Liu Xiu's army came to the outside of Chang'an City, and when the army arrived, the city 'gate' of Chang'an City was directly opened. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast.

The Chang'an County Order, including Jing Zhaoyin, all came.

Many officials all came out to greet Liu Xiu.

At this scene, Liu Xiu's brows furrowed.

What's going on?

His army had just arrived, and countless officials had come to greet him.

Liu Xiu doesn't believe in the spirit of a king, and if he has the spirit of a king, he is also a king. Especially in the Chang'an war, these officials, who surrendered to Guo Yan for a while, Li Dao for a while, and Cao for a while, have long been accustomed to the war, and it is impossible for Liu Xiu to be sincere as soon as he comes.

Liu Xiu glanced at everyone and said, "Who is Jing Zhaoyin?"

"My lord, in Xia Xunqiu, it's Jing Zhaoyin. ”

A middle-aged man with a clear appearance, sunken eyes, and anxious eyes walked out.

This person is Xun Qiu.

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Are you from the Yingchuan Xun family?"

"Yes!"

Xun Qiu nodded.

Liu Xiu said again: "What do you have to do with Xun Yu and Xun Yu?"

When Xun Qiu heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

You must know that Xun Yu or Xun Yu are all henchmen under Cao Cao's command. If he had been involved with them, he would have been implicated. For a while, Xun Qiu's heart was uneasy.

After thinking about it, Xun Qiu said: "Back to Liu Jingzhou, I am Xun Yu's cousin. My lord, although I am Xun Yu's cousin, I am definitely not the person arranged by Cao Cao', please be careful. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and said, "What is the situation in the city now?"

Seeking a painful and tangled face, he replied: "Cao 'Cao' had expected today's situation a long time ago, so he sent troops to move away Chang'an's food, money and equipment. Now countless officials and soldiers in Chang'an are waiting to be fed, waiting for food to fill their stomachs!"

Brush!

Liu Xiu's complexion changed dramatically.

Cao's '' move, so ruthless!

A huge Chang'an city, there are countless officials and soldiers.

To feed so many people, it is all up to Liu Xiu himself, it is definitely quite a difficult thing.

Cao 'Cao' withdrew, but left Liu Xiu with a mess.

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Xun Qiu and the others, all of whom had solemn faces, looking at Liu Xiu with blank eyes, hoping that Liu Xiu could give a solution.

At this time, Liu Xiu was already driven to the shelves and was put on the shelves.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu already understood the current situation.

Cao: '', this is on purpose!

Liu Xiu instructed: "Xun Qiu, this official has given you a task. ”

Xun Qiu said: "Please command!"

Liu Xiu said: "You immediately gather the big merchants of Chang'an City and invite them to discuss the matter. Tell them that if they don't come, the officer himself will lead the troops there. ”

"Ahh

When Xun Qiu heard this, his face showed a look of shock.

Gather big businessmen?

Xun Qiu is also a child of the Xun family, knowing the seriousness of the matter, Liu Xiu did this, and it was clear that he wanted to use the knife. If the merchants dare not come, it means that Liu Xiu will be killed.

Liu Xiu said lightly: "What, is there a problem?"

Xun Qiu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, there is no problem." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, and said, "Who is the Chang'an County Order?"

"It's down there!"

A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a majestic instrument walked out.

The middle-aged man stood in front of Liu Xiu and arched his hand: "Xiaguan Tang Min, I have seen Liu Jingzhou." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "You are very good, since you are the commander of Chang'an County, this official will give you a task to gather the noble families in the city and invite their patriarch to come outside the city." The officer was waiting for him in the camp. ”

In view of the fact that Cao 'Cao' had already emptied Chang'an City, Liu Xiu did not plan to enter the city.

The huge Chang'an, who knows what else Cao '' arranged.

Once you enter Chang'an City and are ambushed, it is not cost-effective. Liu Xiu stationed his army outside the city, which could be attacked and defended, and it was impossible to pose a threat to him around, which was the most suitable choice.

Tang Min said: "Yes, the lower officials will arrange it immediately." ”

For Liu Xiu's arrangement, Tang Min only needs to implement it, or act as a communicator.

Whether the major families come or not is not a matter for Tang Min.

Liu Xiu asked Xun Qiu and Tang Min to retreat, and then led his troops to station outside the city.

In camp!

Liu Xiu summoned Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Wen Ping and Xu Shu to discuss things together.

Liu Xiu said: "Cao 'Cao' took away all the food, money and equipment, leaving an empty city. I think this should be a step in Cao's '' plan, what do you think?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Lord, Cao's '' purpose should be two. First, let the lord know that it is difficult to retreat. Chang'an is now a mess, and the lord stays and will face many problems. Even if one is not handled well, it will be a crisis to the lord. If the lord knows the difficulty and retreats, Cao 'Cao' will naturally reoccupy Chang'an. ”

"Second, attack the lord again. If the lord wants to gain a foothold in Chang'an, then he must stay, and he must solve the problem of Chang'an. In such a situation, the grain and grass are a great test for the lord. However, the Meridian Road is narrow, and it is quite difficult to transport grain. With so many people in Chang'an City in need of relief, there will be problems with the lord's grain road. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, it will be a problem right away. ”

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a 'fine' light, and he said: "Cao's plan for '' is to wait for the lord to have a problem with grain and grass, and then attack the lord." When the time comes, Cao '' in one go, and he can even directly pass through the Meridian Valley and go south to Hanzhong. As long as Cao 'Cao' occupies the Meridian Valley, there will be no more difficulties in going south. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Cao's plan for '' should be like this." ”

Pang Tong said: "It's a pity that Cao's plan is destined to be unsuccessful. ”

Liu Xiu said, "What does Shiyuan think?"

Pang Tongzheng said: "Now we occupy Chang'an and cut off Cao's passage to the west to Liangzhou. In other words, the Cao army in Liangzhou was already a lone army, and when this news came out, it would immediately cause a storm in Liangzhou. Ma Chao and Yan Pu entered Liangzhou, and the news of Cao's defeat stirred up the 'chaos' situation, and Ma Chao was sure to succeed. Once Liangzhou is captured, Liangzhou and Chang'an are connected, plus Hanzhong, Guanzhong will be completely stabilized, and Cao 'Cao' wants to recapture Chang'an, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. Cao '' this time, the idea was good, but he wanted to calculate the lord, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a disadvantage. ”

Xu Shu pondered for a while, and also said: "Master Pang's suggestion is very good, and I also agree to immediately spread the news to Liangzhou." It's just that the lord wants to raise granaries and money from the merchants and families of Chang'an, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Rebound? Do they dare? Besides, I don't plan to enter Chang'an." As long as I don't enter, what can they do to me?"

Xu Shu said: "This is also true!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's just some merchants or families, as long as the people benefit, that's enough." ”

Several people sat together, carefully discussing the arrangements for this battle.

After confirming, Liu Xiu ordered: "Deng Zhan!"

"In!"

Deng Zhan walked in and bowed.

Liu Xiu instructed: "You immediately send Jinyi Wei to infiltrate Liangzhou and spread the news of Cao's 'Cao' army's defeat and retreat into Luoyang." Tell all the officials in Xiliang that Cao 'Cao' lost Chang'an, lost his troops, and Xiliang was already isolated. ”

"Yes!"

Deng Zhan got the order, turned around and left.

Liu Xiu waved his hand to let Jia Xu, Pang Tong and the others retreat, and sat alone in the camp and waited.

The capture of Chang'an in this battle was an unexpected gain.

With such benefits, Cao 'Cao' gave it away, and Liu Xiu was also happy in his heart.

An hour later, Xun Qiu came with the big merchants in the city. There were twelve merchants who came, and they were the largest merchants in Chang'an City, and each of them was a person with a lot of money and unparalleled wealth.

After Xun Qiu arrived, Tang Min also came with the family of Chang'an City. This time, there are many more families, and there are enough patriarchs of eighteen families.

In fact, this is because the Son of Heaven arrived in Xudu, and the officials went to Xudu. If Chang'an is still the place where the Son of Heaven is located, the family will be innumerable.

Liu Xiu received everyone in the big tent, and let the people of the family sit on the left and the merchants sit on the right.

The host and guest are seated.

looked at Liu Xiu one by one, and there was a look of apprehension in their eyes.

Liu Xiu seized Chang'an, and now everything is dominated by Liu Xiu. Once Liu Xiu really wants to 'mess up', then Chang'an City will be full of blood, and countless people will die here.

Therefore, the major families and businessmen did not dare to resist Liu Xiu.
