Jinchangfang, a three-story inn named Laishun, with the closure of the door, this inn quickly became lively, one of the important reasons is that the second floor of the inn opened a small casino. Although the size of the place is limited, the number of gamblers in it is no less than that of any regular gambling house, and it is also the most populous of the three floors.

In the casino, crowds of people crowded and wandered in front of the various gaming tables, some smiling, holding their hard-won gains in their hands and continuing to walk between the gaming tables. Some of them were depressed, and when they walked to the wall separating the casino from the stairs, they would have unwilling resentment on their faces, gritted their teeth, and continued to turn around and return to the casino, walking towards a few guys with wooden sticks in the casino, and then sneered, said a few good words, wrote an IOU, borrowed a little money, and gritted their teeth again to the table.

In the middle room on the third floor, Lin Feng was discussing with Li Xiaofeng, Chen Wansan, Yuan Biao and Zhang Qi what might happen next and how to deal with it. A door was opened in the room on both sides, and more than a dozen brothers were talking in low voices on both sides, mostly about some interesting things happening in the casino downstairs. Which family's Zhang San lost another three taels of silver last night, which family's Li Si also mortgaged his ancestral treasure to the casino this afternoon, and Wang Wu, who sold buns on the street, actually won more than ten taels of silver overnight, which was enough for him to sell buns for half a year.

The casino on the second floor was originally just a small casino opened by a ruffian hooligan nearby, gathering a group of market gangsters to cheat money and make a living, and after Lin Feng and others moved into Changfang, after Chen Wansan inquired about the news, he paid a high price to take the casino down, and at the same time continued to hire the original ruffians and hooligans, and this Laishun inn has also become a foothold and gathering place for Lin Feng and others.

As for the innkeeper, everyone knows that the boss has returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and where his hometown is, and how long the innkeeper will go, it is unknown, but they know that the boss temporarily handed over the inn to a distant relative to take care of it, and these things are only fresh news in the first few days, and within ten days, no one will pay attention to these things anymore.

During the discussion, Wang Teng arrived at the Laishun Inn alone, and under the leadership of the Feng Kill brothers stationed on the first floor, he easily went to the third floor to see Lin Feng, and then told a detailed account of what happened in the Hanliang Hall of Daming Palace in the afternoon, of course, Wang Teng did not forget to focus on the contradiction with Zhang Li.

"It seems that Huang Chao has the intention to take your suggestion and is ready to withdraw from Chang'an?" After listening to Wang Teng's narration, Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, tapped his fingers on the table, stared at the sparkling tea in the cup, and asked softly: "Then what do you think if Huang Chao wants to leave Chang'an, when will he make a decision?" Will the whole army go, or will only part of it? ”

"As far as I know, the withdrawal of the whole army is unlikely!" Wang Teng thought for a while, replied very firmly, and then saw that Lin Feng and the others were looking at him, so he continued to explain softly: "According to his temperament, he shouldn't give up the huge Chang'an City so easily!" ”

"It's quite possible!" Zhang Qi nodded and took over: "And the defense measures of Chang'an City are too strong, it is difficult to defeat with the strength of our army alone!" Although there is a serious shortage of food and grass in the city now, if Huang Chao withdraws most of the troops out of the pass, leaving only a small part, he will still be able to hold out for three or five months! This Chang'an City, even if there are only tens of thousands of defenders, as long as you focus on defense, it is still difficult to be breached! ”

"If you want to get out of Chang'an and go to Lantian, it's faster than Tongguan! Be easy, too! Lin Feng suddenly spoke, and when everyone couldn't react, he continued to add in a deep voice: "The Lantian area belongs to the plain area, and there is no obstacle like Tongguan, I think Huang Chao is not likely to attack Tongguan, but go directly to Lantian, and then pass through Shangzhou, and it is even possible to take the opportunity to recruit the defeated Meng Kai's old department in Shangzhou, and Meng Kai is still alive now, if I am Huang Chao, in the current situation of extreme lack of talents, I will definitely find a way to find and provide some help to Meng Kai!" ”

"Brother-in-law, if Huang Chao retreats from Lantian, our army simply won't have enough troops to intercept it at the moment!" Li Xiaofeng immediately understood that this was to start a blocking battle in the Lantian area, and hurriedly opened his mouth to analyze: "Even if our army counts all the troops of Tongguan and Ziwu Pass, it is still less than 60,000!" If Huang Chao retreats with 200,000 people, it will still be difficult for our army to resist! ”

"You've said too much about our troops!" Lin Feng shook his head with a smile, looked at Li Xiaofeng and explained: "Tongguan, Meridian Pass, none of them can be given up, especially Tongguan, we still need to continue to increase our troops, after all, what kind of decision Huang Chao will make in the end, we still don't know, if it really swings the army to Tongguan, according to the current strength of Tongguan, it is not enough to resist Huangchao's onslaught!" You must know that once Huang Chao decides to retreat, when attacking Tongguan, he will inevitably fight to the death, and the defenders of Tongguan will not be able to resist it at all! ”

"Moreover, if the Yellow Nest is not poured out, our army still needs to continue to keep soldiers and horses to keep an eye on Chang'an!" After a pause, Lin Feng groaned slightly, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, even if our army wants to block it, the strength that can come out of it is only about 20,000 people!" It's so little! Moreover, if it is a blockade, the heavily armed Modao army will hardly be used, and the main thing to use is cavalry! ”

At this time, everyone, including Li Xiaofeng, was silent, 20,000 people went to block the enemy army ten times their size, and the most elite and warlike Modao army could not participate in the battle, just thinking about it, everyone could understand the danger.

"Xiaofeng, what did you say about the news over there from Chen Cang last time?" After being silent for a long time, Lin Feng slowly raised his head, looked at Li Xiaofeng and asked, and then immediately added: "Also, when will the baggage team, especially the ballista, arrive?" If there is a ballista, the Mo Dao Army may be able to play a role! Even an army of 200,000 can have the strength to fight! ”

"Some time ago, the situation is not very optimistic!" Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and explained with a bitter sigh: "General Li Jian led five thousand Li family troops as the vanguard to open the way, but the damage to Chencang Road was too serious, and there was autumn rain a while ago, which caused a serious delay in the marching process. As for the Feng family army, it is the second half of the army, firstly, because the Feng family army is too tired in the war in Fengzhou, and secondly, the ballista cannot enter the current Chencang Road on a large scale! ”

"It seems that the current situation is really worrying!" After listening, Lin Feng also sighed lightly, facing a huge Chang'an City and hundreds of thousands of pseudo-Qi rebels, in contrast, Lin Feng is now in short supply of soldiers, although he can figure out how to deal with pseudo-Qi, but after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!
