There were still many soldiers in Chang'an City who resisted, but they were quickly extinguished by Wei Rui's troops. Zhang He was recuperating from his injuries in Chang'an and was also captured by Xue Rengui and others.

Chang'an gained a lot in the first battle, killing Xiahou Yuan and capturing Zhang He, Zhang Ji, and Hao Zhao. More than 10,000 Cao troops, more than 30,000 war horses, and 4 million grains and grass were captured.

With Chang'an's grain and grass, Xue Rengui can continue to use soldiers.

He grabbed the map and began to give orders. Gao Changgong led 10,000 cavalry to raid Tongguan and block the soldiers and horses in the direction of Luoyang. Hua Rong led his troops to collect the counties of Youfufeng, while Wei Rui led his troops to attack the counties of Zuofeng Yi to the north, blocking the west bank of the river, so as not to give Cao's army another chance to cross from Puban to the west. Zhuge Liang led his troops to recover Jingzhaoyin, and then supported Tongguan.

There are many counties in Youfufeng that are still under Cao Cao's command, and they didn't attack before because they had to fight against Xiahou Yuan, so they didn't have time to pay attention. Now that Chang'an has been breached, it is natural to recover these counties.

Hua Rong set out with 5,000 cavalry from Chang'an, directly attacked Meiyang, and then went north to Duyang to attack Yongxian, Yulu, and Wangxian. After completing this task, Hua Rong will return to Ji County to replenish grain and grass, and then go to Longxi County in detail to attack Song Jian, who is in Caohan.

Wei Rui went to Gaoling to join Yang Zhi and attack Gaoling together. After conquering Gaoling, the troops were immediately divided. Wei Rui attacked Wannian, Lotus Spoon, Chongquan, and Linjin to the east, and garrisoned on the opposite bank of Pusaka.

Yang Zhi attacked Yunyang to the north, and continued to go north to take Xunyi, which was on the right side of Fufeng. After that, he attacked Qixu and Pinyang in the east, Suyi and Yaxian in the north, and then attacked Xiayang and Haoyang in the east, and joined forces with Wei Rui.

Zhuge Liang walked to Baling, Zheng County, and Huayin to protect Gao Changgong's grain road.

When Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he did not expect that Chang'an would be defeated or even annihilated, so he did not garrison the generals at Tongguan at all.

In his thoughts, even if Chang'an is defeated, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He will definitely withdraw their troops to Tongguan and defend it.

But where did the thought it would be? Chang'an was not only lost, but also completely lost, directly losing the army.

The Tongguan guard is just an unknown person, and his ability is just like that.

This morning, he opened and closed the people as usual, and then he made some money. Today, a lot of people appeared outside the customs early, and they can collect a lot of fees for entering the city, and the generals who guard the customs can also make a lot of money themselves.

The people outside the city were also very cooperative today, and they didn't need him to shout a few times at all, and they handed over three five-baht coins per person. Cao Cao's order here is one for one person, and he can be greedy for one for himself, and give one to the soldiers below, so that you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.

But less than half an hour after the city opened, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the distance, as if it had thundered. The soldiers below were puzzled, looking around to see what the sound was. But the generals guarding the pass saw it really at the head of the city, and a large number of cavalry appeared in the west, and the banner was not that of any of their own generals, it was a high character.

The general guarding the gate immediately startled and shouted loudly to the below: "Close the city gate quickly, there are enemy troops!" ”

The soldiers of the city hurried to expel those who had entered the city, and prepared to close the gates. But the people outside the city did not do it, and they crowded to the gates, shouting, "Let us in, and we will die outside the city." ”

The guards of the city pushed outward, and the people outside the city squeezed inward, so they blocked the city gate and did not move.

The general guarding the pass was in a hurry, hurriedly ran down from the city, drew his ring head knife and cut down a person who was squeezing inward, and shouted: "If you dare to squeeze again, I will kill you now!" ”

The crowd was shocked, and they really didn't dare to squeeze. At this moment, several big men suddenly came out from behind him, and one of them kicked him to the ground, picked up his ring head knife, and killed him.

Several other big men also grabbed weapons, and the person led by shouted: "Zhang Zheng is here in the east, don't you wait to surrender early?" ”

Some of the soldiers tried to rush over, but a lot of people appeared in the crowd and killed them. Don't look at these people don't have long weapons, but each person has a dagger in his hand, and he also dances like a tiger, and writing down a child is a human life.

Soon the gang took control of the city gates, and then let the people outside the city gates into the city and controlled them aside.

Gao Changgong led the cavalry to the Tongguan Pass slowly, looked at the surrounding crowd casually, glanced at the prisoners, and didn't care, so he let people take over the city defense and wait for Zhuge Liang's arrival.

Gao Changgong is very casual, but the people he looks at are not good. They only saw a blue-faced and fanged man look at them, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, not seeing that it was a mask at all.

They all thought that they had been seen by an evil spirit, and they were so frightened that some of them even collapsed on the ground.

After these people were released, there was a ghost general under Zhang Yi immediately, and he was scared of the Tongguan guards to surrender just by relying on his own momentum.

People who know about it are all talking about it, and they all say that Gao Changgong will have such an effect with a mask.

People who don't know are even more crazy to spread at this time, and those who believe in it say that they must avoid this ghost general, so as not to be eaten soul.

Those who don't believe it scoff, thinking that it's nothing more than a lie from ordinary people.

But it is undeniable that with the spread of this matter, Zhang Yi's popularity has suddenly increased. Gao Changgong's own name does not appear in this story, but Zhang Yi's name appears many times.

In the past, Zhang Yi had always been regarded by many people as a small warlord in the south, and he didn't even know that Zhang Yi's territory had surpassed Cao Cao's.

Since then, everyone in the world has known Zhang Yi's name, and Zhang Yi has to thank Gao Changgong!

After Zhuge Liang arrived at Tongguan and joined Gao Changgong, he began to send people to reconnoiter the road, looking for a way to figure out with Wancheng.

If the grain and grass in Tongguan can be provided by Wancheng, the grain road will be much shorter, and the grain consumption will be correspondingly less.

Not only that, but Zhang Yi's offensive path will also increase accordingly, and he can directly attack Luoyang from Wancheng and threaten the northwest of Xuchang.

With Runan in the southeast, Nanyang in the southwest, and Luoyang in the northwest, Cao Cao will definitely abandon Xuchang and move north. In this way, it will not only work hard to mobilize the people, but also damage people's expectations.

Cao Cao's prestige accumulated over the years allows him to suppress the following people who have abnormal movements, but after his prestige is greatly damaged, there will definitely be many people who will rise up against his "tyranny".

You must know that there are many people in the four northern states who miss Yuan Shao's rule, and Cao Cao can be said to have killed many people in these four states. At that time, many peasants fled, chose to surrender but were still killed by him, plus he killed Yuan Jun, many people gritted their teeth at him!
