Because of the revenge of Tong Lin's killing, Zhang Xiu made the decision to rebel, as this team is Zhang Ji's subordinates, but everyone saw the end of Li Ji and others, plus from Xiliang to Chang'an, homesick, and Li Dao and others will not win over their subordinates.

These Xiliang soldiers have long been reluctant to fight, but because of Zhang Ji's feelings, they don't dare to object, and now Zhang Xiu has pierced this layer of window paper, and everyone is secretly happy.
After Zhang Xiu gave the order to stay put, there was no opposition from the battalions. On the one hand, Zhang Xiu secretly sent an envoy to see Zhao Yun, and on the other hand, he sent a letter to Li Wei.
Zhang Xiu used the reason that the troops were not enough to resist Lu Bu, and hoped to transfer the troops and horses of Chang'an.
Jia Xu found out about the suspicion, so he said to Li Dao and Guo Yan: "This army has always been commanded by Zhang Ji, even if it is a transfer of troops, it should be proposed by Zhang Ji, but this letter is written by Zhang Xiu, you must guard against fraud!" β
Guo Yan said: "Situ is unfounded, although Zhang Ji is the commander, but the specific operations are Zhang Xiu's responsibility, now Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are equivalent to all the defenders of Chang'an, let Zhang Xiu's army go to battle, the strength is indeed insufficient, just return the soldiers and horses under his command to assist in the defense of Chang'an." β
Li Dao said: "Chang'an City has few soldiers, if the auxiliary defense is transferred away, Chang'an will only be more empty, it is better to let Zhang Ji lead the army into Chang'an City and strictly defend it." β
Jia Xu said: "It's not proper! Now Zhang Xiu is in command of the soldiers and horses, if there is a deviation, Zhang Xiu will fight back after entering the city, then we will die without a place to bury. β
Guo Yan said: "Situ is reasonable, Zhang Ji has always been obsessed with the level of power, we have to guard against it!" Now let them fight against Lu Bu, just weaken their strength, and wait for Zhang Ji's troops to be damaged before summoning him into the city, so as to ensure no worries. β
Jia Xu said: "Alas, before Zhang Xiu's attitude was clear, they were at least Xiliang's soldiers and horses. If they are defeated, we will not be spared. β
"In your opinion, what should be done?"
"Summoning Zhang Ji to lead the army under the city of Chang'an, to defend as an attack, and wait for Lu Bu to attack, when the time comes, we will defend the city, we can borrow the weapons to defend the city to assist Zhang Ji, if Zhang Ji has no dissent, he will definitely join forces with us to defend the city, if there is a suspicion of defection, we still have Chang'an City to resist him."
"Brilliant idea! That's it! β
Li Ji wrote back to Zhang Ji, asking Zhang Ji to abandon the order to attack, and withdraw to the city of Chang'an, and build a camp to deal with the attack of Jiang Sheng's forces.
After Zhang Xiu saw the letter, he knew that Li Wei was already vigilant, so he retreated according to Li Dao's instructions, and on the other hand, urged Zhao Yun to attack the city as soon as possible.
Guo Jia understood the current situation, so he coordinated LΓΌ Bu and Zhao Yun to first kill the place between Zhang Ji's camp and Chang'an City, and sent Li Tong to lead the army to plunder the formation and plan Zhang Xiu's actions.
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed when he learned that LΓΌ Bu had sent troops, so he sent a message to Li Dao, claiming that LΓΌ Bu had seized the front, and Zhang Ji's whole army did not dare to move lightly, hoping that Chang'an would send reinforcements to respond.
Jia Xu saw Zhang Xiu's letter written in the proposal to attack Lu Bu's army, after careful consideration, decided to believe Zhang Xiu, so he sent a message to Zhang Xiu, let Zhang Xiu start the war first, and when Lu Bu's army's attention was attracted by Zhang Xiu, the reinforcements from Chang'an City went out to copy the back road of Lu Bu's army.
Guo Jia planned to let Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu go to war and lure the defenders of Chang'an City out of the city.
Zhang Xiu waved his army to launch an "attack" on Lu Bu's army, and the war drums of both sides sounded fiercely, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky.
Jia Xu was still worried at first, but he heard a report from the soldiers at the head of the city that the two armies had been killed inextricably, and asked if they would send troops.
Jia Xu asked to wait, the soldiers in the city did not move, observing the situation of the battle in the distance, because the distance of the battle was relatively far, with the naked eye can only see countless soldiers fighting, all kinds of flags constantly changing positions, it seems that the fight is really fierce enough.
Guo Jia's heart was very anxious, the two armies had been "fighting" for nearly half an hour, but there were still no reinforcements coming out of Chang'an City, he was worried that if he continued to fight like this, he would be recognized by Chang'an.
He asked Li Tong to play the banner of Jiang Sheng, bluff on the periphery, and make the illusion that Jiang Sheng's army had been killed.
After Zhang Xiujun and Lu Bujun "fought" for an hour, the "Jiang Sheng army" arrived, and Zhang Xiujun "fought bloodily", broke out of the encirclement, and went straight to Chang'an City.
The guards at the head of the city saw a biao soldiers and horses killed, and hurriedly reported to Jia Xu, Jia Xu went to the city to observe, and found that it was indeed Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses, and the first general was the "Gun King of the North", Jianzhong General Zhang Xiu, so he asked why he came here?
Zhang Xiu said: "Jiang Sheng's army has been killed, our army is outnumbered, and it is lucky to kill the encirclement of Lu Bu!" Now I'm worried that Chang'an City will lose, so I'm here to defend! β
Li Dao exclaimed: "Huh? Jiang Sheng has already been killed? Fast! Hurry up and let Zhang Xiu enter the city and defend with all his might! β
Jia Xu said: "Slow down, you must guard against fraud!" Then he said to Zhang Xiu: "Please General Zhendong come out and answer!" β
Zhang Xiu was shocked, now Zhang Ji is still tied up in the rear camp, how can he be allowed to come out and answer? When he was in trouble, he saw a group of soldiers and horses in the northeast killing, Jia Xu saw that the soldiers and horses were completely different from the previous so-called "Jiang Sheng Army" costumes, which had never been seen before.
Jizhou soldiers? It seems that Jiang Sheng is really here! Li Wei hurriedly shouted: "Open the city gate!" Zhang Xiu, you go into the city quickly! β
Jia Xu dissuaded: "Let Zhang Xiu defend against the enemy outside the city!" β
Guo Yan shouted: "How can Situ be like this now? If it is a moment late, Zhang Xiujun will be defeated, and Chang'an City will be in danger! β
The two lords agreed to open the door and let Zhang Xiu enter the city, and everyone had to do so.
The gate of Chang'an was opened, Zhang Xiu waved an iron spear, and led the team into the city, Jia Xu saw that Zhang Xiujun did not look like he had gone through a vicious battle, and immediately made a decision and shouted: "I have won the plan!" Close the gates! β
The army is entering the city, and the gates can be closed? Zhang Xiujun swarmed in, and when he saw Jia Xu organizing soldiers and horses to come over, he knew that the matter had been revealed, so he shouted: "The captain has an order: those who enter the city to beg for thieves will be promoted to three levels!" Kill! β
These more than 30,000 soldiers and horses attacked the city under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, and the little troops organized by Jia Xu were quickly drowned in the tide of Zhang Xiu's army, and Jia Xu was captured alive.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dao and Guo Yan hurriedly withdrew from the city wall with their own soldiers and fled to the city.
Zhang Xiu immediately commanded his soldiers and horses to search and suppress the whole city, and surrounded all the mansions of those big officials loyal to Li Dao, Li Dao and Guo Yan were captured, and Li Ru was missing.
Guo Jia asked Li Tongjun to pretend to be Jiang Shengjun to create a deterrent, which was to force Zhang Xiu to enter the city in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect Jiang Sheng to really kill him, so he sent someone to inform Jiang Sheng of his strategy, and Jiang Sheng swaggered to Chang'an City.
At noon, Chang'an City was completely controlled by Zhang Xiu, Lu Bujun camped outside the city to rest, and Zhang Xiu personally went out of the city to welcome Jiang Sheng into the city.
