Even winning and winning, after a long battle, I can't believe what Tunliu is facing now.

Since the Dai army wanted to attack them, why did they abandon the city?

Abandoned city is attacking them, isn't this superfluous.

Ying He asked angrily, "Where is the enemy army now? How is the battle on the plain? How about Ying Dae? What happened to Pu Ji!"

The messengers said again and again: "The enemy did not besiege the city, but occupied all the main roads on the plain. The nearest group of troops is still eighty miles away from Tunliu. We can't get through at all, and General Ying Gan can't get out!"

Several generals drove away one after another, which was tantamount to cutting off Tunliu and Pu Ji in one fell swoop.

The connection between the two cities was cut off.

Win until: "Mr. Chang'an, hurry up and ask for help. We must increase our troops. The vast plains are occupied by cavalry. We have no way to escape! For the present plan, we have to defend. We have a city, which is our only hope."

Cheng Jiao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said in dismay: "Yes, yes, reinforcements, reinforcements!"

Yinghe said: "Now, we don't know when the Dai army will come to besiege Tunliu and ask for help. It can only be now. Cheng Jiao wrote a letter to inform the war here."

"Report!!! It's not good, general, the army dispatched [-] troops on behalf of the army, and surrounded the city!"

"What? Where did they get so many horses?"

Cheng Jiao and the others put on their armor one after another, and rushed to the tower. At this time, the Qin army lined up in an orderly row on the tower wall.

Prior to this, all the Qin troops on the plain fled the plain, and more than 1 people were killed or injured before they could barely rush back to the city.

The wounded barracks were no longer equipped, and even borrowed private houses.

Cheng Jiao looked at the Daijun one mile away, and the cavalry were lined up neatly.

There are infantry standing with spears.

He stared at Tun Liu eagerly.

Ying He looked over and said, "Cheng Jiao, the Dai army should not attack the city."

Only then did Cheng Jiao realize: "They don't have siege equipment, so they can't attack the city."

At this time, Tunliu was besieged, but it was impossible to come to Kecheng without equipment, Cheng Jiao said: "What are they trying to do?"

Ying Zhi frightened: "I'm afraid, they want to starve us to death."

In fact, at this time, the battle-hardened soldiers of the city towers all saw the enemy's intentions, and all of them showed fear. If there was no food and grass, the city would not be able to defend at all.

Ying He said: "For the current plan, we can only wait for the grain in Guanzhong. Once the grain trucks in Guanzhong can reach the Jinyang Plain, we can take the lead in the attack, and cooperate with the inside and outside to defeat the enemy."

Cheng Jiao nodded and said: "What uncle said is very true, pass on my general order, and guard the tower day and night. If there is any movement from the acting army, report it to me immediately!"

Then, one day!

Three days, five days.

When Cheng Jiao came to the tower again, he saw that the Dai army in front of him actually retreated.

For a while, Qin Jun on the tower looked at each other, and left?do not fight?

Cheng Jiao immediately ordered people to investigate. Under the hopeful mood of all the generals, the messenger brought back the news: "General, the last general has been investigated clearly. The acting army has retreated for more than a hundred miles and is stationed."

This news is undoubtedly the best news. For more than a hundred miles, if someone is sent to Guanzhong, no one can stop it.

Cheng Jiao said, "We'll wait and see for a few days."

Three days later, the messenger sent the news that the Dai army had dispatched 5 horses to Puji, and the Dai army a hundred miles away began to camp and set up a stronghold, and was not prepared to attack Tunliu at all.

At this moment, Cheng Jiao finally knew that the Dai army was not planning to attack Tunliu.

But why the Daijun did this, no one can guess.

But at least one thing, Cheng Jiao knew that as long as there was food in Tunliu, he would not be afraid of Daijun at all!

Since there is no siege blockade.

Then we can send envoys, Cheng Jiao and others finally couldn't bear it anymore, they continued to ask for help, and brought the news here back to Guanzhong.

Lu Buwei looked at the letter in his hand in the Xiangfu, and then handed it to Sima Kong.

Sima Kong said: "Prime Minister, from what I've seen, the family of the Ying family may be in great trouble this time. The Prime Minister should be very careful."

Lu Buwei naturally knew what Sima Kong meant.

Although we want to destroy Chengjiao, we must not set ourselves on fire.

Lu Buwei pondered for a moment, and said: "You write a letter for the truth, and say that there are not enough soldiers in Guanzhong, and one hundred thousand troops are still in the hands of Marquis Wu, and now that the severe winter is coming, if you have the advantage of the city, you can refuse to defend it. , As for the food, the truth will send people to deliver it."

After hearing this, Simakong thought about it carefully, and said: "The prime minister has sent food and grass, and Chengjiao has a city to withstand the harsh winter. It is indeed necessary to stick to it. If the prime minister does this, no one can make irresponsible remarks."

Lu Buwei said: "But Cheng Jiao said in the letter that the Han Wei alliance secretly attacked the grain and grass transported from Guanzhong last time, and asked the truth to send an army to escort it. What do you think?"

Sima Kong smiled and said: "Send, of course it is dispatch, if it is still successfully attacked, what does it have to do with the prime minister?"

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and laughed.

After the two sang and harmonized, they made a plan.

As long as Cheng Jiao is dead, at that time, Lu Buwei will have a lot of ways to mediate the courtiers of Chu State.

You don't even have a prince, and if you don't rely on me, Lu Buwei, who else could it be? Could it be that Yingzheng who has not yet taken charge of the government?What's more, at that time, once I have the identity of Ying Zheng's father, I will be the uncrowned king.

Lu Buwei said with a smile: "If Chengjiao has no food and grass, how long do you think it will be defeated?"

Simakong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Well, I'm afraid this is what happened before the heavy snowfall."

Lu Buwei nodded. Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer. He really hoped that day would come sooner.

Lu Buwei suddenly said: "I heard that the Empress Dowager is ill. As a Minister of Tuogu, it is really a crime that I didn't visit once. Prepare the car!"

Lu Buwei came to Ganquan Palace.

Seeing no one around, I was really inexplicably surprised, "Isn't it here?"

However, he suddenly heard the sound of the zither coming from inside, and knew that Zhao Ji was inside, so he opened the door and walked a few steps to Zhao Ji's bedroom.

He was just at the door when he saw Zhao Ji's appearance. He hadn't seen Zhao Ji for two months. At this time, Zhao Ji was a little frail, wearing a golden crown on her head, her brows were full of plum blossoms, and her complexion was like a spring breeze. His eyes were watery, and even Lu Buwei couldn't help feeling a little turbulent when he saw it.

To his surprise, Zhao Ji's complexion and the joy in her eyes were colors that Lu Buwei had never seen before, and a strange man sat opposite Zhao Ji playing the piano less than half a foot away.

At this time, although Zhao Ji's hands were playing the piano, her eyes never left the man opposite.

Lu Buwei couldn't help frowning, stepped forward, revealed his figure, and said: "Queen Mother, I have come to see you."

The soft voice stopped abruptly, Su Jie closed his eyes and remained silent.

Zhao Ji was shocked when she heard the sound, and when she saw someone coming, she moved back unconsciously, and this scene naturally fell into Su Jie's eyes.

Zhao Ji said: "Why are you here?"

Lu Buwei said: "I heard that the Empress Dowager is ill. I didn't come to visit because of the busy government affairs. Please don't blame the Empress Dowager."

Zhao Ji straightened her mind and said, "I'm fine, since I've seen it, you should step back."

Lu Buwei straightened up and saw that Zhao Ji's words were cold, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. He came here today in a good mood, and was going to talk to Zhao Ji, so that Zhao Ji could see the situation clearly and Zhao Ji could Submit, why is there an extra person? Afterwards, Lu Buwei looked at Su Jie and said, "I have something important to tell the Queen Mother, you can go down."

Zhao Ji instinctively grabbed Su Jie's sleeve, and hid herself behind Su Jie, saying, "No."

Seeing Zhao Ji's scene, Lu Buwei looked at Su Jie in disbelief, his eyes were full of anger, staring at Su Jie angrily, "Didn't you hear the truth?"

Su Jie narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Buwei, and said, "Prime Minister, the queen mother doesn't want to talk to you, but you still want to speak out to persecute me. The prime minister's behavior is the next crime! Or you didn't pay attention to the queen mother at all, and didn't take the king's words seriously. Does mother care about it?"

Lu Buwei was furious, and said: "What is your identity, dare to talk to the real minister like this, the real minister is here to visit the queen mother, what is the purpose of your provocative words here, could it be, which country are you from?"

Su Jie smiled and said, "I am the Queen Mother's musician!"

Lu Buwei glared at Su Jie angrily, and said: "What a musician of the Empress Dowager, do you know who the Empress Dowager is?"

Su Jie refused to budge, looked at Lu Buwei, and continued: "Although I am the queen mother's musician, do you know that besides being a musician, I am also someone of the queen mother."

Su Jie's words surprised Lu Buwei.

Even Zhao Ji didn't expect Su Jie to say that, and she was suddenly excited.

Even the hand grabbing Su Jie's sleeve tightened a bit.

Lu Buwei couldn't see how special Zhao Ji was to the man in front of him. At this moment, his anger was overwhelming.

I'm afraid this person has the same idea as himself?

Looking at the glamorous Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei swallowed his saliva.

Lu Buwei took a deep breath and said: "Queen Dowager, this person's frivolous words have insulted the royal family and the king. Please punish the Queen Mother, otherwise"

Su Jie laughed, and said: "Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei, otherwise what, or tell the king that I insulted the queen mother with words, right, you go and sue, if you dare to tell the king, I really think highly of you."

Lu Buwei's heart moved immediately, and he asked, "You, what do you mean?"

Su Jie sneered and said, "I don't know that Prime Minister Lu has heard a saying, what is a thief called catch a thief, and this thief is born out of nothing, so I can easily explain it to the king, but what about you, Prime Minister? What you have done can be said to be outraged by both men and gods."

Lu Buwei was alert all over his body, and his whole body became sober in an instant.

I was so scared that even Zhao Ji couldn't think that Su Jie would say this. Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Ji, and suddenly understood, and said: "The queen mother told you? Who are you? The queen mother even Will tell you everything?"

Su Jie said: "Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager does not want to tell the King because this matter will cause a lot of trouble. The Prime Minister calculated his whole life to get the wealth and power he has today. , Ming advances and retreats, otherwise a lifetime of wisdom will be ruined, this is probably not what the prime minister wants to see."

Lu Buwei stared at Su Jie, and said, "You don't need to teach me the truth."

After speaking, Lu Buwei left.

Only then did Zhao Ji's tense body relax, she blushed and let go of Su Jie's sleeves, but her face was bright red.

Su Jie asked: "What I said just now, was what you thought?"

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Zheng'er has no foundation in Qin. If someone with a heart wants to take advantage of this, it will definitely be detrimental to Zheng'er. I don't want Zheng'er to know about this."

Su Jie looked at Zhao Ji and said: "In order to protect the king, you are willing to be blackmailed by Lu Buwei? Is it right to keep him secret? Then let me ask you, do you want Lu Buwei to die or want Lu Buwei to retire? I can do it for you." arrive."

Chapter 363 I don't know, I don't know anything

Cheng Jiao looked at the letter in his hand from Guanzhong in the hall, and the rest of the generals all looked at Cheng Jiao intently.

Cheng Jiao's expression was complicated and heavy, he slapped the letter in his hand to the table beside him, and said: "Uncle, Lu Buwei refuses to send troops to rescue, as for the reason, Uncle will watch for himself."

Only then did Yinghe and the others take the letter from the future, and Lu Buwei let them stick to it, the reason being that there was not enough troops!

Yingzhi and the others naturally knew that the soldiers in Guanzhong were indeed insufficient, and it was impossible to dispatch the soldiers from Hangu Pass to the party, and no one dared to mobilize the soldiers from the four passes.

As for the remaining 10,000+ troops in Guanzhong, they are indeed on the frontier now, and they knew this in Xianyang.

Ying looked straight at Chengjiao, and then said: "Mr. Chang'an, if Guanzhong can reinforce the food and grass again, our city will be a strong city, so there will be no worries. Even if Guanzhong cannot increase troops, it will not be a big problem. Just wait for the heavy snow. Just come."

Cheng Jiao nodded, this was considered a blessing among misfortunes.

Everyone withdrew from the council, and Cheng Jiao came to the tower full of thoughts, and murmured: "It's late autumn, and in more than ten days, it will be winter."

Right now, the best news is that the acting army is stationed a hundred miles away, except for cutting off the information of the two cities, they are not prepared to attack Tunliu at all.

Cheng Jiao and the others waited hard for more than ten days.

Seeing that the grain and grass in the city were still used for one month, the news of the frontline supplies finally came back, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Tunliu.

Without food, the soldiers and the common people were in constant panic.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin State were full of resentment, but they had never been so aggrieved before.

A group of generals waited bitterly at the gate of Tunliu City, until a galloping horse came from a distance and said, "General, it's not good, food and grass have been robbed again!"

This time, Cheng Jiao finally couldn't bear the blow, he immediately became unsteady, and fell straight down. If he hadn't won and had quick eyes and quick hands to catch Cheng Jiao, it might have been an accident.

The soldiers at the gate of the city suddenly burst into an uproar.

Ying Zhi straightened his helmet, got off his horse and asked, "Where's the army escorted by Guanzhong? Where's the food?"

Tanma Road: "Guanzhong dispatched 2 horses to escort, but this time, Han Wei dispatched 4 people, and ran away directly after burning the food, grass and luggage. The remaining food and grass can only be used for two months at most, and the warm clothes for winter are all burned."

When Cheng Jiao woke up again, he was already on the bed in the county government. He looked at the group of people in front of him and said, "There must be no chaos in the city. Generals, we can find a way to deal with food and grass, but we must not let it go." The soldiers mutinied."

Everyone's face is heavy.

Now Tunliu has fallen into a desperate situation of lack of food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside.

Ying He said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chang'an, the current food and grass in the city is enough for two months. If you save food, it should be enough for three months. Now, it depends on who can last till the end."

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside.

It could be heard from far away into the house, Cheng Jiao was extremely angry, not because he was in serious health condition, but when he saw the changes outside, he immediately sat up.

Zhao Cheng ran in in a panic and said, "Generals, the army has besieged the city. Now that the news of the shortage of food and grass in the village has spread, the morale of the soldiers has dropped. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be no need to wait until it's too late." Siege the city on behalf of the country."
