"Judge Jun Chai Rong listen, Guo Wei has committed the following crimes, His Majesty personally gave him the death penalty, and the crime is not as good as his wife and children, if you go out of the city and surrender, I will save your life. Murong Yanzhao took care of the soldiers first and persuaded Chai Rong to surrender. In fact, he didn't want to fight, and it would be great if Chai Rong could take the initiative to surrender. Even if you don't have to offend Zongxin, you can also complete the order given by Liu Chengyou.

"Murong Yanzhao, aren't you afraid that Master Zongxin will settle accounts with you?" Chai Rong smiled: "Do you think that Master Zongxin doesn't know that after escaping from Kaifeng, you will come to the city, he has already prepared a perfect strategy, you will dare to attack the city so that you will die without a place to be buried." ”

Chai Rong's words really scared Murong Yanzhao, everyone knew that Master Zongxin was like a god. Hundreds of thousands of Khitan soldiers and horses died under his plan, and even the Khitan Emperor died in the Central Plains, facing the 80,000 army in Murong Yanzhao's hands now, Zong Xin probably won't take it in his eyes at all.

What's more, defending the city with 30,000 and attacking the city with 80,000 must be a battle to the death, even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory. Murong Yanzhao would not be so stupid and attack the city directly.

Cao Yun and Cao Bin are actually even more afraid, they saw Master Zongxin fly up with Guo Wei's family with their own eyes, if Master Zongxin intends to defend Guo Wei's family, they are afraid that these horses will not be enough to capture Tongguan, but they will be killed without leaving a piece of armor. What's more, Cao Yun and Cao Bin didn't want to attack Tongguan in the first place, but Liu Chengyou's holy decree had been issued, so they had to bite the bullet.

In fact, the most difficult thing is Liu Chengyou, Master Zongxin's maintenance of Guo Wei's family has long been spread all over the world, the most hateful thing is Zong Xin's means of fleeing Kaifeng with Guo Wei's family, everyone in the world knows that Zong Xin flew away with Guo Wei's family, which increased Zongxin's prestige.

In the Central Plains, Zongxin is almost synonymous with God. And killing Guo Wei by himself is not justified, Guo Wei's contribution is far greater than that of Liu Chengyou, the emperor, and now Liu Chengyou not only wants to kill Guo Wei, but also offends Zong Xin, which can be said to be embattled and ambushed on all sides.

At this time, Liu Chengyou did not want to send more troops to encircle and suppress Tongguan, but he did not dare and could not. Even if he issued a holy decree to several Jiedu envoys near Kaifeng to send troops, these people were afraid that they would push left and right, because they did not want to send troops to Zongxin, so as not to offend this monk.

In the end, these people may still send troops, but at most they will besiege Tongguan and will not attack the city. For example, the only people who dare to attack Tongguan today are their cronies Murong Yanzhao, Cao Yun and Cao Bin were originally born in farming, and their fear of Zongxin should not be as strong as these officials, so these two people can also be reluctantly used.

Liu Chengyou really couldn't draw any troops, after all, the Yicheng army needed to protect Kaifeng, and he had to send Hezhong Jiedu envoys to attack Tongguan. But whether Murong Yanzhao dared to attack or not was another matter.

Just when Zong Xin fled Kaifeng, Liu Chengyou knew that he was in trouble, as long as Zong Xin and Guo Wei were still alive, and they were still all the way, it would be difficult for him to sit firmly on the throne. As long as Guo Wei pulls the flag and rebels, I don't know how many people will follow him.

......

"Now that Master Zongxin is not in Tongguan, will I, Murong Yanzhao, be afraid of you Chai Rong?"

Chai Rong smiled and said, "Brother Murong, even if you are not afraid of me Chai Rong, then will you be afraid of Master Zongxin's disciples? ”

Zhao Kuangyin stood on top of the battlement with Guo Xin in his arms, because Guo Xin was too short and standing on the city, so he could see the situation outside, and he really couldn't see this little bald head outside. Now standing on the battlement, everyone can see this little monk.

With a wave of Tianya's right hand, the eighteen horsemen of Youyun jumped up to the city tower, and the nineteen huge wolves and eighteen fierce bearded monks were not lost to the eighty-thousand-strong army on the opposite side alone.

Tianya turned around and jumped behind Xiaobai, and then raised his true anger and shouted: "Youyun Eighteen Riders listen to orders!"

"Roar!~~~"

Not only the roar of the monk, but also the howl of nineteen wolves, the soldiers behind Murong Yanzhao really wanted to retreat, but Murong Yanzhao ruled the army with the law, and whoever dared to take a reckless step would be severely punished. So I insisted on supporting my body with a weapon to prevent myself from moving.

"Murong Yanzhao, if a person dies in Tongguan, the little monk will cut a knife on you, do you believe it or not?" Tianya said: "My master is a high-ranking monk, but I am not." If you provoke my master, he will laugh it off, and if you provoke me, you will call your whole family dead. ”

Tianya's words were very powerful, and Murong Yanzhao also felt embarrassed. It is true that Master Zongxin is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao, and he does not hold grudges, and he has heard that even if those high-ranking monks insult him, he will not go to his heart. But this little monk is different, he is not a high-ranking monk, but he is a disciple of Zongxin. He is the person who cannot be messed with, if he learns the skills of Zongxin and is not willing to be a monk...... He's going to be the toughest, scariest guy in the world.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that this kid is still Guo Wei's son. Now that Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei are in this situation, the two sides have made a feud. The city guard is the eldest brother of this kid, and of course he has to protect his family. With this troublesome matter, Murong Yanzhao didn't know what to do.

If it were someone else, they might really force the siege. But Murong Yanzhao is different, he knows Zongxin's true identity. When Zong Xin overthrew Li Shouzhen, he trapped the 8,000 men and horses of the Yicheng Army with the strength of one person. There are two reasons for this, first of all, Murong Yanzhao is really afraid of Zong Xin, a high-ranking monk, and before Zong Xin's side has begun to fall, this kind of spell is too terrifying.

Secondly, Zong Xin showed the Night King Order to Murong Yanzhao, and Murong Yanzhao knew at that time that Zong Xin was Lei Tianyong, the third son of Lei Hong.

Murong Yanzhao knew that Zong Xin must have gone to Chang'an to find Lei Hong to lead the troops to counterattack, if he attacked the city at this time, he was really afraid that he would be attacked by the enemy, and he would be a dead end at that time.

Murong Yanzhao said with a smile: "Little monk, don't be so arrogant, don't I know how much skill you have? Give you three days, if you don't surrender after three days, this commander will be ready to attack the city." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, attack if you want, don't wait three more days. "Tianya also has a temper, and he can finally be arrogant once, facing Murong Yanzhao, Tianya has nothing to fear. If they have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they want to storm the 30,000 defenders of Tongguan, and I'm afraid it's not so easy.

As long as they delay and wait for Master's reinforcements to arrive, none of their tens of thousands of horses will survive.

"Let's go. Murong Yanzhao took Cao Yun and Cao Bin and the two immediately returned to their camp, withdrew three miles outside Tongguan, and began to build a camp to prepare for a long-term siege.

Liu Chengyou's biggest mistake in life was to let Murong Yanzhao attack Tongguan, Murong Yanzhao knew Zong Xin's true identity, so he would never storm Tongguan, because this would make enemies with Zong Xin and Guo Wei.

Murong Yanzhao is quite well-informed, he has long heard that Guo Wei is either the third son of heaven or the first prince, and now that he is like this, I am afraid that the princes of his first generation have no chance, that is, the three-year son of heaven, that is to say, Guo Wei will overthrow Liu Chengyou and ascend the throne as emperor. Murong Yanzhao would not be stupid enough to offend the future emperor.

That being said, Cao Yun and Cao Bin are also there, and now they can only delay time. If Liu Chengyou saw that he had no intention of attacking the city, and he personally led the army to accept the Hezhong army to attack the city again, he would have no choice.

It is a question whether Liu Chengyou will personally conquer Tongguan, but now Liu Chengyou has been forced to jump over the wall, and now the whole world is accusing him, not only the people but also the officials, everyone thinks that Liu Chengyou will not be the emperor for a long time.

But everything is still inconclusive, at least Liu Chengyou is still the emperor. Moreover, Liu Chengyou has a handle of Murong Yanzhao in his hand, so even if Murong Yanzhao doesn't want to attack the city, if Liu Chengyou personally conquers Tongguan, he will have to attack if he doesn't want to.

The reason is very simple, Liu Chengyou does not trust these ministers, and the ministers must have family members in Kaifeng to make him feel at ease. But Murong Yanzhao's wife is still in the river, and only Murong Yanzhao's younger brother Murong Yanzhong is the hostage.

Liu Chengyou naturally didn't say it explicitly, but just asked Cizhou to assassinate Murong Yanzhong to go to Kaifeng to discuss matters, but Liu Chengyou just didn't see him, saying that there was something important. Therefore, Murong Yanzhong stayed in Kaifeng and waited for His Majesty to summon him. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts, Liu Chengyou is this kind of person, if there is no handle in his hands, Liu Chengyou will not let this person lead the troops with peace of mind.

Back in the camp, Murong Yanzhao said to Cao Yun: "General Cao, Tongguan is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, these 80,000 Hezhong troops are not rice taro, which soldier has no parents, wives and children? Their lives are also extremely precious to some people." If you forcibly attack the city...... I'm afraid that even if Tongguan is captured, it will be a miserable victory. ”

Cao Yun nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, but what's the use? Whether you attack the city or not, in your words, I, Cao Yun, will never overstep my authority." As you know, I'm just a farmer, and I'm not good at marching and attacking cities, so if there's anything I can tell me to do, I'll pick something I can do to do it, and I'll figure it out...... It's up to the adults to decide for themselves. ”

Cao Yun is honest, because he really doesn't know how to march and set up formations, so he doesn't care about this kind of thing. It was also a good thing to throw all the problems to Murong Yanzhao, anyway, Cao Yun didn't want to attack the city, because there were important people in the city.

"Then wait for them for three days, and if they surrender within three days, everything will be fine. If they don't surrender, let's talk about what should happen. ”

Cao Yun nodded, Cao Bin didn't say a word, but his face was a little unsightly. Cao Yun took Cao Bin back to his tent, and both of them were so anxious that their heads were sweating.

"Dad, we can't let Murong Yanzhao attack the city, let's slaughter him when necessary. Cao Bin said: "The lives of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are trivial, and even Guo Xin, Zong Xin's apprentice, doesn't matter. But if we attack Tongguan, my little aunt will be unhappy. You also know the temper of the little aunt, and the two of us don't know what we will be scolded for when the time comes. ”

Cao Yun sighed: "Your little aunt is just disobedient...... Now I can't help it. Assassinating Murong Yanzhao is absolutely not okay, this is disloyalty and injustice. But I can't ignore your aunt's thoughts, and I don't know what to do. ”
