Chapter 477: Surprise Attack on Chang'an
It is said that the troops garrisoned at the Xue Palace were actually the defeated troops of Li Jue and Guo Si who had fled in the past, and the remnants of Dong Zhuo's northwest army. Li Ru, who had disappeared without a trace, turned into the army's great military advisor. He colluded with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and took advantage of the emperor's ambition to make a comeback, intending to use the east wind of Wang Yun's royalist faction to make a comeback.
The royalists headed by Wang Yun had never been resigned to defeat. They had a careful plan. They sent out their confidants in the early stage, secretly contacted the generals and clans from all over the country, gathered the elites, and plotted to launch the Chang'an Revolution, driving away or even crushing the main force of the Qinglong Army in one fell swoop, and establishing their power. Then follow the story of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. After entering the Guan and destroying the Qin Dynasty, he used the Chang'an area as a strategic base to reenact the glory of the great ancestor who dominated the Guanzhong and swept the world.
Emperor Xian once boasted that his great ancestor was reincarnated and laughed at Chen Long as the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, meaning that he would definitely be able to defeat Chen Long and force Chen Long to commit suicide in the Xiangjiang River. Unexpectedly, Chen Long just had his hands free, intending to end the Chang'an incident, deprive the royal family of power and transfer it to the new regime, which just disturbed the dreams of Emperor Xian of Han and Wang Yun. In the meantime, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was kidnapped by Shi A, the first assassin sent by Cao Cao, which only increased the variables in the world and made the chaotic world even more confusing.
It was against this background that the Northwest Army moved to the Zhenzong Palace north of Chang'an as planned, with the goal of attacking the north gate of Chang'an. At this moment, Li Ru, standing under the dark palace, narrowed his eyes and frowned: "Something must have happened in Chang'an. It may be dangerous for the army to be stationed here. But it would be a pity to give up now, why not do this?" Be prepared with both hands, so that you can advance and retreat at the same time.”
When it comes to strategizing, Li Jue and Guo Si believe that they still have to listen to Li Ru. Just listen to Li Ru continue: "I'm afraid this piece of fat in Chang'an is not that delicious. Now it seems that there are Qinglong troops guarding both inside and outside the North City Gate. Xun You is very resourceful, so he must be guarding it very tightly. It is not suitable to move lightly. Zhu Jun and Lu Yu were stationed in the west and northwest of Chang'an, which was the main defensive force of Chang'an. Huangfu Song and his son were stationed at Tongguan, and they were probably beyond their reach. They also had to defend against the harassment of Yuan Shu's army. At most, they could divide their troops. If the Qinglong army was to launch a coup, it would be inevitable. The focus is to deal with the armies of Zhu Jun and Lu Yu, so the focus of defense is also the west gate and north gate of Chang'an. Maybe Xun You has arranged troops to lay an ambush."
Guo Bang nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. It seems that when I was investigating, I happened to discover the layout of the Qinglong Army. They should be preparing for Zhu Jun's attack."
Li Jue was convinced and said: "So, the Qinglong Army doesn't know about our existence?"
Li Ru and Guo Bang both nodded slightly, and Li Ru continued: "It's very possible. The goal of Xun You's defense should be to prevent Zhu Jun from bypassing the north gate to attack Chang'an, and there are probably large groups of Qinglong Army in the western and northern suburbs of Chang'an. , Lu Yu and Zhu Jun are in trouble this time. But in this case, I expect that the east of Chang'an will be empty. If we go around the city, pass through the gap between Chang'an and Tongguan, raid the east gate of Chang'an, and then quickly break through Attacking the two northwest gates from the inside may achieve miraculous results. As long as we can control the royal family of Weiyang Palace and the city gates, we will have a strong city in hand. We can then command the world and summon King Qin's troops to defend Chang'an. When the time comes, Then we can have a decisive battle with the Qinglong Army in Chang'an."
When Li Jue heard this, his eyes almost gleamed with fire. He did not expect that Li Ru's idea was so grand, almost surpassing that of Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. He couldn't help but said hoarsely: "Surprise attack on Chang'an? Seize the world? Is everything the military advisor said true?"
Li Ru nodded firmly and said: "For Chen Long of the Qinglong Army, we are definitely a surprise force! He never dreamed that we would appear here! Maybe he is taking command in Chang'an, and the troops have been mobilized out of the city to deal with Lu Yuhe Zhu Jun, we can capture Chen Long. We can leave Wu Xi and a thousand people to wait here. Even if we cannot break through the city gate, we will be able to safely retreat here and arrange an escape route."
Guo Bang's eyes also reflected the blazing fire. He looked at Li Jue and said: "Commander! Look at us, we have been wandering outside for so many years. Many soldiers even have to wear their pants together. What do you have to worry about if you are so poor? A real man! If you die, you will die, and that's all. Let's do it!"
Li Jue pressed his forehead with his big hand, his wide eyes showed fear at first, then some confusion, and finally turned into fierceness. He glanced at Li Ru and Guo Si, and said slowly: "Then... do it?!" His tone was hesitant at first, and finally turned decisive.
Li Ru quickly inserted the sword into the scabbard and said with a strange smile: "Commander! There are heroes in the world. If this thing comes true, you and I will become the pillars of the imperial court and will be famous forever!" Several people immediately laughed, It seems that he is already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
While Li Ru was laughing strangely, he could no longer imagine that in the dark mausoleum not far away, Chen Long and his special operations team were dormant in the corner, waiting for the army outside to go out for reconnaissance after taking a rest. The noise outside gradually stopped, and it seemed that the bandits had eaten and drank enough. At this moment, Chen Long calculated the time, and the person he sent to report the news should have returned to Chang'an and met Zhuge Liang. I wonder how Zhuge Liang will arrange his troops and horses to wipe out the traitors in front of him?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard another noise outside, with faint sounds of gongs and drums, as if someone was shouting for a formation. Chen Long stood up in shock. Is this army going to attack Chang'an at night? Quickly lighting up Lu Chang, the two of them returned to the entrance to the mausoleum cave, one on the left and the other on the right to observe the enemy's situation.
Upon closer inspection, they saw chaos in the square outside. The generals who were already lying on the ground were being driven and whipped by some guards. They all got up, grabbed their weapons and lined up. Many people were swaying and were obviously drunk, but they were still held upright by others. The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and the faces of several generals could not be seen clearly in the dark night torches. They seemed to be lecturing in front of the army. Chen Long used his magic skills to listen, but the distance was too far, and he could only hear a few words such as "leave immediately" and so on. Chen Long was so anxious that he threw himself down on the ground and quickly crawled towards the group of people on his hands and knees. Lu Chang was startled and saw that his master was desperately crawling away, so he also crawled on his hands and knees to follow.
At this time, the Northwest Army's brigade, led by Li Jue, Guo Si, and Li Ru personally, had rushed out of the palace gate and plunged into the dark night. Chen Long and Lu Chang were lying in the shadows on the edge of the square, almost buried alive by the dust raised by the iron hooves of the horse army and the infantry queue. They could only eat dirt in their mouths, but they were extremely helpless in their hearts. After the group was completely gone, the remaining soldiers were seen shouting and arranging sentries, and the group camped in a tent around a main hall. It seemed that a general on horseback went directly into a main hall to rest.
Chen Long spit out the dust in his mouth and pointed his hand in the direction of the main hall. Lu Chang understood and knew that his lord was going to grab his tongue, so he immediately stood up and followed his lord to the outskirts of the hall.
The general who was left to defend the Zhen Palace was none other than Guo Bang's personal guard Wu Xi. In the official history, it was this Wu Xi who killed Guo Si and surrendered to Cao Cao. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes: "But it was said that Cao Cao led the army back to Xudu, and people reported that Duan Xuan had killed Li Jue, and Wu Xi had killed Guo Si, and presented his head to him. Duan Xuan and Li Jue's family, old and young, captured more than 200 people*. Xudu. Cao ordered the beheading to be carried out at each gate, and the first order was passed on, and the people were happy. The emperor ascended to the palace, gathered civil and military officials, and held a peace banquet. Duan Xuan was appointed as the general to destroy the bandits, and Wu Xi was appointed as the general to destroy the bandits, and each led his troops. Guard Chang'an."
At this moment, Wu Xi finally had his boss and his immediate boss go out to fight, so he didn't have to run around himself. He ordered his soldiers to make a few pots of wine and cook a few side dishes. While I was taking a sip of wine and a sip of food, I suddenly remembered the beautiful Aries woman I saw in Li Jue's hall with the general during the day, and I couldn't help but feel lustful. As the saying goes, when one is full and warm, Wu Xi shouted at the door: "Come here, find me that beautiful girl!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
