After the death of King Shihu of Later Zhao, the Central Plains was in chaos. Count sacks.

After the death of Emperor Jingzhao, Murong Jun, he became the Dazai, named the King of Taiyuan, assisted the young master, and took charge of the government. Without selfishness, he built the largest territory of the country based on "rule of virtue", which caused panic in neighboring countries.

Murong Ke is the fourth son of Murong Hao, the former Emperor of Yan Wenming. His mother Gao was not favored, so he has never been noticed by his father Murong Hao.

In 336 A.D., Murong Ke was 15 years old. Every time his father talked to him, he could tell the truth of the world. Murong Ke was favored by Murong Hao, so he handed over the army to him.

In May 338 A.D., Emperor Shihu of the Later Zhao Dynasty attacked Duanbu Xianbei alone because the Yan army violated the contract.

The two armies of Yan and Zhao held each other for more than ten days, but the Zhao army could not overcome, so they retreated. Murong Hao sent Murong Ke to lead 2000 cavalry out of the city in the early morning to pursue and kill them.

When Shi Hu saw the division in the city, he was shocked, abandoned his armor and fled, Murong Ke took advantage of the victory and pursued. After the defeat, Zhao Jun captured more than [-] ranks.

In December of the same year, Duan Liao, the leader of Duanbu Xianbei, sent an envoy to Hou Zhao to surrender, but he regretted halfway, and then sent an envoy to ask to surrender to Qianyan, and conspired with Qianyan to set up an ambush to destroy the Zhao army.

At that time, Shi Hu, Emperor Zhao, sent generals Ma Qiu and Sima Yangyu to accept the surrender with 3 troops. The former king of Yan, Murong Hao, led the army to meet Duan Liao, and sent Murong Ke to lead 7000 cavalry to ambush in Miyun Mountain. .

In October 341 A.D., Murong Hao, king of Yan, took Murong Ke as the general who crossed Liao and guarded Pingguo. Since Murong Han fled and Murong Ren was killed in Qianyan, no one was able to guard Liaodong.

Murong Ke traveled to Pingguo, caressing the old and cherishing the new, and repeatedly defeated Goguryeo's soldiers. Goguryeo was afraid of him and dared not enter the Yan territory again.

In October 345 A.D., Murong Ke ordered Murong Ke to attack Goguryeo. Murong Ke attacked Nansu (now the confluence of Dongsuzi River and Hunhe River in Fushun City, Liaoning Province) and sent troops to stay behind.

In the first month of 346 A.D., Murong Hao sent Murong Ke, his eldest son Murong Jun, Murong Jun, Mu Yugen and 1.7 cavalry to attack Fuyu.

In the end, the Yuwen army was defeated, and the Yan army took advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer Zimengchuan, the capital of the Yuwen clan (now northwest of Chaoyang, Liaoning). Yuwen Yidou fled and died in Mobei, and the Yuwen clan dispersed from then on.

In 350 A.D., Ran Min, the great general of Later Zhao, occupied the city of Ye. After the death of Later Zhao, he established himself as emperor.

In August 351 AD, Murong Jun sent Murong Ke to attack Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, Hebei). Following Murong Ke's capture of Zhongshan, Ran Min captured Xiangguo (now Xingtai, Hebei) in order to plan Youzhou, and Qianyan occupied Youzhou After that, I also want to continue to move south, and according to the Central Plains, a big battle is inevitable.

In April 352 A.D., Ran Min was about to start a war with Qianyan. General Dong Run and Chariot General Zhang Wen bitterly advised Ran Min not to fight Qianyan. Ran Min refused and moved his army to Anxi (now Dingzhou, Hebei Province) ).

Murong Ke immediately led his troops to the army. The Wei and Yan armies fought ten times, and the Yan army was defeated.

Murong Ke encouraged the soldiers in front of the battle, pointing out that Ran Min was brave but not resourceful, and his army was hungry and exhausted, so he would surely be defeated.

Ran Min's troops had many infantry and wanted to lead the Yan cavalry to fight in the jungle. Murong Ke adopted the strategy of joining the army and dispatching Qingqi to intercept them.

Murong Ke led the central army by himself, and selected 5000 good shooters. They marched forward in a phalanx with iron chained horses, and the other two troops were placed on each side to cooperate with the main force. Ran Min relied on his courage to underestimate the enemy. The central iron horse phalanx.

In 352 AD, after Ran Min was captured by Murong Ke's army, his son Ran Cao defected to Wang Wu, the general guarding Lukou (now Raoyang, Hebei). In July, Wang Wu claimed to be King An and fought against Qianyan.

In August, Murong Jun sent Murong Ke, Taiwei Feng Yi, and Shang Shu Ling Yangyu to attack Lukou. Wang Wu resisted with the danger of the city and sent Ran Cao to the Yan army.

Murong Ke knew that the city of Lukou was strong and would be difficult to conquer temporarily, so he harvested all the crops outside the city and withdrew to Zhongshan (now Dingzhou City, Hebei Province).

In October, Murong Ke settled in Anping, accumulated grain, built siege equipment, and prepared to attack Wang Wu. At that time, Zhongshan Sulin raised troops in Wuji, claiming to be the Son of Heaven, and Murong Ke led the army to attack Sulin first.

In October, Murong Jun sent Guangwei General Mu Yugen to help Murong Ke and kill Su Lin. Soon, Wang Wu killed Qin Xing for him, and Lu Hu killed Qin Xing again, and succeeded King An.

In February 354 A.D., Murong Ke once again sent troops to encircle Lukou, conquered it the next month, and Lu Hu fled to Yewang (now Qinyang, Henan).

In April, Murong Jun named Murong Ke the king of Taiyuan with Murong Ke as Da Sima, Shizhong, Dadudu, and Lushang Shushi.

In February 361 A.D., General Lu Hu of Southern Ning, guarding Ye Wang (now Qinyang, Henan), secretly joined the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty took Lu Hu as the former general and governor of Jizhou.

Lu Hu wanted to lure the Eastern Jin army to attack Yecheng, the capital of Yan (now Linzhang, Hebei), but before he could act, the matter was exposed. In March, King Yan sent Murong Ke to lead the army to Yewang to quell the rebellion.

Murong Ke led an army of 5, and the champion general Huangfuzhen led 1 troops. They entered the Yewang City, and Lu Hu closed the city to hold on. .

Huangfuzhen had prepared in advance, and Murong Ke led the troops to attack from the flanks. Lu Hu's troops suffered heavy casualties. Lu Hu fled to Xingyang (now Xingyang, Henan Province) alone. The Yan army captured the wild king and ended the battle of the wild king.

In 355 A.D., Qianyan defeated the forces of the Shi clan and Ranwei, expanded its territory, and became a regime spanning the four states of You, Hebei, Bing, and Ping. It broke away from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Murong Jun proclaimed himself emperor.

Duan Kan thought that he and Murong Jun came from Xianbei, so he wrote a letter to Murong Jun claiming to be the emperor. In addition, the Duan tribe occupied Guanggu and its power was getting stronger, threatening the rule of Qianyan, so Murong Jun decided to send troops to attack Guanggu.

In November, Murong Jun led his army to attack Guanggu with Murong Ke as the governor and general of Fujun, and Shangshu Lingyang as his deputy. In December, when the Yan army reached the north bank of the Yellow River, Murong Ke first crossed the river in a light boat to test the truth.

After Murong Ke besieged Guanggu for seven months, Duan Niang was unable to support him, so he sent people to the Eastern Jin Dynasty for help. In August, the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent Xun Xian, the governor of Xuzhou, to rescue the siege. Xun Xian traveled to Langya, fearing that the Yan army would not advance.

Just as Wang Teng led the army to attack Juancheng (now Juancheng, Shandong), Xun Xian then attacked Yangdu (now Yinan, Shandong) and beheaded Wang Teng.

Duan Kan went out to fight and was defeated by Murong Ke in the siege. He fled back to the city alone. In November, Duan Kan had to surrender because he was poor.

Murong Ke appeased the people, pacified the land of Qi, moved more than [-] households from Xianbei, Hu, and Jie to Ji, and left Murong Chen in Guanggu. And also.

After the Battle of Guanggu City, Zhuge You, the prefect of Taishan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, attacked Dongjun (now Puyang, Henan).

Murong Ke took advantage of the victory to cross the Yellow River, occupied part of the land in Henan, and set up a guard. After that, the former Yan's jurisdiction quickly extended to the south of the Yellow River, posing a threat to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In February 365 AD, Murong Ke and Wu Wang Murong Chui jointly attacked Luoyang. In March, they conquered it and captured General Yangwu Shen Jin.

Murong Ke regretted that he was a rare scholar and wanted to forgive him. Murong Qian wrote a letter saying: Although Shen Jin is a rare scholar, he should not be used for himself in the end.
