Chapter 254
Within Tongguan
Murong Yanzhao's soldiers approached the city, Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong stared at the tens of thousands of people under the city and swallowed non-stop. Now in Tongguan, apart from Guo Wei's original 2 people who were somewhat damaged, there were also some of Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan's troops. A total of [-] troops.

[-] troops defend the city, and [-] come to attack... Since Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they may not lose.Just being trapped in Tongguan, everyone's psychological pressure became very high.

"Youyun Eighteen Cavalry listened to the order and immediately rushed out of the city to kill all the 8 horses, leaving no one behind."

"Listen to you MB, how stupid are you to think of us? 18 people go chopping down tens of thousands, and each of them can drown us with a single piss." The old one: "Zhao, don't pretend to be the boss here. , we only listen to Zong Xin's words. We can listen to Tianya's words when necessary, but we must also consider whether we can do it."

Zhao Kuangyin was very embarrassed, it was just a joke, and the old one was so angry.

Tian Ya said: "Brother, I'm not yet 10 years old, my calamity hasn't passed yet, right?"

"Don't worry, you have worshiped Zong Xin as your teacher, so you should not have to worry about your life. If there is any danger, You Yun Eighteen Riders will escort you out of Tongguan." Chai Rong has great confidence in Zong Xin, and he also has confidence in You Yun. These eminent monks are very confident.

A few days ago, Xiaobai returned to Tongguan with two gray wolves. At that time, there was also a secret report from Kaifeng. Zong Xin took Guo Wei's family and flew away from Fengguan in front of Liu Chengyou's eyes.

Everyone was excited when they heard the news, but also very depressed at the same time.Zong Xin can fly?And flying with Guo Wei's family?Zhao Kuangyin regretted it very much. If he had known that he would go to Kaifeng with Zong Xin and the others, he had never flown in his life.I thought it would be dangerous...

No wonder Zong Xin said that he would regret it, but he really did something that caught his eye.Zhao Kuangyin knew that following Zongxin was not a disadvantage, but going to Kaifeng like this was tantamount to death.Zong Xin can stay out of the matter, but Guo Wei is basically a dead end.Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't go with him, but who would have thought that this shameless monk would actually rescue Guo Wei's family from Kaifeng, and still fly away.

Tianya is also very sorry, because he also wants to know what it feels like to fly.And I really didn't know that my master could fly.He is really a monk who can do everything in a hurry. This master is too powerful. How many years will it take him to learn to fly?
Tian Ya said: "It's a pity, Master hasn't taught me all his skills, if he taught me all his skills, let alone tens of thousands of troops here, even hundreds of thousands of troops, I don't care inside."

"Stop bragging in front of me, there are hundreds of thousands of troops...Zong Xin himself has to pee his pants in fright." Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Not going to Kaifeng with Zong Xin may be the thing I regret most in my life, or even the only thing I regret. Things. Because I am afraid that there will be no chance to regret it again. Once these people attack the city, we can only defend to the death. As long as Tongguan is broken, we will die."

Chai Rong said: "That's right, but Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is much stronger than ordinary cities. It is not easy to break through Tongguan. What's more, there are [-] troops in the city. As long as there is enough food and grass, Zongxin will definitely be able to survive." Master and my adoptive father are back."

"Are you waiting for them? I don't know where these people have gone. Even if they are alive now, I estimate that Guo Wei may come to reinforce, but Zong Xin will definitely not. That shameless monk is more afraid of death than anyone else, unless He brought troops to reinforce, otherwise, if you want Zong Xin to accompany us to defend Tongguan, go ahead and dream."

Chai Rong didn't understand why Zhao Kuangyin said that about Master Zong Xin?Master Zong Xin still afraid of death?Zong Xin's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and it was a near-death experience to accompany his adoptive father to Kaifeng. Facing Liu Chengyou's tens of thousands of troops in Kaifeng, few of them were not afraid.Now that Tongguan has [-] troops no matter what, what does Master Zong Xin have to be afraid of?

Tian Ya nodded and said: "Uncle Zhao is right, my master will definitely not accompany us to defend Tongguan, at most he will borrow troops to reinforce and attack Murong Yanzhao from front to back. But if master can't borrow soldiers, he will Instead of watching us die, he will close his eyes."

Zhao Kuangyin agreed with Tianya's words very much, and was also very relieved that he was not the only one who saw Zong Xin's shamelessness in this world.

"Third brother, how can you slander Master Zong Xin like this? He saved the lives of our whole family more than once?"

"Zong Xin/Master is such a person..." Zhao Kuangyin and Tian Ya also didn't understand, isn't Chai Rong very smart?He didn't see Zong Xin's true face clearly?But Zong Xin really did a good job on the surface, if he hadn't been with him for a long time, it would be hard to see through his meanness and shamelessness.

Chai Rong was so angry that he almost opened his mouth to curse, but he couldn't open his mouth when facing Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya Chai Rong, because they spent far more time with Zong Xin than himself, so they had the right to comment on him like this, but these comments were completely It is slander, absolutely slander.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Chai Rong, you can accept me if I put it another way. Zong Xin is smart in doing this. Tongguan City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are [-] troops in the city. It doesn't matter whether Zong Xin comes or not. Relationship. The most important thing Zong Xin should do now is to borrow troops. If there is a large army to attack both front and back, it will surely defeat Murong Yanzhao's tens of thousands of troops. Jiangshan. So he will not accompany us to defend Tongguan."

Tian Ya said: "Yes, master is smart to do this, otherwise it will be a dead end if you stick to Tongguan. Back then, Li Shouzhen and Zhao Siwan had no reinforcements because they stuck to Tongguan, so that my father built a fort outside the city and forced Li Shouzhen to jump over the wall. They didn't have reinforcements. If the city It is not difficult to build another fortress outside the city, so he has to go out of the city to tear down these fortresses. But if they had reinforcements, they would attack back and forth, and my father's [-] army would have died long ago. My master is so smart How can people who don't know the truth of forgetting the past and being the teacher of the future?"

After hearing these explanations, Chai Rong felt much more comfortable.In fact, the meaning is the same, just changed the wording.Zong Xin would definitely borrow troops for reinforcements. If Zong Xin hadn't borrowed soldiers, he could only watch Tongguan pass broken, and he would never go to Tongguan pass to stand firm with them.

"Yes, yes, it would be better if the foster father and Master Zongxin didn't come." Chai Rong said: "If they are all in Tongguan, I'm afraid we will be trapped in Tongguan like Li Shouzhen. But if they leave, we will be trapped in Tongguan." If there is a chance to find reinforcements, Tongguan has a chance. So until Zong Xin and Yifu find reinforcements, we must guard the gate of Tongguan."

Tian Ya nodded and said: "Brother, that's the right way to say it. I estimate that the shortest two months, at the most three months, my master will definitely rush to Tongguan with reinforcements. But these few months we have to stick to it, we must delay Come to my master to bring troops to reinforce."

"How do you know that the shortest period is two months, and the maximum is three months? Has Master Zong Xin told you?" Chai Rong was very surprised, how could Tianya know such a thing?Even he himself doesn't know.

Tian Ya said: "I did the math myself, have you never learned arithmetic? I was shocked when Master taught me how to count. I didn't remember any of the formulas... But if it's just to conquer here If so, there is no need for a formula, as long as you do a little calculation, you will know that it will take at least this much time."

'Pa~' Zhao Kuangyin patted Tianya's bald head, and then said: "Don't be so glib as your master, tell the truth."

Tian Ya said helplessly: "I guess, it's fine. Don't keep hitting me on the head, what if you make me stupid?"

"Beating is not stupid. I was beaten every day when I was a child. Do you think I am stupid?"

Both Tianya and Chai Rong stared at Zhao Kuangyin, and Chai Rong immediately pulled Tianya to his side to prevent Zhao Kuangyin from hitting him again.Obviously, people who are beaten every day are a little stupid, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't realize it.

Although Tianya guessed, this estimate is similar to what Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong thought.Zong Xin can invite Lei Hong, and I believe he can also call Lei Hong's army.

Zhao Kuangyin is very aware of the relationship between Zongxin and Lei Hong. Chai Rong just vaguely feels that the relationship between the two is not shallow. Their relationship is definitely higher than the [-]% profit of Zongxin's Yandao business, because before the Yandao business, Lei Hong showed The state of obeying Master Zongxin.

Therefore, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are very sure that Zong Xin can call Lei Hong's army.If you want to go from Kaifeng to Chang'an, let Lei Hong mobilize the army, and order Qi soldiers to go to Tongguan again, I'm afraid it will take more than a month.If Lei Hong goes out to fight, it will be tantamount to rebellion, and there will be resistance in the middle, so the estimated time is about two to three months.

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong are very worried, they worry that they won't be able to hold on for so long.They have never experienced the feeling of being besieged by tens of thousands of people.At this time, it depends on Chai Rong and his psychological quality. If Chai Rong is a strong general, he should be able to save the day. After all, there are 3 people defending the city, and less than [-] attacking the city. The victory depends on the general's ability.

The 8 people in the city lined up neatly, and Murong Yanzhao managed the army well. The 8 people were not in disorder, and they were only tens of meters away from the city gate.

At this time, no one dared to speak in the huge Tongguan Pass, and no one dared to take a breath in the plain outside the pass. The whole place was extremely quiet.As long as Murong Yanzhao waved his hand, countless people would die.

Suddenly, three cavalry ran out from the army.The three rode horses directly to the gate of Tongguan. Murong Yanzhao, Cao Yun, and Cao Bin came outside Tongguan to prepare for the first negotiation.

Murong Yanzhao looked up at Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin on the crenel, and then went around to make sure that Zong Xin was not in Tongguan at this time. If Zong Xin and Guo Wei didn't show up for such a big event, it would be too shameful .What's more, no one outside Tongguan has entered, and Liu Chengyou has sent an internal response to convey the news to the outside.
