Murong Fu said happily, "Similarly, Shuang'er is younger than Qing'er, so she also needs the love of her brother and the care of her sister."
"If Qing'er encounters trouble in the future, my sister will stand firmly by your side and protect you as a relative and a family member."
Xue Qing suddenly understood something after listening to her father's teachings. Then when she looked at her babbling sister, the disappointment in her eyes lightened a lot, and she took the initiative to extend her little hand.
Shuang'er had just woken up and was most lively when she waved her little hand and directly grabbed Xue Qing's little finger. She had a pair of bright and childlike eyes, and her smile was like two crescents, so cute.
"It's so soft..."
Xue Qing felt the temperature coming from her little finger and couldn't help but reach out and poke Shuang'er's face.
Shuang'er was stunned for a moment and grabbed Xue Qing with her other hand.
Xue Qing subconsciously stretched her face over, and Shuang'er held her cheek with a small hand and kissed her suddenly, which scared Xue Qing and took a few steps back.
"Jia...Jiajia..."
Shuang'er waved her little hands and shouted something hard. Although her speech was unclear, to Xue Qing's ears, it was clear that the little girl was calling "sister". ?.?????.???
"Shuang'er is so good, call me sister again, and I will buy you candied haws!"
Xue Qing hurriedly came over and pressed her face against the little girl's face, with an excited smile on her face.
Murong Fu looked at the harmonious two sisters and felt indescribable joy in his heart.
As a man, he not only shows less consideration and concern for the confidants around him, but also lacks much companionship and understanding of his own children.
Before this, he had never thought that Qing'er, the most favored person at home, would actually have a conflicting mentality after suddenly having a younger sister. If he hadn't discovered it by chance today, he would probably have had trouble with the two of them in the future. It left quite a shadow in the child's heart.
Just as Murong Fu was lamenting this, the housekeeper of Murong Mansion came to report that it was Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jurchen clan, who was asking for an audience.
Murong Fu seemed to have already made a guess. After asking Xue Qing to carry his sister to find his aunt, he came to the living room alone.
"I've met the head of the Murong family!"
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a felt hat, animal skins and boots appeared in front of Murong Fu and bowed.
He came alone without any followers, which shows his courage.
Murong Fu returned the favor politely, and also recognized that the man in front of him was Wanyan Aguda, the current leader of the Jurchen tribe, and the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty who opposed the Liao Dynasty in history.
"Clan Chief Wanyan is here today. What's the purpose of your visit?"
After Murong Fu asked him to sit down, a maid served him some new tea.
Wanyan Aguda has been extremely strong since he was a child and has always been the most powerful warrior among the Jurchen tribe. In addition, he is the son of the clan leader. He has never been convinced by others. However, it was not until he met Murong Fu that he truly admired a person from the bottom of his heart. people.
The other party was superior to him in terms of culture, military strategy, and marching and fighting, so he also respected Murong Fu's attitude very much.
"I came here uninvited today because I have an important matter that I want to ask the head of the Murong family for advice. I also hope that the head of the family can give some suggestions to our clan."
Murong Fu said, "Clan Chief Wanyan might as well say it straight and I will do my best."
Wanyan Aguda: "The Murong family master must know the struggle for imperial power in the Liao Kingdom better than anyone else. I am a rough man and I will not show off in front of the family master."
"The head of the family should know that our Jurchen clan has been oppressed and humiliated by the Liao people. Now that the two major political powers of the Liao Kingdom are fighting, no matter whether they win or lose, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation. When either side decides the winner, it will also be the Liao. When the country is at its weakest.”
"Right now, many members of my Jurchen tribe have no choice but to continue living in the cold places around the Changbai Mountains due to land issues. For the sake of my tribe and to resist the oppression of the Liao Kingdom over the years, our Jurchen tribe plans to take the opportunity to attack the Liao Kingdom. I wonder what the head of the Murong family thinks about the expansion of power in the country's border town?"
Wanyan Aguda stared at Murong Fu with burning eyes.
"This is a major military matter for the nobles. Why can Clan Chief Wanyan trust me so much and tell me frankly?"
Murong Fu glanced at him thoughtfully, took a sip of tea, and asked in a neutral tone.
When Wanyan Aguda saw that he had noticed what he was thinking, he was not embarrassed and said, "To be honest, although my Jurchen tribe has many members, facing the vast territory of Liao Kingdom, I don't have the slightest confidence that I can conquer them all. Even if we capture the city, we may not be able to hold it."
"Therefore, I, Wanyan Aguda, want to represent the entire Jurchen clan and form an alliance with the head of the Murong family, and jointly take advantage of the situation to attack the Liao Kingdom."
"I believe that if the Murong family and the allies of the Yanbei Army join, we will definitely be able to cut off the head of the Liao Emperor and carve up this northern land together."
Wanyan Aguda's eyes were full of ambition and desire, and he spoke with passion.
Murong Fu laughed at this.
"I have already experienced the strength of the Jurchen tribe. I believe that under the leadership of Clan Chief Wanyan, the remaining tribesmen can escape from that barren land. However, the current reputation of the Jurchen tribe is far from enough to follow me. Form alliances.”
When Wanyan Agu inquired about it, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened and said, "I wonder if Patriarch Murong thinks that our Jurchen clan still lacks something?"
Murong Fu said, "What is lacking is momentum!"
"Position?"
Wanyan Aguda was puzzled.
"Strictly speaking, there are still many tribes in the Jurchen tribe that have not completely surrendered to the clan leader, right? If you want to achieve great things, 'the right time, the right place, and the right people' are indispensable. Now today, you have occupied Liaoyang Mansion and so on The land can barely be considered a good location, but in the end, the most important thing is the people and the relationship, but it’s really not that good.”
Murong Fu sighed.
"What the Murong family leader means is that as long as I unify all the Jurchen tribes, I am qualified to form an alliance with the family leader?"
Wanyan Aguda regained his confidence.
He came to seek advice and help from Murong Fu, so he was naturally not afraid of being attacked by him.
Murong Fu said, "This is one of them. Unifying the tribe is just the first step. If you want to truly achieve 'harmony', you need the entire Jurchen tribe to work together and gather the power of faith, which is what I just called momentum. "
"Please forgive me for being ignorant. I can't quite understand what the head of the family said."
Wanyan Aguda asked nervously.
Murong Fu glanced at him and said with an unpredictable expression, "If you want to unite the people and gather faith in a short period of time, the easiest way is to establish a country. In this way, the Jurchen people will have a place of faith and can form a state." The so-called 'potential'."
"When you have this 'power', you Jurchen clan will be able to move forward without any obstacles."
"Instead of living under the shadow of being exploited and oppressed by the Khitans."
Wanyan Agu inquired, breathing heavily, and her eyes became more determined.
It’s not that he has never thought about what Murong Fu said, but his Jurchen tribe is currently using the banner of the tribe. If they are defeated in the future, they will still leave a leeway for future generations, but if they dare to openly seize the territory of the Liao Kingdom, And found the country and proclaimed himself emperor.
He was undoubtedly determined to fight to the death with the Liao Kingdom.
When interests cause conflicts, there is still the possibility of mediation, but if it comes to having to divide the interests, it will be a life-or-death situation.
