Chapter 281 Han Zhan Enters Chang'an
The soldiers and horses of Jizhou surrounded the capital from north, east and south. Li Jue and Guo Si's soldiers had become grasshoppers in autumn and could not be long before they jumped. When they thought of this, Han Zhan was so excited that he could not have insomnia. But soon the facts proved that insomnia was not necessarily a bad thing, it was better than being woken up in a deep sleep.
Just as Han Zhan tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't sleep, he suddenly heard Chen Dao shouting in a low voice outside the tent: "Lord, lord!"
Hearing Chen Dao's shout, Han Zhan suddenly sat up from the bed, looked outside and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Report to the lord!" Chen Dao was full of confidence when he heard Han Zhan's voice, not as if he was waking up from his sleep, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu has sent someone to deliver a letter from the capital!"
Xu Shu sent someone to deliver a letter from the capital?! After hearing the news, Han Zhan immediately turned over and got out of the bed. He didn't even have time to put on his boots. He walked barefoot to the door of the tent, lifted up the curtain and looked at Chen Dao outside and asked, "Where is the person?"
"If you go back to the lord, they will wait outside the big tent of the matter."
"Shuzhi, bring him here!" Because he was eager to know the situation in the capital, Han Zhan did not notice that Chen Dao was talking about "them" rather than "he", so he ordered Chen Dao: "I want to know the situation in the capital."
"Master!" Chen Dao stood there without moving, with a embarrassed expression on his face. He murmured: "Master, in addition to Mr. Xu's messenger, there is also a military general from the city. If they are called here, I am worried that it will be detrimental to the safety of the lord."
Han Zhan was very surprised to learn that there was a military general in the city who accompanied Xu Shu's messenger to the camp. After hesitating for a long time, he ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, let the messenger and the general wait outside the tent. After this marquis changed his clothes, he went to the tent and called Mr. Guo, General Dian and others together."
After a stick of incense, Han Zhan appeared in the big tent. At this moment, Guo Jia, Dian Wei and others had already sat on both sides of the civil and military rows. Han Zhan nodded to Chen Dao, who was standing beside him, indicating that the messenger could enter.
Chen Dao, who understood the truth, quickly walked out of the big tent. He didn't have much effort, so he took the two of them from outside the tent and reported to Han Zhan: "Report to the lord, you have brought him here~!"
Han Zhan glanced at the two people brought in by Chen Dao, and then asked, "Who is the messenger sent by Mr. Xu?"
"See lord!" As soon as Han Zhan finished speaking, the man in black on his left knelt down on one knee and said, "The villain is the messenger sent by Mr. Xu." After that, he took out a letter from his arms and held it in both hands and handed it to Chen Dao standing next to him.
Chen Dao placed the letter on the table in front of Han Zhan, and then stepped aside. Han Zhan glanced at the letter on the table, but did not pick it up, but looked at another general dressed in a cavalry captain and asked, "I wonder what this brother should call him?"
Hearing Han Zhan’s question, the man dressed as a cavalryman quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, bowed to Han Zhan with his fists, and replied: “Wang Chang of Xiliang, I have seen Marquis Ting!”
Wang Chang?! After Han Zhan repeated the name in his heart, he felt that he had never heard of it before, so he turned his gaze to Guo Jia, who was begging for help, hoping to get the answer he wanted from him. Unexpectedly, after Guo Jia looked at him, he shook his head gently, indicating that he had never heard of this name.
Seeing that he could not get the information he wanted from Guo Jia, Han Zhan could only look at Wang Chang and asked: "Calendar, I have never heard of your name before. I wonder who you are?"
If someone else asked this, Wang Chang might have been angry. But the person who asked at this moment was Han Zhan, and he could only answer respectfully: "If you go back to Tinghou, the youngest person is the cavalry commander under the command of the Grand Marshal Li Jue, and he is an unknown person. It is understandable that the Marquis of Tinghou does not know."
Seeing that Wang Chang was so respectful, Han Zhan nodded to him, and did not let him get up, but opened the letter written by Xu Shu. After he quickly browsed the above content, he knew that Wang Chang, who was kneeling in front of him, was currently controlling the Ximen in Chang'an. If he could conquer him, the Jizhou army would be able to enter Chang'an from the Ximen without bloodshed.
From Xu Shu's letter, Han Zhan knew that this person had great value, so he quickly stood up, walked around the table and came to Wang Chang, leaned over to help him up, and smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Wang Qi Duwei, I am negligent. Come on, show the seat of Wang Qi Duwei!"
Guo Jia, Dian Wei and others sat on both sides. Seeing Han Zhan being so polite to a small cavalry captain, he showed a surprised expression on his face. Han Zhan saw everyone's reactions. He smiled slightly, and then asked Wang Chang who had already sat down: "Prince Wang Qi, you can send his subordinates as soon as possible. Why do you need to take a risk to run?"
When Wang Chang heard Han Zhan’s question, he immediately replied respectfully: “When he returned to the Marquis of Ting, after he left the inn where Mr. Xu lived, he thought about it over and over again, and felt that it would be more sincere to come to see Marquis of Ting in person, so he took the risk of coming here with the messenger.”
Guo Jia heard from the conversation between Han Zhan and Wang Chang that he wanted to seize Chang'an City, this person was a crucial role. He quickly flattered the other party and then found out the truth and truth of the city from him. He learned from Wang Chang that Li Jue and Guo Si's troops were originally stationed outside Chang'an City. The troops stationed in the city were the original imperial army, but the generals were replaced by Li Jue and Guo Si's subordinates.
When Han Zhan heard that there were 40,000 to 50,000 troops controlled by Li Jue in the city, he broke out in cold sweat. Although he had 70,000 or 80,000 troops under his command, if he wanted to capture this city, his troops would definitely be completely lost. But if Wang Chang was willing to open the west gate and let his army enter the city, then he could greatly reduce the casualties of the Jizhou army.
Thinking of this, he asked Wang Chang politely: "I wonder if the captain Wang Qi has any plans?"
Wang Chang stood up and replied, "When the Marquis of Ting, Li Jue was the old master of Wang, but good birds chose trees to live there. With the words of Ting Hou, Wang was willing to open the west gate and welcome the soldiers and horses of Jizhou into the city."
"It's so good, so good!" Han Zhan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Wang Chang's statement again and was willing to open the city gate to welcome the soldiers of Jizhou into the city. He stepped forward and grabbed Wang Chang's arm and said, "If this marquis enters Chang'an City and destroys Li Jue, Guo Si will definitely request the emperor to be appointed as a marquis to the general."
If someone else said this, Wang Chang would definitely be disdainful. But the person who said this was Han Zhan. Not only is the current emperor in his hands, but the civil and military officials in the court also tended to him. Once he had mastered Chang'an, it would be just a matter of one sentence to increase his rank and even grant him a title.
Wang Chang hurriedly knelt down in front of Han Zhan and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to work hard for Tinghou and devote my whole life to you until you die."
When Han Zhan heard Wang Chang say that he would devote his entire work to his death, he was stunned and thought to himself that this was not what Zhuge Liang said in "The Memorial to the Emperor", why did you say it so many years in advance? But he didn't have time to think about these questions, so he quickly possessed Wang Chang and smiled and said, "General Wang, if our army can successfully obtain Chang'an City, your righteous deeds today will be recorded in history and will be praised by later generations."
After Wang Chang finished speaking, he carefully reminded him: "Marquis Ting, the little one is just a small cavalry captain, and he cannot be called a general. The little one dare not hope to be recorded in history. He just hopes that after being buried in the future, he will be content with not leaving a credible for his descendants."
The soldiers and horses of Jizhou surrounded the capital from north, east and south. Li Jue and Guo Si's soldiers had become grasshoppers in autumn and could not be long before they jumped. When they thought of this, Han Zhan was so excited that he could not have insomnia.
