Wen Yunxi was worried that Sang Fu's troops would arrive before her, so after leaving Xuan Lin, she almost ran away, and finally returned to the Lixi clan in the early morning of the next day.
"Master, you are finally back." Yi Hongfei was supposed to leave with Hong Dong, but she had many things to discuss with Wen Yunxi, so she could only wait anxiously.
When Wen Yunxi saw Yi Hongfei's appearance, he immediately became energetic. He quickly waved away the others and asked excitedly: "Have you found Hong Dong?"
After Sang Fu divided the Red Moon Army into four stations, he did not appoint a general. Instead, he served as the general himself. The generals in the stations were leaderless. Long-term separation and competition stood between them. It was not easy to mobilize them to cooperate.
Even if Sang Fu uses military talismans, he may encounter situations where the yin and yang go against each other. At this time, Hong Dong, the biological son of the old patriarch and a general respected by many soldiers, even if he cannot say that he is against the generals, let them help him a little. It's still ok.
If you think about it further, you can still use Hong Dong's identity to make a fuss. Sang Fu chose his relatively close nephew because the old patriarch had no successor. Now Sang Fu is notorious in the streets, but Hong Dong is intact. , as long as many Zhanyue clan forces can be brought over under the banner of returning to the original owner, the balance that was originally tilted towards Sang Fu can gradually tilt towards her side.
"I found it. I also made a good deal with Brother Dong and he is willing to support me as the clan leader." Yi Hongfei told Wen Yunxi the process in detail.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wen Yunxi sighed after hearing this. She was naturally happy to have Hong Dong's support, but the time was staggered by two days. If she had known the news in advance, she would not have had to rush to find Xuan Lin to cooperate, and she would have been forced to Sign an agreement on equal division of power.
"What's wrong?" Yi Hongfei couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Wen Yunxi's expression changing.
She believed in Wen Yunxi's ability, and knew that with Hong Dong's support, their chances of winning were greatly increased, but she couldn't prevent another accident.
"Alas, I negotiated a cooperation with King Lin, but I lost some money."
Wen Yunxi did not hide the content of the agreement from Yi Hongfei, and told her the content of the agreement. Yi Hongfei also sighed. They were the ones fighting Sang Fu. Xuan Lin only needed to send troops to intercept some of the troops, and he would share half of the benefits. It really hurts.
But now is not the time to regret. Since the agreement has been signed, this can only be done. Although Xuan Lin's side is of little use, it at least guarantees that they will not have more enemies.
Wen Yunxi had no time to continue to be upset. She took out a brocade bag from her arms and handed it to Yi Hongfei, "Give this to Hong Dong and tell him that he will get double the amount when the matter is completed."
Yi Hongfei quickly put the brocade bag close to his body, patted his chest and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely bring it."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety." Wen Yunxi smiled and watched Yi Hongfei leave.
Although she and Yi Hongfei are masters and apprentices, it is more appropriate to say they are partners. When she cured Yi Hongfei's youngest son, Yi Hongfei reciprocated and helped her deal with the gangsters who came to make trouble. At that time, she asked Su Qiao to inquire about Yi Hongfei. Hongfei later cooperated with Yi Hongfei and the Yi family through the resumption of work, and they always got what they needed.
The same is true now. Yi Hongfei wants to be the leader of the Zhanyue tribe, and she also needs a trustworthy and capable manager, so they hit it off.
After seeing off Yi Hongfei, Wen Yunxi went to Elder Shi to ask about the situation. Elder Shi said: "Sang Fu arrived at the southeast garrison two days ago and started ordering troops that day, but for some reason there has been no movement."
Since occupying Qinyan Pavilion, Wen Yunxi has sent people to various places to inquire about the news, and several garrison areas are the focus of attention. If the message transmission cannot only rely on manpower and the time difference is too big, she will get more information.
"Don't worry about Sang Fu for now. Can someone help me hold him off for a few days? Where is Shi Yan? Is he back?"
Elder Shi shook his head, "He took people to the Yueling clan, but he sent someone back, saying that he had reached an agreement with the Fu family of the Baijiao clan. As long as we send troops to attack, the Fu family will immediately rebel and control the royal family first. "Okay, let me trouble Elder Shi with this matter." Wen Yunxi bowed his hands to Elder Shi, turned around and walked towards Qinyan Pavilion.
At the same time, in the Honglian Clan's meeting hall, the patriarch Barina was discussing this matter with the elders.
"Clan leader, our location is remote. No matter how hard Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu fight, they can't spread to the clan. There is no need to get involved."
"Elder Xi is right, let's just watch them fight. It's best to hurt both sides and maybe get some advantages."
"I think we should support Sang Fu. When the Shui Yi Tribe and the Zhan Yue Tribe fought before, anyone who sided with Sang Fu got a lot of benefits. We have never had any friendship with Sang Fu, so why not take this opportunity..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? People like Sang Fu can't be trusted at all. The tribes in the south made money from the port because of their marriage relationship with him. The Yanye tribe also supported Sang Fu at that time, and they were suppressed in the end. What?"
"Then shouldn't it be enough for us to marry Sang Fu? He has so many sons, so we can arrange for a few beautiful girls to come over..."
"Impossible, I will never let a girl from my clan marry those sons of Sang Fu. Those are not human beings at all!"
Although the Honglian clan is remote, there are still salesmen who come to deliver newspapers. The story of the Sang family's children killing the people of Lanzhou has long been spread. Even though the newspaper only mentioned those two people, Sang Fu himself built Qinyan Pavilion and Heilin Village. He tortured and killed people, so how many of his sons were good people?
"So what, for the development of our clan, someone has to sacrifice."
"Oh, I remember that you have two daughters who haven't gotten married yet. Why don't you just let them go." Elder Xu looked at Elder An coldly. If someone needs to be sacrificed, then she should sacrifice her own family.
"You!" Elder An was so angry that his hands were shaking, and just as he was about to retaliate, Barina, who was sitting at the table, waved her hand to interrupt her impatiently.
"Okay, the noise is giving me a headache." Barina scanned everyone and fixed her gaze on Elder An, "Elder An is right, we should really seize the opportunity."
Elder Xu was stunned and quickly stopped him: "Clan leader, we can't trust Sang Fu..."
"I know, so I want to support Wen Yunxi."
As soon as Barina said this, the remaining elders who had not spoken couldn't help but stand up to speak, but Barina raised her hand to interrupt.
"Don't worry, listen to me first."
Barina is quite prestigious in the clan. Even if the elders have thousands of things to say, they can only swallow it down and listen to her reasons with their ears pricked up.
"Obviously, it is true that Sang Fu has the upper hand. He is the Xuanfu envoy of Lanzhou, with the support of the Central Plains court behind him. He is also the leader of the Zhanyue tribe. He controls hundreds of thousands of Red Moon troops. He also has several allies in the south. Together, There are at least 200,000 troops, several times more than Wen Yunxi."
"In comparison, Wen Yunxi is an exiled sinner. Not only does he not have the support of the court, but he may also be targeted by the court. Even if he has the support of the people of Lanzhou, how can the people defeat the well-trained Red Moon Army? Not much chance of winning."
