Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 908 Chaos in Chang'an (4)

  Bringing Ma Teng and Han Sui, the leaders of the big and small Qiang people, they hurried all the way to attack Chang'an, but they had to stop in front of Wuzhangyuan and set up camp.

   Because it is here in Wuzhangyuan, Fan Chou stationed here with soldiers and horses.

Wuzhangyuan is a flat plateau that rises high and presents a ladder shape. It is located in the south of the Weishui River, about 50 feet above the Weishui River. In the shape of a pipa musical instrument, the east side is the Wugong Water, which is the oblique water. It is adjacent to the Weishui River in the north, a ditch as deep as ten feet in the west, and the shallow Qinling Mountains in the south, where the famous inclined valley enters the mountain.

  Not far from Wuzhangyuan, is the original Meiwu that Dong Zhuo re-used a million laborers to build.

  Fan Chou chose to camp here, with obvious intentions, relying on the terrain of Wuzhang Plain, to resist Ma Teng and Han Sui and his party here.

  Sometimes the simple solution is more difficult to crack.

  The Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an is not a whole piece of flat land, at least it is the case here in Wuzhangyuan. No matter who seizes this terrain first, it is very difficult to attack.

   is tricky.

   Ma Teng and Han Sui sat on horseback, looking at the camp on the Wuzhang Plain, they couldn't help but smiled wryly at each other.

They didn't waste much time coming this way, but after all, they still came from a long distance, and there was still a gap in the distance between Xiliang soldiers like Chang'an, so they couldn't grab this crucial terrain. Li Guo and the others were considered normal, but this Wuzhang Plain, with its height difference and three sides of cliffs that went straight up and down, was really not easy to attack.

  With the terrain of Wuzhangyuan, there is a water source next to it, so whether it is a siege or a strong attack, if it is really going to be fought, it must be a protracted war of attrition.

How long Fan Chou can stick here depends on how much food and grass Fan Chou carries. Although there are not many towns around Wuzhangyuan, the problem is that there is not far behind Wuzhangyuan, and there is also Meiwu, Ma Teng and Han Sui. Be sure to say how much money and food and soldiers there are in Meiwu...

Of course, Ma Teng and Han Sui also believed that Fan Chou would not stay here forever, because no matter what, even if the grain and grass were transferred from Meiwu, it was impossible to obtain one or two again, and now it was a long time before the autumn harvest. There are still about half a year left. To defend here, it is natural to consume a lot of food and grass. Once the food and grass are exhausted, Fan Chou has no choice but to retreat.

   But the problem is that Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't bring much food and grass...

   Unless it is plagiarized everywhere.

But the problem is once looting, one is equivalent to enmity with these people in Guanzhong. On the other hand, there are not many counties and townships around that can provide looting. The less you plunder, the more you will eventually collapse.

  Fan Chou camped on the Wuzhang Plain. Ma Teng and Han Sui were not easy to attack, and they were reluctant to give up the capital, but they were unwilling to retreat. They came all the way, how could they go back empty-handed?

   They had no choice but to set up a camp a little farther away from Wuzhangyuan, about forty miles away from Wuzhangyuan. Ma Teng and Han Sui could only hope to find a solution in the shortest possible time.

  The two sides have been deadlocked here for a while...

  ********************

  In Chang'an City, the relationship between Li Jue and Guo Si seems to have begun to stalemate...

As early as when Li Jue and Guo Si joined forces, there was no distinction between high and low, but the coalition. This kind of Xiliang Group joint-stock cooperative company in the Han Dynasty each accounted for 50%. It can be regarded as working together and working hard to forge ahead, but now, just like the common situation in later generations, for the sake of who is stronger, they have begun to seem incompatible.

  The reason is that Jia Xu asked Han Emperor Liu Xie to sign and seal it, and the imperial edict for the appointment of officials was released hotly.

  Li Jue won the Chariot General, but what about Guo Bang?

  After the general.

   One level worse.

   But why is it one level behind?

   This became the obsession in Guo Bang's heart. Although it didn't appear directly on the surface, it actually muttered in his stomach for countless times.

   They are also Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and even Niu Fu's subordinates, but why are they one level behind?

  But after all, there are still foreign enemies coming back. Although Guo Si was dissatisfied, he still restrained himself and did not directly explode...

  ********************

  In Ba Ling, Zhong Shao's government office, the opinions of Ma Yu, the servant, and Liu Fan, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, are also at a stalemate with each other.

  Chong Shao was famous when he was young, and when Dong Zhuo was in power, he was often recruited, and he was even prepared to go to Yizhou as the governor, but Zhong Shao didn't go in the end.

  Now seeing the situation in Chang'an City, Zhong Shao found his good friends Ma Yu and Liu Fan to discuss together, and planned to attack Li Jue and Guo Bang and other Xiliang soldiers who made trouble.

  Ma Yu is a descendant of Ma Fubo, and he is somewhat related to Ma Teng. Therefore, after Ma Yu learned that Ma Teng and Han Sui led the troops, he felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

But Liu Fan has a different idea. He thinks that although Ma Teng has a so-called honest reputation in Xiliang, he still belongs to Xiliang. effect?

   Liu Fan is the son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.

As a feudal official who was enfeoffed during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, it is a custom to keep his son in the court and the opposition as a hostage. Therefore, Liu Fan and his brothers Liu Dan and Liu Zhang stayed in Luoyang, and later also Followed Han Emperor Liu Xie and came to Chang'an together.

   And beside Liu Yan, only Liu Mao entered Sichuan.

  As a proton, it is also to appease Liu Yan's heart. There are still some personal guards to some extent, which makes him one of the few people in Chang'an City who still have some force.

  Liu Fan's opinion is that Huxiong Zhonglang Jiang Feiqian is more suitable.

  Although it is spread in Chang'an that Yang Biao and Fei Qian said they want to send troops to the Qing Dynasty, but Yang Biao is in Hongnong, and if he wants to go from Hongnong to Chang'an, there is a checkpoint that he has to pass, and that is Tongguan.

  In case Li Guo and others send troops to guard Tongguan, then Yang Biao will not be able to threaten Chang'an before the Tongguan soldiers are wiped out for at least a while.

   But Feiqian in Diaoyin is different. Diaoyin belongs to Shangjun, and from Diaoyin down the Luoshui River is Zuo Fengling, who can directly press Chang'an with his army.

   Zhong Shao also hesitated.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are close at hand, and there are a lot of troops. It is indeed good if they can be used as a help. However, compared with Xiliang people, Fei Qian's identity is more trustworthy. Yin was originally dilapidated, and Shangjun was also weak. It is hard to say how many soldiers there are even if Fei Qian, the general of Huxiong Zhonglang, led the army in accordance with the righteousness...
