Mu Wu dispatched the military department, the Ministry of Industry, the household department, the garrison battalion and the Praetorian Guard Army to strictly defend and confront Sikong Cong's army in the city tower.

Sikong Cong dispatched charcoal trains, ladders, bows and arrows, and dead soldiers, trying to break through the city gate, but they were all cracked by Mu Yu's strategy, and Sikong Cong's 60,000 troops suffered heavy casualties, so they retreated to the foot of Beibi Mountain, and waited for half a month later to attack the city gate on a rainy night.

That night, Mu Wu observed the celestial phenomena and saw that the rainy night was gloomy, and guessed that Sikong Cong would make a move, and fortified the city tower early.

Sikong Cong was defeated again and could only retreat to Beibi Mountain, and since then, there has been no major mobilization.

Occasionally, the dead soldiers were sent to attack the city gates, and if Mu Yu sent troops to defend the town, they quickly withdrew.

The stalemate lasted for three months, Sikong Cong continued to lose soldiers, but there was no progress in the siege, Mu Wu saw that the timing was about the same, and speculated that Sikong Cong's patience was almost exhausted, so he discussed with Sikong Jue, and ordered his cronies to go to Sikong Cong's camp to pass on Emperor Hui's edict, persuading Sikong Cong to cherish his brotherhood and return to Jizhou, Sikong Jue was still willing to share power with him to supervise the country.

The next day, Sikong Cong sent his cronies to ride horses to the gate of Luoyang City, pushed the envoys sent to persuade peace to the door, and informed: "It is impossible for Prince Cong to withdraw his troops!" said that unless Sikong Jue committed suicide by apologizing for his crimes, he would let Prince Cong enter the Luoyang prison country! ”

Mu Yu stood on the city tower, overlooking and hearing Sikong Cong's reply, and frowned deeply.

The war continued, did not stop, in the blink of an eye, spring went to autumn, Sikong Cong and Luoyang have been in stalemate for more than half a year; Sikong Jue asked Emperor Hui several times to order the royal family to lead their respective troops to aid Luoyang, however, Sikong Cong was also fully prepared before sending troops, and formed alliances with many princes to seek support; The royal family wanted to come to Luoyang's aid, but they were restrained by Sikong Cong's support, and the states of Jin and Song checked and balanced each other, no one came to aid Luoyang, but no one else attacked Luoyang, and no one dared to act rashly.

In October, because of the protracted war, Luoyang blocked the city gate for half a year, the grain and grass could not be transported and the supplies in the city were consumed, and the famine began to spread.

Set up a point at the entrance of the household department, divide one stone of rice into fifty parts, and each household sends someone to apply according to the share, and one person applies for one share, but when it is almost afternoon, the household department is already in a hurry, but the people who apply for grain and rice at the door are still lined up like a long line.

Mu Mo and Xiang stood at the entrance of the household department, while directing the officials to distribute food, while looking at the hungry and thirsty yellow and thin faces in the long queue, worried and anxious stared at the eyebrows, and asked the household servant who told the hoarding of grain: "When the Luoyang rice famine case was found, didn't a lot of hoarding grain be found?" How did you run out of them so quickly? ”

"Auntie, you don't know anything", the household servant looked away from Mu Yu with some embarrassment, looked at the people who were lined up with anticipation at the door, and informed, "At the beginning, Sikong Huang colluded with profiteers to collect a large amount of rice grain but did not sell and distribute it, causing new rice to become old rice; The weather in Luoyang is wet and cold, and more than half of the old rice has been bored, and now it is ...... I'm afraid I can't use it anymore. ”

"Bad rice?" Mu Yu looked at the anxious and hungry faces in the long queue at the door, thinking of the "Luoyang Rice Famine Case" in the harvest season the year before last, and his brows wrinkled tighter. Luoyang, which is good, has become what it is today because of the selfish interests and power struggles of the royal family and nobles, even if God favors it and the people work hard, what is the use?

Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help sighing, and turned to the household waiter: "Chen Mi is Chen Mi, it's better than starving to death." ”

"Uh......" The Tobe waiter was slightly stunned for a moment, then sighed, ordered someone to go back to the warehouse, and moved out the old rice that had accumulated moths one after another, and confirmed to Mu Yu again, "Do you really want to distribute bad rice?" In case the people are dissatisfied......"

"Dissatisfied, there is no other way." Mu Yu looked at the rice grains covered with insect eggs, sighed, thinking of the famine he experienced in Liangzhou back then, at that moment, he drooled when he saw a black steamed bun, knowing that the hungry people would not care about the quality of food, however, thinking of the gradually emptied households and the people who were blocked in the city and unable to farm, he was very worried about the future.

"Mu Yu, I think I need to go into the palace to discuss this matter with the prince." Xiangche also frowned and said what Mu Mo was worried about.

Mu Mo and Xiangche glanced at each other, the two of them tacitly, and said a few words to the household servant, and then left to return to the palace.

When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, he met a cavalryman from the official post, Xiangche saw that he was familiar with him, and recognized it as a cronie who secretly transmitted news to Sikong Jue every day, and hurriedly dismounted to stop him and asked: "But you want to enter the palace to send a letter to Lord Jue?" ”

"Mrs. Xiangche?" The cavalry was slightly stunned, and he also hurriedly dismounted, instructing, "A letter has come from Liangzhou." ”

"Liangzhou?" Mu Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and show me!" ”

The cavalry was stunned and turned to the incense cart, the incense cart nodded in acquiescence, and the cavalry handed the letter to Mu Yu.

Mu Mo hurriedly opened the letter, read it very quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhang Qian came to Luoyang with 10,000 elite soldiers!" ”

"Zhang Qian?" Xiangche was also slightly stunned, "Sikong Yi disregarded his own safety?" ”

"Prince Heng said that Zhang Qian felt that the situation in Luoyang was more urgent than Chang'an, and he left Chang'an with his troops without permission, and Sikong Yi was also angry. Prince Heng ordered Zhang Guigui to send troops to besiege Sikong Yi's mansion to threaten Zhang Qian's return, but Zhang Qian was unmoved and insisted on going his own way, so Prince Heng asked Chi Lu to take the shadow guard to chase Zhang Qian closely, and asked us to be prepared. ”

"Zhang Qian is a bold one." Xiang Che opened his mouth slightly in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then frowned, "Now, the situation is changing rapidly, and we really need to have a good chat with Lord Jue about how to deal with it." ”

"Well, let's enter the palace quickly." Mu Yu said, and quickly whipped into the palace with the incense car.

All the way through the narrow alley, galloping to the direction of the Great Cause Palace, dozens of black shadows jumped down from the eaves, and stabbed straight in the direction of the incense car Mu Yu with a sword; Mu Mo and Xiangche were startled, and hurriedly rode their horses and jumped away, each pulling out their swords.

"Bold Assassin! How dare you assassinate in the inner courtyard of the palace! Xiangche glared angrily at the black shadow with a sword that was approaching.

"Shhh

"Poria!" Mu Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking of the first time he met Poria in Qianji Valley, he "sighed" in his heart.

Now, Poria has become Sikong Bo's Continuation Lady, if she can mobilize the assassins to ambush herself and Xiangche in the palace to assassinate herself and Xiangche, then Sikong Bo's attitude must be a question mark? He commanded the palace guards...... Not good! Lord Jue!

Mu Yu's heart suddenly tightened, and he saw a flock of eagles whistling in his direction with a whistle.

In the hurried whistle, a thin figure in a big red skirt fell from the sky, Poria willow eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes stared at Mu Yu and Xiangche on the opposite side of the isolation, and snorted coldly: "Sikong Jue is tortured to death, and you are still working hard here." ”

"Lord Jue!" Xiangche was shocked when he heard this, and almost pounced on Poria Cocos, "What did you do to him?!" ”
