Dark clouds were gathering, and the sky was so overcast that it felt like the entire sky was about to collapse, which made people feel extremely depressed in their chests and hearts.
"What? That person is missing? Why is he missing? Didn't I tell you to wait and keep an eye on me? Why are you keeping an eye on me? Huh?" Early in the morning, Li Jue heard that Zhao Wen actually disappeared when he was approaching Chang'an.
I couldn't help but angrily took the riding crop and whipped the military lord who was in charge of the surveillance several times.
The Marquis did not dare to dodge, nor did he dare to cry out for pain. He resisted forcefully, and did not even dare to wipe the blood from his bruised forehead. The Marquis was also helpless. Last night he saw Zhao Wen covered up in the carriage.
I fell into a deep sleep, but when I looked again at dawn the next day, there were already no more people or cars...
Zhao Wen disappeared as mysteriously as he appeared out of nowhere.
Li Jue whipped him a few times, and his anger subsided a little. He knew that even if he cut the military prince into pieces now, it would be impossible for Zhao Wen to reappear, so he shouted at the military prince: "Useless trash!
piss off!"
Guo Bang frowned and said, "When this person leaves...it will be troublesome..."
In addition to bringing them a large amount of food and grass, Zhao Wen also told them some of Chang'an's actual and false arrangements. Of course, these facts also helped Li Jue and Guo Si successfully attack the city gate of Chang'an, and
The fight for the market square in Chang'an City began, and they gradually approached the imperial city.
But now that Zhao Wen has left, the truth about Li Jue and Guo Si has also been brought to the people in Chang'an. They are now almost rushing over a long distance to attack. In fact, both in terms of the physical strength of the soldiers and the subsequent reinforcements, they are all
The shortcoming is that once the attack momentum is hindered and the tone between the soldiers relaxes, it is a precursor to a complete defeat!
what to do?
At this point, it is definitely impossible to retreat.
But if we continue to attack the imperial city according to the original plan, how will we be able to resist the attack from the defenders of the tombs behind us?
Although Zhao Wen repeatedly patted his chest and swore that the defenders of the tombs were under the control of the Hongnong Yang family and would not cross the Wei River, he reassured Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and he also said that he could not say anything at the critical moment.
They will also help Li Jue and others, etc., but now that even Zhao Wen himself has disappeared, how can Li Jue, Guo Si and others believe in the so-called guarantees made before?
If Zhao Wen is still in the army, Li Jue and Guo Si will feel somewhat at ease in their hearts. However, in the current situation, it seems that yesterday's allies are no longer so reliable, and the army near the Wei River Lingyi is no longer theirs.
With help, there is a high possibility that they will become their opponents...
"Weishui Bridge!" Guo Bang suddenly said.
The terrain of Chang'an is actually relatively familiar to Li Jue and Guo Si. Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are on the Longshouyuan highland in the south of Chang'an City. It may not be that easy to attack the imperial city from above. Li Jue and Guo Si
He was also not sure how long it would take him to capture the gates of the imperial city.
As for the north-south transportation across the Wei River, the passage that allowed the soldiers of Lingyi to pass through was a bridge and a beach. The bridge was the Weishui Bridge in the south of Maoling, and the beach was the Lingtan Ferry at Bully. The ferry was easy to say, as long as some
Strong bows and crossbows standing on the tidal flats can make it difficult for soldiers trying to cross the river. However, only the Weishui stone bridge on the south side of Maoling is wide and strong, even if Li Jue and Guo Si try to destroy it.
, there is no way to start.
If the Weishui Bridge cannot be blocked, it means that the coalition forces of Li Jue, Guo Si and others may fall into a situation of being attacked from the north and the south!
Should we send soldiers to the south side of the Weishui Bridge to contain it?
Not very realistic.
If the troops are divided too little, it will not be of much use. If the troops are divided too much, Chang'an City will not be able to control it, let alone attack the imperial city. In the end, it will be in vain?
What to do?
Fan Chou led the vanguard troops to capture the city gate of Chang'an. Hu Zhen led the follow-up reinforcements and calculated that they should arrive in Chang'an in about time. If the original plan was followed, Li Jue and Guo Si would arrive with their troops and horses at the latest today.
Under Chang'an City, participate in the attack and complete the final siege of the imperial city...
Although plans can never keep up with changes, Li Jue and Guo Bang were not talented and intelligent people to begin with. After they suddenly received a large amount of military rations and Xiliang skirmishers, they did not think through the sudden expansion.
What is the backup plan for the plan to attack Chang'an?
Now when they suddenly found themselves facing a difficult choice, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little confused, and they couldn't think of any solution for a while...
"Two generals..." From the rear of the military column, a man and several soldiers rode up on horseback and said with a smile, "...Why is the column slowing down? Is there any change?"
"Wen He!" Li Jue was immediately overjoyed and laughed loudly and said, "Why are you here? Oh my, these bastards didn't come to report and failed to greet Wen He. It's really rude of me!"
Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "Jia arrived last night. Seeing that the two generals were in trouble on the road, he didn't let the soldiers disturb him... What's the matter? Why don't you rush into Chang'an?"
"This..." Li Jue was slightly embarrassed.
The plan to attack Chang'an did not involve Jia Xu. It was made by the two of them and Zhang Wen. The reason for deliberately squeezing out Jia Xu was because they found that Jia Xu actually had more influence in the Xiliang army than they did.
If it comes too strong, a letter can make Hu Zhen change his position at the last moment. If Jia Xu is allowed to develop further, there is no doubt that the two of them will be sidelined by Jia Xu that day and there will be nothing they can do.
Therefore, at that time, Li Jue and Guo Si consciously did not want Jia Xu to participate, but now the plan made without Jia Xu has problems...
"Wen He... this is like this..." Seeing Li Jue's expression of embarrassment, Guo Si took over the conversation, explained it to Jia Xu, and then said, "... Wen He has a good plan, if it's a big deal.
Well, even if Guo doesn’t want his own official position, he still wants to give Wen He a bright future!”
"Yes! I must give Wen He a title of Marquis!" Li Jue was also patting his chest.
Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said: "You two generals don't have to do this. This is a life-saving strategy. What's the point? Besides, Jia's heart is not above the court. He just wants to return home safely. As for the official position of Marquis, it's okay...
…”
Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other, and then hurriedly said: "... Then, you also need brocade clothes when you return home, right? After returning to Chang'an, gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of treasures, Wen He can take it for himself..."
"Haha... That's fine..." Jia Xu smiled slightly and finally nodded and accepted. Li Jue and Guo Binfang breathed a sigh of relief. In the eyes of Li Jue and Guo Si, if Jia Xu doesn't want anything, then
They were really worried about Jia Xu's plan, but now that their interests were tied together, Li Jue and Guo Si could feel more at ease.
"It's just the Weishui Bridge..." Jia Xu said with a smile, but there was a deep chill in his smile, "...what's so difficult about this? The two generals can just do this..."
