Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

The two sides fought for nearly half an hour outside the city of Chang'an, and Li Su, Fan Chou, and Duan Yan led the remnant soldiers back to the city.

Dong Zhuo asked, "How many soldiers did we lose in this battle?"

Li Ru replied: "Forty-five thousand people left the city, and 5000 people came back. General Li Jue brought about 1 people. The rest were either killed or captured."

Dong Zhuo was horrified, if this battle continued, they would have no soldiers.

"Immediately block the east, north, south, and three city gates. If Wei Jun wants to enter the city, he must climb the wall."

Li Ru personally led the team and sealed the three city gates with stones. Even if Cao Shuo's men smashed the gates from the outside, it would take a while for them to come in.

Li Ru ordered the soldiers to collect all the idle wood and iron, all of which were used to forge weapons and arrows, and then according to Li Su and Duan Yan's description, they made many longbows, which could shoot two or three hundred paces away.

Cao Shuo sat in the big camp, watching the report of Huang Zhong and others. They also lost a lot in this battle, about 2 people, but most of these people were recruits.

None of his elite soldiers were recruited. These soldiers had been trained for more than half a year, and they hadn't been on the battlefield yet, so they were exposed to blood.

When Cao Shuo was about to fall asleep, Xi Zhi came to his tent.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards in the city have sent news that Dong Zhuo has sealed off the North Gate, East Gate, and South Gate, leaving only the West Gate to pass through."

Cao Shuo said speechlessly, "Isn't this asking for death?"

Did Dong Zhuo think he would attack the city?
Don't be kidding, although he has never seen the defense of Chang'an City with his own eyes, he has also heard Xi Zhicai's report.

Chang'an City's defense materials are very sufficient. When he attacked Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo had already started preparations. After such a long time, it is estimated that the defense materials in Chang'an City were piled up like a mountain.

Xi Zhicai said: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo pinned his hopes on Yan Xing, shall we make arrangements?"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Since Dong Zhuo has blocked the three city gates, there is no need for us to leave so many soldiers to watch over them."

"Notify Gao Shun and Guo Jia to leave [-] soldiers and hand them over to Tian Yu, and then set up scarecrows in the camp to confuse the enemy."

"Let them join forces with Huang Zhong, occupy several county towns west of Chang'an City, and then hide the soldiers in the county towns. As soon as Yan Xing's army comes to Chang'an City, surround him with me."

Cao Shuo arranged for Han Hao, Xia Houjie and others to take over the Dongying and Nanying camps, and all the troops were scattered to the surrounding counties.

"Report to General Yan, General Li Jue is here."

Yan Xing frowned, he already knew the news that Chang'an was besieged.

Li Jue led the army here, and he must have wanted him to rescue Chang'an.

Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing's counselor, said: "General, Dong Zhuo is at the end of his rope. Even if he can survive in Chang'an City for two years, it is impossible to regain the lost territory. We have to consider the way forward."

Liang Xing and Hou Xuan also persuaded: "General, Dong Zhuo must perish. We will return to Chang'an and escape death."

Yan Xing sighed and said, "We commit ourselves to Dong Zhuo's place. If we don't go to rescue this matter, we may be ridiculed by the world. Who would dare to take us in again?"

Cheng Gongying said: "Li Jue led five thousand flying bear troops to the outside of the camp. His purpose is self-evident. If the general doesn't follow him back, then his flying bear army will definitely come in."

"Most of us here are Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army. Originally, the subordinates of Old General Han, under the leadership of Cheng Yin and Li Kan, stationed in Chencang to guard against Liu Bei."

"If Li Jue attacks us, the Xiliang army will definitely rebel, and we will die without a place to bury us."

Yan Xing thought for a while and said, "Sir, I need to help me think of a clever plan."

Cheng Gongying fell into deep thought. After a long time, Cheng Gongying said: "The general can return to Chang'an with Liang Xing and Hou Xuan. You only need to lead Dong Zhuo's [-] Xiliang army."

"As for Chen Cang's [-] troops, we will not move for the time being, so as to leave a way for the general to retreat."

Yan Xing nodded, then walked out of the big tent and came to Li Jue's army.

"What is the general coming here?"

Li Jue said dissatisfiedly: "This general has been waiting for you here for almost two quarters of an hour!"

"Please forgive me, General, the last general is telling the soldiers to pack their bags."

"Oh?" Li Jue stared at Yan Xing with an unkind expression, and would kill him on the spot as long as he had any disobedience.

Yan Xing explained: "The final general heard that Chang'an was besieged, so he planned to withdraw to Chang'an to rescue His Majesty."

"Really?" Li Jue asked coldly.

Yan Xing replied: "The final general is grateful to His Majesty for taking him in, and has no second thoughts about His Majesty."

"In that case, follow me back to Chang'an."

"The last will obey!"

Yan Xing immediately ordered his soldiers to follow Li Jue back to Chang'an, and at the same time he handed over the soldier talisman to Li Jue.

Only in this way will Li Jue believe in himself, and these [-] soldiers will not be so obedient to their orders after seeing Li Jue.

The Xiliang Army was trained by Li Jue himself, and Li Jue's words are sometimes more effective than Dong Zhuo.

The two led the army to Wugong County and stopped.

Li Jue ordered: "After the siege of Chang'an City, Cao Shuo must have taken down all the surrounding counties. We must find a way to bypass the opponent's eyeliner."

Yan Xing suggested: "How about I lead some soldiers to harass the surrounding counties to see if the other party has ambushed, and the general will lead the army and then follow up."

Li Jue thought for a while and said, "This method is feasible."

Li Jue gave Yan Xing five thousand soldiers and horses, and asked him to harass the surrounding counties all the way. If a large enemy army came out, they would choose another way.

However, Yan Xing attacked four or five counties, and the opponents either fled in embarrassment or couldn't hold on.

Li Jue felt that they must have not sent extra soldiers to guard the surrounding county towns, after all, there were not many people here.

Yan Xing didn't lure out the opponent's army, so Li Jue boldly went all the way to E County, west of Chang'an, only a hundred miles away from the city.

When the general of E County saw Li Jue's [-] to [-] troops, he abandoned the city and left.

Li Jue asked his soldiers to rest in the city for a few hours, and waited until night to attack the camp at the west gate of Chang'an City.

"Kill it!"

Not long after Li Jue's army entered the city, several soldiers and horses came from all around.

The leading general was Xu Rong, who captured Gaoguan. He led an army of [-], and together with Zhao Feng and Wang Ling, according to Cao Shuo's instructions, ambushed Dong Zhuo's reinforcements here.

Li Jue hurried to the city wall, saw the large army outside the city, and hurriedly ordered: "Go out of the city, and you must not be surrounded by the other party in the city."

"kill……"

"Xu Rong is here, where will the enemy go!"

Xu Rong?

Yan Xing snorted coldly, he was just a surrendered general of Dong Zhuo, and he charged directly at Xu Rong with his long spear.

Kill the opponent's leading general, and he will be able to defeat the opponent's army.
