Chapter 140: Crisis

After hearing this, Murong Feng stepped forward, pointed to the map on the table, and replied:

"Your Majesty, please see, after Yan Shuo used trickery to conquer the border city, the army will divide into two roads and continue to travel north until the two cities of Zhongliang and Yaonan, where you will meet the real main army of my empire,"

With that, he traced his finger along the route marked on the map and continued:

"And even here, that is, in the southern region of the empire, after a rare heavy rain, although there is a fall of water to wash the yellow sand, providing a good opportunity for the guards to march north, but there will still be strong winds on the road from Dingbian to Zhongliang and Yaonan, Your Majesty, you also know that the empire is bound to change the climate in the early winter, and even the people who have lived in Dayan all their lives are helpless against it, so they can only abandon their homes and go to the city to avoid the wind, and for more than two hundred years, the country has never reached the north of Dingbian, and the march is far away at this time, and it encounters climate change, The soldiers must have been cowardly, wanting to retreat to Pingyan and no longer go north, so for the defense of the country, the general trend has gone, and it is impossible to go north in a short time. ”

Emperor Murong Dan smiled slightly after hearing this, nodded, and replied: "That's right, it's just that I want to know why Wan Yan Shuo wants to establish such a great prestige for Murong He in the army?" ”

After hearing this, Murong Feng withdrew his gaze from the map, looked at the emperor, and arched his hand: "Because Wanyan Shuo hopes that Murong He can increase the morale of his soldiers."

Before the words fell, he saw Murong Dan's eyes suddenly flash, and he waved his hand to stop Murong Feng from continuing, and after pondering for a while, an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face, he shook his head and laughed in a low voice:

"I know why Wan Yan Shuo deliberately established his prestige for Murong He, hehe, I'm afraid this is not Wan Yan Shuo's original intention at all."

Murong Feng looked puzzled and said in surprise: "Forgive the ministers for being ignorant and don't understand what the emperor means. ”

Murong Dan was silent for a while before slowly spit out two words: "Checks and balances." ”

Murong Feng's brows furrowed deeply after hearing this, his eyes flashed, as if something had pierced his heart, he raised his head and looked at Murong Dan in front of him, as if in an instant, there was an illusion.

Although the two monarchs and ministers are close at hand, in fact, there is an abyss in the middle, which cannot be crossed.

He sighed deeply in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he bowed and said, "The minister still doesn't understand, I hope Your Majesty will teach you." ”

After hearing this, the emperor turned his head to look at Murong Feng, there seemed to be a strange light flashing in the depths of his eyes, he took a step forward, came to the prime minister's side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Aiqing has a lot of dealings with envoys from various countries, so he naturally knows that the power struggle in Luojing City of the Han Kingdom is extremely complicated, and the emperor Liu Zhuang is good at the art of checks and balances, it seems that Liu Xiu has the essence of his father, and he placed Murong He in the army, just to prevent Wan Yanshuo from having bad intentions."

Speaking of this, he looked at Murong Feng with a smile and said, "Nanban has always been scheming and suspicious, and the emperor's ministers guard against each other, I think this is not enough!" The country of Yan is not governed by me alone, but also inseparable from the merits of your ministers, you have worked hard for the country, how can I doubt you. ”

Murong Feng looked frightened and grateful after hearing this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and saluted, and sobbed: "The minister is terrified!" The ministers are determined to do their best for the empire and die! For the emperor, for the community, the liver and brain are smeared! Banzai! ”

After speaking, he kowtowed one after another, the sound was loud and there was a sound of bumping.

Murong Dan's eyes flashed, he took a step forward, helped Murong Feng up, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Why did Aiqing say this!" I am not the emperor of the Southern Barbarians, and I will never doubt you as long as you are loyal to me. ”

Murong Feng's heart moved after hearing this, he secretly gritted his teeth, and replied: "Minister, you will never dare to have two hearts!" Please rest assured. ”

Murong Dan nodded and smiled silently.

After the two were silent for a long time, Murong Feng coughed lightly, walked to the table, looked at the map and said: "Your Majesty, now that Yan Shuo has laid a fixed edge, if nothing else, he will continue to go north soon, I don't know what arrangements you have for the emperor?" ”

Murong Dan didn't think about it after hearing this, and said: "I used Dingbian and 60,000 border troops as bait, just to let Wanyan Shuo's army go north, what I have to do now is to wait for the guards to come to Zhongliang and Yaonan City, and when the time comes, I will let Liu Xiu see what is the Yan State Iron Army." ”

Murong Feng subconsciously looked at the map, only to see that the places marked by the emperor on the map had many symbols that did not know what they were.

Although he didn't understand the exact meaning of the logo, Murong Feng could also see that those symbols surrounded the two cities of Zhongliang and Yaonan.

It was like a net that surrounded the two cities.

Seeing that Murong Feng was silent for a long time, bowing his head thoughtfully, the emperor smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, looked in the direction of the map, and said slowly after a while: "Above this vast continent, between heaven and earth, the only one who can stand on the highest place in the world is me." ”

Murong Feng hurriedly bowed his head and wanted to salute, but was stopped by the emperor, only to hear him continue:

"I still need Aiqing to help me."

Murong Feng bowed his head and said yes, and the emperor laughed-

Yan State border town, Dingbian City.

At this time, sitting in the position of the chief general was the chief general of the Central Route Army of the Patriotic Army, Wan Yanshuo.

The other generals were divided into the middle lane and the auxiliary road, and sat down on both sides of Wan Yan Shuo in turn.

Wan Yan Shuo sat in his seat with a calm face, looking at the generals below who were excitedly discussing with each other and showing off because of the heavy calm side of the enemy country that had never been set foot in more than two hundred years.

They had been on the side for some time, but their mood did not seem to have dissipated with the passage of time.

This is the farthest place that the Patriotic Army has passed through for hundreds of years, and it will continue to go deeper in a few days.

This is enough for them to go down in history and sing for generations to come.

After a long time like this, Wan Yanshuo saw that everyone was still discussing the battle situation of the day, the scenery in Dingbian City, as well as the city's defense, finance and taxation, the population of the people, and even the northbound walking route, etc., Wan Yanshuo shook his head slightly, cleared his throat, and focused everyone's eyes on himself.

The noise of the crowd gradually subsided, and they turned their heads to look at their boss.

The young man in front of him didn't seem to have much effort, and led them to attack the route that had been running north for hundreds of years.

Even at this time, his face did not show a look of joy, as if he did not pay attention to the matter of conquering the fixed edge.

His ambition is unfathomable.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wan Yanshuo smiled slightly, glanced around at everyone, and said first: "Mr. Murong is sick and is recuperating in the mansion at this time, so he won't be here today." ”

After everyone listened, they nodded, and a few people turned their heads, exchanged heads with each other, and after the discussion meeting was over, they went to visit Murong Mansion together.

Wan Yan Shuo coughed lightly, interrupted everyone's discussion, and said: "I received a commendation from His Royal Highness the King of England in Pingyan City last night. ”

Everyone was beaming with joy and chanting Chitose in unison.

After they calmed down, Wan Yan Shuo continued: "Your Highness also sent an order, saying that in early winter, the climate of Yan Country was abnormal, and while the weather was not too cold now, and it had just rained heavily, the wind and sand became smaller, which was suitable for our army to attack, so I asked us to immediately divide our troops into two ways and continue to go north." ”

Although everyone was silent after hearing this, their faces were a little ugly.

Seeing this, Wan Yan Shuo frowned, and was just about to speak, but before he could speak, he saw Liang Jian hesitate for a moment and then stood up, bowed to Wan Yan Shuo, and said:

"General Qiyu, due to the lack of preparation before, our army's food consumption is more than twice that of the past march, and in order to speed up the march, a lot of baggage was left on the way, and now in Dingbian City, our army's grain and grass are probably only enough for us for half a month, and if we continue to march, I am afraid that even ten days will not be able to support it."

After hearing this, Yan Shuo's eyes froze, and he looked at Liang Jian and said: "Mr. Murong said that in the short term, no matter how strong the north wind is, there will be no more yellow sand raging, you will immediately send troops now to transport all the heavy grain and grass left on the way to Dingbian, in this way, how long can you add to the army?" ”

Liang Jian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "There is not much grain and grass on the road, even if all of them are transferred, it will only be enough for the army to last a month." ”

After hearing this, Yan Shuo took a breath, his eyes slowly narrowed, and everyone lowered their heads in contemplation.

After a while, I saw Wang Huaiyi suddenly stand up, arch his hand and say loudly: "My lord, it is better to ask His Highness for instructions and transfer food relief from Pingyan." ”

Before Yan Shuo could speak, he saw Liang Jian frowning and replied: "Not to mention how much grain there is in Pingyan City, but the distance from Dingbian to Pingyan, I'm afraid we will not be allowed to temporarily transfer food, unless the army stays in Dingbian for a little longer." ”

Wan Yan Shuo glanced at him, shook his head, and said: "No, if you delay it for too long, then the Yan country will be cold, and it will be more difficult for our army to march in cold weather. ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his head to Wang Huaiyi and said:

"After the Dingbian War, did you keep all the armor I asked you to peel off from the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom?"

Wang Huaiyi hurriedly stood up and responded, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Wan Yanshuo nodded and asked, "How many can you still wear?" ”

After Wang Huaiyi pondered for a while, he replied: "There are more than 10,000 sets in total. ”

After hearing this, Yan Shuo leaned back, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, that's enough, I have a way to prepare enough food for the army," After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Huaiyi and said, "It's just that you have to work hard General Wang." ”

Wang Huaiyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, as long as the army has enough food, even if it is up to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, his subordinates can do it!" Please rest assured, General! ”――
