    Chapter 822 The Fourth Emperor

    In early May, more than 400,000 Yanyun troops completed the encirclement of Mingzhou City.  Until this time, Wang Bao, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty in the city, did not seem to show any panic.  The defenders on the city wall were well prepared, but from the beginning Wang Pao gave up his plan to fight Yan Yun's army outside the city.

    Yan Yun's army did not put up any kind of formation to surround three and one missing. Mingzhou City was surrounded on all sides. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a bird flew out of the city, Yan Yun's army could shoot it into a ball if it wanted to.  Rotten meat.  But with Dou Jiande's management of Mingzhou for so many years, it is extremely difficult to break through this majestic city overnight.  It can be calculated that the strength of the Zhou army is no less than 200,000. Previously, hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops left Mingzhou, and the garrison in the city was still no less than 70,000 or 80,000.

    With this force, we can defend the city, and there will be no shortage of food and grass in the city.  Even among the generals in Yanyun's army, no one thought that this battle would go smoothly.

    "Since Wang Pao knew that Mingzhou could not be defended, it was only a matter of time, sooner or later, why didn't he escape? If he was planning on Boling Zhuo County as the previous intelligence said, he had a chance to leave before the army arrived. But  Now he has divided his troops and left most of them, but he stayed in the city. No matter how you put it it's a bit weird."

    Zhang Liang glanced at Li Xian and continued: "Unless it is as the Lord speculated."

    Xu Shiji nodded and said: "He used himself as bait to lure us here. The troops and horses that were sent out before were to deal with the Tiele people. After joining forces with the Tiele people, there are two possibilities. First, Zhou  The army has hundreds of thousands of troops, plus an unknown number of Tiele cavalry, but it will never be less than 100,000, coming back in a big circle to attack our army's rear. But such a long-distance attack is obviously not wise."

    "Secondly, this is what I'm worried about If the Zhou army joins the Tiele people's cavalry and is not in a hurry to return to rescue Mingzhou, then where will they go? I discussed it with my lord for a long time last night. If the Zhou army really doesn't return to rescue Mingzhou  , then we can only attack the place we must save. Chang'an is too far away, and the enemy cannot make such a big circle. If they really plan to attack Chang'an, we will have to go back before their troops arrive. Dongdu nor  It's very possible. So after thinking about it, maybe Wang Pao's plan is Dongping County"

    "Ju Ye Ze!"

    Zhang Liang let out a low cry, then frowned and said, "If we attack Juyeze, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it now that we have so few troops."

    "What are you afraid of?"

    Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "If Wang Bao really has this plan, then he is really an idiot."

    Everyone was stunned and looked at Changsun Wuji.

    Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Everyone knows that Dongping County is the foundation of the lord, but that was in the past. Now that the lord has made Chang'an his capital, and has the world, all the world is the foundation of the lord. Although Juyeze is important,  But it¡¯s no longer as indispensable as it used to be. If Wang Bao gets Ju Yeze¡¯s attention, I can only say that he is really an idiot.¡±

    Xu Shiji glanced at Li Xian and found that his lord's expression had not changed much.  He nodded and said: "What the auxiliary machine said actually makes sense. It is true that Juyeze was the foundation for my lord to send troops to all directions, but now when we really talk about the foundation, Chang'an City is it. And Juyeze is easy to defend.  It's difficult to attack. No matter how powerful the Tiele people's cavalry is, they can't swim across the water, let alone ride straight up the steep mountains. What I'm worried about is that the Zhou army and the Tiele people wantonly destroyed the various settlements that have been stabilized."

    ¡°If it¡¯s destroyed in one year, it won¡¯t be able to regain its vitality in three to five years.¡±

    Luo Shixin said: "If you put it this way, whether it is to attack Juyeze or destroy our farmland, no matter how fast the Tiele people's cavalry is, they will never be able to do it within a month or two. Then why does Wang Bao think that,  Can he hold Mingzhou for a month? If Wang Pao dies, the hundreds of thousands of horses he sent out will obey his orders. If Wang Pao dies, those hundreds of thousands of horses will become abandoned without a home. They will either become scattered or occupy the land.  The mountain is king!"

    "As for the Tiele people, the cavalry on the grasslands is indeed a bit scary. But in the hinterland of the Central Plains, can a single cavalry force really cause any big disaster? As long as all the soldiers and horses from all directions are mobilized to do it, even if  It¡¯s really a tiger. If it goes down the mountain and into the city, it will only end up being beaten to death with random sticks.¡±

    Hearing this, Li Xian interrupted for the first time: "I don't know if Jamuka is really arrogant, or if someone around him came up with this stupid idea for him. It's spring, if he goes back to his hometown to recuperate for a while, it won't take long for him to be able to  He competed with the Turks for dominance over the grasslands. But he just went south alone with his troops who had been fighting fiercely. Whether he was arrogant or confidentit was too rash."

    "yes¡­¡­"

    Changsun Wuji said: "I am also wondering whether Jamukha's brain was burned out by the splendid mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, so why did he do such an idiotic thing? If someone persuaded him to go south, did that person help him or not?  It¡¯s still unknown what harm he will do.¡±

    "Ha ha"

      Everyone laughed.

    "In any case, since we have arrived here, we must capture Mingzhou first. Li Daozong's 100,000 troops have already opened a line to listen for news, so Xue Wanche keeps an eye on the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops who left Mingzhou. If possible, let Xue Wanche  He and Li Daozong pinched the Zhou army from the west to the east. As for the Tiele people If they really want to take Dongping County directly, let Jamuhe have a long memory and let him know that the Central Plains is not a grassland. It is best  He¡¯s walking down the waterway along the river!¡±

    Everyone laughed again.

    Xiong Kuohai smiled and said: "If we really took the waterway, then we really don't have anything to worry about."

    Luo Shixin said: "If there is really someone beside Jamuka who can make suggestions, I'm afraid he is also a military advisor with two swords. He doesn't understand the current situation in the Central Plains at all. He may have read a few military books and wants to come up with some tricks to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. Prairie people  Reading the military books of the Han people is actually a bit worrying. But if the grassland people read a few military books and think they can open and close the Central Plains, then there is nothing to worry about."

    "if¡­¡­"

    Li Xian smiled: "If there really is a military advisor beside Jamuka, I really want to know who this person is."

    Mingzhou City

    Wanchun-gong

    Wang Pao, wearing a black embroidered dragon emperor costume, walked slowly in the imperial garden. He walked very slowly and looked very carefully. Even if he saw an unknown wild flower blooming on the roadside, he would  Stop and stay for a while.  It is the flower blooming season, and many flowers in the garden have already bloomed. The grass is green and the flowers are red. It is a pleasant sight to see.

    "Speaking of which, this is my first time walking in this garden."

    Wang Roo looked at a golden wild flower at his feet and smiled and said: "Since entering Mingzhou City, I have barely walked around in the imperial study. I don't know how big Mingzhou City is. Just.  I don¡¯t even know how big the Wanchun Palace is. I don¡¯t even know how big this imperial garden is.¡±

    Pei Ju, who was following him, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things every day, and it's really too hard. It's spring, so you should walk more."

    Wang Roo stretched out and suddenly trampled the wild flower on the roadside with his foot: "The more comfortable and pleasing things are, the more they will destroy people. When I first took charge of the government, I had no time to hang around.  Flowers? Singing, silk and bamboo make people addicted, and wine and beauty make people addicted. How can the scenery in this garden not make people addicted? If I walk more and see more because I like this scenery, then sooner or later the government will be  To be desolate.¡±

    "Yang Guang also likes to see the scenery, right?"

    he asks.

    Pei Ju's heart tightened, and he nodded and said truthfully: "Yang Guang really likes to travel, and he likes the scenery north and south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is the ice and snow scenery of the North, or the red flowers and green willows of the Yangtze River, he falls in love with every place he goes. My favorite  The place is Jiangdu. In fact, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he already knew that there was no way to save the world. He once told a minister I failed to hold on to the foundation left by the late emperor, but as long as I remain the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, I cannot surrender.  , this is something I cannot choose. What I can choose is where to die. Jiangdu has the most beautiful scenery in the world, and I love it here, so I will stay here."

    "fart!"

    Wang Roo couldn't help but cursed after hearing this: "The most useless thing in the world is this! I once heard that Yang Guang was ambitious when he was young. How come he became more and more weak and incompetent when he became emperor? Although he conquered Goguryeo three times,  It's not a shameful thing to say, but I still admire him for having such courage. But after that, Yang Guang was useless and died in Jiangdu It was just what he said to protect his own face. There was no way to escape, and he was in panic.  Dogs that get into the river don't do anything but come out."

    "That's what your Majesty said."

    Pei Ju nodded in response.

    "How does my current situation compare with when Yang Guang was trapped in Jiangdu?"

    Wang Bao asked.

    Pei Ju thought for a while and said, "Yuan Qiang and Yang Guang."

    "Pei Ju, you just can't change your flattering temperament. To be honest Where do I have a country? It's just a city in Mingzhou, and outside the city is Li Xian's hundreds of thousands of troops! Compared to when I was trapped in Jiangdu,  Yang Guanglai is even worse. You can actually say something far stronger than him. It's ridiculous However, Yang Guang is disheartened, but my heart is not cold! In this regard, I am indeed far stronger than him. "

    "Do you know why I had to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk when the capital was besieged by Thief Li's troops?"

    Wang Bao asked.

    Pei Ju lowered his head and said, "I am too stupid to figure out the holy will."

    "Are you stupid? If you are stupid there will be few smart people in this world. II walked around this garden just to show the people below that I am not worried or afraid.  The soldiers are approaching, but I still have time to enjoy the flowers. The people below will feel calmer if they know this.  Nowadays, foreign enemies are not to be feared, but internal strife is not to be feared.  "

    "The hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city are not scary. What's scary is that the people in the city are afraid."

    Wang Roo glanced at the wild flower that he had trampled to pieces, smiled and said: "Since I ascended the throne at this time of crisis, I will naturally not give up my hard-earned position. As long as I can hold Mingzhou for a month  , I don¡¯t believe that Li Xian will not retreat. As long as he retreats, he will leave the city to pursue him. This is the only chance to reverse the situation in the world. I have put all my wealth and life on the hundreds of thousands of horses outside the city. Of course, there are still  There are those prairie barbarians.¡±

    "The prairie barbarians I'm afraid I can't believe it."

    Pei Ju reminded in a low voice.

    "I have never trusted them. Jamuka is an idiot! He cooperates with such an idiot just because he has 200,000 cavalry in his hands. He thinks that it is extremely easy to get the world in the Central Plains, so let him know how powerful the country in the Central Plains is.  It's difficult to fight. Let him go to the places where Li Xian is based, Dongping, Qijun, and Lujun. If he is killed by the grassland barbarians, how can Li Xian sit still? By then, his troops will fight with Jamuka's troops.  A lose-lose situation, if Jamuka dies and his strength is greatly reduced, I will have the opportunity to gradually conquer the world."

    "This is a long-term plan, not a temporary thing. But I don't have anything to worry aboutbecause I'm still young, very young."

    "The counties north and south of the Yellow River are places that Li Xian has to defend. Even if Jamuka is just a locust passing through the border instead of occupying the city, Li Xian cannot hold it. Why? Because he is now the most powerful one in the Central Plains. He has the world in his sights.  If the world belongs to him, then he has to bear the responsibility for everything that happens in the world. I am different. I only have one city, so I just need to take care of Mingzhou. As for the suffering of the people in the world, it has nothing to do with me now. "

    "When Jamuka dies and Li Xian is defeated, the world belongs to me. I will just go back to raising the people well."

    "Pei Ju, do you think it's feasible?"

    Pei Ju nodded and praised sincerely: "Your Majesty is truly a talented person!"

    "But I'm afraid."

    Wang Roo smiled and said: "I pretend not to be afraid, but in fact I am still afraid. But what I am afraid of is not the powerful enemies outside, but the people in the city."

    "There are all your Majesty's loyal subjects in the city. Who is your Majesty afraid of?"

    Pei Ju asked cautiously.

    "I'm afraid of you."

    Wang Bao smiled and said gently: "I am really afraid of you Yang Guang, Yu Wenji, Dou Jiande you have served three emperors to death, and you really don't dare to be the fourth."
