    Chang'an, Liangyi Palace.  Li Yuan looked very haggard, and most of the black hair on his head had turned white. His eye sockets were much sunken compared to a year ago. He was sitting behind the Imperial Case, his brows furrowed, and Pei Ji next to him also had bloodshot eyes.  Densely covered, the wrinkles on his face were like dry tree bark, one after another. Over the past year, this pair of emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty could be said to have aged a lot.  But Feng Lun, who was standing in front of them, was refreshed and rosy. He was wearing a purple official robe and stood calmly in the hall. Looking at Li Yuan who was reading the memorial in his hand, his eyes occasionally flashed with light.  Finally, Li Yuan finished reading the memorial. He held the memorial and frowned deeply: "Feng Zhongshu (the internal history province of the Sui Dynasty was the Zhongshu Province of the previous generation, and the chief was Shizhong, but in order to avoid Yang Zhong, the Sui Dynasty  The taboo was changed from Zhongshu Sheng to Nei Shi Sheng, and Shi Zhong was changed to Nayan. In the third year of Wude, Li Yuan changed the Neishi Province back to Zhongshu Sheng, and changed Nayan, the highest official of Neishi Province, to  Feng Lun's current position is to inspect the Zhongshu Ling, which is equivalent to a prime minister), tell me the truth, can we still fight in Luoyang? " Feng Lun smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Qin has already  He wrote down the battle situation in detail in the memorial, and I thought that he had made it very clear, and His Majesty could see clearly. " Li Yuan gritted his teeth: "He just kept saying that Luoyang must be defeated and Wang Shichong must be eliminated, but he never mentioned it.  All kinds of difficulties, hum, I am not blind or deaf. From Shiro Genkichi down, most generals have lost the confidence and courage to win. They are war-weary. How can they continue to fight? " Feng Lun Point  He nodded: "Generals will only judge temporary gains and losses from the battlefield, but King Qin will judge from the strategy of the entire world, so he will disagree with the generals, just like in Qianshuiyuan and Queshu Valley.  , The final facts proved that King Qin was right. " Pei Ji said coldly: "Feng Zhongshu, it can only happen in three cases. Although King Qin succeeded the first two times, it does not mean that his judgment is correct this time.  This time, he held the camp with a small number of troops and delayed the decisive battle until the enemy's supplies were exhausted. The first battle was successful. However, this time it was the other way around. Our army had an absolute advantage in numbers, but it was the enemy who had to wait for the enemy to run out of food.  For half a year, the division's veterans were tired, their morale was low, and their soldiers wanted to return. On the contrary, Wang Shichong was in the city. We didn't know how much food and grass he had. It can be said that Wang Shichong is now like the king of Qin in the previous two times, and our Tang army is on the same level as the Qin army.  Like the Han army, they cannot break the fortified city. Do you still think that continuing the siege is the right choice?" Feng Lun looked calm and said calmly: "The difficulty is only temporary. Now we are fighting for the last breath with Wang Shichong, Luoyang?  There are many people in the city, but rice and grain crops cannot be grown in the city. It is difficult for our army of hundreds of thousands to supply military supplies. The hundreds of thousands of people in his city consume astronomical figures every day. The longer it lasts, the better it is for us.  " Li Yuan curled up his lips: "But why was he able to defend the city three months ago with yellow-faced and skinny civilians, and now he can still defend the city?  But show that you can't, and show that you can when you can't, and attack the city with weak soldiers and hungry soldiers. This is to show us. It is to lure us to attack the city, so that they can kill a lot of people with the weapons of defending the city. Luoyang City is high, the pond is deep, and the armored soldiers are sharp.  , This is their biggest advantage. If we attack the city, we will suffer too much loss and will consume our strength. This is what Wang Shichong wants us to do. " Li Yuan nodded: "So King Qin hoped to cause civil strife in the city at the beginning.  But this plan didn't come true, right?" Feng Lun nodded: "There was indeed civil strife in the city. According to statistics, there were about twelve or three times when someone wanted to open the door and surrender, but Wang Shichong suppressed them. This was the case with Yang Xuangan before.  This did not happen during the attack on Luoyang, which shows that the city is really at the end of its rope. Otherwise, these aristocratic nobles who are accustomed to riding on the wall will never take the risk and offer the city before the victory or defeat is decided. They can wait for us.  It's not too late to break into Luoyang and then return.  This also proves that Wang Shichong is running out of food and grass, and he cannot even guarantee the supply of the noble ministers. As long as we persist, we will definitely be able to capture Luoyang!  " Pei Ji gritted his teeth: "Book of Feng Zhongshu, do you still remember Yao Junsu who was trapped in Puban? He was trapped in a small Puban city for three years. In the end, the people in the city ate each other and refused to surrender. Wang Shichong had it.  Zhu Jie, the cannibal demon king, is proficient in various ways of cannibalism. Even if they really run out of food, won't they eat people?  Feng Lun shook his head: "It shouldn't be to this point. Even if Wang Shichong and Zhu Jie are willing to eat people, those common people, noble families, and even Wang Shichong's generals will probably rise up in rebellion. As a general,  Or he was a rebel leader, which was fine occasionally, but Wang Shichong was an emperor. How could an emperor take the lead in eating his own people?  If he really does this, then the legitimacy of his rule will be completely gone.  " Li Yuan nodded: "?So is ?.  But now our army has no food and grass, what should we do?  Transporting grain from Guanzhong to the Central Plains is a long way and the mountains are dangerous. Moreover, our Twelve Guards soldiers have been out fighting for a year. This year¡¯s crops cannot be harvested. Guanzhong¡¯s treasury income this year is very small. Even if all of it is used to supply the Central Plains  , it can only last for two months at most. If all of it is given to the King of Qin, and a foreign enemy attacks at this time, we will not even have the ration reserves to fight the battle!  Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, although there are some food difficulties in Guanzhong, the prince of Bingzhou should still have 500,000 shi of military rations, enough to feed the army for three months. As long as the prince is willing to allocate these rations, what will happen to the Central Plains?"  The army's food problem can be easily solved!  " Li Yuan's brows relaxed at first, then became worried: "Well, you don't know about the relationship between Da Lang and Er Lang. Is he willing to give these military rations?  What should we do if we are delaying for an excuse?  Feng Lun smiled and said: "This is not a problem. Your Majesty can first ask the minister to bring 200,000 shi of military rations out of the pass to provide emergency response to King Qin's army. Then he said that there is insufficient food in Guanzhong and asks the prince to provide food to Guanzhong. The prince can  Do you dare to delay the supply of military rations to King Qin? Do you dare to delay the supply to His Majesty?  " Li Yuan laughed: "Okay, this is good, but can Luoyang really be captured in one month?  " Feng Lun's lips curled up: "I think the key to the problem is not the amount of military rations, but your Majesty's determination. The reason why the generals want to return is because Your Majesty did not issue a death order. If Your Majesty asked me to bring the military rations,  When we return, all the generals and the entire army will know that His Majesty is determined not to fight until Luoyang is taken. If there is no way out, they will definitely fight to the end!  " Li Yuan's eyes flashed: "Just do what the letter says!  Also, all the frontline soldiers were promoted to the first level as a reward. When Luoyang was conquered, in addition to the books and statutes of the past dynasties, all the gold and silver treasures in the city's treasury were given to the soldiers. They would never break their promise!  "
