Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

When Murong Fu returned to Yanziwu, it was already dawn.

The journey of three hundred miles was completed in just half an hour. It was no exaggeration to say that it was like riding the wind.

As soon as he returned to Chanhe Manor, Murong Fu ordered, "Abi, little girl, go and ask your master to come. Azhu, get ready. This young master needs to take a bath and change clothes."

It's over, Murong Bo, the shadow that has been hanging over your head for thirty years is finally over.

There really isn't much to express emotion about. Regardless of his past and present lives, Murong Fu had an irresponsible father. His biological father in his previous life went to pursue his so-called happiness when Murong Fu was very young, and it was his mother who raised her sickly son with food and medicine. His mother was also a sickly child, and eventually died of chronic disease before she reached her prime. When his father found out, he said, "Your mother deserved to die." Murong Fu was so angry that he almost got internal injuries. After all, because the other party was his biological father, he resisted the urge to beat him up, but he just lost contact from then on.

Murong Bo and his father in his previous life ended up in the same place. They were both the kind of people who were unreliable and would harm their sons without considering the consequences.

In past and present lives, the source of all his misfortunes was his own father. If he said he had any special feelings about imprisoning Murong Bo, that would be weird.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery, your lovely wife and concubines, and the present moment. As for the rest, just let it be as it comes and don't force it.

Ah Zhu helped Murong Fu tie up his hair with a jade hairpin and changed him into home clothes. After everything was ready, Su Xinghe also arrived.

Perhaps it was because the heavy burden on his heart had long been lifted, or perhaps it was because the food in Yanziwu was so good, Su Xinghe, who was skinny and emaciated a few years ago and weighed probably about 80 kilograms, suddenly became plump. If you ignore the shrewd and fierce light that occasionally flashed in his eyes, he looks like a rich country tycoon who enjoys playing with his grandchildren.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to be getting healthier and healthier lately."

Su Xinghe said with a smile.

After the usual greetings, the brothers went straight to the point.

"How is the situation in Liaodong?" Murong Fu asked.

Su Xinghe said, "At the beginning of February this year, the chaos in Khitan was not big, but not small either. Xiren Gao Daocheng took advantage of the dead of night and sneaked into Linhuang Prefecture with 27 tribesmen. What do you think?"

Murong Fu said: "Linhuang Prefecture is the capital of Liao, and there are no less than 30,000 soldiers left behind. What's the difference between these 27 people going there and sending themselves to die?"

Su Xinghe smiled mysteriously and shook his head: "You are totally wrong! These 27 people entered the city, quickly sneaked into the mansion of Shangjing garrison, and stole the military token. Another team of people opened the armory. My goodness, in one night, the Xi people inside and outside the city cooperated internally and externally and occupied the entire Shangjing Prefecture in one go. In the next month, Gao Daocheng attacked cities and occupied 12 states in a row, calling himself the 'King of Dongdan'. Now the Emperor of Liao has mobilized heavy troops and recruited soldiers from various ethnic groups such as the Jurchen to encircle and suppress Gao Daocheng. I think this chaos will continue for about half a year."

Murong Fu was stunned: "No way? The Liao Dynasty, which once dominated the world and boasted a million soldiers, is so vulnerable?"

Su Xinghe chuckled, "It's true that he has millions of soldiers, but it's also true that he is vulnerable. The Liao Kingdom has been tormented by the incompetent emperor Yelu Hongji for decades, and it has long been a huge pile of dry firewood. It only needs a spark to burst on it and it will be a raging fire. However, it is difficult for him, a leader of the Xi tribe with high achievements, to cause such a big commotion. I asked Mu Hua to inquire from various sources, and it seems that the reason why this turmoil can last so long is that there is the shadow of the Great Song Imperial City Department behind it. It seems that the little emperor is also unwilling to be lonely."

Murong Fu asked, "Why do you think it was the little emperor who was making trouble? Maybe it was Empress Dowager Gao's idea?"

Su Xinghe smiled and said, "Junior brother, you don't understand. When Emperor Shenzong passed away, the first thing Gao Taotao did after taking power was to abandon the four Mizhi villages that he had finally taken back from Xixia. Now that several years have passed, and Gao Taotao is not sure when he will die, could it be that he is unwilling to be lonely and is resorting to tactics to change the situation?"

"I see. Speaking of which, Senior Brother, do you think this Xi guy can accomplish anything after making such a big fuss this time?"

Of course Murong Fu was worried.

He wanted Aguda to work for the Liao Kingdom and use this incident to grow and expand himself. If that so-called Taoist master really succeeded, wouldn't he be harming Aguda?

Su Xinghe shook his head: "There is absolutely no such possibility."

"Didn't Senior Brother Su say that Shangjing was easily captured by dozens of people?"

Su Xinghe said: "Although the Liao Kingdom is vast, most of the area is actually grasslands and deserts. The real core area is the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. I have been paying attention to the developments in the Yanyun area in the past few months. It is very peaceful. At the beginning of this year, the tribute envoys of the Song Dynasty sent 500,000 taels of silk and silver to the Song-Liao border as usual. This shows that the war situation has clearly turned in favor of the Liao Kingdom."

"Just imagine, if the Liao army was in a difficult situation, would they still obediently pay hundreds of thousands of tributes according to the Song Dynasty's usual style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Murong Fu deeply agreed with this.

"Brother, in my humble opinion, the world will soon be in chaos. The Song and Liao are now old men, waiting for someone to give them a push and they will be doomed. I know you have good relations with the royal families of Xixia and Dali. But firstly, the national strength of these two countries is too weak to accomplish great things, and secondly, borrowing the power of others will inevitably make you dependent on others. Master, you need to make plans early."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I have asked several generals to train a group of elite soldiers under the name of militia commanders. If there is any change, they can be used at any time."

Su Xinghe shook his head and said, "Too few. With Feng and Bao's less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention they are in the inland, it's not appropriate. I think it's better for you, Junior Brother, to take the trouble to handle this matter yourself."

"If Junior Brother can get the post of military commander of Qinfeng Road, with Xixia's support, he will have great potential."

"The commander of the army is a general, how can a commoner like me easily get it?"

"Last month, Mu Hua went to Kaifeng to see a patient. Junior brother, can you guess who this patient is?"

Murong Fu thought for a moment and asked, "Empress Dowager Gao?"

"That's right! According to Mu Hua, Empress Dowager Gao is old and sick, and she will die in half a year at most. Emperor Yuanyou has been trembling in the shadow of his grandmother for eight years, and he will definitely launch a major purge in the court when the time comes. Junior brother, don't miss this opportunity."
