Chapter 213: Consume food and grass to besiege but not attack

"Don't dare? When you killed my two brothers, why didn't you think about whether you dared or not? Liu Zhang's face was hideous, his eyes were full of fire, he has always flaunted love and righteousness, but he hesitated on the three brothers, but it caused the death of two brothers and the serious injury of one brother, how could he be embarrassed?

"It's not enough to kill people, why did you make General Guo like this?" Li Dao's face was also hideous, he was not upset for Guo Yan, but afraid, he was afraid that he would become like Guo Yan!

"Yes! Killing people is not enough! Lightweight, you're talking about lightweight! Liu Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "It's not your relatives who die emotionally?" Don't be afraid! General Li, I heard that you didn't want to kill my brother, it was all Guo Yan's doing, so I let Guo Yan's life be worse than death, and I will let you die a miserable death at most! Don't be afraid! ”

Listening to Liu Zhang's words, Li Dao couldn't help but shudder, he pointed at Liu Zhang, and scolded without confidence: "Liu Jiyu, who... Die... Not necessarily! I... If I catch you, I must... I'm sure I'll cut you with a thousand cuts! ”

"A thousand cuts? It's a very good way to die! Liu Zhang smiled lightly and said, "Since you have chosen a dead method for yourself, I will definitely respect your request!" ”

"You..." Li Dao wanted to say something, but he looked at the cold light in Liu Zhang's eyes, and couldn't say a word.

"Uncle, you don't have to be afraid of him, my nephew's martial arts are also good, watch me take Liu Zhang's head!" Li Dao's nephew, Li Xian, has always been pampered, and he saw Liu Zhang threatening Li Dao and wanted to fight.

"Do you want to die?" Li Dao knows Li Xian's martial arts best, he is not even as good as Zhang Xiu, how to be the opponent of the generals under Liu Zhang. In normal times, Li Dao doesn't break it because there is no danger, but now that he is on the battlefield, he is still so arrogant, it is no different from looking for death!

"Uncle... I..."Li Xian was very unconvinced, he was just about to say something, but Li Dao stopped him.

Looking at Liu Zhang's subordinates who came and went in the city, Li Dao asked softly: "Sia'er, I know that your martial arts are good, but how are your martial arts compared to mine?" ”

"How can the little nephew's martial arts be compared to that of the uncle?" Li Xian smiled: "Even if the generals under Liu Zhang's command can't be compared with my uncle!" ”

"Nope! You're wrong! Li Dao sighed: "None of the generals under Liu Zhang's command is worse than me, even if Liu Zhang himself, if I want to defeat him, I will have to be after Lily!" ”

"This..."Li Xian was stunned, and he couldn't help asking, "Has my uncle fought with them?" ”

"Nope!" Li Dao smiled: "But I fought with Hua Xiong!" That Zhang Fei defeated Hua Xiong with only one spear, and I want to defeat Hua Xiong, at least Lily! As for that Huang Zhong, it's even more incredible. Lu Bu's martial arts are far above me, but Huang Zhong can actually be on par with Lu Bu, do you think I will be his opponent? It's that Zhang Xiu, if he does it with all his might, I will at least need Lily to defeat him, and Liu Zhang and Zhang Xiu's martial arts are between the best! ”

"Uncle, that's not what you usually say to me!" Li Xian looked at Li Dao with a confused expression, he didn't understand why Li Dao was different from usual.

"Alas!" Li Dao sighed and said, "Sia'er, don't blame your uncle!" In the past, my uncle had to think about Shi'er, but Shi'er's ability was too poor, if you were too powerful, I was afraid that Shi'er would not be able to control you. But now, there are too many people in my Li family, and I can't let you die because of recklessness! ”

"It's... Uncle..."Li Xian was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that everything before was calculated by Li Wei.

"Don't blame my uncle, my uncle is helpless!" Li Wei shook his head, his face full of exhaustion.

"I don't blame you!" Although Li Xian is not very smart, he knows Li Dao's personality very well, and I am afraid that as long as he shows a little dissatisfaction, he will have to die on the spot.

"It's good not to blame...", he glanced at Li Xian deeply, and Li Xian's face seemed to be smiling, which made Li Xian secretly wary in his heart. However, Li Dao didn't want to harm Li Xian, after all, Li Xian is still the blood of the Li family.

Under the city of Chang'an, Liu Zhang's army besieged the city. This circumference is more than a month. In Chang'an City, there is not much grain and grass, so it is even more stretched. After all, the people also have to eat.

"Brother, we're running out of military rations!" Li Huan, as Li Dao's younger brother, is in charge of grain and grass, and in the past few days, Chang'an's grain and grass have been consumed very quickly, and in desperation, he can only find Li Dao to complain.

"So fast?" Li Dao's face was full of surprise, he thought that his grain and grass could support at least half a year.

Li Huan said with a bitter face: "Brother, you have gathered so many people to go to the city, and the amount of grain and grass consumed is not a small amount. Although I have given as few as possible to the people, there are too many of them..."

"Starting tomorrow, the people of the upper city will bring their own dry food!" Li Jicai didn't care about the lives of the people, he just wanted to continue to consume with Liu Zhang, and it was best to consume Liu Zhang's military food. But will Liu Zhang be short of military rations? Of course not! Yizhou is a country of abundance, and Liu Zhang worked hard to develop agriculture and implemented the tuntian system of intensive cultivation. Coupled with the efforts of Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, and the Mi family, Yizhou's grain hoarding is enough for Liu Zhang's 100,000 army to eat for ten years!

"This..."Hearing Li Wei ask the people to bring their own food and grass, Li Huan asked very hesitantly: "Brother, what if the people don't want to go to the city?" ”

"Rubbish! Is this still to be asked? Li Dao pointed to the saber on Li Huan's waist and said, "Are you wearing ornaments on your waist?" ”

"Brother, what if it causes a civil uprising?" Li Huan was a little worried, after all, there were not many troops under Li Wei's command.

"Who dares to change? If you dare to make a noise, you will kill them all! Li Wei was already going crazy, and when he thought of Guo Yan who was still in the big urn, he felt chills.

"Yes! I'll go down first! Looking at Li Dao's red eyes, Li Huan shuddered and retreated, although Li Dao was his brother, he didn't want to entangle with a person who was about to go crazy. Li Huan knew that Guo Yan's tragic situation was too much of a stimulus to Li Wei.

"Alas!" After Li Huan left, Li Dao sat there like a deflated ball. He has always regretted in his heart, regretting why he was so obsessed with his mind in the first place, listened to Guo Yan's words, and killed Liu Zhang's two brothers, otherwise he could at least surrender now!

After more than a month, the people at the head of Chang'an City were already hungry and unstable. Every day, a large number of people are killed by Li Wei because of hunger and resistance. It was Li Dao's corporal who also looked good.

Under the city of Chang'an, in Liu Zhang's camp.

"Lord, let's attack the city!" After besieging Chang'an for nearly three months, Liu Zhang's generals were also a little anxious. Especially Zhang Fei, who is in a hurry, let him guard like this every day, he can't stand it anymore.

Liu Zhang looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and after the two glanced at each other, they nodded slightly at him. Liu Zhang smiled: "Since this is the case, we will attack the four gates separately, but Li Dao can't let it go!" I dare to say that when the city is broken, Li Dao will definitely abandon the city and flee. It's not so easy to catch him! Mr. Jia, I think you'll give me a good opinion! ”

"This..." Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask him first. You must know that Guo Jia, the first strategist under Liu Zhang, is here.

Looking at Liu Zhang's fiery gaze, and then looking at Guo Jia's smiling face, Jia Xu knew that he couldn't be silent anymore, and since he came to Liu Zhang's command, he had to show his worth. Otherwise, as Liu Zhang said, his subordinates don't want waste!

"Lord, with my understanding of Li Dao, if he is defeated, he has two choices, first, hide incognito and hide in the mountains, and second, find a prince to take refuge!"

Jia Xu said confidently: "Hiding in the mountains and hiding incognito, Li Wei will most likely flee to Liangzhou, after all, it is his hometown." If he wanted to find a prince to take refuge, he could only take refuge in Han Sui or a foreign clan. Only those who ignore the emperor can save Li Dao's surname. Liu Xie, who fled to Cao Ying, would never let go of Li Dao easily. Of course, if Li Dao does the opposite, then there is no way! But I don't believe that Li Dao will have this kind of wisdom! ”

"The relocation of the land and the difficulty of giving up the homeland are indeed the hearts and surnames of the Chinese people!" Liu Zhang closed his eyes and pondered, and tapped lightly with his left hand. After a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Jia, do you think which of the two possibilities is bigger?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "In my opinion, Li Dao will most likely choose to hide incognito and hide in the mountains!" Li Dao has been under Dong Zhuo's command for 20 years, and his status, fame, and wealth have been gained, but this defeat is enough to destroy his confidence. Surrender to the princes, and then hand over his surname to others, presumably Li Dao will not be so stupid! ”

"That is to say, Li Dao will most likely flee back to Liangzhou to live in seclusion!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Is there a necessary way to go to Liangzhou?" ”

"Lord, there is a small path, which is not known, and Li Dao will most likely escape from there!" Jia Xu was also born in Liangzhou, and he is very familiar with the roads in Liangzhou!

"Yide!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You just obey Mr. Jia's dispatch and be sure to capture Li Dao alive!" ”

"Yes! Eldest brother! Zhang Fei's face was full of excitement, what credit is greater than catching the enemy's main general?

"Don't be too happy! If you let me know that you dare to disobey Mr. Jia's orders, don't blame me for being unkind! Chengdu's little black house has been built! Liu Zhang's expression was gloomy, and Zhang Feizhi, who was watching, nodded straight, while the others were laughing on the side.

After everyone finished laughing, Jia Xu bowed down and said, "Lord, I still want to ask you to borrow two people!" Although General Zhang was brave, he was not from Liangzhou and was not familiar with the terrain. If I can lend Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu two generals, I dare to guarantee that Guo Yan will be captured alive! ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It depends on the meaning of the two generals, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu!" ”

"Listen to your lord!" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are not stupid, they know that this is Jia Xu taking care of them, and they can't help but feel grateful in their hearts.

"Good!" Seeing that everything was arranged, Liu Zhangmeng stood up and said: "Pass my order: order Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong to attack the three gates of the southeast and west respectively, Dian Wei, and attack the north gate with me!" ”

With Liu Zhang's order, Liu Zhang's army immediately took action. Two months was enough for Liu Zhang to prepare siege equipment for the whole army. Cloud ladders, well railings, stone throwing carts, wooden beasts, and rushing carts, under the influence of the soldiers, rushed to Chang'an City!
