Huan Rong
Chapter 127 Death
Wandu City was breached, and Murong Chui and Murong De plundered for three days in order to reward their subordinates.
There were ten to seven middle-aged men in the city, and those who survived by chance were arrested as sheep slaves, and put their hands behind their backs into a makeshift sheepfold, where they were guarded like animals.
Women and children were held separately.
All boys who are taller than the wheel are picked out and tied into the sheepfold with the middle-aged men. They only have half a piece of steamed cake and a bowl of cold water every day.
Let's be honest, dishonesty will definitely attract a whip.
Kumoxi was the one who guarded them, and he had a deep hatred with the Goguryeo people. He seized the opportunity and would never stop until they were beaten to pieces.
In the eyes of Jin people, the Hu people occupying the north are barbarians who don't know Chinese etiquette.In the eyes of the Xianbei people who have occupied the Central Plains for many years, these people who make up Goguryeo, Fuyu, and ancient Koreans are even more "people outside the culture".
Xianbei people admired Han culture and looked down on Goguryeo extremely.
In the early years, the king of Goguryeo was dishonest and intended to lead troops to invade the west, taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains to steal the counties and counties set up by the Han Dynasty in the northeast.Cao Wei once sent troops to break through Wandu, forcing the then king of Dongchuan to abandon the city and flee.
After that, Cao Wei was replaced by Jin, and the Jin family moved south due to the Eight Kings Rebellion and Yongjia Rebellion. Goguryeo took the opportunity to move back to the old capital and revived.
It's a pity that it was born at an untimely time, and it was not the time to rekindle.
This time, what they encountered was not the Han army, but Murong Xianbei led by Lord Yan and King Wu.
Murong Xianbei was not long after the founding of the country, and it was in its prime. After several battles, Goguryeo was killed and injured, and the newly built Wandu City was almost razed to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Goguryeo had amazing perseverance. After the Xianbei people withdrew, they rebuilt Wandu City again.The scale is not as good as in the early years, but the presence of the capital proves that the country has not been destroyed and can unite people's hearts.
After that, King Goguryeo organized an army. When Murong Xianbei was at war with the Di people and the Jin people, he sent troops to Baekje and Silla, constantly eroding the land and population, strengthening his strength, and gradually showing signs of recovery.
It's a pity that if people are unlucky, they will get stuffed between their teeth when they drink water.
In less than 30 years, Murong Xianbei once again invaded the country.
This time Lord Yan didn't come, but his old rival Murong Chui and the equally fierce Murong De came.To make matters worse, the purpose of the Xianbei people was not to break through the city and leave in one go, but to push houses to occupy land and take the opportunity to stand on their own.
The Goguryeo people do have tough bones, and they will never retreat on the battlefield.
However, the opponent was too strong, and Kumoxi, who was familiar with the local area, led the way. He was quickly defeated and defeated, with more than half of the casualties.
Murong Xianbei invaded the city, and King Goguryeo abandoned the city and fled again.Except for the elder son, the princess and beauties were all left behind, and more than a dozen children were also left behind, one counted as one, and all became captives of the Xianbei people.
Murong Chong rushed into the palace first, and when he saw the trembling royal family hugging each other, he didn't feel any pity.
Considering Murong Chui's position, he didn't kill them all. He singled out the two older princes to make an example of them, and pointed the bloody blade at the rest of the people: "If you dare to resist, this will be your end!"
After saying that, Murong Chong swept across the hall, walked a few steps to the low couch where the King of Goguryeo handled government affairs, swept away a stack of unprocessed official documents, and sat down with a big horse with a golden knife, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, with a handsome face. Laughter fell on the eyes of the captured people, but it seemed like a vicious god.
"Ask, how long has King Goguryeo been running away?"
The Xianbei cavalry did not understand Goguryeo, and several Kumoxi guides were brought into the hall.
After some questioning, he learned that the king of Goguryeo pretended to leave when the city was broken, and seemed to be fleeing south. Murong Chong swung his long knife and killed several palace maids who were crying endlessly.
The crying stopped abruptly, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Amid the pungent smell of blood, everyone in the palace fell silent, while the Xianbei soldiers grinned, their faces full of sarcasm.
"A group of mouse guts!"
Murong Chong stood up, walked in front of a princess, raised her chin with the tip of a knife, looked carefully until the other person's face turned pale, and then said coldly: "My elder sister is the same age as you , was sent to Chang'an by the old thief Murong Ping, and there was no body left after his death. My sister's nanny said that my sister didn't cry, even if she was sent to the carriage west by my mother, my sister didn't cry."
Princess Qinghe is so beautiful in six parts and is regarded as the number one beauty in Xianbei.
As a result, he was sent to Chang'an because of a "deal", and died soon after.
"Sister is gone, why are you still alive..."
The princess couldn't understand Murong Chong's words, but she could understand his expression.
His whole body stiffened in fright, and he was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound at all. He could only open his eyes wide and watched the blade fall, blood splashed, and finally he lay down in a pool of blood.
From when Murong Chui raised the knife to when the princess fell down, in just a moment, it seemed to be in slow motion, and it slid before everyone's eyes.
"what!"
A young princess was frightened and went crazy on the spot, her mouth was covered by the people around her, and her face was flushed very quickly.
Murong Chong shook off the blood on the knife, sneered, ignored everyone in the hall, turned around and walked away.
If the king of Goguryeo ran northward and hid in Rouran by chance, he might still be able to escape.But he fled to the south, and if he didn't pass through Baekje, he would also go through Silla. There was no third way.
Those two places and Goguryeo are "enemy countries", and the number of wars is uncountable.
Thinking of this, Murong Chong laughed again.
The boy's face is handsome and extraordinary, without any gloomyness, which is in stark contrast with the blood stained on his cheeks, which can sting the eyes of the viewers.
After interrogating everyone in the palace, Murong Chui made a decisive decision and sent people to chase south.
Before the Xianbei soldiers had chased them for twenty miles, a Baekje army came to meet them.There was a prison cart in the team, and the one who was tied up in the cart was none other than the escaped King of Goguryeo.
All the guards who absconded with him were killed by the Baekje people, and the prince was not spared either.
Seeing this old enemy, the King of Baekje gritted his teeth with hatred, and wanted to take his life on the spot.In the end, he was dissuaded by his subordinates and explained all kinds of pros and cons, so he barely suppressed his anger and sent someone to escort him back to Wandu City and send him to the Xianbei people.
"My king has something to say, and I would like to be a minister to your lord."
Baekje was often beaten and squeezed by Goguryeo. Before that, the king of Goguryeo had said that he would send troops to "unify the north and the south."It wasn't for the Xianbei soldiers who crossed over and captured Wandu City, Baekje might have been destroyed by this time.
This time, the prime minister of Baekje acted as an envoy, and presented the King of Goguryeo with a letter of nomination, and a letter written by the king of Baekje, willing to be a minister to Murong Xianbei and pay tribute every year.
Murong De was very moved, and Murong Chui shook his head at him, signaling not to express his opinion on the spot.
Temporarily dismissing the envoys, the two discussed in the account, the former thought that Baekje was quite interesting and could agree to it, but the latter obviously disagreed.
"My brother, Goguryeo also surrendered to the Han people, what happened?"
"Brother, are you saying that Baekje is not trustworthy?" Murong De frowned.
"Yes." Murong Chui nodded, glanced at Murong Ling and Murong Chong who were also in the tent, and said in a deep voice, "Now that we are in great power, they will naturally put on a posture of submission and are willing to pay tribute to them. Someday they will find an opportunity , will definitely raise troops to rebel."
"The Han people have a very good saying that if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different. These aliens are ignorant of etiquette and have no sense of shame. They are facing Qin, Mu and Chu, and their heads are at both ends. They cannot be trusted."
"Uncle, what do you mean, instead of keeping them as a trouble, why don't you take them down?"
Murong Chong opened his mouth suddenly, attracting Murong Ling's vague glance.
"Yes, the Phoenix Emperor is intelligent."
Murong Chui nodded with a smile, then turned to Murong De, and said: "The territory of Goguryeo is limited, you and I will have a foothold here, and we will eventually face the enemies of the Central Plains. Baekje and Silla are adjacent to each other, cutting off the southern land, there will be danger in the future, and we must not stay here." !"
The implication is that the Yan Kingdom will not perish at the hands of the Han people, but will also be destroyed by the Di people.At that time, they will become the thorn in each other's eyes, and they must get rid of them quickly.
The location of Baekje Silla is very special, with Goguryeo on one side and the sea on the other.
In Murongchui's view, whether the king of Baekje knows his face or not, he must not leave this "tail".What's more, he and Murong De joined forces for a short time, there will always be a day when power is divided, there will be more places, and friction will be reduced in the future.
Based on the comparison of the forces in their hands, it is not advisable to imitate the founding of the Central Plains. Instead, it is better to follow the ancestral system and establish a tribe to stand on its own. Instead of proclaiming the emperor, continue to be the king.
One person occupies the north, and one person occupies the south, so as to gain a firm foothold before making plans for the future.
"Okay, just do what my brother said!"
Murong De had no objection.
It's good for the other party to pay tribute, but wouldn't it be better to hold the territory and population in their hands.
Murong Chui can think of future disputes, and he will not ignore them either.It's better to have a larger territory than to fight back and forth in a square inch.
Calculating the territory and population of Baekje Silla, Murong De felt that this idea was a good idea.
With the plan established, Murong Chui ordered the King of Goguryeo to be interrogated and asked where the treasury gold was stored. Afterwards, the man was beheaded for public display, his head was hung on the top of the city, and the body was thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves.
"All beheadings of the royal family, men and women."
If they want to gain a foothold here, they must completely obey the Goguryeo people.In this way, the royal blood must not stay, and this example must be followed after the Baekje Silla is conquered.
The King of Baekje would never have thought that not long after his old opponent died, he would become the target of the Xianbei people before he had time to be happy, and disaster was imminent in a blink of an eye.
When the Xianbei army approached the city, the King of Baekje himself went up to the top of the city, and when he saw the former prime minister who had taken refuge in Murongchui, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.
However, no matter how sharp the tongue is, it can't prevent the fate of destroying the country.
"kill!"
Murong Chong took the lead and attacked the royal city first.
Baekje King City fell in the first battle, Baekje destroyed the country, and Silla quickly followed. The "Three Kingdoms" era on the peninsula ended early and became the place under the jurisdiction of Murong Xianbei.
It has to be said that Murong Chui did have foresight.
Gathering Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, the area is only the two states of the Central Plains.If the latter two are not defeated, and only Koguryo is occupied, sooner or later there will be chaos within Xianbei due to the territory.
Now that there is a new territory, it will take a long time to digest the wealth and population.
Not only Murong Chui, Murong De was also very satisfied with this result.
During the march, Murong Chong made great achievements many times, not only Murong Chui, but also Murong De looked at him differently.
Murong Ling looked at this cousin with increasingly dark eyes, especially seeing that Murong Chui's compliments did not count, which made Murong Chong lead his troops to attack Silla, and then even made Pyongyang City his fiefdom. This kind of darkness gradually became Jealousy and hatred planted the seeds of uneasiness in the future.
When Murong Xianbei annexed Goguryeo, Murong Pingzheng led his army back to the ancestral land, intending to settle down.
When Yecheng realized something was wrong, the Qin family's army had already surrounded the city.
Qin Jing handed over the rear army to Qin Yu, and led Qin Jue to command before going into battle.
Thirty military chariots lined up, with baffles on the roof, and improved battering rams.
Behind the military chariot were catapults standing side by side. With an order, the servants pulled the noose, and the ten-meter-long wooden pole shook, making a terrifying sound of breaking wind.
Huge boulders flew out of the rattan net, roaring and hitting the city wall.
Amidst the roaring sound, irregular hollows were left on the wall, the outer soil layer was cracked, and the wall skin fell off, revealing the inner wall bricks.
Some boulders fell on the top of the city, and even flew into the city, almost bringing up a rain of blood almost every time.
After five rounds of throwing, the city was full of mourning and groaning, and there were fallen corpses everywhere, like hell on earth.
"Siege!"
Yecheng lacks troops and will never go out to meet the enemy, so it can only defend the city to the death.
Beware of tribal reinforcements, Qin Jing planned to make a quick decision. He neither sent anyone to persuade him to surrender, nor did he encircle the three quarters. Instead, he let go and ordered people to attack from all sides. What kind of gentle means is playing.
"Brother," Qin Jue asked in a low voice, "won't this make the Xianbei people desperate?"
"Yes." Qin Jing sat on the horse's back, her black helmet pressed against her eyebrows, and her eyes were actually darker than the armor.
"Then why?"
"It's not just Murong Xianbei in the city."
Qin Jue frowned, still a little confused.
"Hu people are brave, this is their nature." Qin Jing said, "However, when it comes to life and death, the various ministries will not be twisted together, but will become a mess."
"Murong Xianbei founded the country and called it Yan, all the hulks in the territory were suppressed, and the same was true for the vassal tribes."
"This time our army is suppressing the border, and Murong Ping led the troops to leave. With the power of Murong Wei and Kezu Hun, they can't suppress the people in the city. When the city gate is broken, these barbarians will definitely turn their blades and enter if they want to survive. The palace, exchanged Murong Xianbei's head for his own life."
Qin Jue was still puzzled.
To him, such behavior was simply unthinkable.
"Is it strange?" Qin Jing turned to Qin Jue and said in a deep voice, "In troubled times, this is the way to survive."
"Brother, will you let them go?"
Qin Jing didn't speak, but looked at the top of the city again, her voice became deeper and deeper, "A Yan, you have to remember that you should show pity to the common people, pity to your subordinates, and never be half-kind to the enemy."
While speaking, Qin's servants approached the city gate from all sides under the cover of military chariots.
The military chariot is equipped with baffles, and the arrows at the top of the city cannot penetrate at all.
The servants who were not within the protection range raised bamboo shields and rattan shields half a person's height, connected front to back, left to right, forming a solid shield wall, which could also deflect most of the arrows without being injured in the slightest.
If Huan Rong was present, he would definitely stare at Qin Jing when he saw the scene in front of him.
The so-called use it as soon as you take it, and you don't pay a cent for the patent fee. Brother Qin, shouldn't this matter be discussed?
The military cart was pushed to the bottom of the city, the roof baffle was lifted, a foldable ladder was set up, and it quickly arrived at the top of the city.
The defenders on the city were shocked and began to smash down logs and pour hot oil.
The war has been intensified from the beginning, and casualties appear quickly.
A ladder caught fire, and the servants on the ladder couldn't dodge in time, fell from mid-air and hit the gravel, killing them instantly.
Death did not defeat the courage of the attackers, but set off a terrible fighting spirit.
The breath of fresh blood spread in the air, and the servants of the Qin family roared and rushed forward like chariots that had been turned on.
Several patriarchs took the lead to charge, and with the cover of another round of catapults, they quickly climbed to the top of the city. When they met the astonished defenders, their feet were still on the ladder, and the knives in their hands had already slashed across.
Blood rained down, and the gap opened.
The servants climbed up the ladder like a colony of ants, and climbed to the top of the city, screaming and killing.
A military chariot with a battering ram approached the city gate, and the servants inside the chariot pulled the mechanism. The huge log was driven by the rope, retreated two meters back, rushed forward, and smashed hard.
With a bang, the city gate and the city wall shook together.
Dust and gravel splashed, and the servants pulled the mechanism again, and the logs fell down non-stop, and a gap was quickly opened in the city gate, revealing large stone bricks and broken logs.
"It's blocked!"
It turned out that the defenders in the city were determined to die, and in order to block the servants of the Qin family, they piled up wood and stones behind the gate.If it wasn't for the lack of time, I'm afraid that wooden planks will be erected horizontally for reinforcement.
The servants issued a signal, and the battering ram swung again, aimed at the broken wood behind the door, and smashed it hard one after another.
If the city gate cannot be broken open, the army will not be able to enter the city, and the comrades who attack the city will be in danger.The servants made scars, and regardless of the cracked tiger's mouth, they exhausted all their strength and vowed to break open the city gate.
"Open it for me!"
A rain of arrows suddenly flew down from the top of the city, nailing aggressively on the baffle.
A servant was shot in the shoulder. He didn't seem to feel any pain. He broke off the tail of the sword that was in the way, and left the arrow on his body. He kept pulling the mechanism, his eyes were red.
Finally, with a blunt sound, the stone behind the door was smashed open, revealing a narrow gap that only allowed one person to pass through.
"continue!"
The servant wiped the sweat off his face, leaving a few clear bloodstains.The cracked tiger's mouth, the damaged palm, and then proved how much effort was used just now.
The city gate was about to be broken, and the defenders immediately blocked the gap, spears and spears pierced out together, but their effect was limited, and they couldn't resist at all.
The battering ram had already hit a sharp corner, and the front end was cracked. Every time it hit the rock pile, a lot of debris would fly out.
These pieces of wood became the life-threatening talismans of the defenders, and the few people who stood in the front were tied into hedgehogs, covered in blood, and fell to the ground wailing.
The head of the city is in a fierce battle, and so is the city gate.
Qin Jing's command was determined, and when he found a gap in the south gate, he immediately sent the rear army to press on it.
"Brother, let me go!"
Seeing Qin Xuan climbing up the ladder, Qin Jue finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Go." Qin Jing didn't stop him.
As a son of the Qin family, it is inevitable to fight the enemy in front of the battle.
After noon, the south city gate was finally opened, and the defenders behind the gate were repelled. Qin's servants poured into the city like a pack of wolves smelling blood.
The city gate was broken, and the defenders at the top of the city panicked.
Qin Yu seized the opportunity and hacked and killed several people one after another, one of whom was the general commanding at the top of the city.The bad news spread, completely throwing the defenders into chaos.
As the south gate was broken, the remaining three gates were in emergency one after another.
As Qin Jing expected, after the east gate and west gate were breached, chaos broke out in the city.The Hu people who had previously surrendered to Murong Xianbei united, attacked the palace with swords and started a fierce battle with the guards.
Ke Zuhun and Murong Wei originally planned to escape through the secret path, but something changed in the middle, the exit of the secret path was blocked, and there was no way to escape.
In the evening, with a bang, the palace gate collapsed, the barbarians rushed into the palace roaring, and the eunuchs and maidservants fled in all directions.
Seeing the hidden treasures in the palace, all the Hu people were red-eyed, and many of them forgot their previous purpose and rushed towards the wide-open treasure house.
The defenders of the four cities were beheaded one after another, and the defenders who resisted were not spared either.
When the army entered the city, the former Xianbei nobles were reduced to captives.Some were really unlucky, and before they were captured by servants, they became the souls of house servants and sheep slaves.
Miyagi suddenly caught fire, and with the sudden gust of wind, it quickly spread to the entire city.
"Has Murong Wei been caught?"
"Back to my lord, not yet!" Buqu replied, "The fire started in the palace, and the palace is in chaos, full of barbarians, it's really hard to find someone."
Qin Jing rode his horse and reined in. Seeing that the fire was spreading rapidly, he ordered the army to give up looking for people and leave the city immediately.
"Lang Jun, don't you want to put out the fire?"
"Do not save." Qin Jing said, "Surround the four city gates and capture all those who fled. Those who do not follow will be killed."
"promise!"
The servants rushed to send orders, and the army quickly withdrew from the city.
The fire in the city spread rapidly, and then engulfed the entire royal city, like a scarlet dragon soaring in the dark night, roaring terrifyingly.
In August of the fifth year of Taihe, Ye, the capital of Yan State, was captured by Wubao of the Qin family. All the defenders in the city died in battle, and many noble officials of Xianbei were captured.The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun's family died in the chaos, and the Lord Yan disappeared. It is said that he died in a fire in the palace, but because the body could not be identified, it became a mystery for later generations.
At this point, Murong Xianbei went south to the Central Plains, established the country for more than [-] years, had a glorious moment, but still could not escape being crushed by the wheel of history, and finally turned into a shooting star in a troubled world, flourishing and declining until it fell and died.
There were ten to seven middle-aged men in the city, and those who survived by chance were arrested as sheep slaves, and put their hands behind their backs into a makeshift sheepfold, where they were guarded like animals.
Women and children were held separately.
All boys who are taller than the wheel are picked out and tied into the sheepfold with the middle-aged men. They only have half a piece of steamed cake and a bowl of cold water every day.
Let's be honest, dishonesty will definitely attract a whip.
Kumoxi was the one who guarded them, and he had a deep hatred with the Goguryeo people. He seized the opportunity and would never stop until they were beaten to pieces.
In the eyes of Jin people, the Hu people occupying the north are barbarians who don't know Chinese etiquette.In the eyes of the Xianbei people who have occupied the Central Plains for many years, these people who make up Goguryeo, Fuyu, and ancient Koreans are even more "people outside the culture".
Xianbei people admired Han culture and looked down on Goguryeo extremely.
In the early years, the king of Goguryeo was dishonest and intended to lead troops to invade the west, taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains to steal the counties and counties set up by the Han Dynasty in the northeast.Cao Wei once sent troops to break through Wandu, forcing the then king of Dongchuan to abandon the city and flee.
After that, Cao Wei was replaced by Jin, and the Jin family moved south due to the Eight Kings Rebellion and Yongjia Rebellion. Goguryeo took the opportunity to move back to the old capital and revived.

It's a pity that if people are unlucky, they will get stuffed between their teeth when they drink water.
In less than 30 years, Murong Xianbei once again invaded the country.
This time Lord Yan didn't come, but his old rival Murong Chui and the equally fierce Murong De came.To make matters worse, the purpose of the Xianbei people was not to break through the city and leave in one go, but to push houses to occupy land and take the opportunity to stand on their own.
The Goguryeo people do have tough bones, and they will never retreat on the battlefield.
However, the opponent was too strong, and Kumoxi, who was familiar with the local area, led the way. He was quickly defeated and defeated, with more than half of the casualties.
Murong Xianbei invaded the city, and King Goguryeo abandoned the city and fled again.Except for the elder son, the princess and beauties were all left behind, and more than a dozen children were also left behind, one counted as one, and all became captives of the Xianbei people.
Murong Chong rushed into the palace first, and when he saw the trembling royal family hugging each other, he didn't feel any pity.

Murong Chong opened his mouth suddenly, attracting Murong Ling's vague glance.

Murong Chui nodded with a smile, then turned to Murong De, and said: "The territory of Goguryeo is limited, you and I will have a foothold here, and we will eventually face the enemies of the Central Plains. Baekje and Silla are adjacent to each other, cutting off the southern land, there will be danger in the future, and we must not stay here." !"
The implication is that the Yan Kingdom will not perish at the hands of the Han people, but will also be destroyed by the Di people.At that time, they will become the thorn in each other's eyes, and they must get rid of them quickly.
The location of Baekje Silla is very special, with Goguryeo on one side and the sea on the other.
In Murongchui's view, whether the king of Baekje knows his face or not, he must not leave this "tail".What's more, he and Murong De joined forces for a short time, there will always be a day when power is divided, there will be more places, and friction will be reduced in the future.
Based on the comparison of the forces in their hands, it is not advisable to imitate the founding of the Central Plains. Instead, it is better to follow the ancestral system and establish a tribe to stand on its own. Instead of proclaiming the emperor, continue to be the king.
One person occupies the north, and one person occupies the south, so as to gain a firm foothold before making plans for the future.
"Okay, just do what my brother said!"
Murong De had no objection.
It's good for the other party to pay tribute, but wouldn't it be better to hold the territory and population in their hands.
Murong Chui can think of future disputes, and he will not ignore them either.It's better to have a larger territory than to fight back and forth in a square inch.
Calculating the territory and population of Baekje Silla, Murong De felt that this idea was a good idea.
With the plan established, Murong Chui ordered the King of Goguryeo to be interrogated and asked where the treasury gold was stored. Afterwards, the man was beheaded for public display, his head was hung on the top of the city, and the body was thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves.
"All beheadings of the royal family, men and women."
If they want to gain a foothold here, they must completely obey the Goguryeo people.In this way, the royal blood must not stay, and this example must be followed after the Baekje Silla is conquered.
The King of Baekje would never have thought that not long after his old opponent died, he would become the target of the Xianbei people before he had time to be happy, and disaster was imminent in a blink of an eye.
When the Xianbei army approached the city, the King of Baekje himself went up to the top of the city, and when he saw the former prime minister who had taken refuge in Murongchui, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.
However, no matter how sharp the tongue is, it can't prevent the fate of destroying the country.
"kill!"
Murong Chong took the lead and attacked the royal city first.
Baekje King City fell in the first battle, Baekje destroyed the country, and Silla quickly followed. The "Three Kingdoms" era on the peninsula ended early and became the place under the jurisdiction of Murong Xianbei.
It has to be said that Murong Chui did have foresight.
Gathering Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, the area is only the two states of the Central Plains.If the latter two are not defeated, and only Koguryo is occupied, sooner or later there will be chaos within Xianbei due to the territory.
Now that there is a new territory, it will take a long time to digest the wealth and population.
Not only Murong Chui, Murong De was also very satisfied with this result.
During the march, Murong Chong made great achievements many times, not only Murong Chui, but also Murong De looked at him differently.
Murong Ling looked at this cousin with increasingly dark eyes, especially seeing that Murong Chui's compliments did not count, which made Murong Chong lead his troops to attack Silla, and then even made Pyongyang City his fiefdom. This kind of darkness gradually became Jealousy and hatred planted the seeds of uneasiness in the future.
When Murong Xianbei annexed Goguryeo, Murong Pingzheng led his army back to the ancestral land, intending to settle down.
When Yecheng realized something was wrong, the Qin family's army had already surrounded the city.
Qin Jing handed over the rear army to Qin Yu, and led Qin Jue to command before going into battle.
Thirty military chariots lined up, with baffles on the roof, and improved battering rams.
Behind the military chariot were catapults standing side by side. With an order, the servants pulled the noose, and the ten-meter-long wooden pole shook, making a terrifying sound of breaking wind.
Huge boulders flew out of the rattan net, roaring and hitting the city wall.
Amidst the roaring sound, irregular hollows were left on the wall, the outer soil layer was cracked, and the wall skin fell off, revealing the inner wall bricks.
Some boulders fell on the top of the city, and even flew into the city, almost bringing up a rain of blood almost every time.
After five rounds of throwing, the city was full of mourning and groaning, and there were fallen corpses everywhere, like hell on earth.
"Siege!"
Yecheng lacks troops and will never go out to meet the enemy, so it can only defend the city to the death.
Beware of tribal reinforcements, Qin Jing planned to make a quick decision. He neither sent anyone to persuade him to surrender, nor did he encircle the three quarters. Instead, he let go and ordered people to attack from all sides. What kind of gentle means is playing.
"Brother," Qin Jue asked in a low voice, "won't this make the Xianbei people desperate?"
"Yes." Qin Jing sat on the horse's back, her black helmet pressed against her eyebrows, and her eyes were actually darker than the armor.
"Then why?"
"It's not just Murong Xianbei in the city."
Qin Jue frowned, still a little confused.
"Hu people are brave, this is their nature." Qin Jing said, "However, when it comes to life and death, the various ministries will not be twisted together, but will become a mess."
"Murong Xianbei founded the country and called it Yan, all the hulks in the territory were suppressed, and the same was true for the vassal tribes."
"This time our army is suppressing the border, and Murong Ping led the troops to leave. With the power of Murong Wei and Kezu Hun, they can't suppress the people in the city. When the city gate is broken, these barbarians will definitely turn their blades and enter if they want to survive. The palace, exchanged Murong Xianbei's head for his own life."
Qin Jue was still puzzled.
To him, such behavior was simply unthinkable.
"Is it strange?" Qin Jing turned to Qin Jue and said in a deep voice, "In troubled times, this is the way to survive."
"Brother, will you let them go?"
Qin Jing didn't speak, but looked at the top of the city again, her voice became deeper and deeper, "A Yan, you have to remember that you should show pity to the common people, pity to your subordinates, and never be half-kind to the enemy."
While speaking, Qin's servants approached the city gate from all sides under the cover of military chariots.
The military chariot is equipped with baffles, and the arrows at the top of the city cannot penetrate at all.
The servants who were not within the protection range raised bamboo shields and rattan shields half a person's height, connected front to back, left to right, forming a solid shield wall, which could also deflect most of the arrows without being injured in the slightest.
If Huan Rong was present, he would definitely stare at Qin Jing when he saw the scene in front of him.
The so-called use it as soon as you take it, and you don't pay a cent for the patent fee. Brother Qin, shouldn't this matter be discussed?
The military cart was pushed to the bottom of the city, the roof baffle was lifted, a foldable ladder was set up, and it quickly arrived at the top of the city.
The defenders on the city were shocked and began to smash down logs and pour hot oil.
The war has been intensified from the beginning, and casualties appear quickly.
A ladder caught fire, and the servants on the ladder couldn't dodge in time, fell from mid-air and hit the gravel, killing them instantly.
Death did not defeat the courage of the attackers, but set off a terrible fighting spirit.
The breath of fresh blood spread in the air, and the servants of the Qin family roared and rushed forward like chariots that had been turned on.
Several patriarchs took the lead to charge, and with the cover of another round of catapults, they quickly climbed to the top of the city. When they met the astonished defenders, their feet were still on the ladder, and the knives in their hands had already slashed across.
Blood rained down, and the gap opened.
The servants climbed up the ladder like a colony of ants, and climbed to the top of the city, screaming and killing.
A military chariot with a battering ram approached the city gate, and the servants inside the chariot pulled the mechanism. The huge log was driven by the rope, retreated two meters back, rushed forward, and smashed hard.
With a bang, the city gate and the city wall shook together.
Dust and gravel splashed, and the servants pulled the mechanism again, and the logs fell down non-stop, and a gap was quickly opened in the city gate, revealing large stone bricks and broken logs.
"It's blocked!"
It turned out that the defenders in the city were determined to die, and in order to block the servants of the Qin family, they piled up wood and stones behind the gate.If it wasn't for the lack of time, I'm afraid that wooden planks will be erected horizontally for reinforcement.
The servants issued a signal, and the battering ram swung again, aimed at the broken wood behind the door, and smashed it hard one after another.
If the city gate cannot be broken open, the army will not be able to enter the city, and the comrades who attack the city will be in danger.The servants made scars, and regardless of the cracked tiger's mouth, they exhausted all their strength and vowed to break open the city gate.
"Open it for me!"
A rain of arrows suddenly flew down from the top of the city, nailing aggressively on the baffle.
A servant was shot in the shoulder. He didn't seem to feel any pain. He broke off the tail of the sword that was in the way, and left the arrow on his body. He kept pulling the mechanism, his eyes were red.
Finally, with a blunt sound, the stone behind the door was smashed open, revealing a narrow gap that only allowed one person to pass through.
"continue!"
The servant wiped the sweat off his face, leaving a few clear bloodstains.The cracked tiger's mouth, the damaged palm, and then proved how much effort was used just now.
The city gate was about to be broken, and the defenders immediately blocked the gap, spears and spears pierced out together, but their effect was limited, and they couldn't resist at all.
The battering ram had already hit a sharp corner, and the front end was cracked. Every time it hit the rock pile, a lot of debris would fly out.
These pieces of wood became the life-threatening talismans of the defenders, and the few people who stood in the front were tied into hedgehogs, covered in blood, and fell to the ground wailing.
The head of the city is in a fierce battle, and so is the city gate.
Qin Jing's command was determined, and when he found a gap in the south gate, he immediately sent the rear army to press on it.
"Brother, let me go!"
Seeing Qin Xuan climbing up the ladder, Qin Jue finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Go." Qin Jing didn't stop him.
As a son of the Qin family, it is inevitable to fight the enemy in front of the battle.
After noon, the south city gate was finally opened, and the defenders behind the gate were repelled. Qin's servants poured into the city like a pack of wolves smelling blood.
The city gate was broken, and the defenders at the top of the city panicked.
Qin Yu seized the opportunity and hacked and killed several people one after another, one of whom was the general commanding at the top of the city.The bad news spread, completely throwing the defenders into chaos.
As the south gate was broken, the remaining three gates were in emergency one after another.
As Qin Jing expected, after the east gate and west gate were breached, chaos broke out in the city.The Hu people who had previously surrendered to Murong Xianbei united, attacked the palace with swords and started a fierce battle with the guards.
Ke Zuhun and Murong Wei originally planned to escape through the secret path, but something changed in the middle, the exit of the secret path was blocked, and there was no way to escape.
In the evening, with a bang, the palace gate collapsed, the barbarians rushed into the palace roaring, and the eunuchs and maidservants fled in all directions.
Seeing the hidden treasures in the palace, all the Hu people were red-eyed, and many of them forgot their previous purpose and rushed towards the wide-open treasure house.
The defenders of the four cities were beheaded one after another, and the defenders who resisted were not spared either.
When the army entered the city, the former Xianbei nobles were reduced to captives.Some were really unlucky, and before they were captured by servants, they became the souls of house servants and sheep slaves.
Miyagi suddenly caught fire, and with the sudden gust of wind, it quickly spread to the entire city.
"Has Murong Wei been caught?"
"Back to my lord, not yet!" Buqu replied, "The fire started in the palace, and the palace is in chaos, full of barbarians, it's really hard to find someone."
Qin Jing rode his horse and reined in. Seeing that the fire was spreading rapidly, he ordered the army to give up looking for people and leave the city immediately.
"Lang Jun, don't you want to put out the fire?"
"Do not save." Qin Jing said, "Surround the four city gates and capture all those who fled. Those who do not follow will be killed."
"promise!"
The servants rushed to send orders, and the army quickly withdrew from the city.
The fire in the city spread rapidly, and then engulfed the entire royal city, like a scarlet dragon soaring in the dark night, roaring terrifyingly.
In August of the fifth year of Taihe, Ye, the capital of Yan State, was captured by Wubao of the Qin family. All the defenders in the city died in battle, and many noble officials of Xianbei were captured.The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun's family died in the chaos, and the Lord Yan disappeared. It is said that he died in a fire in the palace, but because the body could not be identified, it became a mystery for later generations.
At this point, Murong Xianbei went south to the Central Plains, established the country for more than [-] years, had a glorious moment, but still could not escape being crushed by the wheel of history, and finally turned into a shooting star in a troubled world, flourishing and declining until it fell and died.
