Yecheng, city head.
Murong De, wearing a general's robe and armor, looked at the dense Wei army camp outside the city, with groups of cavalry passing through it. In the supply camp further away, cattle and sheep were all over the mountains and fields, and a large number of civilians could be seen.
Under the supervision of the Wei sergeants holding leather whips, various war tools for the siege, such as ladders, rams, and siege towers, were being built. The Wei army's camp was divided into two parts, the north and the south.
The "Tuoba" flag was flying in the camp to the south, while the flag of the Helan tribe was flying in the camp to the north.
Murong De curled his lips and looked at Murong Lan, who was standing next to him in a sergeant's attire: "Alan, as expected, Helan Lu and Tuoba Yi have arrived, and they arrived faster than we thought.
It's going to be a day soon. According to your method, we first persuaded the people outside the city to enter the city, but there are still more than 10,000 Han households who have not entered the city. You see, they have now become civilians of the enemy and are making attacks for them.
Where are the city equipment?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "But more than 70,000 households of Hu and Han people have entered the city. Even if more than 10,000 households refuse to come in, it is not a big loss. I still say that people's hearts cannot be lost. If you lose the people's hearts, you will lose them."
There is no way to remedy this. I believe that those who stayed behind chose to stay rather than enter the city because they knew it was my eldest brother who burned the city."
Murongde sighed: "Maybe you are right, but now, the enemy's strength is stronger than we imagined. The Helan tribe has 60,000 infantry and cavalry, and Tuoba Yi also has 40,000 soldiers and horses, just outside the city
The number of enemy troops exceeds 100,000. I was thinking, should I take advantage of their new arrival and take the initiative to attack them?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Brother, do you know why I came to Yecheng at this time?"
Murongde curled up his lips: "Yeah, I'm also surprised about this. Originally, you said that you were going to find the decisive power and you wouldn't come here. Could it be that you have already found the decisive power?"
Murong Lan shook her head: "No, but we are making arrangements, and I can't come in a hurry, so I just happened to come to help you once. After all, we have special status now. If people tell people that we are together all the time, maybe A Bao will get up."
Suspicious."
Murong De sighed: "My incompetent nephews have broken my eldest brother's heart. Even now, they still don't forget to fight among themselves. Dayan will be destroyed in their hands one day. Now I have the
Chongbing, you are in control of Dayan's intelligence system. It's no wonder that Abao is afraid of us. He is not stupid. He killed the Queen Mother before to consolidate his power. This guy is more ruthless than we imagined.
"
Murong Lan sighed faintly: "My sister-in-law has been pitiful. She has followed her brother through ups and downs for so many years, but she ended up like this. Brother, your wife is also Duan's sister. You have to comfort her recently.
Emotions, don’t make her too sad.”
Murong De nodded: "It's a pity that all of my sons, Murong De, were killed by the former Qin Dynasty when my eldest brother raised his army. Now he has truly become a man without an heir. He doesn't even have a son to appease his wife. When it comes to me,
The saddest thing about age is loneliness. Maybe it was because my eldest brother saw that I had no son that he dared to lead my troops with confidence."
Murong Lan curled her lips: "Yes, we have all paid too much and sacrificed too much for Dayan's restoration. My little brother and your half-brother, all the children paid the price with their lives, so,
We must protect the country we have built with great difficulty, otherwise we will not only fail our descendants, but also our children."
Murong De looked at the Wei army outside the city and sighed: "But this time, Tuoba Gui is a powerful soldier who wants to destroy our country, Yan. Can we really survive this disaster? Lan Mei, there are no outsiders here now."
, tell me the truth, what exactly is this decisive power?"
Murong Lan shook her head: "It's not the time to tell you yet, but I came to the city this time to bring you a secret weapon."
Murong De's spirit perked up and he quickly said: "Lan Mei, please tell me, what's the way to defeat the enemy?!"
Murong Lan smiled and pointed to Helan Lu's camp outside the city. He Lanlu, who was wearing a gorgeous fox fur robe, was patrolling the ordnance supply camp on horseback under the protection of a group of generals.
The thin black soldier with a feather crown was explaining something to his side, and He Lanlu nodded repeatedly.
Murong De curled his lips and said, "That's Helan Lu, huh, this person is erratic and he is the first one to attack here again. What do you want him to do?"
Murong Lan shook her head, her spring-like jade fingers remained unchanged: "Brother, please see clearly what the little sister is pointing at."
Murong De's heart moved, he pointed and looked, and said in surprise: "You are referring to the person next to Helan Lu? This person seems to be the front commander of the Helan Department, his name is Ding Jian, right?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "It's this person. This Ding Jian has been a member of Helan's tribe for many years and is also a famous warrior in the army. But no one knows his other identity, that is, he is our spy who has been deployed on the grassland for many years.
.”
Murong De opened his mouth in surprise: "What, Ding Jian is actually your subordinate spy?"
Murong Lan nodded: "To be precise, it was a chess piece laid by the elder brother. Ding Jian's mother and younger brother have been raised by the elder brother, while Ding Jian himself was returned to the Helan tribe. Of course, he
He was just one of the dozens of young children released back then, with the purpose of controlling and monitoring the Helan tribe. After so many years, most of the young children back then have died, or were disabled, or disappeared from the public. Only Ding Jian can rely on him.
He rose to the position of a minor leader through his military exploits."
"When Liu Yu and I went to the grassland, we secretly contacted Ding Jian and informed him of the situation of his mother and younger brother in Dayan. He still maintained his loyalty to us. When he participated in the Battle of Hepi, he also visited Ding Jian several times before.
I wanted to pass on the information back, but unfortunately I was not in Dayan at that time, so I was beyond my reach. When I returned to Dayan last year, I secretly sneaked back to the grassland, and it was only because of Ding Jian's protection that I was safe and sound."
Murong De nodded: "Having such a person as Dayan's informant is really a blessing for Dayan. Do you want to use this Ding Jian to instigate rebellion against the Helan tribe?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "No, now is not the time. The Helan tribe betrayed Tuoba Gui before in Niuchuan, and they rebelled against Ah Lin during the Battle of the Yellow River last time. But for some reason, Tuoba Gui
I actually let them go once, and now Helan Lu will never dare to fight back this time, but taking advantage of the contradiction between the Helan tribe and Tuoba Yi and doing some tricks is the way to win this battle!"
