Pei Kuan had no evidence, so he could only say: "The last general is just a guess!" ”

At this time, Li Longji was silent.

I began to think about whether Pei Kuan made sense.

The cow cyclamen cried out in disgust.

The emperor, who has experienced betrayal, has become a frightened bird, and from time to time he is worried about whether the people around him will rebel.

Now that Pei Kuan said this, what if the emperor issues an edict in the future and questions the envoys of the major festivals?

Wouldn't that force a few knots to be reversed?

Thinking of this, the cow cyclamen immediately spoke.

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to Pei Kuan's nonsense."

"Weichen has been on the frontier for a long time, and he has never heard of a fierce general named Lu Bu!"

"This person with the same name as Lu Bu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty must be the secret hand that Li Mao has been preparing for a long time."

Pei Kuan also seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, just now it was all the last general who was guessing wildly. Don't take it personally. ”

"Haha!"

Li Longji laughed dryly, "Both of them are loyal and good generals of mine, and they can say anything they have directly." ”

The head of the city fell silent at this time.

The three of them looked at Li Mao at the same time.

……

Two hours later.

The sun has set in the western mountains.

Counting money and counting to hand cramps is something that many people dream of?

But Li Mao didn't want to do it again.

The four guards of the North Ya, the Xuanjia Iron Horseman, and the camp were trapped, with a total of more than 20,000 people.

In addition to those on duty, 18,000 people also came to collect money.

Before and after, a total of nearly 60,000 copper coins were issued.

A soldier's monthly salary is tentatively set at the same copper coin, and 20,000 people need 20,000 yuan.

The big head was the reward for the bloody battle the night before.

Each soldier was required to issue ten pieces of copper coins, and a total of thirty-eight thousand pieces were spent.

The rest of the pension cannot be paid at this time.

We have to wait until Chang'an is pacified, and then we can find our families.

Li Mao rubbed his pantothenic wrist and looked at the soldiers in the audience who were discussing how to spend money, and frowned slightly.

Because most of the soldiers are saying that they will go to Yihong Courtyard and Yichun Courtyard to play when they are on vacation.

I wanted to say something.

But Li Mao thought of what he had done in his previous life, and gave up again.

It's all a group of people who lick blood from the knife edge, and there is no tomorrow today.

It must be a happy day, just a happy day.

Fighting on the battlefield, no one dares to guarantee that they will survive.

Even Li Mao is the same.

By this time, the soldiers had already dispersed one after another, ready to go back for dinner.

Seeing that there were no more idle people waiting for him, Li Mao hurriedly summoned Lu Bu over.

"Fengxian, how long will it take you to get out?"

Lu Bu clasped his hands into fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general can lead the army to attack at night tonight!" ”

"How sure are you?"

"At least fifty percent!"

Zhao Gao didn't understand military affairs, and when he heard that Lu Bu was only fifty percent sure, he dared to fight, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Your Majesty, the odds are too low! Why don't you wait for the soldiers to practice for a few more days? ”

Li Mao shook her head.

"Fifty percent is not low!"

"The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, even if the ancient famous general launches a battle, he does not dare to speak, and he is sure of victory."

Do you want to attack tonight?

Li Mao pondered this question in her mind.

If the war goes well, then within the Guanzhong range, Li Longji will no longer have any field troops.

It's about to be autumn again.

With Guanzhong closed, it is necessary to find enough food to survive this year's cold winter.

Without the field troops, Li Longji would certainly not be able to stop himself from collecting grain.

If the night attack fails tonight.

With 3,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry pressing the formation, the enemy army also dared to cover up and come back.

Losses should be manageable.

Li Mao calculated carefully, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not suffer a loss, so naturally there was no reason not to fight!

"Fengxian, you let the soldiers go to bed after dinner."

"Wait for the third watch in the middle of the night, and then lead the army to sneak attack."

"Remember, you must arrange the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to suppress the formation to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to cover up and kill the enemy after the night attack fails!"

Since it was going to be attacked at night, it was impossible for Li Mao to stay here, so he explained in great detail.

Lu Bu also listened very carefully.

After making sure that the emperor had nothing else to explain, Lu Bu immediately made a guarantee.

"Your Majesty, you are waiting for the good news of the last general in the palace."

Li Mao nodded.

was about to get up and go back to the palace, but suddenly thought that since he had come, he would see if he could persuade Pei Kuan to surrender and avoid a fight.

After all, pensions are frighteningly high.

Now there are no extra copper coins at all.

From a grand strategic point of view, if Pei Kuan can be persuaded to surrender, the crisis in Chang'an City can be resolved immediately.

You can also take this opportunity to see if you can take Tongguan and Wuguan and get the eastward and southward expansion channels.

When Li Mao thought of this, he immediately turned over and got on his horse.

"Let's go, let's talk to Pei Kuan."

Lu Bu and Zhao Gao followed closely as they were told.

The other guards followed suit.

The group came to Mingdemen beyond the range of bows and arrows.

Li Mao looked up at the Mingde Gate.

The gates, which had been opened inward, had been blocked by boulders.

The military paths leading to the city walls were also demolished.

An entire wall of walls was filled with figures shaking.

Li Mao looked like that, he wanted to divide the city wall with stones.

Prevent your side from attacking along the wall.

It seems that if you want to climb the city wall, there is no other way than to erect a ladder.

Zhao Gao took a step forward, pulled up the duck-like voice and shouted, "Pei Kuan, is General Pei here?" ”

There was no answer from the tower of the city gate.

Zhao Gao shouted again: "Is General Pei here?" Your Majesty wants to talk to you personally! ”

After a long wait, there was still no movement.

Li Mao frowned slightly, "Zhao Gao, you take a few more steps forward to see if Pei Kuan is on the city gate." ”

Zhao Gao's face turned bitter.

A few more steps and you'll be within range of your arrows.

But the emperor's order, he did not dare to disobey.

I could only take three more steps forward and shout: "Is General Pei here?" Your Majesty is willing to give you a chance to live, as long as you can come out and talk! ”

Upstairs at the city gate.

Pei Kuan's face was full of embarrassment.

Li Longji had been staring at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Without the emperor's order, he naturally did not dare to answer without permission.

It wasn't until he was pulled by the cow cyclamen that Li Longji reacted.

"General Pei, the traitor is talking to you!"

"Why don't you answer? Do you think I'll be careful? ”

Pei Kuanxin said, it is because you have to be careful that I don't dare to answer.

However, he naturally did not dare to say such words.

He could only pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said loudly: "Without His Majesty's instructions, how can the last general contact the rebels without authorization?" ”

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction: "You ask what the rebel wants to do?" Don't give away my news here. ”

After Pei Kuan received the order, he immediately walked to the edge of the city wall and shouted downward: "I, Pei Kuan, and Er and other rebellious people are incompatible. ”

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Li Mao thought that Pei Kuan was not there, and wanted to go back to the palace.

After suddenly hearing the sound from the city gate, I was overjoyed.

Immediately shouted loudly: "General Pei, have you read my edict on enthronement?" ”

"The emperor died of a violent illness the night before, please don't be deceived by the treacherous villain who pretended to be the emperor again!"

"As long as you can lead the troops to surrender, I will ensure that your whole family will not have to worry about it, and the official will be reinstated!"
