Chapter 380: Crazy Thoughts
Chang'an City, East Palace!
The night was dark, but Li Hong did not feel the slightest sleep, and after a long time, he looked out the window at the darkness and sighed heavily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Highness, Xu Xiang is here!"
Wang Fusheng said cautiously.
"Please!"
Not long after, Xu Jingzong, who was dressed in dust, wore a fur coat, braved the night cold and walked in, saluted respectfully, and said as soon as he sat down.
"I don't know if His Highness summoned him late at night, but it was to resist Liu Renliang?"
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Jingzong's brows were furrowed tightly, and his expression was even more solemn at the moment, you must know that Li Hong's tricks today can be hidden from the ministers, but he can't hide it.
That's right, what Li Hong said on the city tower today did not say a word of falsehood, today Liu Renliang did lose face and returned defeated, Pei Xingjian also successfully broke through, as long as the reinforcements can be brought back within three days, Chang'an City can naturally be safe.
But the problem is that today's situation is not the real strength comparison between the two sides, Li Hong seems to be majestic today, but in fact, he just took advantage of the opponent's long-distance attack, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack, so that he was able to force Liu Renliang to retreat.
When the army came over today, Xu Jingzong keenly felt that the other party's fighting spirit was not high, and there were even some wounded.
But you must know that Liu Renliang is a veteran of the battlefield, even if he is anxious and does not realize this, he will inevitably wake up after retiring from the army this time, as long as he is in one night, he will be able to regroup, and when the time comes, he will really fight, I am afraid that his side is not an opponent.
Let's talk about Pei Xingjian......
When it came to this, Xu Jingzong wanted to point at Li Hong's nose and scold, and he didn't look at what time it was, Li Hong actually sent the best handsome talent in the city, if Pei Xingjian was in the city, with his many years of experience in the battlefield, he might be able to persevere, but now that he leaves, there are no people in Chang'an City who know the soldiers very well, how can this battle be fought?
Yes, as long as you wait for reinforcements to arrive, you can naturally break the siege, but the question is, how to stop the days of these three days? Even if it is blocked, the casualties will increase significantly!
Or do you want to point to Liu Renliang and stop the siege?
To sum up, Master Xu Jingzong glared at Li Hong with resentment, and even wondered if this person was the little fox who was strategizing!
"Xu Xiang is smart, with the military strength on our side, it is indeed difficult to support it, even if we do our best, it will inevitably increase a large number of casualties! So Lone plans to meet this Liu Renliang in person tomorrow! ”
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was so dissatisfied, Li Hong chuckled, shook his head slightly, and then said with a solemn face.
"No!"
It's just that as soon as Li Hong's words fell, Xu Jingzong directly refused without thinking about it, paused, and his tone was a little slower.
"Your Highness, the son of humanity is still not sitting in the hall, not to mention that His Highness is the second prince of the country, how can he be in danger? What's more, the defense of Chang'an City is not weak, as long as Liu Renliang does not make up his mind to fill it with his life, it is absolutely impossible to break through within three days, no, no, no! ”
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he waved his hand again and again.
Are you kidding?
Don't say anything else, now Liu Renliang must hate Li Hong to the core, to put it mildly, if it weren't for Li Hong pressing step by step, Liu Renliang would definitely not have come to today's difficult situation of riding a tiger, if Li Hong dares to go, there must be no return!
Not to mention that he was worried about his life, but there was a slight mistake, and Li Zhi didn't tear down his old bones alive when he came back!
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jingzong's gray head shook like a rattle, and he was determined to snuff out Li Hong's dangerous idea!
It's just that this nervous appearance made Li Hong slightly stunned, and even a little smiling.
"Xu Xiang doesn't have to worry, since Lone dares to go, he naturally has his own certainty, and now Lone's son has just been born, so he is reluctant to put his life into it!"
Li Hong made a rare joke, but the effect was not very good, Xu Jingzong still looked at him with a serious face, there was no room for negotiation on his face, he was even thinking about whether to call Old Man Dai and Old Man Zhang over to stop Li Hong after leaving the East Palace today.
After all, Dai Zhide is Li Hong's teacher, the so-called heaven and earth monarch's teacher, no matter what, Dai Zhide's words, Li Hong still has to listen!
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was unmoved, Li Hong's face also became solemn, and he said in a deep voice.
"Xu Xiang, you have been in the dynasty for many years, you should be known as an official, and those who are prime ministers should be headed by all the people in the world, and now behind Liu Renliang is the people of Gyeonggi, Chang'an City is indeed a city with deep walls, and it is difficult to storm down, but once Liu Renliang reacts, what should he do if he uses those people as a threat?"
Xu Jingzong, who Li Hong asked in one sentence, was suddenly speechless, and his face became ugly.
"This ...... Liu Renliang shouldn't be so mad! ”
In fact, to be honest, Xu Jingzong has thought of this a long time ago, but he has always been reluctant to believe it, because once this happens, no matter what he does, he Xu Jingzong will become a sinner!
Whether he chooses to sacrifice those innocent people or hand over Li Hong, it is not something he can do!
But now it was directly placed in front of him by Li Hong, so for a while, Xu Jingzong's face became much gloomy.
"Not to ......"
The corners of Li Hong's mouth flashed with a mocking smile, and he said lightly.
"Didn't Xu Xiangmo forget the situation in Lantian County?"
One sentence made Xu Jingzong's face extremely pale! What is the situation in Lantian County? Naturally, he is clear!
Since Lantian County sent a Hongling urgent report two days ago, Li Hong immediately sent spies to check, and the result of the report simply made Li Hong want to raise his sword and kill Liu Renliang directly!
Today's Lantian County has long been without a grain of grain, it is even more serious than last year's drought, people are starving to death almost every moment, if it weren't for Liu Renliang still maintaining a little sobriety and not allowing the army to kill, I'm afraid that Li Hong would have already led the army out to settle accounts with him!
But even so, the whereabouts of the Lantian County Order are now unknown, and that large number of people have no food and clothing!
Since he, Liu Renliang, was able to do such a heart-wrenching thing, what did it matter if there was one more?
After a long time, Xu Jingzong lowered his head weakly, but the worry between his eyebrows and eyes was even stronger!
As Li Hong expected, Li Zhi was able to rest assured that he would hand over the province to Xu Jingzong for so many years, not only because of Xu Jingzong's achievements in the dragon at the beginning, or because of the abolition of Wang Liwu's sideline, but more importantly, he really has a mind and can put the people in his heart!
After a while, Xu Jingzong said in a hoarse voice.
"Your Highness...... How can you keep yourself safe ......" (to be continued.) )
