"Lord, the situation in the city is becoming increasingly unstable..." Yang Shiqi explained to Yang Jian the situation in Chang'an City in the past few days with a bitter expression.
Under Li Xiang's psychological tricks and the secret instigation of Floating Water Fang, the panic in the hearts of the people became more and more serious, fearing that they would be robbed of all their money and food like the previous group of people, and then He was driven out of the city by the Sui army.
As for some Sui troops in the city, although there were only a few of them, after what happened before, these Sui troops extended their claws to other people. With their previous experiences and the last time they plundered people's money, this group of people set their sights on other people.
Although Yang Jian promptly ordered people to deal with this part of the Sui army and beheaded hundreds of people at once to maintain military discipline, the actions of these people undoubtedly once again aggravated the people's panic.
Moreover, under the instigation of thoughtful people, there have been several small-scale conflicts between the people and the army in the past few days.
However, under the current situation, Yang Jian could not do anything to these people, and he did not even dare to punish them too severely. Otherwise, this will only further intensify the conflict with the people. If the situation in Chang'an City is really chaotic and out of control, the only one who will be happy in the end and benefit is the Jin army.
Moreover, in order to deal with matters within the city, troops have been mobilized from the city wall several times, so that the defense strength of the city wall has now dropped a lot.
As for those so-called thoughtful people, although Yang Jian arrested a lot of them through design, they were all low-level or peripheral members, and their impact on the other party was really limited.
"This is Li Zifeng's vicious plan!" Yang Jian clapped his fist and said angrily.
In the past few days, Yang Jian was really worried about the situation in Chang'an City. So much so that it was already midnight, but Yang Jian was still discussing with a group of counselors how to resolve these matters in Chang'an City.
"Report, my lord, that Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Zhang Jun, Li Su and other generals have rebelled and attacked the east city gate!" A messenger suddenly ran in and said hurriedly.
"These people finally took the bait!" When Yang Jian heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.
After the Yang Xuangan incident, Yang Jian naturally stepped up his defenses against such situations. Therefore, when he discovered that Dong Yue and others were abnormal, Yang Jian did not take immediate action. Instead, he sat back and watched these people collude with each other. If we wait until all these people are lured out before taking action, we can catch them all in one fell swoop.
And these people's attack on Dongmen was indeed within the expectations of Yang Jian and Gao Jiong. In addition to losing Yang Su, the general who commanded the army, Yang Jian could only promote Yang Jian for the time being.
However, although Yang Jian was recognized as the most powerful general in the Sui army, his ability to command troops was far from comparable to that of Yang Su. In the absence of other qualified generals, Yang Jian could only send Chang Yizhi, who had played a major role in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, as Yang Jian's general to assist him.
In fact, among the Sui armies, it was not that there were generals whose ability to command troops was superior to that of Yang Jian. However, these people currently do not have enough positions, so it is impossible to directly promote them to a high level, or even surpass Yang Jian to become the general of the East Gate.
Therefore, the East Gate at this time was indeed a relatively weak link in the Sui army's defense line. After all, Yang Jian and other fierce generals had to prepare to deal with those fierce generals of the Jin army to prevent them from scaling the city wall.
"Lord, six thousand soldiers have mutinied!" Another messenger hurriedly came to report the news.
Previously, Yang Jian summoned 50,000 strong men, but he did not let these 50,000 people directly participate in the defense of the city for the time being. Instead, he asked them to be responsible for transporting city defense materials such as soldiers and armor, thunder stones, and rolling logs. Of course, if it comes to the last moment, it is not certain whether Yang Jian will allow these people to participate in the war.
These elites are all natives of Chang'an. The conflicts between the people of Chang'an City and the Sui army will naturally greatly affect them. Under the provocation of the floating house, tonight, some of the strength finally broke out. This is because Yang Jian has strict control, otherwise, more than just a few people would be provoked.
"Order Pei Sui to lead troops to quell it immediately!" Yang Jian was not worried about the rioting six thousand elites. These six thousand elites, which sounds nice to say, are called elites, but in fact they are just ordinary people.
With the fighting power of these six thousand people, they couldn't make any big waves at all. Yang Jian could easily wipe them out. What Yang Jian was really worried about was the problems exposed behind this.
Outside the east gate city, Li Xiang was commanding the army to launch a fierce attack, striving to break the city in one fell swoop.
In the East Gate City, Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Zhang Jun, Li Su and other generals and their gathered manpower were also experiencing some desperate struggles.
In the early stage, everything went smoothly in the plans of Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Zhang Jun, Li Su and others. They all had the same goal and were ready to rebel against Yang Jian and find a new master for themselves. After all, Yang Jian's boat was about to capsize, and for the sake of their own lives, they had to find a way to get on another boat.
After that, they also successfully contacted the Jin army and agreed to break the city in one fell swoop tonight. But when the operation officially started tonight, they discovered that their previous small actions had already fallen into Yang Jian's sight.
They had just arrived at the east city gate with hundreds of close followers, preparing to launch a surprise attack. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they opened the city gate and let the Jin army enter the city. But at that moment, nearly a thousand men and horses came out from the streets on the left and right, catching Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Zhang Jun, Li Su and other generals by surprise.
Although it was obvious that something was seriously wrong, Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Zhang Jun, Li Su and other generals did not just surrender, but chose to fight to the death.
Things have reached such a point that they have no choice but to go to the dark side. Anyway, even if they were willing to surrender, there was absolutely no way Yang Jian would be willing to let them go.
Outside the East Gate City, he saw that the city gate had not been opened for a long time. Although he was disappointed, he could not help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had made other preparations and did not put all his hopes on Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Zhang Jun, Li Su and others.
In the direction of West City Gate.
Bai Qi also launched a fierce attack at the same time. Yang Lin was so shocked that he immediately tried his best to deal with Bai Qi's attack.
After actually facing Bai Qi, Yang Lin discovered that in fact, his knowledge of the art of war was far from perfect. After the daily battles, Yang Lin's side always suffered the most casualties, while his opponent Bai Qi had the smallest casualties among the several Jin armies.
Therefore, among the four generals of the Sui Army, Yang Lin has always been under the greatest pressure. Yang Lin, who concentrated all his energy to face Bai Qi's attack, had no energy at all but was thinking about other things, and did not realize that the crisis was about to come.
