Chapter 686: Two Things to Do Now
Murong Hong's current palace is the former Ningyuan County Guard's Mansion, compared to the other four countries on this continent, it is undoubtedly extremely shabby, and even the mansions of some wealthy families are far inferior, but Murong Hong doesn't care, compared with the place he used to call the palace in the depths of the mountains, it has now been greatly improved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the mountains, almost all the barbarians lived in wooden houses, bamboo houses, thatched huts or caves, even if he was the emperor of Dayan, he only polished the stones, built some rough houses, painted with yellow paint, and called the palace.
The important thing is not the residence, but the power in his hands, Murong Hong knows this very well, as long as he has enough strength in his hands, even if he lives in a shack, he can still call the wind and rain.
Just like Li Zhi of the Qin State, he has lived in a small hut on a lonely mountain all his life, but he is famous all over the world, and in the Qin State, he has more prestige than the emperor.
"Teacher, there is such a roundworm in my stomach, it is very awkward to think about it!" Standing in front of the map, the black charcoal pen encircles the four counties of the northern land and the mountains behind them, and at first glance, the territory is even better than that of the Yue Kingdom. Murong Hong poked his finger at the place where Fuyuan was, facing Wanquan Dao.
Stroking his long beard, Wan Quan smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, since it is a pest that endangers the body, it is only right to knock it down." ”
"I can't wait." Murong Hong stared at the map excitedly.
"If you want to hurry, you can't get there!" Looking at this disciple who he taught single-handedly, the down-and-out Xiucai of Yuejing City persuaded Wanquan: "Jiang Haokun has been in Fuyuan for many years, as a rather ambitious guy, he has endured for many years, and he has been operating for many years, Fuyuan is up and down, all over his henchmen, even if it is the hearts of the people, it is also on his side, Your Majesty, rashly making a move, it is likely to cause a fire on both sides, even if we can swallow it in one bite with our current ability, but it will always hurt some vitality, Fuyuan is the center of the four counties, if it is chaotic, even if we take it, it will be a big trouble." So, you have to take it one step at a time. ”
"How long will it take?" Murong Hong sighed: "According to me, waving a large army to fight over is the most bento!" ”
"If we wave our troops to attack Jiang Haokun, we can only be happy with the Ming army on the border, and the snipe and clam are competing for the benefit of the fisherman, we can't make wedding clothes for others, as for how far it has been carried out, then you have to ask Murong Jing."
Murong Jing coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Haokun has been having a hard time since the defeat of the army, especially Jiang Lai's death, which is an extremely important blow to him. Jiang Haokun's own son is not very angry, this Jiang Lai is his own nephew, and he is also the first fierce general under his command, but in the battle of Luohe, he was beheaded by the Ming army on the spot, which is a great loss for Jiang Haokun, connecting several defeats, so that Jiang Haokun has accumulated a little money over the years has gone to seventy-seven eighty-eight. ”
"So I've always tended to use troops directly, swallow him in one bite, as long as the plan is right and the blow is successful, I should be able to keep Fu Yuan from chaos." Murong Hong clapped his hands and shouted.
"Your Majesty, although Jiang Haokun was defeated, he ruled Fuyuan for many years, and now Fuyuan is still accustomed to obeying his rule, those foolish people don't know the mystery of this, in their eyes, Jiang Haokun is their heaven. But people who really understand will naturally start to look for a way out for themselves a long time ago. Murong Jing said.
"We're talking to these people who understand." Murong Hong said with a smile.
"Exactly, because these people who understand are the backbone of Fuyuan." Murong Jing said: "Now, we are almost about to hollow out Jiang Haokun's foundation, and there is only one last hurdle left, and that is the army." ”
Wan Quan nodded slightly: "Although there is only an army left, it is the most critical place, Jiang Haokun began to recruit troops on a large scale in the county after the last defeat, and although the other three counties in the north are under our control, but because these Yue people are afraid of us, there are many people who have fled to Fuyuan, after these people have escaped, life is difficult, and most of them have joined the army in order to have enough to eat, which makes Jiang Haokun's army expand compared to before the war." ”
"A bunch of grass chickens and dog ears." Murong Hong laughed and said, "I'm afraid that when I go to the battlefield, as soon as the war drums sound and the horn blows, they will be." ”
"Although so, this is also a force to be reckoned with, Your Majesty, if these troops can be used by us, we will greatly increase our strength, under Jiang Haokun, they are sheep, but if they fall into our hands, can't we turn them into wolves?" Wan Quan smiled: "It depends on who is taking them, don't you say?" ”
"This is extreme, I want Murong Kang, last year under the Ming army even suffered defeats, but then went to a Tuoba Yan, just brought more than a thousand horses, convenient newspapers are frequent, although the fight is some small battles and small conflicts, but its ability to command the troops, but remarkable, I read their military report, this Tuoba Yan is eclectic with soldiers, very flexible, good training, over time, will become a general of my Dayan." When Murong Hong mentioned Tuoba Yan, he couldn't help but praise it.
"This is a blessing from Your Majesty." Murong Jing said with a smile, this Tuoba Yan was brought back by him from Yuejing City, he just thought that this guy was bold and careful, and his martial arts cultivation was not bad, but he never thought that Tuoba Yan after returning also had a good talent in the army, and for him, this was an honor.
"So, you already have a plan for their army." Murong Hong asked with a smile.
"Yes. As soon as Jiang Lai died, Jiang Haokun had to push his overwhelmed son Jiang Yuan to the forefront, but this made some of the generals under Jiang Haokun's original command dissatisfied. And we focused on the number one general under Jiang Haokun's command. Murong Jing said.
"Yuan Pu!" Murong Hong blurted out that Murong Hong was clear about the important people under Jiang Haokun's command.
"Yes, Yuan Pu. As soon as Jiang Lai died, the army controlled by Yuan Pu was the largest force among them. Yuan Pu's army was hit hard when attacking Tzu Chi, but the foundation is still there, and these remaining troops can also be called veterans after experiencing this war, after supplementing, its strength, compared with Jiang Haokun himself, is not much better, which makes Jiang Haokun how to put his mind at ease, so vigorously support his son to rise, hoping to contain Yuan Pu, and in terms of personnel replenishment, food distribution, and weapon rationing, Yuan Pu wears small shoes everywhere, Let Yuan Pu make trouble several times in the army because he can't get food and pay in time, Yuan Pu is already extremely dissatisfied, we, as well as Qi people Qin Li, are now working Yuan Pu. As long as Yuan Pu falls to us, the matter of Fuyuan will be settled. Wanquan gently blew the foam in the tea bowl, and the clouds were light and gentle.
Hearing Wan Quan mention Qin Li, Murong Hong's brows furrowed slightly.
"Teacher, you say, how credible are Qi people?"
Wan Quan took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and looked at Murong Hong: "Your Majesty, Qi people can be trusted very much, or they may not believe at all." ”
"How do you say that? How does this make sense? ”
"Why should the Qi people help us?" Wan Quan looked at the two of them, asked a rhetorical question, and without waiting for them to answer, he continued: "Because I am against the Ming people." What we want to take away is the Ming people's country. The Ming Dynasty is now under the rule of Qin Feng, and it has begun to show its fierceness, and an extremely aggressive, belligerent country is growing up beside the Qi State, and this country still has an inexplicable relationship with the Chu State, the great enemy of the Qi State. The Qi people are starting to worry, so they are not helping us, but helping themselves. They hope that we can confront the Ming people for a long time, and we can fight for a long time, which is in their best interests, and from this point of view, we can trust them very much. ”
"Where do you start if you can't be trusted?" Murong Hong asked.
"Quite simply, it's up to us." Wan Quan exhaled heavily: "Qin Li is now working hard, running east and west, for what, in order to make us stronger, that is to say, until now, the Qi people still think that our strength is impossible to confront the Ming people, so we must strengthen our strength." If we succeed in the first battle and can form a real confrontation with the Ming people, then the support from the Qi people will be more and stronger, and they can even directly send troops to attack Shayang, Taiping City and other places in the Ming Kingdom. But if we are useless and beaten by the Ming people and have no power to fight back, they will abandon us like clogs, and they will not look at us again. In that respect, they are not credible at all. ”
"I, Murong Hong, have always relied only on myself and others, how can I succeed?" Murong Hong smiled and said: "The Qi people look down on me so much, when I defeat Qin Feng and take the Ming Kingdom, I will let them know that our Great Yan will only be more aggressive than the Ming people, and I will make them regret supporting me." ”
Wan Quan chuckled: "Your Majesty, that's for later." Now the truth is like this, the Ming people surround us but do not fight, have their own calculations and interests, our strength is indeed not good now, but it is not without the power to fight back, Zhengyang's matter, if successful, we will be able to hit the Ming State by surprise, as long as we can lay down Zhengyang, threaten Shayang, then Qi will inevitably be unable to hold back the troops to capture Shayang, as long as he sends troops, it is difficult to recover, and the Ming State tore the skin, only at that time, we can really say that there is a chance to win. And now, the most important thing for us is to do two things well, first, pull Zhengyang Livi, Ge Xiang to the water, and join our camp. Second, knock out the roundworm in His Majesty's stomach. ”
The three people in the room all burst out laughing.
Everything will be fine, and all three are full of confidence.
