Chapter 81?
Huangfu Li was also angry. He twisted his neck, raised his arm, and drove his feet, shouted, "Although Niu Fu has talents, he has no knowledge and strategy. Although he has gathered tens of thousands of people, he can be divided and broken. Although you have old friends with Dong Zhuo, you think you know the depth of the roots. But I, Huangfu Li, are not fools, and I know a little about the reason for this."
"The heroic coach in Liangzhou is still able to subdue him. But if Dong Zhuo is not here, would you guess what will happen? Lu Bu, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's confidant and has gained his trust, but do you think other generals are really convinced? Intrigue is also common, and everyone is coveting the position of the thief in Liangzhou. If Zhongfu does not take action, someone will take Niu Fu and replace him. This thief is not worth worrying."
"Then who are you worried about? Don't think so in everything! Aweng Town Chang'an, you can send a quick horse to send a message to Yuan and Han, and rush the troops eastward to advance. At the east and west, you will first overcome Dong Zhuo's remnants, and regain the Hedong and Heguan areas. Then the army will encircle it. At that time, it will be truly unfair. Withdrawing rashly will only put yourself in a dilemma." Huangfu Hong shouted.
Huangfu Li's eyes were like a dancing lion, lifting them up slantedly, and stretching them up with all their strength.
"You are forcing the Liangzhou Army to bite you, you melon-skinned grandson!"
"If you have the ability, don't scold others!"
"Watch the mountain and watch the tiger fight fall apart. You only need one elite soldier to get it done! You, Gua Pi, have to talk to me about these useless things, joining the Kanto masters, do you think they will really buy it? Will you be willing to send troops?"
...
Listening to the argument between his nephew and his son, Huangfu Song grabbed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and sighed softly.
This son follows him, and even his way of thinking about things.
But he didn't know that the Kanto was not as simple as he thought. Only by holding troops without advancing was their inner desire!
"Report!"
The loud shout of the soldier interrupted the fierce debate in the hall.
Huangfu Li and Huangfu Hong were neither convinced, and they rested with angrily staring.
"Report to the lord, Hanyang General Jiang Zheng led his army to 30,000 and have passed Huaili! General Gai Xun and Wang Zhi led his army to 60,000 in Chencang at this time." The soldiers knelt on the ground and hurriedly reported.
When the generals in the hall heard this, they all changed their colors.
"Liu Yun really all the soldiers from Hanyang rushed in?"
"Chang'an is dangerous!"
"Lord, it's not that we are trying to increase their ambitions. There are actually 20,000 Liu Yun's army outside Chang'an City. This reinforcement is 90,000! Although there are strong cities to defend in Chang'an, the defenders are tight...30,000."
"We also saw Liu Yun's attack with our own eyes. The outer city wall was broken in a blink of an eye, and it was already in Liu Yun's pocket at this time."
...
A 90,000 army, if Liu Yun's 20,000 front troops were added, this was a total of 110,000 armored men...
They were shocked by this number!
They have seen the siege that Liu Yun just launched before, and can only be described as terrifying.
Before the shocks of my heart passed, I heard such a news in a blink of an eye.
An army of 110,000!
This is simply planning to crush them one by one!
Sima Zhang Bing quietly touched the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and hurriedly asked the soldiers, "Did you find out what the enemy's uniform is?"
The armored soldier leaned slightly and replied: "The 30,000 front troops were all covered with iron armor, with about 5,000 heavy armored cavalry. At this time, the rear troops stationed in Chencang were 60,000, and there were about 10,000 Qiang cavalry. The remaining investigations were unknown. The enemy was on high alert, so our scouts were difficult to get close to."
Zhang Bing slowly turned his head and looked at Huangfu Song, waved his hand to repel the armored soldiers, and called out, "Lord!"
Huangfu Song knew what Zhang Bing wanted to say, and the generals in the hall also understood it in their hearts.
Huangfu Song looked in front of him with his left hand, pinching his right hand, and then his right hand, in exchange for different ways.
The soldiers in the hall watched him pinch his hands, and then he kept pinching them over and over again.
After a long time, Huangfu Song raised his head suddenly and said in a deep voice: "The terrain of Chang'an City is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so you should not retreat easily. Split troops to defend Tongguan and Wuguan, use calmness to prevent the news from Liang Yan first."
"Lord, time is endless. Liu Yun's method of siege is extremely sharp. I don't know what the thing that can burst out violently and shake is, but our army is powerless and has nowhere to defend. The outer city wall was blown up by this object. Liu Yun took advantage of the victory to invade, and our army retreated step by step." Zhang Bing insisted.
In his opinion, if you don’t retreat at this time, you will sit and wait for death.
Huangfu Song raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Is there any strong city in the world that is comparable to Chang'an?"
Zhang Bing said: "What the lord said is not bad. Chang'an is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this is for ordinary troops. Liu Yun has an unknown weapon to attack the city, and there are 110,000 tiger and wolf troops, so Chang'an cannot stop him! If the lord insists on abandoning Chang'an, he may find another strategy to control Liu Yun."
In the siege battle that just happened in front of you, everyone noticed that the siege equipment used by Liu Yun was not an ordinary catapult. As soon as it fell, the hard city wall instantly turned into powder, and there was a blast and a flame that soared into the sky.
They are all generals who have experienced a lot of battle formations, but no one has seen such a horrifying thing.
"Hanzhong City is also a strong city, but it did not resist Liu Yun's siege for an hour, and it was broken!" Zhang Bing added leisurely.
When he told this fact three days ago, no one believed him.
But now, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, so it should be believed.
Under Zhang Bing's insistence, Huangfu Song slowly relaxed his persistence, but he was very conflicted.
Or, he is a contradictory person himself.
The most favorable choice for him actually does not require advice from everyone under his command. Huangfu Song has always been aware of it.
But Chang'an City is not an ordinary city, but the western capital of the Han Dynasty, where the accompanying capital is located.
It is even more of a shame for him to retreat without fighting!
Recommending Liu Yun is not what Huangfu Song really wants.
The thief is the thief after all!
The discussion has not yet reached a conclusion, and the shouts of the soldiers rang out again.
"Reported that there was a large-scale riot in the city, thousands of people rushed to the military camp with their weapons, and even some... tried to open the city gate. Although they had been suppressed, the people gathered together and were still eyeing them, and dozens of people had gathered together." The soldier said in fear and trepidation.
"Lord!" Zhang Bing shouted anxiously, "Don't stop suffering from chaos!"
Huangfu Song waved his hand in an upset, stood up, and sighed, "All the generals obey orders, reorganize the army immediately and withdraw from Chang'an. Zheng He led 3,000 troops to guard Wuguan, and the No. 1 Xiong led 5,000 troops to guard Tongguan to resist the coming army. General Li Ding led 5,000 troops to the front army, and Cheng Hua led 2,000 light cavalry to cut off the rear, and the troops entered Huayin and Mianchi."
"Here!"
When the generals accepted the order in unison, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In previous wars, the defending city had the advantage of time and place, but in the face of this unknown Hanyang prefect, they encountered huge problems, which can be said to be constrained everywhere.
