It is really a pity that if Guo Ziyi did not fall into the ambush and continued to harass, Yang Su might not be able to return to Chang'an in time. At least, he would definitely lose a large part of his troops.
Because just half a day after Yang Su arrived in Chang'an, the 30,000 vanguard cavalry led by Feng Yi and Chang Yuchun had already reached the city of Chang'an with Su Lie's main army.
After Bai Qi and Su Lie received the news that the Xiang clan in Jingnan had launched an army, they also keenly guessed that their lord Li Xiang would definitely send a large portion of his troops to support them.
Out of concern for their lord's safety, Bai Qi and Su Lie ordered Feng Yi and Chang Yuchun to lead the cavalry and set off first.
After Feng Yi and Chang Yuchun discovered that Yang Su's army had returned to Chang'an, they already knew that Yang Su could no longer pose a threat to their lord Li Xiang. Therefore, the two men did not continue to set off, but stayed temporarily.
They were stationed fifty miles away from Chang'an City.
This time, the goal of their entire army is Chang'an City, and all armies will gather here. Therefore, they only need to wait here for the arrival of all armies.
Three days later, Li Xiang led 45,000 troops to Chang'an, and ten days later, Bai Qi and Su Lie also arrived in Chang'an. From then on, the battle of Chang'an was imminent.
As long as Li Xiang can capture Chang'an, then all places in Guanzhong and wherever the iron hoof passes will inevitably open their doors and surrender, and there is no need for Li Xiang to send troops to attack.
After the various armies arrived in Chang'an, Li Xiang did not immediately launch an siege. Instead, he first observed Chang'an's defenses, looking for loopholes in the enemy's defense, while waiting for the siege equipment from the rear to arrive at the front.
After all, Chang'an was the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty would not ignore the defense here. Chang'an City has high walls and thick walls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. And with Yang Su's smooth return, the defenders were absolutely sufficient.
In terms of food and fodder, Yang Jian had already prepared enough to supply Chang'an for a year. If Li Xiang had not made adequate preparations, attacking the city would be child's play.
When Yang Su's troops evacuated, there were originally nearly 110,000 troops. However, during Guo Ziyi's attack, although the casualties were not large, three hundred this time and five hundred next time were not a few in total.
In addition, Guo Ziyi defeated 4,000 cavalry in the last battle. In the end, Yang Su led an army of 100,000 people back to Chang'an. Among these 100,000 troops, there were a total of 60,000 elites, and the remaining 40,000 were weak.
County soldiers.
In addition, there are still 10,000 defeated troops of Zhang Xutuo and Zuo Tiancheng in Chang'an City, as well as the original 10,000 defenders in Chang'an City.
Therefore, there are now a total of 120,000 defenders in Chang'an City. In addition, there are 50,000 strong men summoned by Yang Jian in Chang'an. However, these 50,000 men do not participate in the battle, but only assist in transporting soldiers, armor, weapons, and radium.
Stones, rolling wood and other defensive materials.

"Are you willing to surrender?" Li Xiang sat on the main seat in the tent and asked calmly.
At this time, the generals led by Bai Qi and Su Lie were arranged on both sides of the tent. In the center of the generals, Ma Teng, Ma Yuan, Ma Xiong, Ma Kui, Ma Wu, and Ma formed a series of captured generals of the Ma family kneeling.
In the center.
In this battle, Bai Qi and Su Lie indeed made great achievements. Not only did they join forces to capture Liangzhou, they also captured three of the three princes in Liangzhou.
When all the armies gathered in Chang'an, Li Xiang thought about how to deal with the prisoners of this battle. Now is the time of the war, and these people can be used. By the way, I would also like to supplement the situation after Li Cunxiao and others were transferred.
There is a partial combat capability gap.
Generals like Xin Yongfeng, Xin Wenli, Xinyue'e, etc. are not in a hurry to come to protect their children. After all, Yang Jian has not been completely destroyed. I am afraid these people will not surrender easily while the old master is still alive. And Fu Jian's subordinates
Zhang Hao had already been persuaded to surrender by Deng Qiang, so there was no need for Li Xiang to continue to trouble him.
But it was time to deal with these generals of the Ma family. And these generals of the Ma family were the biggest gain for Li Xiang in this battle.
"Stop me, I really think you, Grandpa Ma, are afraid of death..." Ma Kui, who has a loud personality, took the lead in scolding him. However, just as he was about to speak, Kuafu slapped him to the ground. Kuafu slapped him to the ground.
He stepped on Ma Kui's mouth, forcing Ma Kui to hold back everything he wanted to say.
"You are looking for death!" Yang Dayan, Wei Bi, Jia Fu, Luo Cheng, Jiang Song and other generals all looked at the Ma family with murderous intent. The Lord humiliated his ministers to death, but these prisoners of the rank dare to be so wanton.
If Li Xiang hadn't spoken, all the generals would have rushed forward and tore these Ma family members alive.
If he had just been reborn and had such a large group of talents in front of him, Li Xiang would naturally have to give full play to his courtesy and corporal attitude. As for Ma Kui, what does it matter if he is scolded a few times? What if he is scolded a few times?
In exchange for three peerless peak-level warriors, it is already worth it.
However, now that Li Xiang is already the number one prince in the world with hundreds of thousands of troops, it is no longer appropriate for him to be scolded by Ma Kui and still try to persuade him. Otherwise, Huang Feihu, Huang Tianhua, and Niu Mo will have to fight for thousands of miles.
What do you think of the generals who come to serve?
Moreover, to be honest, although the people in the Ma family are good, with the talent lineup under Li Xiang, these people have not reached the point where they are absolutely necessary. The reason why they still want to persuade them to surrender is just that they don’t want to waste it!
"Bai Qi, I heard that Ma Teng and Fu Jian's son escaped?" Li Xiang glanced coldly at Ma Kui who was trampled on the ground, and suddenly asked Bai Qi on one side.
"The general is not doing his job well!" Although he didn't know what Li Xiang meant, Bai Qi took the lead and took the blame.
"It's okay, but if a dozen people escape, they won't be able to change the world!" Li Xiang said indifferently, and did not take the escape of Ma Chao, Fu Pi and others to heart. Of course, with Li Xiang's current strength, he also has enough capital.
Don't take these people to heart.
"Fu Jian should have many relatives, right? Have these people been captured?" Li Xiang asked casually again. In the big account, the generals heard that Li Xiang had just tried to persuade everyone in the Ma family to surrender, but just like this they
The topic shifted to Fu Jian, and everyone was confused.
"They have all been taken into custody by our army!" Although he could not guess what Li Xiang meant, Bai Qi still stepped forward cautiously and replied.
When Fu Jian was implanted with his identity, he already had many local relatives, and the talents of the Fu family who were born one after another would naturally marry and have children. Therefore, Fu Jian's relatives are far more than just those who have a balanced system.
.
And it was impossible for all of these people to escape. Most of them were captured by Bai Qi, and only a dozen people escaped between Ma Teng and Fu Jian.
