Chapter 214 Han Sui Persuades to Surrender (Addition 12 for Feng Yu Wu Fei)

Chang'an has been operated by Zhong Yao for many years. Although it can't be called an iron wall, the layered barriers are still quite perfect.

After Guan Ping entered the city, the whole army strictly controlled military discipline, and fought for the support of the people under the banner of Guan Zhong's children fighting against the Hu people.

Many people in Chang'an took a fluke mentality, thinking that Ma Chao and Han Sui hadn't plundered for a long time before, and had given a lot of relief to the people of Sanfu, so they probably wouldn't condone their plundering this time.

But the newly recruited soldiers from Lantian shattered their illusions. They told the Chang'an people that the Guanzhong coalition rebellion was just to get rich, and they didn't care about the people under their rule.

If Chang'an falls and Cao Jun wins, they will definitely plunder when they retreat. If Cao Jun loses, they will recruit more Hu people to join the battle in order to expand the results of the battle, and they must continue to plunder the surrounding people.

Never let this happen again!

Under the slogan of defending their homeland, the people who had been lucky before began to join the team of building the city, digging the moat, and making weapons and deer villages. For a while, the city was full of heat.

And Guan Ping obviously didn't have the idea of ​​staying in Chang'an and waiting for others to beat him up.

He gathered the newly joined Lantian soldiers and Chang'an soldiers into a militia, and asked them to be responsible for investigation, delivery of news, preparation for the treatment of the wounded, and simple corvee service.

Those who joined the army from Shangyong were mixed with Guan Ping's original veterans and assumed the responsibility of defending the city.

The main force that followed Guan Ping from Jingzhou was the core of the battle, and worked together with Xiahouba's Cao army. In this battle, they not only had to defend, but also used Chang'an as the core to continuously attack outwards, trying to drive the enemy out of Chang'an.

This idea is currently smooth and feasible. The only question is how long Chang'an can persist in the situation of lack of food.

If the food storage can only last for a month, then everything is basically free. Even if Cao Cao drives Wushuang, he will not fly from Xudu to Chang'an so quickly.

and so……

"If you dare to lie to me, don't say much, I'll wring your neck off with my own hands." Shen Dan said with a smile, "Anyway, I don't have any grudges with Ma Chao and the others, at worst, I just go to them. I can be a cavalier with my body size. , you may not be sure."

Chen Qun chuckled, twirling his long beard and smiling, "Don't worry, Han Sui has made it clear that he doesn't want to attack Chang'an by force, so if we persist, our chance will come.

When the time comes, you will naturally know what I, Chen, do. "

After persisting for a few days, Han Sui's siege of Chang'an was significantly tighter. His general Yan Xing came to Chang'an in person. He looked at the city that was run like an iron barrel with a trace of respect in his eyes.

Surrounded by an army of [-] in Guanzhong, Chang'an is not much different from other cities. To occupy this place requires extraordinary courage and even more superhuman courage.

I don't know if the negotiation will go well.

After announcing his name, Yan Xing entered Chang'an smoothly. Under the escort of a group of eager soldiers, he easily met Yunshan, the legendary rising star of Cao Jun.

Guan Ping looked at Yan Xing curiously, and learned from Chen Qun that Yan Xing had always been devoted to the court, and even took the initiative to send all his family members here. If it wasn't for Han Sui's coercion, he really didn't want to turn against the court.Such a person is very valuable to win over. Naturally, his face was quite warm, and he held his hand tightly and said calmly:

"I have long heard the name of General Yan's loyalty, and seeing him today, I am overjoyed.

I know that this rebellion was not the general's intention. In the future, if I defeat all the thieves, I will try my best to keep the general safe! "

Yan Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Guan Ping with a wry smile:

"General Yun also knows that I'm here today to persuade General to leave quickly.

The ten armies in Guanzhong are concurrent, and even if there are tens of thousands of generals, it will be difficult to succeed in defending Chang'an.

It's better to give up Chang'an first, I guarantee that the soldiers under my command will not chase and kill, and after protecting the general and exiting Guanzhong, I will come to plead guilty to the general. "

Chen Qun was very active today, he said with a smile:

"The general and Dudu Han are both good people. Why did they rebel and let me leave Guanzhong? Isn't that ridiculous?"

There was a gloomy look on Yan Xing's face, and he said in embarrassment:

"My family's governor did not conspire against him, but... it was for the sake of the people in Guanzhong, so he had to lead the army to revolt. Please also report to Prime Minister Cao."

"Oh, where did you say that?"

Even though he didn't believe Yan Xing's reasons, but God knows how much Cao Cao has done in all kinds of weirdness for so many years, Yan Xing didn't blush at all, and talked freely:
"We've heard for a long time that the prime minister frequently enlists the wives and daughters of the dead, and that this method is often practiced in Hedong, and the people feel uneasy.

This time the prime minister's army was stationed in Guanzhong, there were many rumors that the prime minister wanted to do this, and Guan Zhongjian didn't want to be humiliated, so he led the crowd to revolt under the dispatch of Han Dudu.

If the prime minister can be kind enough to get rid of this law and order Han Dudu to guard the Guanzhong, just like Zhong Sili before, we were originally the prime minister's pioneers, to bring down Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, and keep the people safe. "

What the hell?
Guan Ping didn't realize what Yan Xing was talking about for a while, so Kuai Yue hurriedly told Guan Ping about Cao Cao's powerful widow policy in a low voice.

In fact, in order to increase the population, successive dynasties had policies to encourage widows to remarry, or to punish widows who did not remarry.

However, lovers of magic reformed legalists felt that this method was too slow, and decided to intervene, so they adopted a policy of forcibly recruiting widows—collecting all widows and then distributing them equally.

In theory, this policy is only slightly outrageous, but no matter what the policy is, it is afraid that the lower levels will increase the weight.

Our county confiscated one hundred widows, why only fifty in your county?Is it really not, or is there no execution?Or simply not giving face to the superior?

When the prefect saw that other counties performed too well, he gave more weight to the county magistrates below. The county magistrates naturally had to complete the tasks with quality and quantity, and held the servants accountable if they failed to complete the tasks.

In the beginning, it was simply abduction of widows, and then it became more and more serious, and began to directly recruit new wives.

Oh, and as for someone's comments?Then just let the person who raised the opinion become a widow, what a big deal.

As for the servants below, they also found a lot of opportunities to make a fortune during the execution process. If your family pays, your wife can keep it.

If you don't pay, yo fellow, you still have a daughter...

"Hey, Prime Minister Cao's intentions are good, and these things are caused by bad guys from below, which is why they turned into what they are now.

In fact, the prime minister is also diligent and caring for the people, and he is helpless when he is always deceived. "Chen Qun's painting style carried a strong yin and yang strangeness, which made Yan Xing grinned uncontrollably.

He smiled wryly:

"That's it. Please report the matter to the prime minister after the general returns. As long as the prime minister agrees, the governor will definitely obey the prime minister's words."

Of course Guan Ping didn't think that Han Sui was so worried about the country and the people. This fierce man who was forced to be a thief at first, and then gradually became the boss of a group of thieves, was full of ghostly schemes.

He deliberately put Cao Cao on fire. If Cao Cao disagreed, it proved that Cao Cao was not deceived before, but deliberately pretended not to know. The people in Guanzhong were excited, and they must firmly support Han Sui.

Cao Cao, who has to share the great credit of the mu tax law with a county magistrate, is definitely unwilling to bear such a fault.

But if he agreed, it would not be handing over Guanzhong and the entire Yongliang Western Region to Han Sui.

Although Han Sui is far inferior to Sun Liu, if he gains power, he will definitely continue to encroach on and suppress Cao Cao, and it would be a ghost if Cao Cao agreed to him.

This can't advance or retreat, but I really saw Han Sui's methods.

Yan Xing originally thought that Guan Ping would be extremely embarrassing, and even turned against him in a rage, but he didn't expect Guan Ping to pat himself on the shoulder readily.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"The general is willing to leave Chang'an? I will definitely send the general away to ensure the general's safety."

"Hehe, the Prime Minister's laws are strict, we will give up the city at will, if the Prime Minister refuses, we will be severely punished.

How about this, I will send someone to ask the prime minister for instructions, and tell the prime minister the general's kindness by the way.

If the prime minister orders us to withdraw our troops, we will retreat immediately and will never linger in Chang'an.

If the prime minister refuses, of course we must stick to the end and not embarrass the prime minister. "

"This..." Yan Xing didn't expect Guan Ping to use the strategy of delaying the attack.

In these turbulent years, it was basically unrealistic to travel from Chang'an to Xu within ten days and half a month, and we had to ensure that there would be no problems on the way back and forth.

"I really don't want to fight with the general, so I ask the general to make it happen." Yan Xing sighed, "Even if the general retreats to Lantian and Wuguan first, I can still explain to the governor.

If the general continues to stay in Chang'an and the governor seizes all the places in Guanzhong, he will definitely lead his people to kill him.

The governor has an army of [-], even if Chang'an is strong, how long can your army's food and grass last?General please think twice! "

Yan Xing's words were sincere, and Guan Ping saw his tricks.

"Okay, I'll give Dudu a face. It's just that Dudu Han is a noble character, and he is dedicated to the Han Dynasty. Others may not be with Dudu.

How about this, please write a letter from the governor to ensure that we are safe, and then let Ma Mengqi and several other generals come to the city to ensure the safety of us and the people in the city.

As long as several generals are willing to guarantee our army, we are willing to withdraw from Chang'an, how about it? "

Yan Xing gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, and could only sigh:

"Okay, that's it.

I hurried out of the city and asked General Ma Mengqi to come to Chang'an for a talk.I'm also hungry and don't want to fight with the general, so I ask the general to help me. "

Yan Xing came in a hurry and was about to leave, but Chen Qun grabbed his long sleeves and said with a smile:
"I've come here, and I'm not in a hurry for today.

It's better to stay in the city for a night, and I'll have a drink, which can be regarded as... doing the landlord's favor! "

Yan Xing frowned, thinking to himself that Chen Qun is a celebrity in the world, and he has always been arrogant, so how could he have such a good attitude towards him for no reason.

But he didn't want to take Chen Qun's face off, so he could only nod helplessly and said:
"Okay, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful.

However, Erlang, my subordinate, is also quite tired, so I asked Chen Gong to invite them into the city together. "

Chen Qun said kindly:

"It's natural. When friends come from afar, even though it's far away... no, it's a joy."

Shen Dan frowned and asked in a low voice: "Should I shift the responsibility to him and then rob..."

Chen Qun smiled bitterly and said:
"I said no, Master Wang can do such a thing?"
