I'm not Murong Chong

"I came here on a whim. I wanted to have a joke with the general. I didn't expect the general to recognize him right away." Ren Zhen said casually as if joking, and took the purple ribbon in his hand. The golden seal was returned, but the wind in his eyes drifted to the dagger that fell to the ground.Thinking about when he first arrived, his martial arts from Murong Yong, Wen from Yao Zijun, his moves and martial arts were all exactly the same, so he couldn't hide it from others.

Murong Yong didn't reach out to pick it up, but knelt down and said: "The purple ribbon and golden seal are all given by the emperor, even if they are taken back, how dare I take this position again?" The golden seal with purple ribbon that thousands of people flock to throws it on the case at will, then bends down to pick up the dagger, inlaid with gold, inlaid with jade, and cut iron like mud. .In the blink of an eye, two years passed in a blink of an eye—no, it wasn't.Ren Zhen was a little dazed: This dagger should have been given to his younger brother Murong Chong, the king of Zhongshan when Murong Hong, the king of Jibei, raised his army. , and later he gave the dagger to Murong Yong because Li Daitao froze inexplicably.The reason why he is willing to carry this treasure close to his body must be because this is Murong Chong... the only thought left to him.

Ren Zhen's expression was numb, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling, he played with the dagger and said to Murong Yong, "Tie Fu Ren Zhi - I was just joking with you at that time, how could you take it seriously?" Is the name engraved on it?"

Murong Yong's heart trembled - Gein Ren Zhen's tone tonight was uncharacteristically, he was as intimate and casual as when the two were in E Fang back then, he raised his head in disbelief, and was looking into Ren Zhen's dark eyes.

"Hey, say it again." Ren Zhen squatted down with a smile, and looked at him at the same level, "Why was it named 'Renzhi' that day?"

The two of them had laughed and talked about that public case countless times in their spare time, but now it sounds like a lifetime away.Knowing that something was wrong and different from usual, Murong Yong was stunned and murmured: "Entering the city alone, I will destroy Qin for you. It's for 'Renzhi'."

As if he was recalling the years of war, Ren Zhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "At that time, the army was in turmoil, and it was easy for you to replace me, but you still let me sit on the throne, so now there are thousands of people. You want to rebel against me." , I don’t believe it from the bottom of my heart.” Ren Zhen changed the subject slowly, and said, “The soldiers and horses under your command have not changed at all these days, that’s good—no matter what happens between you and me, this is the bottom line, Dayan Fuxing, there must be no disturbance at all."

Murong Yong's agitated mood calmed down. In the chilly spring, Ren Zhen deliberately dispatched soldiers frequently, just to force him to express his position and find out his truth. If he dared to mobilize troops, even if it was just in case, he might launch a coup immediately and deal with him like Han Yanduan!Even if nothing happens in the end, it has nothing to do with trust or feelings, it's just because he feels that he wants to guard the hard-won Dayan, and when the strong enemy is not eliminated, he can't make trouble for Xiao Qiang to fight again.In the end, he, a powerful minister, said, "There is no change in the soldiers and horses under his command, it's very good", shouldn't he be relieved and thank the Lord Long En?

Ren Zhen got up with a smile, sat on the bed closest to the couch, and said to Murong Yong: "Get up, sit down. Let's talk about serious business - take back your seal, I'll just play tricks on you at will, don't worry about it." Seriously. If you don’t become Shang Shuling or become a general, I will really jump.” Yan Bi twitched the corners of his mouth and pointed at Murong Yong: “I know what you have been twisting in your heart before——Yang Ding is Di I'm a surrender, I'm not in a daze. The Third Battalion of Xiaoqi is the foundation of the Murong family's founding. Don't you tell me that I'm really stupid enough to give it to an outsider at will? Shuming, I'm angry at you for underestimating my emotions. As for letting Uncle Huang leads the troops, one is knowing that you will put the overall situation first and not selfish, so he ordered the third battalion of Xiaoqi to help him with all his strength; the other is that there are more important things that you have to do yourself." Ren Zhen was silent for a moment, with a low voice Said, "Sit in Chang'an for me, I want to go to Guzang City in person, and meet Lu's father and son for a while!" The wick soaked in candle oil suddenly exploded, and Murong Yong's expression flickered in this flickering It became blurred in the swaying light and shadow, and he replied flatly: "The emperor sent Fu Jian back to Long in person in white dragon fish clothes, but you can rest assured that you will leave all the political affairs of this capital to me?"

It is impossible for any emperor to change his face, but Ren Zhen smiled: "Now that the two fronts are fighting, the situation is stalemate. I must win reinforcements from the Lu family in Liangzhou. But I am afraid that there will be no one in the center." The whole situation is turbulent. After thinking about it, I can only rest assured that Chang'an can only be entrusted to you to sit in charge-you and I can't write two surnames in one stroke. Are they my brothers? Besides, if you want to replace him, you have a chance long ago. No, there will be no second thoughts in the future."

Murong Yong listened intently with a blank face, but his heart was completely frozen to numb bit by bit: Ren Zhen's words and deeds were reasonable and reasonable, a model of a gentleman, only he could see clearly and his teeth were cold - he was acting Murong Chong!Playing a role that he is most taboo and never wants to look like!Murong Yong swallowed unconsciously, only felt a pain in his throat, although the person in front of him was still smiling and warm, but it seemed that countless sharp swords could shoot out from between the lines, cutting into his heart.

It's all good.The generals of the Northern Expedition and the alliance with Lu Tun and Yao have already been calculated.Even Yang Ding was injured and Tongguan was in an emergency because he deliberately delayed the time to take advantage of the situation.

Ren Zhen, you learned the way of the emperor too quickly and got into it too deeply. You are not Murong Chong at all.

Ren Zhen was still eloquent, but Murong Yong shot without warning and suddenly grabbed Ren Zhen's wrist.Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile: "Shu Ming, you're so excited."

However, Murong Yong stubbornly increased his strength, clamped Ren Zhen tightly, approached him, and said word by word: "You and I have never been brothers! Ren Zhen, if I say you are his substitute at the beginning, but Up to now, you are you and he is him, each going his own way and never returning home!"

Ren Zhen's smile showed signs of cracking—he couldn't forget the "Brother Chong" that he blurted out sincerely when he was distracted and in love with the man in front of him with all his heart!Looking back on the past from now on, it is full of embarrassment and hypocrisy!He has been a self-proclaimed amorous playboy since his previous life. The first time he wanted to love someone wholeheartedly, it became a joke—or a shame.

He withdrew his kind and decent smile, and said coldly: "Murong Yong, the choice you have now is to help the monarch and his ministers get along with each other, or to stand on the sidelines and become my enemy!"

Murong Yong was stunned, the pair of eyes close at hand were stubborn and indifferent, staring at each other for a long time, he finally heard that he stiffly chose the former - they all knew that as long as he was still Murong Yong, he couldn't and didn't want to have a second one choose.

Ren Zhen finally reached his goal, but his heart was empty and empty, with a faint soreness and pain.He also doesn't understand why he has come to this point until now, but he has no arrows to turn back. No matter the past life or the present life, he has walked every step without regretting it.He shook his head and wanted to leave.

The moment the door was opened, Murong Yong suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Ren Zhen, whether you believe it or not, Murong Yong will never turn against you in this life!"

Ren Zhen froze and kept walking, only turned his back to him and said, "If you can do it, then you can say it."

This promise is to Ren Zhen, not Murong Chong?He closed the door and hid in the cold night with a wry smile - he didn't have the confidence to believe it again.

In March of the second year of Gengshi in Dayan, Murong Chong, the leader of the Western Yan Kingdom, worshiped Murong Heng, Duke of Wu'an, as his commander, and led [-] elite soldiers westward from Chang'an, along the north of Jingbei, and went straight to Xiaoguan. The base camp of the city - Guyuan City.The biggest battle since the founding of Qin Xiyan began.

Also today, the gate of Chang'an Zhicheng was opened at the same time, and Yang Ding led five thousand Weiyuan soldiers to file out from the three-foot-wide middle gate, and quietly went east to Tongguan to deter Houyan's army.

Amidst the fleet of chariots and horses, another hundred elite cavalry came out and reined in their horses at the side entrance. All the officers and men on the horse were dressed in green armor and gray clothes, which looked unremarkable at first glance.The leader wore a helmet that completely covered his nose and mouth, only revealing a pair of black eyes that turned darkly, and his war horse snorted impatiently in the billowing dust with its red body and white hooves.The man stretched out his hand and caressed the horse's mane casually, still looking into the distance: "The strange Taoist said that the Wei and Wei are distinct—two armies, one going north along the Jing River and the other going east along the Wei River, there is absolutely no possibility of meeting."

The other tall man who was riding with him snorted when he heard the words: "Chang'an city is full of elites, leaving an empty city for Murong Yong to guard, you can really rest assured."

The man above the ochre-white turned his head to look at him: "The enemies on all sides of Xiyan, the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty in the south is busy fighting among the clans and let's not talk about him, I will all have a large army to fight against the Yan of the Northern Yao and Qindong, is there one left? ——Aren’t I going to follow ‘His Majesty the Heavenly King’ to meet the enemy in the west—the Lord of Liangzhou who occupied Longxi, the Lu family and his son? Why can’t I rest assured?”

Fu Jian had always been annoyed that he was transferring Yang Ding away, and wanted to go to his right-hand man on purpose, so he sneered at this moment: "Didn't the emperor make an alliance with Lu Guang and join forces to attack Yao Qin? Why do you still call him an enemy?"

Ren Zhen stretched out a finger and shook it: "Lei Lei Leu, I have to escort you until you enter Guzang, and Lu Guang will come forward to inspect the goods, and the transaction is successful-after that, the two kingdoms of Yan and Liang will be regarded as turning enemies into friends. alliance."

The "good guy" coughed fiercely, and reminded himself for the one hundred and one time not to quarrel with this ruffian again: "You mean, Lu Zuan, who has arrived at the Great Earthquake Pass, doesn't really accept me?"

Ren Zhen lazily rolled up the reins: "Lv Guang's eldest son, Miss Su Lai, is the heart of Miss Su Lai, the life of a girl, whether he is sincere, and you will know if he is gone?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled the rein and waved his hand Yiluo: "—Let's go!" Zhebai let out a long hiss, raised his hooves, and saw the lone rider galloping away first.

On the tower of the Zhicheng Gate, Murong Yong stood facing the wind in purple clothes, staring expressionlessly at the gradually receding Huangsha Zhengchen, and said, "Diao Yun."

General Diao Yun clasped his fists and bowed his head, his armor clattered and promised: "The last general is here!"

"The order is passed on, the emperor is sick, and has left Beijing to visit Zhang Guoshi in Huashan, Xiyue, to pray for blessings. All court meetings will be cancelled, and all memorials will be sent to Huashan through the General's Mansion; Chang'an City has entered a state of curfew and martial law. Food, grass, troops and horses are not allowed to enter. Come out, all the Xiaoqi Battalion staying in Chang'an are preparing for the battle, and the battle reports will be sent to Beijing urgently within [-] miles, and those who neglect and delay will be severely dealt with by the military law!" He gave all the orders in a low voice, slowly but forcefully, but his right hand was hidden under the brocade sleeve. fist--

Now that the matter has come to this, then do as you wish.

In addition, although Murong Heng took command of the Northern Expedition for the first time, he did not dare to be careless. He marched all the way day and night in a hurry, and within seven days his troops knocked on Xiaoguan. It's time for the spring water to thaw again, and the Jingshui River comes out here in the south, rushing and turbulent.Such a side faces the water and is surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a natural barrier. Although it is not a cliff, it can be called steep and majestic.Also afraid of Yao Shuode, the famous general of the later Qin Dynasty, Murong Heng did not dare to attack the city rashly, so he had to find a water source and set up camp not far away.

Every day, he ordered Qianfeng Yingguan to fight in front of the pass, scolding and drinking, and whipped the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Yao Qin Guojun, but the soldiers in the later Qin Dynasty in the pass turned a deaf ear, not to mention fighting, even scolding each other. Simply close the door and ignore it completely.

Murong Zhong was young and impatient, eager for success, how could he endure such a long and suffocating confrontation, he believed that Yao Qin Dingran was unprepared for the pre-emptive attack, and suggested that his father take the opportunity to directly launch a general attack. But he hesitated and refused to agree——Since ancient times, those who attacked Xiaoguan had suffered heavy casualties. Although Murong Yong lent elite cavalry soldiers without further ado, he was cautious and cherished his feathers, fearing that the loss would be too much to explain to him.

Murong Zhong got annoyed after going back and forth, took advantage of his father's favor, and ignored the military order, ordered 3000 troops to attack Xiao Guan, before reining in the horses, he raised his copper gilt knife and shouted: "My surname is Yao! Outside of Xinping City, you are lucky not to fall into my hands! If you don’t open the door today to welcome Master Wang into the city, I will slaughter the city for three days after breaking through! Capture Yao Chang, the shrunken old turtle alive, and let everyone eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!” He was under control when he was in Chang'an City, and he had to swallow his anger when he was suppressed by his father and brother. At this moment, it is rare to break the precept, and he yelled vehemently. Generally let him scold.

In the end, Murong Zhong had no choice but to retreat, and after he went back, he had a good meal of prodding, although Murong Heng did not punish him for acting in disregard of military orders, he still shook his head and refused.The next day, Murong Zhong held back his anger and went to provoke again, Xu Shi scolded hard, then he saw Xiao Guan opened the side door, and a young general flew out, wanting to fight Murong Zhong, he was beheaded within fifty rounds Get off now.Murong Zhong leaned over and lifted the head of the enemy general, tied the blood-spattered braids to the arrowhead, drew the string with the bow, and shot upwards——as the saying goes, "Xianbei sons on horseback", the men of Murong's family are all first-class martial arts Surprisingly, that Murong Zhong was able to make a copper-gilt knife with infinite power, so he shot the arrow that dropped his head up the tower with a whizzing sound, and firmly nailed it to the cowhide drum in the middle, causing a commotion. uproar.

Murong Zhong retracted his bow and returned to his horse, pointed away, laughed and shouted: "Yao family boys! Let's fight again! Could it be that you're scared out of your wits?!" It's like a cold pool of stagnant water.

When Murong Heng heard that his son "won the first battle", he hastily went to Chang'an to ask for credit for Murong Zhong, and gritted his teeth angrily at Mu Chong, who was also in the vanguard battalion, and said behind his back: "Bah! I heard about the great general of the Hou Qin before he went out to fight. Yao Shuode is amazing! He hasn't started yet, so he has won the first battle!" However, he spoke softly, and he was squeezed out in the Xianbei army, so no one would listen to him.

After Murong Zhong's small victories day after day, he was sure that Yao Shuode was not in Xiaoguan, so he planned to go out of the empty city in order to delay the time. At dawn one day, taking advantage of Xiaoguan's fatigued defense, he gathered [-] elite soldiers from the Chinese army, and suddenly launched a fierce attack, intending to make one move. break through.

Under the cover of the throwing of the crossbow machine, the ladders were set up on the city wall one after another. The densely packed Yan army swarmed up the city wall. Hundreds of old and weak Qin soldiers who were caught off guard on the city wall seemed to be frightened and stupid. Like bees and ants gathering together, they clamored and climbed with all their strength, all wanting to compete for the breakthrough.At that time, the drums of war suddenly sounded, and hundreds of bows and crossbows suddenly protruded from the caves at various tricky angles from the Qianren mountain walls on both sides of Xiaoguan. The overwhelming rain of white arrows hit the sky, and all the Yan soldiers screamed and fell from the ladder of the city tower, falling into unrecognizable lumps of flesh and blood.

Murong Zhong turned pale with shock, he knew it was a trick, and when he was about to withdraw his troops and retreat, he heard a horse's hoof kicking up behind him, a warrior general leaped on his horse and slashed his saber, blocking the way, it was the queen Qin Hu general Yao Shuode!He led an army to ambush the elite cavalry who had endured enough anger and killed them red-eyed. Taking advantage of the chaos, they divided and attacked Murong Zhong's defeated army.Murong Zhong was forced to retreat to Wating Gorge, and had no choice but to forcefully cross the river. At this time, it was the spring flood, and the water volume at the outlet of the Jing River increased overnight.

After this battle, more than half of the Yan army's elite soldiers and horses were lost, and the casualties were heavy. It was Murong Zhong himself, and it was Murong Heng who finally sent Mu Chong and other generals to fight to the death, and managed to snatch him out of the encirclement.

The victory report was immediately sent back to Xiaoguan Xingyuan - the crown prince of the later Qin Dynasty, Yao Xing, had already quietly arrived at Xiaoguan a few days ago. At this moment, he pressed the battle report and said with a sneer, "Okay! Since those Xianbei white captives really dare to die, let them be fulfilled!"

A pair of slender and white hands stretched out, and pulled out the battle report, slightly surprised: "Twenty thousand troops, as expected. But I can't figure it out, how could it be... Murong Heng is in command, and Murong Zhong is the general?"

"A few months ago, you asserted that Murong Chong must send troops to attack me and Qin after going north to east. You were right. Those Xianbei white captives would never have thought that they would die. We had already prepared for a fight to the death before winter came!" Yao Xing Glancing at the visitor, a soft look subconsciously appeared between the eyebrows: "You have worked with Murong Heng for quite a long time in Efang, so you must know the father and son well?"

Yao Song curled his lips: "Murong Heng is honest and prudent but lacks authority, he is not a handsome talent - as for Murong Zhong, he is just another Zhao Kuo! And Xiaoguan is different from Xinping, since ancient times, the deep valley is dangerous and impenetrable; Wait, even Murong Yong and Yang Ding are not guaranteed victory, let alone Murong Heng and Murong Zhong, father and son who are anxious to return to the court after making meritorious deeds?"

Yao Xing beamed and said: "Since Zijun said so, this battle is definitely won?" After speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his slender wrist: "You are sitting in Xiaoguan, and your second uncle is leading troops outside. All those white captives will be buried here! At that time, I will beg my father to grant you a ministerial order, and go one step further!" Yao Song shook his head slightly, and said with a light smile: "How can the Shangshuling of the later Qin Dynasty get my turn? And this time The second victory was due to the fact that the eldest brother was in charge of the center and commanded properly, so what does it have to do with Zijun?"

Yao Xing propped himself up, tilted his head and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Does Gu still want to ask for some reward for himself? Besides, in time, Gu's Shang Shuling, who else can I give you?" The tone of the people and ministers, because after Qin Guojun Yao Chang lost Xinping and retreated to the north in embarrassment years ago, he has been lingering in the sick bed, mentally weak, and difficult to govern, so most of the country's military affairs are handed over to Prince Yao Xing. Everyone in Guyuan City knew that Yao Xing was already the uncrowned king of the Later Qin Dynasty.

Yao Song pursed his lips and glanced lightly: "Brother, speak carefully."

But Yao Xing grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, suddenly said after a long while: "Zi Jun, isn't Gu not being 'cautious' enough to you these days?"
