Liu Muzhi hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at the torch that was like a long dragon that had gone away, and said indifferently: "That depends on the progress of the front army, this time General Liu took away 15,000 elite soldiers, accelerated the speed, and can reach the edge of the Yellow River within ten days, if everything goes well, get Yecheng, that is, a matter of a month, and we will send troops within half a month, I hope it will be time." ”

Liu Yuqi said: "Why do you have to wait for half a month for so long? ”

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "You have to wait for the grain and grass promised to Fu Pi to be in place, can you raise food as fast as Liu Yi's speed when those families in Jiankang City raise food?" ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "I hope there won't be any demon moths, Hebei, it's not so easy to go." Now, it depends on how long Jiang Rang can hide in Yecheng. ”

Yecheng, Fu Pi Marshal's Mansion.

On the empty hall, there were only three people, Fu Pi's face was gloomy, sitting behind the handsome case, and above the hall, the fully armored general Yang Ying and Jiang Rang, dressed as a scribe, and Jiang Rang, who was dressed as a lupine scarf, stood side by side, Yang Ying's expression was a little unnatural, although it was autumn and winter, it was sweaty and heavy, only Jiang let his expression be calm, gently shaking the feather fan, and not moving like a mountain.

Fu Pi's eyes were bloodshot and red, he looked at Jiang Rang, and said in a deep voice: "Brainstorm, the Jin army is here, how should our army deal with itself?" ”

Jiang Rang said calmly: "This is expected, last time our army asked the Jin army for help, less than a month, their army arrived at the Yellow River, it is almost a little faster, but it also shows the sincerity of the Jin State, and the subordinates think that it is time for us to fulfill the contract." ”

Fu Pi bit his lip: "But when the Jin army came, they didn't fight the Yan army, but first attacked our army's Sang Fortress stationed in Fangtou, forcibly seized Fangtou, and then marched out of Liyang, so that they controlled the ferries on both sides of the Yellow River, did they come to save us, or did they come to drive us away?" ”

Jiang Rang smiled slightly: "The Jin army is doing things according to the agreement, no matter what, now our army is trapped in Yecheng, and the outside of the city is full of Murong Trai's territory and army, if we want to fight, the Jin army and Murong Trai's Yan thieves will fight first, we just need to sit and collect the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Fu Pi's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Jiang Rang without saying a word.

Yang Ying suddenly thought of something, took out a roll of sweaty Tang newspaper from his arms, and said: "Changle Gong, here is a handwritten letter from the Jin general Liu Gaozhi, which was sent back by General Sang's captives, he said that he came according to the agreement, but our army forbade them to cross the Yellow River, and he would only send troops to attack if his persuasion was ineffective, out of goodwill, he sent all the prisoners and ordnance back, just to prove to us that he came for the matter of the covenant, and still regards us as friends." ”

Fu Pi suddenly sneered: "Hmph, friend?!" What a friend, without saying hello, you will directly attack the defenders of our army and seize the territory of our army? What kind of friend is this? ”

Jiang Rang sighed: "His Royal Highness the Duke of Changle, his subordinates think that the Jin army can't be blamed for this matter, General Sang should know about the alliance between the two families, the Jin army went north to fight the Yan thieves, he can get out of the way first, even if he doesn't know this alliance, he can ask His Highness first, and he can't take the initiative to fight the Jin army." ”

Fu Pi patted the handsome case and stood up: "Jiang Rang!" Which side are you on? The officers and men of our army loyally defended the territory and were attacked by the so-called allies, not only do you not accuse the treacherous Jin army, but you say that General Sang's is not? Are you from Great Qin or from Jin? ”

Jiang Rang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the loyalty of your subordinates should be the best proof in the past few years, the Yan army is besieging the city, and even many clans of Great Qin have surrendered, but your subordinates are trapped in the lonely city with you, never abandoning them, and offering advice, aren't these enough to prove the loyalty of your subordinates?" ”

Fu Pi sneered: "That's because your opponent is the Xianbei people, Ding Ling people, in the face of these cruel and barbaric alien races, you, the Han people, are naturally with our Daqin, but now it's different, the Jin Kingdom is your homeland, it's your kindred, they are here, you naturally don't have to have the same heart and a boat with me!" ”

Jiang Rang's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, although you are the commander, you can't doubt the loyalty of your subordinates for no reason, the enemy is current, and such suspicion of your subordinates will cause infighting in the city!" ”

Fu Pi said coldly: "Yes, if I don't suspect you, in a few days, my head will be put on the head of Yecheng!" Where's the light?! ”

Jiang Rang and Yang Ying's faces changed at the same time, and they saw a fat man in his fifties, dressed in armor, walking out from behind the screen behind the handsome case, his figure was tall, but he was slightly hunched back, looking like he was nodding his head at any time, his hands were caged in his sleeves, his triangular eyes were shining coldly, and on his white face, there was no beard, and anyone could see that this person was a eunuch.

But Jiang Rang's palm, but cold sweat broke out, because this eunuch is not an ordinary person, his name is Guangzuo, known as Tongtian God Eye, but he is the big leader of the secret spy system of the entire Qin State in the Kanto region, in the past, Fu Luo and Fu Lang, the two famous Qin clans, held hundreds of thousands of troops in the Kwantung region, and tried to rebel, but their anti-flag was not displayed, and Guangzuo's intelligence arrived on Fu Jian's desk, and it was precisely because of this that the rebellion would be quickly quelled.

What's more, it is said that the decisive battle of Wang Meng's destruction of the Qianyan Empire also has the invisible shadow of this person behind him, Yecheng has besieged the city for several years, and dozens of conspiracies in the city have been cracked by this person.

And if it weren't for the fact that this person gave him a redundant official position, went out of the city to contact local powerful factions in Hebei and turned to the Qin State, Jiang Rang and others would never dare to negotiate peace with the Jin State privately.

Jiang Rang swallowed a bubble of saliva, and said calmly: "Guang Servant, you have returned from Hebei, congratulations, you have made a great contribution this trip." ”

Guangzuo sneered: "I went out to appease all parts of Hebei, but it was a failure, not only did not surrender a city, but almost sent this old life to Hebei, what merit?" ”

Yang Ying hurriedly said: "You can't say that, you can't say that, you are a servant who is dedicated to the country, born and died, there is no merit and hard work, besides, at least a dozen states and counties have also responded to the Great Qin army, and you can't say that your work is useless because of the final failure." ”

A cold glint flashed in Guangzuo's eyes, and he said gloomily: "Probably some people wish I would never return, so that their treacherous plans would not be revealed, but it's a pity that my ears and eyes didn't become deaf and blind when I left Yecheng, two adults, look at who is behind you?" ”
