Chapter 369: What's the use
Five days later, outside the city of Chang'an, there was a large army.
Zhou Fan left Wei Yan and 10,000 troops to stay in Hanzhong, while he rushed to Chang'an with the others and 80,000 troops.
"Open the gates!" With a loud shout on the city wall, the south gate of Chang'an suddenly opened.
And at this moment, on the city wall, it is not that Zhang He or who it is.
Five days ago, Zhang He and Ou Xing took 3,000 elite horsemen, set off lightly, and rushed to Chang'an overnight.
Taking advantage of the night, coupled with the fact that those Xiliang troops couldn't guess that Zhou Fan would sneak attack Chang'an at this time, they didn't have the slightest sense of defense.
In addition, Ou Xing had already arranged nearly 100 internal responses in Chang'an, and he took Chang'an City in one fell swoop, killing more than 1,000 enemies, and the rest all became Zhang He's prisoners, and even Dong Yue became one of Zhang He's prisoners.
"Into town!" With Zhou Fan's order, the 80,000 army marched into Chang'an.
Chang'an, as the old capital of the Han Dynasty, is much more prosperous than other places.
And at this moment, Jing Zhao Yin Mansion.
Now that Chang'an has been taken, this Jingzhao Yin Mansion has naturally become Zhou Fan's temporary office location.
"He Xing is not dishonored, and he has already taken Chang'an." Zhang He said with a fist at Zhou Fan.
"Good!" Zhou Fan looked at Ou Xing and Zhang He and nodded with satisfaction: "This time, the two of you have made a great contribution, I will write it down first, and then I will reward it with a line." ”
This time, with Zhang He's leadership, coupled with Ou Xing's strategy, it can be said that it was effortless, and even the three thousand iron cavalry did not suffer many casualties, which can be described as a complete victory.
"Thank you, Lord." The two answered at the same time, and then returned to their respective seats.
"Ou Xing, have the people of Chang'an been pacified now?" Zhou Fan asked, this is easy to build a city, but it is easy to cure a city.
Especially in this situation, Zhou Fan has just conquered Chang'an City, and it is inevitable that the people of Chang'an will react. If there's any riot, it's going to be troublesome.
Ou Xing said: "Please rest assured that Dong Yue's Xiliang army did all kinds of evil in Chang'an, and those people heard that it was the lord who led the troops to take Chang'an." It's too late to be happy, so how can there be any chaos. ”
Zhou Fan suddenly, thinking about it, after all, Dong Yue has been doing evil in Chang'an for so long, maybe no matter who it is. As long as someone comes to destroy him, the people of Chang'an will welcome him directly, let alone themselves.
This Chang'an and Hanzhong are very close, and they can be said to be neighbors, so the people of Chang'an also know a lot about the situation in Hanzhong, so they naturally have some understanding of their own Yizhou Mu, that is, the former Hanzhong Taishou.
When Han Sui attacked Sanfu, there were still many people in Chang'an who fled directly to Hanzhong to take refuge in order to avoid the disaster, so they are now living in Chang'an. Naturally, there will be no objections.
"Zhongde, give me an order, from today onwards, Chang'an will be under martial law, only allowed to enter, not to leave, and at the same time let all the people of Chang'an keep today's affairs secret, and not let outsiders know that Chang'an has changed hands." Zhou Fan said solemnly.
This move is also a last resort. Although Chang'an has now been taken by Zhou Fan, around this Chang'an, there are also Longxi Niu Fu and Xu Rong of Hangu Pass.
If the news of Chang'an being taken away reached Dong Zhuo. I'm afraid that this old thief will detain the name of an anti-thief on himself as soon as possible, and then send troops to snatch Chang'an back without hesitation.
Although Zhou Fan was not afraid of that Dong Zhuo, he didn't want to fight with that Dong Zhuo at this time, otherwise the two of them would fight to the death here. Isn't it for nothing that the princes who watched the play in the Kanto region were cheapened, so that Zhou Fan was not so stupid. It's okay to fight, but you have to wait until Cao Cao sends out a message to Dong Wei, and then it's time for Zhou Fan to attack Hangu Pass.
And there are so many people in Chang'an, and there are many people who talk about it, and they want not to spread the news. There is only such a coercive means.
Although this move is a bit excessive, it will inevitably be questioned and opposed, but for the sake of his own plan, he can only grieve the people of Chang'an.
"No!" Cheng Yu hurriedly responded, and he also cried and laughed a little in his heart. He also understands that the government affairs of Chang'an are probably going to fall on him now, and it is still such a troublesome matter.
I believe that after Zhou Fan's order is issued, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and it will be up to him to settle it when the time comes. But it's okay like this, he is a hard worker, and these days he has put down the affairs of Yizhou, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
"What does the lord mean that we will stand still for the time being?" Zhang He asked, as soon as he heard Zhou Fan's order, he guessed Zhou Fan's current thoughts.
Zhou Fan nodded and said, "Yes, this is not a good time to send troops. ”
Hearing this, Zhang He frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong, Junyi?" Looking at Zhang He's appearance, Zhou Fan asked with some doubts.
Zhang He hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Qiqi, the last general thinks that this Hangu Pass can not be fought for the time being, but we can attack Longxi. ”
"Longxi?" Zhou Fan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think about it.
The reason why he didn't attack Hangu Pass was because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would know about his situation here.
After all, that Hangu Pass is the Xiongguan of the world, and there is a general like Xu Rong, it is almost impossible to take it down in one go.
And even if Zhou Fan can take Hangu Pass in one go, it is absolutely impossible to stop Xu Rong from sending the news out, that Hangu Pass is backed by Luoyang, I am afraid that as long as Zhou Fan hits Hangu Pass, the news will have been sent, so that what he has done will be wasted.
However, that Longxi is different, there is an entire Guanzhong in the middle of Longxi, and whether it is Niu Fu or Longxi, it is very different from Xu Rong and Hangu Guan.
If Zhou Fan is prepared, it may not be impossible to take down the troops and horses of Dong Zhuo in Longxi and not let the news go out.
"Big brother, I don't think it's appropriate!" Just when Zhou Fan was a little moved, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his mouth.
"Oh, Gongjin, what do you think?" Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Yu with interest, he also wanted to see what opinions his genius brother had.
"Not to mention the eldest brother, can you take Longxi without leaking the news, even if you can take it, in case Cao Cao suddenly issued an edict at this time, the eldest brother will inevitably miss the best time to attack Hangu Pass. And the most important thing is that even if you take Longxi now, in addition to increasing your own casualties, what use can you have for the next big plan? Zhou Yu said. (To be continued.) )
