Although Shangguan Changgong asked this question in a very calm tone, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, this question was as heavy as a thousand pounds in Chen Jingyu's ears... ···················Chen Jingyu was not sure whether Shangguan Changgong had heard anything. After thinking quickly for a while, he replied to Shangguan Changgong: "The people from the Coordination Office have contacted Murong Shangshu!" After hearing this answer, Shangguan Changgong still asked with an expressionless face: "Does Murong Lun have any response?" Chen Jingyu continued: "Murong Shangshu didn't respond!" Shangguan Changgong couldn't help but smile when he heard this. With a sneer, he said: "What a no-response!" He knew that Murong Lun had no response to Feng Wujun's solicitation, not because of how loyal he was to the Luo'an court, but because this old guy Murong Lun was waiting for a price. .
Now that the Fengwu Army has arrived at the door of the house, the old guy Murong Lun is also starting to think about jumping off the ship!
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Shangguan Changgong's eyes, but he still waved to Chen Jingyu calmly. Upon seeing this, Chen Jingyu bowed to Shangguan Changgong again and then bowed and left the room.
After leaving Shangguan Mansion, Chen Jingyu returned to his own home. Sitting on the chair, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. After hesitating for a while, he quickly wrote a letter and gave it to his confidant to send away.
An hour later, the letter written by Chen Jingyu appeared in Murong Lun's hands. Murong Lun couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he read the letter Chen Jingyu wrote to him... ········At this moment, he had a bad premonition in his heart. The last time he had such a bad premonition was the last time Shi Huairen fell into Shangguan Hongyuan's plan.
In this letter written by Chen Jingyu to herself, Chen Jingyu told Murong Lun everything about what happened when Shangguan Changgong summoned him just now.
And at the end of the letter, Chen Jingyu also explained to Murong Lun why he wanted to tell Shangguan Changgong that Feng Wujun had contacted Murong Lun!
Chen Jingyu said that although he is the commander of the Supervision Department, he cannot dominate the Supervision Department. Some thousands of households in the Supervision Department can report directly to the superior officer Gong.
Because of the previous incident, Shangguan Changgong didn't trust him very much. During his tenure, he has been trying to make moves in the Supervision Department, so if he covers up for Murong Lun, then he is likely to be suspected by Shangguan Changgong. .
Murong Lun didn't really care about Chen Jingyu's explanation. What he cared about was that Chen Jingyu would send him a letter at this time.
He has always had a lot of exchanges of interests with Chen Jingyu. Chen Jingyu also tried his best to cover up Murong Lun within the scope of his authority. This was largely the reason why Murong Lun was able to survive Shangguan Hongyuan's purge last time. One of the reasons...···························Otherwise, Shangguan Hongyuan, the god of death, would know what Murong Lun did behind his back As for the matter, last time I was afraid that I would have killed Murong Lun together with Shi Huairen!
Although Chen Jingyu helped Murong Lun a lot, Chen Jingyu had never taken refuge with Murong Lun, and the two sides only had a cooperative relationship.
With the death of Shangguan Hongyuan, Chen Jingyu felt a stab in his back when Shangguan Changgong came to power. In order to ensure his own safety, he was ostensibly very obedient to Shangguan Changgong.
But secretly he and Murong Lun were also very close, and the fact that Chen Jingyu was able to write such a letter to Murong Lun at this time fully demonstrated his true thoughts at this time.
After putting down the letter, Murong Lun closed his eyes and fell into thinking. Yesterday, Tang Peng finally sent him a reply letter, in which Tang Peng expressed a meaning.
The Fengwu Army's offensive was very rapid, and reinforcements and supplies were continuously sent and assembled to Wei Pass. Therefore, if the imperial court could ensure reinforcements and logistical supplies, there was still a 50% chance of holding Wei Pass. However, if the backup was not effective, Wei Guan may even fall this month!
As the powerful boss of the Luo'an court, Murong Lun is very clear about the situation in the court.
Shangguan Changgong originally hoped to use peace talks to buy time with the Fengwu Army so that the Luoan court could adjust its troop deployment, coordinate material supplies, and negotiate with the Kipchak Khanate to win reinforcements from the Kipchak Khanate... ·········································································But Ye Mingsheng was not a fool. He naturally saw Shangguan Changgong’s little plan. After the normal rest and rotation, the attack on Weiguan began immediately, without giving the Luoan court any time to breathe.
At the same time, in response to Shangguan Changgong's desire to sacrifice Yongliang land in exchange for the Kipchak Khanate, the Fengwu Army used military aid as bait to instigate the Luobi people, and frequently made military moves to attack the Kipchak people on the Elonqen grassland. pasture.
As a nomadic people, pasture and cattle and sheep are their core interests. Compared with the barren Yongliang grassland, the Elonqen grassland with rich water and grass has undoubtedly a higher status in the hearts of the Kipchaks.
Therefore, even as the Great Khan, Esdogan wanted to reach an agreement with the Luo'an court as soon as possible to help the Luo'an court stop the Fengwu army from unifying the Zhou Dynasty.
However, there are also quite strong opposition voices within the Kipchak Khanate. These objections believe that even if the Kipchak Khanate really wants to assist the Luoan court, it should ask for more benefits!
One Yongliang is far from enough. You also need to have annual coins. You must have at least 50,000 taels of silver and 50,000 pieces of cloth every year!
Although Shangguan Changgong felt humiliated at first about the condition of Sui coins, in order to keep the Luoan court alive, he was ready to accept it with his nose pinched!
But these Kipchak barbarians were too greedy. Seeing the superiors respectfully agreeing to these conditions, they raised the price again... ·After seeing this over and over again that the Kipchaks were not sincere at all, Shangguan Changgong couldn't bear it no matter how much he tried to endure, and the negotiations between the two sides reached a complete deadlock!
At present, the Kipchaks' reinforcements are far away, and the situation in Weiguan is difficult to continue to provide assistance. In addition to the 20,000 troops guarding Luo'an, and some garrison troops as far away as Sichuan and Shu, the imperial troops can basically be assembled. , they have all gathered in Weiguan!
Judging from Chen Jingyu's letter, Murong Lun boldly guessed that Shangguan Changgong was going to make a desperate move and send Luo'an's troops to Wei Pass!
So there is a new problem! Why did Shangguan Changgong leave 20,000 troops in Luo'an in the first place?
The answer is actually very simple. The purpose of these 20,000 troops is to guard against some powerful people from aristocratic families headed by Murong Lun and prevent them from rebelling!
And now if 20,000 soldiers and horses are sent to support Weiguan, Shangguan Changgong will definitely worry that he will take advantage of the situation to cause chaos, so he will definitely think of a solution to the problem before leaving!
And what will be the solution to this problem? Thinking of this, Murong Lun's expression became more serious and gloomy. He knew that the current Shangguan Changgong was like a gambler who was about to lose everything. His reason was gradually being swallowed up by madness, and he would most likely make a crazy decision. Holding the butcher knife high like his father did not long ago... The court is short of money, lack of medicine, and lack of everything. And the Murong family does still have some of these things, so Shangguan Changgong is very likely to raise his butcher knife and attack the Murong family.
In this way, they can obtain the property of the Murong family and relieve the imperial court's already collapsed finances. Secondly, Shangguan Changgong has always regarded the Murong family as a hidden danger, and now he can eliminate the hidden danger.
Thirdly, Shangguan Changgong can also use the heads of the Murong family to establish his authority and put all the power of the court in his hands!
In the past, Shangguan Changgong fought against the Fengwu Army for the sake of the stability of the court and could tolerate the existence of the Murong family. However, the situation has become so bad that Shangguan Changgong no longer has too many scruples!
Thinking of this, Murong Lun couldn't help but sigh. What he could think of, Shangguan Changgong could also think of. If he were Shangguan Changgong, he would definitely chop the knife on the Murong family. This is indeed a move. Wonderful move!
Murong Lun is now certain that Shangguan Changgong will definitely kill himself and his party members, and he will do it very quickly!
Murong Lun's eyes couldn't help but narrowed when he thought of this. Since Shangguan Changgong wanted to kill him, he would simply kill him first!
During this time in the Luo'an court, Shangguan's sword was always placed on his neck. When Shangguan Hongyuan was alive, with his ability to control the imperial army, Murong Lun had no good solution but to wait for death. ····························However, with the death of Shangguan Hongyuan, it has become an open secret in the Luo'an court. His prestige and control ability are far inferior to those of his dead father, so Murong Lun also managed to win over some Forbidden Army generals under the cover of Chen Jingyu!
Although these generals don't have many soldiers and horses, they still have thousands of people. If they move quickly enough, they can definitely decide the world and kill Shangguan Changgong in one battle!
As long as Shangguan Changgong dies, his followers will disperse, Luo'an will fall under his control, and he will have more bargaining chips with Fengwu Army!
Realizing this, Murong Lun felt a little helpless in his heart. It would be great if there was no Fengwu Army. Then he could be like Shangguan Hongyuan and be as arbitrary as Shangguan Hongyuan. Come and sit!
After his thoughts were immersed in fantasy for a moment, Murong Lun shook his head slightly and returned to reality. He first called his confidants to prepare for the retreat of the core members of the family.
Although he was very confident that he could strike first, Murong Lun knew very well the consequences if this matter failed. The Shi family was raided and the Yi clan was slaughtered right before their eyes!
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected, so Murong Lun must prepare for the worst before going all out!
After arranging the retreat of his tribe, Murong Lun wrote another letter to Tang Peng, telling him that he was ready to take over the city defense of Weiguan and wait for his orders... ··········Wei Guan, an important bargaining chip for them to negotiate with the Fengwu Army, must be in their own hands. If the old man Ma Chongyang opens the city gate without permission and lets the Fengwu Army in, they can All the chips are gone!
After completing the first two steps, Murong Lun began to write letters to the generals of the Forbidden Army he had won over. The situation is now very dangerous. Shangguan Changgong may take action at any time. It is better to do things sooner rather than later. So although it is very hasty, Murong Lun decided to get up tonight. The incident caught Shanggang Gong off guard!
I was not prepared on my side, and I believe that Shangguan Changgong was not prepared on his side either. The situation was completely settled in one night!
··············································· ···················Yi Jing, Ye Mingsheng, who did not know that something big was about to happen in Luo An, looked very gloomy at this time, while Huo San in the hall He stood still with some fear.
Ye Mingsheng really didn't expect that Shangguan Changgong had gone so far. He sent people to threaten An Miaoyi with the lives of the An family, and asked An Miaoyi to persuade him to negotiate peace and stop attacking Wei Pass. This made Ye Mingsheng very angry. He felt Shangguan Changgong has no bottom line at all!
It was impossible to stop the war on his own, but the lives of the An family were equally important. Although An Miaoyi stated that the overall situation of the Fengwu Army was the most important thing, Ye Mingsheng naturally had to have some scruples. After all, these people are An Miaoyi's flesh and blood. Close relatives.
Therefore, although he was very angry at Shangguan Changgong's behavior, Ye Mingsheng also knew that he could not provoke Shangguan Changgong at this time. After all, Shangguan Changgong was already acting like a trapped beast at this time. He had completely lost his mind. He would dare to do anything now. Dry!
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng told Huo San: "Tell Shangguan Changgong through your channels that I, Mr. Ye, have no personal enmity with them, so we should all keep a secret line so that we can meet each other in the future!"
"If they dare to touch anyone from the An family! When the Fengwu Army enters Luo'an, it will be the day when the nine clans of the Shangguan family will fall into submission!"
"Of course, if he gives me face, I, Mr. Ye, can also promise to treat the Shangguan clan well and never kill indiscriminately!" Here Ye Mingsheng paused and continued: "Your coordination office must be prepared for the worst, if If Shangguan Chief Gong really wants to take action, then your Coordination Office should try your best to rescue Mrs. An’s mother and some close family members!" Huo San also nodded heavily when he heard this and said: "I understand, I understand, our Coordination Office will take action. We will definitely do our best to ensure their life safety·····························
