The two sides are tense, and war is on the verge of breaking out.

Before the Xiliang army was about to attack, someone sent a bamboo pipe to Zhong Xuan's hand. After Zhong Xuan saw the cloth in the bamboo pipe, he hurriedly sent someone to transfer the bamboo pipe to Cao Shuang, the situation was urgent, and the person who sent the letter did not dare to delay. Cao Shuang unfolded the cloth in the bamboo pipe and looked at it, his brows furrowed, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but his face quickly recovered as before, but the green tendons on his arms that erupted from holding the cloth did not disappear for a long time.

sent the messenger and replied to Zhong Xuan to reassure him. Cao Shuang habitually touched his forehead and beckoned to the tiger guards outside the door, these tiger guards were all sent by Cao Cao to protect Cao Shuang.

The Tiger Guard Wu Chang clenched his fists and asked, "I don't know what Gongzi commands?" ”

"Do you know Yin Ke?" Cao Shuang's voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

Wu Chang nodded, "Yes." ”

"Okay, you take the Tiger Guard to Xicheng immediately. If Yin Ke has any abnormal movements, control him immediately, and Zhao Kuan can't let him go. When Cao Shuang said these words, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"And what about your safety?" Captain Wu, who had always been neat in carrying out orders, suddenly hesitated. Because Cao Cao sent them to protect Cao Shuang, if they left their posts without permission, Cao Shuang would have made some mistakes, and they would lose their lives, but it would damage the honor of Huwei, and I would be even more sorry for Cao Cao.

Looking at the abnormal Wu Chang, Cao Shuang understood the joints, and hooked his hand towards Wu Chang, "No one can save my head when Chang'an City is broken." ”

Wu Chang knew that what Cao Shuang said was not alarmist, on the day the city was broken, people like Cao Shuang were military merits and high-ranking officials. Thinking of this, Wu Chang left two people to protect Cao Shuang, and rushed to Xicheng with the remaining tiger guards.

A carriage stopped at a private house in Chang'an, and several men in black leaned forward, "Brother, this is not a place to have fun." A sign came out of the carriage, "I want to see you, General Yu." "These people are all pretended to be bad people, and the houses are the strongholds of the bad people to spy on the families in the city. After the leader of the men in black took the sign, he looked up at the people in the car, and immediately changed his face to a smiling face, "Childe, please." ”

The person who came was Cao Shuang, as soon as he entered the house, Yu Bin, who received the report, came to greet Cao Shuang, "The big war is coming, why did the son come?" ”

"Did they make any moves?" Cao Shuang handed the cloth in the bamboo pipe to Yu Bin.

Yu Bin spread the cloth in his hand, "The Sun family and the Yang family are gathering house slaves, and it seems that they don't just want to take care of the family care home. ”

"Keep a close watch, and don't let them spoil anything." Cao Shuang turned his words and glanced at the cloth, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"Please rest assured, Childe, we have a dark line around Yin Ke. If he dares to make any moves, he will surely die. Although Yu Bin was smiling, there was murder in his eyes.

The carriage disappeared into the Jianzhang Palace under the cover of darkness.

At three o'clock, three torches swayed above the west city of Chang'an. These three torches were exceptionally bright in the dark, Ma Chao was very excited, his right hand was pounded on his left hand, and he ordered Liang Xing's three men and horses to attack Chang'an from Xicheng according to the original plan. Looking at the west gate of Chang'an in front of him, the soldier's eyes flashed with a strange light. Through this wall in front of you, you can get gold, silver, jewelry, women, and high-ranking officials; Passing through the city wall in front of you, you will find the flower world of the Central Plains; Walk through the wall in front of them, where they have everything they want.

Walk through the outer city walls, except for the flags fluttering. There were no other sounds. One of Liang Xing's guards stepped forward and shouted towards the city wall, "I am the personal guard under Liang Xing's department in Xiliang, and I don't want to open the city gate quickly and let us in." Before the word "city" came out, he only heard a whoosh, and the guard fell to the ground, and the arrow on his neck kept shaking and buzzing. Immediately afterwards, countless torches were erected on the city wall, and countless arrows poured down, and the Xiliang soldiers at the forefront of the siege team did not have time to react, and turned into hedgehogs.

At this moment, Liang Xing, Ma Wan, and Cheng Yin all knew in their hearts that what the blackbird said was true, but the three of them didn't have time to regret it, and they used the weapons in their hands to block the arrows. The Xiliang soldiers were well-knighted, and they saw that they turned to one side slightly, and one of them hid in their stomachs to dodge the flying arrows. Except for the unlucky ghosts at the beginning, the later arrows had little effect.

As soon as the arrow attack was small, Liang Xing organized the project. The soldiers of the Western Liang began to attack the city with the simple ladder they had built. After experiencing the initial panic, the Xiliang soldiers also began to counterattack, and the soldiers in the rear took bows and arrows to cover the attack of the besieging troops. For a time, the arrow offensive of the defenders of Chang'an was suppressed by the Xiliang army. The domestic slaves of each family hid behind the arrow stacks, and some people kept trembling, chattering in their mouths, praying for free shipping from the gods and goddesses. The Xicheng guard stepped forward and kicked a few people hard, "Get up for Lao Tzu, the Xiliang army will attack the city, and no one will be able to fucking live." Go and move the wood and stones, and heat the oil. At this time, there must be no retreat, the house slaves went to move the wood and stones one after another, and some of the Xiliang soldiers who climbed up the ladder did not have time to dodge, fell from a high place, pulled out a few times, and then there was no movement.

Xicheng was in flames, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Yang Qiu leaned on the big trees with grass stems in his mouth, very leisurely. Compared to the West City, the North City besieged by Yang Qiu was very quiet. The Xiliang army under the city was very loose, and after waiting for the Xicheng to be breached, they swaggered into the city from the northern city. Think of the women in the city with their thin skin and tender flesh, and they have a fire burning in them. Although there was no battle, the soldiers on the city wall were not so easy. Because except for Xicheng, there are only a few defenders left in the other three cities, and the rest are all scarecrows.

In the grass in the distance of Beicheng, a group of soldiers in black armor and black armor left Beicheng and rushed to the camp of the Xiliang Army under the cover of night. The leader was Xiahou Yuan, he looked back at the brightly lit Jianzhang Palace, and silently said in his heart, "Ah Shuang, you must hold on." "Jianzhang Palace was built by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and for safety, Zhong Xuan brought people into Jianzhang Palace.

On the palace wall of Jianzhang Palace, Zhong Xuan and Cao Shuang always paid attention to the battle situation in Xicheng, and the soldiers who reported the news continued to go back and forth between Xicheng and Jianzhang Palace. A soldier hurriedly climbed the palace wall of Jianzhang Palace, "Report! Lots of people poured into the streets. ”

This news seemed to be like a thunderbolt, which caught everyone off guard, and some officials who followed Zhong Miao began to panic. Zhong Xuan's face didn't have any expression, and he waved his hand, "Probe, report again." ”

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, Cao Shuang, who was not far away, still saw Zhong Xuan's body trembling. People rushed to the streets despite the curfew, and there was only one situation, and that was a rebellion. During curfews, it was a great sin to go out on the streets without permission, especially in wartime.
