I only heard Emperor Ling frown, and said: "What Father and the general said is reasonable, but Zhou Shen is useless, Dong Zhuo has been defeated in the previous attack on the Yellow Turban Thieves, and I am afraid that they will not slack off." Emperor Ling pondered for a moment, unconsciously glanced at Zhang Wen, and then said: "Listen to the order, Sikong Zhang Wen is the general of the chariot cavalry, Dong Zhuo is the general of Zhonglang, transfer 20,000 troops from the Northern Army, 30,000 Yuan Pingqiang troops under Dong Zhuo, and 80,000 soldiers from the Kwantung Qing Yellow Turbans, and the three-way army into the Guanzhong, with a total of 160,000 troops from Chang'an. Che cavalry general Zhang Wen general system of the ministry, Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo, Dangkou general Zhou Shen helped, Keri dialed. ”

Zhang Wen immediately stepped out and responded: "Obey the order." Then he paused for a moment and said: "Sima Sun Jian of the other department is brave and fierce, and he has made great contributions when he cleans up the Yellow Turban, and the minister asks His Majesty to return Sun Jian's department to the ministers to fight against Qiang." ”

Emperor Ling nodded and said, "As soon as the general is a colonel, the general of the chariot cavalry can click at will, and then play it back." ”

Zhang Wen arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Ling nodded and said, "Look at the general of the chariot and cavalry to calm the disaster and guard the garden mausoleum." Okay, retreat. Then he got up and left.

The little eunuch next to him immediately said loudly: "Retreat." ”

After Emperor Deling retreated, a group of civil and military ministers got up, and after leaving the palace, they all surrounded Zhang Wen and talked.

……

After Huangfu Song returned to Chang'an, Beigong Boyu and others only looted all over Guanzhong, and did not attack Chang'an, and the news of Huangfu Song's dismissal soon came after the imperial court discussed, Huangfu Song found Zhang Xiu and said: "Boyuan, as expected, I have been removed from the imperial court, and Keri will return to Luoyang to accept the guilt." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Huangfu, with the merits of the adult's past, Your Majesty will not take the life of the adult, but will only leave the adult idle at home." ”

Huangfu Song smiled bitterly: "Song also hopes so." However, after Song left, the imperial court reinforcements did not arrive, and Chang'an had Lao Boyuan. ”

Zhang Xiu arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Chang'an is here, embroidered is here; If Chang'an is lost, Bo Yuan and Chang'an will live and die together. ”

Huangfu Song waved his hand and said: "As soon as my lord said don't say anything more, I have been dismissed, and I can trust Bo Yuan, and Chang'an City will be handed over to Bo Yuan." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded heavily.

On the second day, Huangfu Song and Zhang Xiu. Hu Zhenzhu said goodbye one by one, and then went to Luoyang alone. Zhang Xiu, on the other hand, tried his best to provoke the defense of Chang'an, running around Chang'an every day, staying on the city tower at night, and did not go home.

However, although the Qiang people knew that Huangfu Song had gone, after hearing that the defender of Chang'an was Zhang Xiu, they did not dare to provoke Zhang Xiu, but only went to Guanzhong to loot everywhere, and did not dare to attack Chang'an.

At the end of July, Dong Zhuo's army took the lead in entering Guanzhong and stationed in the cemetery. It was not until August that Zhang Wen and Zhou Shen led an army of 80,000 into Chang'an, and the remaining 20,000 troops were coming from Nanyang County through Wuguan.

As soon as he entered Chang'an City, Zhang Xiu handed over the defense of Chang'an to Zhang Wen in the west, north and east, and he led the remaining 30,000 troops of Huangfu Song to defend the south. As soon as Zhang Wen entered Chang'an, he summoned generals and prepared to raise the account three days later. In fact, most of the generals and generals are in Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo's troops are still guarding the garden mausoleum, and it takes half a day for the fast horse to arrive, so Zhang Wen gave Dong Zhuo three days to hand over important matters before coming to Chang'an to discuss matters. The 20,000 troops who were rushing in also arrived in two days, but in three days, all the generals arrived.

In the past few days, although Zhang Xiu's defensive task was not as heavy as before, he also stayed at the south gate, but he knew that the remaining 20,000 troops would arrive soon, and if he did not command at the south gate, I am afraid it would cause chaos.

Now that Zhang Wen's army arrived, Chang'an City couldn't let go of so many people, so Zhang Xiu asked Hu Zhen to lead 25,000 troops to camp outside the city, and he himself led 5,000 troops to defend the southern section of Chang'an City. Zhang Wen's army was similar, except for Zhou Shen's 20,000 elite northern army to defend the other three sections of Chang'an City, the remaining 60,000 troops were stationed outside the city.

At noon on the second day after Zhang Wen arrived, Zhang Xiu saw a large number of black spots in the southeast outside the south gate, but Zhang Xiu guessed that it should be the remaining 20,000 troops, but he did not dare to slack off, and ordered Hu Zhen outside the city to be on guard, and then he also let the troops at the city gate be on guard.

Soon, before the army in the distance arrived at the city, Zhang Xiu saw the banner of the Han army from a distance, and was obviously relieved, and the army stopped thirty miles away from Chang'an City and confronted the Hu Zhen army outside the city. Zhang Xiu knew at first sight that the leader was cautious, and he had a basis for advancing and retreating, and he should not be an unknown person.

At this time, more than ten horses rushed out of the army and rushed to Chang'an City, and Zhang Xiu ordered the left and right guards to stand alone on the city tower and wait.

The more than ten rode to the front, but Zhang Xiu saw the person holding a simple knife in his hand, wearing a red curtain, and his face was majestic. Zhang Xiu looked behind him again, but saw that there were three people who were unusual. One is dignified, holding an iron-spine snake spear; One person has an extraordinary appearance, holding an iron whip in his hand; There is another person whose whole body is tangled in muscles and muscles, holding a big knife in his hand, and he knows that his courage is extraordinary at a glance. Behind them were more than a dozen Han soldiers.

Seeing the four of them, Zhang Xiu had an understanding. At this time, I only heard the man wearing the red curtain say loudly: "Sima Sun Jian of the other department has led the army here, where is the person in charge of the city?" ”

Zhang Xiu also confirmed the identities of the two of them when he heard it, the one holding the iron spine snake spear should be Cheng Pu Cheng Demou, and the one holding the iron whip should be Huang Gai Huang Gongfu, their weapons Zhang Xiu was already familiar with before he crossed, but the muscular man Zhang Xiu couldn't guess, he didn't think of which muscular man was under Sun Jian's command.

But now is not the time to be elegant, after Sun Jian finished speaking, Zhang Xiu replied: "I am the military captain (Hu made up) Zhang Xiu, do you have a certificate?" ”

Sun Jian took out an object from his arms, raised his hand, and said, "The imperial court order is here." ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "Let's take a look." Then he ordered someone to put down the basket, and Sun Jian was not ambiguous, and ordered someone to put the thing in his hand in the basket. Take it up and look at it is a bamboo slip, Zhang Xiu unfolded a look, the bamboo slip is also wrapped in a piece of the talisman, Zhang Xiu finished reading the book of the bamboo slip and then compared the seal, and finally carefully looked at the talisman before ordering the left and right to open the city gate, and then walked down the city tower by himself.

Sun Jian and the others outside the city waited for a long time, and the big man shouted impatiently: "We are the army of the imperial court, where do we have so many rules. ”

Faced with the dissatisfaction of the big man, Sun Jian said with a smile: "If everyone is as vague as you say, if there is an enemy army to cheat the city in the future, wouldn't it be easy to take it." ”

After hearing this, the big man glared dissatisfied, and then stopped talking. At this time, the city gate opened, and Sun Jian and the others saw a young general walking out of the city. I saw a purple horse with a divine horse in his crotch, holding a spear shining with golden light, and a big bow behind him. He wore only a piece of chain mail, and did not wear a helmet, but tied his head with a crown, which was heroic and majestic.
