Li Fei did not go to the North Tower, but went to the Yayue Pavilion to look at each other from a distance.
Shi Fuqiu's last shout sounded unnecessary to her. Since Zhao Dingshan had even let go of the arrow, how could he care about his words.
The feathered arrow is an attitude and a deterrent.
Shi Fuqiu fell behind in their first encounter.
Concubine Li was really shocked when she received the news at first, but now she has calmed down. So what if Zhao Dingshan surrounded Chang'an City, the imperial city is still trying to catch a turtle in a jar.
Although Shi Fuqiu wanted to defend the city, General Zhao would not attack the city aggressively when the sunset was all over the sky. The Zhao army also needed a night's rest to prepare their troops after traveling a long distance.
Concubine Li asked Lian Yan to notify the Eighth City Defense Department, and Lian Yan and Shi Fuqiu went to Shi Mansion to meet and convene a temporary military meeting.
The reason why Concubine Li was not panicked was because Shi Jiajun was also on his way back to Beijing. Judging from Shi Fuqiu's previous march, it was only two or three days before Shi Jialiang led his army back to Beijing.
However, her original plan was to let Zhao Dingshan recover the new city, but now he returned to Chang'an quietly.
Xiao Guo may have to lose a lot of land this time.
But right now, I can’t care about so much.
As long as they hold on for two or three days, if they can still capture the imperial city before Shi Jiajun returns to Beijing, Shi Jiajun and the garrison in the city will double-team Zhao Jiajun.
At that time, Xiao Yanjun officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the palace. He used imperial power and military power to force Zhao Dingshan to surrender.
When Concubine Li held a military meeting in Shi Mansion, General Zhao was also allocating troops.
Although he returned to Beijing with an army of 210,000, there were only 30,000 who actually belonged to the Zhao family army.
In addition, the number of rebels in Chang'an City is actually not inferior to his.
What's more, the city gate is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the siege of the city is actually not easy to fight.
Old General Zhao looked in the direction of the palace. He asked the raven to bring the news inside, but he had no idea what was going on in the palace at the moment.
Logically speaking, it was time for Xia Chu to let the raven deliver the news...
Xia Chu in the palace did take Raven to find Xiao Mubai. Xiao Mubai was afraid that Raven would not be able to tell clearly and wrote a letter asking him to take him out of the city.
Only the raven could not deliver the letter.
Because there were thousands of mausoleum gates waiting outside the imperial city, and the only order given by the gate master was to keep an eye on the raven.
The master of the Ling Sect knows the strength of the raven better than anyone else.
Therefore, when the people in Lingmen saw that he suddenly returned to Beijing today, they did not alert him. Instead, they developed a line array specifically for Raven to restrain him.
The linear formation was constantly slashing and changing.
Although it was not possible to kill or capture the raven alive at the moment, it was still feasible if it was just to stop him.
Therefore, Raven carried the letter and returned to the imperial city without success for the first time.
Xia Chu was quite frustrated by this, and Xiao Mubai comforted him in a joking tone: "Tomorrow's battle will only depend on the tacit understanding between your ancestors and grandchildren."
Xia Chu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and said angrily: "I don't know anything about fighting, and you don't know anything about it. There's no tacit understanding."
Xiao Mubai curved his lips and smiled slyly: "Then we can only look at the tacit understanding between our grandfather, grandson, and son-in-law..."
Xia Chu looked stunned, then punched him: "You are still in the mood to take advantage of me at this time."
The uneasy hearts of the surrounding city guards were relieved by the expressions on the faces of the young Marquis and Xiao Mubai, and the originally tense and depressing atmosphere seemed to be less heavy.
And the people who stayed behind closed doors in the city also got a little bit of news from the rebels who were coming and going in a hurry.
Especially when Zhao Xingwen stood on the city wall and screamed "Old General Zhao is back".
It was like shining a ray of light in the darkness where they were facing an abyss.
If the previous expectation that the young Marquis could miraculously defeat Xiao Yanjun was an extravagant hope that deceived oneself and others, then the news that General Zhao returned to Beijing turned this extravagant hope into a natural hope.
After all, it is in the hearts of the people in Chang'an and in the hearts of everyone in the Xiao Kingdom.
Zhao Dingshan is an invincible and ever-victorious general.
It's their belief...
The twilight is closing, and the lanterns are starting to turn on.
The city of Chang'an, which had been exposed to the flames of war, looked much softer under the dim light.
In Kunning Palace, even if it is night, the bright lights are still shining in every corner.
The lights illuminate the pavilions and pavilions from bottom to top, making them appear more majestic, gorgeous, and beautiful.
At the beginning of Xia Chu, after parting ways with Xiao Mubai from the city tower, he rushed to see the emperor again, and was filled with emotion when he saw his face sleeping peacefully.
This emperor was capable of ruling the country with his literary skills, and was able to stabilize the country with military force. He was good at using imperial power to strategize, but after all, he made a mistake and missed a step, which led to his deep sleep.
How many unknown secrets are hidden in his heart, and why would he poison his own son
I don't know whether it was the war in recent days that distracted Xiao Mubai's mind, or whether Xiao Mubai didn't want to think about it.
In these days, Xiao Mubai never mentioned anything except asking if Emperor Xia Chu was awake, and he never even came to Kunning Palace to take a look.
On the contrary, Xiao Zimu would take the time to come every day, whisper warm words in the emperor's ear, gossip about interesting childhood stories, and try to wake up the emperor.
He should be a good emperor in the future...
On the tower in the afternoon, Xiao Zimu did not face Xia Chu's questions head-on, give a promise or respond.
But Xia Chu still believed so and looked forward to it.
Everyone who has experienced this battle has changed more or less. Even Xiao Muhong seems to have transformed from an innocent girl to a sensible girl overnight.
Xia Chu could face everyone, but the one person he couldn't face so far was Xu Wenlan.
Lan Yuying's disappearance was a heavy blow to Xia Chu, and to Xu Wenlan, it was more than just a blow.
A few days ago, Xia Chu brought Lan Yuying's autographed letter to him from Kunning Palace. Not long after, Lan Yuying disappeared from Kunning Palace.
He still can't tell Xu Wenlan why Lan Yuying alone was kidnapped, and Lan Yuying probably stabbed the emperor in the chest.
Xu Wenlan was also extremely silent on this matter. His taciturn appearance worried even Xiao Mubai.
But the current situation could not tolerate their affection. He and Xiao Mubai were always ready to sacrifice their lives to defend the city. The relationship between Lan Yuying and the emperor was not worth mentioning at the moment.
The night is getting darker, and the brightly lit Kunning Palace is located in the center of the harem. It has not been baptized by the flames of war, but it is still as beautiful as a palace of gods.
But the sky is gradually getting brighter again.
Shi Fuqiu was besieged by Zhao's army, and he was bound to attack the imperial city more ferociously. This peaceful time was like a flash in the pan. Xia Chu sighed out the window at the cool night.
When will this battle end
