It was of course Fulong's responsibility to save Di Qin in the crisis, but whether it was when Fu Jian was still there or now that he is dead, Fulong had no intention of replacing him.

"However, we must at least send a message to Fu Pi first so that he can stabilize Yecheng."

Yecheng is also one of the important towns in the north. The city has high walls and is surrounded by the Zhang River, which acts as a natural barrier.

When Fu Jian saw off Fu Pi, he also held his hand and earnestly asked him to guard Yecheng well and not make any mistakes.

Now, according to Murong's route, they will definitely pass through Yecheng before returning to Dragon City.

In other words, Murong's troops who fled from Chang'an City will encounter Fu Pi who is guarding Ye City early, and Fu Pi's defense may not be very good.

You should send him a message in advance so that he can be prepared.

However, Quan Yi's suggestion was a bit late.

At least twenty days have passed since Murong's departure. What had he been doing?

Now, it's time for Murong's troops to reach the gate of Yecheng City!

It's already too late to send a message now.

"Shang Shu Quan is right, a message should indeed be sent."

Although it is too late, Quan Yi is right, what should be done must be done.

Fu Pi has a violent personality. If he knew that the court was ignoring him, he would be even more angry.

The situation became even more difficult to deal with.

Fulong picked up the pen, thought about it, and handed it to Quan Yi.

It would be better for an outsider like Quan Yi to write this kind of letter involving court politics.

Just as Quan Yi was thinking about how to start the chapter, a hurried voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Both of them were shocked.

Could it be that Chief Yao is going to attack again?

Not long after, a dazed little eunuch appeared in front of everyone.

He fell to his knees and groaned for a long time without being able to say a word.

Quan Yi was a little anxious and was about to ask more questions, but Fulong stopped him.

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to remain calm.

Fu Rong walked to the little eunuch and helped him up with his own hands as he was out of breath.

"General!"

"General, it's not good!"

Of course it’s not good!

It's not like he doesn't know the current situation in Chang'an City, where can there be good news.

"Don't be impatient. Take your breath and speak slowly."

Fu Rong's kind tone calmed the little eunuch's fear.

I saw him trembling, and finally spoke: "General, Jizhou Mufu Pi has come to report that Murong Hong's troops have arrived at Ye City. This is a letter."

"It's so fast!" Fu Rong murmured.

Having said that, in terms of actual walking distance, the time is almost the same.

Fortunately, the Qiang people have been driven out of the inner city, otherwise this news might not have been sent in!

Even so, in order to deliver the message, Kuai Ma's messenger changed his clothes and pretended to be an ordinary businessman before sneaking into the city.

If he was still wearing the Qin army armor, let alone entering the city to deliver a message, his head might have been chopped off and hung on the city gate before he reached the city gate.

Fu Pi's letter was written in a hurry, and it can be seen that there was not much thought in his words.

This is also normal.

From his point of view, the appearance of Murong Hong's army near Yecheng was a bolt from the blue and something he had never imagined.

Apart from urgent consultation with the court, he could not care about anything else.

According to Murong Hong, Chang'an City was already in chaos, and Fu Pi's biological father Fu Jian was also dead. These news were a huge blow to Fu Pi.

He couldn't accept it for a while, so he wrote a letter.

More importantly, he wanted to consult the imperial court for countermeasures.

"Master Quan, Fu Pi said that Murong Hong wants to return to Longcheng via Yecheng. Do you think you can believe them?"

This was the real purpose of Fu Pi's urgent letter to the court.

The first is to determine the situation in Chang'an City, and the second is to discuss with the imperial court whether the so-called borrowing a way can be achieved.

The soldiers and horses led by Murong Hong were all elite soldiers who had been stationed in Chang'an City for a long time. They were brave, adept at fighting, and fearless.

For them, their hometown is right in front of them. As long as they pass the Yecheng level, they can say they have succeeded.

Fu Pi is still a bit confident about his abilities.

He expected that Yecheng's troops and horses alone would not be enough to deal with Murong's attack.

There are two key points now. One is Murong Bu's true intentions.

Do you just want to borrow the road, or do you just do it in the name of borrowing the road?

Seriously, he wanted to occupy Yecheng as his own.

After all, Yecheng is not far from Dragon City. With such an important town in front of you, everyone is envious.

Although Fu Pi has average abilities, he is not a fool.

If you allow him to borrow the passage at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to opening the door to Yecheng?

Personally welcome Murong Hong into the city?

He Fu Pi is actually Murong's good son?

It was precisely because of this level of concern that Fu Pi still did not reply to Murong Hong even if he shouted in front of the city and broke his throat.

But this is not a long-term solution after all.

Murong Hong's army would not leave until they could pass through Yecheng. They remained entrenched on the outskirts of Yecheng, staring at Fu Pi with eager eyes.

If you were Fu Pi, you wouldn't be able to sit still in the city.

Moreover, as the stalemate lasted longer and longer, Murong Hong's attitude became stronger and tougher, and he was particularly impatient.

These were all predicted by Fu Pi in his letters, but they are also facts that are happening now.

It is also a long distance from Yecheng to Chang'an.

Come and go again, for twenty days.

When the letter was sent out, the situation of the two armies was acceptable.

Murong Hong still had discussions with Fu Pi, but by the time the letter was delivered to Chang'an, the situation had become increasingly tense.

But there is another possibility here that cannot be ignored.

What if Murong Hong’s request is sincere?

Did he really just want to take advantage of the road near Yecheng and had no intention of occupying it?

If this was the case, all he had to do was to gently raise his hand and let Murong Hong pass, and the matter would be settled.

So Easy.

So easy.

No danger will occur, and Fu Pi doesn't have to jump around in a hurry.

So, everything is in one thought.

"Master Quan, Fu Pi means to ask us for reinforcements. Look at this..."

At the end of Fu Pi's long speech, the purpose was to seek help from the imperial court.

When the imperial court sent troops, Fu Pi became strong-willed.

Whether you are fighting with Murong Hong or really letting him go, you can always let him go.

"General Fu, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet this request."

Fulong squeezed the letter tightly and sighed again and again: "That's what the minister said."

In sending troops, Fulong was indeed powerless to control Di Qin's current situation.

The situation in Yecheng is still uncertain, but the situation in Chang'an City cannot be relaxed for a moment.

After that night of fighting, Di Qin's elite troops had already lost a lot.

It's all a fluke that we can still maintain a relatively peaceful state today.

On Chang Yao's side, he was also seriously injured because he was attacked from both sides by Murong's and Ding Ling's troops.

Precisely because both sides suffered casualties from each other, it was not easy for either side.

Yao Changcai remained on hold.

But this does not mean that he gave up the fight for Chang'an City.
