Chapter 285: Soldiers are in Tong Pass
Outside Tongguan
Murong Yanzhao's troops came to the city and gave Chai Rong three days to go out of the city and surrender. Three days later, Tongguan was still closed and had no intention of surrendering. This is also expected, and it is absolutely impossible to make Chai Rong surrender with a few words.
Murong Yanzhao gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the matter has come, this battle has to be started. Let's carry out the first tentative attack, of course it is a good thing that we can attack it, but if we can't attack it, how about retreating immediately?"
Cao Yun and Cao Bin were very embarrassed, and the coach ordered them not to 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 Cao Yun's two nephews in Tongguan, and he didn't want to attack the city in the first place.
However, Murong Yanzhao has already spoken, and he can't say that he doesn't want to go. It's a war, not a game.
Cao Yun said: "Boss, if you don't want to attack the city, don't attack well, so as not to waste the precious lives of our soldiers in vain." Our side has 80,000 horses, and if we attack again and again again and again, it won't be long before there are not many of these 80,000 horses left. ”
Of course, Murong Yanzhao who Cao Yun said understands that everyone understands this kind of truth. If it's just such a tentative attack, it's better not to fight. Murong Yanzhao thought that Cao Yun's proposal was still very reasonable, but ...... Murong Yanzhao had no choice.
On the one hand, we must take care of Guo Wei and Chai Rong, and we must not form too deep hatred with them. On the other hand, we have to take into account Liu Chengyou's thoughts, 80,000 against 30,000, if it wasn't for the siege, it would have been won a long time ago. Even if it is a siege, it cannot be delayed for too long.
What should I do about this? Murong Yanzhao scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, how good would it be if Chai Rong surrendered?
"Eh~General Cao......"
"Boss. ”
Murong Yanzhao said: "Otherwise...... You sneaked into Tongguan and opened the gate of Tongguan, and our army took advantage of the chaos to enter, so ......"
"I'm going to die. Cao Yun said: "Murong, I haven't offended you, why send me to find death? The city gate is heavily guarded, and I rushed in alone? It is estimated that he was killed by random arrows before he jumped to the battlement." ”
"Aren't you a martial arts master? Ordinary swords can't hurt you at all. The manpower of martial arts training is infinite, you just need to knock the door open. ”
Cao Yun gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, if the people who practice martial arts are really so powerful, why should we lead the army to fight? Directly send a few martial arts masters to destroy other people's countries." Guo Wei didn't have to be afraid of Liu Chengyou's army, he rushed directly into the palace and killed Liu Chengyou. But can he really do it? Not even a top master like Guo Wei can do it, let alone me. ”
Murong Yanzhao nodded, Cao Yun was not stupid...... If Cao Yun listened to his words and rushed in to find death, he could report to Liu Chengyou that he had attacked the city on a large scale, and the main general Cao Yun was unfortunately killed, and his morale was low and it was not suitable to fight again. Then you can retire the army. Unexpectedly, Cao Yun still has a little brain, knowing that good martial arts is not omnipotent.
If there is not a suitable reason, then it must be hit. So to find a suitable reason not to go to war, it is best to withdraw the army. Where to find such a reason?
"Report ~ There is a person outside the camp who is wearing the official uniform of the prime minister and says that he wants to see the commander of our army. But...... This person is cheesy, his face is like dirt, and he doesn't look like an official at all. His official uniform looks like that of Lord Guo. "The herald has good eyesight, and at a glance he knows that this is not a person who is an official, and he can see that this court uniform is Guo Wei's official uniform of the left minister.
Murong Yanzhao said, "Please." ”
"Ordered. ”
Cao Yun said: "Boss, this person ......"
"It must be Guo Wei who ordered someone to put on his official uniform and let this person come to our army to negotiate, but it's just ...... Lord Guo's vision should not be bad, how could he choose a person who does not look like an official to deliver the message? There must be a reason for this, ask him for a good time. ”
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 more to this Murong Yanzhao. Because Cao Yun and Cao Bin both felt that when Guo Wei came to Tongguan, this person would definitely die.
It didn't take long for the herald to bring a man into Murong Yanzhao's tent. The three people in the camp felt depressed at first glance, this person was not the material for being an official at all, he had a rustic face, he was clearly a farmer who farmed the land, and it was already great to know a few words, not to mention that he was hunched over and didn't know martial arts at all. How could Guo Wei choose this kind of person to pass on the message?
Wang Pu arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask which one is Murong Yanzhao?"
"This master is Murong Yanzhao. Murong Yanzhao originally wanted to greet this person well, but he didn't expect that a peasant would come, and he immediately sat back in his place, looking dissatisfied, and didn't want to give him face at all.
Wang Pu could see Murong Yanzhao's attitude at a glance, because he had seen a lot of this attitude, and even the heralds had this attitude towards him. Wang Pu is not small-minded, but he is very dissatisfied with Murong Yanzhao's attitude, he is the commander of the first army, and he actually looks at people from the surface.
Wang Pu chuckled and said: "This official is Master Zongxin canonized Prime Minister Wang Pu, no matter who is the lord of the world in the future, this official will be the prime minister's order." Master Zongxin has already decided that you Murong Yanzhao is short-sighted, so he ordered the official to send you a letter, please feel free if you don't read it. ”
Wang Pu also came to the ground, threw the letter on the ground, and turned away from the three people present.
Murong Yanzhao was about to go crazy, a farmer who farmed the land dared to be so arrogant in front of him? But this person sent a letter from Master Zongxin, and he couldn't help but read it. Moreover, Master Zongxin personally canonized it, this person must be the prime minister's order in the future, if not, I really want to drag him out and cut him down.
In fact, when Wang Pu first entered the camp, Murong Yanzhao was about to drag him out and cut him down, but his current attitude made Murong Yanzhao a little scared. Just now it was preparation, now it's just a thought.
Murong Yanzhao gave Cao Bin a look, although Cao Bin was unhappy, only his identity could pick up the letter at this time, and then hand it to Murong Yanzhao.
When Murong Yanzhao opened the letter, it read the words 'no siege of the city', and Murong Yanzhao recognized it as Zongxin's note. The most frightening thing is that it is stamped with a seal, which is Guo Wei's Night King Order.
Murong Yanzhao suddenly felt a chill down his spine, what he was afraid of had really happened. Zong Xin took Guo Wei to find Lei Hong, Murong Yanzhao is one of the few insiders, he knows that Zong Xin is Lei Hong's third son Lei Tianyong, if Lei Hong fully supports, there is no need for other troops, Lei Hong alone can directly take Kaifeng and help Guo Wei ascend the throne and become emperor.
Wang Pu has already proved his identity, he is not the person chosen by Guo Wei, but the person chosen by Zongxin. Although I don't know why Zong Xin chose him, the master is unpredictable, and Murong Yanzhao doesn't want to guess more, anyway, he knows that this matter is unusual, and he must think about it carefully.
Wang Pu sneered: "Hmph~ I don't know how thick the sky is, I dare to besiege Tongguan." Murong Yanzhao, I'm not afraid to tell you, as long as you order the siege of the city, you will definitely die. And there is no need to wait for Lord Guo to lead the troops to attack, and he will die in Huangquan that night. ”
"This ...... How is it possible?" Murong Yanzhao believed that if Guo Wei came to Tongguan, it was estimated that 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 when they heard this, and the person they were most afraid of was Zong Xin, because they saw Zong Xin fly away with Guo Wei's family. I believe in the legend of Soshin, and I really don't know what to do in this situation.
Cao Yun and Cao Bin had already prepared, and if Murong Yanzhao really wanted to attack the city, they would find an opportunity to kill him. Then it was said that the boss was unfortunately killed during the siege of the city, and the snake could not be headless, so Cao Yun and Cao Bin did not need to continue the siege.
Anyway, if a boss comes, they will kill a boss, and they will delay until Guo Wei leads the troops to Tongguan, so that they can show their true identities.
It was just an idea, and they didn't put it into action. Zongxin actually knew their plan first...... This kind of person is too powerful to offend at all. Originally, Cao Yun and Cao Bin's father and son just wanted to recognize their relative Guo Wei and use his influence to develop their status, but now they are more worried about Zong Xin, and they must not be enemies with this person.
As the saying goes, knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but this enemy can even calculate his own thoughts clearly, and it is absolutely a 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, "Are you two planning to kill me?" Don't deny it, you guys are in a cold sweat." ”
Cao Yun said embarrassedly: "Boss, didn't you think the same way just now? You are also preparing to kill me, and then say that there is no master general in the army, so you will not attack the city. I think the same way, there is no commander in the army, so I don't attack the city...... It's up to you to start first. ”
"Shameless. Murong Yanzhao was also shocked into a cold sweat, this Wang Pu did not help Tongguan Chai Rong, but to save his own life.
In fact, Murong Yanzhao also thought about it, but there was really no way to attack tentatively. If this is really done, Cao Yun and Cao Bin, father and son, will have to kill themselves...... In this way, it can be explained to His Majesty that they can besiege the city but do not want to attack it.
The same is true for Murong Yanzhao, besieging a city will not make enemies, but besieging a city is a matter of life and death, so it will naturally be revenge. None of them wanted to make a feud 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 this kind of thought, in fact, he was almost the same, he originally planned to kill Cao Yun as an excuse to stay still, to talk about despicability, everyone is equal, but about martial arts...... These two fathers and sons are far superior to themselves.
Murong Yanzhao was also depressed, if the general and the vanguard were replaced by two people with poor martial arts, he would have killed these two people a long time ago, and then the general was killed by mistake for inquiring about the news, and there was no general who could only stand still for the time being. But the martial arts of Cao Yun and Cao Bin are too high, and it is not difficult for them to kill themselves.
