Jiang Wei's status is much higher than that of Su Li instantly, of course, for the time being, Jiang Wei is still subject to Zhang Bao's control, after all, Zhang Bao also has the identity of the commander of the Northern Route Army, and now he is fighting in Guanzhong, and all the troops are assigned to the Northern Route Army, which is unified under the command of Zhang Bao.

However, this is only temporary, as long as the battle in Guanzhong is over, the Ninth Division can become an independent military unit at any time, and Jiang Wei can also take charge at any time.

The reason why Liu Hou treats Jiang Wei so favorably is, of course, because he knows that Jiang Wei in history is outstanding, and his loyalty to Shu Han is also satisfactory, and at the same time, this is also a manifestation of Liu Hou's confidence in the current international situation.

The so-called international situation is the situation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, and in this situation, smart people generally choose Shu instead of the other two countries that are struggling to survive.

The soldiers of the Ninth Division also became a member of the main force directly after Jiang Wei's light this time. In the past, captured soldiers always had to go through a long period of reorganization, disrupted the establishment, and even mixed with people from other troops, and then as a baggage team, a reserve unit, and a second-line unit to maintain law and order in the rear, Zhu Bao was responsible for leading such a unit for a long time.

Only when front-line units need to replenish battle losses or expand their strength, will they be supplemented by soldiers with good performance from these units. The Hong army had never tried to reorganize a newly surrendered army into a front-line regular army at once (the Xianbei cavalry did not count). This handling of the Ninth Division can be said to be a bold attempt by Liu Hou.

These Wei troops, who had just surrendered, had not had time to reorganize, and they directly became the main division, and everyone was happy. Originally, they thought that they would be a prisoner this time and the end would be very miserable, but they didn't expect that they just changed their banners, and everything else was the same. Many people know that their future will not only not be bad, but will be better, because they have been loyal to a country that is about to collapse, and sooner or later they will become the burial objects of this country when it falls.

Now, they have become the regular army of a powerful empire rising like the rising sun, and the future is limitless. Moreover, they had also heard that in this country they had once hostile, their soldiers were treated too well to be true, at least they would never have to go hungry again.

Liu Hou's bold attempt obviously had a good effect, and the Ninth Division, from the generals to the soldiers, happily accepted the reorganization of the Hong Army, and as soon as they returned to Shun, they were extremely loyal to Shu Han and Liu Hou.

For Zhang Bao stationed a lot of troops to join the Ninth Division, for the next disruption and reorganization, for the future arduous training and complicated ideological learning process, they don't care at all, compared to the good treatment and bright future they will have, for them who are accustomed to hardships and hard work, these are just small things.

After the Xianbei cavalry set off north to the Hetao Plain, Zhang Bao did not let the other troops idle, he ordered the whole army to immediately set out of camp, send troops to Chang'an, and make a posture of going to Chang'an City and the last remnants of Wei to do the final decisive battle.

In addition to the first division and the ninth division, the previously captured reinforcements from the southern front, the tiger and leopard cavalry, the reinforcements from the eastern front, the remaining 10,000 Xianbei cavalry and Cao Hong's troops, etc., a total of about 200,000 horses, arrived outside Chang'an City and surrounded Chang'an City.

Compared with the previous lack of troops, Zhang Bao's strength doubled this time, while on the contrary, Chang'an City's troops lost the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry, and the balance of forces between the two sides quietly changed.

Now the attackers are no less than the defenders. Zhang Bao didn't think about attacking the city before, but adopted the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, but now it is different, and now Zhang Bao has the confidence to storm Chang'an City.

Of course, Zhang Bao's 200,000 horses have a lot of water, except for the loyalty of the first and ninth divisions, which is beyond doubt, the loyalty of the other horses is not reassuring, and some things cannot be relied on to do.

Although these troops have been reorganized and transformed for a period of time, and officers at all levels in the unit have been replaced with veterans of the First Division, and they have also been stationed in military units at all levels, after all, the time is still short, and whether these people can be used or not, and whether there will be chaos in the process of using them, still needs to be tested by practice.

Even in the Ninth Division, although the whole division has a high degree of loyalty to the imperial court, the reorganization of the troops will inevitably bring about a long period of discomfort, and chaos will exist for a period of time at the same time, and during this period, the combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, the overall combat effectiveness of these 200,000 horses must be discounted and discounted.

But it didn't matter, Zhang Bao didn't expect these people to charge, he just needed to let them scare people - having them outside the city would cause huge psychological pressure on the defenders in the city.

The Wei army in the city can now be sure of two things: first, all their reinforcements are gone, there will be no more reinforcements coming, and Chang'an City has become an isolated city; Second, the outside of the city was densely packed with Shu troops, and they had been besieged and died in Chang'an City by the Shu army.

And the Shu army besieging them is not ordinary, the military camps outside the city are dense, and the sheng flag covers the sky and the sun, even if they stand on the city gate tower ten zhang high (about more than 20 meters), they can't see the end of these military camps.

The barracks were crowded with people, horses neighed, and sometimes stirred up dust in the sky, which showed that these barracks were all manned, and it was by no means the enemy who set up suspicious formations and made some empty camps out to fool people.

There are so many people in the enemy! Didn't you say that the Shu army has always been expensive and not much more expensive? Wasn't there only a few tens of thousands before? Why are there so many people all of a sudden? Could it be that which defense line in the east, south, and west has collapsed, and the commander of the Shu army ~driven~straight~ into the pass?

If that's really the case, the Wei state will be about to die. To say that before, when Zhang Bao and Su Li led the troops to Chang'an City, the Wei State in Chang'an City ~ The soldiers and civilians were still lucky, and they were still looking forward to sending reinforcements on various fronts to rescue them, and now Zhang Bao came to the city again, and the soldiers and civilians in the city had completely lost confidence in Wei.

Unlike the orderly military camp outside the city, Chang'an City is now in chaos. The first to be disturbed were the troops on the city walls, because they were the first to see what was going on outside the city.

The Wei army that originally guarded Chang'an City was also a well-trained elite, and although they would panic when they saw the situation outside the city, after a long period of training, the deep reverence for military regulations still prevailed, which made them shocked but not chaotic.

But don't forget, when Zhang Bao came to the city for the first time before, the Wei court urgently requisitioned the strong men in the city, some of them urgently trained and armed, let them go to the city to assist in the defense, and some of them were responsible for carrying the materials to the city wall as the people's strongmen.

These people can also see the situation outside the city, and these are the people who are in chaos. Then, they quickly told their relatives and friends about what they saw on the city wall, and they quickly spread this panic into the city and throughout Chang'an City.
