Guo Jia, Ma Teng, Han Sui, the three joined forces, and the military command was at the disposal of Guo Jia.

Han Sui had 35,000 soldiers and horses, Ma Teng had 25,000 soldiers and horses, Guo Jia left Wu Ban and Meng Da to lead the remaining 20,000 Jinfan troops to guard the strategic place of Chencang, and he only took Zhang Liao and Wu Yi, as well as 30,000 foot soldiers under Zhang Liao's command to march eastward.

In terms of the strength of troops at this time, Han Sui wants to fight Guo Jia alone, and he has a chance of winning, but Ma Teng's attitude, he is not sure, if Ma Teng and Guo Jia join forces, Han Sui is afraid that he will die and have no place to be buried.

Guo Jiadare only took 30,000 soldiers and horses to go on the road with Han Sui and Ma Teng, the reason is that in the overall strategy of Guanzhong, he is not afraid of Han Sui and Ma Teng, and Chen Cang has his 20,000 Jin Fan Army in the rear, will Hanzhong increase troops to Chen Cang? Han Sui Ma Teng had no way of knowing. To the east of them, the three generals Xu Chudian, Wei and Gao Shun, who were attacking Chang'an Road, plus Yan Yan, who went to capture Wuguan, these 24,000 soldiers and horses formed a front and rear encirclement with Chen Cang, Han Sui and Ma Teng dared to attack, first of all, they had to think clearly how to break through this encirclement.

When the conflict of interests between Guo Jia and Han Sui and Ma Teng has not really surfaced, it is the top priority to eliminate the common enemy of the three of them, Li Dao and Guo Yan, and as for the defeat of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the situation of cooperation between the three families will end.

The three of them can see this situation clearly and tacitly.

The army was marching out, Guo Jia did not sit on the commander's chariot, but rode with Han Sui Ma Teng, and the three warlord leaders wore armor and marched together.

"Brother Shoucheng, that one is your son Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, right?"

Guo Jia glanced at a young general who followed the three of them, in this era where it is not too much to judge people by their appearance, Ma Chao can stand out by virtue of his appearance, he is handsome and chic, and he is majestic!

Ma Teng's father and son's eyes flashed a different color, and Ma Teng said happily when he heard this: "Do you also know that there is Meng Qi in the world?" ”

With a hearty smile, Guo Jia cast a look of appreciation at Ma Chao and said: "The name of Jin Ma Chao is like thunder, and Brother Shoucheng has a son like Meng Qi, who envy others." ”

Hearing Guo Jia's appreciation, although Ma Chao's expression did not fluctuate much, a smug smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Ma Teng is also proud of his son, and he has a few humble words on his lips, but his face is quite colorful.

His eyes swept over the people around Ma Chao again, and Guo Jia found that there was a small general not far from Ma Chao's side, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, not smiling, and a little majestic in his fortitude.

"Brother Shoucheng, dare to ask who that general is?"

Following Guo Jia's line of sight, Ma Teng really admired Guo Jia's vision, recognized his son Ma Chao at first sight, and fell in love with his favorite generals who had repeatedly made military exploits under him at the second glance.

"His name is Pang De, the word is clear, and he has made many military exploits with me when I quelled the rebellion in Liangzhou, and he is a rare general in the world."

Guo Jia showed a look of understanding, arched his hand towards Pang De, and said, "The foot is a real hero." ”

Pound didn't know why Guo Jia treated him in such a solemn way, he was a little famous, but there were many people who were more famous than him in the audience.

After returning the salute to Guo Jia, Pang De also became curious about Guo Jia.

Guo Jia respects characters like Pound.

Although Pound was defeated by Guan Yu in history, compared to Yu Ban, who was defeated together, Pound is a person who knows how to repay gratitude and integrity, how does Cao Ying treat Ban? For more than ten years, he has been Cao Ying's right-hand man, but Yu Ban has demoted Guan Yu, what about Pang De? Swear not to surrender!

After asking Pang De, Guo Jia withdrew his gaze, there were not many people under Han Sui Ma Teng who could make him look at him differently, and if he asked the generals under their command one by one, it would cause the two to be suspicious.

Han Sui was unwilling to be lonely, and also looked at the generals of Guo Jia's camp, whether it was the young Zhang Liao or the slightly gentle-looking Wu Yi, they were not generals with big shoulders and round waists like bears and tigers, and Han Sui couldn't see why, but he saw Jia Xu, not that Jia Xu had an impressive appearance, but Guo Ye, who rode with Jia Xu and was protected by Jia Xu in his arms.

Guo Jia came out to fight and still fight his children?

"Envoy, who is that child?" Han Sui became suspicious and asked.

Guo Jia said lightly without looking back: "It's my eldest son, Guo Ye." Come with me and let him see him for a long time. ”

Not to mention Han Sui, even Ma Teng and the generals thought that Guo Jia was crazy, and there should be a limit to acting unexpectedly, take the child to the battlefield, and take care of it? What if there is a bad pool?

Except for a few curious glances at Guo Ye, the others didn't say anything.

The army slowly marched eastward, aiming at Chang'an.

Two days later, the three generals Xu Chudian and Wei Gaoshun led an army of 14,000 soldiers to Chang'an.

The gates of Chang'an were closed on all sides, and the drawbridge over the moat was suspended, but there were no defenders at the head of the city.

There are few people in the city, the defenders are less than 3,000, the officials and the people are withered, there is no combat power, the defenders in the city do not dare to fight, they want to flee for their lives but they are afraid that they will be chased and killed by the army outside the city when they open a city gate, and they are in a panic.

Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and the three generals rode horses in front of their respective armies, discussing how to break the city.

The main bus has been replaced, and Chang'an needs to be fought quickly!

They had all the siege equipment, but there was a disagreement over who would take the lead.

"Trapping the camp and attacking the city is commonplace, Zhong Kang, you lead the army to build a flying bridge in the moat, so that my soldiers can climb the ladder to take the city after attacking the city, and let you drive straight into the city after opening the city gate."

The most tragic battle was the vanguard troops, and Gao Shun took the job over.

Dian Wei also wanted to be a pioneer, but he couldn't speak, because his tiger guards were all wearing heavy armor and holding halberds, and such soldiers were not suitable for being pioneers.

Xu Chu patted his chest and said to Gao Shun: "The trapping camp is the most important force for the lord, and it can't be easily damaged, if there is really a large army in Chang'an, and the trapped camp is ambushed at the head of the city, won't it suffer a heavy blow?" If you want me to say, Gongxiao, you lead the army to rush into the city, I lead the army to attack the city, open the city gate, and the evil comes in the rear, and his tiger guard is not as fast as my and Gongxiao's soldiers, in case there is really an enemy army in the city, and the retreat will be fast. ”

Gao Shun and Xu Chu argued, Dian Wei touched his bald head and looked depressed, his tiger guard is the elite of the foot soldiers, if the two armies fight, the confrontation between the foot soldiers, his tiger guard is wearing heavy armor, can block ordinary bows and arrows, and is holding a halberd, melee combat can advance step by step, and can form a solid defense line, but the soldiers wearing heavy armor are indeed slightly less mobile.

"Two generals, can you listen to the next word?"

Fa Zheng had to come out to persuade Gao Shun and Xu Chu to stop, in the final analysis, the two generals had a good starting point, and it was not a fight for merit, but this soldier was coming to the city, seeing that the siege was imminent, the two rushed to do the dirty work and tired work, and put other princes under the tent, it is estimated that they are all resigning to each other.

Fa Zheng is a military advisor, a person who gives advice, and the three generals must listen to his words, and whether they adopt it or not is another matter.

The three of them looked at Fa Zheng to see what he thought.

"Li Dao Guo Yan knows that if the Son of Heaven escapes, they will be in a desperate situation, and everyone in the world will be punished, so they must be out of the nest in pursuit of the Son of Heaven, and there will be no army in Chang'an in ambush, hey, hey, three generals, listen to me."

Fa Zheng looked helpless, he had just finished analyzing the situation in front of him, the three generals seemed to be preparing to attack the city, Fa Zheng asked them to calm down a little, and continued: "There will be no heavy troops in Chang'an, but we still have to be cautious, there are no defenders in the city, it is very likely that there are not many defenders in the city, and at this moment, when I see the army coming, I am at a loss and dying in the city." Such a Chang'an City, if you can outwit it, don't storm it. Three generals, listen to me, you order the soldiers to shout in unison to the city to persuade them to surrender, as long as the momentum is loud enough, the frightened birds in the city will definitely let go of the last idea of resistance. ”

When the three generals heard this, they looked at each other and nodded together.

It's easy to shout, and it doesn't cost a lot of soldiers, even if the defenders in the city can't hold out, it can disturb the morale and momentum of the opponent's army.

After the three generals unified the slogan of persuasion to surrender, they each rode back to the front of the army and conveyed the military orders layer by layer.

With a raised arm, the three generals on the left, center and right looked at each other, and tacitly waved down at the same time.

"Listen to the people in the city, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will not be left!"

"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who resist will not stay! ”

…… 14,000 soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the sky and soaring into the sky.

With just the momentum, it seems that there is a momentum of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it!

The shouts of persuasion lasted for a long time, and it was impossible for the soldiers to keep shouting.

Seeing that the lifeless Chang'an City still had no movement, Xu Chu patted his horse and came to the middle of Dian Wei, pointed at Chang'an City with a long-handled broadsword, and said angrily: "I will lead the army to rush to the city." ”

Fa Zheng has no opinion, Dian Wei agrees, Gao Shun doesn't fight, if he fights again at this time, it will be a mistake.

Just as Xu Chu turned his head to order the siege of the city, Fa Zheng shouted to him: "General, slow down." Look! ”

Following the direction of Fazheng's finger, a descending flag was erected at the head of Chang'an City.

Squeak, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was also opened from the city, and from a distance, only a few figures were seen walking around the streets of the city, and the main road inside the city gate was depressed.

"Wouldn't it be over if you surrender early?" Xu Chu led the army and was about to enter the city, and Fa Zheng led the horse over to remind him to be careful of fraud in the city.

Xu Chu led the army into the city slowly, first to explore the situation in the city, and after half an hour, Xu Chu sent someone to explain that there was no ambush in the city.

Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Fa Zheng relieved themselves and led the army into the city.

Riding into the city, Fa Zheng couldn't help frowning, and the road was full of surrendered defenders who had lost their armor and put down their weapons, less than 3,000 people.

The scene in the city is not only bleak and withered, even the air has a putrid stench, ten rooms and nine empty, the house has only four walls, money and food materials have been swept away, and there are even many rotting and crawling maggot corpses on the side of the streets in the city!

Is this still Chang'an City, the western capital of the Han Dynasty?!

Fa Zheng is not a person who has never seen dead bodies, when he followed Guo Jia to bury Lu Bu's 40,000 army, he had seen corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood.

But in Chang'an, not only was there a foul smell, rotting corpses, but also countless disgusting maggots, which made him want to vomit several times.

"Three generals, first order the soldiers to clean the streets, all the corpses are burned, the soldiers try not to touch these corpses, the used brooms and tools are burned together, and there may be dead bodies in the houses in the city, and they must be dealt with in time."

Fa Zheng had expected the chaotic situation in Chang'an, but he didn't expect it to really catch him off guard, such a Chang'an city was the best breeding ground for plague.
