127. How to enter the city

Liu Penzi's mind was like their elder brother Liu Gong. He was a very square young man. Maybe he was a little too square, and sometimes he seemed a little stubborn.

The relationship between the three brothers has always been good. Liu Gong takes good care of his two younger brothers. The younger brother respects his elder brother very much, and can be said to be a brother-in-law. However, two years ago, Liu Gong followed Fan Chong to Luoyang and was left by Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan. He did not return to the army, and the three brothers were separated.

Liu Xuan and Liu Gong were in love with the king and his ministers. Even though Liu Gong's younger brother Liu Penzi ascended the throne and was hostile to the Gengshi regime, Liu Xuan did not take his anger on Liu Gong and still trusted him very much.

His trust received extraordinary rewards. After the city of Chang'an was broken, Liu Xuan fled, and among the only few followers were Liu Gong. After the king and his minister surrendered to the Red Eyebrow Army, Liu Gong became the protector of Emperor Gengshi. After he was killed, he avenged him and assassinated the murderer Xie Lu, who killed him, which was a model of only rewarding his passion for his confidant.

Liu Penzi had known the script for a long time, so naturally he didn't have to worry about Liu Gong. He comforted Liu Mao and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I have received the exact news. Brother is safe and sound. Liu Xuan trusts him very much and has no intention of harming him at all."

"There is nothing happening now, not anything else in the future. Basin, I have to think of a way to make my eldest brother feel good!"

Liu Penzi said: "Don't worry, I've made all arrangements. When the city is broken, it will be the time for our brothers to reunite."

For some reason, Liu Mao is now a little confused about his younger brother. Originally, Liu Mao was his younger brother's protector in the cow stable. Since Liu Benzi fell down from the hillside and woke up, the relationship between the two brothers has turned upside down, and the younger brother has become the brother's support.

When Liu Penzi said this, Liu Mao felt relieved.

After the two brothers had dinner, Liu Penzi sent someone to invite the leaders to discuss matters. After a while, Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, Yang Yin and Wang Kuang came.

Wang Kuang is a veteran of the Green Forest Army and was named "Biyang King". He has a huge influence and appeal in the Gengshi regime. He looks very ordinary, has a low figure, and has gained a little weight. When he saw the little emperor, he quickly kneels down and bows, and his etiquette is very thoughtful.

Liu Penzi personally stepped forward and helped Wang Kuang up, held his hand and asked about his well-being. He was very intimate in his conversation.

Wang Kuang lowered his head and thanked him repeatedly, with some panic that seemed to be flattered. "Your Majesty," he said: "I should have crossed the river to pay homage to Your Majesty, but the military affairs are complicated and I can't get rid of it. I hope Your Majesty will not be surprised."

"The state affairs are the most important. King Yang is working hard for state affairs. If only contributions are made, how can there be any sin?" Liu Penzi smiled and said, "We are all a family, and we don't talk about those false rituals!"

"The boys in the army always cause trouble. I and the King of Huaiyang dare not leave. I heard that the emperor is coming, both of me want to come to see you immediately, but I have to keep someone in the army to suppress those guys, right?" Wang Kuang smiled and said, "I am here first. The King of Huaiyang has also gotten angry because he cannot see His Majesty's beauty as soon as possible."

It was obviously because they were afraid of being taken down, so the two of them did not dare to come at the same time, leaving one person in the army, which made Liu Penzi feel worried, but he said that he was very helpless.

Liu Penzi naturally didn't believe a word about this, but he still patted his shoulder affectionately and said, "I have been admiring both King Yang and King Huaiyang for a long time. Unfortunately, I only met today. King Huaiyang? I have time to meet in the future, so I don't have to hurry up."

.He turned to everyone and said, "We are all brothers in the future, and you will be close to the Two Kings."

Everyone agreed repeatedly, and Xu Xuan said: "Your Majesty, the Censor and the Zuo Dasima took people to the city to inspect the military information early in the morning. I have sent someone to invite him."

"Let's chat and wait, I have a lot to say to King Biyang."

Liu Penzi kept talking to Wang Kuang, asking around, and chatting for half an hour from whom there was talk about the recent situation in Chang'an City. Fan Chong and others never came.

At this time someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the Censor and the Left Grand Sima are attacking the Dongdu Gate!"

Liu Penzi's heart sank. Fan Chong has indeed been the boss for a long time and is not used to asking for instructions and reports. He just said a few days ago that the emperor's order is to follow, and today he took the initiative to attack the city. It seems that these big guys still lack training. In the future, I will let them know what obedience means.

He thought so in his heart, but there was no displeasure on his face. He just smiled and said, "The Censor is a loyal and brave man, and he is eager to share my worries. Since that is the case, we cannot just wait for his good news. Second brother, you take Yingyang Camp and plunder the formation for the Censor. You must not make it a mistake."

He turned to Wang Kuang and said, "King Biyang, do you know the thinness of the city. How should you attack Chang'an City be based on your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, the pseudo-emperor is trapped in the city, people's hearts are floating, and there are no reinforcements outside. With our army's power, Chang'an City can go down in one go!"

"As you said, the Censor will be able to enter the city today!"

"This," Wang Kuang smiled awkwardly, "There are still 100,000 troops in the city, and our army must come out together to attack the city. I am willing to drive forward the army and capture the city for Your Majesty!"

The emperor turned to Xu Xuan, "What do you think of the Prime Minister?"

"Your Majesty, I think Chang'an City must be descended only in the morning and evening. The attack on the city cannot be accomplished overnight, but must be calm. The Censor and the Censor are just testing the virtual and real in the city today, so as to find a complete solution, and then make a reason after he returns."

Xu Xuan refused to express his opinion easily. The five leaders of the world have always been united, almost as if they were five in one. This also wiped Fan Chong's butt. The boss just went to hit His Majesty with a front stand and saw how the city was attacking.

The little emperor said: "I am so happy to see King Biyang today. I must have a good drink. Shiyuan, go and arrange a banquet to welcome King Biyang and celebrate the merits of the Censor!"

As soon as the banquet was put on, Fan Chong and Rong An came back. The two of them were in a state of dust and did not return to their camp. They took off their armor and came to have dinner. There was still blood on their sleeves.

While tearing the flesh on his mouth hard, Fan Chong said, "This city wall is really not something that humans can climb, it's that high!"

"Did these beasts actually pour boiling oil into the city and use their brothers as roasted pigs?" Rong An said angrily: "When the city is broken, I will definitely slaughter them all to avenge their brothers!"

The little emperor glanced at Wang Kuang and saw that he was not squinting and staring at the food on the table. He seemed to have no hearing about Yang An's words. But he knew that the more he was indifferent, the more he listened to the words.

Luo You said: "The Grand Sima was joking! Your Majesty ruled the world with kindness and could not bear to see the people suffering from hunger, so he did not hesitate to use military rations to help. He had just promulgated a new military law, which strictly prohibited killing, hurting, robbing at will. How could he slaughter the city at will?"

"Rende? Can be benevolent? Can be benevolent? Can be benevolent? Your Majesty wants to enter the city and benevolent. I think it is impossible. If you don't kill a mountain of corpses and blood, how can you enter Chang'an City?" Rong An sneered and pointed at Luo You and said, "You scholars only talk about benevolent. When it comes to killing enemies, attacking cities and camps, you are so scared that you don't know where to hide. Don't you want a warrior like us?"

This was quite rude. Not only did he point at Luo You's nose and reprimand him, he was simply provoking the emperor in person. Liu Biao was the first to stop doing it. He stood up and touched his waist with his hands, but forgot that the weapon had been taken away.

The emperor said: "Captain Yueqi, have you drunk too much? Drink less and sit down!"

Liu Biao sat down angrily and stared at Rong An fiercely. Rong An didn't care and even grinned, "This kid has a tiger spirit, not like Old Liu's nephew at all."

The emperor said: "Bing'an, if you wait for the martial artist to attack the city, how many days will you be able to conquer Chang'an City?"

He did not call him the official name of Yong'an or his name, but called him the name directly. It is of course normal in the court, but it is a bit rare in this banquet occasion.

When Xu Xuan heard this, he knew that the emperor was angry, so he quickly pulled Rong An's sleeve and whispered: "Your Majesty asks, you must answer carefully, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Xuan is his brother and boss, reminding him not to talk nonsense, but he is kind-hearted, but Gong An doesn't appreciate it. He is still angry about being forced to be loyal to the emperor last time, and is unfair to his boss Fan Chong, and always wants to find opportunities to wipe out the emperor's face.

He said: "If the Censor led the entire army to attack the city, it would take about one month... at most two months, you will be able to break through Chang'an City!"

He said this a bit big. If such a strong city is complete and sufficient military equipment and food is sufficient, it is possible to guard it for the past year, and there is no shortage of these two things in Chang'an City.

Yong'an said again: "But with your majesty, you must not need to use weapons, just be kindness!"

After saying that, he laughed loudly, and the tent was silent for a moment. Some of the generals looked at the emperor and didn't say anything, while others lowered their heads and smiled secretly.

Wang Kuang poked the meat on the plate with chopsticks, tossing and turning. Xu Xuan secretly grabbed Bing'an's hand and looked at the emperor nervously, for fear that his young man would be full of energy, so he turned his back in anger and fought on the spot.

Luo You's words broke the silence, "What the Grand Sima said is wrong..."

Before his mouth cannon mode was turned on, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter. The little emperor laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, which made the generals in the tent even more surprised.

The emperor pointed at Yong An and said, "You are right. I am just trying to use benevolence and virtue to support Chang'an so that the people can live and work in peace. The method of martial artists breaking the city has been too long, and I can't wait for a month or two. I will use the method of benevolence and virtue to break the city. If you don't leave six days, you will enter Chang'an!"

This sentence was even more amazing. Even Luo You, Yang Yanshou and others were shocked and kept complaining in their hearts. The emperor was still too young and could not bear it. How could he say such words casually? If he couldn't do it in the future, where would the emperor give face?

Yang Yanshou helped the emperor's arm and said, "Your Majesty, you have never drunk so much wine..."

He wanted the emperor to do something and covered up his words with wine. Unexpectedly, the little emperor pushed his hand away and said, "The wine is too low, and it's hard to get drunk. In the future, the money will be as high as this guy."

Even if you are as smart as Yang Yanshou, you will not be able to do this. Yongan laughed and said, "Then I will wait and see how your Majesty's kindness conquers Chang'an within six days!"

The emperor said, "Censor, you have been fighting for the sake of state affairs for many years. The horse is not saddled. You are only forty years old and have white hair on your head. How can I bear to see you working so hard? Just rest in the camp for a few days, and leave it to me. When I take Chang'an, I will drink with the Censor, the Prime Minister, the King of Biyang, and the Lord of Weiyang in the Weiyang Palace!"

He drank all the wine in the bowl and everyone followed suit.

The emperor suddenly put the bowl in his hand on the table, making a crisp sound, and the wine bowl was broken in half.
