Chapter 108 Disintegration of the Alliance
Among the group of soldiers who fled from Hu Zhen, the highest rank was only a village chief, and now he can be regarded as the leader of the group.

He stopped suddenly, and said loudly towards the soldiers behind, "Everyone, if I go to the leader like this, I will definitely be punished by the leader. After all, it was caused by my failure to guard the barracks."

"When I served as the head of the village under the lord, I heard from the military marquis that the relationship between the lord and Lu Bu and Xu Rong is not good, but the relationship with Guo Si and Fan Chou is good. Now that I have escaped from the barracks, it is better to go to Fan General, I heard that General Fan fought bravely and has a normal relationship with the Allied forces, so he will definitely not blame us."

The group of ordinary soldiers who fled didn’t know the relationship between the generals, but they had no choice at the moment. Being a refugee is not a good thing, especially now that the fields have been annexed by local wealthy families, so after thinking about it for a while, They still decided to follow the arrangement of the head of the village.

"I don't understand either. I will do what the head of the village says."

The others echoed together.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's take another route and go to the north gate of Chang'an City. I heard from the military officer that General Fan is in charge of attacking the north wall of Chang'an City."

So this group of people, under the leadership of the head of the village, changed to the road to the north gate of Chang'an.

It's just that there are more than [-] soldiers in the huge Hu Zhen barracks, especially when it was attacked at night, how could there be only such a few soldiers who escaped, and there will naturally be others who choose to go to the leader.

The offensive in the north of the city was very fierce, especially with the addition of Li Jue, Fan Chou was only responsible for attacking the west side of the northern city wall, and the pressure was greatly reduced at once.

At the beginning of the north city wall, the pressure increased sharply, and General Yan Zhong even sent a letter to Huangfusong for help. However, when he just finished writing, Zhang Meng had already brought [-] soldiers here.

With Zhang Meng's support, the north wall of Chang'an City was finally defended. No matter how fierce the offensive below the city was, the top of the city was still unbreakable.

After attacking for half an hour, Li Jue and Fan Chou sounded their drums to stop their troops, and withdrew the vanguard troops to the garrison camp.

Soldiers patrolling outside Li Jue's barracks saw a group of soldiers approaching in the distance. Although the group of soldiers had almost no armor on them, and even the knives in their hands were only owned by the few in front, he could still tell at a glance that this was a group of soldiers. Trained soldiers.

The head of the village watched the patrolling soldiers walking towards this side, and he gradually slowed down. After the patrolling soldiers approached, he asked loudly.

"Is this General Fan's barracks?"

"No, this is General Li's barracks. Who are you and what are you here for?"

The head of the village was stunned. When he was in the barracks, the marquis said that General Fan was in charge of the north city wall, but he went around and came across the allied army.

"We are General Hu's subordinates, looking for General Fan."

"I don't care who you are looking for, since you have passed by here, please stay in the army for a while." The patrolling soldier said.

"Come on, take this group of people down."

Soon, dozens of patrolling soldiers wearing armor and holding knives surrounded the group of people.

The head of the village did not dare to make any mistakes, even though there were dozens of people on both sides, but on one side were dozens of people who had traveled long distances and had not yet put on armor and knives, and on the other side were dozens of people who were ready to go. If they fought, it would only be themselves die.

The head of the village quickly made everyone drop their knives, and was taken to Li Jue's barracks as a prisoner.

The leader of the patrolling soldiers also reported the matter to Captain Li Xian, and after careful consideration, Captain Li Xian reported this to Li Jue.

Li Xian, Li Jue's nephew, served as a lieutenant in Li Jue's army, responsible for the security of the barracks.

"General, the soldiers under my patrol said that they met a group of soldiers outside the barracks. They said they were Hu Zhen's subordinates and they came here to find Fan Chou."

"Hu Zhen's subordinates? Shouldn't his subordinates be in the Ba Ling barracks at this moment? Why are they here?"

"General, I also feel puzzled, so I reported this to the general in advance."

"You go and ask your subordinates to bring all these people here, and I will inquire personally."

Li Xian quickly asked the patrol soldiers to escort all these people to the school ground where Li Jue was.

Li Jue looked at the dozens of people below, with a look of tiredness on his face. It seemed that this group of people must have walked a long way, and the shoes on their feet were already tattered.

"You say you are Hu Zhen's subordinate, what proof do you have?"

"I have a seal here, the general can send someone to search."

The head of the village first said that although this place was not where Fan Chou lived, he did not dare to do anything in front of Li Jue, and his hands and feet were still tied with ropes.

Under Li Jue's signal, the servants around him quickly found a seal from the head of the village. Li Jue took a serious look and found that it was really Hu Zhen's subordinate.

"Hu Zhen is not in the barracks to defend properly at the moment, why did you send you to look for General Fan?"

"General, we were not sent by General Hu. The barracks was raided by a group of cavalry last night. We managed to escape by taking advantage of the darkness. As for looking for General Fan, that was my idea. The general has nothing to do."

"The cavalry raided the barracks? Can you see who is coming?"

The head of the village looked at the fellow prisoners and asked, "The general asked if you saw clearly the cavalry who raided the barracks last night?"

Several people below were thinking about their experience of fleeing last night, and suddenly one person said loudly, "Tun Chief, I know who those people are. People rushed into the barracks. Although I didn't recognize the tallness of the man, I could see the horse. It was the red rabbit horse. I have seen the red rabbit horse that is said to travel thousands of miles a day. Will be wrong."

"Red rabbit horse?" Li Jue said loudly.

Some of the captives below joined in.

"Yes, I also saw the red rabbit horse"

The reputation of Lu Bu among men and Chitu among horses has already spread throughout Dong Zhuo's army camp, especially Lu Bu also likes riding Chitu horses, so many people have seen Chitu horses.

"Then it should be Lu Bu who attacked the barracks. Where's your lord Hu Zhen? Where did he go?"

"General, we didn't see General Hu along the way. Even our group escaped from the encirclement of Lu Bu's army only after finding a chance. If we rode horses or took the road, we might not be able to get here. As for the others, some are exiles, and some are not with us."

Li Jue still understood what the head of the village meant, probably because Hu Zhen had already been arrested by Lu Bu.

"Put this group of people down for the time being."

"Yes, General."

Lieutenant Li Xian asked his subordinates to take the group of people to the prisoner in the army, while he himself stayed here.

"General, what these prisoners said must be correct, but if this is the case, how should we deal with ourselves?"

"Li Xian, go to Guo Bang and report this matter to Guo Bang."

"Yes, General."

After Li Xian left the barracks, Li Jue felt a little bored.

The barracks fell, and Hu Zhen was arrested. This matter is not big or small. Although Hu Zhen is useless, he is also an ally. If he goes back to rescue now, the siege will have to wait for the next time. If he went back to rescue him, Hu Zhen would die.

Is it just that the imperial army attacked the barracks to encircle Wei and save Zhao?But why did the imperial army just choose the right time, and the allied army attacked the barracks when they arrived in Chang'an City. Is it such a coincidence?

At this moment, Li Jue finally thought of an important thing, that is, Jia Xu said that he came here because there was nothing serious about the military camp, but now it seems that the military camp is no big deal, it has already been breached by Lu Bu , then why did Jia Xu hide this matter?
No, Chang'an City was besieged on three sides, how did Lu Bu's army reach their barracks?
Soon, Li Jue also thought of this, and his resourcefulness was indeed the highest among allied forces except Jia Xu.

Although Li Jue thought the same way, he was just suspicious. He didn't send someone to question Xu Rong and the others like Niu Fu did. After all, he was not the leader of the alliance.

However, Li Jue decided that he would not attack Chang'an City again until the matter was clarified. Such an important event happened in the barracks, but the leader and the supervising army kept it from them.

And Li Xian has also arrived at Guo Si's army, the road during the day is much easier than the night, so it only takes a quarter of an hour to go from Li Jue's army to Guo Si's army.

At this moment, Guo Si was still following the order of the leader to attack the city, and he was still a little surprised to see Li Xian coming.

"General Guo, the Ba Ling barracks has fallen, and Hu Zhen has also been captured by Lu Bu."

Guo Bang was very surprised after hearing this, he did not expect such a thing to happen.

"Li Xian, tell me everything."

Then Li Xian told Guo Bang everything that happened in the general's camp. Guo Bang was furious after hearing this, and he was going to tell the leader about it.

"General, wait a minute, the leader may have known about this. Do you still remember the incident when the overseer came? At that time, the barracks had actually been attacked, but the leader and the overseer kept it from everyone. What is the intention of the leader? The general should understand."

"What you mean is that Niu Fu knew about the attack on the barracks a long time ago, but he still pretended not to know and tricked us into continuing to attack the city here."

"Yes, General."

"Niu Fu, a bastard, how dare he do such a thing. I thought he was focused on avenging the prime minister, so I didn't care about his lack of ability, but now it seems that he has harmed us. Attacking is nothing but attacking the city, we have lost a lot, but we have gained nothing."

"Yes, General."

"You go back first, I will withdraw my troops later and join General Li."

"Yes, General."

After completing the task, Li Xian returned to the camp immediately.

After Li Xian left, Guo Bang ordered the drums to stop the soldiers, so he would not care about the leader's face. He has always been willful in doing things. deceive them.

Compared with fighting at night, fighting during the day was indeed clearly seen, so after Guo Si withdrew his troops, Niu Fu and Zhang Ji quickly discovered this anomaly, and Zhang Ji also ordered the drums to be called to stop the troops. There was no motivation to attack the city. In the end, Niu Fu saw that only his army was still attacking the city before the battle, so he had to beat the drums and stop the troops.

Niu Fu ordered his servants to go to Guo Si's army to inquire about the specific situation. Because Guo Si's retreat disrupted the rhythm of the siege, Niu Fu's army, which was the last to withdraw, suffered the most losses.

The attendant soon brought back news from Guo Si, and Guo Si told Niu Fu's attendant all the news he had received, and he no longer planned to meet with Niu Fu's army unless the leader told him why he did so.

Niu Fu was very surprised to hear the servant's words, because he has not received this news yet, and he only guessed what happened in the Ba Ling barracks from Jia Xu's mouth, and has not yet received accurate information.

But just when Niu Fu was wondering, the soldiers who escaped from the barracks happened to arrive at his barracks and were brought by his men.

From these Hu Zhen's soldiers, Niu Fucai finally learned everything that happened in the Baling Barracks, and it seemed that it was really the same as what Guo Bang said.

And Niu Fu also punished these soldiers who came to report for the crime of dereliction of duty.

After dealing with these matters, Niu Fu asked his servants to invite Jia Xu.

Niu Fu is very irritable now. As the leader of the alliance, he actually learned about the news of the military camp later than Guo Bang, and now Guo Bang has decided that he has been deceived. With Guo Bang's stupid head, it is really too difficult to persuade.

If there is no way to persuade Guo Bang, Zhang Ji will not attack the city again.

What Niu Fu didn't know was that Zhang Ji had already sent envoys to Guo Si's army, and also learned about the attack on Baling's barracks.

After Jia Xu arrived, Niu Fu had no choice but to ask.

"Wen He, Guo Si thought that I knew about the fall of Ba Ling a long time ago, so he thought that I was deceiving him. In fact, I also learned about it just now."

"Leader, Guo Si doesn't think too much. The reason why he thinks you deceived him is because Li Jue told him. So in fact, as long as the leader can convince Li Jue, the rest of the allies don't have to worry."

"Then what shall I do?"

"I can go to Li Jue's army as an envoy to persuade Li Jue for the lord."

"Then we will get rid of Brother Wen He."

Niu Fu would never have imagined that when he called Jia Xu here, Jia Xu was already thinking of a way out, and the current alliance was on the verge of collapse. Neither Li Jue nor Guo Si believed in Niu Fu, and Zhang Ji He's just a follower, he can't make up his mind, everyone like Xu Rong has already surrendered to the court.

This also meant that the siege of Chang'an was on the verge of failure. Even though he was extremely talented, he could not save the alliance that was about to collapse. Since he could not save the alliance, he could only seek better development for himself.

Today's alliance has a total of five forces, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou. Among them, Niu Fu, whether he is the lord or a general, has the lowest ability among this group of people. Following Niu Fu will never have a good future. Among the other four forces, Fan Chou and Guo Si are typical examples of courage and lack of strategy. Places to go.

Finally, after much deliberation, Jia Xu decided to join Li Jue.Only by joining forces can we have a chance to survive in this troubled world.
