Chapter six hundred and thirteen: long-term plan
Wan Quan squinted his eyes and looked at Xinxiang County in the distance. The wrinkles on his face became deeper. From Murong Hong's perspective, Wan Quan's back was even more powerful than in previous years.
The drizzle like cow hair floated in the sky was not worth mentioning for a general like me, but it was not good for Wanquan, who was already in his twilight years and was not familiar with martial arts at all.
Twenty years, a full twenty years have passed. Since Wan Quan followed him into the mountain, assisted himself in controlling the power of the Murong clan, and then integrated the power of the clan and unify the entire barbarian clan, Wan Quan has worked hard, and has transformed from the heroic young scholar in his image to the white-haired old man today.
In Murong Hong's heart, Wanquan is actually his clan member and relative.
He walked over and helped Wanquan and whispered: "Master Wan, stop watching, go back!"
Wan Quan shook his head gently: "The name of the rock is indeed well-known. It is really like a rock, without moving at all, without any flaws."
Under the command of Xiaomao Zhang Xiaozheng, the Panshi Camp of the Ming Empire entered Xinxiang. The Rui Camp, which arrived in advance and defeated Murong Kaishan in Xinxiang, camped outside the city. The two Ming teams attacked and defended one by one, supporting each other, allowing Murong Hong to take over Xinxiang's repeated attacks, and returned in disgrace.
With Jiang Haokun losing battles in Tzu Chi and Xinhua, the army was lost half and retreating back to Fuyuan in a mess. On Murong Hong's side, he did not take Xinxiang himself, Murong Cheng did not destroy the Jumu Camp, and Zhan Taihai was just an indissoluble situation in front of the Hongshui Camp. This ambitious uprising had come to an end in advance.
"It's over, yes, it's time to go back." Wan Quan murmured. "It's a pity that this opportunity is here. This time, I'll have a chance next time. The rule of the Ming Empire will become stronger and stronger, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities in the future."
"Teacher Wan, I have never seen you be so discouraged!" Although I suffered repeated failures, Murong Hong still looked calm: "Temporary failure is nothing. As long as we are still there, there is still a chance. Compared to twenty years ago, we are in a very good situation now. Teacher Wan, do you still remember that twenty years ago, you followed me back to the mountains and back to the Murong tribe's situation at that time?"
Wan Quan laughed: "Of course I remember, I was so stupid at that time. I thought I had arrived in a savage tribe and kept scolding you as a student who deceived me."
"Yes, we were really like savages at that time!" Murong Hong said with emotion: "Ten years of birth, Wanshi, we made the Murong clan stronger again. Ten years ago, with your help, my Murong clan was able to thrive and unify all tribes in the mountains. That ten years was actually the most difficult time for us. There were several times when we were almost facing the danger of extermination. But later, Tuoba, Zhantai, Duanmu, and other tribes that were once far stronger than us were all buried under our feet. So Wanshi, I don't agree with what you said, there is no chance. For me, this is just a temporary loss of opportunity. We must be a brave tiger like in the past, hiding in the grass from the woods, staring at our prey with wide eyes. As long as he showed a flaw, we will jump out and bite his fatal place."
Wan Quan smiled and said, "The world outside the mountain is still very different. Our situation may be even more difficult."
"As long as you are a human, you will have weaknesses." Murong Hong raised his head, looked at the Great Ming Sun and Moon Flag flying in the distance, and said with confidence: "This time, our only mistake is that we did not correctly recognize the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. They are indeed tigers in the mountains and dragons in the sea, but our Great Swallow Warriors are not soft-boys, let's take a look!"
"Yes, let's see!" Wan Quan murmured: "Thousands of years ago, Emperor Li Qing gathered the strength of the whole country to defeat Murong Ke, but now, the mainland is divided into four, and they fight each other endlessly and have many conflicts. The pattern we face is much better than that time. We now not only have vast mountains, but also have the land of the four counties of Fuyuan. Without the barrier of the four counties of Fuyuan, the Ming Empire's Yuejing City will always be under our threat. As you said, we can bite him at any time."
Murong Hong laughed: "This is the Wanshi Master in my mind. I never get discouraged or afraid. But Wanshi Master, Fuyuan is still in Jiang Haokun's hands!"
Wan Quan sneered: "A guy with great ambition and talent, his heart is higher than the sky, but it's a pity that his life is thinner than paper, and it's not worth mentioning. Your Majesty, I still have a big article in my heart. After I go back, we will do it. The Tang Dynasty lost its deer and divided it into four countries. But this time, we want to let the eagle flag of the Great Yan fly high. The current continent is not a dispute between the four countries, but a competition between the five countries."
"Then it will take ten thousand troops to work hard, ten thousand troops, the rain is annoying. You are weak, so let's go back. You can't make any mistakes. I am Ning Qianjun and I will never lose you." Murong Hong said.
Wan Quan smiled: "Don't worry, the broken jar is soaked. Don't look at me as if I could die there at any time. It's not that easy to die. I also have to watch the big swallow eagle flag roaming around and stunning the world!"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Turning around, Murong Hong supported Wan Quan, and the two slowly walked back. Behind them, teams of Yan State cavalry slowly rode their horses, following them dozens of steps away.
After a long battle, Murong Hong had to retreat. In the direction of Tzu Chi, part of the Shanshan Camp of the Ming Empire was already advancing towards Tzu Chi. The miners' camp, the death camp, and the Houtu camp led by Qin Feng were also approaching Jiang Haokun. If Jiang Haokun could not defend Ningyuan, it would be disastrous for the entire situation.
If Ning Yuan is not protected, Fuyuan will be difficult to defend. Even if Murong Hong defeated the enemy in front of him and reached the capital of Yuejing, there are still elite troops of the Ming army in Yuejing. At that time, if the enemy has not been defeated, he may have no way out and was cut off from the connection with the mountains behind him. If that were the case, the Great Yan would become a source of water and a tree without roots, and would become a bandit.
Go back and first manage the four counties of Fuyuan firmly, and then look for an opportunity to compete with the Ming Empire. It is easy for Jiang Haokun to invite the gods to send the gods to the gods. Since Dayan has stepped out of the mountains, he is not ready to go back in shame. If Jiang Haokun knows the truth, he will be honest and reward him with a bowl of rice. He still has the same tolerance as others. If he wants to compete for dominance with himself, he will be sorry, and there will be one more person in the Hall of Yama.
In the central army tent, Murong Jing sat on a chair and put on his upper body. A military doctor was carefully taking out the arrows and various hidden weapons for him one by one. On the ground under his feet, more than a dozen various types of innovating hidden weapons had been taken out.
Murong Jing was very upset this time. Since being decked by Ying Gu, in order to attract this evil spirit, he left the team and hooked the other party all the way, so as not to catch up with the main force. Murong Jing did not think that he would be much worse than her at first, but after that battle, he finally realized the gap between himself and the master. It was a little bit different, just a little bit, and he explained it to him.
She finally escaped from the sky, but the price she paid was seriously injured. So much so that during the next escape, no matter what cat or dog, she dared to come up to bully her. The female master Yinggu seemed to have lost interest in doing things without killing her in a battle, and she actually left. If she continued to pursue her relentlessly, it would be a big deal to say whether she could come back.
The grandmaster's temper is really weird and he is completely straightforward. No wonder in various countries, the grandmasters are almost uncontrolled. They come whenever they want, and go whenever they want.
But despite this, Da Yan is indeed unsatisfied in terms of top combat power, not even a master. This time he escaped from Ying Gu by chance. This experience is extremely rare. Murong Jing has made up his mind to go to seclusion and practice after he comes back, and to reach that barrier. If he can become a master, then he will not have the power to fight with the other master on the battlefield in the future.
You should know that in addition to Yinggu, Ming Dynasty also has another He Rentu with greater lethality. Others such as Huo Guang are only one step away from the Grandmaster.
"Uncle, are you okay?" The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the tent. Murong Hong stepped into the tent with one step, looking at Murong Jing's bloody body and the gadgets on the ground, his face changed slightly.
"Don't worry, your Majesty, you can't die." Murong Jing sighed: "It's a pity that the spy network we have operated in Yuejing for many years has disappeared after this battle."
"It's okay!" Murong Hong said: "The spy network is gone, we can build it again, as long as the uncle is fine."
"I don't know what Wu Jing is like now?" Murong Jing smiled bitterly: "Since I was separated from them halfway, I have no news about them. I hope Tuobayan can live up to my entrustion and protect Wu Jing to escape. Otherwise, our sacrifice will be worthless this time."
"Tuobayan?" Murong Hong was slightly surprised, "Is it one of our spies?"
"No, a very good young man." Murong Jing nodded. "If he can come back, His Majesty will have one more general."
