Three Kingdoms

Dark clouds were gathering, and the sky was so overcast that it felt as if the entire sky was about to collapse, which made people feel extremely depressed in their chests and hearts.

"What? That person is missing? Why is he missing? Didn't I tell you to wait and keep an eye on me? Why are you keeping an eye on me? Huh?" Early in the morning, Li Jue heard that Zhao Wen actually disappeared when he was approaching Chang'an. He couldn't help but angrily took the horse whip and whipped the military lord who was responsible for the surveillance several times.

The military lord did not dare to dodge or cry out for pain. He resisted forcefully and did not even dare to wipe the blood left on his torn forehead. The Marquis was also helpless. Last night he saw Zhao Wen sleeping with his head covered in the carriage. However, when he looked again at dawn the next day, the carriage was already empty...

Zhao Wen disappeared as mysteriously as he appeared out of nowhere.

Li Jue whipped him a few times, and his anger subsided a little. He knew that even if he cut the military prince into pieces now, it would be impossible for Zhao Wen to reappear, so he yelled at the military prince: "Useless trash. piss off!"

Guo Bang frowned and said, "When this person leaves...it will be troublesome..."

In addition to bringing them a large amount of food and grass, Zhao Wen also told them some of Chang'an's actual and false arrangements. Of course, these facts also helped Li Jue and Guo Si successfully attack the city gate of Chang'an, and The fight for the market square in Chang'an City began, and they gradually approached the imperial city.

But now that Zhao Wen has left, the truth about Li Jue and Guo Si has also been brought to the people in Chang'an. They are almost rushing over a long distance to attack. In fact, both the physical strength of the soldiers and the subsequent reinforcements are all weak. Once the attack momentum is hindered and the tone between the soldiers relaxes, it is a precursor to a complete defeat!

what to do?

At this point, it is definitely impossible to retreat.

But if we continue to attack the imperial city according to the original plan, how will we be able to resist the attack of the defenders of the tombs behind us?

Although Zhao Wen repeatedly patted his chest and vowed that the defenders of the tombs were under the control of the Hongnong Yang family and would not cross the Wei River, which reassured Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and he also said that he could not say anything at the critical moment. He will also help Li Jue and others, etc., but now that even Zhao Wen himself has disappeared, how can Li Jue, Guo Si and others believe in the so-called guarantees made before?

If Zhao Wen is still in the army, Li Jue and Guo Si will feel somewhat at ease in their hearts. However, in the current situation, it seems that yesterday's allies are no longer so reliable, and the army near the Wei River Lingyi is no longer theirs. With help, there is a high possibility that they will become their opponents...

"Weishui Bridge!" Guo Bang suddenly said.

In fact, both Li Jue and Guo Bang were relatively familiar with the terrain of Chang'an. Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are on the Longshouyuan Highlands in the south of Chang'an City. It may not be that easy to attack the imperial city. Li Jue and Guo Si are not sure how long they can take the imperial city. Door.

As for the north-south transportation across the Wei River, the channels that allowed the soldiers of Lingyi to pass through were one bridge and one beach. The bridge is the Weishui Bridge in the south of Maoling, and the tidal flat is the Lingtan Ferry at Bully. The ferry is okay, as long as some strong bows and crossbows are placed on the tidal flat, the soldiers who are trying to cross the river can't walk around. But only the Weishui Stone Bridge on the south side of Maoling was wide and strong. Even if Li Jue and Guo Bang tried to destroy it, they couldn't do it.

If the Weishui Bridge cannot be blocked, it means that the coalition forces of Li Jue, Guo Si and others may fall into a situation of being attacked from the north and the south!

Should we send soldiers to the south side of the Weishui Bridge to contain it?

Not very realistic.

If the troops are divided too little, it will not be of much use. If the troops are divided too much, Chang'an City will not be able to control it, let alone attack the imperial city. In the end, it will be in vain?

What to do?

Fan Chou led the vanguard to capture the city gate of Chang'an. Hu Zhen led the follow-up reinforcements and calculated the time and should have arrived in Chang'an. If they had followed the original plan, Li Jue and Guo Si would have arrived with their troops today at the latest. Under Chang'an City, participate in the attack and complete the final siege of the imperial city...

Although plans can never keep up with changes, Li Jue and Guo Bang were not talented and intelligent people to begin with. After they suddenly received a large amount of military rations and Xiliang skirmishers, they did not think thoroughly about the sudden expansion. What backup plan is there for the plan to attack Chang'an?

Now when they suddenly found themselves facing a difficult choice, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little confused, and they couldn't think of any solution for a while...

"Two generals..." From the rear of the military column, a man and several soldiers came up on horseback and said with a smile, "...why is the queue slowing down? But what happened?"

"Wen He!" Li Jue was immediately overjoyed and laughed loudly and said, "Why are you here? Oh my, these bastards didn't come to report and failed to greet Wen He. It's really rude of me!"

Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "Jia arrived last night. Seeing that the two generals were in trouble on the road, he didn't let the soldiers disturb him... What's the matter? Why don't you rush into Chang'an?"

"This..." Li Jue was slightly embarrassed.

The plan to attack Chang'an did not involve Jia Xu. It was made by the two of them and Zhang Wen. The reason for deliberately squeezing out Jia Xu was because they found that Jia Xu actually had more influence in the Xiliang army than they did. If it comes too strong, a letter can make Hu Zhen change his position at the last moment. If Jia Xu continues to develop, there is no doubt that the two of them will be sidelined by Jia Xu that day and there will be nothing they can do.

Therefore, Li Jue and Guo Si consciously did not want Jia Xu to participate at the time, but now the plan made without Jia Xu has problems...

"Wen He... this is like this..." Seeing Li Jue's expression of embarrassment, Guo Si took over the conversation, explained it to Jia Xu, and then said, "... Wen He has a good plan. If it's a big deal, he can Well, even if Guo doesn’t want his official position, he still wants to give Wen He a bright future!”

"Yes! I must give Wen He the title of Marquis!" Li Jue was also patting his chest.

Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said: "You two generals don't have to do this. This is a life-saving strategy. What's the point? Besides, Jia's heart is not above the court. He just wants to return home safely. As for the official position of Marquis, it's okay... …”

Li Jue and Guo Bang looked at each other, and then hurriedly said: "... Then, you also need brocade clothes when you return home, right? After returning to Chang'an, Wen He can get gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of treasures for himself..."

"Haha... That's fine..." Jia Xu smiled slightly and finally nodded and accepted. Li Jue and Guo Bangfang breathed a sigh of relief. From the perspective of Li Jue and Guo Si, if Jia Xu doesn't want anything, then they are really not convinced by Jia Xu's strategy. But now that the interests are tied together, this can give Li Jue and Guo Si some peace of mind. .

"It's just the Weishui Bridge..." Jia Xu said with a smile, but there was a deep chill in his smile, "...what's so difficult about this? The two generals can just do this..."
