Chapter 95: Dunhuang Changes Master

Seeing that Dunhuang is about to change its ownership, some companies are happy and some are sad.

Xue Fu agreed to Murong Teng's surrender to the city and Murong Guiying proposed several conditions, such as not disturbing the people, not implicating them, and treating Cao and others well. Xue Fu also agreed.

That afternoon, Murong Guiying assisted Cao Yuanshen to open the city. Cao Yuanshen held the household registration documents and walked out of the west gate. Li Bin came out on the side. Xue Fu hurriedly met him and said, "Deputy Sima Li, you have suffered."

Li Bin's wheelchair was smashed when Cao Yuande's minions broke into Zhang's mansion. At this time, several people were carrying it in a sedan chair. Cao Yuande did not deliberately try him, but in order to ask him about some of Anxi's military information, Li Bin was not valued under Satuk's tent, and could not say a word to keep secrets. Now he is highly valued in Anxi. His inner belief is more than ten times stronger than when he was under the Uighurs tent. Cao Yuande could not get any useful news from him. After many days, the trauma on his chest and back has not been relieved, but the scars on his face have healed.

When he was in the city, he knew that the Anxi army besieged the city. He was relieved but he didn't know who the commander was. When he saw Xue Fu, he thought to himself: "It turned out to be him."

Li Bin is a person with no foundation in Anxi. He was originally a survivor of Tibetan Monument Valley, but because he had defected to Satuk early, Shiba and others had no feelings for him. Although his status is not low, he was unable to become a representative figure of Tibetan Monument Valley. At this time, he saw Xue Fu, and a ripples appeared in his heart and said with a smile: "I didn't suffer much, I was imprisoned. Besides, I could see today, no matter how hard it was."

Xue Fu asked Li Bin to follow the map, and Li Bin said, "I am Xing Yu, and I will be released before I can be released. I am carrying bad luck on Shazhou. You must use the majesty of the general to take over Shazhou."

Xue Fu asked Murong Chunhua to take over the job. Because Murong Chunhua's qualifications were more advanced than him, Murong Chunhua said: "On that day, the five ministers recommended General Xue as the chief general of the Eastern Expedition. I am the deputy general. Now that I am surrendered, General Xue will accept it."

Ma Jirong also urged Xue Fu to surrender, but Xue Fu refused, so he took the map from Cao Yuanshen. The 20-year rule of Cao's family in Shazhou was over.

The main force of the army was still stationed outside the city, and only 8,000 people were selected to enter the city. Murong Guiying was considerate and arranged for many people to welcome the city gates and the road leading to the Cao family mansion. It is said that Zhang Mai had a good idol effect in Shazhou. At this time, the Anxi Army should be very excited to enter the people. However, due to Cao Yuande's extensive capture of the monks and those who recited the change of the text in the past month, the people in this area were stern. However, when they heard the changes in the military flags on the city, they were still wary of the new platoons, and they didn't know whether they could stand firm, and they didn't know what the situation would be like next, so they could avoid these things.

Seeing that the people were not very enthusiastic, Murong Guiying was transferred to the court, so the cheerers were ordered to come at this time, and the waves were not from the original intention.

Li Bin, Murong Guiying, Murong Chunhua and others looked at Xue Fu, wanting to see if he could use his personal charm to mobilize the morale of the people of Dunhuang, but Xue Fu seemed dumb and just walked past the avenue like a formality, adhering to his duty as a general, and not preparing to have any contact with the people.

After arriving at the Cao family's mansion, Xue Fu led the soldiers into the mansion and issued a general order in the hall, ordering the Anxi army generals to take over the defense of the Eight Gates, as well as key points such as granaries, silver treasurys, barracks, arsenals, etc., and then asked Cao Jiejin again.

Cao Yuanshen said: "My father has suffered a stroke and has been hemiplegia for a long time. Now he is resting himself, so he may not be able to withstand the general's power." When he said this, tears were in his eyes and said: "My brother's affairs, my father's life has been around for a while. I hope the general's affection can make Yuanshen more filial piety under his father's knees."

This sentence clearly shows that Cao Yijin is now very weak and will have any worries about his life if he is disturbed.

Xue Fu was at this time holding the strongest troops in Anxi, but he became more careful in his actions. He turned his eyes to Li Bin and asked for his opinions.

Li Bin has been poisoned for more than a month. He just said it lightly at the city gate, but in fact he accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart! But after all, he has experienced deep sufferings. He has no expression on his face, but he said calmly: "Princess Cao Ling Shagua has been in military and political affairs for twenty years. Now that we have to take the flag from him, how can we not see the face of the Lord? If the Lord is unwell, we will not make loud noises, but people must meet the previous one."

Cao Yuanshen had no choice but to say, "Then wait until I go in and report."

As soon as he took a step, Li Bin asked the servant to lift the sedan chair and followed Cao Yuanshen in, not preparing to wait outside for the Cao family's "permit".

With a yell, the door opened. Xue Fu, Li Bin, Lu Jialing, and Ma Jirong entered. Ma Shun, Tian Han and others were waiting outside. In the dark room, an old servant was serving Cao Yijin to drink medicine. Cao Yuanshen reported, "Father, General Xue, Li Sima, Ma Taiwei, Lu Joiner will come to see you."

Cao Yijin looked up at Xue, Li and Lu, and his fingers moved, and there was no reaction.

Although Li Bin has been isolated in the city for more than a month, he is very knowledgeable and still has a clear understanding of the changes in the political situation in Dunhuang. When he came to Cao Yijin, he wanted to point out in front of Cao Yijin, so that Cao Yijin knew that there was no one in Anxi Africa and also vented his resentment. However, seeing that Cao Yijin was not even opening his lips at this moment, he thought to himself: "If I say a few powerful words to him at this time, I am afraid that he would be irritated to death on the spot. For me, I feel comfortable, but when the Maharaja came, I can only see Cao Yijin's coffin." He held back at that moment.

Seeing that Li Bin did not say anything, Xue Fu said, "Please order *** to recuperate, and we will leave." As soon as he bowed, he went out with Li Bin, Lu Jialing and Ma Jirong.

Cao Yuanshen looked at the backs of the four of them when they went out, and a very uncomfortable thought flashed suddenly in his heart. He knew that from today on, the Cao family would no longer be the owner of the city. From now on, his life in this Dunhuang City will become a living under someone else's roof. The nest is occupied by the dove, and the magpie becomes a guest. Who can understand this psychological gap if it is not personal experience?

A month ago, he didn't understand his elder brother's words and deeds. He felt that Cao Yuande's actions during this period were not only unfaithful and unrighteous, but also very unwise, but suddenly he understood it a little at this moment.

However, the situation has developed to this day, and the path Cao Yuande has taken has completely failed. If he wants to save his family in the future, he can only adjust his mentality.

After Li Bin went out, he sent a battalion of soldiers to protect Cao's mansion, and the supply in the mansion was as usual. However, Ma Jirong said: "Now that Ling Gong has seen him, we still have to ask for the princess."

Li Bin hit his forehead with his hand and shouted, "Oh, why did I forget it! I don't know if the two princesses were scared."

He hurriedly asked the princess where she was. A clever servant had already got out of nowhere and said, "The two princesses live on the Princess's Building in the Back Garden. They were not disturbed when the city was in chaos."

Xue Fu was overjoyed and was busy: "Lead the way!"

The servant led Xue Fu and others to the back garden. The window on the princess building opened a line. The people inside saw Ma Jirong walking into the door of the Yuanyue Cave and cheered: "Sister! It's Ma Taiwei! Ma Taiwei is here!" It was Princess Wen'an's voice.

During this period, Li Congde, the prince of Khotan, was also under house arrest. The two princesses lived upstairs, and he lived downstairs, and his sword was still on the way, afraid that there would be changes in the city. Until now, he heard Wen'an's scream and rushed out and shouted: "Ma Taiwei! You are here!"

Ma Jirong knelt down and bowed in panic, fearing: "The prince was frightened. Ma Jirong came late to protect him, and he deserved to die!"

After Li Congde experienced this major event, he had become much more calm. At this time, he couldn't help but cry in his eyes. He helped Ma Jirong up and cried, "It's good that the Grand Marshal is here, it's good that he's here. I'm not afraid of anything else these days, but I'm afraid that I can't protect my sister and sister."

Looking at the three people behind Ma Jirong, he recognized Li Bin and Lu Jialing, but Xue Fu had never seen him. Ma Jirong said: "This is General Xue. He led the Anxi army to the army. Now the Cao family has surrendered and Shazhou has changed its ownership. We have just met Cao Linggong, so we hurried to pay tribute to the two princesses and the prince."

Wen'an was young and knew nothing, so Fu'an opened the window upstairs. Xue Fu quickly stepped forward and said, "My teacher Xue Fu was ordered to comfort the samurai. It's too late to rescue him. Can the two princesses be safe?"

Fu'an and Zhang Mai have a marriage agreement. Although they have not finished their marriage, they are known to the world. If she is just Princess Khotan, Xue Fu would not come today. But now, when it comes to the honor of the entire Dunhuang City, she is the leader. Although she is weak, she is a person who grew up in the palace and has received good palace education since she was a child. She has experienced many things in the past two years. She had previously been sent to her grandfather's house. Although she was close relatives, she always felt uncomfortable. At this time, when Xue Fu and others came, there were some things that needed to be explained. Just from the eyes and expressions of these people towards her, Fu'an suddenly felt that the whole world had changed.

In this small building, in this Dunhuang City, she is no longer a guest.

Then he said upstairs: "The small building is narrow and shallow, so I can't invite you to go upstairs. Everything is fine here, please don't worry." He asked again: "How is the Great Protector?"

Li Bin stepped forward and said, "Princess Qi, the Great Protector Shang was besieged by Yan Su at Yumen Pass."

Fu'an was shocked and said, "If so, please try to rescue me quickly. All military and political affairs should be the most important, and don't think about Fu'an."

Everyone agreed in unison, Ma Jirong stayed behind himself, but Xue Lilu retreated first and arranged another team of people to protect him.

After leaving, he agreed on his respective duties in a few words: Xue Fu stationed his troops and the camp in the city, Lu Jialing entered Lingtu Temple to accept the monk's books from the temples in the city, Li Bin returned to Zhang Yichao's old residence, Xue Fu asked Li Bin what the government affairs should do in the city, Li Bin said: "Now, everything is about how to save Yumen and Gaochang, and the needs of political affairs will quickly recover. When the Great Protector is rescued and the siege of Gaochang is lifted, there is another saying at that time."

Lu Jialing said: "If you want to reform, you should use foreigners. If you want to be stable, you should use locals."

After the three of them discussed, they issued an order, and Cao Yuanshen temporarily took charge of Shazhou government affairs, with Zhang Yi and Li Zhongbang as the deputy, and all the affairs of governing the people were the same. Zhang Yi was very happy to receive the news. He knew that Cao Yuanshen was just named, and he was the one who had real power. The Zhang family and the Li family had their own group of people. As soon as Xue Fu ordered, a group of people would be replaced from the center to the local area. However, Li Bin just sent someone to help.

Murong Teng was quite dissatisfied with this, and Murong Guiying smiled and said, "This is only for the time being. Let's take another action after Zhang Longxiang comes back. Let's bear it. The most important thing now is to save the Yumen. Who can make a difference in this matter is to make a great contribution."

Murong Teng said: "Now their army is powerful, but our military power has been undermined. Where is our turn to save the Yumen?"

Murong Guiying smiled and said, "There is more than one strategy to save Yumen. General Xue Fu, who came this time, is not a reckless man and will not act recklessly. I expect he will come to me soon."

Sure enough, he saw Li Bin sending someone to ask him to come to the mansion to speak. Murong Teng said in shock: "Father is really a vague calculation!"

Murong Guiying smiled faintly and said, "Divine Calculation, God's Calculation is just to use this old bone that will be scattered at any time to find a few fertile land for you unworthy descendants."

After the Anxi Army entered Dunhuang City, the original 3,000 Jingqi Station was stationed in the camp. Li Bin still lived in Zhang Yichao's old residence and was in the side hall. When Murong Guiying arrived at the side hall, he saw that there were only Xue Fu, Li Bin and Murong Chunhua. When he was surrendered, Murong Chunhua had not spoken privately to Murong Guiying, and then he met Murong Guiying again with the rituals of his clan uncle and nephew.

When Murong Guiying saw Murong Chunhua respect him, she looked happy and said humbly: "Northwest is now the world of you young people. We old people are just waiting to see you make achievements."

Murong Chunhua said: "Uncle Ying is too humble. Now Shazhou is newly affiliated, Yumen, and Gaochang are in danger of survival. You need to rely on Uncle Ying Gaoluo to save people and rescue people."

Murong Guiying said: "Saving people and rescuing the siege depends on the heroic struggle of the generals. I am old and stupid, so where can I have any high points?"

Xue Fu also stood up and asked Murong Guiying for advice, saying: "When the Great Protector was in Gaochang, he repeatedly praised the veteran general for his loyalty, bravery, wisdom and strategy. This time, Dunhuang was able to surrender smoothly without bloodshed. Old General Murong also made great efforts. Although we have a large army in our hands, it is already a surprise victory to be able to siege Dunhuang. We are not familiar with the situation of the samurai. We should advance, save people, and rescue the siege next. Please do not be stingy with the old general."

Seeing that they were very sincere, Murong Guiying smiled and said, "The Yumen, Gaochang's siege, must first save Yumen and then Gaochang. As long as Zhang Dadugu is rescued, Vijay will naturally feel heartbroken when he hears the news, and then joins Anxi, and the people from Hexi go north. Yizhou can go down without fighting, and Beiting can win in one go. But how to save Yumen Pass, I don't know whether the people want to do a merit or a meritless solution."

Murong Chunhua said: "How is it a meritorious solution, and how is it a meritorious solution?"

Murong Guiying said: "At that time, Emperor Gaozu of Han fought against the King of Chu and sent Li Shiqi to Qi. It was said that Qi surrendered, but Han Xin held heavy troops in Qi territory and refused to give it to a scholar with his merits, so he launched the battle of Weishui! After two months of hard work, he destroyed Qi, and Han Xin once again defeated Jianzhen Lord. If you are willing to learn from Han Xin, you can send light troops to attack Jinchang, use a large army to block Yumen, cut off its food route, and at the same time cooperate with Yumen Pass to attack Yan Su. If it goes well, you can attack Yan Su in one fell swoop. This is a meritorious solution. But if the generals of Guazhou see that the way back is broken and they are desperate, they will probably surrender to Di Yin. At that time, Guazhou will be incorporated into the rule of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, and even if the Great Protector can be rescued, there will still be great troubles in the east."

Li Bin nodded slightly, Xue Fu looked at Li Bin and asked, "So what about the solution of the ineffectiveness?"

Murong Guiying said: "Without merit, I would like to ask Xue and Murong two generals, one guarded Shazhou and one held troops at Shagua border, but sent one to Yansu's military camp. If it goes well, it can seize his army and horses and surrender to Yumen Pass. The troops and horses of Shagua and the army of Anxi were built together. In the smallest, it would be driven eastward to Di Yin out of the country, and in large ones, it would be destroyed by a battle to destroy the Uighurs of Ganzhou. If it doesn't go well, it would still be sent to Shagua border troops and horses to attack Yumen, as planned before."

Murong Chunhua looked at Xue Fu and didn't say anything. Xue Fu looked at Li Bin and said, "Deputy Sima Li, Xue Fu thought that saving the Great Protector is the top priority at present, and personal contributions are not necessary to be considered. I looked at it and followed the solution of Wugong. I was in charge of Shazhou. Brother Chunhua led the army to Chen on the border of Shagua, and then acted according to the advice of the old General Murong."

Li Bin thought to himself: "It is rare for him to control it." Then he said: "It's good, but I can't think of anyone who can enter the army and seize Yan Su's military power."

Murong Guiying said, "If the three of you trust me, I will give you one of you and you will be able to defeat this task!"

At this moment, the outside world came to report: "A cavalry in the north rushed to the suburbs of the city, and nearby villages and towns responded one after another, and now they are stationed outside the city, and their intentions are unpredictable."

Xue Fu said in surprise: "In the north? Could it be that reinforcements came from Yizhou? So fast?"

Murong Chunhua said: "I'll go and have a look!"

But Murong Guiying laughed: "No need to panic, the person who seized Yan Su's military power is here."

Li Bin thought about it and said, "Is it Cao Yuanzhong?"

Murong Guiying said: "It's probably him."

Xue Fu said: "I was driven to Xinghubo by Cao Yuande when I listened to the book. Now he suddenly appeared. I don't know what he intended."

Murong Guiying said, "That's because I heard something happened in Dunhuang, and I came to save my father and brother."

Xue Fu asked, "How to deal with it?"

Murong Guiying said, "Cao Yuan was filial and was chasing him. The people of Shazhou loved his bravery and obeyed his loyalty and filial piety. However, his troops were not large, which was not a big problem. If the general wanted to kill him, he would need to encircle him on all sides. If the general was willing to recruit him, he would just send Yuanshen out of the city and he could be recruited."

Li Bin said: "When we entered Dunhuang in Anxi, we have always adhered to loyalty and righteousness. How can we kill loyal and righteous people?"

Murong Chunhua said: "But can Cao Yuanshen trust him? When I saw him surrender today, there was a look of humiliation on his face."

Murong Guiying said: "After Dunhuang changed his lords, Yuan Shen, as a clan of the Cao family, naturally could not have no ideas, but Yuan Shen could think twice when encountering things. This is what he is different from Yuande. I think he will be able to understand and figure it out by himself after he leaves the city. If you arrange for a suitable person to go with him, this matter can be completely guaranteed!"
