Chapter 930 The soldiers I am sending to fight today are definitely not from our country
When Jin Zhun returned to Chang'an City, he first inspected the military camp.
He is now the general of chariots and cavalry, responsible for the entire city defense of Chang'an, and all ministries obey his orders.
But that's just talk. Are so many people really obedient?
There are only ten thousand people in the city including the guards and the imperial troops. Now they are all mixed together and divided into five groups.
Four units were responsible for garrisoning the city head, and one unit was responsible for garrisoning the palace city.
The people in charge of these troops include the Liu Han clan and the Huyan clan, who are in-laws. It is difficult for outsiders to interfere.
To this day, there are only 2,000 people available under the command of Right Guard General Jin Ming. This is because the emperor loves Queen Jin Yuehua very much and also trusts the Jin family, otherwise there would be no chance.
Of course, there are thousands of tribesmen who can be used in the city.
The main force of the tribe has fled westward to Qinzhou, but some of the strongest ones have been conscripted to Chang'an. Jin Zhun used his power to deploy them inside the city instead of leaving them outside to be consumed by the besieging thieves.
There are no less than three thousand people in this group, and they can achieve miraculous results at critical moments.
Jin Zhun was thinking while silently patrolling, and soon came to a camp.
The people stationed here are the servants of wealthy families who were recruited from Chang'an. There are two thousand people in total with average fighting strength. They are commanded by Xin Shu, the governor of Shiping.
When we were about to enter the camp, we heard Xin Shu arguing with someone from a distance. The voice was quite loud and could be vaguely heard outside. From here, we could also see from the side that some people really didn't have much respect for the big man.
"At first, I wanted to recruit troops and hold on in Shiping, but the emperor refused and ordered me to lead troops to help. I obeyed the order, but halfway, the emperor asked me to withdraw my troops, so I obeyed the order again. As a result, I was defeated by the Xianbei people on the way. Three thousand sons. Only a few hundred will go back." Xin Shu's voice was full of resentment, and Jin Zhun could almost imagine that the spittle would be sprayed on people's faces.
"When I returned to Shiping, all the counties and cities were occupied, so I had to rush to Chang'an without any soldiers." Xin Shu continued to complain, only to hear him say: "I am loyal to the emperor. , But how much food and grass have been given to me after several days of siege? I killed a few old and weak horses to satisfy my hunger, so what? "
"I think it's time to surrender in Kaicheng. There is news in the west of the city that Duke Liang is back. If we vote for him, he will make the decision for us and other Xizhou scholars. Isn't it better than waiting to die here?"
"Keep your voice down? What should I be afraid of? I am worthy of the emperor, can the emperor be worthy of me? He treats three thousand men like a monkey, and until now he only sticks to his massacre soldiers and ignores me. Hum, this is It’s called the way to death.”
"Hu Gong is an important minister of the imperial court, shouldn't he persuade the emperor? The emperor's strategy is not difficult to guess. He just waits for the besieging army to collapse, but how can this be so easy? Hou Feihu has been fighting for twenty years. It is clear that it is not that easy for a scholar who suddenly takes charge of the army. I see that the army that besieged the city has not collapsed yet, and the army that defended the city has collapsed first."
"Stop talking, stop talking..." Another voice sounded, which sounded like the voice of Guanglu doctor Hu Xun.
Jin Zhun listened for a while and didn't want to hear anymore, so he left quietly, not even patrolling Xinying.
With a sad look on his face, he arrived at the headquarters of the right guard general Jin Ming in the north of the city.
Jin Ming lived in the tower, but he looked depressed. When Jin Zhun arrived, he was drunk.
"Brother." Seeing Jin Zhun enter, Jin Ming didn't bother to get up and just said hello.
Jin Zhun stood there and looked at his disciple coldly.
Jin Ming couldn't resist his gaze, so he sat upright, cupped his hands, and said, "How are you, brother?"
"It's not good to see you like this." Jin Zhun snorted coldly and said.
"What do I look like?" Jin Ming chuckled and said, "People are going to die. Live day by day. What's wrong with drinking a little wine and playing with women?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of movement in the north of the city, and there were also people shouting above and below the city.
Jin Ming sat at the window, raised his head and took a look, and saw that the besieging army was demolishing the houses outside the city. In order to demolish it faster, they even set fire to it, causing thick smoke to billow.
In the thick smoke, there seemed to be shouts of killing.
Jin Zhun also came over and looked outside the city. He saw more than two thousand cavalry rushing straight along the wide and straight post road, and they violently collided with the Huyan cavalry under King Runan's tent. For a moment, the horse fell off the horse. I don’t know how many.
The knights on both sides did not retreat, but pushed their horses hard and fought repeatedly.
Among the thieves, a disheveled old Qiang was very brave, wearing a brand-new Mingguang armor, rushing left and right, picking, stabbing, or smashing, using his skillful skills to shoot down several people one after another.
The personal followers around him were also extremely brave. They rushed forward with all their strength amidst shouts and screams, and soon blocked the Huyan cavalry in front of them and defeated them.
"Kill!" More disheveled infantrymen rushed up, armed with spears, swords and shields, chasing after the Huns' cavalry and rushing straight into the camp.
There were also thieves coming from both sides.
They were so courageous that they actually dared to walk through the smoke-filled houses, blocking the Huyan cavalry who were going to both sides, and forcing them to move closer to the center.
The Qiang cavalry launched another charge, wedged themselves into the slightly chaotic Huyan cavalry, and cut them into two pieces.
The Diqiang infantry could not fight a tough battle, but their morale was as high as a rainbow in such a smooth battle. They quickly caught up with them, caught the Huyan cavalry running around and killed them, just like chopping melons and vegetables. Extremely brave.
"The charging cavalry is from the Lao Qiang Yao Yi Zhong tribe." A slightly tipsy Jin Ming tried his best to open his eyes wide and said: "The infantry following behind should be Feng Yi and Di Qiang. Those who are outflanking from both sides are the Ba people. , the book that fights in array The situation is normal, but the soldiers are strong and brave, and they are not afraid of death. Alas, I think King Runan may not be able to hold on anymore. He may have suffered more than 2,000 casualties in the past few days. How many people do he have in total? ”
"Has King Runan asked to enter the city?" Jin Zhun asked.
"I mentioned it once this morning, I didn't open the city," Jin Ming said. Jin Zhun glanced at this disciple quietly.
Jin Ming was a little frightened by what he saw, and he was half sober from the wine, and said: "Brother, what do you think I do?"
Jin Zhun didn't answer for a long time. Just when Jin Ming hesitated and wanted to say something, Jin Zhun suddenly smiled and asked: "Do you want to live?"
Jin Ming was stunned at first, then seemed to realize something, then looked at Brother Cong carefully, and after a while he seriously replied: "I want to live."
"If you want to live, just listen to me." Jin Zhun said.
Jin Ming was determined and overjoyed, but still a little unsure, so he asked: "Can he really live?"
"It can survive." Jin Zhun said without hesitation: "There are soldiers and horses outside the city, with nearly two hundred thousand people. If you were the King of Liang, what would you think?"
Jin Ming suddenly realized and said: "If I were the king of Liang, I would surrender some of the troops and let them and the miscellaneous people in Guanzhong monitor each other."
Jin Zhun smiled softly and said: "That's the truth. Besides, the King of Liang declared that 'Yi and Xia are safe', obviously he will not kill all the Xiongnu tribes, so there will be no worries."
After finishing speaking, he sighed again, with slightly red eyes, and said, "Actually, if the situation is not exhausted and the emperor is really not decent, I would not surrender."
"Brother, why do you have to act like this?" Jin Ming relaxed a lot and actually picked up the wine bowl again. After taking a sip, he said with a big tongue: "Actually, I have wanted to surrender. Brother, you have the same idea, right? Why bother-"< br>
"Shut up!" Jin Zhun's face turned cold and he scolded.
Jin Ming laughed and said: "I understand, I understand."
Jin Zhun shook his head helplessly.
There is indeed no need to act. Is it really necessary for the Jin, Bu, Lan, Qiao and other large Huns clans to be buried with the Tu Ge clan?
From Jin Zhun's point of view, they all seemed to have different intentions, but no one took the lead for the time being.
The ones who really followed the Tuge clan all the way to the dark side were probably the fools like the Huyan clan.
They wanted to marry the Tuge clan and get too many benefits, but they couldn't easily separate at this time.
Hou Feihu, who was on the opposite side, was also good at fighting. He actually led the Huyan tribe stationed in the north of the city to attack fiercely, consuming their troops, dampening their morale, and letting other tribes see if following the Tuge clan would end well.
This person is not simple.
There are many people who know how to fight, but at the same time, there are very few who can consider the internal situation of the Xiongnu.
After leaving the north of the city, Jin Zhun went to the west, south and east of the city to take a look.
In the evening, there was another attack in the west of the city. Tu's cavalry defeated thousands of thieves who came to besiege the city, but they did not pursue them, and their morale was extremely low.
After listening to these reports, Jin Zhun was ready to enter the palace to visit the emperor, but was unexpectedly stopped by Hu Yanshi, who was in charge of the palace guard.
Fortunately, Queen Jin Yuehua quietly conveyed the news: The emperor sometimes sighed, sometimes cried silently, and sometimes was so drunk that he had no fighting spirit.
Jin Zhun stood outside the palace for a long time.
Calculating the time, in two or three days, Jin Ming's department can be transferred to guard the palace city.
However, he still had to contact the Jin army in advance.
******
On August 18, there were many flags on the north bank of the Wei River, and soldiers were like rain.
The flag of "General Shao" was erected far away at the head of Gaolu City (today's Gaoling). After hearing the news, the chiefs of various tribes who had not met in advance crossed the river to express their loyalty.
Shao Xun comforted them with gentle words and ordered them to return to their respective camps, but there was one thing: strict restraint on the troops.
After the city is broken, he will distribute donations and rewards in Chang'an City, but private plundering is not allowed - this is also his consistent request. Robbery is allowed, but it must be organized and no random acts are allowed.
In addition, Pei Zhan, a member of the army of the General's Office who supervises the army at Hou Feihu, also quietly reported the Jin family's contact.
After hearing this, Shao Xun smiled lightly.
If the tree falls and the hozens scatter, what else can be done?
After the 50,000 men under his command arrived, there were more than 200,000 troops besieging the city. The strong men of various tribes and wealthy villagers were still transferring grain and grass day and night.
The majesty of the army can be compared to the time when Sima Ying attacked Luoyang from Yecheng more than 20 years ago - the sound of drums continued for hundreds of miles.
"Tell Jin Zhun that if a million-strong army marches to Chang'an and throws a whip at the Wei River, it will almost stop its flow." Shao Xun said with high spirits: "If Jin is the first to initiate a righteous deed, he will be rewarded with titles and titles. If he has merit, he will be innocent. If he hesitates, he will not do it." If you are half-hearted, then continue the fight I have sent you. The soldiers are all non-Chinese. If the Di Qiang dies, the Feng Yi thieves will be reduced; You are our country, you all are from our country, there is no need to die in vain.”
After that, he sat comfortably on the bed and waited for the city to fall.
