Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and Liu Xie had a conversation, and after returning to their respective mansions, they immediately sent the most elite Xiliang soldiers to leave Chang'an to resist Wang Can and Cao Cao.
Zhang Xiu received Zhang Ji's order and led his cavalry to leave Chang'an and go straight to Wang Can.
Fan Chou also did his part and sent his generals and elite soldiers to resist Cao Cao.
The two armies intercepting Cao Cao and Wang Can will definitely slow them down. No matter how elite Cao Cao and Wang Can's armies are and how brave and skilled they are, they cannot detour or float directly over when encountering the Xiliang army.
They had to stop and defeat the Xiliang soldiers before they could move forward, so the marching speed inevitably slowed down.
In fact, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji had no choice but to send troops.
Although both of them are warriors, they are not stupid in their brains, otherwise they would not have achieved what they have achieved now. The little emperor sits high on the dragon throne and has no rights. He is just a puppet at the mercy of others. It is impossible to give orders to Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.
There is a reason why the two of them followed the advice of the young emperor and dispatched troops readily.
Fan Chou and Zhang Ji both knew that whether it was Cao Cao or Wang Can, as long as they took Chang'an, they would definitely kill the Xiliang soldiers, and maybe kill the three tribes in order to calm the public's anger and win the support of the wealthy gentry.
Therefore, the two readily agreed to Liu Xie's suggestion and spared no effort to send troops to resist Cao Cao and Wang Can, hoping that they would lead the troops back.
As for Ma Teng, neither Fan Chou nor Zhang Ji took it to heart.
When Dong Zhuo was alive, Ma Teng stayed in a corner. He was just an unpopular general in the Xiliang army and had no voice. Now that Ma Teng came to attack, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were not alert.
That's why Ma Teng can be so smooth.
…
Yizhou military camp, Chinese army tent.
Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others went to settle the soldiers, while Wang Can discussed the attack on Chang'an with Jia Xu, Li Ru and Guo Jia.
In the big tent, a map of Guanzhong, one foot wide, was hung, which marked the movements of Cao Cao, Wang Can and Ma Teng's armies, as well as the interception routes of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's armies.
Guo Jia pointed at the direction of Ma Teng's army and said: "My lord, Jia thinks that the situation of Ma Teng's Xiliang army is the most subtle. Their situation is different from that of us and Cao Cao. We and Cao Cao were blocked at all levels, but Ma Teng
He drove straight into Chang'an. Judging from Ma Teng's posture and the checkpoints he conquered along the way, he was heading straight for the Xiliang army, preparing to attack Chang'an. However, Ma Teng was not intercepted by the Xiliang army. Could it be that Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were fools?
, Don’t you know how to send troops to resist Ma Teng?”
Wang Can captured Ziwu Valley and marched out of Chang'an. The scouts he dispatched continued to spread the news back.
Wang Can also sent people to find out the relevant information after Ma Teng raised his army.
Wang Can heard this and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, I thought it wasn't that Fan Chou and Zhang Ji didn't send troops, but that they never took Ma Teng into their eyes. The Xiliang soldiers led by Fan Chou and Zhang Ji had no one in their eyes, and they were unruly and arrogant.
They are a group of thieves. Ma Teng has always kept a low profile, and Fan Chou and Zhang Ji did not pay attention to Ma Teng. Perhaps they want to fight Ma Teng in Chang'an City."
Li Ru continued: "My lord's words are one of the reasons. It is also possible that the Xiliang army sent a large army to resist our army and Cao Cao. There are no more troops or generals to send, so we can only defend Chang'an."
Jia Xu added: "Xu thought that there might be someone else helping Ma Teng, which would make Fan Chou and Zhang Ji ignore Ma Teng. You may have forgotten that there is still a force in the court. The ministers in the court have no military power and no power.
, but they are very good at talking and have public opinion in Chang'an and even the world. If these people take action and publicize that Ma Teng is not a big threat, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji may regard their lord and Cao Cao as their great enemies and ignore Ma Teng."
…
Four people, you say something, I say something, guessing what's going on.
However, no one mentioned Liu Xie.
This little emperor, who has not yet been crowned and is still a boy, lives in seclusion behind the scenes and is not known to the public.
Jia Xu paused for a moment and said: "Lord, we are intercepted everywhere and our march is very slow. Cao Cao, like us, was also blocked by the army. Xu can conclude that Ma Teng must arrive in Chang'an first and will probably defeat the Xiliang army.
.In this case, we may have to attack Chang'an, and the next situation will be more complicated."
His eyes were shining with excitement.
It seemed that the more complicated the situation became, the more excited the old fox became.
After Wang Can heard this, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
As things have developed now, history has changed greatly. The history that Wang Can is familiar with has changed. Wang Can must make his own decision for the next thing, rather than relying on his proficiency in history to make decisions easily. Nowadays, everyone
Everything must be carefully considered and the pros and cons weighed before making a decision.
"Report!"
Outside the camp, a soldier shouted loudly.
Wang Can raised his head and said: "Come in!"
The soldier opened the door curtain, ran in quickly, bowed to Wang Can, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the news just came back that Zhang Xiu led his troops to leave Chang'an and led the cavalry to come to us."
"Is Zhang Xiu here?"
Wang Can frowned slightly and immediately asked: "How many people are there?"
Regarding Zhang Xiu, Wang Can also hoped to recruit him under his command.
However, Zhang Xiu was powerful, and Zhang Ji was the rear general of the imperial court, so he had all the power. Zhang Xiu had a prominent position and could not follow Wang Can around, so Wang Can felt a little regretful. Tong Yuan
They all came to Chengdu to settle down, but it was a pity that all three of his disciples could not be together.
The soldier was respectful, clasped his fists and said, "There are about three thousand cavalry!"
When Wang Can heard this, he raised his brows and showed a solemn look on his face. Good guy, Zhang Ji valued him enough to send three thousand cavalry. This is quite a powerful force!
Wang Can waved the soldiers away, and then discussed with Guo Jia and others. After Guo Jia and others left, Wang Can summoned Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei to discuss matters, and asked Huang Zhong and Dian Wei to lead the army camp and prepare
Zhang Xiu was defeated, while Zhao Yun held the rear. Because it was Zhang Xiu who fought, Wang Can did not let Zhao Yun fight Zhang Xiu.
The two of them are brothers, so it would be inappropriate for them to fight against each other.
Moreover, when Zhao Yun met Zhang Xiu, he was unable to attack with all his strength.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun looked at Wang Can gratefully, then at Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, and finally returned to Wang Can. He lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, clasping his fists and saying: "My Lord, something is going to happen.
I beg you, my lord, to grant my request."
"Say it!" Wang Can said, "As long as I can do it, I promise you."
Wang Can is very relieved about Zhao Yun.
With Zhao Yun's character, it is impossible for him to do anything that crosses the line.
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said: "Po Junying is invincible. In the past, it was no worse than Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army. Now it is equipped with stirrups, saddles, horseshoes, and iron guns that have been reforged in the craftsman's workshop. It is easy to defeat Zhang Xiu's cavalry. The final general
I just ask my lord to bypass Zhang Xiu and save his life after defeating the Xiliang army."
Wang Can laughed and said: "Okay, I promise you, if you catch Zhang Xiu, I will spare his life."
However, Wang Can was full of slander in his heart.
Whether he can catch Zhang Xiu is still unknown. Moreover, even if Wang Can catches Zhang Xiu, he would not be willing to kill him. He is the spear king of the North and a fierce general!
…
Not long after Zhang Xiu led his troops and left Chang'an, Ma Teng led his army and approached Chang'an, getting closer and closer.
Compared with the time given by Liu Fan, Ma Teng's arrival time in Chang'an was shortened. He did not arrive at noon the next day, but arrived in Chang'an that night. However, Ma Teng did not attack the city overnight, but let his soldiers
Set up camp, let the soldiers rest for one night, and then attack the city the next day.
