30. Possibly
It's no wonder that Dong Zhuo will scoff at it, the rebels are not good at attacking fortifications, and the siege of the city is already yielding, at this time, they still have a large army besieging Chencang City, which is simply self-defeating, Dong Zhuo has never looked down on these defeated generals, and immediately showed contempt after hearing the siege of the rebels.

"Maybe the kingdom, Han Sui and the others are fighting the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements!"
Li Ru smiled and speculated on the thoughts of the rebels in Liangzhou, and he continued:
"The rebels are not good at attacking the city, even Chen Cang, which Xu Sima led the troops to guard, can't take it, and now Huangfu Song led the army to Sanfu, even if the rebels are rampant, they don't dare to turn around and fight other cities guarded by the army, so there is no other good strategy except to brake quietly and besiege the city!"
"Hmm" Dong Zhuo nodded, Li Ru's insightful analysis of human feelings was indeed to the point, but when it came to Xu Rong under his command, Dong Zhuo's mind suddenly appeared that this Liaodong military Han stood still in the face of the rebel ant army attacking the city, and commanded the figure of dispatching troops and dispatching generals, and he said arrogantly:
"Xu Rong has been fighting with me for many years, and he has learned military affairs, this time he was sent to rescue Chen Cang, as long as the defenders of Chen Cang do not hinder him, Chen Cang will definitely be impregnable, and the kingdom of Liang and Han Sui will definitely not be able to capture the city!"

With the arrival of the cold winter of Zhongping in the fifth year, the chaos and military disasters in various parts of the world finally stabilized temporarily, and the Yellow Turban Son of Heaven in Yizhou swirled up and disappeared, and was not yet in winter by Yizhou Jia Long led the people and the powerful tribe to destroy it, and the country of abundance was about to usher in its first Yizhou pastor - Liu Yan.
Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and the center of the imperial court has no energy to deal with the rebels and thieves who are swarming in various places, so the request of Liu Yanzhi, the quasi-Taichang Liu Yanzhi, re-restored the system of state pastor, and because the state pastor is high and powerful, and the beginning of the country to adopt the "low weight, size system" of the history of the thorn system, so in addition to Yuzhou, Youzhou, Yizhou three states still retain the history of the thorn system, the selected state pastor is mostly the royal family, after the minister, such as Liu Yu of Youzhou Mu, he is also a royal family.
And Gongsun Zhan, who has been urging the army, inspired the soldiers, and chased all the way after defeating the Youzhou rebels, but because of the light soldiers, they were surrounded by the cavalry of Wuhuan in Guanzi City, although they desperately defended but could not resist hunger, and finally the food was exhausted, most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the counterinsurgency war in Youzhou was once again confusing. On the other hand, on Sanfu's side, although the imperial court and the rebels gathered in a large number of soldiers and horses, there was no fierce battle like Youzhou for a long time, but there was a strange calm of confrontation between the two sides.
The Liangzhou coalition army, which decided to besiege Chencang City, dug ravines outside the city, and the ravines dug between the battalions opened up to each other, turning into a long trench around the outside of Chencang City, cutting off the connection between the inside and outside of the city. In order to prevent it from being filled with snow, the kingdom ordered that the snow must be cleared in time between the various armies, posing as if Chen Cangcheng was trapped.
On the occasion of this snow-capped and boundless wax moon, more than a dozen horsemen stepped on the snow and climbed the hill northwest of Chencang City, looking at the snow-shrouded Chencang City and the company camp that had melted into the snow from a distance.
These people are naturally Yan Xing, Li Biao, Zhao Hong and others, they took some guards to take advantage of the gap between the snow to come here, leaving more than a dozen guards to take shelter from the wind at the bottom of the mountain, the three of them carried bows and arrows from the gentle slope to the northwest hill, looking at the white boundless land, the heroic Li Biao poured a sip of liquor into his mouth, and shouted:
"In the past, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, listened to Han Xin's plan, repaired the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark. It was from this Chencang Road all the way to the north, and also set the three Qin, destroyed Zhang Han, Sima Xin and others, and then pointed at Pengcheng, sent a letter to the east of the valley to fight for the world, and the fierce generals of the good city under his command gathered, and countless heroes worked hard to serve their lives, and made military merits to win the marquis of ten thousand households at this time! In life, you have to hold a three-foot sword and fight with the heroes of the world, this is really the first pleasure! ”
Li Biao's shouting was a sound that moved the four fields, but unfortunately the road was covered by heavy snow at the moment, and no one else could hear it, which was amazing for his pride and ambition. On the contrary, Zhao Hong, who wrapped himself tightly in the mink fur, exhaled a breath of white air, and rubbed his hands vigorously under the mink fur, he has felt the wind and cold in the past few days, and he is not completely well, and retorted in a somewhat strange voice:
"It's a pity that even if the King of Han has the ambition to conquer the world, and he has a large number of elite soldiers and good generals, it is inevitable that he will be defeated in Pengcheng, and he will end up abandoning his wife and children and fleeing in a hurry."
Hearing the implied complaint in Zhao Hong's tone, Li Biao was silent. The city of Dun has deeply dampened the spirit of everyone, perhaps the upper class has the ambition to besiege the city and send reinforcements and invade Chang'an, but for the soldiers at the bottom, the sorrow of homesickness and resisting the severe cold is a personal thing, the cold weather since the beginning of winter has made the coalition army lose a lot of people and horses, and the morale of the soldiers at the bottom has been falling, and they have begun to look westward, looking forward to returning to their hometown in Liangzhou.
On weekdays, Yan Xing would make a voice to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, but now looking at the snow-covered land, thinking of his relatives in Yunwu City, he himself fell into memories:
"Big brother, hurry up and accompany Wan'er to enjoy the snow, I heard that the plum blossoms in Beiyuan are blooming, Wan'er wants to go and see!"
Yan Wan was dressed in a snow-white fox fur, just like a fairy in the snow, because she had just secretly drunk the wine that Yan Xing had just warmed in the hall, two blushes soon flew on her cheeks, she forced her composure, reached out and stroked the slightly hot snowy forehead, and talked to Yan Xing with her big eyes, but it was a pity that Yan Xing could not be deceived by her so easily, he saw from the side that his little sister had received the little hand index finger behind her at this time, and it was like this every time she lied in front of her.
"Little sister, did you steal your brother's wine?"
Yan Xing stepped forward with a smile, wanting to catch this ghostly girl, but Yan Wan had already taken precautions, and ran away with a smile, she looked back and smiled slyly, and said with a smile:
"Eldest brother, don't be so stingy, you accompany Wan'er to enjoy the snow, and Wan'er will invite the eldest brother to drink the Zhongshan winter brew from Father's private collection!"
・・・
"Brother Xian, what are you thinking, so engrossed, do you also think that our army can't capture this Chencang City?"
Li Xiao's voice interrupted Yan Xing's thoughts at an inopportune time, he knew that Zhao Hong's resentment was like the resentment from the low-level soldiers. Seeing that Yan Xing didn't speak, he thought that he was also resentful, so he immediately cheered everyone up and said:
"Now my Liangzhou coalition army is besieging Chencang City, I heard that the reinforcements of the Han army are in a hurry to come to the rescue, and then I will wait for the siege to send reinforcements, and defeat the Han army in the field.
"What if the other Han troops don't come to the rescue?"
Zhao Hong didn't wait for Yan Xing's interface, so he preemptively asked rhetorically, in the past month or so, this Chen Cangcheng can be said to have exhausted his sharpness and fighting spirit, and he simply didn't care about anything else.
Li Biao took a deep breath, and he said helplessly about Zhao Hong's appearance:
"This is the news I learned from other places, and when the general of the United Nations was discussing with the generals in the big tent that day, he said that other Han troops would definitely come to help!"
"Oh?"
Zhao Hong will be suspicious of this, in his opinion, if he is the chief general of the Han army, he will definitely not come to rescue Chen Cangcheng, the coalition army is not good at attacking fortifications, and Chen Cangcheng can be used to consume the strength and morale of the coalition army, and the appearance of the coalition army besieging Chen Cangcheng must also have the intention of besieging the city to help, unless the main general of the Han army is really a figure like Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng Contempt and Zhizhong Cheng Qiu, he will do such a stupid thing at this time.
Li Biao didn't care about Zhao Hong's skeptical tone, he winked at the two of them mysteriously, and said proudly:
"You have to know that the one who is leading the troops now is Huangfu Song, who swept away the yellow scarves back then. On that day, the general said that if there is a great chaos today, the heroes and heroes of all sides are flocking, the Han army is already powerless to resist, and has been defeated one after another, Huangfu Song is in a high position, holding a strong army, if he sits back and watches Chen Cang besieged by our army and cannot patrol, I am afraid that he will be impeached and suspicious by other ministers of the DPRK and China immediately, and even be dismissed by an edict just like in the second year of Zhongping. Faced with such a situation, even if he knew the strength of our army, how could he dare not risk marching. By that time, hehe-"
Li Biao said that the latter stopped just right, leaving the other two endless imaginations. Zhao Hong has the heart to refute it, but there is no relevant information to speculate whether these assertions are right or wrong. And Yan Xing was thoughtful, he was trying to recall all the memories in his mind at this time, recalling the memories of his previous life, which side won the battle between the coalition army and the Han army in the right Fufeng?
There is no doubt that the coalition army must not have been able to conquer Chang'an in this eastward advance, because although Han Sui and others later occupied Tongguan, the eastern gateway of Sanfu, and confronted Cao Cao, but before that, Dong Zhuo had moved the capital to Chang'an, which proved that Chang'an was still in the hands of the Han army at that time, and then inferred from the current situation, the Liangzhou coalition army was very likely to be defeated in the hands of the famous Huangfu Song.
And as far as I can see so far, although the Liangzhou coalition army is fierce cavalry, coming and going like the wind, but it is a fatal weakness not to be good at attacking the city and pulling out the wall, which determines that when the Han army is defending the fortified city and clearing the wilderness, the Liangzhou coalition army that cannot bypass the past can only attack the enemy's length with its own short, and the Han army has fought a war of attrition under the city, and the Liangzhou coalition army has another fatal weakness that it cannot hold for a long time, not to mention that the seventy or eighty thousand troops are all allied troops gathered from various counties and Qiang tribes in Liangzhou, and they have different thoughts. The depletion of food and grass in the rear alone would tear this army apart.
Unconsciously, the Liangzhou coalition army has entered a dilemma. It's just that the authorities are confused, coupled with the deliberate concealment and confusion of the upper echelons of the coalition army, so that the people below are still struggling to persevere, believing that they will soon win the victory. The more Yan Xing thought about it, the more shocked he became, but before he could speak, Zhao Hong, who had been thinking about what Li Biao had just said, spoke up again.
"Brother, what you just said is actually another possibility!"
