Huang Rong's face was slightly dull, and she immediately retorted, "Don't look down on people so much, okay? Xiangyang City can persist for so long because of their great efforts!"
Murong Fu's eyes flashed for a while, "I remember, did Guo Daxia learn the art of war?"
Huang Rong rolled her eyes, "You don't have to worry about it. Lu Wenhuan used to rely so much on brother Jing because he was very talented in arranging troops."
Murong Fu pondered for a while, "What do you think about letting Guo Jing assist Brother Deng?"
Huang Rong's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she quickly stared at him suspiciously. She subconsciously felt that this would not be a good thing.
Seeing this, Murong Fu immediately understood what she was thinking, and was quite dumbfounded, "I'm talking to you about business, but you don't know that the Tianshu Army lacks generals, especially generals who can form troops and formations."
Huang Rong's face softened slightly, and she thought for a moment before saying, "There is no need for this. We are defending the city, not facing each other head-on. There is no need to arrange our troops."
She still didn't want Guo Jing to have anything to do with Murong Fu.
Murong Fu looked at her deeply and said, "Forget it then."
The atmosphere was slightly frozen, and Huang Rong suddenly remembered the purpose of chasing them out, "Hey, you gathered them up and drove them away with just one sentence. Isn't this funny?"
Murong Fu said nothing.
Huang Rong continued, "At least let them do something. Protecting Xiangyang City is not your job alone. You cannot succeed alone. It requires everyone to work together."
Murong Fu thought about it for a while and sneered, "Then what do you think I can ask them to do? Assassinate the Mongolian officers? After so many days, will it have any effect? On the contrary, the leader has been assassinated by others."
Huang Rong glared at him, "Can you please stop being so harsh when you speak? I am also a member of the martial arts world!"
Murong Fu spread his hands helplessly, "Okay then, I will leave these martial arts people under your and Daxia Guo's command. You can do whatever you want."
Huang Rong naturally knew that he was perfunctory, but there was no way. Preparing for war was a matter for the city defenders, and it was a matter of confidentiality. It was really not appropriate to let too many people know. The biggest use of people in the martial arts world was to cause sabotage, or to sneak in.
Killing randomly in a chaotic battle, but nothing else seems to be of much use.
"By the way," Huang Rong suddenly remembered something and asked in an incomprehensible tone, "You asked me to be responsible for managing the Murong family's information. Do I have any autonomy?"
Murong Fu looked at her funny, "What kind of autonomy do you want?"
Huang Rong's eyes flickered, "It's okay. If you're not here or busy with other things, I can make the decision for you."
"Really?" A strange look flashed across Murong Fu's face, "Okay."
Huang Rong's face lit up, "Really?"
"of course it's true."
…
Time flies, and seven or eight days have passed. During this period, there was an undercurrent in Xiangyang City, and spies from both sides came and went, fighting endlessly.
Murong Fu was not idle either. He was extremely busy, mainly transporting ordnance supplies and raw materials for manufacturing artillery and ammunition. He had already plundered everything that Xiangyang City could plunder, and he did not have enough manpower to transport it from outside the city.
, because Xiangyang City is now surrounded by Mongolia in all directions except the Khitan camp in the south.
Today, the Mongolian military strength has surged to more than 600,000. Of course, including the original defenders of Xiangyang City, Murong Fu's side only has 400,000, barely adding 250,000 from Zhao Hong's side, and the three parties have invested more than 1,300 troops.
One hundred thousand, this is simply an unprecedented war.
It stands to reason that as the defender of the city, only one-third of the troops of the siege party can securely defend the city. But for Temujin, Murong Fu did not dare to take it lightly, especially since the opponent also obtained a large number of cannons, so
During this period of time, he had been working hard to make the artillery. Only when he got this big killer weapon out did he feel as safe as a mountain.
In addition, the training of the escort army is also on the right track. This is due to the fact that after Murong Xue left, Murong Fu handed over the command of this army to Yuan Ziyi. Although this girl was resolute and cold-tempered, she was not as big as Murong Xue.
Carrying out killings, the comparison between the two has really won over some people's hearts.
Under Guo Jing's arrangement, martial arts people from various sects helped build the city wall and carry supplies. Everything was in order.
On this day, Murong Fu was lying in the hall, holding a small map in his hand. Yuan Ziyi stood in front of him, and Zhou Zhiruo stood behind him.
"Hey, you called me here just to see you two bitches making love to each other?" Yuan Ziyi waited for a long time, and Murong Fu didn't say a word. She couldn't help but get angry.
Before Murong Fu spoke, Zhou Zhiruo became unhappy, "I warn you to be careful what you say, who are the 'dog men and women'?"
Yuan Ziyi sneered, "I'll tell whoever it is."
Before Zhou Zhiruo could speak, Murong Fu slowly put down the map and asked, "How is the protective army?"
Mentioning this matter, a trace of pride flashed across Yuan Ziyi's delicate face, "It's better than before."
Murong Fu was stunned, "What does it mean to be better than before?"
Yuan Ziyi raised his chin slightly, "I am more obedient than before, my military discipline is better than before, and my combat power is stronger than before. Anyway, everything is better than before."
Murong Fu frowned, "Have you ever broken the seal?"
Yuan Ziyi nodded, "I've untied it, and it's all in good order, and there's no rebellion."
Murong Fu's face suddenly darkened, "This is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Yuan Ziyi was stunned.
"After being suppressed for so long and being killed so many times by Xue'er, how could it be possible that I don't have any resistance at all?"
Yuan Ziyi smiled proudly, "That means my method is better than Murong Xue's. She kills people easily, so how can she win people's hearts?"
It can be seen that her competitive spirit is really strong.
Murong Fu was too lazy to argue with her and pondered for a moment, "No matter whether they really return home or not, you still have to be careful. This is a double-edged sword. If you don't use it well, you will be hurt first."
"Are you concerned about me?" Yuan Ziyi smiled.
"Just take it as such," Murong Fu rolled his eyes at her. During this period, whenever Zhou Zhiruo was around, Yuan Ziyi would tease him intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhou Zhiruo turned a blind eye to this and sneered in her heart. Don't let yourself get involved someday. Don't regret it.
Murong Fu suddenly looked at Yuan Ziyi seriously and said seriously, "When the war begins, the goal of the protective army is to destroy the first catapult."
Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Yuan Ziyi immediately said seriously, "Don't worry, I know how to do it."
"Well, you go back first."
After sending Yuan Ziyi away, Murong Fu said to Zhou Zhiruo again, "Zhiruo, go and kill a few people for me."
"Who?" Zhou Zhiruo asked confused.
Murong Fu's eyes flickered for a while, then he took out a list of names from his arms and said, "That's it. I'll ask people from Lingxiao Pavilion to assist you."
Zhou Zhiruo took it and took a look, and couldn't help being surprised, "These people... are all quite famous people in the martial arts world!"
Murong Fu did not explain, but simply said, "The war is coming soon. I don't want anyone to stir up trouble in Xiangyang City, so I must pull out all the nails in advance. By the way, you should put on makeup. It's best to wear night clothes."
, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, eradicate all these people."
Zhou Zhiruo didn't ask any questions, took the list and left in a hurry.
At this time, a figure hurried in, dressed in white, with a swaying and graceful figure, but it was Luo Bing. She entered the room, her eyes swept over Murong Fu, looked away, and asked coldly,
"Murong Fu, have you accomplished what you promised me?"
Murong Fu was stunned, "What's the matter?"
"Huh! You really forgot!" Luo Bing's expression became colder and colder, "You promised to find the fourth brother, but now? It's been so long and there is no news at all."
Murong Fu reacted immediately and couldn't help but said with a smile, "I only promised to help find your husband, but I didn't say that I would definitely find him. And even if I find him, I won't care about it now."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Luo Bing's expression tightened, "Have you found it yet?"
Murong Fu said with a half-smile, "What if we find it?"
Luo Bing was suffocated when she heard this. Ever since she met Murong Fu again, especially during this time in Xiangyang City, she had almost completely let herself go. As long as Murong Fu said a word, she would almost take whatever he wanted and let him do whatever he wanted.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she would take the initiative to climb onto Murong Fu's bed. Nowhere on her body was clean.
Murong Fu continued, "It makes no difference to you whether I see you or not, because you can't leave me, right?"
Luo Bing's eyes turned red, and he suddenly shouted, "Who said there is no difference? Who said I can't leave you!"
"Then why don't you dare to look at me?" Murong Fu sneered.
"You..." Luo Bing was speechless and crouched down with a painful expression, "I don't know, I really don't know why. As soon as I look into your eyes, I can't control myself. You must have cast some spell on me.
, it must be, you bad guy, why do you want to harm me?"
Murong Fu stood up and helped her up, "Actually, why don't you think about it, if I have such a magic, then all the women in the world will belong to me. If I have such a magic, won't all the men in the world surrender to me?"
My feet are under my feet? Then why should I defend the city with all my energy? When I stood at the tower, all the Mongols surrendered."
After Luo Bing heard this, he wanted to laugh a little, but he held it back and gave him a sideways look, "I don't care anyway, it was you who used evil methods to make me like this."
The corner of Murong Fu's mouth twitched, and then he smiled and said, "Okay then, just say so."
Luo Bing cried for a while, finally calmed down, and asked quietly, "Can you tell me the truth, is the fourth brother dead or alive?"
Today, Murong Fu has nothing to hide, "He is still alive and has been found."
"Where?" Luo Bing's tone was a little strange. He seemed a little happy, a little guilty, and a little disappointed. In short, it was complicated and difficult to understand.
Murong Fu smiled faintly, "What, you want to see him?"
Luo Bing was stunned. Yes, how could I go to see her husband now?
