Shi Yue had always been stationed in Shandong and Huaibei, but because the connection with Guanzhong was basically cut off, the area under his control had almost become an enclave.

Huaibei, Shandong, is a rich place, both the danger of mountains and rivers, and the rao of products, in fact, it has the conditions for self-reliance, but Shi Yue is still loyal to Fu Jian, and at present, the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south is in habitual infighting, and there is no strength to go north again for the time being, Zhai Bin of Henan after occupying many states and counties in Henan, is now addicted to the king of the mountains, and has no time to take care of it, so this short moment, Shi Yue's 100,000 army has become a complete mobile force.

Originally, he sent his most trusted sixth brother Murong De to lead the army to garrison Zhanghe, just to block the possible Shi Yue Department, but both Murong Trai and Murong De insisted that even if Shi Yue dared to come, he would not dare to come in person, and even if he came in person, he would not dare to bring too many people.

The reason is very simple, the core of Shandong is Guanggu City, far away from Yecheng and close to Shouyang in the south, if Shi Yue comes out of the empty nest, it is equivalent to a large area of land in Huaibei, Shandong will be vacant, even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in internal strife, in the face of such huge interests, I am afraid that it will temporarily give up the previous suspicions, and swallow this piece of fat first.

The fundamental reason for the infighting is because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and if we can ensure that the pie is made bigger, then all parties involved in the infighting will probably be able to accept it, and it will be a big deal to swallow it and start the infighting.

Therefore, Murong De also brought 5,000 men to arm, because he knew that the main force had to stay in Murong Chui's hands, and the coach must have a reserve team in his hands as a matter of emergency.

From common sense, it is right to think so, and it is completely in line with the basic tactical thinking, but they forget that now is the intermittent battle for the survival of the Great Qin Empire, and what needs to be considered is the national fortune, not the gains and losses of one city and one place.

Li Rifei showed his terribleness at this time.

At the beginning, he persuaded Murong Chong that he was willing to go to Shi Yue in person, and persuaded Shi Yue to risk losing Guanggu to besiege Yecheng, and when he said this, Murong Chong was stupid, and all the generals under Murong Chong thought he was crazy.

What are you kidding, Murong Chong is the opposite of Fu Jian, and Shi Yue is Fu Jian's loyal minister, you actually said such a thing, what do you want to do? Do you want to sell everyone to get rich?

When everyone was talking, Li Rifei still insisted on his opinion, and finally, Murong Chong said at that time: "You need to give me a reason!" ”

Li Rifei said calmly: "If the king wants to divide the territory for a while, then there are many generals to serve and have the help of humble duties, at least it is not difficult to cross the state and county, but if you want to try the possibility of chasing the Central Plains, you must do it!" ”

"Why?" Murong Chong asked sharply.

"Because of the Murong family, there can only be one spokesperson, if the adults are unwilling, in fact, it is still too late to serve Murong Trai now!" Li Rifei said without mercy.

Murong Chong was silent, Li Rifei was right, the strength of the Murong family was very strong, but? One day can't accommodate two days, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, the so-called snake can't be headless, and now there are only two people who are taking the lead in raising troops, Murong Chong and Murong Chui, if they are not their own heads, it is Murong Chui, it is very simple.

If he wants to be the leader, if he wants to integrate Murong Trai's strength and let Murong Trai serve him, it is also impossible, he has more soldiers and horses than himself, his prestige is higher than his own, and he is an uncle, where is the reason for an uncle to defect to his nephew.

Then Murong Chong had no choice but to kill him.

At this time, someone asked: "Why can't you find anyone, you must find Shi Yue!" ”

Li Rifei's answer was also very direct: "Relying on us alone, we can't beat Murong Chui!" ”

"Can't you rely on someone else?"

"It's too late, the Tuoba Xianbei forces haven't had time to integrate, the Southern Dynasty is too far away, Shi Yue is the best choice!" Li Rifei said calmly.

"What if Shi Yue beats Murong Trai and then beats us?" The skeptics remain unrelenting.

"Can't we beat them!" Li Rifei smiled, and the smile was very weird.

After speaking, Li Rifei looked at Murong Chong and said: "I'm going to Guanggu, whether it succeeds or not, I will go back on the twelfth, if I can't come back on the twelfth...... Li Rifei was silent for a while, and said: "That means that things have changed, please speed up the department to the north, go to the clouds for temporary refuge, according to the old ministry of the country, in order to protect yourself!" ”

After saying this, Li Rifei looked at Murong Chong silently, waiting for his decision.

Whether a master has the grace to let his henchmen entrust all the hopes of his group to the enemy, this is a test for him.

Murong Chong thought for a moment, he only thought about it for a moment, and then smiled: "I promise you, go!" All the best, just say what you need! ”

"Just rely on my mouth!"

After speaking, Li Rifei glanced at it and said, "Please prepare for battle quickly, rest the soldiers, and we'll see you later!" ”

In order not to waste time, Li Rifei patted his horse and left, leaving Murong Chong to watch his back silently.

Such a move, of course, some people will not trust him, and he also said small things in front of Murong Chong, but although Murong Chong is young, he can still handle it in the end, and he ordered no one to discuss this matter, and he violated the military law, and also ordered the whole army to make the final pre-war preparations, for his own grand cause, Murong Chong also had to gamble.

Convince Shi Yue's work, naturally it is not smooth, no matter what Li Rifei says, Shi Yue just disagrees, the reason is very simple, in Shi Yue's view, that Murong Chong is also a chaotic minister and thief, and the Murong family is a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, now that you are in internal strife, it's really good, don't be too cool to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, how can I go over to help you.

Shi Yue's staff were even more sneering at him, but? Li Rifei didn't care about this, because these had long been expected by him, and he believed that as long as he said a word, Shi Yue would definitely be tempted in the end.

His words were: "Murong Trai and Murong Chong, whose disaster is also deep, the general goes out of the army, the worst is to lose Huainan, but to get a Hebei, and if Murong Chui dies, Huaibei can be regained, if Hebei is lost, even if Shandong and Henan, can hold on to when!" ”

This passage made everyone present fall into deep thought, but after thinking about it for a while, they had to admit that what Li Rifei said was very reasonable.

Now Murong Trai is besieging Yecheng with all his might, Yecheng is already very dangerous, once it falls, it will be equivalent to the loss of Hebei, in that case, Hebei will fall, Murong Trai will be equivalent to recovering most of the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the prestige will inevitably be greatly boosted, in that case, Shi Yue wants to defend Shandong alone, I am afraid it will be difficult.

But on the contrary, if Shi Yue cooperated with Murong Chong this time to eliminate Murong Chong, Murong Chong's strength was limited, and he would definitely not be able to swallow the entire Hebei.

As for the problem of the back road that Shi Yue was worried about, Li Rifei couldn't be more honest, even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent an army to the Northern Expedition at this time, what about it, they would take Huaibei back at most, but the Huaibei generation is beneficial to the Northern Army, not to the Southern Army, if Murong Chui is eliminated, it is equivalent to basically stabilizing the North, and when the time comes, it will be enough to recapture it, for the Northern Army, it is not difficult for Huaibei to recapture it.

After figuring out this joint, Shi Yue smiled and said, "As Mr. said, if Murong is defeated, what should General Murong Chong and our army do!" ”

This issue is also very important, and it is now clear that they are using each other, but it must also be clarified what the two sides care about.

Obviously, since he Murong Chong rebelled, it was clear that he also wanted to recover the Great Yan Kingdom and seek revenge from His Majesty the Heavenly King, so it was basically impossible to recruit him.

But Shi Yue has to give it a try, what if it succeeds? In military and political affairs, we must firmly remember one thing, never say never.

Li Rifei smiled mysteriously and spit out eight words: "Brothers climb the mountain, each work hard!" ”

Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Li Rifei's words are really subtle words, and everything is in plain sight.

Now it's cooperation and cooperation, and when Murong Trai is eliminated, at that time, let's rely on their abilities! You have to have the ability to exterminate us, count yourself ruthless, but if Shi Yue is eaten by us at that time, don't complain.

After Shi Yue finished laughing, he suddenly said solemnly: "Point soldiers!" ”

After Li Rifei left, Murong Chong began to be silent, he agreed on the twelfth, in fact, when it was the tenth day, many people were impatient, and they were in front of Murong Chong, either saying that Li Rifei had rebelled, or that this was Li Rifei's conspiracy at all, or suggesting that Murong Chong make other plans quickly, in short, there were no good words at all.

But for all this, Murong Chong just said: "I believe in him!" ”

However, when it was noon on the twelfth day, even Murong Chong was a little skeptical about why he hadn't come back.

According to Li Rifei's previous instructions, if there is no news at this time, the whole army should quickly move to Yunzhong, a place where the Qin Empire's strength is weak, to avoid the limelight for the time being, and this idea has been approved by many people up and down, for the sake of insurance, Murong Chong still ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and make the necessary preparations, if Li Rifei returns, he will rush to Murong Chui according to the plan, otherwise he will move quickly.

The sun in the west is about to go down, and the whole army is already impatient, at this time, even Murong Chong is a little cold, it seems that Li Rifei will really not come back, it seems that he still loses himself after all.

Finally, looking at the sunset, Murong Chong sighed and was about to give the order to transfer, but found a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from afar, and the sound of horses' hooves was so familiar that the whole army did not need to be mobilized, and let out a loud cheer.

He returned, finally at the last moment.

This is also doomed to the outcome of the battle of Murong Chui's siege of Yecheng this time.

Those who have mental arithmetic and no intentions win.
