Chapter 290 The Strongest Enemy

"It would be great if Liu Chengyou was like an old fox like Guo Wei... In fact, there are many ways to kill Guo Wei, so why go head-to-head?" Murong Yanzhao is still regretting that he really doesn't want to see Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei have such a fight, Guo Wei is indeed a military genius , and martial arts are world-class, who would mess with this kind of person?
Cao Yun said: "You don't know, in fact, when Guo Wei's family was in Kaifeng, it could be said that they would definitely die... Liu Chengyou had already arranged it very well. It should be said that it was not Liu Chengyou who arranged it but Master Zong Xin. Judging from the situation at that time , It's really hard to escape. I didn't expect Zong Xin to really let this group of people fly. I was there at the time and saw Zong Xin take Guo Wei's family out of Kaifeng with my own eyes. Everyone just watched. You don't know me How afraid I am of monk Zong Xin... His intelligence and martial arts skills, which include pinching and calculating, are scary enough, but who would have thought that he can also do magic."

"Is... really a spell?"

"Nonsense, what kind of martial arts can bring so many people to the sky? Isn't this a magic spell?" Cao Yun said: "At that time, Master Zongxin said that he would use the cassock to subdue the demons to trap the Guo mansion, so he asked Liu Chengyou for a lot of Yunjin cassocks. , As a result, Liu Chengyou gave Zong Xin a lot of brocade, Zong Xin used these things to cast spells, and the brocade cloth almost covered the entire Guo Mansion, and the brocade cloth flew up, not to control the Guo Mansion."

"Is it impossible for so many people to watch?" Murong Yanzhao didn't see it with his own eyes, and he always felt that the whole thing was miraculous, and he couldn't even believe it.

Cao Yun said: "Before Zong Xin said that other people should not approach him when he was casting spells, otherwise it would be dangerous. Seeing so many brocades flying up, he knew that Zong Xin was casting spells. Who would dare to get close at that time? The result was confused Flying higher and higher, everyone is still cheering, who would have thought that Guo Wei's whole family was in it? Let alone us, when you brought down Li Shouzhen, didn't you have 8000 righteous troops? [-] of you were defeated by Zongxin alone Don't dare to move, what kind of spell did Zongxin use at that time?"

"We can't talk about spells. Anyway, as soon as we get close to Zongxin, there will be thunder from the sky. Even if it is fire, we dare to go up, but at that time, it will be thunder... Forget it, don't mention it, it's not a show anyway. Things." Murong Yanzhao didn't want to mention this matter again, because he didn't dare to reveal a secret, he was really scared when he saw Luo Lei at that time, but it wasn't so scared that 8000 people dared not do anything to one person?This is absolutely impossible.

What scares Murong Yanzhao the most is the Ye Wang Token in Zong Xin's hand, which proves that he is Lei Hong's son.It's not that none of these 8000 people dared to do anything, it's just that Murong Yanzhao didn't dare to do it alone.Offending Li Shouzhen would at most be dismissed from office, if he had to run away, those who offended King Lei's Mansion would definitely die, no matter where he fled to, it would be useless.

Murong Yanzhao is very aware of Zong Xin's strength and influence, so Zong Xin is someone who must not be offended.But there is one thing that Murong Yanzhao has never figured out. Considering Zong Xin's ability, it is not impossible for him to become emperor, and it can even be said that it is not difficult.

Just like this time, the dispute between Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei, although Guo Wei is now relying on the power of Zhendong King to raise troops, in fact, the direct instigators are Zong Xin and Lei Wangfu. Why did Zong Xin give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Guo Wei when he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?

If the other emperor Murong Yanzhao is sincerely dissatisfied, but Zongxin as emperor Murong Yanzhao will definitely agree with it, because he believes that Zongxin will bring prosperity to the new dynasty, let the people live and work in peace, and finally send troops to unify the world. If it is necessary to believe that a person can do these things, Murong Yanzhao will only believe in him, and even Guo Wei may not be able to do these things.

If you can't figure it out, you can just think about it. Murong Yanzhao knows that he has guessed Zongxin's thoughts and pursuits, and he can do what he is doing now.Although Cao Bin's method is a little bit damaging, it is also a helpless thing. For the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, only the people in Tongguan can be wronged.

However, Cao Bin's approach is not bad. When Murong Yanchao leads his troops to Tongguan, Guo Wei should also lead his troops. When the two powerhouses meet, it will definitely be a very tragic battle.

"I hope that the one who should win the next war will win, and the one who should lose will just lose the war." Murong Yanzhao said: "It's getting late, let's go back to camp and rest."

"Hmm~" Cao Yun didn't want to say anything more, but felt that Murong Yanzhao didn't tell him something.Everyone is very afraid of Zong Xin, but Murong Yanzhao and himself are not quite the same in terms of degree of fear and reasons... Let's find time to ask, it seems that he doesn't want to talk about it today.

…………

The siege should be the most exciting thing, compared to the defenders.Defending the city is definitely one of the most painful things. I will worry about the enemy's attack anytime and anywhere. I dare not take off my shirt even when I sleep. I have to gobble up my meals for fear that this will be my last meal.

But today is different. Tongguan won a big victory. The casualties of our side were only a few hundred people, and most of them were only slightly injured. It was a big victory, and there were cheers in Tongguan.

I have never seen such a stupid siege, I only know how to rush forward, the team has not adjusted at all, like a headless chicken, no one is invincible in such a siege.

Tonight, Chai Rong ordered people to set up a banquet to reward the three armies. There was enough food in Tongguan, but there were not many wine and vegetables.But there is no need to worry about this problem for the time being, because the wargs dragged a lot of horse corpses back, and it is useless to put the horse meat left after the wolfs are full. It is very hot and easy to deteriorate, so let the cook take the horse meat All made into dishes, enough for the soldiers to eat.

It's just that there is not much wine, and the soldiers can only replace wine with rice or water, because everyone is very happy, and no one cares about such a small matter.

After eating and drinking, Chai Rong called all his confidantes together to discuss what to do next.

Chai Rong said: "Wang Pu, from today's battle situation, it seems that you are not lying. It is true that Liu Chengyou organized the attack on the city. If it were other people, the enemy's casualties would never be so heavy."

"If it were someone else, they would attack the city so stupidly. How could Tongguan be so easily captured? With a city wall more than ten meters high and fine iron gates, ordinary methods of attacking the city would not work at all, and only Liu Chengyou, the [-], dared to attack the city." He exchanged the lives of thousands of soldiers for his lack of experience." Zhao Kuangyin said: "This guy Liu Chengyou never trusts anyone, and he will never admit anything unless he sees it with his own eyes. This time he should Admit it, after all, with thousands of people dying in front of him, he knows that Tongguan cannot be attacked by force."

Everyone knows that Liu Chengyou's character is very annoying, he just doesn't believe what others say.Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun should have warned him that the storming of Tongguan must have caused huge casualties, but Liu Chengyou didn't believe it, so he decided to try to attack the city himself. Now that he knows about it, he paid for it with the lives of thousands of soldiers. of.Liu Chengyou insisted on proving something that could be resolved in a few words.

Chai Rong nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, don't interrupt me in the future, can you wait until I finish?"

"Sorry, keep talking."

"Liu Chengyou should already know that Tongguan is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he will definitely think of other ways. Although I think Liu Chengyou is a two hundred and five, maybe he will continue to attack, but Murong Yanzhao will definitely not let him do this. After all these The soldiers are all the soldiers he brought from the river, Liu Chengyou doesn't care about the lives of these soldiers, Murong Yanzhao will never let them die in vain."

Wang Pu nodded and said: "General Chai is right. From my point of view, although Murong Yanzhao has his heart towards us, he will never abandon these soldiers and let Liu Chengyou command the attack randomly. Murong Yanzhao prevents Liu Chengyou from actually attacking our army. There are also advantages. If 8 horses attack the city continuously, our soldiers will definitely be injured and exhausted. Moreover, our army does not have much fuel for bows and arrows, and it will soon develop into close combat. By then, we may not be able to defend. "

Chai Rong really didn't expect that Wang Pu, who was born as a farmer, was quite far-sighted.Indeed, as Wang Pu said, the stock of fire oil for bows and arrows is indeed not much, and Wang Jingchong still needs to send it.Wang Jingchong is just a small Fengxiang Jiedu envoy, his ability is limited, and he can't send much.

"This is what I want to talk about today. There is a shortage of military supplies, and Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Wang Jingchong is doing his best. But after all, Fengxiang's land is small, and he has done his best to send so many things as a Jiedu envoy. We can't ask for more. We must find a way elsewhere." Chai Rong said: "According to my estimation, there will be a big war in the near future. If we don't have enough supplies before then, Tongguan will not be able to defend."

"how do I say this?"

Chai Rong said: "If my guess is correct, Murong Yanzhao will definitely find a way to prevent Liu Chengyou from continuing to attack the city, but he knows very well in his heart that his words will have no effect, and he must find someone who can suppress Liu Chengyou to come to Tongguan Come on, this is the only way to stop Liu Chengyou's nonsense. There are only three people in the world who can suppress Liu Chengyou, Zhendong King Liu Chong, Yan Wang Murong Yanchao, and Empress Dowager Li Sanniang. Zhendong King Liu Chong is already helping my adoptive father to mobilize troops. Going to Tongguan to help Liu Chengyou, it is useless for Li Sanniang to invite her here, so whether it is Liu Chengyou or Murong Yanzhao, there is only one choice, that is Yan Wang Murong Yanchao. This person is brave and good at fighting. He is by no means mediocre, and this person has a heavy army in his hands, at least tens of thousands of people, if he comes to Tongguan, even if he attacks us by force, he may not be able to defend."

"Murong Yanchao? You're in trouble." Zhao Kuangyin said, "That shameless monk Zongxin made a calculation at the beginning. He said that Murong Yanchao would freeze and starve to death. He would never freeze and starve to death if the two armies fought , so...if he comes to Tongguan, I'm afraid we really won't be able to keep it."
