On the fourth watch day, the night guards at the Tonghua Gate of Chang'an City suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from far outside the city. Looking from a distance, there were figures swaying in the darkness, and it seemed that a large number of people were rushing towards Chang'an City...
A piercing alarm bell sounded immediately on the top of the city, and then dozens of torches were lit, illuminating the upper and lower parts of the city like daylight.
The soldiers on duty at night looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, staring at the city one by one, with nervousness and uneasiness in their eyes.
Not long after, an army of more than 1000 soldiers appeared below the city, but they were wearing the armor of the Liangzhou army. The defenders on the city couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, according to the rules, some soldiers rushed to the pass and asked loudly: "Who are you?"
Under the city, Zeng Yuan calmed down, then rushed to the gate and shouted loudly: "I am the captain Zeng Yuan who is in charge of guarding the Longshouyuan camp. I have important military information to report to General Shang. I hope my brothers in the city will do something about it." convenient."
The shouting soldier tried to identify for a while with the help of the firelight, and he was sure that the person who answered the call from the city was the captain Zeng Yuan, but he was a little embarrassed to look at the night. At this time, General Shang was sleeping soundly. If he wakes him up now, he is not out of intention to make trouble ?
"Lieutenant Zeng, it's getting so late, General Shang has already gone to bed, why don't you come back at dawn tomorrow."
"No, tomorrow will be too late." Zeng Yuan glanced at Peng Qi who was hiding among the soldiers, gritted his teeth, and then shouted to the city, "Hurry up and report to General Shang, just say We found tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops dozens of miles away, and they are attacking in the direction of Chang'an City."
Zeng Yuan's voice was so loud that the soldiers on the city could hear it clearly, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Lieutenant Zeng, wait a moment, I'll report to General Shang right away." The soldier who shouted explained, and then disappeared at the top of the city.
In a large house in Shengyefang, Shang Nan was sleeping soundly, but suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, waking him up from his sleep. Naturally, his mood was not much better, and he shouted out of the door in great annoyance. :"What's up?"
"General Shang, Lieutenant Zeng said that there is an urgent military situation and wants to see you." The person outside the door replied cautiously.
"Lieutenant Zeng? Which Captain Zeng?" At this moment, Shang Nan only felt sleepy, and his head was even more groggy.
"It's General Zeng Yuan, Captain Zeng that you sent to guard Longshouyuan camp!"
Upon hearing the words "Longshouyuan Camp", Shang Nan suddenly became sober, and then asked anxiously, "What happened to Longshouyuan Camp? Where is Zeng Yuan now?"
"Lieutenant Zeng said that they found tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops dozens of miles away, and they are attacking in the direction of Chang'an City. He is now outside Tonghua Gate."
As soon as he heard that tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops had appeared outside Chang'an City, Shang Nan lost all sleepiness for a moment, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and hurried to Tonghua Gate with the people who came.
With the help of the torch on the top of the wall, Shang Nan really saw that the person who was shut down was none other than Zeng Yuan, the school lieutenant he had sent to guard the Longshouyuan camp. There were thousands of people behind him. It was the thousand soldiers he sent to garrison the Longshouyuan camp.
Shang Nan couldn't help feeling deeply angry, this Zeng Yuan was so courageous, not only left his post without authorization, but also dared to bring soldiers back to Chang'an without authorization, did he take himself as the master seriously?
"Lieutenant Zeng, you are so courageous. I ordered you to lead a thousand troops to garrison Longshouyuan camp. How dare you withdraw troops from Longshouyuan camp without my permission? What should you do?" Crime!" Because of anger in his heart, Shang Nan's tone was very cold, and even faintly revealed murderous intent.
Zeng Yuan shivered involuntarily, looked up at Shang Nan on the city with an angry expression on his face, and hurriedly explained: "General Shang calms down, the humble officer has no choice but to do this, tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops are only a few dozen miles away from the Longshouyuan camp. They will all be killed afterward, if we don't retreat, I'm afraid we will be buried in the Longshouyuan camp."
Shang Nan's anger remained unabated: "You really saw tens of thousands of Jiaozhou troops appearing nearby?"
Zeng Yuan secretly glanced at Peng Qi who was behind him with some guilty conscience, and once again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, General Shang, what our scouts saw with their own eyes is absolutely true."
Before Zeng Yuan wondered why Peng Qi didn't tell Shang Nan about the appearance of the Jiaozhou Army in Guanzhong instead of telling Shang Nan himself, but Peng Qi's explanation was that he and Shang Nan had always been at odds, and he once led [-] soldiers Ma abandoned the camp and left. If he told Shangnan that the Jiaozhou army had appeared outside the city, Shangnan would not believe him, let alone let him enter the city. Therefore, it is more appropriate for Zeng Yuan to think about it, and Zeng Yuan seems to have some sense.
At this time, on the top of the city, Shang Nan's expression changed and he looked into the distance, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness of the night, let alone whether there were Jiaozhou troops in or out, so he hesitated for a while.
Before the king of Qin set out to go out, he repeatedly told him to keep the city gates closed and not to give the enemy any chance. It would be a big risk to open the city gates during the day today. Now the situation is not clear, if they open the city gates again However, if the Jiaozhou army suddenly arrives, and the gates cannot be closed in time, the city of Chang'an will not be able to be kept.
But if he didn't open the city gate to let them in now, if the Jiaozhou army really came to kill him at dawn, he could only watch these thousand soldiers die outside the city.
Under the city, Zeng Yuan saw that Shang Nan had no intention of asking anyone to open the city gate to let them in, and felt anxious: "General Shang, you send someone to open the city gate to let us in first, otherwise once the Jiaozhou Army If it is killed, more than 1000 of us will die without a place to bury them."
Shang Nan was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "At this moment, the matter is very important, you go back to the Longshouyuan camp first, I will send someone to investigate the military situation tomorrow, and then make a decision."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar outside the city, everyone showed a look of indignation, and many soldiers on duty at night also showed their expressions of resentment.
Shang Nan looked condescendingly in his eyes, and his face was very ugly, but he couldn't help it. Who told him that his most important duty was to guard Chang'an.
At this time, someone in the city shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't you understand? This Shang has already decided to abandon us. He just wants us to die at the hands of the Jiaozhou Army."
This sentence was like pouring a ladle of hot oil into boiling hot water, and the Liangzhou army below the city exploded immediately. Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and cursed at Shangnan above the city.
Even Zeng Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted to Shang Nan on the city: "General Shang, it was you who told me with red mouth and white teeth during the day that you just sent us to garrison Longshouyuan camp to investigate the enemy's situation. , you will never care about our life and death, now it's only night, won't your words count?"
Shang Nan's face became more and more ugly, but he still tried to comfort him with nice words: "Lieutenant Zeng, you misunderstood, I don't mean to care about your life or death, but this matter is of great importance, I must send someone to investigate the situation first. "
"By the time you send someone to investigate the situation, we're already dead!" Before Zeng Yuan could reply, someone refuted it loudly.
I don't know who else in the crowd shouted: "Brothers, since Shang won't let us enter the city and wants to force us to death, why don't we turn against him?"
"Yes! Damn it!" Someone in the crowd echoed loudly.
Seeing the excitement in the city and the possibility of mutiny at any time, Shang Nan couldn't help but change his face, and immediately ordered the defenders on the city to point their bows and arrows at the city to prevent them from acting rashly.
Seeing that so many bows and arrows in the city were aimed at them, the faces of many people in the city changed, and the hustle and bustle seemed to be slowly quieting down.
But at this moment, someone shouted again: "Brothers, death at the hands of your own people is death, and death at the hands of the Jiaozhou army is also death. It is better to fight."
One sentence completely ignited the arrogance in the bones of Liangzhou soldiers, one, two, three... more and more soldiers under the city also raised their bows and arrows to aim at the defenders on the city.
It's just that both sides have maintained their final sanity, and no one dared to shoot the first arrow...
Shang Nan stared dumbfounded at all this, and he didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to the point where there were battles between the city and the city, he felt a little bit hard to get off.
At this time, his personal soldiers persuaded softly at the side: "General, let them enter the city, otherwise, if they really kill each other, it will not only increase casualties, but also dampen morale. Wouldn't it be a waste of money for the enemy."
Shang Nan's face was very ugly, but he nodded helplessly in the end, it was the only way to go now.
Afterwards, he ordered the defenders on the city to put away their bows and arrows, and with a creaking sound, the suspension bridge slowly fell...
The Liangzhou army below the city erupted into cheers, thankful that they had escaped, and no one noticed that a few people in the crowd inadvertently showed strange smiles on their faces...
A piercing alarm bell sounded immediately on the top of the city, and then dozens of torches were lit, illuminating the upper and lower parts of the city like daylight.
The soldiers on duty at night looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, staring at the city one by one, with nervousness and uneasiness in their eyes.
