Chapter 271: Internal and External Troubles

When Xie Qingxuan heard Mu Fan's guess, he was not much surprised, but stared at Mu Fan tightly, making Mu Fan a little inexplicable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Why are you looking at me like this?" asked Mu Fan suspiciously.

"Actually, my father and I have long been suspicious of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so your news today is not surprising. Xie Qingxuan called Xie Wudao, and did not call him uncle, but directly called Zhenyuan Marquis.

"Then what are you for?" said Mu Fan.

"I'm amazed that you suspect him so quickly. Xie Qingxuan smiled bitterly: "Your ideas are really not comparable to ordinary people." ”

"All kinds of factors point to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and ordinary people just don't dare to think about him, so they don't think of him. Mu Fan shook his head and said, "Since you already know, what is the plan?"

"Let's do it when the opportunity comes. Xie Qingxuan sighed and said: "The Marquis of Zhenyuan has been in the army for many years, don't say that we don't have evidence now, even if we have evidence, we can't act rashly, before, we thought that we must first settle down inside, but now it seems that the time is not yet ripe." ”

"If we don't solve this problem as soon as possible, we will be in a very dangerous position. Chen Feihu said.

"Now there are two plans, first, we will gather all the Zhenyuan Marquis and his henchmen together, and then take them all by surprise, but it is extremely difficult to do so, and second, let the Zhenyuan Marquis die unexpectedly, but this may cause the mutiny of the Zhenyuan Marquis's henchmen, and when the time comes, it will be even more troublesome. Xie Qingxuan's face was full of hesitation: "It's just that my father believed in the Marquis of Zhenyuan too much, otherwise it wouldn't have been where it is today." ”

"It's the best situation to be able to catch them all, this takes a long time to arrange, the princess has been here for so long, isn't there any means to arrange?" Mu Fan asked curiously.

"What princess is not a princess, called so raw, no matter what the occasion, as long as you want, you can call my name directly, if you want to call it more intimate, you can do it. Xie Qingxuan's bold confession embarrassed Chen Feihu on the side, so he had to look at his nose and his heart, and he didn't hear what he did.

"Uh......" Mu Fan was speechless for a moment, refusal is not, refusal is not.

"Hmph. Seeing this, Xie Qingxuan snorted, and then said: "Of course there is a backhand, in fact, my father has already started to lay out, the Tiger Legion is the most elite unit of my Heavenly Fury Dynasty, and if it can completely control the Tiger Legion, it can play a great role in restraining the Marquis of Zhenyuan." ”

"Those Tianjiao entered the upper echelons of the legion, and it turned out that they still had this intention. Mu Fan was suddenly a little stunned.

"Well, although Chen Shuai is loyal, the Tiger Legion is inevitably installed by the Marquis of Zhenyuan with a lot of henchmen, and there are also people who defect to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so if you want to fully master the Tiger Legion, you must join fresh blood. Xie Qingxuan took the trouble to explain.

"I see, it seems that Chen Shuai also knows about it. Mu Fan glanced at Chen Feihu, who did not have any fluctuations, and immediately understood in his heart that the latter should know these things.

"I didn't know much before, I just thought that the king would help me to grasp the Tiger Legion more firmly, but I didn't expect it to be used against the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Chen Feihu understood Mu Fan's thoughts, so he explained.

"Well, Chen Shuai does not know anything about this. Xie Qingxuan nodded and continued: "This is just one of them, the second is that I came here with Seventh Brother just to gain control of other armies, on the side of the Tiger Legion, with you to help Chen Shuai, there should be no problem, since my Seventh Brother came, he has been fighting on the front line, in addition to my father wanting to cultivate him, there is also to establish his prestige as soon as possible and take the army in his hands." ”

"Shanhai City has always been run by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the Red Flame Legion is the descendant of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, if you want to control it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Chen Feihu said.

"So we have to wait, and when we have the strength to stabilize the overall situation, or there is a suitable opportunity, we will do it, and now, we can only be careful to take precautions. Xie Qingxuan said to Mu Fan: "I didn't tell you everything before, because the fewer people who know about it, the better, and for you, it's safer, but now that you have guessed, then worry more and help me think of a way." ”

"There are a lot of things involved in this matter, and I can't think of any good way for a while. Mu Fan paused for a moment, and then said: "But this time I attacked the Persian military camp and found that the opponent's army had begun to assemble, and now outside the city, there are at least five legions stationed there. ”

"Five legions?" Xie Qingxuan frowned slightly, and thought for a moment: "Now on our side, there are five or six hundred thousand soldiers in each city, nearly 800,000 defenders of Shanhai City, and 500,000 Red Flame Legion and Tiger Legion. ”

"The other party has Yuan Shi cannons, I don't know how many they brought this time, if hundreds of Yuan Shi cannons are fired together, the walls of Shanhai City may not be able to hold it. "Having seen the power of the Yuanshi cannon, Mu Fan is most worried about this.

The Yuan Shi cannons of the Blood Massacre Legion were almost destroyed, but the enemy still had seven or eight legions, and those legions didn't know how many Yuan Shi cannons they had brought.

Shanhai City is indeed impregnable, impregnable, but in the face of the enemy's endless army and the bombardment of Yuanshi artillery, it can't hold it at all.

Moreover, the enemy's legions are all superior forces, and on the side of the Heavenly Fury, only the Tiger Dynasty and the Red Flame Legion can be regarded as elite, and the others cannot fight against the Persian army.

The most important thing is that there is also the uncertain factor of Zhenyuanhou, and until now, no one knows what role Zhenyuanhou has played.

If the Marquis of Zhenyuan just wanted to ascend to the throne, then he could find a way to kill the Heavenly Fury King, or just throw the army into the palace.

But now that the Persian army is fighting, he is still cooperating with Persia, saying that he has committed treason, which is a bit unreasonable, because Persia can't make a bigger bargaining chip, because Persia will not allow the Marquis of Zhenyuan to a throne at all!

However, it is said that the Marquis of Zhenyuan did not commit treason and collaborate with the enemy, but he colluded with Persia and took the initiative to leak military secrets.

Also, why did the Persian Dynasty suddenly attack the Heavenly Fury Dynasty, which has been peaceful for so many years, there must be a reason why they chose this node, if they can understand this, maybe they can connect the whole thing in context.

However, now Mu Fan has no relevant clues in his hands, and he doesn't know anything about the Persian Dynasty at all, so in the face of this complicated situation, no matter how smart Mu Fan is, he can't think of a reason.

"Since we can't hold it, why don't we attack head-on?" Xie Qingxuan proposed.

"It's not a viable option. Chen Feihu sighed and said: "If there is enough time, we can always use guerrilla tactics, a few days ago, Mu Fan's method has achieved obvious results, and a large number of enemy troops have been annihilated at a very small cost. ”

"You can use both. Mu Fan said with a smile: "The enemy army is still reinforcing now, so our guerrilla troops can still make a difference, and at the same time, we must drag them on the frontal battlefield and try to block them outside Shanhai City." ”

After that, the three of them did not rest, and kept discussing various strategies and tactics and ways to deal with them, without realizing that the sky was already dawning.

Mu Fan didn't rest for two days in a row, coupled with the constant running and fighting, he was already extremely tired, just when Xie Qingxuan and Chen Feihu were discussing, Mu Fan actually fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xie Qingxuan was extremely distressed, and quietly made a gesture to Chen Feihu, letting the two of them walk out, wanting Mu Fan to take the opportunity to rest.

However, Mu Fan didn't sleep for too long, and was woken up, because outside Shanhai City, Nie Yuan actually sent people and horses to call for battle, and asked Mu Fan to fight by name.

Mu Fan couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, it should be the blood slaughter that wanted to kill him, where did this Nie Yuan come from?

Although he was puzzled, Mu Fan still went up to the city wall, looked at the west of the city, and saw an endless army stationed outside the city.

And not far from the city gate, someone was constantly shouting and scolding, asking Mu Fan to go out of the city to fight.

"Mu Fan, dare to come out and fight head-on, don't do a sneak attack on those villains!"

"Mu Fan, if you are a man, you will come out to fight!"

"Mu Fan, do you want to be a shrunken turtle? You don't even have the courage to fight, it seems that you will also sneak attack!"

In this regard, Mu Fan sneered, explained that everyone ignored it, and then went back to enter the cultivation, which could make him recover faster.

Seeing that Mu Fan didn't come out, the shouting outside turned into scolding, which became more and more ugly, and several waves of people took turns to fight, the more they scolded, the more energetic, and there was no duplicate.

Hearing these scoldings, Xie Qingxuan, Shui Yunxiu, Duan Lang, and Lin Jingtian couldn't listen to it anymore.

Shui Yunxiu snorted coldly, this person rose into the sky, turned into a white light, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of those who were scolding, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, he killed all these people in an instant, and then her figure flickered and returned to the city wall.

Shui Yunxiu's movements were very fast, Nie Yuan's side didn't react at all, and the few people who scolded had all died tragically.

"Go ahead and call the formation, the crossbowmen get ready, and if this woman dares to come down, shoot me hard. Nie Yuan sneered, and suddenly, rows of crossbowmen pulled the strong crossbow apart, and it was loaded with Yuan-breaking arrows.

At the same time, several more people came over and began to shout.

Seeing this, Shui Yunxiu couldn't help but want to make another move, but was stopped by Xie Qingxuan: "It's too dangerous, don't go." ”

"If they scold Mu Fan, they must die. Shui Yunxiu said coldly: "Moreover, these Yuan-breaking crossbows can't help me." ”

"This is not good, in case something happens to you, how can I explain to Mu Fan. Xie Qingxuan naturally refused to let Shui Yunxiu take risks.

"Just leave these bastards to me, and I'll take care of my business. At this moment, Mu Fan's voice came.
