Chapter 298
Murong Yanchao shook his head and said, "Does it hurt? Do you hate? You really are hopeless. You know the pain when you are slapped twice, but don't those soldiers who shot to death with random arrows during the siege don't know the pain? Don't I thought you were really great. If it wasn’t for your father’s ability, what would you be now? You are one of the soldiers who rushed to die. You eat food and shit. What is the emperor? You are also a people."

Murong Yanchao's words still did not wake up Liu Chengyou, at this time Liu Chengyou's eyes were still full of hatred.Just taking these words as a weight to increase hatred does not mean to listen to them at all.

"I don't want to talk about other nonsense. You are Liu Adou who can't help you. Guo Wei had already rebelled in Chang'an more than a month ago, but it was clearly not a rebellion. He used the name of 'Qingjun side' to say you There are treacherous ministers around you, but it’s actually a rebellion, but it’s hard to say. If he kills Kaifeng, you will definitely die. Your second uncle Liu Chong fully supports it. The reason is very simple. He wants to be emperor, and there will be hundreds of thousands The army set off from Chang'an and went directly to Kaifeng. By then you will no longer be the emperor, and I am not a prince. Now, whether you return to Kaifeng and wait for death, or directly lead troops into Chang'an to seek death, it's up to you. I have some soldiers, answer Xu Zhou is firmly guarding the city, Guo Wei does not dare to provoke Lao Tzu, when the time comes, I will proclaim myself emperor, so I won’t have to wait on you.”

"Guo Wei dares to rebel?" Liu Chengyou said in surprise: "Second uncle actually gave his full support? Hundreds of thousands of troops? It's over, Guo Wei rebelled."

"You want to kill his whole family. If others don't rebel, are they waiting to be killed by you?" Murong Yanchao said with a smile: "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 is simply standing on a needle. 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, everyone in the world will hold it. There is no need for Guo Wei to order you to kill you with a knife, you are a hated emperor."

"Impossible, how could I not know about such a big matter?" Liu Chengyou said, "Murong Yanzhao, is this true or false?"

Both Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret, so they nodded and admitted.

Liu Chengyou said angrily, "How could you two conceal such a big matter and not report it?"

"What's the use of reporting? Your civil servants in the court didn't report. They both said it was nothing. Now you are no longer the emperor. The country may change hands at any time. Everyone is waiting and watching the situation, otherwise you think Why is no one listening to you? The whole world is that you don't know the news, everyone around you knows it." Murong Yanchao said: "It's up to you what to do now, I brought [-] soldiers and horses, This is also my full pocket of soldiers, plus Murong Yanzhao's soldiers and horses, there should be [-] to [-] in total, whether to stick to Kaifeng on the return journey or continue to attack Tongguan, please make an order."

"We can't retreat. Guo Wei and even Yelu Deguang were able to trap hundreds of thousands of men in Kaifeng. I can't make this mistake." Liu Chengyou said: "Continue to attack Tongguan. Now that we have enough manpower, we must attack Tongguan as soon as possible. This is a must. As long as Tongguan is captured before Guo Wei sends troops, Guo Wei will only dare to watch outside Tongguan and not dare to advance. Otherwise, he will be attacked from both sides and will be defeated."

"This sentence is a bit like an emperor." Murong Yanchao said: "It is also because the late emperor left too early, otherwise these troubles would never have happened. Liu Chengyou, listen carefully, third uncle, I will do my best to help you This time, you must clearly see who is your friend and who is your enemy. Murong Yanzhao dares to send troops to help you at this time. This is a loyal minister. Others will no longer send troops for you. But as long as you win this battle In this match, the whole world will only follow you, if you lose this match, you will die without a place to die."

"Third uncle's lesson is that I understand." Liu Chengyou no longer dared to call himself "I", he already understood how dangerous the situation is now.But I didn't expect Guo Wei to rebel in Chang'an. If Guo Wei proclaims himself king, the world will be divided into two halves.

But Liu Chengyou knew that Guo Wei would not do this. The reason was very simple. Guo Wei's rebellion was not to seize his own country, but to seize the antidote from his family.

"Report~~"

"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 through. If you buy siege equipment from the Wang Clan, it will take less than two months." , I'm afraid Guo Wei will have already attacked Kaifeng by then."

"It's not stupid. I know that Tongguan is difficult to break through and requires the siege equipment of the king. But this is all nonsense. Now that the situation is severe, I have cut off my own back road to help you. You have to remember clearly, there are people who can add icing on the cake Now, sending carbon in the snow is a friend."

"Uncle Huang taught me a lesson." Liu Chengyou said: "Now we should attack the city from all sides and take Tongguan as soon as possible. Afterwards, we will settle in Tongguan to consolidate our defenses. If Guo Wei dares to attack Tongguan, Kaifeng will immediately send troops to help. If he dares to attack Kaifeng, Tongguan will send troops to flank him. , so Guo Wei can only surround Tongguan and dare not rush into it, dare not attack the city. As long as there is a delay of two or three months, everyone will decide that Guo Wei cannot win, and they will return to my account, and Guo Wei will be dead without a whole body."

Murong Yanchao nodded and said, "Okay, this is my elder brother's son."

Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun were very surprised. Why did Liu Chengyou become smart all of a sudden?He was acting like a fool just now, but suddenly came up with such a profound strategy.As the emperor, he doesn't need to direct the siege himself, as long as the overall strategy is properly arranged, and the rest is left to others.At least this time Liu Chengyou did nothing wrong, the strategy he came up with is indeed feasible.

Originally, Murong Yanzhao and Cao Yun thought that if he knew that Guo Wei was rebelling, he would beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother and borrow troops to resist Guo Wei.If Liu Chengyou really did this, it would be a dead end, because no one would send troops for him at this time.Doing so will not only lose face, but will delay the military situation and make things out of hand.If Liu Chengyou does this, it will make Guo Wei passive, but the premise is that he wants to win Tongguan.

But is Liu Chengyou's method really useful?So what if we win Tongguan?Guo Wei directly attacked Kaifeng regardless of Tongguan. If Kaifeng had enough troops to resist, he could attack back and forth. But if Kaifeng did not have enough troops, it would be useless to send troops from Tongguan.Guo Wei was at most a little troublesome, turned his gun and attacked again, until he dared not send troops to Tongguan.

However, the soldiers were tricky. Guo Wei didn't know whether Kaifeng had enough troops, so he didn't dare to rush forward.But as long as someone tipped off the news, it would be useless for Liu Chengyou to win Tongguan.

Murong Yanchao said, "How many troops does Kaifeng have?"

"In addition to the Yicheng Army and the City Guard Army, plus the Reserve Army, there are a total of more than 2 horses. Temporary recruitment can make up [-] troops."

"Based on this strength, you want to kill Guo Wei by attacking back and forth?" Murong Yanchao also noticed this problem, so he pointed out Liu Chengyou's strategic mistake.

Liu Chengyou said with a smile: "You know this, but Guo Wei doesn't. As long as Tongguan is stationed with heavy troops, Guo Wei will never dare to rush in. What is false is real, and real is false. Those soldiers must not belong to Guo Wei. Even if Guo Wei holds heavy soldiers , Those in power dare not let their soldiers take risks. Unless they win without losing, these people will definitely retreat. At that time, Guo Wei must attack Tongguan, otherwise he will not be able to move forward to Kaifeng. Tongguan is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you use the old trick to build a fort outside the pass, you will definitely lose this battle. No one dares to delay with Guo Wei for such a long time. If Guo Wei proclaims himself emperor in Chang'an, maybe he will have enough time to spend with me, but he is fighting Raising troops in the name of "the side of the Qing Dynasty" is Guo Wei's biggest failure. If he wants to rebel and proclaim himself emperor, he dare not say it out loud. An idiot talking about a dream."

Liu Chengyou suddenly became witty, which made Murong Yanchao very excited.Because Zong Xin said that he would die of cold and hunger, so he was not afraid of fighting, because he would not die on the battlefield.In order not to die of cold and starvation, it is necessary to keep the throne, keep the Liu family, and it doesn't matter who is the emperor.Murong Yanchao also has no ambition to become emperor.

But Zhendong King Liu Chong is different, he is ambitious.At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan was the envoy of Hedong Jiedu. Liu Zhiyuan rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor, but he passed the country to Liu Chengyou, a brat.Liu Chong was ready to proclaim himself emperor a long time ago, so he insisted on ingratiating himself with the title of Zhendong King, because Liu Chong's power is greatest in Hedong, and as long as he reaches the Hedong District, Liu Chong's territory is all there, Liu Chong only needs to see the right time to follow the example of the late emperor Liu Zhiyuan to ascend the throne proclaim oneself emperor.

This time Liu Chong will not let go of the good opportunity, and must gather all his troops to counterattack Kaifeng.And this time the world is united, Guo Wei has worked hard and is a loyal minister. Liu Chengyou actually wanted to kill him. This is the biggest mistake Liu Chengyou made. One has to die, and judging by the current situation, Liu Chengyou has lost more.

Murong Yanchao actually didn't want to be in troubled waters, but if he was deposed now, he would no longer be a prince, and the power he had gained so far would be gone. In the end, he would have no choice but to flee to the Kunlun Mountains to live under someone else's roof.But Zong Xin said that he died of cold and starvation. The journey to Kunlun was long and there were many uninhabited places along the way. Moreover, the temperature near Kunlun was extremely cold. Therefore, we must not go to the Kunlun Sect like this. What if Master Zong Xin really criticized him? ?
Murong Yanchao didn't really want to help Liu Chengyou, he just wanted to keep his throne.As long as the throne is in place, he will not suffer from cold and starvation.But this is also a risky move. What if Guo Wei wins?You can't escape with tens of thousands of soldiers, right?Surrender to Datang?In Dahan, he is a prince, but in Tang Dynasty, he is a general with no status at all.
