Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Two Ways Army

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, which is the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year. The term "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in "Zhou Li". According to the ancient calendar of our country, there are four seasons in a year, three months in each quarter, which are called the three parts of Mengyue, Zhongyue and Jiyue, so the second month of autumn is called Mid-autumn, and because of the 15th day of August of the lunar calendar, in the middle of August, it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

Legend has it that the ugly girl of the ancient Qi country had no salt, and when she was a child, she worshiped the moon devoutly, and when she grew up, she entered the palace with a group of virtues, but she was not favored. On August 15 of a certain year, the Son of Heaven saw her in the moonlight, thought she was beautiful and outstanding, and later made her the queen, and the Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship came from this. Chang'e in the moon is known for her beauty, so the girl worships the moon and wishes to "look like Chang'e, face like the moon".

On this special day, both the defenders of Chang'an and the rebels outside the city invariably stopped the pace of attack and spent this traditional festival.

It's just that the defenders of Chang'an don't know that in a few dozen miles, an elite army marches at an alarming degree.

"Lord Qi, Chang'an is thirty miles ahead. Wei Zheng, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at Chang'an City looming in the distance, woke up Zhang Xiao a little helplessly, and then said.

This kind of thing that offends the lord is usually pushed on Wei Zheng.

"It's here, it's fast. After hearing this, Zhang Xiao, who was sitting on the horse, as if he had dozed off, slowly "woke up".

Along the way, Zhang Xiao closed his eyes not because he wanted to sit on the horse and sleep, but because he kept thinking about martial arts to improve his strength level.

Although it is said that Zhang Xiao's current strength can barely beat Xiong Kuohai, if he really fights to the death, he can even escape with his life under a grandmaster-level powerhouse like Xiong Kuohai.

But this is only to be able to deal with a thick-skinned grandmaster-level powerhouse like Xiong Kuohai, if you encounter a "degree-type" grandmaster-level powerhouse, it is still a dead end.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao tried his best to improve his strength.

After all, if Chang'an was defeated together, but someone stabbed him to death, it would become a laughing stock.

Although the number of grandmaster-level powerhouses in the world is not much, the Sui Dynasty royal family can control even less, and most of them either defend Jiangdong, or fight to the death with Yang Xuangan in Luoyang, or fight with the sword master Fu Cailin in the army of Emperor Yang of Sui, there must not be many left in Chang'an City, and there may not even be one.

Grandmaster-level powerhouses are not terrible in war, and even if they encounter a rabble of 3,000 people, they are in danger of dying. If you encounter an elite army of 100 people and armed with strong bows and crossbows, you may not even be able to escape.

However, not being able to win the frontal battlefield does not mean that the "side battlefield" cannot be won.

How terrible is a grandmaster-level "assassin" who is out of the way, Zhang Xiao really doesn't want to try it.

Although Zhang Xiao had Xiong Kuohai, a grandmaster-level powerhouse, as his personal bodyguard, Zhang Xiao did not have much confidence that he would survive when he really encountered a grandmaster-level assassin.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao seized the time to improve his strength.

Zhang Xiao's current true qi is not weak, and his moves also have the unique technique of "Heavenly Evil Palm", but the weakest is actually his state of mind.

Imagining the battle with Bai Qing'er, Zhang Xiao was a little weak-hearted, although it was not a big problem to say that the evil fire was a little prosperous, but when it reached an irrational situation, it was absolutely abnormal.

Fortunately, Bai Qing'er is not a sonic wave, and she will not know the sonic power of the cholera mind of "Heavenly Demon Sound", otherwise Bai Qing'er would not have been defeated lightly without waiting for Zhang Xiao to use "Entering the Evil".

Therefore, Zhang Xiao knew that his top priority was to comprehend a set of his own mental methods.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao has not been idle all the way, and has been thinking about what his mental method is.

It's a pity that Zhang Xiao racked his brains and failed to completely form his own mental method, there was still a thin line between them, and he couldn't break through.

According to Buddhism, Zhang Xiao is in a miasma of trouble.

Since these two kinds of confusion cannot be broken, it is the obstacle of these two confusions that prevents the scholar from getting rid of the suffering of birth and death in the Three Realms, and this is the obstacle of disturbing emotions.

In other words, if you want to comprehend the mental method, the minimum requirement is to see the mind, but some doubts in Zhang Xiao's heart cannot be solved, and there is no way to see the mind clearly.

Zhang Xiao rubbed his temples with a headache, knowing that although he seemed to be a little worse, he could actually be said to be a thousand miles wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart.

"Is there any problem?" Zhang Xiao finally turned back to his senses completely, and looked at Wei Zheng.

"Lord Qiqi, let's discuss it and consider whether to join Bai Wenyuan's army first, or attack Chang'an City directly from the secret passage, but I don't know what the lord wants. Wei Zheng said almost expressionlessly, without joy or sadness.

"Lao Bi, what do you say? Zhang Xiao directly threw this question to Bi Tai.

"In my opinion, it's better not to converge-------。 Berthai pondered for a moment, and then gushed out a reason.

"Alright, alright, I see, Luoyan, what do you think. Zhang Xiao knew that Bi Tai would become endless as soon as he spoke, so he turned around and asked Shen Luoyan.

After all, in the military, his beloved wife has the most right to speak.

Seeing Zhang Xiao asking Shen Luoyan, Wei Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, and then quickly relaxed.

In these days in Tongguan, Shen Luoyan has proven his ability, and Wei Zheng also knows that if it is not, no one can stand out.

Shen Luoyan almost didn't think about it, and said, "Naturally, I entered the secret passage directly, Bai Wenyuan still has the ability to lead the troops, and there will be no problems." ”

Zhang Xiao has a bottom in his heart.

Finally, he asked Du Ruhui, who was dressed in military uniform, "Keming, how can you see it?"

Du Ruhui), the word Keming, Han nationality, Jingzhao Duling people, Du Ruhui has been intelligent since he was young, good at talking about literature and history, and is a typical polite scholar. During the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as an alternate official, he only made up a petty official of Fuyang Wei, and soon abandoned the official and went home.

Later, at the strong invitation of Zhang Xiao and the ** of the official position, he became Zhang Xiao's mastermind.

As the so-called "Fang Mou Du Judgment", Du Ruhui's decision-making ability is the top level in the world, and Zhang Xiao naturally wants to ask about it.

"Enter the secret passage. "Du Ruhui has always cherished words like gold.

Since Du Ruhui said so, then there was nothing to think about, and Zhang Xiao's army entered one by one from the secret entrance of Yang Gong's treasure.

The attack on Chang'an was divided into two parts, one was about 150,000 or so presided over by Bai Wenyuan, assisted by Li Liang and others, and waved 130,000 troops to storm Chang'an.

The other part was led by Zhang Xiao and led the 15,000 Guards Army, and the Yang Gong Treasury attacked Chang'an from the inside.

Although there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, the combat effectiveness cannot be separated by just looking at the numbers.

The 15,000 guards under Zhang Xiao, all the soldiers and soldiers are strong, and they are all fully supported in terms of diet, not to mention that every meal is full, and there can even be some meat. Wu Chang and Shi Chang were both soldiers who surrendered in the Sui Dynasty, and the centurion and Qianshu were all taught martial arts and knowledge by Zhang Xiaozi and the head of the sect, and sometimes even taught them personally.

Not to mention anything else, the 15,000 Guards were divided into three small armies of 5,000 people, which were led by Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Liang, and Wang Junkuo, three generals with commanding talents.

Judging from the generals alone, I know that Zhang Xiao has spared no expense to build this soldier and horse into an ace army.

Zhang Xiao knows one thing, that is, if his lineage is not strong, then there will inevitably be endless troubles.

After all, Zhang Xiao doesn't have any relatives.

Although the Guards said that because the army was still short, the military posture was crooked, and even the simplest walk in unison could cause many forks. But at least with the appearance and rules, most of them can be honest under the threat of Zhang Xiao's "Seven Killings Order", and the weapons in their hands are all high-grade products carried out from Yang Gong's treasure house.

As for the army led by Bai Wenyuan, except for the more than 60,000 people in the headquarters, there is still a bit of appearance, not to mention anything else, the weapons can at least be barely gathered. But the men and horses of the allies are indeed a real rabble, chaotic, unorganized, and simply a rabble.

This is because Zhang Xiao is prohibiting it with all his might, but unfortunately, the mud can't support the wall, and Zhang Xiao can only make the people of the headquarters led by Bai Wenyuan not so unbearable.

Of course, if this group of rabble is really the kind of elite soldiers that make Zhang Xiao jaw-dropping, then Zhang Xiao will be even more uneasy.

The outside is a feint, and Zhang Xiao's army is the main attack.

Although after the capture of Tongguan, Chang'an became nervous and began to recall the soldiers and horses from all over the place, but because most of the soldiers went to support Luoyang, there are now only more than 30,000.

Although Zhang Xiao knew that the elite of his soldiers and horses might not be as good as the defenders of Chang'an City, on the night of August 15, it was indeed possible to break through the palace in one fell swoop.

If the palace is breached, then the army guarding Chang'an will become a group of dragons, and it will only be cut by Zhang Xiaozai at that time.

Today is August 15, and the moon is exceptionally round.
