Chapter 255
"Junior Chai Rong, listen up. His Majesty will punish you with death if Guo Wei commits the crime. The crime is not as serious as your wife and children. If you go out of the city and surrender, I will protect your life." Murong Yanzhao persuaded Chai Rong to surrender.In fact, he didn't want to fight either. It would be great if Chai Rong could surrender voluntarily.Even without offending Zong Xin, Liu Chengyou's order can be fulfilled.

"Murong Yanzhao, aren't you afraid that Master Zongxin will find you to settle accounts?" Chai Rong said with a smile: "You think Master Zongxin doesn't know that you will come to the city after you escape from Kaifeng, and he has already prepared a perfect plan. If you dare to attack the city You have no place to die."

Chai Rong's words really frightened Murong Yanzhao, everyone knows that Master Zong Xin is very good at predicting things.Hundreds of thousands of Khitan soldiers and horses died under his plan, and even the Khitan emperor was killed in the Central Plains. Facing the [-] army in Murong Yanzhao's current hands, Zong Xin might not pay attention at all.

What's more, defending the city with [-] people and attacking the city with [-] people will definitely be a deadly battle, even if it wins, it will be a tragic victory.Murong Yanzhao would not be so stupid and attack the city directly.

Cao Yun and Cao Bin were actually even more afraid. They saw Master Zong Xin and Guo Wei's family flying up with their own eyes. If Master Zong Xin wanted to protect Guo Wei's family, I am afraid that these troops would not be enough to capture Tongguan and would be killed instead. A does not stay.What's more, Cao Yun and Cao Bin didn't want to attack Tongguan, but Liu Chengyou's imperial decree had been issued, so they had to bite the bullet.

In fact, the most difficult thing is Liu Chengyou. Master Zong Xin's defense of Guo Wei's family has already spread throughout the world. The most abominable thing is the way Zong Xin took Guo Wei's family to escape from Kaifeng. Everyone in the world knows that Zong Xin brought Guo Wei with him. The family flew away, which added to Zong Xin's reputation.

In the Central Plains, Zong Xin was almost synonymous with God.And killing Guo Wei himself was not justifiable. Guo Wei's contribution far surpassed that of Liu Chengyou, the emperor. Now Liu Chengyou not only wanted to kill Guo Wei, but also offended Zong Xin.

At this time, Liu Chengyou didn't want to send more troops to encircle Tongguan, but he didn't dare and couldn't.Even if he issued an imperial decree to several Jiedu envoys near Kaifeng to send troops, these people would probably push left and right, because they didn't want to send troops to Zongxin, so as not to offend this monk.

In the end, these people may still send troops, but at most they will surround Tongguan and will never attack the city.The only person in the world who dares to attack Tongguan is probably his confidant Murong Yanzhao. Cao Yun and Cao Bin were originally farmers, and their fear of Zongxin should not be as strong as these officials, so these two people can also be used reluctantly.

Liu Chengyou really couldn't spare any troops. After all, the Yicheng Army needed to protect Kaifeng, so he had to send Hezhong Jiedu envoys to attack Tongguan.But whether Murong Yanzhao dared to attack is another matter.

Liu Chengyou knew trouble when Zong Xin escaped from Feng. As long as Zong Xin and Guo Wei were still alive, and they were still in the same way, it would be difficult for him to secure his throne.As long as Guo Wei pulls the flag to rebel, I don't know how many people will follow him.

……

"Now that Master Zong Xin is not in Tongguan, I, Murong Yanzhao, will be afraid of you, Chai Rong?"

Chai Rong smiled and said, "Brother Murong, even if you are not afraid of me, Chai Rong, are you afraid of Master Zong Xin's disciple? Xin'er, come out and show yourself."

Zhao Kuangyin hugged Guo Xin and stood on the crenel, because Guo Xin was too short and stood on the wall, so he could see the situation outside, but he really couldn't see the little bald head outside.Now standing on the crenel, everyone can see this little monk.

With a wave of Tian Ya's right hand, You Yun's eighteen riders jumped onto the tower, nineteen huge wolves and eighteen bearded monks with fierce spirits, and their momentum was no less than that of the [-] army on the opposite side.

Tianya turned around and jumped on Xiaobai's back, and then raised his true energy and shouted: "Youyun Eighteen Riders obey orders!"

"Roar!~~~"

Not only the shouts of the monks, but also the howls of nineteen wolves. The soldiers behind Murong Yanzhao really wanted to retreat, but Murong Yanzhao ruled the army with the law. Anyone who dared to make a rash move would be severely punished.So he insisted on supporting his body with a weapon to prevent himself from moving.

"Murong Yanzhao, if a person died in Tongguan, the little monk would cut your body with a knife. Do you believe it?" Tian Ya said, "My master is an eminent monk, but I am not. If you mess with my master, he will laugh it off. I'll kill your whole family."

Tianya's words were very powerful, and Murong Yanzhao also felt embarrassed.It is true that Master Zong Xin is an eminent monk, he does not hold grudges, and even if he heard that those eminent monks insulted him, he would not take it to heart.But this little monk is different, he is not a high-ranking monk, but a disciple of Zong Xin.He is the last person to mess with. If he learns Zong Xin's skills and is unwilling to become a monk... he will be the most difficult and terrifying guy in the world.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that this kid is still Guo Wei's son.Now that Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei have become like this, the two sides have become enemies.The guard in the city is this kid's eldest brother, so of course he has to protect his family.Murong Yanzhao didn't know what to do with this troublesome matter.

If it were someone else, maybe they would really forcibly attack the city.But Murong Yanzhao is different, he knows Zong Xin's true identity.When Zong Xin brought down Li Shouzhen, he trapped the 8000 Yicheng Army with his own strength.There are two reasons for this. Firstly, Murong Yanzhao is really afraid of Zong Xin, an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. Before Zong Xin has done much, lightning has already started falling around Zong Xin. This kind of spell is too terrifying.

Secondly, Zong Xin showed Murong Yanzhao the Ye Wang Ling, and Murong Yanzhao knew at that time that Zong Xin was Lei Hong's third son, Lei Tianyong.

Murong Yanzhao knew that Zong Xin must have gone to Chang'an to find Lei Hong to lead troops to counterattack. If he attacked the city at this time, he was really afraid that he would be attacked by the enemy, and then he would die.

Murong Yanzhao said with a smile: "Little monk, don't be so arrogant. I don't know how much you have. I'll give you three days. If you still don't surrender after three days, I will prepare to attack the city."

"Stop talking nonsense, attack if you want, don't wait for three more days." Tian Ya also has a temper, finally he can be arrogant once, facing Murong Yanzhao, Tian Ya has nothing to fear.They have less than [-] soldiers and horses, and they want to storm Tongguan's [-] city defenders. I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

As long as there is delay until Master's reinforcements arrive, none of the tens of thousands of them will survive.

"Let's go." Murong Yanzhao took Cao Yun and Cao Bin back to their camp immediately, retreated three miles away from Tongguan, and began to build the camp to prepare for a long-term siege.

The biggest mistake in Liu Chengyou's life was to let Murong Yanzhao attack Tongguan. Murong Yanzhao knew Zongxin's true identity, so he would never attack Tongguan by force, because it would make enemies with Zongxin and Guo Wei.

Murong Yanzhao's news is fairly well-informed. He has long heard that Guo Wei is either the emperor for three years or the prince of the first life. Now that the troubles are like this, he may not have a chance for the prince of the first life. That is the emperor for three years, which means that Guo Wei will overthrow Liu Chengyou and become the emperor. .Murong Yanzhao will not be stupid enough to offend the future emperor.

That's what I said, but Cao Yun and Cao Bin are also there, and now I can only delay time.If Liu Chengyou saw that he had no intention of attacking the city, and he personally led the army to accept the Hezhong army to attack the city again, he would have no choice.

Whether Liu Chengyou will personally conquer Tongguan is a question, but now Liu Chengyou has been forced to jump the wall, and now the whole world is blaming him, not only the people but also officials, everyone thinks that Liu Chengyou will be the emperor soon.

But everything is still inconclusive, at least Liu Chengyou is still the emperor.Moreover, Liu Chengyou had a handle on Murong Yanzhao, so even if Murong Yanzhao didn't want to attack the city, if Liu Chengyou conquered Tongguan himself, he would have to attack if he didn't want to.

The reason is simple, Liu Chengyou doesn't trust these ministers, and the ministers must have their family members in Kaifeng to be at ease.But Murong Yanzhao's wife and family are still in the river, and only Murong Yanzhao's younger brother Murong Yanzhong is the hostage.

Naturally, Liu Chengyou would not say it clearly, but let Cizhou Assassin Murong Yanzhong go to Kaifeng to discuss matters, but Liu Chengyou just didn't see him, saying that there was something important.So Murong Yanzhong stayed in Kaifeng, waiting for His Majesty to summon him.In fact, everyone knew that Liu Chengyou was this kind of person. If he didn't have a handle in his hands, Liu Chengyou would not let this person lead the army with peace of mind.

Back in the camp, Murong Yanzhao said to Cao Yun: "General Cao, Tongguan is strong and easy to defend, but the Eighty Thousand River Army is not rice and taro. Which soldier has no parents, wives and children? Their lives are very important to some people." It is also extremely precious. If we forcibly attack the city... I am afraid that even if Tongguan is captured, it will be a miserable victory."

Cao Yun nodded and said: "That's reasonable, but what's the use? It's up to you whether to attack the city or not. I, Cao Yun, will never overstep my authority. You also know that I'm just a farmer, and I don't care much about marching to attack the city. Okay, anyway, if there is anything I can order, I will choose some things that can be done, and as for finding a way... it is up to the adults to decide."

Cao Yun is honest, because he really doesn't know how to march, so he doesn't care about such things.It is also a good thing to throw all the problems to Murong Yanzhao, anyway, Cao Yun does not want to attack the city, because there are important people in the city.

"Then wait for them for three days. If they surrender within three days, everything will be fine. If they don't surrender, let's discuss what to do."

Cao Yun nodded, Cao Bin didn't say a word, but his face was a little ugly.Cao Yun took Cao Bin back to his camp, and both of them were sweating from anxiety.

"Father, we can't let Murong Yanzhao attack the city. We should kill him if necessary." Cao Bin said, "The lives of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are trivial matters, even Zong Xin's apprentice Guo Xin doesn't matter. But if we If you attack Tongguan, my little aunt will be unhappy. You also know my little aunt's temper, and we don't know how we will be scolded."

Cao Yun sighed: "Your aunt is just disobedient... Now I can't do anything about it. Assassinating Murong Yanzhao is definitely not acceptable. This is disloyalty and injustice. But I can't ignore your aunt's thoughts, and I don't know what to do."
