Chapter 203 When Brothers Fight (2)
Chapter 203 When Brothers Fight (2)
"Jin'er, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" After reading the letter, Murong Xu asked Lin Xijin for her opinion.
"Tell this to father. For the sake of power, Murong Chun sold out the country's future and interests, and regarded the lives of the people as worthless. We must have zero tolerance for such people, and we must not let the war burn, causing the people to be displaced and suffering!"
Lin Xijin was filled with indignation. She could not imagine that Murong Chun would disregard the interests of the country and take risks to reach this point.
"Father, it's not that I don't care about our brotherhood and want to deal with Fourth Brother. Xuer is really worried!" The two had no choice but to go to the Emperor with the letter and surveillance video.
Although the emperor was very curious about the surveillance video, his disappointment and anger towards the Jun family and Murong Chun prevailed.
"Xu'er, Jin'er, tell me how to deal with this matter." The emperor was also tired and depressed. His good sons were both like this.
"Father, we must not let the Nanyue Kingdom step into our Great Jin territory, so as to avoid the destruction of the people." Murong Xu said, "We can use the trick against them. Father, you stay in Beijing and General Wu Beichen to monitor the Jun Mansion and my fourth brother. Don't let them make any unusual moves, especially don't let him endanger your safety. Our Jin'er will go to the southern border and must find the ironclad evidence of Jun Xisheng's collusion with Nanyue and recruiting private soldiers."
The emperor was very relieved to hear that Murong Xu was concerned about his safety. So he said to the two of them, "You two can go without worrying about them. I am not worried about these two people."
In the end, the father and son recruited Wu Beichen, An Yi and An Er into the palace and made preparations for the defense of Kyoto. An Er stayed in Kyoto, while An Yi followed him to southern Xinjiang.
Murong Xu ordered a team of people to disguise themselves and take the intercepted letters to southern Xinjiang to find Jun Xisheng. An Yi led the secret guards and personal guards to set off in disguise, and he and Lin Xijin followed to southern Xinjiang.
The two of them wandered around Kyoto for half a month without rushing or getting impatient, which made the old emperor anxious. He asked several times, "Xu'er, aren't you going to leave yet? Are you in a hurry?"
"Father, it's okay. An Yi and the others have already gone. Jin'er and I will leave soon." Murong Xu said slowly.
Although the emperor was anxious and worried that the war would break out, causing unrest in the court and displacement of the people, he forced himself to calm down when he saw the two men were calm.
When they estimated that everyone had almost reached Southern Xinjiang, the two men took advantage of the night to go to the Xishan Hunting Ground, brought the big tiger and the wolves, and flew to Southern Xinjiang with the wind.
When Murong Xu and Lin Xijin arrived in Southern Xinjiang, the messenger and An Yi's men had not arrived yet. The two sneaked into Jun Xisheng's bedroom, reception room, and conference room, installed bugs, and then returned to the base set up by Murong Xu to rest.
"General, the general sent us to pay us a visit with letters and military pay." A clear voice came from the eavesdropping device. The team carrying the letter had arrived.
"Did you bring any messages from home?" Jun Xisheng asked.
"The general said that all instructions are in the letter. Please take a look."
"You stay and rest. I'll write a reply and give it to you to take back."
After a long time, Jun Xisheng spoke again: "Go, call the military advisor over."
"General, why did you call me here?" It was obviously the military advisor who was speaking.
"Please read this letter first."
The sound of shuffling papers came from the bug.
"General, according to what is written in the letter, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Murong Xu has been constantly clipping the Fourth Prince's wings, and it is obvious that he is on guard against him!" said the military advisor.
"Without money, we can't afford to support the soldiers we recruited by relying solely on secret transactions within the army. It seems that we can only take risks." Jun Xisheng's voice came, "Write a letter and contact the South Vietnamese general Nguyen Jingsong, saying that I want to meet with him to discuss something."
"Where shall we meet?"
"Let's meet in Pingcheng as usual. It's close to both sides' bases." It seems that the two sides meet frequently.
"Subordinates retire."
After getting the information they wanted, Murong Xu and Lin Xijin asked An Yi and others to go to Pingcheng to set up defenses, while they stayed behind to monitor Jun Xisheng's every move.
It was not until Jun Xisheng set out for Pingcheng that the two of them hid themselves on the head wolf and followed behind Jun Xisheng.
The leader wolf moved stealthily and swiftly, making no sound along the way, and no one noticed him.
That night, the two men did the same thing, installing eavesdropping devices in places where Jun Xisheng often appeared, and hiding themselves in the reception room.
Ruan Jingsong arrived the next morning. As soon as he entered the reception room, he sat on the chair with his arms and legs spread out and asked in a casual manner, "General Jun, what is the matter that you want me to come here for? Do you have more military rations to sell to me?"
"General Ruan was called here this time because there is something important to discuss. I would like to ask the general to cooperate in a play and help me get rid of someone." Jun Xisheng said.
"Oh? I just don't know who General Jun wants to get rid of? How do you want me to cooperate?" Ruan Jingsong was very interested.
"Get rid of my Great Jin's crown prince Murong Xu. You just need to pretend to attack, and I will pretend to be defeated and withdraw from Pingcheng and Dongcheng. Then I will write a letter to the court and ask Murong Xu to lead his troops to help, and we will work together to annihilate him."
"You are really cruel. But I like it! No cruelty means no hero, and those who want to achieve great things do not care about trivial matters! But what benefit can I get?" Ruan Jingsong asked.
"I'll give this city to you after the task is accomplished." Jun Xisheng was really generous and promised to give away a city so easily.
"No, no, no, Pingcheng is too small. I want two cities, Pingcheng and Dongcheng, otherwise no deal." Ruan Jingsong opened his mouth loudly.
Jun Xisheng hesitated for a while, but finally agreed: "Okay, let's sign the agreement. You send 300,000 troops, and I will give Pingcheng and Dongcheng to you after the deal is done."
Murong Xu and Lin Xijin were almost biting their teeth off. Their ancestors had fought hard and bloody battles to build this empire, but he just gave it up with a click of his lips, looking like a traitor.
Besides, he didn't think about it. It's easier to invite a god than to send him away. Would Ruan Jingsong be satisfied with only two cities? He would probably use them as a base to capture the territory of Dajin. Dajin would be in danger.
Jun Xisheng quickly asked the military advisor to draft an agreement, and the two men signed and sealed it, and the agreement was reached.
"It's a pleasure working with you!" The two shook hands and said goodbye.
"Don't move, put your hands up!" Two black pistols were pointed at the two men's foreheads. Although the two men didn't know what they were, they were still scared by the cold and hard touch.
"Someone come!" Jun Xisheng shouted with his last hope.
More than a dozen people came in from outside, holding bows and crossbows, but they were not aiming at Murong Xu and Lin Xijin, but at Jun Xisheng and Ruan Jingsong.
"Capture him!" Murong Xu ordered.
"Yes, master."
An Yi and others stepped forward quickly. Jun Xisheng and Ruan Jingsong tried to resist, but were knocked unconscious by Murong Xu and Lin Xijin with the butts of their guns respectively.
In the other military camp, Jun Xisheng's cronies had all been captured by Murong Xu's men, waiting for Murong Xu to come back and deal with them.
