Chapter 97 The Last Moment
Inside the general's tent at the Chengdong Barracks
"General, the enemy troops outside the city seem to be evacuating?" the school captain Liang Yan asked.

On the second day after the enemy troops in the west of the city withdrew, Liang Yan, the school lieutenant who was stationed in the west of the city, returned to the east of the city again. From Huangfu Song, he already knew about Xu Rong's surrender, and it was agreed outside the city that tomorrow night Initiate an attack on Chang'an City.

However, there is still one day before the enemy army outside the city attacks Chang'an City, but why the enemy army outside the city has already started packing up?It stands to reason that now only a few generals and their school lieutenants know the news of Xu Rong's surrender.Could it be that there are people in Chang'an City who can't leak the secret?No, His Majesty has closed the East City Gate two days ago, and now it is not easy to spread the news, unless it is not the news of people, but the news of animals?

There were already carrier pigeons in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which could also be used to deliver messages, although it was very troublesome.

Huangfusong was not as violent as Liang Yan's reaction. He didn't know if the news had been passed on. Although only a few people knew the time when the enemy army officially attacked the city, no one could know which of these few people could be the internal responders. In other words, no one will know for a short time.

Just like Li Meng, Wang Fang didn't know who was the internal response in the allied army, not because he couldn't find out, but because it took time, the same is true for the defenders in the city now, the enemy army outside the city didn't wait until the agreed time. Action, but now there is action.Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that people will not suspect that there are also internal support among the defenders of Chang'an City.

Of course, Li Jue, Jia Xu and others did not expect that their strategy of suspicious soldiers would have such an effect in the city. Their plan was to use the fake withdrawal of troops to relax the guards. You know, the guards in the east of the city It has always been the most stressful among the four city walls. They see the 10,000+ army stationed in front of them every day, and their hearts have been very tormented. Although there is a new military merit system, killing the enemy can get far more military merit than before, but in In front of an army of 10,000+, how can ordinary soldiers not panic, they don't know the exact time of the enemy's attack.

Huangfusong hesitated for a moment, then said, "For the time being, we will follow the original plan and make preparations for tomorrow, and now notify all the generals above the military rank to appease the soldiers under them. At noon tomorrow, we will notify the commander above Generals, keep them all awake."

Although Huangfusong didn't know the enemy's intentions, he had always been very cautious, so he was not moved by it, but he could not be affected by the enemy's withdrawal, but it was difficult for ordinary city guards. I have already seen the appearance of the enemy's retreat, presumably the news will be known by the whole battalion tomorrow, and the soldiers guarding the city will definitely relax by then.

"Yes, General" Then the school lieutenant Liang Yan took the general's order to summon all the soldiers.

I saw Huangfusong's personal guards outside the account came in, and then said, "General, General Lu is here."

"Let him in." Huangfusong said.

Ever since Lv Bu defended the city on the first day, the news between Huangfusong and Lv Bu has never been broken. After all, as the highest commander guarding Chang'an City, they need to know each other's situation at all times, but since Li Meng and Wang Fang withdrew their troops Afterwards, Lu Bu had no more pressure, so he temporarily handed over the task of defending the city to his subordinate Wei Xu, while he himself led [-] troops to the east gate.

After a while, Lu Bu left Huangfusong's army account.

"General Huangfu, what's happening outside the city recently? Do you need my help to garrison?" Lu Bu said slowly.

Huangfusong did not answer Lu Bu's question directly. Two days ago, he received a letter from His Majesty, telling Li Meng that the real reason for Wang Fang's retreat was because of Li Su's visit, which made Li Meng and Wang Fang no longer trust the allied forces. Only then had to retreat.It's just that the same thing will happen on his side, so I'm somewhat confused. Could it be that the envoys sent by His Majesty have already convinced Niu Fu and others?
"Li Meng, Wang Fang, did you really retreat?" Huangfusong asked.

"Really retreated. Today's spies reported to me that last night, Li Meng and Wang Fang's subordinates had arrived outside Chencang City." Lu Bu said, he sent more than one spies, and the results he said were not much different. , so he believed that Li Meng and Wang Fang had really withdrawn from the army.

"That's good. The enemy troops outside my city seem to have retreated, but I don't know if the reason for their retreat is the same as yours. I just sent a close aide to the palace to ask His Majesty if the previous The result of the mission." Huangfusong didn't know that the envoys sent by His Majesty before were just to confuse the enemy and did not intend to achieve results, so he didn't inform Huangfusong of the results. In Huangfusong's view, it should be Failed, so he continued to defend the city.

"Alright, if my subordinate Hou Cheng hadn't informed me of the news before, I wouldn't have known that His Majesty still had this trick. It must have been Li Ru's idea." Lu Bu also heard that Li Ru had become a servant when he was in the west of the city. He was somewhat moved by the news.

"Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's subordinate, why does Your Majesty think of reusing him?" Huangfusong thought in his heart, it's fine to appoint Lv Bu, and now Li Ru is still used. Does Your Majesty take over all of Dong Zhuo's subordinates?I just want to think about it, but at this moment, facing Lu Bu, who is also a surrendered general, he can't say that.

"Your Majesty, it's a clever calculation. Maybe the enemy's retreat may be related to His Majesty, but I still have to stick to this place. I can breathe a sigh of relief only after the enemy retreats completely." Huangfusong said.

"General Lu, my army here is enough to guard the east gate of Chang'an City. You might as well guard the north gate and the south gate separately. Although the enemy troops in these two places are not enough to prove it, you should always take precautions." Huangfusong continued. He said, although there are many elite soldiers under Lu Bu, if His Majesty appoints two supreme commanders to guard the gate at the same time, it will be bad if there is a difference of opinion, so he must find a reason to send Lu Bu away.

Lu Bu soon thought of this. Under normal circumstances, he and Huangfusong were the highest commanders, and each of them was in charge of the two parts of Chang'an City. Huangfusong was responsible for the safety of the east and north walls, while he was in charge of It is the safety of the west city wall and the south city wall. However, there are no enemy troops on the west city wall and the south city wall now, but there are still more than 3000 defenders left. As for the north city gate, although Fan Chou is stationed here, the number of Fan Chou soldiers After many attacks, there were less than 5000 soldiers, while there were still [-] soldiers defending the north wall.

Even if the east wall does not have the [-] soldiers led by Lu Bu, there are nearly [-] soldiers defending the city. Such a large number of soldiers can withstand several rounds of attacks by the enemy outside the city. There is no chance of winning outside the city.

But this means that in this battle, Lu Bu's army has nothing to gain, and all military achievements have nothing to do with him, nor with his soldiers.
