Chapter 350: Withdrawal of Troops
Those pro-soldiers all cried and cried about how Zhang Yuan attacked the east and west, took the opportunity to break through the west gate, how to attack inside and outside, defeated their Liangzhou soldiers, and how to capture Yang Zhong alive, and cut off his head and sent it back to warn Han Sui.

Han Sui's face was gloomy when he heard this, his fists were secretly clenched, and a trace of angry flames began to burn on his firm face.
"I didn't expect that this Zhang Yuan's eyes were so poisonous, Dong Cheng's layout was so exquisite that he could even be seen through it, this person is really ......"
Liang Xing was deeply amazed, and under the shock, he didn't know how to evaluate Zhang Yuan.
Yang Qiu woke up from the pain of losing his brother, knelt down in front of Han Sui, and shouted angrily: "Lord, Zhang Yuan held the Son of Heaven hostage, he is really a national thief, he killed my brother, he is the enemy of my Yang family, and the hatred of the country and the family is all on the traitor, please give an order, let me lead our Liangzhou soldiers, raze Chang'an to the ground, recapture the Son of Heaven, and kill Zhang Thief." ”
Han Sui was silent and looked at Liang Xing, seeking the chief strategist's opinion.
Liang Xing had already calmed down, and said with a solemn expression: "The Son of Heaven must not fall into the hands of Zhang Yuan, we must take it back, although our army has broken thousands of soldiers and horses, but it still has an advantage, when Zhang Thief broke Chang'an and his foothold was not stable, he made every effort to break through Chang'an and recapture the Son of Heaven." ”
Liang Xingdu analyzed the overall situation like this, and Han Sui had nothing to hesitate about.
What's more, Han Sui was based in Liangzhou, and the Yang family was one of the main supporters, and now Yang Zhong was killed, if he didn't raise troops to avenge the Yang family, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the Yang family.
Syllable.
Han Sui did not hesitate any longer, took the case, and said angrily: "Zhang Yuan, a national thief, dared to commit rebellion, kidnap the Son of Heaven, and dare to kill a loyal minister like Yang Zhong. ”
The night is as cool as water.
Zhang Yuan glanced at the curled up beside him, unclothed, and was sleeping with a continuous title, but he didn't disturb her dreams, got up and put on his clothes, and walked into the side hall.
He stood at the gate, looking up at the night sky, his eyes glistening with thoughts.
Chang'an at night is like a smooth mirror, reflecting the starlight in the sky, and that little starlight is the lights of every household.
The evening breeze was blowing, Zhang Yuan felt a hint of coolness, and he turned around and returned to the hall.
In the lobby, six huge torches have already been propped up, and the hall is as bright as day.
On the dragon case, which originally belonged to Liu Xie, there was a candle flame as thick as a child's arm on each side, and the flickering red light reflected the huge map hanging next to it.
Zhang Yuan came to the map, and his eagle-like sharp gaze fell on the cities on the map.
Dong Zhuo was in Wusong, a hundred miles away, staring at Chang'an with a tiger's eye, preparing for the fisherman's profit
In Jiangdong, Sun Ce has already subdued the opponents, and is grinding Ranran, pondering whether to take Huainan again or attack Liangzhou in the west
The general trend of the world is interlocking and deducing in his mind.
Both intuition and reason told him that although he successfully grabbed the Son of Heaven, he might fall into a protracted war between Shang and Han.
He can't afford to drag it out, and he has to do it quickly.
In the southeast, information has been sent back that the Liangzhou army has begun to move, and it is believed that it will launch an attack on Chang'an in two days at the latest.
That's why he couldn't sleep tonight.
The door was pushed open again, and a night breeze entered the room, stirring the torches and dancing.
Before I could turn around, I smelled the smell of alcohol in my nose.
"Drunkard, do you still come to me so late to beg for a drink," Zhang Yuan didn't look back, and he could tell who it was just by the sound of footsteps.
"I want to sleep, drunkard, but suddenly I think of something very important, and I can't sleep at once, and I can't wait for tomorrow, so I just come and want to talk to the lord." Sure enough, it was Gao Gong's voice.
Zhang Yuan's eyes moved slightly, as if he had guessed something.
He turned around, invited Gao Gong to sit with him, and personally poured a glass of good wine, "Sit down, let's talk slowly." ”
"It's good wine, it's really the second lady's wine that is the most refreshing, thank you lord." As soon as he saw good wine, Gao Gong's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and poured it all out unceremoniously.
While he was drinking, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Drunkard, don't you also feel that you can't go on with Han Sui, and you have thought of some quick solutions?"
Gao Gong's wine entered his throat, and when he opened his mouth, he choked Zhang Yuan and squirted out.
The wine was put down, Gao Gong wiped his mouth, and sighed with a wry smile: "Lord, can you not see the drunkard me so thoroughly every time, and I have no sense of accomplishment." ”
Zhang Yuan laughed.
Gao Gong was just joking, and after pouring another cup, his expression became solemn, "The situation in the world has changed, and we are no longer allowed to drag down the battle of Nanyang, and with Han Sui's strong strength, if this battle drags on, the outcome is not yet known." ”
In today's situation, Zhang Yuan has no more than 20,000 troops available.
However, Han Sui folded thousands of soldiers and horses, but there were still 37,000 soldiers, and he claimed to have 100,000 armor, if he fought a protracted war, Han Sui could at least draw 30,000 or 40,000 troops from the rear.
In terms of troops, Zhang Yuan does not have an advantage.
Moreover, even if he could repel Han Sui in the end, he would lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and Zhang Yuan still had to keep his soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the most powerful enemy like Yuan Shao, and he didn't want to lose too many elite soldiers in the confrontation with Han Sui.
This battle is not only about how to quickly defeat Han Sui, but also about how to achieve strategic goals with the least loss of soldiers and horses.
Gao Gong is a man of extreme wisdom, how could Gao Gong not think of what Zhang Yuan was afraid of.
"Since you have guessed my scruples, drunkard, you must have thought of a way to crack it, don't sell Songzi, let's talk about it." Zhang Yuan urged.
Gao Gong drank another glass of wine, and a hint of deceit flashed in his eyes, "Gong has thought of a two-step strategy here to quickly retreat from Han Sui, but he must first retreat as advance." ”
"How do you retreat into advance,"
"Abandon Chang'an."
Zhang Yuan withdrew his troops.
The next day, he wrapped up the Empress of Heaven, as well as the civil and military officials who survived the rebellion, abandoned Chang'an, and withdrew all the way to the north, posing as if he would abandon Nanyang and return Chang'an.
Han Suibing captured Chang'an without bloodshed, and finally achieved his previous strategic goals.
However, at this time, the situation in the Central Plains changed drastically, and Han Sui could no longer be satisfied with recapturing Chang'an, and possessed a corner of Jingxiang in Nanyang.
In order to recapture the Son of Heaven and enter the Central Plains, Han Sui certainly would not sit back and watch Zhang Yuan return to Chang'an safely with the Son of Heaven.
On the day of the capture of Chang'an, Han Sui did not stop, opened the way with Yang Qiu, led 37,000 people, and chased Zhang Yuan all the way.
Five days later, the south bank of the water.
At dusk, the wind swept and the sky was desolate.
