"It's a good idea, but it's too long...... Is there any way to capture Tongguan as soon as possible? I want to prove to the world that it took Guo Wei more than a year to capture Tongguan, and I can capture it in less than a month. "Liu Chengyou can use a limited way, he needs to prove to the world that Guo Wei is not better at fighting than himself, after all, the news that he wants to kill Guo Wei has already spread, and even the officials are dissatisfied with him, if he does not prove his greatness as the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that soon no one will listen to him anymore.

Murong Yanzhao said: "It only takes a month to transport siege equipment from Cangzhou to Tongguan, and then it takes half a month to attack the city, and the merit is far superior to Guo Wei." What does Your Majesty think?"

"No...... It has been too long, and I want to capture Tongguan immediately and capture Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others alive. Although Liu Chengyou did not say Guo Xin's name, in fact, what Liu Chengyou really wanted was him, since he had already turned against Zong Xin, his apprentice would not be protected, and it was far easier to take the True Yuan of the Red Emperor in Guo Xin's body than to kill Guo Wei.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is best to follow Guo Wei's example to besiege Tong Pass and cut off its grain and grass, and it is most prudent to build a fortress outside the pass. Murong Yanzhao said: "Now Tongguan is embattled, as long as the soldiers inside it are cut off, it won't take long for them to rebel, and they don't even need to wait for them to rebel, just wait for them to eat up the food in Tongguan, and the soldiers are hungry and have no strength to fight, and our army can drive straight in." ”

"This ......"

"Your Majesty! Murong Yanzhao said: "If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that Tongguan will not rebel, and our army will rebel first." The soldiers watched the besiegers die one by one, and they would never dare to attack again, and if they insisted on coming forward, it would only attract resentment. If they know that there is a dead end, they may not dare to rebel, and Weichen will not be able to control it at that time. Let Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin starve in Tongguan. ”

Murong Yanzhao's attitude suddenly became resolute, and his tone did not have the respect just now, and became very stern.

Liu Chengyou thought about it, and what Murong Yanzhao said also made sense. It's just that I don't know how long the food in Tongguan will be enough for them to eat.

Judging from the situation of today's siege, it is indeed difficult to storm Tongguan, and it is even difficult to climb to the sky. Unless there are large siege equipment, you will not be able to get on the battlements if you die like this. If so many people were sent to siege the city every day...... It is estimated that within three days, the rebellion will begin in the barracks.

Although Liu Chengyou is stupid, he is not stupid. Murong Yanzhao's attitude has been bad today, the reason is very simple, the 2,000 soldiers who died in the siege of the city today are all the soldiers in the river. As soon as Liu Chengyou gave an order, Murong Yanzhao killed 2,000 people, so it was strange that he was in a good mood.

Although compared to the figure of 80,000, 2,000 people are nothing, in fact, Liu Chengyou also felt a little that this was a very huge number, otherwise Murong Yanzhao's face would not be so ugly.

It's just that Liu Chengyou still thinks that there are only 2,000 people, which is nothing at all. When the Khitan war was fought a few months ago, the number of casualties was hundreds of thousands, although a large part of them fled back to Liao, but the Khitans who died in the Central Plains are also incalculable.

Liu Chengyou sighed, knowing that Murong Yanzhao was really not good, although he had some ability but was too timid, otherwise he would not have been scared like that by Zong Xin alone, at that time he had 8,000 troops in his hands, and he was blocked by one person, what is the use of this kind of person? Although this matter is well done, it can also be seen that Murong Yanzhao is the kind of person who cares about his own interests first.

If it weren't for Zongxin's idea of besieging the Khitan, Liu Chengyou would never have given him the position of Hezhong Jiedu. Because of his communication with Zongxin, it would be more convenient for Zongxin to let him send troops, and with a holy decree, the army in the river would pour out to encircle and suppress the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang.

Liu Chengyou now seems that Murong Yanzhao cannot be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and after this matter is settled, he will be stripped of his position as the envoy of the river festival, let him sit in an idle position, or hand over the place with fewer troops to him to take care of. He wasn't fit to lead such a large army.

"Then wait a few more days, I also estimate that their food is about to run out, so yesterday the wolf will desperately attack the war horse for food. Liu Chengyou said: "Murong Qing's family, pay attention to your tone when you talk to me in the future, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law." ”

"The sin of the minister deserves death. ”

"It's good to do it yourself. ”

"Greetings to Your Majesty. ”X3

After Liu Chengyou finished speaking, he left the camp, and there were already internal officials waiting outside. Murong Yanzhao gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Chengyou, he really couldn't suppress his urge to kill him. This bastard opened his mouth today and gave away the lives of 2,000 soldiers in vain, but in his eyes, there was no trace of guilt, no trace of sadness, and not even a trace of feeling, did he really think that the lives of 2,000 soldiers were so worthless?

Two thousand people, all of whom have their own parents, wives and children, and just yesterday they ate and slept alive, but today they have become cold corpses. And he didn't even climb the city wall, Liu Chengyou's so-called command was the word 'siege', and he sat on the high platform without saying a word.

It takes time to learn to fight, and generally speaking, you should first watch how the battlefield veteran commands the battlefield, and when you see that the situation is unfavorable, you should immediately withdraw your troops. Today, I still ordered Mingjin myself, otherwise these 5,000 people would have to die on the battlefield.

If he treats human life as if he is nothing, how can such a person be qualified to be an emperor? He even wants to continue to attack the city, without any preparation, without siege equipment, and without even command, it is strange that he can capture a fortress like Tongguan.

"Murong Yanzhao...... Don't be like this, Your Majesty doesn't know how to fight at all, and it's useless for you to tell him this, but you yourself still leave a bad impression. Cao Yun said: "Liu Chengyou already hates you now, I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, you just said a conflict, he will definitely find a way to treat you." ”

"I ...... I almost couldn't help but kill him. Murong Yanzhao said: "He doesn't know how to fight, he has to command the battle, and he doesn't say a word when attacking the city, doesn't this let the soldiers die?" In fact, Tongguan is not impenetrable, it is nothing more than hot oil with bows and arrows, these things can be resisted with shields, there will not be too much fierce fire oil in Tongguan, as long as the command is appropriate, it may not be impossible to break through. Here's how he ...... It's a waste of soldiers' lives. ”

"I know, I know. Cao Yun comforted: "Isn't this the result we want? Why are you angry? If you have a stalemate with Liu Chengyou, then he will cut your military power and completely command the battle yourself, and you, the envoy of the river festival, will immediately have no real name." ”

Murong Yanzhao also felt that he was a little excited, and he couldn't turn his face with Liu Chengyou at this time. He is the emperor, although the river army is a soldier brought by himself, they are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor's orders are far more powerful than the jiedu envoys. Now Murong Yanzhao can still give orders, and even command, so as to reduce casualties. But if Liu Chengyou really cuts off his military power, it will really be over at that time.

If Liu Chengyou allowed an army of 80,000 to attack the city, and countless people outside Tongguan City became live targets, so that the enemy archers could shoot indiscriminately without any consideration, he might be able to hit the battlement, but there were also 30,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, how many people could rush to the battlement? It would soon be cleaned up, and then the corpses of the soldiers could be turned into weapons, and several could be stoned to death as long as they were thrown down the city.

If it really comes to that point, Liu Chengyou may wake up, but it will be too late for him to wake up, the 80,000 soldiers of the Hezhong Army will not live much, and when the people in Tongguan are killed, there will be no morale here, and they will only get a big defeat.

Although he didn't want to offend the future emperor Guo Wei in the matter of Tongguan, he couldn't let Guo Wei underestimate himself. Otherwise, there is no place in the new dynasty. 80,000 people attacked the city, and in the end 30,000 people in the city were killed without leaving a piece of armor, this kind of crime Murong Yanzhao didn't want to bear it.

"It's me who is bad, I'm so excited. Murong Yanzhao said: "General Cao, can you think of a way to delay time for me? You can't let Your Majesty attack the city again, but Your Majesty has made up his mind, how can I make him give up the idea of attacking?"

Cao Yun smiled: "You are really ...... The authorities are obsessed. In fact, His Majesty didn't want to capture Tongguan, and the reason why he wanted to attack it was all for one person, Guo Wei's third son, Guo Xin, the disciple of Master Zongxin. I heard that he also has a Red Emperor True Yuan in his body, and His Majesty wants to use the Red Emperor True Yuan in Guo Xin's body to continue his life, so he is in such a hurry to attack Tongguan. His Majesty didn't know how long he would live, so he tried every means to attack Tongguan, and he wanted to get this Red Emperor True Yuan before he died. The Red Emperor Zhenyuan can not only continue his life, but also improve his skills. ”

"Whatever the reason, I want a way. ”

Cao Yun pouted and said, "Only when you know the reason can you come up with a solution, isn't it?" In my estimation, as long as Youyun Eighteen Cavalry and Guo Xin are not in Tongguan, Your Majesty will not attack. Instead of being anxious here, it is better to find a way to send a letter to Tongguan and let them leave Tongguan with Guo Xin, Liu Chengyou will definitely lead the cavalry to chase after him, as long as Liu Chengyou is not in Tongguan, then this military camp is the final word for the two of us. ”

Murong Yanzhao glanced at Cao Yun and said, "Take Guo Xin to escape? Isn't that just to tell Guo Xin to send him to death? Can they outrun thousands of cavalry? Even if the wolf is very fast, not all the cavalry are chasing behind, they can chase in a roundabout way, the wolf can't run in a straight line forever, as long as there is a place where they need to turn, they will be caught up by the cavalry." You have never led a soldier, you have no idea how terrible the mobility of the cavalry is on the plains, and you want to escape the pursuit of the cavalry...... The odds are too small. ”

"Is that so?" Cao Yun said: "I thought that the speed of the wolf was fast enough, as long as the wolf ran with Guo Xin, he would definitely be able to escape." I can't imagine that there is such a thing...... You're right, thousands of cavalry are terrifying, and it's not easy to evade their pursuit. ”

Cao Yun is also a person who has never led soldiers, but he is slightly smarter than Liu Chengyou. If you think about it carefully, you will know that if the wolf runs in a straight line, the cavalry will definitely not be able to catch up, but which road will always be in a straight line? When he turns here, only the cavalry following the straight line needs to turn among the thousands of cavalry behind him, and the cavalry on the left and right sides may not need to turn, and the distance between the two sides will of course get closer and closer.

Moreover, Cao Yun and Murong Yanzhao have not really seen the speed of the wolf, they just think that the speed of the wolf is slightly faster than that of ordinary horses. And they don't know that Liu Chengyou's target is not Guo Xin alone, in addition to him, Zhao Kuangyin also has a Red Emperor True Yuan in his body, as long as he can get three Red Emperor True Yuan, Liu Chengyou must make great progress in martial arts, and Cao Yun may not be his opponent at that time.
