Chapter 287: Tongguan Prepares for War
After Wang Pu left Murong Yanzhao's military camp, he immediately rode a horse and came directly to Tongguan in front of more than 100,000 people. Someone had already informed Chai Rong and his party that the enemy army had come to a big official, and Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin had been watching the battlement, but they were still far away and didn't see it clearly.
After Wang Pu came to the city, he shouted loudly: "In Xia Wang Pu, this official uniform is given by Lord Guo Wei Guo, quickly open the city gate, Lao Tzu is tired for several days and let me go in and rest." ”
Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya both stared at Chai Rong, not knowing what this person in the city was going to do. At this time, when the city was under siege, he actually asked Tong to close the door. What if the enemy suddenly rushes up when the gate is opened?
Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door." ”
Unexpectedly, everyone didn't expect Chai Rong to really open the door. As soon as the city gate opened, Wang Pu immediately rode into the city, and then immediately closed the city gate. Fortunately, this time it was very safe, and the enemy army did not rush up to attack the city.
Someone carried Wang Pu up to the battlement, and Wang Pu did not have a trace of politeness at all after seeing Chai Rong, but his face was full of displeasure.
"Chai Rong, what do you mean by this?" Wang Pu said: "Lao Tzu has thousands of mountains and rivers to relieve your worries about the siege of the city, and he actually treats you like this? I knew that I would have run back to Chang'an and let you wait here for death." ”
"Who are you, and why are you wearing my father Guo Wei's court clothes?"
"It's a long story......," Wang Pu carefully explained what happened after meeting Zong Xin and Guo Wei, how he finally got to Murong Yanzhao's military camp, and why he came outside Tongguan.
After finishing speaking, the sky was already dark, Wang Qingpu's eloquence was too good, and he didn't say a word about a story that was useful, although he still conveyed the meaning in the end, but it wasted too much time.
Chai Rong said depressedly: "I can be regarded as understanding, it turns out that you are the prime minister of Master Zongxin who forced my father to be crowned." However, Master Zongxin's vision should not be wrong, you must have something extraordinary, and he will send you to deliver the letter if you can be a good prime minister. ”
Wang Pu shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily...... I see that Master Zongxin likes to do whatever he wants, and when he thinks of a play, he just sees a warm and polite and wants to give me a beautiful difference. Since I, a peasant, can be the prime minister, then the position of the prime minister must not be important, and what happens in the future is not something I can control, so everyone should be the same. ”
Wang Pu is far more honest than he seems, and after he got the position of prime minister, his psychological state is completely different. Now Wang Pu thinks about a lot of things, a person's IQ has nothing to do with knowledge, Wang Pu was originally that kind of smart person, but his family conditions did not allow him to study and practice martial arts.
"It's possible. ”X2
Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya know Zong Xin very well, and Wang Pu's analysis is very correct, because Zong Xin can definitely do this kind of thing. However, this is also because Wang Pu is not confident enough, he thinks that he is not capable of being a good prime minister, so he thinks so. When he thinks he can be a good prime minister, he will understand more things.
"Since Zongxin said that Liu Chengyou would personally come to Tongguan to command the battle, then we will let Liu Chengyou eat this defeat and let him know that the emperor is also a person. Chai Rong said excitedly: "Liu Chengyou's wine bag and rice bag, he must think that it is easy to fight 80,000 to 30,000, and when the time comes, he will even hold a beauty in his arms, holding a wine glass and watching how 80,000 people attack the city, without any command during this time, I know how to deal with him." ”
"Nonsense, if the commander did not command at all during the siege of the city, those people would not be able to climb the battlements of the city tower at all, and they would be killed by random arrows under the city. If Liu Chengyou is really stupid to this extent, why do we need to prepare? Just wait for him to come. ”
Although Zhao Kuangyin is not very proficient in the art of war, he also knows that if Liu Chengyou only orders the siege of the city before the two armies, and then does nothing...... It is estimated that these 80,000 people will die under Tongguan, which is hardly injured.
Therefore, it is easy to obtain a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find one. A general with a high military literacy is far more effective than thousands of soldiers. If Murong Yanzhao really handed over all the power and let Liu Chengyou fight this battle, I am afraid that there will be corpses all over the field outside Tongguan at that time......
These are all Murong Yanzhao's soldiers, how could he be ruthless with such a heart? Even if it is for the future, he must also plan for his reputation and the lives of these soldiers. If Murong Yanzhao really did this, he couldn't be trusted in the future.
The current situation Murong Yanzhao is the most uncomfortable, he does not dare to forcibly attack the city, even though the opponent's soldiers are strong and strong, it is not easy to capture Tongguan. Even a victory would be a miserable victory, and it would not help the whole battle in any way. It's just that Liu Chengyou was angry for a while and wanted to attack Tongguan to exterminate Guo Wei's forces, but in fact, Guo Wei had already focused on raising troops in Chang'an, and the safety of Tongguan was not important.
Maybe Liu Chengyou wanted to capture Chai Rong and Guo Xin, as long as there were hostages in hand, Liu Chengyou was not afraid of Guo Wei attacking Kaifeng. But this is also a child's idea, if Guo Wei really leads the troops to Kaifeng, then Guo Wei's children will not be able to grow up, because these soldiers are not Guo Wei's, he only has to attack Kaifeng regardless of the life and death of Chai Rong and Guo Xin, and Liu Chengyou will still be dead at that time.
Now Liu Chengyou wants to win Guo Wei and can only rely on several jiedu envoys to work together, but ...... These festivals make both Zong Xin and Guo Wei have a deep fear of them, and whether they will send troops is also a question. Liu Chengyou should focus his main spirit on this. If he really came to Tongguan, he would be doomed......
Wang Pu chuckled and said, "Hahahaha, this official just wants to say something." I've been hungry all the way, so let me eat something and get some sleep. You don't know, I was almost scared when I went to Murong Yanzhao's military camp just now, and I had to muster up enough courage to stand and speak, and I didn't dare to sit down, for fear that I wouldn't be able to stand up after sitting down. Now that the mood is back, my stomach is hungry all of a sudden. ”
"Who are the people around Master Zongxin?" Chai Rong was very depressed, because the women around Zongxin were all normal, but they were a little shameless. But the man next to Zongxin ...... Zhao Kuangyin is like this, Youyun Eighteen Riders are like this, and even the third brother Guo Xin has become like this, and now there is a Wang Pu who is also the kind of person who has no face and no skin.
Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya looked at Chai Rong very dissatisfied, because Tianya is a little bit of a change now, but after all, he is a little brother, how can the eldest brother say this about himself?
"Big brother, if your words reach my master's ears, I'm afraid that he will ...... old man."
"Less nonsense, return the elderly. He's much younger than me, and I've been in a bad mood lately, so don't mess with me if you're fine. Although Chai Rong often mixes with these people, in fact, Chai Rong is much older than Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin, just looking young.
Chai Rong was not in a bad mood, but too excited. There is good news in Tongguan, Fu Xuanyi is pregnant, needless to say that it must be Chai Rong's child, even Zhao Kuangyin thinks it is Chai Rong's child. Because he didn't know Fu Xuanyi for much time, but Fu Xuanyi was already two months pregnant at this time.
Chai Rong's mood was both excited and apprehensive, because he had a marriage contract with Le An first, and he had to marry Le An as his wife first. Unexpectedly, Fu Xuanyi was pregnant at this time, of course, this is a great thing, but Chai Rong has never been a father, so he doesn't know how to deal with it.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Tianya, you also know that people who are pregnant are irritable, not only women and men. If he wants to lose his temper, let him do it, anyway, my stomach is hungry, Wang Pu, I will take you to eat, and talk to me by the way, you said that Zongxin took Ning An to Dali...... There are also the two women of Zongxin, which is troublesome...... If the end of the world continues like this, Zongxin, this master, will become your brother-in-law. ”
"It's not such an exaggeration, my sister's age is still young. ”
"Don't you know your own master, what woman can escape his clutches?"
Tianya said regretfully: "That's right...... My master is too bullying, is it okay to eat our Guo family? When my master gives birth to a daughter, I will marry that girl as a wife. In this way, it is lively, Zongxin is my master, brother-in-law, and father-in-law...... I see if he dares to bully me in the future. ”
Chai Rong was about to cry, the relationship between Zongxin and the Guo family was too chaotic, so chaotic that Chai Rong couldn't figure it out at all.
In fact, Chai Rong also admires Zong Xin very much, and of course there is endless gratitude, Zong Xin has done too many things for the people of the Guo family, and he really can't think of any way to be grateful except for marrying his sister to him. Today's Zongxin's martial arts have long been far superior to Chai Rong, although Guo Wei's martial arts are high, Guo Wei's martial arts Zongxin can't look down on them at all. Not to mention money, Zong Xin is already rich and rivals the country, but Guo Wei and Chai Rong are so poor, Chai Rong is not good Guo Wei is the kind of person who is completely informal, he doesn't know how to make money at all.
Strange to say, Guo Wei has never bothered about money. Although Guo Wei knew how important money was, and because he needed a lot of money to fight, Guo Wei never considered this kind of thing, and the matter about money was completely handled by Chai Rong. In order to let Guo Wei have enough money to fight, Chai Rong also tried all means. Guo Wei also saw these things, although he didn't say it, Guo Wei knew that Chai Rong was filial.
Neither martial arts nor money can repay what Zong Xin has done to the Guo family, so what is left? Although he is very unhappy in his heart, his character will definitely marry Ning An to Zong Xin, even if he is a concubine or even a maid. Chai Rong also believes that Ning An will definitely not suffer after passing through the door, Zong Xin looks very treacherous, but he is actually a good man who is very afraid of his wife.
It's just that Chai Rong has always been a little unhappy in his heart, and when he saw Zong Xin for the first time, Zong Xin said that he would be the emperor...... This is what he fears the most. If the father-in-law has no way to pass the throne to the two brothers-in-law, there is only one possibility, and the catastrophe of the two brothers-in-law has not yet passed. Chai Rong would rather not be the emperor, and also hope that the two righteous brothers will have a safe life.
"I hope Master Zongxin can find a way to remove the Gu poison in Dali...... I hope ......" Chai Rong said: "Even if I Chai Rong has a short life of ten years and has no chance to live in the world in my life, I hope that the two righteous brothers will be safe and sound, and the family and harmony will be enough." ”
