The news of the Jiangnan riots made him ecstatic and excited, and he came up with various strategies in his mind, but when it came to the actual situation, he didn't know how to start.

Not to mention that because of Qiao Feng and his son, he lost a large number of his loyal servants, and even half of his four most capable retainers were killed. Although the remaining two survived, their injuries have not healed yet. This not only actually damaged the foundation of the Murong family, but also seriously affected Murong Fu's efficiency in implementing certain decisions.

Even when it came to selling his property to buy supplies, he didn't have a single person he could trust completely. Even the trivial matters made Murong Fu quite overwhelmed.

The key point is that he had just taken over most of the Murong family's assets, and he had not sorted out all the complicated matters. The original plan to start an uprising was for several years to come. Now, in such a hurry, he had to do it so much earlier, which inevitably led to chaos. All these things seriously delayed Murong Fu's pace of starting an uprising.

Then when he had just started, the situation in the south had already been determined, and the north was about to be swept by the rebels. One can imagine how anxious, aggrieved, and uncomfortable Murong Fu felt now!

He knew very well that if he missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would probably never have it again in his lifetime.

But even if I am unwilling, what should I do now?

Murong Fu frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more confused and tangled his thoughts became.

bump!

"No! I can't look back any more!"

Now that the troops have been mobilized, if nothing is accomplished, wouldn't Murong Fu's so-called lifelong wish be just empty talk and a joke? Not to mention that if he can't even take the first step, how can he talk about restoring the Great Yan?

"Although the rebel army is sweeping across the country, the matter has not yet been settled. I am hesitant now, which is simply ridiculous. If the situation changes in the future and I am unable to intervene, I will regret not doing anything now!"

Murong Fu's belief was slightly strengthened, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Right now, the Liao, Jin, and Xixia kingdoms in the north are all showing signs of invading from the south, and the Song border troops are also in chaos and instability. By then, it's hard to say whether the rebels will be able to clean up the mess, and the northern region may become even more chaotic! Therefore, I should seize as much territory as possible as soon as possible while there is still time. This will allow me to be more calm in any future situation."

With troops and territory in hand, it is not impossible to move around, survive, profit, and gradually grow stronger among these forces.

certainly......

If everything is really impossible, then he doesn't mind joining a certain force first, preserving himself, lying in wait, and then waiting for the next opportunity.

call!

When Murong Fu thought of this, his eyes became completely determined.

He quickly selected a target and led his troops to attack. Or rather, it was already planned. By sending troops to infiltrate in advance and launching surprise attacks, attacking from both sides, and after losing two hundred soldiers, Murong Fu finally succeeded in seizing his first piece of territory.

Even though it's just a small town.

But it also means a lot to Murong Fu and the Murong family.

There was joy and elation, but it was also accompanied by embarrassment.

"I lost two hundred soldiers just to capture a small town like this, many of whom were dedicated warriors trained by the Murong family over the years. Most of the remaining soldiers were also injured. I wonder how many of them can survive..."

What was even more unacceptable to him was that he had already done things to the extreme. Not only had the interior of this small town been explored in detail, but he had also arranged for his men to disguise themselves and infiltrate it beforehand, and then suddenly raided the guards and seized the city gate. In addition, he had two thousand soldiers to charge in. The entire small town might not even have enough two hundred soldiers, and most of them were old, weak, and sick. Yet, he still suffered such a huge loss.

Murong Fu was deeply worried and embarrassed about this.

But he had to cheer up, reward his soldiers, and recruit more troops as soon as possible. The key point was that this city could not be taken by force and he would not be able to sleep well if he did not handle all the things well.

For three consecutive days, Murong Fu was exhausted both physically and mentally by so many trivial matters.

But fortunately, it was managed to hold on.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning." Murong Fu could only comfort himself in this way, hoping that things would go more smoothly afterwards.

In fact, if it were in the past, he might not be disappointed, and would more likely be ecstatic. But now, with the rebel army's brilliant achievements leading the way, and having seen so many such battle reports and deeds, Murong Fu was shocked and moved, but he couldn't help but be influenced. He thought the rebellion was a bit too simple. The rebel army's easy capture of cities and territories, and the low casualty ratio, did not mean that he could do the same. The gap in the elite level of the troops was extremely large.

On the other hand, time is running out and he simply doesn't have much time to develop slowly. Just a small city has consumed so much of his time and energy and lost so many troops. How can it be easy to develop before the rebels stabilize the situation?

Therefore, Murong Fu became even more jealous and envious of the strength of the rebel army!

"Oh, if only father could raise an army of rebels..."

Murong Fu still had illusions about this.

Although he was extremely anxious about not being able to contact Murong Bo, he didn't really think that Murong Bo would be in any danger. With martial arts skills as high as his father's, as long as he was not surrounded by a large army and was cautious, who could kill him?

Given my father's shrewdness, would he end up being surrounded by a large army?

It's impossible!

Therefore, based on this cognition and idea, Murong Fu still has some expectations about Murong Bo's whereabouts.

There's speculation about whether his father joined the rebels under an assumed name, secretly hoping to seize some of the military power. Or perhaps he's directly in a core position within the rebels, but the situation makes it difficult to contact them?

As for whether he would fall into danger or even die inexplicably, Murong Fu had never thought about this possibility.

joke!

What a great talent and strategy his father possessed! What unparalleled martial arts skills!

How could he die?!

There is absolutely no possibility of this!

Chapter 509: All Nations Are Shocked! Dali Sends Envoys!

Not to mention how hard Murong Fu tried to build a great business, and how he kept looking forward to Murong Bo.

There are actually quite a few ambitious people like him in Hedong, Hebei, Jingdong and other places, and many cities have been captured one after another.

The impact of the imperial court's declining prestige and the imminent establishment of a new dynasty by the rebels is becoming increasingly apparent and expanding!

This was the case within the Song Dynasty, and other countries also learned the information one after another.

It would be better to say that the rebels had no intention of concealing anything at all, but directly announced it to the world!

The top leaders of various countries have already been shocked by this!

Dali, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Baoding Duan Zhengming reviewed all the details about the rebel army and couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that the situation would be like this. How should Dali respond... cough! cough cough cough!"

If he got a little excited, it would affect the injuries in his body and he would cough and wheeze uncontrollably.

During this period of time, his illness had not yet healed, and the counterattack of a martial arts master like Duan Yanqing before his death had caused him considerable damage, and he had been hit in the vital parts. It was impossible for him to recover completely. 293 In addition, there had been a lot of political affairs recently, and he had to work hard whenever he saw the slightest improvement, which inevitably delayed his recovery. But he had to do this.

Because the political situation was unstable, with internal and external troubles.

When Emperor Baoding thought of this, he felt deeply worried and uneasy.

In the past few months, bad things have happened one after another. The Tibetan national teacher Jiumozhi's pressure on Tianlong Temple has already caused the two neighboring countries to become enemies. The subsequent incident of Prince Yanqing has caused turmoil within the court.

Although he did not succeed in the end, the impact was too bad.

All the monks in Tianlong Temple were injured and their strength was greatly reduced. Yu'er, the future heir, was injured even more seriously and has been unable to get out of bed until now.

and......

There was still much to ponder in this matter. He felt the Princess of Zhennan was hiding a number of secrets. Why could her words influence the Crown Prince of Yanqing? What was the deeper meaning behind those few words? He secretly felt that something was amiss, but it was simply not convenient to stir up trouble right now... These were all things to take into consideration; they were not the main concern at the moment.

What worried him most was actually what was happening in the Song Dynasty.

The rise of the rebel army is simply shocking!

In just four months, it had swept across the entire Song Dynasty from north to south, and it seemed that a new dynasty was about to be established.

Who could have imagined that this situation would happen?

How should Dali deal with such an emerging national force?

Under normal circumstances, Duan Zhengming wouldn't have worried too much. The Song Dynasty changed dynasties, and Dali would simply continue paying tribute and submitting to the emperor. However, the sight of the barefoot, eagle-like, and cloud-patterned groups in the Dali area truly irritated him, leaving him feeling like a thorn in his side, a thorn in his back. ...

This is not just a simple unstable factor, it is like a powder keg spread all over the place, which may blow Dali to pieces at any time and directly destroy the country.

Just look at the lessons of the Song Dynasty and you will know.

As the ruler of Dali, Duan Zhengming is eager to expel this group.

Without him!

With them around, it's as terrifying as having a sword hanging over your head!

Although there is no unrest at the moment, who knows when it will suddenly strike down?!

As a qualified leader of a country, Duan Zhengming is well aware of the enormity of the threat, but what can he do knowing the risks?

He doesn't dare to move at all now.

One reason is that after experiencing a series of previous events, the Dali government was in turmoil, and he was now in poor health. He did not dare to act rashly. Once a major chaos was caused, he did not know whether he could handle it well, nor did he know whether he had the energy to deal with it. The crown prince Duan Zhengchun needed to stay in the border to guard against the rebel forces in Zizhou Road, Chengdu Prefecture Road, and Guangnan West Road. At the same time, he had to be vigilant against the movements of Tubo at all times. The external threat was too great, and the internal situation was unstable. It was impossible to recall him to succeed the throne rashly under this situation.

This person was being held up and dared not move at all!

Another thing is that the power and brilliant achievements displayed by the rebel army really shocked and frightened Emperor Baoding.

Before such a force swept across the entire south, he had been cautious and did not dare to act rashly for fear of causing a war. Now the rebel army seemed to be on the verge of establishing a dynasty, and the vastness of their territory was several times more than that of Dali!

Facing such a force, everything must be done with extreme caution. Even though we know that those barefoot, vulture, and cloud pattern groups are extremely threatening, we cannot take any action.

Moreover, if the conflict breaks out and war breaks out, it will be a question whether the Dali army can withstand the suppression of the rebels.

The Song Dynasty was defeated, so how could Dali be safe?

How can it be!

Emperor Baoding asked his ministers for advice more than once, but he could not find a proper solution.

Duan Zhengming pondered over the secret letter for a long time, looking exhausted. He summoned the civil and military officials again and made a decision.

He sent envoys from Dali to Nanjing to observe the ceremony, to establish friendly relations with the new dynasty, to pay tribute and pledge allegiance, and to request enthronement.

One is the hope to establish friendly relations at the national level to avoid possible war.

Secondly, it would be best to ask the new dynasty to recall the barefoot, griffin, and cloud pattern groups.

Thus, after several days of preparation, the Dali envoys brought with them memorials, tribute maps, and various tribute items such as jade, ivory, amber, musk...

Set off for the territory ruled by the rebel army, destination, Jinling!

Other countries generally took action with Dali and formally sent envoys to establish friendly relations.

Not all of them were as submissive as the Dali Kingdom, which paid tribute and pledged allegiance right from the start, but they did bring tribute with them.

Basically, there are two purposes: one is to watch the ceremony, and the other is to explore and test.

The rebels rose too fast, and many forces did not know much about their internal situation, let alone the core figures. Even though spies brought back a lot of information, it was not detailed and comprehensive enough. This time, we can take the opportunity to investigate a little bit, and secondly, test the rebels' next military plan.

Chapter 510: Zhao Min: This righteous army is not only invincible in battle, but also has extraordinary wisdom in governance!

As time went by, the day of the coronation ceremony drew closer, and the atmosphere in Jinling City and the surrounding areas became more and more heated. Envoys from various forces arrived one after another, and people from all walks of life who came to watch the ceremony came in an endless stream.

Correspondingly, the elite guards of the rebel army became more strict and patrolled everywhere to prevent any possible accidents from happening before and after the ceremony.

At this time, in the city.

A handsome, fair-skinned "young master" was fanning himself and looking around, curious about everything he saw and heard in the city. As he walked along, he sighed, "This righteous army is not only invincible, but their governance is also remarkable! It's a model for future generations!"

If she remembered correctly, Jinling City had only been captured by the rebel army about three months ago, but now it looked like a prosperous era!

And it's not just Jinling City that's like this. Most of the prefectures and cities under the rule of the rebel army are thriving. They can't be compared with this place, but they are more than ten times better than other places!

"Ugh!"

Zhao Min waved her fan. The more she looked, the more awed and terrifying she felt!

The Southern Dynasty had been replaced by a new power with a strong military and strict governance. I wonder what will happen next? Is it good or bad for the Mongols?

In the short term, it seems to be a good thing, because the rebel army affected the overall situation of the world and gave the Mongols a good opportunity to expand.

However, in the long run, it is unlikely to be a good thing.

With the rise of such a great power, it is very likely to become a strong rival of the Mongols in the future!

Zhao Min was silent for a moment and shook her head slightly.

To describe them as a strong rival is actually not quite accurate.

In her opinion, the various things demonstrated by the rebel army were far beyond the reach of the Mongols in many aspects. Even their most relied upon and powerful military strength did not dare to dominate in the face of such a force as the rebel army.

Zhao Min thought of this and sighed again.

During these few months, my impression of the rebel army changed again and again, and I couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity. So I decided to follow the Mongol Yuan delegation on a whim and go south to watch the ceremony in person, and by the way, see the scenery under the rule of the rebel army.
