Chapter 46 Chang'an Raiders (1)
Huang Shang's eyes fell on the thin scholar behind him, and nodded, "It turns out to be Jia Xu, that's a big wonder. I've heard that Jia Wenhe is talented and knowledgeable, and when he sees him today, he is indeed well-deserved!"
Jia Xu was surprised in his heart: "What does it mean to be 'high talent and 10 knowledgeable cars'?" He bowed and smiled: "It is really a blessing for Jia to be praised by Shangshu Huang. Shangshu Huang has fallen into the Jedi, but what other tricks are there?"
Huang Shang looked up at the sky and said, "You can't imagine my trick! Listen, what's the sound outside the city?"
Everyone listened with their ears, and only a sound of horse hooves came from afar. Further to the distance, there were faint shouts and footsteps of the army moving forward.
A sergeant on the city wall shouted: "General, there are soldiers outside, and they are under the banner of "Han"!"
Li Jue's face changed and he shouted, "That's Han Sui! He ordered the troops to be transferred and the city wall was guarded by me!"
Jia Xu stared at Huang Shang's face with his little eyes and said slowly: "The city walls of Chang'an are thick and deep. Even if the soldiers and horses of Xiliang attacked the city with all their might, they would not be able to be killed in three or five months. At that time, Huang Shangshu's body might have rotted!"
Huang Shangxin said, "Little thing! Wait for me to rot? You are all rotten, but my body cannot rot!" He smiled on his face, "How did Jia Wenhe know that the Xiliang Army cannot defeat the city? You can wait for a moment and you will be shocked!"
Li Jue was curious and smiled and said, "You guy, you are so interesting. I'll see what tricks you have!"
While speaking, more than 3,000 cavalrymen who followed Huang Shang had already rushed to the outside of the city, pointing at the soldiers on the top of the city and cursing, asking them to leave the city and fight to the death.
Li Jue heard the scolding from afar, his face gradually turned red, and he said angrily: "Put down the suspension bridge, I'll go out of the city to kill them all!"
Jia Xu advised: "The general has an important responsibility, so he should cherish himself and put the great affairs of the Taishi first in everything!"
Li Jue suddenly realized, so he asked the soldiers to close the city gates, sent infantry and archers to guard the city, and ordered people to tie up the more than a hundred cavalry brought by Huang Shang and dragged them aside.
Huang Shang didn't care when he saw that the soldiers he brought were tied up. Anyway, they were all the Shaanxi cavalry who surrendered with Hu Chier, and it was not the first time he was captured. He jumped off the horse and let the wild horse he rode be led away. He stood on the street and shook his head and smiled. The unfathomable smile made Li Jue even more curious and uneasy, not knowing that he had any tricks.
Fan Chou frowned and ordered Huang Shang to be covered with heavy troops, all with a long spear with a flashing cold light to see where he could escape.
There were sharp guns around him, but Huang Shang didn't care at all and kept twisting his beard and smiling.
Soon, Han Sui led his army to the outside of the city to set up a formation, but did not attack the city. He just sent people to the city to shout loudly, and sent more than 10,000 cavalry to wait in front of the city, as if he was about to rely on cavalry to rush into the city.
Li Jue stood on the street and heard the soldiers on the top of the city telling the situation outside the city. He was surprised and asked, "That boy named Huang, is this the trick you mentioned?"
Huang Shang smiled on his face and stretched out his hand to the armor to touch it. The cavalry around him stared at him tightly, just waiting for him to make any abnormal movement, so he assassinated him. But after seeing him take out a long time, he took out a feather fan and slapped the cool breeze proudly.
The soldiers were shocked and then realized that this person was so scared that he fanned in winter.
Li Jue opened his mouth and glared at him for a long time. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the east, shouting for killing, and the sound of weapons colliding from afar. He couldn't help but be shocked and shouted: "What's wrong with the east? Call someone to see!"
Jia Xu's expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Huang Shang and said, "Is this your 'makeup plan'?"
Huang Shang laughed to the sky, and Jia Xu hurriedly said to Li Jue: "General, now most of the soldiers in the city are guarding the west gate, and the east gate is empty. If an ambush is coming, I am afraid that the east gate will not be protected!"
Li Jue was shocked and said, "The rebels came from the west, how could they attack the east gate? And we checked closely. We haven't seen many people passing by the city these days. How did they get around?"
Jia Xu sighed: "Wang Zhi, the magistrate of Xingyang County, and Yang Feng, surrendered to the thief together. The Wang family was originally a large family in Xingyang, and there were many strong men in the clan. As long as Wang Zhi went back alone to report the news, he could pull up thousands of soldiers. Although he didn't know how they arrived at Chang'an from Xingyang so quickly, we only focused on defending the west gate. The east gate was empty in defense, and I was afraid it was already dangerous now!"
Li Jue suddenly realized and hurriedly dispatched troops to reinforce the East Gate. Suddenly, a horse was flying from the east. The horse knights ran on horseback, shouting loudly: "General, the East Gate has been broken!"
Li Jue was shocked and shouted: "Let him come over and tell me what's going on!"
The cavalry and pegasus arrived, and the troops made way for him to run to Li Jue's horse.
The cavalry jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly: "Report to General, the big thing is not good, Yang Feng, Wang Zhi, and Xu Huang have taken the East Gate!"
Li Jue changed his color and said, "Why are there Yang Feng and Xu Huang?"
Huang Shangyaofan laughed and said, "When I was in Xingyang, I had already expected today, so I left behind 500 Yang Feng's confidant soldiers in advance to live in the Wang family in Xingyang. As long as we hear our army's uprising, we will lurk with the Wang family soldiers to the east of Tongguan and wait for our orders. Yesterday, I ordered Yang Feng and the three of them to ride fast horses and take a detour through Tongguan, commanding the ambushed troops, disguised as reinforcements sent by Dong Zhuo to earn Tongguan. Now I must have seized Tongguan and come to attack Chang'an again!"
When the Chang'an defenders heard that Tongguan had been lost and their retreat was cut off, they were shocked.
Li Jue shouted: "It's okay if they earn Tongguan, why did they lose the East Gate without a single sound?"
Huang Shangxin said, "I took the letter written by Dong Zhuo, which I forged, as a reinforcement from Luoyang. Even if Dong Zhuo was guarding the east gate, I couldn't tell that the letter was fake, not to mention that Dong Zhuo's seal was covered with it. It was not like cheating on the city gate?" But he smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be leaked!"
Jia Xu's face darkened, gradually calmed down, and he smiled and said, "Although the East Gate is lost, the maximum number of bandits is only three or five thousand. It is not difficult for our 50,000 troops in Luoyang to kill them all. The 100,000 troops in Xiliang are now mostly under the city outside the West Gate, so how can we enter the East Gate?"
Huang Shang shaking the fan and laughed, saying, "The secret of heaven cannot be leaked!"
Jia Xu looked at him with attention. Although his eyes were looking at Li Jue, his attention was not on Li Jue, and he seemed to be looking at something with his light. He glanced at him, suddenly became shocked and said in a lost voice: "Be careful, General!"
