Lü Bu left Zhou Cang to lead a thousand soldiers to temporarily defend Tongguan, waiting for Hao Zhao to come and replace him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Tongguan has no strong enemy to attack at the moment, otherwise Lu Bu will not hand over the important checkpoint to Zhou Cang for defense, Zhou Cang's ability is worthy of guarding, it is difficult to win the main general's responsibility, with his developed limbs, the strong enemy will be so angry that he will jump off the pass and fight to the death with the enemy with a few insults.

Lü Bu divided the 20,000 troops that Zhang Liao brought to Tongguan into two parts, one was handed over to Zhang Liao to support Xinfeng, and the other was taken by Lü Bu to Chang'an Fraud City. Let Zhang Xiu take Pei Mao hostage and lead Pei Mao's old troops to attack Huayin.

Lu Bu's team was wrapped in Duan Xuan's trilogy, bypassing Huayin, and even Weilan County ordered Kaicheng to surrender, but Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to it, and forced into Chang'an. The Duan Xuan in his hand is completely obedient to him, and Lu Bu is not afraid that Duan Xuan's troops will rebel, but Duan Xuan's soul only has two hours, and Lu Bu must grasp the time. Now that Duan Xuan's troops are being held hostage by Lu Bu in the army, the soldiers are not clear, and Lu Bu will not recruit them, nor will he kill them, and he is very curious.

Thirty miles away from Chang'an City, Lü Bu summoned Duan Xuan and asked him to lead his remnants to flee towards Chang'an, and Lü Bu led a large army to pursue after ten miles, creating an illusion to paralyze the defenders of Chang'an. The remnants of the soldiers who were wrapped up in the army found that 'Duan Xuan' was not dead, thinking that Lu Bu's soldiers were chasing them.

Lü Bu made a huge noise outside the city, and he had already alarmed Zhang Ji to send spies outside the city to report the news of Lü Bu's army to the city.

The city of Chang'an is very huge, and it takes half an hour for a fast horse to gallop across the entire Chang'an. Perhaps it was Lu Bu's bad luck, Zhong Xuan went to Guanzhong to avoid the crime of trespassing, and set up his office in the Yongle Palace in the southeast corner of the city, and banned the Weiyang Palace where the emperors lived in the northwest corner.

Zhong Xuan's arrangement out of etiquette just sent the news back to the city for the spies, and bought a short time for the guards to calmly arrange.

"Report! Zhenyuan's general Duan Xuan fled and sent a distress signal to the city, and behind him was an army suspected of being Lu Bu in hot pursuit. ”

"Help, help!" Zhong Jin said loudly. Lu Bu's army suddenly attacked, and it happened to be when his eldest brother went west, Chang'an was leaderless, although Zhong Jin was entrusted by Zhong Xuan to guard Chang'an, but he had no master, and Lu Bu's murderous style shocked him so much that he didn't dare to breathe. One more friendly army, one more force to defend the city, and one more protection.

"Wait." Doubts flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes, and he suddenly stood up and stopped the soldiers who ordered the soldiers to go to the city gate to deliver the order to open the city: "Duan Xuan doesn't listen to the dispatch, if he is released in the city, it may be a disaster." A certain doubt, his person has descended to Lu Bu, and he has come to deceive Chenger. ”

"Why did Zhang Derong say this? If General Zhenyuan sincerely came to vote and rejected him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of generals from all walks of life who wanted to join forces to resist the enemy? Zhong Jin said unhappily. Lu Bu is known as the nemesis of the world, the Guanzhong clan may not have much feeling, Zhong Jin has always lived in Xuchang, and he is afraid of Lu Bu slaughtering the world like a beast in the past six months, and any army that comes to support Chang'an Zhong Jin is very welcome.

"Try him to see if Duan Xuan is sincere in his vote." Yang Fu thought for a while.

"How to tempt?" Zhong Jin asked.

With Yang Fu's reminder, Zhang Ji quickly calculated in his heart: "Just cool Duan Xuan's army outside the city for a while, if the pursuers retreat or come forward to slaughter Duan Xuan's soldiers, then Duan Xuan must be sincere to vote, if the pursuers only bluff in the distance, then Duan Xuan is undoubtedly deceitful to the city." ”

Zhang Ji estimated that since Duan Xuan was defeated and fled, he should choose the nearest middle gate of the east city gate to enter, that is, the Qingming Gate, which is also the strongest gate in the entire city, Zhang Ji took the soldiers to the wall of the Qingming Gate to observe secretly.

Not long after Zhang Ji boarded the Qingming Gate, Duan Xuan fled with the soldiers in embarrassment, shouting in embarrassment as he ran: "Zhenyuan General Duan Xuan came to meet him, and there were chasing soldiers behind him, so open the city gate quickly." ”

Zhang Ji looked at these soldiers carefully, and he was sweating like rain in the cold wind, throwing away his armor, but the fear in his eyes was not so obvious, Zhang Ji was not sure for a moment whether this was a soldier who fled from defeat, or a soldier who had surrendered to Lu Bu who had come to defraud the city.

"Isn't General Zhenyuan majestic and doesn't respect Jing Zhaoyin's orders? Why invest today? A strange voice sounded on the castle tower.

Lu Bu followed the prestige through Duan Xuan's vision, and there was a young general standing on the sword on the city tower, and his eyes showed a trace of wisdom, and he couldn't see what the other party's intentions were.

"Could it be that this person is Zhang Ji?" Lu Bu secretly guessed and manipulated Duan Xuan to exert pressure: "A certain person is entrusted by the prime minister to guard Chang'an in Huayin to ensure that Tongguan is lost, and now Tongguan is lost, is it a certain dereliction of responsibility, how can there be any reason not to fight back and expel the thieves?" If a soldier does not come out, can Xiao Xiaozhang dare to bear the anger of the prime minister? ”

The young general sneered: "That's a take." ”

"I am ashamed, the last general is incompetent to be entrusted to the prime minister, and the two armies were attacked by the enemy before and after, and the success was lost. Open the city gate quickly, the pursuers are coming! Duan Xuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted towards the city.

Zhang Ji, who hid by the arrow buttress and did not show up, could not distinguish whether Duan Xuan had surrendered to Lu Bu from the conversation between Yang Fu and Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan said without a trace of flaws, if he lost Tongguan and did nothing, Cao Cao would definitely be annoyed and angry, and it was inevitable to hold Duan Xuan accountable, and he Zhang would also take this method when standing in Duan Xuan's position. Zhang Ji whispered to Yang Fu: "Continue to question and delay time." ”

"Bold Duan Xuan, you want to cheat the city, such a clumsy method, how can you not know?" The young general, that is, Yang Fu, suddenly shouted outside the city: "Shoot me with random arrows!" ”

Lu Bu, who manipulated Duan Xuan from afar, was a thief, thinking that he had been spotted by the enemy, and he couldn't think of any place where the horse's feet were exposed, anyway, Duan Xuan would have to disappear sooner or later, and if he was shot to death, he would be shot to death.

Duan Xuan ignored the bow and arrows drawn from the city, and the black pressure of the arrows, roared: "A certain desperately entered and exited the enemy formation, but was framed by the villain, come on...... Shoot arrows, you and other anti-ministers and thieves do nothing, shrink into the city to survive, and kill loyal warriors, if you have a kind of arrows, if you blink your eyes to death, you are not a hero! ”

Lu Bu was very anxious in his heart, his pursuers were already getting closer and closer to the edge of the city, if he didn't open the city gate again, would his pursuers step forward or retreat? Enter a dilemma and kill all the soldiers who are Duan Xuan? These soldiers under Duan Xuan are already members of Lu Bu's army, how can he be willing to do it. If you retreat, even if the city gate is opened, you won't be able to take the city gate at all with the defeat of the remnants of the army outside the city gate now.

Duan Xuan's resolute words moved Zhang Ji on one side, but he was in charge of defense Chang'an, so he had to act carefully, Chang'an was the last support to resist Lu Bu's army, if Lu Bu controlled Chang'an City, Guanzhong would be finished sooner or later. Thinking of this, Zhang Ji cheered up his spirit and carefully observed the pursuers in the distance.

Zhang observed for a long time, the pursuers seemed to have slowed down, and they were also observing the reaction in the city, looking like they wanted to retreat and wanted to pursue Duan Xuan. Zhang Ji whispered to Yang Fu: "Let him wait for a while, and say that a certain is on the way to come." ”

"General Zhenyuan wait a moment, this matter is very important, and the last general can't make a hasty decision, please forgive me. Kyung Zhao Yin was on his way here. ”

"How's it going?" Xu Shu asked anxiously on the side, they had greatly reduced the speed of the chasing soldiers, and if they lowered it any longer, they could only stop. Once you stop in the distance and don't pursue Zhang Ji, unless it's a group of fools defending the city, you can easily see that something is wrong.

"The enemy general said that Zhang Ji was on his way." Lu Bu was so angry that he vomited blood, such an urgent military situation, Zhang Ji actually hurried away.

"I'm afraid I've seen through it by the enemy." Liu Ye's words caused Lu Bu and Xu Shu to be surprised.

"How so?" Xu Shu asked quickly.

"Zhong Xuan is a person who does his duty, Yuan Zhi thinks that he will choose the palace in Chang'an as a garrison and office?" Liu Ye asked.

"Weiyang Palace is the palace where the emperors of the past dynasties lived, and Zhong Xuan will not live in it in order to avoid suspicion. Ganquan Palace and Jianzhang Palace are both outside the city, which is not conducive to the defense of Chang'an, and it is also excluded. Then there will be Changle Palace left. Lu Bu was familiar with Chang'an and replied.

"Changle Palace is in the southeast corner, how could Zhang Ji be late? It is speculated that Zhang Ji actually arrived in the city early, and he was just secretly observing the reality and reality. "Liu Ye analyzes people's hearts very thoroughly.

"What can I do?" Lu Bu asked.

"If Zhang Ji sees through it, he can only retreat." Xu Shu sighed and said, finally there was a way to take Chang'an, but he was finally recognized, and his heart was full of unwillingness. If you move your whole body, Chang'an can't be captured, and Lu Bu's army is always facing the dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy.

"If you retreat now, you will have to sacrifice countless soldiers to conquer it in the future." Lu Bu said reluctantly, and decided to take a risk: "The pursuers pretend to retreat, and when Duan Xuan opens the city gate, wave his troops and kill back." ”

Xu Shu and Liu Ye couldn't make a better decision, so they decided to take a risk with a bit of luck. Lu Bu and the others couldn't bear to slaughter Duan Xuan's army, it was self-defeating, if they could slaughter ruthlessly, and the fake show was really done, maybe they would hide it from the world.

Zhang Ji watched the pursuers in the distance slowly retreat, and wondered in his heart, why did his defenders retreat if they didn't make too many moves? Could it be that the pursuers were afraid that the defenders would come out of the Bacheng Gate and Duan Xuan's army would turn back and attack?

"Duan Xuan is here to deceive the city, and he is going to lower the drawbridge and lead him to the city gate to be killed." Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and said. He would rather kill the wrong one than let this Duan Xuan army with unknown intentions enter the city, leaving Chang'an with internal trouble.

Zhong Jin said loudly: "Didn't the envoy say before that if the enemy army retreats, Duan Xuan will not cheat the city? ”

"At this time and that time, the chasing soldiers retreated very strangely, if the section simmered into the city as an internal response, Chang'an will not be guaranteed."

"Chang'an's troops are empty, and it is difficult to fully defend the city wall, and if Duan Xuan is kept out, it will be broken sooner or later." Zhong Jin really wants to keep Chang'an.

"General Zhong doesn't need to worry, I have already begun to organize the people in the city to join the training."

"What can a folk man do? Can you see blood, can you kill the enemy? Zhong Jin roared.

"This is the defense of the city! This official is Jing Zhaoyin! Although the people could not kill the enemy, they could indeed transport supplies and help defend the city. With tens of thousands of people to help defend it, unless Lu Bu's army can fly into the sky, he will not want to break the city. Zhang Ji's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said sharply: "It's so decided, this official will not let there be a trace of uncertainty in Chang'an City." ”

Zhang Ji put on a smiling face and looked at Duan Xuan outside the city and said: "A certain Zhang is temporarily acting as Jing Zhaoyin, and he has neglected General Zhenyuan, please forgive me." Invite General Zhenyuan into the city...... Put the suspension bridge. ”

Lu Bu saw through Duan Xuan's vision, Zhang Ji, who was dressed as a civil official at the head of the city, had clear water chestnut angles, and he was full of rigidity. Hearing that Zhang Ji agreed to enter the city, Lu Bu was overjoyed, the matter was at least half done, as long as Duan Xuan's remnants of the army guarded the city gate to the death, and held it until Lu Bu's army arrived, and captured the Qingming Gate.

"Prepare to attack." Lu Bu gave orders to the soldiers beside him.

Lu Bu manipulated Duan Xuan to return the salute arrogantly towards the city, and when the suspension bridge was all lowered, Duan Xuan took the lead in stepping on the suspension bridge. Duan Xuan is not afraid of death, anyway, the time to summon him is coming soon, as long as the city gate is opened, Duan Xuan's task will be completed.

"Chop the sling......" Duan Xuan suddenly ordered the soldiers, "uh...... Wait a minute! ”

Duan Xuan was surprised to find that the drawbridge was lowered, but the city gate was not opened, so he stopped the soldiers' movements in time, and raised his head to the city Zhang Ji and asked, "What does Zhang mean?" ”

"In order to prevent the thieves from attacking the city, so for it, General Zhenyuan should not be suspicious, come to the city gate quickly, and open the city when the drawbridge is pulled." Zhang Ji looked like he was guarding the city carefully.
