Huan Rong

In Wandu City, Xianbei soldiers came out everywhere, under the order of Murong Chui, to search for Murong Chong.At the same time, upon receiving the news of Duan Qing's death, the Duan clan was furious.

Murong Chong's mother, the Kezuhun clan, killed Concubine Duan, and she and the Duan clan had long been enemies.If it wasn't for Murong Chui's protection, the Duan family would have secretly killed him long ago.Now, Murong Chong killed Duan Qing again.Even if it was Murong Chui's face, Duan didn't intend to give it any more.

What's more, [-]% of Murong Chui's military salary comes from the Duan family.

In normal times, if Duan insisted on killing Murong Chong, things would drag on for a while.Now, the Qin Clan sent troops to conquer, and soon the troops will come to the city. At this juncture, although Murong Chong is good at fighting, his importance is far less than that of the Duan Clan.

"If you want to kill him, you don't need to find any excuses, let alone my son." Patriarch Duan sneered, "If the charge of cowardice and escape is suppressed, no matter how King Wu defends him, my slave will undoubtedly die!"

Hearing this, the second son of the Patriarch of the Duan Clan, Duan Qing's compatriot brother Duan Yan frowned on the spot, worried: "The Qin Clan's army is approaching, it may not be a good thing to have a rift with King Wu at this time."

"What do you know!" Patriarch Duan suddenly put down the lacquer lamp, and said angrily, "It is because the Qin army is approaching that we have to do it as soon as possible! After this battle, it will be so easy to get rid of Murong Chong!"

Duan Yan was tongue-tied, as if he didn't expect his father to say this.

He wanted to remind his father that the Qin army was coming fiercely, and it was hard to say whether the battle would be won or lost. Instead of being entangled in Murong Chong's matter, it was better to make arrangements for the family as soon as possible.

If the King of Wu wins, the Duan family will still be stable; if the battle is not won, the city of Wandu will be destroyed, and it is absolutely necessary to find a way out for the family in advance.

how...

Duan Yan sighed and shook his head.

If my uncle is still alive, he will definitely see the danger of this battle, and will never let his father mess around and put the Duan family in danger.

He knew that there was something strange about Duan Qing's matter, how tightly guarded Murong Ling's mansion was, and Duan Qing was not a military general, and he was in the chamber, so why did others not kill him, but had to struggle through the front yard, circle around and cut him off Killed by the knife?

Murong Chong is definitely not stupid.

In the year of Waifu, he was rarely known for his bravery when he fought on the battlefield. Yecheng was destroyed, and he followed Murongchui to Goguryeo to the north.After that, he led his people to the south and arrived in Youzhou, where he made business with the governor of Youzhou at that time and now the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and bought armor and weapons.

How could such a person make such a stupid mistake?

Duan Yan couldn't figure it out.

Guessing a certain possibility immediately made him feel cold all over.

If the matter was really planned by my father and my brother to plot against Murong Chong with his elder brother's life, no matter whether he wins or not, after King Wu, Murong Xianbei in the land of the Three Hans will sooner or later die.

His heart was like boiling water, Duan Yan's expression was tense, he let the head of the Duan family scold him sharply, he kept clenching his teeth and did not say a word.Wait until the other party's voice pauses, and leave immediately.

So what about father and son?

For the Duan clan, those who should be given up must be given up!

Patriarch Duan thought that Duan Yan had repented, so he bowed his head and remained silent.As everyone knows, the latter is thinking in his heart how to leave Wandu City before the war, take his wife and children out of danger, and save a chance for the Duan family.

There was an uproar in Wandu City, apart from the soldiers sent by Murongchui, Duan's guards and private soldiers almost all came out to catch Murongchong.

At the gate of the city, vehicles and personnel passing by are strictly checked, especially large carts and cages that can hide people. It is necessary to check one by one to ensure that there are no omissions.

A Xianbei caravan passed by the city gate, all the boxes and cages on the car were opened, and the medicinal materials and a few sundries loaded were turned upside down.Some soldiers didn't want to search hard, so they raised their spears and stabbed randomly in the box, which injured a lot of medicinal materials.

The guards in the caravan glared and were stopped by the caravan leader on the spot.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

In order to leave safely, no matter how much the caravan leader cared about the medicinal materials, he would not argue with the soldiers. He even sent a silk bag with a smile on his face, and the team just left the city safely.

"Lord, these Xianbei soldiers are deceiving!"

"Stop talking too much, leave quickly!"

Out of the sight of the soldiers, the leader of the caravan did not let anyone count the goods, so he immediately raised his whip and drove the cart forward quickly.It wasn't until a few kilometers away from the city that the tense expression relaxed a little, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Traveling to a dense forest, Wandu City was nowhere to be seen. The leader of the caravan grabbed the reins and jumped off the carriage.

"Take people to look around, and immediately warn the strangers!"

"promise!"

The guards and health servants got out of the car one after another, and spread out in all directions, beware of passers-by.

After confirming that there was no danger and there were no traces of Xianbei soldiers behind him, the caravan leader walked to the side of the carriage, bent down and knocked on the wheel.

After three strokes, a fender fell from the bottom of the car.

The leader of the caravan stepped back half a step, and after a slight noise, Murong Chong came out from under the car.

He looked a little embarrassed, and there were still bloodstains on the lapel.His facial features are still handsome, but he is no longer indistinguishable from male and female when he was young, and he has a bit more youthful fortitude, and now he has a biting murderous aura.

"Your Highness, this place is at least twenty miles away from Wandu City." The leader of the caravan opened the water bag, drank it himself, and then handed it to Murong Chong.

"Thank you." Murong Chong took the water bag and filled it with his head raised.Water trickled down the corner of his mouth and soon soaked his front.

Being framed by Murong Ling and getting a secret report, knowing that the Duan family and Murong Ling joined forces, they would not hesitate to sacrifice Duan Qing to kill themselves.In a haste, Murong Chong escaped from Wandu with a caravan, with only a few triads by his side, and the rest each found a way to get out of the city, and agreed to meet at the border of Shiwei.

"Your Highness, I have not much gold and silver left when I go to Wandu medicine this time."

The caravan leader took out a silk bag, which contained thinly sliced ​​gold.He took out a small bag of pearls from his bosom, the fineness is not as good as Hepu pearls, and they can still be sold at a high price in the Northland.

"The servant only has these. In addition, there are prepared wound medicines and pills in the car, and His Highness can take them with you. After passing Shiwei safely, even if the news leaks, there is no need to worry about chasing soldiers."

"Thank you very much this time." Murong Chong held the silk bag tightly and said seriously, "If you get through this calamity safely, you will be rewarded in the future!"

The leader of the caravan shook his head and said with a smile: "It wasn't His Highness who came to the rescue that day. Both the servant and his wife were about to die at the hands of the Goguryeo people. It is all due to His Highness's kindness to survive and accumulate this family fortune. Quan Xiangbao, why dare to ask for anything else!"

While the two were talking, the parts hidden under the car appeared one after another.

The leader of the caravan ordered the servants to untie the reins and fasten the prepared dry food and water bags to the horse's back.

"Your Highness, I hope you will have a safe journey here."

Murong Chong nodded, untied a piece of jade from his body, drew his sword and cut it into two pieces.A section was handed over to the leader of the caravan, and said: "If you can't die, you can bring this jade to look for it. As long as you can, you will go through fire and water!"

The leader of the caravan held the jade pendant tightly and bowed deeply.

Murong Chong jumped on his horse, let out a whoosh, the trilogy immediately gathered together, and galloped away according to the predetermined direction.

The leader of the caravan straightened up and did not set off in a hurry, but ordered his loyal servants to take out bacon and steamed cakes and distribute them to everyone, saying that he would go on the road after eating.The health servant, not knowing the inside story, grabbed the steamed cake and bacon and munched.

But during the cup of tea, everyone foamed at the mouth one after another, fell to the ground and twitched, lost their breath for a while, and died on the ground with distorted expressions.

Before dying, a guard glared at the leader of the caravan and said angrily, "Why did you harm me?!"

The leader of the caravan looked at him and sighed: "The dead will not reveal the secret."

The fewer people who know about today's events, the better.Not only for Murong Chong, but also for himself.

When the guards and servants were exhausted, the leader of the caravan took his loyal servants and broke up the cart, causing the medicinal materials to scatter all over the place.A few more stab wounds were made to the bodyguards and health servants, and soon the smell of blood filled the air.

The faithful servant stood at the edge of the forest, folded his hands, imitating the howling of a wolf.Not long after, the howling of wild animals sounded in the forest, and the figure of the wild wolf was looming.

After arranging everything, the leader of the caravan jumped on his horse and drove away with two loyal servants.

Flocks of crows appeared in the sky above the dense forest, and their crows were hoarse and shrill.

In March of the first year of Taiyuan, Murong Chong was framed by Murong Ling and the Duan family and was forced to flee from Wandu.

Some parts failed to get out of the city, and under heavy punishment, they confessed to the meeting place.The Duan family sent people to attack and kill, but there was no trace of Murong Chong.

It turned out that the rendezvous at the Shiwei border was just a cover, and the reason why Buqu stayed in the city was to confuse the pursuers and try to buy time for themselves.

As early as halfway, Murong Chong ordered to change the route, skipping Shiwei and Kumoxi, and went straight north to Buyeo.

"Qin soldiers are approaching soon, and merchant ships from the South will not go to Sanhan at this juncture."

When it was dark and resting, Murong Chong said to his confidant, "Since last year, merchant ships from Youzhou have been going to Fuyu and Wuji. The day of resurrection!"

Murong Ling and the Duan family had better pray to die in the hands of the Qin family, if not, in the future, he will take revenge and tear them into pieces!

"Your Highness, Fuyu's power is declining, I'm afraid..."

"Because of the small situation, there is a place for us to stand." Murong Chong broke off a dead branch and threw it into the fire at will, "The ministers of Fuyu Kingdom all want to be safe, but King Fuyu has a lot of ambitions. Before Di Qin was so powerful that he even privately stated that he wanted to emulate Fu Jian."

Speaking of this, Murong Chong's face showed sarcasm, half of his face was illuminated by the flames, and half of his face was hidden in darkness, showing a bit strange inexplicably.

"Although I am no better than my uncle, I always have a reputation for being good at fighting. Today, when I go to vote, King Fuyu will not walk backwards to meet him, nor will he be swept away in person."

"If he sends someone to send a letter to Marudu, wouldn't His Highness be in danger?" A trilogy worried, "It's better to go west and return to the ancestral land, or go to Mobei."

Murong Chong shook his head.

"Marutu Castle can't be defended."

"what?!"

"No matter how strong my uncle is, I can't hold back too many people. When Duan De was alive, the Duan Clan could help Uncle. After Duan De died, Duan Fang became the Patriarch of the Duan Clan. He was so foolish that he sacrificed Duan Qing to help Murong Ling get things done."

Murong Chong stared at the fire, his expression getting colder and colder.

"With such a person by his side, even an uncle can't stop the Qin clan's tens of thousands of armored soldiers. Not to mention that Qin Xuanmin's reputation for fighting is no less than that of his uncle, and even surpassed his uncle's back then."

The city of Wandu will be destroyed, so there is no need to say anything.

"But Your Highness, the four sons of Qin Ce are not leading the army this time."

"There's no difference." Murong Chong casually grabbed a dead branch, "The Qin family established Chang'an as their capital, established the system and proclaimed themselves emperor, and sooner or later there will be a war with the south. As a person like Qin Ce, before that, he would never leave anything on the border." Hidden danger."

It was Rouran before, but now it is Sanhan.

"The three sons of the Qin family are leading the army. If Wandu cannot be conquered, Qin Xuanmin will definitely be ordered to send troops. You all know what his cavalry are like. When they are released from the cage, the city of Wandu will be razed to the ground. "

Everyone fell silent, thinking of Qin Jing's [-] cavalry, their faces changed slightly.

Murong Chong stretched his long legs, thinking of Murong Ling and Duan's scheme, he suddenly found it funny.Although this move hurt him, it also indirectly saved him.

Without this good show, he might not be able to make up his mind to leave.

Going to Fuyu now, I will not set foot in the Central Plains again for several years.It would be impossible for him to fight that new emperor over there, and to avenge his shame.

Murong Chong pressed on his shoulder, the wound has already healed, but the scar left will never disappear.Every time I think of this, I inevitably grit my teeth.Especially the kick behind him is still fresh in my memory.

however……

Murong Chong threw away the dead branches and looked up at the night sky.

This memory that he hated was always particularly vivid, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

Perhaps, it was this past that made him remember that Murong Xianbei once dominated the six states of the Central Plains, and he was once the king of Zhongshan.

Now, everything is a mirror image.

He should have understood that the day he went north to Goguryeo with his uncle, the gate of the Central Plains had been closed to him.

"Your Highness?"

"Nothing." Murong remained impulsive and did not move, "Take turns to rest, and leave at dawn."

"promise!"

Bu Qu took the lead and went down to arrange a few people to guard the bonfire in turn.Murong Chong stood up, looked at the night sky, slapped the sawdust off his hands, and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword.

If you can't go south, why not go north.

Fuyu Kingdom is now in decline, but in the early years it was also strong and prosperous, and its territory once reached more than two thousand li.He took refuge in Fuyu King, not only for temporary security, but also for a comeback.

Buyeo does not have gold and silver but has population.

As long as he can use it and cultivate his own power, he will eventually have a place in the grassland and desert.

However, the premise is that enough weapons and leather armor can be obtained.

As for food, grass and salary, Murong Chong was not in a hurry.Some people have knives and guns, and they can grab them by stepping on a horse.There is no oil and water on the grassland, so we can continue westward.Anyway, I don't plan to go back to the Central Plains, and there is nothing wrong with imitating the lifestyle of my ancestors.

With a single thought, Murong Chong suddenly became enlightened.

All of this has a premise, whether the merchant ships from the south will come to Buyeo again, and whether the emperor in the south will agree to give him weapons again.

"It's time to plan."

Murong Chong murmured, guessing Huan Rong's reaction, and decided to go north to Fuyu as soon as possible, and contact Youzhou Merchant Shipping immediately after he settled down.

History has changed again.

Following Rouran, who was expelled by Qin Jing, Murong Chong's fate changed, and he became another mountain that fell on the heads of Europeans after the Xiongnu and Rouran.

As for how he ran from the east to the west, how he burned, killed and looted all the way, and wiped out the regimes of several small countries, there are no detailed records in the history books.

The only detailed record left is that this army, mainly composed of Donghu people, joined hands with the Rouran tribe and has been active in the European continent for more than half a century.

As for why he didn't point the whip at East Asia and West Asia, it was all because Huan Rong's territory was there, and the troops stationed there were too strong. Once they met face to face, they never wanted to face each other twice, unless their heads got wet.

There is a saying in later generations that this East Hu cavalry marched westward, just like the Xiongnu's westward migration, they were completely forced by the Han army.In addition, there were tiger and wolf masters in the Monan Grassland, forcing them to pick and choose soft persimmons, which eventually led to an extremely dark European Middle Ages.

And the source of all this is the founding emperor of Huan Han!

Huan Rong didn't know about this.Even if he knew, he would be speechless on the spot.Anything can be brought to his head, is there any reason for this?

To put it bluntly, when he was a prehistoric beast, he could set off a violent storm by flapping his wings?
