Chapter 539
"Very good!"
In Chang'an, Cao Cao stood up excitedly after hearing the news.
"The old fox Han Sui was finally lured out of the city."
"He is scared."
"The entire Western Region has changed, making the old fox afraid of being surrounded."
"Slowly grind him to death."
Cao Cao came to the map and clicked on a place under the gaze of Lu Bu and others.
"It is Longxi."
"Fight a decisive battle with Han Sui here."
"Whether Xiliang can be fully included in Tanghai depends on this battle!"
Cao Cao arranged things in Chang'an.
The soldiers of Tanghai tightly controlled the key points in the city.
He personally led the troops out.
Lu Bu accompanied him.
In addition, he sent a message to Wuwei to let Ma Chao send troops from the northwest.
Two-sided attack.
Everything was in intensive preparation.
Cao Cao led the Chang'an army forward, and every place he went was welcomed by the local people.
The red flag of Tanghai has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every citizen in Xiliang.
The land they were allocated made the people praise them endlessly.
They were loyal to Tanghai.
Many people also brought the few grains from their homes to reward the army.
But they were rejected by Cao Cao one by one.
Tanghai's soldiers did not take half a grain of food from the people.
Tanghai's soldiers are the people's soldiers!
Fight for the people and fight for the better life of their families!
The slogan was shouted by the Chang'an army under the leadership of Cao Cao.
The loud voice resounded through the wilderness.
Let the people from all over the country who passed by once again deeply feel the goodness of Tanghai.
When have they seen such an army?
The Xiliang army in the past was considered good if they did not plunder the people.
The army in front of them had such military discipline, which deeply moved the people of Xiliang.
The name of the people's soldiers has also become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Tang Hai's reputation among the people of Xiliang has risen to an unprecedented height.
Higher than the gods!
Gods are just people's hopes, and they can't make a wish come true.
But Tang Hai is different.
He really takes you to live a good life.
Give you food and land.
This is much better than gods!
Cao Cao led his troops to march quickly and reached the designated location in the shortest time.
Ma Chao also led his team to move south quickly.
Both armies entered the designated location according to the pre-war plan, detailed maps and local guides.
The war was about to start.
...
Han Sui led the eight generals of Xiliang and the Jincheng army to plunder two small cities along the way.
There were indeed gold, silver and jewelry stored in them.
But they didn't expect it.
Not everyone in the 50,000-strong army got a share.
Only some people got some, and the number was not large.
It was completely different from what he expected.
But this also made him more certain that Dong Zhuo must have hidden more treasures in a city that they didn't know about.
But what made him depressed was that he wanted to capture a live person for interrogation, but he never got it.
The two small towns along the way seemed like dead cities, without any people stationed there.
The gold, silver and jewelry were all found by the soldiers of Jincheng in the houses in the city.
Hidden deep enough.
After going south, Han Sui focused his attention on Longxi.
It was rumored that there were many convoys heading in all directions there.
He was keen and felt that there must be a transit point there.
Dong Zhuo first transported the treasures of Chang'an City to a larger city.
Then they were dispersed and transported to secret places for storage.
Even if a small city was occupied by someone, there were still a lot of stocks in secret places elsewhere.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
This is what the clan is best at.
It seems that Dong Zhuo has learned a lot of experience in Luoyang.
Han Sui no longer hesitated and led his army to Longxi at a rapid speed.
What he didn't know was that the news of the march had already been spread by the people of Xiliang along the way at a faster speed.
...
Longxi City.
It has a high status in Xiliang.
Han Sui sent out elite cavalry to investigate during the march.
As expected, they found that the convoy coming from Chang'an drove into Longxi in a mighty manner.
The soldiers of Jincheng who heard the news were so excited that they couldn't extricate themselves.
They knew very well what kind of life would be waiting for them after doing this.
Han Sui made it clear before leaving Jincheng.
After grabbing the treasure, he immediately fled to the Western Regions.
Find a place to establish a country and become an emperor!
They will all be founding heroes in the future.
Under the temptation of gold, silver, jewelry and status, the soldiers of Jincheng were red-eyed.
They wanted to capture Longxi City immediately.
Besiege the city.
With Han Sui's order.
The 50,000-strong army surrounded the four gates of Longxi City.
After a short rest,Started to build siege ladders.
Although Longxi is a big city in Xiliang, the height of the city wall cannot be compared with that of the Central Plains.
It is relatively not too difficult to attack the city.
The morale of the Jincheng army was high. After Han Sui's two full meals, their physical strength was restored and their morale soared.
...
"It's finally our turn."
Cao Cao, who was hiding in a secret valley nearby, heard the news and walked out of the tent wearing armor.
Although he was not tall, he was full of momentum.
"The battle of Xiliang is our credit!"
Cao Cao shouted to the assembled soldiers.
"This battle was fought without the excellent logistical support of Tanghai."
"As long as we win, it will be recorded in Tanghai's history!"
"Are you willing to follow me to kill the enemy?!"
The loud voice echoed in the valley, and the soldiers shouted to express their fighting spirit.
Although most of the soldiers in the army were recruited near Chang'an and the people of Xiliang who were absorbed along the way.
However, the people who were influenced by Tanghai's literacy campaign and other actions were no longer the same as before.
Everyone was in high spirits, as if they were elite soldiers who had been trained for a long time.
With a clang, Cao Cao drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it high to the sky.
"Fight!"
"Fight!!!"
The soldiers roared loudly, shaking the earth.
Cao Cao mounted his horse, and Lu Bu reorganized the army.
The two led the team out of the valley and headed towards Longxi.
At the same time, Ma Chao, who received the news, led Ma Dai Pangde, Ma Teng and the generals of the Ma family, and led his troops to Longxi from another direction.
The pincer attack was immediately formed.
...
In Longxi, Han Sui, who had built the siege ladder, was full of pride.
He ordered his soldiers to shout words of persuasion for a long time, but was cursed back by the people in the city, which made him furious.
"Attack the city!"
"There is food in the city!"
"There is gold in the city!"
"There are women in the city!"
"Conquer Longxi, countless wealth is waiting for us!"
Han Sui's extremely persuasive shouting spread, and the soldiers of Jincheng were immediately infected.
Each raised his weapon and shouted.
Under the leadership of eight generals, they carried the siege ladders and rushed towards Longxi City like a colony of ants.
On the city wall, Tanghai soldiers led the local militia to wait in full battle array.
Tanghai soldiers, who had already controlled the entire city, did not change their faces when facing the attack of the army.
Such a stable mood affected the Longxi militia around.
The original tension gradually dissipated, replaced by the determination to protect the whole family and the newly acquired land.
