The first thousand four hundred and fifty-nine chapters get a horse
"Of course it counts, I always keep my word!" Kublai Khan said seriously.
"Okay!" Huo Ayi agreed, "I hope the prince will keep his promise!"
Murong Fu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. He had just praised him for being cunning and clever, but he didn't expect that he would change back to his original state so quickly.
After the battle of Dayuan, the foundation has been destroyed, and a drama of seizing the direct descendants will soon be staged. It is possible that it will be divided into pieces. How can it still be able to deal with the Hui tribe? It’s fine if you don’t take the opportunity to make a fortune, Huo Ayi
He didn't even mention the surrender of the letter. He is simply an idiot.
If it were anyone else, Murong Fu would be too lazy to meddle in other people's business, but for the sake of Qingtong, Kasili, and Mu Zhuolun, he had to ask. After a moment of pondering, he said, "Fourth Prince, except that something is wrong
In addition to returning to the army to use troops, I should have signed a letter of surrender when I returned to the army to surrender. This matter..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Ayi immediately thought of it, "Yes, yes, yes, there is also a letter of surrender from my return to the Ministry. I also ask the Fourth Prince to return it."
A flash of disappointment flashed across Kublai Khan's face, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "That's how it should be."
"Okay, now that the conditions have been negotiated, let's ask the Fourth Prince to hand over the war horses." Murong Fu changed the subject and actually proposed to move the war horses immediately.
Kublai Khan's expression changed, "This is not allowed!"
Murong Fu's face darkened, "Why, the fourth prince wants to regret it?"
Kublai Khan's heart skipped a beat, and he considered his tone, "Mr. Murong, now that you and the Great Khan have not decided the outcome, is it too hasty to hand over the war horse so quickly? What if you take advantage of it and turn your back on me?"
how?"
"He is really an old fox, he is not ambiguous at all." Murong Fu cursed in his heart, and said with a gentle smile on his face, "The Fourth Prince's words are serious. I have always said what I say, so how can I deceive you?"
"Red lips and white teeth, of course it doesn't matter what you say." It was Military Master Liu who spoke.
Murong Fu glanced at this man and said, "I haven't asked you yet, have you?"
Before Military Advisor Liu spoke, Kublai Khan introduced him, "His name is Liu Bingzhong. He is a staff member in my palace. He is currently serving as a military advisor in my army."
Military Master Liu stroked his beard quite proudly.
Murong Fu sneered and said, "It turns out he is another dead traitor!"
Military Master Liu's face froze and turned into the color of pig liver, "You...you..."
Murong Fu didn't think it was a big deal at all, "Why, am I right? Anyone who betrays his nation and country is a traitor, worse than a dog."
"you……"
"Don't get excited, I haven't finished yet. For people like you, you should be allowed to taste the torture of the Jie and Zhou Dynasties. It's best to dig out the graves of your ancestors and expose them to the sun, so that they can know better and have children.
What kind of descendants are they?"
"you……"
Military Master Liu was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he pointed at Murong Fu with a trembling hand, unable to speak.
Kublai Khan hurriedly spoke to smooth things over, "Mr. Murong is merciful, but Military Master Liu is actually a man of great affection and righteousness. Although he served as my aide, he often advised me to be kind to the Han people. I did not dare to do so for a moment.
forget."
Military Master Liu's face became a little better now, but Murong Fu said again, "If you criticize this kind of person, it will stain my mouth."
"Poof!" Military Master Liu spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Kublai Khan helped him sit down and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Murong, let's get back to the topic and don't talk about anything else."
"That's true." Murong Fu chuckled and then said, "Does the prince not believe in me?"
Kublai Khan said calmly, "This has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not. I have heard about Mr. Murong's name for a long time, but this is the first time we are dealing with him. You should be careful in everything. What do you think, Mr. Murong?"
Murong Fu didn't answer and asked, "So you have to wait until Temujin is completely finished before you are willing to hand over the war horse to me?"
Of course this is not possible. Temujin has more than 300,000 troops, and it is estimated that there are still more than 200,000 left. If they are all dead, even if Kublai Khan gets Da Yuan, he will only be an empty frame. After pondering for a long time, he replied
He said, "When the Great Khan loses his troops and can no longer pose a threat to me, that's when I will make a deal with you."
Murong Fu's face turned cold when he heard this, "That's nonsense. I don't know how long it will take. If I leave, you will move your horse immediately. Where can I find you?"
"Can……"
"No, it's settled. I'll go back now to mobilize troops and make the deal right away."
There was anger hidden on Kublai Khan's face, but he could not express it, "Then Mr. Murong must give me some time. If I give you 150,000 war horses in such a grand manner, if the news spreads, I will immediately become the target of public criticism."
, how to inherit the throne!"
"That's your own business, you have to figure it out yourself," Murong Fu said without hesitation, and stood up quickly, "By the way, before the transaction is completed, I have to trouble the prince to come with me."
Kublai Khan was startled, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Xiangyang City, which you Khan has always wanted to visit." Murong Fu smiled faintly and pulled Kublai Khan out of the camp with great force.
Back in Xiangyang City, Murong Fu dispatched troops and generals in front of Kublai Khan. Although Kublai Khan was angry, he was relieved to see that he had no intention of going back on his words.
Murong Fu really did what he said. He immediately organized a large army at the north gate and mobilized a group of civilians to go out of the city to take horses. He told the outside world that they were going to steal the camp.
Kublai Khan was very cooperative and sent orders to mobilize the garrison troops, pretending to go to support Temujin. In fact, he had to cooperate. Murong Fu was with him throughout the whole process. If there was anything wrong, he would be mutilated in an instant.
at.
The transaction process went smoothly, but moving 150,000 war horses was a troublesome matter. There were wars in the other three gates of Xiangyang City, so the horses would definitely not be able to enter the city, and there was no place to put so many horses. Murong Fu had to let the army and civilians
The war horses were led to a plain more than fifty miles north of Xiangyang City and temporarily resettled.
Kublai Khan looked at so many war horses being taken away, and he trembled with distress. These were originally his! And Murong Fu looked at the remaining 50,000 war horses with the same burning eyes, but in the end he gave up.
He still understands the principle of giving up when something is good.
After all this work, it was already bright and the shouts of death outside the east gate had quieted down.
Murong Fu sent Kublai Khan away with a smile. At this time, part of Tianshu's army had returned. He immediately ordered them to be transferred to guard the north gate. With Huo Ayi's returning army, he was not afraid that Kublai Khan would take the opportunity to seize Xiangyang City. In fact,
Kublai Khan was still afraid that he would go back on his word and seize the remaining horses, so after returning, he immediately ordered the army to break up camp and withdraw from the area thirty miles away from Xiangyang City.
In the early morning, the streets had not yet been lifted from martial law. Two people were walking leisurely on the cold street. One was Murong Fu, and the other was Wu Xingyun, the Tianshan child grandmother. Murong Fu was frowning in thought, while Wu Xingyun didn't seem to know how to speak, and his expression was a bit...
Awkward.
Finally, Murong Fu came to his senses, noticed something strange about her, and couldn't help but reached out and pinched her cheek, "What's wrong?"
"Go!" Wu Xingyun slapped his bad hand away and said in a natural manner, "You still have a way. You drove away the 80,000-strong army without any effort, and got 150,000 war horses in vain. From now on, your Murong family will own them.
With so many cavalry, which force in the world can be your opponent?"
Murong Fu chuckled softly when he heard this, "Kublai Khan is not stupid either. You think he suffered a big loss, but that's not the case. If I hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have gotten those 50,000 troops and 50,000 horses in vain."
"Oh?" Wu Xingyun was stunned, "But why?"
Murong Fu pondered and said, "Do you think Temujin, a vegetarian, would not know the virtues of his grandson?"
Wu Xingyun became even more confused after hearing this, "What do you mean?"
Murong Fu explained, "Temujin had sent experts here a long time ago. If Kublai Khan blatantly rebels, his head will be missing. I took him to Xiangyang City to protect him."
"A master?" Wu Xingyun's expression changed upon hearing this, "It's impossible. I've been keeping watch outside. How can there be any masters?"
Murong Fu smiled and did not explain. Although Wu Xingyun had condensed his true energy, it had only been more than half a year, and the person lurking in the dark was a master among masters. How could she have noticed it?
Changing the topic, he asked, "By the way, you haven't said why you are here? And before, I gave you the new army of the Sun Moon God Sect to stop the returning army, but you let them do it quietly.
I touched the outside of Xiangyang City."
Wu Xingyun rolled his eyes at him and said quietly, "If you ask a two-legged one to chase a four-legged one, how can you possibly catch up?"
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then listened to her continue, "When the Sun Moon God Sect's army arrived at Piaomiao Peak, the army back home had already set off. I personally led the army to pursue it for several days, but there was no trace at all. In desperation, I
I had no choice but to throw away the army and catch up alone."
"Then you should send me a message first so that I can be prepared."
"Who said I didn't send a message? I sent it three or four times along the way. Why, you didn't receive it?"
Murong Fu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "How did you send the letter?"
Wu Xingyun spread his hands, "I didn't bring the carrier pigeon, so I can only go to your Crystal Palace stronghold to deliver the message."
"This is impossible!" Murong Fu shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the Crystal Palace to hide such a big thing and not report it. Is there a traitor?"
It's really strange for him to say that he has not received any news about Huibu before. He sent people to inquire but there was no response. He has been busy some time ago. Now thinking about it, it seems that there has been no news from Huibu's stronghold for a long time.
Sent back.
"Could it be that Kublai Khan besieged the Crystal Palace stronghold?" Murong Fu thought of this possibility, and soon he called Huo Ayi over. After asking, he learned that it was either Kublai Khan or Huo Ayi who did it.
Come to think of it, how could Kublai Khan know the location of the Crystal Palace stronghold? It turned out to be this "brother-in-law's traitor"!
"You are honest, you dare to tell me such a thing!" Murong Fu looked at the resolute Huo Ayi in front of him and said coldly.
Huo Ayi looked ashamed, "It is true that what I did was unethical, but there was no way at the time. I had to win the trust of the fourth prince, otherwise he would definitely consume the returning army as cannon fodder! I'm sorry!"
"Humph!" Murong Fu looked at this brother-in-law, really angry, but helpless, could he really kill him?
