I'm not Murong Chong
Chapter 170
Liu Yu led [-] cavalry into Linqu, and met the [-] Nanyan main cavalry who had heard the news in the south of the city.Murong Chao then ordered general Gongsun Wulou to lead his cavalry forward, and encountered Jin army's forward Meng Longfu in the Mihe area. After days of fierce fighting, Gongsun was defeated and lost.Because the Beifu army was inferior to Nanyan in terms of cavalry alone, Liu Yu divided four thousand chariots into left and right wings. advance.Murong Chao was not mediocre on the battlefield either. He saw through the only flaw in Liu Yu's mighty battle formation—the speed was too slow to be flexible, so he sent fine cavalry to flank him—the two armies fought hard for more than ten days and nights to win the battle. Pending.
In the end, it was Liu Yubing who made a strange move and took the risk to divide his troops. He ordered Tan Daoji, who joined the army, to lead his troops to circle behind the Yan army, take advantage of the bluff to capture Linqu City, cut off the Yan army's supplies, and attack Murong Chao's troops internally and externally. , Can only flee back to Guanggu, the capital in a hurry-Liu Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue, sent troops all the way, defeated the Yan army, and attacked the city of Guanggu like a broken bamboo.Liu Yu built a long fence outside the city, which was three feet high, tightly closed and impenetrable.
When Tuobagui saw that Liu Yu did nothing to his threat and went his own way, he was furious and ordered He Lanjun, the general of Nanzhong who was stationed at Hangu Pass, to lead his troops out of the pass, put on various postures, and prepared to enter Luoyang eastward.He also wrote a letter with more severe wording, and distributed it in duplicate to Liu Yu at the front and Xie Xuan at the rear—declaring that if the Eastern Jin Dynasty refused to retreat, or plotted to destroy Nanyan in Qingzhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty would divide its troops into two groups On one side, Xi Jin drove straight into Nanyan for aid; on the other side, He Lanjun took command to attack Luoyang, the central capital. The day when the two armies from the north and the south join forces is the time when the land of the Jin court will be destroyed and the entire army will be wiped out!
Liu Yu's eldest son, Liu Yifu, is now guarding Luoyang. He is only twelve or thirteen years old. He has never seen such a big battle. The general Wang Zhen'e, who is in charge of the army, is facing the Wei army's iron cavalry. He has no idea. He wrote Liu Yu a long time ago. The help letter Chen Ming said: Is it the great achievement of the Northern Expedition to gain land, or the great crime of falling and falling?The governor has the military power in his hands, and he is extremely honored. The great cause can be gradually pursued.
He is Liu Yu's confidant, and his words are very straightforward: Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was originally to make his reputation in the Jin Dynasty to a higher level and to prepare for the future, but if he fell into a protracted war with Nanyan If you are unable to extricate yourself or even lose in the end, then all previous military exploits will be wiped out by someone with a heart, and it is possible to manipulate the reality of sanctions.
Liu Yu naturally understood who the "person" he was talking about, and had to worry about it in his heart.
However, at the same time, he also received a decree from "that person" from Jiankang in the name of the imperial court - to confer Liu Yu as the Duke of Song, to grant Huangyue Baiyan, to conscript the title of General of Beishenwei, to lead Xuzhou Governor, and to come here. The day's triumphant class teacher will be rewarded even more.
This is not a reward, it is clearly a reminder to soldiers.However, Liu Yu somehow wanted to prove it to Xie Xuan—as long as it is what you want, no matter where the country is, I can fight for you—no matter what the price is!
He gambled again—gambling on his fame and martial arts throughout his life that Tuobagui would not have two armies to help Yan.So he ordered to step up the siege of the city without any relaxation, and sent troops to sweep the surrounding counties from time to time, interrupting his idea to trap Murong Chao to death.
After Murong Chao asked for help ten times in a row, He Lanjun's troops stationed outside Hangu Pass finally moved out, but they did not go south but went north—he attacked Jinyang under Tuobagui's order to put down the Tuobayi rebellion.
Of course, Tuobagui didn't mean to die or not to save, it's just that there are priorities, and the outside must be settled first--Tuobagui became more suspicious after a series of generals defected in front of the battle and courtiers ran away overnight. No one could believe it, and dared not send to Jinyang to quell the chaos. Seeing that Tuobayi's gang of rebellious officials and thieves became more and more arrogant, how could there be any reason to vomit blood in embarrassment?So as a last resort, he had to transfer He Lanjun's troops, who had been stationed at Hangu Pass to guard against Murong Yong, to Jinyang - among the eight tribes of Xianbei, only He Lanna was the king of ambush at that time, and he helped Tuobagui to quell the chaos in Pingcheng. Therefore, he completely broke with Tuoba Yi, and He Lanjun, who had a deep hatred with Tuoba Yi, absolutely did not dare to turn his back on him and join the rebel party.
News of the tens of thousands of troops on the western frontier of the Northern Wei Dynasty quickly spread throughout the world.Holding the battle report in his hand, Wu Lie went to look for Murong Yong non-stop, but as soon as he entered the Weiyang Palace, he bumped into the royal car that was about to go on a tour, which was vast and endless.
Wu Lie was anxious, so he ignored the etiquette and went straight to Longyu, but before he could get close, he was stopped by the Huben guards - now the soldiers of the Huben camp around Murong Yong have already exchanged blood, and there are not many of his old subordinates left Of course, no one would save face for an outdated general.Wu Lie couldn't get away from the left and right, so he could only kneel down with a thud and said: "Your Majesty! The latest news from the frontier, He Lanjun led his troops to evacuate Hangu Pass - now is a great time to raise troops to attack Wei!"
The waiter opened the curtain, revealing Murong Yong sitting upright in the car - he was wearing a black dragon robe and a white jade tiara on his head, and the twelve beads hanging from the front swayed slightly, concealing all the wandering expressions in his eyes , The gestures of hands and feet are already indescribable imperial demeanor and royal majesty.Mrs. Li wore a Queen's dress, and sat beside her solemnly. When she saw Wu Lie, she frowned and asked, "How dare you trespass in front of the imperial court!?"
Wu Lie has indeed been deprived of all his titles since he fell into Hangu, and he was reprimanded at home. However, he has never given up on the matter of destroying Wei's savior, and some time ago he went to Yanzhi Mountain under the order of Murong Yongmi to meet with Rouran Khan and Liang Wang Fujian formed an alliance, conscious of the possibility of this matter, and even more eagerly hoped that he could once again go into battle and enter the Wei State to take revenge.But another year has passed, and Murong Yong has no follow-up actions, and he has not even made any preparations for the battle. The whole Xiyan is calm, and there is no sign of a big war, why doesn't it make him anxious?Regardless of Mrs. Li's scolding, he took advantage of the gap, rushed to the front of the car and said, "Your Majesty! The last general is willing to lead the troops to break through, enter Wei, and rescue—"
Murong Yong suddenly interrupted his words, and said calmly: "It is not a good time to start a war with Wei again."
Wu Lie said anxiously: "It's not a good opportunity? Your Majesty! I've been saying this for two full years. Don't you know that sending troops a day later is more dangerous!"
Murong Yongnong raised his brows slightly, and looked at the former veteran general who was also weather-stained: "After many years of war, the treasury has been emptied, and the people's livelihood is in decline. It is time to recuperate, so that Dayan can enjoy long-term peace and stability. Will Yan fall into the quagmire of disputes again?"
Wu Lie widened his eyes and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly anger rose from his heart: "Your Majesty's majesty is probably because he has enjoyed the country for a long time, and he has fallen in love with this lofty dragon chair so much that he has forgotten the kindness and promise of the past!"
Li's heart suddenly felt dark. After all these days passed, although Murong Yong was still indifferent to her and had many precautions, he became more and more concerned about treating the emperor as Huang Chuigong, and it seemed that he was already very interested in rescuing Murong Chong. She gave up her mind and planned to be his emperor of Yan Anan. Even if she suffered a little bit of grievance, she would still be the supreme empress. Now, the mother of the country, how can she allow a poor family to bring up that unbearable past in broad daylight to shake the king's heart!
She secretly glanced at Murong Yong again, and seeing that there was no anger on his face, she boldly ordered the guards on the left and right to tie up Wu Lie who was talking nonsense, gag his mouth with numbness, push him down and execute him.
Wu Lie yelled and struggled endlessly, Murong Yong sat back as if he didn't hear anything, and the curtain was lowered, only to hear a faint order from inside: "After all, he is a loyal and loyal minister, let him live for a while!"
Murong Yong and Empress Li went on a tour of various places in the Guanzhong. They inspected the military affairs in the name of observing the people's sentiments.He came from a side branch of the Murong family. Although he was selected into the Xiaocai Army because of his birth and took refuge in the tent of Heyang King Murong Zhong as a general, he started from a humble beginning and took the lead in participating in dozens of battles since the founding of Xiyan. He was promoted by military merit.After Murong Zhong, whom Murong Yong had always supported, was executed in front of the former emperor, he stood out from the others in the Xiaocai army, and could even rely on his military power to join forces with the Li family back then to conspire to abolish the establishment - he knew very well Murong Yong is the immediate emperor, so his temperament may not be very tolerant. He has been able to tolerate him until now and even gave him preferential treatment. Isn't it because he has a large army in his hand, and because of his power, he squeezed away Murong Yong's confidant general Diao Yun, and personally stationed at Tongguan, the gate of Chang'an ?Therefore, he has always been extremely concerned about recruiting troops, buying horses, and training the army, and never gives up. Naturally, he is not afraid of the emperor's investigation later, and even whispered: "The emperor's visit here is like a guest, and he will treat him naturally, so why bother?" This means that Tongguan has been regarded as his own.
Therefore, when he heard that Murong Yong and his party had inspected the Bashang and Xinfeng military camps, and had praised Diao Yun who was stationed in Bashang and guarding Chang'an, he was rewarded a lot, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He was also late to pick up the driver, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he let the emperor watch the military exercise of all the soldiers - he deliberately wanted to let his tiger and wolf division also compete for the prize, so that the emperor would look at him with admiration.
For a general to show off his military power like this, it is a little bit irrelevant, but Murong Yong doesn't seem to care, instead he praises him for his ability to manage the army and his talent as a pillar, and he is greatly praised.
He also stayed in the barracks that night.Murong Yidougui felt that he was honorable, and because he was on his own territory, he didn't care about others, so he set up a grand banquet and gathered his cronies to celebrate.
It wasn't until three rounds of drinking that a waiter found Murong Yidou among the mess of cups and plates and said: "Your Majesty, I have invited the general."
Speaking of the Li family, that was Murong Yidougui's former ally, if she hadn't secretly tipped off the news, he wouldn't have known everything about the situation in the Beijing Palace.Therefore, after the internal and external joint efforts to elect the new king to the throne, Mrs. Li won the position of the middle palace, and since then she has become the mother of the world; and he has become the No.It's just that Murong Yidougui is not satisfied in his heart - the current emperor is only a collateral lineage when talking about blood, and only the former Murong Chong can be counted as a legitimate son, but what about people now?Being reduced to a prisoner without knowing his life or death, the one who sat on the dragon chair and had the last laugh was the former general Murong Yong——How could Murong Yidougui not be moved by such a lesson from the past?It's just that although Li Shi has become a queen, she has never been favored. Even Xinna's Princess Rouran is more holy than her. Although she has a prince, it is only a mother-child relationship in name. In the future, the intention of using her to seize power will be nothing, so he has to keep advising Murong Yong to expand the harem and find ways to install his own people into the palace as concubines. In this way, the alliance between him and Queen Li will inevitably go downhill and exist in name only. up.
But having said that, after all, he and the queen were allies who were closely related to each other, and they couldn't completely tear each other off. Now that Mrs. Li has summoned him, he might have an opportunity to teach them, so it's not a good idea. He left the table in a hurry.The aides around him casually asked him if he wanted to bring more soldiers to take care of him, and Murong Yidougui waved his hand - the empress would never harm him, not to mention that this is his home site, so why bother, instead of giving others a handle.
Murong Yidou returned to the tent, Li's familiar voice came from the brightly lit tent: "General, please come in."
He raised his hands and rubbed his face to make himself more awake, then raised his feet and stepped in. The heavy brocade curtain was lowered to isolate the vast night outside.
But he never expected to see Murong Yong standing with his hands behind his back.
Murong Yong was dressed in a Panlong Hu suit with a waist and lapels, he turned around and looked at him leisurely, with a half-smile and said: "General Kuiye is visiting Zitong, there must be some important military and state affairs to discuss?"
Murong Yidougui's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong, he immediately turned around and wanted to run away, suddenly eight guards in solid clothes sprang out from the dark all around to surround him, no matter how brave Yi Dougui was, he was unprepared , and also drunk and hazy, his fists were overwhelming and he was quickly subdued to the ground.He never expected that Murong Yong would kill him without warning at this moment, so he pressed his head firmly on the ground and repeated unwillingly: "Your Majesty, the general has merit and is not guilty! Why bind me? !"
Murong Yong's smile that was still on during the day was gone, and the gloomy brows flickered fiercely. He said coldly: "You are arbitrarily interfering in politics, privately conspiring to abolish the establishment, and you are not a minister, so it is not a crime? Don't you say that you came here at night?" Seeing the queen, the heart of disobedience is even more obvious!" He took a step closer, looked down at him who was struggling, lowered his voice and said: "What's more, I want to kill you, and I need a reason?"
Yi Dougui didn't expect that Murong Yong hated what happened in the past, but kept it hidden, even he was kept in the dark, just for today's unexpected hit!At the moment, he said with extreme fear: "Isn't the emperor afraid of the Mutiny in Tongguan?!"
Murong Yong raised the corners of his lips coldly: "Diao Yun has led the Bashang garrison to stand by starry night to monitor Tongguan—besides, the Xiaocai Army was created by me, and now that the rice has been cooked, how many people in the three armies will fight for a dead man?" Is the criminal minister willing to make trouble?"
The voice fell sonorously, Yi Dougui knew that he was going to die, so he decided to go all out, turned his head and rushed to the side Li Nan'er shouted: "Poisonous woman! You think you set up a trap to lure me into the account, and help you husband get rid of my thorn in my flesh. , he will look at you differently and get back together? Dreaming! You and I were both accomplices at the beginning, which one can we go now?! Today my body returns to my homeland, and his court body is the same-I am waiting for you underground! "
Murong Yidougui was quickly executed, and the whole army was informed, most of the generals were still stupefied and shocked, when they came back to their senses, everything was a foregone conclusion, and the attack would happen naturally.However, the resentful and vicious cursing before his death has been lingering in Li Shi's mind for a long time.
Murong Yong quickly cut through the mess, and eliminated Murong Yidou's loyal and cronies in the army overnight, and regained his military power. The rest of the generals would not dare to wait and see, and even secretly resisted the emperor's will, so they obeyed .When he was busy returning to the account at dawn, he naturally saw Li Shi's expression of worry and fear, and said comfortingly: "Zi Tong helped me eradicate the powerful ministers, and the credit belongs to the community, so don't worry too much."
Li Nan'er's heart was full of worries, and when he spoke, his tone was soft and soft: "The emperor once said that the relationship between you and me is like a fur, and the concubine will keep it in mind, so I risked the world's disgrace, shared the worries for the emperor, and for the prince. Jide, I don't dare to have the slightest selfishness. Even if I made any mistakes before, please forgive me now."
A sneer flashed across Murong Yong's eyes: "Don't worry, I understand."
Li Nan'er felt a little relieved - she was only trying to save Murong Yong's heart when she made such a bad move, she was really moved by her as the emperor, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and stretched out her hand towards him, but Murong Yong turned around , Can barely avoid: "As long as Zitong keeps his duty and lives in the harem forever, then Dayan's current empress and future empress dowager will always be alone with you."
Li Nan'er's heart turned cold when she heard the words, she could only stare blankly at his lonely back, and could not say another word.
Little did he know that Murong Yong was no better than others, but he grew up in a stable and hut, and he never forgot every detail of his grievances and hatreds. What's more, it's the man who occupied all his mind?He has been separated from him for three years, how can he not be in pain?But Murong Yong gritted his teeth and endured it bloodily, so that one day he would surely win—he could no longer bear the disappointment of getting what he wanted.
But now, when the time is right, he doesn't have to bear it anymore - this time, no one can hold him back!
In the late spring of April, among the Han people in the Central Plains, literati, Confucianists and Mohists have the custom of the Sishui Festival. They often sing and walk to the river to break willows and wash water, splashing for joy.Later, the Gaomen family often gathered three or five like-minded people on this day, and they had a lot of good stories through the ages.Even after traveling south, Wang Youjun and his friends sang poetry and wine at the Lanting Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River during the Sishui Festival. He was drunk and sexual, and splashed ink and left an unprecedented Lanting Preface.
In the third year of Emperor Yuanxing of Jin'an, even though there was a war in the north, in order to calm people's hearts, Xie Xuan, the head of the family who had not shown up for a long time, came forward to host the Sishui Festival in Qingliang Mountain.
In the Jiangfeng Pavilion on the top of the mountain, Xie Xuan was wearing a crane cloak, reclining on the brocade couch, quietly looking at the children of the aristocratic family who were excitedly talking about poetry and poetry—for these princes and grandchildren who are wealthy and well-clothed and well-fed Even if the country's major affairs are not, they are not as important as their talkative demeanor.
With a full house, who can succeed?Thinking of this, Xie Xuan's heart was racing, and he couldn't help coughing violently for a long time.Qing Cong hastily sent a warm towel, and said in a low voice: "I have prepared some soup and medicine, Mr. Xie, bring in some." Xie Xuan recovered his breath, but slowly waved his hand: "My every move is subject to attention, if this It is inappropriate to openly take medicine from time to time, which will sway people's hearts."
Qing Cong couldn't help frowning and sighing——Since the death of the Queen, although the appearance of the Grand Tutor Xie remained the same, the inside seemed to be getting more and more withered, and his body was not as good as before. There were four or five days of continuous medical treatment, but no imperial doctor could diagnose it. What kind of symptoms come.
Xie Xuan raised his sleeves to cover his lips, and his eyes fell on the couplets written on the pavilion inadvertently—a play of flowing water and a play of the moon, half into the river wind and half into the clouds, it was his own writing when he was young and proud, But now that I have nothing to spare, my heart is sad and my spirit is exhausted, and I have no interest.
Qing Cong offered hot tea again, Xie Xuan accepted it and saw Yang Ping rushing over, whispering a few words in his ear.Even if he is as calm as Xie Xuan, his complexion will change slightly—Xi Jin’s soldiers entered Qingzhou, intending to break through the siege of Guanggu after attacking the Beifu army with superior force; The north and the south are fighting together, and if we follow the old-fashioned plan, we will withdraw the Northern Expeditionary Army and transfer it to the Jiaozhou area to quell the chaos, and prevent them from crossing the Qiantang River to threaten Yangzhou, so as to protect the center of the Jin court.However, Xie Xuanhe deliberated for a long time, and finally opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Send Xie Hui, the governor of Jingzhou, to go south to quell the chaos; urge Liu Yu not to hesitate, and to take Guanggu with all his strength—Northern Wei can help Yan, and I can also increase troops! "
At that time, Guzang, the capital of Liang.
Yang Ding pushed the door and entered, just as Fu Jian, who was practicing martial arts, just stopped, and swung a long halberd in his hand with an arc of full moon light, and he paused heavily on the ground.
"Heavenly King, He Lanjun's troops are locked in a stalemate with Tuobayi's rebels in Jinyang; Xi Jin's troops went from Hebei to Shandong to aid Murong Chao, but they were blocked by Liu Yu's Beifu Army, and they couldn't get away for a while—Tuobagui now I am lonely, and only the three imperial guards of the direct line can be used in my hands, and fugitives and rioters are constantly appearing in the capitals and places of the Northern Wei Dynasty; the whole country is full of troops, and all counties are in chaos." Yang Ding reported the latest information to Fu Jian, At the end, he said: "The army preparing to enter the customs has already assembled and is on standby. We only need to wait for Shelun Khan to send troops as promised, and then we can plan big things."
Fu Jian raised his hand to hold the bowl, poured a lot of water to quench his thirst, and then walked towards Yang Ding step by step, his muscles undulating during his movements, like a vigorous and mighty male leopard ready to go.
But he didn't face Yang Ding's words directly, instead he suddenly asked: "Your boy seems to have just passed his first birthday? I forgot about the day of the banquet and was never there." Yang Ding didn't know why Fu Jian suddenly mentioned this, He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's the dog's birthday, why bother the Heavenly King to remember it!"
Fu Jian paused, looking at Yang Ding, who had passed his forties, how long ago, the man who had sincerely made friends with him, and said each other like Big Brother Fu, had already respectfully changed his address?The stupefied young man who dared to act bravely and go forward has long been forged by the world to become mature and stable, but he is no longer as sincere and candid as before-but isn't this what he deliberately cultivated over the years?Every time he left, the general ordered Yang Ding to supervise the country. No matter how honest and straightforward a person shouldered the heavy burden, he had to wear a majestic and cold mask after many years.He was silent for a while, and finally turned around and took out a red kit and handed it to Yang Ding: "As an elder, you should give your nephew a little gift to meet the new year. You can accept it. It's just a thought."
Yang Ding opened it and saw that there was a statue of the birth of Buddha made of gold, pointing to the sky and the earth. It is said that after Sakyamuni was born, he walked seven steps to the southeast, northwest, and pointed to the sky with his right hand and pointed to the ground with his left, like a lion. Roaring: "I am the only one in the sky and on the earth." The implication is thought-provoking.Yang Ding saw that the handwork was not very fine but the knives and chisels were majestic, he thought for a while, and hurriedly knelt down: "The king of heaven casts the Buddha with his own hands, what can I do—"
Fu Jian interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said leisurely: "This skill was learned when he and he were hiding in Maiji Mountain in Liangzhou that year. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Now there are grottoes everywhere on Maiji Mountain. There is a forest of Buddha statues, but there is no news of Yiren, and I don't know where he is." He paused, then smiled lightly, "Yang Ding, put it away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have this opportunity again in the future."
Yang Ding was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what was happening and looked at Fu Jian in shock: "Heavenly King! You—you don't mean to—" You don't mean to abdicate when the war ends!
Fu Jian looked at him: "You have experienced enough, today is not what it used to be, I have long intended to pass on to you in the past few days—"
Yang Ding hastily resigned, but Fu Jian said: "The world is busy, tens of years, two generations of people, don't you know who can last forever? I have already seen it. I just want the people under my rule to live and work in peace and contentment. I have no shame in my heart." ——But now for my own selfishness, I have to go to war again, it is a crime after all. Soldiers are fierce, relying on martial arts will not last long, you will succeed in the future, you must be careful." Raising his hand stopped Yang Ding and followed He seemed to have made up his mind, and continued in a deep voice: "There is a sentence that has been hidden in my heart for ten years, I am afraid that if I don't say it this time, there will be no chance in the future - Back then, I actually knew that you had him in your heart, but I used it despicably This huge family and country bound you to the land of Liangzhou, and told you that the mountains and the rivers are short, and I finally stopped thinking about it... I still owe you an apology."
Yang Ding looked up in astonishment, and blurted out: "Brother Fu!" He was anxious to explain, but couldn't speak, his whole face was flushed, and it took him a long time to hold back a broken sentence: "That's already a thing of the past...not to mention , He has a magnanimous mind, and he treats me as a brother from the beginning to the end, and he will have no regrets in this life-and-death friendship."
Fu Jian wanted to say something more, but Yang Ding suddenly returned to his senses, bowed his head resolutely, and said decisively: "Now I only have my beautiful wife, noble son and even the people of Liangzhou in my heart!"
This time, Fu Jian was in a daze for a moment, and then he smiled wryly: "You are the one who is open-minded after all. Either way, whether it is right or wrong will turn heads—this is the last final battle of my life, Fu Jian."
"Yes! I immediately started the pre-war preparations and mobilization matters - put all the power of the country, and strive for victory!" Yang Ding shuddered, and while bowing in agreement, he forcibly swallowed the long-lost bitterness in his heart.
In the late summer of 403 A.D., Murong Yong broke Hangu and went to war against Wei. The defenders along the way were invincible, and towns and cities all over the country fell.Tuobagui had no choice but to order Xi Jin, who was assisting Nan Yan, to turn around and return north immediately, and intercept the invading land at full speed. Xi Jin marched day and night, and then he was able to catch up with the Yan army and fell into a bitter battle in the Central Plains.On the other side, Liu Yu looked at the right time and captured the Nanyan envoy who had reported back to the city from the Wei army's barracks alive. "In order to disintegrate the determination of the Nanyan soldiers who were standing in the city for help, Murong Chao, the leader of Nanyan, was furious and complained endlessly.
But Tuoba Gui couldn't care about him now.In the hall, he swept away the letters and battle reports full of cases, and yelled at several counselors in a rage: "Why hasn't there been any good news from Xi Jin?! He occupied a dangerous pass and blocked Xiyan, why did he not win!" Walking back and forth for a few quick steps, he stretched out his sleeves and shouted: "One more order, let He Lanjun step up and capture Jinyang! If I don't see Tuobayi's leader within ten days, I will kill him!"
Chao Ru remained silent, thinking that Tuobagui was really angry and confused—the Helan clan was already the only backbone force in the eight tribes of Xianbei who clearly supported Tuobagui, and He Lanna was still in an important position in Pingcheng. Ba Gui threatened He Lanjun, who was fighting hard on the front line, to kill his nine clans?
Apparently Tuobagui hadn't really lost consciousness yet, and he drank back to Xiaohuangmen who was about to deliver the decree, and Chao Ru said cautiously: "Now it's really pressing the gourd and starting the ladle. For the present plan, the emperor must not fall into it. Divide the troops, and be led by the nose by the forces of all parties, so we must concentrate our forces to defeat each of them."
The veins on Tuobagui's forehead throbbed, and he said furiously, "They all want to kill me! Just come together! I am ordered by the sky, the Buddha is the incarnation, I am not afraid of them!"
Another minister thought about it and asked doubts in his heart: "It's just... the border has been at peace for a long time, I don't know how this Murong Yong suddenly launched a trouble?"
The speaker was unintentional, but it made the two people in the hall tremble in their hearts. At this moment, Zhongchang Attendant Zong Qing rushed into the Qingjin Hall and whispered a few words in his ears.Tuobagui then ordered all the ministers to leave, and ordered that the matters discussed today should not be leaked, Chao Ru walked at the end, and looked back casually, just in time to see Tuobagui took out Xiaoyao Pills, poured out a handful, carelessly Press it into your mouth.
When Ren Zhen entered, Tuoba Gui had already calmed down, and he no longer had the tyrannical look of a ghost just now, but his breath was weak, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
Ren Zhen didn't mention those bad things, and tried to find some light topics to talk with him, and even coaxed him to eat some food, the waiter stepped forward to remove the cups and saucers, still chatting with him everywhere, But after a long while there was no response, Ren Zhen looked intently, only to see Tuoba Gui who was sitting opposite him sitting upright with his head down and his eyes slightly closed, unexpectedly fell asleep from exhaustion at some point.
Ren Zhen was about to look away, but suddenly his throat choked up - Tuoba Gui's temples, who had just arrived and stood in their prime, had already been stained with gray out of thin air.
At this time, another servant ran up to the hall with a letter in his hand. Ren Zhen immediately turned his head and hissed his lips with a vertical finger, signaling him not to wake Tuoba Gui. The servant hurriedly put the urgent battle report that had just been delivered on the case. Weiwei resigns.
Ren Zhen looked around, and saw a shocking line of words in ink on the newspaper: Rouran Xiliang Allied Forces [-] troops left Yanzhi in the east, passed Yinshan Mountain, and came straight to Shengle, the front line is urgent, begging for reinforcements!
In the end, it was Liu Yubing who made a strange move and took the risk to divide his troops. He ordered Tan Daoji, who joined the army, to lead his troops to circle behind the Yan army, take advantage of the bluff to capture Linqu City, cut off the Yan army's supplies, and attack Murong Chao's troops internally and externally. , Can only flee back to Guanggu, the capital in a hurry-Liu Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue, sent troops all the way, defeated the Yan army, and attacked the city of Guanggu like a broken bamboo.Liu Yu built a long fence outside the city, which was three feet high, tightly closed and impenetrable.
When Tuobagui saw that Liu Yu did nothing to his threat and went his own way, he was furious and ordered He Lanjun, the general of Nanzhong who was stationed at Hangu Pass, to lead his troops out of the pass, put on various postures, and prepared to enter Luoyang eastward.He also wrote a letter with more severe wording, and distributed it in duplicate to Liu Yu at the front and Xie Xuan at the rear—declaring that if the Eastern Jin Dynasty refused to retreat, or plotted to destroy Nanyan in Qingzhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty would divide its troops into two groups On one side, Xi Jin drove straight into Nanyan for aid; on the other side, He Lanjun took command to attack Luoyang, the central capital. The day when the two armies from the north and the south join forces is the time when the land of the Jin court will be destroyed and the entire army will be wiped out!
Liu Yu's eldest son, Liu Yifu, is now guarding Luoyang. He is only twelve or thirteen years old. He has never seen such a big battle. The general Wang Zhen'e, who is in charge of the army, is facing the Wei army's iron cavalry. He has no idea. He wrote Liu Yu a long time ago. The help letter Chen Ming said: Is it the great achievement of the Northern Expedition to gain land, or the great crime of falling and falling?The governor has the military power in his hands, and he is extremely honored. The great cause can be gradually pursued.
He is Liu Yu's confidant, and his words are very straightforward: Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was originally to make his reputation in the Jin Dynasty to a higher level and to prepare for the future, but if he fell into a protracted war with Nanyan If you are unable to extricate yourself or even lose in the end, then all previous military exploits will be wiped out by someone with a heart, and it is possible to manipulate the reality of sanctions.
Liu Yu naturally understood who the "person" he was talking about, and had to worry about it in his heart.
However, at the same time, he also received a decree from "that person" from Jiankang in the name of the imperial court - to confer Liu Yu as the Duke of Song, to grant Huangyue Baiyan, to conscript the title of General of Beishenwei, to lead Xuzhou Governor, and to come here. The day's triumphant class teacher will be rewarded even more.
This is not a reward, it is clearly a reminder to soldiers.However, Liu Yu somehow wanted to prove it to Xie Xuan—as long as it is what you want, no matter where the country is, I can fight for you—no matter what the price is!
He gambled again—gambling on his fame and martial arts throughout his life that Tuobagui would not have two armies to help Yan.So he ordered to step up the siege of the city without any relaxation, and sent troops to sweep the surrounding counties from time to time, interrupting his idea to trap Murong Chao to death.
After Murong Chao asked for help ten times in a row, He Lanjun's troops stationed outside Hangu Pass finally moved out, but they did not go south but went north—he attacked Jinyang under Tuobagui's order to put down the Tuobayi rebellion.
Of course, Tuobagui didn't mean to die or not to save, it's just that there are priorities, and the outside must be settled first--Tuobagui became more suspicious after a series of generals defected in front of the battle and courtiers ran away overnight. No one could believe it, and dared not send to Jinyang to quell the chaos. Seeing that Tuobayi's gang of rebellious officials and thieves became more and more arrogant, how could there be any reason to vomit blood in embarrassment?So as a last resort, he had to transfer He Lanjun's troops, who had been stationed at Hangu Pass to guard against Murong Yong, to Jinyang - among the eight tribes of Xianbei, only He Lanna was the king of ambush at that time, and he helped Tuobagui to quell the chaos in Pingcheng. Therefore, he completely broke with Tuoba Yi, and He Lanjun, who had a deep hatred with Tuoba Yi, absolutely did not dare to turn his back on him and join the rebel party.
News of the tens of thousands of troops on the western frontier of the Northern Wei Dynasty quickly spread throughout the world.Holding the battle report in his hand, Wu Lie went to look for Murong Yong non-stop, but as soon as he entered the Weiyang Palace, he bumped into the royal car that was about to go on a tour, which was vast and endless.
Wu Lie was anxious, so he ignored the etiquette and went straight to Longyu, but before he could get close, he was stopped by the Huben guards - now the soldiers of the Huben camp around Murong Yong have already exchanged blood, and there are not many of his old subordinates left Of course, no one would save face for an outdated general.Wu Lie couldn't get away from the left and right, so he could only kneel down with a thud and said: "Your Majesty! The latest news from the frontier, He Lanjun led his troops to evacuate Hangu Pass - now is a great time to raise troops to attack Wei!"
The waiter opened the curtain, revealing Murong Yong sitting upright in the car - he was wearing a black dragon robe and a white jade tiara on his head, and the twelve beads hanging from the front swayed slightly, concealing all the wandering expressions in his eyes , The gestures of hands and feet are already indescribable imperial demeanor and royal majesty.Mrs. Li wore a Queen's dress, and sat beside her solemnly. When she saw Wu Lie, she frowned and asked, "How dare you trespass in front of the imperial court!?"
Wu Lie has indeed been deprived of all his titles since he fell into Hangu, and he was reprimanded at home. However, he has never given up on the matter of destroying Wei's savior, and some time ago he went to Yanzhi Mountain under the order of Murong Yongmi to meet with Rouran Khan and Liang Wang Fujian formed an alliance, conscious of the possibility of this matter, and even more eagerly hoped that he could once again go into battle and enter the Wei State to take revenge.But another year has passed, and Murong Yong has no follow-up actions, and he has not even made any preparations for the battle. The whole Xiyan is calm, and there is no sign of a big war, why doesn't it make him anxious?Regardless of Mrs. Li's scolding, he took advantage of the gap, rushed to the front of the car and said, "Your Majesty! The last general is willing to lead the troops to break through, enter Wei, and rescue—"
Murong Yong suddenly interrupted his words, and said calmly: "It is not a good time to start a war with Wei again."
Wu Lie said anxiously: "It's not a good opportunity? Your Majesty! I've been saying this for two full years. Don't you know that sending troops a day later is more dangerous!"
Murong Yongnong raised his brows slightly, and looked at the former veteran general who was also weather-stained: "After many years of war, the treasury has been emptied, and the people's livelihood is in decline. It is time to recuperate, so that Dayan can enjoy long-term peace and stability. Will Yan fall into the quagmire of disputes again?"
Wu Lie widened his eyes and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly anger rose from his heart: "Your Majesty's majesty is probably because he has enjoyed the country for a long time, and he has fallen in love with this lofty dragon chair so much that he has forgotten the kindness and promise of the past!"
Li's heart suddenly felt dark. After all these days passed, although Murong Yong was still indifferent to her and had many precautions, he became more and more concerned about treating the emperor as Huang Chuigong, and it seemed that he was already very interested in rescuing Murong Chong. She gave up her mind and planned to be his emperor of Yan Anan. Even if she suffered a little bit of grievance, she would still be the supreme empress. Now, the mother of the country, how can she allow a poor family to bring up that unbearable past in broad daylight to shake the king's heart!
She secretly glanced at Murong Yong again, and seeing that there was no anger on his face, she boldly ordered the guards on the left and right to tie up Wu Lie who was talking nonsense, gag his mouth with numbness, push him down and execute him.
Wu Lie yelled and struggled endlessly, Murong Yong sat back as if he didn't hear anything, and the curtain was lowered, only to hear a faint order from inside: "After all, he is a loyal and loyal minister, let him live for a while!"
Murong Yong and Empress Li went on a tour of various places in the Guanzhong. They inspected the military affairs in the name of observing the people's sentiments.He came from a side branch of the Murong family. Although he was selected into the Xiaocai Army because of his birth and took refuge in the tent of Heyang King Murong Zhong as a general, he started from a humble beginning and took the lead in participating in dozens of battles since the founding of Xiyan. He was promoted by military merit.After Murong Zhong, whom Murong Yong had always supported, was executed in front of the former emperor, he stood out from the others in the Xiaocai army, and could even rely on his military power to join forces with the Li family back then to conspire to abolish the establishment - he knew very well Murong Yong is the immediate emperor, so his temperament may not be very tolerant. He has been able to tolerate him until now and even gave him preferential treatment. Isn't it because he has a large army in his hand, and because of his power, he squeezed away Murong Yong's confidant general Diao Yun, and personally stationed at Tongguan, the gate of Chang'an ?Therefore, he has always been extremely concerned about recruiting troops, buying horses, and training the army, and never gives up. Naturally, he is not afraid of the emperor's investigation later, and even whispered: "The emperor's visit here is like a guest, and he will treat him naturally, so why bother?" This means that Tongguan has been regarded as his own.
Therefore, when he heard that Murong Yong and his party had inspected the Bashang and Xinfeng military camps, and had praised Diao Yun who was stationed in Bashang and guarding Chang'an, he was rewarded a lot, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He was also late to pick up the driver, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he let the emperor watch the military exercise of all the soldiers - he deliberately wanted to let his tiger and wolf division also compete for the prize, so that the emperor would look at him with admiration.
For a general to show off his military power like this, it is a little bit irrelevant, but Murong Yong doesn't seem to care, instead he praises him for his ability to manage the army and his talent as a pillar, and he is greatly praised.
He also stayed in the barracks that night.Murong Yidougui felt that he was honorable, and because he was on his own territory, he didn't care about others, so he set up a grand banquet and gathered his cronies to celebrate.
It wasn't until three rounds of drinking that a waiter found Murong Yidou among the mess of cups and plates and said: "Your Majesty, I have invited the general."
Speaking of the Li family, that was Murong Yidougui's former ally, if she hadn't secretly tipped off the news, he wouldn't have known everything about the situation in the Beijing Palace.Therefore, after the internal and external joint efforts to elect the new king to the throne, Mrs. Li won the position of the middle palace, and since then she has become the mother of the world; and he has become the No.It's just that Murong Yidougui is not satisfied in his heart - the current emperor is only a collateral lineage when talking about blood, and only the former Murong Chong can be counted as a legitimate son, but what about people now?Being reduced to a prisoner without knowing his life or death, the one who sat on the dragon chair and had the last laugh was the former general Murong Yong——How could Murong Yidougui not be moved by such a lesson from the past?It's just that although Li Shi has become a queen, she has never been favored. Even Xinna's Princess Rouran is more holy than her. Although she has a prince, it is only a mother-child relationship in name. In the future, the intention of using her to seize power will be nothing, so he has to keep advising Murong Yong to expand the harem and find ways to install his own people into the palace as concubines. In this way, the alliance between him and Queen Li will inevitably go downhill and exist in name only. up.
But having said that, after all, he and the queen were allies who were closely related to each other, and they couldn't completely tear each other off. Now that Mrs. Li has summoned him, he might have an opportunity to teach them, so it's not a good idea. He left the table in a hurry.The aides around him casually asked him if he wanted to bring more soldiers to take care of him, and Murong Yidougui waved his hand - the empress would never harm him, not to mention that this is his home site, so why bother, instead of giving others a handle.
Murong Yidou returned to the tent, Li's familiar voice came from the brightly lit tent: "General, please come in."
He raised his hands and rubbed his face to make himself more awake, then raised his feet and stepped in. The heavy brocade curtain was lowered to isolate the vast night outside.
But he never expected to see Murong Yong standing with his hands behind his back.
Murong Yong was dressed in a Panlong Hu suit with a waist and lapels, he turned around and looked at him leisurely, with a half-smile and said: "General Kuiye is visiting Zitong, there must be some important military and state affairs to discuss?"
Murong Yidougui's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong, he immediately turned around and wanted to run away, suddenly eight guards in solid clothes sprang out from the dark all around to surround him, no matter how brave Yi Dougui was, he was unprepared , and also drunk and hazy, his fists were overwhelming and he was quickly subdued to the ground.He never expected that Murong Yong would kill him without warning at this moment, so he pressed his head firmly on the ground and repeated unwillingly: "Your Majesty, the general has merit and is not guilty! Why bind me? !"
Murong Yong's smile that was still on during the day was gone, and the gloomy brows flickered fiercely. He said coldly: "You are arbitrarily interfering in politics, privately conspiring to abolish the establishment, and you are not a minister, so it is not a crime? Don't you say that you came here at night?" Seeing the queen, the heart of disobedience is even more obvious!" He took a step closer, looked down at him who was struggling, lowered his voice and said: "What's more, I want to kill you, and I need a reason?"
Yi Dougui didn't expect that Murong Yong hated what happened in the past, but kept it hidden, even he was kept in the dark, just for today's unexpected hit!At the moment, he said with extreme fear: "Isn't the emperor afraid of the Mutiny in Tongguan?!"
Murong Yong raised the corners of his lips coldly: "Diao Yun has led the Bashang garrison to stand by starry night to monitor Tongguan—besides, the Xiaocai Army was created by me, and now that the rice has been cooked, how many people in the three armies will fight for a dead man?" Is the criminal minister willing to make trouble?"
The voice fell sonorously, Yi Dougui knew that he was going to die, so he decided to go all out, turned his head and rushed to the side Li Nan'er shouted: "Poisonous woman! You think you set up a trap to lure me into the account, and help you husband get rid of my thorn in my flesh. , he will look at you differently and get back together? Dreaming! You and I were both accomplices at the beginning, which one can we go now?! Today my body returns to my homeland, and his court body is the same-I am waiting for you underground! "
Murong Yidougui was quickly executed, and the whole army was informed, most of the generals were still stupefied and shocked, when they came back to their senses, everything was a foregone conclusion, and the attack would happen naturally.However, the resentful and vicious cursing before his death has been lingering in Li Shi's mind for a long time.
Murong Yong quickly cut through the mess, and eliminated Murong Yidou's loyal and cronies in the army overnight, and regained his military power. The rest of the generals would not dare to wait and see, and even secretly resisted the emperor's will, so they obeyed .When he was busy returning to the account at dawn, he naturally saw Li Shi's expression of worry and fear, and said comfortingly: "Zi Tong helped me eradicate the powerful ministers, and the credit belongs to the community, so don't worry too much."
Li Nan'er's heart was full of worries, and when he spoke, his tone was soft and soft: "The emperor once said that the relationship between you and me is like a fur, and the concubine will keep it in mind, so I risked the world's disgrace, shared the worries for the emperor, and for the prince. Jide, I don't dare to have the slightest selfishness. Even if I made any mistakes before, please forgive me now."
A sneer flashed across Murong Yong's eyes: "Don't worry, I understand."
Li Nan'er felt a little relieved - she was only trying to save Murong Yong's heart when she made such a bad move, she was really moved by her as the emperor, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and stretched out her hand towards him, but Murong Yong turned around , Can barely avoid: "As long as Zitong keeps his duty and lives in the harem forever, then Dayan's current empress and future empress dowager will always be alone with you."
Li Nan'er's heart turned cold when she heard the words, she could only stare blankly at his lonely back, and could not say another word.
Little did he know that Murong Yong was no better than others, but he grew up in a stable and hut, and he never forgot every detail of his grievances and hatreds. What's more, it's the man who occupied all his mind?He has been separated from him for three years, how can he not be in pain?But Murong Yong gritted his teeth and endured it bloodily, so that one day he would surely win—he could no longer bear the disappointment of getting what he wanted.
But now, when the time is right, he doesn't have to bear it anymore - this time, no one can hold him back!
In the late spring of April, among the Han people in the Central Plains, literati, Confucianists and Mohists have the custom of the Sishui Festival. They often sing and walk to the river to break willows and wash water, splashing for joy.Later, the Gaomen family often gathered three or five like-minded people on this day, and they had a lot of good stories through the ages.Even after traveling south, Wang Youjun and his friends sang poetry and wine at the Lanting Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River during the Sishui Festival. He was drunk and sexual, and splashed ink and left an unprecedented Lanting Preface.
In the third year of Emperor Yuanxing of Jin'an, even though there was a war in the north, in order to calm people's hearts, Xie Xuan, the head of the family who had not shown up for a long time, came forward to host the Sishui Festival in Qingliang Mountain.
In the Jiangfeng Pavilion on the top of the mountain, Xie Xuan was wearing a crane cloak, reclining on the brocade couch, quietly looking at the children of the aristocratic family who were excitedly talking about poetry and poetry—for these princes and grandchildren who are wealthy and well-clothed and well-fed Even if the country's major affairs are not, they are not as important as their talkative demeanor.
With a full house, who can succeed?Thinking of this, Xie Xuan's heart was racing, and he couldn't help coughing violently for a long time.Qing Cong hastily sent a warm towel, and said in a low voice: "I have prepared some soup and medicine, Mr. Xie, bring in some." Xie Xuan recovered his breath, but slowly waved his hand: "My every move is subject to attention, if this It is inappropriate to openly take medicine from time to time, which will sway people's hearts."
Qing Cong couldn't help frowning and sighing——Since the death of the Queen, although the appearance of the Grand Tutor Xie remained the same, the inside seemed to be getting more and more withered, and his body was not as good as before. There were four or five days of continuous medical treatment, but no imperial doctor could diagnose it. What kind of symptoms come.
Xie Xuan raised his sleeves to cover his lips, and his eyes fell on the couplets written on the pavilion inadvertently—a play of flowing water and a play of the moon, half into the river wind and half into the clouds, it was his own writing when he was young and proud, But now that I have nothing to spare, my heart is sad and my spirit is exhausted, and I have no interest.
Qing Cong offered hot tea again, Xie Xuan accepted it and saw Yang Ping rushing over, whispering a few words in his ear.Even if he is as calm as Xie Xuan, his complexion will change slightly—Xi Jin’s soldiers entered Qingzhou, intending to break through the siege of Guanggu after attacking the Beifu army with superior force; The north and the south are fighting together, and if we follow the old-fashioned plan, we will withdraw the Northern Expeditionary Army and transfer it to the Jiaozhou area to quell the chaos, and prevent them from crossing the Qiantang River to threaten Yangzhou, so as to protect the center of the Jin court.However, Xie Xuanhe deliberated for a long time, and finally opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Send Xie Hui, the governor of Jingzhou, to go south to quell the chaos; urge Liu Yu not to hesitate, and to take Guanggu with all his strength—Northern Wei can help Yan, and I can also increase troops! "
At that time, Guzang, the capital of Liang.
Yang Ding pushed the door and entered, just as Fu Jian, who was practicing martial arts, just stopped, and swung a long halberd in his hand with an arc of full moon light, and he paused heavily on the ground.
"Heavenly King, He Lanjun's troops are locked in a stalemate with Tuobayi's rebels in Jinyang; Xi Jin's troops went from Hebei to Shandong to aid Murong Chao, but they were blocked by Liu Yu's Beifu Army, and they couldn't get away for a while—Tuobagui now I am lonely, and only the three imperial guards of the direct line can be used in my hands, and fugitives and rioters are constantly appearing in the capitals and places of the Northern Wei Dynasty; the whole country is full of troops, and all counties are in chaos." Yang Ding reported the latest information to Fu Jian, At the end, he said: "The army preparing to enter the customs has already assembled and is on standby. We only need to wait for Shelun Khan to send troops as promised, and then we can plan big things."
Fu Jian raised his hand to hold the bowl, poured a lot of water to quench his thirst, and then walked towards Yang Ding step by step, his muscles undulating during his movements, like a vigorous and mighty male leopard ready to go.
But he didn't face Yang Ding's words directly, instead he suddenly asked: "Your boy seems to have just passed his first birthday? I forgot about the day of the banquet and was never there." Yang Ding didn't know why Fu Jian suddenly mentioned this, He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's the dog's birthday, why bother the Heavenly King to remember it!"
Fu Jian paused, looking at Yang Ding, who had passed his forties, how long ago, the man who had sincerely made friends with him, and said each other like Big Brother Fu, had already respectfully changed his address?The stupefied young man who dared to act bravely and go forward has long been forged by the world to become mature and stable, but he is no longer as sincere and candid as before-but isn't this what he deliberately cultivated over the years?Every time he left, the general ordered Yang Ding to supervise the country. No matter how honest and straightforward a person shouldered the heavy burden, he had to wear a majestic and cold mask after many years.He was silent for a while, and finally turned around and took out a red kit and handed it to Yang Ding: "As an elder, you should give your nephew a little gift to meet the new year. You can accept it. It's just a thought."
Yang Ding opened it and saw that there was a statue of the birth of Buddha made of gold, pointing to the sky and the earth. It is said that after Sakyamuni was born, he walked seven steps to the southeast, northwest, and pointed to the sky with his right hand and pointed to the ground with his left, like a lion. Roaring: "I am the only one in the sky and on the earth." The implication is thought-provoking.Yang Ding saw that the handwork was not very fine but the knives and chisels were majestic, he thought for a while, and hurriedly knelt down: "The king of heaven casts the Buddha with his own hands, what can I do—"
Fu Jian interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said leisurely: "This skill was learned when he and he were hiding in Maiji Mountain in Liangzhou that year. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Now there are grottoes everywhere on Maiji Mountain. There is a forest of Buddha statues, but there is no news of Yiren, and I don't know where he is." He paused, then smiled lightly, "Yang Ding, put it away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have this opportunity again in the future."
Yang Ding was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what was happening and looked at Fu Jian in shock: "Heavenly King! You—you don't mean to—" You don't mean to abdicate when the war ends!
Fu Jian looked at him: "You have experienced enough, today is not what it used to be, I have long intended to pass on to you in the past few days—"
Yang Ding hastily resigned, but Fu Jian said: "The world is busy, tens of years, two generations of people, don't you know who can last forever? I have already seen it. I just want the people under my rule to live and work in peace and contentment. I have no shame in my heart." ——But now for my own selfishness, I have to go to war again, it is a crime after all. Soldiers are fierce, relying on martial arts will not last long, you will succeed in the future, you must be careful." Raising his hand stopped Yang Ding and followed He seemed to have made up his mind, and continued in a deep voice: "There is a sentence that has been hidden in my heart for ten years, I am afraid that if I don't say it this time, there will be no chance in the future - Back then, I actually knew that you had him in your heart, but I used it despicably This huge family and country bound you to the land of Liangzhou, and told you that the mountains and the rivers are short, and I finally stopped thinking about it... I still owe you an apology."
Yang Ding looked up in astonishment, and blurted out: "Brother Fu!" He was anxious to explain, but couldn't speak, his whole face was flushed, and it took him a long time to hold back a broken sentence: "That's already a thing of the past...not to mention , He has a magnanimous mind, and he treats me as a brother from the beginning to the end, and he will have no regrets in this life-and-death friendship."
Fu Jian wanted to say something more, but Yang Ding suddenly returned to his senses, bowed his head resolutely, and said decisively: "Now I only have my beautiful wife, noble son and even the people of Liangzhou in my heart!"
This time, Fu Jian was in a daze for a moment, and then he smiled wryly: "You are the one who is open-minded after all. Either way, whether it is right or wrong will turn heads—this is the last final battle of my life, Fu Jian."
"Yes! I immediately started the pre-war preparations and mobilization matters - put all the power of the country, and strive for victory!" Yang Ding shuddered, and while bowing in agreement, he forcibly swallowed the long-lost bitterness in his heart.
In the late summer of 403 A.D., Murong Yong broke Hangu and went to war against Wei. The defenders along the way were invincible, and towns and cities all over the country fell.Tuobagui had no choice but to order Xi Jin, who was assisting Nan Yan, to turn around and return north immediately, and intercept the invading land at full speed. Xi Jin marched day and night, and then he was able to catch up with the Yan army and fell into a bitter battle in the Central Plains.On the other side, Liu Yu looked at the right time and captured the Nanyan envoy who had reported back to the city from the Wei army's barracks alive. "In order to disintegrate the determination of the Nanyan soldiers who were standing in the city for help, Murong Chao, the leader of Nanyan, was furious and complained endlessly.
But Tuoba Gui couldn't care about him now.In the hall, he swept away the letters and battle reports full of cases, and yelled at several counselors in a rage: "Why hasn't there been any good news from Xi Jin?! He occupied a dangerous pass and blocked Xiyan, why did he not win!" Walking back and forth for a few quick steps, he stretched out his sleeves and shouted: "One more order, let He Lanjun step up and capture Jinyang! If I don't see Tuobayi's leader within ten days, I will kill him!"
Chao Ru remained silent, thinking that Tuobagui was really angry and confused—the Helan clan was already the only backbone force in the eight tribes of Xianbei who clearly supported Tuobagui, and He Lanna was still in an important position in Pingcheng. Ba Gui threatened He Lanjun, who was fighting hard on the front line, to kill his nine clans?
Apparently Tuobagui hadn't really lost consciousness yet, and he drank back to Xiaohuangmen who was about to deliver the decree, and Chao Ru said cautiously: "Now it's really pressing the gourd and starting the ladle. For the present plan, the emperor must not fall into it. Divide the troops, and be led by the nose by the forces of all parties, so we must concentrate our forces to defeat each of them."
The veins on Tuobagui's forehead throbbed, and he said furiously, "They all want to kill me! Just come together! I am ordered by the sky, the Buddha is the incarnation, I am not afraid of them!"
Another minister thought about it and asked doubts in his heart: "It's just... the border has been at peace for a long time, I don't know how this Murong Yong suddenly launched a trouble?"
The speaker was unintentional, but it made the two people in the hall tremble in their hearts. At this moment, Zhongchang Attendant Zong Qing rushed into the Qingjin Hall and whispered a few words in his ears.Tuobagui then ordered all the ministers to leave, and ordered that the matters discussed today should not be leaked, Chao Ru walked at the end, and looked back casually, just in time to see Tuobagui took out Xiaoyao Pills, poured out a handful, carelessly Press it into your mouth.
When Ren Zhen entered, Tuoba Gui had already calmed down, and he no longer had the tyrannical look of a ghost just now, but his breath was weak, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
Ren Zhen didn't mention those bad things, and tried to find some light topics to talk with him, and even coaxed him to eat some food, the waiter stepped forward to remove the cups and saucers, still chatting with him everywhere, But after a long while there was no response, Ren Zhen looked intently, only to see Tuoba Gui who was sitting opposite him sitting upright with his head down and his eyes slightly closed, unexpectedly fell asleep from exhaustion at some point.
Ren Zhen was about to look away, but suddenly his throat choked up - Tuoba Gui's temples, who had just arrived and stood in their prime, had already been stained with gray out of thin air.
At this time, another servant ran up to the hall with a letter in his hand. Ren Zhen immediately turned his head and hissed his lips with a vertical finger, signaling him not to wake Tuoba Gui. The servant hurriedly put the urgent battle report that had just been delivered on the case. Weiwei resigns.
Ren Zhen looked around, and saw a shocking line of words in ink on the newspaper: Rouran Xiliang Allied Forces [-] troops left Yanzhi in the east, passed Yinshan Mountain, and came straight to Shengle, the front line is urgent, begging for reinforcements!
