Ma Teng's troops were defeated and retreated, Chang'an City was in danger, and news was constantly passed in the city.

For the people in the city, Ma Teng's defeat was not good news.

In the past, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led the troops into the city, and the soldiers under their command plundered everywhere, and the people were miserable; Two years later, Ma Teng led his troops into Chang'an, besieged and killed the Xiliang army everywhere, and the people also suffered and suffered unjustified disasters; So far, Ma Teng's defeat means that Cao Cao and Wang Can will also enter Chang'an, and it will be another killing, which makes the people in the city panic.

This world is so chaotic.

The so-called prosperity, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer, nothing more than that!

The people were worried that the war would affect Chang'an again, and they began to prepare for the process of the army to hide in order to survive this military disaster. With the experience of several military disasters, the people in the city also learned various ways to dodge, and at the beginning they only knew how to wander around and run wildly.

Now, when the soldiers enter the city, the people go into hiding, get there, and then go on with their lives.

The news continued to circulate in the city, and soon it reached the palace, and the people panicked and feared, and the palace guards, attendants, and palace maids were just as anxious and afraid.

The Royal Palace, outside the side hall.

One of the attendants whispered, "Did you hear that?" Wang Can and Cao Cao joined forces and drove Ma Teng back to Xiliang, where only Yang Feng led the troops to defend the city, and Chang'an City was about to be captured. ”

Next to the attendant, a tall and thin attendant came over and exclaimed in a low voice: "What, it's impossible, Cao Cao was ordered to crusade against Wang Can, how could he suddenly turn against him?" ”

Another sturdy-looking attendant snorted and said, "What's impossible, knowing people and faces but not hearts, Cao Cao and Wang Can are in the same group, they defeated Ma Teng, and then they will attack Chang'an." ”

The attendant looked sad and sighed, "Oh, how is this good? ”

The tall and thin attendant sneered: "What's so bad, someone is on top of something wrong, what's the matter with us." ”

Several people gathered together and muttered in low voices.

At this time, a eunuch came from a distance, and when he saw several attendants chirping together and not knowing what to say, he immediately shouted: "What are you talking about? I don't go to work yet. His voice was shrill, and the sound of a duck's voice reached the ears of several attendants, and immediately startled several attendants to spread their feet and walk away quickly.

The eunuch sighed, he also knew what the attendants were talking about, because this was not the first time they had encountered it.

He shook his head and continued his way to the side hall.

In the palace, the attendants from various places whispered in private, discussing the affairs of Cao Cao and Wang Can, with a strong curiosity in their eyes, but also a touch of worry.

The news that Wang Can and Cao Cao had defeated Ma Teng was not good news for the attendants in the palace. After all, after Wang Can and Cao Cao led the army into the city, they would definitely clean up the Xiliang army, and then it would be another turmoil. They may also be purged as well.

As a result, the entire palace became chaotic.

In the side hall, Liu Xie had already broken several jade objects, and the ground was full of books and other items. Not only that, but there were several attendants and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

When the news of Ma Teng's defeat reached the palace, Liu Xieru was struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned.

He has always adhered to the strategy formulated for him by Liu Xian, and wanted to take Chang'an as a foothold and Xiliang and Guanzhong as the foundation, but Ma Teng's defeat and retreat to Xiliang meant that his hope of rising was completely shattered, and there was no chance to revive the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie's expression was hideous, and the whole person was like a tiger and leopard who chose people to devour, and when he encountered something the size of a sesame seed, he would be angry and punish people.

The attendants who were punished by him to kneel were lucky, because several of them had already been pulled out and cut down.

"Boom! Boom! ”

At the entrance of the main hall, the eunuch who had previously scolded the attendants walked in and saluted Liu Xie. Liu Xie saw that the eunuch returned to the palace alone, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why are you alone, Xu Huang and Yang Feng?" ”

The eunuch looked respectful and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, General Yang Feng has been infected with wind and cold, and he is already sick in bed, making it difficult to move, so he cannot come to see Your Majesty; As for General Xu Huang, he was training his soldiers in the city, actively preparing for war, and preparing to defend Chang'an. General Xu was too busy to come to His Majesty. ”

"Bastard!!"

When Liu Xie heard this, he immediately scolded.

After a pause, he roared loudly again: "Bullshit wind cold, it's just autumn now, how can it be so easy to get wind cold, Yang Feng, Yang Feng, I value you so much, but you are perfunctory, good, good, good a thief." That Xu Huang is actually training, hey, pretend, I think he is preparing to open the city gate to welcome Cao Cao and Wang Can! ”

"Bang!"

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he sat on the floor, then lay on his back, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "It's over, it's over, I'm alone again, and there are enemies in my eyes!" The voice was bleak, Liu Xie's face showed a helpless look, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of Liu Xie's eyes and dripped onto the floor.

The eunuch stood in place with a bow, not daring to speak.

After a long time, Liu Xie hissed and said, "Go out and let me be quiet!" ”

When the kneeling attendant heard this, he hurriedly retreated as if he had been pardoned, and the door of the palace creaked shut, and the slightly dark room was empty and quiet, only Liu Xie was lying on the floor alone. At this time, Liu Xie said slowly: "Uncle, the situation is erosive, what should my nephew do?" What should I do? ”

His voice echoed slowly through the palace.

When Wang Can and Cao Cao entered the city, he would definitely become a puppet again.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie was very unwilling in his heart, really unwilling. He is the most honorable man in the Han Dynasty, and everything in the whole world is his. However, the current situation is that he can't even control his own freedom, and it won't be long before he becomes a caged bird, a puppet controlled by Cao Cao or Wang Can.

In the main hall, the sigh was long and long, and it sounded constantly.

……

Cao Ying, the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, Xi Zhicai sat on the left side, and on the right side sat Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and other generals. Cao Cao's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Xi Zhicai, and said: "Zhicai, if you want to fight Wang Can in a decisive battle tomorrow, there must be arrangements for Wang Can's military camp, you are ready, tell everyone about it." ”

"No!"

Xi Zhicai smiled indifferently, looking calm and confident. He paused for a moment, and then said loudly: "I have made three preparations for Wang Can's broken military camp. ”

"One is the shield soldiers who resist the cavalry, and there are four hundred soldiers holding shields to resist the charge of the cavalry."

"Second, it is Changge, each Changge is one zhang long, sharp and sharp, specially used to cut off the four hooves of the war horse, which is to prevent the cavalry from breaking the barracks from approaching the army, to prevent the cavalry from attacking, there are a thousand people."

"The third was the archers, eight hundred of them. The 800 archers were the most powerful men of the army after a long period of training, and they used strong bows and powerful bows to shoot cavalry at long range. ”

Xi Zhicai was full of confidence and said: "With this triple preparation, you can use a bow and arrow to shoot the cavalry remotely, and when the cavalry approaches, you can use a shield to resist, and then use Changge to cut off the horse's legs, once the horse is killed, the cavalry will also lose its effect." Although they are all ordinary methods, they are enough to resist Wang Can's cavalry. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he stroked his palms again and again, and said: "Okay, there is a plan for talented people, and it is easy to break Wang Can." ”

Xiahou shook his hands and said: "Blocking Wang Can's broken military camp, the last general can also fight with confidence, this time we must defeat Wang Can and beat him back to Yizhou." ”

The generals said a word to you, and I said a word, with an excited look on his face.
