Chapter 50
"Master Guo, I don't know how many people and soldiers there are in Chanzhou."

"Although Chanzhou is important, it is not a big place and there are not many soldiers and horses. There are only 5 people who can be called at any time. But there are only 5 war horses."

"I have already found out the distribution of Li Shouzhen's troops. There are 8 soldiers in the Yicheng Army within Kaifeng, 5 soldiers in the reserve army outside the city, 3 personal soldiers, and 3 imperial guards." Zhao Kuangyin's news came from Li Shouzhen himself. Absolutely.

"2 horses~ Even if Mr. Guo's martial arts skills are world-class and he still has [-] soldiers, it is absolutely impossible for one to defeat ten."

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Well, the poor monk will go to the Biancheng military camp to stop the 8 Yicheng Army. Brother Yuan Long, you can go outside the city to stop the other 5000 reserve troops, and I will lend you 6 guardians. There are [-] troops, and Mr. Guo led his own soldiers to delay the time. Let the old one take Chai Rong to Chanzhou to transfer troops immediately. As soon as the soldiers and horses from Chanzhou arrive, they will be able to win. The poor monk is not good enough, so he can only do so much. "

Everyone on the scene was going crazy with fright. Is this not enough practice?Go alone to stop the Yicheng Army's 8 elite soldiers.They are the most elite troops protecting the imperial city. Although they are not directly under Li Shouzhen, everyone in Kaifeng knows that this army is under Li Shouzhen's management.How could he stop 8 troops by himself.

And the brother surnamed Zhao next to him, he can stop 5 people with Master Zong Xin's guardian?I can't imagine it at all.

Guo Wei took a deep breath and said, "If Li Shouzhen forced the palace, the [-] guards in the palace could immediately hold Emperor Yin Liu Chengyou hostage, and Guo's personal soldiers would have fallen before they arrived. What's more..."

Chai Rong said anxiously: "Yes, Master Zong Xin, why do you stop those 5000 soldiers and [-] troops?"

"The heavenly secret must not be leaked," Zong said.

"Master Zong Xin, what do you think we should do next?" Guo Wei was full of question marks.
Zong Xin was silent for a while and thought carefully. Everyone looked at Zong Xin with a very nervous expression.This is war, not a joke.Can Zong Xin hold back 8000 troops by himself?There must be other plans, let's see what this eminent monk has to say.

Zong Xin took a deep breath and said, "Let's eat first, I'm hungry."

"Master Guo... The master asked me to send Chai Rong to Chanzhou. I saw that you have been thinking about things here, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I want to ask, can I leave now?"

Guo Wei looked back at Chai Rong, and Chai Rong nodded. Although his body was still seriously injured, he managed to keep his cultivation, and with the Tiger Soul, he recovered faster than before, and his skill was higher than before. can stand it.

"Okay, let me talk to Rong'er again." Guo Wei walked to Chai Rong's bedside and whispered: "Don't be brave, you don't have to lead the troops yourself, let them ride five thousand horses and go straight to Kaifeng Being a father will naturally lead them to victory."

"The child should go all out."

After finishing speaking, the old one helped Chai Rong get up, and then put him on the horse. He reined in the silk rein and ran to the northeast immediately. The speed of the horse was amazing. The distance between Kaifeng and Chanzhou was not too close.

Guo Wei slowly left Chai Rong's room and happened to see a bonfire burning in the backyard of his home. A large number of people gathered around the fire and roasted two whole cows...

At this time, Guo Wei was a little curious, why do these Dharma protectors live so like Khitan people?The way of burning meat and drinking is very similar to the Khitan people, and they also look very similar to the Khitan people.

"Master Guo came just in time, the beef is roasting."

"What time is it? Are you still in the mood to drink and barbecue?"

Guo Wei has been so anxious these two days, one trouble after another, now that his son has been kidnapped and his life is uncertain, how can he be in the mood to drink and barbecue?But after smelling the aroma of barbecue, I also feel hungry, and I haven't eaten anything seriously for several days.

Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin had a secret discussion, and then Zhao Kuangyin took all the money of Zhao Ziyan and Zong Xin and left the Guo Mansion without knowing what to do.

That night, Li Shouzhen went to the palace and made various excuses for Liu Chengyou to remove Guo Wei from military power, even threatening him.But Liu Chengyou would never remove Guo Wei if he insisted on military power, otherwise he would be dead.

The next day, Fengxiang Jiedu sent Wang Jingchong into the reserve army outside the city, bringing Li Shouzhen's personal white jade and countless fine wines with him.The reserve army was fifteen miles away from the city, and very few people came in or out. Unexpectedly, the newly appointed Jiedushi turned out to be from Li Shouzhen, and brought so much fine wine.

After Wang Jingchong courted him a few words, he put down the wine and left the reserve army, and then returned the white jade to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zong Xin and Guo Wei stayed in the mansion and sent seventeen guardians to inquire about the news.But all this is useless, because Guo Wei cannot leave the house, even if there is news, it is useless.

The next night, Li Shouzhen entered the palace again, but this time his words were tougher and his attitude was worse, as if he would immediately rebel if he disagreed with him.

Emperor Yin has always insisted on military power and will never issue an order to remove Guo Wei from military power.Li Shouzhen didn't dare to act rashly because the divine catcher was by his side, because the divine catcher only obeyed the orders of Liu Chengyou. The two had a very close relationship, and their identities were mysterious and their martial arts skills were not weak.But no matter how good his martial arts is, he will never be able to withstand an army of [-] people.

The second night finally passed, Guo Wei and Zong Xin were sweating profusely at home, powerless to stop and could only wait for news.

On the third day, this will be Li Shouzhen's last chance for Liu Chengyou.If Liu Chengyou still does not agree to remove Guo Wei from military power today, Li Shouzhen will definitely rebel.At that time, 2 people will be brought to the palace, and no one will be able to stop it.

Liu Chengyou is not so stupid, he did not go to court on the third day.

Li Shouzhen waited outside the Golden Palace until noon, but couldn't wait, so he went straight into the harem and came to Liu Chengyou's imperial study.

"Minister Li Shouzhen sees Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty felt the wind and cold, and has already gone to sleep. Mr. Li should go back." The internal officer stood guard in front of the imperial study, preventing Li Shouzhen from entering.

Li Shouzhen said: "Your Majesty, Guo Wei left his post without authorization and stayed at home behind closed doors, and now His Majesty is doing the same... Could it be that he is the prime minister of subjugation?"

"Lord Li, pay attention to your words."

Li Shouzhen went straight up and grabbed the neck of the eunuch and twisted it lightly. The eunuch had no chance to speak again.

Li Shouzhen gritted his teeth and said: "Foolish Lord Liu Chengyou, I have given you enough opportunities, I didn't expect you to be ignorant. Now all the guards in the palace have polished their knives, and the widow's personal soldiers are ready to go at home, and the Yicheng army is ordering troops , the reserve army outside the city is also coming to Kaifeng. The time limit is sunset, and it doesn’t matter whether you live or die, I want Guo Wei’s military power.”

After kidnapping Guo Tong, there is no way out. Even if Guo Tong is released safely, Guo Wei will never give up. What's more, Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei have already confirmed that they have the intention of rebelling, and they will kill them if they have the opportunity. Own.So at this time, Li Shouzhen didn't care about anything, and already claimed to be a widow.

Direct rebellion is hard to say, so Li Shouzhen hopes to coerce the emperor to make the princes, and then gradually become emperor.Otherwise, the world will be unstable and the people will not be convinced. Even if the world is in turmoil, there will be no way to resist next year's Khitan army.

Li Shouzhen believes in Zong Xin's words, "Those who do not seek eternal life are not enough to seek temporary success."Those who do not seek a thousand miles are not enough to seek a domain. 'Although there is no ability to seek eternal life, at least we must block the coming catastrophe of the Central Plains.

Li Shouzhen didn't intend to kill Liu Chengyou, at least he had to wait until the Khitan army was defeated before killing him and proclaiming himself emperor.

"Li ~ Shou ~ Zhen ~!" A voice suddenly came from the imperial study room: "Don't be too arrogant, Guo Wei will not let you go. If you dare to rebel, you will surely die."

"Hahahaha, the widow thought you were dumb. I will give you a few more hours to think about it carefully. If you want to decree Guo Wei's military power, you may be able to live longer, otherwise you will die tonight." Li Shouzhen was suddenly gentle. Said: "By the way, I can't let you die. I still want to coerce the emperor to make the princes, but at least I dare to eunuch you, as long as I leave you alive, and say that you are sick in bed. Tube."

"Bah~~" The sound of tables and chairs being smashed came from the imperial study room.

"Go away, get out of here."

Li Shouzhen had already prepared everything. Although there were not many people, Liu Chengyou didn't have a single soldier or general around him. Even just three thousand guards could force the palace.

In fact, Li Shouzhen didn't have so much military power in Kaifeng. He only had 3000 guards.But after the death of the first emperor, Li Shouzhen colluded with the governor of Kaifeng and brought the Yicheng Army under his command. Without the [-] Yicheng Army, Li Shouzhen would not have dared to be so arrogant.

Li Shouzhen has no intention of killing yet, she is just forcing Liu Chengyou to submit.But now that he has claimed to be a widow, it doesn't matter.He just stood in front of Liu Chengyou's imperial study and never left.Just wait for the sun to set, and immediately lead the troops to enter.

Li Shouzhen also felt that he was too stupid. In fact, he could lead troops into the palace long ago. After all, all the troops in Kaifeng were in his hands.As long as these forces are gathered to surround the palace, no matter how powerful Guo Wei is, he will be at a loss.

Guo Wei's troops in Kaifeng were not many, only two thousand personal soldiers.How can two thousand beat twenty thousand?Even as long as the Yicheng army is there, he is not an opponent, not to mention that he has his own soldiers and guards.

There is indeed no way out for kidnapping Guo Tong, but there is no need to kidnap Guo Tong to do so, and even if Guo Wei is kidnapped... Guo Wei will still come out, he will definitely come out.

In fact, everyone can see this, and Master Zong Xin is no exception.The reason why Guo Tong was kidnapped was to hope that Guo Wei would be restrained so that he would have enough time to dispatch troops.When the major event has been decided, even if Guo Wei leaves from the gate of the mansion, he can't turn things around by himself.
