city gate, but the city gate of Chang'an could not be moved by a few people, let them use their strength to feed, the city gate was still standing there, not moving

"Ring the bell, ring the bell, the enemy attack, the enemy attack," a soldier hurriedly shouted at his comrades on the city tower

"Seize the door and blow the horn," Wei Yan brandished his long knife and slashed the few stubborn Cao soldiers at the gate of the city, throwing the blood stains on the knife and ordering the soldiers behind him

"Woo woo" With the sound of the desolate horn, thousands of people rushed over several miles away from the Chang'an City Gate

The bell on the city tower also sounded at this time, and the few defenders took their bows and put arrows at Wei Yanbu at the city gate

"Go and kill a hundred people," Wei Yan shouted at the soldiers behind him, waving his sword to block a few feathered arrows

"Shang" a small colonel led more than 100 soldiers to rush up along the steps next to the city gate

"Surrender and surrender", when the soldiers rushed to the city, those old and weak Cao soldiers dropped their weapons and shouted surrender, they are not stupid, the enemy has entered the city, with these three thousand old and weak still guarding the four gates, how can they resist the enemy's attack, for the monthly rice of a few liters of Yulu lost their heads, it is not worth it

"General Yan led the soldiers to clear the city, Cao Bing'er and others closed the four gates and prepared for defense," Wei Yan and others Yan Yan led the army into the city, and instructed Yan Yan while directing the soldiers to close the door

"Where did the thief army come from," Wei Yan led three hundred elite soldiers to clear the remnants of Cao soldiers along the way, and a group of powerful house slaves with swords in their hands were ready to come up and compete with Wei Yanbu

"Kill" Wei Yanchang slashed a slave with a spear in his hand, shouting angrily like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering these slaves who came to assist Cao's army in defending the city

The distance between the four gates of Chang'an was very far, and by the time Yan Yan closed the city gates one by one, it was almost noon, and many of the Cao soldiers who stayed behind had already abandoned the city when they saw that the situation was not good

"The surplus grain and grass in the military camp in the general's city are still enough for our army to eat for more than ten days", the military camp that occupies the four gates of Chang'an has a military master, and after calculating the surplus grain, he immediately reported to Wei Yan

"Ten days" Wei Yan frowned when he heard this, if Cao Cao learned that Chang'an had been lost, he would only need to send a large army to besiege it without attacking, and after ten days, Chang'an would be self-defeating

"It's easy to take Chang'an, and then I will return it to Cao Cao like that, and I won't be able to raise food and salary," Wei Yan secretly thought in his heart

"Set up a banquet in the evening, invite all the rich families in Chang'an to the barracks to eat and drink," Wei Yan instructed to the left and right

"Hahaha, in a hurry, I can only prepare a glass of thin wine, I am sluggish," in the evening, all the rich families in Chang'an City were invited to the barracks by Wei Yan one by one, and as soon as they entered the gate, Wei Yan was there with a fist and a smile

"I don't know what the general is going to do," a rich man asked casually

"It's okay, it's just that Ben is a newcomer, and I want to get close to you, get acquainted, please come in, hurry up, please come in," Wei Yan laughed and pretended to be bold

"Come on, wine and food," waited until the rich families sat on the ground in the big tent tremblingly, and then Wei Yan shouted at the soldiers outside the tent

One by one, the trays were brought in, and a jar of spirits was opened, and the whole tent was filled with the smell of wine and meat

"Don't be polite here, General Ben will salute you first," Wei Yan glanced at the poor rich who were cramped and uneasy, stood up with the wine bowl, and toasted

"General, let's talk about this matter, the general is so and so, and I am really uneasy in my heart," a rich man said after pouring a sip of strong wine and emboldening himself

"Hey, hey, hey, fast talk, fast talk, fast talk, this general likes to deal with a refreshing character like you," Wei Yan drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, stretched out his thumb and praised the rich man

"Then the general can just say it directly," Wei Yanzan said to the rich families after slowly putting down the wine bowl in his hand

"The general, but it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt," the rich people responded one after another

"What about the matter, this is the case, today, the general took this Chang'an City on the order of the right governor of the three armies under the command of King Wu, presumably you already know the ins and outs," Wei Yan touched the beard on his chin and looked around and asked

"A certain person knows, a certain person knows that the general, the god man Chang'an Jiancheng is in his pocket without a single soldier, and we admire it to the fullest," those rich people glanced at each other, and they all turned around and folded their hands to flatter Wei Yan

"However, when I came, I was in a hurry, and after the general took Chang'an, the rations of the soldiers under his command were not much, so today I would be cheeky to ask you to come and ask you for a discussion, temporarily borrow military rations, Wanshi and this general will stay in the future, and I don't know what you think," Wei Yan raised his hand and poured a bowl of wine for himself, and said slowly in his mouth

"This is not a secret general, when General Cao Hong went out on the expedition before, he had already borrowed it from us, general, don't look at us, the surface is glamorous, but there are also fathers and old servants at home to feed me, and there is no surplus food in my hands," A rich man saw that Wei Yan seemed to be very talkative, and he had the courage to complain about his bitterness there

As soon as he complained about this, the rich families naturally echoed it, and for a while, the big tent in the barracks seemed to be full of poor people, and everyone was there to compare the miserable and poor
