At dawn, Li Dao and Guo Yan chased and fought fiercely in Shanglinyuan and Duling County, and the Son of Heaven drove through Bashui and fled eastward in a hurry, and the battle of Chang'an City also entered the most fierce stage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Li Dao and Guo Yan 20,000 soldiers and horses besieged the city, the fierce siege battle has lasted for most of the night, because Li Dao and Guo Yan were extremely vigilant against Zhang Liao, so what was left was the elite soldiers, and the order was to die, and the crazy offensive of 20,000 Liangzhou people exceeded Zhang Liao's expectations, so that he couldn't help but think of his master Jia Xu's original advice, don't underestimate the enemy.

In particular, Li Dao had already discovered that he occupied Chang'an, and this time he brought siege ladders from Chiyang, and the tactics of the Liangzhou people were extremely tricky, they did not besiege all the twelve city gates, but concentrated all the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest of Chang'an City, Yongmen, Hengmen, Chuchengmen and Luochengmen, because these four gates are very close, so that they can respond to each other and concentrate on attacking.

Zhang Liao asked Lu Su and others to guard the other city gates, and he and Huang Zhong guarded these four city gates.

The advantage of defending the city lies in Zhang Liao, but the dark night gives the people of Liangzhou the greatest advantage, because it is difficult for the people in the city to see the movements of the people in the city in the dark, on the contrary, it is easy for the people in the city to see the target to be attacked in the city, and this contrast will have a great impact on the soldiers on both sides.

So at the beginning, the people of Liangzhou put the ladder on the city wall several times, almost rushed to the city gate, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered the soldiers to throw torches and rolling wood under the city, and poured oil, and the city suddenly burst into the sky on all sides, so that the people of Liangzhou did not dare to rush into it easily, and the city was bright, the original vision contrast reversed, the bows and arrows on the city were fired together, and the casualties of the Liangzhou people rose sharply.

The attack of 20,000 Liangzhou people was certainly powerful, but Zhang Liao had already prepared, and what really made him feel threatened was Ma Teng and Han Sui, these two soldiers and horses were stationed in the east of Chang'an and in the area of Baling, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the dark night, not only threatening Chang'an City, but also threatening Zuo Fengyi, so that Xu Rong's soldiers and horses did not dare to cross the river easily, so as not to Zuo Fengyi was attacked by Ma Teng Han Sui and lost his lair.

Zhang Liao was having a headache about this situation, and Xun You in Chang'an City gave him a plan, since Xu Rong was already difficult to cross the river, he simply let Xu Rong's soldiers and horses beat drums and noise on the north bank of the Wei River in the area of Ma Teng Han Sui's camp, and made a trend of crossing the river to attack, so that Ma Teng and Han Sui did not dare to move lightly.

In this way, although Xu Rong could not attack, he in turn pinned down the army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, allowing Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong to concentrate on dealing with the Liangzhou soldiers who were besieging the city.

The battle lasted for two hours, attacked four or five times, until dawn, the Liangzhou people never attacked the city tower, even the cloud ladder was destroyed by most of the soldiers, the soldiers were tired, and their morale was frustrated.

At this moment, Zhang He led 10,000 elite soldiers to kill from the south of the city, led by 5,000 halberds, and the halberd array passed everywhere, invincible, and the people of Liangzhou were in chaos.

Zhang Liao saw the opportunity, ordered Xun You, Lu Su and others to defend the city, he and Huang Zhong each led a soldier and horse from the two city gates to kill, front and back, the already tired Liangzhou people no longer had the intention of fighting, crazy escape. However, the terrain in the west of Chang'an City and the Weihe River is narrow, and they are blocked by the north and south, and there is nowhere to escape.

At this time, the battle was decided, and when Ma Teng Han reacted, the battle was over, and the 20,000 Liangzhou people who besieged the city were killed and wounded more than 8,000, and most of the rest were captured.

Then Zhang Liao asked Zhang Hetun to garrison the south of the city, and Huang Zhong continued to defend the city, guarding each other against Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Dao, and Guo Yan returning to the army.

Chang'an City, in the temporary general's mansion, Zhang Liao looked at the news in his hand, and his face was happy: "The soldiers and horses of the high school have passed the county, and today they can go to Zuo Fengyi, so that Xu Rong can go out of Gaoling and break Li Wei's old nest Huangbai City to the west." ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord is ready to go to meet him?" ”

"Yes, it's time to go to the rescue." Zhang Liao said: "Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Yang Feng, Yang Ding and other thieves killed each other, fought chaotically, and the losses were not small, and the results we expected have been achieved, but although they are in order to seize the Son of Heaven and will not cause harm, they must always be precautionary." ”

Xun You nodded: "My lord, be careful, I'll wait in Chang'an." ”

The matter of saving the car is the most suitable for Zhang Liao, the lord, to come forward, and it is not suitable for anyone else.

Zhang Liao shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will not want to return to Chang'an, otherwise he won't hide this time." ”

Xun You silently, if the Son of Heaven is Chang'an, it will undoubtedly be beneficial for Zhang Liao to control the court, and the Son of Heaven will be in Luoyang, there will be many more variables, not only the princes of Kwantung will fight, but also Xun You has an unspeakable idea in his heart, when the time comes, Guanzhong is completely under Zhang Liao's control, once the court of Luoyang changes, I am afraid that Zhang Liao will be pushed to another road.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the general's mansion, and the guards came to report: "Shi Sun Rui and other ministers ask to see him." ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Xun You and said with a smile: "It seems that even if I don't go to rescue the driver, the ministers will also come to urge." ”

……

In the afternoon, Jing Zhaoyin, east of Lishan in Xinfeng County, Liu Xie's car fled here day and night.

The terrain in this area is quite suitable for guarding, the north of the avenue is Weishui, the south is Lishan, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng respectively stationed the soldiers and horses up and down the Lishan Mountain, each other is the horn, with the help of the terrain to intercept Li Dao, Guo Yan chasing soldiers, not long after the detour to cross the river Yang Feng also came, the three of them joined forces, and all the way to collect the soldiers and horses, and reached as many as 30,000, so that the confidence of the three increased again.

In the east of Lishan Mountain, the Son of Heaven drove in the Hongmen Pavilion to rest temporarily, running all the way, especially after crossing the river and losing the carriage, all relying on horseback riding and walking, at this time everyone was tired.

In a mansion, Liu Xie hurriedly asked Yang Biao, the captain who came in a hurry: "Yang Gong, have you ever found a lost minister?" ”

Yang Biao looked sad and sighed: "Only more than 20 people have been found, including Liu Ai, Yang Qi, Zhong Xuan, Ding Chong, Guo Pu, Dong Fen, and Zhao Rui, and the remaining forty-three people are separated, life and death are unknown, only three hundred are left in Yulin, and the rest of the attendants, palace people, and family members are even more lost." ”

Liu Xie sat down on the old seat, tears falling like rain: "I don't want the ministers to suffer this catastrophe with me, it's all my fault." ”

Yang Biao bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" This Li Dao, Guo Yan and other thieves rebelled, and the ministers were incompetent and inadequate, which made His Majesty fall here, which was the fault of the ministers. ”

Liu Xie waved his hand: "That's it, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to say more, Yang Gong go and rest, Li Dao and Guo Yan's thieves are still chasing behind, and this Hongmen Pavilion has no food and rice, I'm afraid it won't be long before I have to set off again." ”

Yang Biao's eyes flashed with anger: "Zuo Fengyi just sent grain and rice, all of which were taken away by Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others, Du Yi wanted to welcome His Majesty, but they also refused, if it wasn't for the ministers to stop him, Yang Ding would have killed the person who sent the grain." ”

Liu Xie was stunned, his face full of weakness: "Several generals have a grudge against Zhang Wenyuan, this person knows it, so what can I do." ”

Yang Biao said angrily: "But personal grievances, how can you ignore the safety of the Son of Heaven, if you go to Zuo Fengyi, there is Weishui as an obstacle, you will not be afraid of Li Guo chasing after you." ”

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Now that we have come here, let's go to Hongnong, Li Dao Guo Yan and the thieves have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even Zuo Fengyi may not be able to resist." ”

Yang Biao sighed helplessly and said, "I heard that the queen is sick, I don't know what?" At this time, there is no delay. ”

Liu Xie said with a sad face: "The queen is tired, her forehead is hot, and now there is no doctor around, she only drank some cold medicine, and there is no one in Xinfeng County, so ......what can I do?"

"I'm going to find a doctor." Even though Yang Biao was about to go out, the guards suddenly reported: "General Anji Dong Cheng asks to see." ”

Liu Xie summoned, and after Dong Cheng came in, he bowed and saluted, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good, there are many infected people in the palace of the accompanying soldiers and courtiers, and the ministers are afraid that there is a plague." ”

Liu Xie and Yang Biao's faces changed greatly, Dong Cheng looked at Liu Xie, and said: "The minister heard that the queen is sick, I am afraid it is a plague, and I also ask Your Majesty to separate from the queen for the time being." ”

Liu Xie lost his voice and said: "No, absolutely not, the queen has always followed me ......"

Dong Cheng said excitedly: "It is precisely because the queen has been following Your Majesty that the ministers have to think about Your Majesty's noble body, please put Your Majesty first!" ”

Liu Xie hurriedly looked at Yang Biao, but saw that Yang Biao also said with a solemn expression: "If it is an epidemic, please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

"No!" Liu Xie hurriedly ran to the back room to see the queen Fushou who was lying on the couch, and Dong Cheng pulled him down: "Please move your majesty to the next door, the two places are not far away, so that the doctor can diagnose and treat the queen, if it is not an epidemic, then it is not too late for your majesty to get together with the queen!" ”

Liu Xie asked rhetorically: "What if it's an epidemic?" ”

Dong Cheng and Yang Biao bowed their heads and were silent, and Liu Xie's face was sad: "When I leave with you, I will stay next door and quickly invite a doctor." ”
