Chapter 208: Battle of Guanzhong under the city of Chang'an!
Tongguan,

Xiliang Camp.

In the central army tent, the generals started to clamor and the noise was everywhere:
"Liu Wu will lead the Wu-Chu coalition army this time, and it will be very powerful. I'm afraid that Ma Mengqi will not be able to rescue Chang'an!"

"Chang'an has been occupied by Liu Wu. We will inevitably be attacked from two sides. In this case, it is better to withdraw our troops from Chang'an first and help Ma Mengqi defeat Liu Wu..."

"Ridiculous! Cao Mengde is so cunning. When he sees us retreating, he will definitely chase us. I'm afraid we will be defeated before we even get back to Chang'an. If we are attacked by Cao and Liu at that time, how can we survive?"

"No matter what, Tongguan cannot be abandoned!"

"No wonder Cao Mengde suddenly attacked Tongguan these days. This is clearly to cover up for Liu Wu and tie up our energy!"

"That's right! It must be that Liu Wu and Cao Cao are in collusion and plotting against Guanzhong!"

Inside the big tent, an atmosphere of worry spread.

All the Xiliang generals were extremely anxious. The sudden fall of Chang'an caught everyone off guard.

The original plan of the Xiliang Army was to defend Tongguan first and wear Cao Mengde down, but they never expected that Liu Wu would suddenly sneak into Hanzhong and even steal Chang'an? !
If Ma Chao fails to capture Chang'an quickly this time, it will be their Xiliang Army that will be unable to continue.

At present, the morale of the commanders of various Liangzhou troops has been shaken. If the situation spreads to the entire army, there will be no need to defend Tongguan.

"Generals..." Han Sui began. He had to calm the troops first. "My nephew Meng Qi has always been brave and invincible. This time he will lead 30,000 cavalry to help us. He will surely defeat the Wu-Chu coalition and recapture Chang'an."

"As for the rumor that Cao Mengde and Liu Wu joined forces, it's ridiculous! Not to mention that the two of them had a grudge against each other, if Cao and Liu really joined forces, why did Liu Wu wait until today to come to Guanzhong?"

"There must be something behind this!"

"I guess Cao Mengde still doesn't know about Liu Wu's entry into the pass..."

"General Han!" The captain who was inspecting the camp that day came into the tent with a Cao soldier. "Cao Mengde sent someone to see you, General."

Cao Cao sent someone to see him?

Han Sui was stunned, and the other Xiliang generals were also stunned.

"I greet General Han." Before Han Sui could speak, the soldier stepped forward to greet him: "My Prime Minister said that when General Han came to Luoyang to meet General He Jin, the Prime Minister and the General hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation."

"Now on the battlefield, I have met an old friend. The Prime Minister is overwhelmed with emotion. I have written a letter of greetings and asked me to pass it to the general."

The Cao army soldiers took out the brocade bag and presented it with both hands.

Since Cao Cao led his troops to Tongguan, the two armies have fought no less than a dozen battles. He didn't say hello in the morning or in the evening, but wrote a letter to say hello at this time?
Han Sui was stunned, and his personal guard took the brocade bag and handed it to him.

Han Sui opened the brocade bag, took out the silk letter and read it, but he was stunned after just one glance.

"General Han?"

"Mr. Wen Yue, what is written in this letter?"

Seeing Han Sui looking at the letter with a strange expression, everyone couldn't help but ask him.

Some of the more impatient generals could not help but stand up and go to Han Sui to take a look. When they saw it, they were also stunned.

As far as the eye can see,
It was a good letter, but it was scribbled all over and it was impossible to tell what Cao Cao said.

Han Sui held the silk letter in his hand, bewildered: "What on earth is this Cao Aman doing?"

……

Chang'an City, a few miles away.

A huge army was rushing towards Chang'an City.

The flags gathered and fluttered, and the soldiers were densely packed with people, like mountains and seas.

Clusters of spears and swords, shining coldly and filled with murderous aura, rose and fell endlessly as the army advanced.

The huge black shield, like layers of iron walls, kept advancing.

A huge "Chu" royal flag was placed in the center of the army, leading the soldiers to slowly move forward.

This was the first time that the Han army had reached the outskirts of Chang'an since Dong Zhuo abducted the Han emperor and moved west.

Under the banner,

It was densely packed with white feathers and white furs, a piece of snow-white, very eye-catching. Chen Dao led the white-ear soldiers to protect Liu Wu tightly.

Da da da! ~
Liu Wu rode on his horse, and the huge city in front of him was reflected in his sight. Chang'an,

This city, which represented endless glory during the Qin and Han Dynasties and represented the heyday of the Han Dynasty in countless poems in later generations, was now right before his eyes.

Restore the Han Dynasty and return the old capital!
For Liu Wu, this sentence is no longer empty talk.

As soon as Liu Wu entered Chang'an, he would completely expel the Western Liang army, restore peace to Guanzhong, and let the fertile land of Guanzhong burst into life again.

He wants to turn this imperial base into a great help to himself!
As for Prime Minister Cao...

It was enough to have the King of Chu in Guanzhong, so the King of Wei would naturally return to his Xuchang and continue to serve as his prime minister.

The army is getting closer and closer to Chang'an City...

Boom! ~
Suddenly, a loud dull noise was heard on one side outside Chang'an City.

"What's the noise?"

"Enemy troops are approaching!"

"Protect His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

The five thousand White-ear soldiers treated them as a formidable enemy and surrounded Liu Wu even more tightly.

Liu Wu's expression remained unchanged, he just turned his head and looked...

A cloud of yellow smoke like a dragon swept in from the direction of Tongguan.

But I saw thousands of horses galloping with the force of thunder, as if a violent storm was roaring.

cavalry!

At least tens of thousands of cavalrymen galloped towards Chang'an City!

In the rolling yellow dust, a battle flag with the word "Horse" on it was flying wildly and attracted everyone's attention.

"My lord!" Gan Ning rode his horse and passed through the White Eared Soldiers' guards with difficulty, and came to Liu Wu's front. "The ones coming are the Xiliang Cavalry. Ma Chao is leading the troops to attack us!"

……

Xilulu! ~
"drive!"

"Hurry to the city of Chang'an and recapture it!"

Thirty thousand Xiliang cavalrymen marched in a mighty force towards the city of Chang'an.

The dense iron hooves pounded the ground, like the roar of thunder in the summer sky, and the ground outside Chang'an City was shaking slightly.

Ma Chao held a gun in one hand and the reins in the other, his face tense.

After he set out with his 30,000 cavalry, he ordered that no one should dismount from their horses until they saw Chang'an.

After traveling day and night, he finally saw Chang'an City ahead, and Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief...

Along the way, he had received several messages from scouts from Chang'an.

It seems that the army occupying Chang'an was not Liu Wu's main force, but only a part of his army, which consisted of only 5,000 cavalry. Now that he is leading 30,000 cavalry back, it should be no problem for him to recapture Chang'an City.

But since it was Liu Wu's vanguard that came, his main force must be not far from Chang'an.

"Liu Zilie!" Ma Chao's eyes flashed with gloom. "That Tiger Marquis has praised you to such an extent, I want to see how capable you are."

Rumble~
The huge movement broke Ma Chao's thoughts.

On the other side of the Xiliang cavalry, a large army was approaching Chang'an City like a wave...

The weapons and armor are sophisticated and the formation is mighty.

The iron-blooded spirit that could kill thousands of troops spread out in all directions!
The word "Chu" on the royal flag where the enemy's central army was located was so eye-catching.

Pang De, a general under Ma Chao, had already shouted loudly: "My lord! That is Liu Wu's central army banner. Liu Wu is definitely in this army!"

Ma Mengqi's face suddenly turned ugly...

Liu Wu’s main force has arrived!
