Cao Ying hid, not to meet the horn soldiers who are now "making trouble", it is considered to have picked up a life, if he goes out to meet the horn soldiers at this time, not only can he not unload the errand, but will kill him, if he sees Jia Xu, Jia Xu must kill him!

At this time, Jia Xu was rushing to Chang'an with a large army, he waited on the road for two days, sent scouts to investigate the movements of Chang'an, and found that there was no movement in Chang'an, and there was no mobilization of the army. Immediately urge the army and pounce on Chang'an!

Regardless of whether the cavalry or the infantry, the horn soldiers all have horses when marching, the difference is only that the infantry has only one horse, while the cavalry has many horses, and the whole army gallops on horseback, which is naturally extremely fast. From the force to the pounce to Chang'an, it only took two days.

When Jia Xu arrived in Chang'an, it was just in the evening of that day, it was dark early in winter, and when he arrived thirty miles away from Chang'an, the scouts rushed back and told him that Chang'an had closed the city gates, and that there were countless torches in the city, and all the city gates had been closed, and it was obvious that the officials in the city had known that they were coming. Of course, knowing that they are coming, it is easy to do, tens of thousands of Fujiao troops are coming, if the officials in the city don't know, it would be strange, but the officials also obviously regard the Fujiao army as an enemy, otherwise they should send someone to contact at this time, instead of closing the city gate!

Jia Xu listened to the scout's report and knew in his heart that the officials in the city must have not handled Cao Ying's affairs well, otherwise they would not have panicked. He came with the Fujiao Army, just to occupy Chang'an, so there is no need to be polite, anyway, the excuse is found, and the only thing left is to go to war!

Jia Xu took out the map of Chang'an, he came from the west, the location is northwest, from this aspect to enter Chang'an, it is not too easy, when Chang'an was built in the Western Han Dynasty, in order to guard against the Huns from the northwest, so the west city and the north city are the most solid, especially the west city, that is, the direction he is in now, the outside of the city is full of fortresses, all the fortresses echo each other, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the north city is similar, and there is an outer city outside the Mingguang Palace, attack from these two aspects, 10,000 soldiers want to enter the city, It's almost impossible.

If you attack from the south city, it is the aspect of Weiyang Palace, but it has always been a heavy place, and there are fortresses outside the city, which is also difficult to attack, so the troops of 10,000 people, the main direction of attack can only be the east, and the best city gate is Xuanping Gate, which is the city gate where the tributary envoys walked in the past, there is a large flat land outside the city, and the fortress is the least, mainly the place where the Han court shows its prestige to the outside.

Jia Xu said: "Let's go around to the east, tonight the brothers take turns to rest, change a team of people every half an hour, go to the city gate to scold, let the officials inside come out to negotiate!" ”

After conveying the order, the Fujiao army immediately turned, from west to north, and then from north to east, and then ran to Xuanping Gate in more time! When they arrived at the Xuanping Gate, the Fujiao soldiers looked at the Han Dynasty by the moonlight and the torch light on the city gate, and all made a sound of admiration, this city gate is really too magnificent, the city gate they have seen, this is the most!

Jia Xu rode on the horse, panting and said: "Chang'an is really Chang'an, it's not as small as our countryside." Obediently, just looking at this city gate building has the momentum of despising the world! ”

Dian Wei said: "It's really big, look at this city gate building, I'm afraid it can be full of thousands of soldiers, and then count the city wall, just the guard strength of this gate, I'm afraid it will be more than 5,000!" ”

Jia Xu hummed and said, "I just don't know where Jing Zhaoyin is, and whether the captain of Si Li is here, they may still be guarding the west!" ”

Dian Wei was very excited, but he was very rare, and said: "Gao Shun didn't come with us, if we attack the city now, we don't even have a cloud ladder, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack it, and many brothers will die!" ”

Jia Xu cut his voice and said with a smile: "What are you kidding, even if you want to attack the city, it's just for show, can you really attack, it's not a rebellion!" ”

He turned around, called a herald, and said, "Go to the city gate and shout, tell the people above, let Gai Xun and Zhang Wen come, I have something to say to them!" ”

The heralds immediately rushed over, shouting loudly under the city, calling Gai Xun and Zhang Wen by name, and not saving any face.

The Han soldiers on the city gate saw that the Fujiao army turned to the city gate he guarded, only felt dizzy, and could barely stand, Chang'an Chengping said for a long time, since the general's grandfather's generation, he has never seen a battle, and in his life, in addition to the regular drills, even Chang'an, the army of thousands of people has not seen, suddenly outside the city there are tens of thousands of Fujiao soldiers all over the mountains, where can he stand this fright, has sent people to find Gai Xun and Zhang Wen, and he is even ready if the Fujiao soldiers attack the city, He took off his armor and ran away!

Listening to the shouts of the heralds from Fujiao, the general himself went to the battlements and shouted below: "Is it a brother from Fujiao Fort?" There is something to say, everyone eats the military rations of the imperial court, and they are all their own brothers, but don't misunderstand, don't be rude! ”

The herald was quite arrogant, and any soldier who had been in the Fujiao army for a long time looked down on other armies, and this herald was no exception, he raised his head and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, go and call Gai Xun and Zhang Wen to come, let them come and talk back to my army, if you dare to rub in, be careful that we personally enter the city and arrest them out!" ”

The general complained bitterly in his heart, what kind of soldier is really full, there are so many city gates, he just doesn't go, but he has to come to his own Xuanping Gate, isn't it fatal! He had no choice but to send people to urge Gai Xun and Zhang Wen again, so that they could hurry up and come to Xuanpingmen!

After a long time, Gai Xun and Zhang Wen still haven't arrived, and Jia Xu has already sent a herald to urge three times, and on the third time, the herald directly told the generals that Gai Xun and Zhang Wen will not arrive again, they will think that this is a great disrespect to the Fujiao Army, and all the consequences caused by it will be borne by them!

After the herald went down, a group of about 1,000 horn soldiers drove out of the city, and a stone's throw away from the city, the horn soldiers got off their horses and listed a square array, which seemed to be about to attack the city. This season is cold and frozen, although the moat of Chang'an is wide, it has been frozen, as long as the horn soldiers start to attack, they will directly hit the city gate, and at this time the city gate is not blocked, it is very likely to be knocked open.

Of course, for the Fujiao Army, they are just making an offensive posture, and it is impossible for them to really attack. However, the Han soldiers in the city didn't know, they saw the Fujiao soldiers lined up, and exclaimed in unison, the general was even more anxious and sweaty, and he couldn't care about anything else, he personally went down the city wall to find Gai Xun and Zhang Wen, he really couldn't handle the matter here!

On the way, the general ran into Zhang Wen who rushed over, and as soon as he told him about the matter, Zhang Wen was relieved. Zhang Wen was originally staying in the yamen with Gai Xun, and when he heard that the Fujiao army was thirty miles away from the city, Gai Xun had to be in the middle of the command and refused to leave the yamen, so Zhang Wen had to go to Zhangcheng Gate by himself, but he heard that the Fujiao army went around to Xuanping Gate, so he had no choice but to run to Xuanping Gate again, but he didn't want to meet the general guarding Xuanping Gate halfway.

Zhang Wen rushed to the city gate with him, Zhang Wen said: "Don't panic, do you really think that the Fujiao Army can attack the city?" Wouldn't that be a rebellion! ”

The general hurriedly said: "But they are really in formation!" ”

The two went up the city wall together, Zhang Wen looked at the Fujiao army below, and he said, "If it's really in formation, then it's safe." He pointed out of the city and said, "It would be dangerous if they were not arrayed, but when they were arrayed, and they said they had to see me, that they would not attack; If they really have the heart to attack, how can they be like this, they will directly touch the dark and pounce on them without a sound, will they still make us ready! ”

Only then did the general put his mind at ease and said, "General Zhang is still wise, and the last general has not figured it out." Then do you want to call Lord Gai? ”

"Of course you have to call, he is the chief official of Chang'an, and who will come out if he doesn't come out at this time. Tell him that Jia Xu asked him to come out, if he doesn't come out, then the Fujiao army will attack the city, and all the consequences will be borne by him! Zhang Wen said.

The general immediately sent someone to call Gai Xun again.

Zhang Wenchong shouted from afar: "This general is the captain of Si Li, please Jia Juncheng come over and speak!" ”

The Fujiao herald immediately went to report to Jia Xu, and when Jia Xu heard this, he rode over and shouted to the top: "General Zhang, I am Jia Xu." My Li Lang has an accident in your Sizhou, you have to give an explanation, otherwise my Fujiao Army will be in chaos, if there are any unspeakable consequences, you have to bear it, I, Jia, am not responsible! ”

Zhang Wen said: "Jia Juncheng, don't be bored, Master Gai will be here soon, and he will answer all your questions!" He also learned to be obedient and refused to take responsibility, so he had to wait for Gaixun to come.

It didn't take long for him to finish speaking, and Gai Xun climbed the city wall panting, came to him, and asked, "What did Jia Xu say?" He looked down and said, "It's okay, he won't attack, the more he puts on a driving position, the more he can't attack!" ”

Zhang Wen thought to himself: "Heroes see the same thing...... Damn, what kind of hero is he, how can he be compared to me! ”

Jia Xu screamed again, and he had to give him an explanation.

Gai Xun shouted downward, "Has Li Junhou come to Sizhou?" We don't know at all, we haven't even seen the people who sent our relatives, if you are looking for someone, you go elsewhere to find it, don't look for it in Chang'an, go quickly, if you are noisy in the city again, be careful that we treat you like a thief, we can release arrows! ”

Jia Xu was taken aback, it is very common in officialdom to pass the buck to each other, he has always known it, but the blame has reached the point of reaching this peak, which is worthy of admiration!

Jia Xu is a little confused now, the situation in Chang'an is completely different from what he expected, and he can't come up with an idea of what to do next. He had no choice but to shout: "Then we can catch the robbers nearby, and if there is any conflict, don't blame us!" ”

Gai Xun shouted: "If there is a conflict, it is all to blame you, of course you are to blame!" He shouted these words very loudly, very imposing, it is hard to imagine that he is such an imposing civil official, and he dares to shout so much when the Fujiao Army is pressurized, which is completely not taking the Fujiao Army in his eyes!

Zhang Wen raised his thumb and said: "Brother Gai, I have always looked down on you, I think you used to talk and do things, and you were not like a man, but now I feel that you are a big husband, brother and I are far inferior to you!" ”

Jia Xu below turned around and said: "Things are not going to be easy, send someone back immediately and let Li Lang come in person!" ”
