Xu Ziling entered the city from the East Gate Xie Hui withdrew the radually returned to life, soh people and vehicles were still sparse, cohost town, it was a different ated back to his norate He spoke gratefully, “Bashu is averted fro Feixuan Xiaojie Otherwise, if Shaoshuai accepted the challenge, the situation would be too horrible to conte street side by side, Xu Ziling s’s personal character that there was awould still rather withdraw his troops rather than fight with Feixuan However, I wonder how’s the situation on the Ba Meng’s [Sichuan Alliance] side?”
Xie Wenlong replied, “Bashu ain, Die went to the south of the city to have a talk with the four major tribes’ tribal chiefs, this ave his nods, we are all people who understand reasons, plus ays had a good relationshi+p, there shouldn’t be any new proble is not in a hurry, Yuhua could have the honors to be the host”
Xu Ziling noticed Lei Jiuzhi appearing across the street, signaling an inquiring sign with his hand; thereupon he responded apologetically, “I caood friends, and then we’ll leave i’s kind intention is appreciated! Please sendalso noticed Lei Jiuzhi; reluctant to part, he shook hands with Xu Ziling and bade hidu, Xu Xiong must come to visit us, to let Xiaodi and Yuhua act as the host”

The fact was that he and Song Que ell aware that even though they had the wonder e the city, to put Li Yuan in order would still be a very difficult bloody battle, and the cost would be extre Jian obtained the i the previous dynasty, so he had to guard against his own subordinates, noeven became more severe, he focused on the possibility of internal treason and reinforced the city’s defense, especially putting emphasis on the i was able to establish a staunch stronghold inside the city, the counterattack from the Imperial City would still be very difficult to resist One day he was still unable to capture the defense of the i’an would still be in Li Yuan’s hands
