The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 432 The Lion's Big Opening

Mu Xu didn't care about Wang Yin's worries, he was in a good mood recently, first of all, there were frequent reports of victories in the army, and several armies he sent out had successively captured Lanzhou, Xianzhou, and Xinzhou, and are currently attacking Daizhou.

As long as the entire territory of Daizhou is captured, Yanmen will be in hand.When Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty conquered Jurchen himself, it was the time when Mu Xu raised his troops to go north.

And that day is not far away.Now it is November of the fourth year of Zhenghe. If Mu Xu remembers correctly, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao's personal conquest took place in August of the fifth year of Zhenghe, less than a year apart.

According to historical records, Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi mobilized more than [-] troops in order to defeat Jurchen, and almost all the elites of the Liao Kingdom were dispatched.

Such a heaven-sent opportunity is in front of him, so Mu Xu naturally wants to seize it firmly. If he can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Youzhou, that would be great.

In addition to the successive victories on the battlefield, the arrival of Li Shishi and his daughters today is even more joyful for Mu Xu.

The only fly in the ointment is that this fellow Wang Yin appeared in front of Mu Xu from time to time, so he didn't even have the time to reminisce with Wu Song and others at the rice dumpling banquet. went.

In the next few days, in order to avoid Wang Yin, Mu Xu stayed in the mansion all day long on the grounds of being with his wives and did not go out for a moment.

Until the sixth day, Wang Yin saw that he had no choice but to ask Zhu Wu to see him. After exhausting his words, he finally persuaded Zhu Wu to agree to bring him to see Mu Xu.

When Wang Yin and Fang Baihua came to Mu Xu's mansion in Taiyuan under the leadership of Zhu Wu, they saw Mu Xu leading several wives, playing the game of throwing pots in the main hall.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Yin could still bear it, but Fang Baihua couldn't help it. Seeing Mu Xu, he didn't even want to bow, and said sarcastically,

"Brother Mu's family really loves his wives, no wonder he can win the hearts of so many beauties!"

As if he didn't hear it, Mu Xu casually threw the arrow into the pot, waved to Li Shishi and the others, and after they retreated, he invited the three of them to sit down and said,
"Reunited with the wives after a long absence, I was a little carried away for a while, and made a few laugh!"

Fang Baihua was so angry that her face turned red, and she wanted to say something more, but Wang Yin stopped her with his eyes, and immediately listened to him,

"The village master's true temperament, how dare I laugh at you?"

"Hehe, Mr. Wang really can talk!" Mu Xu praised, and then asked,

"It should be the first time for you two to come to the north. How do you feel about Taiyuan?"

Wang Yin replied, "It is indeed a well-known important town in the world throughout the ages. Compared with the cities in the south, it looks more majestic and solemn."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Since this is the case, those two can stay a little longer, and let me take you around as a landlord."

Wang Yin said with a bitter face, "Thank you for the kindness of the village master, I am sorry that I will not be blessed. After all, my family's leader is in danger, how can he be indifferent as a subordinate?"

Mu Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a puzzled expression, "Sir, what you said is so stupid. Who doesn't know that Brother Fang is in full swing and has already occupied half of the south of the Yangtze River. How can he be in danger?"

Wang Yin knew that Mu Xu was pretending to be stupid, but he could only follow his words and said,

"The owner of the village doesn't know that the Song Dynasty has already gathered [-] western troops, and they are going to send troops south in a few days. How can we easily resist?

Therefore, my family leader specially ordered me to come here, and ask the village leader to help me! "

After speaking, Wang Yin stood up and solemnly bowed down.

Mu Xu ordered Zhu Wu to help Wang Yin up, and then murmured, "Originally, according to the covenant between your two families, I shouldn't shirk this matter, but Fang's actions in the past are really disappointing, and one can't help but doubt his sincerity." .”

Fang Baihua became anxious, and argued forcefully, "Your words are clearly unreasonable. My elder brother raised the army according to the time agreement, and he did not betray the alliance in the slightest."

Mu Xu said disdainfully, "The sister of the Fang family doesn't seem to know the inside story, so I asked Mr. Wang to explain it to her."

Wang Yin hastily signaled Fang Baihua not to cause trouble, and then explained to Mu Xu, "It's not because my leader is unwilling to advance and retreat with the village leader and Wang Qing, it's because we were not prepared properly at the time, and if we act rashly, we will only get twice the result with half the effort .”

Mu Xu sneered, and responded, "Oh, so it's my fault, should I agree with Brother Fang's decision to postpone the army?
Mr. Wang, don't forget that when the three of us formed an alliance that day, there was another rule among them. If two of us agreed to raise an issue in advance, the third must also advance and retreat together. "

Wang Yin knew in his heart that if this matter was investigated deeply, it could indeed be regarded as Fang La's breach of contract first. This is an indisputable fact.

At this time, Wang Yin had no choice but to use his trump card. He glanced at Fang Baihua, and said in his puzzled eyes,
"When Xiao Ke came, the leader of my family explained something. In order to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two families and cooperate more sincerely in the future, the leader hopes that we can become good friends of Qin and Jin with the village leader."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Baihua blushed with shame, and couldn't stay still for a moment, without even saying hello, she left the place in a hurry and hid outside.

Fang Baihua was only concerned about being shy, but she didn't know that her move was a big miscalculation. If she stayed at the scene, Mu Xu would have to worry about her face, and some things would be hard to say.

But as soon as she left, Mu Xu no longer had any worries, and immediately said, "Why don't a man have a wife! Besides, as the saying goes, Brother Fang is too naive to pour water from a married daughter. Just based on this You want to win people's trust even with a mere marriage?"

Wang Yin sighed secretly, knowing that if he did not bleed today, he would not be able to invite reinforcements, so he immediately said,
"Whatever request does the village master have, you can say it outright, Xiao Ke is willing to agree on behalf of the leader of my family, so as to eliminate the previous misunderstanding between the two families."

Mu Xu raised his finger and said, "First, I want five hundred boatmen and five hundred thousand shi of grain as compensation. Second, you owe me a favor, and you must unconditionally cooperate with me to send troops once in the future."

Wang Yin thought for a moment, then replied, "The second item, I can agree on behalf of the leader of my family. But the food mentioned in the first item, forgive me for my incompetence. It is a time of war and we are also very short of food and grass. I am afraid that we will not be able to raise it for a while. This is a lot, please forgive me, the village master."

Mu Xu didn't believe Wang Yin's words at all. The Liangzhe Road was a land of fish and rice, how could he not be able to provide this little food, this guy just wanted to pay back the money.

Therefore, no matter what Wang Yin said, Mu Xu was unwilling to give in.The two sides argued for a long time, but it was Zhu Wu who stood up to smooth things over and said, "Why don't we each take a step back?"

Wang Yin hurriedly said, "Brother Zhu, please explain carefully!"

Zhu Wu had known Mu Xu's plan for a long time, so he pretended to be generous and said, "Master Fang, you and Master Fang are sworn brothers. When Miss Fang marries the master of the village again, they will be even more intimate. Look at the two layers In terms of relationship, it might as well ask for less compensation. In Xiaosheng's opinion, three hundred thousand shi is the best."

After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Yin who wanted to refute, "Brother Wang, no matter what, your family broke the appointment last time, and the sister of the leader above is going to marry my village leader, so there must be a dowry! We also don’t want gold and silver, how about using grain instead?”

Wang Yin is not stupid, how could he fail to see that this is Zhu Wu and Mu Xu playing the double reed.He wanted to refuse, but by looking at the expressions of the two, he knew that this was the bottom line of the family. It would be a long night and dreamy, so he finally nodded and said,
"Forget it, I agreed on behalf of the leader. I just don't know when the leader of Muzhai will send troops, and how will he solve the siege of my family?"

Hearing Wang Yin's compromise, Mu Xu was overjoyed, and secretly said, "The food and grass for sending troops to Yunzhou next year can be regarded as settled."

As for how to help Fang La out of the siege, Mu Xu already had a plan in mind. He clapped his hands, and then a soldier came in and put the map in front of the three of them.
