In a flash, twenty days have passed since the Battle of Jieqiao, and there are still forty days before the new year. But for the people of Liangzhou in Chang'an, this cold winter will be fatal.

Outside Chang'an City, an army of [-] people appeared again, but they were not from Xiliang, but from the Bingzhou Army.

When Li Jue and Guo Si heard that King Hejian's army had arrived at Tongguan, they ordered the soldiers in Jingzhao who were still looting to quickly return to Chang'an City. Now there are only [-] people in the city, including [-] wounded soldiers, who can There were only [-] soldiers fighting, which was comparable in number to the Bingzhou Army.

The remaining [-] men were sent by Fan Chou to Fufeng on the right and garrisoned in Chencang in order to have a way out in case of defeat. Zhang Ji's [-] men were stationed in Fengyi County on the left to guard Gaoling to protect his flanks. Huang Zhong's [-] men People have also arrived, and Zhang Ji is under a lot of pressure.

Li Jue stood on the top of the city and looked at the enemy camp in the distance: "Wen You, the [-]-strong army of the King of Hejian has arrived in Chang'an. Will the Chang'an city be guarded?"

Li Ru: "Zhiran (characterized by Li Jue), in terms of frontal attack capabilities, I, the son of Xiliang, are not afraid of anyone. However, after several battles, our army has not recovered yet. Moreover, the enemy's combat effectiveness is not lower than ours. If we really fight, We may lose even more."

When the emperor died, Li Ru also immediately wanted to find Wang Yue, hoping to block the news, but Chang'an almost searched all over and couldn't find Wang Yue. Li Ru was sure that Wang Yue was in Chang'an, and he was also sure that Wang Yue was in Chang'an.

Guo Si: "In that case, is it useful for us to guard Chang'an?"

Li Ru: "We have the same strength. Only by relying on the strength of the city wall of Chang'an can we stop this iron hoof. There is enough food and grass in the city for us to survive for a year and a half. It is impossible for the King of Hejian to spend this year and a half with us. Only by delaying it can we have hope of survival."

Li Ru was very pessimistic. No wonder he was not pessimistic. Since the Xiliang army went to war, they had not lost a single defeat against the Shandong princes. However, they were beaten so hard that they dared not speak out, especially the Liang and Qiang people. The fire was too painful. .

  While Li Ru was recalling the past, several people appeared outside Chang'an City, "People in the city, listen! Let Li Ru, Li Jue, and Guo Si come out to answer!"

Li Ru recognized this person as Zhang Fei at a glance, and the person next to him...

Li Ru: "My lord Li Ru, I would like to pay my respects to Your Highness."

Liu Han was in a bad mood, "Li Wenyou, let's go to Luoyang, you are very capable!"

Li Ru: "Your Highness is so complimentary."

Liu Han: "You have come all the way here, why don't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

Li Ru: "Your Highness, if your Highness wants to enter Chang'an, it's all right, but there is a huge army behind your Highness..."

Liu Han: "They are not with me. I am afraid. I don't know if I will be like your majesty one day..."

Before Liu Han finished speaking, Li Ru interrupted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is only seriously ill and is out of danger. He is currently resting in the palace."

Liu Han squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ru. He wanted to know whether the emperor was dead or not. After the news from Chang'an came once, Wang Yue couldn't get in touch with him.

For this reason, Liu Han had sent letters many times, and also asked people to go to Chang'an a few days ago to inquire about Wang Yue's news.

"What's going on inside Chang'an?"

Looking at the tall city wall, Liu Han remained silent. With one to one troops, it would be irrational to storm Chang'an. Even if Chang'an is captured, the losses on one's side will be considerable.

Liu Han: "Li Ru, you must be careful this time."

Li Ru: "I would like to extend your auspicious words to His Highness."

After Liu Han left, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was cold winter, his back was already wet with cold sweat and the cold wind was biting. The two of them didn't say a few words, but Liu Han put too much pressure on Li Ru. Watching Liu Han walk away, he couldn't move.

At this time, Li Jue came over: "Wen You, how are you?" Li Ru: "Fortunately, we found it quickly enough."

Li Ru was really glad that he discovered it quickly and took action quickly. Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, whether they knew it or not, even cats, dogs, and even birds, they were all killed. There were three thousand of Dong Zhuo's most elite people in the palace. The Flying Bear Army guards the palace and no one can enter without orders, ensuring that no news from the palace will be spread out.

In addition, Li Ru, Li Jue, and Guo Si began to extort people in the city to frighten the spies of the King of Hejian in the city. If they were lucky, some of the spies were already in jail.

"Zhiran, the most important thing now is not keeping an eye on the King of Hejian, but the city."

"Inside the city?"

"Don't forget how we entered Chang'an."

As soon as Li Ru said this, Li Jue's eyes suddenly widened, "I will take people to kill them all! To avoid future troubles!"

The city of Chang'an is strong. If the traitor had not opened the city gate at night, the Xiliang army would not have been able to enter. Now it is their turn to defend the city. Once the nobles in the city take advantage of them and take down a gate at night to let the army of the King of Hejian in, the city will be broken. In a moment.

"No!" Li Ru quickly stopped him: "If we kill them, who will appease the [-] people in the city for us? You? Or me?"

One million people originally moved west to Chang'an, but Xu Huang kidnapped [-] of them. The remaining [-] people died on the way westward, and some were divided into other counties in Jingzhao. The remaining [-] were forced to move Enter Chang'an.

As a martial artist, Li Jue would certainly not appease the people in the city, "The big deal..."

Li Ru smiled bitterly, this was the shortcoming of the people of Xiliang. They could fight, but managing the place... He would be thankful if the place was not in chaos.

"Zhiran, if these hundreds of thousands of people are really in chaos and all the people in our hands are used to suppress it, then outside..."

Even if Li Ru didn't say anything, Li Jue could also imagine the consequences. "Can Wenyou have the best of both worlds?"

Li Ru's initial idea was to clear out all the people in Chang'an, so that he would not have to worry about internal agents in the city. If the King of Hejian wanted to attack the city, he would have to pay a huge price.

But then I thought about it, these [-] people are a burden, but if they are released, the King of Hejian will have no worries. Although he destroyed a large number of nobles and powerful people, he gave more benefits to the people under his rule. With him His character, if he can't hold on any longer, he can threaten the innocent people in the city.

Li Ru shook his head and said: "No, the army still has to guard the city gate. No one is allowed to approach the city wall for fifty steps. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

Li Jue: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

  Liu Han returned to the camp and knew that Chang'an could not be captured, so he thought of other methods. "Still can't be contacted in town?"

Jia Xu: "My Lord, the Xiliang Army is under martial law in the city. There is a lot of turmoil inside. A considerable number of people are in prison. It is difficult to open the intelligence line and the news has been cut off."

Liu Han frowned. There were not only the Xiliang army in Chang'an, but also hundreds of thousands of people. If they were to attack by force, life would be ruined. "Being filial and gentle, there are ways to defeat the enemy and minimize the losses of the people."

Guo Jia sat down and thought, while Jia Xu also looked at the map.

"It would be great if we could lure out some of these [-] people."

Jia Xu's words inspired Guo Jia: "Surround Wei and save Zhao!" (End of this chapter)
