"General Larna!" Tian Long was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly blocked Dililarna in front of him and shouted anxiously, "General Larna, you can't do this! You can't take them away!"

"Go aside!" Dililarna shouted coldly.

Tian Long refused to let him go, he couldn't let him go. If the Western Turkic soldiers were released, how could he attack Tingzhou?

"Clang——" Dililarna suddenly pulled out her sword and pointed at Tian Long. It was an extremely sharp Tang sword. Since she used Tang sword in the ancient city of Loulan last time, she fell in love with Tang swords and specially spent a lot of money to hire the founder of the Jingjue clan to create a Tang sword. The materials were extremely precious. It cost more than fifty taels of gold just to collect materials.

Dililarna pointed at Tian Long's nose with a Tang sword and said coldly: "If you dare to stop it again, I will definitely call you a blood splatter for five steps!"

Tian Long was so scared by her words that he took a step back, but he then took another step forward and continued to stand in front of Dililarna, saying: "Your country's Khan promised our country..."

With a slight "crack", Tian Long felt his neck cool and suddenly felt a feeling of soaring. Then he found himself floating, but he couldn't speak. There was a headless corpse standing there, his clothes were exactly the same as his, and Dililarna's knife was bleeding... This was the activity in Tian Long's brain at the last moment of his life, and then his brain stopped working, his head fell to the ground, and the corpse fell down, and blood splashed out, just five steps away, neither too much nor too much.

Everyone was shocked. Tian Long was the head coach of the military camp. It was unimaginable to murder the head coach in the military camp.

Dililarna shook off the blood on the blade, and then sheathed the knife, and said coldly: "Let's go." After that, she walked forward, and the Western Turkic army followed closely behind, leaving behind the Tian Long's personal guard who was confused.

"Hurry! Go and report to the military officer Qian!" A captain of the guard finally turned his mind and shouted in panic, "Shistor Tian is dead, killed by General Dililarna!"

Dililarna left the barracks with a 16,000 army. The barracks had already been in chaos. However, all this had nothing to do with her. She was already thinking about what kind of punishment she would receive after she went back? Dismissed? In prison? Those generals who were jealous of themselves should be very happy. They would definitely impeach themselves, and civil servants would definitely take the blame... This is not important. As long as she could bring the remaining soldiers home, she was already very satisfied, and she no longer had to make things difficult for Li Hao. She actually felt a sense of pleasure of relief. This was the first time this strange feeling had happened.

He headed northwest all the way and when he passed by Tingzhou City, he was only two or three miles away from Tingzhou City. When the Tang army saw so many people coming, he was panicked and had already sounded the trumpet and entered a state of combat readiness. Li Hao also climbed to the top of the city himself to observe the enemy situation.

However, Li Hao found that the enemy did not seem to have the intention of siegeing the city, as if he had just passed by here. After a closer look, the silver-armored general who was leading the team looked familiar. He hurriedly used a telescope to check it out and immediately saw her face clearly. It turned out to be Xiao Di.

Dililarna also turned her head and looked towards Tingzhou, and found that Tang Jun was staring at them on the top of the city. This was normal. She immediately discovered that there was a person's clothes on the top of the city that were particularly conspicuous. It was a set of scarlet official uniforms. There was only one person who could wear such an official uniform in Tingzhou, Governor Li Hao.

When old friends meet each other, they look at each other from afar, without saying a word. Even if they say it, they are afraid that they will be too far away to hear it.

"It's Xiaodi." Li Hao looked at Dililarna and sighed slowly. He felt that he was a passing visitor in his life, and his heart was mixed.

"Take care more." Dililarna sighed slowly, withdrew her gaze and continued to rush forward.

Li Hao on the top of the city watched Dililarna's 16,000 troops go away, and then said lightly: "The Western Turks have withdrawn."

The reason why Dililarna walked from here was to tell Li Hao that the Western Turks had withdrawn their troops. Li Hao also knew her intentions and was secretly grateful to her. This time, she really helped herself a lot.

When they heard this news, the whole city was full of joy and cheered. The Western Turkic army has always been the main force in attacking Tingzhou. Once they withdrew their troops, would Gaochang dare to attack Tingzhou again? Maybe they dare, but with the only 10,000 troops left by Gaochang, Li Hao did not believe that they could capture Tingzhou. After all, Tingzhou still has two thousand soldiers and five hundred wounded soldiers. These wounded soldiers were too seriously injured at the time and only needed to recuperate for a month to go to the battlefield again.

Li Hao felt that Gaochang would withdraw his troops because as far as he knew, Gaochang had only 30,000 troops, and had lost nearly 20,000. At present, only one thousand people were left. Unless Li Wentai was crazy, he would not continue to attack Tingzhou.

As it turned out, Li Hao was wrong this time. Three days later, Jiaohe Duke Zhang Meng returned to the marching camp again and brought Li Wentai's edict to remove Tian Long from the position of coach and he would take over as the head coach again.

When Li Wentai issued this edict, he didn't know that Tian Long had been killed. The reason why he dismissed Tian Long's position as the leader was because of the plague. Although Tian Long was not blamed for the plague, someone came out to take the blame, so Tian Long became the scapegoat.

Zhang Meng was very happy to finally take back his position as the general manager, but after he arrived at the military camp, he found that the Western Turks had withdrawn his troops, and he was stunned.

He didn't sleep all night, thinking hard in his teeth all night, his eyes were covered with bloodshot. Why did he think hard? Because he was unwilling to accept it? If Li Wentai knew that the Western Turks had withdrawn, the battle would definitely not be fought. Then the position of coach he had finally won would become a joke, and he was so happy that he wanted to step on Tian Long, but he never thought of letting Tian Long die. Everything happened far beyond his expectations.

After a night of hard thinking, Zhang Meng decided to fight for Li Wentai again, so he wrote a memorial and sent it to Gaochang quickly. In the memorial, he talked about two major events in the camp. First, the Western Turks withdrew troops, and second, Tian Long was killed. Then he also stated a secret that Tingzhou had no food, and it took more than a month to trap the city, Tingzhou could be defeated without attack.

The shortage of food in Tingzhou is actually expected, but no one knows how much it is, but someone knows it, that is Cao Tian. Although Cao Tian is dead, when he persuaded Zhang Meng and Zhang Lan in Jiaohe City, he told them about the shortage of food in Tingzhou, including the burning of food in Tingzhou himself.

So Zhang Meng knew very clearly about the shortage of food in Tingzhou, and he was also very sure that the food in Tingzhou would definitely not last for a month.

Three days later, Li Wentai received a memorial from Zhang Meng. He knew about Tian Long's killing and the withdrawal of troops from the Western Turks three days ago, because on the day of the incident, the military supervisor Qian Zhenyao reported the matter, but at that time he had already sent Zhang Meng to the Tingzhou camp.

At that time, Qu Wentai had the plan to withdraw his troops. After all, the 70,000 troops had not captured Tingzhou, and now there is only 10,000 troops left there, and there is no hope. Although he really wanted to take Tingzhou, he didn't want to ruin all the troops in the country there. In fact, this was like a gambling. He was afraid of losing and he no longer dared to bet.

However, when he saw Zhang Meng's memorial and said confidently that he would report that Tingzhou had severe food shortages and could not last for a month and was willing to issue a military order. He was immediately moved again. Tingzhou was too important to him, and that was their Gaochang money tree, which must be controlled by his own hands.

Qu Wentai thought hard all night and finally made up his mind to take down Tingzhou. Tingzhou is so important, and he is not willing to give up. He has already paid such a heavy loss. If he doesn't get anything, he will be really unwilling to accept it.

So Qu Wentai summoned all the ministers and ordered General Weiyuan Helanfeng to be appointed as deputy commander, leading 10,000 troops to reinforce Zhang Meng, and he must take down Tingzhou within two months. At the same time, he also ordered that the country would recruit 10,000 troops again.

The civil officials opposed Qu Wentai's two orders, and even many military generals disagreed with it. In their opinion, paying such a large price for a small Tingzhou is not worth it, and frequent recruitment of troops is likely to cause public grievances and anger.

Faced with the opposition of the ministers, Qu Wentai ignored the deaf ears, insisted on his own actions, and even severely scolded him. If anyone persuaded him again, he would definitely be killed. The ministers were stunned and did not dare to say anything again. This was a bad manifestation of the serious centralization of the monarch. If Wei Zheng did not scold Li Shimin to death in the Tang Dynasty, it would be strange.

With the support of Qu Wentai and the number of troops increased by 10,000, Zhang Meng was so happy that he immediately ordered the city of Tingzhou on all sides to block the city and the operation to trap the city began.

At the same time, a grain shortage began to gradually appear in Tingzhou City. Ten days later, the grain of Longchang Grain Shop was finally distributed. It was still half a month before the corn was ripe. Li Hao checked the corn every day. The corn in the field is still very green and tender, but it made him worried. He ground the 100 stones of corn he had stored into flour, which made Longchang Grain Shop last for another four days.

There are still more than ten days before the corn matures, but there is really no food in the city, and only fifty stones of military ration are left. Military rations must not be moved. It is not because of the fear of the soldiers' mutiny. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are very moral. In such a crisis, they will never mutiny because of food. They would rather starve to death than let the people starve to death. This is the spirit of the soldiers. However, these soldiers are the last protective umbrella in Tingzhou. Even if Li Hao starves himself, he cannot let them starve.

On the first day of the food outage, the city was very quiet, the second day, and on the third day, there were news of people starving to death, including elderly people, women and children, but there were no children. The people did not make noise or make trouble, and they were very quiet.

When Li Hao heard Lu Yun come to report, he felt that his heart was bleeding. However, as the governor of Tingzhou, he was powerless. That feeling really seemed like there were thousands of knives piercing his heart, heartbreaking, and truly heartbreaking.
