Chapter 722 The Ruthless Way!
Outside Chang’an City, the constant shouting continued for an hour.
During this period, no one could hear Liu Bei yelling at the city wall.
Maybe he was really tired, Liu Bei stopped shouting, and he turned to Fazheng to reveal that Fazheng was looking into the distance.
But after seeing a few miles away, I could see a river faintly.
This made Fazheng’s face very ugly, he sighed softly, and said softly, “My lord, until now, I don’t understand where those fifty thousand troops have gone, they really want to lure Weishui.
“If the city of Chang’an is really flooded, we really have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth!”
Liu Bei also sighed to himself: “Xiaozhi, you said that Liu Bian is really willing to risk the world’s “four or six zeros”? Do you want the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this city to be buried with me? 35
Fazheng said: “Lord, look at Liu Bian’s journey along the way, and the strategies he has come up with are all unexpected. If it was ten days ago, if he had not made a move, I still don’t believe it, but now… …”
“What’s more, even if he did this to scare us, we can withstand it, but what about the soldiers under his command?”
“What about the rest of the people in the city? They don’t simply think that Liu Bian is intimidating us. As long as the soldiers and the people believe this, it doesn’t matter whether we believe it or not.”
“Do you think we can defend Chang’an City by blocking the livelihood of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians?
“Liu Bian’s conspiracy is really insidious, he counts everyone in Chang’an City!”
Fa Zheng’s first words made Liu Bei a little unconvinced, because from the bottom of his heart, he still didn’t believe that Liu Bian was so courageous, but after listening to these explanations.
He instantly understood that it didn’t matter whether they believed it or not, what mattered was that the ordinary people believed that they wanted to live.
Thinking of this, the sadness on Liu Bei’s face became even more obvious, and he said in distress, “Xiaozhi, what should we do now?”
Fa Zheng said: “My lord, we have two paths to take, and we cannot decide how to choose our subordinates.
“Two ways? Which way?” Liu Bei asked anxiously.
Fa Zhengdao said: “First, we withdraw from Chang’an City, retreat to Yizhou, and give up all the gains during this period. As long as we withdraw fast enough, we may still have a chance.
As soon as the words landed, Liu Bei shook his head directly. Chang’an City and most of Yongzhou were the fruits of his hard-earned victory. How could he be willing to give up now? Bear?
Fazheng seemed to have long expected that Liu Bei would not agree to such an approach, so he continued: “So we have only one way to go!”
“It’s just that this road is very dangerous, and it will bring the lord to the world’s infamy. 35
“Um?
Liu Bei said, “What can I do? Hurry up!!”
Fazheng’s eyes showed a trace of haze: “According to the time Liu Bian dug the Weishui River, combined with the men and horses under his command, it is absolutely unlikely that the opening of the Weishui River will be particularly large during this time. I have estimated that if an army of 50,000 acts together, It will take at least a month, and it may be able to attract enough water to submerge Chang’an City.35
“That is to say, the Wei River that he has drawn now is not enough to submerge the entire city of Chang’an!!
“Um?”
Now it was Liu Bei’s turn to be confused. He could hear Fa Zheng’s explanation clearly. The crux of the question was whether the people and soldiers in the whole city believed it. Why are they now focusing on whether they can drown Chang’an City?
Fazheng ignored Liu Bei’s questioning eyes, and said to himself: “If we want to delay Liu Bian’s progress as much as possible, we must defend Chang’an City. Only in this way can we continue to wait for the opportunity, wait for peace Time for Liu Bian to fight to the death.”
“And the key to defending Chang’an City lies in…”
Speaking Fazheng, he lowered his voice and whispered to Liu Bei’s ear: “We will solve all those who are not in harmony with us in Chang’an City, whoever dares to surrender bluntly, and kill them, so why can’t you stop Liu Bian’s attack? ?
“Sizzle!!!”
Liu Bei gasped for a few breaths, the look of shock on his face was particularly obvious, even more shocking than what Liu Bian said just now…
“Xiaozhi, you…”
“There are hundreds of thousands of civilians in this city, how can I stretch out a butcher’s knife and slash at them, this is even worse than a beast!!”
Fazheng did not change his mind because of Liu Bei’s words, and continued with a cold face: “Liu Bian dares to flood Chang’an City, why does the lord not even have the courage?35
“Since ancient times, heroes have been judged by success or failure. As long as you can gain the world in the future, who would care about such trivial matters? If we fail, even if we haven’t done these things, it’s not surprising to be framed. 95
Fazheng’s words directly hit Liu Bei’s heart.
Liu Bei’s face became more and more ugly, and after a long time he shook his head again: “No, no!!”
“My name of Liu Bei’s benevolence has spread all over the world, and because of my good reputation among the people, I was able to attract many soldiers to take the initiative to join. Now I can raise a butcher’s knife against these people, and I can’t do it.
“I would rather give up Chang’an City 1.8, absolutely not!!
“Xiaozhi doesn’t need to say more, and doesn’t need to persuade!!
Fa Zheng looked at Liu Bei’s resolute face and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, “The lord’s kindness is truly unparalleled in the world. If so, we still have a central strategy, and we can take the initiative to send the people out of the city. I think Liu Bian will also agree, so as to reduce casualties as much as possible.
“It’s just that our morale has dissipated!!”
Hearing this, Liu Bei’s reaction was not as intense as before. He sighed and said, “That’s the only way! Let’s try our best to persevere. Whether we can wait until the turnaround is up to God.”
“Alas!! 35
The sound of sighs swayed on the city walls for a long time…
