Chapter 376 The rebels entered Chang'an
After Sui Yuan made up his mind, of course, he had to put it into action. And Li Dao's letter agreed with him that he would first raise a fire before opening the city gate. He didn't have to worry about the rest, and then he just opened the gates.
must secretly open the city gate, but Sui Yuan also knew that he thought it was good. And although it was night, it was almost impossible to secretly open the city gates, and it was bound to be discovered. But it doesn't really matter whether he is found or not, the important thing is that he must let Li Dao and them in tonight.
At this time, he suddenly thought of a solution, so he first picked up the torch and shook it clockwise three times at the head of the city. When the soldiers saw it, they didn't know what kind of ritual this was doing to their own guards, or what it was. They would never have thought that this was his code for communication with the rebels.
At this time, Tanma, who was ordered by Li Dao to stare at the head of Chang'an City, saw the signal and hurriedly entered the account to report.
"Report to the marshal, the head of Chang'an City has found a code!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
And the others were already ready, just waiting for Li Dao's order. At this time, in his tent, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were also there, so as soon as they heard Li Wei's order, they all went out of the tent to order their own troops.
Li Dao's side was busy attacking with the whole army, and Sui Yuan's side was already starting to earn the city gate.
He came to the soldiers who were in charge of opening and closing the gates, and said to them, "I have something to go out of the city tonight, so open the gates quickly, and there shall be no mistake!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they were quite embarrassed, because whether it was Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, they were all strictly ordered not to allow anyone to leave the city. But how can it be ...... at this time?
"The general has an order, no one is allowed to leave the city, I don't know ......"
Sui Yuan glared, and immediately thought about the words of the soldiers, and shouted: "You are afraid of General Zhang and them, aren't you afraid of me?" ”
When the soldier heard it, "This ......"
"I'm responsible for what happened, you just need to open the city gates!"
When the soldier heard this, he gritted his teeth, and the so-called "county officials are not as good as being in charge" seemed to the soldiers. Now General Zhang, General Cao, General Gao and others are not here, and at this time, there are only Sui Shou generals on the side of the city, so he asked to open the city gate and go out of the city, if he didn't listen, the consequences would be really serious.
Then the soldier said, "Open the gates!" ”
Several people hurriedly moved. Slowly opened the city gate, to say that the military discipline of the state army is definitely not like this. But the two armies have been on the offensive and defensive for a long time. Therefore, it is inevitable that the state army will be slack, slack, and as for any military regulations and military discipline, they will also leave it behind for the time being.
After all, this is an order from the guards, and besides, there is no enemy attacking now, and the city will be closed immediately after letting the Sui guards leave the city. What else could I do? But they would never have thought that this was Sui Yuan's plan to earn the city gate, and they didn't know that they were sold by him.
Just halfway through the opening of the city gate, Li Dao's army had actually begun to move. As a result, of course, the soldiers found out, "Enemy attack, guard, this ......"
"Quick, close the gates!"
"The enemy is attacking, and the rebels are coming!"
……
But at this time, it was too late to close the city gate, and I saw that Li Dao and their vanguard had already killed at the gate of the west gate of Chang'an City, and the soldiers who attacked the city gate directly knocked the city gate open with a big log.
Li Dao and they led the army into Chang'an City, if you want to say that the city gate is not easy to open, the moat is trivial. Directly take the ladder as a bridge, erect it on the moat, and then the soldiers all run over, this is the easiest way to cross the moat. And for Li Dao and their soldiers, they are not inexperienced recruits, so these are really trivial.
The soldiers defending the city in Chang'an saw that the rebels had already attacked, although many of them didn't know how the city gate was knocked open, but they did not hesitate, and they all started to kill the enemy with weapons.
After Sui Yuan saw Li Dao leading his troops into Chang'an, he shouted at Li Dao: "Li Dao Li Zhiran, I hope you can keep your promise!" ”
Then he shouted to the soldiers of the Bingzhou army: "I, Sui Yuan, am sorry for the brothers, tell General Zhang, I, Sui Yuan, can't stand him!" ”
After speaking, Sui Yuan directly wiped his neck with his ring knife and committed suicide.
And Li Dao saw this scene not far away, although he was hostile, he had to admit that this Sui Yuan was still a character. The ancients said, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma", so now he Sui Yuan is also in an extreme contradiction, since he chose his relatives, then he sold his robe, betrayed Zhang Liao, and betrayed Lu Bu, but now he Sui Yuan ended himself with such a death, which is to use this to give everyone an explanation.
Although Li Dao never felt that he was a good person, after seeing this scene, he originally wanted to kill Sui Yuan's wife and children, and he changed his mind at once.
Li Dao is from Beidi County, Liangzhou, he actually admires the man very much, and at this time he said to himself, "Although Sui Yuan died in Chang'an tonight, you are still a man of flesh and blood!" And although I, Li Dao, Li Zhiran, am not a hero, not a hero, and not a person who keeps his promises, but I am also willing to spare your wife and children's lives! Go in peace! ”
After talking to himself, he shouted: "Brothers, follow me into Chang'an and kill Wang Yun's villain!" ”
"Kill!"
The shouts of the soldiers shook the sky, especially in the dead of night, and the shouts were even more deafening.
The rebels entering the city are indeed unstoppable, mainly because there are too many people, and how can the soldiers and soldiers of Bingzhou be opponents. Without the barrier of the city, although their combat power is indeed a little higher than that of the rebels, the difference in strength is too great, so they are defeated and retreated by the rebels, and they can't resist at all-
In addition to the soldiers guarding the city, Zhang Liao can be regarded as the first person to know that the rebels entered the city. Because Zhang Liao is actually a very conscientious person, although he can't always inspect the city, but these days in Chang'an, he will basically go to the city twice a night to inspect it. The first time was an hour and a half after nightfall, and the second time was just before he rested. He will definitely go these two times.
Previously, Zhang Liao rushed to the city, because he was going to make his first inspection, but he found that the rebels had already entered the city. Zhang Liao reacted very quickly, he knew that he could not do anything, and now it was the general trend. Joke, don't look at the rebels, the strength has indeed lost a lot over the past few days, but now there must still be 1230,000 men and horses, and on their own, there are less than 10,000 men and horses. Even if you count the guards in the palace, it's not enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to stuff your teeth.
Unless Chang'an City can be used by all the soldiers, as well as the big families and wealthy businessmen, it is estimated that it will be possible to withstand the rebels entering the city for a while, but is this possible.
Zhang Liao reacted quickly. So he ordered the soldiers: "Quickly retreat to the east gate, and the whole army withdraws from Chang'an!" ”
The soldier listened. It's still General Zhang who knows the general trend. Knowing that the road is invincible, it is not the best policy to go.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao turned his horse's head and walked back, he didn't want to run away, but to send a letter to his lord. Zhang Liao understood his soldiers and told them to retreat. Although not all of them heard their orders, but this matter spread ten, ten to hundred, and they will all know the Tao soon. So the soldiers don't have to worry about it anymore.
Now what Zhang Liao is thinking about is Lu Bu, he knows too well what his lord's temper is, you have to say that hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the city, retreat quickly, maybe he will lead the troops to kill him immediately, and this is not impossible, it is too possible, so you can't say that at all. At this time, Zhang Liao had already thought of a way, as long as he said a word, his lord would definitely withdraw from Chang'an City.
To be honest, Zhang Liao was not wrong at all. Lu Bu is such a person, if you want him to retreat directly, he will probably have to come over with a halberd to kill the enemy immediately, and he has to say, I treat them like grass mustards, anyway, something like that. It's not that Lu Bu doesn't know the general trend, he knows that the road is dangerous, and he has to go up after the general trend has gone. It's just his character, he Lu Bu has been in the world for decades, and he has never known what it means to be afraid, there is nothing in the world that he does not dare to do, there is nothing he is afraid of.
If he's really worried, it's only his family, so this is his weakness.
Sure enough, Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu halfway through, and he said, "Slow down!" ”
When Lu Bu saw that Zhang Liao was blocking him, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Does Wen Yuan want to stop me?" ”
Zhang Liao shook his head slowly, "The lord is confused! Now that the rebels are strong, our army is invincible, so it is natural to retreat. And with the Lord's force, there are only more than 100,000 people, which is naturally not a problem, but now is not the time to be reckless, the Lord should not forget, the Lord Mother and Miss are still in Chang'an at this time, and they need the Lord to personally protect and withdraw from Chang'an! ”
Lu Bu's weakness was caught by Zhang Liao, he forgot about his wife and daughter when his mind was hot before, he didn't remember, in fact, he didn't come from home, but came out of the palace, before Liu Xie specially summoned Lu Bu into the palace. So I temporarily forgot that my family was also in Chang'an, and then I remembered.
So at this time, when I heard what Zhang Liao said, it really made sense. Of course, Lu Bu didn't think that he could kill back an army of more than 100,000 by himself, but he felt that he could at least rush and kill once, and then retreat, which could be regarded as being able to resist some rebels for the soldiers of Bingzhou. But now it's impossible, his wife and daughter have to be protected by themselves to withdraw from Chang'an, and they killed him Dong Zhongying's old husband, the rebels have long regarded themselves as the number one enemy, they have nothing to do with themselves, but they will not let go of their wives and children.
"What Wen Yuan said is even, if it is not Wen Yuan, Bu almost missed a big thing! Let's go, retreat! ”
Of course, Lu Bu is simply, there is no way, his family is in Chang'an, so he can't care so much, so he can only hurry up and retreat with his wife and daughter.
When Zhang Liao saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The heart said, it's okay, it's okay, fortunately, the housewife and the young lady are in Chang'an, otherwise it would be really difficult to do. (To be continued......)
