Chapter 872

Lu Junyi knelt down to thank him, and when he returned to the camp, the palace had already sent the reward.

It was another prostration, and then he received the reward. The group of people who came out of Liangzhou with Lu Junyi were all happy at the moment.

"Second Brother Lu has made a great contribution today, I will go to ask for a jar of good wine, and everyone will celebrate. ”

Everyone defended the city day by day, and they were all exhausted. Seeing that Lu Junyi was made a general, and His Majesty the Emperor personally gave a reward, everyone cheered up.

Lu Junyi waved his hand and said, "It is important for the brothers to defend the city, send this jade belt to the pawnshop in the city, and see if you can exchange it for fifty taels of silver and exchange some grain and rice with the brothers." ”

"Second brother, is it just rewarded by His Majesty?"

Lu Junyi shook his head: "My stomach is tight." ”

Chang'an City has been besieged for several months, and the people in the city have been hungry, even in the military camp, there is a shortage of food and clothing.

The grain and grass in Chang'an City are uniformly allocated, which is very different from that of the Rong people. All the grain and grass are naturally supplied to Ma Chao first, and then Luo Yi belongs...... As for Lu Junyi's group, in fact, after Bailisheng was assassinated, they had already lost their position. And Lu Junyi doesn't understand or disdain to befriend the grain official. They belong to Grandma and don't hurt, Grandma doesn't love that group, and the grain and grass allocated to them are naturally very small.

It's not a good thing to be a general. Lu Junyi is one of the few people who understands, and he can already see that Chang'an City is in danger, and it will be breached in the past few days.

But what about after the city was destroyed......

Last time, Li Letian dispatched troops and used Lu Junyi as bait, which chilled Lu Junyi's heart. He is loyal to Bailisheng, not necessarily loyal to the empire, and will not be buried for this dying court.

This was Lu Junyi's own idea, and he didn't tell anyone. But in the past few days, he has been silent, and he has begun to think of a way out for his gang.

At this moment, the Luo family's father and son got together and were also discussing.

"My son, in your opinion, how long can Chang'an stay?" Luo Yi asked.

Luo Cheng frowned and pondered, and sighed: "If you want to defeat the Rong clan, you must take the initiative to attack before you have a chance to survive." If you keep it like this, sooner or later the enemy will break the city. ”

Luo Yi nodded: "How many days can you keep?"

The towers launched by the Rong people today are really scary, once the number reaches a certain point, the Rong people are condescending, and they can naturally open an area on the city wall, and Chang'an City will undoubtedly be broken.

Luo Cheng gritted his teeth: "If you want to defend the city, next time you are afraid that you will have to think of the tower of the Rong people, and only by restricting the advance of the enemy's tower can you hold Chang'an City." ”

"It's hard. Luo Yi sighed: "The Rong clan has issued an order to slaughter the city, if the city gate is not opened for half a month, half of the city will be slaughtered, and if the city gate is not opened in January, the city will be slaughtered." For Chang'an City, the Rong people are bound to win. We are the generals who defend the city, once Chang'an City is forced, you and my father and son are afraid that they will end up dead without a place to be buried. ”

Luo Cheng frowned, and said viciously: "The Rong clan is also crazy, I am determined to defend the city, and they may not be able to obtain Chang'an City." ”

After saying that, Luo Cheng suddenly sighed again: "But Your Majesty is not allowed to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Rong clan, and it is difficult to break the Rong clan." ”

"That's right, when today's son is indeed good at defending the city, but if you want to sit in the world, you need to have the courage to swallow the world. At this point, the Son of Heaven may not be a Ming Jun. ”

Luo Cheng is not a fool, listening to the meaning of his father's words, he was suddenly stunned, and said slowly: "Does my father have other thoughts?"

Luo Yi said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord to serve, Your Majesty is not a Daoming monarch, you and I father and son have the ability, why not vote for the master." ”

Hearing this, Luo Cheng was startled, although he knew that there were only two people in the house, he still looked left and right, and finally said: "Father said cautiously, after the city of Chang'an was broken, my father and son rushed to the death, and they may not be able to break through." It's just that the world is so big, although there are princes from all walks of life, but I don't know what family my father wants to vote for? I heard that Cheng Dalei in Liangzhou is a hero?"

Luo Yi shook his head: "Cheng Dalei is just a thief, how can he become a big deal?"

"Jiangnan Li Xing sits in the rich land of Yangzhou, with millions of soldiers, or is he the master of the world in the future?"

"Li Xing takes advantage of the terrain, but he is wise and wise, and he has no image of an emperor. ”

"The King of the East China Sea, it is said to be ......"

"Cheng'er, why do you and my father and son want to go far and near?" Luo Yi.

Luo Cheng was stunned, and then he was startled and sat down on the chair in fright.

He finally understood the meaning of Luo Yi's words, he didn't want to betray Li Letian, but to ...... Treason.

......

Since the Rong clan's order to slaughter the city reached Chang'an, even Luo Cheng and Luo Yi's father and son have been like this, not to mention the ordinary people in the city.

A lot of people were panicked.

Needless to say, the lives of the people at the bottom are a tragic word in a word. Now he is driven by the imperial court to defend the city, digging earth and transporting stones, relying on daily hard work in exchange for a meager ration. If he did die on the battlefield, he would be lucky enough to receive a pension and barely earn some surplus food for his family.

For them, it doesn't matter who is the master of Chang'an City, anyway, the days are just as miserable. However, it is these people who are the most loyal to the Empire.

But some wealthy families and wealthy families don't think so. They were born with fine clothes and food, charcoal in winter, ice in summer, and warm quilts in the house. The only purpose of their existence is to continue this wealth, and their ancestors are endless.

When the Rong people attacked, they suffered, of course, they were much stronger than the people at the bottom, and they had rations every day.

The surplus grain of the house was hidden everywhere so that it would not be taken away by the imperial court. There are also some wealthy families who want to report to the Rong clan in exchange for the continuation of their own wealth.

Fortunately, Li Letian is still quite experienced in dealing with these people, and when the Righteous Sect attacked the city, he had already fought against these people.

It is nothing more than killing a group, punishing a group, appeasing a group, and if the situation is serious, then killing another group among the living.

On a certain day when the Rong people stopped attacking the city, Li Letian changed into civilian clothes, and there were several fish and dragon guards around him to protect and inspect the city defense.

Chang'an City used to be the first city in the world, where merchants from all over the world gathered, bringing rare goods from all over the world. In Chang'an City, there are the most beautiful women in the world, the richest chivalrous knights, the most literary poets, and the most rare treasures...... But in just half a year, the city is bustling.

Li Letian walked by, only to see the city full of desolation, it can be said that every family has crying, and every household has sad songs. There are those who sell their children and daughters with straw labels, there are those who sell themselves as slaves, and there are those who hold the bones of their relatives and walk everywhere, but there is no place to bury their bones.

In the streets and alleys, people often burn paper money, and soot rises like a bleak cloud.

Li Letian covered his mouth and nose and coughed violently.

He suddenly remembered one thing: today is Qingming.
