Outside the Chu military camp.
The Han army's military formation was in order, and the imperial guards were focused on fighting.
Wu Nian stood up on his horse, looking at Li Tongda from a hundred households in front of him, and listened to what he had to say. Wu Nian sighed, but smiled and said to Wang Gui: "Failed."
"Sending rouge, gouache and gold and silver jewelry is a bit childish."
Wang Gui shrugged, it will definitely fail. Wu Yan was not a foolhardy man.
"Your Majesty, don't bother. Set up camp and confront the Chu army." Wang Gui said.
"Yeah. Find another place to set up camp with a water source." Wu Nian nodded, then looked back at the Chu army's camp, secretly thinking that it was a pity.
The long-lost battlefield.
The Chu army's camp and the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Yan made up his mind not to fight, so he asked his soldiers to get hot water, put in medicine, and wash his feet to maintain health. The jewelry box on the coffee table next to it was opened, revealing the exquisite jewelry inside.
Wu Yan smiled and said: "Although I can't use it, it can be used by my wife. Thank you, Emperor Han, for the gift."
"Hahaha."
The soldiers around him couldn't hold it back and laughed.
yes. Although the rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry smelled like humiliation. But in terms of value, Wu Nian's gift is not light.
But real money.
At this moment, a soldier broke in from the outside, knelt down on one knee, and reported with a happy face: "General. Great joy. The Han army has retreated."
"It's not a happy event, it's just expected. Although I can't defeat Wu Nian in the field, I can only defend the camp. Wu Nian will not attack me easily."
"My unit is elite."
Wu Yan was very calm and said calmly. Then he became energetic again and ordered:
"Go down with the order. Only a small number of soldiers will be left on guard. The rest of the soldiers will keep their clothes on and their weapons on their bodies. They will go to sleep immediately. We will leave Wu Nian behind at night and enter Chang'an."
"Yes." The soldier responded loudly, turned around and went down.
"As long as I enter Chang'an and join forces with Lu Jing, the city of Chang'an will be impregnable." Wu Yan smiled, took the white cloth from the hands of the soldiers, and raised his feet to wipe them.
After washing his feet to relieve his fatigue, Wu Yan felt very comfortable. At the same time, sleep came over me. He got up and came to the inner tent, took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.
Soon, he breathed evenly and fell asleep.
"Da da da." Rapid footsteps sounded, and a soldier rushed into the inner tent, bent down and clasped his fists, and said: "General. News came from Tan Ma. The Han army generals Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, and Feng Chong led 30,000 The people and horses of the household headed to Wuguan Road in the south."
"What did you say?" Wu Yan was confused at first, then his expression changed, he lifted the quilt and sat up.
"Wu Nian is not afraid. We blocked Wuguan Road and let these 30,000 households die in it?" Wu Yan put on his shoes and stood up, pacing back and forth in the inner tent.
This move was really beyond his expectation.
Wuguandao is a very long mountain road with many passes.
Liu Bang took this route back then, attacking Guanzhong from the southeast and destroying Qin.
But now that Chang'an is still in Lu Jing's hands, Wu Nian dared to directly let the general enter Wuguandao.
Is this confidence or arrogance?
Wu Yan's originally relaxed and comfortable mood became less comfortable.
"Hey." He sighed and sat back on the bed. He raised his head and said to the soldier: "It seems I can't leave."
"Transmit the order. Let the soldiers rest and rotate normally and guard the camp."
"Send people to deliver news to Nanyang and Nanjing. Let Nanyang's generals organize defenses. Nanyang cannot be lost, Nanyang is lost. Not only Luoyang is in danger, Xiangyang and the Central Plains are also in danger."
"Yes." The soldier saw sweat on his forehead. After answering, he immediately turned around and went down.
"Wu Nian not only has many soldiers, but also has strong soldiers and horses. That's why he has no scruples." Wu Yan sighed and deeply understood what it means to defeat ten groups with one force.
Wu Nian has achieved great success.
.....................
Chang'an.
Under Lu Jing's order, almost all Chang'an troops from all parties gathered in Chang'an. Only in the direction of Tongguan, there are still 5,000 Chang'an Army defenders.
Previously, the Chang'an army was killed by Zhang Zhen, but it was replenished.
Currently, there are 45,000 serious soldiers in Chang'an City.
Originally, Xiong Wuwo organized a large number of elite and civilian men to support the front line. But he was deceived by Wu Nian's plan to seize the opportunity and attack the west.
Now these troops have been blocked in Luoyang and cannot enter Guanzhong.
Lu Jing recruited the people in the city to defend the city. The effect was not very good, but he still gained thousands of people.
Today, there are only 50,000 elite soldiers and strong civilians in Chang'an City.
There are a little fewer people and horses, but there are a lot of military supplies. Moreover, many people in Chang'an City fled, almost becoming an empty city.
Not only the soldiers need to eat food, but the people also need to eat food.
Now that there are no common people, the soldiers have more rations.
Lu Jing led his troops well, and the morale of his soldiers was also very high.
In short, the army is well-equipped and the city is strong.
It seemed like he was invincible.
And if Chang'an cannot be defeated, the Han army will not completely capture Guanzhong.
There must be a battle in Chang'an.
Moreover, the Chang'an army also had foreign aid. Wu Yan, the commander-in-chief of Luoyang, led 20,000 elite troops to rescue them.
Said in the art of war.
If you are trapped in an isolated city, you will definitely lose it. If there is rescue, the city can be defended.
morning.
In Chang'an City. Lu Jing took advantage of the fact that the Han army had not yet reached the city, and quickly made various arrangements to boost morale, which was also part of it.
He asked the officials to open the door of the granary, and led the generals and senior officers in the city to the granary to view the grain.
Lu Jing not only opened the door of the granary, but also had people take out the grain and show it off to everyone present, saying: "In wartime, one pound of grain can be worth one tael of gold. The grain in my city can feed an army of 100,000 people." Two years."
After looking at the granary, Lu Jing led everyone to the arsenal not far away and led everyone to visit.
A piece of fine weapons, a divine arm bow, a war bow, and bundles of countless arrows.
Lu Jing stood in the center, pointed at these weapons, and said with pride, "The arrows in my city can kill 100,000 people."
"The rest of the rolling stones, logs, etc. are piled at the top of the city. You can all see them."
"My city is impregnable. Military supplies are piled up like mountains. As long as the generals are not afraid of death, although the Han army is strong, they cannot take my Chang'an city."
"What's more, there are reinforcements from General Wu outside."
"Everyone, today is the day for us to make a great contribution. As long as we repel the Han army's attack, Emperor Zhang Wu will definitely be rewarded heavily."
"Be given a wife and a shadow, and you will be prosperous and wealthy."
At the end of the sentence, Lu Jing's tone was decisive.
The generals, senior officers, and officials present were also more confident.
They all knew that the city was well prepared, but seeing it with their own eyes was another matter.
This strong city.
This mountain of military supplies.
It is hard to imagine that the Han army could break through Chang'an City like this.
After Lu Jing saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded slightly.
Military morale is available.
At this moment, an official came in from outside. After standing still, he hurriedly reported: "General. The Han army sent generals Liu Wu, Zhang Jin, and Feng Chong to lead an infantry of 30,000 horses, bypassing Chang'an and heading for Wuguan Road. go."
A basin of cold water poured down.
Put out the fire.
There was silence for a moment in the arsenal.
