As Guo Wei's army approached, Liu Chengyou handed over all the military power to Murong Yanchao. That day, Murong Yanchao was having a meal, received the edict, put down the soup spoon and chopsticks and entered Beijing and court.

In addition to Murong Yanchao, there was also a general Hou Yi at that time.

Hou Yi initially followed King Li Keyong of Jin, and later followed Li Cunxu to attack Hou Liang, and was well-known in the world. He was very skilled in martial arts. When he conquered the city, he could always brave the rain of arrows and climb the city with stones. Every time he was injured, Li Cunxu was moved to apply medicine to him personally.

Once when he fought against Hou Liang, two young generals in the enemy formation were extremely brave. No one dared to challenge Li Cunxu. Hou Yi stood up and captured these two fierce men alive in one battle, and became famous in one battle.

Li Cunxu destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty and established the Later Tang Dynasty, and Hou Yi was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Ma Army.

At this time, Hou Yi was an official in the court, and Guo Wei came from Ye Town in a mighty manner. Emperor Yin planned to lead the army in person. Hou Yi offered his advice: "The king is invincible to the world, so the soldiers should not be easily sent out.

Besides, the families of soldiers and families from Ye Town are all in the capital, so we might as well stay in seclusion. They came from afar and just defeated his military front.

Then, the family members were asked to write letters to the children in Guo Wei's camp to recruit people. Guo Wei's army was unstable, so this matter could not be decided."

After Hou Yi finished speaking, but General Murong Yanchao didn't know the importance of it, disagreed with Hou Yi's opinion, and said to Emperor Yin: "Hou Yi is old, and his ideas are all for the cowards!"

When the two compared their opinions, Liu Chengyou trusted Murong Yanchao more, so he rejected Hou Yi's opinion and sent him to join Murong Yanchao and others to go out to guard Chanzhou.

But after Hou Yi sent troops, he came to report to him that Guo Wei had passed Huazhou, so Hou Yi and others retreated to the small town near Bianliang and guarded the capital.

Guo Wei also received news that Hou Yi and Murong Yanchao came to fight, but he had not yet received news that they had returned and were guarding the capital.

Upon learning that his family was killed, Guo Wei summoned the guard of Huazhou Song Yanwo and wanted to issue the goods to the soldiers with the goods in the Huazhou warehouse. Song Yanwo immediately agreed and actively cooperated.

After Guo Wei took out the goods and presented them to the soldiers, he said to the soldiers: "I heard that Hou Linggong has led the imperial army from the south.

When we meet them and fight, it goes against my original intention of entering Beijing and Korea. If we don’t fight, we will be killed by them.

Now, there is still time. I want to fulfill your fame and fortune. You might as well execute the emperor's edict and take my life. I will die without any regrets!"

After Guo Wei finished speaking, the generals said, "The court has let down the Shizhong, but the Shizhong has not let down the Shizhong down! Now our army is united and strives for the first place, and has a strong morale. Just like everyone avenging personal revenge, what can Hou Yi and his group do?"

At this time, Wang Jun was serving as the supervisor of Guo Wei as the envoy of Xuanhui. His family, like Guo Wei's family, was also killed by Emperor Yin.

In this secret edict, Wang Jun was also a person who was assassinated, so Wang Jun was particularly determined to rebel against the Later Han Dynasty.

He heard Guo Wei's words and knew that Guo Wei was a little worried that the soldiers would not work hard enough, so he simply announced to the soldiers: "I have already got Guo Gong to decide to conquer the capital and allow you to rob the capital for ten days!"

After Wang Jun finished speaking, everyone was excited. Guo Hao frowned, feeling that it was inappropriate and could not say anything.

The king's army was engaged in robbery and robbery, which was not the king's army but the thief. During the Five Dynasties, such robbery were everywhere.

Compared with the previous dynasty army, there was not much difference in greed for wealth and goods. This kind of army bandit family ecology was not cured until Zhao Kuangyin's Song Dynasty construction.

Back at the tent, Guo Hao said: "Donald Guo, this time he went to Beijing, although he was clear about the emperor, but the people were not worthy of it. Wang Jianjun agreed to the robbery of the soldiers, which may make things worse."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Wang Jun said coldly: "Don't use this method to boost morale, do you have any good solutions?"

Guo Hao knew that Wang Jun's family was killed and was in a bad mood, so he didn't care about him. He clasped his fists at Guo Wei and said, "Mr. Guo, what the soldiers want is nothing but wealth, and the people regard wealth as their lives. If they are not controlled, they will definitely hurt the innocent.

The chamber of commerce I formed in Luoyang before also has a business name in Bianliang. If Mr. Guo agrees, I am willing to persuade the merchants to help the army to prevent the people from suffering!”

When Guo Wei heard this, he felt that it was better than robbery. In fact, he couldn't bear to suffer the people, and the people actually had no wealth.

"This method is feasible. If you can persuade those merchants, you will leave this matter to you."

"Thank you Mr. Guo!"

Seeing that Guo Wei agreed to Guo Hao's solution, Wang Jun snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.

Guo Wei continued to go south. On that day, he had arrived at Chenqiaoyi, the first station north of Kaifeng. When he entered Fengqiu, everyone in Kaifeng City was very afraid.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li cried and said, "I deserve to die when she didn't obey Li Tao's removal from Privy Councilor Guo Wei!"

But after hearing this, Murong Yanchao relied on his bravery and said to Liu Chengyou: "I see that the group of soldiers from the north are just a group of small insects. I will definitely capture their leader alive for Your Majesty!"

Liu Chengyou felt a little relieved, but unfortunately General Murong was a second-hand man with more tricks and less courage.

In fact, he had never fought a few serious battles and dared to underestimate Guo Wei. It was purely an illusion and imagination. He regarded war too simply.

But he returned to the court from the palace and met several ministers, and asked Guo Wei whom he brought this time. The ruling told him that there were Wang Yin, Wang Jun, Li Yun, Guo Chongwei, Zhao Xiuji, Wei Renpu, Song Yanwo, Guo Hao and others.

Murong Yanchao was a little panicked when he heard this, thinking that these are all characters, and they can be called handsome men for a while!

He couldn't help but say, "This is also a group of powerful thieves, and should not be underestimated!"

Everyone agreed.

War is inevitable, and Liu Chengyou is preparing to come forward to "work the army" in person to reward the soldiers and boost morale.

Empress Dowager Li said: "Guo Wei, no matter what, he is also an old minister of my Liu family. If it weren't for life and death this time, how could he have reached this point!

As long as we keep our troops in the city, we will send an edict to him to observe his ambitions, I think there will be some explanation.

At that time, you can also protect the rituals of the monarch and his subjects. Once a war begins, the monarch and his subjects will break up, and then they will never stop.

So, don't go out easily.”

Unfortunately, Liu Chengyou refused to listen to this and sent Hou Yi to Chigang in the northern suburbs of Bianliang, and Murong Yanchao to Qilidian in the northeast.

The next day, the protruding troops of Guo Wei's army came to Liuzipi in the north of Chigang and Qilidian. This was already the northern suburb of Bianliang. From afar, the two sides could already see the enemy formations from each other.

Guo Wei's Northern Army was still advancing south in a strict and calm manner according to the military tactics. After seeing the imperial army, he temporarily stopped advancing.

When Liu Chengyou's Southern Army saw the Northern Army, he did not move for the time being. Until the evening, neither side moved, and Liu Chengyou retreated back to the palace.
