Guanggu, city head, nightfall.
The black-robed man looked calm, standing with his arms folded, looking coldly at the dense crowd outside the city, which had gradually poured back into the long perimeter. Three days ago, the five hundred thousand stones of food and grass piled up like a hill, now
He was inside the city wall behind him, carrying cars from various streets and alleys to the granary in the inner city like a confluence of rivers. The city was dotted with sparks, and under the light of torches, thousands of women were transporting grain outside the city these days.
, was sitting on the ground, greedily chewing on the white-flour buns one by one, with a smile on his face.
Tens of thousands of fully armed sergeants were on both sides of the streets holding halberds and knives, maintaining order. The roofs on both sides were filled with archers, controlling the high points, while skeleton-like women and children
The old and weak stood quietly behind the sergeants, looking eagerly at the bags of rice with hope in their eyes.
Gongsun Wulou's iconic voice passed through a grain cart he was sitting on and resounded through the streets of the city: "Have you all seen it? This is the skill of the imperial master, forcing Liu
Yu paid us food and asked for peace. Now Da Qin's reinforcements are about to arrive. The Jin army cannot hold out for long. Our ancestors protect every Da Yan people. Victory is coming!"
His voice, accompanied by the grain truck, would draw bursts of cheers wherever it went. Many Xianbei women with braided hair had tears in their eyes, bowed to the ground, kowtowed and shouted:
: "My ancestors are above me, bless me Dayan! My ancestors are above me, bless me Dayan!"
And many people even shouted: "The Imperial Preceptor is a thousand years old, the Imperial Preceptor is a thousand years old, long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"
A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of the black robe's mouth, and Murong Lan's voice sounded coldly behind him: "Take the life-saving food and grass sent by Liu Yu and take it as your own credit. You suddenly become the savior again."
A hero, doesn’t this feel good?”
The black robe smiled slightly and turned around: "So our Princess Lan wants to propose again that I should leave Guanggu City now so that everyone in the city can be saved?"
Murong Lan shook his head, took out a small sheepskin scroll, and handed it to the black robe: "I'm afraid you can't count on Da Qin's reinforcements. You can let Gongsun Wulou fool the people in the city, but you can't fool yourself.
.”
Hei Pao took the sheepskin roll with a smile, opened it and took a look. With a gentle rub of his skinny fingers, the small sheepskin roll immediately turned into pieces and fell smoothly, accompanied by Hei Pao's calm voice:
"Half an hour ago, I knew the details of the conversation between Kumarajiva and Liu Yu. Alan, your intelligence speed is a bit slow."
Murong Lan frowned: "No wonder I saw the bright moon flying over half an hour ago, and the battle was about to begin, and you actually took the risk of letting her enter the Jin camp again, just to find out about Kumarajiva's mission?"
The black robe shook his head: "There are other arrangements. Of course, asking for information is very important. Before the monk came to Jin camp, he lit the beacon and sent us a signal. Mingyue's trip was also in accordance with the agreement.
, I also kept an eye on the Jin camp, and the movements of Hu Fan and Xu Chite are very clear. This time Mingyue avoided the two of them, so I was able to go in and out safely."
Murong Lan sighed: "I'm afraid Qin's foreign aid is gone. If Yao Xing really wants to fight, he won't send an envoy over, but will attack quietly with all his strength. And the news makes it clear that after Helian Bobo attacked Liangzhou,
There is another intention to attack Lingbei. Yao Xing cannot raise more troops to rescue us at this time. Even Han Fan is considering whether to surrender to the Jin army. I don’t know what you are still holding on to?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "These are all expected things. It doesn't matter whether the Later Qin army comes or not. It is enough to make Liu Yu think they will come. This time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Yu directly said harsh words to rush
Even though Kumarajiva left, he was still afraid that the Later Qin would send troops to join forces with Tianshi Dao to attack Liu Yi in Yuzhou. You see, starting from the afternoon, an army left the camp and headed southwest. You
Guess who?!”
Murong Lan frowned: "Look at the flag, it's Liu Fan's Yanzhou troops, but what does this have to do with the Later Qin Dynasty? They should be going to reinforce Liu Yi and deal with Tianshi Dao."
Heipao sneered and said: "This is what I want Mingyue to check. In fact, Liu Yu is cunning in his military use. He may play the trick of withdrawing his troops openly and adding more troops secretly to confuse my judgment. But this time, Liu Fan really withdrew."
Yao Xing would never come across Yuzhou, but if he attacks Yongzhou or flanks Liu Yi in Yuzhou, even if he captures Yuzhou, he will not come back.
It is possible to cut off Liu Yu's direct route to Yuzhou, threaten Huaibei, and cut off the connection between Liu Yu's army and the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "No wonder you are in such a good mood. Do you think it will be impossible for Liu Yu to attack the city without Liu Fan's Yanzhou troops?"
The black robe sighed: "I'm not so optimistic. I've been inspecting the city for the past two days. Most of the mechanisms and layouts left by this piece of shit Zhang Gang cannot be changed or moved. Liu Yu will attack the city starting tomorrow.
, I am afraid that these arrangements at the top of our city will be destroyed first. By then we are unlikely to use these mechanisms to kill the Jin army in large numbers. In turn, Zhang Gang should build a lot of siege equipment for the Jin army in the past few days. This
Whether Guanggu City can be defended depends on the next three days. If it survives three days, there is a chance!"
Murong Lan said sternly: "Liu Yu will definitely attack the city with all his strength, regardless of casualties. He is willing to let Liu Fan go first because he must be fully confident that the current military strength is enough to capture Guanggu. I suggest you for the last time.
It’s better to leave Guanggu first. I will ask Liu Yu to remember the relationship between the couple and not send troops into the city. I will take charge of Guanggu. When Liu Yu’s army withdraws, you can find a way to come back, or..."
Having said this, she paused and looked at the black robe: "How do you think about what I proposed last time?"
Heipao gritted his teeth: "You want me to take all the Xianbei people in the city by boat back to Liaodong to attack Beiyan. This is crazy. Besides, where do you want me to get so many ships now?"
Murong Lan said solemnly: "As long as Donglai and the coast east of Qilu are in our hands, I can have the shipbuilders build thousands of sea ships. In those days, Soochow once carried tens of thousands of troops from Yangzhou to attack Goguryeo. I collected
According to the nautical charts and hydrology at that time, the Feng family of Beiyan killed Murong Xi and usurped the throne in Liaodong to establish itself. That is the foundation of our Murong family. Isn't it better to fight back to our hometown than wait for death here?"
The black robe's eyes sparkled, and he was obviously deep in thought.
