Chapter Eighty-Four: Take Chang'an
I saw that the letter read: "Half a month ago, Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked Longxi, Zhang Ji died, and settled Tianshui ten days ago. ”
There are only these words, and there is no signature under them, not even a font size.
It seems that it is not he Liu Meng who is staring at this piece of fat, intelligence is now Liu Meng's hard injury, there has been no chance to settle down, and he has always been constantly fighting in various places, and finally obtained a place in Hedong before he had time to develop and went to Luoyang again.
In this era, it is not as convenient as the transmission of information in later generations, no matter where you are, a phone call can be solved, you must establish your own message transmission channels, train spies, these require the support of time and money, not overnight, so that you can understand the information as soon as possible.
If you don't have your own intelligence system, then when you get the news from the people or merchants, it is estimated that the news you get will be the old yellow calendar.
But who is this man? What does Liu Meng mean by telling him this news, and what is the purpose?
Liu Meng needs to figure out these questions, anyway, his whereabouts have been exposed, and it is meaningless for Li Xing to be detained, so Liu Meng asked the soldiers to let him go, and then informed everyone of the content of the letter, so that everyone could think together.
"What does this man mean by telling me this news?" Liu Meng asked.
The crowd pondered for a while, and the tent fell silent.
"Lord, do you know this news?" Xu Huang said.
"That's naturally known, our army doesn't know because it's far away from Longxi and other places, and there are no spies placed there, and it's normal not to know now, but Longxi and other places are the territory of the Xiliang Army, and now it is impossible for Hu Zhen to be captured by Ma Teng and others, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered Hongnong to enter and not go out during this time." Liu Meng said.
Liu Meng took Hongnong very smoothly, not a single soldier escaped, and he ordered Xu to enter and not to leave before leaving, so Hongnong lost Hu Zhen will not know for the time being.
Thinking of this, he wondered how the person who sent the message knew this, even the location of his army, and this intelligence system was a little terrifying.
"Then will Hu Zhen inform Guo Yan and the others of this news?" Xu Huang asked.
"Definitely, Xiliang is its foundation, and he doesn't dare to hide such a big thing and not report it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Meng's eyes lit up, and he patted his leg and said: "I know what Gongming meant, the news of Longxi Chengpo should have been known by Guo Yan and others long ago, if Gongming is used as a striker to help, it is also reasonable, right?" ”
"The lord is wise." That's what Xu Huang meant.
"Haha, in this way, it will be more certain to seize the city gate, Hu Zhen will definitely not fortify." Liu Meng said happily.
"But who is this man? Why did you give me this gift? Liu Meng said secretly.
"But could this be the strategy of the Xiliang Army?" Ren Xiuer was a little worried.
It's no wonder that Ren Xiu'er suspects that this news is too weird, and it is right to say that it is beneficial to Liu Meng, but if this news is fake, then deliberately leaking this news to Liu Meng to make a wrong judgment will be dangerous for Liu Mengjun.
Ren Xiu'er's words made everyone fall silent again.
Liu Meng couldn't help but worry, if Guo Jia was here, it would be good.
"Lord, there is no other good way left and right, the land of Chang'an is of great interest to our army, the last general is willing to lead the army to try, the lord can be behind, if it is really an enemy strategy, I hope the lord will retreat quickly." Xu Huang pleased.
Liu Meng was still a little hesitant, but he was a little moved when he heard Xu Huang's words, if this was really a strategy of the Xiliang Army, then the chance of Xu Huang surviving was almost zero.
Should I fight for it? Liu Meng was also reluctant to let go of this opportunity to obtain Chang'an, according to his expectations, Chang'an alone could provide him with more than 10,000 killing intent points, which was indeed very important to his development.
Liu Meng gritted his teeth, but still fought hard, if this was not the strategy of the Xiliang Army, if he gave up this opportunity, he would definitely regret it.
Although Liu Meng decided to fight once, he still needed to be prepared to deal with the unexpected.
"Gongming, tomorrow you will lead the generals and four thousand archers to go, if things change, you will immediately lead the army to break through, and I will lead the army to help." Liu Meng clapped his head.
It's not that Liu Meng is reluctant to let the halberd battalion go, but Hu Zhen, as a high-level member of the Xiliang Army, naturally knows that the halberd battalion is not the army of the Xiliang Army, so he had to let the archers change into the armor of the Xiliang Army and follow Xu Huang.
"This, if the enemy's plan is to hope that the lord will retreat quickly, how can Huang Yijie Wufu be worth the lord's risk." Xu Huang persuaded.
"Gongming is the general of our army, there is no need to say any more, it is decided."
Seeing Liu Meng like this, Xu Huang didn't say anything anymore, but he was very moved in his heart.
The next day, Xu Huang led the army to the city of Chang'an, and Liu Meng led the rest of the soldiers and horses to wait in a forest a few miles outside the city.
"Who is the army?" Above the tower, a general saw an army coming to the city under his own banner, so he asked.
"I am Xu Huang, the cavalry captain under General Guo, and General Guo heard that Ma Teng Han Sui was attacking, so he specially ordered me to come to the aid as the vanguard." Xu Huang replied.
Sent the seal letter to the city tower, and after checking it, he knew that this was indeed true, but Xiliang was not stable at this time, and he didn't dare to make decisions at all, and let Xu Huang lead these thousands of soldiers and horses into the city.
"Then you wait, I'll go and find General Hu." The general replied, and then went down to the city tower to find Hu Zhen.
After a while, a general climbed the city tower, and the person who came was Hu Zhen.
Although Hu Zhen was reluctant to associate with Xu Huang and others because of his identity, he naturally recognized Xu Huang.
After the identification was correct, Hu Zhen asked people to open the city gate and let Xu Huang and others enter the city.
The gates opened.
Xu Huang clenched the big axe in his hand, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
After all the self-army entered the city, Xu Huang found that the Xiliang army was no different, and his heart was a little calm.
Hu Zhen also went down to the city tower at this time, although he looked down on Xu Huang, but Xu Huang was a general under Guo Yan after all, and this time he was coming back to help, if Ma Teng and others rushed to Chang'an before Guo Yan and others, he still needed Xu Huang's help, so he planned to come down and say hello to Xu Huang, at least to have a face.
When he walked to Xu Huang, he saw that he had no intention of getting off the horse to pay homage, and he was very unhappy.
"General Xu and let the soldiers and horses go to rest, I don't know when the army can return to Chang'an?" Hu Zhen asked with suppressed anger.
"The soldiers and horses don't have to rest, and you won't be able to see the army return to Chang'an no matter what day." After that, he raised the big axe in his hand and killed Hu Zhen with an axe.
The flying Hu Zhen was still shocked with a thick skull on his face, and he never imagined that Xu Huang would suddenly attack.
