355. Fighting
Outside Chang'an City, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have gathered, crowded, at a glance, in addition to people or people, in that troubled era and the withering of the population, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses gathered, can be described as a momentary grand occasion, modern people who have not seen that scene can not imagine the situation of the crowd boiling, especially these hundreds of thousands of people are still elite soldiers, the vertical and horizontal gaps are clear, suddenly cast a gaze, very shocking.
Less than ten kilometers away from Chang'an City, Yuan Shang sat quietly in the tent with many generals accompanying the army.
More than a dozen veterans led by Ju Yi sat neatly, and Pang Tong, a staff officer of the army, set up a small table on the left side of Yuan Shang, in addition to acting as a think tank, he also fulfilled the responsibility of drafting documents.
Yuan Shang took off his strong suit, carrying the Biquan sword at his waist, and the golden armor on his body was to brighten the eyes of the blind in modern terms.
As the main general of one party, wearing such a dazzling outfit is simply a live target, if it weren't for the unanimous request of Tian Feng and other old people under Yuan Shao's command, Yuan Shang would have taken off this golden armor that was in the way.
But then again, although this golden armor is a little brighter, the defense is very amazing, Yuan Shang personally tried, within fifty steps, a stone hard bow with a broken cone arrow only shot a small pit on the armor and could not shoot through, such a defense against the sky, it is really staggering, even the old craftsmen of the Craftsman Division are also praised, compared to the armor worn by ordinary generals, it is definitely a gap between heaven and earth.
Yuan Shang's Chinese army commander account will naturally not be small, including Yuan Shang, there are nearly 30 people in total, and the generals are gathered, all looking at Yuan Shang with solemn faces.
Yuan Shang leaned the Biquan sword on his leg, his eyes closed tightly, leisurely. Breathe evenly. Thoughts wander the world. It seems to be in a nap.
Except for Pang Tong, who was as indifferent as Yuan Shang, the rest of the dozens of generals above the rank of captain and above, including Ju Yi, Xu Huang, Wang Ling, Xu Sheng, and Yunhe, were already a little unable to sit still.
These generals, from the general-level Ju Yi Xu Huang, down to the captain-level Wang Ling, Xu Shengyunhe, and the young generals such as Bayun Fuhu, all stared at Yuan Shang with heavy breath, and now they have arrived outside Chang'an City, but Yuan Shang did not make a move, and hurried for a few days. But they haven't fought a battle yet, these new and old generals have long been itchy, and they all can't wait to lead their subordinates to Chang'an and conquer the imperial capital at their feet, but without Yuan Shang's order, no one dares to move, and their butts are like sitting on a hot iron plate, no matter how you look at it, they all look like they can't sit still.
It's no wonder they can't sit still, Chang'an is too important. Before leaving, Yuan Shang held several grand military meetings that basically revolved around the battle for Chang'an City, and not only the generals were in high spirits. It is an ordinary pawn who sharpens his knife Huo Huo is ready to cut a knife to the pigs and sheep, this Chang'an is not Linrong City, whether it is the actual distance, or the future strategic planning, it is not Linrong City can be compared, the control of Chang'an, is basically equivalent to the control of the Guanzhong generation, Yuan Shangruo wants to be the king and hegemon, Chang'an, which is closer to the state, should be the first choice, this is also the result of the unified thinking of many strategists, civil and military are united, this march into Chang'an, rare no quarrel, for the soldiers to seize Chang'an, the tiger and wolf army this combat weapon, It started in an instant, and all the soldiers came with the idea of winning Chang'an for military merits, so the passion for fighting spread from the veteran to the small soldiers, all of whom were full of morale, and they were afraid that they would be one step too late for the Cao and Liu families.
Yuan Shang still closed his eyes and wandered the sky, leaving these generals standing or sitting anxiously and helplessly looking forward to each other, and the entire Chinese army tent, except for the sound of breathing, was terrifyingly quiet.
This situation lasted for more than half an hour, and a person outside the tent opened the curtain and walked in.
Dozens of eyes shot straight away like swords, and their eyes were shining as they stared at the person who walked in.
The man was dizzy, looked straight at Yuan Shang, and stood with his fists clenched.
Yuan Shang's ears moved slightly, he opened his eyes at the right time, pursed his lips slightly, looked at the person who entered the account, and said indifferently: "What is the situation outside Chang'an City?" ”
The gray-robed young man with a broken arm stepped forward and responded indifferently: "The two families of soldiers and horses have gathered, plus Dong Zhuo who is hidden not far away, the more fifteen or sixteen of the three soldiers and horses. ”
There was a buzz on the ground, and the faces of everyone in the tent changed slightly, and at the moment there were only about 50,000 tigers and wolves, more than 30,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 foot soldiers, compared with the three soldiers and horses, they were not superior in numbers.
However, Yuan Shang's face was indifferent, as if he had guessed, nodded slightly, and asked again: "Mr. Chen hasn't left Chang'an yet?" ”
"Yes."
The young man with the broken arm is the spy placed in Chang'an by the Intelligence Department, and he is also Yuan Shangna's second brother Yuan Xi, who disappeared for a while, the Chang'an sentinel, divided into two, one dark and one bright, Yuan Xi is one of the Mingzi, and Chen Gong broke into the palace together to try to take Liu Xie away, but he returned in vain, and had to leave Chang'an first after revealing his identity, and the information in Chang'an City was handed over to the darker hidden shadow to be responsible.
"Chen Gong said that the person should still be in Chang'an City, so let me leave first, and I sat in Chang'an to watch the wind and clouds, trying to find the trace of that person."
"Hmm."
Yuan Shang touched his chin, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.
"This matter, Chen Gong is investigating, you can't relax, no matter what, even if that person dies, he can't fall into the hands of others, understand?"
A trace of creepy charm flashed in the depths of Yuan Shang's eyes, and Yuan Xi felt cold in his hands and feet.
"Don't worry, as long as he is in Chang'an, even if he digs seven feet into the ground, I will pull him out." Yuan Xi said quite confidently, he has been lurking in Chang'an for so long, and he is probably the only one who can say such things.
Yuan Shang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" ”
"Chaos"
Yuan Xi shook his head: "For a long time, there has been a force hidden in Chang'an City, and I just guessed and didn't know the details of the other party. ”
Yuan Shang frowned: "The surname Wang?" ”
Yuan Xi nodded: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”
"That's a bit of a problem."
Yuan Shang shook his head, thinking of Tian Feng's evaluation of the person surnamed Wang, he suddenly felt a little heavier.
"Can you find out the arrangement of that person in the city?"
Yuan Xi sighed and shook his head and said: "I left Chang'an ahead of time, and I only found out that the other party hid a large number of elite soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, all of whom were old soldiers of Yulin back then. ”
Yuan Shang nodded, but didn't ask anything more, motioned for Yuan Xi to sit down, the two brothers, but not so polite, the position is naturally there, Yuan Xi, who lost an arm, found a place to sit down cleanly, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Yuan Shang like a general.
Yuan Shang's eyes swept over everyone in the tent one by one, and landed on Pang De, who was silent, and the two glanced at each other, and both saw something else in each other's eyes.
Yuan Shang's face gradually became resolute, and he suddenly got up and said, "The generals will listen to the order." ”
More than thirty generals were shocked in their hearts, and they suddenly got up and hugged their fists and said, "The last general." ”
"The whole army is out of camp."
Ju Yi Xu Huang and the others turned happy and responded loudly: "Huh." ”
Yuan Shang ordered, just set up less than two hours of the camp suddenly turned, in addition to the gang and the army with the craftsman horseman, the combat soldiers in a very short period of time to complete, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, all black armor, 32,000 light cavalry, 3,000 wolves riding heavy cavalry, the rest are all elite foot soldiers, with the wolf roaring a long and continuous number of horns, tens of thousands of elite and state tiger wolves, stepping on a calm rhythm, roaring.
Outside Chang'an City, Liu Bei and Cao Cao sat under the canopy, looking like they were talking very happily, and there was no trace of treating each other as enemies of life and death.
The two sides added up to 1120,000 soldiers and horses, looking at each other silently, vigilant, the rain gradually lightened, from early morning to unitary time, if it was a sunny day, the sun was almost setting at this time, and at this moment Chang'an outside the city was groggy, from early in the morning, so the concept of time, at this time was blurred.
"Brother Meng De, it's not early, it seems that Yuan Shang's little boy will not choose to attack the city today, Chang'an is in front, brother takes it by himself, Xuande and the soldiers find a place to set up camp." Liu Bei smiled lightly.
"No"
Cao Cao is not a fool, Liu Bei's insidiousness, he has already realized it, and just about to say something, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao were neither military soldiers, and their first reaction was to guess, and those two faces changed color abruptly. (To be continued......)
