When the former Qin sent troops, all the uneasy factors gradually became active on the surface, but of course all of this was invisible to Fu Jian who chose to conquer by himself.

Among the 90 troops marching south, there were two secretly separated troops. One was led by the former general of Yan, Murong Chui, who defected to Fu Jian, and the other was led by Yao Chang.Although most of the Qin generals were full of doubts about them, Fu Jian still insisted on his trust in them as before.

In September, Fu Rong, the general who conquered the south, led the 25 vanguard troops of the Qin Army to Yingkou. Fu Rong tightened the reins, stopped by the Huaihe River, and ordered everyone to set up camp here.

September is the flood season of the Huaihe River, and the river is turbulent and turbulent. On the opposite side of the Huaihe River is the land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that Fu Jian has always wanted to rule.

Seeing that everyone stopped and started to get busy, Fu Rong also got off his horse, just as the messenger from the rear sent him the marching position of Fu Jian's troops.

Fu Rong responded with a heavy heart, sent him down, and then recruited the lieutenant beside him to discuss softly: "Although the army has already reached Yingkou, and it seems that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be across the Huaihe River, I still feel sorry for this time. Zheng has a bad feeling."

The deputy general turned his head, looked at Murong Chui and the others not far away, and said in a low voice, "Although your majesty ordered you to be the general of the Southern Expedition, the Murong family is also in the vanguard, and it will definitely not be a good thing for us. , along the way, the Xianbei people and our Di people didn't have much conversation, they were completely self-contained, what hope is there for such an army?"

Fu Rong shook his head, and said: "Murong Chui has completely complied with His Majesty's wishes in this Southern Expedition. He and Yao Chang have always supported His Majesty's Southern Expedition. Your Majesty's trust in them now is only a matter of what we say. Nothing will change.”

"If only Prime Minister Wang was still here..." the deputy general sighed softly.

But Fu Rong patted the horse's back helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid that even if Wang Jinglue is still alive, His Majesty's determination to march south will not be shaken."

"Can't Your Majesty see our loyalty?!"

Fu Rong was a little angry when he heard this, and said: "Okay, don't criticize Your Majesty here. Although this battle is difficult, why can't we win? Go down and inspect the army."

After hearing this, the deputy general could only retreat dissatisfied.Of course, Fu Rong's heart was also full of uneasiness. He looked at the army not far away with uncertainty, and while he seemed to be combing the horse's back, he inadvertently turned towards the camp of the Xianbei people.

Although Murong Chui saw Fu Rong's intentional defense from a distance, he didn't point it out, and calmly directed his troops to pack up.

When the sky was getting dark and the army had settled down, Murongchui went to Fu Rong's camp to report the general situation of his troops as a routine.

Fu Rong looked at Murong Chui's unremarkable expression, and couldn't help asking: "General Murong supports His Majesty's Southern Expedition this time, is it because of His Majesty's plan?"

Murong Chui smiled naturally: "Chui knows the great general's concerns, but the general also knows that when he was in Yanzhong, he was persecuted by traitors, and he was able to save his life by joining His Majesty, and he was favored by His Majesty and entrusted with important tasks. Why not draw it for His Majesty?"

Although the doubts in Fu Rong's heart did not subside, he could only hesitate on the face: "Then I hope that General Murong can manage your Xianbei troops well, and Fu will not ask the general to fight for our Great Qin territory..."

Murong Chui heard Fu Rong's words, frowned and interrupted: "The general doesn't believe me?"

Instead, Fu Rong smiled and shook his head: "Fu Mou's heart is only for the Great Qin Dynasty."

Murong Chui looked at Fu Rong, and didn't explain any more, just bowed his head and saluted without saying a word.Fu Rong understood that his behavior at this moment should be to convince himself that he was offended by his suspicion, so he said no more, "It's getting late, the general has been working hard for several days, let's rest early."

"Resign, my subordinate." Murong Chui responded, turned around and left the tent.

Under the cover of the night, Murong Chui gradually withdrew his expression. He knew that few people except Fu Jian would believe what he said now, and he didn't expect to make Fu Rong believe in him with just a few simple words. But what has to be said is always said and what is to be done is always to be done, isn't it?

Compared with the mighty Qin army, an inconspicuous army is quietly gathering in a corner of the land of Qin.

And Murong Chong, dressed in white, stood at the front riding his horse, and next to him was Zhao Hua, who had changed his old Confucian attire.

Murong Chong glanced around the crowd, drew his sword from his waist and pointed towards the sky, the people next to him received the order and immediately blew the horn to go out...

Zhao Hua followed Murong Chong, and waited for half a day for the team to go up to join Murong Chong, saying: "My lord is not wearing armor, and walking in the front in white clothes is too conspicuous."

Murong Chong didn't look at him, but just replied indifferently: "Isn't it good to see?"

Zhao Hua still wanted to dissuade him: "Now Qin and Jin haven't started the war yet, it's already very eye-catching that we have led the team out, this..."

"Sir, do you know how many troops the Qin army has summoned to march south this time?" Murong Chong asked, interrupting him.

"About 90." Zhao Hua replied.

"Does the gentleman know where the 90 troops are dispatched? Who will dispatch them? Where will they gather?"

"This...Zhao doesn't know."

"At this time, being cautious is obvious. We only have [-] troops, which is not worth mentioning to the Qin State. If we pretend to be the backup of the Qin Army, when Fu Jian dispatched all the troops to the front, the entire Qin State's rear is still there. It's not that we are allowed to walk freely, sir, don't have to be so careful."

Zhao Hua could only nod in agreement when he heard the words, but in his heart he didn't argue because he knew he couldn't convince Murong Chong.Zhao Hua faintly felt that Murong Chong's stubbornness in some matters was somewhat similar to the stubbornness of the King of Qin who wanted to conquer Jin regardless of differences.

"I really don't know who these two influenced who..." Zhao Hua sighed in his heart.

The team walked out of the mountain road to a plain, and Murong Chong signaled everyone to stop and rest. They walked very slowly. After all, the opportunity had not yet appeared. All they had to do now was to wait quietly, and they were not in a hurry. Chang'an was not either. I have to go, after all, Fu Jian is not in Chang'an City right now...

When the tent was set up and Murong Chong was sitting in the middle, he could truly feel the excitement in his heart at the moment, his blood was boiling, every part of his body was clamoring "revenge, revenge..."

Take a few deep breaths to calm down your heart, and then you can take a good look at the letters in front of you, one of which is Qin Jun's marching route map.Murong Chong looked at this picture for a long time, and finally smiled with certainty...
