I'm not Murong Chong

Xie Xuan's words were decisive and there was no turning back. Liu Jianzhi didn't dare to say more, and retreated in shame.

After a long time, there were still three or five young generals who refused to leave standing in front of Xie Xuan, and the leader was Liu Yu who joined the army.

But he bowed and clasped his fists and said: "The last general is willing to follow the governor!"

Xie Xuan's expression moved slightly: "Do you know that this is equivalent to resisting the decree?"

"At most, it's nothing more than deprivation of official positions and relegation to the common people!" Liu Yu said firmly, "We were born in the Han clan. If we hadn't been promoted by the governor, we are still people in the market. How can we serve the country and become a leader? The grace of the governor is to be smashed to pieces It’s hard to tell just in case, not to mention that now that we are participating in the war in private, we have nothing to do with the country’s affairs, let alone Gu Lei, at worst, we will have a good time and start all over again!”

Xie Xuan leaned over, patted him on the shoulder, looked at the resolute young man in front of him for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay. Then Xie will accept your favor!" Although he admired Liu Yu in the past, he always avoided him. He has a deep conspiracy to hide evil, and he may be difficult to rule in the future. Therefore, when he went to the west, he would rather leapfrog to promote Zhu Lingshi, who is not as good as Liu Yu in talent and title, as the leader, and dare not easily recommend Liu Yu as a general and let him show off. Fist and kick, soaring into the sky.Now it seems that he may have the city, but he has not lost the heart of a child and the meaning of gratitude.

Liu Yu looked up at Xie Xuan, with just the right amount of loyalty and perseverance on his face, but he thought clearly in his heart: Although he secretly expressed his gratitude to Liu Laozhi, he never really wanted to turn to virtue and prestige after this point. Liu Laozhi, whose family background was far inferior to that of Xie Xuan, took refuge in him—in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Xuan was like a living monument. As long as he was in command, the entire Beifu army, including Liu Laozhi himself, never thought of changing his family one day.But now that Liu Laozhi is greedy for meritorious service, he is encouraged to really "ask for an order" and "temporarily replace" the position of the commander-in-chief of the Beifu. The number of people Xie Xuan can mobilize will drop sharply. Naturally, he hoped that there would be as many soldiers and horses staying here as possible, and he undoubtedly solved his urgent need-giving charcoal in the snow is always more grateful than icing on the cake.As for the consequences, he was even more thorough: as long as Xie Xuan did not step down as the governor, Sima Yuanxian would not be able to really uproot him, and Xie Xuan is such a person who values ​​righteousness and trust, and he will definitely protect him as well. Come down, not only that, but he will be greatly promoted as a confidant in the future, even if he is replaced by Liu Laozhi in the future, it will not be difficult.

However, having said that, the Longcheng Guard led by Murong Nong is by no means a kind person. Previously, the Beifu army fought hard with one heart and one mind, but now they have withdrawn more than half of their troops. It is conceivable that the battle situation is extremely difficult.

However, in the middle of winter, the situation suddenly changed—the Houyan army suddenly began to withdraw.Xie Xuanyou was afraid that it was a fraud, he climbed up and looked far, observed for a long time, and finally said decisively: "The Hou Yan army relaxed and retreated without collapsing, obviously they had to retreat in order to support the main force behind - it seems that Murong Chui's There has been a change in the Chinese army! Send the order, and our army will leave the pass to pursue and attack the eldest son!"

Murong Nongman imagined that he was heavily guarded, and the exhausted Eastern Jin army would not dare to attack lightly. However, he never expected that Xie Xuan, who had always used troops calmly, would uncharacteristically and riskyly attack with the whole army!

The two sides met on the way, and a fierce battle broke out. The west side of Murong Nong's army was blocked again, and Xie Xuan defeated him in one fell swoop, and the rest fled in all directions.

Xie Xuan marched into Luchuan, Chen Bing's eldest son, only to find that the eldest son was already fighting in a group on the outskirts, and the army that had just divided up to help was Xiyan's army that came to King Qin.

Xie Xuan rectified his soldiers and horses, spread out his formation, and looked into the distance, he saw a large banner raised high by the Xiyan army, which was fighting with Houyan's main force, with a golden word "Yong" embroidered on it like splashed ink.

It really was Murong Yong.Thinking back to the first time when the two met in the past, swords, lights, swords and shadows, they confronted each other and planned to fight. Raising his hands, he said word by word: "All members of the Beifu army join the battle——jointly attack Murongchui!"

Murong Chui, the Xianbei God of War, failed to write his military myth once again. Under the fierce attack from both sides, he did not even make a decent counterattack—after several hours of fighting, the Houyan army that had surrounded the eldest son for nearly three months The tide started a big retreat—different from Murong Nong's organized retreat before, it was almost like fleeing for his life in a hurry due to sudden upheaval.

Something serious must have happened to Murong Chui, so much so that he couldn't even command in front of the battle to stabilize the situation. If he sent troops to pursue and encircle and suppress Murong Chui with all his might, and then wiped out Murong Chui in one fell swoop and then took advantage of the victory to take Yecheng, the big event would be settled.Xie Xuan could see this point, and Murong Yong, who had experienced many battles, must have also seen it, but they did not continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle. Just as he was about to dispatch troops to fight back, he also received news that Houyan's [-] troops had suffered a disastrous defeat at Canhebei.

From the prince down, the Houyan army killed more than [-] people!

The [-] captives who had disarmed were all murdered!

Murong Bao and Murong Lin fled back to Zhongshan alone!

The founding emperor of Houyan looked up to the sky and wailed, vomited a stream of blood, and then fell to the ground amidst the exclamation of the crowd. He was unconscious until now. They had no choice but to flee all the way north, protecting Murong Chui and returning to Zhongshan.

Both Murong Yong and Xie Xuan didn't know about this matter at that time, so they never pursued it—maybe it was also because the person who was trapped in the city and suffered a lot was worse than the defeated Murong Chui. They are frightened and worried.So after clearing out the remnants of the eldest son's rogues in the outskirts, the two gathered their soldiers and horses together and gathered outside the city.

After days of melee, it was already night when the overall situation was initially determined.Surrounded by open flames, General Murong Yong of Xiyan immediately bowed his hands to Xie Xuanyao, and said loudly: "Thank you, Commander Gao Yi." Abandoning the fierce attack, Murong Chui had no choice but to send his son Murong Nong to divide his troops to resist and delay the time. It is afraid that a mere eldest son city has already been breached.

Xie Xuan silently raised his hand to wipe away the scab on his cheek, and the cold iron armor pierced him with pain—if he paid so much, he thanked him in return.

But what else?They are the family that is bound by flesh and blood until death, and he is just a general of the enemy country who is a friend today and an enemy tomorrow-and can never be his only one.

The high mountains and flowing waters and Boya Ziqi are already the best connection between each other, the rest are all vain and extravagant wishes.

He regained his senses, suppressed the wry smile on his lips, raised his hand in return, and then ordered the whole army to turn around.

Murong Yong felt slightly surprised, rode his horse forward for a few steps, and said in amazement: "The governor will not follow me into the city? My emperor will definitely want to thank the governor in person." You have worked so hard to resist the decree just to save him. But don't want to see him again?

"The battle in Luoyang has not stopped, and this commander is still going to serve in the front of the army, so I ask the general to tell you in the face of the saint—" Xie Xuan turned his horse's head, his voice was extremely flat, "A soldier who dies for his confidant does not need his thanks. "

Murong Yong silently led the soldiers and horses to make way for Xie Xuan to lead the troops westward.

The two armies crossed, and Murong Yong watched Xie Xuan's resolute back without turning his head across thousands of troops - did he not want to go back, didn't want to go back, couldn't go back, or didn't dare to go back?

Just when the tail wings of the two armies crossed, there was a sudden commotion among the Yan army, and the troops immediately became chaotic, mixed with the Jin army, Murong Yong frowned - he is very strict in commanding the army, it shouldn't be so inexplicable He immediately sent his own soldiers to investigate. Unexpectedly, after a while, there was a report: "A few deserters from Houyan sneaked into our team and suddenly seized the horse and robbed the road. This caused a riot!"

Murong Yong instinctively felt that it was not good, so he hurriedly rode his horse back to kiss him, but before he got halfway, he could hear people's neighing and chaos, and in the next moment, he saw a cold arrow whizzing out from an unknown dark place, Straight into Xie Xuan's heart, without root!

Ren Zhen, who had been trapped by the siege for a long time, finally escaped, but he was still anxious. He still paced back and forth repeatedly with his face wrinkled, and stretched his neck to look around from time to time.It wasn't until the sound of horseshoes outside the city gate, and a familiar tall figure swept in like the wind, that he couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and hugged the visitor tightly!

Reunited after a long absence, after a catastrophe, the ecstasy of seeing each other made the two of them no longer have time to care about other people's eyes. Murong Yong hugged Ren Zhen's arms vigorously as if he wanted to push someone into his arms, and bowed his head to bite him on the neck. He greedily sucked his familiar yet unfamiliar breath—then he suddenly raised his head, looked at Ren Zhen's chapped, bleeding lips and thin, sunken face, and he spoke slowly, but his voice trembled unconsciously: "Why do you ...thin to this skinny appearance..."

"Am I hungry? If you don't come again, even Zhebai will be dragged out and cooked to feed the soldiers." Ren Zhen grinned, but his eyes were red, and then he stroked the fluttering hair under his armor: "You No, I am also much tired, and my hair has turned white."

Murong Yong grabbed Ren Zhen's hand, squeezed it tightly in his palm, and said nothing.

"...Ah, Wu Lie was injured, there was not enough medicine in the army, and the wound was difficult to heal for a long time, so people should go to treat it first." Ren Zhen came back to his senses, and quickly added a sentence. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but look Looking back, he asked urgently, "I heard that Xie Xuan also participated in the battle today, why...why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"Xie Xuan still wants to go to Luoyang. If he doesn't enter the city gate, he will directly lead his troops west." Murong Yong lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "He asked me to tell you that a scholar should die for his confidant, so you don't need to die." Thanks."

Ren Zhen was stunned for a word, speechless for a moment, he slumped to the ground, full of bitterness but could not utter it - I want to see you, is it for thank you?A scholar dies for his confidant, how can you pay so much for me?What I owe you is destined to be repaid in this lifetime...

Murong Yong silently looked down at his extremely sad lover, his heart ached slightly, but he was secretly glad that he didn't tell the truth just now.

Xie Xuan fell from the horse with an arrow in the rebellious army, which can be described as shocking—the cold arrow was shot by a deserter from Houyan, and the blood-stained tail of the arrow was also engraved with Murong Chui's Chengwu year name, and the murderers all committed suicide when they were encircled and suppressed Martyrdom——When Murong Yong rushed to Xie Xuan's side, the military governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was bloody and pale, but he sat cross-legged, calmly giving orders to his subordinates surrounded by tears : "Don't say anything, lest the army's morale will be unstable. The arrows are just flowing, or they will die-the whole army continues to march towards Luoyang, and wait for the camp to take the arrows."

Even though Murong Yong disliked the governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who planned to capture him before, he couldn't help admiring his tenacity at the moment, so he frowned and said, "The governor is seriously injured, let's go to the city to heal his wounds first."

"Eldest Son City is no different from ruins now, Xie will not bother you." Xie Xuan raised his head calmly and said, "Besides, the imperial court ordered the Beifu Army to take Luoyang from the west. Xie's stay here is already a decree. Before committing crimes and performing meritorious service."

He was avoiding on purpose, and he didn't want to see each other—since it was difficult to say goodbye when meeting each other, and the water flowed even more when the knife was cut off, why should we meet again.Murong Yong was silent for a moment, then took out a pack of medicinal powder and handed it over: "This is Xianbei's secret medicine 'Yinhuan', it can stop bleeding and relieve pain, the governor can apply it first to relieve pain."

Xie Xuan stood up slowly with Liu Yu's support, and the moment he thanked him for taking it, he whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Don't tell him."

When Ren Zhen heard the news, he would definitely feel sorry, sad, and heartbroken—but this kind of emotion, his confidant, couldn't bear it.

Xie Xuan was helped onto the horse. In the cold night wind, he closed his eyes and tried his best to straighten his back as usual. He was still the commander of Beifu who was unparalleled in talking, laughing and fighting.But he held the package of medicine powder tightly in front of his chest, the silver ring, and he was reluctant to use it—the days and nights of being dependent on each other in the Moling mountain forest and in the Xuancheng mansion hit his heart day and night, and every bit of it became a sharp pain, worse than that arrow. The injury is even more piercing.

He thought that he could deal with it indifferently, forget his feelings too much, and be true to what he said that day when they parted - the green mountains are not old, the green waters flow forever, and we will see you lying drunk on the battlefield in the future - so he couldn't do it.

Xie Jiabaoshu is nothing more than a mortal in the end.

Murong Yong broke the siege of the eldest son for only a few days, the shocking story of Shen He's killing and surrender has spread all over the world, everyone in the world is terrified.

Ren Zhen looked at the battle report as if he had been struck by lightning—in the Battle of Hebei, Tuobagui killed [-] unarmed prisoners of Houyan in one fell swoop—and Ren Zhen didn’t feel terrified after countless casualties on the battlefield, because the war It has always been bloody and rainy, and it is reasonable for both sides to fight desperately to win; but once one side surrenders and disarms, it is no different for civilians, and massacring tens of thousands of civilians without blinking an eye is inhumane!He couldn't believe that the boy who had been with him day and night for ten years would be so ruthless—has he changed, or has he never really understood him?

Later Yan Emperor Murong Chui was furious and determined to take revenge. When he returned to Zhongshan, he woke up and wanted to conquer Saibei himself. Because the main force had been completely lost, he had to urgently summon the remaining local troops from Jicheng, Longcheng, and Yecheng to Beijing, and hurried out of Saibei. Crusade against Tuoba Gui.

There are two roads before Ren Zhen: one is to cross the river with an army, first occupy Yecheng, and then go north to attack Zhongshan, which is empty of troops; the other is to return to Chang'an and wait and see what happens.

Yecheng's troops have been drawn out, so it must not be difficult to attack, but Ren Zhen hesitated for a moment, and asked Murong Yong: "I want to retreat, what do you think?"

Murong Yong glanced at him - after a series of blows such as defeating the army and trapping the eldest son on the wall, Ren Zhen has undoubtedly grown a little.If he used to go his own way in the past, why would he care about other people's opinions?Murong Chui had forced him to a desperate situation earlier, and he would definitely retaliate with an eye for an eye.But now the whole country of Houyan is mourning, and there is a lot of grief. Although Tuobagui's killing and surrender was his own will, he is still the general of Xiyan in name. People are despised, and at the same time, they will turn the spearhead of the hatred of the people of Houyan to themselves. Wherever they pass, they will cry blood and fight enthusiastically. Tuobagui and Houyan, who was full of killing intent and determined to revenge, fought again, and went back to the back to wait and see what happened, and waited for both sides to fight and lose both sides before proceeding.

There is another point that they know very well, but they just haven't pointed it out - Tuobagui is already too big to lose his tail, who knows if he will turn to plot Guanzhong after his red eyes?

So the three armies were purged, slowly retreated westward, returned to Guanzhong, and passed through Luoshui-Luoyang City, which originally belonged to Houyan, has now been taken by the Jin army without accident. The "Eastern Capital", which was once the world's largest, once again returned to the Sima family in name.

It was night, and Ren Zhen ordered to camp on the shore of Luoshui.After Haishi passed, Ren Zhen changed into a night clothes, touched the dragon-scale dagger, just opened the big tent, and saw Murong Yong with his arms crossed, waiting outside the door for an unknown how long.

Ren Zhen's face burned, and he lowered his head embarrassingly, knowing that Murong Yong had already guessed his true meaning.

Murong Yong took advantage of the situation and stepped in, straight to the point: "The emperor wants to go to Luoyang?"

His solemn address made Ren Zhen feel a little embarrassed - he knew that as the king of a country, it was another willful fault for him to leave the army and enter the city alone.But he coughed lightly, and insisted: "Xie Xuan must still be in the city when Luoyang is new. I, I want to go and see him—after all, he, he saved me again this time."

Murong Yong took a step closer and said in a low voice, "No need - he's not in Luoyang City."

Ren Zhen raised his head in astonishment: "Why?"

"He was injured by an arrow and has been sent back to Jiankang for treatment." Murong Yong had just briefly explained what had happened, and Ren Zhen immediately regretted and angered, and said angrily, "Why did you hide it from me! Why did you let him get injured and leave! "

Murong Yong first let him vent without saying a word, until Ren Zhen threatened to chase someone, he frowned and said: "I just received the news that Murong Chui led the army out of the fortress, passing through Canhebei, and saw wreckage everywhere. Angry, vomiting blood, he died, and his son Murong Bao hurriedly ascended the throne in Zhongshan - Tuoba Gui was a soldier, and he won without a fight. Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is not to find out why a general from another country was injured and why he left."

Ren Zhen was so confused that it was difficult to distinguish the content of his words for a while, but he stubbornly wanted to leave the camp to meet people. The moment Ren Zhen raised his foot and rushed out to pass Murong Yong, Murong Yong's hand was like lightning, and he grabbed it. Ren Zhen's arm vigorously threw the whole person on the couch!

Ren Zhen was caught off guard and fell to the ground in a mess, and just got up in a hurry, his eyes were dark, and he fell back again——Murong Yong rushed forward like a swift and nimble black panther, holding his prey firmly controlled under the body.

"Why did I hide it from you so far, and why did he insist on leaving? Ren Zhen, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid?" Murong Yong stared at him condescendingly, with a dark fire in his eyes, with a faint sense of danger.Ren Zhen hadn't been treated like this in many years, he struggled up and down, gritted his teeth and said, "Shu Ming, I know I'm a bastard, I'm sorry for you and him, that's why I want to see him more, I—"

Murong Yong suddenly lowered his head, bit his lips, and blocked all the remaining words in his throat.

This kiss came with the momentum of wind and thunder, violently tossing and turning to attack the city, Ren Zhen instinctively wanted to turn his head to avoid it, but Murong Yong pinched his jaw, and drove straight in even more rudely, Ren Zhen gritted his teeth, It hit the tip of Murong Yong's tongue, but it couldn't alleviate his fierce and impatient attack at all. After a while, there was a bloody taste in his mouth.

Murong Yong finally let go of him a little bit, and growled: "Ren Zhen, you are not Murong Chong, but you are the monarch of the entire Yan Kingdom and the lifeblood of my Murong Yong! Do you know that during the 87 days you have been under siege, every day How do I get through day and night?! You can use your will to act decisively, but before you take risks every time, can you think of me, think of everyone who puts you on the tip of your heart but is held in your palm? I finally saw you again. Seeing that you have suffered enough, I know that I should not care about cause and effect, right or wrong, but what I think in my heart is that if I am a few days late, will you just leave me? These days I I am suppressing and forbearing all the time, I even want to imprison you, keep you by my side, and stop being the Emperor of Yan!"

Hearing this, Ren Zhen opened his eyes and looked at his lover intently.Murong Yong's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, his eyes glistened with water, his whole body was like a desperate beast - for several years, the two of them had been together less often and more often, and the occasional meeting was as lingering as spring breeze and rain, Ren Zhen seldom saw Murong Yong With such a painful and resentful expression, his heart suddenly throbbed, he couldn't help but softened completely, put his arms around Murong Yong's neck, and murmured: "Shu Ming, Shu Ming...I'm sorry, I lost my head and made a mess. I won't go, and I won't—" I won't rely on your love to act willfully...

Murong Yong sniffled in embarrassment, but fiercely began to forcibly take off Ren Zhen's robe, leaned down impatiently, bit his chest muscles, turned his hands down sharply, and plunged into the extremely dry interstock.

You can't get in like this.He straightened up, panting heavily, his head, face and neck flushed red, and a low growl kept coming from his throat.Ren Zhen propped up his arms, gritted his teeth, spread his legs, and said urgently, "Come on."

Murong Yong couldn't hold it back any longer, and pressed on like a tiger pouncing on his prey—Ren Zhen then straightened his neck, swallowed a scream, but tightened his hands on Murong Yong's thick shoulders even harder.

It was difficult to move forward, unable to advance or retreat, every inch was like grinding flesh and blood, Murong Yong was not feeling well, but he still gritted his teeth and sweated vigorously, he knew that Ren Zhen was in pain, but he rarely wanted to use it regardless. Qiang—"Does it hurt? That's right, if you have a heart, it should hurt..."

The emotion of Ren Zhen being stabbed was vaguely heard, and all perception was swept away by the overwhelming desire.

In the end, Murong Yong leaned down suddenly, and entered without root, the momentum even lifted his life an inch away from the bed. At the moment of the explosion, he stared at his lover who was engraved in the marrow of his bone marrow and weighed more than his life. Sweat dripped down his cheeks, like tears.

Then he slowly poked his head over, biting Ren Zhen's panting lips, reversed the agitation and frenzy just now, and was as soft as a feather.

Only at this moment, in harmony with each other, he is unique and complete, and belongs to him alone.

Jiankang Wuyi Lane in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Xie's family house stands quietly in this secluded alley, and the setting sun is like blood, silently shining on the lintel of this Jiangzuo family.

Xie Xuan was wearing an azure wide-sleeved robe, leaning against the window, holding a scroll in his hand, but he couldn't read a few lines, so he threw down the book and said coldly, "Since you're here, why hide your head and show your tail."

There was a light sound outside the door, and a figure flashed in, tall and tall, with a face like a crown of jade and evil eyes, it was Sima Yuanxian, King of the East China Sea.Xie Xuan turned his back coldly: "It would be rude for His Highness to drive straight in."

Sima Yuanxian leaned against the doorpost and said with a smile: "This king came to see your husband's injury, do you still need to report?" A year ago, although Sima Yuanxian was in charge of the Eastern Jin court, his father Sima Daozi was still alive, so he couldn't do it. Xijue can only be called the son of the king of Kuaiji. Now he is planning to build a new army, use troops in Sichuan and Shu, and recover Luoyang. His strength and influence have already surpassed those of the past. He was also named the King of the East China Sea, setting a precedent for the father and son of the Jin Dynasty clan to be both princes.On the other hand, Xie Xuan, the governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who once commanded thousands of troops and moved the mountains and rivers with a gesture of his hand, openly resisted the order, delayed state affairs and deprived him of his military post, and returned to Beijing to face punishment-the situation was reversed, not like Tianyuan.

Perhaps he still had a chance to recover—as long as Xie Xuan still controls the military force of the Beifu, it is impossible for the imperial court to really punish him. Because of this, it made him even more unscrupulous?

Sima Yuanxian twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally looked at the empty sleeve on Xie Xuan's right: "Mr. resisted the order and insisted on staying at Zhiguan, so that he was hit by an arrow—who knows that the arrow was poisoned, and under improper treatment, Mr. I have to keep my arms and legs to save my life, and now I am a useless person who can no longer bend his bow and lift his sword. After 20 years of military service, nothing happened. Don’t you regret it, don’t you complain?”

Sima Yuanxian pierced his heart with every word, and Xie Xuan's expression remained the same, calm: "Everything is taken by Xie himself, and he is no different from others, so why regret and resent?"

Since Xie Xuan stepped down from his post in Beijing, he has been under house arrest, but his calmness and aloofness seem to be that he is still the governor who pointed out the country and condemned Fang Qiu.Sima Yuanxian stared at him, licked his lips subconsciously, and felt a faint commotion in his heart: Some people can achieve a surprise without gestures - Xie Xuan is like this.
