Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 870 The collapse of the great man (1)

   "Dare to ask where Situ is?" Lu Bu raised his head and called up from the gate of the imperial city.

Lu Bu sprained his ankle. Although he took care of it briefly, it was still red and swollen. It was so swollen that he couldn't even put on his combat boots, let alone walk on the ground. Naturally, he couldn't step on the stirrups. He could only bare one foot. He rode on a red rabbit horse, and tied it to the side with a rope.

At this time, Li Jue, Guo Si and the others had already poured into Chang'an City, and they were starting to surround those who hadn't escaped from Beidifang, or they kept a trace of fantasy, and locked their house door tightly, as if they could stay out of it. those court officials.

With the massive increase of Xiliang soldiers, the one or two hundred soldiers gathered close to Lu Bu could no longer resist the tide of Xiliang soldiers, let alone fight them back. He retreated until he reached the road ahead of the imperial city in front of Weiyang Palace.

  Big Han Situ, Wang Yun's figure was exposed on the palace wall, looked at Lu Bu below, and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

The red rabbit horse was kicking restlessly, turning in a small circle, and Lu Bu had to follow in a circle, while raising his head and replied: "The city is extremely chaotic! The soldiers have no command! There will be no sense of proportion! The second door! Coming here!"

  Hearing Lu Bu's account of the situation in the city, the imperial guards above the imperial city couldn't help but riot.

These forbidden soldiers of the imperial city wear shiny armor every day, guarding the imperial city with arrogance and arrogance. They also look down on the frontier soldiers who come and go in the wind and snow on weekdays, and even feel that they are ordinary compared to Chang'an City. The soldiers patrolling the city, those who rely on the city gate to eat and carry the goods of the common people are much more noble, but now when they heard that such a group of villains appeared in Chang'an City, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

  Wang Yun's hand trembled uncontrollably, and then immediately asked: "Where are the soldiers in Lingyi?"

   "I haven't seen it!" Lu Bu said loudly, "A certain person is willing to be a pioneer! Please send troops to the city to put down the rebellion!"

Although Lu Bu can be sure that not all the soldiers in the city were killed by Xiliang soldiers, but the soldiers in the city have no organization, no command, no assembled battle formation, and there is no way to fight these more and more soldiers. Xiliang's soldiers are fighting against each other, so they can only find the imperial city where the soldiers are still intact.

"This..." Wang Yun looked back at the Forbidden Army of the imperial city on the left and right, but found that these soldiers who usually held their heads high and looked like a proud big rooster were shrinking like quails one by one. The commanders of the forbidden army lowered their heads, as if they wanted to dig a hole in the ground immediately and get in.

  Wang Yun's heart seemed to have sunk into an ice cellar.

  The soldiers have no morale, and the generals have no blood and courage. Even if this soldier goes out of the imperial city to face the battle, what chance will he have of winning?

  And from another perspective, the forbidden army stayed on the imperial city, relying more or less on the city wall and the **** of the Longshouyuan, it can still be guarded for a period of time, but if the forbidden army is sent out...

  Is this Lu Bu worthy of entrusting himself completely?

   "Wen Hou, the forbidden army in the city guards the second palace, and they are not allowed to leave without permission!" Wang Yun said to Lu Bu, "There are soldiers in Jianzhang Palace in the west of the city, you can send them to help!"

Because the city of Chang'an was too small, some palaces were unable to meet the walking needs of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Jianzhang Palace was built in the western suburbs outside Chang'an City of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In order to travel from Weiyang Palace to Jianzhang Palace Conveniently, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even made the world's first overpass, which can go directly from Weiyang Palace to Jianzhang Palace, which is called Feige Chariot Road...

Later, it was destroyed in the flames of war due to the Wang Mang Rebellion. Although it was later rebuilt with funds successively allocated by the Liu family, but because it did not have the same royal significance as Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, the construction of Jianzhang Palace stopped. , stop and build, has not been fully completed. But after all, it is a royal palace, so there are hundreds of soldiers on duty there.

  It’s just a few hundred soldiers...

   Lu Bu was almost dumbfounded.

   "There are few soldiers in Jianzhang Palace, how can we resist the bandits?" Lu Bu raised his head, making the last effort, "...If not, let someone enter the city by opening the door, and defend the city together!"

Wang Yun still shook his head. The gates of the imperial city are not like the gates of ordinary people, which can be opened with the next latch. Not to mention the three-story thick gate latches, in order to ensure that the gates of the imperial city will not be easily knocked open. The soldiers of the city have already reinforced a lot of gate brackets behind the gate, and even placed repelling horse antlers and other things on the passage of the gate, blocking the gate opening tightly.

   Could it be that for the sake of Lu Bu outside the city and the one or two hundred soldiers who came from nowhere, all the preparations were removed before opening the city gate?

  While Wang Yun was hesitating, he suddenly saw dozens of soldiers rushing over from Zhangtai Street!

   Lu Bu was also shocked, and turned around quickly to meet the enemy, but he never thought that it was not Xiliang soldiers who came, but Zhang Liao and Gao Shun rushed over with some remnants...

"Wen Hou!" Zhang Liao carried a long spear, not even a horse, and followed the pawns. There was still blood dripping from the red tassel on the top of the spear, obviously after a while of fighting. , "The city is in chaos! The thieves have approached Beidifang! They are searching and arresting hundreds of officials and their families in the city! We have charged and killed several times, but there are so many thieves, we really can't get through!"

   "What?!" Lu Bu's home is in Beidifang, and there are Yan Shi and others at home.

Wang Yun, who was standing on the palace wall, was relieved to see that it was not an enemy army, but the sudden appearance of Zhang Liao and others also gave him a wake-up call. Fortunately, it was Zhang Liao and others who came this time. After passing through the gate of the imperial palace, will it still be friendly troops?

   "The gate of the palace is locked! Do not open it lightly! Wait warmly and go to Jianzhang Palace!"

  Wang Yun waved his hand high and high to Lu Bu, the wind blowing from the sky above Chang'an City tore away his wide sleeves, revealing a slack and old arm...

   "Situ! Wang Situ..."

   Lu Bu raised his head and shouted, but saw that Wang Yun had shrunk his head back from the palace wall, and stopped answering his words.

   "Hou Wen?" Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu worried.

Gao Shun took a step forward and said: "Wenhou, why don't Wenhou go to Jianzhang Palace first, and bring some people to Beidifang, even if he sacrifices his life, he must protect Wenhou's family members! "

Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's painted halberd in the air in pain, and Fang Tian's painted halberd let out a shrill scream, as if it was the cry of an evil spirit under the Nine Netherworld, "...No! Let's go! Let's go to Jianzhang Palace together !"

   "Wenhou!" Gao Shun waited to persuade.

   "I said go to Jianzhang Palace!" Lu Bu roared, and after the roar, he took the lead in riding his horse.

   Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other, but they could only helplessly follow Lu Bu to the direction of Jianzhang Palace...
