The war in Xicheng is tight, and if the people rebel again at this time, and there are internal and external troubles, Chang'an may not be able to be saved. Cao Shuang was thinking in his mind, and looked up at Xicheng, "Uncle, you must hurry." "From time to time, the house slaves guarding the city on the city wall were hit by arrows and fell, and the house slaves defending the city suffered heavy casualties. The shouts of the battle in Xicheng were higher and higher.

The Sun family and the Yang family also made a move at this time, and rushed into the streets under the leadership of Sun Tong and Yang Zhen respectively, blending into the ranks of the people. "Folks, it was Prime Minister Cao Cheng who gave us today's good days." A young man among the people shouted, "Now that the Xiliang Army wants to take away our stable days, can we agree?" ”

"Can't! No! The others chimed in, and the group was generous. Cao Cao pacified Guanzhong, although he did not make everyone rich, but he was much more stable than when Guo Yan and Li Wei were in power, and at least he would no longer worry about his life. Now that the Xiliang Army wants to break all this, of course they will not agree.

There are many palaces built in Chang'an City, and there are fewer places for the people to live, and the number of people is also small. They carried all kinds of farm tools or wooden sticks in their hands, and one group of people went towards Jianzhang Palace in the central street, and the other group went towards Xicheng. The two groups of the Sun family and the Yang family stood on the street and suddenly didn't know what to do, they originally wanted to follow these people to fish in troubled waters, but they didn't expect that these people would suddenly diverge.

Sun Tong raised his chin towards Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen nodded to show that he understood, and then took the Yang family to the west of the city, Yu Bin found that the people were just to help each other defend the city, only the Sun family and the Yang family were bad-hearted, and his heart hanging in the air was also relaxed. Yu Bin also made corresponding adjustments, and the bad people were also divided into two groups, one went to Jianzhang Palace, and the other went to the west of the city. After receiving the report from the bad guys, Zhong Miao and Cao Shuang relieved themselves.

A group of people came to stop in front of Jianzhang Palace with various agricultural tools, and the palace door creaked open. Zhong Miao led a group of people to the front of the people, first made a salute, and the people hurriedly knelt down to return the salute. Zhong Miao said unhurriedly, "Thank you for your kindness, the old man is here." Cheng entrusted Guanzhong to the old decay for many years, and repeatedly told the old decay to put the people first in everything. If you are asked to protect the old man today, defend Chang'an, and make the old man uneasy, then what is the use of these soldiers? Everyone go home for the time being, Zhong Xuan guarantees that he is in the city. ”

Zhong Xuan's words are reasonable, and they have won the hearts of the people in Chang'an, and some people nodded frequently after listening to the words. The people began to go home of their own accord. Sun Tong was very disappointed and wanted to take this opportunity to hijack Zhong Xuan. At this time, they had to leave, and the soldiers around Zhong Xuan cleaned them up enough. The bad guys stared at Sun Tong and his party, and on the central street, Yu Bin blocked Sun Tong, who wanted to go to Xicheng to meet Yang Zhen, and Sun Tong had no choice but to return to Sun's house. Zhong Xuan and Cao Shuang hurried to Xicheng, only to see bad people blocking the people under the city. Zhong Miao persuaded the people to go home with affection and reason, but left Yang Zhen and his party behind.

"Your master doesn't want to rebel, does he?" Zhong Xuan asked with a smile.

Yang Zhen hurriedly defended, "No, no, my master asked me to wait to help guard Chang'an and solve problems for the imperial court." ”

"If it's not a rebellion, then don't go, stay and see what you can help." Zhong Xuan's meaning was very clear, daring to leave was a rebellion, and Yang Zhen had no choice but to lead everyone to stay.

"Put!" At the order of one of the captains, the hot oil pouring green smoke poured down the city walls, and the hot oil made a sizzling sound. The ladders that were climbing and the soldiers of Xiliang who were pushing the siege vehicles made a tooth-aching shout, and some people were lying on the ground and rolling, and the soldiers in the back were glad that they were not rushing in front.

The fire borrowed the oil potential, and the fire was whirring, and the smell of burning was disgusting. Liang Xing and Ma Play's hearts are dripping blood, and these soldiers are their belongings. The fire was so great that the Xiliang army had to slow down its offensive. At this time, the rain of arrows on the city wall came again, and the simple catapults creaked and countless stones whizzed. One couldn't dodge, and he became a ghost under the stone. Liang Xing's personal guards erected shields to protect Liang Xing and the others behind him, Liang Xing licked his chapped lips, his mouth was bitter, and he spat fiercely.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Liang Xing's camp was suddenly attacked by Cao's army. The Cao army was numerous, and the Liang army that remained behind was no match for the Cao army at all. In an instant, Cao's army poured into the camp like a black torrent, and Xiahou Yuan pulled out a spear from a corpse, "Sons, don't fall in love with war and set fire to the camp." The same scene also happened in other camps of the Xiliang Army, the weather was dry, the fire spread, and the fire burst into the sky in a moment. The soldiers who stayed in the camp hurriedly rushed to report to their lord. Ma Chao's soldiers staying in the camp were very nervous, and hurriedly sent people to ask for help, but Cao Jun did not attack Ma Chao's camp, and they were all far away like hiding from the plague. Although Ma Chao's soldiers didn't understand why, they were very happy in their hearts.

"My lord, it's not good." A Liang soldier who stayed in the camp hurriedly came to Liang Xing, I don't know whether he couldn't get angry or lost too much blood, and his face turned pale.

Liang Xing used his sword to cut off the arrow stuck in his arm, and kicked the soldier who came to report to the ground, "Blind your eyes." "Now the war is anxious, and the messenger knows that he has said the wrong thing, but the military situation is urgent, so he can only say hard, "Our army's camp was attacked by Cao's army, and the grain and grass were burned. ”

"What?" After hearing the news, Liang Xing only felt that the world was spinning, his scalp was numb, two arrows grazed Liang Xing's scalp, and the helmet was bounced into the air and fell to the ground. If it weren't for the guards who stepped forward in time to protect them, the two arrows would have stuck into Liang Xing's head. Liang Xing didn't care about the wound and ordered the army to retreat. Ma Play and Cheng Yin moved closer to Liang Xing under the protection of their own guards, "It is not good for our army to withdraw troops at this time, Brother Liang thinks twice." How could Liang Xing not know, but he was bitter in his heart, and explained the situation, Ma Wan and Cheng Yin also supported the withdrawal of troops, and the backyard caught fire and had to be saved.

With the issuance of the order to retreat from Liang Xing and Ma Play, the soldiers who rushed to the front retreated one after another. At this time, the Xiliang army tried their best to escape from the battlefield, and the mother-in-law at home was still waiting for them to go back, and they didn't want to explain to Chang'an like this.

Ma Chao, who followed Liang Xing's three departments, even if he was stupid, knew that this was a trap at this time. Ma Chao looked at the falling wood and stones on the city wall, his masseter muscles bulged high, and his eyes seemed to be able to spew out two fire dragons. At this time, the soldiers in Ma Chao's camp who asked for help also came to report. Ma Chao knew that only by breaking Chang'an could he break the situation at this time.

"Order all departments not to take half a step back, violators will be beheaded!" A Liang sergeant who ran out of Chang'an City was pierced by Ma Chao's shot, and blood splashed on the white robe, which was particularly dazzling. Liang Xing escaped from Xicheng in the rain of arrows and stones, and saw Ma Chao attack his soldiers, Yuma rushed forward and swung Ma Chao's spear, and roared viciously, "General Ma didn't come forward to kill the enemy, but slaughtered Pao Ze here, isn't it?" After this battle, Liang Xing and other troops suffered countless casualties, and the suspicion of surrendering Cao had been cleared, and the tone of his voice naturally hardened.

"Humph! Those who have escaped from the battle, as they should be. Ma Chao replied confidently and withdrew his spear.

"You can't come forward to help us fight, and you can't protect our food and grass. What is your face in this mouth? Ma Chao was forced speechless by Liang Xing, and Liang Xing arched his hand and led people away.

After Li Kan, Yang Qiu, and Cheng Yi learned that the camp was lost, they hurriedly withdrew their troops, and the departments that followed Ma Chao also said goodbye to Ma Chao and withdrew their troops and returned. If the Xiliang army stormed Chang'an, it was uncertain who would kill the deer. It's just that Liang Xing and the others are worried that all the grain and grass in their camp will be withdrawn, and the general trend has gone, and Ma Chao has to retreat and return to the camp. Before retiring from the army, Ma Dai suggested leaving a soldier and horse to avoid being pursued by the Cao army.
