Li Junmingjin withdrew his troops, and from the launch of the attack to the collection of troops, it took about an hour or so, leaving only the corpses in one place and the building car that was still burning.

And as Li Yi expected, because of the burning of the building car, the morale of the soldiers was a little low, although it was not too serious.

"Fengxian and Gongzhi, you two will each lead 50,000 troops to the north gate and the south gate to prepare to besiege the city! Also, be sure to be aware of possible night attacks by the enemy, and remember to boost morale once you set up camp. Li Yi admonished.

"Please rest assured!" Lu Bu and Gao Shun responded at the same time.

"Well, the rest of the people, who are responsible for pacifying the soldiers while preparing to cook and rest." Li Yi waved his hand and smiled, and between his words, he didn't see any loss at all.

"No!"

After everyone left, Lu Wen asked with some uncertainty, "Lord, aren't you really disappointed?" ”

"How is that possible? I was confident in the car. Li Yi smiled helplessly, "But the matter has come to this, even if you are disappointed, what can you do?" It will only affect the morale of the troops. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yi's expression suddenly became serious, "Lingqi, you have to remember that as a general, you must be happy and angry, because only in this way will you not affect the entire army because of your mood." ”

"Subordinates remember!" Lu Wen hurriedly replied when she heard this.

"Well, come with me to inspect the military heart." Li Yi nodded, then left a sentence and walked out, seeing this, Lu Wen hurriedly followed.

On the other side, in Chang'an City.

Seeing that Li Jun had completely retreated into the camp, and at the same time transported back the siege equipment such as the well, Ma Chao believed that Li Yi had really collected his troops so simply.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! In the first battle, he gave the Li thief a dismount! Bao Zhu and the others congratulated loudly.

It's just that in this regard, Ma Chao's face didn't have any smugness, just looked at Li Jun in the city and was silent. It wasn't until he saw that Li Jun began to divide his troops that he said lightly, "Shu Tao and Ji Luo, you two go to guard the south and north cities, Ziping and Zhong Yi are the two of you, no matter how the enemy lures the enemy to show weakness, you are absolutely not allowed to attack!" ”

"No!" The four of them answered loudly.

"As for this, Zhong Wu is still in charge, and Ci Zeng is here to assist. The rest of you, go down and rest. After Ma Chao finished speaking, he took Wang Yi and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty, don't you stay more and observe?" Han Qian looked at Ma Chao in some surprise when he heard this.

"No need, Li Yi won't attack the city again today." Ma Chao said without looking back, and his feet didn't stop at all, and after a while, he and Wang Yi completely disappeared on the city wall.

Seeing this, Han Qian, Bao Chu and the others looked at each other, but they didn't come up with a reason for thinking about it for a long time. But now that Ma Chao has given the order, they can only shake their heads and go back to the city.

"Your Majesty, is it true that Li Yi will not attack the city again? It's still early today. Wang Yi followed behind Ma Chao for a while, and finally couldn't help asking.

"No, if Li Yi plans to continue to attack the city, he won't retreat just now." Ma Chao said lightly, "The huge siege equipment was obviously developed by Li Yi, but after being destroyed by our army, he was able to withdraw his troops immediately, so as not to cause greater losses." Based on this alone, Li Yi can live up to his reputation. ”

Ask yourself, if it were Ma Chao himself, he would definitely not be able to bear this kind of setback. Instead of withdrawing troops, they will invest more troops to try to regain the lost face in the siege battle. On the contrary, Li Yi withdrew his troops as if he had nothing to do, as if the building car was no different from those ordinary siege equipment such as the destroyed ladder truck, and he made the most correct decision very easily.

Judging the situation, although all the generals know such a sentence, but how many people can do it?

Of course, Ma Chao's evaluation of Li Yi is not only because of this, but more importantly, he felt Li Yi's strong self-confidence from Li Jun's recruitment. Although the building car was burned down, and although Li Yi gave the order to withdraw the troops, the soldiers of Li Jun did not hesitate or panic at all. This is what Ma Chao is most shocked and worried about.

Because a force that can truly enforce orders and prohibitions is often very terrifying in combat. Although the previous field battles had made Ma Chao feel the strength of the Li army, today, through another form, he once again realized the gap between his own troops and the Li army.

"......I see," Zhang Ning nodded, then looked at Ma Chao with a chuckle and said, "Meng Qi, you are doing well, it seems that you are indeed a lot more mature......

"That way, I'm relieved. After all, I really don't know much about the affairs of the soldiers, and I really don't have any talent in this area~" Zhang Ning looked at Ma Chao, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him and said softly, "Now, the queen mother can only rely on you to resist Li Zikang's army." ”

"Please rest assured! Erchen swore that he would not let that Li Yi break through Chang'an! Hearing Zhang Ning's words, Ma Chao suddenly said excitedly, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

The next day, Li Yi launched another attack on Chang'an City. After a day of repairs, the impact of yesterday's destruction of the building car has long since disappeared completely. However, the war obviously could not be so smooth, although the officers and men of the three armies worked very hard, but where was Chang'an City so easy to capture?

"Consume it slowly......" Li Yi said lightly. Chang'an is not easy to fight, he already knew it, but this situation at this time is completely within the scope of his imagination.

Winter went to spring, Gao Shun's son Gao Gao, under the witness of Sima Hui and others, performed a crown salute and took the word Dequan.

"Dequan...... Tsk, this word sounds pretty good~ I will also have a crown ceremony next year, I hope to have a good word......" Guan Ping looked at Gao Shun and said enviously.

"What's so good? I've been hoping that my lord will help me write in person. Gundam sighed with some regret when he heard this.

"That's true, after the lord captures Chang'an, I have to go to my father and ask him to help me talk to the lord." Guan Ping muttered movingly when he heard this.

With Li Yi's help in starting the words, it is obviously one of the greatest honors under Li Yi's command, because it means that Li Yi has recognized your merits and loyalty. And to help the younger generations pick up words, although this is not the case, but if there is not enough talent, Li Yi will not do it. Well...... Perhaps the only one that is more special is Lu Wen, she was just born, and Li Yi helped her pick up the words.

"I'm afraid it may not be too late, Chang'an is not easy to fight, otherwise the lord doesn't need to prepare for so long." Gundam shook his head when he heard this.

"yes, maybe it's going to take three or four years." Guan Ping nodded in agreement, and then sighed with emotion, "More than 400,000 troops, completely abandon other territories to defend Chang'an, Zhang Ning's demon woman is full of courage, not to mention anything else." ”

"yes, I wouldn't dare do that anyway." Gundam nodded his head repeatedly.

During this time, the students of the entire Avenue Academy privately did not know how many times they had discussed this matter, and even sometimes, those masters would use this matter as a topic to test everyone in the school.

In their discussions, it was unanimously determined that if Zhang Ning lost Chang'an, then Jing Zhaoyin, Youfufeng, and even the entire Liangzhou would not be able to resist Li Yi's iron cavalry. At the same time, he also agreed that as long as Zhang Ning could hold Chang'an, even if Liangzhou, Youfufeng and other places were lost, after Li Yi withdrew his troops, he could quickly recapture them. It's just that although they think so, but let them concentrate all their forces in Chang'an to defend it, but no one dares to do it at all. Because this kind of behavior is so crazy, so crazy that they don't even dare to think about it.

A little behind the two, two young men listened to the conversation between the two of them, interjecting from time to time. These two people are also the crown ceremony just performed this year, one is named Jia Kui, and the other is named Wang Cang.

Wang Cang is the son of the Wang family in Shanyang, compared to Jia Kui, the Wang family is much more prominent, Wang Cang's father is He Jin's long history, and his grandfather Wang Chang is the commonplace during the period of Emperor Xiaoling. After following Dong Zhuo to move west to Chang'an, because he felt that the situation in Chang'an was chaotic, and he heard about the reputation of Dadao College, he rushed to Bingzhou alone, and entered Dadao College with his talent.

Compared with Wang Cang, Jia Kui is a little miserable. He is a son of the Jia family in Hedong, although he was also a famous family in the past, but by his generation he has been completely down. Even sometimes in the winter, he didn't even have a pair of cotton pants.

However, after Li Yi captured Hedong, everything changed, and with his own intelligence, he entered the Hedong branch of the Great Dao Academy to study, and was transferred to the main academy soon after. Since then, the Jia family has never worried about life, because all the children who enter the main hospital can receive a large amount of subsidies or rewards for their families.

"Dequan, why don't we go to the Zuixian Building in front of you for a drink to celebrate your crown ceremony, how about you step into your official career?" Halfway through, Guan Ping suddenly pointed to a restaurant not far away and proposed.

Hearing this, Gao Gao agreed directly without thinking about it, and Wang Cang and Jia Kui on the side naturally did not disagree.

Just at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of the four people. When I turned my head, I saw a man galloping on his horse.

"It is estimated that it is the exploration horse of the shadow department, so urgent...... There may be some urgent military situation......" Wang Cang said in a deep voice.

"Well, then you should go back quickly, although you have just come out, maybe there is a place where you need to be used? As for this meal, let's remember it next time. Guan Ping nodded and said, with a hint of envy in his tone.

The three Gundam didn't say anything about this, just nodded and quickly walked towards their respective homes.

Although Gao Dar has not yet officially debuted, Wang Cang and Jia Kui are only low-level officials. But as students from the main academy of Dao College, and with the certification of Sima Hui and others, they naturally cannot be compared with ordinary students. It's like Xu Shu and others in the past, the promotion speed is called a fast one.

Maybe they wanted to come to something, but as soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they received Xun Yu's order to come to the conference hall immediately. When they arrived in the conference hall, they saw Xun Yu and the others already waiting in the hall, their expressions solemn, obviously something big had happened.

"Dequan, Liang Dao, Zhongxuan, you are here." Xun Yu saw the three of them say hello, and then went straight to the point, "According to the news from the Shadow Department, there has been a lot of movement in the Saiwai Grassland recently, and many big tribes are in contact with each other, and it seems that they are plotting something. ”

"What?!" When the three Gundam heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Li Yi has never given up the investigation of the outside of the Saiwai, but because of the civil strife of the Xianbei people, it is naturally impossible to invest the same as before. And this time, if it weren't for the fact that the movements were too frequent, the people of the shadow department would not have found out at all.

"I don't know what they're plotting, but it's always a good idea to be careful! Now that the lord is leading the army to Chang'an, there must be no mistakes in the territory! Guo Jia said in a deep voice on the side.

"No!" Hearing this, Gao Shun and the three of them responded respectfully, and then looked at the two with serious expressions.

Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Xun Yu and the others nodded, obviously very satisfied with the appearance of the three of them in danger. Then, I heard Xun Yu say in a deep voice, "Dequan, Liang Dao, you two will leave for Shuofang immediately, Zhong Xuan, you will take this letter to Hanoi and hand it over to Tong Fujun, and let Gongming go to Wushuang Kingdom with you." ”

"I don't know what the enemy is trying to do, but there must be no accident in the north! As soon as you take up your posts, you should reorganize your troops and strengthen your defenses. And I'll also inform the counties to be ready to support at any time. Also, those Hu people in the local area have been sinicized for many years, and they must not be allowed to have problems! Xun Yu looked at the three of them and said with a serious expression.

"No!"

"Remember, when you get over there, you must not be arrogant, you have to ask Wang Fujun and Zhang Guoxiang about everything......" Xun Yu was obviously a little worried about them, and kept admonishing. But it's no wonder that although the three of them are all excellent students of Dao Academy, they are too young after all. To be honest, if it weren't for Li Yi taking most of the people to Chang'an this time, this kind of task would obviously not be the turn of the three of them.

"Please don't worry, Xun Beijia and Guo Sima, the three of us will definitely not live up to the trust of the two!" The three of them said loudly.

"Well, then let's go at once, I've got you guys ready." Xun Yu nodded and said. Hearing this, the three of them didn't say much, and immediately followed the soldiers and left.

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh and said, "I knew that the lord's attack on Chang'an would definitely not be so smooth." ”

"There's no way, who made the lord's strength too strong? There are so many ambitious people in the world. Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "I actually don't worry much about the Xianbei people, after all, they are not good at attacking cities, but Yuan Benchu in Jizhou is ......."

"Humph! How dare they?! Xun Yu said coldly when he heard this, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

"It's better to take precautions early to ......," Guo Jia said lightly.
