In Jingzhou, Da'er was so powerful that in less than half a month after arriving in Xiangyang, he had already won the trust of the state pastor and invited favors from the people.
Guanzhong, Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, was also dark at this time. Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the armies of Longxi fought in a melee, turning the Han people in Sili Prefecture of the Han Dynasty into powder!
Chang'an City is still as grand and majestic as it was when Liu Xiu entered the city two hundred years ago.
Outside the city of Chang'an at night, people and horses neighed noisily. Outside the four gates of Chang'an, tens of thousands of torches lit up the city like daylight.
Han Sui, Ma Chao, together with Liang Xing, Zhang Heng in Guanzhong, Yang Qiu in An Ding, and Cheng Yin in Hedong, together with an army of 100,000, surrounded the city of Chang'an.
All the armies jointly elected the most powerful Han Sui as the commander-in-chief, commanding the most powerful 100,000 soldiers in the western territory of the Han Dynasty.
This is five years earlier than in history, when Han Sui and Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao in 211 AD.
The troops in Longxi raised the banner of flanking the Qing emperor and reviving the Han Dynasty, and issued a proclamation to Sili Prefecture. Among them, Fang Guang was on the list of traitors in Xuchang before Cao Cao.
Historically, Chang'an City was not controlled by Zhong Yao and Xia Houyuan until Ma Chao's defeat. This world is different.
A year ago, the young Sinong had established power over Xia Houyuan, stationed in Chang'an, and controlled the Weishui River to choke Si Li.
Cao Cao agreed very much with the young man's words, so he ordered Xiahou Miaocai to forcefully enter Chang'an. This Cao army guarded the key areas, making all the armies in Longxi feel like they were in trouble!
During the Guanxi Rebellion, the Longxi rebels were different from the history books. They could not leave Tongguan and send troops to the Central Plains to echo Yuan Shao without going to Chang'an.
Naturally, the strategy of taking Chang'an by force also greatly angered Han Sui and Cheng Yin.
The leader of the northwest army knew very well that the man with strong soldiers and horses is the king. Fortunately, he took advantage of Cao Cao's full strength to deal with Yuan Shao and struck preemptively!
The armies of Guanxi, taking the events of Ma Xiu and Ma Tie as a trigger, raised troops to cause trouble, which can be said to have greatly disrupted Cao Cao's strategic deployment!
At the north gate of Chang'an, all the armies in Longxi are most prosperous, and one of the cavalrymen is very eye-catching.
There are a thousand fine cavalry, all with white horses and white armor. If you look closely at the appearance of the soldiers, they either have yellow beards and black eyes, narrow heads, or they have high noses and deep eyes with yellow-green eyes. They are all Qiang Hu and Jie Huns.
This army consisted of Ma Chao's personal troops, the Qulang Cavalry Warriors. Ma's family was in the northwest and was actually not as powerful as Han Sui. During the Qiang Rebellion, they killed Beigong Boyu's old rebel.
Just being able to stand side by side with the Han family and having an elite team is an important reason.
The soldiers and horses of Xiliang have always been famous for their long spears and hard bows in the world of Kyushu. The horses surpassed this elite cavalry, and together with the three thousand fish-scale formation, the army that broke the formation with javelins and short swords was called the Crow Owl Army, and they were the mainstay of the Ma family.
The Crow Owl Army is also an army of a foreign race. This army is the descendant of the Roman captives who fought against Chen Tang, as verified by historians in later generations.
Ma Chao is of white blood, and all of his men are soldiers of a foreign race. They can be said to be unique foreigners in the late Eastern Han Dynasty!
The white horse cavalry is at the front. A few months ago, Ma Mengqi, who lost a battle with Zilong in Xuchang and ran away in anger, seems to be more handsome.
With a figure like a Greek statue and a tall white horse, he will arouse the admiration of foreign women every time he passes through the Longxi tribe.
Han Sui next to him had a wretched appearance, with a merchant-like smile on his face. He looked very innocent and easy to bully.
He is only six feet tall. If he is ahead of the same horse, he is more than a head shorter.
Anyone who is familiar with Han Sui knows that anyone who looks down upon this short, fat man is dead in Longxi.
This unspectacular man invaded the royal cemetery when he was young and led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, who had no way to go to heaven or to the earth. He even killed Bian Zhang and others in the Xiliang incident, the general of the Han Dynasty, and his vicious reputation shocked the Western Regions.
.
Han Sui was raised in the northwest. He knew the way of advance and retreat. He cooperated with the fierce lone wolf Ma Mengqi and had an incomparable tacit understanding.
The two joined forces and killed the irreversible Guanzhong powerful military leader Liu Xiong on the first day. He is now the idol of the rough guys in the northwest.
"Meng Qi, we are raising an army today. Your father is a hostage in Xuchang. Cao Cao is treacherous and will definitely harm my brother Shoucheng. Don't think too much about it. It's all destiny!"
Han Sui and Ma Teng had been fighting for supremacy in Longxi for more than ten years, and they wanted to eat each other alive.
At this time, Han Sui pretended to be concerned. Behind Ma Chao, there was a tall and strong man with the appearance of a cold boy from the northwest, General Pang De. His hair stood up in disgust.
Ma Chao's expression did not change at all.
"My father was going to Xuchang that day, so I tried my best to dissuade him. He was bewitched by Cao Cao's eagle dog Zhong Yao, and he forgot the principle of settling down in the desert and grassland. Naturally, he would be defeated!"
"My horse, Mengqi, was born from the sands of the northwest and was fed by cattle and sheep on the grassland. It can't be said to be sad!"
"Only by killing Xuchang and skinning Cao Cao and Fang Guang can we avenge our father and brother!"
"Damn, you little wolf cub, you are so vicious!"
Han Sui cursed in his heart, but he still nodded heavily and looked at the junior Ma Mengqi with encouragement in his eyes.
"Xia Houyuan, what kind of battle will you fight? There are hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves here, even if Dong Zhuo is resurrected, they can't resist him!"
"Three days, as long as Chang'an is captured in three days, I will personally accompany Meng Qi to kill Xuchang and skin Fang Guang in front of Your Majesty!"
"I heard that Diao Chan is pretty good, but Meng Qi has never been a womanizer, so I gave it to my uncle!"
"This is natural, but the city of Chang'an is strong. If there is enough food, we may not be able to attack quickly. My elite infantry, the Crow Owl Army, will take half a month to arrive. Otherwise, this army will be invincible in attacking the city with civil engineering, and Chang'an will not be a worry.
Got it!"
Ma Chao's face was full of pride. He raised his head and looked at Chang'an City. The clear lines on his face were as clear as a knife and an axe. He stood like the God of War in Greek mythology!
At the top of the city of Chang'an, Xia Houyuan, who had not been drinking and chatting with Fang Guang for nearly a year, sighed deeply as he looked at the power of the rebels below the city.
He knew that if the young man hadn't written the letter, he would have been in Chang'an City to stock up on food and grass.
At the end of last year, Yanzhou sent a hundred thousand bushels of grain and grass from Dongjun to Guanzhong, but he did not have the courage to defend Chang'an City.
There are less than 10,000 troops in the city, and including the people, they may not be more than the bandits. This city is really difficult to defend.
Xia Houyuan has always bullied others since he followed Cao Cao in raising troops. This time he was surrounded and bullied in Chang'an. With his peace of mind, he felt that his whole person had improved a lot.
Miaocai looked at the power of the bandits under the city, and suddenly the figure of a young man flashed in his mind.
"Datong, if you want to be here, what will you do?"
"My lord, it will take a month at the earliest to bring in troops to save you. If you were here, could you possibly defend the isolated city of Chang'an for a month?"
Xiahou Miaocai murmured to himself, looking to the east, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
At that time, among the generals in Cao's camp, he was the first general to deal with Sinong. He was worried about the young man. Xia Houyuan did not know. Now, only a thousand people in all nine states of the world know about Fang Guang's whereabouts. And they are all the troops around him.
