In the evening, in the east of Taicheng, cheers were heard like a tide. At the opening of Donghua Gate, many vehicles were driving into the city with food. The defenders and refugee officials saw this scene and cried with joy, as if they had survived the disaster.

Now it is March of the third year of Taiqing, Taicheng has been besieged for nearly five months, and the food in the city has been almost exhausted, and many people are even forced to eat dead human flesh to fill their hunger. If they cannot escape the siege, the defenders will no longer be able to support them.

The tide of cheers came one after another, hitting the ears of everyone in the city. Beside the street and in the crowd, Li Li was also very excited to see the soldiers entering the city.

The siege of Taicheng has been lifted. No matter how the war develops next, at least the emperor and the crown prince are safe now and the center is safe.

Liang State avoided the tragedy of "brain death" that caused the whole body to become ulcerated, and the wheel of history turned.

This is the result of his efforts for several months. Of course he is excited. As for where the fate of Liang Kingdom will go next, he is not sure, but he can be sure:

The situation is not optimistic and is likely to deteriorate.

The Battle of Jiankang exposed the weak nature of the strong and strong foreign country. Whether it was the two Wei countries in the north, or the royal family members from all over the country, Mu Shou and local snakes, it was seen that the court was full of gold and jade.

Hou Jing, a stray dog, could actually turn Jiankang upside down. The court had hundreds of thousands of troops, but was almost bitten to death by the stray dog. Seeing the weak nature of the court, the ambitious people could not burn the fire of ambition?

So, there is still chaos.

Even though the Hou Jing Rebellion "ends hastily", the civil war between the Sect King is highly likely to break out. The Crown Prince, who did not perform well in this Jiankang battle, will definitely not be able to suppress the ambitious people after he succeeds to the throne in the future.

With the royal family inside and the kings are ready to move, and with strong neighbors outside, the future of Liang State is still not optimistic.

Li Li felt that once the old emperor passed away, the domestic situation in Liang State would gradually lose control.

Not to mention that Hou Jing is now very good, his strength is still there, and he is like a confidant. If he doesn't get rid of it for a day, the Liang Kingdom will not be at peace for a day.

While thinking about it, Xiao Qin and Liu Yan, who were watching the fun, pulled Li Li and asked: "Li Lang! You have to tell me how you flew in that day!"

"Okay, my husband is interested, I will introduce you one or two days later."

"Then I want to fly too!"

"Mr. I can't make a decision on this matter, so I need permission from the higher authorities."

Xiao Qin said again: "Li Lang, I heard from General Li that you are outside and have given many ideas to your brother, and he has won many battles! It turns out that you are so good at fighting!"

Xiao Qin became more and more excited. A few days ago, after Li Li "falls from the sky", Li Lang, who was traveling with him, had already told him about Li Li's situation.

"Mr. It's one thing to come up with an idea, but it's another thing to come up with or not. Without the soldiers fighting bloody battles, I wouldn't be able to achieve even if I came up with a hundred good ideas."

"You are always so humble. Can't you be able to praise you?"

"Humility is a virtue, and humbleness is telling the truth. In war, no matter how exquisite the plan is, it depends on the soldiers. In the future, the husband will rely on the assistants to do things, so he must treat the assistants kindly."

"I know, I know." After Xiao Qin said, he felt a little regretful and sighed: "Oh, you have made so many contributions and will definitely be promoted. I want you to be an assistant, but it seems that it will not be possible."

Li Li said: "Mr. I am joking. If you make a big mistake in your humble position, it's good if you don't get severely punished. How can you expect an promotion?"

Xiao Qin and Liu Yan felt incredible: "Why did you make a big mistake? Who slandered people randomly!"

Li Li looked at the soldiers who were tying up the Jingzhou army on the street and knew that there must be an argument for his hostage to the Prince of Xiangdong. Then, with the siege of Taicheng, the statement may be coming soon.

At this moment, a group of soldiers approached behind him, separated the crowd and walked towards Li Li.

The leaders were the stern-faced Sheep and Li Lang, who were still holding shackles in his hands.

Xiao Qin and Liu Yan were shocked when they saw this, but heard Yang Feng shouting: "Li Li!"

When Li Li saw that these two people came to find him and was still so 'outfit', he understood most of the time, but Xiao Qin and Liu Yan were confused and said that Li Li was slandered and wanted to be imprisoned with unjust regret.

The people watching the fun around them all took a step aside to see this.

Yang Feng continued, "You hold the royal family and nobles hostage, and you are very disrespectful to the prince of Xiangdong! Now I will be ordered to lock you up and imprison you, and wait for the death toll!"

Li Lang then stepped forward and "locked" Li Li. When Li Li saw this person, he kept winking at him and sighed, "There are many tricks in the city."

The "behind the scenes director" was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he specially sent these two teams to lead the team to arrest people. Then he had to be more aware of his character and acted in the full set.

Li Li was "locked and taken away" by Li Lang. Seeing the crowd watching him look at him like a ghost, he struggled hard:

"I have fought for the prince, and made contributions to Daliang. I want to see Your Highness, and I want to see Your Majesty!"

......

At the mouth of the Qinhuai River, ships at the docks are unloading grain. This is a fleet from Jingzhou, the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and was ordered to transport grain to Jiankang.

A total of 200,000 hu can alleviate the urgent needs of the government army.

Wang Lin, who was supervising the ship, came to the shore and found out the current situation. When the fleet was quarrying, he learned that the siege of Taicheng had been resolved, but he was not sure about the specific situation.

A Jingzhou military officer who came to handle the handover explained: "Now, the traitor has not left Jiankang yet, and he still occupies Shitou City to resist stubbornly, but it is said that he has already submitted a petition..."

The siege of Taicheng has been lifted, which means that the royal army broke through the rebels from the east to intercept, recovered the Eastern Palace, and connected with Taicheng. However, the rebels who had besieged Taicheng before were still powerful.

It entrenched on the west side of Taicheng, in the area of ​​Shitou City by the river, and resisted stubbornly.

Moreover, the rebels also captured Guangling, the lower reaches of Jiangbei, and now it is said that they want to "make meritorious service" and retreat to Jiangbei to defend Huainan for the court.

No one believes this kind of nonsense, but the rebels are numerous and their strength is still there. The court is eager to eliminate them. In addition, the supply of food and grass for the official army is also quite tight, so Jiankang is still fighting.

The battlefield is between Taicheng and Stone City.

However, Taicheng's rescue means that the rebels will not stay in Jiankang for long and will retreat sooner or later. Perhaps in a while, Jiankang will be peaceful.

Wang Lin could understand and breathed a sigh of relief: Just let Taicheng clear the siege, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable once Hou Jing succeeded.

However, he heard a news halfway through that the Prince of Xiangdong, who led his army to serve the king, was held hostage by Li Li, the Dongye Supervisor who served in front of the Prince of Poyang, and entered Taicheng.

The news was said by the military officers in the Jingzhou Army who were serving the king. After hearing this, Wang Lin couldn't believe it, and couldn't believe that Li Li dared to do such a thing, so after arriving in Jiankang, he heard it indirectly.

The official answered readily: "General, the court has taken action on this matter, and the murderer has been taken to prison by Yousi Suo and will be severely punished!"

"Severe punishment?!"

Wang Lin became nervous when she heard this, but heard the official say, "However, it is said that this matter is understandable, so the prince of Xiangdong pleads for that person."

"The prince of Poyang also pleaded for mercy, and in the end, the prince also pleaded for that man. It is said that the emperor quickly pardoned his sins for the sake of the prince's mercy and released him."

"Is that right? The Crown Prince pleads with mercy...so that's it."

Wang Lin was very smart. She figured out the meaning of this catch and release, thanked her, and walked forward.

As he walked, he smiled and shook his head: "You can think of it too, but I don't know how to do it..."

Indeed, Wang Lin couldn't figure out how Li Li managed to host Xiao Fang and others, and then he could escape the Jingzhou Army generals' launching a military conspiracy.

He couldn't understand what Li Li wanted to hold Xiao Fang and others hostage.

So, he had to have a good talk with Li Li.
Chapter completed!
