(PS: Today’s sixth update. I’m so tired. My hands are cramping as I write. Take a rest and I’ll update tomorrow...) There are swords and soldiers everywhere in Chang’an City. Qin soldiers in black clothes and black armor and rebels in white clothes and white armor.
Fierce street fighting broke out, with beacon smoke and scattered fires everywhere. The people were trapped between the two armies and suffered terribly.
However, the number of rebels was only much larger. Those in charge of the response in the city were all rebels in white clothes and armor. Most of them were people who entered Chang'an City in advance, or private soldiers at all levels who participated in the rebellion. Most of them were

At the gate of the east city, Gao Fei, Zhu Gongping, Zhu Gongdao, Liu Yu and others gathered together and swaggered from the candidates to the city gate. The lazy soldiers didn't bother at all. In the gatehouse beside the city gate,
A room full of people gathered. They were all Zhu Pingping's apprentices. Everyone had studied swordsmanship with Zhu Pingping for a period of time in Chang'an City.
The ancients said that once you are a teacher, you will always be a father, which is well explained by these disciples.
Most of the disciples are mischievous people who wander the streets of Chang'an. Some of them are familiar with people in the army. What's more, in order to make a living, they went to the army to teach martial arts.
As soon as everyone saw Zhu Gonggong coming, they gathered around him and worshiped in unison: "Master!"
After Zhu Gongping saw him, he hurriedly introduced Gao Fei to everyone, only saying that he was his master Tang Gong, and asked all his disciples to come and pay homage to him.
After the ceremony, Liu Yu said: "Junior brothers, if something happens later, feel free to block it for us. Many of you are familiar with people in the army. I would like to ask you, brother!"
Liu Yu is Zhu Pingping's eldest disciple. He has outstanding swordsmanship, but his family is poor. Compared with some other disciples, he is not on the same level at all, and he has binding influence on the other junior disciples.
Among Zhu Gongping's disciples, there are also wealthy people in Chang'an City, who are proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. It can be said that among the more than a hundred disciples here, they include all kinds of people from all three religions in Chang'an City. They listen to
After hearing what senior brother Liu Yu said, everyone nodded.
Zhu Pingping winked at Liu Yu and said, "Go and open the city gate..."
"Wait!" Gao Fei hurriedly stopped him: "Opening it now will undoubtedly expose the target. There are at least 5,000 soldiers and horses nearby, forming a long queue. Just now, it was said that Liu Yu's family was here.
Take refuge, if you dare to open the city gate now, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
"What should we do?"
"Hide first. The city of Chang'an is already in chaos. We are here to wait and see what happens. There are so many troops here and absolutely no one dares to cause trouble. Even if the troops are mobilized and the general walks to the front and leaves after saying hello, it won't be involved.
We, not to mention the huge crowds of people, we may not be discovered.”
Everyone felt that what Gao Fei said was reasonable, so they temporarily hid in the gatehouse. Liu Yu, as the city gate guard, mobilized a hundred soldiers to guard the door and wait and see what happened.
After a while, the candidate came in person to mobilize troops, took away all the 5,000 troops stationed here, and threatened to put down the rebellion.
After the five thousand soldiers left, Gao Fei dared to come out. After confirming that the candidates and others were gone, he asked Liu Yu to open the city gate.
Liu Yunuo made a promise, immediately left the porter's room, came to the city gate, and ordered: "Open the city gate!"
Ma Chao once issued an order that no one could open the city gate, so the soldiers did not dare to move.
When Liu Yu saw this, he shouted: "I'm so afraid! The sky is falling, a big one! The higher-ups are also blaming me. I'm here, please open the city gate for me."
The soldiers were in a dilemma and never dared to open the city gate, fearing Ma Chao's words!
"Niang Xipi! Are you rebelling? Open the city gate, otherwise..."
"Sir, it's not good, there are many cavalry coming from outside the city, they are all Qiang people..." A soldier hurriedly shouted from the top of the tower to Liu Yu who was standing below.
Liu Yu was taken aback and shouted hurriedly: "Don't open the city gate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran to the door and saw through the gap that there were at least ten thousand Qiang cavalry outside the city. Everyone looked fierce and had a piece of white cloth wrapped around their right arm. Under the leadership of a Qu Shuai
A mighty gallop came over, kicking up billowing dust.
"What's wrong, it's the rebels!" After Liu Yu saw it, he knew something was wrong and hurried back to see Gao Fei.
Liu Yu returned to Gao Fei, cupped his fists and said: "Tang Gong, it's not good, there are rebels outside the city. They are all Qiang people, with more than ten thousand cavalry. They are waiting there quietly, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to enter the city.
, but the city gate was blocked!"
"Rebels? It's indeed a good strategy. It's a combination of inside and outside, and it's blocking the city gate. It doesn't want to let anyone escape. It seems that Cao Cao has won over many Qiang people. But... Ma Chao is known as the God of Might in the eyes of the Qiang people.
General, why did the Qiang people rebel?" Gao Fei was confused for a while.
Although he couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't underestimate Cao Cao's ability. In just a few months, he was able to win over such a huge rebel force. Is it because Cao Cao was too strong or because the Qin State was too loose, which gave Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of?
machine?
At this time, the captain of the city gate rode a fast horse with fifty fast horses and galloped over. When he saw Liu Yu, he shouted loudly: "Liu Yu, open the city gate!"
Everyone turned to look over and saw that the right arm of the captain of the city gate was also wrapped with a piece of white cloth, and they all understood immediately.
Liu Yu glanced at Gao Fei and waited for Gao Fei's instructions.
Gao Fei blinked his eyes and whispered: "Use the trick!"
Liu Yu understood immediately, and immediately clasped his fists to the captain of the city gate and said: "No!"
Before Liu Yu could say anything, the people guarding the city gate had already opened the city gate. Those soldiers had their right arms wrapped in white cloth at some point, and almost in an instant, Liu Yu's 300 guards
The soldiers at the city gate were all wrapped in white cloth, overwhelming Liu Yu's 100 followers with an absolute advantage.
It turned out that the city gate captain had already made arrangements. Even if Liu Yu didn't open the city gate, it didn't matter, the city gate would be opened. The city gate captain was also a member of the rebel army. According to the plan, he was responsible for opening the city gate.
North Gate, but he kept an extra thought and placed his own people at the East Gate.
The reason why he came to the east gate was because all his people in the south gate were killed by Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin, and the north gate was controlled instead. If he hadn't returned home, he might not have been spared either.
Yu Nan. Seeing that Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin were so capricious, he was worried that the operation would fail, not attract foreign aid, and lose the support of Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin and others, so he adopted a backup plan and rushed to Beijing.
Door.
After the city gate was opened, the Qiang people, led by their commander Qu, entered Chang'an City without any resistance.
As soon as the city gate captain saw the Qiang commander Qu Shuai, he immediately said: "There was a slight change in the original plan. Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin actually helped Ma Chao and are now wantonly killing those who killed horses in the city. We don't have to
It went according to the original plan.”
Commander Qu nodded, drew out his scimitar, and together with the captain of the city gate, rushed towards the city quickly. Behind him, more than 10,000 Qiang cavalry were whimpering and shouting, and they galloped past Gao Fei and others.
After the Qiang people entered the city, the city gate on the other side was closed, and three hundred soldiers wrapped in white cloth blocked the city gate, waiting in full formation.
This was beyond Liu Yu's expectation, and he immediately shouted: "Open the city gate, I want to leave the city!"
A military prince stepped forward, glanced at Liu Yu, snorted coldly, and said: "Who do you think you are? We only listen to the captain!"
"Niang Xipi! I am the guard of this city gate. You guys..."
Before Liu Yu could finish his words, the leader, Qu Junhou, immediately drew out his sword and stabbed Liu Yu directly.
Liu Yu was taken aback and hurriedly jumped away and shouted: "Thieves, your mother! Kill me too?"
Qu Junhou didn't take Liu Yu seriously at all, and said loudly: "You are the one I want to kill. From now on, I will take over the city gate. Anyone who wants to enter or exit must obtain my consent!"
"I agree, mother!" Liu Yu immediately drew his sword and rushed forward. With one strike, the long sword in Qu Junhou's hand flew away and stabbed his wrist.
At this time, three hundred soldiers behind Qu Junhou besieged Liu Yu.
When Liu Yu's junior brothers and subordinates saw this, they all came to fight, and a fierce battle started at the city gate.
When Gao Fei saw this, he felt that it was too chaotic, so he hurriedly said to Zhu Gong Gong, who said: "Capture the thief and capture the king, and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
Zhu Gongdao and Zhu Gongping understood what it meant and immediately jumped into the battle circle. The two of them immediately killed several people as soon as they took action. Then they killed Qu Junhou and slashed it with a sword. Qu Junhou's head fell to the ground.
, Zhu Gongping went to kill the remaining village chiefs.
There was no suspense in the battle. The two swordsmen took action together and stabbed to death the leaders among them one after another in the crowd. In addition, Zhu Gongping's disciples were not in vain, but suppressed them firmly at the city gate and resisted.
Unable to withstand the attacks of these swordsmen.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all three hundred soldiers died at the hands of these swordsmen, and among these swordsmen, only a dozen were injured.
Liu Yu hurriedly asked his junior brothers to open the city gate and clear a path, allowing Gao Fei and others to drive Ma Chao out of the city gate quickly.
There were more than 200 people in the group, four carriages were galloping in front, and a hundred foot soldiers and Liu Yu's junior brothers were just accompanying them. They escaped from Chang'an City.
Gao Fei drove the carriage and looked back at the smoke-filled Chang'an City. When he saw some scattered people pouring out from the east city gate, he felt desolate in his heart.
"Master, as the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. No matter who wins or loses in this battle between the Qin army and the rebel army, it will weaken Qin's strength. If our army takes this opportunity to attack Qin with a large army,
Maybe there will be unexpected gains!" Sima Yi had been hiding in the carriage, saying nothing, quietly observing the surroundings. After escaping, he opened the curtain and said to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei said: "If we can take this opportunity to go straight to Chang'an, then the future will be easy!"
"Master! Look over there!" Zhu Gongdao has a unique eye and can always detect something unusual. He pointed to the southeast of Chang'an City and shouted.
Gao Fei turned around and looked over, and saw Wang Shuang leading a group of cavalry fighting fiercely with the Qiang soldiers, while three carriages were rushing toward the southeast under the protection of Wang Shuang. He immediately asked suspiciously: "Are those Ma Chao's family members?"
