"What, it can't be, I'm going to count it again!"

Seeing that Ma Lin was in the dark and his eyes were wide open, Yan Xing hurriedly stopped him, Chen Cang's defenders were heavily guarded, and they looked like an elite division according to their posture during the day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info the group of patrol soldiers just now has been in the past for a while, and the second group may be coming soon, it is easy to expose the whereabouts of being close to the enemy camp for too long, just now in addition to Ma and Gan, there is also a Yan Xing who is counting, since he has already obtained the approximate number, it is better to retreat first.

"Quick, let's go!"

With Yan Xing's order, everyone dressed in black retreated, and under the cover of the night, disappeared into the vast grass.

···

A few days later, a young ranger with long arms and a stout man with a dark complexion crouched in a remote corner of a makeshift refugee camp outside the Hengmen Gate in the north of Chang'an City.

The long-armed ranger took a stick of grass in his mouth, glanced at the strong man looking around at his side, smiled, and whispered:

"Black Tan, you said that you would not admit defeat, Yan Xing's kid also counted that night, obviously there were eighty-seven!"

The strong man known as Black Charcoal heard that his neck was stalked, his eyes widened, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't be complacent, maybe both of you are counting wrong;"

The long-armed ranger moved his body and continued to make fun of the black-faced strong man.

"Then tell me how many Chen Cang defenders there are?"

"Uh," the strong man with a black face blushed, opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't figure it out for a while, his face was black and red, and it was very interesting.

"Hey, I can't say it, there are five people in the army in one tent, and there is a bonfire between the five tents, so it is estimated that there are at least about two thousand defenders in Chencang." The long-armed ranger glanced at the black-faced strong man proudly, but he was afraid of annoying the other party, so he didn't continue to tease him.

It turned out that the long-armed ranger and the black-faced strong man were Gan Ling and Ma Lin, and after risking to check the deployment and number of troops outside Chencang City that night, Yan Xing made a big move and ordered everyone to continue westward. Originally, they were supposed to go to Meiyang and Huaili to spy on the situation of the Han army, and the elite soldiers and horses of the Han army stationed there were stationed in the right Fufeng, which was also the main purpose of Yan Xing's visit. Just for safety reasons, Yan Xing did not choose to go directly from the official road to Meiyang and Huaili.

Looking at the arrangement of the guards of Chen Cang, I believe that the Han army of the Meiyang garrison and the Huaili battalion will not slack off against the enemy, and instead of directly hitting the Han army's defense line, it is better to bypass Meiyang and Huaili first, and take a small road to drive directly to Chang'an. Then after exploring the reality of the Han army in Chang'an, and then turn the horse's head west to Huaili and Meiyang, the ideas of the Han army are all placed on the west, and the difficulty of sneaking in from the east will be greatly reduced.

In recent years, the Liangzhou and Sanfu armies have been in continuous fire, and the recent Liangzhou coalition army has launched an autumn offensive on the line from Longxian to Wangxian, and there is an endless stream of refugees fleeing eastward. Yan Xing and the others simply changed their clothes, or pretended to be rangers from the Northland, or pretended to be fleeing people, and mixed with the tide of refugees all the way east. Counties and counties are so afraid of these refugees that some even send people to deport them.

Everywhere they went, the price of food skyrocketed, thieves were rampant, and even the plague was triggered, and when the thaw began in the spring, these refugees would leave or return to their hometowns, and there was no way to stay and become local households, so the local government was disgusted with these elements that only brought instability to their own jurisdictions. Taking advantage of the tide of refugees passing through the county, Yan Xing and others reached Chang'an City unimpeded.

Compared with other local counties and counties, Chang'an Jingzhaoyin still has something to do. Chang'an City has set up some temporary refugee camps on both the west and north sides, and sent soldiers to guard them, and unless there is a road paperwork, no one can enter the city. So Yan Xing and the others could only disguise themselves again, disguised as local woodcutters, hunters, and light heroes, fortunately, some of their light heroes had also been rangers in Chang'an, and they also had acquaintances in Chang'an. So in recent days, Yan Xing divided the people into several groups and entered Chang'an City from different gates to explore the western capital of Chang'an City.

Speaking of Chang'an City, it is definitely one of the most important cities in the Han Empire, and it was used as the capital in the former Han Dynasty, even if the capital was moved to Luoyang since Guangwu Zhongxing, Chang'an City's status in the Han Empire is still unshakable.

The city wall of Chang'an City began to be built from the first month of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, and 146,000 men and women were requisitioned within 600 miles around Chang'an for 30 days, and then 20,000 people were requisitioned and transferred to the princes, princes, and princesses, and a total of 300,000 people were levied in five years, and the city wall of 60 miles around Chang'an was basically completed in September of the fifth year of Emperor Hui.

Craftsman camp country "square nine miles, next to three doors. There are nine warps and nine latitudes in the country, and nine tracks are painted by warp. Left ancestor right society, the front and back of the city, the city of a husband", Chang'an City is three feet high and five feet high, three city gates are opened on all sides, and there are canals or rivers on all sides. The south side from east to west is: Covering Angmen, Anmen, Xi'an Gate; The west is from south to north in order of Zhangmen, Zhimen, Yongmen; The north side from west to east is: Hengmen, Luomen, and Limen; The east side from north to south is: Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate, Bamen.

Gan Ling and Ma Lin were not far from the Hengmen in the north of Chang'an, waiting for Yan Xing and others to come out and join them.

···

Yan Xing took Yan Xing and two others to walk on Huayang Street in Chang'an City, and in front of him was another local light man he knew when he was a ranger in Chang'an. With the bribed land snake leading the way and introduction, Yan Xing and others also have a deeper understanding of the architectural layout in Chang'an.

The main buildings in Chang'an City are the palace groups built by the former Han Dynasty with the power of the whole country, including Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Gui Palace, North Palace, Mingguang Palace, etc.

Among them, Changle Palace was built on the basis of repairing Xingle Palace, the palace of the Qin Dynasty, and it was the earliest palace built and put into use by the Han royal family. The Weiyang Palace was relocated and built under the auspices of the famous minister Xiao He, just west of the Changle Palace, and the arsenal of Chang'an was separated in the middle.

Later, the main gate of Weiyang Palace is called Duanmen, because there are bronze horses erected and bus horses, and they are also called golden horse doors and bus gates. Weiyang Palace is a witness to the glory of the Han Dynasty, according to the layout of the "front dynasty and back hall", this is the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty conducts palace discussions and sleeps. Inside the original prime minister, Jiuqing and other ministers' official offices, there are Shiqu Pavilion, Tianlu Pavilion and other storage of royal classics and books of the storage room, there are hanging Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi and other virtuous ministers portraits of the Qilin Pavilion, but unfortunately these in the late Han Dynasty after the chaos after many damage, although Guangwu Zhongxing has repeatedly repaired the Chang'an Palace, but the former prosperity has gradually faded.

"This is the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty in the fourth autumn of Zhongping, and it is also a symbol of the powerful and glorious Han Empire in the past.

Yan Xing looked at the big city and said silently in his heart.

To be honest, the military significance of infiltrating Chang'an this time is not great, with the eastward move to Luoyang, the grand occasion of Chang'an City's former palace guards, palace guards, city guards and other elite gatherings has no longer reappeared, and the current Chang'an City only has nearly a thousand soldiers and horses directly under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin, not only can not compare with the garrisons of Huaili and Meiyang, but even the defenders of Chencang can not compare. If you want to say that the people who supported Yan Xing to enter the city, there are only the feelings of the former strong man.

Yan Xing had something on his mind, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to the people coming and going on the street. Suddenly, Yan Xing beside him stretched out his hand and said with some excitement:

"Look there!"

Yan Xing, who was groaning in his heart, gathered his spirit when he heard the voice, and looked at Yan Xing's fingers, it turned out that there were more than a dozen evil young men from Chang'an surrounding the two men in coarse cloth and gezu, and many people around were already slowly gathering to watch the excitement.

Yan Xing looked back at the other two servants behind him, only to see that they also showed eager looks. Yan Xing couldn't help but sigh, they used to be light heroes in Yunwu City, although after following Yan Xing, they were a little less frivolous under the constraints of military law, but when they entered the flowery world of Chang'an City, their hearts were already hot, and the battle in front of them aroused their interest in watching the excitement.

Seeing that there was still some time before they went out of the city to converge, Yan Xing simply took them closer to the periphery of the crowd and watched. The local light man approached the crowd, learned about the situation, and then walked back to report to Yan Xing.

"That class are all evil teenagers from the north of Chang'an City, these two men from other places accidentally collided with them on the street for some reason, and they surrounded them!"

Yan Xing and the others suddenly understood, these evil juvenile road tyrants are also common in Yunwu, they often form gangs, run rampant, and oppress the leaders in the city, and some of them specially pick businessmen and pedestrians from other places to start, it seems that these two people from other places are going to be unlucky, Yan Xing and the other two Hu Cong look like they are waiting to see a good show.

Wuling was young and chivalrous, whether it was the former imperial capital of the Han Dynasty or the western capital of the current dynasty, it was indispensable for evil young men to do evil and be domineering.

Yan Xing quietly looked at the people in the field, he was tall, and although he was on the periphery, he could also see the field clearly. The two men who were surrounded, the older one was already pale with fright at the moment, and kept making amends to the evil boys, and the evil boys were like cats playing with rats, and they were unforgiving. Only the young man stood in the crowd and was in danger, he was stout, and the evil boys seemed to be a little jealous, and the two sides kept negotiating.

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers exclaimed, and the evil boy in the negotiation suddenly attacked, and the older man was knocked down with a punch at once, and his face was bloody. The young man, on the other hand, was clearly prepared, he dodged to avoid the sneak attack of an evil boy behind him, and swung his iron fist out, knocking the evil boy who sneaked up to the ground.

Seeing that the quarrel turned into a brawl, the crowd of onlookers suddenly panicked, and retreated far away to continue watching, but instead it became Yan Xing and others leaning on the field.

At this time, the young man in the field was extremely brave, he punched and kicked, and his strength was outstanding, and almost none of the evil boys were the enemy of the same group, although there were many people, but they were still defeated by the young man and two more. The older man, on the other hand, was much more timid, and although he also joined the battle group after getting up from the ground, he was so timid that he took a few punches to the young man.

All of a sudden, the situation on the field became precarious again.
