Chapter 304: Accurate Calculations
Murong Yanchao was not a true loyal minister, but the actual situation made him have to be a loyal minister. If you want to keep your position and not die of cold and starvation, you must ensure that Jiangshan is still in the Liu family, and you must not let Guo Wei take advantage of this.
What's more, there was originally a contradiction between Murong Yanchao and Guo Wei, and he knew that if Guo Wei became the emperor, he would never let him go. If you want to talk about military strength and military quality, Murong Yanchao can only bow to the upper hand, and you have to talk about martial arts...... is even more incomparable, Guo Wei is already a top master, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger. Although Murong Yanchao had only heard about this, the news was very accurate, because it was what his father-in-law, King Xue, told him.
King Xue had only met Guo Wei once, and the two had not spoken seriously. But the induction between the masters may only need to listen to his breathing to know how deep this person's skill is. King Xue saw at a glance that Guo Wei's strength had greatly improved, and later after a lot of investigation, he learned that it was Zong Xin who taught Guo Wei a set of printing methods, which made his internal strength rise sharply, and now Guo Wei's martial arts are definitely not what Murong Yan can catch up.
Even if there was no Nine Seals Yi Pulse Method, Murong Yanchao was also Guo Wei's defeated general, which he knew very well in his heart. The only person in the world who can defeat Guo Wei and is willing to help him is the soldier father Xue Wang, but it is a pity that the soldier father has returned to Kunlun Mountain, not to mention that in terms of King Xue's character, he will never be an enemy of Guo Wei for his son-in-law.
Murong Yanchao has no choice, Guo Wei's strength is too strong, and his attainments in the art of war are too high. As long as he is given enough troops, it will not be difficult to fight back Kaifeng. Originally, Murong Yanchao didn't want to be a head-on enemy with Guo Wei, but Guo Wei wanted to seize the Han River, and Murong Yanchao was afraid that Zongxin's prophecy would come true, so he had to bite the bullet.
"Your Majesty, if you have the heart to fight this battle, I, as an uncle, will naturally accompany you to the end. Anyway, I don't have anything to fear, it's summer, and there is plenty of food and grass in the army, I won't die. Murong Yanchao said: "At the beginning, Master Zongxin calculated a hexagram for me, and I would die of cold and starvation. Now the conditions here are not met, you don't have to worry about my safety, anything dangerous for me to do, I will not die. β
"Don't put that monk in front of me...... If it weren't for him, Guo Wei would have died a long time ago. β
"Admit it, if Master Zongxin wants to kill you, will you still be able to survive until now? How many chances does he have to be alone with you so far? What is the comparison between your two martial arts? Master Zongxin did not deliberately oppose you, it was you who were too uncompetitive and too nonsense. Murong Yanchao said: "I have admired two people in my life, the eldest brother Liu Zhiyuan is half of it, although Rong Ma has a lifetime, he made a big mistake before he died, that is, to pass on the country to you." The second is my father-in-law, King Xue, the head of the Kunlun faction, and his martial arts are by no means under Guo Wei, but it's a pity that he is a despicable villain, and he has no profit or ambition, so he can only be regarded as half. The one who admires the most is Master Zongxin, who dares to disobey him today?"
Although Murong Yanchao and Liu Chengyou hated Zong Xin, they were also very afraid of him and believed in him. Murong Yanchao had already believed that Zong Xin said that he died of cold and starvation, and he dared to rush to the front in front of the two armies, because he believed that he would not die here.
Liu Chengyou thought about it carefully, in fact, what Uncle Sanhuang said was right. Master Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, how many times he has the opportunity to kill himself? I can't count it, since Zongxin didn't do it, it proves that Zongxin actually doesn't hate himself. Originally, the relationship between the two was very good, and Zongxin had been giving advice to himself, but it was a pity that he ...... Why do you want to do it to Guo Wei?
Liu Chengyou always felt that Zong Xin was planning what he did to Guo Wei, but Zong Xin never officially mentioned it, it was all his own reverie.
Murong Yanzhao said: "As the saying goes, bodhisattvas are afraid of causes, and mortals are afraid of results. Master Zongxin is not an extraordinary person, he will only send certain people to the intersection, see which way you go, your choice is destined for his behavior. Is Your Majesty worried about why Master Zongxin helped Guo Wei but didn't assist His Majesty? There is no need to think about this, the reason is actually very simple, Guo Wei is a good person. β
"What do you mean by that I'm a bad person?"
"No, no, no, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven does not distinguish between good and bad. It's just that His Majesty can't do what Guo Wei did. "Murong Yanzhao no longer regards Liu Chengyou as the emperor, and now he is just ridiculing. Anyway, he has the most troops here, and Liu Chengyou doesn't dare to do anything with himself.
Murong Yanchao sighed: "Loyal words are against the ear, you can listen to what others say in the future, and just try to be a good emperor." I hope you can get through the difficulties this time, otherwise you will be too sorry for the big brother's generation who fought in the north and south, and won this country in the last move. β
"Uncle Huang, don't you know, Zongxin calculated that I would not live to be 20 years old, I should have died a long time ago, and when Yelu Deguang waved his army south, my yang life was exhausted. However, I got a copy of the Red Emperor True Yuan, and it was this Red Emperor True Yuan that allowed me to live for an extra year. So I want to get more of the Red Emperor True Yuan so that I can continue my life. It just so happens that Guo Wei has a Red Emperor True Yuan in his body, why should I kill you?"
"Don't you know how to figure out from other people? Do you have to ask Guo Wei for the Red Emperor True Yuan?" Murong Yanchao said: "And...... In terms of Guo Wei's character, as long as you don't move his family, he will willingly commit suicide in front of you. You have to threaten the lives of his whole family, isn't that looking for death?"
"I can't help it......" Liu Chengyou said: "Chai Rong is definitely not a thing in the pool, Guo Xin is a disciple of Zongxin, what if they come to me to settle accounts?
"Forget it, it's annoying to hear you say this. Murong Yanchao said: "You have done a lot of things wrong, I hope you will never do anything wrong in the future, otherwise even I, the third uncle, will not help you." β
Liu Chengyou is actually already introspecting, if he hadn't done these things wrong, maybe he wouldn't have attracted so many enemies at all. Because they are Guo Wei and Zong Xin, these two people simply took their own lives. Now Guo Wei is rebelling in Chang'an, if he returns to Kaifeng...... Even if Guo Wei is soft and lets himself live, the second uncle Liu Chong will not let himself go, and it will definitely be a dead end when the time comes.
There are some things that these people will never know, only Zhao Kuangyin sees them. Zong Xin was originally killing Liu Chengyou, everything was operated by Zong Xin behind his back, even including Liu Chengyou's desire to kill Guo Wei, Zong Xin reminded him and constantly instilled this concept.
So far, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know what Zong Xin's purpose is, why he wants to overthrow Liu Shijiangshan and deliberately let Guo Wei ascend the throne as emperor. Zhao Kuangyin doesn't believe in the will of heaven, and he knows Zongxin too well, Zongxin is doing things according to his own ideas, but what good does Zongxin do for him by doing this?
According to Zongxin's plan, after Guo Wei ascended the throne, he pacified the left and right, and then passed the throne to Chai Rong, who consolidated and developed and expanded his territory. The last step is that Zhao Kuangyin rebelled and ascended the throne, in short, Zong Xin did all this as if he wanted Zhao Kuangyin to ascend the throne and become emperor.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that Zong Xin was very good to him, but he couldn't believe that the shameless monk had done this for him, and he started planning immediately after knowing him.
Liu Chengyou was still thinking about what he had done wrong, and shook his head helplessly: "Uncle Huang, I only understand one thing now, the military power really can't be handed over to others, otherwise the emperor is also a poor worm." It's no wonder that you have been consolidating your power together all these years, I used to think it was naΓ―ve, but now I know how important it is to have military power in your hands. β
"It's good to know, I hope I can get through this crisis. Let's settle accounts with these people in the future, and now we will focus on the immediate matter. Murong Yanchao said: "Murong Yanzhao, you are a loyal minister among loyal ministers, as long as you can defeat Guo Wei this time, you don't need to be rewarded by Your Majesty, Lao Tzu will reward you with a prince." β
"Thank you, King Yan, thank you, Your Majesty. β
Liu Chengyou waved his hand, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he knew that it was not easy for Murong Yanzhao to listen to his words and send troops to Tongguan, although he had some quarrels with him these days, but Murong Yanzhao was the real loyal minister. Forget about the things of these days, and I won't settle accounts with him in the future.
"By the way, the herald just now seems to have something to report, pass it quickly. Liu Chengyou discussed half of it before he remembered such a thing.
The heralds immediately entered the camp tent, sweating profusely. Because what he wanted to report was very important, but he didn't let him report it just now, and now it's too late, and I don't know what to do. The herald was so anxious that he was sweating outside the camp, and finally heard the message, but at this time the herald really didn't know what to say.
"What did you want to report just now?"
The herald said: "Several merchant ships loaded with grain and grass appeared on the banks of the Wei River, and these merchant ships were unloaded immediately after King Yan entered the camp, and Tongguan sent troops to escort them. Depending on the situation, all the grain and grass have been moved into Tongguan. The spies were powerless to rob the grain, and without His Majesty's order, the camp could not send troops, so they could only watch the ......"
"Bastard, such an important matter is only reported now?" Murong Yanchao's eyes were red in a hurry, this was a good opportunity to eliminate Tongguan, and he actually let it slip away in front of him like this?
"King Yan doesn't need to be angry...... Murong Yanzhao said: "It seems that the other party has already planned this, these merchant ships must be hiding nearby, and they have not dared to show their faces." Taking advantage of King Yan's entry into the camp, he transported grain and grass to Tongguan, thinking that Chai Rong and others must have expected King Yan to come to Tongguan, so they made this arrangement. Besides, it was His Majesty who asked the herald not to report just now, and it was not his fault...... You go down first. β
Murong Yanchao was so angry that he wanted to kill, but at this time, there was only this herald in the camp who could kill, but he was stopped by Murong Yanzhao. The herald immediately fled from the camp after receiving the order to retreat, for fear that if he took a slow step, he would be killed by King Yan's palm.
If you think about it, it does. How can there be such a coincidental thing in the world? The other party must have made arrangements in advance, and Zhizhi Pu's strength was invincible, and he was robbed if he forcibly transported grain, and deliberately took this opportunity to transport grain and grass to Tongguan. Although it was a plan, there was nothing to be done.
