"right!"

Zhao Huan glared at the sight and scared Kang Chengxun, who wanted to come forward to speak, then got up and looked at each other one by one, and then said: "The powerful generals around me have been sent to the front line to defend Chang'an to the death. I and Yan'an are dangerous. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are on the people!"

As soon as this statement came out, the generals in the cabinet became even more excited and swore together: "I wish to protect your Majesty and the people in the whole city to be safe and die without regret."

"Okay, I feel so relieved."

Very comforting is something that makes the generals in front of him willing to fight to the death. However, Zhao Huan felt no relaxation at all.

The generals who are truly capable of attacking and defending and are very prestigious in the army have all been sent to the front line. Even Zhong Ji, Xue Qiang: Generals who are a little older than Zhe Xiaozhong who are deliberately placed in the army to train by Zhao Huan are not around.

He was calm on the surface, but he was actually worried on the inside.

As an emperor, he has always relied on the Privy Councilor and senior general who are knowledgeable about military affairs. This battle in Chang'an was obviously to do it himself, and there was no possibility of relying on others again.

Zhang Jun has his own strengths, and such a decisive battle to defend the city is not something he can call for or inspire.

I meditated on myself and asked Kang Chengxun first: "In your opinion, what should I do now?"

As the highest leader of Zhao Huan's guards, Kang Chengxun originally did not agree with Zhao Huan's opinion of defending his life, but agreed with the minister's idea, hoping that Zhao Huan would run away immediately, which was the safest.

However, the emperor made a decision, but he was not convenient for him to talk too much. As a military general, he could only serve the king with sincerity and do his best to serve him.

Seeing Zhao Huan ask, he immediately said, "In my opinion, the most urgent thing now is to know whether the enemy is coming to Chang'an seriously, how many people, horses, and cavalry are there. Whether there are siege equipment and whether there are food and grass to help. If you understand these, you can defeat the enemy according to the situation, rather than being led by the enemy."

After listening quietly, Zhao Huan looked around and saw Zhang Jun, Zhang Suo, Xie Liang, Wang Ye and other well-known ministers all showed praise.

Not waiting for him to speak. Zhang Jun and his fellow magistrate, Shumi Wang Ye, came forward and said, "What Kang Chengxun said is indeed reasonable."

Zhang Su was once the governor of Hebei Road. Although he is now the prime minister, he couldn't help but speak: "Yes, although Kang Chengxun has been in front of the palace for a long time, he just reported it and has the style of a general."

With the approval of these military ministers, Kang Chengxun's face was shiny with excitement and immediately said, "Since all the lords agree, it's better for me to lead hundreds of elite cavalry to investigate."

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "You are the supreme commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace. With you there, the morale of the army will not be worrying. If you make a mistake, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable."

Kang Chengxun wanted to go forward and ask again, Zhao Huan shook his head slightly and stopped him with his eyes.

In Chang'an City, this general he trusted the most was this person. How could he let him take risks?

Dangyeling said, "Take Hu Bin as the chief and Zhu Ji as the deputy. Take three hundred elite cavalry to check in the Hezhong area. If you see the enemy and cannot fight, just find out the situation and return immediately."

Hu and Zhu were both generals of the front office of the Palace. Hearing that the emperor handed over such an important task to the two, they looked at each other and laughed, and took a step forward, saying together: "I am obeying Your Majesty's decree. Once you see the enemy soldiers, you will definitely not fight."

Zhao Huan looked a little tired from his eyebrows and ordered him to say, "If you see the escaped prefectures and county officials, you can take them back at the same time."

"Yes, I know."

Zhao Huanqiang was energetic and laughed loudly: "The two generals are all Generals in front of me, and they will definitely live up to my expectations."

After that, there was no need to go through the procedure of issuing the Privy Council. He directly sent the emperor's imperial edict, and the two of them held the order, mobilized their troops, left the city overnight, and went to see the enemy's situation.

Zhang Jun watched the two of them leave, knowing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so he immediately turned his mind and said to Zhao Huan: "Since your Majesty is determined to do so?"

Such a question was actually very disrespectful to the emperor, but he naturally asked.

Zhao Huan smiled slightly and said to him: "I am determined to make up my mind."

"Yes, I understand." Zhang Jun bowed, his eyebrows full of solemn and murderous aura. He bowed and said, "I am your majesty's military minister, so I will naturally give advice for you. Since your majesty does not accept the advice of the patrol, I have something to say."

"You are here."

"Your Majesty's arrangements tonight are still appropriate. But there are still many omissions."

At this moment, no one cared about Zhang Jun's words, and even he himself said according to his own ideas and did not care. Seeing the emperor frowned and just waiting for himself to speak, he immediately said: "It was right to dispatch troops and horses to the vicinity of the city wall, but Your Majesty just ordered the entire army to pass through, regardless of the importance of the main and secondary, and there was no backup. If the enemy arrived tonight, as long as he was a little bit disproportionate, he would likely be defeated in the whole world. In addition, in addition to the dispatch of troops to the city, Chang'an Prefecture also needs to send strong people to prepare wood, gunpowder, stones, sandbags and other equipment to guard the city. The enemy situation is urgent, so there is no need to delay any delay."

When Zhao Huan heard this, he knew that the other party was completely correct.

To defend the city, you need to distinguish between the primary and secondary, you also need to have corresponding reserves, and you also need a large number of assistive equipment to defend the city.

Although Zhao Huan's first reaction was correct, he had a bit of a problem of pulling all his belongings up. However, Zhang Jun was not too anxious and the few things he proposed were all insightful.

He understood in his heart that he immediately sent the co-magistrate of the Shumi Wang Ye and the prefect of Chang'an to mobilize the people and Zhuang near the city gate to prepare many cities and guard the city equipment.

At this time, the sky in the distance had already shined slightly.

Although they didn't sleep all night, everyone was completely tired. They just thought about whether the enemy was really coming and when they could arrive under Chang'an City.

At the beginning of the Chen hour, the entire Chang'an City began to wake up from the dark night.

However, although it was clear and the curfew was lifted, people could enter and exit at will, but the city gate was still closed, forbidden to travel inside and outside the city. In addition, the situation was strange at night, so many people deliberately came to the palace to inquire about the news. However, today, the guards near the palace were very tight, and a large number of guards in front of the palace were guarding each other from a distance. As soon as they approached, the soldiers pointed their shiny spear tips at their chests, and they were not allowed to step closer.

At the same time, the envoy of the Privy Council and the magistrate of Chang'an summoned thousands of people overnight to accumulate stones, wood, lime, and sandbags near the city gates, and also spread throughout the city.

After dawn, many soldiers from the wing army went to the Arrow Building and Bow Crossbow Courtyard in the city to collect a large number of ground crossbows and arrows. Along the way, hundreds of thousands of people were worried. They watched the soldiers pulling huge crossbows in carriages and advancing towards the city.

No matter how dull a person is, he knows that there must be a Jin army attack.

Whether the emperor is still in the city and whether the ministers are still there, everyone is completely inconsistent.

Moreover, in the middle of the night, there was news that hundreds of cavalrymen rushed out of the city. First, they spread from the residences near the city gate, and then quietly spread to the people in the city, causing people to feel disheartened and panic. Even many officials who did not know the details of the palace began to feel panic, gathered together one by one, and discussed it. If they had connections and connections, they went to find their boss to inquire about the exact news.

Until noon, many embarrassed officials and a small number of soldiers came outside the city. They shouted and opened the city gate in chaos, and were then escorted by the generals guarding the city to the palace.

Not long after, a small group of cavalry of one or two hundred people rushed to the city, and many were wounded with arrows and covered in blood. While they entered the city, a considerable number of gentry and people riding horses or donkeys followed closely. Just as this team of cavalry entered the city, they followed.

After putting in a group of people, seeing more and more people fleeing, the responsible general who guarded the city saw that something was wrong, immediately ordered the soldiers to force the soldiers to drive open the more and more people at the city gate, and forcibly closed the city gate despite the other party's shouts and cries.

Not long after the heavy iron-covered city gate was closed, the soldiers looking at the top of the city were sharp-eyed and saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and teams of Jurchen cavalry appeared on the plain not far away and rushed towards them.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, soldiers were guarding the front of the city. Not far from the range of bows and arrows on the front of the city, several Jurchens, who looked like generals, gathered together on horseback and discussed in a low voice.

At this time, many of the soldiers guarding the city were urgently dispatched by the wing army and other miscellaneous soldiers. Seeing the other party like this, although there were only a few people, they were also frustrated and could not help but wait for the general to issue orders. Many soldiers took bows and arrows and shot arrows under the city.

The enemy was obviously outside the range, and the sparse arrows were still falling to the ground from a distance.

When the soldiers on the city wall shot archery, the Jurchens were also surprised. When they saw this, they burst into laughter. Someone drove the horse forward and pointed at the city wall with one hand and cursed. When the arrows on the city wall shot over, they still landed in the ground with more than ten steps, which made them laugh again.

As a result, the morale at the city was so low that it could not be lowered, and the enemy cavalry under the city gathered more and more. Seeing that the soldiers at the city were so useless, several senior Jurchen generals were quite willing to dispatch soldiers, asking those who were closer to dismount first, and then ordered people to cut down a few big trees and sharpen one end, as if they were about to force the gate to hit the arrows on the city.
