A rare quiet day.

There is no deafening war drum, desolate and melodious horn, nor does it make people cry for death with fear, and there is a wailing heart.

With a shout, a huge rock bomb flew over the city and bombarded heavily on the already dilapidated city tower. After a loud bang, the city gate tower collapsed half of it.

The soldiers who were curled up against the battlements were not surprised. They rolled their eyes and then closed their eyes half-closed. Even without attack, this kind of bombardment would not stop.

Even in the middle of the night, outside the city would make such a call from time to time, and everyone was used to it. A big-headed soldier ran over with enthusiasm, and brought back a pile of broken wood in the ruins, adding firewood to the fire. The broken wood was very easy to burn, and the fire suddenly became prosperous.

Until now, everyone is a little numb.

Why do you want to fight? Who will fight? These are nothing more important. Anyway, when the drums of war are sounded, you will hold a knife and carry a gun and push it up. If you don’t kill people, you will kill you. There is nothing to think about.

"The team is the young New Year today!" A soldier in his early twenties held a spear and leaned tightly against a big man with a strip of cloth wrapped around his head beside him. He said that the blood on the strip of cloth had turned black and covered with dirt. The man's face was also black and black, and the original color could not be seen.

He had originally closed his eyes to rest, but after hearing this, he opened his eyes, his eyes a little confused: "What day is today?"

"Twenty-three!" Xiaobing looked a little excited. "Where is the New Year! From today on, even if it is the New Year, your family should now remove dust, sacrifice to the kitchen, and paste Spring Festival couplets!"

"Where is your home?"

"My home is in Heyang!" Xiaobing licked his lips. "At this time of year, the family makes dumplings, cook noodles, get up and puts the dumplings on the noodles! The dumplings my mother made are the most delicious. Unfortunately, I haven't eaten them for two years. Although I ate a few of them in the military camp last year, they are not delicious at all."

"When year did you join the imperial guard?" the team asked.

"Last year, I was in Heyang Army. During the election, I was conscripted for the imperial guards because of my bravery." Xiaobing said. "I didn't expect that I was so unlucky, so I encountered this year. If I were still in Heyang, I could still eat dumplings made by my mother."

The man looked at the other party with regret. This kid still had a family in Heyang, and he was much stronger than him. He had become a lonely man. However, Heyang is not peaceful now. I heard from the whistleman that Daliang has now built a defense line against the Tang army with Heyang, Bianzhou and Xuzhou as the center. Heyang is facing the powerful Tang army of the Right Guard. Once the battle starts, I don’t know if this kid’s home can be kept.

The team that has experienced more things is very clear that when the battle comes, the lives of the common people will be like a candle in the wind. If there is a slight movement, they will be destroyed.

As footsteps sounded, a group of soldiers walked up to the city with baskets of steamed buns and big buckets, knocking on the wall of the bucket hard and shouting: "Brothers, it's time to eat!"

"Are there any dumplings?" the soldier jumped up and asked loudly: "It's the Little New Year to celebrate this day!"

"I think you are so beautiful, and I have dumplings. If you have black buns, you can enjoy it secretly!" The chef sneered: "I don't know how many people in the city, but there is only one bun a day."

The soldier suddenly felt relieved and whispered: "It's the Little New Year to celebrate this day!"

"It's the Little New Year today, so Your Majesty also has a reward. Today I have meat soup!" The chef knocked on the bucket and said with a smile.

These words made the soldiers in this area excited and all surrounded them.

After a while, Xiaobing held a black bun in one hand and a bowl of clear water soup in the other, sighing: "What kind of broth is this?"

The team laughed and said, "You, be content, at least there is still some oil in the bowl. Chang'an has been surrounded for so long, so how can you find meat? Even if there is one, it is not something that we like us can enjoy. These so-called broths are probably made of a sheep rack and made countless pots of soup! Eat quickly. If you eat fast enough, you can also make a bowl of soup and drink it. If you eat slowly, you will have nothing."

The soldier stopped making a sound and drank the soup in the bowl cleanly, then ran to the leader. There was only one black bun at a meal, but as long as you drink the soup quickly enough, you can still serve another bowl, even if there is only a few oils? It is better to have it than not!

I don’t have enough oil and meat and always feel hungry.

In fact, Team Zheng’s idea is not wrong.

No matter when, there is always inequality between people.

Someone once said that only death is equal to everyone. In fact, this is not the case. Even if it is death, the difference between people is still very large.

Some people can die peacefully, with satisfaction, with dignity, while others can only die in sorrow, with anger, and with unwillingness.

Power, money, status, let some people be high in life, and after death, they will still allow these people to enjoy privileges and honors for the last time.

No one can come back from the underworld alive, so if you become a ghost, there will be no inequality, and no one will know.

While the soldiers were drinking more oil, there was still a table full of delicacies in front of Zhu Youyu and others.

"The enemy soldiers are exhausted!" Zhu Youyu looked at Dai Chao and Sheng Zhonghuai on the opposite side with some excitement, and raised his wine glass: "Wang Shu is back. This time the third brother's tone is not that hard. He kept shouting to kill me a few times, but this time he proposed that as long as I open the city to surrender, I can spare me and never die. Hehe! I can spare me and never die!"

"I'm afraid he still won't give up." Dai Chao said: "If I expected it was right, he might have to fight a few more times before he could really give up."

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded and said, "I must fight again. The peace of the past two days is just an action taken by him to boost the morale of the army and rest the soldiers. But if we once again smash the attack of the Third Highness again, he will have to seriously consider our proposal."

"That's right." Dai Chao nodded and said, "He had to consider the situation in the whole world. If the stalemate continues like this, it will be a loss for all of us in the end."

Whether it is Dai Chao or Sheng Zhonghuai, the reason why they still have confidence in Luoyang and Chang'an has become an isolated city is the situation in the world.

If Li Ze, the fisherman, was not being watched by the side, Chang'an would not be able to be defended at the moment. Not to mention attacking, Zhu Youzhen only needed to trap Chang'an for three or five months, and Chang'an would collapse without fighting. The Chang'an City, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered, all basic production and living materials were imported from the outside. Once it was besieged, there was no possibility of defending it.

What's more, the relationship between the two parties is complicated and complicated. Officials and soldiers are familiar with each other and even have friendships. It is a situation where relatives and friends are everywhere.

"Today's Little New Year, Your Majesty should reward the three armies with great rewards!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Gold, silver and jewelry cannot be filled with food, and cannot keep it cold. What's the use of keeping it? It's better to give it to the soldiers to inspire the hearts of the soldiers. If you can win the next key battle, you can force the third Your Highness to negotiate with us. Even if the third Your Highness is unwilling, you will want to balance Cao Xuan, Xuan Wu Zhu Chi, Zhong Wu Song Ke, and Zhong Wu Song Ke will force him to agree. Now these people are under tremendous pressure from the Tang army, and we are gathered under Chang'an City and more than 100,000 elite troops in Daliang have been killed by each other."

"Of course." Zhu Youyu nodded repeatedly: "After this battle, these 100,000 imperial guards can really take over me. Let's do it slowly in the future. Zhonghuai, you are in charge of government affairs, and my father-in-law and I will definitely command the entire army and defeat the third brother again. Come and drink and win!"

Zhu Youyu raised his wine glass high.

In Chang'an City, in Hao Ren's house, Xu Chong sat cross-legged in the house, and in front of him, there was a map of the entire Chang'an. At this moment, almost all the charcoal firewood in Chang'an City was confiscated and distributed and used in a unified manner. I don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles were trembling in the quilt, but in Hao Ren's study, the earth dragon was still burning as warm as spring.

"General Xu, my people are all concentrated in Xuanzhimen, and this is also the place where we launch it. In these places, I have also arranged manpower in advance. When launching, the brothers in these places will set fires at the same time to create chaos." Hao Ren pointed to some small black dots with special signs on the map and said.

“Where are these?”

"These places are all places where food, medicine and military equipment are located." Hao Ren said: "Of course, our brothers cannot enter these places, they just create chaos nearby, but it only takes chaos to be enough. Once there are police in these places, the enemy will have to rescue them."

"I also contacted many hidden brothers. At that time, they will also move at the same time, set fire and assassinate. As long as it can cause chaos in the city, they will do it without hesitation." Another person in the house said in a deep voice. This person is Shi Hong's confidant. This time he sneaked into the city to contact Fan Sheng's old subordinates in the city. "At the same time, we also contacted some imperial guards based on the list left by Fan Zhusi during his lifetime. After Xuanzhimen started, I will take some brothers to encourage them to raise an uprising immediately."

"Not bad!" Xu nodded with full intention.

"The most important thing now is that after we control Xuanzhi Gate, we can only last for half an hour at most. General Xu, look, here, there are elite imperial guards stationed here, and here, and there is a military camp of the City Guarding Division. If the troops outside the city cannot arrive in time, it will be difficult for me to withstand the opponent's counterattack with the thousand men in my hands and the five hundred men you brought." Hao Ren looked at the other party with some concern and said.

"Don't worry about this." Xu Chong said affirmatively: "The Third Highness has gathered 5,000 cavalry and will attack Xuanzhi Sect at that time. It only takes us half an hour to hold on and the big thing will be settled."
