Chapter 207 Winter Offensive: Destroy Song!

Xuanci was just a cover in public. Murong Fu had long known that the mastermind behind this series of events was the old Deng, the Sweeping Monk.

Murong Fu despised the enemy strategically but took the enemy seriously tactically. Although he was proud of his invincible martial arts, he did not underestimate the Sweeping Monk.

During the battle of Shaoshi Mountain, Xiao Feng's martial arts were incomparable to Xingzilin's, and he was actually ranked first among the Four Great Masters of Tianlong. His most glorious achievement was when the Sweeping Monk attacked Xiao Yuanshan and he beat the Sweeping Monk so hard that he vomited blood. The Sweeping Monk praised him for his "excellent kung fu".

The Sweeping Monk easily resolved Jiumozhi's sneak attack, while in the original version, Murong Fu fought the Sweeping Monk with all his strength, but was bounced away by the Sweeping Monk's air wall and was defeated by the Sweeping Monk.

The Four Supremes and the Three Elders are all masters of the same level, except that the peak Tong Lao is a little stronger, while the original Li Qiushui will be overtaken by Xiao Feng and Jiumozhi.

In the era of the Twin Eagles, this level was the standard Five Absolutes level, and when facing the Sweeping Monk, the Five Absolutes level was like a child fighting a grown man, and they were defeated with one move.

It can be said that among the true masters of the gold system, the Sweeping Monk’s performance is indeed the undisputed number one.

Moreover, the Sweeping Monk has never been serious. He seemed to be in a playful attitude. If he really wanted to dodge, could Xiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm really hit him?
But he doesn't hide, he just plays.

And judging from his performance afterwards, the Dragon Subduing Palm, which is considered to be the pinnacle of external martial arts in the world, coupled with its best user, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng's eagerness to save his father, had the following impact on the Sweeping Monk - no effect at all.

The Sweeping Monk continued to fly with Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, and was able to bring them back to life. When he really wanted to hide, Xiao Feng tried his best but was still unable to be affected by the Sweeping Monk's exhaust gas.

There is no doubt that in terms of martial arts, the Sweeping Monk has reached the pinnacle in the world.

However, Murong Fu was confident that he was better than the Sweeping Monk because he had not only trained his Qi martial arts to the peak, but his physical body as well, and he possessed the Seventh Level Great Shift of the Universe plus the Change of the Stars, which were the peak of strength, and the Six Meridians Divine Sword represented the peak of attack power.

The Sweeping Monk only reached the peak in one dimension, but Murong Fu was a terrifying hexagonal warrior who had trained all dimensions to the peak and no longer had any shortcomings.

What's more, "fists fear young men, and guns fear old men." The Sweeping Monk, the old monk, went to Shaolin Temple forty years ago. He was at least thirty years old at that time, and now he is at least seventy years old.

As people age, their muscles and bones are no longer their strength, and martial arts are not magical arts, so as they age, their bodies will weaken.

For example, Zhou Botong’s martial arts skills are better than Yang Guo’s, the Divine Condor Hero, but in a fight of life and death, he would definitely be killed by Yang Guo because Yang Guo is younger and has stronger muscles and physical strength.

Murong Fu is younger than Yang Guo during the Condor Heroes period. He has intact arms and has cultivated both inner and outer strengths. Naturally, he is superior to the Sweeping Monk.

However, we cannot ignore the threat from the Sweeping Monk just because we are powerful.

After all, apart from Murong Fu himself, no one can be a match for the Sweeping Monk. Even the current Tong Lao cannot be a match for the Sweeping Monk. Moreover, the time for Tong Lao to regain her youth is approaching.

What he was afraid of was that if the Sweeping Monk, Lao Deng, discovered that he was no match for Murong Fu, he would simply avoid Murong Fu and kill Murong Fu's men without any moral principles. Murong Fu would then be in real trouble.

Therefore, Murong Fu had to eliminate the hidden danger of the Sweeping Monk while the Sweeping Monk was unaware of Murong Fu's true strength.

The Sweeping Monk is so awesome! The Song Dynasty does not allow such an awesome person to exist!

He committed the crime of "not being arrogant", so Murong Fu had to find a way to kill him.

However, this is a very simple matter and will not affect Murong Fu's rebellion plan.

First destroy Shaolin, then destroy all the heroes, sweep across the Song Dynasty, and dominate the world!
At this moment, Murong Fu found the three major foreign forces with which he was colluding.

Li Qiushui representing Western Xia.

Jiumozhi represents Tubo.

Duan Yanqing representing Dali.

"Ming Wang, after this deal is done, you will be a member of Yi Xin Hui, and all the martial arts of Yi Xin Hui will be open to you." Murong Fu promised Jiumozhi, "And I found that there are hidden dangers in your martial arts training, Ming Wang, I can help you solve the hidden dangers. Ming Wang, are you sure you can convince the Tubo King?"

Jiumozhi said confidently: "Master, rest assured. The Tubo King listens to my words. Moreover, the Song Dynasty has been unsuccessful in attacking Xixia in recent years, so it wants to bypass Tubo. Tubo is already in danger under the pressure of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty can be weakened, the Tubo King will be happy. Tubo will send at least 10,000 troops, and there are many masters in my Dalun Temple. I can bring them with me to help you."

For his own personal advancement, Jiumozhi planned to sacrifice the entire Tubo to Murong Fu, and he spent a huge amount of money, even sparing the monks of Dalun Temple.

Bring them all out to help Murong Fu build his empire.

This is also because Jiumozhi is a smart man. He saw that Murong Fu had unlimited potential. Even though Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was not as good as Murong Fu in martial arts and power, he was able to establish the Song Dynasty. It is conceivable what great achievements Murong Fu would create.

Now on board, he can not only gain endless benefits in martial arts, but can even rely on this merit to secure good conditions for Tubo in the future.

"That's troublesome!" Murong Fu said, "January 1st of next year is when we will send out our troops. I hope that you, the King, will abide by the agreement and send troops to the Song Dynasty!"

"Please rest assured!" Jiumozhi said proudly, "That country leader doesn't listen to me, I will change another country leader. The Tubo prince is my disciple!"

Jiumozhi was not a useless person who only had martial arts but was afraid to use them against the powerful. He held a high status in Tubo. Not only did he kill the Black Sect with great ferocity, he also killed the Tubo nobles who were against him as if they were killing dogs or chickens, without mercy.

"Then I'm relieved." Murong Fu looked at Li Qiushui again, "Uncle Qiushui, I hope you can also send troops from Xixia on January 1st to attack the Song Dynasty and help me contain the Western Army."

Li Qiushui said: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I have a blood feud with the Song Dynasty! I am waiting for you to march into Tokyo. I really like the guillotine you designed. It will be fun to use it to chop off the heads of all the descendants of the Zhao family!"

Li Qiushui's grandmother was Xiao Zhouhou. Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou suffered the great humiliation of losing their country. Li Qiushui remembered the family shame and now was the time for revenge.

This is also the reason why she is most supportive of Murong Fu's rebellion.

After that, Li Qiushui said sternly: "After I return home, I will mobilize the entire Western Xia and send out an army of 200,000 to attack the Song Dynasty. Whoever dares not obey my orders will be killed by me!"

Murong Fu smiled and said, "I feel at ease with you, Uncle Qiushui."

Finally, Murong Fu looked at Duan Yanqing.

"Yanqing, haven't you reached the top yet?" Murong Fu asked.

"This step is very difficult, very difficult!" Duan Yanqing said, "Thanks to your guidance, my lord, and your personal help in helping me to open the gate with the power of the One Yang Finger, my withering and flourishing Zen has reached the state of half withering and half flourishing, and I am only a little bit away from the highest state of both withering and flourishing. All I need is to combine the dragon and the tiger to break the shackles and open the Ren and Du meridians." "This step is very difficult, but with your current martial arts, it is not difficult to do things in Dali." Murong Fu said, "This is the credit for your son's establishment of a foundation, you must pay attention to it."

Duan Yanqing said: "Don't worry, I am sure I can take the monks of Tianlong Temple with me. I can also force Duan Zhengming to order the dispatch of troops. As for the barbarians of the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan, they can all dispatch troops as long as they are promised huge benefits. Only the Gao family is domineering and needs the help of your reputation, lord!"

"Very good!" Murong Fu said, "I will write a letter myself, and you give it to Gao Shengtai, telling him that if the Gao family dares to stop you, I will wipe out the Gao family one day, leaving no one alive! Don't say I didn't warn you!"

"Yes!" Duan Yanqing accepted the order.

With this letter from Murong Fu, he felt much more confident.

"The three of you please take action!" Murong Fu said, "On January 1, I raised an army to destroy the Song Dynasty. On January 3, Shaolin summoned all the heroes to slay the demons! They want to kill me to save the Song Dynasty. Haha, but what if the Song Dynasty is gone? I wonder how terrified and surprised they will be?!"

Afterwards, Murong Fu gathered all his core team members.

"The Song Dynasty has reached the time when it must be destroyed. I am like King Tang of Shang who destroyed King Jie of Xia and King Wu who conquered King Zhou. I have to destroy the tyrannical Song Dynasty for the sake of the people of the world! I appoint Wang Ziqing as the commander-in-chief of the southeast, and I would like to trouble you, Master, to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the southeast, responsible for commanding and preparing for the great uprising in the southeast." Murong Fu issued the order immediately.

Wang Ziqing is actually Wang Qingqing, a woman dressed as a man.

She is Murong Fu's mother, Murong Fu's only child, and the person Murong Fu trusts the most.

The troops in the southeast were weak and there was no need for Murong Fu to be in charge personally, so Murong Fu handed the position of commander-in-chief to his mother.

Wuyazi was the deputy commander, responsible for finding gaps and implementing specific tactics.

With Murong Fu's current strength, he is enough to sweep across the southeast. He doesn't need any command ability, just loyalty.

Both of them have close ties with Murong Fu, so their loyalty goes without saying.

At this moment, both of them accepted the order. They were mentally prepared and were not moved.

Although they are all Murong Fu's elders, Murong Fu's aura is gradually getting stronger, and they all know their own position.

"Fang La, Chen Huaiyun, Ren Beiming, Liu Feng, Gong Yeqian, you five captains are responsible for following the orders of the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief, quickly taking over Liangzhe Road, and then attacking Hangzhou. Then, we will recruit soldiers and sweep across the southeast half of the country." Murong Fu said to several captains, "There is no force in the southeast that can stop you! Within three months, I want the entire southeast half to belong to my Murong family!"

"As ordered!"

Several people were very excited. They didn't expect that as soon as the leader Murong Fu came to power, he would lead them to do great things.

This has been the Ming Cult's ideal for many years, and it is now about to be realized!

Murong Fu said: "Our plan to raise an army to help the world is called the Winter Offensive. This winter, we must destroy the Song Dynasty! Murong Fei, you stay, and the rest of you can disperse."

Everyone dispersed and Murong Fei was left alone.

"Fei'er, how is the Dragon Elephant Cavalry?" Murong Fu asked.

"My godfather, there are only 500 men who are really capable of fighting. The 500 newly recruited men have not been trained well." Murong Fei said, "Even by January 1st, they can hardly be called iron cavalry."

"Then leave them behind to support the Five Elements Flag." Murong Fu said, "Take the 500 most elite men with you, split them into smaller groups, head to Hedong Road, and head straight for Dongjing City."

"Godfather, you..." Murong Fei was shocked.

"Since ancient times, when others rebel, they always start from the local areas, which makes it difficult to attack the central government. Then the central government reacts, calmly arranges, mobilizes the army, and encircles and suppresses the rebels." Murong Fu sneered, "I have unparalleled martial arts skills, and I have internal support in Tokyo City. Tokyo also has a branch of my Mingjiao. Can't I cut off the dragon's head first? To slay the dragon, we must start with beheading!"

Murong Fu's tactics are not uncommon in later generations. With the advent of special forces and modern equipment, many countries like to use this tactic, directly sending special forces to airdrop into the enemy's capital to capture or kill the enemy's leaders.

This is called decapitation tactics.

The train runs fast because of the locomotive, the sea sailing depends on the helmsman, and all things grow because of the sun.

Without a leader, a country will be leaderless for a short period of time, just like when the Jin people captured the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty fell into chaos for a short period of time, and the Jin people rushed around rampantly and were invincible.

Of course, the Jin army had limited strength and failed to capture the elephant, which gave Zhao Gou time to react. Zhao Gou escaped the Jin army's pursuit and eventually established the Southern Song Dynasty with the support of the remaining forces of the Song Dynasty.

However, Murong Fu's main target was the southeast. Once Dongjing fell, the emperor would be captured or killed, the north would lose the grain and money from the south, and the entire Song Dynasty would be in chaos. Add to that the siege of the three kingdoms of Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali, and even with loyal ministers and righteous men, it would be difficult to hold on alone!
Murong Fu is an unrivaled martial artist, his Dragon Elephant Cavalry is also very elite, plus he has an insider in Tokyo City, as well as the assistance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, so he can indeed use a decapitation tactic.

"Tokyo is a big city with a population of one million!" Murong Fei still felt that Murong Fu's plan was too radical. "There are 100,000 imperial guards alone. How can we take over Tokyo with only 500 of us?"

"We shouldn't overestimate the Tokyo Imperial Guards." Murong Fu said, "They are just a makeshift team!"

"What about the baggage and food?"

"The Jinyiwei and Dongchang will make arrangements for you, so you can just go into battle lightly." Murong Fu clapped his hands.

Immediately, Murong Yan and Sikong Xuan came into the room from somewhere.

Murong Fu said: "Sikong Xuan, you ask the people from the East Factory to help Murong Fei transport equipment and food. Five hundred people have little equipment and food. If the East Factory, which is composed of the heroes of Dongdao, can't even handle such a small matter, they have been in the underworld for nothing. As for you, go to Tokyo to contact Tong Guan and ask him to set up the West Factory. You recruit people in Tokyo to prepare for the subsequent maintenance of law and order."

"Yes!" Sikong Xuan said.

Murong Fu then said to Murong Yan: "You also go to Tokyo and hide in the Tokyo branch temple. Keep a close eye on the royal family and ministers. When necessary, you must use the strengths of your assassin group."

"Yes!" Murong Yan licked her lips and said excitedly, "This is really an exciting event. I like it."

"When the time comes, you will mobilize your forces together, open the city gates, and we will attack the city of Tokyo." Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "The inner treasury is burned to ashes, and the streets are trampled with the bones of nobles. This is the most beautiful scenery I have been looking forward to for a long time!"
