Guo Wei led the army to gallop all the way, quickly advancing to Kaifeng, and the speed of the army was so fast that Kaifeng City couldn't react.

On November 11 of that year, we can say that this was called the Singles' Day incident, and Liu Chengyou washed the court in blood.

On November 14, Guo Wei received a secret letter and sent troops to approach Kaifeng.

On November 16, Guo Wei arrived in Lanzhou, and made peace with Wang Yin, the envoy of the Lanzhou Festival, and went south together.

On November 18, Guo Wei arrived in Huazhou and met with Liu Yanwu, the envoy of Huazhou Festival, who opened the city gate to welcome Guo Wei. said: "It's the country that is sorry for Ming Gong, Ming Gong is not sorry for the country, please Ming Gong hurry up and get on the road, don't delay and don't delay, stabilize the country and wash away grievances, at this time." Liu Yanwu went south so together.

At this time, Guo Wei was only a hundred miles away from Kaifeng City, and Liu Chengyou immediately ordered the envoys from all over the country to quickly lead the troops to the king. To Liu Chengyou's delight, although many Jiedu envoys fell to Guo Wei, there were also many Jiedu envoys who led troops to respond to him, and the biggest one was Murong Yanchao's troops from Yanzhou, and the next day history will prove that this Murong Yanchao is really extraordinary.

There are people and guns, and the monarchs and ministers of Kaifeng City are all relieved. But immediately, a new problem arose, and there was no money. According to the practice of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, if you want soldiers to fight, you have to take money. This is reasonable, if an inner general tells you that you will receive money after the battle, then he is a bastard, and you let the dead body get up with you to receive the money?

But the problem is that the state has no money. In recent decades, in the land of the Later Han Dynasty, the Khitan and various dynasties have been looting the people's fat and people's cream, not to mention the money, and even the tofu dregs are gone. It is estimated that even if Liu Chengyou sells the queen, he will not want to make up the money.

In the end, Li Yan, a close confidant of the emperor, knelt down for Prime Minister Su Fengji, and burst into tears: "Please think about the Son of Heaven and stop sparing money." Prime Minister Su Fengji's face was like earth, and he said: "I am by no means stingy with money, but there is really no money in the treasury." Li Yan said what he really thought: "There are still some three melons and two dates in the treasury. Take it all out. The prime minister sighed, things have come to such a point, don't say anything, and the country is gone. As a result, the treasury of the Later Han Dynasty was gone.

But this money, too little, just like spreading a big pie, distributed to the soldiers, that is, 20 copper coins (about equal to 4,600 yuan now), this is only the treatment of the Kaifeng forbidden army, and the army of the local festival envoys will be halved on this basis, only 10 copper coins (about 2,300 yuan now)

On November 19th, Guo Wei led his troops to advance again, but the troops from all over the country had not yet arrived, Liu Chengyou could only send Yuan Shanyi, the commander of the Zuo Shenwu Army, and Liu Chongjin, the envoy of Dengzhou Jiedu, to lead the forbidden army to Chigang to garrison, and Guo Wei led his troops to attack. After a day and night of fierce fighting, Yuan Shanyi and Liu Chongjin were defeated, and Yin Houyi of Kaifeng Prefecture led reinforcements to Chigang, and retreated the next day.

The next day, November 20th, Liu Chengyou's army was assembled, and the forbidden army and the troops of the local Jiedu envoys set out with this pitiful money to meet the rebel army that could plunder Kaifeng City for ten years as long as they defeated Liu Chengyou. Liu Chengyou sent his army out of Kaifeng City at the head of Kaifeng City, and the number of troops seemed to be very large, but who would lead the army?

Liu Chengyou's heart couldn't help but be flooded with memories of a year ago. A year ago, Liu Chengyou went to Guo Wei's house for help, at that time Guo Wei was Liu Chengyou's last hole card, and it was Liu Chengyou's last move to maintain the stability of the court and the stability of the country. But now, this strongman is reversed, so who can deal with him, Murong Yanchao, can only be him. Liu Chengyou's heart is bottomless, no one knows who Liu Chengyou wants to play in his heart.

Let's talk about this Murong Yanchao now, of course, there is nothing to introduce, because the age is unknown, the official position is unknown, the place of origin is unknown, the parents are unknown, and the past experience is unknown. Typical three-no personnel.

The only thing that is clear is that this must be a man, but the position is that of the Taining Jiedu envoy stationed in Yanzhou. Other than that, I don't know anything. It is this three-no person who is about to decide the direction of the Later Han Dynasty and the fate of Emperor Liu Chengyou.

No one knows who the ideal leader in Liu Chengyou's heart is, but Guo Wei's march is too fast, Liu Chengyou doesn't have time to react, so he can only send whoever runs faster and who leads more troops, Murong Yan is the fastest and leads the most soldiers, which directly proves that his vitality and enthusiasm are the strongest, so send him.

So it was not Murong Yanchao who was chosen by history, it was Murong Yanchao who created history. According to records, Murong Yanchao faced Guo Wei with the confidence of victory that day, and before leaving, Murong Yanchao said to Liu Chengyou: "The minister will win, in the minister's opinion, the northern army is just a few midges and insects, which can be pinched to death at will, and I will capture Guo Wei alive for Your Majesty." Then he went to the battlefield with great pride, where he would leave his mark in the annals of history.

On November 21st, Deng Zipo, Guo Wei was only less than 100 miles away from Kaifeng City, and if Guo Wei was defeated, he would be able to wave his troops into Kaifengcheng, and then the Han Dynasty would be over. defeated, Guo Wei stopped there. The country's luck is a battle.

Guo Wei faced Murong Yanchao. Guo Wei's soldiers and horses couldn't see the edge at a glance, and Murong Yanchao's subordinates began to be afraid, but they didn't expect Murong Yanchao to not even blink an eye, they seemed to be even more excited, and ordered to line up. Seeing that the two sides were about to go to war, at this time, someone suddenly came to report: "His Majesty the Emperor is here in person." ”

"Even, His Majesty the Emperor is here." Murong Yanchao became even more excited. He first ordered the soldiers to grab their weapons and stand straighter. Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengyou and three or four prime ministers, five or six ministers, were in the dust, inspecting the troops, promising a better life to defeat Guo Wei in the future. After going through the motions. Liu Chengyou called Murong Yanchao aside and asked, "Murong Yanchao, are you sure to defeat Guo Wei?" This is the reason why Liu Chengyou really came, if Liu Chengyou didn't get an answer, he could die in a hurry.

I saw that Murong Yanchao suddenly became excited, and his voice was very loud: "The minister will win, and Your Majesty will see how the minister breaks the thief, the minister does not have to fight with the rebels, as long as the minister shouts an order, Guo Wei will be killed before the army." ”

Liu Chengyou and the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and I was relieved that you would win if you said that you would win. Liu Chengyou then retreated backwards so that His Excellency could command the battle. It's a pity that they walked a little faster, as long as they walked a little slower, they would hear another sentence from Murong Yanchao. I saw Murong Yanchao say to his subordinates: "Guo Wei's subordinates on the other side have those generals." ”

Co-authored Murong Yanchao dared to say that he could win without even knowing who was on the other side, and with such an unreliable general, Liu Chengyou could be undefeated.

As soon as the soldiers under his command heard Murong Yanchao say this, their faces suddenly turned pale, "We are about to start a war, the commander doesn't even know who the opponent is, and the commander led us to rush to the bottom of Kaifeng City, and I didn't have any preparation before." ”
