Chapter 316: Too Many Old Fritters

With Lei Hong's strength, he certainly doesn't need to lie, so his words are convincing. Of course, I don't dare to disagree.

Lei Hong continued: "King Zhendong, let's talk ugly things ahead, you have given birth to so many children, only Liu Zan, this kid looks pleasing to the eye, and his ability is not bad, not only understands current affairs but also has a good way of speaking and doing things, I have no opinion on him being the emperor, at least it is much better than Liu Chengyou's mediocrity." But don't think about other people, even if you are too old, you can't be the emperor for a few years, and the other children are not very good, if you choose someone who is stupider than Liu Chengyou to be the emperor, I Lei Hong will never agree. So eldest nephew, you have to take care of yourself, the two armies have no eyes in front of the formation, if you die, everyone will have to fight for this throne, and then there is no telling how many people will be bloodied because of grabbing this throne. ”

Liu Chong and Liu Zan looked at Lei Hong very differently, his words were simply forcing Liu Zan to die. There were no people present who did not want to be emperors, including Lei Hong himself. deliberately said that Liu Zan was so important, everyone would have the idea of killing him, as long as Liu Zan died, there would be no one to inherit the throne, and then they would choose one of the capable people. The family surnamed Liu has no chance, and it's really hard to say who the world belongs to.

As long as Liu Zan is killed, many people present may become emperors, but Fan Leihong has created such a condition, and many people in the camp have begun to think about how to make Liu Zan die. There was even a hint of murderous intent exuding from someone's body.

Liu Zan suddenly felt that there was a lot more murderous aura around him, did Lei Hong say this to kill himself? Liu Chong was speechless in surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, what Lei Hong said was right, it is not suitable to be called emperor at this time when he is old, and the other children are not bad in his eyes, but they are not talents who rule the world, and Liu Zan is only barely qualified. If he doesn't save Liu Zan's life, he is afraid that the country will change hands, and it will no longer be the world of his Liu family.

However, Lei Hong has already spoken, and everyone agrees that if Liu Chong lets other children ascend the throne and become emperors, everyone here will be dissatisfied. Only some of these soldiers belong to Liu Chong, and this throne may fall into someone's house.

People like Lei Hong, who don't plan to be emperors, have the most weight to speak, which makes Liu Chong and Liu Zan not around, and the most hateful thing is that Lei Hong's words just now are praising Liu Zan and not belittling him, and Liu Chong can't lose his temper because of this.

Now Liu Zan feels extremely dangerous, if Lei Hong doesn't say this, maybe the others don't have ideas. But since Lei Hong has already spoken out, it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions. The most hateful thing is that these people all agree with Lei Hong's words, although Liu Chong and Liu Zan also agree, but this is a great disaster for Liu Zan.

"It's too early for Lei Gong to say this, now let's discuss how to break the seal. Liu Chongdao: "Kaifeng is naturally not as strong as Tongguan, but the materials are abundant, the grain and grass are sufficient, and it may be easy to encircle Kaifeng, so you can only attack." This king still thinks that he should take advantage of Liu Chengyou's lack of Zhang reinforcements to quickly capture Kaifeng and achieve great things. Since it is Murong Yanchao, this person must die. ”

"But I heard that Master Zongxin calculated a hexagram for Murong Yanchao, Murong Yanchao died of cold and starvation, and he would never die in front of the two armies. Because of this, Murong Yanchao is far more fierce than before, and has always rushed to the front of the team. Even when attacking Tongguan, he was the first to bear the brunt, Murong Yanchao was seriously injured but couldn't die. Do you have the confidence to defeat him?" Wei Renpu said: "Let's wait for Lord Guo, his martial arts and art of war are above Murong Yanchao, and the siege of the city is originally unfavorable to the attacking party, so why sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain?"

"Lord Guo, Lord Guo. Could it be that no one in my Han can lead troops to fight except Guo Wei?" Liu Chong said angrily: "This king is also a horse all his life, so I don't believe that he can't compare to this Guo Wei." This king will go to see Guo Wei tomorrow, he wants to continue like this, this prince will lead a large army to attack Kaifeng, and he doesn't believe that it can't be done without Guo Wei. ”

Although Liu Chong knew that he was inferior to Guo Wei, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, how could he not be able to capture the small Kaifeng? Guo Wei captured Tongguan and broke Murong Yanzhao's 80,000 Hezhong army, which can be said to be the desire of the people in the army, and if he is allowed to lead troops to capture Kaifeng again, this country may not be returned to the Liu family at that time, and if Guo Wei himself becomes emperor, in terms of his prestige in the army, it may not be impossible to succeed.

Liu Chong is also a veteran, and the reason why he made a mistake in the last siege was because he didn't expect that Kaifeng would still have so many troops. Originally, Liu Chong thought that Kaifeng was only left with some remnants of the defeated soldiers brought by Murong Yanchao, because Liu Chong knew Liu Chengyou's strength very well, and he could not have too many troops.

This was just a small mistake, but Liu Chong handled it very well, and withdrew his troops as soon as possible to stop the loss, so as not to lead to the annihilation of the entire army. The loss of more than 10,000 troops, but the 30,000 cavalry of his Zhendong Wangfu was intact, and it had little impact on combat effectiveness, but it was only ...... Cavalry cannot storm a city. It would be a pity if these cavalrymen gave up their mounts, so Liu Chong didn't know what to do.

This time he knew he couldn't storm Kaifeng, but he had to. Because Guo Wei's prestige in the military heart is already too high, if Liu Chong does nothing, Liu Zanbai will not be able to convince the public if he gets the position of an emperor. And what Liu Chong is most afraid of is not convincing the public, after all, this is a situation where many people lead troops to gather together to rebel, as long as one person is not convinced, other people will come to join in the fun, and it will not end at all.

Liu Chong was not afraid of fighting with these people, because his 30,000 cavalry had extremely high combat effectiveness, and it was no problem to face 50,000 or 60,000 ordinary infantry. But Liu Chong was afraid that Guo Wei would get in the way, and when the time came, he would have no chance of winning in the face of Guo Wei's combat effectiveness.

There are all old fritters here, and they know very well in their hearts that whoever sends troops first will suffer losses, and the losses naturally cannot be calculated, some people are unable to bear such losses, and some people are just unwilling to bear losses. These people who don't want to send troops are all forcing Liu Chong, how can it be so easy to become an emperor?

Liu Chong knew that he had to take the lead in sending troops before these people would follow. Their role is to add to the cake, not to give it away. If Liu Zan is allowed to be the emperor, these people will naturally obey the order, but now that he has not become the emperor, there is no need to listen to Liu Chong's orders, and if he wants to be the emperor, he has to pay.

Liu Chong originally hoped to gather everyone's strength to capture Kaifeng, but he also saw that these people had no intention of sending troops first. He must be this bird, otherwise these people would rather go home to watch the play, than send troops first, even if they offend the future emperor, it doesn't matter, no one wants to lose all their belongings in order not to fight the country.

After all, in this year, the most important thing is that you have strength, no matter how many big officials the emperor gives him, not having military power in his hands is like a fiction. Unless they are sure to win, these old fritters will not be easily dispatched. They are very confident in Guo Wei, as long as Guo Wei is present, of course they dare to send troops, but Liu Chong does not have this appeal.

Of course, there is another reason, Liu Chong hopes to take Liu Zan away from these old fritters. Lei Hong's words were more like a reminder that if someone in the army was unfavorable to Liu Zan, the people of the Liu family would never want to be the emperor again.

In order to keep Liu Zan's most favorable conditions, Liu Chong must stay away from Tongguan and these old fritters. At least until Liu Zan becomes emperor, he must not be allowed to come into contact with these people alone.

At this point, the meeting quickly ended.

The next day, Liu Chong immediately went to Tongguan thirty miles to see Guo Wei. But no matter how Liu Chong spoke, Guo Wei was in a daze in front of the tomb, not saying a word or even looking back. Liu Chongzhen had no choice, and after returning to Tongguan, he led all the generals under his tent and those who were willing to follow him straight to the outside of Kaifeng City.

Although there are a lot of old fritters, there are also some people who are willing to follow Liu Chong's attack to open the seal. This time, in addition to the 30,000 cavalry, Liu Chong took 60,000 elite soldiers with him, and took away most of the food supplies. Even if you don't dare to attack the city directly, you must surround Kaifeng and never let anyone escape, it is Murong Yanchao, because Liu Chong knows him too well, this person has the same flaws as Liu Chengyou, and if he can't eliminate Murong Yanchao this time, he will add more trouble in the future.

Murong Yanchao is Liu Chong's biggest heart disease, this person is entrenched in Xuzhou all the year round, he can further attack the Han River, and take a step back to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, so as long as Murong Yanchao is still alive, Liu Chong will not sleep steadily.

Brother for so many years, Liu Chong is very clear about Murong Yanchao's methods. He is a very intelligent madman, and anyone who dares to provoke him will be punished. There are not many people who can restrain Murong Yanchao today, although Guo Wei is one of them, Guo Wei can't stay by his side forever. As long as some gaps are given, if Murong Yanchao suddenly makes a sneak attack, Liu Chong's old life will be gone.

In fact, Liu Chong was not worried about his safety, and he figured out everything when he got older. Liu Chong was afraid that Murong Yanchao would keep an eye on his son Liu Zan. Liu Zan, this kid is really good, although the art of war and martial arts are very average, but in fact, he is very smart, when he attacked Kaifeng, he has been trying his best to stop it, but he didn't stop it. If Murong Yanchao killed Liu Zan's son, the Liu family would really have no hope.

Liu Chong led 30,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry to surround the west gate of Kaifeng, and waited here for news from Tongguan. Waiting for one day is also waiting, two days is also waiting, I don't know how many days I waited, and there was no news from Tongguan at all. Liu Chong understood that the rest were old fritters, and they would not send troops to attack when the enemy army was at its strongest, and unless they took the lead, these people would never send troops.

In desperation, Liu Chong had no choice but to order the siege of the city. It was useless for 30,000 cavalry to attack the city, all the cavalry were disguised as archers, and an army of 60,000 attacked the city with all its might.
