"General Larna!" Tian Long was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly turned sideways in front of Dili Larna, and shouted urgently, "General Larna, you can't do this!" Can't take them away! ”

"Get out of the way!" Dililarna snorted coldly.

Tian Long didn't let it, he couldn't let it, if he let go of the Western Turkic soldiers, how could he attack Tingzhou.

"Qiang-" Di Lilarna suddenly pulled out her saber and pointed at Tian Long, it was an extremely sharp Tang knife, since she used the Tang knife in the ancient city of Loulan last time, she fell in love with the Tang knife, and specially spent a lot of money to hire the casting master of the elite clan to create a Tang knife, and the materials were extremely precious, just to collect materials It cost more than fifty taels of gold.

Dili Larna pointed at the tip of Tian Long's nose with a Tang knife, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to stop it again, General Ben will definitely call blood splash five steps!" ”

Tian Long was frightened by her words and took a step back, but he immediately took another step forward and continued to block in front of Dililarna, saying, "The Great Khan of your country promised our country ......"

There was a soft sound, Tian Long felt a cold neck, and suddenly there was a feeling of soaring, and then he found himself floating, and then he couldn't speak, there was a headless corpse standing, his clothes were exactly the same as his own, and Dililarna's knife was dripping blood...... This was the last moment of Tian Long's mental activity, and then his brain stopped functioning, his head fell to the ground, and the corpse also fell, blood splattered out, exactly five steps away, no more, no less.

Everyone was shocked, Tian Long was the commander of this barracks, and it was unimaginable to murder the boss in the barracks.

Dililarna shook off the blood on the blade of the knife, put the knife into the sheath, and said coldly: "Let's go." After that, he walked forward, and the Western Turkic army followed closely, leaving the stunned Tianlong personal guard here.

"Quick! Hurry up and report to the Qian Jian Army! One of the captains of the guards finally came to his senses and shouted in panic, "Tian Dashuai is dead, killed by General Dililarna!" ”

Dililarna left the barracks with an army of 16,000, and the barracks was already in chaos, but all this had nothing to do with her, and she was already thinking about what kind of punishment she would receive when she returned. Removal? Imprisonment? Those military generals who are jealous of themselves should be very happy, they will definitely impeach themselves, and the civilian officials will definitely fall into the ground...... It doesn't matter anymore, as long as she can take the remaining group of soldiers home, she is already very satisfied, and she no longer has to worry about Li Hao's affairs, she actually has a sense of relief, this strange feeling is the first time it has appeared.

All the way to the northwest, passing through Tingzhou City, only two or three miles away from Tingzhou City, the Tang army in the city saw so many people and horses coming, a panic, had already sounded the horn, entered the state of combat readiness, Li Hao also personally landed on the city, to observe the enemy's situation.

However, Li Hao found that the enemy did not seem to have the intention of attacking the city, as if he was just passing through here, and then took a closer look, the silver-armored general who led the team was quite familiar, he hurriedly checked it with a telescope, and immediately saw her face clearly, it was Xiao Di.

Di Li Larna also happened to turn her head to look in the direction of Tingzhou, and found that the Tang army on the city was all staring at them, which was normal, and she immediately found that there was a person on the city whose clothes were particularly conspicuous, it was a set of scarlet official uniforms, and there was only one person who could wear this kind of official uniform in Tingzhou, Assassin Shi Li Hao.

When the old people saw each other, they looked at each other from afar, and they didn't say a word, even if they did, they were afraid that they would be too far away to hear.

"It's Xiao Di." Li Hao looked at Dili Larna and sighed leisurely, there was a feeling that each other was a passerby in life, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

"Take care." Dililarna also sighed leisurely, withdrew her gaze, and continued on her way.

Li Hao, who was at the head of the city, saw Dililarna's 16,000 army go away, and then said lightly: "The Western Turks have withdrawn their troops. ”

The reason why Dililarna walked from this side was to tell Li Hao that the Western Turks had withdrawn their troops, and Li Hao also knew her intentions and was secretly grateful to her, this time, she really helped herself a lot.

As soon as they heard this news, the whole city rejoiced, and celebrated, the Western Turkic Army has always been the main force attacking Tingzhou, once they withdraw their troops, Gaochang still dares to fight Tingzhou again, maybe dare, but with Gaochang's only 10,000 soldiers and horses, Li Hao does not believe that they can capture Tingzhou, after all, there are still 2,000 soldiers and 500 wounded soldiers in Tingzhou, this group of wounded soldiers was too injured at the beginning, and they only need to recuperate for a month, and they can go to the battlefield again.

Li Hao felt that Gaochang would withdraw his troops, because as far as he knew, Gaochang originally only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and had already lost nearly 20,000, and there were only 10,000 people left, and unless Lu Wentai went crazy, he would not continue to attack Tingzhou.

It turned out that Li Hao guessed wrong this time, and three days later, Zhang Meng, the Duke of Jiaohe, returned to the marching camp again, and brought an edict from Lu Wentai, dismissing Tian Long from the position of commander, and he took over as the commander again.

When Lu Wentai issued this edict, he didn't know that Tian Long had been killed, and the reason why he removed Tian Long from the position was because of the plague.

Zhang Meng was very happy to finally regain his position, but when he came to the barracks, he found that the Western Turks had withdrawn their troops, and he was immediately confused.

He didn't sleep all night, and thought hard in the tooth tent for a night, his eyes were bloodshot, why should he think hard, because he was unwilling, if he let Lu Wentai know that the Western Turks had withdrawn their troops, this battle would definitely not be fought, then the handsome position he had won with great difficulty would become a joke, and he would be overjoyed, although he wanted to trample Tian Long under his feet, but he never thought of letting Tian Long die, everything that happened was far beyond his expectations.

After a night of hard thinking and meditation, Zhang Meng decided to fight for Lu Wentai again, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Gaochang quickly. He told two major events in the camp, first, the withdrawal of the Western Turks, and second, Tian Long was killed, and then he also stated a secret, Tingzhou has no food, and as long as the city is trapped for more than a month, Tingzhou can be self-defeating.

The lack of food in Tingzhou is actually expected, but no one knows to what extent the shortage is, but there is someone who knows, that is, Cao Tian, although Cao Tian is dead, but when he persuaded Zhang Meng and Zhang Lan brothers in Jiaohe City, he told them about the lack of food in Tingzhou, including the fact that he burned the grain and grass in Tingzhou.

Therefore, Zhang Meng knows very clearly about the shortage of food in Tingzhou, and he is also very sure that the food in Tingzhou will definitely not last for a month.

Three days later, Lu Wentai received Zhang Meng's recital, about Tian Long's killing and the withdrawal of the Western Turks, he knew about it three days ago, because on the day of the incident, the prison army Qian Zhenyao reported the matter, but at that time he had already sent Zhang Meng to the Tingzhou camp.

At that time, Lu Wentai had a plan to withdraw the army, after all, 70,000 troops did not capture Tingzhou, and now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and there is no hope, although he wants to take Tingzhou, but he doesn't want to bury all the soldiers and horses of the whole country there, in fact, this is like a gamble, he is afraid of losing, and he no longer dares to bet.

However, when he saw Zhang Mengzuo swearing in a compromise and swearing that he would report that Tingzhou was seriously short of food, and the food could not last for a month, and he was willing to make a military order or something, he was suddenly moved again, Tingzhou was too important to him, it was their Gaochang cash cow, and it must be controlled in his own hands.

Lu Wentai also thought hard all night, and finally made up his mind that he must take Tingzhou, Tingzhou is too important, and he is not reconciled, he has already paid such a painful loss, if he doesn't get anything, he is really too unwilling.

So Lu Wentai summoned all the ministers and ordered He Lanfeng, the general of Feng Weiyuan, to be the deputy marshal, with 10,000 troops, to reinforce Zhang Meng, and to take Tingzhou within two months, and at the same time, he also ordered that the whole country should recruit 10,000 troops again.

In their opinion, it is not worth paying such a big price for a small Tingzhou, and frequent conscription is easy to cause resentment and anger among the people.

In the face of the opposition of the ministers, Lu Wentai turned a deaf ear, insisted on going his own way, and even strictly reprimanded, if anyone persuaded again, he would not be spared, and the ministers were dumbfounded, and they did not dare to squeak anymore, this is the serious bad performance of the monarch's centralization, if in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng did not spray Li Shimin to death.

With the support of Lu Wentai and the addition of 10,000 troops, Zhang Meng was so happy that he immediately ordered the blockade of Tingzhou City on all sides, and the siege operation began.

At the same time, there began to be a grain shortage in the city of Tingzhou, ten days later, the grain of the Longchang grain shop was finally finished, and there was still half a month before the corn matured, Li Hao went to check the corn every day, and now the corn in the field was still very green and tender, but he was worried, he grinded the 100 stone corn he stored into flour, so that the Longchang grain shop lasted for another four days.

There are still a little more than ten days before the corn is ripe, but there is really no food in the city, only more than fifty stone of military food left, the military food is absolutely immovable, not that the sergeants are afraid of mutiny, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are very disciplined, such a crisis moment, they will never mutiny because of food, they would rather starve to death than let the people starve to death, this is the spirit of the soldiers, but these soldiers are the last umbrella of Tingzhou, Li Hao can not let them starve even if he starves.

On the first day of the food shortage, the city was very quiet, the second day, it was also very quiet, and on the third day, there was news that people were dying of starvation, there were old people, women and children, but there were no children, and the people did not make noise, nor did they make noise, it was very quiet.

When Li Hao heard Lu Yun's report, he felt that his heart was dripping blood, but as the assassin of Tingzhou, he couldn't do anything, that feeling was really as if there were thousands of knives stabbing his heart, piercing his heart, really piercing his heart.

On the fourth day, more people starved to death, a little statistics, there were fifty-three people, the people were still very quiet, they seemed to have discussed the general, just silently starving, silently dying, they met a good thorn history, but at the same time Li Hao met a group of good people, trust and respect between people, at this moment is fully reflected, the people are using their lives to support this young thorn history.
