Chapter 256 Li Qianshun: Fakes are good things!
Bang!
Helian Tieshu was thrown to the ground by Murong Fei, right in front of Murong Fu.

He banged his head against the ground, making him dizzy and seeing stars, and then he fell flat on his face.

After waking up a little, Helian Tieshu looked at Murong Fu and Li Qinglu, and the huge army behind them. He was terrified, his face turned pale, and he was speechless for a while.

"Helian Tieshu, who are you? You are just a slave of the Li family! My wife, Princess Yinchuan, is your master, so I am also your master. You saw the master coming from afar, why didn't you step forward and salute?" Murong Fu asked.

Is it because of this?

Helian Tieshu was shocked.

Although this is true in theory, he is the general of the Western Xia who conquers the east after all. Should he be so humble?
Even the Emperor and the Queen Mother had to give him some face and did not dare to treat him as a slave. Why was Murong Fu so arrogant?
But now he had to bow his head under the eaves, and thinking of what happened to Prince Jin Richard, Helian Tieshu's ghost was scared and his head was pounding like garlic. He said, "My eyesight is not good. I didn't see you, my master, and I didn't react for a while. I hope the princess and the prince consort will forgive me!"

"Qinglu, how do you think we should deal with such a rude servant?" Murong Fu asked Li Qinglu.

"killed."

Li Qinglu's words frightened Helian Tieshu so much that he turned pale.

Fortunately, Li Qinglu said, "It's not appropriate to kill him. After all, he has made some contributions to the Queen Mother. For the Queen Mother's sake, just give him thirty military sticks!"

"Then I'll give you thirty military sticks!" Murong Fu said calmly, "Why don't you thank me?"

"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Prince Consort!" Helian Tieshu said hurriedly.

Murong Fu waved his hand and Helian Tieshu was dragged down and beaten with military sticks. The thirty military sticks hit him hard and made loud crackling sounds, making Helian Tieshu wail incessantly.

The morale of the Western Army defending the city was greatly boosted, while the Western Xia soldiers felt ashamed. Their commander-in-chief was actually treated like a slave by Murong Fu and was directly grabbed and beaten with a military stick.

The key point is that Murong Fu is indeed the prince consort of Yinchuan of Western Xia, and the person following him is the Princess Yinchuan of Western Xia, and the one who arrested people is Tuoba Fei, a young and famous general of Western Xia who was once famous.

Therefore, although Murong Fu's reasoning was outrageous, it was actually in line with the principle of the upper nobles educating the lower nobles.

This made the Ming army's arrogance far superior to that of the Western Xia army.

This was exactly one of Murong Fu's small goals, which was to constantly establish his authority and strengthen his image of tyranny and despotism in the minds of the Xixia people.

The Western troops including Zhong Shizhong who were watching would be more inclined to rely on Murong Fu after seeing how powerful he was.

After all, the commander of the Western Xia army, whom they could not do anything to, was nothing more than a slave in Murong Fu's eyes.

Politics is a game of human hearts, and people’s hearts will always be divided into superior and inferior ones. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

And Murong Fu must show that he always has the upper hand.

A moment later, Helian Tieshu, who had been beaten with thirty military sticks like a dead dog, was dragged over and thanked Murong Fu and Li Qinglu again weakly.

Murong Fu said: "Go back and tell my father-in-law that I will go to see him with the princess tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with him in detail!"

After that, Murong Fu said to Murong Fei: "Send him back!"

At that moment, Murong Fei rode alone with Helian Tieshu and sent him back to the Western Xia army.

Although the Western Xia army was large in numbers, no one dared to move and just watched.

When Helian Tieshu returned to the army, he felt extremely ashamed and could only say, "Withdraw, withdraw!"

Soon, the Western Xia army that was all over the mountains and plains retreated like a tide.

The siege of Fengxiang Prefecture was solved casually and effortlessly by Murong Fu.

At this moment, the Western Army generals such as Zhong Shizhong truly realized Murong Fu's power and dared not neglect him. They all came to the city gate and knelt to welcome Murong Fu into the city.

"Yuan Cheng."

"Zhongshizhong"

"Yang Kezhi"

"Your Highness! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"

The senior officers of the Western Army, led by Yuan Cheng, the governor of Qinfeng Road, knelt to welcome Murong Fu with the etiquette of welcoming the emperor.

Murong Fu smiled and dismounted, helped Yuan Cheng up, and ordered all the generals to stand up, saying: "I have not officially ascended the throne and become emperor yet, so you don't need to call me your official for now, just call me the King of Yan."

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Yan."

"You have held on to Qinfeng Road for so long, thank you for your hard work!" Murong Fu said loudly, "I came here not only to bring reinforcements, but also your former comrades, as well as military pay and supplies! You have made great contributions in defending the city, and everyone can register to receive military pay!"

At that moment, Murong Fu calmly entered Fengxiang Prefecture. Under the pretext of distributing military salaries, he actually obtained the personal information of the remaining Western Army and won over the morale of the troops.

He was not afraid of any assassination at all. Now that Sweeper Lao Deng was dead, even if all the masters in the world joined forces, they would still be unable to defeat him with just three or two moves.

Murong Fu's courage and calmness shocked the whole audience. Zhong Shizhong, Yuan Cheng and others were convinced. They also heard such voices everywhere in the city -
"Whose salary do you receive?" "The salary of the King of Yan!"

"Fighting for whom?"

"Fight for King Yan and Ming!"

The generals knew that Murong Fu had completely conquered the Western Army. After all, the Western Army was just a job, and changing the emperor was just changing the boss.

Since the new boss is willing to pay me, I will just follow him.

And judging from the appearance of the new boss, he is even more powerful than the Emperor Taizu back then.

Murong Fu, the most obedient and powerful man in the army, broke through the Xixia army's line with his hard power as soon as he arrived, captured their commander alive, and beat them with military sticks, forcing the Xixia army to roll back in disgrace.

Is there anything more powerful than this?
Moreover, Murong Fu deliberately let the Ming army, especially the Ming army assembled by the Western Army, publicize the treatment of the new court in the city.

"What? Er Gouzi, you divided the land?"

"Yes, it's good fertile land on Gyeonggi Road. I heard from the higher-ups that our children will all be registered in Tokyo. If they make achievements, they can get extra points in the imperial examinations!"

"I heard that he is brave in battle, has a clean background, and is still single at the age of 30. Mingzun will give him a wife!"

"This is too good to be true! No wonder you look so rosy!"

For the top ruling class, there are all kinds of complex calculations when they make the choice of sides.

But for these low-level soldiers who have nothing, whoever gives them more money, treats them better, and promises them a bright future is the lord they swear allegiance to until death.

Murong Fu was not much better than the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was better in one respect: he was willing to spend money, and he was able to find money and spend it in the right places.

In the government office.

Murong Fu asked Zhong Shidao and Zhong Shizhong to reminisce about the past, and then he summoned all the generals and said:
"I think you all know that I am still the Yinchuan prince consort of Xixia, so I plan to have a talk with the emperor of Xixia tomorrow. If the talk goes well, Xixia will voluntarily withdraw its troops, and Xixia will be incorporated into my Ming Dynasty and become a part of my Ming Dynasty."

Zong Shidao said worriedly: "Your Highness, the Western Xia has been separatist for a long time, and it is difficult for people to submit to our Celestial Empire. Moreover, the Western Xia emperor is an ambitious man. Although he is your Highness's father-in-law, he cannot be trusted easily, and we must be on guard against him!"

Murong Fu smiled and said, "Your heartfelt words make me sure that you are really a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Your worries are justified, but it doesn't matter. My father-in-law is ambitious but incompetent. He can be a peaceful emperor and play a diplomatic balance. If he really meets a ruthless person, he will be timid. Don't worry, even if Xixia is gone, you will not be without wars. If our dynasty wants to truly unify the world, there are plenty of opportunities for you to make achievements!"

Huanqing Road.

Gyeongju City.

As soon as he saw Li Qianshun, Helian Tieshu began to cry and accuse Gusu Murong Fu of being arrogant and unreasonable.

After the exaggerated accusation, Helian Tieshu lay on the ground, pointing at his injured buttocks, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Murong Fu was not hitting my buttocks, he was clearly hitting your face!"

Li Qianshun couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Shut up!"

Helian Tieshu didn't dare to say a word.

Li Qianshun paced back and forth, sighing, "My son-in-law is indeed troublesome and extremely rude. He is indeed a Xianbei barbarian who has no knowledge of etiquette!"

Helian Tieshu couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: Your Li family's ancestors were surnamed Tuoba, and it seems that they were also of Xianbei Hu race.

"What's even more regrettable is that, for some reason, the Queen Mother was also bewitched by Murong Fu and no longer supports me." Li Qianshun was gloomy at first, then gritted his teeth and said, "Qinglu is my only daughter, the apple of my eye. I love her so much, but she is also an extrovert. It's true what the ancients said, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled!"

Li Qianshun paused, and then said: "But I have to meet them tomorrow, otherwise it seems that I am afraid of him. However, I have to gather 200,000 troops, and only allow Murong Fu and Qinglu to come. Isn't he conceited about his martial arts? I will test his courage and defeat him! What's the use of his martial arts in the siege of 200,000 troops? If he wants to fight with me, it is still unknown who will win!"

Li Qianshun was not unaware of how terrible Murong Fu was, but the taste of power could make people lose their minds. Moreover, after Li Qianshun captured Huanqing Road, his ambition expanded greatly.

"Your Majesty, Murong Fu always likes to kill people in a fit of rage, and he is also a man who doesn't recognize his relatives." Helian Tieshu reminded, "We must be on guard against this."

"I'm not stupid. I can't find a master yet, and I can't practice martial arts yet." Li Qianshun said, "But I found something interesting!"

After saying that, Li Qianshun clapped his hands.

I saw another Li Qianshun appear in the room, imitating Li Qianshun so vividly that it was difficult to tell the real from the fake.

"What is this?" Helian Tieshu's eyes widened.

"A fake is a good thing! This is my stand-in, disguised by the art of appearance change." Li Qianshun said, "He will replace me tomorrow to meet Murong Fu, and I will hide in the dark. Even if Murong Fu kills someone, he is just killing a stand-in. If he dares to do such a thing, there is no reason for the Queen Mother to protect him. With my order, thousands of arrows will be fired, and thousands of troops will be dispatched, and he will be reduced to dust!"

"Humph, I even hope that he can make the first move. Once he dies, the so-called Ming Dynasty will immediately fall into chaos, and I may not be without a chance!"

Obviously, Li Qianshun's impression of Murong Fu's martial arts still remained on the last time when Murong Fu killed Brother Richard in front of him, and he didn't know that Murong Fu was about to turn into a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Although there were various exaggerated legends about Murong Fu in the newspapers, Li Qianshun couldn't believe them. After all, propaganda always exaggerates.

The history books also say that Liu Bang's mother was raped by a dragon, gave birth to Liu Bang, and Liu Taigong was cuckolded. Isn't this more fantastic than Murong Fu?
Can you believe it?
Of course you can’t believe it!
Murong Fu is nothing more than an enhanced version of Xiang Yu!
