The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 166
Guo Jia, Ma Teng, and Han Sui joined forces, and the military command was at Guo Jia's disposal.

Han Sui had [-] soldiers and horses, Ma Teng had [-] soldiers and horses, Guo Jia left Wu Ban and Meng Da to command the remaining [-] Jinfan Army to guard the strategic location of Chencang, he only brought Zhang Liao and Wu Yi, and Zhang Liao's [-] infantry marched eastward.

In terms of military strength at this time, Han Sui had a chance of winning against Guo Jia alone, but he was not sure about Ma Teng's attitude. If Ma Teng and Guo Jia joined forces, Han Sui feared that he would die without a place to die.

Guo Jia dared to go on the road with Han Sui and Ma Teng with only [-] soldiers and horses. The reason was that he was not afraid of Han Sui and Ma Teng in terms of the overall strategy of Guanzhong. Will you send more troops to Chencang?Han Suimateng had no way of knowing.To the east of them, three generals Xu Chudian, Wei Gaoshun, who were attacking Chang'an Road, and Yan Yan who was going to attack Wuguan, these [-] soldiers and horses formed a double-team situation with Chen Cang. First of all, figure out how to break through the encirclement.

Contradictions have priorities. Before the conflict of interests between Guo Jia and Han Suimateng has really surfaced, it is imperative to eliminate the common enemy of the three of them, Li Jue and Guo Si. The situation will be over.

All three of them could see this situation clearly and tacitly understood it.

When the army set out, Guo Jia did not sit in the coach's chariot, but rode with Han Suimateng on horseback. The three warlord leaders marched side by side in armor.

"Brother Shoucheng, that one is your son Ma Chao, right Ma Mengqi?"

Guo Jia glanced at a young hero who was following behind the three of them. In this era where appearance is not an exaggeration, Ma Chao can stand out by virtue of his appearance. He is handsome and handsome, full of majesty!

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Ma Teng and his son, Ma Teng said happily after hearing the words: "Your Majesty also knows that there is Meng Qi in the world?"

With a hearty smile, Guo Jia cast an admiring look at Ma Chao, saying: "The name of Jin Ma Chao is like thunder, and brother Shoucheng has a son like Mengqi, and others are envious."

Hearing Guo Jia's praise, although Ma Chao's expression didn't fluctuate much, a smug smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Ma Teng was also proud of his son, and he said a few words of humility, but his face was quite smug.

His eyes swept over the people around Ma Chao again, and Guo Jia found that there was a young general not far from Ma Chao, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, unsmiling, and a bit majestic in his fortitude.

"Brother Shoucheng, may I ask who is that general?"

Following Guo Jia's line of sight, Ma Teng really admired Guo Jia's gaze. He recognized his son Ma Chao at first sight, and at the second sight he fell in love with his favorite general who had made many military exploits under his command.

"His name is Pang De, and his name is Ling Ming. He has made military exploits many times with me in suppressing the rebellion in Liangzhou. He is a rare hero in the world."

Guo Jia showed a clear look, bowed his hands to Pang De, and said: "You are a real hero."

Pang De didn't know why Guo Jia treated him in such a solemn way. He was a bit famous, but there were many people who were more famous than him.

After returning the gift to Guo Jia, Pang De also became curious about Guo Jia.

Guo Jia respected people like Pang De.

Although Pound was defeated by Guan Yu in history, compared with Yu Jin who was defeated together, Pound is a person who knows how to repay kindness and has integrity. How does Cao Cao treat Yu Jin?For more than ten years, he has been Cao Cao's capable and beloved general, but Yu Jin has surrendered Guan Yu. Where is Pang De?Sworn to death!
After asking Pound, Guo Jia withdrew his gaze. There were not many people under Han Suimateng's command who could make him look different. Besides, if he asked the generals under their command one by one, it would arouse suspicion between the two.

Han Sui was unwilling to be lonely, and looked at the generals of Guo Jia's camp. Whether it was the young Zhang Liao or the slightly gentle Wu Yi, they were not big-bodied generals like bears and tigers, and Han Sui couldn't see why. But he saw Jia Xu, not Jia Xu's impressive appearance, but Guo Ye who rode with Jia Xu and was protected by Jia Xu in his arms.

Guo Jia went out to fight and hit the child?

"Master, who is that child?" Han Sui became suspicious and asked.

Guo Jia said calmly without looking back: "It's my eldest son, Guo Ye. Come with me and let him learn a lot."

Not to mention Han Sui, even Ma Teng and the generals felt that Guo Jia was crazy, and there should be a limit to his unexpected behavior. Can he take care of the child when he goes to the battlefield?What if there is a discrepancy?
Apart from looking at Guo Ye curiously, the others didn't say anything.

The army slowly marched eastward, aiming at Chang'an.

Two days later, three generals Xu Chudian, Wei Gaoshun led an army of [-] soldiers to Chang'an.

The gates on all sides of Chang'an were closed tightly, and the suspension bridge over the moat was suspended, but there were no defenders at the top of the city.

There are few people in the city, the defenders are less than [-], the officials and the people are withered, and they have no combat power. The defenders in the city dare not fight, but they want to escape for fear that they will be chased and killed by the army outside the city. At a loss.

Xu Chu, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei rode their horses in front of their respective troops, discussing how to break the city.

The main bus has passed, breaking Chang'an requires a quick battle!

They have all the siege equipment, but they disagree on who will take the lead.

"It's commonplace to fall into the camp and attack the city. Zhongkang, you lead the army to build a flying bridge on the moat for my soldiers to attack the city. After they reach the bottom of the city, they can climb up the ladder and go straight to the top of the city. After opening the city gate, let you drive straight in."

The hardest battle is the vanguard, and Gao Shun has done his part to take over this job.

Dian Wei also wanted to be a vanguard, but he couldn't open his mouth because his tiger guards were all wearing heavy armor and holding long halberds.

Xu Chu patted his chest, and said to Gao Shun: "The army that is trapped in the camp is the most important thing for the lord, and it cannot be easily damaged. If there is a large army ambushing in Chang'an, and the camp is ambushed on the top of the city, wouldn't it be a heavy blow? I said, Gongxiao, you lead the army and wait to rush into the city. I will lead the army to attack the top of the city, open the city gate, and Elai will respond from the rear. His tiger guards are not as fast as me and Gongxiao's soldiers. The enemy army retreats quickly."

Gao Shun and Xu Chu were at loggerheads, Dian Wei touched his bald head and looked depressed. His tiger guards were the elite infantry. If the two armies were fighting, his tiger guards were wearing heavy armor, which could block ordinary bows and arrows. , and holding a halberd, they can advance step by step in close combat and form a solid line of defense, but soldiers in heavy armor are indeed less maneuverable.

"Two generals, can you listen to the next sentence?"

Fazheng had no choice but to come out to persuade Gao Shun and Xu Chu to stop. In the final analysis, both generals had good intentions, and they were not fighting for merit. Under the accounts of the princes, it is estimated that they all refuse each other.

Fazheng is a military adviser, a person who advises and advises. The three generals will always listen to his words. As for whether to accept them or not, it is another matter.

The three looked at Fazheng to see what he had to say.

"Li Jue and Guo Si know very well that if the Son of Heaven escapes from trouble, they will be in a desperate situation, and everyone in the world will be punished, so they must go out to chase the Son of Heaven, and ninety percent of them will not have a large army ambushing in Chang'an. , three generals, listen to me."

Fazheng looked helpless. He had just finished analyzing the situation in front of him, and the three generals seemed to be preparing to attack the city. Fazheng told them to be calm, and continued: "There will not be heavy guards in Chang'an, but we still have to be cautious. There are no defenders at the top of the city. It is very likely that there are not many defenders in the city. Seeing the army attacking at this moment, they are panicked and dying in the city. Such a Chang'an city can be outsmarted, so don't attack it by force. Three General, listen to me, order your soldiers to shout the words of persuasion to the city in unison, as long as the voice is loud enough, the frightened birds in the city will definitely let go of their last resistance."

Upon hearing this, the three generals looked at each other and nodded together.

It's easy to shout, and it doesn't cost soldiers. Even if the defenders in the city can't hold on, they can disturb the opponent's morale and momentum.

After the three generals unified the slogan of persuading surrender, they rode their horses back to the front of the soldiers they led, and conveyed the military orders layer by layer.

Raising their arms, the three generals on the left, middle and right looked at each other, and swung them down at the same time tacitly.

"People in the city listen, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will not be left behind!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who resist will not be left behind!"

……

The [-] soldiers shouted in unison, and the shouts shook the sky, soaring straight into the sky.

Just relying on the momentum, it seems that there are black clouds overwhelming the city and wanting to destroy it!
The cry of persuading surrender lasted for a stick of incense, and it was impossible for the soldiers to keep shouting.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the lifeless Chang'an City, Xu Chu patted his horse to Dianwei in the middle, pointed at Chang'an City with a long-handled sword, and said angrily, "I will lead the army to the top of the city."

Fazheng had no objection, Dianwei agreed, and Gao Shun stopped arguing, any further arguing now would be a mistake.

Just as Xu Chu turned his head to give the order to attack the city, Fazheng shouted to him, "Wait a minute, general. Look!"

Following the direction of Fazheng's finger, a banner was erected on the top of Chang'an City.

Creaking, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was opened from the inside of the city. Looking from a distance, only a few figures were seen walking around the streets in the city. The main road inside the city gate was desolate.

"Surrender early and it's over." Xu Chu led the army and was about to enter the city, Fazheng led his horse over to remind him to be careful of fraud in the city.

Xu Chu led the army into the city slowly, and first checked the situation in the city. After half an hour, Xu Chu sent someone to explain that there was no ambush in the city.

Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Fa Zheng were relieved to lead their troops into the city.

Riding a horse into the city, Fazheng couldn't help frowning. There were less than 3000 surrendered defenders kneeling on both sides of the road.

The scene in the city is not only bleak and desolate, but even the air smells rancid. The rooms are empty, the houses have only four walls, and the money, food and supplies have been swept away. There are even many rotten streets and streets in the city. dead body!

Is this still Chang'an City, the western capital of the Great Han Dynasty? !

Fazheng is not someone who has never seen dead bodies. When he followed Guo Jia to bury Lu Bu's [-] troops, he had seen corpses all over the ground and blood flowing into rivers.

However, not only was there a stench in Chang'an, but there were also rotting corpses everywhere, and there were countless disgusting maggots, which made him want to vomit several times.

"Three generals, first order the soldiers to clean the streets. Burn all the corpses. Soldiers try not to touch these corpses. Burn all used brooms and tools. There may be dead bodies in the houses in the city, and they must be disposed of in time. "

Fazheng had expected the chaotic situation in Chang'an, but he didn't expect that he would be caught off guard. Chang'an City like this is the best breeding ground for plague.
