royal robes

Chapter 576
Zong Xin and Guo Wei are very aware of the embarrassment of the current situation. It is not that Da Zhou has no military force, but there are not so many people who are willing to give everything for the country.They all thought that Guo Wei was doomed this time, and of course they would not do anything to help Guo Wei. These people waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and then flattered the new emperor.

If Guo Wei wins this battle, these people will naturally send troops to fight with all their strength.In fact, it is just pretending, and they will not really fight at all, because they will only send troops when Guo Wei has established a victory, and there will be no more battles to fight at that time.

What can Guo Wei do?You can't kill all these people.But as long as a few more are killed, public outrage will be aroused immediately. When all Jiedu envoys unite, Guo Wei will not be able to bear such a rebellion.

This is the chief culprit of the criticism of the Tang Dynasty and even the mediocrity of today's change of dynasty, that is, the emperor's power is not as strong as imagined.Jiedushi from all over the world has always held the lifeline of the world. They are not strong individually, but they can subvert any regime when united. These people will only unite when they are threatened, so they cannot be moved, nor can these people be allowed to do whatever they want. .

It is difficult to be an emperor, because it is the most difficult to be an emperor in this era.If you want to unify the world, the first thing to do is not to deal with the enemy, but to deal with the countless Jiedu envoys under your own. Some people may only have 1000 troops, but these Jiedu envoys are extremely large in number. Together, they can sweep the world.

"Father-in-law, is there anything else you need to add?"

Guo Wei nodded and said: "Is Xuzhou safe? I am the emperor, and I feel a little ashamed that I did not go to the battlefield for this kind of battle. Moreover, the coalition forces of Murong Yanchao and Li Jing are quite large, can they hold on?"

Both Guo Wei and Song Yan were more worried about the safety of Xuzhou, because this time Li Jing and Murong Yanchao were determined to win, so Li Jing sent an army of [-] people, almost emptying the treasury, and prepared to swallow up the fat piece of Zhou.Murong Yanchao also wanted to restore his status and strength, and he killed one of Guo Wei's sons and daughters. He was worried that Guo Wei would take revenge one day, so he had to strike first because Guo Wei's martial arts was better than him.

If Xuzhou falls, no matter how hard we try here, it will be useless. As long as Xuzhou is defeated, the entire Great Zhou will fall. At that time, it will be like a snowball, and the strength of the opponent will become stronger and stronger. No power to fight back.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have summoned a heavy snowfall. The temperature in Xuzhou is extremely low. Murong Yanchao and Li Jing have no money. It will take a long time for them to prepare winter clothes. Those soldiers are in Xuzhou." The state is freezing, so how can we think about attacking the city?"

Zong Xin's words made Guo Wei and Song Yan tremble again. Can Zong Xin even do such a thing?Not only these two people, but others were also shocked. If Zong Xin even had the ability to summon wind and rain, he would be extraordinary.Although I always knew that Zong Xin could create all kinds of miracles, I really didn't expect that he could even do this kind of thing.

Han Lingkun said: "This matter is absolutely true, I have seen it with my own eyes. Now that Xuzhou is snowing heavily, this has never happened before, and the enemy troops are almost scared out of their wits. But it is very strange that His Majesty was able to get Murong Yanchao to invite We all know about King Xue's assassination of Master Zong Xin, but we don't know about Xuzhou Daxue."

Guo Wei explained: "Everyone knows why there is a need to report such a big event. After finally installing a spy, of course we have to report something that only some people know. Anyway, the battle report will tell me about the heavy snow in Xuzhou."

Zong Xin also agreed. It is not easy for a spy like this to enter Murong Yanchao's military camp. He must report some important and secret things to Guo Wei. There is no need to report things that are not secrets like the heavy snow in Xuzhou. Minimize the threats to which you may be exposed.

Song Yan was surprised and said: "Uncle, can you really control the wind and rain?"

"The technology is not good, but it's barely enough." Zong said: "Anyway, as long as there is no danger in Xuzhou for the time being, don't worry about how I did it. Chai Rong has already arrived in Xuzhou. There is not much difference between the two sides. One side defends the city and the other Murong Yanchao has no advantage in attacking the city. The next step is Weizhou, as long as we defend Weizhou well, when we see that we have a chance to win, there will be many people who follow the trend to come to reinforce us, and then everything will be fine."

"It's difficult~ But now things are almost discussed, what should I do next?" Song Yan didn't want to continue the discussion. After all, there are only more than 1 troops here, and it is really difficult to fight against a force that is several times larger. Zong Xin how to do.

Zong Dao: "I'm tired, let's rest first. Han Lingkun, train well and don't let these people retreat when they go to the battlefield. Just integrate the troops and make them a whole. Although the enemy army is strong, the city walls of Weizhou are towering. It will not be easy to capture.”

Guo Wei nodded and said, "Then..."

Just as he was talking, suddenly a messenger came to report.

"Report~~!"

"Come in and talk."

The messenger hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down on one knee in front of Guo Wei and said: "Report~ Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty has come to call for formation."

"Understood, close the city gate, no response for now."

"As ordered."

The messenger immediately returned to the front line to convey Guo Wei's imperial edict.

Guo Wei said: "Liu Chong dares to call for battle, isn't this kid afraid that we will kill him?"

"What is there to be afraid of? Even if your martial arts skills are superb, can you defeat thousands of troops?" Zong Xin said: "Aside from Yelu Zhen and Bu Xiangyang, who dares to take the rank of general among thousands of troops today? Even if It's a dead end if you go there. What's more, Liu Chong is not a fool. He must be surrounded by expert guards, otherwise he wouldn't be so courageous. How could he dare to show up easily, knowing that his two father-in-laws are guarding the city?"

"That's true." Guo Wei said: "Then what is the purpose of Liu Chong's visit this time? Knowing that we will not confront them head-on, the only option is to forcibly attack the city."

Zong Dao: "I guess I came here to play the emotional card with Princess Yongning. It's useless to guess here anyway. Go and see and you'll understand. This war can't be resolved with a few words, but it can be resolved with Liu Chong." Let's talk a few words."

"Okay, let's go."

The group immediately arrived at the gate of Weizhou City. Not far away, tens of thousands of troops had gathered. A little further forward, they were within the attack range of the archers, and Liu Chong did not dare to step forward easily.His martial arts was limited and he could not withstand so many feather arrows.

Seeing people coming up the city tower, Liu Chong immediately led a group of people forward and came to the bottom of the city tower. None of this group of people were wearing military uniforms, and judging from their condition, they were all martial arts masters.It is not easy to go directly to the city to take his head.

Liu Chong took a closer look at the people on the tower. What surprised him most was that Zong Xin was also here. Liu Chong was immediately shocked. Now he was in trouble.He knew best how capable Zong Xin was. If Zong Xin helped defend the city, it might not be easy to capture it.What's more, there are two top masters, Guo Wei and Song Yan, present, as well as the people around them, all of whom are well-known figures in the martial arts world. The martial arts of these people are so high that Liu Chongzhen is worried that they will go to the city and kill him.

Liu Chongdao: "Song Yan, you are a creepy guy. You are our man's consort. Why do you want to help Guo Wei defend the city? If you can find your way back, I will definitely be richly rewarded."

"Stop doing this with me. I keep suppressing Lao Tzu in Taiyuan. The original strength of the Song Clan is only so small now. Otherwise, you dare to provoke me?" Song Yan said angrily: "Old man, come and attack me if you have the ability City, I will let you know the strength of the Song Clan."

"No matter how big or small, I am your uncle. Yongning, you are my princess of Han Dynasty, why do you want to help others?"

"Marry a chicken and follow the chicken." Princess Yongning didn't explain too much, because this war is not something that can be resolved with a few words.

Liu Chong originally hoped to let them ignore this matter through his relationship with Yongning and Song Yan, but after seeing Zong Xin knew about it, he realized that he was planning all this.Knowing that Guo Wei did not have enough troops to resist, he deliberately dragged the Song family into trouble.The Song clan has no way out, he must help Guo Wei defend the city, and now it really depends on his strength.

Liu Chongdao: "Okay, okay, there is no way to leave in heaven, and there is no way to report to hell. Zong Xin, I didn't starve you to death last time. Let's see if you can escape this time."

Zong Xin smiled lightly and said, "You'd better surrender as soon as possible. Murong Yanchao has already been restrained by me. You will know what's going on when the battle report comes. It's fine if you don't collude with Khitan. Collusion like you A Khitan who betrays his compatriots, even if he seizes the world, will not be able to appease the anger of the people. You should think about it carefully, the people's will is the way to be a king."

"Winners and losers, you all wait for the widow. You will definitely attack the city within three days. When the time comes, people will be killed and corpses will be scattered all over the field. Don't blame the widow for not being sympathetic." Liu Chong left behind a sentence, and the troops followed him back.Everyone knows that this will be a tough battle, Liu Chong has also tried his best, and he must win.The reason why Liu Chong didn't attack the city yet was that he was waiting for the battle report from Xuzhou. As soon as the battle report arrived, he would know what to do.He must know how many soldiers Guo Wei sent to Xuzhou.

In fact, Liu Chong probably guessed Guo Wei's division of troops, and all the troops were reported to Xuzhou to contain Murong Yanchao, and then let the Song clan guard Weizhou.Fortunately, I am smart and have been suppressing the Song Clan for a long time. Now the Song Clan has only more than 1 soldiers, and Guo Wei has almost no soldiers. I will definitely win this battle.

For the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Song Clan, let them fight in the field and attack the Khitan troops. Let them defend the city?This quality is not lacking at all.Therefore, even if the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were to defend the city in Weizhou, they would not be of much use. The attackers had to make huge sacrifices to capture a city. However, as long as Weizhou was attacked, the other armies of the Zhou Dynasty could not be integrated immediately. Lu Jiedushi would all flatter him one after another, and when the time came, he would march straight into Yima Pingchuan. As long as Murong Yanchao could contain Guo Wei's large army, it would be easy to capture the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Liu Chong~~!" Zong Xin shouted, "Don't forget that your son is still in our hands."

"Hahahaha, I have more sons, so what's the point of dying?" Liu Chong didn't look back at all. He had long expected that Guo Wei or Zong Xin would make this move, but since his son fell into Guo Wei's hands, he didn't think about it. If he could come back alive, Liu Chong would have regarded him as a dead person.He has so many sons, it doesn’t matter how many of them die.The most important thing now is to restore the Han Dynasty and drive out Guo Wei.

After Guo Wei entered Kaifeng, he asked the Queen Mother to take the throne and decided to welcome Liu Zhiyuan's nephew Liu Yun, the military governor of Wuning, as emperor.Before Liu Yun arrived, Guo Wei wore a yellow robe and proclaimed himself emperor, and then returned to Kaifeng.Liu Zan was killed before he arrived in Kaifeng.

Zong Xin personally sent people to do this matter, but Guo Wei kept concealing it. Liu Chong didn't know that his son was already dead, and Zong Xin even threatened Liu Chong with a dead person... Even Guo Wei felt that Zong Xin was shameless after hearing this.

Of course, everyone expected Liu Chong's reaction.Knowing that his son's life or death in Guo Wei's hands was uncertain, Liu Chong still dared to launch an attack. He had already ignored Liu Zan's life and death. It didn't matter whether Liu Zan was alive or dead.
