Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 865 Kowtow to Chang'an (Thirteen)

  Dark clouds were densely covered, and the sky seemed overcast as if the entire sky was about to overturn, making people's chest and heart feel extremely depressed.

"What? That person disappeared? Why didn't he disappear? Didn't I tell you to wait and watch? Why did you show me? Huh?" Early in the morning, Li Jue heard that Zhao Wen had disappeared when he was approaching Chang'an. I couldn't help but take the horsewhip angrily and whip the military marquis who was in charge of the follow-up several times.

  Junhou didn't dare to dodge, didn't dare to cry out for pain, he resisted forcefully, and didn't even dare to wipe the blood left on his bruised forehead. Junhou was also helpless, last night he saw that Zhao Wen was asleep in the carriage with his head covered, but when he looked again at dawn the next day, the carriage was already empty...

  Zhao Wen disappeared like a ghost, just like his inexplicable appearance.

Li Jue whipped him a few times, and his anger subsided a little. He also knew that even if this Junhou was hacked into pieces now, it would be impossible for Zhao Wen to reappear, so he yelled at Junhou: "Useless trash, **** off!"

  Guo Si frowned and said, "Once this person leaves... I'm in trouble..."

In addition to bringing them a large amount of food and grass, Zhao Wen also told them about the layout of Chang'an. Of course, these situations also helped Li Jue and Guo Si successfully attack the gate of Chang'an, and The scramble for the inner city of Chang'an began, and gradually approached the imperial city.

  But now that Zhao Wen is gone, he also brought the reality of Li Jue and Guo Si to the people in Chang'an. They are almost rushing to attack from a long distance now. In fact, whether it is the physical strength of the soldiers or the follow-up reinforcements, they are all shortcomings. Once the momentum of the attack is hindered, the tone between the soldiers relaxes, it is a precursor to a catastrophic defeat!

what to do?

  At this point, it is definitely impossible to retreat.

   But continue to attack the imperial city according to the original plan, so how will the defenders of those mausoleums behind their own buttocks resist the attack?

Although Zhao Wen patted his chest again and again, he vowed that the defenders in the Lingyi were under the control of the Hongnong Yang family and would not cross the Weishui River, so that Li Jue, Guo Si and others could rest assured, and even said that it was impossible to say at a critical moment He will also help Li Jue and others, etc., but now even Zhao Wen himself has disappeared, so how can Li Jue, Guo Si and others believe in the so-called guarantees before?

If Zhao Wen was still in the army, Li Jue and Guo Si would still feel somewhat at ease, but in the current situation, it seems that yesterday's allies are no longer so reliable, and the army near Weishui Lingyi is no longer likely to be theirs. Help, and there is a great possibility that they will become their opponents...

   "Weishui Bridge!" Guo Si said suddenly.

  The terrain of Chang'an is actually relatively familiar to Li Jue and Guo Si. Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are located on the Longshouyuan Highland in the south of Chang'an City. It may not be so easy to attack the Imperial City. Li Jue and Guo Si are not sure how long it will take them to take down the Imperial City. Door.

  The north-south traffic across the Weishui River, the channel through which the soldiers of Lingyi can pass is a bridge and a beach. The bridge is the Weishui Bridge to the south of Maoling, and the tidal flat is the Lingtan Ferry where the bullying is. But only the Weishui Stone Bridge on the south side of Maoling Mausoleum was wide and strong, even if Li Jue and Guo Si insisted on destroying it, they couldn't do anything.

   If the Weishui Bridge cannot be blocked, it means that the coalition forces of Li Jue, Guo Si and others may fall into a situation of being attacked by the North and the South!

  Send soldiers to the south side of the Weishui Bridge to block it?

   Not very realistic.

  Dividing too few troops is of no use at all, but if you divide too many, the city of Chang'an cannot be controlled, let alone attacking the imperial city. Wouldn't it be nothing in the end?

   Then what should we do?

Fan Cong led the vanguard to capture the city gate of Chang'an, and Hu Zhen brought the follow-up reinforcements to calculate the time and should have arrived in Chang'an. If the original plan was followed, Li Jue and Guo Si would arrive with troops and horses today at the latest Under the city of Chang'an, participate in the attack, and complete the final siege of the imperial city...

Although it is said that the plan will never keep up with the changes, Li Jue and Guo Si are not very talented people. After they suddenly received a large amount of military rations and Xiliang stragglers, they suddenly swelled up and did not think about it at all. What is the backup plan for the plan to attack Chang'an.

  Now when they suddenly find themselves facing a difficult decision, the two of them can't help but feel a little confused, and they can't think of a way out for a while...

   "Two generals..." From behind the ranks of the army, one man rode up with a few soldiers on horseback, and said with a smile, "...Why did the ranks slow down, but what happened?"

   "Wenhe!" Li Jue was overjoyed immediately, and laughed loudly and said, "Why are you here? Alas, these **** didn't come to report, and failed to welcome Wenhe, so it's really rude!"

   Jia Xu said with a faint smile: "Jia also arrived last night. Seeing that the two generals were in a difficult journey, they didn't let the soldiers disturb them... What's the matter, why didn't you enter Chang'an quickly?"

   "This..." Li Jue was a little embarrassed.

The plan to attack Chang'an did not involve Jia Xu, it was made by the two of them and Zhang Wen, and the intention to exclude Jia Xu before was also because he found that Jia Xu had more influence in the Xiliang Army than they seemed to have. If it is too strong, a letter can make Hu Zhen change his team. If Jia Xu continues to develop, maybe the two of them will be emptied by Jia Xu that day, and there is nothing they can do.

  So at that time Li Jue and Guo Si consciously didn’t want Jia Xu to be involved, but now there are problems with the plan they made without Jia Xu...

"Wenhe...this is like this..." Seeing Li Jue's embarrassment, Guo Si took over the conversation, explained it to Jia Xu, and then said, "...Wenhe has a good strategy. Even if I don't want my official position, I still want to fight for a bright future for Wenhe!"

   "Yes! It is a must to give Wen He the title of Lord Marquis!" Li Jue also patted his chest beside him.

Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said: "You two generals don't have to do this, this is a way to save your life, what merit is there? Besides, Jia is not in the court, he just hopes to return home safely, as for the official position as a marquis, it doesn't matter... "

  Li Jue and Guo Bang looked at each other, and then hurriedly said: "...Then, do you need brocade clothes when you return home? After taking Chang'an, Wenhe can take gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of treasures by himself..."

   "Hehe...that's fine..." Jia Xu smiled slightly, and finally nodded willingly to accept, Li Jue and Guo Sifang breathed a sigh of relief. From Li Jue and Guo Bang’s point of view, if Jia Xu doesn’t want anything, then they are really worried about the strategy Jia Xu said, and now that the interests are tied together, this can make Li Jue and Guo Bang feel more at ease .

   "It's just Weishuiqiaoer..." Jia Xu said with a smile, but there was a piercing coldness in the smile, "...how difficult is this? The two generals can do this..."
