Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Fall of Chang'an
When Lu Bu came to the east gate of Chang'an, he saw countless rebellious people near the east gate, wanting to open the city gate.
It is better under the rule of Lu Bu or under the rule of the imperial court, and the people naturally understand.
But when these people saw that Lu Bu had arrived, they hurriedly began to flee, and they were almost running away in just a moment.
Although the people wanted to return to the rule of the imperial court, they were still afraid in their hearts when they saw Lu Bu coming.
As soon as Lu Bu lifted the rebellion at the East Gate, he saw Gao Shun walking from the other side covered in blood.
Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu was there, and stepped forward to salute Lu Bu and said.
"General, the rebellion in the west of the city has been suppressed."
A few simple words, but with the blood all over his body, you can see that this suppression is only extremely bloody.
Lu Bu nodded, wanting to find someone to discuss what to do next, but found that Gao Shun was the only one who could discuss with him.
"Pepin, what should we do now?"
Now that the army has been newly defeated, and the people of Chang'an City are not attached, it may not be the best policy to stick to Chang'an.
Gao Shun thought for a moment and then spoke.
"The last general has gathered more than 10,000 remnants, and although he has held Chang'an for a while, the city will be lost as soon as the imperial army arrives."
Lu Bu had already thought of this situation, but he still had luck in his heart, and when Gao Shun really said this, the luck in Lu Bu's heart disappeared.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu gathered the original Xiliang soldiers, and these soldiers only had more than 3,000 people.
At this time, it was already dark, although it was dark, but Lu Bu could even see many soldiers of the imperial court chasing deserters under the city wall on the city wall.
Lu Bu's headquarters actually didn't have many soldiers and horses, only more than 30,000 people, and now there are only 5,000 left, and more of them are the remnants of Xiliang that he collected.
Going out of the city to fight is naturally to put your own people in the city to defend the city, and no one will use troops to defend their base camp, which is simply looking for death.
After gathering these remnants of Xiliang, Lu Bu spoke in the light of torches.
"Before the war, General Zhang Yang has sent a letter and Zhang Yang, General Zhang Yang has sent troops since five days ago, just sent a letter back to me, and he will be able to Chang'an tomorrow, so you soldiers only need to guard the east gate for one night, and the reward will be a thousand gold!"
There were no extra words, and several soldiers randomly took out a box from the countless boxes behind Lu Bu, carrying a box, and under Lu Bu's signal, they were carried out and poured in front of many Xiliang soldiers.
Inside the chest are gold, silver, and various jewels, which radiate a dazzling brilliance under the light of torches.
These Xiliang soldiers had just been defeated during the day, and their morale was extremely low, but under the stimulus of money, they began to rebound.
The leader was a little incredulous and spoke.
"Is what the general said true? General Zhang Yang is coming tomorrow? A reward for a one-night vigil? ”
Seeing that Hu Che'er didn't believe it, Lu Bu swore and said.
"The general has nothing to say, if General Tiger doesn't believe it, the general's flag is here, and the daughter is also here, and General Hu can come early tomorrow morning to get it!"
Zhang Yang is a native of Hanoi County, and he has always dealt with Lu Bu, and he can even be said to be Lu Bu's iron buddy.
One of the two is the master of Ding Yuan's account, and the other is Wu Ji, and they have been dealing with each other since they were young.
In the original plot, Zhang Yang died to save Lu Bu, and it can be said that he is one of the few friends of Lu Bu.
Now Zhang Yang has already divided Hanoi County, and he has control over the annexed state.
If Zhang Yang really came to the rescue, it would not take much, only 30,000 troops would be needed to hold Chang'an City.
The leader of the general thought for a while and gritted his teeth.
"General rest assured!"
This general is the original Xiliang Army, Zhang Ji's subordinate Hu Che'er.
Hu Che'er was originally Zhang Ji's partial general, but that night Lin Mu killed Dong Zhuo, and after Zhang Ji saw Lin Mu's bravery, he began to run away.
At that time, Hu Che'er was not in the city at all, and when he knew that Dong Zhuo was dead and Zhang Ji had run away, the sky was already bright, and many Xiliang soldiers had already begun to flee.
Hu Che'er could only start to run away, and I have to say that this person has the talent to run.
After running all night, he caught up with Lu Bu, who had been running since last night.
Lu Bu saw that Hu Che'er was brave, so he accepted him as his general.
Hu Che'er participated in the daytime battle, but the big war was together, tens of thousands of people were strangled together, how did he know which was the Son of Heaven and which was someone else.
But fortunately, he has the talent to run, even if the army is defeated, he also runs back to Chang'an City from the chaos.
Hu Che'er glanced at the boxes stacked high behind Lu Bu, gritted his teeth and returned to the city wall with his weapon.
When the three thousand Xiliang soldiers saw Hu Che'er returning to the city wall, they followed behind Hu Che'er.
The wealth is moving, you only need to guard the east gate for one night, and you can receive a thousand gold during the day, which is such a rich reward.
Seeing that Hu Che'er returned to the east gate with his soldiers, Lu Bu hurriedly ordered the army to put up the Shuai Banner and illuminate the Shuai Flag with a fire.
This makes it possible to see this handsome flag even on the city wall in the blink of an eye.
Hu Che'er and the others looked out of the city with full energy, they only needed to keep this night down, and the daughter would be in hand.
However, the imaginary battle did not happen, and even under the city of Chang'an, there was not a single soldier of the imperial court, and Hu Che'er was about to fall asleep leaning against the city wall.
Until dawn, no one climbed the walls.
Although there was no fighting, Hu Che'er didn't care so much.
But whether anyone comes or not, this reward will be given.
Hu Che'er got off the city wall and ran towards Shuai Qi, and the torches under Shuai Qi were about to burn out.
The desire for treasure made Hu Che'er not notice, and none of the guards of the Shuai Mansion were there.
Hu Che'er stepped into the Shuai Mansion quickly, but found that there was no one here.
Lu Bu and Gao Shun didn't know where they had gone for a long time.
The chest full of treasure on the ground had long since disappeared, and only a few dozen large boxes were left to be thrown aside.
Hu Che'er opened a box and found that it contained stones and dirt.
Then he opened a box, and there was broken wood inside.
"This ......"
Only then did Hu Che'er realize that he had been deceived, and at this time, the other soldiers had also come to the Shuaifu......
What is publicized for reinforcements, and what is rewarded with thousands of gold, they are all fake.
Lu Bu thought of escaping at the beginning, but if he escaped alone, even if he escaped, what could he do, he could only be a slave to others.
Therefore, Lu Bu didn't think about defending the city at all.
"Your Majesty, the gate of Chang'an City is open."
Lin Mu was having breakfast, but he didn't expect Hua Xiong to bring him such news.
Lin Mu put down the meat in his hand.
"Lu Bu is going down? Will there be fraud? ”
"Probably not."
"Why?"
"Because I saw those soldiers throwing dung on Lu Bu's handsome banner......"
