Chapter 303: Loyal Ministers Are Disloyal
Murong Yanchao shook his head and said, "Does it hurt, do you hate? You are really hopeless." You know the pain when you are slapped twice, and the soldiers who were killed by random arrows during the siege of the city don't know the pain? Don't think that you are really amazing, if it weren't for your father's ability, what are you now? You are one of the soldiers who rushed to die. What you eat is also rice, and what you pull is, what is the emperor, you are also a person. ”
Murong Yanchao's words still did not wake up Liu Chengyou, and at this time, Liu Chengyou's eyes were still hateful. These words are only used as a weight to increase hatred, and they do not listen to the meaning of the words at all.
"I don't want to say more nonsense, you are a Liu Adou who can't be helped. Guo Wei had rebelled in Chang'an more than a month ago, but it was clearly not a rebellion, and he said that there were traitors around you in troubled times in the name of 'Qingjun', but in fact, it was a rebellion, but it was not easy to say clearly. If he kills Kaifeng, you will definitely die, your second uncle Liu Chong fully supports it, and the reason is very simple, he wants to be the emperor, and it won't be long before hundreds of thousands of troops will set off from Chang'an to kill directly in Kaifeng. At that time, you will not be the emperor, and I will not be the prince, whether you go back to Kaifeng now and wait for death, or directly lead the troops into Chang'an to find death, this is up to you. Lao Tzu has a general, go back to Xuzhou to stick to the city, Guo Wei does not dare to provoke Lao Tzu, when the time comes, I will be the emperor myself, and I will have to wait. ”
"Guo Wei dares to rebel?" Liu Chengyou said in surprise: "Second Uncle actually fully supported the hundreds of thousands of troops, Guo Wei rebelled." ”
"If you want to kill his whole family, are you waiting to be killed by you if others don't rebel?" Murong Yanchao smiled: "Not to mention your second uncle, do you think he doesn't want to be the emperor, everyone in the world wants to be the emperor, do you think your throne is very stable? It's just standing on a needle, and if you are not careful, you will be dragged down immediately." After you are not the emperor, even if Guo Wei lets you out of Kaifeng, then people all over the world will chase you with knives, and you don't need Guo Wei's order at all, you are a nasty emperor. ”
"Impossible, how could I not know such a big thing?" Liu Chengyou said: "Murong Yanzhao, is this true or false?"
Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun both knew that this matter could no longer be hidden, so they nodded and admitted.
Liu Chengyou said angrily: "Such a big matter, you two actually concealed it and didn't report it?"
"There's a fart to report? Your Manchu ministers don't report it, and what they both say is equivalent to saying it in vain. Now you are no longer the emperor, the country may change hands at any time, everyone is waiting to see the situation, otherwise why do you think no one listens to you? The whole world means that you don't know this news, and everyone around you knows it. Murong Yanchao said: "What to do now depends on you, I brought 60,000 soldiers and horses, which is also my own army, plus Murong Yanzhao's soldiers and horses, there should be a total of thirteen or forty thousand, whether to stick to Kaifeng or continue to attack Tongguan, please give your Majesty a decree." ”
"I can't retreat, Guo Wei can even kill hundreds of thousands of horses in Kaifeng, I can't make this mistake. Liu Chengyou said: "Continue to attack Tongguan, now there are enough manpower, and capture Tongguan as soon as possible." This is the only way, as long as Guo Wei captures Tongguan before he sends troops, Guo Wei only dares to look at the outside of Tongguan, and does not dare to enter. Otherwise, the enemy will be defeated on the back and the abdomen. ”
This sentence is a bit like being an emperor. Murong Yanchao said: "It's also that the first emperor left too early, otherwise there would never be such a mess." Liu Chengyou, listen to me well, third uncle, I will do my best to help you this time, you must see clearly who is a friend and who is an enemy, Murong Yanzhao still dares to send troops to help you at this time, this is a great loyal minister, and others will no longer send troops for you. But as long as you win this game, the whole world will be the only one who will obey you, and if you lose this one, you will die without a place to bury. ”
"What the third uncle taught me is that I understand. "Liu Chengyou no longer dares to call himself me, he already understands how dangerous the situation is now. But I really didn't expect Guo Wei to rebel in Chang'an, if Guo Wei established himself as king, the world would be divided into two halves at that time.
However, Liu Chengyou knew that Guo Wei would not do this, and the reason was very simple, Guo Wei's rebellion was not to seize his own country, but to seize the antidote to his family.
"Newspaper~~"
"I'll report later, I still have something to order. Liu Chengyou said: "Third uncle, I understand, but what should I do now? Tongguan is strong and difficult to break, if you buy siege equipment from the king, let alone two months, I am afraid that Guo Wei has already attacked Kaifeng at that time." ”
"It's not stupid, I know that Tongguan is difficult to break and needs the siege equipment of the king. But this is all nonsense, and now that the situation is serious, I have cut off my own way to help you. You have to remember clearly, there are many people who are icing on the cake, and sending carbon in the snow is a friend. ”
"Uncle Huang taught me a lesson. Liu Chengyou said: "Now we should start a siege on all sides and take Tongguan as soon as possible." After that, he was stationed in Tongguan to consolidate the defense, and if Guo Wei dared to attack Tongguan, Kaifeng immediately sent troops to help. If he dared to attack Kaifeng, Tongguan sent troops to attack before and after, so Guo Wei could only surround Tongguan and did not dare to attack the city. As long as it is delayed for two or three months, everyone will decide that Guo Wei will not be able to win, and they will return to my account, and when the time comes, Guo Wei will die without a complete body. ”
Murong Yanchao nodded and said, "Okay, this is my eldest brother's son." ”
Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun were very surprised, how could Liu Chengyou suddenly become smarter? Just now, he was like a fool, and suddenly came up with such a profound strategy. As the emperor, there was no need for him to personally command the siege, as long as the overall strategy was laid out properly, and the rest was left to others to do. At least this time Liu Chengyou did not do anything wrong, and the strategy he came up with was indeed feasible.
Originally, Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun thought that if he knew that Guo Wei was rebelling, he would definitely beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother and borrow troops to resist Guo Wei. If Liu Chengyou really does this, it will be a dead end, because no one will send troops for him at this time. Doing so will not only be humiliating, but will delay the military situation and make things out of control. If Liu Chengyou does this, it will make Guo Wei passive, but the premise is that he wants to take Tongguan.
But is Liu Chengyou's method really useful? Even if Tongguan is taken, what if Guo Wei directly attacks Kaifeng regardless of Tongguan, if Kaifeng has enough troops to resist, it will be able to flank the situation before and after, but if Kaifeng does not have enough troops, it will be useless for Tongguan to send troops. Guo Wei was a little troublesome at most, turned the gun and attacked again, until Tongguan did not dare to send troops.
However, the soldiers said treacherously, Guo Wei didn't know if Kaifeng had enough troops, so he didn't dare to advance. But as long as someone reports the news, it will be useless for Liu Chengyou to take Tongguan.
Murong Yanchao said: "How many troops do you have in Kaifeng?"
"In addition to the Yicheng Army and the City Protector Army, plus the reserve army, there are about 20,000 people in total, and the temporary recruitment can make up 30,000 troops. ”
"With this amount of troops, do you want to kill Guo Wei with a front and rear attack?" Murong Yanchao also discovered this problem, so he proposed Liu Chengyou's strategic mistake.
Liu Chengyou said with a smile: "You know about this, but Guo Wei doesn't know." As long as he has a heavy army under Tongguantun, Guo Wei will never dare to advance. Fiction is real, reality is fiction, those soldiers must not be Guo Wei's, even if Guo Wei has heavy troops, those in power do not dare to let their soldiers take risks, unless they win and do not lose, otherwise these people will definitely retreat. At that time, Guo Wei must attack Tongguan, otherwise he will not be able to take a step forward in Kaifeng. Tongguan is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Guo Wei still uses old tricks to build a fortress outside the pass, this battle will undoubtedly be lost, and no one dares to delay Guo Wei for so long. If Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, he might have enough time to spend with me, but he raised troops in the name of 'Qingjun's side', which was Guo Wei's biggest failure. If you want to rebel and claim the emperor, you don't dare to say it clearly, who in the world doesn't know what they are thinking? Without enough time and financial resources, they want to seize my Liu family's country, Guo Wei is simply a fool's dream. ”
Liu Chengyou suddenly became witty, and Murong Yanchao was very excited when he heard it. Because Zongxin said that he would die of cold and starvation, he was not afraid of war, because he would not die on the battlefield. In order not to die of cold and starvation, it is necessary to keep this throne and keep the Liu family, and it doesn't matter who is the emperor. Murong Yanchao also has no ambition to be the emperor.
But Liu Chong, the king of Zhendong, is different, he is ambitious. At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan was the envoy of the Hedong Festival, and Liu Zhiyuan rebelled and became the emperor, but he passed the country to Liu Chengyou, a hairy boy. Liu Chong had long been ready to be called emperor, so he insisted on currying favor with the title of King of Zhendong, because Liu Chong's power was the largest in Hedong, as long as Hedong District was all Liu Chong's territory, Liu Chong only needed to see the right time to follow the example of the first emperor Liu Zhiyuan and ascend the throne as emperor.
This time, Liu Chong will not let go of a good opportunity, and will definitely gather all his forces to counterattack Kaifeng. And this time the world is united, Guo Wei is a great loyal minister, Liu Chengyou actually wants to kill him, this is the biggest mistake Liu Chengyou made, the emperor who loses the hearts of the people is no longer the emperor, so Liu Chong and Liu Chengyou must die one, and looking at the current situation, Liu Chengyou has more losses.
Murong Yanchao actually didn't want to muddy the waters, but if he was deposed today, he would no longer be the prince, and the forces that had been enveloped so far would be gone, and in the end, he could only flee to Kunlun Mountain to send people under the fence. But Zongxin said that he died of cold and starvation, the way to Kunlun is far away, there are no people in many places on the way, and the temperature near Kunlun is extremely cold, so he must not go to Kunlun like this, what if he is really taken seriously by Master Zongxin?
Murong Yanchao didn't really want to help Liu Chengyou, he just wanted to keep his throne. As long as the throne is there, he will not be cold and starving. But this is also a dangerous move, what if Guo Wei wins? You can't escape with tens of thousands of soldiers, and then what? Surrender to the Tang Dynasty? In the Han Dynasty, he is the prince, and when he arrives in the Tang Dynasty, he is a surrendered general and has no status at all.
