At this time Deng Baichuan said, "Sir, no matter what Emperor Yuan is waiting for or what conspiracy he has, we must make preparations in advance."
Murong Fu nodded slightly. In any case, now most of the Murong family's power has been involved. It is no longer like before where he can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and the fisherman gets the benefit. Now he must find ways to keep this foundation, "What does Brother Deng want to do?"
?”
Deng Baichuan mused, "First of all, I think we can mobilize the 100,000 troops from Wu Jingguan into the city first."
Murong Fu frowned slightly. This was one of his trump cards. Tianxuan's army had been exposed. If the 100,000-strong army was completely exposed, he would lose a lot of support.
It was not difficult for Deng Baichuan to guess his concerns, and added, "Master, don't forget, we still have 50,000 troops who have detoured back to Qutang Pass, which is enough to serve as an ambush."
Murong Fu hesitated for a long time and finally shook his head, "Wait a little longer. If Dayuan really increases his troops, it will still be too late to mobilize the army from Wuchengguan into the city."
After all, he still didn't trust Fancheng's Ezhou Army. He had to keep this trump card until the most critical moment.
Deng Baichuan was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Then I would like to ask the young master to take back his orders and withdraw the army outside the city into the city."
Before Wu Wei raised those two possibilities, he wasn't too worried, but now, he felt that garrisoning outside the city was a bit risky.
"Yes, brother," Murong Xue also agreed with this opinion, "You are worried about the safety of Tianxuan Army, why don't you trust the person named Huo and let her return to Qutang Pass?"
Before Murong Fu could speak, Wang Yuyan spoke again, "It's too late to retreat now."
"Why?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.
Wang Yuyan explained, "I just got the news that A'Zhu has set up the temporary headquarters of the Crystal Palace behind the Tianxuan Army, and the Tianxuan Army is backed by the Bashu Mountains. It is easy to come down, but it is not easy to go back."
Everyone was silent. Although it was easy for the cavalry to rush down the mountain, it was a bit difficult to rush back. If the Mongolian army took the opportunity to attack, it would probably suffer heavy losses.
"Why did Miss A'Zhu set up the headquarters here?" Deng Baichuan asked puzzledly.
"This is my cousin's order to facilitate the transmission of messages."
Deng Baichuan frowned and said nothing.
Murong Fu pondered for a long time, "There is no need to talk about the garrison. Since Temujin has to wait, I don't think he will act rashly in the short term. Brother Deng can just practice as usual every day. By the way, he can take advantage of this time to guard the 30,000 Xiangyang City."
The army will take it back to the account."
Deng Baichuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He had always been worried about the 50,000 troops allocated to Huo Qingtong. Now that he could make up for 30,000, it was not a big loss.
Wang Yuyan asked suddenly, "Cousin, isn't it possible that I have already planned to attack the Xiangyang defenders?"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "I have been working on ideas, but I also have a headache, and there has been no good solution. After all, this place has been run by Lu Wenhuan for a long time, until Gang Leader Huang proposed to combine the 30,000 defenders with the Tianshu Army.
I just thought of it when I was stationed outside the city. It’s hard to swallow one hundred thousand, so why can’t I swallow thirty thousand?”
"Haha, of course it won't trouble me." Deng Baichuan no longer had any doubts, "If we can annex these 30,000 troops, it will be worth taking a little risk."
Don't look at the fact that Murong Fu is now sitting in Xiangyang and taking over the military and political power. In fact, he is still empty-handed. This is because he has no foundation in the officialdom or the army. Relying on strong pressure is not the best strategy after all. Only by truly infiltrating and replacing himself can this power be eliminated.
Put it in the palm of your hand.
Murong Fu suddenly changed the topic and said to Wang Yuyan, "A'Zhu has set up a stronghold behind the Tianxuan Army?"
Wang Yuyan nodded, "Yes, the letter said she would be in charge personally."
"Why did this girl come here in person?" Murong Fu suddenly changed his expression. That was the Mongolian rear army. Now Dayuan must be trying every means to get rid of the Tianxuan army. A'Zhu actually turned around and went behind the Tianxuan army.
Isn't it extremely dangerous?
Ah Zi, who had been silent all this time, was not happy when she saw that he was so nervous about her sister. Instead, she said sourly, "Brother-in-law, you sent Huo Qingtong to the rear of Dayuan. She doesn't seem that nervous. Could it be that my sister is more nervous than that Huo?"
Is Qingtong gold more expensive?"
Murong Fu's face was slightly dull. Both of them were his women. Naturally, he couldn't say who was more important than the other. He immediately scolded him with a straight face, "Azi, don't talk nonsense. Brother-in-law just thinks that one is enough to call me."
I'm so worried, now I'm adding another one, your sister's move is somewhat reckless."
"Don't worry, cousin, A'Zhu is so smart, he will definitely not be in danger." Wang Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Murong Fu was still a little worried, but he had no choice. Could he still ask her to go through the Mongolian camp to Xiangyang City?
Wang Yuyan changed the topic, "A'Zhu's letter also said one thing. Our food, grass and weapons have arrived in Nanyang Town. They will be escorted by the Sun Moon God Sect, Lingjiu Palace and Blood Shadow Palace. It will be available at noon tomorrow at the latest.
Arrive at Xiangyang City."
"Nanyang?" Wu Wei raised an eyebrow, "Why not enter the city by water?"
Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes, "This batch of grain, grass and ordnance is large enough to defend Xiangyang City for several months. Such a large amount of grain and grass is naturally mobilized from several places. It takes a long way to transfer to the waterway, which will take a long time.
Long time.”
"Several months!" Wu Wei was surprised. Before that, she really didn't know that the Murong family could raise so much food and grass. She didn't know what came to mind, but she suddenly said inexplicably, "As far as I know, Mongolia's
The food and grass nearby are also in short supply."
Deng Baichuan and others quickly reacted, "Miss Wu, do you mean that they will take advantage of this batch of grain and grass?"
Wu Wei kept silent. Isn't this obvious?
Murong Fu said, "Wei'er is right. Not only will they be interested in this batch of food and grass, but they will also not make a fuss like they did when they robbed Xiangyang City's food and grass."
"But now we can no longer send any manpower." Murong Xue suddenly added.
"But why?" Ah Zi asked in confusion. She knew that Murong Fu had brought five hundred disciples from Lingxiao Pavilion.
Murong Xue glanced at her sideways and said nothing.
Wang Yuyan explained, "Some are monitoring the officials in Xiangyang City, some are monitoring the military generals, and some are protecting those in the martial arts community in the north and south camps. Now even the general's palace has far fewer guards."
"Protect people in the martial arts world?" Ah Zi became more and more confused.
Wang Yuyan spread her hands, "I don't know what your brother-in-law wants to do, so he suddenly sent out most of the elite to protect those people. They have hands and feet, and their martial arts are high, so they don't need anyone to protect them."
It turns out that after Murong Fu returned yesterday, he asked Wang Yuyan to secretly transfer half of the Lingxiao Pavilion disciples to the South Camp and tightly control the entire camp.
Ah Zi looked at Murong Fu, but he did not intend to tell Lu Guanying's story for the time being, so he quickly changed the subject, "How many people from the Blood Shadow Palace came this time?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but it's estimated that there were about two hundred people." Wang Yuyan shook her head.
"That's great," Ah Zi clapped her hands, "With these two hundred assassination masters, we can definitely kill him until the sky is dark and the earth is covered with blood."
Her face is small and delicate, and her big eyes are pure and innocent, but the words she speaks casually are horrifying, without any mercy. It must be said that under her angelic appearance, she is a complete little devil.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Wang Yuyan's face, "Are you happy?"
"Of course..." A'Zi was about to reply when she suddenly noticed that the faces of the others were a little ugly. She shut her mouth in time and shrank into Murong Fu's arms.
Murong Fu didn't bother to say anything to her, and said in a deep voice, "When the food and grass arrive safely, the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace will still return the same way. No, let's send a letter to the food transportation team now and ask the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace to return to Yanziwu immediately."
"Why?" Everyone asked in unison. Not to mention that it was the time to employ people and the food and grass had not been sent in yet. Why should the Blood Shadow Palace killer be sent back?
Of course they didn't know that Murong Fu would not have sent away the two hundred killers before they knew about Lu Guanying's plan, but Lu Guanying reminded him that Yanziwu was not as stable as it appeared, and he had to be careful. As for food and grass,
, he is not too worried, there are so many masters in Xiangyang City, is it possible that raising them is in vain?
Murong Fu shook his head and did not explain, "As I expected, the Sun Moon God Sect and the Lingjiu Palace will send quite a few troops this time. It is enough to leave them behind. The Blood Shadow Palace should go back and guard Yanzi."
The dock is the key."
When he said this, no one could say anything to refute. After all, the importance of Yanziwu was no less than that of Xiangyang City.
"I think what we should be most concerned about now is how to handle this batch of food and grass?" Wu Wei was the one who spoke.
After hearing this, everyone thought for a while and expressed their opinions, but none of them had any good strategies. Murong Xue advocated killing them directly and sending a large army to greet them. However, Deng Baichuan felt that the army could not move lightly. Presumably Mongolia did not dare to divide its troops and could only send Lingxiao Pavilion.
Or the martial arts masters in the city went to help.
But the quantity of this batch of grain and grass is indeed huge. Mongolia is short of grain and grass and is bound to get it. No one can say whether they really dare not divide their troops. What if they just want to make a desperate move?
At this time, Wu Wei said quietly, "Don't forget, there are still 50,000 cavalry in the old Mongolian camp. These 50,000 cavalry cannot attack the city. If they attack and roam, no one can stop them."
Everyone was shocked, and Deng Baichuan said, "Perhaps we can set fire to the camp like last time. Although the fifty thousand cavalry are flexible, they must guard the horses. It is not difficult to contain them by just setting a fire."
Wu Wei remained silent again, her face noncommittal.
Murong Fu glared at Deng Baichuan slightly and said angrily, "Brother Deng, you are not allowed to mention the plan of setting fire to the camp in the future."
"Yes." The corners of Deng Baichuan's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Actually, you have all forgotten one thing. No matter how big the quantity of this batch of grain and grass is, we don't have to transport it all at once."
"My cousin means..."
"Right now, we are in urgent need of food and grass. We can transport a small part of it to Xiangyang City first, and transfer the rest to the Han River and enter the city by water. It won't matter if we delay it a little longer."
Everyone's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea. If only a small part is transported, even if the Mongolian side wants to, they will not be so anxious to get angry. At this moment, a Lingxiao Pavilion disciple hurriedly came to the door and said, "Master Qi.
, Huang Yaoshi of Taohua Island was attacked and injured, and his life is in danger."
