Chapter 856

Liu Bei was silent for a moment and said, "If we can all see this, the Rong clan may not be able to see through it. Could it be that they have other arrangements?"

If someone else had put forward an idea, Liu Bei might not have said so. The key is Zhang Sanye, the third master's style of doing things, he still knows a thing or two.

"Will the Rong people not fight Chang'an, but will choose to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains. The defense of other cities is not as strong as Chang'an. Shi Wengong leaned over and said.

Liu Bei nodded: "That makes sense." ”

Then the crowd began to talk about it. If the Rong temporarily abandon Chang'an and choose to occupy the hinterland of the empire, how will the situation change?

Speaking of which, it is also a matter of affecting the whole body, and the situation is complicated, and no one can see through it now.

"The authorities are obsessed with bystanders. What the third brother said may not be unreasonable. Guan Yu said: "In any case, in this battle, the alliance of the princes will definitely be defeated." ”

It is not clear what the future situation will look like, and this is the only thing that can be determined at present. Although everyone did not have any good feelings towards the alliance of princes, in such a situation, they did not want the alliance to be defeated so badly.

Everyone fell silent, and everyone frowned and pondered. Let's see if there is a way to help the coalition break the game. After a while, Guan Yu broke the silence and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the coalition forces to have a chance of winning. There is nothing left to do on the battlefield. ”

Everyone understands the meaning of Guan Yu's words, since there is nothing to do about the situation here, if you want to break the situation, you can only take advantage of the situation.

Where to borrow from?

Guan Yu pointed his finger to the northwest, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth: "Chang'an." ”

"But will Chang'an Li Letian send troops to support the coalition forces?" asked Liu Bei.

The battle has continued until now, and Chang'an City is also poor and short of food. Li Letian's determination to defend the city is firm, but he may not have the courage to take the initiative to fight against the Rong people.

Guan Yu got up and stood up straight, looked at the sky in the distance, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Chang'an to have a look." ”

Five hundred men turned on their horses and marched in a northwestern direction. The current situation is changing rapidly, and 500 people are lost in this chaos, in fact, nothing can be changed.

It didn't take a day to come to Chang'an City. At present, he can't get close to Chang'an City, which is surrounded by Rong tribes on all sides.

Although they divided their forces to besiege the alliance of the princes, the Rong people still had a lot of men and horses at the foot of Chang'an.

If you can't get close to Chang'an City, you can't inform Chang'an City of the current situation. Guan Yu's plan is also useless.

Here, everyone doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, there are Rong people all around, if you leak your whereabouts, you will inevitably be besieged by the Rong people.

Guan Yu sighed helplessly: "Choose a place to camp, and wait and see how the situation here develops." ”

With that, he glanced in the direction of Chang'an. Although Chang'an City is besieged, the people in Chang'an will not be ignorant of the situation outside. Whether or not he is willing to send troops depends on how Li Letian chooses.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, everyone evacuated the dangerous place and hid in the nearby mountains and forests.

Chang'an City has indeed suffered for a long time, and both the military and civilians in the city are like ants on a hot pot.

The sun sets in the west mountains, and the stars hang in the four fields.

Li Letian climbed to the top of the city at this time, and when he appeared, the people and men guarding the city got up and stood up.

Chang'an City has survived round after round of strong attacks by the Rong people, and has been able to support it until now, and has not been broken by the Rong people. Everyone knew in their hearts that if Li Letian didn't have his mind, he would never be able to do this.

Now everyone is exhausted, but they are convinced by Li Letian. In the past, although Li Letian sat on the dragon chair, he was at the mercy of the ministers, and everyone didn't take him very seriously. Until now, the people in Chang'an City really regard him as the Son of Heaven.

Li Letian held up one of the injured soldiers and said, "You can rest well, and the safety of Chang'an City will be entrusted to you." ”

The wounded soldier was grateful, wiped away his tears, and stammered, "Your Majesty......"

Li Letian patted him on the shoulder, took Ma Chao, and continued to patrol the city ahead.

The two stood on the top of the city, climbed high and looked into the distance, only to see the Rong camp stretching one after another.

Li Letian put his hands behind him and said slowly: "The Rong clan has not attacked the city for a long time. ”

"There were fourteen days. Ma Chao replied.

"In your opinion, how long can Chang'an City hold out?"

"With Your Majesty in charge, the army and the people are united, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Rong people. After such a long time, Ma Chao is no longer ignorant of the way of speaking in officialdom.

Li Letian smiled bitterly and waved his hand weakly: "Until now, I can't hear a word of truth from you." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the day Chang'an City is broken, it is when Ma Chao dies, and Ma Meng swears to live and die with Chang'an City. ”

Li Letian sighed: "If you don't think about winning, you should think about defeat first." Have you ever thought about what to do in the future after the destruction of Chang'an City? ”

Without waiting for Ma Mengqi to speak, Li Letian said to himself: "I am going to die anyway, I escaped once last time, and I don't want to escape again this time." In any case, I want to leave some dignity for the Li family. ”

"Your Majesty ......"

Li Letian suddenly turned around and interrupted Ma Chao's words: "I can die, but you can't die." You are a rare hero in the world, and you should have done something in this world to make the world remember your name. However, as soon as he was born, he encountered this situation, and he had nowhere to show his skills. Promise me, after the city of Chang'an is broken, you will not die, keep your life, and do some more things. ”

Ma Chao's eyes were red, and he bowed to the ground.

"At this time, the Holy Decree. Li Letian straightened his face.

"Obey. ”

Li Letian patted him on the shoulder, he ascended the throne and sat in the palace for some time, but if it really said that the monarch and the minister were single-minded, it was also Ma Mengqi.

Most emperors are lonely, but because of a Ma Mengqi, he is not too lonely. In this way, it can be regarded as a blessing.

"Alright, alright, that's just the worst arrangement. It's not the worst yet. Li Letian said: "How is the coalition army now?"

"The Rong people are besieging on all sides, and the stalemate has been for seven or eight days. Ma Chao said: "I probably won't be able to hold on for a few days?"

Although trapped in Chang'an, Li Letian will not be ignorant of the situation outside. The Rong people postponed the attack on Chang'an, which was to free up their strength to attack the coalition camp.

Once the coalition camp was breached, Chang'an City really fell to the point of isolation.

"100,000 coalition troops, it's scary to say it. But without the strength of a war with the Rong people, the empire fell into this situation, and my generation was all sinners. Li Letian sighed: "What's going on in Liangzhou?"

"At present, there is no news about Liangzhou, and there may be no movement. ”

"Cheng Dalei is really patient. Standing on the sidelines, the fisherman profited, who would have thought that he would have such a deep scheming. I really underestimated Cheng Dalei. Li Letian shook his head: "In your opinion, if we go out of the city and cooperate with the coalition army, what will happen if we attack the rear of the Rong clan?"
