Anxi Lie

In the first year of Zhenyuan, the Anxi Protectorate was besieged for the seventh year. The imperial court gave up on the Western Regions, and the people in the city were still waiting. Eighteen-year-old Wen Zhi brought a letter: "Reinforcements have been sent and will arrive soon." - The letter was fake. Guo Xin saw through it but did not expose it. That night, Lieutenant General Wei Shan put a knife into Wen Zhi's hand: "From today on, you decide who lives and who dies." Wen Zhi told his first lie to Mrs. Liu: "It will come." From then on he could never stop. Outside the city, the Tubo people shouted every day: "There are no reinforcements." The people inside the city stood on the city wall facing east, with the mouth of the bowl facing east, waiting for the dawn that would never come. East, that is the direction of the Tang Dynasty. They've been waiting all their lives. They did not wait for Datang. Because they themselves are Datang.
