Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Although Chang'an is in a hurry, this battle cannot take the initiative to attack, and it is necessary to lure the snake out of the hole, and it cannot arouse the vigilance of Li Dao and Guo Yan, otherwise they will lead the army to come, and Chang'an will be difficult to save." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang He hurriedly said: "Please make it public." ”

Zhang Liao summoned Huang Zhong again and instructed: "This battlefield cannot be placed outside Chang'an, we must first lure the enemy soldiers through Bashui and lead them to Jingzhaoyin to annihilate." ”

He paused and said: "You can send people to Chang'an to spread the news, saying that Zuo Fengyi transferred 100,000 stone grain and grass and more than 10 carts of medicinal materials to Jingzhao Yin for disaster relief and treatment of the plague, just in Baling City, and then use the carriage to load stones to disguise as grain and herbs and medicinal materials, only with a thousand soldiers and horses to pretend to be guarded, Hu soldiers plundered, now the most lacking is grain and grass, the most afraid is the plague, I expect that when he hears the news of grain and grass and medicinal materials, he will inevitably come to rob, a thousand grain guards are enough to recruit them 2,000 or even all, one of you leads the troops to ambush on the side, and one leads the troops to ambush behind, When they entered the ambush circle, they attacked back and forth, swords and arrows were fired, and they were sure to leave all of them in Jingzhaoyin, and then spread the news that they had gone to the Kwantung to plunder, as long as the battlefield was not in Chang'an, Li Dao Guo Yan would not be too vigilant, only thinking that it was them who took the initiative to attack and lost in order to grab food, and there would be no other suspicions. ”

Huang Zhong and Zhang He couldn't help but praise in unison: "The lord is really a clever plan!" ”

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "You and you are both good generals with wisdom and bravery, this time I only have this plan, how to lure, how to set up an ambush, and let you two act." ”

Hearing Zhang Liao's order, the two glanced at each other and said in unison: "The last general is ordered!"

The situation in Chang'an was urgent, and on that day, Zhang He sent people to pretend to be Jingzhao Liukou, spreading that there was grain and grass in Baling, and there were rich households to give relief, and went to Chang'an to invite Hu soldiers to loot and share the spoils.

As Zhang Liao expected, those Hu soldiers were in urgent need of food and grass, they were all half-full and had no meal, as soon as they heard that there was food and grass in Baling, they immediately sent people to investigate, and the scouts saw countless carriages in Baling, as well as set up sheds to put porridge, a thousand guards, and scouts mixed into the people and ate a big bowl, and heard some "accurate" news, and immediately reported.

At dawn on the second day, only 200 of the 3,000 Hu soldiers remained in the camp west of Chang'an City, and the rest went out to attack Baling and loot grain and grass.

Then Zhang He, who had been in ambush for a long time, came out of the flank, with bows and arrows, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outflanked, the thieves were in chaos, and they fled in a hurry, but Huang Zhong led the guards behind him to block the Baqiao, cut off the back road, killed more than a thousand, and the rest all surrendered.

Later, Zhang He and Huang Zhong pretended to be thieves to get food and returned to the camp, and easily controlled the 200 Hu soldiers left behind in the west of Chang'an City, without causing any movement, and no Hu soldiers escaped.

After taking control of the camp, Zhang He sent thousands of soldiers and horses to continue to block the front line in the west of the city, pretending to be Hu soldiers, and intercepting any news from Chang'an to Youfufeng.

Zhang Liao entered Chang'an City with soldiers, horses, military doctors, and young men.

Even though they had been mentally prepared, the tragic scene in Chang'an City still shocked Zhang Liao and the soldiers, and the streets were full of corpses and hungry and dying people, and there were not many in the village.

Most of these miserable people are from Liangzhou, Li Dao and Guo Yan forcibly moved from Liangzhou, and most of the original Chang'an people have already fled to Zuo Fengyi.

The Weiyang Palace, which was originally repaired in the south of the city, was a mess again, the grain and grass in it were looted, many books were also torn and eaten by hungry people, many palaces were burned down when Li Dao Guo Yan left, and the officials who were left behind died of illness, and the former Taiwei Zhou Zhong and Shangshu Lingshi Sun Rui were also infected, but they still tried their best to organize some young men and family members to gather the patients together for isolation, which provided great convenience for Zhang Liao's treatment.

The surviving courtiers all cried when they saw Zhang Liao, the former captain of Sili, leading the troops.

Zhang Liao asked Zhang Zhongjing, the military doctor and the soldiers to act quickly, and more than ten streets were started at the same time, isolation, pots, boiling water, porridge, and medicine, and Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers and officials to shout in the streets and alleys.

As the carriages carried grain in, snow-white steamed buns went down one by one, making the hungry and dying officials and people full of strength, frantically grabbing food, kowtowing and thanking.

In the side hall, after Shi Sun Rui and Zhou Zhong and other sick ministers drank the medicine, they ate steamed buns and shed tears like rain.

"General." Shisun Rui bowed to Zhang Liao with the support of his son Shisun Meng, and choked up: "If it weren't for the general, there would be no living mouth in this Chang'an City, and the officials and people of Chang'an would be grateful for the great kindness of General Xie!"

Zhang Liao hurriedly helped him up: "Uncle Shi doesn't want to be like this."

"I'm waiting for General Xie's great grace!" More than 30 officials in the hall followed the scholar Sun Rui to bow to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao hurriedly returned the salute: "This matter is really not polite."

Shisun Rui said: "Now that His Majesty and the princes have been kidnapped by Li Dao and Guo Yan's thieves, and the third prince is not there, Chang'an respects the general, and asks the general to preside over the overall situation and welcome back the Son of Heaven."

"Please take charge of the overall situation and welcome back the Son of Heaven!" The ministers bowed down again.

"Everyone, please." Zhang Liao got up and said: "Since the princes are loved, Liao will temporarily take charge of the main affairs, such as today's son was kidnapped by Li Dao Guo Yan, and there are 100,000 troops of Ma Teng Han Sui on the side, and a total of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses on the right side of the wind, it is difficult to plan for a while, and the Son of Heaven has fallen into the hands of thieves, if the attack is urgent, I am afraid that they will harm the Son of Heaven, so the only way is to stabilize Chang'an first, and then find an opportunity to act."

Shi Sun Rui and other ministers heard that there were 200,000 soldiers and horses in Youfufeng, all of them changed color, and after a moment of silence, Shi Sun Rui said: "The general is a loyal and righteous man, and how to act is handled by the general."

Zhang Liao nodded, and said: "For today's plan, you sick people will first take medicine to recuperate, and the rest will organize to help the surviving people in the city, there will inevitably be a big war in Chang'an City, and there is no food in the city, and it is difficult to transfer from other places, and you are even more afraid of being robbed, so you must move the people out of Chang'an, so you can put aside your worries and fight with Li Guo!"

"Whoa." The ministers had no other way at this time, seeing that Zhang Liao had a good plan, they all bowed down and obeyed.

In the following time, Zhang Liao organized the migration while treating the people, because he didn't know the situation of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and there was not much time left for them.

There were many corpses in the city, and Zhang Liao had already prepared and made thousands of stretchers for those Hu soldiers who were captured in Baling to clean up and carry them out of the city for burial, so as to prevent a second epidemic.

Less than 10,000 of the tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City survived, and they migrated within a day and settled in Jingzhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi.

Chang'an City was empty, and then 100,000 stone grain and grass were transferred from Weishui and transported into Chang'an City.

And there were young men who carried stones and timber from all over into the gates of the city, and brought them to the city.

There were also sergeants who brought crossbows and thunderbolts.

The city of Chang'an is tall, since Zhang Liao occupies it, he is not ready to give up, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, his 10,000 soldiers and horses can resist 100,000 enemy soldiers.

Moreover, Chang'an is not an isolated city, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong defended the city, let Zhang He lead the troops to respond outside, plus Xu Rong's cavalry stationed in Wulingyuan in the north of Chang'an, which is enough to deal with all changes.
