Murong Fu Dongfangqing

"Jining Mansion?" Murong Fu pondered for a while, "If I remember correctly, I was still in Jining when I got the news last time, why did you go to Jining again?"

"This...disciple doesn't know either."

"How far is Jining Mansion from here?"

"It's less than two days' journey, but..." Hong Lingbo suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, as if he hesitated.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate."

Hong Lingbo's expression froze, and he quickly replied, "Returning to Master, this news has been received a few days ago. According to the latest information, after Wu Sangui divided his troops to capture Jinan and Jining, he intends to join forces and move south along the coast, so... so ..."

"So now it's not sure whether Wu Yingxiong is still in Jining, right?" Murong Fu's face suddenly darkened.

"Yes, it is."

"Hmph, the Crystal Palace is really becoming more and more useless. A mere Wu Yingxiong has been searching for such a long time but still can't find it!" Murong Fu was furious, and in an instant, his whole body was full of energy, and an invisible wave of energy swept away. Where it passed, the void trembled, and the entire small courtyard was about to be overturned, and Hong Lingbo in front of him was panicked and subconsciously stabilized his figure, but her skill was far behind Murong Fu, and she could only hold on for less than a breath. Kung fu flew away.

On the other hand, Mu Jianping and the little mute who were near Murong Fu seemed to be all right and remained motionless.

After a while, the fluctuations subsided, and Hong Lingbo flew back with a disheveled face, knelt down, "Master, please calm down, this disciple will report back!"

Murong Fu's face was black and he didn't speak, his eyes flickered faintly, as if there were flames jumping.

At this time, Mu Jianping suddenly patted his chest, and said coquettishly, "Brother Murong, don't blame sister Lingbo if you are angry, she has worked so hard.

It's not her fault to run errands for you, so why are you blaming her! "

Of course Murong Fu also understood that Hong Lingbo's fault was not with him, but there was no reason to be a punching bag, and there was really no suitable candidate at the moment.

His face softened, he pushed Mu Jianping away casually, and said a word coldly, "Say."

Only then did Hong Lingbo open his mouth and said, "Master, since the battle of Yanmen Pass, the disciples of the Crystal Palace in various strongholds in the North have suffered heavy losses, and there is still not enough manpower to replenish them, so that there are varying degrees of lag in the search and transmission of information. No wonder they."

"Are you blaming me for saying that?" Murong Fu said angrily.

Hong Lingbo's heart trembled, he didn't even dare to say.

Strictly speaking, Murong Fu is really responsible for the matter of Yanmen Pass. If he hadn't ordered the disciples of the Crystal Palace and Blood Shadow Palace to come out in full force to assassinate Yelu Hongji outside Yanmen Pass, he wouldn't have slowed down by now. The key matter was not settled yet, so in desperation he had to let Zhao Hong go to the Khitan camp to replace Yelu Hongji. It was a mistake, and after several twists and turns, he took most of Daliao's strength into his pocket.

At this time Murong Fu suddenly smiled, "Get up."

"Ling... Ling Bo dare not dare, master... forgive me..." Hong Lingbo was frightened by his sudden smile, his hands and feet were cold, and he spoke incoherently.

"When did I say I was going to take your life?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses and gave her an annoyed look, "Am I so scary? I still don't get up!"

Only then did Hong Lingbo stand up tremblingly, his forehead already covered with cold sweat.

"Okay, you don't need to be so scared, I'm not so stupid as to kill people casually

, as long as you don't bully your masters and destroy your ancestors, or betray the Murong family, I'm still easy to talk to. "Murong Fu said a word of relief in a rare voice.

Hong Lingbo's heart relaxed, but he said obediently, "Lingbo swears that he will never betray his master or the Murong family, otherwise Lingbo will be struck by lightning, and he will die without a place to die."

Murong Fu nodded noncommittally, and asked instead, "You said just now that Wu Sangui was the one who captured the three prefectures of Jining, where did he get so many troops?"

You must know that Wu Sangui's total army strength is only about [-], of which more than [-] are stationed in Baoding and Zhending, and [-] are stationed in Cangzhou, and the rest will not exceed [-]. Jinan and Jining are both big cities , Qingzhou did not give up too much, a hundred thousand troops attacked three places at the same time, and they all succeeded. Could it be that the Qing army was all paper?

Speaking of this, I have to mention the current situation in the Qing court. Before Wu Sangui's incident, Jinling in the south, Changbai Mountain in the north, Shanhaiguan in the east, and Yanmen Pass in the west all belonged to the Qing court's sphere of influence. Occupying Shandong, the Qing government's control over Shandong is already very weak, but it is not completely gone. There are at least about one hundred thousand Xiang troops stationed in various dangerous cities.

After Wu Sangui came out of Shanhaiguan, he occupied Zhending and Baoding for the first time, and then divided his troops to the south to capture Shandong. Kangxi's territory, the south of Baoding and the north of Shandong belong to Wu Sangui's territory, while Shandong is a mixture of Jinsheying, Tiandihui, Wu Sangui and other forces.

At this time, Hong Lingbo said cautiously, "Master, according to the information obtained by the Crystal Palace, the Jinan Mansion has already fallen into the hands of Wu San.

In Gui's hands, they just blocked the news, and Wu Sangui's other main force set off from Cangzhou half a month ago, detoured to Jinmen and went south by boat, and landed in Laizhou. The last two main forces captured Jining Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion respectively. . "

"So that's how it is." Murong Fu nodded suddenly. If an army of 20 captured the two big cities, it would be justified. After all, Shandong had already been polluted by the Golden Snake Battalion. I have won Wu Sangui's tiger and wolf teacher.

But he still couldn't figure it out, the old fox had already fought in Baoding, why did he not fight with the capital, but split up his troops and go south to take Shandong first?

As long as you get the capital, you will occupy the righteousness. At that time, the remnant forces of the Qing court will be no more than chickens and dogs, and they will not be able to make a fortune at all. The old fox won't count such a simple account?Is it really more fragrant in Shandong?

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out...

After a long time, Murong Fu rubbed the aching brows, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Hong Lingbo standing there with lowered eyebrows, and asked with a thought, "Lingbo, why do you think Wu Sangui divided his troops to go south to capture Shandong?"

Hong Lingbo was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Back to Master, Lingbo has short knowledge and dare not speak nonsense."

"It's okay, tell me what you think, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, I won't blame you." Murong Fu said with a smile.

"Yes, then Lingbo is being presumptuous," Hong Lingbo bowed, straightened his words, and said slowly, "This disciple thinks that Wu Sangui's choice to go south may not be voluntary."

"Oh?" Murong Fu frowned slightly, "Go on."

"Everyone in the world knows that as long as the capital is occupied, the Qing court will be over. Wu Sangui will never understand this truth

At this time, he still divides his troops to go south. There are three reasons. First, someone forced him to go south. Second, he retreated in spite of the difficulties. "Hong Lingbo changed from his previous cautiousness, and talked with eloquence.

Murong Fu's eyes gradually lit up as he listened, and finally he laughed, "I can't tell, you really have some insights, but the third point can basically be ruled out, can you be more specific about the first and second points?" ?”

Hong Lingbo looked slightly happy, and quickly explained, "The first thing Lingbo said actually refers to the anti-Qing forces such as the Golden Snake Camp and the Tiandihui. A while ago, they were powerful in Shandong and might have threatened Wu Sangui's rear. Wu Sangui had no choice but to We can only go south to deal with them first, as for the second..."

At this moment, she paused, and carefully glanced at Murong Fu. Seeing that he didn't respond, she continued, "The capital is the most important city in the north. According to the rough statistics of the Crystal Palace, its permanent garrison is about 15. The population is more than one million, and the grain and grass are countless. Even if the city is besieged, it can last for two or three years. Wu Sangui labored on an expedition and was an anti-army. Once he was frustrated, his morale would plummet. After a crushing defeat, the troops can be divided up and moved southwards slowly, Wu Sangui, a veteran in the battlefield, should know how to weigh the pros and cons."

To put it simply, Wu Sangui knew he couldn't beat him, so he stopped fighting.

"Tsk tsk..." Murong Fu looked at Hong Lingbo with a smile on his face, and said in amazement, "I never thought you could see so far and so thoroughly."

Hong Lingbo's fair skin turned slightly red, and he said obediently, "Lingbo's knowledge is not as good as that of the master, but he is just talking nonsense, and I hope the master will not blame Ling Bo."
