Li Yuan was about to speak. A eunuch under Zhao Yong rushed in, held up a note with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty the Cavalry, I just received a letter from General Li Daozong!" Li Yuanxi said, "It must be Li Daozong's troops that are about to arrive!"

Zhao Yong went down to receive the letter, then returned to Li Yuan's jade case and bowed to Li Yuan to present the letter to Li Yuan. Li Yuan took the letter, spread it out, and looked at it quickly. All the ministers were staring at Li Yuan. However, soon, the ministers noticed that the original hope on the emperor's face turned into horror in an instant, and the blood on his face disappeared suddenly and became white and scary. His hands holding the letter were trembling! Seeing this, the ministers immediately felt a bad premonition in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking in their hearts: Could it be that Li Daozong had encountered some obstacles?

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but clasp his fists and asked, "Father, I wonder what Li Daozong said in the letter again?" All the ministers showed curious expressions.

Li Yuan raised his head and looked at the ministers with extremely horrified eyes. The ministers were shocked when they saw Li Yuan's eyes.

Li Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Li Daozong, Li Daozong's troops were ambushed by the Liao army halfway! Almost all the troops were wiped out!" Although everyone had expected it, they still couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard Li Yuan say it with their own ears! At this time, everyone felt that what Liu Wenjing said was correct. They rashly dispatched troops to help, not only failed to rescue Chang'an, but instead sent the tens of thousands of troops into the opponent! The Liao King was really terrifying! He only revealed a little flaw, and was immediately caught by him, causing such a major casualty to his side!

Liu Wenjing suddenly clasped her fists and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Tongguan is fine?" Everyone was shocked again. Only then did they think of Tongguan. If Tongguan was captured by the Liao army, then the consequences would be really unimaginable! As soon as they thought of this, they couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, and everyone couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats!

Li Yuan said: "Tongguan is still there..." When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly fell, and many people felt as if they were exhausted. Li Yuan continued: "The Liao army took advantage of the situation to attack Tongguan. Fortunately, Li Daozong was defeated and did not rebellion, and resisted the fierce attack of the Liao army! Now the Liao King has evacuated from the bottom of Tongguan and is coming to Chang'an!"

When everyone heard the news that the Liao King came to Chang'an, they could not help but feel relieved. An old man wearing a Confucian shirt and elegant temperament said anxiously: "Your Majesty, now that the entire army of Li Daozong was wiped out, the morale of the military and civilians in the city will inevitably be greatly affected! Today, the battle to defend the city during the day is not easy. If Zhang Lang came, he would definitely attack the city with Luo Yi, I am afraid that Chang'an will not be able to defend it soon! I think that Chang'an is not the place where the emperor stays, so he should hurry up.

Give up Chang'an and retreat south!" The person who spoke was Kong Fan. He was originally an official in Southern Chen. After Chen was destroyed, he surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty, he became the Minister of Rites of the Li Tang court. The descendants of Confucius were well versed in survival! No wonder, in the Confucian theory of destiny, they were just following the transfer of destiny, and there was nothing wrong with it. According to the Confucian viewpoint, those who were traitors in the War of Resistance Against Japan could also justify themselves.

Kong Fan's words resonated among the ministers, and many people agreed. Li Yuan was at a loss when he heard Kong Fan's words. Over the past few days, he was exhausted both physically and mentally in order to resist the Liao army defending Guanzhong. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel escaping deep in his heart. He just wanted to avoid the terrifying Liao army!

"No! No!" Liu Wenjing's voice suddenly sounded loudly, completely suppressing the voices of Kong Fan and others.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Liu Wenjing. Kong Fan said angrily: "The situation is critical now. If you don't evacuate quickly, your Majesty's safety will be difficult to protect! Lord Liu insists on putting Your Majesty in danger. What is the intention?"

Liu Wenjing pointed at Kong Fan, stared at him and roared, "Kong Fan, don't talk nonsense and disrupt our morale!" Kong Fan was attracted by his momentum and shrank his neck, not daring to say anything for the time being.

Liu Wenjing clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty! Although the situation is critical now, there are nearly 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and there is a large city and a wide river. There is enough food and grass. As long as Your Majesty is determined to hold on, the Liao army will be strong and have no reason to attack Chang'an! I dare to use the head of the Xiang emperor to guarantee it! But if Your Majesty gives up Chang'an and retreat south, the situation will collapse immediately! The Liao army takes Chang'an with the momentum, but Tongguan will not be guaranteed. At that time, Guanzhong will be the hands of the King of Liao, and the morale of the military and civilians will be greatly affected. Not to mention the direct threat of the Liao army's military and civilians, the entire Central Plains and Xichuan will face the direct threat of the Liao army's military front, and the situation will become very unfavorable to us! Now is the critical time for life and death, please make your Majesty clear!" Pei Ji and several others agreed with Liu Wenjing's words.

Kong Fan said angrily: "This is easy to say. But although it can be guaranteed to be absolutely foolproof? Lord Liu's guarantee is useless. Previously, Lord Liu said that the Liao army would definitely not be able to cross the Wei River within half a month to a month, but what is the result?" Many people couldn't help but nodded, thinking that what Kong Fan said made sense. Kong Fan clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, if you do as Lord Liu said, it would be easy to say. But what if you can't defend it? At that time, Your Majesty fell into the hands of the Liao people, the consequences would be really unimaginable!..."

Liu Wenjing was furious and suddenly threw Yu Gui in his hand towards Kong Fan. Kong Fan was caught off guard and was hit by Yu Gui's forehead and fell to the ground with a scream. Liu Wenjing was still not satisfied and ran up to drill Kong Fan, but was hurriedly grabbed by Pei Ji and others! The court, which was originally solemn, suddenly became chaotic!

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel angry and shouted loudly: "Silent!" The ministers' hearts were terrified, and the court suddenly became quiet. Liu Wenjing bowed and apologized, "I am not etiquette, please punish your majesty!" Li Yuan snorted and looked at Kong Fan. He saw Kong Fan standing up under the support of two colleagues, with a red and swollen forehead, looking very embarrassed. Li Yuan couldn't help but feel funny, and then said to Liu Wenjing: "You
