Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 385 Conspiracy
Before Huguan, Murong Ke and a group of generals were inspecting the terrain.

This has been his habit for many years, and every big victory has a lot to do with his in-depth understanding of the terrain.

However, the terrain of Huguan today left him somewhat helpless.

Baigu Mountain stands in the north, and Shuanglong Mountain stands in the south. The two mountains are facing each other, with an empty space in the middle. The mountain is shaped like a pot, so it is named Huguan.

During the Great War between Yuan and Cao in the Three Kingdoms, a small number of high-ranking officials and a small number of troops were stationed at Huguan, isolated and helpless, and still persisted for three months.

It is certainly impossible for the Yan army to spend three months here.

Moreover, Zhang Ping is not without reinforcements. As long as he falls to Liang Guo, the Heiyun Army will enter Shangdang and fight against the Yan Army.

However, Zhang Ping had too many thoughts. When he sent an envoy to Liang Jun, he also sent an envoy to Murong Ke, "General Murong's army gathered at Huguan, but he didn't know that [-] Heiyun troops had already invaded Hedong!"

"So what?" Murong Ke always looked calm.

"Hedong... is rich in money and food, and has a large population. Once it falls into the hands of Liang Guo, I am afraid that the general will not be able to gain a foothold in Bingzhou."

Zhang Ping's envoy level is not high. Talking about military affairs in front of Murong Ke is undoubtedly a mistake.

Murong Ke said warmly: "I don't need to worry too much about this matter. Now that Yanliang is attacking Shangdang, Zhang Shijun is at the end of his road. You might as well surrender to me, Yan, and I will treat you like a marquis of ten thousand households."

"This……"

"You can report back to Commander Zhang. Our family has never treated those who surrendered unkindly. The current situation is either surrendering to Liang or surrendering to Yan. Let him think carefully!" Murong Ke waved his hand and showed no interest in continuing the conversation.

The messenger walked away.

Murong Ping hurriedly said: "There are salt ponds in the east of the river. Do we really want to give them away?"

"Of course not. The key to this battle lies in the east of the river. The fifteen thousand people in Duan Kong are just bait. I have ordered Daoming to lead his army south. Even if we don't want this party, we still have to encircle and annihilate these thirty thousand elite Black Clouds!" Murong Ke said in a deep voice.

The main force of the Liang Kingdom is actually these 11 black cloud elites.

With the loss of 3 people, the entire Liang Kingdom will be shaken.

Mu Yugen laughed loudly, "In the past, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to Sima Yi and the Battle of Lucheng killed 3 soldiers, which shocked Cao Wei. If these [-] people can be killed this time, the rise of the Liang Kingdom will be severely damaged!"

"Yes, this battle is not only for Zhang Ping to see, but also to shock the Fu family and revive our army's decline!" Murong Ke got on his horse, turned his horse's head, and prepared to return to camp.

All the generals and commanders around him were full of enthusiasm.

Murong Ping frowned, "Since this battle is so important, why doesn't General go there in person? Ah Liu Dun... has never defeated the Black Cloud Army..."

Murong Chui's star was originally shining, but in the battle last year, his 10,000+ troops were blocked by Wang Meng's [-] troops at Julu, unable to advance even an inch.

There was quite a lot of criticism in Yan State.

This battle was also a stain in Murong Chui's life.

Murong Ke looked up at the slowly floating white clouds in the sky and said calmly: "If our army moves, Li Yue will personally lead the main force of the black clouds to Hedong. Hedong is close to Yecheng and far from Jicheng. The two armies are fighting fiercely and are inseparable. Zhang Ping and Fu are waiting on the side, and there is Tuoba Shi Yijian behind them. If the stalemate persists, it will turn into an armpit. Since our army has captured most of Bingzhou, the top priority is to move the people back to Youzhou!"

If it were in Taiyuan or Shangdang, Murong Ke would not hesitate to fight the Heiyun Army.

But the battlefield was in the east of Hedong, so he had to be more cautious.

From a geographical point of view, even if the Yan army captured Hedong, it would be difficult to hold it.

Hedong is surrounded by wolves, and Jicheng is beyond reach.

Murong Ke's purpose was just to eat the main force of the [-] Black Cloud Army and give Liang Guo a slap in the face!
Hedong.

Lu Guang's [-] forward troops were unimpeded.

After Taiyuan was captured, the cities in Hedong were left without a master.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is difficult for Zhang Ping to survive this level.The two kingdoms of Yan and Liang came out with all their elites, and those who came were all famous people in the world.

The Yan State had Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Mu Yugen, while the Liang State had Li Yue, the king of Liang, come personally.

The smart people had already begun to take sides, some went to Murong Chui in the north, some went to Liang, and the cities in the eastern part of the river went to Fu.

The Fu clan stationed [-] troops in Puban, and they were controlled by Fu Fei, Fu Huangmei, Fu Jian, and Deng Qiang. They were also a force in Hedong that should not be underestimated.

As soon as Lu Guang entered Yuancheng, he received a mysterious messenger.

"Jian Tou?" Lu Guang recognized Fa Xiao at a glance.

Lu Guang and many of the Fu family's children grew up in Fangtou, especially the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man in front of him - Fu Jian, nicknamed Jiantou, the son of the former prime minister Fu Xiong and the current General Long Xiang of Di Qin.

Fu Hong also decided to change his surname from Pu to Fu because he saw the prophecy "Cao Fu will be the king" on Fu Jian's back.

Fu Jian also often encouraged Fu Jian by saying that Fu Hong was General Jie Zhao Longxiang.

"Haha, I thought you were so prosperous that you forgot about your old friend." Fu Jian was not polite at all. He took off his outer robe, sat directly on the soft mat, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"How could you forget your old friend?" Lu Guang waved his hand to reject the others, "Jiantou is here, something big must happen?"

As a general, meeting outsiders privately is a huge taboo in itself.

Among the five thousand forwards, in addition to the official Heiyun General, there were also seven hundred volunteers. With their presence, Lu Guang had to be taboo.

Fu Jian put down the tea cup and looked at him, "Your Excellency, are you from Liang now? Are you from Di?"

Lu Guang frowned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

On the one hand, it is the kindness of knowing and encountering, and on the other hand, it is the love of small things. It is really difficult to choose.

But thinking about the past, I still blurted out, "I was born in Fangtou, so of course I am a Di!"

"Great kindness! Your words are enough." Fu Jian casually took out a letter and said, "This is a letter home from Shizhong Lu."

After Fu Sheng succeeded to the throne, he granted Lu Polou the rank of Shizhong and General Zuo, which held great power for a while.

But Lu Guang seemed to know what was written in the letter and did not open it to read it.

Fu Jian raised his brows and said with a smile: "I came here for no other reason. One is to meet old friends, and the other is to send letters home. I have also met them and sent the letters, so I will say goodbye."

Some words left unsaid can shake people's hearts more than those spoken.

Fu Jian never mentioned the surrender, which made Lu Guang feel even more uncomfortable.

"The battle in Hedong is no small matter. Please take care of yourself." Lu Guang reluctantly said goodbye.

After all, he lived to be seventeen or eighteen years old, spent most of his time in Fangtou, grew up with the Fu family's children, and joined the Black Cloud Army less than two years ago, so he mentally identified with the Fu family more.

"Brother, please take care, you and I will see each other again!" Fu Jian smiled confidently. He was one year younger than Lu Guang, but his momentum had the upper hand.

The two said goodbye, and Lu Guang stared at the envelope on the desk for a long time, but never opened it.

He was afraid that once he opened it, his heart would change.

Although it has been less than two years since I joined Heiyun, I have become accustomed to this vigorous life.

And he could also feel that King Liang valued him very much.

Otherwise, he would not be allowed to lead an army as a vanguard at such a young age...
