However, Huang Yaoshi spoke, and Murong Fu had to give some face. He looked at Lu Guanying for a few times and then looked away, "Everyone, what I mean is this. Send 30,000 troops to station outside the city to alleviate the pressure on Xiangyang City.
The atmosphere will let people know that Xiangyang City can also take the initiative to attack. Secondly, it will protect the safety of the generals. Thirdly, if the army is stationed outside the city, there will be scouts pulling the strings, and all fellow martial artists can also take the opportunity to sneak in."
Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this. In fact, they didn't say anything, and they felt in their hearts that Lu Guanying was right. This approach was too dangerous. If the Mongolian army sent cavalry to suddenly attack, the army would not have time to retreat into the city.
Guo Jing pondered for a moment and said tactfully, "Mr. Murong, is this too risky? The Mongolian cavalry is extremely fast. They may have already rushed over before our scouts can report back."
"Yes, sending the army outside the city can certainly improve the morale of the soldiers and civilians, but our reliance has always been Xiangyang City. Using one's own shortcomings to attack another's strong points is a taboo for military strategists. I hope Master Murong will think twice," Kongwen said.
.
Qiu Chuji frowned and said nothing, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he did not agree with Murong Fu's approach.
Huang Rong's eyes flashed and she looked at Murong Fu with an inquiring look. Although what he said was reasonable, this method was not clever and even a bit stupid. To use his own words, the risks were not proportional to the benefits.
Why even propose such a strategy?
In fact, Murong Fu was also helpless. In order to contain the Mongolian army, Huo Qingtong had already approached the rear army less than 20 miles away. This distance was really not a distance for the Mongolian cavalry. They might send troops to encircle Tianxuan army at any time.
Those 80,000 cavalrymen are treasures and cannot be easily damaged, so Xiangyang City must also put on a posture of being ready to attack at any time, so that the Mongolian army does not dare to act rashly.
It's just that he doesn't intend to make this matter public. The reason is very simple. He can be said to have paid for the Tianshu Army to station in Xiangyang City. Even if others have suspicions, they can't find any evidence. But if it is exposed,
If the Tianxuan Army is defeated, then the ambitions of the Murong family will be exposed, which will inevitably cause an uproar.
Of course, he needed an ally now, so he sent a message to Huang Rong and said, "Rong'er, my Murong family's cavalry is now located twenty miles away from the Mongolian rear. I must find a way to contain them, otherwise the cavalry will be in danger."
Huang Rong was shocked after hearing this and blurted out, "You still have..."
Before he could say the word "cavalry", he stopped suddenly and changed his words, "There are also the defenders of Xiangyang City. Since we want to send them, why not send more. Thirty thousand is too much."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. They did not expect that Huang Rong, who was always resourceful and resourceful, would support Murong Fu's opinion. From what she meant, she seemed to think that thirty thousand was too little.
Murong Fu understood what she meant, and after some calculation he nodded, "Then we will allocate another 30,000 from the Xiangyang garrison."
There were over 100,000 Xiangyang City defenders including the wounded. Since the Tianshu Army entered the city, the east gate was fully defended by the Tianshu Army. Therefore, 10,000 of the 100,000 defenders were stationed at the north gate, and 10,000 were stationed at the west gate.
, the rest are all at the south gate, and taking away 30,000 yuan will not have any impact.
Unexpectedly, Huang Rong shook her head, "It's not enough."
After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "Let's do this. I will also send you 40,000 disciples of the Beggar Clan, making up a total of 100,000."
Murong Fu looked hesitant after hearing this. His original intention was to send a flexible and powerful army to station outside the city, which could advance or retreat, to have a containment effect. Thirty thousand Tianshu troops were just right, plus three
Even if the defenders lose some flexibility, they have increased their combat power, but if they add 40,000 Beggar Clan disciples, it will be a bit overwhelming.
The two men said a few words lightly, which made the rest of the people in the tent feel numb. They were still strongly opposed to this plan, but the two were already discussing the number of garrison troops. Can you consider our feelings and don't treat us as if we don't exist?
Guo Jing came to his senses and said hurriedly, "Rong'er, this is more than child's play, it's simply ridiculous."
The tone was slightly serious, already a bit scolding.
Huang Rong frowned and wanted to refute but didn't know how to explain it. After receiving Murong Fu's message, she had already understood his concerns and naturally didn't want to cause trouble.
Seeing that the other martial arts people were still arguing, Murong Fu waved his hand, "Okay, it's settled. There are a total of 60,000 troops, plus 40,000 Beggar Clan disciples wandering around. Even if Dayuan wants to take action, he has to think carefully.
.”
When everyone heard this and knew that he had made the final decision and would not give any chance for persuasion, they all sighed secretly.
In fact, Murong Fu didn't need to discuss this matter with them. He only needed to summon Deng Baichuan, Huang Rong and a few "own people" to discuss it. The reason why he brought it up here was mainly because of his bet with Zhao Min.
, once the army forms a confrontation outside the city, it will be much easier to sneak into the Mongolian army. This is a fact.
But this was not enough. After thinking about it, he suddenly looked at Zhang Sanfeng and Huang Laoxie, "Two seniors, the martial arts comrades in Xiangyang City are following you two. I wonder if you two are willing to take the lead and kill some Mongolian generals first?"
, raise morale?”
This meant that Chi Guoguo wanted them to take the lead in the assassination. Huang Rong gave him a vague look.
Zhang Sanfeng has always been quite disdainful of such underhanded tactics. He hesitated for a moment but did not speak. Huang Laoxie said, "You don't have to flatter me. The leader of Zhang Zhenren is true to his ethics. I don't have that ability, everyone."
I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
When he said this, the atmosphere in the tent inexplicably relaxed. The leaders of each faction smiled kindly. After getting along for many days, they also discovered that although Huang Laoxie was known as Dongxie, his character was still okay and not as good as the rumors.
So terrifying.
Murong Fu smiled coquettishly, "No matter what, there should be a leader. I wonder if Senior Huang is willing to take on this mission?"
If it weren't for the people from the Blood Shadow Palace who hadn't come yet, he wouldn't care about these people in the martial arts world and would just send the Blood Shadow Palace out. The Wolf Alliance might not be able to withstand it, so he could just compete with the Shadow Wolf Army and use their strengths to make up for their weaknesses.
Huang Yaoshi just thought for two breaths and nodded slightly, "I have been idle for so long in Xiangyang City. I am almost sick. Let's go out of the city for a walk."
When he said this, Huang Rong's face changed slightly, "Dad..."
Huang Yaoshi interrupted, "Rong'er, there's no need to say more. Now that I'm here, I must have something to do. I'm not good at marching and fighting. With you and Jing'er making plans, I can only kill a few Mongolian Tatars."
Son, try your best."
Huang Rong knew that he absolutely couldn't change his decision, so she could only sigh and said, "Then daddy, be careful."
At this time, Murong Fu looked at Zhang Sanfeng with a half-smile, "I wonder what Master Zhang said?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "You kid will always make trouble. Even if you want to be lazy, you can't do it. For the sake of our family, country and the world, we will not hesitate to make an exception."
The implication is that he agreed. Although he has principles, acts openly and aboveboard, he is not pedantic.
Murong Fu looked slightly happy. With these two taking the lead, the rest of the martial arts community must be willing to go even if they don't want to go. Once this kind of thing starts, it will be difficult to stop. When the time comes and cooperate with a large number of gold and silver rewards, they will understand. An effect was formed, one after another sneaking into the Mongolian camp.
"Guo is the one." Guo Jing suddenly said.
Murong Fu was startled and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Master Guo. Please be careful. All martial arts comrades can go if they want. I will prepare the strongest wine in Xiangyang City and wait for your triumphant return."
After sending everyone away, only Murong Fu and Huang Rong were left in the tent. Huang Rong had a pair of beautiful eyes waiting for him, her small cheeks were slightly bulging, and she looked like an angry little daughter.
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? That Guo Daxia took the initiative to ask for help, and I didn't ask him to go."
"What about my father?" Huang Rong asked coldly.
Murong Fu was amused in his heart. Guo Jing obviously did not support his plan, but he was unambiguous in his actions and tried to do everything first. How come when he got to Huang Rong's place, everyone else could go, but her family couldn't?
He sighed pretending to be sad, "Oh, why are the gaps between people so big?"
Huang Rong's face became increasingly unkind, "What do you mean?"
Murong Fu shook his head, "It's nothing. I mean, Guo Jing is tall and thick, with a stupid appearance, while Ronger, you are petite and exquisite, as beautiful as a flower. The gap is really huge."
"You are not allowed to arrange Brother Jing!" Huang Rong glared at him, not caring at all about the two complimentary words, but extremely unhappy with him for belittling Guo Jing's appearance.
Murong Fu immediately surrendered, "Yes, yes, your brother Jing is perfect, tall and handsome, serving the country and the people..."
After the endless praise, Huang Rong snorted softly and her face softened slightly, "You just said that your Murong family still has cavalry ambushing behind the Mongolian army. What's going on?"
Murong Fu pondered for a long time, "I put 80,000 cavalry behind the main Mongolian force. Otherwise, do you think things would have gone so smoothly last night? Would Temujin have watched the 30,000 troops being slaughtered?"
Huang Rong was dumbfounded. After a long time, she sighed quietly and said in a complicated tone, "I can't see you clearly anymore."
Murong Fu smiled faintly, "Can't you see clearly? We have been honest with each other so many times, and you actually say you can't see clearly. Do you want me to take off your clothes now and show you?"
"Be serious, I'm telling you business!" Huang Rong rolled her eyes at him and said slowly, "Earlier you said that your family has an army of 300,000 people. In fact, I have always had doubts. The army is already over 100,000 strong, but I didn’t expect you to still have the ability to get 80,000 cavalry. Now I’m starting to believe you.”
A trace of pride flashed across Murong Fu's face, "You should have believed me earlier."
Huang Rong changed the topic, "Then you can tell me now where the other 170,000 troops are?"
She calculated that Tianshu's army only had 50,000 troops, and with 80,000 cavalry, there should be another 170,000 troops hiding elsewhere.
"Just now..." Murong Fu thought for a moment, as if it was okay to tell her, but mid-sentence he suddenly stopped and suddenly turned his head to look outside the account, "Who is there!"
He looks a little shy, and seems not quite used to this kind of situation.
