Li Daobu and Guo Yanbu fought fiercely for a day, but they still didn't win or lose.

Seeing this situation, Li Dao and Guo Yan both collected their troops and prepared to fight again in Japan.

The two armies repaired overnight, and Li Dao and Guo Yan raised their troops to fight again, but the difference in strength between the two sides was not large, and the two armies were finally evenly divided.

In this way, the battle lasted for more than a month, and the two armies suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ding immediately came to Guo Yan's camp and said: "General Guo, this Li Dao has outstanding strength, and it may be difficult for us to distinguish the winner if we continue to fight like this!" ”

"General Yang, there is no way to do it, after all, Li Dao has annexed General Fan's troops."

"General Guo, in my opinion, we shouldn't fight to the death with Li Dao."

"Oh? What does General Yang mean by this? ”

"General Guo, I mean that this Li Dao is domineering when he has the Son of Heaven in his hands, why don't we rob the Son of Heaven and take a salary from the bottom of the kettle."

"General Yang, this Son of Heaven is in Chang'an City, how did we rob the Son of Heaven?"

"General Guo, I have my own clever plan, it depends on whether you are willing to do it."

", why don't you do it, I just want to let Li Dao sweep the floor with majesty."

"General Guo, then please give me three days, and in three days, you can see the Son of Heaven."

"Okay, I'll give you three days."

The plan was decided, and Guo Yan immediately ordered the camp to be closed for repairs.

While the army was repairing, Yang Ding began to plan to rob the Son of Heaven.

But before Yang Ding could implement it, the plan was leaked.

When Li Wei learned that Yang Ding was plotting to rob the Son of Heaven, he said to himself in fear: "Fortunately, I knew in advance, if the Son of Heaven is robbed by Guo Yan and Yang Ding, then my hard-won status will disappear in a blink of an eye." ”

After speaking, Li Dao hurriedly summoned his nephew Li Li and asked him to send the Son of Heaven to his military camp first.

After that, Nei Yingju sent by Yang Ding to the palace was captured by Li Wei.

After taking Yang Ding's internal response, Li Wei, who was already fearless, immediately led his troops out of the city and came to Guo Yan's camp to call for battle.

After Guo Yan, who was in the camp tent, learned that Li Dao had gone out of the city to call for battle, he immediately gathered a large army and went out of the camp to form a formation.

Seeing that Guo Yan and Yang Ding had come out, Li Wei said to them arrogantly: "Guo Yan, Yang Ding, your plan to kidnap the Son of Heaven has been discovered by me, and the Son of Heaven has now come to my camp, if you have any other tricks, just use them!" ”

When he heard this, Guo Yan looked at Yang Ding beside him suspiciously, because he felt that Yang Ding might have betrayed him.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Guo Yan's eyes, Yang Ding hurriedly defended himself.

After listening to Yang Ding's defense, Guo Yan temporarily believed it, because he still needed Yang Ding's soldiers and horses.

Immediately after, Guo Yan responded to Li Dao.

"Li Dao, don't be complacent, since the Son of Heaven has been robbed by you, then let's see the real chapter under our hands!"

After saying that, Guo Yan ordered a surprise attack.

Seeing that Guo Yan started to fight without saying a word, Li Wei was not afraid, and he also ordered a surprise attack.

The two armies fought fiercely again, but the final result was the same withdrawal.

In desperation, Guo Yan no longer attacked, and he planned to spend it outside Chang'an City.

Li Wei saw that Guo Yan neither attacked nor evacuated, so he immediately left a team of men and horses to sit at the city gate and ignored it.

The two armies were in a stalemate for another month or so, and Chang'an City ran out of food.

When Li Wei learned that Chang'an City was about to run out of food, he thought that Li Ru, who came to report the news, was joking.

But when Li Ru repeatedly told Chang'an that it was close to running out of food, Li Wei immediately stepped forward and grabbed Li Ru's collar and said, "Li Ru, why did you only tell me today that Chang'an was about to run out of food?" ”

Li Ru replied unhurriedly when he saw Li Dao with a hideous face: "Lord, our food was quite sufficient, but since the war with Guo Yan, our army's food has been consumed exponentially, coupled with the impact of drought and the migration of the people, Chang'an City is now a ruined city, if we don't leave, it will not be the people who will starve to death but the soldiers of our army." ”

"Withdraw? Now that Guo Yanbu is outside the city, if I evacuate unprepared, won't I be sent to the door as a target? ”

"My lord, the minister doesn't know what to say or not."

"Say it! I'm listening. ”

"Lord, for today's plan, only reconciliation with Guo Yan is the only way out, if I expect it to be good, the situation of Guo Yan's department should be more serious than ours, they must be staying outside the city to find an opportunity to break through the city and seize food, but as everyone knows, Chang'an City is also close to the situation of running out of food."

When he heard this, Li Dao replied, "Let me think about this matter again. ”

"Lord, there is not much time to squander now, the food in Chang'an can last less than ten days at most, this food is just enough for us to move east, if it is a little later, the soldiers will starve to death, and at that time, the situation will become out of control."

"Forget it, Wen You, you go out of the city now and tell Guo Yan that I want to reconcile with him."

"Your Ministers obey."

After receiving the order, Li Ru soon left the city and came to the outside of Guo Yan's military camp.

When Guo Yan learned that Li Ru was coming, he was very puzzled and met Li Ru.

When Li Ru saw Guo Yan, he immediately saluted and said, "Li Ru pays a visit to General Guo. ”

"Student, why are you here today?"

"General Guo, I came today to reconcile the two families."

"Reconciliation? Is the student kidding me? ”

"Definitely! I am here both for reconciliation and for General Guo's life. ”

"My life? Why, Wen Xiansheng changed his career to become an assassin? ”

"General Guo, I'm not joking, if it's not bad as I expected, General Guo's camp must be running out of food!"

Hearing this suddenly, Guo Yan replied in shock: "Yang Ding told you?" ”

"It's not Yang Ding, but there is almost no food in Chang'an City, if General Guo and my lord continue to stalemate like this, then it will be both of us who will be damaged by then."

"Chang'an will also run out of food? Wen Xiansheng shouldn't want to scold me! ”

"General Guo, I'm telling you now that Chang'an has no food, what can I tell you? Today's Chang'an is really about to run out of food. ”

Seeing that Li Ru's expression didn't look like a fake, Guo Yan suddenly thought to himself: "If Chang'an really has no food, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for me and Yang Ding to continue to nest here, once the lack of food in the army causes a mutiny, I may die without Li Dao's action." ’

Thinking of this, Guo Yan immediately replied: "Wen Xiansheng, as the so-called words are unfounded, you didn't come as a lobbyist for Li Dao, then you go back and tell Li Dao that I want him to exchange protons with me to believe him." ”

Seeing that Guo Yan finally relented, Li Ru agreed without hesitation.

After returning to the city, Li Ru quickly met with Li Dao and told him Guo Yan's conditions.

After listening to Guo Yan's conditions, Li Dao agreed after thinking hard, but Li Dao's wife was very unhappy when she learned about it.

In order to reach a settlement, Li Dao told Li Ru to ask him to reply to Guo Yan, saying that he would exchange his daughter for it.

Soon after Li Ru received the order, he went out of the city to meet Guo Yan and conveyed Li Wei's conditions to him.

Guo Yan thought about it and finally agreed.

Later, as Li Dao and Guo Yan reached a hostage exchange, the two of them immediately prepared to move the capital back to Luoyang.
