For example, when you hide in Chang'an City, you can attack Guan Yu and Dong Zhuo, who have entered Xiliang, and come with Ma Teng to attack on both sides.

Or, on the one hand, they surrounded Chang'an City, and on the other hand, they raised troops to attack Yizhou, forcing them to come out.

For this kind of plan, Zhuge Liang has taken precautions. arrange for Guan Yuhe to inform Dong Zhuo to pay attention to the safety of the back road at all times; Write a letter to Emperor Yuan (Liu Bei) and ask him to arrange for Daxiao Zhang Ren to lead the army to defend the road from Yongzhou to Yizhou, etc.

I did a lot of preparations, but I didn't expect that Zhang Chao didn't choose anything, but surrounded Chang'an City. What exactly is he going to do?

Zhuge Liang couldn't understand Zhang Chao's actions, so he decided to wait and see.

Under the city of Chang'an, Zhang Chao's 600,000 army stretched for dozens of miles, wrapping the periphery with a solid outskirts. put on a picture to capture Chang'an City.

Regarding Zhang Chao's decision to attack Chang'an City, the accompanying three military advisors, Fu Zhu, Li Ru and Pang Tong, were not very optimistic, and even they thought that this was another decision of the lord, and the so-called siege was just for show.

But who knows, what Zhang Chao thinks in his heart?

In the largest military camp tent, it is also the place where Zhang Chao rests and holds a meeting of the generals, where he is sitting eating fruits, looking at ancient books, and looks very calm.

But at this moment, it is indeed unstable in his heart. The decision to besiege Chang'an City was made by him, but why he did it, I am afraid that others cannot know.

But as Zhang Chao, who is familiar with this period of history, he knows very well that compared with the seemingly powerful Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang is even more of a confidant.

In history, Liu Bei was originally very weak, and there was even a fact that he faced Cao Cao's 800,000 army with 30,000 troops. If it weren't for this Zhuge Liang who insisted on moving the alliance with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu with his incorruptible tongue, I am afraid that there would be no later Three Kingdoms to say.

Cao Cao did not unify the whole country until his death, and most of the reasons were caused by the existence of Zhuge Liang.

In the face of such a wise man, others may be careless, but Zhang Chao is absolutely not. Even in his opinion, even if this battle can't capture Yongzhou and Xiliang, as long as Zhuge Liang can be killed, it will be a great success.

In this way, it is normal to watch him make such a decision. Because he had no other ideas, he had only one request, which was to capture Chang'an City and kill Zhuge Liang.

In order to achieve this goal, he let the four legions guard the four city gates, and also arranged for Lu Bu to garrison in the west to prevent Guan Yu from leading the army to rescue.

arranged step by step, fortunately, Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out his intentions, and thought that he was acting as a deterrent, so that his layout could be calmly unfolded. Even when he got the information of the members of Tianyan, Guan Yu was still confronting Pang De and had no intention of returning to help.

In this way, it is a good thing, Zhang Chao can let go of his hands and feet to capture Chang'an City.

No one knows Zhang Chao's true intentions, even Zhiru Zhuge Liang can't guess either.

He also thought that Zhang Chaojun was bluffing, and he even ridiculed the other party in his heart. There is food and water in Chang'an City, even if it is guarded for a year and a half, there will be no problem. On the contrary, Zhang Chao's army came from thousands of miles, and if the war dragged on for too long, I am afraid that it would be very disadvantageous.

"Pass my order, the army will have a good rest today, and tomorrow will start attacking Chang'an City." In the big tent, Zhang Chao called four army commanders and issued military orders.

"No." Dian Wei and the others were naturally excited. As a general, all you want is to kill the enemy on the battlefield, otherwise where will there be an opportunity to make military merits.

Regarding Zhang Chao's decision, Fu Zhu and the other three military advisors did have a worried face, they couldn't understand why the army stopped here and didn't advance, why didn't they take the opportunity to go to Dong Zhuo, did the lord forget that Xiliang was still in danger?

But no matter what kind of thoughts he has in his heart, Zhang Chao is the master, and when he made this decision, he didn't even discuss it with the military advisors, so there was only one possibility, that is, he didn't need their opinions at all, so it was better to shut up.

The unpredictability of the monarch is the truth.

Whether you are really useful or not depends not on how much power you have, but on whether the monarch wants to enable you, and he relies on you, and your role will be great.

If you abandon it, you are useless.

The night passed quickly. Early the next morning, four legions of 500,000 men began to attack the city from outside the four gates to the top of the tower.

As if attacking Xinfeng City, the first transformed catapult was pushed out, approaching Chang'an City mightily.

"It's really a siege." In a mansion in Chang'an City, this was originally the house of a minister under Dong Zhuo, and later Zhuge Liang temporarily borrowed it when he entered here. And after he heard the report of his subordinates, saying that Zhang Chao's army had begun to attack the city, and it was not like a joke, he was so shocked that he stood up from his chair.

"It shouldn't be." Gently shaking the goose feather fan to himself, Zhuge Liang looked very puzzled.

Perhaps in his opinion, Zhang Chao would not attack Chang'an City no matter what, because doing so did not seem to be beneficial to him. If you do so, you will probably hurt yourself.

The so-called necessary siege warfare, strictly speaking, is the most helpless measure to be taken when there is no other way at all. And it's a decision that needs to be made with the thought that there is a certain price to pay.

It can be seen that the current situation shows that Chang'an City is not blocked on the road of Zhang Chao's army to the west, and it can be detoured. But why did he still besiege and siege the city? Could it be that he was worried that he would give him a moment in the back?

Yes, Zhuge Liang has such an idea. For this reason, he even contacted Fa Zheng, who was in Dong Zhuo's army, that is, once Zhang Chao led the army to attack, they would have to defend with all their might, waiting for Zhuge Liang to come behind Zhang Chao's army and attack on both sides. In order to achieve the goal of heavy damage, Guan Yu's side can also be killed from Poqiang City to Chang'an at any time.

It can be said that this is the big dish that Zhuge Liang prepared for Zhang Chao. First asked Wang Fang to lead the army to block Zhang Chao, he knew that this army would not be able to stop it, but he still sent it up, just to make them careless.

After defeating the king, they will think that Dong Zhuojun is nothing more than that, so that they can move forward generously. After that, Zhuge Liang avoided his edge and retreated to Chang'an City, giving people a sense of weakness, so he was not afraid that Zhang Chao would not be fooled.

Everything that should be done has been done, just wait for Zhang Chao to lead the army through Chang'an City, and then you can do two-sided, or even three-sided schemes. At that time, it was only necessary to besiege it, and once the food could not be transported, he did not believe that the 600,000 army would not be chaotic, and then the opportunity would naturally come.

But who would have expected that Zhang Chao would not move forward after arriving in Chang'an, but stopped here and began to concentrate on attacking Chang'an City?

"Well, it must be that he wants to see if he can take the city, it must be so." Zhuge Liang thought that Zhang Chao was acting cautiously, so he comforted himself. After that, he said to the soldiers who had sent orders: "Inform the generals to go to the four gates to supervise the battle according to the previous plan." ”

Zhuge Liang is a cautious person, but as long as he is there, he will make an assumption about all the possibilities that will happen in the future. He also considered the battle of the natural siege of the city, and for this reason, he also deliberately arranged the plan of Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Bao and Hu Zhen to each guard a city tower. Now it seems that it is really used.

On the city of Chang'an, Zhang Fei and others performed their duties and launched a fierce siege and defensive battle with the siege army under the city.

Zhang Chao actually began to attack Chang'an City, and as soon as the news reached the ears of all parties, it caused all kinds of speculation.

...... ......

Xiliang Cangsong City.

Ma Teng faced the approach of Dong Zhuo's army step by step, and repeatedly retreated, and was now living in Cangsong City, which was far from his capital Guzang.

After hearing that Zhang Chao actually marched towards Yongzheng with five troops, he was excited. With these 600,000 reinforcements, the Ma family can be protected.

The facts were as he guessed, first defeated Dong Zhuojun in Xinfeng City, killed the general Wang Fang, and then marched into Chang'an City.

This also made Ma Teng see hope, but who would have thought that this army suddenly stopped, stopped advancing, and began to besiege Chang'an City, how this trick changed, he really couldn't understand.

Ma Teng, who couldn't figure it out, called his nephew Ma Dai and asked him about the reason for his birth.

As Ma Dai, who had been to Jinyang City twice and had an interview with Zhang Chao, he had been paying close attention to the movements of this support army.

Although the price to pay for this is not small, after all, it is the only way to survive.

After receiving the order, Ma Dai came to the lord's mansion and met Ma Teng.

"Dai'er, tell me, what's going on with all this? The general has obviously captured the two cities of Xinfeng and Yin. Now is the time to enter my Xiliang and attack Dong Zhuo's old thief on both sides with us, but why did he suddenly stop?

On the way here, Ma Dai thought of all kinds of possibilities, but it was not the slightest preparation. Seeing that his body changed slightly, he clenched his fists and said: "Lord, in Dai's opinion, this should be the general's cautious move." ”

"A prudent move? Let's hear it. Ma Teng's expression was normal, but in fact, he was very anxious in his heart. Today's situation in Xiliang is not good. In the face of the oppression of the Liu and Dong coalition forces, the military spirit has become disordered. Even a while ago, there was a move by a general with a soldier to surrender to Dong Zhuo.

Fortunately, the news that Zhang Chao would come to support them soon spread, which gradually stabilized the morale of the army. But after all, this is borrowed from an external force, and no one knows what will happen next. Once Zhang Chao's reinforcements are blocked, perhaps there will be variables.
