Outside the Wolf King's tent, Murong Fu did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he hid outside and observed for a while. He was relieved when he was sure that the Star Reaching Elder had not alerted the guards. However, he was even more confused. If he said that last time
You can still explain it as the other party is naive, so how should you explain it this time?
After thinking for a long time but not having any clues, Murong Fu had no choice but to put this problem behind him for the time being. For now, he had to find Yelu Hongji first. Now that the Wolf King's camp had been explored, only Temujin's handsome camp and Hua Zheng's camp were left.
Comparing these two places, Temujin's handsome camp was naturally more likely, but Murong Fu suddenly had a hunch that if he went to Hua Zheng's camp, there might be a surprise.
He didn't know why he felt this way. Maybe he didn't want to take the risk of breaking into Temujin's handsome tent, or maybe he wanted to see the Hua Zheng again. Maybe something could happen?
He did what he thought of and quickly rushed towards Hua Zheng's camp.
But soon he discovered a problem. From the Wolf King's camp to Hua Zheng's camp, Temujin's handsome tent happened to be in the middle. Since they were all here, how could he not be willing to go and explore, even if he couldn't find it?
When you go to Yelu Hongji, you can also see the true face of this iron-blooded Khan.
Murong Fu quietly approached Temujin's commander's tent. There were densely packed armored troops on all sides, with almost no gaps. Not only that, there were a total of sixteen arrow towers built around the commander's tent, with four soldiers standing on each arrow tower.
, holding a white bone longbow, scanning the surroundings with lightning eyes, it can be seen that these are the best marksmen in a hundred.
In addition, there is a man who looks like an iron tower standing at every intersection in the camp. This kind of strong man Murong Fu has seen twice, once as the Kunlun slave created by the second island master of Longmu on Xiake Island, and once when he went there.
On the road to Xixia, there were two strong men sent by the Tubo prince to block the road.
Needless to say, Kunlun slaves, even the best masters would not be able to do well against them. Even ordinary strongmen like this would give ordinary first-rate masters a huge headache when they go up against them.
Of course, Murong Fu knew that the commander's camp must not only have the defense in front of him, but also there must be more in the dark, such as the wolf king. He was not in his camp and must be following Temujin.
After Murong Fu found the direction, he used the ground escape technique to burrow through the ground. After a while, he passed through the defense of the armored army, and then ducked into a tent. The sharpshooters on the arrow tower were not vegetarians.
After doing this several times, Murong Fu finally passed through the coverage area of the arrow tower and finally came to the largest tent. Without even thinking about it, he knew that this must be Temujin's handsome tent.
It is not as luxurious as imagined. It can even be described as simple. If you want to compare it, it is not as good as Zhao Min's tent.
There were faint voices in the tent. Murong Fu quickly found a hidden location to hide, and then opened the tent. He saw seven or eight people sitting in the tent, wearing armor and carrying swords. They should all be military generals.
Murong Fu turned his eyes and looked at the man above him. He saw that he was strong and magnificent, with a yellowish complexion, a slightly round face, sparse and white hair, and a long beard under his chin. He looked like a dying old man.
, but his wide eyes are extremely deep, as if he has infinite wisdom, which is convincing.
"Is this Temujin?" Murong Fu looked at him for a few times, his face a little complicated. This is the genius of the generation, Genghis Khan.
At this time, a general sitting on Temujin's left spoke, attracting Murong Fu's attention. He only heard him say, "Your Majesty, our food and grass can only last for less than half a month at most. If we don't fight the Han people, Erlang
They will definitely rebel."
Another person said, "Mo Yun, why are you anxious? Our cannons haven't arrived yet. Now in the decisive battle, the chance of winning is only 60% at most."
"Cannons?" Murong Fu's expression changed slightly outside the tent, "Did the Mongolian army also bring in cannons?"
The previous general named Mo Yun immediately retorted, "Batu, stop talking nonsense, we have an army of 500,000, including the Khitans, a total of 900,000. Even if we use human lives to fill it, we can fill up Xiangyang City.
It is completely nonsense to say that there is only a 60% chance of winning."
Batu was not angry and said calmly, "Then let me ask you, have you considered the possibility of the Khitans rebelling? Have you considered the elusive cavalry behind us? Have you considered that there are still hundreds of thousands of unknown people to the north?
The origin of the Han army? Don’t you know that Xiangyang City is high and deep, and if it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will be attacked from both sides?"
Several questions were asked in succession, leaving Mo Yun speechless. After a long while, he said, "But... but without food and grass, hundreds of thousands of troops will have to fight against the northwest wind. We have no choice but to withdraw our troops."
Batu smiled and said, "Don't worry, our cannon will arrive in less than ten days. There is still enough time for us to capture Xiangyang City."
Another person said, "I don't understand. Compared with the catapults invented by our Great Khan, those Han people's earthen cannons are nothing special. Why do they have to wait for the earthen cannons to arrive?"
Batu sighed slightly, "Ever since a man named Murong Fu came to Xiangyang City, how have we gotten any advantage during this time? The catapult designed by the Khan is indeed clever, but you all saw it a few days ago. Xiangyang City
The defenders seem to have been well prepared. If we throw a round of stones, not only will they not be able to hurt them, we will not even be able to break through the city wall."
"Although the Han people's earthen cannons are heavy and heavy, they have a very good advantage. They are extremely destructive to the city wall. You don't need many. As long as a hundred or so, it won't be a problem to capture Xiangyang City. Since we have a more reliable way
Why take the risk to seize Xiangyang City?"
Several people were discussing, but Temujin sat at the top and said nothing from the beginning to the end. He is a person who is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and he usually only speaks when he makes the final decision.
Murong Fu listened for a long time and got some useful information. In summary, Mongolia set the date for the general attack in more than ten days. At that time, a batch of earthen cannons secretly purchased from the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty would arrive in Xiangyang City.
Temujin planned to use these earthen cannons instead of catapults to storm Xiangyang City.
Murong Fu was surprised, but he was also secretly happy, because he no longer had to try every means to delay time. With these ten days, Wu Wei's artillery could fire seven or eight, and then Temujin would open it.
Vision, if this is his trump card.
Leaving the tent quietly, Murong Fu carefully looked around and found no trace of Yelu Hongji. His expression suddenly became a little strange. Could it be that Temujin really hid Yelu Hongji in Huazheng?
’s camp? Or did he guess wrong from the beginning, and Yelu Hongji was not among the three possibilities at all?
After thinking for a long time, he decided to go and have a look. The worst case scenario was that he would arrest Hua Zheng and "torture her" to see if she could do anything.
Soon Murong Fu came to Hua Zheng's camp. Compared with the previous two places, in addition to being heavily guarded, this place also had a different atmosphere. After all, it was a place where women lived, so how could it be the same as those grown men?
.
Murong Fu avoided the guards and came to the most luxurious tent in the camp. He sensed that there were no experts around and there was only one person in the whole tent. He entered without thinking.
However, after entering the house, he suddenly discovered that there was actually a man in the room. He was startled and couldn't help but look overjoyed. This man looked exactly the same as Zhao Hong after his disguise. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yelu Hongji? At this time, Murong Fu
I really want to laugh out loud, but I can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Yelu Hongji's complexion was a little gray, and his breath was weak. He was obviously seriously injured and had not recovered. He was a little surprised when he saw someone suddenly barging in, and then he suddenly realized, "Is my time coming?"
He obviously knows his situation.
After Murong Fu looked at him carefully for a few times, his expression returned to calm, neither sad nor happy, "You are a smart man, should I send you away, or should you go by yourself?"
Yelu Hongji sighed, a trace of strong unwillingness flashed in his eyes, "I, Yelu Hongji, have fought in all directions throughout my life, fought for a glimmer of light in the cracks, fought for a piece of heaven and earth, and finally reached the point where Daliao is now, for
Shan Jiuren fell short, and even now I don't know who the enemy is."
Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't your enemy Temujin?"
Yelu Hongji shook his head and sighed, "No, I was defeated by another person before I had the chance to become his enemy."
Murong Fu suddenly realized that he was talking about the mastermind who sent someone to assassinate him, causing him to flee to Xiangyang and fall into Temujin's arms instead.
Of course, Yelu Hongji probably never imagined that that person was standing in front of him now.
Murong Fu's expression suddenly became a little bright. He wanted to laugh, but he also felt that it was inappropriate at this time. He seemed to be a villain. The corner of his mouth twitched. He asked calmly, "How do you know that person is not an iron man?"
Where is Mu Zhen?”
"No," Yelu Hongji shook his head, "He is not such a person."
Murong Fu was silent after hearing this, and felt quite unhappy. These two people were obviously enemies. In Yelu Hongji's eyes, he was sent by Temujin to kill him. He actually believed that the other party would not send anyone to assassinate him.
he.
At this time, Yelu Hongji added, "At least under the circumstances, he would never send anyone to assassinate me."
Murong Fu sighed slightly, "You are also considered a great hero. It's a pity that I have to take your head today. Do you have any last words?"
Yelu Hongji started to speak but stopped.
Unexpectedly, Murong Fu chuckled lightly and said, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously."
Yelu Hongji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Even if I have any decree for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this Mongolian camp."
After saying that, he closed his eyes slightly, looking like he was waiting to die.
Murong Fu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took a step forward and whispered in his ear, "Actually, I am not Temujin. I am the one who sent people to chase you from Yanmen Pass to Xiangyang City."
Yelu Hongji suddenly opened his eyes, wide-eyed, and opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and a red mark slowly appeared on his neck.
Murong Fu sighed, "You can be considered as dead in peace. You should never be the enemy of Xiangyang City."
