Chapter 288: The Son of Heaven Has Arrived

For the next few days, the enemy army did not move. On the sixth day, when the dust was blowing in the west, a very large procession slowly came, and although this team was huge, there were not many combatants, most of them were people who were proud of this procession.

One by one, they are holding huge avoidance signs, wearing bright red clothes, and there is a drum band in front of them, and in the center is Liu Chengyou's eight large sedan chairs. This is not for war at all, but for tourism.

Chai Rong said: "Liu Chengyou's pomp is really not small, there are at least thousands of people in this line." Master Zongxin said that Liu Chengyou would personally command the siege, but I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he really wants to do it...... Who would have thought that Liu Chengyou, a mediocre talent, was attacking Tongguan for?"

"Don't think about it, it must be to capture you and Tianya, as long as you are in hand, he is not afraid of Lord Guo attacking Kaifeng. Zhao Kuangyin said: "But Liu Chengyou is really stupid enough, if Lord Guo is really a soldier in the city, even if you threaten your life, Lord Guo must also attack the city, because those soldiers are not Lord Guo's, but his borrowed soldiers, and he must not give up the siege for his own selfish desires." ”

This truth is not only understood by Chai Rong, but also by Zhao Kuangyin. If Chai Rong and Tianya were really captured by Liu Chengyou, Guo Wei would definitely not attack Kaifeng. But there is a premise for this situation, and the premise is that the soldiers led by Guo Wei must listen to him.

Perhaps in the military, these soldiers are very obedient, and they all admire Guo Wei's military attainments. But to fight or not to fight...... Guo Wei couldn't control it at all, because these soldiers were all borrowed soldiers, and they had real masters. It is impossible for Guo Wei to open this mouth, and even if he does, he will be refuted, and it will not help at all.

Liu Chengyou thought everything too simply, Guo Wei took the lead in the rebellion, if Guo Wei was controlled, he could control the judgment army...... How is this possible? How can there be one person in the world who has the final say? Even though Liu Chengyou is the emperor, if he wants to transfer troops, he has to look at the faces of the envoys.

If Liu Chengyou wins steadily and does not lose, these knots will naturally obey orders. But if Liu Chengyou may not win, these Bado envoys will of course watch the fire from the other side, see which way the wind blows, and then decide their position.

Obviously, now all the Jiedu envoys think that Liu Chengyou will definitely die, so at this time, even if Liu Chengyou uses the holy decree to let these people send troops, they will excuse themselves and find a way to delay time.

This is human nature, and there are not many people who are truly loyal and patriotic, but there are not many. Most people are still for their own interests, not to mention that this interest is related to their own lives. In fact, many people are already ready to take refuge in Guo Wei, Guo Wei is huge, and he has the support of Liu Chong, the king of Zhendong.

The most important thing is that Guo Wei's name 'Qingjun side' is not a rebellion. With Guo Wei's identity playing this name, and receiving this kind of treatment, if he doesn't join Guo Wei, he will be a traitor. But in fact, everyone understands that Guo Wei is a rebellion, as long as Guo Wei enters Kaifeng, how can Liu Chengyou live? Even if Guo Wei can let him live, then all the officials in Hezhong and Hedong, including the king of Zhendong, will let him die, so as not to settle accounts with Liu Chengyou after the autumn.

It's just that...... Joining Guo Wei now is inevitably a bit pretentious, so many people are observing the situation. It's not about hanging high, this is the dispute between Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei, and Master Zongxin is only a guide, not involved.

Liu Chengyou will definitely die, and he will die because he is too stupid and too confident. If there was no Zongxin, Liu Chengyou might have been able to come here, but with Zongxin's participation, Liu Chengyou had to be a Ming Jun, and he hadn't even figured this out?

Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't figure out why Liu Chengyou would use this kind of pomp to go to the battlefield? Wasn't he afraid of influencing the morale of the army? Guo Wei had already rebelled, and he still had the heart to take care of such a trivial matter as Tongguan and not move troops to attack Chang'an?

Tianya suddenly said: "The destiny of heaven is like this, Liu Chengyou is dead." He didn't even know that my father had rebelled, believing that the Korean Chinese Wu deliberately concealed the news, and kept flattering Liu Chengyu's confidence greatly increased, and seeing that Murong Yanzhao could not attack for a long time, he decided to drive the expedition himself. I believe that this kind of thing has long been expected by you, so it is concluded that Liu Chengyou will come to Tongguan. ”

Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin didn't think about this possibility, but there was no problem with Tianya's analysis. If the Chinese Wu of the DPRK were also extremely dissatisfied with what Liu Chengyu had done, and concluded that Guo Wei would be able to succeed this time, perhaps they would not have told Liu Chengyou that Guo Wei had rebelled in Chang'an, and was preparing to raise troops under the name of 'Qingjun Side'.

Chai Rong said: "Third brother, what do you think we should do now?"

"What else can I do? Hold Tongguan and don't let them attack, and then wait for Daddy's reinforcements. Guo Xin said: "I believe this will be a big victory, with Youyun Eighteen riding on, it is difficult for them to attack the city wall, without large siege equipment, it is impossible to climb Tongguan with the cloud ladder alone." The city gate of Tongguan is so strong, as long as someone guards the rushing car, they can't break the city gate, what are we worried about? Big brother has already made sufficient preparations, and the things sent by Wang Jingchong from Fengxiang Jiedu are enough for us to win this battle. ”

Fengxiang Festival made Wang Jingchong really interesting, not only sent enough food for 30,000 people to eat, but also sent a lot of city defense equipment and bows, arrows, and oil. Because of the importance of bows and arrows and fire oil, it is natural to shoot with bows and arrows from a distance when defending the city, and not to engage the enemy in close combat. The role of fire oil is even greater, not only can lubricate siege equipment, but also can set fire to cause a wide range of damage.

Wang Jingchong's relationship with these people is not good, but they know that Wang Jingchong has a good personal relationship with Master Zongxin, and since she is Wang Jingchong's daughter, the lover she thinks about every day is Zongxin, but Zongxin has no feelings for her.

"Big brother, you still go and prepare for the defense of the city, make as many bows and arrows as possible, prepare short sword soldiers on the battlements, and prepare for white-knuckle battles when the enemy climbs the battlements from the ladder. By the way, did I ask you to prepare the armor for Youyun Eighteen to ride?"

Chai Rong sighed: "I don't know who the eldest brother is...... We're ready to make sure that these wolves are covered in iron armor, and even if we die, these wolf cubs won't hang. ”

"That's good, because the wolves are so big that they can easily be targeted by enemy archers, so it's important to keep them safe, as long as they run back and forth at the battlement, they can relieve the pressure of a hand-to-hand fight. Tianya suddenly looked back at Zhao Kuangyin, and then said, "Uncle Zhao." ”

"What's wrong? What's a bad idea?"

Tianya said: "Uncle Zhao protects me...... If you really can't do it, take me away, there are Youyun Eighteen riding here, you should be able to escape. ”

"You...... I don't even know how to say that you're okay, how can you be exactly the same as Zongxin's shameless monk?" Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Although you are his apprentice, you can't learn from his ruthlessness and unrighteousness, and if you can't beat him, you want to escape?"

Tianya said: "The life and death of Tongguan does not affect the overall situation, we are just delaying time here, so that my father has enough time to recruit troops." Even if the eldest brother is defeated, Liu Chengyou will leave his life to threaten my father. But I'm different, I also have a Red Emperor True Yuan in my body, if I am caught by Liu Chengyou, I will definitely die, so you must protect me well, I know?"

What Tianya said made a lot of sense, but it made people want to beat him up. Such a young child doesn't learn well, and he does everything he can to learn from Zongxin...... He should really be allowed to practice martial arts well, and don't think about these messy things.

Chai Rong nodded and said: "That's right, there is a Red Emperor True Yuan in Tianya's body, could it be that Liu Chengyou wants to drive the Imperial Expedition in person, what he wants is not only Tongguan, he also wants the Red Emperor True Yuan in the third brother's body to continue his life." If that's the case...... Then you have to trouble Brother Zhao, if Tongguan really can't hold it, you will leave Tongguan with Tianya and your sister-in-law to find your father-in-law in Chang'an. When the time comes, please help bring a word, Fu Xuanyi is my Chai Rong's flesh and blood in his arms, and my Chai Rong already has a little blood left in the world, although he has no regrets in death. Let the Father-in-law ......"

"Big brother, don't say it, if you really hit Kaifeng, you will die. Even if Dad wants to protect you desperately, everyone else will continue to attack, and Liu Chengyou's character will definitely kill you to vent his anger. ”

Tianya's mouth is too flat, Chai Rong has always hurt him, and he really wants to beat him up until now. How did a good boy become a little rascal after following Zongxin?

Liu Chengyou's troops had not yet reached Murong Yanzhao's military camp, and at this time, Murong Yanzhao had already brought his men out of the camp to greet him. After the two teams met together, they soon came to Tongguan.

The team was divided into two sides, one team escorted Liu Chengyou to the Tongguan Pass, and the other team began to camp directly near the barracks.

Liu Chengyou's eight sedan chairs came to Tongguan, with cavalry on the left and right, and Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun and Cao Bin were guarded by the father and son.

After arranging them neatly, Murong Yanzhao said, "Chai Rong Guo Xin will get out of here." ”

Above the battlement, all the archers have already drawn their bows and loaded their arrows, and at the same time they give the order, ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison. But the people under the city are not afraid, at least for now they will not release arrows, so it will take some time to negotiate.

Chai Rong stood up straight and looked at the group of people in the city very curiously, thousands of cavalry stood neatly behind Liu Chengyou, how many war horses were there? How much is a war horse?

"Chai Rong is here!"

Murong Yanzhao said: "Your Majesty is driving the expedition in person, and those who know each other should hurry up and surrender the city, Your Majesty's heavenly grace may be able to leave you a way out." ”

Chai Rong immediately nodded and said, "Oh~~! ”

Chai Rong's voice was so loud that almost everyone heard it, but ...... How is this possible? Chai Rong opened the city gate in two sentences, this person is crazy. Or was he scared after seeing Liu Chengyou?
