Chapter 153 Garrisoning the Street Pavilion
Garrison Street Pavilion
"Lie Ying!" Wei Yan shouted.

"The last general is here!" A man with the appearance of a general stood up from the ranks of generals, clasped his fists and said,
"From now on, the city gates of Chang'an will be closed tightly, and those who do not have my token will not be allowed to pass through, and the gates of each city will be guarded to prevent the Wei army from suddenly attacking;" Wei Yan said in a deep voice.From now on, their situation has been reversed. A moment ago, they were the attacking side, but at this moment they suddenly became the defenders.

The rest of the people in the hall kept looking at Lie Ying, as if they were judging whether he could hold the city.Everyone in the hall knew that Chang'an was about to face the Wei army's counterattack, and the Han army only had this isolated city. Even though it was the capital of the Han Dynasty when the Han Dynasty was established, it was also crumbling in the face of the Wei army's crazy counterattack.

The only turning point is that the Han army in Longyou can arrive before the fall of Chang'an City, otherwise everything will be settled.

"Which of you are soldiers?" After Lie Ying left, Wei Yan continued to call.

"Return to the general! The next official is right." Among the demoted officials, an official who looked a little fat and a bit lazy stood up and replied with some worry.

"Since you are a soldier, you must be familiar with the recruitment of soldiers in the city; I will give you three days to prepare [-] troops for backup; I will work hard for you in these three days. As for the family, I will arrange someone to take care of it, and you don't need to." Worried." Wei Yan said slowly, the meaning contained in it was also mixed with this knife that kills without blood.

Bing Cao thought for a moment; it seemed a bit difficult to accept, but he didn't know how to say no. "Officer, take orders!" Bing Cao responded, although he didn't have much skill, he got into the position of Bing Cao only because of his connections; but observing his words and demeanor, he had practiced a lot in the past few years, and Wei Yan's tone when he gave himself the order just now , I have already decided that I can't have any objection or evasion, otherwise, behind the next sentence, the head will fall.

"The rest of you, if you have extra family soldiers in your mansion, I hope you can lend them to me for a while, 200 people per family is suitable!" Wei Yan said in a deep voice, without any emotion in his voice, facing the people in front of him , He also knew very well in his heart that they would only obey orders when they saw the strength of the Han army. If they didn't seize the opportunity to weaken their strength now, they might not surrender like this when the Wei army surrounded the city.Once they are allowed to seize the opportunity, it will be a fatal blow to Chang'an City.

"Reporting to the general, there are indeed no family soldiers in the lower official's mansion, only some servants waiting for others." An official with the appearance of a civil servant stood up and said with fists clasped.

"Since there are no family soldiers, you will replace them." Wei Yan shouted loudly.The tiger stared straight at the official like a hungry wolf.

The civil official was stunned suddenly, he didn't expect Wei Yan to treat the officials who had surrendered like this, not only the conditions were harsh, but he didn't even have a good face.

"No" Although Wei Yan has been scolded thousands of times in his heart, there is only a promise.

Civil officials in the Han Dynasty were Confucian scholars, but they were not as weak as the civil officials in later dynasties. Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty had to learn the six arts, rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics; The soldiers are weak, and they may have to go up a tower in archery.

In a hotel in General Anxi's Mansion, Zhuge Qiao found a bedroom under the leadership of soldiers, and fell on the bed as soon as he went in; he didn't sleep all night last night, and a large-scale military operation was carried out all night, even Life is at stake; now that the city has finally quieted down, it's better to wait if you don't sleep at this time.

As for the defense of Zhuge Qiao in the city, he doesn't have any strategy now. Although he has been in this era for three years and has read some military books and strategies, his ability in this area is not worth mentioning compared with Wei Yan.What's more, the Wei army's army is still fighting with its own army, and even if it withdraws, it will take a while.Jingzhao County is the closest to Chang'an, but most of the elite soldiers in Yongzhou have been taken away by Guo Huai. Jingzhao County can only protect itself, and there is no way to attack the city.

Jieting; Zhang Yi and Deng Ai led 3 troops, including [-] Jingzhou troops, [-] Ji Han troops, and [-] Liannu soldiers; The open area about ten miles long and as long as thirty miles long is the throat of Guanlong.The location of Jieting is a strategic place with an open river valley, extending in all directions, and dangerous mountains in the north and south. It can be attacked in advance and defended in retreat.

There is another city in the northeast of Jieting, named Lieliu City; these two places echo each other, and Guanzhong is the main throat leading to Hanzhong.

"Shizai, I'm building a stronghold in Jieting, and you go to Lieliu City to garrison troops. You and I are each other's horns; how about it." Zhang Yi said.Before setting off, Zhuge Liang had informed Zhang Yi and Deng Ai of the terrain of Jieting and the strategy of how to defend against the enemy.

"That's great!" Deng Ai responded.

"Since this is the case, Shizai can immediately lead [-] troops to garrison Lieliu City, and just leave it to me to build the fortress!" Zhang Yi ordered.

"Leave it alone!" Deng Ai responded.

"Success or failure depends on the battle at Jieting. Shi Zai must act carefully!" Zhang Yi said; facing the person in front of him who is only in his twenties and younger than himself, he is still a little worried. The prime minister recommended him, and he was also a student of the prime minister, how dare Zhang Yi let him be his deputy.

"Brother Bogong, when the army of the Wei army arrives, they must first attack Jieting and then descend to Liucheng. Brother Bogong needs to use Liannumen again to prevent the cavalry from the Wei army from raiding. As for Lieliucheng, brother Bogong can rest assured!" Deng Ai saw Zhang Yi Cautiously reminding himself, he couldn't help but respond.

"Oh! How did Shizai see that Wei Junbi first attacked Jieting and then took Lieliu City." Zhang Yi asked a little puzzled;

"Because they are in a hurry! If you capture Jieting, you will be able to drive straight in, but the capture of Xialiu City will only cause our army to lose a city that is durable," Deng Ai replied lightly.

Zhang Yi didn't seem to be as calm as Deng Ai. Just a moment ago, he reminded him to be careful, and he only had one sentence; It also made me feel at ease, at least Lieliu City would not be my drag.

After Deng Ai led the army to leave, Zhang Yi issued the military order to build a stronghold, and the army began to get busy.

So far, the Han army has captured the four counties of Longyou, Tianshui County, Nan'an County, Anding County, and Guangwei County.Among the four counties, except for the Guangwei army attacking the city with a large army, the other three counties were all on the lookout.As for the last Longxi County, it is still in a stalemate, and it is only a question of the last time whether to surrender or not.
