Chapter 44: Chang'an Changed Hands
To kill Li Guo and the others, it is best not to bring the two Diao Chan, after all, there are many people and many scruples, but Yang Xu is not at ease, this Chang'an City is full of chaotic soldiers.
Diao Chan seemed to see through his thoughts, and said gently: "Brother Xu, you go, I can still deal with a few ordinary soldiers, and Hao Zhao and I can hide first!" ”
Yang Xu forgot that Diao Chan was not a weak woman, and her strength was still 82, so he nodded, went out and got on the horse, and walked straight to the center of the city.
At this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan had reached the realm of incompatibility, and they didn't even care about the escape of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty the day before yesterday.
In the past two days, there have often been armed fights with more than 1,000 people, and they were provoked by Li Wei and Guo Yan.
"Guo Yan, his subordinates are always fighting around, and they can't tell the difference, let's go head-to-head if we have the ability!" Li Dao shouted at Guo Yan, it's not that he likes to fight alone, his soldiers are tens of thousands less than Guo Yan, and if he continues to consume like this, he will suffer in the end.
"Heads-up is heads-up, who's afraid of whom!" Guo Yan said, holding a weapon and looking at Li Dao vigilantly.
"If you want to fight, I'll fight with you!" A voice from far and near, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, knocked a group of soldiers noisily, following the direction of the sound, involuntarily getting out of the way.
Yang Xu walked through a group of soldiers and came to a distance of ten meters from the two.
"How to fight, heads-up or group fight?" Yang Xu stopped the war horse and asked calmly.
"Yang Xu, it's you!" Li Wei saw the person clearly, his eyes were wide, and his face was incredible!
At this time, a burst of discussion erupted in the crowd.
There are doubts, "It's the general Yang Xu, isn't he dead?" ”
Some were frightened, "It's that devil again, let's run away!" ”
There is despair, "It's over, when we meet him, we are all dead!" ”
Yang Xu ignored the soldiers' discussions, and shouted angrily: "You two, you only know how to fight for power and profit, but you indulge the soldiers, look at what Chang'an has become by you, it's a hell on earth!" If I don't kill you two today, it's really hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart! With that, he rode towards the nearest Guo Yan.
"Just you?" Guo Yan looked at Yang Xu who rushed and sneered, he hadn't seen Yang Xu's martial arts, but he was very confident in his martial arts, and immediately waved the long knife and slashed down obliquely.
However, he still paid the price for his ignorance, his long knife had not yet slashed Yang Xu, and Yang Xu's long knife had already slashed through his neck. After the blade, I saw Guo Yan's head flying high, and the headless corpse then fell to the ground.
Besides, Li Dao, he is not as ignorant as Guo Yan, at that time, the strength of 6 people was still not enough to take Yang Xu, not to mention that now he is alone, and the moment Yang Xu spoke, he felt bad, so he turned around and fled.
"Run, can you escape?" Yang Xu sneered, danced the long knife away, and then threw it out hard, the long knife spun rapidly in the air, and went straight to Li Dao who was galloping.
"Ahh There was a scream, and everyone looked intently, only to see that Li Dao was actually beheaded alive.
It was only a minute before and after, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were both beheaded, and the soldiers around them did not react.
Yang Xu looked at the thousands of soldiers in the field again, and hesitated for a while, how to deal with these soldiers is a difficult problem, if they are let go back to their hometowns, they are only afraid that they will be in trouble, if they are ignored, I am afraid that this Chang'an will be completely ruined. Suddenly, an idea struck me.
"Among you, if you want to unload your armor and return to the field, you can leave, and if you are willing to continue to be a soldier, follow me Yang Xu and make a career together! But I want to explain first, I, Yang Xu, am not Dong Zhuo, not Li Dao Guo Yan, if anyone is a citizen and harms innocents, I will not let him go first! ”
There was a cacophony of chatter, but after a few moments, most of the soldiers fell to their knees and shouted, "We want to follow the general!" "Among these, there are those who are sincere and obedient, and there are those who are forced to return to their hometowns? I don't have any fields at home, so it's better to have a full meal on the battlefield.
A small number of soldiers were still hesitating, and Yang Xu gestured and waved his hand, "Let's go!" Hearing Yang Xu's release, these people turned around and left in twos and threes. Yang Xu's eyes swept over, and he suddenly found a familiar figure, and couldn't help but shout: "The general on the horse, stay!" ”
When the man heard Yang Xu's call, he turned his head and hugged his fists and said, "What else is the matter with the general?" ”
At the moment when he turned around, Yang Xu's eyes lit up, "Xu Huang Xu Gongming, haha, it's really you!" Are you going to go too? ”
"Report to the general, the last general is tired of fighting and is ready to return to his hometown!"
Yang Xu was a little disappointed when he heard this, no, how could such a general let him slip away from under his nose, I have to find a way to keep it, so I opened Xu Huang's attribute panel and saw that Yang Xu, who belonged to the above forces, had a loyalty of 80 and no official position.
Loyalty is only 80, no wonder you want to resign and go into hiding, it seems that you have to add loyalty, Yang Xu thought, in the game, there are three ways to increase loyalty, one is to reward money, this doesn't work now, how to reward yourself if you don't have money, the second is to send props, but now it seems that there are no props to send, so there is only the third way, sealing the official.
"Now that Chang'an is newly determined, it is the time to employ people, how can the general abandon me! Now he will be promoted to Gongming as a general of the military division and lead the old department of the Xiliang Army! After Yang Xu finished speaking, looking at Xu Huang's attributes, his loyalty had become 86,
"There's a play!" Yang Xu thought to himself, but Xu Huang still hesitated.
"Looks like you have to make a big move!" Yang Xu sighed in his heart. "Of course, with the talent of Gongming, the general of the military division is still too buried in the general's ability, so let's do it, I will promote you to be a former general!" The words fell, Yang Xu checked the attributes again, and saw that Xu Huang's loyalty Hao Ran had become 92.
At this time, Xu Huang also changed his previous hesitant look, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and hugged Yang Xu and said: "The lord is very gracious, Xu Huang has nothing to repay, only to saddle up the horse and go to the soup!" The soldiers who were about to leave also knelt down and pledged their allegiance.
Yang Xu smiled and helped Xu Huang up, "I have to help Gongming, and great things will be done!" Then the smile gradually faded, no longer polite, "Gongming, the top priority should be to train the soldiers, strictly enforce military discipline, and appease the people!" I'm new here, I don't know the current situation, you tell me, how many Xiliang troops are in this Chang'an City? ”
Xu Huang pondered for a moment, and then said: "In the current Chang'an City, there are about 200,000 horses!" ”
"So much?" Yang Xu was surprised.
"Lord, and listen to the last general, when the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was known as an army of 400,000 at that time, of which 100,000 were arranged in the pass, guarding against Xiliang Ma Teng and Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and Luoyang 300,000 to block the coalition army. On the way to Chang'an, about 20,000 were lost, and then Li Dao Guo Yan besieged Chang'an, killed 80,000, Lu Bu fled and took 50,000, some time ago, Zhang Ji took 30,000 subordinates, fled to Wancheng. In the past few days, Li Guo and the two thieves have been fighting, and the rebellious people in the city have resisted, and they have lost almost 3 or 40,000, so there should be 200,000 Xiliang troops in Chang'an City now!"
After listening to Xu Huang's words, Yang Xu was silent, his brows furrowed, during the prosperity of Chang'an City, the resident population was only seven or eight hundred thousand, and now after several major wars, it is estimated that it is only about five or six hundred thousand, and it is really difficult to feed these 200,000 troops.
"My lord, when Li Dao Guo Yan attacked Chang'an, he gave up Tianshui and stabilized the defense of the area, and now we should divide our troops into two places and divide these places under our rule!"
"Okay, that's it!" Yang Xu immediately agreed, thinking in his heart: "With the taxes of these two places, it will not be a problem to feed an army of 200,000!" ”
However, at this moment, the little school came to report that five days ago, Xiliang Ma Teng took advantage of the stability of Tianshui and was defenseless, and had already stationed troops in two places!
