Before taking action, Chen Gong once again confirmed the prisoners' intentions and warned them not to reveal their secrets.
After fighting with Dong Zhuo's army for many days, they captured a lot of flags and documents. The flag was ready-made, but the documents had to be forged.
Fortunately, in terms of technology, Yangzhou is leading the country.
For this operation, Chen Gong put a lot of thought into it.
At night, a group of them disguised themselves and came to Xiwu City.
The defender was Dong Zhuo's general Dong Ai, who shouted: "Who is under the city? They are sneaky!"
Chen Gong looked like a civil servant and said: "We are under the command of the Grand Master, and we have come to pick up some treasures in the name of the Grand Master."
"What treasure?" Dong Ai asked vigilantly, and when he saw the Dong Zhuo army flag under the city, he relaxed his vigilance.
Chen Gong knew that he would not be able to convince people with just his words, so he asked the defenders to put down the hanging basket and put the documents up.
Dong Ai took a look and saw that it was indeed the seal of the Grand Master, or that it was written by Li Ru, a confidant of the Grand Master.
He asked a few more questions, such as why he came so late at night. Chen Gong replied: "The situation is urgent and it is related to the agreement between the lord and the Marquis of Dongyang."
Now Dong Ai finally understood that the prodigal lord must have lost to Dongyang Hou again.
Chen Gong¡¯s answer was watertight. Dong Ai opened the city gate without any doubts.
After entering the city, Chen Gong and his party suddenly launched an attack, subdued the city gate defenders, and sent a signal to Zhao Yun.
The Yangzhou army easily controlled the city gate and launched a massive attack.
Dong Ai complained endlessly that there were actually thieves sneaking into the Chang'an area, and the number was tens of thousands.
"Who are you? The Grand Master will not let you go!"
Zhao Yun did not answer, so he captured him three times, five times and two times, and handed him over to Chen Gong.
The shouts of killing at the city gate alerted the defenders, but very few came to help.
Zhao Yun defeated them easily and was just wondering.
"I'm afraid the enemy has been at ease for too long. We didn't expect that we would suddenly attack." Chen Gong said.
"This is also true. Dong Zhuo has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Chang'an. Who dares to come out to cause trouble?
Zhao Yun was no longer vague and headed towards Dong Zhuo's mansion.
Xiwu is not a big city, but more like a fortress-style mansion. It is filled with Dong Zhuo's family members and tens of thousands of his servants, with a population of only tens of thousands.
The number of defenders is about 10,000, which is just a piece of cake for the Yangzhou Army. But it still takes a lot of effort to identify those who resist and those who surrender.
Zhao Yun broke down the door all the way to Dong Zhuo's family, where women's screams kept coming.
"Control them all and don't cause trouble for us." Zhao Yundao said.
There were many loyal servants of Dong Zhuo, who fought to the death with the Yangzhou army, but they were only dedicated but did not have enough fighting power.
The killings were still going on. Zhao Yun was not familiar with the terrain, so he could only lead his army everywhere. Wherever there was fighting, he went wherever there was fighting, until the shouts of killing gradually subsided in the whole Xiwu.
Chen Gong imprisoned all the prisoners together and paid special attention to the young men.
After daybreak, they took control of the entire Xiwu.
"This is too simple." Many sergeants began to talk about it.
Zhao Yun also agreed with them, but the real battle lies in holding on for a month, so he couldn't help but remind:
"Don't take it lightly. Wait until Dong Zhuo's army returns to support, and you will have something to play with."
Everyone then became silent.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was still very brutal.
At this time, Chen Gong was sealing the treasury. In order to appease people's hearts, he did not open each of the treasury and directly put a seal on it.
The Yangzhou Army is all good, but who can guarantee that they can maintain their true intentions under the endless temptation of money.
So Chen Gong just kept doing nothing and did not open any treasury, because there would be a bloody battle next.
"Gongda, are there any hidden dangers in doing this?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask.
¡° Direct sealing can indeed eliminate people¡¯s greed, but they don¡¯t know what¡¯s inside.
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it later when the lord comes.¡± Chen Gong said stubbornly.
In this regard, Zhao Yun had no choice but to concentrate on consolidating the city defense. The two of them have a clear division of labor, and he can't force it.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of Chang'an's garrison was Zhang Ji. When he received news that a large number of troops had landed on the waterway, he strengthened Chang'an's defense.
After waiting for three days, no one came.
Zhang Ji was about to scold his mother and reprimanded the scout severely. However, the scout died to prove it, and Zhang Ji was shocked and doubtful for a moment.
So, a large number of scouts were sent out, but no wool was found.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was another place that had not been notified, and that was Xiwu.
It¡¯s not too late to make amends.
Zhang Ji sent an envoy to Xiwu and returned within a day, claiming that everything was normal.
But Zhang Ji became suspicious. Under his questioning, the envoy finally recalled that the person guarding the city was an unfamiliar face.
"Damn it, thieves must have captured Xiwu!" Zhang Ji said in pain.
Where is Xiwu? The treasure trove that Dong Zhuo painstakingly managed!
???????? If such an important place is lost, how can I report it to the master?
Zhang Ji was determined and led 20,000 troops to Xiwu and ordered the defenders to open the city gate.
"What does General Zhang mean?" Yangzhou pretended to be a defender.
No, it¡¯s not a Xiliang accent!
Zhang Ji immediately knew that his guess was true, and immediately sent a meteor horse to inform Dong Zhuo that he was setting up camp outside the city.
At this moment, he can only hope that Dong Zhuo will come back soon. Now Chang'an only has 10,000 defenders, which is extremely empty.
Zhao Yun was quite speechless when he saw the Chang'an troops refusing to leave. He finally blocked the news and delayed it for several days before he was discovered.
Although the city wall of Xiwu is not as good as Hangu Pass and Hulao Pass, it is worse than big cities like Luoyang and Chang'an, so there is no problem in holding on.
However, Zhao Yun was a bold and careful general. He attacked Zhang Ji's camp that night, defeated 20,000 enemies and killed 3,000.
Zhang Ji was so frightened that he withdrew to Chang'an. He couldn't help but sigh, are these people crazy?
It would be better if you don¡¯t attack the city, but they still dare to come out?
However, after this battle, Zhang Ji obtained an important piece of information. There is only one person in the world who can possess such an elite force, and that is Dongyang Hou.
They are also good at raiding.
The tentacles of Marquis Dongyang actually reached Chang'an?
I can only say that he is worthy of being the Marquis of Dongyang!
After Dong Zhuo received the letter, he couldn't believe it, and then he became furious and said: "What rubbish is this!"
Even if Chang'an is lost, he can accept it, but what the hell is Xiwu missing?
It¡¯s all Dong Zhuo¡¯s hard work for more than ten years!
We raided Luoyang and then raided Chang'an. All the hard work we had accumulated was lost at the drop of a hat!
Dong Zhuo thought of Ma Teng. Besides him, who else had the ability to attack Chang'an?
"Ma Teng, you and I are at odds with each other!"
Li Ru took the letter from Dong Zhuo, read it carefully for a while, and shook his head frequently.
"I'm afraid, this is Dongyang Hou's handiwork."
Contacting the death of the soldiers at the river bank checkpoint, Li Ru immediately came up with the answer. He had been pursuing the wrong direction all along.
He is focused on Hulao Pass downstream.
"Liu Dingfang, just wait for me!" Dong Zhuo immediately changed his tune and roared. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
