Ma Teng was defeated and retreated. Chang'an City was in danger, and news continued to be passed around the city.
For the people in the city, Ma Teng's defeat was not good news.
In the past, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led their troops into the city, and their soldiers looted everywhere, making the people miserable; two years later, Ma Teng led his troops into Chang'an, surrounded and killed the Xiliang army, and the people also suffered, and suffered unreasonable disasters;
Now, Ma Teng's defeat means that Cao Cao and Wang Can will also take control of Chang'an, and there will be another killing spree, which makes the people in the city panic.
This world is so chaotic.
The so-called prosperity means the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer, it's nothing more than this!
The people were worried that the war would spread to Chang'an again, so they began to make preparations to hide while the army moved forward so that they could survive this military disaster. With the experience of several military disasters, the people in the city also learned various ways to avoid it.
At the beginning, I just wandered around and ran around wildly.
Nowadays, after the soldiers enter the city, the people hide and get through, and then continue to live their lives.
The news spread continuously in the city and soon reached the palace. The people were panicked and fearful. The guards, attendants and maids in the palace were also uneasy and fearful.
The palace, outside the side hall.
An attendant whispered: "Have you heard? Wang Can and Cao Cao joined forces to drive Ma Teng back to Xiliang. The city is now only guarded by Yang Feng's troops, and Chang'an City will soon be captured.
"
Next to the attendant, a tall and thin attendant came over and exclaimed in a low voice: "What, it's impossible, Cao Cao was ordered to attack Wang Can, how could he suddenly switch sides?"
Another rather sturdy attendant snorted and said: "What's impossible? Knowing people knows faces but doesn't know hearts. Cao Cao and Wang Can are in the same group. They defeated Ma Teng and will attack Chang'an next."
.”
The attendant looked sad and sighed: "Oh, what should I do?"
The tall and thin attendant sneered: "What's the good thing? If something happens, someone will take care of it. It's none of our business."
Several people gathered together and whispered in low voices.
At this time, a eunuch walked over from a distance. When he saw several attendants gathering together and chattering without knowing what to say, he immediately shouted: "What are you talking about? Don't go to work yet." His voice was shrill and shrill.
The voice of the throat reached the ears of several attendants, and they were immediately startled and started to move away quickly.
The eunuch sighed. He also knew what these attendants were talking about, because this was not the first time they had encountered them.
He shook his head and continued walking to the side hall.
In the palace, the attendants in various places were whispering in private, discussing the affairs of Cao Cao and Wang Can. Their eyes were full of curiosity, but there was also a hint of worry.
The news that Wang Can and Cao Cao defeated Ma Teng is not good news for the attendants in the palace. After all, after Wang Can and Cao Cao lead the army into the city, they will definitely clean up the Xiliang army, and then there will be another turmoil
.They, the attendants in the palace, may also be purged.
As a result, the entire palace became chaotic.
In the side hall, Liu Xie had broken several jades, and the floor was covered with letters and other items. Not only that, but there were also several attendants and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, too scared to move.
When the news of Ma Teng's defeat reached the palace, Liu Xie was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.
He has been adhering to the strategy Liu Xian formulated for him, and wanted to use Chang'an as his foothold and Xiliang and Guanzhong as his foundation. However, Ma Teng's defeat and retreat to Xiliang meant that his hope of rising was completely shattered, and he never revived the Han Dynasty.
opportunity. Liu Xie looked ferocious, like a tiger and leopard that chooses people to devour. It gets angry and punishes people when encountering things as big as sesame seeds.
The attendants who were punished by him were lucky, because several of them had already been pulled out and chopped.
"Boom! Boom!"
At the entrance of the main hall, the eunuch who had scolded the attendants came in and bowed to Liu Xie. Seeing the eunuch return to the palace alone, Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why are you alone, Xu Huang and Yang Feng?
?”
The eunuch looked respectful and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Yang Feng has contracted the cold and is bedridden and unable to move, so he cannot come to see Your Majesty. As for General Xu Huang, he is training soldiers in the city, actively preparing for war, and preparing to defend Chang'an. Xu
The general is busy with his affairs and has no time to come to see His Majesty."
"Asshole!!"
When Liu Xie heard this, he immediately cursed.
After a pause, he yelled loudly: "That's bullshit. It's just autumn. How can you get cold so easily? Yang Feng, Yang Feng, I value you so much, but you pervert me, good, good, what a rebellious minister."
Thief. That Xu Huang is actually training troops. Hey, he’s hypocritical. I think he’s preparing to open the city gate to welcome Cao Cao and Wang Can!”
"boom!"
After Liu Xie finished speaking, he sat down on the floor, then lay on his back, muttering to himself in a low voice: "It's over, it's over, I'm alone again. As far as I can see, everyone is an enemy!" The words were desolate,
Liu Xie had a look of helplessness on his face, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of Liu Xie's eye and fell on the floor.
The eunuch bowed and stood there, not daring to make a sound.
After a long time, Liu Xie hissed: "Everyone, go out and leave me alone!"
After the kneeling attendant heard this, he hurriedly retreated as if he had received an amnesty. The palace door creaked shut, and the slightly dark room was empty and quiet. Only Liu Xie was lying on the floor. At this time, Liu Xie was lying on the floor.
Xie said slowly: "Uncle, the situation is corrupt. What should my great-nephew do? What should we do?"
His voice echoed slowly in the palace.
When Wang Can and Cao Cao enter the city, he will definitely become a puppet again.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt very unwilling, really unwilling. He was the most noble man in the Han Dynasty, and everything in the world belonged to him. However, the current situation is that he cannot even have his own freedom.
If you master it, it won't be long before you become a caged bird again, a puppet controlled by Cao Cao or Wang Can.
In the main hall, sighs were lingering and resounding continuously.
…
Cao Ying, the main tent of the Chinese army.
In the big tent, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, Xi Zhicai sat on the left, and on the right sat Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Yue Jin and other generals. Cao Cao glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at Xi Zhicai, saying: "Zhi Zhicai
Well, tomorrow we have a decisive battle with Wang Can, and we must have arrangements for Wang Can's barracks. You are ready and tell everyone."
"promise!"
Xi Zhicai smiled calmly, looking calm and confident. He paused for a moment, and then said loudly: "I have made three preparations for Wang Can's ruined military camp."
"One is the shield soldiers who resist the cavalry. There are four hundred soldiers holding shields to resist the charge of the cavalry."
"The second is the Changge. Each Changge is one foot long and sharp. It is specially used to cut off the four hooves of war horses. This is to prevent the cavalry from breaking the barracks from approaching the army and to prevent the cavalry from attacking. There are a thousand people.
"
"Third, there are eight hundred archers. The eight hundred archers have undergone long-term training and are brave men in the army. The bows they use are strong bows, which are full of power and are used to shoot cavalry from long distances."
Xi Zhicai was full of confidence and said: "With these three preparations, you can use bows and arrows to shoot the cavalry from a distance. When the cavalry approaches, you can use your shield to block it, and then use the long sword to cut off the horse's legs. Once the horse is killed, the cavalry will also be killed."
Ineffective. Although they are ordinary methods, they are enough to withstand Wang Can's cavalry."
When Cao Cao heard this, he repeatedly touched his palms and praised him, saying: "Okay, if you have ambition and talent, defeating Wang Can will be as easy as turning the palm of your hand."
Xiahou Dun geared up and said: "Having blocked Wang Can's broken military camp, the generals can fight with confidence. This time we must defeat Wang Can and drive him back to Yizhou."
The generals said something to you and me, with excited expressions on their faces.
