From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 738

An Fuman's face completely darkened, and he felt angry and helpless.

He took a deep breath, sat down slowly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Zhou Yuan's trick is really vicious!"

"It seems that he knows very well that I will not be fooled by him, so he did not attack me at all, but sent an imperial edict to me to attack the other two envoys."

At this point, he gritted his teeth and said, "The other two pigs are really stupid to the extreme. Zhou Yuan's trick made them lose their composure."

Mr. Guo said, "Don't worry, sir. The situation may not be as bad as you think."

An Fuman nodded. Nodding, he said, "I don't think things have gotten completely bad. After all, we have been preparing for so long, and we are about to accomplish something big. It is impossible for us to turn against each other just because of suspicion."

"Zhou Yuan may think that his strategy is excellent, but he has not thought that we have paid such a high price to get to where we are today, and we can't change our minds with just a few words."

"I believe that the two envoys, Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng, will not really think so even if they suspect that I will surrender to the court, let alone turn against each other temporarily."

Mr. Guo smiled and said, "My lord, It is true. Zhou Yuan only has 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and is facing an unprecedented crisis. He has too few cards in his hand, so he can only use this despicable means to make a desperate struggle. "

"But no matter how he struggles, he has no way in the face of the iron-like gap between the enemy and us."

"I guess, when we attack the city, he will be the first to escape."

"By then, Chengdu Prefecture will no longer have a barrier, and we can march north and take Sichuan in one fell swoop."

"As long as Sichuan is taken, the entire southwest will be stable. Now the court has no army to take it back. We have fought so many battles, and the treasury is going to be empty. We have at least a few years to recruit soldiers and rest well. "

"By then, even if Zhou Yuan comes again, we will not be afraid."

Here, he bowed deeply and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, you can establish yourself as the emperor, sit in the southwest, establish a country and shock the world."

Hearing this, An Fuman couldn't help but get excited, and couldn't help saying: "If there really is that day, you will be the backbone of the country and the prime minister of the court."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

...

Adu Tusi and Wumeng Tusi have been neighbors for many years and have close contacts. The two Xuanwei envoys have lived on this land since childhood. They are both Yi people, and they can be said to be of the same clan, so they have a very good relationship and work together.

At this moment, they are in the big tent, eating, drinking, and talking.

Waza, the envoy of Adu, chewed beef and said in a deep voice: "The words of the two women in the afternoon are not credible. The court will not be so generous."

"Give us autonomy, give us 100,000 shi of grain as subsidies every year, and allow us to expand our army to 50,000. To be honest, I don't believe it."

Yue Yi, the envoy of Wumeng, laughed and said: "It's just a delaying tactic. The Duke of Wei has no soldiers at hand now. He can't even deal with those tenants. He is in a headache. It's ridiculous to want to use this method to obstruct us. . "

"But... that imperial edict..."

Waza interrupted immediately: "It must be fake, creating a false impression that An Fuman wants to surrender to the court, deceiving us, and wanting us to defect."

"Zhou Yuan can think of such a method, isn't he treating us two brothers as fools!"

Yue Yi took a sip of wine and nodded: "But we must be on guard against others. After all, Mongolia and the Eastern Tartars have both lost, and it is not impossible for An Fuman to surrender to the court, but this kind of thing is not easy to happen."

"We The two of you should try to avoid contact with An Fuman alone. If you want to discuss something, let him come by himself. "

"Otherwise, if he gets excited and really believes Zhou Yuan's stupid words, then five hundred swordsmen will jump out and surround us. That would be embarrassing."

Waza couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother, don't worry. We are not young people who have just started out. We can't make such mistakes."

"In addition, we have to think about the siege carefully."

"An Fuman thinks that if we all go together, the advantage of numbers will directly win. Let's talk about Fushun later. But we want to fight for Fushun. We can fight or not. Anyway, we have robbed so much money and food, which is enough for us to spend for many years. "

"We are not in a hurry. What is in a hurry is An Fuman. So in my opinion, his soldiers must be in the front."

Yue Yi frowned, put down the wine glass and thought for a moment, then said: "Brother is right. We are not sure whether An Fuman has surrendered to the court, but just in case, we still have to let his soldiers go in the front. "

"If we are in the front"Head, if he really surrenders to the court and cooperates with the soldiers of Fushunzhou to attack us from the front and back, then we will have no way to go to heaven or to the earth."

"To be honest, the court must know that Sichuan is unlikely to be able to be defended, and it may not be a heroic move. It may simply give Guizhou to An Fuman and let An Fuman help the court to defend Sichuan and destroy us... This possibility is also possible."

Waza's face changed, and he immediately said: "Then let's talk to An Fuman quickly. He must agree, otherwise we won't fight."

Yue Yi smiled and said: "What do you mean we should find him? He should find us."

The two smiled at each other and sent someone to invite An Fuman.

When the news reached An Fuman, An Fuman frowned: "I go there? Ask me to go to their military camp?"

Mr. Guo said in a deep voice: "The people sent by the other side said that they wanted to discuss the siege the day after tomorrow morning, and they wanted our soldiers to rush to the front. ”

An Fuman was immediately furious, glaring and saying: "These two pigs! How dare they do that!"

"The people from the inner court just saw them, and they asked me to go to their military camp not long after they left. What are they doing? Are they going to kill me!"

"And let my soldiers rush to the front? Great! They can cooperate with the soldiers of Fushunzhou to attack me from the front and back, right!"

"You are playing me like a monkey!"

Mr. Guo hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir!"

"To be honest, the current situation is likely to be like this. The other party began to suspect us and began to think that we were going to attack them, so they were afraid and dared not come over, nor did they dare to let their soldiers rush to the front."

"If we think so, then Zhou Yuan's plan will be achieved, and Fushunzhou will be safe."

"Sir, this is a serious matter. We have finally come to this day. Don't ruin the big thing because of suspicion! ”

An Fuman took a deep breath, and drank several sips of herbal tea in his cup, and then he calmed down a lot.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Guo's analysis is right. I was impulsive. I don't think they have cooperated with the court. I just think these two people are too stupid. They actually believed and doubted the court's obvious plan to alienate them."

"It's too tiring to work with such people."

Mr. Guo smiled softly and said, "Your Excellency is a man who wants to do great things. Why should you care about the temporary stupidity of those two pigs? Wait until Sichuan is taken down, and then you can deal with them properly."

"By then, Your Excellency will be the emperor of the southwest, and those two people will probably have fallen into the underworld."

"There is hatred and resentment, but there is a long way to go."

An Fuman felt relieved, so he nodded and smiled, "Fortunately, I have you, Mr. Guo. If you hadn't given me advice and helped me all these years, I might not have the luck I have today. "

Mr. Guo said hurriedly: "Your Excellency is too kind. I am just doing what I should do."

"In addition, we have to be more careful about the siege the next day."

"It is mainly because the two envoys of Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng are really too stupid."

"I am really afraid that they are stupid enough to believe in the court and really turn against us. Then it will be very difficult for us to deal with it."

"We are almost dead if we are attacked from both sides!"

An Fuman was shocked and nodded immediately: "You are right. No matter what, we must prevent the other party from making mistakes."

"If we leave our backs to Tusi Adu and Tusi Wumeng, we will have no countermeasures if something goes wrong."

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "No! Don't forget that there are still a group of people!"

Mr. Guo smiled and said: "Your Excellency is wise. They are the tenant farmers. ”

“Let those tens of thousands of lowly tenants rush to the front to die, what are we worried about? Anyway, those tenants have always listened to the words of Adu Tusi and Wumeng Tusi. Let the two envoys give the order to rush, and we will clean up the mess. Isn’t it wonderful?”

“By then, there will be no problem of order. What’s the harm if we are ahead of them? After all, by then, all misunderstandings will be resolved.”

An Fuman couldn’t help laughing and said, “I have you, just like a fish in water!”
