Chapter 48: The Capture of Chang'an

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin to write a document and publish it to the world, calling on the princes to jointly crusade against Cao thieves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cao Cao gathered his troops, and while Yuan Shao had not yet entered the army, he raided Liu Bei in Xuzhou, quickly occupied Xiaopei and Xiapi, and forced Guan Yu to land. Liu Bei abandoned his family and fled to Hebei with Zhang Fei and others to join Yuan Shao.

In February, Yuan Shao marched to Liyang, and the Battle of Guandu officially began.

The two armies fought fiercely in the area of Yanjin and Baima, and Cao Cao sent Guan Yu out of battle, and finally won the victory.

After this battle, the two armies fought many times, and there were mutual injuries, and the war gradually entered a stalemate.

The time had come, and Chen Xu and others immediately launched a plan to seize Chang'an.

Chen Xu divided his troops into four routes, led by Lu Lingqi and secretly recruited 1,000 soldiers, responsible for guarding the west gate of Chang'an, which had been controlled by Chen Xu.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun each led 2,000 soldiers to kill the remaining three gates of Chang'an.

Uesugi Kenshin led the anti-Cao forces and 2,000 soldiers to quickly take control of the grain depots, arsenals and other military facilities in Chang'an City.

Chen Xu personally led 2,000 soldiers and went straight to the Taishou Mansion, preparing to capture Zhong Xuan alive.

"Kill!"

"Capture Chang'an!"

"Oh no, Yuan Shao led the army to attack Chang'an!"

There were shouts of killing everywhere in Chang'an City, all kinds of rumors were flying in the sky, and the people hid in their homes to avoid trouble.

Zhong Xuan was handling official business in the mansion when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and it seemed that there was a commotion.

He hurriedly called his subordinates and asked what was going on.

Before the subordinate could answer, a general hurriedly ran into the mansion and shouted: "It's not good, Lord Taishou, it's not good!" There were people in the city who rebelled, and the eastern, northern, and southern gates of Chang'an were in an emergency, and asked Lord Taishou to send reinforcements. ”

Zhong Xuan's heart was shocked, and the three doors were in a hurry, obviously the other party had been planning for a long time.

"What about Simon? What's going on at Simon? Zhong Miao didn't hear the news of Simon, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

The general shook his head and said, "There is no news from Simon yet. However, the West Gate is guarded by Lord Chen, so there shouldn't be any problems, right? ”

Zhong Xuan immediately said: "Send 2,000 soldiers to support Ximen, and each of the other three doors will send 1,000 soldiers to support." ”

He was now very worried about Simon's condition.

Because beyond the west gate of Chang'an, there is the territory of Ma Teng, Han Sui and the Qiang people, once they seize the west gate, Chang'an City will be in danger.

As long as the West Gate is not lost, and when the city is stabilized, the rebellion of the remaining three gates can be destroyed.

Although the generals were puzzled, they did not dare to disobey Zhong Xuan's order, and hurriedly went out to give orders.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of soldiers and armor outside the Taishou Mansion, and it was obvious that troops were rapidly approaching.

Zhong Xuan's guards immediately shouted vigilantly: "Escort team, protect Lord Zhong!" Come on, go out and see who's approaching. ”

Ping Pong.

The sound of battle rang out outside the house, and the guards outside the house had already started a battle with the other party.

Zhong Xuan was sweating profusely, and so far, he still didn't know who the enemy was.

The only thing that is certain is that the other party is very familiar with the security situation in Chang'an, and has long ambushed people and horses in Chang'an City to wait for an opportunity to attack.

"Big, grown, ...... quickly"

An officer covered in blood stumbled into the lobby, shouting intermittently, "My lord, run, Chen, Chen......"

Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground and died completely.

Old?

Chen Xu?

Zhong Xuan was horrified in his heart, did this mean that Chen Xu had rebelled, or did Chen Xu send someone to deliver urgent information?

"Come on, kill me out!" Zhong Xuan no longer hesitated, and decided to go out of the house to figure out the situation.

"Adults, no."

"The situation outside is unknown, please think twice."

Everyone persuaded hard, but Zhong Xuan's mind had been decided, so they had to protect Zhong Xuan from the house.

By this time, the sound of the fighting had faded away, and it was clear that one of the sides had won the victory.

Chen Xu smiled slightly, the defense of the Taishou Mansion was too weak, and his subordinates had cleared all the guards and controlled the entire Taishou Mansion.

Zhong Xuan came to the outside of the mansion under the protection of the guards and happened to see Chen Xu.

"General Chen, did you lead the troops to suppress the rebellion?"

Chen Xu bowed his hand, "My lord, it's dangerous outside, please go back to your house to rest." ”

Zhong Xuan had already discovered that the situation was wrong at this time, and the people who fell to the ground were basically the guards of the house, but there were almost no corpses of the rebels.

His face changed drastically, full of disbelief: "Chen Xu, are you rebelling?" ”

Chen Xu didn't answer, turned around and ordered: "Come on, send Lord Zhong back to the house to rest." If there is resistance, shoot and kill! ”

"My lord, get out of here!" The leader of the guards shouted.

Zhong Xuan sighed, "That's it, we have nowhere to escape, you all lay down your weapons, don't make senseless sacrifices." ”

After the seizure of Zhong Xuan, Chen Xu immediately wrote an order, stamped Zhong Xuan's seal, and ordered Zhang Liao to lead troops to take over Hangu Pass. If the other party resists, they will take it by force.

A few days later, Chang'an City was completely controlled by Chen Xu.

Chang'an was seized, and Guanzhong was shaken.

Chen Xu took advantage of this opportunity to send Uesugi Kenshin, Lu Lingqi, and Chen Gong to attack everywhere, and the Guanzhong region looked at the wind and surrendered.

Chang'an Taishou Mansion.

Chen Xu was discussing the next plan with Chen Gong and others.

Chen Gong believed that the top priority at the moment was to unite Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shao to jointly attack Cao Cao and divide Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places equally.

Uesugi Kenshin believed that Yuan Shao was powerful, and once Cao Cao was defeated, his power would inevitably expand rapidly, which was not conducive to their future development. Therefore, it is time to make peace with Cao Cao and let him fight Yuan Shao with all his might.

After thinking for a while, Chen Gong agreed with Qianxin's words.

Finally, after discussion, Chen Xu decided to consolidate his power first and seize the Xiliang region to the west.

……

Guandu Front.

Cao Cao, who was deliberating, suddenly received an urgent report from Chang'an, he opened it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked, and he didn't even notice that the official document in his hand fell to the ground.

"My lord?" Military advisor Guo Jia panicked for no reason.

"Haha." Cao Cao laughed, "I was a little distracted just now, which made you laugh." Come on, let's move on to the next step. ”

After the military discussion, Cao Cao left Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other strategists, and handed over the urgent report to several people with a pale face.

Hiss~~~

Several strategists took a deep breath, looked at each other a few times, and said in unison: "Lord, this news must not be spread. ”

Chang'an was seized by unknown forces, Hangu Pass fell, and the Guanzhong region was lost!

This news is tantamount to making things worse for Cao Cao's side, which is already at a disadvantage.

Once this news is learned by the soldiers and ordinary people, Cao Cao's prestige will instantly drop to the freezing point, and the common people and soldiers will definitely panic, causing an extremely bad impact.

Guo Jia's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wonderful, what a clever plan." The person who came up with this plan admired Guo Mou very much for his strategy, courage and courage. ”

No one expected that someone had prepared in advance and seized the Guanzhong area in one fell swoop while the two sides were fighting.

The Han world is rising again.
