Chapter 379:
Seeing Liu Renliang Mingjin withdraw his troops, Li Hong on the city tower finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the hearts of the ministers next to him were also slightly relaxed, and at the same time, Liu Renliang's defeat also gave them a little more confidence, and their eyes at Li Hong were also a little more respectful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that Xu Jingzong frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said to Li Hong.
"Your Highness, the defense arrangement in the city is confidential, and the old minister shouldn't have asked more, but at such an important moment, why didn't he see General Pei?"
Different from the blind optimism of the ministers, Xu Jingzong is very clear about Li Hong's ability, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good hand in handling government affairs, but when it comes to arranging troops and marching to fight, he still trusts professionals more.
But since he came to the city tower this morning, he has not seen Pei Xingjian's shadow, originally he thought that he was arranged by Li Hong to go to Longshouyuan to ambush Liu Renliang, but later found out that it was Wang Fangyi, how could he not feel strange......
"Hehe, Xu Xiangxin is as careful as a hair, in fact, this matter was originally meant to be told to you, but in a hurry, I forgot to say it!"
Li Hong smiled, but his eyes were still solemn and tight, and his voice was slightly gentle, he paused, and said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the ministers focused on Li Hong, after all, it was a matter related to his own life, so they couldn't help but care!
"Although the troops in Chang'an City are enough to hold on, but the war will inevitably be devastated, affecting the surrounding people, so Gu drew up another set of plans earlier, and now General Pei has led people to protrude from Jinguangmen and rushed to Junzhou, which is the closest to Chang'an City, to transfer troops, as long as we hold off Liu Renliang's army for three days, and wait until General Pei returns with his troops, we can naturally break this siege!"
Li Hong's words were not high, but they clearly made everyone feel the strong confidence in his words.
Seeing that Li Hong was so sure, everyone was overjoyed in their hearts, and arched their hands and said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"
It's just that unlike the reassurance of a courtier, Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong, but a trace of worry suddenly appeared on his face......
…………
"General!"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Renliang looked tired, sitting in the middle of the big tent and listening to the report of his subordinates.
"This time we have suffered heavy losses, the brothers have been running for a long time, plus they were ambushed in Longshouyuan, and they attacked Chang'an City once, and now the army is extremely tired, and we are marching in a hurry this time, and we have not brought a lot of baggage, the grain and grass are already urgent, and there is ......."
"Needless to say!"
Before the lieutenant could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Renliang's irritable voice, and after a pause, Liu Renliang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Pass my military order, the army will rest in place for one night, and start attacking the city tomorrow!"
"But ......"
Unexpectedly, the lieutenant general was a little hesitant, still standing in place and not moving, and then his expression changed for a while, and then he hesitated to speak
"General, the soldiers are very tired now, if they only rest for one night, it may be difficult to recover their combat strength, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... today."
"How?"
Liu Renliang's eyes narrowed, and there was a dangerous aura all over his body, and his voice became a little cold.
The adjutant shook slightly, but the words had already been said here, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.
"Today, the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have spread widely among the soldiers, and the military spirit of the army has been shaken......
With a "bang", Liu Renliang's fist slammed heavily on the handsome case, his face was hideous, and his voice was cold.
"What else?"
"The general forgives me, the brothers have no doubt about your intentions, but today's words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not unreasonable, and the brothers are short of food and grass, so the army is a little unstable!"
Seeing that Liu Renliang's reaction was so violent, the deputy general was also frightened, and hurriedly knelt on one knee and said urgently.
"Alright, you get up first!"
After a while, Liu Renliang also slowly calmed down, his face was slightly better, and his voice became a lot calmer, but the two gray eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
In fact, he didn't know in his heart that the current army was impetuous, and it was difficult to succeed at all, not to mention that this time it was the capital of the Tang Dynasty that was going to be attacked, if he hadn't made up the lie that His Majesty was being held hostage, and forcibly suppressed all the discordant remarks with military talismans, I am afraid that the army would have been turned upside down!
What's more, Liu Renliang is also a battle-hardened person, so he doesn't know that for the army, the most important thing is logistics, and now they only have two or three days of grain and grass in reserve, which is one of the reasons why he is so anxious.
"Pass the order, anyone who dares to continue to disturb the hearts of our army will be killed!"
After a pause, Liu Renliang's face changed for a while, and he said fiercely.
Seeing that the adjutant's face suddenly turned pale, Liu Renliang's face softened slightly, and he continued to speak.
"If the old man remembers correctly, the army should have enough food and grass for three days, you go and take out all the remaining meat now, start a fire to cook, let the soldiers have a good rest, and continue to attack the city tomorrow!"
They came on a hurried march, so naturally they did not bring too many things, although they said that they had three days' food and grass, but in fact it was only enough to starve to death.
But looking at Liu Renliang's current meaning, he actually wants to divide most of the grain and grass to calm the army's heart......
"General......
The lieutenant general was about to say anything more, but Liu Renliang didn't have the heart to continue listening, waved his hand irritably, and said.
"Let's go down and do it!"
In desperation, the lieutenant had no choice but to salute and then retreat.
Leaving Liu Renliang alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, his face changed for a while, and finally a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes......
"Vice General Liu, how is it, what did the general say?"
As soon as the adjutant general came out of the big tent of the Chinese army, he was surrounded by a group of generals, all of whom were Liu Renliang's henchmen and generals, and among them, this deputy general Liu was the most trusted by Liu Renliang.
Liu Renliang has been in a very bad mood these days, and they don't dare to ask more, but as soon as Vice General Liu comes out at this moment, he is naturally very concerned.
"The general has an order, take out all the meat left in the general, treat the brothers, have a good night's rest, and continue tomorrow!"
Vice General Liu's face was solemn, and he barely squeezed out a smile and spoke.
"This ...... Vice General Liu, do we really want to attack Chang'an? ”
A centurion below asked hesitantly.
And the rest of the generals also showed hesitation on their faces, looking at Vice General Liu.
"Presumptuous, do you even dare to question the general's military orders?"
Vice General Liu's face sank, and his voice became cold.
After a pause, his tone eased slightly.
"The general has a secret decree in his hand, and you have not read it, not to mention that the talisman was given to the general by the British bus, what doubts do you have!
As long as we wait until we enter Chang'an City and see Your Majesty, everything will naturally be self-evident!
Hurry up and get ready! ”
Having said that, there were still a few generals who hesitated, and Vice General Liu's face suddenly became cold, and everyone slowly dispersed, preparing to go......
