Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, sent out all his troops, surrounded Luoyang City, and attacked Luoyang for two days. However, first of all, the morale in the city is acceptable, and secondly, Luoyang City has complete defense facilities, so it is impossible to make achievements in a hurry.

The face of the eunuch sent by the capital to deliver the order became more and more ugly, and his words became more and more unpleasant. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, also became increasingly anxious.

The Luoyang City Gate was indeed as he expected, similar to the Ziwei Star Castle. Under fire from both sides of the city gate, once the officers and soldiers rush forward, they will suffer heavy losses.

Although the Hongyi artillery and the general's artillery fired fiercely, they fired continuously for two days, smashing the bricks on the surface of the enemy platform at the city gate and even filling it with dense shells, but it was still of no avail.

Just at this time, Cao Wenzhao's letter arrived again, and he continued to bargain with him. Hong Chengchou couldn't help but think about taking advantage of Cao Wenzhao.

He thought to himself: Now the thieves are hiding in the city and cannot come out. Although it is not the right way to fight, they cannot attack in a hurry. If he had not taken advantage of this thief, he would have saved himself a lot of trouble.

So, Hong Chengchou wrote a letter with a stroke of his pen and ordered it to be delivered to the city in time.

Not long after, Cao Wenzhao got the letter and did not dare to act alone. He quickly took it to see Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun reached out to take it and took a look, only to see that the paint on the letter was still there and had not been opened.

He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and while asking Cao Wenzhao to sit down, he opened it since ancient times and browsed it hastily.

I saw it said, "If General Cao can open the door to welcome the king's army, I would not mind asking for your order. I will report to the court, claiming that General Cao was under my order and deliberately surrendered the thieves to find out the truth. Not only is there no fault , but it has merit."

Zhang Shun thought for a while, couldn't help but smile, and wrote: "The general will guard Lijing Gate tomorrow!"

Cao Wenzhao also smiled and couldn't help but say: "Wen Zhao will definitely fulfill his mission and make that old thief Hong look good!"

Early the next morning, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, indeed received a reply from Cao Wenzhao, and he couldn't help but proudly took it out to show his influence.

The eunuch who delivered the order looked at it carefully and couldn't help but said with great joy: "Congratulations to the supervisor, congratulations to the supervisor, you must have accomplished this!"

Hong Chengchou laughed when he heard this and asked: "Where does the joy come from? Where does the congratulation come from?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this and said: "Xi came from Cao Wenzhao, and He also came from Cao Wenzhao. But when the thieves open the Lijing Gate on the west, our army will rush in, and they will definitely be able to eradicate the weeds and slaughter them all." !”

"Hahaha!" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He laughed for a long time and burst into tears. Then he cursed, "Stupid! Don't you understand such a small trick?"

"What kind of person is Cao Wenzhao? As the chief military officer of Lintao, he was entrusted by the Holy Emperor with the responsibility of governor and generals. This is an honor that military commanders have not had in many years since the governor took charge of the army. As a result, he was ineffective in suppressing the bandits and followed the thieves out of fear of crime. Everyone in the imperial court is eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin."

"Then Cao Wenzhao is not a three-year-old child, so he doesn't know his situation? What is the value of my governor's few words and promises?"

"Then this..." The generals couldn't help but be shocked.

"It must be just to trick us into entering the city and besieging it!" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, responded confidently, "In that case, I will do the opposite and defeat this city in one fell swoop!"

Everyone quickly asked him about his strategy. Hong Chengchou was afraid that the secret would be leaked, so he pretended to be profound and said: "Let's not mention this matter for now. Everything will be clear by then!"

Everyone was bored and had no choice but to act as ordered and not ask any more questions.

That night, at the second watch, the officers and soldiers were cooking in pots, and at the third watch, they gathered up the entire army, with the titles of Mei and Ma Lekou, and marched toward Luoyang City.

Everyone finally reached the entrance of Lijing Gate, the west gate of Luoyang City, and ordered people to call like a turtledove three times as agreed.

After a while, the Lijing Gate opened wide. The officers and soldiers swarmed in with loud killing sounds, and when they rushed into the city, they suddenly found another city gate in front of them.

When the officers and soldiers were about to turn around, they heard a loud noise, and the thousand-jin gate on Lijing Gate suddenly fell. The officers and soldiers who invaded Luoyang City suddenly became turtles in the urn.

Immediately, flags were fluttering on the Lijingmen Gate Tower, ambushes were everywhere, and there were bright fires. Cao Wenzhao was wearing black iron armor, and Shi Shiran appeared on the tower and said with a smile: "Where is Hong Chengchou? Today will be your death anniversary next year, do you know?"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and responded loudly: "What a trivial skill, it's nothing! Wenzhao's son, a reckless man, shouldn't be ashamed to compete with me in a battle of wits?"

"I had known that you were sincere thieves and would not surrender. Therefore, I pretended to make an appointment with you, but in reality I was making false promises to the east and attacking the west. Oh, no, it should have been to make false promises to the west and attack the east."

"Now that an army of thieves has gathered here, don't you know that if you prepare for the left, you will be weak on the right, and if you prepare for the right, you will be weak on the left? Since Lijing Gate is indestructible, it was specially designed for me. Why don't I do the opposite? Are you going to attack the east gate and build the spring gate?"

"You, the traitors, have few troops with me, but now we have deployed other city gate guards. Presumably, the east gate has been broken by this time. If Cao Wenzhao does not surrender now, when will we wait? If you are willing to surrender, We can still keep a whole body, otherwise the city will be destroyed and you will die without a place to bury you!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he couldn't help but said happily: "Director Hong, you are so scheming and sophisticated. Don't you think of a problem?"

"Luoyang City has been on the defensive for a long time and has never taken the initiative to attack. Why did it take action today? Since you know that I will not surrender, I also know that I will not surrender. Since the rebel army is in danger, I have deceived you again. What can we do with thousands of soldiers and eight hundred men and horses?"

Hong Chengchou, who was still confident at first, couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and quickly argued: "Ants can still survive, let alone humans? Now the officers and soldiers are like Mount Tai, so it is natural for you to struggle to the death!"

"Hahahaha!" Cao Wenzhao couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "I only thought Governor Hong was a smart man, but I never thought he was also a very ignorant person!"

"Don't you hear the Art of War saying: He who waits for hunger with fullness wins, and he who waits for fatigue with ease wins! We have defended until now, not because we are afraid of you, but in fact we are just tiring our troops and our divisions. When your divisions and veterans are tired, we will go out again The army will destroy it!"

Hong Chengchou frowned when he heard this, feeling that he still had a seven to eight chance of winning, so he couldn't help but smile: "The traitor is dead, and you have no leader. How dare you lie to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of fighting was heard. Hong Chengchou turned his head and looked north, only to see a "fire dragon" winding from north to south. It's like opening a huge mouth to swallow him up.

This "Fire Dragon" was none other than the rebel army coming out of Beiwangxi Gate. Judging from the blazing flags, it seemed that there might be 30,000 to 40,000 men trying to cut off the soldiers' retreat from the west gate to the camp.

Hong Chengchou was shocked when he heard Cao Wenzhao saying with a proud smile on the city wall: "King Shun is destined to live. Even though he suffered this disaster, he will live for three days. Now there are dragons and tigers in full swing, trying to catch you all in one fell swoop!"

Hong Chengchou's liver and gallbladder suddenly burst into tears, and he couldn't help shouting: "The whole army retreats!"
