Inside Tongguan

Murong Yanzhao's troops came to the city, Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong stared at the tens of thousands of people under the city and swallowed their saliva non-stop, and now in Tongguan, in addition to Guo Wei's original 20,000 horses, there are also some people and horses of Li Shouzhen and Zhao Sijuan, adding up to a total of 30,000 troops.

30,000 troops defended the city, and 80,000 came to attack it...... Since Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they may not lose. It's just that being trapped in Tongguan has become very psychologically stressful.

The eighteen horsemen of Youyun obeyed the order and immediately rushed out of the city to kill all the 80,000 horses, leaving not a single one. ”

"Listen to you, how stupid are you to be our brothers? Eighteen people go to cut so many tens of thousands, and one person can drown us with a soak of urine. Lao Yi: "The surname is Zhao, don't pretend to be the boss here, we only listen to Zongxin's words." You can listen to Tianya when necessary, but you also have to consider whether you can do it. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was very embarrassed, just joking, the old one was so angry.

Tianya said: "Big brother, I'm not 10 years old yet, and my catastrophe hasn't passed yet, right?" ”

"Don't worry, you worship Zongxin as a teacher, and you shouldn't worry about your life. If there is danger, the Eighteen Riders of the Clouds will escort you out of Tongguan. "Chai Rong is very confident in Zongxin, and he is also very confident in the monks of the Eighteen Horsemen of Youyun.

A few days ago, Xiaobai returned to Tongguan with two gray wolves, and at that time, there was also a secret report from Kaifeng, and Zongxin took Guo Wei's family and flew away from the seal in front of Liu Chengyou's eyes.

Everyone was excited when they heard the news, but at the same time they were depressed. Zhao Kuangyin regretted it very much, he knew that he would go to Kaifeng with Zong Xin and them, and he had never flown in his life. I thought this trip was dangerous......

No wonder Zong Xin said that he was going to regret it, and he really did something to make his eyes shine. Zhao Kuangyin knew that there was no loss in following Zongxin, but going to Kaifeng like this was tantamount to death. Zong Xin can stay out of the matter, but Guo Wei is basically a dead end. Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to cause more trouble, so he didn't go with him, but who would have thought that this shameless monk would really rescue Guo Wei's family from Kaifeng, and he flew away.

Tianya also regrets it, because he also wants to know what it's like to fly. And I really didn't know that my master could fly. He is really in a hurry to do everything, this master is too powerful, how many years will it take him to learn to fly?

Tianya said: "It's a pity, the master hasn't taught me all his skills, if he teaches me all his skills, don't say that there are tens of thousands of troops here, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, I don't care about them." ”

"Don't brag in front of me, hundreds of thousands of troops...... Zongxin himself had to pee his pants in fright. Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Not accompanying Zongxin to Kaifeng may be the thing I regret the most in my life, or even the only thing I regret." Because I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to regret it again. Once these people attack the city, we can only defend it to the death, as long as Tongguan is broken, we will have a dead end. ”

Chai Rong said: "That's right, but Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, far stronger than ordinary cities, and it is not easy to break through Tongguan." What's more, there are 30,000 troops in the city, as long as there is enough food and grass, it will definitely last until Master Zongxin and my father-in-law come back. ”

"I don't know where this group of people went, even if they are alive now, according to my estimate, Guo Wei may rush to reinforce, but Zong Xin will definitely not, that shameless monk is more afraid of death than anyone else, unless he brings troops to reinforce, otherwise I want Zong Xin to accompany us to guard Tongguan, you can dream about it." ”

Chai Rong didn't understand very much, why did Zhao Kuangyin say this about Master Zongxin? Master Zongxin was still afraid of death? Zongxin was righteous and awe-inspiring, and accompanying his father-in-law to Kaifeng could be said to be nine deaths, and in the face of Liu Chengyou's tens of thousands of troops in Kaifeng, they were not afraid of a few people. Now that Tongguan has 30,000 troops, what is Master Zongxin afraid of?

Tianya nodded and said: "Uncle Zhao is right, my master will definitely not accompany us to guard Tongguan, at most, he will borrow troops to reinforce and give Murong Yanzhao a front and back attack." But if Master can't borrow soldiers, he won't watch us die, he will close his eyes. ”

Zhao Kuangyin very much agrees with Tianya's words, and is also very pleased, in this world, he has not only seen through Zongxin's shamelessness.

"Third brother, how can you slander Master Zongxin like this?

"Zongxin/Master is such a person......" Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya also didn't understand, wasn't Chai Rong very smart? He didn't even see Zong Xin's true face clearly? But Zong Xin's superficial kung fu was really good yesterday, if he hadn't been with him for a long time, it would be difficult to see through his despicability and shamelessness.

Chai Rong was so angry that he almost opened his mouth to curse, but in the face of Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya Chai Rong, he couldn't open his mouth, because they had spent far more time with Zong Xin than themselves, so they were qualified to comment on him like this, but these comments were completely slanderous, absolutely slanderous.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Chai Rong, you can accept it if I say it another way." Zongxin is smart in doing this, Tongguan City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 30,000 troops in the city, it doesn't matter if he Zongxin comes or not. Now the most important thing for Zong Xin to do is to borrow troops, if there is a large army to fight in front and rear, he will definitely be able to break Murong Yanzhao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and when the time comes, he will meet in Tongguan and wave his army east to take Liu Chengyou's country in one fell swoop. So he won't accompany us to stick to Tongguan. ”

Tianya said: "Yes, the master is smart when he does this, otherwise he will stick to Tongguan and die." At the beginning, Li Shouzhen and Zhao Sijuan were because they stuck to Tongguan and had no reinforcements, so that my father built a fortress outside the city and forced Li Shouzhen to jump off the wall in a hurry, they did not have reinforcements, if a fortress was built outside the city and wanted to attack the city, it would not be difficult, so he had to go out of the city and demolish these fortresses. But if they had reinforcements, they would have been flanked in front and back, and my father's army of 20,000 would have died long ago. How can such a smart person as my master not know the truth of forgetting the past and the teacher of the future?"

After listening to these explanations, Chai Rong felt much more comfortable. In fact, the meaning is the same, but in a different way. Zong Xin will definitely borrow troops for reinforcements, if Zong Xin does not borrow troops, he can only watch the Tong Pass break, and will never run to Tong Pass to hold on with them.

"Yes, yes, it's good that my father-in-law and Master Zongxin don't come. Chai Rong said: "If they are all in Tongguan, I am afraid that we will be trapped alive in Tongguan like Li Shouzhen." But if they leave, there is a chance to find reinforcements, and the Tongguan side has a glimmer of life. Therefore, before Zongxin and his father-in-law find reinforcements, we must guard the gate of Tongguan. ”

Tianya nodded and said, "Big brother, that's right." I estimate that the shortest is two months, and at most three months, and my master will definitely rush to Tongguan with reinforcements. But we have to defend to the death in these months, and we must delay until my master brings troops to reinforce us. ”

"How do you know that the shortest is two months, and the maximum is only three months?" Did Master Zongxin tell you?" Chai Rong was very strange, how could Tianya know about such a thing? Even he didn't know about it.

Tianya said: "I did my own calculations, haven't you learned arithmetic?" When Master once taught me arithmetic, I was also shocked, I didn't remember any of these formulas...... But if you just take this place, you don't need a formula, just do a little calculation to know that it will take at least that much time. ”

'Smack~' Zhao Kuangyin patted Tianya's little bald head, and then said: "Don't learn from your master to be so oily and smooth, to be honest." ”

Tianya said helplessly: "I guess, okay." Don't hit me on the head all the time, what if you hit me stupid?"

"I'm not stupid, I was beaten every day when I was a child, do you think I'm stupid?"

Tianya and Chai Rong both stared at Zhao Kuangyin, and Chai Rong immediately pulled Tianya next to him and prevented Zhao Kuangyin from beating again. Obviously, the people who are beaten every day are a little stupid, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't find out about it.

Although Tianya guessed, this estimate was similar to what Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong thought. Zongxin can invite Lei Hong, and I believe that he can also call Lei Hong's army.

Zhao Kuangyin is very clear about the relationship between Zongxin and Lei Hong, Chai Rong only vaguely feels that the relationship between the two is not shallow, and their relationship is definitely higher than the twenty percent of Zongxin's Yandao business, because before the Yandao business, Lei Hong showed a state of obedience to Master Zongxin.

Therefore, Zong Xin can call on the matter of Lei Hong's army, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are very sure. If you want to go from Kaifeng to Chang'an, let Lei Hong call the army, and order the troops to go to Tongguan again, I am afraid that it will take more than a month. If Lei Hong goes on an expedition, it will be tantamount to a rebellion, and there will definitely be resistance on the way, so it is about the same to estimate the time to two to three months.

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong are very worried, they are worried that they will not last so long. None of them have experienced the taste of being besieged by tens of thousands of people. At this time, it depends on Chai Rong and his psychological quality, if Chai Rong is a fierce general, he should be able to turn the danger into a disaster, after all, there are 30,000 people defending the city, and less than 100,000 attacking the city, depending on the ability of the main general.

The 80,000 people under the city were neatly arranged, Murong Yanzhao managed the army well, the 80,000 people were not messy, and they were only a few dozen meters away from the city gate.

At this time, no one dared to speak in the huge Tongguan, and no one dared to take a breath in the plain outside the pass, and the whole place was extremely quiet. As long as Murong Yanzhao waved his hand, countless people would die in Huangquan.

Suddenly, three horsemen ran out of the army. The three of them rode horses directly outside the Tongguan City Gate, and Murong Yanzhao, Cao Yun, and Cao Bin came outside Tongguan to prepare for the first negotiation.

Murong Yanzhao looked up at Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin on the battlement, and looked left and right again, making sure that Zong Xin was not in Tongguan at this time, if Zong Xin and Guo Wei did not show up for such a big incident, it would be too unusual. What's more, no one has entered outside Tongguan, and Liu Chengyou has already sent Neiying to convey the news.
