Chapter 320: Feint

The genius was bright, and all the officers gathered around Murong Shaozong were waiting with bated breath.

It's the middle of winter, but many people are so nervous that their palms are covered with sweat, and everyone knows what kind of big things they will do next.

Of course, after eating the rice grain of the Western Wei Dynasty for three years, there are also people who excuse themselves in their hearts: Yuwentai expelled them from the military camp before the battle, and clearly did not treat them as his own people, so how could he blame them for rebellion.

The morning bell on the head of Zicheng City rang, and everyone looked at Murong Shaozong, which was the signal they had agreed on.

Murong Shaozong said in a deep voice:

"All the monarchs will lead their own troops, go to the arsenal of Zicheng, and seize the weapons with me!"

At the sound of the order, all the officers agreed one after another and went out.

The troops in the city gathered, followed Murong Shaozong and rushed straight to the arsenal, and when he heard the news, the defenders of Chang'an Zicheng, who led the defenders to resist, angrily reprimanded the soldiers:

"In the past three years, the prime minister has never failed you and others, why is he doing such an unrighteous thing today!"

Many of the soldiers looked ashamed, after all, they had eaten rice grain for three years in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Yuwentai had not treated their group of six towns and township parties harshly.

The person who previously exonerated himself threatened:

"Yuwentai expelled us in battle, and he regarded us as outsiders, so what's wrong with us returning to the Eastern Army!"

The defender had to say a few more words, but the sound of breaking the air sounded, and the arrow from the string missed through his throat.

Murong Shaozong put down his strong bow and shouted at the defenders:

"Yuwentai was defeated and died on the front line, and the 200,000 troops of the Gao clan are rushing to Chang'an.

How do these big-headed soldiers know what the battle situation on the front line is like, they were so frightened by Murong Shaozong, they really thought that the Western Wei army was defeated on the front line, and they fled one after another, Murong Shaozong relied on the arsenal to organize an army of nearly 10,000 people, and easily captured Zicheng.

After leaving a thousand people to garrison, Murong Shaozong quickly led the army to Chang'an, but it was still a step too late, and Taiwei Wang Meng, Zhou Huida and others had already learned the news and closed the city to defend themselves.

Murong Shaozong gave up the capture of Chang'an in the absence of siege equipment, and he followed Gao Cheng's instructions to immediately wreak havoc on the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

Previously, Dou Tai led the army to preach everywhere that he had committed no crime with Minqiu, but at this time, it became an empty talk.

Of course, Gao Cheng will naturally make up for it afterwards: what does the Western Wei rebels have to do with him in the Eastern Wei, everything must be reasonable, and the rules of the Eastern Wei Dynasty cannot be used to restrain the rebels of the Western Wei Dynasty.

This group of soldiers who have been trapped in the pass for three years may not be as effective as in the past, but they are still good at sabotage.

Wang Meng, Zhou Huida and others, who stayed in Chang'an, stood on the city wall, watching the fires break out everywhere outside the city, crying endlessly, but they were cold-hearted and never willing to go out of the city to rescue.

No one knows how many rebels are outside the city now, rashly going out of the city to fight, once lost, Chang'an will be taken by its victory, and no one can bear this responsibility.

As for the rebels everywhere spreading the news of Yuwentai's defeat and death on the front line, they can only scare those ignorant big-headed soldiers, and they can't deceive them, after all, this group of rebels can receive the news, and it is impossible for Wang Meng, Zhou Huida and others to know nothing.

"Has the Captain ever ordered the messenger to keep it secret and only inform the Prime Minister alone?"

Zhou Huida asked Xiang Taiwei Wang Meng, who was also worried that the news of the chaos in the rear would reach the front-line army and shake the morale of the army.

Wang Meng is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he reassured:

"Servant shooting, please rest assured, the alliance has already explained."

If the Eastern Wei army had not entered the customs, perhaps the two would immediately lead the Son of Heaven and Yuwentai's family out of Tunlong Mountain or Weibei to avoid the rebels' edge, after all, the gentleman did not set up a dangerous wall, just wait for Yuwentai to return to the division, and the rebellion could be easily quelled.

But now the situation is different, the Eastern Wei army entered the pass, and Yuwentai in Weishui stalemate, if they fled, the news of the fall of Chang'an spread to the army, it will inevitably be chaotic.

Just as the two were looking at the city wall, another messenger boarded the city wall to inform them of the news of the fall of Xianyang, and it was Yu Fude, a native of Yongzhou, who responded to the rebels and attacked and occupied the city.

But at this time, they couldn't take care of Xianyang, Zhou Huida and Wang Meng made a good calculation, and immediately ordered to recruit Ding Zhuang in Chang'an City to help defend the city.

However, Murong Shaozong saw that the surprise attack could not be successful, and he had no idea of attacking Chang'an City for a long time.

He led a group of rebels and coerced people, all the way to the east to attack the place, that is, to force the people to flee eastward, it is best to run to the Yuwentai army to cry about their atrocities, and bring the news of the turmoil in Guanzhong to the front line, which is the purpose of Gao Cheng's instigation of the rebellion.

Yuwentai learned the news on the second day, and the messenger gave Wang Meng's order, and kept his mouth shut all the way, until he saw Yuwentai before he informed the news of the rebellion, and Yuwentai immediately raised the account and summoned the generals to discuss.

Hearing that the soldiers occupied the sub-city to make a rebellion, all the generals were in an uproar, and they all went to the rescue of Yuwentai, relying on Chang'an Jiancheng to deal with the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

But Yu Wentai categorically refused, he said:

"No, for the sake of today, you should fight with the Gao clan quickly."

Zhao Gui was puzzled:

"The thieves can't hold the camp and can't come out, how can we fight with it."

Yu Wentai pulled out his sword, pointed at the map, gritted his teeth and said:

"Attack it and save it."

Everyone looked towards the point of the sword, but it was Kasaka.

Yuwentai seems to have the idea of changing his family, Pusaka is related to the retreat of the Eastern Wei army, if he occupies Puban, he can go east through the pontoon bridge, just do a rogue burning, killing and looting, can make most of the Kanto region become scorched earth.

Not to mention the 200,000 Hu Xi expedition, Hedong fell into an unprecedented emptiness, once the river was crossed, the pontoon bridge was burned, and the Hedong was captured, and because the 100,000 troops of Hebei went south, they could help defend Henan, and they could also take advantage of the situation to take Hebei.

As for the family scroll stranded in Chang'an, I can't take care of it at this time, and it's not that no one has taken Gao as a prisoner.

What's more, Yuwentai's move is not really to go east, but to force the Eastern Wei Dynasty to fight with him, if the Gao family's father and son really only have the West in their eyes, he Yuwentai really doesn't mind changing homes with the other party.

In exchange for a dilapidated Guanlong land, in exchange for rich Hedong and Hebei, this deal can be done.

As for the issue of food, as a necessary place for logistics and transshipment in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Pusaka soldiers were not short of food, not to mention that after crossing the river, countless city treasury was waiting for them to get it.

The decision to rush to Pusaka was quickly passed among the Western Wei generals, and in the case of chaos in the rear and a dilemma on the front, this was indeed the only way to force the Eastern Wei to fight a decisive battle with it.

The generals retired one after another, returned to the army to prepare for the eastward advance, Yuwentai found Xiao Ji again, and he did not hide it from the other party, and told the plan and plan to save the enemy.

Now that Chang'an is in turmoil and the way back is blocked, Xiao Ji also knows that only by defeating the Eastern Wei Dynasty on the frontal battlefield with Yuwentai can he have a chance to live, and agreed to the plan of attacking Pusaka with him on the spot and fighting a decisive battle with the Gao family.
