Chang'an, as the founding capital of the Han Dynasty, has been gradually forgotten by the Han Dynasty since the revival of Emperor Guangwu. It was only five years ago that Dong Zhuo suddenly took the emperor hostage and fled from Luoyang to Chang'an. In this way, Chang'an reappeared
In the eyes of people all over the world.
Of course, the Han Dynasty will never really forget this capital city that once had infinite honor. When Wang Mang was in chaos, Chang'an was captured by the rebel army. Chang'an was originally in ruins, but after nearly two hundred years of repairs, Chang'an was in ruins.
, now Chang'an has gradually restored its grandeur as the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, the tall and thick city wall alone is enough to give a great deterrent to anyone who wants to peek into it!
But at this moment, outside Chang'an City, an army suddenly appeared and was launching a fierce attack on the city wall of Chang'an! On top of Chang'an City, a group of Xiliang troops were desperately unleashing arrows and fire toward the city wall.
Stones, trying to repel the enemy troops who tried to climb up the city! On the top of the city, a middle-aged general was roaring anxiously. Although his throat was hoarse, he still
Not daring to stop: "Shoot! Shoot! Hurry! Over there! Throw rocks! Smash them! Smash them hard! Don't let them climb up! Add another team to the east!" Thanks to this middle-aged general.
Proper command, even though the city was almost captured several times, it still managed to push back those enemies!
"General Dong! General Dong!" At this moment, a sergeant hurriedly ran up to the top of the city and searched for a long time on the top of the city. Finally he saw the figure of the middle-aged general. His face lit up and he hurried away.
Come here, run and talk at the same time.
The middle-aged general, Dong Yue, one of the four generals in the Xiliang army, heard the shout, turned his head and asked: "What are you doing? Didn't you see that I am busy!"
"Although Dong Yue's abilities are not as good as Xu Rong's, he is not a mediocre person, otherwise he would not be so reused by Dong Zhuo. This time he was originally bringing his troops back to Chang'an to report to Dong Zhuo, but unexpectedly he happened to run into the enemy.
Appeared! Although he didn’t know how the enemy escaped, Dong Yue still fulfilled his duties as a general and led the Xiliang army in the city to actively resist the enemy.
The sergeant hurriedly ran to Dong Yue's side. While panting, he clasped his fists at Dong Yue and shouted: "General Dong! The Grand Master has an order. In case the General has no soldiers to use, the Grand Master's personal troops are specially sent to help! Now!
The guards are in the city, waiting for the general's orders at any time!"
Hearing the sergeant's words, Dong Yue immediately looked overjoyed! After spending the past few days, there are not many defenders left in Chang'an City! If they don't replenish it, I'm afraid they may be defeated by the enemy today.
The city has been breached! Unexpectedly, at such a critical time, Dong Zhuo actually sent reinforcements. This was a timely relief! But Dong Yue also knew that this personal army was already the last force in Chang'an City! But alone,
It is impossible for these people to repel the enemy. Now we can only hope that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible! Otherwise, Chang'an City will be captured sooner or later!
Dong Yue immediately did not dare to delay any longer and immediately asked the sergeants to bring the personal troops sent by Dong Zhuo to the top of the city! These personal troops were all carefully selected by Dong Zhuo from the Xiliang army.
, although the number is not large, the combat effectiveness is several times that of the general Xiliang army! With such a supporting army, the already crumbling city head immediately became strong again! Soon, a message came from outside the city.
There was a crisp sound of gold. Seeing that there was no hope of capturing the city today, the enemy troops decisively withdrew their troops!
After seeing the enemy retreating, Dong Yue breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the camps where the enemy troops retreated from a distance, Dong Yue felt worried in his heart! This enemy army suddenly appeared a few days ago. Just looking at it
The size should be more than 10,000 people. This number of troops is indeed nothing to the Xiliang Army, but the problem is that there are less than 1,000 defenders in Chang'an City! All the soldiers and horses near Chang'an have been mobilized by Dong Zhuo
We have arrived at Hangu Pass! If it were not for the city defense of Chang'an City and the strength of the Xiliang Army, how could Chang'an City have been able to withstand the repeated attacks of the enemy's force that was ten times our own?
Dong Yue let out a long sigh. When the enemy army just appeared, Dong Zhuo had already sent a distress letter to Xu Rong in Hangu Pass and Niu Fu in Liangzhou. No matter where the distress letter was received, he would send troops to go there.
Come to the rescue! All Dong Yue has to do now is to hold on until the reinforcements arrive! But for this, to be honest, Dong Yue has no confidence!
If nothing else, Dong Yue could also see that these enemy troops would choose this time to mysteriously appear outside Chang'an City. They had obviously calculated everything accurately! How could the opponent leave any flaws if they could calculate so accurately?
, let Dong Zhuo wait for reinforcements? Moreover, although the enemy army was repelled again today, the number of defenders is still too small. If this continues, the defenders will definitely be wiped out by the enemy! But now
Dong Yue was unable to do anything about this and could only do his best to defend the city.
After making some arrangements in the city, Dong Yue withdrew from the city and walked towards the Grand Master's Mansion in the city. Today's enemy attack has been repelled, so Dong Yue must go to the Grand Master's Mansion in time to report to Dong Zhuo.
Report on today's battle situation.
Dong Yue led a few people and galloped on the streets of Chang'an City. Because of the Xiliang Army, there were not many people living in Chang'an City. In addition, there were continuous battles outside the city, so the streets were deserted.
There was no one to see at all. But having said that, even if the street was full of people, with Dong Yue's temper, I'm afraid he wouldn't have any scruples!
"Oh! Isn't this General Dong!" Suddenly a voice sounded, calling Dong Yue. Dong Yue subconsciously pulled the reins, stopped his mount, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that
At the entrance of the street not far away, a group of people and horses were parked there, but there were several servants surrounding a luxuriously decorated carriage. The curtain of the carriage had been lifted, revealing a human face, facing Dong.
Yue smiled and said hello.
"It turns out to be Wang Situ!" Seeing that face, Dong Yue's expression showed a hint of contempt. This person was Wang Yun, the Situ of the dynasty, and one of the first ministers to seek refuge with Dong Zhuo.
.But in the eyes of Dong Yue and other Xiliang generals, Wang Yun could only get such a high official position by flattering others, and he had no great ability at all! But no matter what, he still had to work hard on this scene. Dong immediately
Yue and his men walked to Wang Yun's carriage. Dong Yue cupped his fists at Wang Yun and shouted, "Why did Wang Situ come out today?"
When Dong Yue said this, he had a sarcastic look on his face. Before the enemy attacked the city, all the princes and ministers were so frightened that they cowered in their homes, especially those who had taken refuge with Dong Zhuo. They were afraid that the city of Chang'an would be breached.
Those who took refuge with Dong Zhuo did not end well. However, Wang Yun did not seem to see the sarcasm on Dong Yue's face, and smiled calmly: "To be honest with General Dong, I am concerned about the situation at the top of the city, so I am waiting here specially.
General, I want to ask about the situation! I wonder what the situation is like on this city? Can I help?"
Dong Yue sneered at Wang Yun's words and snorted: "Wang Situ is too worried! This city is still very safe! Today's enemy attack has been repulsed! We can only wait until Xu Rong and Niu Fu's reinforcements arrive.
So, those trash fish outside the city will naturally die without burial! Wang Situ is weak, so he should go back home early!" After that, Dong Yue was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Wang Yun, turned around and led him away
The men continued to rush towards the Taishi Mansion.
"Ah! General Dong, go slowly!" Seeing Dong Yue being so rude, Wang Yun still smiled with a smile on his face and watched Dong Yue leave. Until Dong Yue's back disappeared, the look on Wang Yun's face
However, the smile disappeared immediately. He snorted deeply and got back into the carriage. Without Wang Yun's instructions, the servants protected the carriage and drove directly towards the Situ Mansion at the other end of Chang'an City.
go.
In the carriage, besides Wang Yun, there were two other people hiding. They were all wearing black cloaks, but the hoods were taken off, revealing their faces. These two people were none other than
One of them is none other than Taiwei Yang Biao, and the other is an authentic clan member of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's uncle Liu Biao!
Different from the Han clan clan members Liu Bei talks about from time to time, Liu Biao, who is already over fifty years old, has the status of an imperial uncle whose genealogy can be checked! When he was young, Liu Biao gained the reputation of being one of the eight handsome men.
He is definitely the best among the clan members of the Han Dynasty! If not for the anomaly of Luoyang, Liu Biao should have been appointed as the governor of Jingzhou and become the dominant overlord! But now Liu Biao can only stay with the emperor.
He was given the official position of Guanglu Doctor. In the past, this position would have been a prominent position in the court, but now that the emperor's power has fallen away, Liu Biao's Guanglu Doctor has become a false position.
Not to mention Liu Biao's official position, in the carriage, both Liu Biao and Yang Biao looked gloomy. Yang Biao said to Wang Yun: "Master Wang, what Dong Yue said just now, in your opinion, is somewhat shameful."
letter?"
Wang Yun snorted coldly, without the flattering smile before, and snorted: "Then Dong Yue's words are simply not credible! I also have many informants in the garrison, and there are at least some people outside the city.
There are more than ten thousand people! And the thieves in the city only have a thousand people! How can we defend Chang'an City? According to me, even if Dong Yue repelled the opponent's attack today, I'm afraid he will have to pay a lot of price!"
Liu Biao, the only one among the three who had led troops to fight, nodded in agreement and said, "Although I didn't see Dong Yue just now, I can tell from his voice that Dong Yue was physically exhausted.
, I am afraid that in order to repel the attack of the soldiers and horses outside the city, Dong Yue must be very tired! Looking down, Dong Yue may not be able to defend for long! The soldiers and horses outside the city must be trying to use the minimum consumption to come.
The idea of breaking through the city gate! It is wearing down the strength of the defenders bit by bit!"
