Murong Fu finally placed Zhao Min in the Lu Mansion and sent Lingxiao Pavilion disciples to monitor him. The relationship between the two was so strange, they trusted each other but also distrusted each other.
As for what Zhao Min had hidden from him, he originally wanted to ask the two elders Xuan Ming, but Zhao Min was obviously on guard and never gave him a chance, so he had to give up temporarily, but as time went by, he forgot about this small matter.
The chaos in the northern and southern camps did not last long and quickly subsided. After all, in this era, the imperial edict was still very binding. If no one took the lead, ordinary soldiers would not have the courage to mutiny and rebel. At this point, Murong Fu took initial control of Xiangyang City.
.
The next thing he had to do was infiltrate, but this was a slow process. During this period, Xiangyang City would be extremely empty, so he asked Deng Baichuan to lead an army of 50,000 into the city for defense, and he did not hesitate to expose Huo Qingtong's Tianxuan Army.
Suspect soldiers, involve the main force of Dayuan, and buy time.
After everything was settled, it was already dark. Murong Fu stood alone in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands. He felt quite uneasy. Are there spies in Xiangyang City? There must be. Maybe Temujin has learned about Xiangyang City now.
With the news of a sudden change of generals, if he launched an attack at this time, he would probably have no choice but to escape in embarrassment.
"Report!" Suddenly a Lingxiao Pavilion disciple hurried in.
Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't afraid of what might happen, right? His face remained calm and he said, "Speak."
"General Deng has arrived at the north gate and is leading his army into the city."
After hearing this, Murong Fu's heart fell completely, "Okay!"
Then he asked, "What are the casualties?"
"There were no casualties."
"What?" Murong Fu was stunned, "The Mongolian cavalry outside the north gate just watched them enter the city?"
The Lingxiao Pavilion disciple hesitated for a moment, "My subordinates heard that it was General Deng who ordered their horses to be burned, causing chaos in the Mongolian camp. They simply..."
Before he finished speaking, Murong Fu suddenly yelled, "What did you say? Deng Baichuan ordered the horses to be set on fire? Damn it, that prodigal old guy, doesn't he know that those horses belong to me? Damn it, I have endured it for so long.
He didn’t take any action, but as soon as he came he decided to burn the horse without permission!”
The disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with a thud and fell silent. They were filled with wonder. Isn't that a Mongolian horse? How did it become the young master's?
"Hahaha, old man Deng is here to apologize." At this time, a hearty laughter came, and then the figures moved, and three figures flew over.
When the figures landed, they were Deng Baichuan, Ah Zi and Wu Wei. Deng Baichuan was wearing armor, with messy beard and hair, and he looked a bit like a warrior on the battlefield. Ah Zi had a gray face, while Wu Wei was dressed as a scholar and was surprisingly clean.
, there is no trace of makeup on her face, she is still very delicate and delicate.
When Murong Fu saw Wu Wei, his expression was a little surprised, and he suddenly realized. No wonder Bai Diao, who went to pick up the messenger during the day, only brought back the imperial edict, but no one was there. It turned out that she and A Zi had gone to join Deng Baichuan.
Deng Baichuan bowed and said, "See you, Young Master."
Wu Wei looked at Murong Fu up and down with a pair of deep eyes, but said nothing.
"Brother-in-law." Ah Zi called out with a slight cry and threw herself into Murong Fu's arms.
Murong Fu patted her back, "Okay, okay, it's okay. You have made great contributions this time, and my brother-in-law will reward you well."
A'Zi calmed down and remembered that there were outsiders beside her. She embarrassedly spat out her tongue and said, "I'm going to wash up first."
Murong Fu said to Deng Baichuan angrily, "Brother Deng, your plan is so clever. Burn my horse before we even enter the city."
A smile flashed in Deng Baichuan's eyes, "My subordinate is stupid. The horses I burned were obviously Mongolian horses. When did they become the young master's horses?"
"Stop pretending to be confused. The one I like is mine." Murong Fu said angrily. He was really a little angry. There were hundreds of thousands of war horses, and he was heartbroken and bleeding.
Wu Wei rolled her eyes when she heard this, and Deng Baichuan laughed, "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates are very measured in their actions. How can they spoil the master's plans?"
"Oh?" Murong Fu was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Deng Baichuan explained, "My subordinates only burned one of the horse camps, and the number of casualties was no more than a few hundred horses."
Murong Fu breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately reprimanded, "You are just trying to scare the enemy away. In the future, the Mongolian army will be more alert, and it will be even harder to succeed."
At this time, Wu Wei added quietly, "It's not simple in the first place."
Murong Fu's face was slightly sluggish, but he soon regained his composure, "Brother Deng, after you come, to whom will the army of Wu Jingguan be entrusted? Maybe you can rest assured?"
Deng Baichuan said sternly, "Young master, don't worry, you can absolutely trust me. What's more, I have many back-up men in the army, so there won't be any trouble."
Murong Fu nodded and changed the subject, "When the army enters the city, it immediately marches to the east gate. The remaining gates are still left to the Xiangyang garrison for defense. By the way, the patrol team in the city will also be replaced by people from the Tianshu Army. What should you do.
"
"My subordinate understands."
"Okay, Brother Deng, let's make arrangements first. When Xiangyang City stabilizes, you will have to rush to Wu Jingguan to take charge of the overall situation. I will never feel relieved without you."
"yes."
After Deng Baichuan left, Murong Fu looked at Wu Wei, "Why are you here?"
Wu Wei's eyes flashed slightly and she said calmly, "I once said that when you need help, I will naturally appear."
Murong Fu rolled his eyes secretly. Did he look like he needed help now? He asked, "Besides this, is there any other reason?"
Wu Wei glanced at him blankly, "Yes, but I won't tell you."
Murong Fu looked at him with a half-smile, "Did you miss me?"
A blush suddenly appeared on Wu Wei's smooth face, "Stop talking nonsense, I won't miss you."
This coquettish and angry look suddenly had a hint of fireworks.
Murong Fu took her little hand and said as he walked away, "This is so ridiculous. You have to keep a straight face all day long and pretend to be mysterious."
Wu Wei struggled a few times but didn't break away, so she let him hold her.
The two came to the main hall, where the guest and host took their seats. The disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion served tea.
Murong Fu said, "You said I need help, then tell me what help I need?"
Wu Wei took a sip of tea and said, "You want to use Xiangyang City as the starting point to conquer the world, right?"
Murong Fu remained calm, "What then?"
Wu Wei continued, "You need to solve two problems. The first is the 800,000 Khitan and Yuan coalition forces outside the city."
Murong Fu's expression moved slightly, but he said disapprovingly, "I have solved half of this problem. The Khitan army will not be an enemy of Xiangyang City in a short time. The Yuan Dynasty's military strength alone cannot take Xiangyang City. I only need
Waiting for an opportunity, we can surround them under the city."
"If you really think so, then you will definitely lose this battle." Wu Wei shook her head and said firmly.
"But why?"
"How do you guarantee that the Khitan army will not suddenly change their mind? How do you know that Dayuan only has this small force? What's more, even if they can't capture Xiangyang City, you won't have the power to counterattack, because you are no match for cavalry warfare.
"
Murong Fu was silent, the initiative on the side of the Khitan army was really not in his hands. If Xiao Feng was killed, or something went wrong with Yelu Hongji, the Khitan army would fall to the Mongolian side at any time. In addition, Dayuan was returning
There are still some forces on the battlefield, as well as in various tribes in the Western Regions.
His eyes flickered for a while, and he asked again, "You just said this was the first question, so what about the second question?"
"Great justice." Wu Wei softly uttered two words.
Murong Fu was shocked. This has always been the weak point of the Murong family. He immediately said angrily, "Can you finish it all at once and don't always sell it?"
Wu Wei said calmly, "Your Murong family has always been from the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall. This matter is not difficult to find out. Once someone finds out, even if you have an army of millions, you will be unknown and unpopular."
After hearing this, Murong Fu vaguely understood why there was an extra word "King Yan" in the imperial edict, "Is that so-called 'King Yan' your idea?"
Wu Wei nodded, "Yes, I happened to be in Lin'an when you sent the letter to Lin'an. My brother showed me the letter, so I took advantage of the situation and asked the emperor to give you the virtual title of King Yan.
"
Speaking of which, the imperial edict is indeed somewhat interesting. First of all, it is the title of "King of Yan" with no food or imperial edict. Secondly, it is the character "I will fight on my behalf and sit in Xiangyang". It sounds very powerful, but in fact it doesn't even hold a decent official position.
Not really.
Things were urgent during the day, and Murong Fu couldn't take care of that much. Now thinking about it, it felt a bit like using chicken feathers as command arrows. Of course, for Murong Fu, the command arrows made of chicken feathers were also command arrows. He didn't need Song Ting's
Any edict will be fine as long as it achieves its purpose.
After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Then how do you think I should solve the problem of justice?"
Wu Wei rolled her eyes at him and said, "You should think about how to solve the problem in Xiangyang City first. To be honest, I think you are taking this step too fast. If you take one wrong step, your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Why do I listen to what you said, as if my end is coming soon?" Murong Fu cursed secretly, and then said, "You mean, you are willing to take over the post of chief military advisor of the Murong family?"
Wu Wei avoided answering and just said, "I can do my best to help you defend Xiangyang City."
Murong Fu suddenly swayed his shoulders and came to Wu Wei in an instant, looking at her steadily, "Don't do this with me. I said that all I care about are mine, including you, so you can either give me an accurate answer."
, or I have to decide for you."
"You..." Wu Wei felt terrified as he stared at her, "How...are you going to decide for me?"
Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, make you my woman."
Wu Wei's pretty face turned red instantly and she said angrily, "You are shameless! You are so unreasonable!"
"Did you meet me on the first day?" Murong Fu asked again.
Wu Wei was silent for a long time, then she sighed quietly, "Okay, I promise you, but if one day you violate your original intention, I will not forgive you."
"If you don't spare me, can you still eat me?" Murong Fu thought to himself, and said vaguely, "Don't worry, if you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down."
At this moment, there was a creak, and Wang Yuyan and Murong Xue suddenly barged in, "Cousin, something happened."
