Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 717
Outside Chang'an City, Wei Yan was in the army, stroking his beard with one hand, and reading Sun Tzu's Art of War with the other hand.

These days, Wei Yan was suffocated, and Chang'an City could not be defeated. In order to restrain Xia Houyuan's troops, he had to block outside Chang'an City.

But Wei Yan is not a vegetarian either. He first showed the enemy his weakness and hid all the soldiers and horses sent from Xiliang at the foot of the mountain. He only led [-] soldiers and horses to station thirty miles outside Chang'an City. Lure Xia Houyuan in the city to fight.

However, although Xia Houyuan has an army of [-], what Xia Houyuan wants to guard is not as simple as Chang'an. The entire Guanzhong is guarded by him. Even though Wei Yan only stationed [-] troops outside the city, Xia Houyuan dared not leave the city easily.No matter how Wei Yan insulted him outside the city, Xia Houyuan just turned a deaf ear and ignored Wei Yan at all.

Wei Yan read with relish, and broke into a soldier outside the tent to report: "General, the brothers near Chang'an have discovered that there have been changes in Chang'an City!"

"Oh?"

Wei Yan raised his head suddenly: "What kind of change? Could it be that Xia Houyuan wanted to come and rob the camp?"

"It doesn't seem to be! Cao Jun seems to have increased his troops, and the patrolling brothers said that Cao Jun seems to have switched defenses!"

"Fart! Where did they get the reinforcements from? Yesterday I received accurate news that the Lord has won a complete victory in the battle of Guandu. Now Cao Cao has been killed and retreated to Xuchang!"

While Wei Yan scolded the soldiers, he was also thinking about what tricks Xia Houyuan was playing.

"Go, go to Chang'an City and have a look!"

Wei Yan put on his armor, rode out of the camp with dozens of soldiers on horseback, and ran towards Chang'an.

Arriving at the foot of Chang'an City, Wei Yan looked from a distance, but did not find anything unusual about Cao Jun on the top of the city. The number of personnel was the same as before, but it gave people a strange feeling.

Wei Yan looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any doorway, nor did he see any movement at the west gate of Chang'an City, nor did the detectives at the south gate and north gate come to report the military situation.

"Grandma, what the hell is Xia Houyuan doing!"

Wei Yan cursed and ordered: "Be vigilant tonight to prevent Xia Houyuan from coming to rob the camp!"

"Here!"

The Xiliang troops brought by Wei Yan immediately sent additional troops to patrol the night, but the Guanzhong army did not come out to rob the camp overnight.

Wei Yan didn't sleep well all night, and was always on guard against Xia Houyuan's coming to rob the camp. Early the next morning, before dawn, Wei Yan got up, put on his armor, and went to the city of Chang'an alone.

After Wei Yan arrived at the city of Chang'an, the sun also rose. Wei Yan looked at it with the help of the weak sunlight, and almost lost the hat on his head with anger.

"Come on, come on!"

Wei Yan yelled at the top of his voice. Hearing Wei Yan's yell, more than a dozen detectives who were ambushing outside the city came to Wei Yan immediately.

"General, I...!"

"Snapped!"

The head inspector was about to speak when he was slapped by Wei Yan and turned around three times on the spot.

"Damn it, idiot!"

Wei Yan went up and gave the man a long kick, lifted him up from the ground, and shouted head to head: "Are you fucking blind, where are Xia Houyuan and his soldiers and horses? "

"Isn't it just in Chang'an City?"

Captain Tanmarsh replied weakly.

"Fart, open your dog eyes and see, is there a person standing on the city wall?"

Wei Yan pointed to the top of Chang'an City.

Chief Inspector Marsh rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, but he still didn't find anything wrong.He looked at Wei Yan again with a puzzled face.

Wei Yan was so angry that he wanted to wrench his head off, he must be fucking mentally handicapped.

"Look carefully, are there people on the top of the wall?"

It was only then that Chief Inspector Ma Shi realized that something was wrong, and since the sun had already risen, he also saw clearly that the "Cao Jun" on the top of the city was a scarecrow.

The man quickly knelt down and said, "General, I don't know what's going on! It's too dark at night, I can't see clearly!"

"I……!"

Wei Yan almost missed his breath and suffocated to death on the spot.

"You! You! You can do it!"

Wei Yan let go of Shichang's hand, and said, "Okay, you can't see it, you go back to the camp and stand there, and you!"

Wei Yan pointed to the fifteen scouts again, and then said, "Stand for me for a day, and anyone who dares to move will be a stick!"

Wei Yan's lungs are about to explode, are these spies fools?Anyone who can stand motionless all night is either not a human being or a dead person.

Just as Wei Yan finished teaching the scouts, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.

Wei Yan looked back, and it turned out that the deputy general rushed over with soldiers and horses.

It turned out that the lieutenant general did not find Wei Yan in the camp, so he asked the soldiers guarding the gate and found out that Wei Yan had left the camp. Fearing that something might happen to Wei Yan, he gathered his soldiers and horses to help Wei Yan.

"You came just in time, send a thousand knives and axes to the city to find out the truth!"

"Here!"

A thousand knife and axemen held their shields and slowly approached the west gate of Chang'an City.

But the sword and shield soldiers went all the way to the city gate, and there was no reaction from Chang'an City.

"General, could it be that Xia Houyuan abandoned the city and escaped?"

Wei Yan's lieutenant general spoke up.

"Probably not. Xia Houyuan sticks to Chang'an. Even if we have 10 people, we will suffer heavy losses if we storm Chang'an. We are all cavalry, so we are not good at siege, and our entire army may even be wiped out!"

Just as Wei Yan was about to signal the sword and shield soldiers to retreat, the west gate of Chang'an City creaked open.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

The gate of Chang'an City opened suddenly, which startled Wei Yan.

But when the gate of Chang'an City was fully opened, Wei Yan was dumbfounded.

There are only more than 30 people in the city gate, and there are more than 30 people and more than ten people are dressed as civil servants.

"what's going on?"

Wei Yan and the lieutenant looked at each other, puzzled.

But the city gate opened, and the thousand sword and shield soldiers under the city gate immediately rushed into the city gate and surrounded the thirty people.

Wei Yan saw his soldiers and horses controlling the city gate in the distance, and brought the soldiers and horses behind him to the city gate.

After seeing Wei Yan, the chief civil servant among the more than 30 people just knelt down and said, "Zhong Yao has seen General Wei!"

"Meet General Wei!"

All the civil servants and generals behind Zhong Yao also knelt down.

Wei Yan got off his horse and walked in front of Zhong Yao. After helping Zhong Yao up, he asked, "Zhong Yao, what's going on? Where's Xia Houyuan?"

"Xia Houyuan already left last night!"

Zhong Yao replied.

"Then why don't you leave with them?"

Zhong Yao explained: "Xia Houyuan left in a hurry. We are either old enough to march fast, or we are not directly related to Cao Cao, so we stayed in Chang'an!"
