Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Rebellion in Chang'an (I)

After Tai led the crowd to surrender to Han, he wanted to fall under Tian Jing's command, but it may not be a good thing for the red-eyed people and horses who were killed the day before to suddenly join forces. Tian Jingjuan, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", invited Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun asked him to temporarily take the post of governor of Hedong, let him settle down the place, and recruit the surrounding white wave thieves.

After resting, the army marched out, and ten days later the army came to the city of Anyi. When the army arrived, Zhang Quan had already arrived in Anyi three days in advance, and fought with the Baibo army twice, and the two sides won and lost each other. Zhu Jun asked Zhang Quan to join forces before he climbed the tower to observe the form of Anyi.

The city of Anyi is high and deep, and it is indeed a dangerous terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, a lot of trenches have just been dug outside the city, which are full of bamboo spears, and if they fall, they will die in nine lives, which increases the difficulty of attacking the city. Tian Jing looked at the defense outside the city, and suddenly thought of Gongsun Zhan's Yi Jingcheng, although it was much simpler than Yi Jing, but the form was the same, and he couldn't help but wonder where this Hu Cai was sacred?

In fact, Tian Jing, Mao An, and Qi Tai also asked about Hu Cai's situation, but they didn't know the origin of this person. I only know that he came to Hedong a year ago, and not only was he immediately trusted by Han Xian Li Le, but also won the position of Sanqu Shuai. Especially Han Xian and Li Le are not in harmony, and as soon as Hu Cai came, the two of them put aside their disputes for the time being and worked together with the outside world. I don't know how Hu Cai has such great ability.

Tian Jing thought to himself, some things can't be figured out, and there will definitely be a chance to know the true identity of this Hu Cai in the future.

Zhu Jun's army had a total of five or six thousand people, and there were no less than 50,000 white wave thieves in the city. Zhu Jun knew that it was better to capture Anyi slowly than in a hurry, so he let a group of soldiers and horses go to call for battle every day, and if the enemy went out of the city, he would defeat him and frustrate the enemy's spirit; If the enemy can't retreat, then let the army build equipment to climb the city, or prepare the earthwork to fill the trenches, and so on. Fortunately, the army has enough food and grass, and can hold out with the enemy army for at least half a year. Zhu Jun believed that the Baibo thief army was a rabble, and it would definitely be separated over time, and when the thieves in the city were unstable, the army could break the siege in one fell swoop. The only fear was that the Hun cavalry would go south, and if that was the case, it would inevitably be a tough battle. However, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and there was no reason to cower because they were worried about the Huns. In order to be just in case, Zhu Jun asked Wu Fang, the captain of Changshui, to lead the men and horses of his headquarters to be a ranger, and expand the range of scouts to a hundred miles away, if the Huns came, they could also prepare early.

Speaking of the Xiongnu is something that Tian Jing has always been worried about, because Li Dang took the lead in going south, and the main force of the reserve Baimayi battalion should have been brought south within ten days to converge. But now it has been more than half a month, and there is no information about Leping. However, Tian Jing believed that the five hundred reserve white horse righteous servants he brought out could not be said to win a hundred battles, but the possibility of being completely wiped out by the enemy was almost zero. If there is something, I am afraid that someone will come back to report it a long time ago. So now there is no news, but good news.

On this day, Zhu Jun summoned Tian Jing to the tent to discuss matters, but he asked when Zhang Yan, whom Tian Jing mentioned earlier, would be able to go to Hedong?

Tian Jing hurriedly replied: "I thought that the general would only consider the matter of Tuntian after pacifying Hedong, but since the general asked, I wrote a letter asking Zhang Yan to come to Anyi to see the general." As for the tools and grains needed in Tuntian, Zhang Yan had already made arrangements, and I still had thousands of troops in Tuntian who thought Zhang Yan would deploy them. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Yan arrived in Hedong, he could immediately start his work. ”

Zhu Jun was very satisfied when he heard this, "This is very good, then Zhang Yan doesn't have to rush to Anyi, I will send a letter of appointment, and let him go to Pusaka to preside over the affairs of Tuntian." Now we have captured not 10,000 but 8,000 white wave thieves, and it is always a hidden danger to be placed in the rear, and this one can mobilize these people as soon as he arrives. And seeing that the winter snow will melt and everything will recover, it is the time to sow seeds. This military matter is a good government for the benefit of one side and cannot be delayed. ”

Tian Jing agreed, "Yes." I'll arrange it. After Zhang Yan went to Pusaka to settle down for a while, I asked him to come to Anyi to see the general, although the general trusted, he still had to see this person as soon as he saw it. ”

Zhu Jun didn't blame Tian Jing for being steady, but he should have seen this Zhang Yan, so he said, "That's fine." ”

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Tian Jing got up and said goodbye, so he went to write a letter to Zhang Yan. This letter will be delivered to Wannian at least half a moon, Tian Jing pondered that it was time to consider the matter of breeding carrier pigeons, otherwise it would be a mistake for this army to deliver the news. I heard that in the early Han Dynasty, Gaozu had used carrier pigeons to transmit information, but I didn't know if I could find such a talent.

Just when Tian Jing's letter to Zhang Yan was still on the way, a major incident happened around Chang'an. Chiyang City was breached, Li Jin's brother and son Zhonglang killed Li Jin in battle, and the 5,000 defenders of Chiyang were annihilated. This time Chang'an was shaken, and the government and the opposition were in chaos. The general Li Wei asked his nephew Hu Feng to lead the army to help Chang'an in the starry night, and it would take at least five days for his soldiers and horses to come back. On the side of Fufeng County, Guo Yan had been defeated in successive battles before, and he had retreated from Wangxian County to Meiyang, and his martial arts were in the area. Qi County was lost in the north, and although it blocked the enemy's southward movement all the way, it was obviously ineffective. This time, it was the Xiongnu Zuoxian King who broke through Chiyang.

It is estimated that when Li Dao comes back, he will definitely negotiate with Guo Yan because of the loss of Chiyang, but I am afraid that it will be another unspeakable confused account. But now the problem is that Chiyang and Chang'an are close at hand, and the Hun cavalry can arrive in one day. If you don't send heavy troops to fortify by the Weishui River, guard the Weishui Bridge. I'm afraid that the Hun cavalry will be out of control when they really arrive at Chang'an City.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was very scared, when Li Guo was in Chang'an before, he always felt uncomfortable. Now that the two of them are gone, Chang'an has left him in charge, and in the face of the Huns' attack, Liu Xie suddenly felt that there was no rule. asked hundreds of officials, but they couldn't come up with a countermeasure for a long time. Some say that the Weiqiao Bridge was demolished, some say that the strong walls outside Chang'an City are clear, and some say that the emperor temporarily moved the capital to Shangluo to avoid the edge, in short, it is all bad ideas.

At the critical moment, it was the Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao who came out to speak, "Shengshang, according to the minister's opinion, although this Hun is powerful, but the strong attack on Chiyang, although the big victory is only afraid of losses, it is not small, and now he resolutely does not dare to advance alone." And even if the Huns come, Chang'an City is high and deep, and there are still more than 10,000 defenders, so I am afraid that even if it is attacked, it will be difficult to shake the defense of Chang'an City. When the time comes, when the general returns to the division, King Zuoxian of the Huns is only afraid that it will be difficult to fly with wings. The plan for now is to send troops to Weiqiao to defend, the minister thinks that when this crisis, should not stick to the law, His Majesty should recruit Yulin, and the city gate captain soldiers and horses to go north to Weiqiao, and the ruling Jinwu will take over the defense of the twelve city gates in the capital. At the same time, Dong Cheng, the general of Anji, and Yang Ding, the general of Anxi, led the army to Qinwang. This gives you peace of mind. ”

When Liu Xie heard the plan of Taiwei Yang Biao, it really didn't leak. This Yulin is the strongest force in the capital, and although the Yulin army rarely goes on expeditions, it is well-prepared and well-trained. The soldiers and horses of the captain of the city gate are also considered elite, at least more than a hundred times stronger than the ordinary county soldiers. The key is that most of the henchmen under the command of the captain of the city gate used to be Li and Guo's henchmen, and now it is good to let Zhi Jinwu take charge of the defense of the twelve gates of the capital, and then Zhi Jinwu is his own father-in-law, so he is naturally relieved. As for the requisition of Dong Cheng and Yang Ding, the key is that they are now the closest to the capital, one is a garrison to dominate the tomb, and the other is a garrison to the tomb, and no one else can catch up except for the two of them. Although these two people are also from the Liangzhou Army, they have never been close to Li and Guo. Moreover, Dong Cheng also has a daughter who has just entered the palace and has been crowned a nobleman. It's reliable to think about. Liu Xie thought of this, and immediately agreed to Yang Biao's proposal, made a will, and immediately implemented it.

The soldiers and horses who had finished the ambush had just mastered the defense of the various gates of Chang'an, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were also extra careful. Today's defense of the city gate is the city gate official Zhao Wu, the day has just received the order of the Lord Jin Wu to ambush the lord, no matter who wants to enter the city, must report in advance, but I didn't expect to see a large army of soldiers and horses coming at night. Zhao Wu was startled when he asked, it was none other than Guo Yan, the general of the chariot cavalry. According to the regulations, the city gate of Chang'an cannot be opened at night, and no matter how urgent it is, it will have to wait until early tomorrow morning. But it was the general of the chariot cavalry, Guo Yan, but it was a different story. Zhao Wu hurriedly confessed, saying that he would open the door immediately after asking Shangguan for instructions.

At this time, the people under the city stopped doing it, "Damn, what kind of person is so bold, the chariot and cavalry generals are handsome and the soldiers are diligent kings, and there is an urgent military intelligence report to the saint, if it is delayed, you will be punished by the nine clans." Don't open the door yet! ”

Zhao Wu thought to himself that his little arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he might as well open the door. However, after the ambush, the adults also have to explain, let the soldiers ride fast horses to report the ambush, and on their own side, they will delay the time and slowly open the door. In the future, Lord Fu will ask about it, and he will also have an explanation.

Knowing that his gate was only halfway open, the cavalry outside suddenly rushed in. Before Zhao Wu could react, he only felt a chill in his heart, and a spear pierced straight into his heart, and he couldn't live.

When the cavalry entered the city, Guo Yan glanced at the dozens of corpses on the ground, and said to the people behind him: "Chang'an suddenly changed the soldiers and horses to defend the city gate, but the people we installed before were wasted. A few of you immediately led the soldiers and horses to take over the defenses of the various gates, and we must not let Li Wei's soldiers and horses enter the city until we are ready. The rest of the people entered the palace with me. ”

The group behind him will say "no" in unison, and then act separately.

When Guo Yan led the soldiers and horses into the palace, Liu Xie was talking to Empress Fu, and he was thinking about how to completely control the defense of Chang'an in his own hands after retreating from the Xiongnu, and gradually break away from the control of Li and Guo in the future. knew that Guo Yan was rebellious and led the soldiers to break into the palace late at night. Liu Xie said to Guo Yan: "I don't know what the general of the chariot cavalry entered the palace late at night with soldiers and horses?" Could it be that you want to kill the king? ”

Guo Yan glanced at Liu Xie, then at Queen Fu next to him, and said coldly: "The minister has an urgent military situation to report to the Holy Mountain." ”

Liu Xie wanted to see what his idea was, "I don't know what kind of military situation it is?" ”

Guo Yan said: "The minister got accurate information that the general Li Dao colluded with the Xiongnu to rebel, and the minister asked for a decree to punish the nine clans of Li Dao. ”
