Suzaku said seriously: "So Liu Yu's defense is just to prevent Sun En from landing again? Does that mean that he has to deal with Sun En's hundreds of thousands of people alone?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "This is Liu Yu's usual approach. Back in Luoyang, wasn't it the case that he fought with a mere 2,000 Beifu veterans against Murong Yong's tens of thousands of elites, and finally succeeded? It's just that Liu Laozhi is not Zhu Xu. He may want to kill Liu Yu more than the people of Tianshi Dao, so whether he can break out of the siege depends on whether he has this destiny."
Qinglong said in a deep voice: "We can't just sit back and watch. No matter what, we have to help Liu Yucai."
Bai Hu curled his lips: "If you want to help, you can do it yourself. I can't help anyway. My good master's death needs to be dealt with. I also need to control Bai Hu's resources. You can handle this matter as you see fit."
He stood up, picked up Wang Xun's body on the ground, put it on his shoulders, and strode outside: "You can decide on the candidates for the important officials in the court after Wang Xun's death. Anyway, this matter is with me. It doesn’t matter, just tell me when you need to make connections with the aristocratic family.”
The secret door opened and they were reunited. There were only two people left in the hall, sitting opposite each other. Qinglong sighed quietly: "I didn't expect that we still need to wear masks like this all day long. It's really ironic to speak in such an identity."
Suzaku said coldly: "From the moment you and I made the choice to join the organization, this was the result. Moreover, your decision to join the organization was also an important reason why I made up my mind to join. Of course, it is not decisive."
Qinglong shook his head helplessly: "You still blame me for harming your ex? In fact, I am doing this for your own good."
Suzaku said flatly: "You don't need to decide whether I am good or bad, Master Qinglong. Don't forget your current identity and the occasion you are in. We are only talking about business here."
Qinglong gritted his teeth: "Okay, business is business. Now that Wang Xun is dead, what will happen next? Who will be in charge of the government?"
Suzaku said expressionlessly: "When Wang Xun was alive, he was the leader of the family, the leader of the Langya Wang family. Together with Wang Ningzhi, he became the representative of the big family. He could restrain Sima Daozi and his son. But now. , these two people died one after another. Even if Bai Hu can use the excuses of sudden illness and overwork to deal with Wang Xun's death, death is death after all. Sima Daozi's family must be the dominant one, and no one in the court can restrain him."
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Sima Daozi is now drinking and beauties every day, drunk and dreaming, almost ignoring things, but his little prodigy son is very busy. Unfortunately, most of his knowledge and methods come from Zhang Fashun, a mediocre person. The Lefu Order this time had already caused big trouble. If Wang Xun hadn't made many efforts to remedy the situation later, I'm afraid that even the Beifu Army wouldn't have been able to dispatch this time. Now that Liu Laozhi has completely surrendered to Sima Yuanxian, if Sima Yuanxian is to give the order Liu Laozhi rescues Liu Yu, and he will not disobey."
Suzaku sighed: "Okay, leave it to me to convince Sima Yuanxian. This guy doesn't want to see Liu Yu die like this. However, he and Huan Xuan are sworn enemies. As long as Yuan Xian After one day in power, Huanxuan will definitely send troops to the capital. The current strength of Wu is too weakened and cannot withstand another war with Jingzhou."
Qinglong sneered: "Don't our good predecessors think they can control everything and provoke civil war? I have always agreed with Liu Yu. When the Northern Expedition succeeds and seizes the entire world, we will then distribute the benefits. It will not be limited to the current situation. Is it much better for half of the country to fight among themselves?"
Suzaku shook his head: "It's too late to say this now. Fortunately, this time the demon thieves caused trouble, and the rebels in the north did not take the opportunity to go south to rob. Murong Lan was a big help, and was able to help Hou Yan stabilize the situation that was almost collapsed. It's a pity that this time Women are not men, otherwise, our Dajin would be in trouble."
Qinglong smiled and said: "If Murong Lan were a man, the kings of the Murong clan would not be rushing to fawn over and rely on them as their backers. They would probably join forces to get rid of her first. Just because she is a woman, it is impossible for her to ascend to the big position. At most, she is just an assistant and the leader of spies, so others want her to help rather than guard against her. In addition, she has been with Liu Yu for these years and has no foundation in the country, especially since there is almost no influence in the military. Even if I want to do something, it’s impossible.”
Suzaku curled up his lips: "Your news in the north is too backward. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty gathered all the grassland tribes and sent more than 400,000 cavalry south to destroy Yan, the Yan army's thousands-mile Great Wall defense line was broken everywhere. In ten months, Bingzhou was defeated Murong Nong of Monan and Murong Lin of Monan were defeated because they did not rescue each other and fled back to Yecheng. Now Tuoba Si has divided his troops into three groups, broke through the Eighth Route of Taihang, fully entered the hinterland of Hebei, and divided his troops to besiege. Zhongshan and Xindu are important towns in the Yan Kingdom."
Qinglong's face changed: "How could it be like this? I went to Wu, and the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Yan in a big way? How could a big state like Bingzhou be thrown away at the drop of a hat?"
Suzaku sighed: "The reason why the Yan Kingdom was strong before was entirely due to Murong Chui. Not only was he outstanding in military ability, but he was also able to control his sons so that they did not dare to make mistakes. After Murong Chui's death, Murong Bao After he ascended the throne, he did nothing else. He first killed the younger Queen Duan who had persuaded Murong Chui to depose him. This caused other brothers such as Murong Nong and Murong Long to be in danger, not to mention leading troops outside and following him. He had a deep hatred for Murong Lin. Once people's hearts are broken, there is no cure. Tuoba Si saw this and took the opportunity to send troops. He wanted to take advantage of Hou Yan's new mourning and fierce internal fighting to destroy him in one fell swoop. This powerful enemy!"
Qinglong gritted his teeth: "With Murong De and Murong Lan here, it shouldn't be so easy to eliminate them. However, after the last battle of Shen Hebei, most of the Yan army returned to their families and farmed. After all, after years of fighting, the battle of Shen Hebei was another They had lost many years of grain and grass savings, and if they stopped producing, they would have nothing to eat. The Wei army was a nomadic herder on the grassland. In the autumn and winter, their fat and strong horses were a good time for them to send troops to fight. I originally thought that the natural dangers of Bingzhou and Taihang could stop them. Half a year, I postponed the counterattack until next spring, but I didn’t expect that it would only take one month..."
A cold light flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "I'm afraid that at this moment, in Zhongshan, the capital of Yan State, above the court hall, they are arguing fiercely about how to deal with the offensive of the Northern Wei army, which is like a black cloud pressing down on the city. No. Knowing what choice our Princess Murong will make at this time, can she help Hou Yan survive this difficulty?"
