I'm not Murong Chong

Ren Zhen watched helplessly the messy situation in front of him.

Diao Yun, who was still staying on the east bank, knelt down and cried: "The general was the first to rush up to the ice in order to chase the thief Yao...Who knows that Yao Jun crossed the river safely. As soon as our army went up, the ice dam began to crack... "

Ren Zhen bowed his head and said angrily, "How can the lord general be saved if he is in danger! Do you think I dare not punish you for your crime?!" Diao Yun was frightened, and he hugged Ren Zhen's calf and said, "It's not the last general who just sits and watches. Ignore it, because the river ice becomes weaker as it goes to the center, and our heavy armored cavalry can't get through it at all!"

Ren Zhen pulled him away with a whip, and stepped on the stirrup: "Get out of the way! I will save it myself!" The ocher white man hissed and his front hooves flew into the air, but he was suddenly grabbed by the rein-"Let go!" Ren Zhen For the first time, he spoke harshly to Fu Jian, and Fu Jian squeezed his arm tightly with one hand, saying, "The ice dam is now torn apart and overwhelmed, and going with one more person will only increase the danger! Are you trying to save him?" I still want to kill him!"

Diao Yun was stunned on the spot, he didn't seem to expect that he could speak, let alone that he dared to speak to Emperor Yan like that!

Ren Zhen pointed at the river, and said anxiously: "Then what are we going to do! Why don't we just stand by and watch!"

Fu Jian looked at the sky and said: "Order all the cavalry on the river to get off their horses, don't run and jump to refuel, and wait in place. At the same time, go to Hengcheng Ferry to collect sheepskin rafts for backup." Ren Zhen turned back and ordered: "Follow the order!" He pointed to the generals again: "Stand by the shore and wait! Don't relax! Just in case Yao's army changes!"

Seeing that Ren Zhen had calmed down and was able to take charge, Fu Jian was relieved.In less than a cup of tea, dozens of sheepskin rafts have been quickly prepared. Each boat is equipped with ten soldiers, armed with bows, crossbows, swords, shields and spears. They are specially guarded against the Yao army's sneak attack and guard an experienced old boatman. , carefully paddled into the water, and broke through the ice.

Fearing that the Yan army would be too powerful, the soldiers of the Yao army all retreated to the west bank, watching the Yan army's ships gradually approaching the besieged Murong Yong and others.Di Bozhi couldn't help being angry and angry: "Should we just let them go like this? These white captives occupied Xinping and Guyuan successively, and after tiring me, Qin lost troops and lost land!" Yao Xing's face was also livid: "I was forced by them alone Don’t you hate that you have to hide in this northern frontier?! But now Murong Yong is still out of range of our army, even if all arrows are fired, he will not die!”

Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, something unexpected happened suddenly, another huge ice ridge rushed down from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and along the surging water flow, it pushed aside a large amount of broken ice on the river surface and slammed into the ice dam erected by Murong Yong and others. above!

Murong Yong swayed violently, stepped quickly to stand, and stabilized his figure, but the war horse that had been following him for many years jumped up in fright, slipped with one hoof, fell into the ice cave, and was swept away by the cold current instantly neighing!While the ice slag was splashing, the ice dam under Murong Yong's feet cracked again, and he was driven by that force straight to the west bank!

Murong Yong let out a low cry, and flung out his Fengming gun, his sharp eyes and hands quickly got stuck between the two big ice floes, and he managed to barely stop drifting.He raised his head, seeing Ren Zhen's anxious and shocked expression getting closer and then far away, and it was so close.

Yao Xing came back to his senses the fastest, he couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart: "God helped me!" Dozens of chain bows and crossbows on the bank all turned to Murong Yong, he raised his head and sleeved his hands, raised his mouth and yelled loudly. Said: "General Murong! You really cast yourself into a trap! This chain of crossbow arrows was invented when you attacked Chang'an back then, and it is not an insult to you to die under these arrows today!" After finishing speaking, he shot a round himself , and deliberately shot one of the Yan soldiers beside Murong Yong like a cat playing with a mouse. The opponent hit five arrows in a row and fell down the glacier screaming. Yao Xing slapped his head in frustration: "Sorry, I'm not good at shooting, Missed it."

Ren Zhen yelled angrily on the raft: "Yao Xing! If you dare to attack, I will cross the river and slaughter your entire city!"

Yao Xing sneered and said, "Don't tell me you will let me go if I don't kill Murong Yong?! My Empress Qin originally occupied Shuofang and Guanzhong in Bingzhou, and now you have swallowed up Shuofang! Isn't this enmity? Immortal!?"

"I will!" Ren Zhen looked cold and flustered, "As long as you don't shoot the arrow, I will retreat to the south and rule across the river with you!" When these words came out, everyone was shocked. To save Murong Yong, he was willing to make such a sacrifice, to give up the victory that was so hard to come by!

Yao Xing laughed: "Murong Chong, you Bailu have always been capricious, and you can count on what you say?! Even if I shoot Murong Yong to death with random arrows now, you will not be able to cross the Yellow River! The four main canals diverting the Yellow River in Huaiyuan City, the big deal is to divert water. Di, die with you!"

Fu Jian knew that Yao Xing had no way out so far, and there was indeed a possibility of a last stand, so he pulled Ren Zhen aside: "He's telling the truth! Calm down!"

Ren Zhen waved his hand away, and the fine falling snow stained his eyebrows and eyelashes, and he seemed to be begging a bit: "I can give you Guyuan again, and the two countries will take Xiaoguan as the boundary for a hundred miles away. !"

This thunderbolt instantly wiped out human form and spirit, everyone thought Murong Chong was crazy!The two countries have fought wars for several years, but it was like a child's play for him!

Murong Yong suddenly turned around, took out the last feathered arrow from behind, folded the arrow, took another thing from his waist and tied it to the shaft, and shot at Ren Zhen with a bow - the arrow sang through the air and sank into the arrow. On the flagpole, Bai Susu's arrow tail swayed unceasingly.Ren Zhen followed the prestige, and his heart was crushed in an instant - the piece of peace jade hung on the arrow, his name, his peace, were all crumbling in the fierce wind.Murong Yong looked at him quietly, and suddenly bent his knees at this moment, knelt on the ice and kowtowed to Ren Zhen. They had known each other for three years, cried, laughed, loved and hated, all of which were burned in his heart. In the bottom of my heart, there is nothing to forget, indelible and nothing to eliminate.

He stood up and said softly, "Ren Zhen, be safe."

"No!" Ren Zhen yelled frantically, and Murong Yong raised the corners of his lips lightly, and resolutely jumped into the sobbing and icy Yellow River water!

This is the second time he has faced his life and death moment, but this time he witnessed it with such helpless and bloody eyes!

Ren Zhen went completely crazy, and immediately wanted to jump out of the sheepskin raft, but was held back by Fu Jian: "Calm down! The glacier is so fast that you can't save him even if you enter the water! Murong Yong doesn't want you to make unnecessary sacrifices!"

Ren Zhen's eyes were red: "What is meaningless! Do you want me to watch him commit suicide like you?! In fact, you have never forgotten the revenge of destroying Chang'an!" Fu Jian's eyes shrank suddenly, and he was stabbed instantly. His body was bruised, but he still stubbornly grabbed his arm and refused to let go: "I taught you that those who achieve great things do not hesitate to make small things—don't forget your identity!"

Ren Zhen smiled miserably and shook his head: "You are all wrong, I... I can't achieve great things... Without him, I wouldn't be on the throne, and I don't want to think about so many past and future events!"

"Then I'll go!" Fu Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I'm better at water than you——"

Ren Zhen was stunned, and suddenly pushed him away: "No! You go back to Liangzhou—" Fu Jian was pushed away by him unexpectedly, and bumped into the boatman behind him who was concentrating on the helm—the boatman was over [-] years old and supported by experience When the boat was crossing the river, how could it survive being bumped by such a tall man, and suddenly staggered and fell, the wormwood loosened from his hand, and fell into the water, the whole sheepskin raft immediately swirled on the river surface, Fu Jian hurriedly put more force on his feet, and went down As soon as he pressed down, he stabilized the raft with a jackhammer, and the icy river water flooded over his feet in an instant. He shouted, "Don't act rashly—" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of falling into the water behind him. He dared not Turning around in confidence, the place where Ren Zhen was standing was already empty.

In an instant, his pain was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Fu Jian lifted his foot and stepped on it, shattering the whole tightly bound sheepskin raft with his internal force. Amid the exclamation of the crowd, he grabbed a sheepskin pouch floating around and jumped into the ice-piercing Yellow River water!

The icy river water instantly flooded his nose and mouth, causing him to have cramp in the cold.Fu Jian didn't dare to relax, as soon as he saw Ren Zhen's figure, he immediately pushed the sheepskin bag and swam forward. At the same time, he turned around underwater, stretched his arms forward, and barely grabbed Ren Zhen's clothes , the other party struggled slightly, and spit out a series of bubbles from his mouth.

Oops... Fu Jian frowned, the drenched robe hung on his body like a heavy weight, he tore off the obstructing robe, kicked his legs, slowly floated up, dragged the person into his arms, and lowered his head Holding his breath, he passed the sheepskin bag in his hand, but at this moment, there was a series of crackling sounds on the surface of the river, and Fu Jian looked up in the water, and there was another big piece of ice. Under the pressure on the face, it shattered to pieces, and was swept by the raging river and slapped them violently!Fu Jian hurriedly hugged Ren Zhen and turned around for half a circle, barely avoiding it. Unexpectedly, another piece of broken ice hit him from the other side, and his movements were slow underwater. He was startled, and when he turned his head to look, it was Ren Zhen who pushed him away, and he himself took the heavy blow for him, and was knocked out of the way almost instantly!

Fu Jian was terrified, and chased after him anxiously, but he saw that Ren Zhen seemed to be unconscious, floating and sinking in the water, drifting with the current, being washed farther and farther by the surging river, and the two of them separated for a long distance The long distance, after a while, even the figure will be invisible.

Fu Jian suddenly got out of the water, his body was drenched with water vapor, his eyebrows, eyes, beard and hair were all frozen with ice slag, and his whole face was also blue and red. He exerted too much force, his right leg was cramped, and he didn't have a sheepskin bag in his hand. Wan can't catch up.

At this moment, the Yan army had already rowed the sheepskin raft, and pulled him up, who was frozen to the ground. After he landed, Yang Ding, who heard the news, hurriedly ordered people to bring warm clothes and ginger soup.Fu Jian raised his head and drank it all, and said with an ashen expression, "He was washed away by the river, and he must have gone downstream. We sent more people to search along the way, and at the same time, set up strict defenses by the river to prevent the Yao army from sneaking up and counterattacking."

Yang Ding obeyed him, nodded and said in a low voice: "This matter must not be publicized, otherwise the army's morale will inevitably change. I have just transferred Murong Zhong and let him go to Guyuan. Only Diao Yun is left here. , he is still loyal to the two Murong brothers."

Fu Jian nodded briefly, then stopped talking, concentrated on luck and breathing, and dispelled the cold air, leaving Yang Ding alone as he stared at him while thinking in his heart——Fu Jian and Murong rushed forward to feud, even if they shook hands now And, why did the wise and mighty King Fu Tian sacrifice his life for him alone?

Yongzhou Tongguan

It was mid-winter, with heavy snowfall, and the silver charcoal was burning in the Boshan furnace, which added some warmth to this season when the breath turned into ice.Tuobagui was young and hot, so he didn't wear brocade and fur like others. He was still wearing an ordinary martial arts robe with arrow sleeves. He wore it with an open collar, revealing his solid muscles inside.

The people in the room who stood crowded together on the ground were all new faces. After Tuobagui arrived in Tongguan, he recruited troops to expand his army, and many exiled tribesmen were invited by He Lanjun to join the former representative. Prince.Many of them are the elders of the Xianbei tribe and the country at that time, such as Changsun Song, Shusun Puluo, etc., who once regarded Tuoba Shiyiqian as the master, and now they also regard their grandson as the young master. He was an official in Xiyan, but when looking at his true heart, he only knew the Tuoba family but not the Murong family.

At this time, everyone was chatting about the military plan, and suddenly Mu Chong, the most trusted lieutenant beside Tuobagui, pushed the door in, leaned over and whispered a few words beside him.

Tuobagui's face changed slightly, he turned over suddenly, left the generals in the hall, then walked out, held Mu Chong on the porch and asked in a low voice: "Is this really true?"

Mu Chong nodded and said: "The news came from the brothers who were still in the Beibei Army in the Huben Camp - Murong Yong's army was almost wiped out when they crossed the river to pursue Yao Xing's remnant army, and he himself fell into the river and disappeared. After a pause, he looked up at Tuobagui again: "It seems that Yao Song's saying 'the poor should not be chased' is true... He is still detained in Guzang, how can he know the situation of the battle in Huaiyuan? Brother, it is very clever to kill with a knife ——Murong Yong didn't believe in Yao Song at all, and he was greedy for merit, and this time he lost miserably..."

Tuobagui interrupted him and said, "Then what does the emperor think?" What he cared about was how Ren Zhen would deal with it.

Mu Chong shook his head: "This can't be found out. Now the army is blocking all news and confronting Yao Jun across the river."

Block messages?Tuoba Gui was slightly taken aback——Yan's army conquered Guyuan, the capital of Yao, and it was a big victory. Even if they lost a battle, there's no reason to be so nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy?What's even more strange is that how could Ren Zhen ignore Murong Yong's disappearance.

No, no, there have been changes in the North Army.But the Northern Army is full of elites from the Third Battalion of Jiaoqi, who are loyal to the Murong family, so how could it change?Tuobagui's thoughts turned, and suddenly he staggered slightly, and a terrible thought came to his mind—unless he couldn't control it...

"I want to go back to Xiaoguan to have a look." Tuobagui frowned and just opened his mouth, when Mu Chong stopped him, "Leaving one's post without a transfer order is punishable by military law, let alone if the eldest brother is not here—" He turned inside Twitched his lips, "They won't listen to me." Tuoba Gui was about to say more, when a sentry came to report that there was a change in Puban Di Bin's army.

Mu Chong hurriedly asked: "Who will come?"

But it turned out that it was a general of the Dian army under Zhai Bin's account called Wang Xu, who was a general from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was never used by the Zhai family.Tuoba Gui twitched his lips after thinking for a moment, "The information we can get, Hou Yan can also get, so Zhai Bin sent such a person to test it out, because he also meant to despise me."

"Brother, then..."

"The first test of the sledgehammer will be a hit, how can Houyan's gang look down on you!" Tuobagui turned and walked back to the meeting room quickly, and waved his hand, "Order to prepare for battle! I want them to go and never return!"

Ren Zhen was woken up by the pain like a needle prick all over his body - the pain was not worse than a knife wound, but cold and piercing to the bone marrow.He barely opened his eyes, and saw a dark bonfire not far away and a tall figure from behind.He propped up his elbows, turned over and sat up, the figure suddenly turned around, it was Murong Yong.He was naked from the upper body at the moment, and there was a huge bruise on his waist and back. The two looked at each other for a long while before Murong Yong said: "You...how can you be so stupid as to jump off like this? You don't even know how to swim ..."

Ren Zhen reluctantly raised his finger and pointed at him: "You..."

Murong Yong wiped his face wearily: "Although I know that I have done it before, and I am fully responsible for this battle, I never thought of committing suicide. ——The piece of ice I was stepping on at that time had already been smashed to pieces, even if I hadn't been killed. Yao Jun couldn’t last long in the shot, and I didn’t want you to be threatened by Yao Xing because of me, so I jumped into the river—I have observed that the ice bridge with the thickest icy shoal is just downstream, going downstream , Ying Ke escaped Yao Xing’s arrow array and climbed up the bank before freezing to death, but in a blink of an eye, you also jumped into the river, was hit on the head by a piece of ice, and was swept over by the water all of a sudden. Quickly swim back against the current, just after catching you, you were hit in the waist by the icy edge that hit you, and you were almost unable to swim anymore. Fortunately, you were still holding a sheepskin bag for you and me to use our strength to swim across, otherwise I'm afraid They will all die in the Yellow River."

Ren Zhenting knocked on his forehead as if he had a headache, and said impatiently: "If you hadn't obeyed the command and insisted on going your own way, why would our army turn from victory to defeat? You didn't apologize for such a big mistake, Shu Ming, you are better than before. It’s a lot more open-minded.”

Murong Yong was stunned suddenly, as if falling into an ice cave again, his whole body felt chilly.

"Ren Zhen" patted his cheek with his backhand, and pulled the corner of his lips sinisterly, "How much face did I give you, so that you can talk to me like this? I'm not afraid that I don't think of brotherhood, it's like killing me." Like Murong Hong, execute you?"

Murong Yong fell to the ground weakly, looking at the completely unfamiliar Ren Zhen—no, it was Murong Chong.

Murong Chong frowned, his delicate long eyebrows moved his frozen muscles, and he glanced at Murong Yong: "Where did it go?"

Murong Yong was still in a dream, and he said in a trance: "Shun... drifted downstream to the west bank, even though it is far away from Huaiyuan, it is still within the territory of Yao Xing."

Murong Chong clicked his tongue, stood up, brushed his long hair loose, raised his head and said: "Go back to the army quickly, now that generals with foreign surnames are in charge of military affairs, and occupying Guyuan City, which was acquired so hard, I can't rest assured. "

Murong Yong trembled all over: "You...you still remember what happened in these years...?"

Murong Chong looked down at his hands, frowned and said, "Ever since I fell off a horse outside Chang'an City that year, I seem to have suffered from a strange illness. Some things I remember clearly, but some things seem blurry." Confused, I can only watch on the sidelines, but I can't do anything... I didn't expect to be hit by the ice edge in the Yellow River, and I seem to have recovered." He suddenly brushed Murong Yong's cheek, and slightly licked his chin, evil He said with a smile: "For example, Shu Ming's feelings for 'Brother Chong', he remembers it clearly."

Murong Yong was stunned at the present moment, and could only stare blankly at this ultimate dream that he had been elusive in the past—Murong Chong's eyes reflected the light of the bonfire, and there was a ghost-like demon in the waves of light.
