After hearing Xu Yixian's words, Li Jiyu pulled the muscles of the mouth backwards, with murderous intent in his eyes, "You have made such crazy words. Do you think my knife is not good?"

Xu Yixian smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I am speaking from the perspective of strength."

"You can't even beat Chang'an, and you still have the face to tell me to start from strength!" Li Jiyu smiled grimly, "If you can't tell me why today, I want your head."

Many ministers of the Tang Dynasty in the hall were also a little angry and scolded them.

As the prime minister of the Western Kingdom, Xu Yixian followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years and obviously had seen big scenes. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am not able to take Chang'an in the West, but I don't want Gao Huan to benefit. This is not good for us. Otherwise, how long can the Tang army last if the army outside the city surrounded Chang'an and attacked?"

Xu Yixian did not give Li Jiyu face, because if he did not put pressure heavily and make the Tang monarch and ministers awake, Li Jiyu would not have given up Chang'an.

If the Tang Kingdom allowed to occupy Guanzhong and could not stop the army later, it would not only harm the Tang Kingdom, but also the Daxi.

"Your Majesty does not have to force himself. After the Hedong defeat, even if I do not send troops to the West, the Tang army will not be able to survive this winter. Our Western Army entered Guanzhong, but instead pointed out a way for Your Majesty and the Tang army." Xu Yixian changed his sincere expression. "Now the Tang Kingdom can no longer defend Guanzhong. Your Majesty will give Guanzhong to the West. Only by guarding Guanzhong can Gao Huan prevent Gao Huan from unifying the world. This is a good thing for Your Majesty. Whether it exists or dies is all within your thoughts."

Li Jiyu had a dark face, and Zhang Xianzhong wanted him to give up Guanzhong, retreat to Gansu, and hand over Guanzhong to the Western Army. In this way, the more powerful Western Army and Ganchao were indeed a choice for him.

"Who said I can't stop Gao Huan?" Li Jiyu said hideously.

Yu Yixiu saw Li Jiyu’s argument and looked at Li Jiyu, “Now I will only ask Your Majesty one thing, even if the Western Army retreats, how will Your Majesty deal with Gao Huan?”

Li Jiyu was as deep as water, and he was extremely angry, but he couldn't vent his feelings because what Xu Yixian said was basically the truth.

Without the support of Western countries, Li Jiyu would definitely not be able to beat Gao Huan.

Many Tang officials in the hall were not angry and couldn't help but whisper.

At this time, Li Jiyu suddenly sneered, "Gao Huan is now powerful, and I really can't beat him, but I want the Western State to help me defend Guanzhong."

Guanzhong is the core of the Tang Dynasty and Li Jiyu's capital to be the emperor. If he withdraws Gansu, he can only be demoted and become a small warlord who is not in the right place.

Li Jiyu actually had a solution in his mind. He now understood Zhang Xianzhong's intention and took Guanzhong to avoid Gao Huan's attack on Bashu after occupying Guanzhong.

Since this is the case, as long as he does not allow him to leave Guanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong will not be able to watch the Gan army attack into Guanzhong.

Xu Yixian felt a stern when he heard the words, and understood that Li Jiyu was a scoundrel and a madman.

Sure enough, Li Jiyu smiled and said, "If the Western Army does not retreat and does not support me in guarding Guanzhong, then I will let Gao Huan enter the pass and see how Zhang Xianzhong responds!"

Xu Yixian said in a deep voice: "If the Gan army attacks, the Western army retreats to Hanzhong and can still hold on. Your Majesty's plan is harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, and he will suffer the consequences!"

Li Jiyu also said in a deep voice: "Then I will surrender to Gao Huan, isn't it better than surrendering to Zhang Xianzhong!"

Xu Yixian stared at Li Jiyu and said, "Your Majesty will not surrender to Gao Huan!"

...

Outside Tongguan, the Gan Army dug the trench at the foot of Tongguan and continuously bombarded Tongguan with mortars. The pass exploded continuously and thick smoke rolled.

"Kill!" As soon as the mortar cannon fired the flowering bullet, the soldiers of the army carried the ladder and jumped out of the trench, launching a fierce attack on Tongguan.

At this time, Sun Chuanting stood under the banner of the big crow, observed Tongguan with a thousand-mile mirror, and loudly ordered, "Adjust the angle of the mortar cannon, blow it behind the gate, block the enemy's wall, and then ask Gao Jie to take advantage of the artillery to attack the governor."

Zhang Xianzhong hoped that Li Jiyu would give up Guanzhong and the Western Army would defend Guanzhong. However, Li Jiyu hoped that Zhang Xianzhong would withdraw his troops and the Western Army would support him to defend Guanzhong and guard against Gao Huan's attack.

The two sides could not reach an agreement for a while, but the Gan army, who wanted to defend, launched an attack.

Outside Tongguan, Sun Chuanting was the first to get the news that Zhang Xianzhong attacked the Tang Kingdom. While sending a message to Jiangnan, Sun Chuanting mobilized the Henan army and began to attack Wuguan and Tongguan fiercely. At the same time, Ma Shiying from Hedong also sent Huang Degong to attack Pujindu.

When the three armies of the army began to attack Guanzhong, intending to open the passage to Shaanxi, Gao Huan led 200,000 imperial guards and set off in a mighty way, arrived in Huai'an along the canal, and then marched towards Henan against the Yellow River.

At this time, the soldiers of the Gan army walked along the Yellow River, and the trainer pulled the ropes and dragged the baggage ships toward the west.

Gao Huan rode on the horse and looked at the marching team, and couldn't help but smile: "I originally thought it would take some time to attack Guanzhong, but I didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhong would actually fight with Li Jiyu."

Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "This is really God's help to Your Majesty! Although Li Jiyu was defeated in Hedong, he still had 200,000 troops, and there were Chang'an City, so Zhang Xianzhong would definitely not be able to eat it for a while. In this way, they would fight against each other, and his majesty would benefit!"

Gao Huan also nodded slightly, "If the Western Tang Dynasty fights both sides suffer, then I will be close to unifying the world!"

While many civil and military officials were laughing, Xia Wanchun said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xianzhong sent troops to Guanzhong because he was worried that Li Jiyu would not be able to defend Guanzhong. If they could not stand stalemate, I would do my best and the army would be in a big way, they might reunite!"

Gao Huan stroked his beard, "Xiao Yin's worries are not unreasonable. However, if I have hundreds of thousands of troops, what if Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu join forces?"

It’s not that Gao Huan is arrogant, but that he has strong strength through five years of construction. Not to mention population and taxation, the output of fine iron alone is several times the sum of the Western Tang and Qing dynasties.

With such strong strength, the Western Army and the Tang Army could still resist with a dangerous situation. They fought together on the Great Plains, even if the Three Kingdoms united, Gao Huan was not afraid.

Now Gao Huan is not afraid of fighting with the Three Kingdoms, but is afraid that they will stay in a dangerous place and will not come out.

Therefore, this time Zhang Xianzhong left Sichuan, which was exactly what Gao Huan thought.

Seeing that Gao Huan was not afraid of the alliance between the Western Tang Dynasty, Xia Wanchun immediately said, "Your Majesty is preparing to annihilate the Western and Tang dynasties in Guanzhong! If so, I suggest that a team of elite troops be drawn from Huguang, go up against the Han River, take down the land of Hanzhong, and cut off Zhang Xianzhong's return!"

When Gao Huan heard this, he laughed, "Xiao Yin's proposal is very consistent with my wishes. The main force of the Western Army is an excellent opportunity for me to leave Sichuan. Now that Zhang Xianzhong leads the main force of the Western Army to besiege Chang'an, I ask Song Xiance to send troops to capture Hanzhong, and the world will be settled!"
