Chapter 681: Besieging Chang'an
Over there in Chang'an City, there is news coming.
"Shengshang, the soldiers and horses of the Jin and Tubo countries and the Zhou state have already reached Chang'an City, and soon, they will besiege the city."
The soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms are not weak, and among the Tang Kingdom, the only available soldiers and horses are Li Jing, but Li Jing does not have many soldiers and horses, and he is completely unable to stop the attack of the Three Kingdoms.
Now Li Jing has returned to Chang'an City with soldiers and horses, and guarded Chang'an with Luo Yi.
The official told Li Yu about the situation, and Xu Maogong and others became more and more anxious when they heard this time.
"Saint, now that the Ming Kingdom has been destroyed, let's hurry back to Chang'an to rescue."
"Yes, Holy Lord, if you go back late, the situation in Chang'an City will not be good."
"Holy Lord, go back."
“…………”
Everyone proposed to go back to the rescue as soon as possible, Li Yu thought for a moment, and then said, "Integrate the soldiers and horses and go back to Chang'an." The ministers were ordered to retreat, but Chen Ping was here, but he said: "Shengshang, although we go back, the Song State can't let them be idle, and now the Zhou State is still fighting against the Song State, if the Song State increases its troops, the pressure on the Zhou State will be great, and they will not be able to continue the attack when they are in Chang'an City." ”
Chen Ping's meaning was already very simple and clear, Li Yu nodded, and then sent someone to call Song Kuangyi over.
Song Kuangyi didn't think much about Li Yu's summoning, but who made Tang Guo's strength still very strong now, so he could only endure it.
"Is there anything wrong with Emperor Tang coming to me?"
Li Yu glanced at Song Kuangyi and said, "The prince is a person with great ambitions, and I am also very supportive of you, but now there is something that I am afraid you need to do." ”
The meaning of Li Yu's words is already obvious, he supports Song Kuangyi as the son of heaven of the Song Kingdom, but the premise is that Song Kuangyi wants to do something for their Tang Kingdom.
Song Kuangyi was a smart man, so he naturally heard the meaning of Li Yu's words, and after he heard it, he hesitated.
Whether he can become the son of heaven of the Song Kingdom has little to do with the Tang Kingdom, but if Tang Guo is willing to help, many things will naturally go much smoother.
He glanced up at Li Yu slightly, and after a long time, he finally said, "What does the Tang Emperor need me to do?" ”
"I'm going to return to the court, I want you to take your soldiers and horses of the Song State to fight against the Zhou State, is it feasible?"
Hearing this, Song Kuangyi somewhat understood the meaning of Li Yu's words, Li Yu was ready to use their Song State's soldiers and horses to contain Zhou's soldiers and horses, and even put some pressure on Zhou.
To put it bluntly, this is similar to Wei Wei saving Zhao.
After he understood, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Naturally, it is feasible, I will take the soldiers and horses to fight against the Zhou State." ”
Seeing that Song Kuangyi agreed, Li Yu nodded: "Okay, what I said today also counts, and I will help you become the son of heaven of your Song Kingdom." ”
After the two men had said this, they each took their soldiers and horses and left.
Jinling City is still some distance from Chang'an City, and Li Yu and the others are a large army, and it will take at least a month to reach Chang'an City.
And they knew very well that when they arrived at Chang'an City, Chang'an City was afraid that it had been surrounded by the Three Kingdoms, but there was no way to do it, they couldn't go fast.
------------------------
When Li Yu rushed to Chang'an City with his soldiers and horses, the news of the destruction of the Ming Kingdom had already spread.
The Great Hall of the Zhou Kingdom.
"Holy Lord, the Ming Kingdom was destroyed by the Tang Kingdom and the Song Kingdom."
When the news came, Zhou Wumei's eyebrows suddenly condensed.
"What, the Ming Kingdom was destroyed like this, what's going on?"
In Zhou Wumei's opinion, even if the Ming State is defeated by the Tang State and the Song State, their strength is not weak, and there should be no problem in supporting them for a longer time.
But the Ming Kingdom was destroyed sooner than he expected.
"Saintly, smallpox occurred in Jinling City of the Ming Kingdom, and many soldiers and people of the Ming Kingdom were infected with smallpox, but the Tang Kingdom had a way to treat smallpox, so the Ming Kingdom was destroyed in advance."
"Smallpox?" Hearing that Tang Guo had a way to treat smallpox, Zhou Wumei was a little shocked, he felt that Tang Guo was too rebellious, and even had a way to treat such a disease.
"Incredible, incredible."
Zhou Wumei thought in her heart that now, Tang Guo's ability to treat smallpox was even greater than the shock that Ming Guo's destruction gave him.
"Shengshang, the Ming Kingdom is destroyed, Li Yu wants to lead troops back to help, to destroy the Tang Kingdom, and even to capture Chang'an City, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Holy Lord, the soldiers and horses of the Song Kingdom are stepping up their attack on us, and they are afraid that they want to contain our forces."
"Holy Lord, what should we do in Zhou Kingdom now?"
The Ming State was destroyed, Tang Yu was going to come back to help, and the Song State strengthened its attack on them, so it can be said that the situation of their Zhou State is also a little bad now, whether to continue to besiege Chang'an City, or to withdraw.
Zhou Wumei's eyes were staring, and the ministers in the court and the central government had their own opinions.
"Shengshang, Chang'an City is very strong, even if we attack for a year, we may not be able to attack it, so the minister's opinion, since Tang Yu has already led the troops back, it is better for us to retreat as soon as possible."
"Yes, Shengshang, the Chang'an city minister has seen it before, it is very high, almost towering into the sky, we can't attack it at all, it's better to withdraw the soldiers and horses."
"Holy Lord, withdraw your troops......"
Many people said they wanted to withdraw their troops, but some were against it.
"Holy Lord, now that the three kingdoms have finally attacked Chang'an City together, if the troops are withdrawn, there will be no such opportunity in the future."
"Yes, Holy Lord, we must not miss the opportunity and never come again, if we withdraw our troops now, what chance will we have to attack the Tang Kingdom in the future?"
"The Tang Kingdom is not as strong as the legend, we don't have to be afraid of them, gather the strength of our three kingdoms, can't we capture Chang'an City?"
“………………”
The two groups of people expressed their opinions, and no one could convince anyone, and the whole hall was noisy, which made people a little unbearable.
Zhou Wumei looked at the situation in front of her, her eyebrows condensed slightly, and after a long time, she finally waved her hand and said, "Okay, now that the Three Kingdoms are besieging Chang'an City, it is indeed an opportunity for us, I don't want to miss this opportunity, let our soldiers and horses continue to attack the city." ”。
Zhou Wumei didn't have a bottom in her heart, but he didn't want to give up in the face of such an opportunity, so he could only bite the bullet, as long as he captured Chang'an City, the entire land of China, they Zhou State could become the most powerful country, at that time, she would be the first empress of the ages.
Zhou Wumei's ambition doesn't have to be small for those men at all. Seeing Zhou Wumei like this, after looking at each other, the ministers could only sigh helplessly, since Zhou Wumei wanted to continue to besiege Chang'an City, then they could only obey orders and continue to besiege Chang'an City.
