Chapter 1400

The visitor took out a note from his hiding place. On it was Meng Yi's letter to the king's gate. He handed it to a guard next to the king's gate and handed it to the king's gate.

The king's gate couldn't wait to receive the letter, read the content three times five divided by two, and then stared at the visitor: "this, this..."

He didn't ask about the later words. Although Meng Yi replied to the letter and wrote a lot of words on it, he didn't see a useful message from the beginning to the end.

Meng Yi told himself to defend the city with all his strength, saying that they would assemble a large army to support as soon as possible, but the top didn't say how many people could come and how long they could get to Chifeng City.

Moreover, the following words made the wangmen feel that monk Zhang Er was confused. Meng Yi even told him that if he couldn't keep it, he needed to be prepared for evacuation.

However, Meng Yi didn't say how to withdraw and how long he could keep it.

The king's gate looked at the messenger in front of him: "please don't give me your advice. What does the governor mean by this letter, or does the governor have other words to tell you? Yes, yes, it must be so."

The visitor looked at the king's gate and smiled but didn't answer, but his eyes looked at the guard maid next to him. The king's gate immediately woke up and hurried out all the others, leaving only his own personal Guard commander and eldest son Wang Jing inside.

"Report back to the Imperial Guard. The imperial guard does have something to say to General Wang in private. General Wang must be clear about the situation in Youzhou. In fact, both the Imperial Guard and General Zhao want to lead the army to come to support as soon as possible. However, there are too few soldiers in all counties in Youzhou now. If you want to hold Chifeng City temporarily, there is no problem, but it is almost impossible to defeat Xianbei army."

Wang men nodded. He didn't know the current situation, but

"Therefore, after discussing with General Zhao, the governor of Mongolia felt that the current plan could only shrink the troops and give up some cities, so as to keep most of the cities of the Tang state in Youzhou."

"Abandon the... Part?" Wang Jing listened on the sidelines and hurriedly asked;

"Young general didn't hear wrong. Besides Chifeng City, dianzi city is also giving up. The army withdrew to Pingquan city to resist Xianbei army at the north foot of Yanshan mountain."

"No..." Wang Jing was about to retort, but was stopped by the king's door.

"Is this the result of the discussion between Meng Taishou and General Zhao?"

"Good!"

"What else did they say, or what would Ben do?"

"Meng Taishou means that he hopes that General Wang can lead his troops to drag Xianbei army for a few days, and buy time for the evacuation of soldiers and people in the other cities. After the brigade retreats to the south of Xiaosigou Town, he will lead the army to break through. Of course, Meng Taishou also said that they are willing to bear the responsibility of losing land together with the general."

"Hiss, empty mouth and white teeth. When the king is accountable, what if they turn their face and refuse to recognize it?" Wang Jing sniffed at the speech and sneered; "Why didn't Montaigne write it in the letter?"

"Not unwilling, but unable!" Facing Wang Jing's sneer, the visitor answered frankly, "the governor said that if the king is willing to trust them, he can do it. If not, he can do it according to his own ideas."

The royal family understands Meng Yi's meaning. If those words are written on the letter and the messenger is caught by Xianbei people, the whole layout will fall into the eyes of Xianbei people. After all, the four counties in Youzhou are empty and Xianbei people know, but only their own people know what the specific situation is.

However, if we don't do what they say, not only Chifeng can't hold on, but also the other cities are estimated to be choking. There are 6000 or 7000 troops in Chifeng City, and there are basically only 1000 or 2000 people in the other cities, which are all on the edge of the grassland. It's very simple for Xianbei army to attack.

"Go on!" After thinking for a moment, the king finally made up his mind.

"Father!" Seeing this situation, Wang Jing quickly opened his mouth and prepared to stop it.

"Don't talk too much. Being a father has his own opinion."

After listening to the words of the king's gate, the visitor didn't hide it any more. He detailed the decision of Meng Yi and Zhao Yu to the king's father and son. Finally, he told the king's gate that Meng Yi had written this strategy in the memorial sent to Luoyang, and this memorial had the joint signature and seal of three people in Yanbei county.

After hearing this, the stone in the heart of the king's gate really fell down. It's false to say not to worry. After all, Meng and Zhao are the confidants of the king of Tang. Although they have known the king of Tang for more than ten years, they have only recently invested in it.

As the defender of a county, the responsibility for losing land is a felony. If Huangfu Chaobo wants to punish him, others have no gossip to say.

At this time, the red soldier stood on the gate of the city wall, and there was no sound of the wind from time to time.

Looking back fiercely, the king's gate said to people: "please tell the two generals that the king's gate will cooperate with their arrangement. However, there are too few troops in Chifeng City, and there are capable people who are familiar with the siege technique in Xianbei army. We can keep it for up to ten days. Now three days have passed and seven days are left. If no one has come to answer, the king's gate can only die in the city to repay the king."

"Don't worry, the prefect. Now that General Zhao has led the troops, it may not take ten days for the prefect to arrange a breakthrough. At that time, cavalry will come to meet the prefect and evacuate."

"It's so expensive!" Then the king's gate made a gesture of invitation, and the visitor also understood it. He immediately bowed his hand and turned around to leave. The king's gate also motioned his eldest son Wang Jing to send it out. Of course, he would have to give him some gifts to show his gratitude. The visitor didn't refuse. He calmly took something from Wang Jing's hand, and then left the Imperial Guard's house and headed towards the south wall under the leadership of the king's gate guard.

……

In the camp of the Chinese army of Xianbei forward, Mo rigen sat on the main seat, and the generals in the tent sat in it. There were roast fresh beef and mutton on on the table in front of everyone. While eating, they talked about the siege of the city in the past two days.

The Xianbei army was not good at attacking the city at first, but in recent years, the eastern Xianbei army once went south twice. Although they were driven back to the depths of the grassland by the Han people, they still learned some superficial things about attacking the city. In addition, the siege ladder provided by gold and wood needles is much better than the ladder they made before. The loss of the siege in these two days is still small, which makes the Xianbei generals very happy.

"General Zuo, are we going to increase the number of people to attack tomorrow? I think the Han people in the city have been unable to support it. We'd better capture the city as soon as possible, so as not to..." what he said was baldness. In these two days, their attack in the West City was very good. For example, they attacked the city twice during the day. Although they were finally driven down, in the siege of Xianbei army, It has never appeared in such an important city that it can attack the city in two days, which greatly increases the confidence of baldness function.

But his suggestion didn't get Mo rigen's consent. It's not that he didn't want to, but the siege ladder provided by Jinmu needle was not enough. They had to give up. However, fortunately, they still had enough time. The army led by Micah still had seven or eight days to go. Both Mo rigen and Jinmu needle were confident in conquering Chifeng City in these days. In fact, for Jinmu needle, The tempo of attack is a little slower, which is better for him.

Because he knows that the siege is a field that has never been involved for him, and the current combat power of Chifeng City just allows him to better adapt or learn the siege. Another point is that the craftsmen he has collected from various tribes of Xianbei people in recent years have not been well trained. Just now someone has provided enough raw materials for these craftsmen to practice more.

As for the insiders in the city, from the current situation, it is not the best time to use it. After all, the war has just begun, and the vigilance in the city is the highest. He doesn't want his arrangement to be empty in the end.
