Chapter 252: The Capture of the Outer City
After Han Sui became the defender of Beicheng, the Bingzhou army never took care of Beicheng again, in order to give Han Sui more time, it was up to him whether he could enter Chang'an or not, of course, Zhang Xiang trusted Zhang Ding and others the most.
But it can't be done without Han Sui, Han Sui has become the guard of Beicheng, and Beicheng has been peaceful, and Li Dao has gradually let down his guard, maybe Jin Kui really cured him.
Li Dao was indulged in wine again, completely forgetting what Jin Kui said, Li Dao didn't know that he would have an accident sooner or later if he continued like this, Han Sui had been wooing soldiers these days, but Zhang Ding and the others were not idle.
is also constantly wooing soldiers, Han Sui is now in the same boat with Zhang Xiang, and naturally he will not stop him, but Zhang Ding and they can only be in the dark after all, and they can only use to convince people if they can't show their identity.
Han Sui is different from him after all, he is a prince of one party, a prince of Liangzhou, and he is also the guard of Beicheng, so many guards took the initiative to stammer, and they didn't let Han Sui spend much thought at all.
Of course, Han Sui didn't forget to get down to business, he sent some people he could trust to important positions, and Han Sui was stepping up his infiltration into the inner city, after all, he couldn't solve the inner city, even if he opened the outer city, it would be useless.
The defender of the first inner city behind the north city is Wang Fang, Wang Fang is a native of Yuzhong, and Han Sui belongs to the same Liangzhou Jincheng County, from the root of the two are fellow villagers, and Han Sui's prestige in Jincheng County is high.
So it was easy to talk to Wang Fang, and Wang Fang did not reject Han Sui, after all, his family and relatives were still in Yuzhong, but since Wang Fang followed Dong Zhuo, he had not returned to his hometown.
Many of Chang'an's guards are like Wang Fang, and in recent years, Chang'an has been plagued by disasters, and these guards have not really stopped, even if Yongzhou and Liangzhou are adjacent to each other, they have never had a chance to go back.
Once a soldier in this era joins the army, it is equivalent to signing a deed of sale, and there is no freedom at all, Han Sui's personality charm is still very high, so Han Sui easily subdued Wang Fang.
This is something that Han Sui didn't expect, and Zhang Ding didn't believe that it would be so easy, but Zhang Ding's heart was even more suspended, Zhang Ding had always been by Han Sui's side, and naturally knew how many soldiers Han Sui had in his hands now.
It turned out that Zhang Ding felt that Han Sui was unscrupulous, but it was still within the scope of control, but now it may be out of control, Han Sui took the inner city and began to negotiate conditions with Zhang Xiang.
The two sides of this negotiation negotiated by letter, and Zhou Yang made a link to send a letter in the middle, and Zhang Xiang didn't care if Han Sui negotiated the conditions with him, because Zhang Xiang could accept any conditions.
This is also forced by the situation, but Zhang Xiang will not tell Han Sui about this kind of thing, otherwise Han Sui will inevitably gain an inch, Han Sui has only one condition that he can open the city gate, but Zhang Xiang must place his soldiers and horses outside the southern city, and there can be no soldiers from the state.
Han Sui knew very well that once the city gate was opened, Zhang Xiang would not have the heart to take care of other things, Han Sui still cared about his seven generals, and this was also the only opportunity that Han Sui thought of to get out.
This condition is indeed acceptable to Zhang Xiang, the seventh department will be able to go outside the southern city, but Zhang Xiang will not guarantee whether Han Sui can reach the southern city smoothly, Zhang Xiang agreed very happily, which surprised Han Sui.
Han Sui is already self-sufficient, and now as long as he can leave Chang'an, plus the soldiers and horses that have recently been subdued in Beicheng, he will have no loss on his trip to Yongzhou, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
Han Sui chose to let Zhang Xiang's army enter at night, Han Sui looked at the night sky and suddenly saw the scene of the tengu eating the moon, and suddenly felt that it was not a good sign, but the time had come.
Han Sui couldn't tolerate a trace of hesitation, not to mention that Zhang Ding was still by his side, in order to ensure his safety, Han Sui ordered Zhang Ding to go down and open the city gate, and now Zhang Ding was still by Han Sui's side.
Naturally, he had to accept Han Sui's order, and it was also in line with Zhang Ding's wishes to open the outer city gate, so Zhang Ding did not object, the north gate of Chang'an was opened again, and Zhang Xiang almost screamed excitedly when he saw this scene.
Zhang Xiang did ask the seven generals to wait for Han Sui outside the southern city, otherwise Han Sui would not have opened this door, but Han Sui didn't know that three of the seven generals had already chosen to take refuge in Zhang Xiang.
These three people are Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Yi, they did bring soldiers and horses to Nancheng, but the other four generals didn't notice that the three people were not carrying the original soldiers and horses because it was dark.
It was Zhang Xiang's Bingzhou Army that was brought with them, and the three of them deliberately fell behind when they set off, so when they arrived outside the southern city, they naturally belonged to the rear camp, and Han Sui didn't know so he naturally chose to believe it.
As for the soldiers and horses of the original three, now they are one step ahead of Zhang Xiang to open the way, Zhang Xiang is also afraid of any accidents, and Zhang Xiang is not afraid of Han Sui discovering something, after all, Han Sui is now above the inner city.
Han Sui was guarding against Zhang Xiang all the time, naturally he would not put himself on the outer city, and he would not be able to run away by then, the soldiers and horses of the three generals had been approaching the inner city, and Zhang Xiang's army had taken over the outer city.
Naturally, it also attracted the attention of the guards of the West City and the East City, and the Bingzhou army had already exchanged hands with the guards of Chang'an, and the sound of fighting was especially obvious at night, but Zhang Xiang would not take it lightly.
Unless the inner city gate is opened, Zhang Xiang can really rest assured, Han Sui saw Zhang Xiang's soldiers and horses above the inner city, he couldn't wait to do it now, but Han Sui knew that this was impossible, otherwise he couldn't leave Chang'an.
Han Sui knew very well that Zhou Yang's manpower was already close to the inner city, and if he didn't open the door, it would mean that he would suffer from the enemy on his back, although Han Sui was not very willing, but Han Sui still chose to open the gate of the inner city.
As soon as the gate of the inner city opened, Han Sui immediately went to the south city with Wang Fang, and the army of the state outside the north city quickly seized the inner city, and at this time Zhang Xiang entered the Chang'an city siege, and the streets of the inner city could be seen through the moonlight.
Zhou Yang also attacked the inner city when Han Sui left, Han Sui couldn't take all the people away, after all, there were many people, and he had to pass through the entire Chang'an, and Han Sui also had a lot of changes.
As soon as the first outer city and the inner city were opened, the army of Bingzhou continued to pour into Chang'an City, Li Dao obviously also planned for the worst, and the three guards saw that the situation was irreversible, and hurriedly entered the second inner city.
Strengthened the guards of the second inner city, abandoned the streets and houses between the outer city and the second inner city, and it can be said that the army of Bingzhou entered Chang'an, which was regarded as rescuing the people of Chang'an.
Li Wei's soldiers were trapped in Chang'an City, and naturally the people of Chang'an were the scourge, so the people of Chang'an were very supportive of the Bingzhou army, but it could be regarded as leaving Zhang Xiang with a mess.
However, Zhang Xiang couldn't control these for the time being, Zhang Xiang immediately ordered the army to seize the other three cities, in case there was any accident, but Zhang Xiang didn't know that Jia Xu had entered the eastern city as early as when Zhang Xiang arranged the seven generals outside the southern city.
When Zhang Xiang's army invaded Chang'an City and the Chang'an guards were in chaos, Jia Xu took the opportunity to take his henchmen out of the city and went straight to the direction of Sili.
So Jia Xu left Han Sui first, Han Sui hurried to Nancheng, the guards of Nancheng had already retreated into the second inner city, and Han Sui quickly joined the seven generals, just when Han Sui felt safe.
Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Yi made a move, Han Sui was just a literati, it was impossible for him to resist the attack of the three, and he died under the knife on the spot, and Wang Fang was blindsided on the spot, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
However, Wang Fang will not fight hard for Han Sui, Han Sui is dead, Wang Fang can only find his own way of life, Wang Fang immediately led the soldiers and horses to the direction of Liangzhou, in order to avoid the army of Bingzhou, Wang Fang deliberately chose a long detour.
The relationship between the remaining seven generals has also become delicate, but fortunately, it has not reached the point of making a move, Zhang Heng walked out, "We have been comrades for many years, and we don't want to see each other, and those who are willing to stay together enjoy wealth and nobility, and don't want to leave without hurting the harmony." ”
The seven generals have their own ghosts, only Yang Qiu is Han Sui's diehard, but his strength is the weakest, and Yang Qiu didn't want to stay until Han Sui died, so he chose to leave first.
The three generals Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Ma Wan glanced at each other and made a decision, they decided to take refuge in Zhang Xiang, and it was a matter of time before Zhang Xiang captured Chang'an, and Zhang Xiang would get Yongzhou at that time.
It's like a tiger with wings, they don't want to let go of such an opportunity to hug their thighs, and the candidate came to Zhang Heng's face, "Of course we are comrades, of course we have to fight side by side, and under Zhang Xiang's command, we will be trampled on sooner or later if we don't cooperate." ”
Zhang Heng: "This is natural, we are all from Liangzhou, who will we help if we don't help our own people?" Zhang Heng also knows when to say something, not to mention that what the candidate says is what he wants to say.
Zhang Heng cut off Han Sui's head and asked Zhang Xiang for credit, so the six generals returned to Chang'an with the army, and as for leaving Yang Qiu in advance, he met Wang Fang, who left first.
In the end, the two of them went together, and went to Liangzhou to take care of it, when it was almost dawn, Zhang Xiang's army controlled everything in the outer city, and the people also settled down, and now Zhang Xiang is facing a second inner city that is more difficult to overcome.
Zhang Xiang knew that it would only be more difficult in the future, even if he won the second inner city, there would definitely be a more difficult palace city to overcome, but he had already taken the first step, at least it would not be hopeless.
The second inner city is very similar to the outer city, which is simply carved out of a mold, which is also the difference between Chang'an and other cities, each city seems to be solid, and people have nowhere to eat.
What's more important is that the inner city is not like the outer city, the outer city is a plain outside the city, and you can have large-scale siege weapons such as wells, but the inner city is limited by the terrain and can only use cloud ladders, and Zhang Xiang knows very well that there are no more people in the inner city, and it is impossible to outwit it, it seems that it will be a stalemate for a while, and I don't know if the second brother can stand it.
