Chapter 842: Capture Tongguan and surround Chang'an
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Chou took the lead and charged into Zhang Ji's army. Seeing this, the soldiers behind him roared and charged towards Zhang Ji.
Facing Fan Chou's mad dog-like offensive, Zhang Ji had an increasingly difficult time resisting. Zhang Ji also learned that Yuan Shu's army had broken through the city wall, but now he couldn't escape even if he wanted to, so he could only defend passively.
"kill."
Yuan Shu's army came straight to the battlefield between Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. Seeing them killing each other, Yan Liang couldn't help but stand up.
"I am Yan Liang, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, generals of Polu under the command of Jizhou Mu. You have been surrounded. If you know what you are looking for, please surrender quickly, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."
After hearing Yan Liang's words, the cruel look in Fan Chou's eyes faded a little. He knew that he had no chance to kill Zhang Ji. If he continued, not only would his own life be lost, but the lives of the soldiers who followed him would also be in danger.
"surrender."
Finally, after looking at Zhang Ji not far away, Fan Chou dismounted and surrendered. The soldiers around him did not hesitate when they saw the general surrendering, and they all dropped their weapons and surrendered.
"?
?”
Zhang Ji was stunned when he saw Fan Chou surrendering. Didn't Fan Chou defect to Yuan Shu?
Why do they still surrender?
Could it be?
"Zhang Ji, Fan Chou has surrendered, you still want to resist?"
Yan Liang glanced at Zhang Ji, who was surrounded in the middle, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
"surrender."
Zhang Ji glanced at Yan Liang and directly surrendered to the people around him.
As Zhang Ji dropped his weapons, the soldiers and horses around him also dropped their weapons and surrendered to Yuan Shu's army.
"All tied up."
When Yan Liang saw that they all surrendered, he directly ordered the soldiers to tie up all the soldiers and horses of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.
Seeing that Zhang Ji was also tied up, Fan Chou immediately became stupid.
"Why are you tied up too?"
After hearing Fan Chou's words, Zhang Jizhen really wanted to beat this fool to death. Now that it's so clear, you still can't see the situation clearly.
"Why are not you talking?
ah?"
Seeing Zhang Ji's contemptuous look, Fan Chou immediately became angry.
"We fell into a trap, can't you see it now?
We fell into someone's conspiracy, ah."
Zhang Ji was also angry. If he had a knife now, he would definitely cut down this idiot Fan Chou.
"Um?
Countermeasures?
You mean you didn’t surrender to Yuan Shu?”
After hearing Zhang Ji's words, Fan Chou woke up from a dream and reacted.
"Why."
After looking at the other party, Zhang Ji shook his head, and then glanced at Yan Liang beside him.
"I would like to ask, whose plan is it, but is it an acquaintance of ours?"
After hearing Zhang Ji's words, Yan Liang also smiled slightly.
"Come with me, you will know who he is when you see him."
Yan Liang led Zhang Ji and Fan Chou directly to Yuan Shu. Looking at the figure beside Yuan Shu, the two of them were stunned.
"Two generals, are you okay?"
Jia Xu directly cupped his fists and saluted at the two of them.
"Jia Xu, you are a thief. We treat you very well. I didn't expect you to collude with Yuan Shu."
When Fan Chou heard Jia Xu's words, his blood vessels exploded. He suddenly broke away from the people around him and rushed towards him.
"Kneel down."
Seeing Fan Cong being so disobedient, Yan Liang stepped forward and kicked Fan Cong directly on the crook of the leg.
Fan Chong, who was charging forward, knelt down on the ground. Then two soldiers rushed out and pressed Fan Cong's shoulders to prevent him from getting up.
"Jia Wenhe, why?"
Zhang Ji knew the situation and knelt down directly, but his eyes were fixed on Jia Xu in front of him.
"Without him, a good bird will choose a tree to rest, and a good time will choose a master to work. If you are not good people, I will go to Yuan Zhoumu."
Faced with Zhang Ji's question, Jia Xu gave him a direct answer.
"Hehe, hehe, do you think you will end well if you defect to Yuan Shu?
If you can betray us, you can betray him. How can a person who betrays the Lord be taken seriously?"
After hearing Jia Xu's answer, Zhang Ji sneered and began to mock.
"You don't understand, you will never understand."
Jia Xu shook his head and ignored Zhang Ji at all.
"Lord, what should we do with these two people?"
Yan Liang clenched his fists at Yuan Shu and asked how to deal with Fan Chou.
"Secure them first, and deal with them together after capturing Li Jue and others."
"promise."
Soon Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were taken away, and Tongguan City also changed hands to Yuan Shu.
"My lord, after taking Tongguan, Chang'an will be undefeated. General Zilong can move."
After taking Tongguan, Tian Feng excitedly suggested to Yuan Shu that Zhao Yun could send troops.
"Well, it's time."
Yuan Shu nodded, he could indeed move now.
"My lord, General Zilong doesn't need to move, Chang'an is at your fingertips."
Jia Xu on the side heard the conversation between the two and smiled directly.
"How to say?"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Yuan Shu was also stunned.
"I have arranged for my servant to go to Chang'an to provoke an internal fight between Li Jue and Guo Si. As long as we arrive in Chang'an, everything will be possible."
Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shu and answered him confidently.
"oh?
tell me the story."
Yuan Shu was really stunned now. He didn't expect that Jia Xu was still backing up Chang'an. This guy was really a thief.
"My lord, there is no need to ask any further questions. Everything will be revealed when we arrive in Chang'an."
Jia Xu didn't say much, just smiled.
"Li Jue and others in Chang'an are nothing to worry about, but Zilong and I actually have some plans for the next offensive. After we capture them all, it's time to solve the problem in Jingzhou."
Although Jia Xu said that Chang'an was within easy reach, Yuan Shu sent Zhao Yun to garrison Jincheng not just for Chang'an, but also needed elite troops for his subsequent offensive.
"So Jia Xu understands."
After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Jia Xu realized that his thinking was a bit one-sided. His level had risen to the level of a big man, but he was still stuck in a small place like Chang'an. It was really unworthy of him.
"Well, immediately order Zilong to lead his army south to fight with us."
"promise."
After taking Tongguan, Yuan Shu's army left 10,000 troops to garrison Tongguan and guard the prisoners. The remaining army marched directly westward towards Chang'an. At the same time, the telegram was also sent to Guzang. After receiving the telegram, Xun You directly sent people south to inform Zhao Yun.
Lead the army to launch.
After Zhao Yun received the military order, he did not hesitate and rushed out with his already prepared army to kill Chang'an.
"General, Zhao Yun in the direction of Jincheng has moved and is now running towards Chang'an."
As soon as Zhao Yun's army moved, scouts immediately spread the news to Chang'an.
"Zhao Yun launched the attack. Is there any news from Tongguan?"
After Li Jue received the news, he couldn't help but frown. Zhao Yun launched it. He didn't know what was going on with Yuan Shu.
"No news yet."
"Get down."
"promise."
After the scouts left, Li Jue fell into deep thought. He now didn't know if Yuan Shu had broken through Tongguan's defense, and what he would have done if he hadn't.
Zhao Yun's army moved very quickly. Zuo Fengyi surrendered to Zhao Yun without resisting. Yuan Shu also led his troops invincibly, and ran in both directions with Zhao Yun to kill Chang'an directly.
As time went by, Chang'an's defenses were gradually raised, and soldiers and horses were mounted ready to welcome the enemy's arrival at any time.
Finally, Zhao Yun's army arrived outside Chang'an City first, but he did not attack the city immediately. He built twenty military camps to wait for Yuan Shu's arrival.
Three days later, Yuan Shu arrived with his army. After joining forces with Zhao Yun, more than 200,000 troops surrounded the entire Chang'an like Mount Tai.
"My lord, do you want to attack the city immediately?"
