Chapter 174 Taking Chang'an
Chapter 174 Taking Chang'an
Li Meng was furious when he heard what Li Sa said.

"How can this be done? What will the people do if they rebel!"

Li Sa continued.

"These people are not from Xiliang, so they will die when they die. It was the lord's kindness to them to keep them alive before. Besides, they don't want their lives now. They just demolished their houses."

"But." Just when Li Meng was about to continue speaking, Guo Si interrupted Li Meng's words in an instant.

"Li Sa is right, you just do it."

After Guo Si finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the disbandment of the meeting. After receiving the order, Li Meng immediately ordered his men to start demolishing the houses of the common people living along the city wall.

"You demolished my house, where do I live!"

"Damn you."

"You will die badly"

The people whose houses had been demolished sat on the ground and shouted. Seeing this scene, Li Meng began to think in his heart whether it was right for him to do so, but he couldn't disobey the Lord's order, Li Meng sighed and said to himself.

"What's the use of keeping Chang'an like this? If you don't get popular support, you will perish sooner or later."

Guo Bang was sitting in the mansion, eating rich food and drinking fine wine. Seeing Li Meng walk in, he stood up and asked Li Meng how the city wall was being strengthened.

"My lord, the residential houses along the city wall have been demolished, and the young and able-bodied people have been forcibly recruited into the labor force for repairing the city wall. However, those old people can't charge forward, and can't add bricks and tiles. My lord, please give me a way to deal with it."

Guo Bang took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and asked Li Meng.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Seeing Guo Bang asking, Li Meng cupped his hands and said to Guo Bang.

"My lord, at the end of the day, I suggest that those old people be gathered together and resettled."

"Okay, you can transfer some bricks and tiles and build a place for them to settle down."

Li Meng didn't expect Guo Bang to agree so quickly and didn't react for a while. According to Guo Bang's personality, he should be entangled for a long time, but this time he agreed so readily, which made Li Meng feel strange, but he didn't have time to think about it. Turn around and leave to build a centralized settlement for those old people.

Li Meng came to the city, gathered the old people to settle down, asked the women to cook for the sergeants, and the young men began to build the city wall. This scene was clearly seen by Zhang Liao outside the city. Zhang Liao immediately summoned the people and prepared to attack the city. He didn't want to Give Guo Si a chance to strengthen the city wall.

So under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others began to go to the city to call for battle, but no matter how much Zhao Yun shouted, the people in the city were unwilling to come out, so Zhang Liao ordered people to push the catapult out, let the soldiers adjust the angle of the catapult Put gunpowder on it.

I saw the switch of the catapult was turned on, and the gunpowder was instantly thrown out with the throwing force of the catapult, and it was blown up on the top of the city. Then there was an explosion, and the city wall that had just been reinforced was crumbling from the bombing at this time. The news of Zhang Liao's siege arrived.

Guo Bang and Li Sa came to the top of the city together. Li Meng was overjoyed when he saw Guo Bang coming, thinking that Guo Bang was here to boost morale. Li Meng saluted Guo Bang, and then Guo Bang began to ask about the condition of the city wall.

Li Meng told Guo Bang about the situation one by one, and Guo Bang frowned after hearing this. He never thought that Zhang Liao still had the gunpowder, and said while looking at the bricks and tiles that had just been knocked down from the top of the city.

"Gather the old and the weak, women and children together, and let them stand on the top of the city to protect the city wall. Isn't Ye Xiao going to kill all the wealthy people and stand up for the common people in the world? I will put this commoner on the top of the city today to see See if he likes it or not."

Li Meng was shocked when he heard Guo Bang's words. At this time, he finally understood why he went to see Guo Bang the day before yesterday. Guo Bang was so happy to build houses for these old people. He was waiting here. Li Meng stepped forward to persuade him.

"My lord, you must not do this! Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the people in Chang'an?"

Li Sa echoed Li Meng's words.

"My lord, General Li Meng is right, it must not be like this."

Seeing that the two people who persuaded him had no effect, Guo Bang drew out the long sword around his waist, pointed at them and shouted.

"I am the lord, don't forget your identity and status! Do what you are asked to do, if you don't do so, the city will collapse and we will all die!"

Li Meng and Li Sa saw that Guo Bang was angry, and then looked at Zhang Liao who was constantly bombing under the city wall. Li Meng could only carry out Guo Bang's orders.

Li Meng led the soldiers to the place where the old people lived together.

He ordered the soldiers to take away those old people, women and children. Who among these people heard that Guo Bang was going to use them as human shields, and immediately pulled the soldiers who were going to take them away to sit on the ground, crying.

"You don't have parents? Don't you have wives and daughters? Will your hearts not hurt if you take me to die this time?"

The soldier looked at the old man kneeling on the ground hesitantly, thinking of his old mother in his heart, he couldn't help hesitating for a while.

Just when the soldiers were hesitating, the corporal came over and shouted.

"What are mothers-in-law and mothers doing? You won't be able to take them over later, and you will be the one going up the city wall!"

Under the urging of the corps leader, the soldiers escorted the old woman out. At this time, Zhang Liao saw Guo Si escorting a group of women and children to the city wall, and signaled his men not to throw any more gunpowder, and told Ye Xiao about it.

Ye Xiao asked Zhang Liao to retreat first, Zhang Liao entered the tent and found Zhao Yun also could not help but curse immediately.

"His grandma, this scum of Guo Bang, let these old and weak women and children stand on the top of the city, what should the lord do now, bomb or not."

Zhao Yun was very angry when he knew what had happened, and Zhang Liao looked sad after he finished speaking.

And Ye Xiao was not much better, when he saw this scene, he immediately felt a little sick.After all, Zhang Yuan had only done this to him when he was in Wancheng.

Unexpectedly, Guo Bang learned this so quickly. Not only did Guo Bang do it better than Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan didn't let the pregnant woman go up anyway.

This Guo Bang directly sent the pregnant woman to the city, and when Ye Xiao was worried about what to do, some changes quietly took place in the city of Chang'an.

"Erlang God, then Guo Si regards us as outsiders, do you also treat us as outsiders?"

An old man on the city wall shouted to the sergeant beside him, and the sergeant froze for a moment when he heard the old man yell. Although Guo Bang's sergeants belong to the Xiliang Army in name, most of them are indeed young and strong brought from various places in Chang'an.

These people are all natives of Chang'an. After some persuasion from the old man, many soldiers began to defect.

At this time, Ye Xiao who was outside the city was still puzzled, how could the city gate be opened properly.

"Prefect Ye, please enter the city!"

An old man came out of the city and knelt in front of Ye Xiao's army and said.
