Chapter 224: The soldiers arrived in Chang'an

Cao Cao hid and did not meet the Fujiao soldiers who were "rebellious" now, which was considered a life-saving. If he went out to meet the Fujiao soldiers at this time, he would not only not be able to hand over the errand, but would instead take his life. If he saw Jia Xu, Jia Xu would have to kill him!

At this time, Jia Xu was rushing towards Chang'an with his army. He waited for two days on the road and sent a scout to investigate the movements in Chang'an. He found that there was nothing in Chang'an and that the army was not mobilized. He immediately became excited. He could not miss the opportunity and would never come again. He did not occupy Chang'an at this time, so when would he wait? I immediately urged the army and rushed towards Chang'an!

Whether it is cavalry or infantry, all the soldiers have horses when marching. The only difference is that there is only one infantry, while there are many cavalrymen. The whole army rides horses and gallops, so it is naturally extremely fast. It only took two days to exert force to rush to Chang'an.

When Jia Xu arrived in Chang'an, it was just evening that day. It was dark early in winter. When he arrived in Chang'an thirty miles away, the scout rushed back and told him that Chang'an had closed the city gate. There were countless torches on the city and all the city gates were closed. Obviously, the officials in the city already knew that they were coming. Of course, it was easy to do if they came. Tens of thousands of Fujiao Army rushed over. It would be strange if the officials in the city didn't know it, but the officials also clearly regarded the Fujiao Army as an enemy. Otherwise, people should be sent to contact us at this time, rather than closing the city gate!

After hearing the scout's report, Jia Xu knew that the officials in the city must have not handled Cao Cao's affairs well, otherwise they would not be panicked. He came with the Fujiao Army just to occupy Chang'an, so there was no need to be polite. Anyway, he found the excuse and only the war was left!

Jia Xu took out the map of Chang'an. He came from the west and was considered to be northwest. It was not easy to enter Chang'an from this aspect. When Chang'an was built in the Western Han Dynasty, in order to prevent the Huns from the northwest, the Xicheng and the Beicheng were built the most solid, especially the Xicheng, which is the direction he is in now. There are fortresses of all sizes outside the city, and each fortress echoes from each other. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The northern city is similar. There are also outer cities outside the Mingguang Palace. From these two aspects, it is almost impossible for ten thousand soldiers to attack into the city.

If you attack from the south city, it is the aspect of the Weiyang Palace, but there have always been important places, and there are fortresses outside the city, which are also difficult to attack. Therefore, the main attack direction of the troops of 10,000 people can only be in the east. The best city gate to attack is Xuanping Gate. This is the gate that the tribute envoys used to walk. There is a large flat ground outside the city, and the fortress is the least, mainly where the Han court showed its majesty to the outside.

Jia Xu said: "Let's go around the east. Tonight, brothers take turns to rest. Every half hour, they change teams of people to shout and scold the city gate, and let the officials inside come out to negotiate!"

After conveying the order, the Fujiao Army immediately turned, from west to north, and then from north to east, and then from second to second, they rushed to Xuanping Gate! When they arrived at Xuanping Gate, the Fujiao Army looked at the Han accompanying capital with the moonlight and the torches on the city gate, and all of them exclaimed. This city gate was so magnificent that the city gate they had ever seen was the best!

Jia Xu rode on the horse and gasped, "Chang'an is indeed Chang'an, it's no smaller than our countryside. Be good, just looking at this city gate building, you have the aura of despising the world!"

Dian Wei said: "It's so big. Look at this city gate building, there are probably thousands of soldiers standing inside. If you count the city walls, you may have more than five thousand guards alone!"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "I just don't know where Jingzhao Yin is and whether the Sili lieutenant has come. They may still be guarding the west!"

Dian Wei was very excited, but he was very thin and said, "Gao Shun didn't come with us. If we were to attack the city now, we wouldn't even have a ladder. I'm afraid we couldn't attack it, and many brothers would die!"

Jia Xu sniffed and said with a smile: "What a joke? Even if you want to attack the city, you are just pretending. Can you still really attack? That won't it be a rebellion!"

He turned around and called a messenger, saying, "Go to the city gate and shout, tell the people above, let Gai Xun and Zhang Wen come, I have something to say to them!"

The messenger rushed over immediately, shouted loudly under the city, calling Gai Xun and Zhang Wen's names without any face.

The Han generals at the city gate felt dizzy when they saw the Fujiao army turning to the gate he was guarding. They could hardly stand. Chang'an had been living for a long time, and since the general's grandfather's generation, he had never seen a situation. In his life, he had never seen a thousand troops except for regular exercises. Suddenly, tens of thousands of Fujiao soldiers rushed over the mountains and fields outside the city. He could not bear this fright and had sent people to find Gai Xun and Zhang Wen. He had even made plans to take off his armor and escape if Fujiao soldiers rushed to the city!

Hearing the yelling of the Fujiao commander below, the general lies to the battlement and shouts to the bottom: "Are you brothers from Fujiao Fort? If you have something to say, everyone eats the imperial rations and is all their own brothers, but don't have any misunderstandings, don't move too hard!"

The messenger was quite arrogant. Any soldiers who had been in the Fujiao Army looked down on other troops. The messenger was no exception. He looked up and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, go and call Gai Xun and Zhang Wenlai, and let them come and reply to my military chief. If you dare to procrastinate, be careful that we will enter the city in person and catch them out!"

The general complained in his heart. The military chief was so full that he couldn't go there. He didn't want to come to his own Xuanping Gate. Isn't that fatal! He had to send someone to urge Gai Xun and Zhang Wen to ask them to come to Xuanping Gate quickly!

After a long time, Gai Xun and Zhang Wen still did not arrive. Jia Xu had sent a messenger to urge him three times. On the third time, the messenger directly told the general that Gai Xun and Zhang Wen would not be able to do so again. They would think that this was a great disrespect to the Fujiao Army, and that all the consequences would be borne by them!

After the command of the troops, a team of about a thousand soldiers from Fujiao drove outside the city. The Fujiao soldiers took off their war horses and listed a block formation. It seemed that they were going to attack the city. This season, it was cold and the moat in Chang'an was wide, but it was already frozen. As long as the Fujiao soldiers started attacking, they would directly attack the city gate. At this time, the city gate was not blocked, and it was very likely to be knocked open.

Of course, for the Fujiao Army, they were just an offensive posture, and it was impossible to make them really attack. However, the Han soldiers on the city didn't know that when they saw the Fujiao Army lined up, they exclaimed in unison. The general was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He didn't care about anything else. He personally went down the city wall to find Gai Xun and Zhang Wen. He really couldn't handle the matter here!

On the way, the general met Zhang Wen who was rushing to the scene. When he told the matter, Zhang Wen was relieved. Zhang Wen was originally staying in the yamen with Gai Xun. He heard that when Fujiao Army was thirty miles away from the city, Gai Xun had to be in the middle of command and refused to leave the yamen. So Zhang Wen had to go to Zhangcheng Gate by himself, but he heard that Fujiao Army had to go around Xuanping Gate. He had no choice but to run to Xuanping Gate again, but he did not expect to meet the goalkeeper of Xuanping Gate halfway.

Zhang Wen rushed to the city gate with him, and Zhang Wen said, "Don't panic, do you really think the Fujiao Army can attack the city? Wouldn't that be rebellious!"

The general said anxiously: "But they really lined up!"

The two of them went up the city wall together. Zhang Wen looked at the Fujiao Army below and said, "It turns out that it will be safe." He pointed outside the city and said, "If they don't line up, that's dangerous. But they lined up and said they had to see me, which means they would not attack. If they really had the intention to attack, how could they do this? They went straight into the darkness and rushed up without a sound. Will we still prepare!"

The general then felt relieved and said, "It's still General Zhang's wisdom, but the general didn't understand this. So should he call Lord Gai?"

"Of course I have to call him. He is the chief officer of Chang'an. Whoever comes out if he doesn't come out? Tell him, Jia Xu calls him out. If he doesn't come out, then the Fujiao Army will attack the city and all the consequences will be borne by him!" Zhang Wen said angrily.

The general immediately sent someone to call Gaixun again.

Zhang Wenchong shouted in the distance: "I am the Sili Captain, please come over and speak!"

The commander of Fujiao immediately went to report to Jia Xu. After hearing this, Jia Xu came over and shouted to the top: "General Zhang, I am Jia Xu. What happened to my Li Lang in your Sizhou is that you have to give me an explanation, otherwise my Fujiao Army will be in chaos. If there are any consequences that you cannot bear to say, you have to bear it. I, Jia, are not responsible!"

Zhang Wen said, "Jia Juncheng, don't be irritated. Lord Gai will come soon. He will answer all your questions!" He also learned his lesson and refused to take responsibility, so he had to wait for Gai Xun to come.

Not long after he finished speaking, Gai Xun climbed up the city wall panting, came to him, and asked, "What did Jia Xu say?" He looked down and said, "It's okay, he can't attack. The more he sets out his stance, the less he can't attack!"

Zhang Wen thought to himself: "Heroes have similar views... Damn, what kind of hero he is? How can he be compared with me!"

Jia Xu shouted again, and he had to give him an explanation.

Gai Xun shouted downwards: "Has Li Junhou come to Sizhou? We don't know at all. We didn't even see the one who sent the wedding. If you look for someone, go find someone else. Don't look for him in Chang'an. Go quickly and go quickly. If you are in the hustle and bustle under the city, be careful that we treat you like a thief, we can shoot arrows!"

Jia Xu was shocked. It was normal for him to shirk responsibility in the officialdom. He had always known that he had reached the pinnacle of responsibility, but it was worthy of admiration that he had reached such a peak!

Jia Xu was a little confused now. The situation in Chang'an was completely different from what he expected. He couldn't come up with an idea what to do next. There was no way, so he had to shout: "Then we can catch robbers nearby. If there is any conflict, don't blame us!"

Gai Xun shouted, "If there is a conflict, it will be blamed by you all, of course you will blame you!" He shouted loudly and was very imposing. It was hard to imagine that he, a civil servant, was so powerful. He dared to shout like this when the Fujiao Army was approaching the border. This was completely unwilling to take Fujiao Army seriously!

Zhang Wen raised his thumb and said, "Brother Gai, I have always looked down on you. I think you used to be very dissatisfied with a man, but now I think you are a real man, and I am far inferior to you, brother!"
