Chapter 870

"It is not easy to march long distances, and there are many passes along the way, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for the army to pass through these military towns?"

Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Let Qin Man fight over." ”

The people of Liangzhou sharpened their knives and wanted to fight with the Rong clan for a long time, but Cheng Dalei kept pressing. Now that Cheng Dalei has finally relented, everyone is excited, looking forward to the day when he will start a war with the Rong clan.

"Go and go back quickly, be careful along the way. Cheng Dalei said to Hua Rong.

Hua Rong agreed and ordered to leave.

When he brings Qin Man's 10,000 troops to Liangzhou, to which Cheng Dalei belongs, even if he really joins this chaotic war. Now it's just a little fight, a little fun.

Looking at Hua Rong's departing back, Gao Feibao said: "Big boss, there are five or six hundred thousand people in the Rong clan, let's only transfer 10,000 horses, isn't it a little enough?"

The Rong tribe dispatched about 200,000 people in this invasion, and after continuous fighting, it is inevitable that a number of people will be lost. Counting the people they had taken captive, and the captives they had conquered, there were at least 500,000 people.

Mobilizing 10,000 soldiers and horses to join this melee does seem to be a drop of water into the sea, and it will not be of much use.

Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "There are big difficulties, and small ones have small advantages." The war has reached this point, and it is no longer a simple comparison of forces. The time, place and people are favorable, and we have to fight with the Rong people. It takes time for Hua Rong to come and go, so let's take a look at what to do next?"

Cheng Dalei rode the black bull in front, and everyone followed him, and everyone was ready to return to the current base camp to plan the next move.

Along the way, Cheng Dalei was silent, only listening to the discussions of a few people behind him, excited about the upcoming war, but Cheng Dalei did not participate in it.

10,000 troops is indeed a bit less, Cheng Dalei told everyone part of the reason, but not all of the reasons.

The most fundamental reason is that Cheng Dalei does not want to participate in this war at all.

The war between the Rong people and the imperial court is for the world. No matter who is the master of this world, it is all about prosperity and suffering of the people, and death and suffering of the people. At the end of the day, it doesn't make much of a difference.

In that case, why get involved in this war.

Of course, the war is not completely meaningless, and if you can help Li Letian hold Chang'an, you can stop the Rong people from invading the Central Plains. If they can be defeated, the Rong people will not dare to invade the empire for at least ten years, and the empire can also free up its hands and clean up its own affairs.

As the commander of an army, if he let his subordinates know that Cheng Dalei didn't want to go to war at all, his morale would be greatly affected.

Therefore, Cheng Dalei can't expose his inner thoughts in front of people, and at the same time he has to convince himself to join this war. went all out to help Li Letian defeat the Rong clan and defend Chang'an City.

"The big boss, the Rong people are numerous, and we don't have any advantage in a head-on conflict. It is better to start with grain and grass and cut off their logistics. ”

In the current camp, everyone gathered together to discuss, and Gao Feihu was the first to speak.

Cheng Dalei nodded: "It's not unreasonable, what is the state of the Rong people's grain and grass?"

"I know something. Guan Yu said: "The Rong people's treatment of grain and grass is different from that of the empire. The empire was centrally controlled, and the armies used it as needed. However, the grain and grass of the Rong people mainly rely on plundering everywhere, and the grain and grass are stored in the battalions, and some teams grab more, and some teams do not grab enough, and they will go hungry. ”

"In that case, it's not easy for us to start. Cheng Dalei sighed, frowning and pondering.

In the eyes of the Empire, the Rong people were extremely barbaric. This is not without reason, they do not have the set of imperial monarchs and ministers in their eyes, and the code of ethics is often very confusing. But the Rong people relied on the characteristics of simplicity, barbarism, and cruelty to run rampant on the land of the empire and defeated the self-proclaimed civilized and refined imperial people.

For example, in the management of grain and grass, of course, the self-sufficiency of each battalion has many shortcomings, but it also avoids the situation that the granary is taken advantage of by the enemy.

Cheng Dalei held his chin and pondered what he should do next. The army has not yet arrived, and there is not much that can be done, but everyone cannot be idle during this time.

The key is that whether Chang'an can hold out until the Rong people arrive is a question.

......

The situation in Chang'an City is definitely not good.

And, there is no sign of any improvement.

The order to slaughter the city has been passed to the city, and everyone still knows the style of the Rong people, for them, the slaughter of the city is a very common thing, and it will be strange not to slaughter the city.

Ma Mengqi took 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city, and never looked back, as for what happened to him, no one knows now.

The Rong people launched 500,000 manpower to attack the city, the loss was Chang'an City, the city here is strong, if it is replaced by an ordinary city, I am afraid that a person can spit foam, and the city can be submerged.

Siege the city every day, defend the city every day. Under the leadership of Li Letian, this city withstood round after round of attacks by the Rong people.

I have to say that Li Letian's reputation for good defense has been vividly demonstrated in this battle.

But that doesn't change the ending.

I have to say that Li Letian is indeed a competent emperor. can be called conscientious, even the concubines in the harem, I don't remember how long he hasn't been back to the palace.

Soon after Li Letian succeeded to the throne, he encountered one trouble after another. Until now, no queen has been decided. And perhaps it was the Righteous Sect's destruction of the harem that left a shadow on him, and the number of concubines in his harem was not large. In the matter of women, he has always been very restrained.

There is no addiction to women, no power and ministers, and there are no all kinds of hobbies that ordinary people can have, and the emperor should not have.

It is said that Li Letian loved fencing when he was young, and he was still very famous in Chang'an City, but Emperor Ming said that this is a puppet sword, which can only be splashed with blood for five steps, and the two floating corpses are not the sword of the Son of Heaven.

So he abandoned the sword and did not learn, and devoted himself to pondering the emperor's technique. You have to become a qualified prince first, and then think about being a qualified emperor.

conscientious and sleepless, so I came to this day and faced ...... It is a shattered empire.

Patrolling the city defense during the day, correcting and correcting at night, when the Rong people came over, he was the first to stand on the head of the city and fought a bloody battle with the Rong people.

Relying on this momentum of squeezing his flesh and blood dry, he held Chang'an City, but how long could he hold on?

On the third watch, even the eunuch who held the lamp couldn't help yawning, and Li Letian was still correcting the twists.

In today's Chang'an, the most important thing is grain and grass. Many people are already hungry, and some wealthy families still have some food hidden in their hands. We have to find a way to dig up this grain.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

Suddenly, there was a violent cough, and Li Letian covered his mouth with Xiupa, coughing up a burst of blood.

The palm lamp eunuch behind him changed his face.
