Three days later, outside Chang'an City.
After three days of day and night, Wu Xi led 10,000 troops and finally arrived at a mountain valley thirty miles away from Chang'an City to set up camp. At the same time, he secretly sent troops to inquire about the situation in Chang'an City. He didn't know why. , he had an uneasy fear.
The night was pitch black tonight, the sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain, the air was dull and humid, which made Wu Xi feel depressed.
"General! Everything is normal in Chang'an City." The detective horse was sent back to report.
Wu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Si's comfortable life in Chang'an made his vigilance plummet, which gave him an opportunity.
After midnight, calculating that it was time to change the city's defenses, Wu Xi mounted his horse, took two deep breaths, and led three thousand cavalry toward Chang'an City, with the rest of the cavalry following at a distance.
On the top of Chang'an City, the city guarding captain saw the men and horses coming on horseback. He sneered at the corner of his mouth and shouted, "Is this General Wu under the city?"
Wu Xi replied: "Exactly, open the city gate quickly."
"General Wu, please wait a moment. I'm going to open the city gate right away." After saying that, the city became quiet.
Wu Xi's heart was in suspense, cold sweat broke out involuntarily, and he stared straight at the city gate whose outline could only be seen in the darkness.
After a while, as the iron chain holding up the suspension bridge trembled, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered. For some reason, he felt that the suspension bridge was lowering very slowly tonight.
After the sound of the suspension bridge falling to the ground, the city gate made of heavy thick wood made a twisting sound as it twisted, and the city gate opened.
Wu Xi felt relaxed all over.
He clamped his legs on the horse's belly, lowered his body, and rode his horse into the half-opened city gate. The three thousand cavalry behind him followed and rushed in. The intensive sound of horse hooves trampled on the suspension bridge, making a heavy sound.
When the cavalry at the rear saw Wu Xi leading his troops into the city, they also began to charge toward Chang'an City.
As soon as he entered the city, Wu Xi knew that he had achieved more than half of his success.
Hope is like rain in the sky, falling densely.
Entering Chang'an City, he took the lead and killed the soldiers who came to stop them. With three hundred cavalry beside him, he headed straight for Guo Bang's mansion. The journey was really smooth.
The men and horses behind followed closely and rushed in, killing all the defenders in the city and firmly controlling the four city gates. Other personnel rushed into the city and besieged Guo Si's mansion.
The closer he got to Guo Si's mansion, the more excited Wu Xi became.
As long as Guo Si is killed, he can use Guo Si's head to order his subordinates. At that time, he will be able to take control of Guanzhong, fight against Li Jue, and become a feudal lord on one side of the country.
As for taking refuge in Zhang Xiu?
snort!
Why should he Zhang Xiu?
His decision not to take refuge with Zhang Xiu was determined when he entered Chang'an City. Once he had mastered Guo Si's 30,000 cavalry, he would become the second largest prince in Guanzhong. The victory that was about to be won made his blood boil, and he even felt depressed. The rain is warm.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning lit up half of the sky, shining brightly on the ridges and eaves of Guo Si's mansion in front of him, and also shining brightly on the ambition revealed in his eyes.
"kill--!"
With a roar, he accelerated towards Guo Bang's mansion.
When he rushed in, his fiery eyes looked at the silent Guo Si mansion. His hot-tempered face finally changed, and his ambition was instantly frozen.
"General!" An urgent voice came from outside, "Guo Si led his troops from all directions and surrounded Chang'an City."
Wu Xi shivered from the cold rain.
Then he calmed down and said, "Hold the city gate. Let's go up to the city."
Braving the rain, Wu Xi hurriedly came to the top of the city. When he looked around, he saw a crowd of men and horses as dark as a tide, surrounding Chang'an City.
A bolt of thunder flashed down, lighting up half of Chang'an City.
It illuminated a horse under the city and a majestic general in iron armor. Under the light of the thunder, his eyes shot straight at him like a cold knife.
"Wu Xi! You are so brave." Outside the city, Guo Bang angrily said, "I treated you badly, but you turned against me. Come down to the city quickly to apologize, and I will keep your body intact."
Now, Wu Xi has no way out. As long as he sticks to the city and waits for Zhang Xiu to enter from Wuguan, he will definitely defeat Guo Si.
He sneered and said: "Old Guo Si, you want to murder me and you dare to talk nonsense here. Let me see what you can do to me."
Guo Bang sneered: "Let me see how many days you can hold on." After that, he stopped talking nonsense to him and retreated, ordering his troops to surround the city and not attack.
When Wu Xi went back to check the food and grass, his face was as white as paper.
There is no food in the city.
…
Huangbaicheng.
Standing at the window, listening to the rain hitting the banana trees, and making hot wine to feel comfortable.
Li Jue has received clear information: Wu Xi failed to attack Guo Si but was besieged Chang'an City. Guo Si's 30,000 troops surrounded Chang'an City.
"It's really dog bites dog, it's a hairy mouth!"
Li Jue took a sip of wine with a proud smile on his face.
The mutual bickering between Wu Xi and Guo Si provided him with an opportunity to attack and kill Guo Si, unify the Xiliang cavalry, and become a unique prince in the Guanzhong Plain.
Originally Li Jue did not have such ambitions, because he knew that he did not have that ability; since the leader of Xiliang Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, the four of them, Guo Si, Li Jue, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, became the Xiliang cavalry. Spokesperson.
They were forced to become the leaders of the Xiliang people. As warriors, they neither knew how to govern the country nor had any long-term planning. Coupled with their barbaric nature, the power structure was extremely unstable.
But after these two years of training, Li Jue has gained some experience. Although he has no long-term plan, he also knows some strategies and knows how to fight for power and gain.
"Let the people below prepare. After the rain has passed and the sky has cleared, we will attack Guo Si's military camp." Li Jue's voice was lazy, as if Guo Si and Wu Xi had become dead.
The person waiting next to him responded and immediately went out to prepare.
…
In the military camp outside Huangbai City.
"General, someone outside said that one of your fellow countrymen is here to come." Someone came to report at the door.
"A fellow countryman?"
Duan Xuan frowned. It was raining so heavily in the middle of the night. Who was looking for him? After thinking for a while, he said, "Let him in."
Not long after, a thin old man wearing a raincoat came in. As he entered, he said, "Zhongming, you're welcome and well!"
"Ah... Jia Changshi?!" Duan Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and at the same time his mind was racing, thinking about the purpose of his coming here.
He quickly invited Jia Xu to take a seat and ordered people to serve wine.
After Jia Xu took two sips of stomach-warming wine, Duan Xuan asked, "Why is Jia Changshi visiting me late at night?"
"Come for you, General."
"For me?" Duan Yan stared into Jia Xu's eyes, "Please tell me, Chief Shi Ming."
"You and I must know what kind of people Li Jue and Guo Si are. As the leaders of the Xiliang people, they have brought trouble to one side and caused us a lot of harm. After Grand Master Dong, we Xiliang people were spurned by the world and became infamous. If the general continues to follow them down, he may destroy himself."
Duan Xuan nodded in agreement and asked, "I heard that Chang Shi was under Zhang Xiu's tent. Could it be that he came here this time..."
Jia Xu nodded.
Zhang Xiu's ability has been recognized by the people of Xiliang. He is a young, brave and wise man who can represent the people of Xiliang and become the new spokesperson of Xiliang.
Duan Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"chaos!"
"chaos?"
Jia Xu nodded: "Chaos."
Duan Yan thought for a while and looked at him sharply: "Is Boyuan planning to take advantage of the chaos?"
Jia Xu laughed.
Duan Xuan clasped his fists: "Please, Chang Shi, Boyuan, don't worry, I know what to do."
