Although it was cold and snowy outside Chang'an City, Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, had a ruddy complexion, wearing gold armor and sitting on horseback, quite a taste of pointing out the country, and he was very excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Behind him, the soldiers were busy camping and cooking, a busy scene.

I saw that his eyes were staring at the magnificent Chang'an City like a fine light, as if he had seen a lover he hadn't seen for many years. I only heard him mutter, "It's been twenty years, I'm finally back, my good nephew, thank you for guarding this great country for me." ”

Li Yuanjing's flanks were Li Ke, Xue Wanche and a cadre. Xue Wanche asked, "Lord Wang, when will I start attacking, I can't wait to see Lord Wang ascend to the Great Treasure." ”

Li Yuanjing smiled and said, "Don't worry, we only brought three days' rations for this rapid march, and we have to wait a little longer, Chen Xiao will transport food tomorrow." ”

Li Ke had also fought with Taizu Li Yuan, and he was obviously more old-fashioned. said, "Lord Wang, how about we not have siege equipment, I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste of time to recruit people now." ”

Li Yuanjing laughed and said, "Brothers, don't worry, I have been planning this matter for many years, and I will not let you accompany me to take risks in vain." When Li Yuanjing said this, he obviously couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and he said, "If it wasn't for Li Shuo's sideways insertion, now I am already in the world, why wait until now." ”

Thinking back to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, my father named me King Zhao in the third year of Wude. With his immortal military exploits, in the eighth year of Wude, he was awarded the governor of Anzhou. was expected to compete with a few brothers, but the third brother, who was usually the most gentle and humble, suddenly became difficult and ruthlessly got rid of the eldest brother and the second brother. Well, you have a lot of soldiers, and I can't compete with you. If you ask me to be the Yongzhou Mu, I will go, and if you ask me to be the general of the Right Xiaowei, I will still do it. You suspect that I have different intentions, and you want to drive me to help your son guard Tubo and be that barren bullshit Jing King, I can't bear it. Third brother, you are to blame for all this today, as well as Li Shuo's old immortal thing, relying on his identity to bully me, otherwise how could Li Zhi's incompetent child be worthy of the throne.

As soon as I thought of these Li Yuanjing, I became inexplicably angry, I wanted to support Li Tai's ascension to the throne as a puppet emperor, but I just wanted to be a free prince. As a result, Li Shuo wanted Li Zhi to be the emperor, why? You are the ones who forced me to rebel, and you have no resentment against me.

Li Yuanjing was probably tired from the rapid march, and returned to the newly set up camp alone. Seeing him leaving, Li Ke approached Xue Wanche and asked, "Brother Xue, do you think you have a chance of winning this time?" ”

Xue Wanche shook his head and said, "The prince has always been mysterious and secret, and he is unwilling to tell the truth, and he has seventy or eighty percent if he thinks about it, otherwise how could he risk killing his head." Of course, the premise of these seven or eighty percent is that Fang Yiai can successfully rush to Chang'an, and Chai Lingwu can successfully intercept the Tongguan reinforcements. ”

Li Ke smiled and said, "This is very good, now you and I are grasshoppers in the same boat, don't hide your secrets when the time comes." ”

Xue Wanche said: "That's nature. ”

Chang'an City is also busy now, and the boulders are ready to roll the Mouton oil fireballs, just waiting to give the rebels a dismount. In a cottage in Jinyu Town, hundreds of armor soldiers stood out, which made the people working around a little confused. A group of people were busy loading huge wooden structures onto the carts, and the whole thirty or so carriages could not be pulled. The same thing happened in the countryside and cities around Chang'an, as long as there were lush trees, hundreds of soldiers would pull countless wooden blocks to Chang'an.

After the Chang'an rice shop in Qingxiamen was transferred to the surrounding towns, the price of the rice sold was extremely high, selling to six cents a liter, which was several times that of other rice shops, and the business was naturally very deserted and no one cared about. But on this day, it was all pulled away by the army, and it didn't look like a forced sale, and the shopkeepers happily sent each other out of the city, which made the surrounding people very puzzled. Could it be that there is so much silver that there is nowhere to spend it?

The snow was still falling, and the sky was still so dreary, but when the people of Chang'an City woke up, the first news they heard was that Chang'an was besieged, and 100,000 troops had come to the city. This is undoubtedly earth-shattering bad news, so bad that it can't be worse, as if the sky is about to fall. The shouting and shouting and killing a few days ago thought it was a matter of heaven, but compared to this, it was really a small fight.

Compared with the hindsight of the people of Chang'an, the people of Tai'an have long known that someone has rebelled, and the fire at the Hexi Wharf outside the city burned all night, if it wasn't for the Jichuan sailors to extinguish it, maybe Tai'an City would have to burn half of it. Knowing that the rebel army was coming, the common people and gentry threw themselves into it, and some people contributed to the reinforcement of the wharf and the construction of fortifications on both sides of the strait. Because Fangzhou was on the waterway on his back, the speed of going all the way upriver was naturally far from Li Yuanjing's speed, and he had not yet arrived in Tai'an, which gave Liu Wei a lot of time to prepare.

Li Ji stood motionless on top of the city tower in silver-white black hammer armor, with a red cloak tied behind his back. He looked at the carriages outside the city dragging huge wooden blocks, his expression gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as knives. The other generals whispered, not knowing what the rebels were trying to do. It didn't take long to know the answer, which was a siege tower truck with a height of ten zhang and some catapults and siege equipment such as repairs.

Qin Yu came to Li Ji's side and said, "General, could it be that they have already prepared these equipment and transported them around Chang'an?" ”

Li Ji said coldly, "Li Yuanjing has been planning for a long time, and he has already done it, otherwise he can march so fast with these bulky things?" ”

Qin Yu nodded approvingly and said, "This is a tough battle." ”

Han Xiaofeng was not particularly surprised when he heard the news, after all, he had been mentally prepared, but when he heard that there were 100,000 troops, he was still slightly stunned. This Li Ji will appease the army, if it is really 100,000, with the 100,000 defenders of Chang'an, there is still some chance of winning, but it is at least 150,000. The scene of hundreds of thousands of people fighting must be magnificent and magnificent, and it could only be seen in TV dramas before, but now it is not only fortunate or unfortunate that you can experience it and participate in it. Right now

His underground party work has been successfully completed, and fighting a war is the business of those generals, and now that the war is about to start, it will be rare to have a peaceful day in the future. When the time comes, whether it's killing or fleeing, you can run faster.

But as soon as I arrived in the backyard, I realized that Xiaolan's girl had finished practicing, and she was meditating and practicing the Yijin Sutra there, and there was real green smoke on her head, which was much better than me, a lazy old man.

Han Xiaofeng walked up to her and said, "The girl is really getting more and more diligent, she got up earlier than the master, are you going to compare me or what." ”

Xiao Lan grinned and showed a few big white teeth, and said seriously, "Didn't you say that the blue is better than the blue, and I am better than you, isn't it just to give you a long face?" ”

The corners of Han Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, this sentence can really choke people to death, it is really loveless.
