Murong Fu Dongfangqing

Mengshan, also known as Dongmeng, is the largest mountain in Shandong originating from Mount Tai. Because of its majestic mountains and unique scenery, it has been favored by literati and inkmen since the Tang Dynasty, especially celebrities in Qilu area like to play or live in seclusion here. And because of its dangerous terrain, guarding the north-south route of Ludi, the Mengshan area is frequently fought, and it is a must-fight for military strategists.

On this day, the sky was getting late, the sun was setting in the western mountains, and to the north of Mengshan Mountain, an army stretching for more than ten miles was slowly advancing. Every few feet, there was a yellow dragon flag waving in the wind, with a big embroidered on it.The big word "Wu", this is clearly Wu Sangui's army.

In the middle of the army was a luxuriously decorated, four-seater chariot. At this time, in the carriage, Wu Sangui was wearing a golden python robe and sat high on the head. There were several people standing on the left and right sides. If Murong Fu was here, he would recognize them. They are all Wu Sangui's confidant bodyguards and son-in-law, including Yuzhenzi, Gui Xinshu, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu and so on.

"Report!" Suddenly, the voice of a messenger came from outside the car.

Wu Sangui didn't speak, Xia Guoxiang bowed slightly, exited the carriage, and came in again after a while, "Report to the lord..."

"Huh?" Wu Sangui raised his brows slightly in the middle of speaking.

Xia Guoxiang immediately reacted, and hastily changed his words, "Report to Marshal, the scouts from the former army came to report, and the county magistrate of Mengyin County heard the news that the Marshal's army was about to arrive, and immediately took the initiative to switch on and off the city, and ordered the people in the city to slaughter cattle and sheep to reward the army , Marshal, please tell me if I will camp in the city tonight?"

Do you know why he called him "Marshal" instead of "Prince"?It turned out that Wu Sangui did not proclaim himself king and emperor immediately after he raised his troops, but proclaimed himself "All the world recruits soldiers and horses to be the generalissimo", put forward a slogan of "Xingming seeks captives", and strictly demanded that his subordinates call him "marshal". Called "Wang Ye".

After hearing this, Wu Sangui's expression remained calm, and he took a sip from the teacup on the case table, but asked, "Where are the two armies on the left and right now?"

Since ancient times, a large army has to be divided into three groups or even more. This has almost become a common practice, and Wu Sangui is no exception. It is too bloated for hundreds of thousands of troops to move together, and the team is too long.

Being attacked by someone is prone to chaos, which leads to the defeat of the army. Secondly, there is also a plan to save eggs and not put them in one basket.

Xia Guoxiang pondered for a while and replied, "According to the itinerary estimate, the army on the left should arrive in Yangdu County this evening, and the army on the right will be a little faster, and it should be near Huaide County."

"Get a map."

Wu Sangui said lightly, and immediately a soldier fetched the map and spread it out on the table.

Wu Sangui looked down for a while, frowned and said, "Why is there such a difference?"

What he was talking about was naturally the distance between his central army and the other two armies.

Xia Guoxiang gave a wry smile and didn't dare to say anything. The army in the middle route not only took on all the supplies and supplies of the army in the third route, but also took care of Wu Sangui's ceremonial guards. The other two armies were of course much faster.

Wu Sangui didn't pursue this question. After a while of contemplation, he pointed to a place on the map, "Let's set up camp here tonight."

Several people leaned forward to take a look, and couldn't help being taken aback. What Wu Sangui was referring to was a wide area about twenty miles north of Mengyin County. How could he not let the army directly enter the county seat?

However, after a little thought, it became clear that the power in Shandong is huge and complex. The county magistrate here is still an official of the Qing court in name. In fact, collusion between officials and bandits and impostors often occur. God knows if the so-called magistrate of Mengyin had defected to the Golden Snake Camp a long time ago and deliberately set up a trap to wait for them there.

Xia Guoxiang wanted to understand this problem, and was about to turn around and go out to deliver an order, but Wu Sangui said again, "Order the rear teams of the left and right armies to change to the front teams, and rush to this place as soon as possible to join the commander."

"Uh..." Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Even if Yu Zhenzi and Gui Xinshu, two laymen, knew that the rushing back and forth of the army would easily cause fatigue and morale damage to the soldiers, but Wu Sangui wanted the other two armies to come back. Because others walked ahead of you?

Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu looked at each other, and finally Hu Guozhu said politely, "Marshal, do you have any other plans?"

Wu Sangui did not explain,

He said calmly, "Order the soldiers of the Chinese army. After the camp is set up tonight, people will not undress their horses and horses. The sentry posts and patrols will be increased to ten people, and they will be changed every hour."

As soon as this remark came out, Xia and Hu became even more puzzled. Could it be that someone came to steal the camp?Even if the Golden Snake Camp got the news, it was nothing more than a mob. Moreover, this place is still one or two hundred miles away from the Golden Snake Camp's den.

They felt that Wu Sangui's move was really making a fuss out of a molehill and being too cautious.

"Marshal..." Xia Guoxiang hesitated to speak, but Wu Sangui just waved his hand, "Proceed as follows, there must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

……

At the same time, Yuan Chengzhi, Jiao Wan'er, Luo Liru, Murong Fu, and Emperor Hu De of the Tiandihui sat in a mud-brick house in a small village dozens of miles away from Wu Sangui's army. There is a crude map.

"Mr. Murong, in your opinion, will Wu Sangui enter the city?" Yuan Chengzhi pointed to Mengyin County on the map and asked Murong Fu.

Murong Fu shook his head and smiled, "This old fox is very cunning, he acts extremely cautiously, in my opinion, he probably won't enter the city."

At this time, two days have passed since the departure of the army, which really made him a little ashamed, and the prediction failed, because according to Wu Sangui's current marching speed, it would take at least two or three days to reach Lanling Mountain. Wen Qingqing's prediction was more accurate.

In fact, his original guess was not wrong, and Wu Sangui set off earlier than he imagined, but he overestimated the marching speed of this era. Leaving aside the cavalry, the infantry can only travel forty or fifty miles a day Roads, food and supplies are even slower.

Everyone was a little disappointed after hearing Murong Fu's words. Jiao Wan'er blurted out, "What should we do then? Once he sees through the layout of the city and takes precautions, and even attacks the county town instead, we will be passive."

Since the incident two days ago, this woman avoided Murong Fu as much as she could, and even if she couldn't, she would try her best to avoid eye contact with him. This was the first time she spoke to him in a few days.

"It's not likely to see through it." Murong Fu glanced at her with a half-smile, "It is certain to take precautions, but he will definitely enter the city in the end."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, saying that they would not go to the city for a while, and then they said they would go to the city, what exactly were they thinking?

"Look," Murong Fu said, flicking his finger on the map a few times, "here, here, and here are all Wu Sangui's supply routes, no matter which route passes through Mengyin County, what do you think he Will people cut off his retreat?"

When he said this, Emperor Hu De was the first to react, "Yes, yes, Mengyin County is very important, almost becoming the throat of this area, no matter what, the old turtle will definitely control it."

Yuan Chengzhi still didn't quite understand. He glanced at Emperor Hu De puzzledly. Emperor Hu De laughed and said, "Mr. Murong means that Wu Sangui will take precautions or test, and after he is sure that the county is not in danger, he will definitely enter the city." city."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiao Wan'er asked again, "Then shall we send all the troops into the city now? Otherwise, it will only depend on the Heaven and Earth Association..."

As she was talking, she suddenly realized that Emperor Hu De was also there, and it was difficult to say the following words.

Emperor Hu De smiled indifferently, "The old man understands what Chief Jiao means, and your concerns are not unreasonable, but has Chief Jiao ever thought about it? There are good and bad in the Golden Snake Camp. Once there is too much movement and the wind leaks, it will not be worth the candle. "

He said this euphemistically, and the translation means that although you have many people, you also have many spies.

Jiao Wan'er was speechless for a while, and looked at Yuan Chengzhi, "Should we just wait and do nothing?"

"That's right, we just have to wait now." Murong Fu said.

"Wait for what?"

"Wait..." Murong Fu said, his ears moved suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the door, "Here we come."

After the voice fell, there was a fluctuation at the door, and a black shadow slowly emerged.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help being startled, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes. Wouldn't it be impossible to guard against a sneak attack from behind, and they would die in an instant?

Even Murong

A strange color also flashed across the compound eyes, but it quickly returned to normal, "Qi'er, how is it?"

Liu Shenghuaqi bowed and replied, "Responding to the master's words, the man did spread the news, but he was very cunning. He kept watching the pigeons fly away before leaving. The servants were incompetent and failed to trace the pigeons."

"It goes without saying that it must have been reported to Wu Sangui." Luo Liru, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly said excitedly.

The others nodded in agreement.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Lu to be a traitor and running dog. It was Yuan who didn't know who he was, and it was thanks to Mr. Murong's insight and discovery in time." Yuan Chengzhi said with a look of regret, and then sent a thank you to Murong Fu eyes.

"Yes, thanks to the timely discovery, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, but I don't know what news he sent to Wu Sangui..." A hint of worry flashed across Emperor Hu De's face.

Murong Fu smiled lightly, "What's the matter, just continue to send scouts to investigate the movements of Wu Sangui's army, now he must know our position, what we have to do is to cooperate with Lu to put on a good show, and let Wu Sangui fall into the trap At that time, his main army will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

When the few people heard this, their expressions lifted, and they eliminated Wu Sangui's main force, which was something they never dared to think about before they came.

"Okay, I'm tired, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go back and rest first."

Murong Fu yawned after finishing speaking, then got up and left, while Liu Shenghuaqi followed closely.

"That woman is sneaky, can you believe her words?" After the two left, Jiao Wan'er couldn't help asking.

Yuan Chengzhi and Luo Liru fell silent immediately, but Emperor Hu De showed a sly smile on his face, "It's not difficult to prove this, just send someone to find out Wu Sangui's movements, and it won't be clear who is a human and who is a ghost." Chu."

It turned out that he also had reservations about Murong Fu.

When Murong Fu and Liu Shenghuaqi returned to the residence arranged for them by the Golden Snake Camp, Murong Fu immediately asked, "Qi'er, I sent you to monitor Lu Feiqing, you won't get this little thing, right?"
