I saw Murong Fu saying: "Master Xiang is thousands of miles away, maybe he still doesn't know the results of the Northern Expedition..."
Yang Juyuan who was on the opposite side interrupted him directly: "I've made it very clear, Mr. Xiang asked you to keep a closed door and not attack without permission. Do you not understand or what's going on?"
Seeing that the other party's face was cloudy and uncertain, Yang Juyuan took out a token and sneered, "Don't you dare to disobey Xiangye's wishes? Don't forget whose credit it is that you are able to become the Deputy Xuan Fu envoy?"
"Subordinates dare not!" Murong Fu hastily bowed and saluted.
"I'm sorry you don't dare." Yang Juyuan snorted and walked away.
After he left, several retainers including Feng Bo E and Bao Tong came in, Murong Fu couldn't hold back any longer, and directly threw his teacup on the ground: "It's just a dog of Jia Sidao's subordinates, yet he dares to show his power in front of me .”
Bao BuTong hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, sir, please be careful, we can't offend Jia Sidao now."
Song Qingshu, who was hanging upside down outside the window, smiled knowingly, it turned out to be these two living treasures, why didn't I see them in the Shu Palace last time.
Murong Fu snorted coldly: "Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have let him leave so brazenly!"
The storm on the side said irritably: "That Jia Sidao doesn't know what's going on. The prospect of our young master's northern expedition is so good. It's a great opportunity to make contributions and become famous all over the world. He actually came out to obstruct him."
"No and no!" Bao BuTong continued shaking his head, "There are two mistakes. First, our young master has already become famous in the world by suppressing the traitor Wu Xi. Second, Jia Sidao has always been steadfast. Han Yuzhou is the main war faction, and now Han Yuzhou's status is on the verge of collapse due to the failure of a series of previous Northern Expeditions. If the Northern Expedition in Sichuan is successful at this time, wouldn't it be that Jin Guo had to draw troops from the Eastern Front? To deal with the western front? That way Han Tuozhou would have a chance to breathe, and maybe he could make a comeback. How could Jia Sidao give him such a chance? So it’s no wonder he didn’t obstruct it.”
Song Qingshu couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard that Bao BuTong was making all kinds of arguments. According to the popular words on the Internet in later generations, this strange flower is simply a joke, but his analysis just now makes sense. Thinking about the whole situation with Dao's current state of mind, it is indeed impossible for him to sit back and watch the Northern Expedition in Sichuan help Han Tuozhou survive.
The turmoil inside was extremely shocking: "Isn't Jia Sidao sacrificing the interests of the country and the people to satisfy his own selfish desires?"
Bao BuTong changed his usual frivolous tone this time, and changed his tone to be more earnest: "For politicians like them, which one is not like this? You should learn more from him in this regard."
Murong Fu nodded, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what shall we do next, are we really following Jia Sidao's order and doing nothing?"
"No, no!" Bao Budong shook his head, "Jia Sidao's order must be obeyed, but it's not like doing nothing. In fact, it's not a bad thing for Jia Sidao to stop the son's Northern Expedition this time. It's the credit of the son's suppression of Wu Xi. It is already big enough, so no matter how brilliant the Northern Expedition is, you will face a situation where there is no reward; but if there are any twists and turns in the war, the young master will face severe punishment. So it is better to follow Jia Sidao's instructions and stay on your own."
"Of course, it is by no means completely listening to Jia Sidao's arrangement. The young master's ambition is to revive the Yan Kingdom, and Sichuan has been a land of abundance and a land of dragon prosperity since ancient times. When the Qin Kingdom won Sichuan, it swept the world, and Han Gaozu also had Hanzhong Sichuan. The Chu-Han struggle for hegemony can only be won with the constant support of logistics soldiers, and it is God's will that you have Sichuan now, and it seems that the hope of the Murong family for dozens of generations to revive the Yan Kingdom will be realized here."
Hearing his words, Murong Fu couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Bao really sees far-reaching things, but now I'm only the highest-ranking official in Sichuan in name, and there are still many people who won't listen to me, so I'm afraid it's too late to talk about Jianguo. Too early."
"Isn't there a great opportunity to clean up the officialdom in Sichuan?" Bao Budong said with a smile.
"Oh?" Murong Fu's expression changed, even Song Qingshu outside became interested.
"Didn't Jia Sidao ask the young master to restrain his subordinates from sending troops, but the arrogant soldiers under him may not be obedient. The young master can make appropriate arrangements to make them lose, and then he can use military law to deal with a group of generals who are not directly related to the young master." Bao Differing Lower your voice.
The storm on the side frowned: "This is not what a gentleman should do."
"No, no, that kind of benevolence that you call a woman." Bao Budong disapproved, "My son's ambition is in the world, and the emperors of the past dynasties are the ones who stand shoulder to shoulder. Naturally, we can't evaluate it by ordinary moral standards."
Feng Bo'e opened his mouth, intending to refute, but he couldn't speak too much, Bao BuTong finally realized that he was a retainer of Murong's family, he sighed secretly, and stopped talking.
Song Qingshu outside the window thought to himself, this bag is different from what he usually looks at, but he would only make a fuss. He didn’t expect to come up with one or two good ideas occasionally. If Murong Fu operates according to what he said, he can indeed quickly establish a set that is loyal to himself. team.
He continued to listen for a while, and seeing that he could not hear anything of value, Song Qingshu retreated quietly. He originally planned to follow the example of Linghu Chong's experience when he came here this time, and to control Murong's relapse and give orders to solve the hidden dangers of the Jin Kingdom's western defense line. Knowing that Jia Sidao has already intervened, the Northern Expedition of the various armies in Sichuan will definitely end without a problem, so he naturally doesn't need to control Murong Fu, and plans to watch the show first.
Sure enough, within two days, the situation in Sichuan changed. Shen Xiaolong asked to take advantage of the victory to advance to Qinlong in order to contain the Jin army that invaded the Huaihe River. Murong Fu refused, and his morale suffered a great setback. On the same day, due to the delay in the arrival of support from the rear, Dasan Pass was taken back by Jin Bing again.
Guard Sun Zhongrui was furious, and when he came back, he went straight to Murong Fu's mansion before he could take off his blood-stained shirt, scolded him, and then left angrily.
Soon Murong Fu called Yang Juyuan to discuss, pointing out that Sun Zhongrui is a direct descendant of Han Tuozhou, and he only wanted to make contributions in the Northern Expedition and relieve Han Tuozhou's pressure on the Eastern Front. Although he is temporarily held down, who knows what he will do next, In case something goes wrong, what will happen to the prime minister.
Not long ago, Yang Juyuan changed his family and joined Jia Sidao under Han Tuozhou's command. He was always a little uneasy about this, thinking about making a contribution to gain a firm foothold in front of the new master.
So he agreed to Murong Fu's arrangement, and sent troops disguised as Jin soldiers to rob and kill Sun Zhongrui on his way to the new place.
This incident caused an uproar in the official circles in Sichuan. After all, the place where Sun Zhongrui was killed was within the control of the Southern Song Dynasty. How could there be Jin Bing? Because there was a fierce quarrel with Murong Fu just before, many people suspected that it was him who did it.
Different from other people's secret guesses, Sanqing Taoist Shen Xiaolong went directly to Murong Fu's mansion to question him. He has military power under his command, and his martial arts is strong, so he doesn't worry about what Murong Fu will do to him.
Faced with his repeated questioning, Murong Fu showed a hesitant expression, as if there was something difficult to say, and finally Shen Xiaolong retreated to the left and right, and went to the secret room with him to discuss, and Murong Fu hesitated to take out a document, It recorded the roster of the soldiers that Yang Juyuan mobilized a few days ago, as well as the details of all the actions, saying that this was the result of his investigation these days.
Knowing that the murderer was Yang Juyuan, Shen Xiaolong was extremely shocked, and at the same time expressed bewilderment and doubts. Then Murong Fu half-truthfully told him that Yang Juyuan was Jia Sidao's subordinate, and pointed out that he also wanted to conquer the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition. But he couldn't resist Jia Sidao's will, and Yang Juyuan was a pawn that Jia Sidao arranged to monitor him.
Before saying these words, Murong Fu had investigated Shen Xiaolong in detail, and knew that he was always neutral, he had neither joined Han Tuozhou nor was he under Jia Sidao's command, he could be said to be one of the rare people in the officialdom who was dedicated to the country.
As expected, Shen Xiaolong was filled with righteous indignation when he learned what happened. In his view, power struggle is one thing, but it is completely intolerable to gamble with the fate of the country and the lives of soldiers and civilians for the sake of power struggle.
Murong Fu looked at his expression, and continued to say that if he was not worried about the turmoil in Sichuan, he would definitely get rid of him with his own hands. After hearing this, Shen Xiaolong left thoughtfully.
Let’s say that after Song Qingshu eavesdropped on the conversation between Murong Fu and Yang Juyuan, he sent Ren Yingying down the river and told Dai Qisi not to be confused by the attack on the western front of Sichuan. Let him solve it.
If Song Qingshu had the choice to go to Jianghuai thousands of miles away, he would not let Ren Yingying travel all the way, but this time he was handing over to Dai Qisi, the relationship was too important to leak anything, so he could only send the closest people there. Fortunately, this trip went straight down the river, which saved a lot of traveling.
After Song Qingshu asked her to notify Dai Qisi, she continued to go to Yangzhou to inform Zhou Zhiruo to send troops westward, pretending to cooperate with the Song army to put pressure on the Kingdom of Jin and promote peace talks between the two sides.
After all, the Southern Song and Northern Expedition Golden Snake Camp agreed to participate, but they kept playing soy sauce, which has already aroused dissatisfaction among many people. In order to avoid losing people's hearts, the posture that should be done is still to be done.
After Ren Yingying left, Song Qingshu had been silently observing Murongfu's actions. On this day, he suddenly found Ruan Xingzhu: "Madam, shall we avenge you today?"
"Today?" Ruan Xingzhu was a little surprised. She said that during this period of time, her mood fluctuated greatly. At first, she was very happy to see the success of the Northern Expedition of the Sichuan armies, but then there was a wave of defeats. Recently, all the armies even died down. People mentioned the Northern Expedition.
When she was a little depressed, when she heard Song Qingshu's words, she couldn't react for a while.
Song Qingshu said meaningfully: "If you don't report today, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to take revenge in the future."
