Chapter 300
Murong Yanzhao said: "This incident has proved that there is not much grain to eat in Tongguan, so Chai Rong will deliberately transport grain from outside. King Yan, what do you think about this matter? The grain and grass in Tongguan should not last long, but the current situation In a crisis, you can’t keep besieging the city without attacking until they run out of ammunition and food. If you want to siege the city, it’s better to siege the city from all sides, and the current strength should be enough.”

King Yan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to attack the city from all sides, you can attack the city from both sides. Although Tongguan is large, it only has two gates. In addition to the south gate, the north gate also has a gate that is not often opened. Just guard these two gates. , none of the people in Tongguan can come out alive. If you don’t concentrate your troops and don’t disperse, it’s too dangerous to attack the city from all sides at this time, so it’s best to attack the city from two sides.”

"Siege the city from two sides? Tongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since the defenses on the north and south sides are strong, I think it is more advantageous to attack the city from four sides."

"No, no, no, if their forces are too scattered, they can choose a way to concentrate their forces to break out. Since the north gate is too close to the Wei River, they may not dare to break out and jump into the river to survive." Murong Yanchao said: "You The boy still has something to learn. Unfortunately, I am still a step late. If I were to lead the army, I would never have concentrated all [-] troops on the south gate. Instead, I would have deployed [-] troops on each of the south gates. In this case, what happened just now would not have happened. It happened. However, this king also understands that the soldiers in Hezhong only listen to your orders, and there are no two commanders in the army. In order to ensure safety, there is no division of troops to block the door."

Murong Yanzhao really doesn't know how to explain it. In fact, everyone can think that Tongguan has only [-] troops no matter how strong it is. .

But Murong Yanzhao would never do this, even if he knew that someone was going to transport grain to Tongguan.If half of the troops are sent to the north gate, who should be in command of these soldiers?Liu Chengyou absolutely can't do it, Murong Yanzhao will never give him so many troops, Cao Yun and Cao Bin can't believe it, if you let a subordinate command the troops, you won't be able to convince the crowd.

Murong Yanzhao was also helpless, he had to concentrate all the troops on his own to sleep at ease, otherwise he was really afraid of mutiny.After all, Hezhong had traveled a long way to get here, so he left his hometown and ran here to die?No one can do this. Soldiers are human beings too. They all have their own ideas. Especially in these days, the chance of soldiers mutinying is too high. They must know that they are safe. They will definitely win this battle. Otherwise, there will be no chance of a mutiny. Can't control it.

Murong Yanzhao hadn't taken over Hezhong Jiedushi long enough, and more than half of Hezhong's casualties occurred when he attacked Yelu Deguang. The foundation is not solid, if these soldiers are not around, they may not be willing to listen to their own words.

"King Yan has a high opinion, the guilty minister deserves to die."

Murong Yanchao said: "I know your difficulties, just a few jokes just now. But the matter is settled, then let me attack the north gate, how about you attack the south gate?"

Murong Yanzhao nodded and said, "It's all up to King Yan."

"Well, tomorrow we will organize the whole army, make siege equipment, and choose another day to attack the city." Murong Yanchao said, "I, King Yan, will lead [-] soldiers to attack the north gate. Let's give him a combined north-south attack, and Tongguan will definitely be broken."

Liu Chengyou's complexion finally improved a little. For nearly a month, Liu Chengyou's eyebrows were connected together and never separated at all.There were too many worries surrounding him, and he was unwilling to do so and was afraid of being attacked secretly.Today, I finally had some good starts, and I finally saw hope.

In fact, Liu Chengyou knows better than anyone else that he is not an emperor at all, and he has no power of an emperor except that he is honored as long live by the population in name.Since he knew that Guo Wei rebelled in Chang'an more than a month ago, the whole world knew that he was the only one kept in the dark, which made Liu Chengyou very chilling.

After being the emperor for several years, he could be regarded as destroying the Khitan army to protect the Central Plains during his reign. Although most of the things were done by Zongxin, Zongxin would never be able to succeed without his own support.Why should all the credit go to Zong Xin and Guo Wei?But you don't have the slightest support?
Originally, he could become an emperor through the ages and unify the world, but in the end... he couldn't even survive as an emperor.

Murong Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you alone."

"The emperor please first."

Murong Yanchao led Liu Chengyou out of the tent, and then left the camp directly. After giving instructions to his subordinates, the soldiers led by Murong Yanchao will immediately transfer to the north gate of Tongguan, and set up camp by the Weishui River.During this period, Murong Yanchao ordered many things, and he didn't have time to talk to Liu Chengyou at all. Liu Chengyou was not in a hurry, and waited until dawn before spending time alone with Murong Yanchao.

Murong Yanchao said: "I said... Liu Chengyou, when there are people, you are the king and I am a minister. When there are no one, I am your uncle. Uncle has a few words to say to you, don't treat me as a minister to the king. Advice is just a few common words, are you willing to listen?"

"Uncle, please tell me."

"It can be said that it is your own fault that things have reached this point, so don't blame others." Murong Yanchao said: "I have done many wrong things before, but this time you made too many mistakes. Murong Yanzhao was also helpless, he couldn't If you dare to continue attacking the city, even if you attack again, it will be meaningless. Even if you win this battle, you will really die when Guo Wei sends troops from Chang'an. Murong Yanzhao does not dare to tell you about Guo Wei's rebellion in Chang'an. He also didn’t dare to continue attacking the city, so he kept pushing back. Don’t blame him for this.”

Liu Chengyou nodded and said: "What the emperor taught me is that Murong Yanzhao is not a traitor."

"I didn't say that. It's still unclear whether Murong Yanzhao is a traitor or a loyal person, but at least it seems that he is very useful to us now. Don't make trouble with him anymore. I can tell from Murong Yanzhao's eyes that you If the pressure is tighter, I am afraid that Murong Yanzhao will really defect to Guo Wei, and then our Liu family will be ruined in your hands. But... even if we win this battle, Murong Yanzhao will People can't be reused, just give him a fief and let him be a prince. As for the military power, you still have to hold it in your own hands, you know?"

"clear."

In fact, Liu Chengyou didn't think about settling accounts after the fall, but it's not bad to do it according to the emperor's uncle's method.If Murong Yanzhao has meritorious service, give him the reward he deserves, and if he makes mistakes, part of his power will be cut off. This will benefit everyone.

Murong Yanchao said: "And your second uncle, this guy is nothing at all, he actually helped outsiders take over his family's country, this incident made me very angry. But people have their own ambitions, don't blame your second uncle, the world Everyone wants to be emperor. What's more, there are not many people without him, and he can't stop Guo Wei from rebelling anyway."

Liu Chengyou didn't know what the emperor's uncle meant, but the second emperor's uncle was indeed unreasonable. He actually helped outsiders beat him. If it weren't for him... I believe Guo Wei would still be able to fight back, and there would still be hundreds of thousands of troops following him. This point Liu Chengyou knew very well that Guo Wei had such appeal.

Guo Wei's reputation is very good, and his martial arts is high, and he is good at using soldiers. Such a rebellion will have many people's support.Liu Chengyou didn't want to touch Guo Wei at first, but for some reason this matter went all the way to the dark, and he attacked Guo Wei in a daze.

At that time, I thought it was a sure thing, but who would have expected Zong Xin to fly out of the sky and rescue all the people in the Guo family.I always thought that Zong Xin would help me with all my strength, but it turned out that the only person I could trust in this world was myself, not even the eminent monks who had attained the Tao were worthy of trust.

"Is it true that you only have one copy of the Red Emperor's True Essence in your body?"

"Yes, Uncle Emperor, that's also my fate. I met a man in trouble in the martial arts world and learned about the Red Emperor's true essence from him, so I personally killed him to get this Red Emperor's true essence." Liu Chengyou Said: "Uncle Huang, if you ask this, it must be because you also have the Red Emperor's true essence in your body, and there is more than one copy."

"You guessed it right. I have two shares of the Red Emperor's true essence in my body. I am considered a martial artist. I have known about this for a long time. Only after destroying eight sects did I get two shares of the Red Emperor's true essence. Since everyone in the body If you have the Chidi Zhenyuan, you should also know how much the Chidi Zhenyuan can help you improve your skills. Many people have forgotten the saying "The Chidi Chongguang, the heaven and the earth are called emperors", because the Chidi Zhenyuan is scattered, so Everyone doesn't pay attention to the matter of the Red Emperor's true essence, but it is actually very important. As long as you have enough of the Red Emperor's true essence in your body, you can indeed become the king of the world. This is the only time where Zong Xin miscalculated."

Liu Chengyou shook his head and said, "What does the emperor mean? Zong Xin missed it?"

For Liu Chengyou, the Zong Xin he knew has always been a prophet, and he has never missed it.

"Yes, Zong Xin is considered to be at fault." Murong Yanchao said: "Zong Xin is an expert in the world, if he assists Guo Wei with all his strength, I'm afraid we have no chance of winning. So we have only one chance to win, then It is the matter of Zong Xin's miscalculation. You must have heard of Zong Xin's performance in the Chidi cave. He actually walked in the barrier that no few masters today could break. Then he wanted to monopolize it at that time. The Chidi Zhenyuan and the dispersion of the Chidi Zhenyuan are also due to this. Therefore, if you want to defeat Zongxin, you must rely on the Chidi Zhenyuan. Guo Xin, the youngest son of Guo Wei in Tongguan, and Zhao Kuangyin from the Zhao Clan both have the Red Emperor Zhenyuan. , if possible, you and I each have a share. You use the Red Emperor’s true essence to save your life, and I use the Red Emperor’s true essence to improve my skills. If I have three copies of the Red Emperor’s true essence in my body, Guo Wei may not be my opponent. As long as I defeat Guo Wei , the Red Emperor's true essence in his body will also belong to you, and we will each have three shares, and no one will lose."

Liu Chengyou immediately nodded and said: "Uncle Emperor, I want the Red Emperor True Yuan just to save my life, but if there is no throne, what's the point of living? The Emperor's uncle uses the Red Emperor True Yuan to be more effective than me."

Murong Yanchao said: "After this matter is over, we will gather our forces to attack the Zhao Clan first. As long as the Chidi Zhenyuan in Zhao Jing's body returns to us, there will be no opponents in the world. Let's nibble away Lei Hong and Song Yan little by little. power, the unification of the world is just around the corner.”

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your timely charcoal."

"I also don't want to die from freezing and starving, as long as I guarantee my prosperity and wealth, I won't suffer from freezing and starving, and I will never turn my gun on my own people." Murong Yanchao said: "It's getting late, you should sleep for a while Well, I still want to organize the siege, make preparations today, and attack the city immediately tomorrow, and I must capture Tongguan before Guo Wei sends troops, otherwise everything will be over."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Emperor."

Murong Yanchao left the camp to let Liu Chengyou have a good rest. After leaving the camp, the two of them sneered at the same time, but in fact they had different intentions.What they are thinking about is naturally the opponent's Red Emperor True Yuan. As long as all the Red Emperor True Yuan are gathered into one body, the gods in the sky may not be their opponents. Even if they only have one copy, their skills will be greatly improved.

As long as Tongguan is conquered, if necessary, kill the opponent and take the Red Emperor's true essence by force. If there are six copies of the Red Emperor's true essence, Guo Wei may not be his opponent. After all, Guo Wei only has one copy of the Red Emperor's true essence in his body. It is indeed pitiful in comparison.

In fact, most people have not forgotten the matter of the Red Emperor's true essence, but it is a pity that the Red Emperor's true essence has been scattered, and it is not known where it went.And what to do? If you want to capture the true essence of the Red Emperor, you must kill the previous owner. This is a cannibalistic game.But everyone knows that if the Red Emperor's true essence can be gathered in one body, no one in the world can stop him, even if the opponent is a martial arts master and has millions of soldiers, it will not help. Imagine a lot of rabbits besieging a tiger , just to add food to others.
