The news of the cavalry appearing in Bingzhou was rushed 800 miles to Chang'an that night. In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Jia Xu arrived at Shangcheng Pavilion, he saw the urgent battle report from Bingzhou. The top part of the battle report was sealed.
He took the battle report in his hand and looked at it. He was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he sat calmly on the chair and waited for the arrival of Li Ru and Liu Ye. He knew without thinking that Cao Wei's men must have appeared in Bingzhou. Pan Xing has already sent word that Wei's troops are preparing to attack Hulao Pass. The sudden appearance of troops in Bingzhou must be Cao Wei's trump card.
Not long after, Li Ru and Liu Ye came in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jia Xu sitting in the upper hall, with a secret letter on the table next to him.
Seeing them coming in, Jia Xu picked up the letter and said, "It's a battle report sent urgently from 800 miles away from Bingzhou. It's probably that Cao Wei's methods have been exposed." Then with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Our plan can start."
If Cao Wei didn't take action, Zhang Jing would be passive because he didn't know what Cao Wei's secret plan was. Now that Cao Wei had taken action first, they turned from passive to active and could act according to the plan.
Liu Ye glanced at the secret message and said confidently: "It seems that Cao Wei's secret hand is the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro."
When he learned from Pan Xing that Cao Wei's plan was related to Bingzhou, Liu Ye guessed that the back-up man might be the Black Mountain Army. However, the Black Mountain Army was hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests. Even if he guessed it, there was no way to take any action. Effective measures to block. After the three people discussed it, they decided that since they couldn't stop it, they should not stop it, but let's see what Cao Wei's conspiracy was.
Jia Xu opened the secret letter and read it, with a contemptuous sneer on his face. He handed the letter to them and said, "Cao Wei has got his way. He actually wants to use the Black Mountain Army as a surprise force to attack Chang'an. It's really ridiculous!"
Li Ru and Liu Ye took the letter and read it carefully.
Li Ru twirled his beard and thought for a moment before saying: "Xi Zhicai's plan is really a wonderful one! If Pan's nature had not been exposed and our informants in Bingzhou were not prepared enough, he might have succeeded. We guarded the Lingshi Pass and blocked it. If we live on Wuguandao, Chang'an will still be isolated by Cao Wei's army."
Liu Ye nodded, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Now that Cao Wei has taken action, we can take action."
Jia Xu stood up, but his vicissitudes of life revealed unquestionable majesty, and issued three orders: "Quickly send an order to Yan Yan, the commander of the capital of Hanzhong, and order him to lead 30,000 Hanzhong infantry in a speed chariot to aid Chang'an. Order the dam manager Zong Yu is preparing to release the water! Order Zhang Liao to lead the Bingzhou army and prepare to... go eastward!"
"Here!"
Li Ru and Liu Ye stood up and agreed.
Suddenly, Chang'an became busy in an instant. Each group of messengers, one man and five cavalry, rushed to various places to deliver orders. The defenders on the city began to prepare things to defend the city in a hurry.
…
Xi Zhicai led the army to cross the Yellow River as quickly as possible day and night, and galloped towards Chang'an City.
As soon as the army crossed the Yellow River, the battle report from Lingshikou was rushed to Xi Zhicai's hands. When he saw the battle report from Lingshikou, his heart skipped a beat and he was already half cold. It actually took two hours to capture Lingshikou. Two hours was enough for Dajing to rush the intelligence to Chang'an for 800 miles. When the news was leaked, where was the strange word?
The heavy rain has just stopped, and the cold is approaching.
Xi Zhicai shuddered suddenly and looked at Chang'an City in the distance in the hazy fog, thinking rapidly about the next countermeasures. No matter what, he had arrived at Chang'an City and he must not lose this golden opportunity. Fortunately, Lingshikou has been occupied, blocking Jingguo's reinforcements. Liangzhou's troops and horses have all moved south with Zhang Xiu. It will take at least a month for the troops and horses from Beizhou to rush to Chang'an.
But Chang'an City is not easy to break.
Coming from the mountains and forests, without sufficient supplies of food and siege weapons, it would be impossible to capture Chang'an in one month.
What should we do in this situation?
Xi Zhicai stood motionless as if made of iron, his robes rustling in the cold wind, his brows furrowed, and stars racing in his mind.
Zhang Xiu's 170,000 troops are arrayed in Nanyang, and it is probably difficult for the Wei army to support them from the Central Plains. Moreover, Dajing's target must be Cao Wei. He has not yet shown his trump card, and he has lost the opportunity. More importantly, and what worries Xi Zhicai the most, is the Hongtian artillery truck that has not yet been revealed.
If there was such a thing in Chang'an City, it would be difficult for an army of 50,000 to capture it within a month.
etc!
Nanyang! Zhang Xiu!
In an instant, Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed with light.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since the current situation cannot be solved, then the person who created this situation will be solved.
After careful planning for a while, Xi Zhicai immediately wrote a secret letter and sent it to Runan.
Then he ordered 3,000 men and horses to support Lingshikou, and ordered a general to lead 5,000 men and horses, one man with two flags, to go to Chang'an to create the illusion of attacking Chang'an, while he personally led the army to march to Wuguandao to kill.
…
Lingshikou.
After learning that cavalry appeared at Lingshikou, Zhang Liao knew that this was Cao Wei's trick, and immediately ordered Gan Ning to lead 5,000 cavalry to support, and met up with Tian Jing's troops early the next morning.
After learning that Cheng Peng and Mu Gong had been beheaded and their heads were hanging behind the city gate, Gan Ning's cold eyes shot out two soul-stirring murderous auras and immediately ordered the army to go to the Lingshi mouth.
Along with this came three armor-piercing crossbows brought by three speed vehicles and a Kecheng heavy crossbow vehicle.
The outside of Kecheng's heavy crossbow was tightly wrapped in wheat straw. When Tian Jing saw this guy, he was stunned for a moment, and then he knew who it was.
At noon, Gan Ning led the army to Lingshikou.
After a night of emergency repairs, Lingshikou has been brand new, and the blood stains have long been washed away by the heavy rain. If it weren't for the two penetrating heads shaking on the top of the city, it would even make people wonder whether a tragic battle took place last night.
Seeing the heads of Cheng Peng and Mu Gong, Gan Ning and Tian Jing suddenly became furious. Cheng Peng was replaced by Hu Ji, and Hu Ji entered Zhang Xiu's tent at the same time as Gan Ning. They were both on good terms. How could he not be angry when he saw Cheng Peng being killed? Tian Jing and Mu Gong were both the same age and good friends, and they were the people Tian Jing specially wanted to come here. However, they died at the mouth of the Lingshi. How could they not be angry?
Gan Ning ordered Chen Dao to step forward and call for formation.
Chen Dao, courtesy name Shuzhi, was born in Runan, Yuzhou. He fled to Nanyang during the famine years. Later he entered a school and became a student of the Military Academy. The third batch of martial arts champions was originally an envoy under Zhang Ren of Bingzhou and a third-grade military attaché. Since his military exploits were not outstanding, the general appointed at this time followed Wei Yan.
Chen arrived on his horse and pointed his gun at the city head: "You traitor in the Wei army! If you dare to attack my city and kill my general, come down and die immediately!"
Zhang Yan lowered her head to see the young general below and sneered: "How dare a kid with a yellow mouth dare to call the formation?"
Chen Dao sneered: "Do you dare to fight with me?"
Zhang Yan is known as Feiyan, how could he be afraid of Chen Dao? He snorted coldly: "Looking for death!" and then led 500 troops out of the city to kill Chen Dao.
Holding a pair of black mountain axes, the dancing tiger and the wind came towards Chen Dao to kill.
Chen Dao sneered and rode off to fight.
The two horses intersected, and the two sides fought for fifty rounds without deciding the winner. This surprised Zhang Yan. He looked at his opponent Chen Dao carefully and saw that the opponent's marksmanship was sharp and skillful, and his winning power was not reduced. It might be difficult to win in a short time. It was Gan Ning, the famous general of Jingguo, who did not dare to fight anymore, so he found a loophole and returned to the city.
Chen Dao was not angry when he killed Zhang Yan without a formation.
