Chapter 280
Outside Tongguan
Murong Yanzhao's troops approached the city and gave Chai Rong three days to leave the city and surrender.Three days later, Tongguan still closed its gates, showing no intention of surrendering at all.This is also expected, it is absolutely impossible to make Chai Rong surrender with a few words.

Murong Yanzhao gritted his teeth and said, "At this point, this battle has to be waged. Let's make the first tentative attack. Of course it's a good thing to be able to attack. If we can't attack, how about retreating immediately?"

Cao Yun and Cao Bin were very embarrassed. The coach ordered them to dare not disobey, but they really didn't want to attack the city.If it was just a tentative attack, it would not be effective at all, not to mention that there were two nephews of Cao Yun in Tongguan, and he didn't want to attack the city in the first place.

But Murong Yanzhao had already spoken, so he couldn't say that he didn't want to go.This is a war, not a house game.

Cao Yun said: "Commander, if you have no intention of attacking the city, it is better not to attack, so as not to waste the precious lives of our soldiers. We have 8 troops. If we make tentative attacks like this again and again, it will not take long for the 8 troops to be destroyed." Not much left."

The Murong Yanzhao that Cao Yun said of course understands, everyone understands this truth.If it's just such a tentative attack, it's better not to fight.Murong Yanzhao thinks Cao Yun's proposal is very sensible, but... Murong Yanzhao has no choice.

On the one hand, we must take Guo Wei and Chai Rong into consideration, and we should not form too deep hatred with them.On the other hand, Liu Chengyou's thoughts had to be taken into account. If [-] were to fight [-], if it hadn't been for the siege, he would have won already.Even if it is a siege, it cannot be delayed for too long.

What should we do?Murong Yanzhao scratched his head anxiously, how great would it be if Chai Rong surrendered?To save myself from embarrassing myself like this.

"Hey, General Cao..."

"Boss."

Murong Yanzhao said: "Otherwise...you sneak into Tongguan, open the gate of Tongguan, and our army takes advantage of the chaos to enter, so..."

"I'm going to die." Cao Yun said, "Murong, I didn't offend you. Why did you send me to seek death? The city gate is heavily guarded, and I rushed in alone? I guess I was shot at by random arrows before I jumped to the crenel. died."

"Aren't you a master of martial arts? Your body armor can bounce those random arrows away. Ordinary swords can't hurt you at all. Martial arts practitioners are infinitely powerful, you just need to smash the door open."

Cao Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, if martial arts practitioners are really so powerful, why should we lead the army to fight? Just send a few martial arts masters to destroy other countries. Why should Guo Wei be afraid of Liu Chengyou's army? It's over if Liu Chengyou kills him. But can he really do it? Even a top expert like Guo Wei can't do it, let alone me."

Murong Yanzhao nodded, Cao Yun is not stupid... If Cao Yun listened to his own words and rushed in to seek death, he could report to Liu Chengyou that he had attacked the city on a large scale, and the main general Cao Yun died unfortunately.Then you can retreat.Unexpectedly, Cao Yun still had some brains, knowing that being good at martial arts is not everything.

If there is not a suitable reason, it must be fought.So to find a suitable reason not to go to war, it is best to retreat.Where can one find such a reason?

"Report~ There is a person outside the camp wearing the prime minister's official uniform, saying that he wants to see the commander of our army. But... this person is all vulgar, with a dirty face, and he doesn't look like an official at all. His official uniform looks like Mr. Guo's. piece." The messenger had good eyesight, and at a glance, he knew that this was not an official, and he could tell that this court uniform was Guo Wei's official uniform of the left minister.

Murong Yanzhao said, "Quickly please."

"Order."

Cao Yun said: "Commander, this person..."

"It must be that Guo Wei ordered someone to put on his official uniform and let this person come to our army to negotiate, but... Mr. Guo should have a good vision. How could he choose someone who doesn't look like an official to send a letter? Among them must be There is a reason, come to him and ask him carefully."

Cao Yun and Cao Bin didn't talk much, they didn't want to reveal their identities, and they didn't want to say anything to this Murong Yanzhao.Because both Cao Yun and Cao Bin felt that when Guo Wei came to Tongguan, he would definitely die.

Not long after, the messenger brought a person into Murong Yanzhao's camp.The three people in the tent felt depressed at first glance. This person is not suitable for being an official at all. , don’t know martial arts at all.How could Guo Wei choose such a person to deliver the message?
Wang Pu cupped his hands and said, "May I ask who is Murong Yanzhao?"

"The owner is Murong Yanzhao." Murong Yanzhao originally wanted to greet this person well, but unexpectedly a farmer came, and immediately sat back in his seat with a dissatisfied expression on his face, not wanting to give him face at all.

Wang Pu could tell Murong Yanzhao's attitude at a glance, because he had seen this attitude many times, and even the messengers had this attitude towards him.Wang Pu was not petty, but he was very dissatisfied with Murong Yanzhao's attitude. After all, he was the commander of an army, but he judged people based on appearances.

Wang Pu smiled lightly and said, "I am the prime minister named Wang Pu by Master Zongxin. No matter who will rule the world in the future, I will be ordered by the prime minister. Master Zongxin has already decided that you, Murong Yanzhao, are short-sighted, so I ordered this official to be the prime minister." I will send you a letter, please feel free to read it or not."

Wang Pu was also excited, threw the letter on the ground, turned around and did not look at the three people present.

Murong Yanzhao was going crazy with anger, how dare a farmer be so arrogant in front of him?But this person sent Master Zong Xin's letter, so he had to read it.Moreover, Master Zong Xin canonized him personally, this person must be ordered by the prime minister in the future, if not so, I really want to drag him out and chop him up.

In fact, when Wang Pu first entered the camp, Murong Yanzhao was ready to drag him out and chop him up, but his current attitude made Murong Yanzhao a little scared.It was preparation just now, but now I just think about it.

Murong Yanzhao gave Cao Bin a wink. Although Cao Bin was upset, he was the only one who could pick up the letter and hand it to Murong Yanzhao.

Murong Yanzhao opened the letter and saw the words 'no siege' was written on it, and Murong Yanzhao recognized that it was Zong Xin's note.The most frightening thing is that there is a seal on it, which is Guo Wei's Night King Order.

Murong Yanzhao's spine suddenly felt cold, and what he feared really happened.Zong Xin took Guo Wei to find Lei Hong. Murong Yanzhao was one of the few insiders. He knew that Zong Xin was Lei Hong's third son, Lei Tianyong. Relying on Lei Hong can directly take Kaifeng and help Guo Wei ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Wang Pu has already proved his identity, he is not the one chosen by Guo Wei, but the one chosen by Zong Xin.Although he didn't know why Zong Xin chose him, Murong Yanzhao didn't want to guess too much because of the unfathomable behavior of an expert. Anyway, he knew that this matter was unusual, so he had to carefully consider it.

Wang Pu sneered and said, "Hmph, I don't know how high the sky is and how big the earth is, but I dare to besiege Tongguan. Murong Yanzhao, I'm not afraid to tell you that as long as you give the order to attack the city, you will surely die. And you don't need to wait for Mr. Guo to lead troops to attack, you will be there that night." Died in Huangquan."

"How...is this possible?" Murong Yanzhao believed that if Guo Wei came to Tongguan, more than half of his life would be lost.But if Guo Wei doesn't come, who can threaten his life?
Cao Yun and Cao Bin were sweating profusely. The person they were most afraid of was Zong Xin, because the two of them saw Zong Xin take Guo Wei's family away from Fengfeng with their own eyes.I firmly believe in Zong Xin's legend, and because of this situation, I really don't know what to do.

Cao Yun and Cao Bin had already prepared, if Murong Yanzhao really wanted to attack the city, they would find a chance to kill him.Then he said that the coach died unfortunately during the siege, and the snake had no head, so Cao Yun and Cao Bin didn't have to continue to attack the city.

Anyway, a coach came and they killed a coach, and they delayed until Guo Wei led his troops to Tongguan, so that they could show their true identities.

It was just an idea and they didn't act on it.Zong Xin actually knew their plan first... Such people are too powerful to offend.Originally, Cao Yun and Cao Bin, father and son, only hoped to recognize their relative Guo Wei and use his power to develop their own status. Now they are more worried about Zong Xin, and they must not be enemies with this person.

As the saying goes, if you know what you know, you can win a hundred battles, but this enemy can even figure out his own thoughts clearly, and it is absolutely dead end to compete with this kind of opponent.

Murong Yanzhao looked at Cao Yun and Cao Bin curiously, and then asked in a low voice, "You two are planning to kill me? Don't deny it, you are sweating."

Cao Yun said awkwardly: "Coach, didn't you think so just now? We are all on the same journey. You were also planning to kill me, and then said that there was no general in the army, so we did not attack the city. I have the same idea. There is no general in the army. Commander, so if we don’t attack the city...it depends on who strikes first.”

"Shameless." Murong Yanzhao was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. This Wang Pudai was not trying to help Tongguan Chai Rong, but to save his own life.

In fact, Murong Yanzhao also thought about it and launched a tentative attack if there was really no other way.If they really do this, Cao Yun and Cao Bin, father and son, will have to kill themselves... This way they can explain to His Majesty that they can besiege the city but do not want to attack it.

The same is true for Murong Yanzhao, the siege of the city will not lead to enmity, but siege is a matter of life and death, so of course there will be enmity.None of them wanted to become enemies with Guo Wei or Zong Xin, and of course they didn't want to attack the city.

Murong Yanzhao didn't blame Cao Yun for having such thoughts. In fact, he was similar. He originally planned to kill Cao Yun as an excuse to stand still. In terms of meanness, everyone was evenly divided, but in terms of martial arts...the two father and son were far superior to themselves.

Murong Yanzhao was also depressed. If the general and the vanguard were replaced by two people who were not as good at martial arts, it would be fine. I would have killed the two of them long ago, and then reported to the general that he was killed because he failed to inquire about the news. Without a general, he could only temporarily stand still.But the martial arts of Cao Yun and Cao Bin are too high, it is not difficult for them to kill themselves.
