When Jin Zhun got the news that Liu Yao led his army to cross Puban, his younger brother Jin Ming also returned from Guandong.
As soon as he saw Jin Zhun, Jin Ming immediately looked depressed.
"Brother, the Qingzhou thieves are cunning and treacherous. They just want to watch us and Liu Yao fight with each other."
The news brought by Jin Ming made Jin Zhun feel very embarrassed.
"Haha, he is just a duke in vain, but he has no intention of accepting us at all!"
For the time being, Jin Zhun did not intend to accept the suggestion made by Emperor Liu Yu of the Han Dynasty to hand over Tongguan first and then send reinforcements.
Because he felt that he still had the strength to give it a try.
Now that King Zhao Liu Yao led his army across the river, he was simply taking a risk. As long as he held Chang'an firmly, Liu Yao could not do anything to him.
After the Han army learned the news, they would definitely attack Pingyang.
When it was difficult to take care of both ends, Liu Yao would definitely withdraw his troops.
By that time, Jin Zhun will be free to slowly clean up the situation in Guanzhong.
"Humph, when the time comes, the one who wants to regret it is Liu Yu!" Jin Zhun said angrily.
After hearing his brother's plan, Jin Ming was still frowning.
"Brother, Liu Yao has always been brave. If he can't hold on, what should he do?" Jin Ming asked.
"As long as he can't hold on, no matter how brave Liu Yao is, how can he fly into Chang'an City!" Jin Zhun had already made plans to make a big turtle formation.
"If Liu Yao subdued the Dingkou troops outside Chang'an City, how would he deal with the siege of Chang'an?" Jin Ming continued to ask.
"Well..." Jin Zhun was speechless for a moment.
He really hasn't thought about this problem, he just feels that he can rely on Chang'an to defend it.
"Not only that, all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an, when they heard Liu Yao's name, no one had the will to fight. With these people, how can they be reliable even if they defend Chang'an?" Jin Ming was very worried. said.
After hearing this, Jin Zhun also fell into deep worry.
Their Jin family is just an ordinary strong force of the left Xiongnu, and they can't be compared with the Liu family who are hereditary and merged with the southern Xiongnu Chanyu.
Even though Jin Zhun had slaughtered all the Xiongnu Liu family in Chang'an, the Xiongnu tribesmen who had been serving as Xiongnu Chanyu all their lives still had strange thoughts when they heard Liu Yao's name.
It's just that they are now afraid of the military strength in the hands of the Jin Zhun brothers, so they don't take any strange actions.
Once Liu Yao leads the army to Chang'an City, there is no guarantee that traitors will not appear among these people.
As long as one person opens the city gate, Jin Zhun will be killed.
"These stupid servants, what good is the Liu family, but they still refuse to give up!" Jin Zhun said bitterly.
"Yes, brother, these people are all idiots. Even if they use kindness and power at the same time, they may not be effective." Jin Ming also frowned.
There were so many Huns in Chang'an City that as long as two or three adults responded to Liu Yao, it would be enough to open the city defenses and allow Liu Yao to march straight in.
Sure enough, things were just as Brother Jin Zhun feared.
The Huns soldiers and horses that Jin Zhun sent to block Zhao Wang Liu Yao before saw Liu Yao's flag, all turned against him, killed the general appointed by Jin Zhun, and more than 10,000 people surrendered to Liu Yao.
Hearing the news, Jin Zhun was immediately frightened and had trouble sleeping and eating.
In order to win over the hearts of the Huns in Chang'an City, Jin Zhun rewarded the Huns soldiers and horses in the city three times in one day.
Most of the money and silk in Chang'an's treasury was almost emptied.
However, despite this, there were reports from subordinates from time to time, and Hun soldiers often secretly left the city to join the approaching Zhao King Liu Yao.
After Jin Zhun got the news, he immediately became furious.
"Send an order to all armies. If any soldiers in each department flee, they will all be severely punished!"
Jin Zhun summoned the generals of the Chang'an garrison to announce his latest strategy for running the army.
"If Wu Shi runs away from the soldiers, then he will severely punish the corps commander. If the corps commander runs away, then he will severely punish the brigade commander. If he escapes from battle, he will not tolerate it!"
Facing Jin Zhun's menacing military order, all the generals immediately shouted to accept the order.
Jin Zhun thought that such a harsh military regiment would always allow officers of all sizes to restrain their soldiers from fleeing.
Never expected that!
On the first day after the military order was implemented, the number of Huns soldiers escaping from Chang'an City not only did not decrease, but even doubled.
Often after a soldier escapes, the corps commander must run away in order to avoid being severely punished, regardless of whether he wants to escape or not.
As soon as the corps commander fled, the commander-in-chief of the brigade above often ran away in order to avoid punishment.
"What? More than a thousand people escaped in one day today?"
After receiving the news, Jin Zhun almost fainted from anger.
"Yes, brother, this method is not feasible. It is simply giving away someone for Liu Yao."
Brothers Jin Ming and Jin Kang both complained bitterly.
"However, brother, there is no need to worry. Most of the people outside the city have fled to the city, and we have quite a few strong men guarding the city."
Jin Kang's subsequent words rekindled hope in the frustrated Jin Zhun.
After hearing this, Jin Zhun's heart moved and his eyes flashed.
"What? Say it again?"
Jin Kang was slightly surprised. He was startled by his brother's reaction.
"Brother, I mean that although many soldiers of our own clan have fled, there are also many people from outside the city who are running into the city every day." Jin Kang said.
"Hahaha, so it can be like this!" Jin Zhun immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed.
Jin Ming and Jin Kang looked at each other, wondering why Jin Zhun was so happy.
"Sure enough, the Huns are all extremely ignorant. Instead of following me, abandoning darkness and turning to the light, seeking a way out, they follow Liu Yao wholeheartedly and wait for death. They are really hopeless!"
After Jin Zhun laughed, he said with an evil look on his face.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Jin Ming had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Since these Huns want to die, then don't stop them anymore!"
Jin Zhun said with great momentum.
"Immediately send an order to Chang'an City. No matter whether they are Huns, Jin people, Hus from the Western Regions, or other Qiang Hu, entry and exit are no longer prohibited. Anyone who wants to leave or enter the city is no longer prohibited!"
After hearing Jin Zhun's crazy decision, his two younger brothers were shocked.
"Brother, how can we do this? How many of us Huns will have to run away?"
Jin Ming felt that if this was the case, at least 30% of the Huns would have to escape.
"Yes, brother, the people outside the city are afraid of Liu Yao's robbery and killing and come in. They don't have much courage at all. If they are to defend the city, it will be of no use."
Jin Kang said anxiously.
When Jin Zhun heard this, he said without wavering.
"What are you afraid of? Open the door and let them come and go freely."
"According to my estimate, at most 30% of the Huns have left, and the remaining 60-70% are all with us!"
"Without those hidden repeaters, it will be more conducive to guarding Chang'an City!"
"Such a strong city is rarely defeated by external enemies. It is usually caused by internal troubles."
"Now that we have eliminated the internal troubles in advance, when Liu Yao leads his army, it will be even more secure."
Jin Zhun's words seemed to make sense, but brothers Jin Ming and Jin Kang were still uneasy.
As for what the uneasiness is, it is difficult to express.
"Moreover, the people outside the city are afraid of Liu Yao's tiger and wolf soldiers. Once they enter the city, they will definitely obey orders. This will increase their chances of winning."
When Jin Zhun said this, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"I remember that Gou Xi's headquarters is not far from Chang'an, right?"
"Gou Xi's headquarters is in Chuli." Jin Ming said.
"Gou Xi is a very famous general, so we must win over him!"
"Send someone quickly to summon Gou Xi to Chang'an. Even if I am willing to be his brother, Wanhu Hou and General Fang Zhen will never treat him badly."
Jin Zhun said immediately.
"But, okay, brother."
Jin Ming just wanted to express his disapproval. After all, Jin Zhun brothers had already defected to the Han Dynasty in Guandong, and Gou Xi's biological brother died at the hands of Liu Yu.
However, Jin Ming thought again, in this age of uncertainty about life and death, the mere love of a brother meant nothing.
Just shut up and stop mentioning it.
The next day.
Jin Zhun ordered the whole city to open the four city gates, allowing civilians and soldiers inside and outside to come and go freely without any obstruction.
After hearing this news, a large number of people without shelter outside the city poured into Chang'an City, so that the east gate with the largest number of people was blocked.
However, the Xiongnu, Qianghu and other soldiers and civilians in the city left the city in large numbers.
The number of people who left and the speed with which they left frightened both Jin Zhun brothers.
From the top of Chang'an's city gate, looking at the crowds pouring out, Jin Zhun's face turned livid.
"Brother, the houses in Shihuai Village are almost empty. There aren't many people left!" Jin Kang ran over panting and said.
Almost all the people living in Shihuaili area are the relocated Huns.
Some of Jin Zhun's generals live here.
This situation in Shihuaili is not an isolated case. There are many Huns gathering places, and almost half of them escaped in one day.
Everyone knows that the fight between Jin Zhun and Liu Yao, although it resembles the fight within the Huns, will never be a fight that can be settled happily.
In the end, one person will fall completely, and in this process, the casualties between the offense and defense of both sides will naturally fall on them.
In this case, it is better to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
"Brother, this is definitely not a 30-year-old boy. Now he has run away at least 40-50%!"
"If we keep going like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape!"
"Yes, brother, if all the men and horses are gone, it will be difficult to defend the city with only the Jin people."
"Those people, although there are many in number, may not be willing to serve them wholeheartedly."
Facing the noise of the two brothers Jin Kang and Jin Ming, Jin Zhun was already on the verge of rage.
"These idiots are so stupid!"
Jin Zhun looked at the large numbers of Xiongnu, Qiang and Hu soldiers and civilians pouring out of the city gate, and wished he could kill all those who had betrayed him.
"Brother, think of a solution quickly!" Jin Ming urged.
"Yes, brother, we can't let it go like this anymore. We should order the city gate to be closed quickly! If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will run away."
As Jin Kang spoke, he looked up at the city wall.
Except for Jin's tribe and confidants, the city wall defenders of Chang'an didn't know when they started, but there were already many fewer soldiers.
Without thinking too much, these Huns soldiers definitely slipped away.
Maybe, now he has run out of Chang'an City with his family.
