Chapter 75 Zhuge Liang Fragment Plus

Here in the palace, the two princes expressed completely conflicting opinions.

At this time, all the ministers were silent. These cunning men were unwilling to interfere in the fight between King Liang and King Wu.

No matter which prince they agree with, in the eyes of Saint Murong Ying it may mean a clear choice of sides.

While Murong Ying is still in good health and in the prime of his life, it would be unwise to take sides with any of the princes.

Even in-laws have to be cautious.

But Murong Ying made a decision quickly and asked the eunuch Feng Jin to select a favorable eunuch and the Palace Attendant Duan Wuda to catch up with the vanguard army that was fleeing north.

He ordered the army to slow down for the time being, and the imperial consort Li Yuanhui, the eunuch envoy and Duan Wuda went to Taiyuan with the imperial seal to summon Prince of Guangling Murong Xu to Hedong County to meet the emperor.

At the same time, the imperial concubine Li Yuanhui was allowed to act at his discretion.

This clause was added at the insistence of the King of Wu.

"I really tried my best, Jialuo. Father doesn't need it anymore. You know his temper. He won't change his decision."

Murong Yang stood in front of Murong Jiayin and said helplessly.

"Li Silang is in the front line, fighting for the country. Even if he is asked to charge into the enemy line, I have nothing to say. But Murong Xu's rebellion is now obvious, but Silang is asked to be the envoy to summon Murong Xu. Isn't this asking him to die?"

"My second brother suddenly attacked me today, and I was caught off guard. But you don't have to worry too much. Silang has a deep fortune and will definitely be able to overcome the danger."

Murong Jiayin's face was as cold as ice and his eyebrows were raised. Even Murong Yang, his brother, could not persuade him.

After much persuasion, Murong Jiayin finally gave up the idea of ​​going to Murong Ying to meet a resistance.

Murong Yang persuaded Murong Jiayin to go back, and then he returned to the carriage.

"Father, Sanniang and Li Silang are newlyweds after all, so they are a little resentful."

Murong Ying smiled and said, "I heard everything you said. If she didn't come to make trouble, she wouldn't be Jia Luo. Okay, you can go down too."

Duan Wuda and the eunuch envoy, with only ten elite cavalry guards, traveled day and night and caught up with Li Shenfu's vanguard army in Pingyang.

The eunuch who brought the imperial edict was called Feng Jingang. He was the godson of the eunuch Feng Jin and was quite popular in the palace. The rapid journey of hundreds of miles almost cost him his life.

"My dear Prince Consort, here is the imperial edict, here is the imperial seal, and here is the seal. If you have no objection, come with us on the journey."

Duan Wuda's face was a little ugly, and he even gloated. He knew that this mission was very dangerous. But he was still happy to see Li Yuanhui in trouble.

Li Yuanhui took the imperial edict and read it. After confirming that it was correct, he no longer felt any guilt for poaching from Murong's family.

Isn't this asking me to die?

The army will reach Taiyuan in three days. Why are you summoning Murong Xu to Hedong at this time?

Is he a fool?
Li Yuanhui asked, "How many people can I bring?"

"The saint means that if there are too many people, it may arouse Murong Xu's vigilance, so you can bring a hundred cavalrymen."

"Okay, let me go and explain the military affairs to the general."

"Please do as you please, Prince Consort."

Li Yuanhui took the imperial seal and returned to the army, immediately summoning Liu Xuanji and Guo Xiaoke.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanji immediately expressed his willingness to go with Li Yuanhui.

"Brother Liu, this trip to Taiyuan is not easy."

Li Yuanhui had originally wanted to hand over the military affairs to Liu Xuanji, but when he saw that he wanted to go with him, he immediately persuaded him.

"Silang, even though we have known each other for less than a year, we are close friends. I, Old Liu, will definitely accompany you on this trip."

"Okay, in that case I won't refuse. With Brother Liu here, there's no place I can't go."

Unexpectedly, Guo Xiaoke also wanted to go with Li Yuanhui.

"Although this journey is dangerous, the general is only willing to bring old friends to perform meritorious deeds? Although I am not talented, I am willing to go to Taiyuan with the general."

Therefore, Li Yuanhui ordered Liu Tong to take charge of military affairs temporarily, and asked Guo Xiaoke and Liu Xuanji to each select fifty brave men from their subordinates.

Including Guo Xiaoke and Liu Xuanji, plus Li Yuanhui and his personal guard Han Quan, there were a total of 104 people.

Together with Duan Wuda, ten personal guards and three summoned eunuchs, a group of 118 people headed straight for Taiyuan.

Duan Wuda said: "I never thought that I would die with you."

Li Yuanhui, who was riding side by side, glanced at him and said, "Can you say something auspicious? What do you mean by going to die? If you want to die, go ahead and don't drag me down."

After saying this, he parked the horse by the roadside and waited for Liu Xuanji to come up before walking side by side with him.

"Brother Liu, this trip to Taiyuan is very dangerous, what do you think?" Liu Xuanji said, "Silang, does the saint still allow you to do what you want?"

Li Yuanhui nodded: "Two imperial edicts, one is to summon Murong Xu to Hedong, the other is to allow me to act at my own discretion, and there are also seals and seals."

Liu Xuanji whispered, "So if we have these things, can we legitimately command the troops in Taiyuan?"

Li Yuanhui said: "According to the laws of the court, this is the case."

"After arriving in Taiyuan, can you rush into the city and take over the city's major military affairs?"

"In theory, yes, but Murong Xu has been the governor of Bingzhou for several years, and he must have many confidants. If he wants to rebel, it will be useless for us to rely on the imperial edict and seal alone."

"Then catch the leader first."

Liu Xuanji said very calmly.

"this."

Li Yuanhui thought seriously about Liu Xuanji's suggestion of capturing the leader first, and it can only be said that it is not completely unfeasible.

But the specific operations still need to be carefully considered.

More than a hundred people went northward. Li Yuanhui kept thinking about how to survive.

The group arrived in Linfen before sunset and stayed overnight at the post station.

Li Yuanhui had just finished dinner and was about to go out for a walk when a guy as strong as a bear appeared at the door.

"Is there something wrong with Duan Sanqi?"

Duan Wuda nodded. "I have something to discuss with you."

"Then let's talk on the way?"

"it is good."

The two of them left the post station and the Fen River was not far away. When they reached the river, Duan Wuda spoke up, "I'll tell you the truth this time. It was the Second Prince, Prince Liang, who suggested that you go as an envoy to summon Murong Xu. Do you have any grudge against him?"

Li Yuanhui cursed in his heart when he heard this. It turned out that this bastard was the one behind this.

"What can I have against him? It's just that the fire in the city gate has affected the fish in the pond."

Duan Wuda nodded after hearing this: "It's about the same as I expected. I'm also unlucky. I don't know why the saint thought of me. King Wu and I have been friends since childhood, and you are the consort of His Royal Highness Jinyang. We are both considered King Wu's people. Why did he let two people of His Royal Highness Wu go to Taiyuan to summon them this time? Have you ever thought about it?"

"This"

Li Yuanhui was a little confused for a moment and was stumped by the other party's questions.

Yes, it was King Liang’s proposal. Why did he let the two men of His Royal Highness King Wu do this?
Li Yuanhui is easier to deal with as he is in the front army, while Duan Wuda is a minister of the imperial court and was sent directly from the central army.

"You mean, your majesty is dissatisfied with the King of Wu? Is he beginning to favor the King of Liang?"

Duan Wuda shook his head: "I can't guess the saint's mind, but I have thought of this. My father is a general, and you are the prince consort. Given our status, even if Murong Xu rebels, he may not kill us."

Li Yuanhui was speechless. How could this person's thoughts be so inconsistent? He might not kill her, but he might also kill her, right?
"I am listening to your words. It is like listening to your words. What do you want to say?"

Duan Wuda seemed to feel that what he said was irrelevant, but he did have an idea.

"I have a plan."

Li Yuanhui laughed directly, you still have a plan, what good ideas can you come up with with your brain? What happened today, Lao Liu started to make plans, and you Duan Wuda also has a plan, are you trying to piece together the fragments of Zhuge Liang?
Are they really just three incompetent generals better than Zhuge Liang?

However, given that the two are currently on the same page, they cannot attack each other too hard.

"Appreciate further details."

"We can do this. When we get to Jinyang, we can directly reveal our identities and ask Murong Xu to come out of the city to greet us. We can take the opportunity to capture him, show the imperial edict and the imperial seal, and then we can control Jinyang."

"What are you doing?"

Li Yuanhui was about to say something bad, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. He suddenly felt that this idea seemed feasible.

But only that much.

I bet Murong Xu is not on guard against the two youngsters.

Duan Wuda was a Xianbei noble, the son of a great general, and a palace attendant to the sage. As the emperor's son-in-law, he also became famous at a young age.

Both of them are teenagers, carrying the saint's edict and holding a talisman. It is reasonable for them to be a little arrogant, right?
It would be only natural to let Murong Xu go to the city gate to greet him, right?

Then suddenly attack at the city gate and capture Murong Xu, there is still a chance
But, there aren’t many.
