Chapter 264

In the battle between pound and niufu, there were 7000 soldiers in Chang'an City, more than 1500 were killed, and more than 600 were seriously injured, unable to fight. Pound captured 700 soldiers outside the city and fled hundreds. Now, there are less than 5000 soldiers left in the city. If you include the 2000 soldiers stationed at Tongguan, there are still 7000.

However, Niu Fu could not mobilize the garrison at Tongguan in any case. After all, the total number was only 2000. It was very difficult to defend Tongguan. In case the enemy reinforcements arrived and attacked Tongguan for a long time, Chang'an would become an isolated city.

In fact, Jia Xu believed that although the victory and defeat last night were disastrous, the morale of the enemy was low. If Niu Fu could gather the garrison at Tongguan and attack pound with 7000 steps, he would still win.

However, in this way, Tongguan defense line is in vain, in case of any basket, Niu Fu can not explain to his father-in-law.

What's more, Niu Fu asked pound to sweep off his helmet with a spear yesterday, and he almost lost his life. He had no intention of making contributions and had no courage to carry out Jia Xu's plan.

Therefore, Jia Xu was very sensible and did not even mention it. Instead, he suggested Niu Fu write a letter to Dong Zhuo, suggesting that Prime Minister Dong immediately send a large army to Chang'an early to suppress Yongliang and prevent Liu Ye from attacking the east of Tongguan.

Niu Fu immediately wrote a letter. At the beginning, he focused on describing his "feigning surrender" to defeat the enemy. However, he was in short supply. He hoped that Dong Zhuo would send more reinforcements. At the same time, under the guidance of Jia Xu, he also described the importance of Chang'an and Yongliang prefectures to Dong Zhuo, and Liu ye might besiege Chang'an at any time.

The messenger went east and left Tongguan. Then Jia Xu and Niu Fu stayed together in Chang'an, enjoying a rare quiet time.

At the same time, pound, who was nearly half injured and seriously damaged in morale, did not dare to attack Chang'an any more, but played an autumn wind on the surrounding counties and counties.

Iron cavalry came and went like wind, and many cities had not yet responded. Liangzhou iron horse's hooves had stepped into the city. While pound seized the official seals and grain, pound waited for Liu Ye's army to arrive.

It can be said that niufu and pound are like the French and German forces in the battle of Waterloo, forming a stalemate balance. Which side's reinforcements are the first to arrive, which side will win the advantage or even decisive victory.

The tenth day of July, evening.

Liu Ye, commander in chief of 19000 troops, arrived in the outskirts of Chang'an city with Zhang jayu, Guan Hai, Xun you and other civil and military generals.

Although the huge city of Chang'an is not close yet, we can see the high outline of the city wall from afar, and a burst of simple and desolate atmosphere diffuses.

Liu Ye firmly said: "if we can capture Chang'an City this time, we should immediately support the son of heaven to reset here and revive the great man!"

When Xun you heard Liu Ye's words, he couldn't help laughing: "Gaozu Chu and Han fought for hegemony in Xingyang to defeat the overlord in the East, and established Chang'an as the capital. It was said that Emperor Guangwu led the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai to turn the tide back, and set up the Han Dynasty in Luoyang. Now it has lasted for nearly 200 years. If Zhou mu can revive the Han Dynasty in Chang'an, it will be more powerful It's going to be a story that will last forever. "

One side of Zhang jaw couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Gongda's words are reasonable. Since Emperor Guangwu was able to turn the tide back 200 years ago, Zhou mu can also revive the Han Dynasty and support the king of Hongnong."

Liu Ye laughs, but compared with other dynasties, the vitality of the Han Dynasty is indeed very strong. Originally, after 200 years of Western Han Dynasty, a Wang Mang was born and saw that the Han Dynasty was about to be extinct. As a result, Emperor Guangwu was born and forced to extend the life of the Han Dynasty by 200 years in the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Not to mention that, in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms fought for hegemony, Liu Bei, the founder of Shu Han, was also a descendant of Liu family. If Zhuge Liang's northern expedition was successful, it would not be surprising that the Han Dynasty would be extended for another 200 years.

Therefore, the call for the revival of the Han Dynasty also disappeared and then rose. Among the Sixteen Kingdoms of Wu Hu, Liu Cong and Liu Yuan established the former Zhao. Although they were Huns, they had the blood of the princess of the Han Dynasty. They were half Han people.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye can't help but shake his fist. In the darkest era of Han nationality, he let himself be expelled completely.

"March! Join pound immediately. "

At the command of Liu Ye, the army of 19000 rolled forward.

……

"Lord, pound is incompetent. He has lost more than 2000 soldiers. He has been entrusted by him."

In the big tent of the Chinese army, pound fell to his knees and said with shame.

"Let Lingming rise, but how did Lingming fail?" Liu Ye frowns. He sees Pound's bravery with his own eyes. In addition to Lv Bu, Li Gui, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and fan Hou, Liu Ye is afraid that no one is pound's opponent. Therefore, he is quite curious.

Pound said with shame: "I'm ashamed, the enemy will be cunning. After the end of his camp in the outskirts of Chang'an, the enemy will send a man to pretend to be a descendant of Gaozu at night. He said that he resented the bandit Dong Zhuo for abolishing the son of heaven, and was cruel and unjust, so he was willing to open the door to offer sacrifices to the city at night."

"The last general tried him out and believed him. He didn't know it was a trap. After entering the city, the enemy cut off the city gate by fire attack. At the end of the day, the headquarters were divided into two parts and were besieged by the enemy. It was not easy to get rid of the trap.""Who is the enemy leader?" Liu Ye asked suspiciously

"The main general of the enemy is a cattle assistant."

Liu Ye's expression is even more wonderful when he hears this. Although he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru and Niu Fu are quite different. Li Ru has offered countless suggestions for Dong Zhuo's accession to Luoyang and is highly respected. Niu Fu is weak in character. He finally hears that Dong Zhuo was killed by Lv Bu and dare not avenge Dong Zhuo. Finally, he is killed by his subordinates.

Is this Niu Fu still a powerful figure who didn't have time to perform in his previous life?

"It's strange that Niu Fuping didn't show any talent, but Li Ru was so alert and reasonable." Xun you on one side frowned and shook his head gently.

Xun youjiu knew a lot of information when he was in Beijing. After Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, he also inquired about Dong Zhuo's generals. He knew that Niu Fu had no achievements. Therefore, Dong Zhuo had been idle in Hedong Anyi. If Liu Ye hadn't sent troops to attack Chang'an, he didn't know when Dong Zhuo would have thought of this son-in-law.

"No problem. According to Lingming, the enemy should also be injured. As long as our army attacks Tongguan, Chang'an will be just a lonely city, and it will be easy to capture it." Liu Ye waved his hand.

"Gongda, what do you have in mind?" Liu Ye asked.

Xun you said: "you can order soldiers to dig trenches, limit the enemy out of the city, slowly map it."

In general, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp or escaping, a circle of trench will be excavated outside the city to restrict the enemy from leaving the city.
