Murong Fu Dongfangqing

Wang Dai couldn't tell what Murong Fu was thinking, but he knew that if he hesitated at this moment, it would definitely end badly. At least under Murong Fu's command, he didn't think there was any possibility of him escaping.

With such a balance in his heart, Wang Dai said solemnly, "No matter how big or small, as long as you say a word, the little one will never back down."

"That's the best," Murong Fu nodded indifferently, "I heard that you are doing well now. You are sitting in the position of commander in front of the palace, and you are also in charge of the horse and infantry divisions. Ya, you can be regarded as No.1 since Song Ting founded the country."

The military system of the Song Dynasty is quite special. Since the founding of the country, there has been no precedent for the three officials of the imperial army to be the commander of one person. , Therefore, he took many measures to strengthen the centralization of the army, control the military with literature, and so on.

Let’s not talk about using literature to control military forces. Zhao Kuangyin and every subsequent generation of emperors like to gather the world’s elite troops and break into the Forbidden Army. The three yamen, the supreme commander of the three yamen also have no right to mobilize troops and horses, they must pass the imperial decree of the emperor or the tiger charm of the Privy Council to mobilize troops.

In order to prevent the last possibility of mutiny, the supreme commander of the Sanya has never been appointed by one person. Wang Dai is able to command the Sanya, which is the No. 1 in the founding of the country. Of course, time has passed. The sun was setting, and the Forbidden Army was no longer the most elite in the world, and the gold content of commanding the Sanya had already been greatly reduced.

Wang Dai hurriedly said, "Don't dare to lie to my son. In name, I command the three yamen of the forbidden army. In fact, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized. It is only [-]% of the total number of troops. Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, I am afraid it is only [-]%."

Murong Fu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his face showed disbelief. He knew that Wang Dai's leadership of the three yamen had some water, but he didn't expect that there would be so much water. Naturally, the first thought in his mind was to suspect that Wang Dai was lying, and asked in a deep voice, "What does this mean?"

Wang Dai was stunned, and explained, "Young Master, I don't know, the Imperial Army is far inferior to the past, and its strength is not as good as that of the Xiang Army. Among the [-] percent, there is still a small part of the command that does not move."

Murong Fu suppressed the suspicious look on his face, "Tell me specifically."

"It's like this," Wang Dai said, "Since General Yue died, General Han Shizhong was dismissed, and old General Zhang Jun had no intention of joining the Privy Council. Once the three Zhu Kingdom generals fell, the Jingxi Army, The Huaixi Army and the Huaidong Army, except for the Huaidong Army defending the capital, the other two armies were scattered and filled into the local army and the imperial army."

"In order to appease General Yue and General Han's old troops, the emperor still let them serve in various armies, and there are many in the imperial army, so the factions of the imperial army are extremely complicated now. Don't look at me as the commander of the front of the palace. The Horse Army Division and the Infantry Division, in fact, can't command them at all, otherwise the emperor would not let me, an unknown person with no background and foundation, be the supreme commander."

When it came to the end, Wang Dai showed a wry smile on his face. In fact, it was the same. He, the commander in front of the palace, was just a product to balance the forces of all parties. In fact, he didn't have much military power. After thinking about it, he added, "And Now the most influential general in the army, Old General Zhang, is still serving in the Privy Council, as long as he says a word, no one else can mobilize the army."

Hearing this, Murong Fu suddenly understood, he still thought too simply, every generation of emperors in Zhao and Song always kept in mind the lessons of their ancestors, how could it be possible to easily entrust all the military power to one person, even now when the building is about to collapse , They will not let their subordinates take advantage of it.

"Then, how many soldiers and horses can you mobilize now?" Murong Fu pondered for a while before asking this question.

"Counting my old department in the Dragon Guard, there should be thirty thousand people." Wang Daixi calculated, and said with a little hesitation, as if he was afraid that Murong Fu would insist on going his own way and really wanted to do something "big thing", so he again Added a sentence, "Now the entire capital is guarded by a total of 20 soldiers and horses from the Forbidden Army and the Huaidong Army. There is nothing that can be done with only [-] soldiers and horses."

Murong Fu's face darkened suddenly, "So, the military order you issued back then has not been fulfilled?"

While speaking, his whole body was full of vigor, and a great pressure pressed towards Wang Dai.

Wang Daideng felt suffocated, his legs trembled, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he begged for mercy, "I beg you to give me one more chance. The time has not come yet. I just wait for the time to come. I will wait for the time to come." You can control half of the country's soldiers and horses in a short time."

Murong Fu's momentum subsided, and the sky cleared in an instant, as if nothing had happened, "What timing are you talking about?"

Wang Dai took a deep breath, and now he was a little thankful that his previous judgment was correct. Under Murong Fu, he had no chance of escaping at all, so he immediately explained, "Actually, the emperor is extremely worried about the old troops of the two generals Yue and Han. , but have been struggling with no excuses to deal with them, now there is just a chance to get rid of the commander of the Huaidong Army, Wang De, and take [-] soldiers and horses of the Huaidong Army into his pocket."

"What kind of opportunity, let's talk about it." Murong Fu looked at him with interest, and he also wanted to know how deep the city was for this big-looking Wang Dai.

"Yes, this matter has to start with the flooding of the Wei River."

Murong Fu was taken aback, "The Wei River is flooded?"

Wang Dai's voice paused, "Master, do you know about the flood in the Wei River?"

"Okay, hurry up and tell me what's going on, don't keep it up." Murong Fu urged impatiently. He remembered that Zhao Jinling used "the flood in the Wei River" to blackmail Prince Yuan Yi to release him. At that time, he was worried about Mu Jianping's safety. , and didn't listen carefully, now that Wang Dai mentioned it again, he couldn't help being a little curious, what is it that can connect Prince Yuan Yi and Wang De, who are inseparable.

Wang Dai didn't dare to make any more mistakes, and immediately told all the things like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

It turned out that a few months ago, there was a flood in the Weihe River. Prince Yuan Yi, who was in charge of the country at the time, was ordered to take care of it. Let him learn a lot and understand the hardships of people's livelihood.

However, Prince Yuan Yi refused to accept it and insisted on taking command in person. He also imprisoned the local officials who were good at water control. In the end, the flood was not cured. Instead, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were buried in the flood because he fled. , It is bound to cause a storm, and even the emperor may not be able to keep him.

Fortunately, he was not stupid enough, he fled back to the capital as quickly as possible, told the matter to the ministers behind him, and several high-ranking ministers joined forces to suppress the matter, and all those who knew were wiped out mouth, so that the emperor still does not know the real reason for the failure of the Weihe River flood control.

"Recently, Wang De, the commander-in-chief of the Huaidong Army, has been very close to Prince Yuan Yi. As long as this matter is exposed, Prince Yuan Yi will not say anything. The old emperor will definitely take the opportunity to get rid of Wang De. You can’t be without a commander for a day, the emperor will definitely let me take command temporarily, unlike the complex system of the Forbidden Army, once the Huaidong Army falls into my hands, I will definitely be able to subdue it.”

When it came to the end, Wang Dai seemed afraid that Murong Fu would not believe him, so he made another promise.

Murong Fu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said something that surprised him, "This matter cannot be exposed, on the contrary, I want you to secretly send someone close to Prince Yuan Yi in the next few days to show him goodwill."

"What!" Wang Dai thought he heard it wrong, and blurted out, "How can this be, that pusty prince is not the material to be an emperor at all, and he might be deposed at any time, isn't it too early to take refuge in him now? , if the emperor finds out, he will definitely get rid of me first."

Seeing his reaction so intensely, Murong Fu couldn't help being a little amused, "Why are you so anxious, I haven't finished yet."

Wang Dai also realized that he had lost his composure, so he made a complaint, "I have lost my composure, my lord, please tell me."

Murong Fu's eyes flickered slightly, "If there is turmoil in the imperial city, how will your soldiers and horses defending the capital react?"

Wang Dai pondered for a while, "It depends on the turmoil. If it is a foreign enemy invasion, our army defending the capital will naturally guard the imperial city. If there is an internal turmoil, it is best to do nothing and wait for orders." The emperor's decree or the talisman of the Privy Council's troop deployment."

"What if the crown prince usurps the throne?" Murong Fu asked with a smile.

Wang Dai was shocked when he heard this, "How is this possible!"

"Don't worry about the possibility, according to normal logic, how should the Forbidden Army deal with it?"

Wang Dai glanced at Murong Fu with some trepidation, could this be hooking up with the prince?This thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "According to normal logic, the forbidden army should stand by, but the soldiers who are close to the crown prince don't know it, and they are likely to enter the city and control the imperial city immediately. "

"Okay!" Murong Fu clapped his hands and smiled, "What I want you to do is to be the first person to control the imperial city."

"But...but..." Wang Dai stared at Murong Fu dumbfounded, but didn't say anything.

"That's why I want you to send someone close to the crown prince in the next few days and make a secret show of favor. Then you will be ahead of Wang De and the other troops and control the imperial city." Murong Fu smiled lightly, but what he said made people Creepy.

Wang Dai held back for a long time before he asked, "How does the young master know that the crown prince will definitely usurp the throne? With his current status, as long as he waits a few more years, the throne will still belong to him, and there is no risk at all."

"Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention a prince with a heavy army in his hands. Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, there are not one or two princes who can't wait to take the throne. It's nothing unusual." Murong Fu smiled mysteriously. , did not mean to explain, "In short, you are ready and wait for my order."

Wang Dai vaguely felt that Murong Fu had some big plan, but he couldn't figure it out. The only thing he could think of was that Murong Fu had colluded with the prince, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.
