Chapter Ninety-Four: Tongguan (1)
"Open the door." The Wei army general in the gate gave an order, and the iron-clad gate of General Anxi's mansion slowly opened, and then a young general in armor and hair came out of the gate, first waved towards Wei Yanchang, and then flashed to the left side of the gate, and made a gesture to invite him in.
Wei Yan looked this young and cowardly Wei general up and down, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like Guo Huai.
"Who are you?" Wei Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Just Xiahou Nan, add the post of General Anxi." Xiahou Nan looked respectful and bowed his hand.
This guy is really not Guo Huai, Wei Yan pursed his lips and frowned: "It seems that Guo Huai still let that guy escape!" ”
After a night of scuffle, the Han army annihilated all the Wei troops in the city and completely mastered Chang'an City. However, the Han army did not have the ability or time to block the remaining eleven gates of Chang'an, so it was difficult not to let a soldier or a common person in Chang'an City escape without slipping through the net.
"But ......" Immediately, the corners of Wei Yan's mouth pulled into a grim smile, "Being able to kill Jia Xu and capture Xiahou Nan alive is enough to establish my Wei Yanhe's prestige!" ”
At this moment, Deng Ai suddenly came to Wei Yan's side with an excited expression, and said mysteriously: "General Wei, we captured Xiahou Nan alive, Xiahou Nan is the chief general of the Yongliang Wei army, maybe ...... We can use him to make money and close the door. ”
Earn to open and close the door?
Syllable!
Wei Yan clapped his big hand, glanced at Deng Ai, and praised: "You kid is still smart!" ”
General Anzai's Palace
The Han army searched the entire mansion, but did not find Xiahou Nan's seal letter, which was a bit unexpected by everyone, Xiahou Nan's mansion did not have his seal letter! If there is no Xiahou Nan's seal letter, it would be wishful thinking to deceive Kaitongguan.
searched all over the mansion, and there was no shadow of the seal ribbon in Guan, Wei Yan became angry, and twisted Xiahou Nan's clothes and shouted: "Speak quickly!" Where's your seal of protection! ”
Xiahou Nan was picked up in mid-air by Wei Yan, his hands and feet subconsciously danced and kicked wildly, and he said with a crying voice on his depressed face: "This, this, I don't know it, fortunately, it was taken away by Guo Huai in a panic." ”
Throwing Xiahou Nan to the ground with his backhand, Wei Yan clapped his hands with his fist and said hatefully: "There is no Guan Guan Yinxin, so you can only attack Tongguan?" ”
If you want to storm Tongguan, you must have siege equipment, and I don't know if there is one in the Chang'an arsenal.
At that moment, Wei Yan turned around and instructed the partial general Gao Xiang and said: "Gao Xiang, you immediately lead the troops to seal the arsenal of Chang'an, and then send troops to the streets, I don't care what method you use, be sure to arrest all the blacksmiths, carpenters, and weaponsmiths in Chang'an City before it gets dark today, go quickly!" ”
Wei Yan is also just in case, in case there are no siege equipment in the arsenal, then it must be built as soon as possible.
As for blacksmiths and weaponsmiths, by the way, they can also create some weapons, especially arrows and armor, and the Chang'an Han army is now in urgent need of a large number of arrows and armor to strengthen the ability to attack fortifications.
"No!" Gao Xiang agreed and took the order.
Wei Yan said to Sima Deng Ai, the general of Zhenbei: "Shizai, this general will give you a thousand people, and the task of blockading Chang'an City will be handed over to you...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”
Then, Wei Yan turned around and instructed Wei Chang, the eldest son beside the guard, to say: "Wei Chang, you lead people to take Xiahou Nan into custody, if you let this guy escape, then you are asking!" ”
"No!" Wei Chang also hurriedly hugged his fists and promised.
**************
All the way to the west, on the endless official road
Guo Huai and Dai Ling were covered in blood and embarrassed, and led a group of remnants of more than 100 people to run all the way to the west.
After Guo Huai escaped from Chang'an, he did not immediately retreat to the east to defend Tongguan, but turned around and fled all the way to the west.
The group of people did not stop, galloping all the way, and suddenly Guo Huai grabbed the horse's head and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Dai Ling was puzzled, and asked the horse: "Guo Tingshi, why don't you leave?" ”
Guo Huai gasped heavily, and suddenly shouted: "Diversion, let's not go to Longxi!" ”
Dai Ling was puzzled: "General, didn't you say that there are still thousands of soldiers on the front line of Chencang, Meicheng, and Wugong, and the counties of Longxi can also summon county soldiers, so let's go there?" ”
"No!" Guo Huai shook his head vigorously and reminded Dai Ling: "General Dai, if you think about it, Wei Yan dared to lead the army out of the Meridian Valley to attack Chang'an, which means that the Shu army must still have a backhand, otherwise he will only take a lonely city when he conquers Chang'an, and it will be a place of death!" ”
After all, Dai Ling was in the army, and after Guo Huai's prompt, he immediately reacted, "Guo Tingshi is saying, is it saying that there is still a Shu army that is likely to come from the west?" ”
"Yes!" Guo Huai affirmed it heavily, and then said: "Let's change our direction immediately and go to Liangzhou, there are still 6,000 troops of Hao Zhao, Wei Ping and Niu Jin generals and tens of thousands of county soldiers in Liangzhou. Although the Shu army will soon sweep through the pass, as long as it is waited for His Majesty and the imperial court to requisition hundreds of thousands of troops into the pass, it is not yet known who will die! ”
Speaking of this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Guo Huai's deep eyes, and he said fiercely: "Let's protect Liangzhou and wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements westward, not only can we make meritorious contributions to the crime, but it may not be impossible to find Wei Yan to avenge a stone." ”
"And this is also the reason why I took away Xiahou Nan's stupid customs protection letter."
After listening to Guo Huai's favorable analysis, Dai Ling barely cheered up, hugged his fists and said, "Okay, it's all up to Guo Tingshi's orders." ”
"Drive!" With a terrible howl, Guo Huai and his entourage turned their horses' heads and looked north.
**************************
In Chang'an, Wei Yanzheng was surrounded by Wang Ping, Gao Xiang, and Deng Ai generals to inspect the arsenal in the north of the city.
Gao Xiang's face was full of red light, and he said excitedly while leading the way in front: "General Wei, we are really rich this time, the Chang'an arsenal is full of swords, halberds and shields, not to mention that it can also arm an army of 50,000!" ”
As he was talking, Wei Yan and the others walked into one of the warehouses.
I saw that a whole row of bungalows were piled up with battle robes and leather armor, and the height of the stacks was almost level with the beams.
The remaining rows of bungalows were stacked with double-edged swords, halberds, shields and other weapons, as well as a small amount of iron armor.
Deng Ai was not too surprised by these unexpected gains, Chang'an is the governor of Yongzhou, coupled with Zhong Xuan and Guo Huai's governance for many years, it became the base camp of the Wei army in Guanzhong many years ago, so it is not uncommon to hoard so many swords, halberds, shields and armor in Chang'an's arsenal.
Even the warehouses in Chang'an were filled with grain, hundreds of thousands of stone of military food, enough for more than 10,000 Han troops to eat for several years, these grains were sent to Chang'an from Xuchang Taicang, which was the wartime military food prepared by the Wei army, but now it has all become the trophies of the Han army.
In fact, compared to swords, halberds, shields, armor and food, Deng Ai, like Wei Yan, cared more about siege equipment.
However, it is a pity that the heavy siege equipment that the two of them want the most, such as ladders and siege vehicles, are the same, until they inspect the entire arsenal, no one can find a ladder or a siege vehicle!
