Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 341 The most inconspicuous and deadly
"Throughout the ages, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Your Majesty allows the thieves to plunder the people and go away today. There is no future for me, a big man!"

Guo Wuwei's words came from the bottom of his heart.

This is also his most sincere thought, the reason why he is determined to submit to Luo Youdu.

Guo Wuwei is not a comfortable Taoist priest, and he is not a Taoist priest because of his beliefs, but to give himself a mysterious brilliance.

After all, throughout the ages, many reclusive masters, most of them have the status of Buddhism and Taoism, and they are easy to be looked up to.

With the blessing of fame, all actions will go smoothly, you don't need to look at low-level generals, if you can get the favor of the master, you will be able to protect yourself from being bullied by the martial arts.

Guo Wuwei had accumulated a lot of fame in Wudang Mountain for ten years, and he went down the mountain confidently to join the Ming Lord.

He didn't know that Guo Wei didn't dare to accept him because of his great reputation, and he didn't like Li Jing and Meng Chang, so he had to live in seclusion again and wait for the opportunity to become an official.

Guo Wuwei has always been a person who pursues fame and fortune. He doesn't care whether the country is big or small, but only cares about whether there is room for his own development.

He hit it off with Liu Chengjun and came to the Northern Han Dynasty. Guo Wuwei saw that the officialdom of the Northern Han Dynasty was exhausted, and he relied too much on Khitan for every word and deed, and had no independent power.

Guo Wuwei's drastic reforms have greatly improved politics, people's livelihood and military equipment.

In particular, Guo Wuwei made outstanding contributions to the governance of banditry in Hedong.

Guo Wuwei was also quite complacent, secretly resenting that Guo Wei looked down upon others back then, if he had reused himself, he might not be cut off from his bloodline, and an adopted son would inherit the seat.Although the adopted son did a good job.

Luo Youdu's relocation of the people today has already made Guo Wuwei lose all the space to display his talents.

So what if Liu Chengjun takes it seriously?
With only a hundred thousand people, what else can they do?
If ordinary people just muddle along, Guo Wuwei is not reconciled, he is conceited that he has the ability to save the world and the people, and he is unwilling to continue to accompany Liu Chengjun to wait for death and waste his life.

Liu Chengjun looked at Guo Wuwei who was already crying, his eyes were slightly red, thinking of the two people supporting each other all these years, he stepped forward to help him up, and said: "Guo Xianggong, get up and speak. How can I not know what you say from the bottom of your heart? There is a huge disparity in strength. Mo Ke helpless ah."

The more Liu Chengjun lacked the courage to fight, the more determined Guo Wuwei was.

There are only two paths that are best for the current situation:
Or drop it directly to keep a rich man.

If you don't fight resolutely, you will lose a hundred times, at least you can still be vigorous and leave a good reputation in the history.

If you win, it will be like the Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms, the fat water of the Eastern Jin Dynasty...

The name goes down in history, and it goes straight to the sky...

Fear of hands and feet, passing by, not going up, not going down, dying without fighting.

Guo Wuwei is unacceptable to this kind of lying down.

Guo Wuwei said: "Your Majesty, I have two strategies to deal with."

Liu Chengjun had the heart to lie down, but seeing that his prime minister was still working hard for him, he couldn't bear it, and said: "Guo Xianggong, but it's okay to say!"

Guo Wuwei said: "The thieves are now divided into four places. One is stationed in Yanmen Pass, one is in Xinzhou, the other is in Daizhou, and there is a large army gathered in the south of the city. Among them, Cao Bin's department at Yanmen Pass is the strongest in order to guard against the Khitan army. They are in danger. As for Shou, we must not touch the edge. But Xinzhou and Daizhou have not many soldiers and horses. They have to protect the people and evacuate, and they have to separate the soldiers and horses to maintain order."

"We are fully capable of defeating these two armies and rescuing the people of the two prefectures. There are many mountains and ravines in Shanxi, and it is absolutely too late for Cao Bin's department to support them."

"In short, as long as they dare to relocate our people, we will use different methods to harass and stop them. We have a geographical advantage, so why fear them? Even if we fail to win, they will be unable to relocate our people and protect the people of our two states."

Liu Chengjun was quite moved when he heard the words, and asked, "What is the second strategy?"

Guo Wuwei said: "My subordinates saw that Lu Duoxun was clearly a seventh-rank official, but he looked at no one in his eyes and didn't pay attention to me at all. It shows that the results achieved in the past twenty days have already made the Central Plains proud. Your Majesty You can send envoys into the bandit camp to pretend to surrender, such as the accidents in Jiangnan and Bashu, to arrogate the enemy. Then attack and kill at night, and the opponent's soldiers and horses are scattered everywhere. Compared with our army, the soldiers outside the southern city of Jinyang do not have an advantage. As long as The three armed forces are brave and everyone is working hard, and there is still a great hope of victory."

"Your Majesty, my big man has reached the point of life and death. If we don't do anything, we will only become the laughingstock of the world. If we can protect the people of Xin and Dai Erzhou, there is still a chance to breathe. But if we can take the opportunity to defeat the bandit army, my big man will still But it’s a shame to take back the land of the east of the river.”

Liu Chengjun looked at the other people in the hall and heard their opinions.

All the military generals were silent.

Liu Jiye was a general of the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Chengjun pushed him out, and no one else dared to fight easily.

After all, the opponent was Luo Youdu, who made Khitan even deflated.

Guo Wuwei said angrily: "It's a matter of being loyal to the king. If you generals dare not fight, let the poor do it for you."

He sneered at the generals, and begged for orders to fight with righteous words.

Li Cungui and Zhao Wendu blushed.

Li Cungui said angrily: "Mr. Guo, don't underestimate others. Why should you be afraid of a fight? I'm just thinking about which plan is better."

There is almost no need to discuss this matter, Liu Chengjun is absolutely unwilling to go all out to fight Luo Youdu.

He relied too much on Khitan's military strength, which led to his extreme lack of confidence in his country's military level.Compared with defeating the Central Plains on the frontal battlefield, he believed that they would stick to Jinyang City and Khitan sent troops to defeat the Central Plains. This was a tried and tested strategy of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Now that Guo Wuwei is asking for a fight like this, Li Cungui and Zhao Wendu also have the intention to fight.

Liu Chengjun couldn't continue to avoid the war, so he chose Guo Wuwei's first strategy without a doubt: send troops to attack Guo Jin and Cao Han's troops, and use the terrain of the Shanxi Basin to take advantage of the terrain of the Shanxi Basin to command the people of Baoxin and Daizhou, respectively, led by Li Cungui and Zhao Wendu. Thousands of soldiers attacked from the north gate at night.

As for Jinyang City, it has always maintained an establishment of around [-].

The [-] soldiers Liu Chengjun dared not move no matter what.

That night, Li Cungui and Zhao Wendu led the troops out of the city.

How could the mobilization of [-] soldiers and horses be hidden from Liu Jiye.

With bitterness in his mouth, Liu Jiye yelled, "Bring the wine!"

He was drinking alone, and he had also heard about Guo Wuwei's two schemes.

There is no problem, what can be done in the current dead end.

It's just that if he was present, he would definitely support the second strategy.

The people of Baoxin and Dai Erzhou are just a drop in the bucket, they can only make the situation slightly better, but the ending is still the same.

Only the second strategy is the real once and for all.

The next day, night.

Hou Barong strolled to the north gate of Jinyang East City.

As a fortress in the east of the river, Jinyang City is known as controlling the mountains and rivers, standing on the shoulders of the world, with three cities inside and three cities outside, interlocking.

In addition to being breathtaking, the most intuitive thing is the issue of class.

Dongcheng is where the common people live, and Zhongcheng is located around Fenshui, where shops gather.Xicheng is the state city, where the families of ordinary soldiers, merchants, and well-off families live.Xincheng is a place where officials and gentry live in groups, and the government office is also here.

As for Daming City and Cangcheng, it is easy to understand.

One is the Imperial Palace of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the other is the place where grain is stored.

Jinyang East City is far less heavily guarded than the other five cities because ordinary people live there.

The soldiers are also low-level soldiers in Li Yun's mouth, and their combat effectiveness is extremely poor.

In the middle of the night, the patrolling soldiers leaned on the tower and chatted.

When Luo Youdu came to the city for the first time, they were nervous for a while.

But as the days passed, Luo Youdu didn't have any offensive posture at all, and he relaxed, doing what he should do.

When a few middle-aged soldiers gathered together, they couldn't help but be full of flamboyance.

Their salaries are pitifully low, only enough for food and clothing, and they have no money to spend and drink, so they talk about which family's widow is charming and which family's girl is juicy.Where it rises, it makes a strange "hehehe" smile.

One person suddenly saw Hou Barong, straightened his expression, and called out, "Commander Hou!"

The faces of the others also changed, and they stopped talking.

Hou Barong said with a friendly face: "It's okay, you continue to chat, don't worry about me. Marshal Li smashed Guo Jinbu today and beheaded more than [-] people. He is going back to the city overnight. I want to have a few drinks with him and congratulate him on his triumphant return."

How many people dare to say it again.

One cleverly ran to the classroom and moved a Mazha to Hou Barong, and said happily, "That's great, it seems that the Central Plains is not so scary! The commander left the city last night, and he will triumph tonight."

Hou Barong patted his chest and said: "I said it earlier, the group of nobles in the Central Plains who eat and drink well, have suffered as much as we have. If we really fight, they are not enough for me to kill alone."

While he was talking, he suddenly looked forward and said, "It seems to be here!"

Looking from a distance, there is indeed a group of soldiers coming from a distance in the dark night, but it is so dark that they cannot be seen clearly.

This came closer, and it was indeed their armored banners.

"Ha, it's Zhao Kuina, alas, if I hadn't had a stomachache, who would have gotten him to make such a contribution, Kaicheng! Kaicheng!"

Hou Barong greeted the other party loudly, and ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome him.

This Hou Barong is naturally Guo Wuwei's man.

The person who came was not Li Cungui, but Shu Yuan in disguise.

It is learned that Shu Yuan has occupied the Dongcheng Tower.

Luo Youdu immediately arranged for Han Lingkun and Li Shoujie to help Shu Yuan seize the East City.

With this order, Luo Youdu instantly felt refreshed, and the Northern Han Dynasty was about to become history.

"There is still something about this Guo Wuwei."

Luo Youdu said to Song Qi and Lu Duoxun beside him.

Song Qi didn't understand the situation and was a little at a loss.

Lu Duoxun visited Jinyang City himself, and after careful consideration, everything became clear, and he said: "The most neglected ones are often the deadliest."

Because the [-] poorest people live in the east city of Jinyang.

Under Guo Wuwei's design, these fifty thousand people had no time to escape into Zhongcheng.

In today's Northern Han Dynasty, without the most humble common people and the most common labor force, what is left?
Guo Wuwei didn't have the ability to let the Central Plains army break through the six cities of Jinyang in one go, and he couldn't even send the three cities.

Because it was the residence of dignitaries and nobles, and the guards were the strictest.

But it is the most inconspicuous Dongcheng, but at this moment, it is the general.
