Liu Yu turned over on the horse, grabbed Xie Duyan's wrist, lifted it lightly, pulled him onto the horse, and sat behind him.

The two rode horses and galloped in the goose-feathered snow, only to see that the pavilions and pavilions in Chang'an City had been covered in silver, which was not a beautiful scene.

Xie Duyan felt that the scenery on both sides flew upside down, and involuntarily gently hugged Liu Yu's waist and pressed his face against his broad back.

Snowflakes fell on her jet-black bun and long eyelashes. She blew lightly, and the snowflakes that had not yet fallen were changed by the white vapor exhaled from her mouth, and instead landed on Liu Yu's back, moistening into patches of wet stains as her body temperature melted. Although the movement was small, it made Xie Duyan smile.

Liu Yu sat in front of the horse, and naturally couldn't see these small movements made by Xie Duyan behind him. He rode his horse wholeheartedly and ran in the direction of Chunming Gate.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no one outside the city, leaving only a horseshoe print heading east on the long official road.

The sound of hooves clattered, and the white jade splashed. Young men and women on horseback, the age is just right!

After about half a burnt incense, Liu Yu and Xie Duyan came to the Chunming Gate and restrained the horse's reins. At this time, the snow fell rapidly, and even the rebels outside the city stopped the siege. Inside and outside the city, there was silence.

The soldiers guarding the city saw Xie Duyan sitting behind Liu Yu in the ice and snow from a distance, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and they all turned their eyes here.

Xie Duyan smiled slightly, consciously covering her face with a veil.

It wasn't until a long time before the soldiers came to their senses.

Someone knew Liu Yu and hurriedly greeted him, led the horse to the side to feed him, and at the same time someone went to the city to ask Yan Lie, the commander of the forbidden army.

After a while, Yan Lie rubbed his hands and trotted down from under the city wall, and said to the people around him: "Quick, fast, the weather is so cold, don't serve tea to Lord Liu!"

He knew that Liu Yu had already taken up the banner of taking charge of the Sword Gate, but he deliberately still called him "adult".

"No need, thank you General Yan. How is the military situation in the past two days?" Liu Yu asked with a smile, turning a deaf ear to Yan Lie's careful thoughts, thinking that today he had experienced what Hedong and Hexi were.

Once his identity is no longer a court official, an old-school court official like Yan Lie will no longer value him.

This is an era in which people are respected by their status and are born in the lintel, and no one's thinking can escape the trap. Occasionally, there is a strange thing like Wang Daozhi, and he is laughed at as a fool by others.

Yan Lie put his hands to his mouth and sighed, and replied, "It's almost unbearable, people's hearts have almost dispersed." In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the heavy snow to lead the Chinese Wu Minister to break out, and if the Holy Shang does go to Shudi, then we will follow to Shudi. Thinking of my Tang Dynasty's luck Hongchang, Emperor Xuanzong came back from Shu and recovered our great rivers and mountains from the hands of the Hu people. The reason why the Holy Lord went to Shu today must have the same consideration, and those of us who are courtiers must be considerate of the Sacred Heart!"

Liu Yu looked at Yan Lie coldly, "You can go, but what about the people in the city? Once the city is broken, it is not a half-hearted person who dies!"

Yan Lie was slightly stunned and looked straight at Liu Yu, "When I recovered Chang'an from the Anshi Rebellion, there were only 20,000 households in the city, but once the war passed, the population could quickly recover to its prosperity, and it rose to two or three hundred thousand households in a blink of an eye. ”

Liu Yu sighed softly, "In your opinion, the people of Li are just a number, and the population can reproduce if it is lost. But in my opinion, those are living lives!"

"We couldn't save so many people, otherwise we would have done it a long time ago. Whoever does great things must not have the kindness of a woman. Lord Liu is a person who has experienced life and death on the battlefield, and this should also be understood!" Yan Lie spread his hands.

Now he no longer needs Liu Yu to help defend the capital and protect the saint, so although he still has respect for him in his heart, he is determined to refute Liu Yu on the fundamental road of loyalty to the monarch.

In Yan Lie's opinion, all the people of Chang'an City together are not as important as a finger of the saint. As long as the decision he made was beneficial to the Holy Lord and the imperial court, then he should not hesitate in any case, but should push forward with all his might.

"General Yan, your son Yan Feng has been to the Sword Sect a few times recently. Xie Duyan, who had been silent, suddenly interjected and said something else unrelated.

"Where is he going!?" Yan Lie suddenly became vigilant, staring at the veiled woman in front of him.

"Said he wanted to join us. Xie Duyan said with a smile.

"Nonsense! He is the son of a dignified general, he has learned literary and martial arts, and he is sold to the emperor's family, how can he casually mingle with the people of the rivers and lakes!" Yan Lie was so angry that he no longer concealed his contemptuous attitude towards the people of the rivers and lakes.

Xie Duyan didn't care, and said lightly: "General Yan is certainly willing to contribute to the imperial court, but General Yan has been buried in the city for so many days, shouting every day that he wants to abandon the city to find the emperor, of course General Yan is not of the same mind as you." ”

"Anyway, what do you need the old man to do, so that you won't use my son as a threat!" Yan Lie was a smart man, and he quickly understood the implicit meaning of Xie Duyan's words.

"There are not many requirements, and they will try to defend the city for three months, during which time nothing will go wrong. I heard that Pei Yuan, the secretary of the military department, and you are a grasshopper on the same rope, you turn around and tell him that all the supplies in the army that should be provided are indispensable, don't think about taking them out of the city!" Xie Duyan simply showed his conditions.

"Okay, I promise. Yan Lie gritted his teeth, "But Lord Liu must promise me that I will never fight Yan Feng's idea again." ”

"I promise, as long as General Yan can defend the city for three months, then I will definitely not let Yan Feng enter!" Liu Yu nodded lightly, and then sighed.

Yan Lie was relieved when he saw that Liu Yu agreed to the request, and then his attitude was relaxed, and he resumed laughter, and led Liu Yu and Xie Duyan to the city tower to inspect.

Looking out from the towering Chang'an City Gate, I saw countless tents of the rebels densely distributed along the frozen moat. From time to time, soldiers would come out of their tents and come to the moat to dig ice and get water.

Liu Yu walked along the city wall, signaling that Yan Lie did not need to accompany him, while Xie Duyan followed behind him. The two of them walked forward through the snow, leaving a vague outline for the sergeants.

"It seems that this battle is settled, I thought there would be a truce in winter, so I asked Cao Dongli to wait until spring to come back. Liu Yu sighed, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

"The Sword Sect will definitely be able to survive this difficulty, even if others don't support you, I support you!" Xie Duyan said word by word, the north wind roared, and she couldn't help but shiver with cold.

Liu Yu took off his robe and covered it on Xie Duyan's big coat, "It's just that the price paid is not small, I like Yan Feng very much, he is aggressive." ”

Xie Duyan lowered her head, "But sometimes we have to give up. ”
