Shixun wanted to capture Chang'an City, but he didn't want too many casualties, so he was forced to ask Lu Su for advice. Lu Su said that although the armies had just been encircled, the Duan family army was in the east, and Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin were in the north, and they had been stationed for many days. Don't hope for the enemy's internal strife, now the generals under the command of Li Dao, such as his subordinate Li Li, his younger brother Li Ying, etc., are all one door, common loss and common prosperity, if you want to surrender, the envoy has already been sent, until this moment there is no movement, that is an iron heart to give Li Dao a funeral - therefore, we must go all out to attack the city.
Yes Xun said that Chang'an City is high and dense, if the ants are attached, there will be many damages, there is a dry heaven and harmony, what is Zijing's trick to teach me? Lu Su smiled slightly: "Hongfu only saw the city high, but he didn't see the city wide. There are more than 30,000 steps around Chang'an, and Li Wei only has more than 10,000 people, how can he take care of it? But choose its weak points, select the elite, Jia Yong, I don't think there is much damage, and you can go down in one go. β
Yes Xun said that's good, let's go around the city and find out what the weak points are. Lu Su shook his head lightly: "My so-called weak person is its guard, not the city, so you don't have to look at it." Today, you can attack on three sides, one side of the pause, wait for it to be unguarded, and then log in, this sound is also a plan to attack the west. β
It's Xun who understands the taste. Chang'an City is too big, the number of soldiers in Li Dao's hands is limited, although he can drive the people to the city to help defend it, but the morale and combat effectiveness of the people are quite limited, and it is difficult to resist the thunderous blow of the army. As long as he pretends to attack fiercely, he can naturally mobilize Li Dao's soldiers and horses to make him expose his flaws.
So now that this plan has been decided, let's study where to attack. and sending what is the main attack. Shi Xun groaned slightly, and he had already picked a candidate: "Lu Bu will be Gao Shun." Yes. β
Gao Shunzi said that he was a first-class general in Lu Bu's army, and the history books said that he was "innocent and majestic, did not drink, and was not left behind, and the generals had more than 700 soldiers, numbered as 1,000 people, and the armor and fighting equipment were refined and neat." Every attack is broken, and it is called the trap camp." Speaking of loyalty and bravery, Shi Xun really can't think of anyone among other soldiers and horses who can compare to Gao Shun, okay, then he.
As for the direction of the main attack, Lu Su said: "Among the soldiers and horses of each department, there are more than 10,000 in the east and north of the city. The number is the smallest, but I expect that Li Wei knows that Jia Xu will not dare to ignore Dongcheng, and the candidates and Cheng Yin are not strategic, or not equipped. It can make Gao Shun attack from the north of the city. β
After the plan was decided, Shixun sent people to summon the generals. They all came to the west of the city to discuss and put their plans together. All the generals had no objections, and after they returned, they prepared attack tools and assigned tasks. Three days later, an onslaught was launched on all sides. Among them, Jia Xu was in the east of the city, commanding Duan's army. The battle was very orderly, Ma Teng and others were in the west of the city, and Lu Bu was in the south of the city, all of them pretended to pounce on the whole line, and the momentum was quite terrifying, only the candidates and Cheng Yin in the north of the city were tired and procrastinating, and the pressure on the defenders was quite limited.
As expected, Li Wei really transferred the main force to the other three gates to hold on, leaving only a small number of old and weak people in the north of the city, and finally gave Gao Shun a chance to rise up and win. Of course, the grasp of the timing and the choice of the assault point are completely incomprehensible to Shixun, and Gao Shun's knowledge is also very limited, but Shixun sent Lu Su to the north of the city in advance, and he was fully responsible for breaking the city. The battle started in the early morning, and the battle was three strokes on the sun, Lu Zijing boarded the high oar, looked from afar, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and then raised the red flag prepared in advance, and raised it three times downward.
Gao Shun and his famous "trapped camp" had long been neatly clothed, lined up behind the formation, eager to wait for Lu Su's orders. At this moment, when he saw the red flag shaking three times, Gao Changdao immediately raised the sword and shield in his hand and roared angrily: "The first to board, Wenhou will have a heavy reward!" "Rushed out first.
The "trapped camp" were all on horseback, and when they heard the order, they followed the lord and slaughtered the surging city. About a stone's throw away from the city wall, Gao Shun took the lead, dismounted one after another, charged on foot, and then took over the long ladder, hook, and rope held by the soldiers of Hou and Cheng who were pretending to attack the city, and shouted and rushed straight to the city wall.
Random arrows were shot down on the city, and most of Gao Shun's troops were the same as the main generals, with a wooden shield in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, which was covered by a shield at the moment, but only six or seven people were shot down, and all of them were under the city wall. Several soldiers set up a long ladder, and Gao Shun took the lead and jumped up. The guards of the city used hooks and forks to push the long ladder, but they didn't move, and they used rolling wood and stones to hit Gao Shun, all of which he dodged and avoided, and some leaned out to put arrows down, but were aimed at an arrow through the brain by the marksman in the "trapped camp". Seeing that Gao Shun was already approaching the city wall, the two guards each raised their spears to stab, a good Gao Changdao, threw a shield in his left hand, and the long knife in his right hand was also temporarily held in his mouth, and he left his hands one in one hand, firmly held the two spears, and then jumped up with his strength, and he had already stood firmly on the city wall.
The two soldiers struggled to draw their spears, but the handle of the spear was as if it was born in Gao Shun's hand, and they couldn't pull it at all. Immediately, Gao Shun raised his arms, and his spears were together, knocking the two soldiers together, and the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and they fell to the ground. Gao Shun abandoned the spear, took the knife from his mouth, and with a loud shout, he had already split an enemy general in half diagonally from his left shoulder to his right rib.
Li Wei's garrison of the northern city was already weak, and the army had been surrounded for several days, and the generals did not want to surrender, or did not dare to surrender, and the soldiers had already begun to flee, so at this moment, seeing that Gao Shun had already climbed the city wall, he was invincible, and the guards shouted, 66 and continued to scatter and flee. Soon, there were more and more soldiers who "trapped the camp" on the city wall, and Gao Shun led them to completely disperse the defenders of the city, and killed them under the city, cut the latch and unlocked it, put down the drawbridge "boom", and ripped the city gate "creak" open.
Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin and other generals cheered in unison and led the troops and horses to drive in.
The north gate was broken, Li Dao and others knew that the general trend had gone, so they had to gather soldiers and horses, because they saw that there were few enemies in the east city, they opened the east gate and killed, wanting to escape by taking advantage of the gap. However, it was Jia Xu who attacked Dongcheng, how could the dignified Jia Wenhe not prepare in advance and set up an ambush? As a result, Li Dao, Li Li, Li Ying, Wang Chang and other generals could not walk two arrows, so they were tripped by ropes and fell from their horses one after another, all of which were captured by Duan Jun.
Li Dao was pushed to the ground, still shouting: "Where is Duan Zhongming?" Tell him to come out and talk! Jia Xu rode out and said coldly: "General Duan is not in the army, what can Li Gong say?" Li Dao stiffened his neck, glanced at him, and said in a mournful voice: "Jia Gong, in the past, Wang Yun Pifu wanted to kill a certain life, and it was all thanks to Jia Gong's rescue." I wonder if you can save me today? β
Jia Xu replied with a sinking face: "In the past, I waited for Chang'an to enter Chang'an, punished Wang Yun, and persuaded each other bitterly, asking General Li, General Guo and others to assist the Son of Heaven in order to become the king, but you and others did not listen to me. Now that you are poor in the twilight of the day, do you still hope to save you? β
Li Wei sighed and said: "The Son of Heaven has returned to the east, and I can't catch up with it, I know that there is today." Although, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials hate me to the bone, and they will tear me apart, I still hope that Jia Gongnian will allow me to kill myself for the sake of my fellow villagers and old people. β
Jia Xu nodded slightly, and then turned his horse away. Not long after, Li Dao and the others all committed suicide, and the sergeant cut off the rank and dedicated it to Jia Xu - Chang'an was recovered.
Before the siege of the city, Shixun made three chapters with the princes of all walks of life, and most of the people were still stationed outside the city, and each department only allowed 1,000 people to enter the city, and they could choose to live in the old mansion of the minister, and they were not allowed to harass or rob the people. The treasury is important, please Xiahou Yuan led the cavalry to occupy it first, and in the future, the grain and straw will be distributed according to the proportion of soldiers, and the gold and silk will be divided equally, and the imperial court will not take any of the rest as long as Chang'an City and the people in the city.
I don't know why, Lu Bu, who has always been used to looting, turned out to be very obedient this time, and Jia Xu had no objections, as for Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, etc., there were not many soldiers and horses, and I heard that each ministry only allowed 1,000 people to enter the city, and afterwards the gold and silk had to be divided equally, and they were all overjoyed, and even called "obey orders". There was only one left, Ma Teng, who was getting older, and his temperament became gentle, and when he saw that it was difficult to disagree, he stopped insisting after shouting two sentences.
After the city was broken, the armies entered, and it was Xun and others who occupied Li Wei's old residence first, Lu Bu occupied Guo Yan's mansion, and Ma Teng occupied the Baijun mansion, and the rest had their own basis. Jia Xu had an old house in Chang'an, that is, he took 100 gold and the householders, ordered him to move out, and lived in it himself, and then sent someone to treat Li Dao and the others with lime and send them to Shixun to see.
Shi Xun looked at those level boxes and trembled a little, so he had to pretend to smile slightly: "I don't know them, how can I check them?" Since he occupied Li Dao's mansion, there were family servants in the mansion, so he picked a few to take a look at it, and confirmed that it was true, so he sealed it and brought it back to Xuchang another day.
That night, Shi Xun and Lu Su held a banquet in Li Dao's mansion to entertain the generals. After saying a few clichΓ©s, Shi Xun said: "This time to sweep away the rebels and recover Chang'an, Gao Shun of Wenhou's department took the lead in breaking the city, ranking first in merit, Xun is the order of the Son of Heaven, and Gao Shun is the general of rebellion; Jia Gong beheaded Li Dao, Li Ying, Li Li, Wang Chang and Zhu Kuiqu to dedicate to the second merit, in the past, Jia Gong was the general of Xuanyi, and now the Xun is to worship him, please Jia Gong do not resign. β
It's a pity that Gao Shun is a person, in the original history, he bluntly advised Lu Bu many times, but he was jealous of Lu Bu, and transferred all the elites in his hands to Wei Xu, but even so, Gao Shun never hated, and finally gave Lu Bu a martyr. Although there are only a few words left for Gao Shun in the history books, he can fight tough battles, be honest, and be loyal (although he is foolish and loyal), which is indeed admired by Shixun. Therefore, Shi Xun was in a hurry to give Gao Shun an official title, wanting to separate his relationship with Lu Bu and find an opportunity to dig into Lu Bu's corner.
As for Jia Xu, he originally assisted Duan Xuan and became a white-clothed strategist, so naturally he didn't need to have an official position, but now that Duan Xuan is leading the troops, he sees that Duan Jiajun is about to transform into a Jia Jiajun, and it is not a big idea to say that he will not give a name - it is estimated that Jia Xu will not shirk again. And he also took advantage of this opportunity to try to pull Jia Xu to the side of the court.
Listening to Shi Xun's words at the moment, Lu Bu pouted indifferently: "Budai Gaoshun thanked you." "ββThis banquet only convened all the brains, and Gao Shun was not qualified to enter the banquet. Jia Xu hurriedly stood up and took a deep look: "Li Wei jumped to the dead rats, it is not difficult to kill them, what merit is Xu, the court will award it with a name." Although, the order of the angels, dare not disobey also. β
Yang Qiu and the others were not very happy next to them: "If there is no restraint from us, Gao Shun will have to go to the city?" Merchant...... Jia Gong'an has to behead Li Dao? Meritorious service must be rewarded, only to show the grace of the court, are we all meritless? ! β
