Chang'an, Qin Palace.
Fu Jian's eyes were still sparkling with tears. Night was falling outside. In the main hall, lamps and candles were lit. The dancing flames reflected the heavy faces, whether they were monarchs or ministers, civil servants or military generals.
None of them have fully recovered from today's nightmare, and no one has thought about why the 30,000 cavalrymen, who were so full of morale and confidence when they set out early in the morning, were actually annihilated. Everyone knows that,
At this time, we can only wait for God's help.
Quan Yi coughed dryly and said: "King of Heaven, the matter has come to this, it is useless to think about it anymore. Now Chang'an City's foreign aid has been cut off, and it has lost the ability to go out of the city to fight in the field. The only solution now is to find a way to get the nearest support.
, Time is not our friend. There are too many people in Chang'an City, and all the granaries outside the city have been lost. The entire city's grain reserves are only enough for one month. Please make an early decision."
Fu Jian sighed: "What decision can be made now? Are we going to let the people out of the city and let them be massacred by the cruel and brutal Xiyan army? Today everyone has seen how these Xianbei demons dealt with those unarmed prisoners of war.
These people came to seek refuge with Gu because they were desperate. If Gu couldn't even protect them, how could they survive?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "But there is no way to protect these people now. If it were yesterday, maybe a passage could be opened for these people to flee south to the Jin Kingdom, but now Chang'an City has been besieged by the Yan army, and it is impossible to escape south.
King Fu Tian, your benevolence and righteousness are admirable, but you must act within your capabilities. Now you are no longer capable of protecting these people. This fact is cruel, but it must be admitted."
Fu Jian turned his attention to the ministers around him and said, "Do you also think that the only way to survive is to let the people leave the city now?"
Quan Yi nodded: "Let them resign themselves to their fate. The Yan army slaughtered the prisoners of war as a demonstration, but they may not really take the lives of the people. Maybe handing over the property can save one life. It is better than staying in the city and waiting to die.
Come strong."
Liu Yu said slowly: "Absolutely not. Murong Chong is cruel and easy to kill. What he did cannot be judged from a human perspective. His purpose is to make the whole city, and even all the people in Guanzhong, fight for him."
Everyone must have a clear understanding of this. When I went out to the camp to negotiate yesterday, although he did not agree directly, Murong Yong promised not to hurt the lives of unarmed people, but the words are still in my ears. Today
He came to kill tens of thousands of prisoners. At this time, even if we release the people from the city, we will only become prey under their swords."
Fu Jian looked at Liu Yu with bright eyes: "Is there a way to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "This is a battle to defend the city. I can participate and will devote myself fully. The current situation is not desperate. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city. They can also contribute to defending the city. Chang'an City is too big
, if it is really impossible to defend all the city walls with only 20,000 to 30,000 defenders in the city, the first thing we have to do is to meet the enemy's night attack today, survive tonight, and then talk about how to defend the city.
"
Fu Jian was surprised and said: "Night attack? Will the Yan army attack the city tonight? Liu Yu, are you kidding me? Today they fought hard all day and slaughtered prisoners of war. They are already exhausted. How can they attack the city? If they want to attack, they must attack in the daytime.
, it is getting late now, no matter how crazy the general is, he will not choose to fight at night."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The art of war is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. The attack often starts when the defender least expects it. It is because everyone thinks that it is impossible for them to attack the city today, so they will choose this time.
Attack. Because siege is not only a forceful attack, but also a surprise attack."
Fu Jian's eyes lit up and he lost his voice: "You mean, the secret passage?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he nodded: "Exactly, when Murong Wei wanted to escape, he had to take a secret way out. There is no secret way out of the city in his Xingxing Houfu, so he had to go into the palace first, and then leave from the city.
The secret escape route in the palace, Chang'an City has a history of hundreds of years from the Qin and Han dynasties to the present. All dynasties have left various escape routes out of the city in the palace and city. This is the route they will use to attack the city tonight!"
Fu Jian frowned slightly: "But last time Murong Wei failed to escape, we have sealed the two secret passages. Now there is no secret passage to enter the palace."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The secret passage leads to more than just the palace city. Chang'an is so big, there are many exits. Heavenly King, I won't hide it from you now. The Xianbei sergeants who attacked the Qin Palace last time were from a few years ago."
Entering the city through secret passages, and then sneaking into the palace from Xingxing Houfu, Murong, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of living beings in the city, can you tell King Fu Tian about the exits of these secret passages?"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "Originally, from my position, I should be Fu Jian's enemy. These secret passages are also my elder brother's years of hard work, in order to assassinate Fu Jian. But now, compared to our Qin and Yan countries,
In this blood feud, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are even more important. Murong Chong has gone crazy and is a living devil. No matter what, we must stop him first. I will tell you the locations of these secret passages."
Fu Jian felt happy and said quickly: "Quick, get the map."
Several chamberlains immediately took a sand table, which was a map of Chang'an City. Murong Lan stepped forward, followed by several generals, watching her mark the map, while Liu Yu said seriously:
"These are the secret ways that Miss Murong knows these days, and there must be others that she doesn't know about. Murong Chong, Murong Yong, and others are members of Murong Wei. They have nothing to do with Murong Chui's group, even if they are plotting to restore the country.
, they all do their own thing, so from now on, in addition to leaving ambushes at the exits of these secret passages, we must also mobilize the people of the whole city, regardless of men, women, old and young, to patrol the courtyards, back gardens, and wells of every household all night long.
, are all places that can easily be used as the exit of secret passages, and a thorough search is required."
Fu Jian nodded repeatedly and said in admiration: "Liu Yu, you are really a genius in the art of war. Originally, I had suffered such a failure today and had little confidence in defending the city. But after hearing what you said, I am so shocked."
Confidence was rekindled."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "The good thing now is that there are many people in the city, and they are all very loyal to you, the King of Heaven. They are immediately organized into tribes. The city is divided into three teams based on squares, men, women and young and old.
During the inspection in shifts, there were many suspicious soldiers and scarecrows on the top of the city. Lanterns and braziers were hung from the top of the city and suspended in half of the city to illuminate the outside and prevent the enemy from sneaking up the city wall. Today's focus was on the secret passage where the enemy sneaked.
In the middle, we must teach the Yan army who attacked at night that there will be no return!"
