"Uncle Mu doesn't know what to do next. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Merlin didn't answer, but changed the topic, after burying the corpse, he dismissed the rat group, this army is his secret weapon, unless he has to do it or the most trusted person around him, otherwise, he will not let any outsiders know, Mu Hongwu's relationship with him is far from trust.
Seeing that Mo Lin didn't want to say, Mu Hongwu didn't ask much, his eyes fell on the void in front of him, and his eyes gradually became cold.
"Song Yuanbiao's extermination of the Qingzong is to kill me, I must avenge this revenge, in a few days, I will gather a large army and besiege the imperial city, even if I fight to the end, I will kill the Song thief!" Mu Hongwu said through gritted teeth.
"Uncle Mu means to rebel?" Mo Lin said with an impassive expression.
"What if it's the other way around!" Mu Hongwu snorted coldly, "I have been fighting for the Song family for twenty years, but they treat me like this, such a master, it doesn't matter if it's the opposite!"
Merlin was silent for a moment, and at this time the two walked up a hillside, looking at the desolate and desolate ridge opposite, Merlin said: "Uncle Mu thinks that with your prestige, how many men and horses can you muster?
At this time, Mo Lin's expression was deep, giving people a feeling that he was not at all like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but he had a little bit of a handsome demeanor of a general, Mu Hongwu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "There are 300,000 troops in Jiuyouguan, if I rebel, at least 200,000 soldiers are willing to follow me, Song Yuanbiao is in charge of the imperial city defense army, and there are 400,000 defenders, but the soldiers of Hongdu City have been pampered and treated well over the years, and they have not been baptized on the battlefield at all. ”
Mo Lin was silent, although he had never been to the Nine Shadows Pass, he knew that it was the first trench of the Yunlan Kingdom to resist the northern demons, and it was also the most tragic and cruel battlefield of death in the border battle, and the soldiers who came out of there were the real elites, far from being comparable to the city guards of the imperial city.
"So, if Uncle Mu and Song Yuanbiao fight, the odds of winning are five or five?"
"So to speak. ”
"The prince is a member of the Song family, you and Song Yuanbiao carry out, will Your Majesty not interfere? There are countless masters of the royal family, and Uncle Mu doesn't know how many people have the cultivation of the Martial Extreme Realm?"
Mu Hongwu's face changed slightly, Mo Lin's meaning was obvious, soldier to soldier, general to general, what really affected the battle situation on the battlefield was the number of masters and cultivation level of the two armies, even if his 200,000 army could tie with the city defense army, but if he couldn't suppress the opponent on the battlefield of the strong, he would not be able to get rid of the solution of defeat in the end.
"There are twenty-three generals in the Martial Extreme Realm in our army, and there are more than two hundred mid-level generals of the half-step Martial Sect, and the two of them can deal with the first-level Martial Sect when they join forces. ”
Mu Hongwu's words made Mo Lin a little surprised, one was surprised by the number of strong people under him, and the other was surprised by the other party's trust in him, you know, the real strength of every army is a secret in the army, he confessed to himself so unabashedly, obviously did not treat himself as an outsider, but the latter sentence of the explanation revealed his lack of confidence.
"How many martial arts realm powerhouses are in the Song family, does Uncle Mu know?"
"This. Mu Hongwu's face became a little unnatural, "There are more than one hundred and fifty people on the surface, as for how many masters are hidden behind it, it is unknown." ”
"Huh. ”
Mu Yang smiled: "In other words, if all the powerhouses of the royal family stand on the same front as Song Yuanbiao, the Nine Shadows Army has no chance of winning, right?"
Mu Hongwu shook his head: "It is impossible for them to support the palace all. The reason why Song Yuanbiao wants to get rid of me is because the two of us are in different teams, now His Majesty has opened the trial of the battle for the throne, all the courtiers have chosen the master they support, I am assisted by the second prince, Song Yuanbiao supports the eldest prince, one of the two of them is destined to inherit the throne, and because of my existence, the power of the second prince in the two years of competition has gradually overshadowed the eldest prince, if nothing else, the future throne belongs to him, Song Yuanbiao dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, so he set a poisonous plan to destroy the Ruthless Sect, so as to weaken the power behind me, maybe you don't know, the real owner of the Xiaoyao Holy Courtyard is the great prince, and the expansion of the holy courtyard is also the idea of the great prince, just to take the opportunity to strengthen their own power. ”
"I see. ”
Mo Lin finally understood why Song Yuanbiao would target the Ruthless Sect, in the final analysis, it was still a partisan dispute.
But the problem is that in order to select the best heir to the throne, the Song family opened the trial, but the unlucky ones were the disciples of the Ruthless Sect, which made people depressed.
"Therefore, if I really start with Song Yuanbiao, even if the second prince doesn't help me, with my personal relationship with him, I will never side with the eldest prince. Mu Hongwu said confidently.
Merlin shook his head disappreciatively.
"I don't think necessarily, there is no personal relationship between the imperial powers, only interests! The second prince helps you, just because you still have value for him, if you lead troops to rebel, that's another matter, in order to please the emperor, he may be the first to send troops to suppress it, you know, at that time, what you threatened was his family's dominance in Yunlan Kingdom, not a simple partisan dispute. ”
Mu Hongwu was stunned, and his expression gradually became solemn.
As the protector of Yunlan Kingdom, Mu Hongwu is proficient in the art of war, good at arranging troops to fight, and is the god of war on the battlefield, but he has no way to deal with the intrigue of the noble gate lords.
This kind of conflict of interests, he can see one, two, three, but he can't see through four, five, six, let alone seven, eight or nine, and now, after being reminded by Mo Lin, his heart suddenly sank.
"Okay, even if the second prince doesn't make a move, and confront the Song family with your troops, it will undoubtedly be an egg to hit a stone, and the final outcome will be at worst, the whole army will be wiped out, and 200,000 people will accompany you to die. ”
"But have you ever thought that the enemies of the Ruthless Sect are not only Song Yuanbiao's family, the three major sects are the biggest culprits! If it weren't for them destroying the sect's array, if they hadn't blocked all the exits, and dragged down the ruthless girl and Aunt Su Sun Lao, even if Song Yuanbiao sent more soldiers and horses, it would be impossible to slaughter the whole sect, if you die, who will kill these enemies?"
At the end of his speech, Merlin's voice became stern.
Although Mu Hongwu would not choose to commit suicide again, Mo Lin could feel that he had not yet come out of his self-blame.
He always felt that the destruction of the Ruthless Sect was caused by his carelessness in standing in line, but he didn't know that the real source was the map of the Seven Star Xuan Realm, which was the treasure of the Martial Emperor, even if the army of the palace did not appear, the three major sects would not let go of the Ruthless Sect.
You must know that the three sects only dispatched the top powerhouses that day, and there were tens of thousands of disciples under each of their sects, if all of them were dispatched, the fate of the Ruthless Sect would be even more miserable than now. The four major forces jointly attacked, and in Merlin's view, the factor of coincidence accounted for the majority.
