Chapter 1138 Extinction of the Door Sacrifice
The site of Dathorn City is located at the angle between a mountain range and a river valley. When the city was first built here, the Murong tribe was far from being as powerful as it is today, and it was not possible to completely abandon farming and hunting. The entire city grew from scratch. Gradually growing up, it presents a kind of oblique elongation, gradually bringing the field farmland into its radiation protection range, and also reflects the trajectory of the farming development of the Murong Ministry.

Later, the tribe grew stronger and often clashed with the surrounding forces. Besides plowing the fields, they also had the need to defend against foreign aggressors, so the momentum of the city's westward development gradually stopped, and it retreated to the mountains to the east again.

Because of this, the layout of the city of Thorn City is different from the cities in the Central Plains. The whole city presents a strange shape that is similar to an ellipse and a fan.

Moreover, there is no unified plan for the city walls, including walls made of rammed earth and fences made of wood and stone. Especially in recent years, the surrounding situation has become severe, and a large number of fortifications have been built outside the original city, making the The whole city looks like a monster bared all over the place.

The residents of Dathorn City are mainly Jin people who have been exiled here. It is not the special care of the Murong tribe, but many of the Murong tribe's own people are not used to the too restrictive life in the city, and decades of farming are not enough. Changing their way of life handed down from generation to generation, more clansmen are still attached to their respective leaders, dividing a living area of ​​their own in the outskirts, and rarely gather in the city unless it is a war or a big sacrifice.

The difference in habits between each other has caused the Murong tribe's slightly dislocated and weird ruling mode. As the leader of the entire tribe, Murong Hao's rule over the Jinmin people is more stable than the rule over his own tribe. much.

It is precisely because of this that many Jin people who have been exiled here have a detached status in the Murong tribe.In fact, they are not as handsome as some of the chiefs of the Murong tribe themselves, but because Murong Hao relies on their talents and influence to exert restraint and rule over the Jin people in this place, so these Jin people's families They were also very polite, and even divided a separate living area for them on the west side of the city.

At present, there are many families of Jin people who are reused by the Murong tribe. Among them, there are two strongest families. One is the Youbeiping Yang clan. Don't dare to be presumptuous in front of it.The other one is the Bohai Feng family, whose representative figures Feng Yi and Feng Fan also won the trust of Liaodong Duke Murong Hao.

In a similar situation, the two have different styles of handling things. Relatively speaking, the Beiping Yang family is more low-key, while the Bohai Feng family is much more high-key.

The management of the Feng family in Liaodong can be traced back to Feng Shi in the middle dynasty. As an official between Youji and Hebei, he went to Liaodong for the funeral, and because the Han and Zhao were powerful at that time, and the land of Huaxia was already in chaos, he stayed there.

As the family of the Jin family that the Murong family followed all the way to rise, the Feng family enjoyed a very high reputation in the Murong family. Not only did Murong Xin treat his family preferentially during his lifetime, but Murong Hao also believed in the Feng family after he ascended the throne. He is wary of the suppression of his brothers.

The Feng family exclusively enjoys a piece of territory west of Dathorn City, covering an area of ​​thousands of hectares. Although less than half of them have been cultivated and developed, it is recognized as the most fertile and productive area in the territory of the Murong Ministry.

The Feng family is worthy of the Wangzong of Bohai. Apart from giving Murong Hao great help in military and political affairs, it is also excellent in territorial management.In addition to the hundreds of hectares of cultivated farmland, there are also many water reels, water mills and other equipment built along the river. The piles and piles of rural scenery make people feel close at first sight, which also makes this place a The first choice for many Jin people to settle down.

Every year in mid-July, the members of the Feng clan who are scattered in various places in Liaodong will return here when they are not involved in important affairs, because this is the memorial day for Feng Shi, and it is also a major event for the entire Feng clan.To make a living in a foreign country and far away, worshiping ancestors is the best way to increase the cohesion of the clan.

Therefore, not only the clan, but also other families of Jin people also attached great importance to it.

So from the warmer weather, Feng's territory near Dathorn City began to become lively, and many clansmen rushed back to the clan land.It's not because the Feng family really has so many close clansmen, but because its family is in a big place in Liao, naturally many people from the Jin Dynasty come here to attach themselves, or marry or make donations.

The Feng family will not refuse this self-indulgence. No matter at any time, the number of people can survive better.The reason why the Feng family is so valued by their lord, Murong Hao, is not only related to their real deeds and meritorious deeds, but also to their high reputation among exile groups.

Outsiders can only see the prosperity of the Feng Clan through these things, but the real core members of the Feng Clan know that offering sacrifices to ancestors is not only a gathering of blood and affection among the clan, but also an important gathering to discuss the strategy of the family.

In recent years, the situation of the Murong tribe has not been very good, so many important members of the clan are away, even if it is approaching the day of sacrifice, like Feng Yi's cousin Feng Yu is still running in the west of Liaoning to organize Jinmin exiles to resist Shi Zhao and cannot return.

The real Feng Clan's descendants are only Feng Shi's descendants, and the most important ones in the Liao area are Feng Shi's eldest son Feng Fan and grandson Feng Yi and others.

Although the overall situation of the Murong Ministry this year is not very good, the Feng family has improved a lot. One of the most important reasons is that Feng Yi led the mission to the south and reached some cooperation with the Huainan Governor's Mansion of the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty. Yi opened up the Huainan joint and was able to transport all kinds of ordnance from the Central Plains to Liao.

Therefore, the people of the Feng clan are also very concerned about this, and when they return to this place, they all have to seriously inquire about the situation in the south.

"Zizhuan, from your point of view, how credible is the so-called revival of the king's industry? If Shi Nizhen will lose to Master Wang, should my family take this opportunity to start operations in the south as soon as possible?"

Although Feng Hua is Feng Yi's uncle, his current status in Liao is not as good as Feng Yi's. It is because he was in charge of defending Liaodong County before, but he failed to suppress Murong Ren's rebellion and was defeated. In the family's place, his life is hard to guarantee, and right now he just hangs a false title and stays at home.

The issue of sealing pumping is also the focus of concern of other Feng clan people.This is not to say that they are committed to the king's affairs, but because in their view, entrusting Donghu to order is just a stopgap measure, and naturally they cannot be said to be loyal to the Murong family.

After Feng Yi heard this question, he shook his head and sighed: "This is really difficult. In my opinion, the so-called revival of the king's industry is nothing more than vain arrogance, and it is nothing more than civil strife in Jiezhao. Southerners have been weak for a long time. The situation can't be reversed easily. Besides, the Langya lineage itself is not the king's successor in the north, and Shen Weizhou, who is in charge, is from the southern Tuzong. .”

"Besides, Nanmian has been flashy for a long time and doesn't pay much attention to deeds. Even Shen Weizhou of the Nanyi has made such great achievements, but he is still tabooed by the deacon's high school. It is rare to be completely calm. There was news from Jiangdong earlier that it was Taiwan Province. The intention of the attack seems to be to depose Shen Weizhou, and the result is still unpredictable. But even if Shen Weizhou survives by luck, he will probably have to focus more on the south in the future, and dare not look too far to the north."

As Murong Hao's confidant, Feng Yi naturally knew about the turmoil in Jiangdong.To be honest, Feng Yi was a little disappointed by this. Those aristocratic apostles who are in charge are addicted to power struggles. Even if they have lost half of their country, they are still hard-won habits. .

Their Fengshi is only a little bit more powerful in the north, so it is naturally more difficult to get into the eyes of those old patriarchal clans, so in his opinion, focusing on the north is really a bad idea.Even if Shen Weizhou could win the game this time, according to what Feng Yi saw, he was a barbarian in the south and acted aggressively, so he might not be happy to accept their Feng family's southward migration.

When Feng Hua and others heard Feng Yi's analysis, they were inevitably a little disappointed: "But the Liao land is not a good land right now, not to mention being surrounded by enemies, the internal strife in Murong's family alone has been delayed for a long time, and it will become a disaster. Ordinary family members Dou Chengfeng is the source of dilapidation, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere. After all, my family lives as a stranger, even if there are meritorious deeds, it is difficult to get involved!"

"For example, in the past, my name was to preside over Liaodong, but the soldiers were all privately played by Murong. Once something happened, I would be difficult to dispatch even if I was a piece of armor. What would I do to resist Murong Ren's chaos?"

Speaking of this point, Feng Hua couldn't help but feel frustrated. The Murong family's trust in these outsiders was nothing more than some empty honor and courtesy. The real military affairs were really important, and the people of the Murong family were still the main ones.

For example, the Yang family in Beiping, although they have made many great achievements, but now they have to enforce the appointment of offending people, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of selfishness.And their Feng family is also in a similar situation, Feng Yi, as a confidant and mastermind, has no military duties, even if he was once a seal of Feng Jiang, he has no military power at all.

"Currently, the situation in the middle school is getting worse and worse. Murong headquarters alone can't support it alone. It is actually an inevitable choice to gather all the strength to maintain it."

When it comes to this point, Feng Yi is full of confidence, because of Jiehu's relentless attack, the Murong tribe has become a target of public criticism in the Liao region. Apart from the Jiehu army, the rest of the Donghu tribe headed by the Yuwen clan are also against the Murong tribe. Eyeing, sometimes provocative.

Moreover, considering the special environment of Liao, the threat of the latter is greater than that of the former.It's just because the Yuwen clan also knows that Shi Zhao's nature is cruel. If the Murong clan is completely destroyed, they must be the next to suffer. Therefore, they still maintain the current suppressive posture. itself.

But this does not mean that the Murong Department is at the end of its rope. After all, the solid foundation left by Murongxin's decades of operation is still there. Even now, the Murong Department still has a force that has not been fully utilized, and that is the large number of Jin people in the territory. stream people.

In the past, the Murong Department only took care of these people as a labor force for land reclamation and farming, and did not have large-scale armed forces as a standing force. But as the situation gradually deteriorated, it would be tantamount to self-mutilation to be so conservative again.

Therefore, Feng Yi also took the opportunity of donating arms this time to suggest to Murong Hao that he should organize these Jin people's labor force into the army while the weapons are sufficient, so as to strengthen his own strength.And Murong Hao also stated that he will seriously consider this, but Feng Yi believes that this is Murong Hao's inevitable choice when there is no better choice.

Hearing this, Feng Hua and the others all showed joy on their faces.The reorganization of the Jin people into the army means that they can finally gain access to the most important military power.You must know that the Murong Ministry's rule over these Jin people is mainly based on their contribution from the Jin family, and it is impossible for such a big thing to be done without bypassing them.

"In this way, my family can not only gain control of the military, but also stubbornly control Huainan, a material and economic channel!"

It is already conceivable for Feng Hua, with his family's high reputation among exiles, coupled with the use of Huainan's powerful weapons that Feng Yi has mastered, it won't take long for his subordinates to gather a group of powerful and well-armed soldiers. direct line army.

Feng Yi also smiled and nodded after hearing the words: "So my family still needs to focus on Liao affairs right now. This environment is bitter and cold, and it is hard to compare with China. It is definitely not a place to live for a long time. The exiles are homesick. Once they are able to use things, they will be brave and brave. Yu begging and living soldiers. At that time, there is no need to incite them cleverly, as long as they tell all the people to kill the bloody way and set foot on the return journey, they will be a brave army!"

In such a world, no matter how ingenious the means of securing one's life are, they are not as reliable as real armor.Once they mastered the leadership of these Jin soldiers, their Feng family would no longer be a poor guest living under the wings of the Murong Ministry, and they would be able to achieve equal dialogue to a certain extent.

Even if they are strong enough, even if the Murong Clan is destroyed, they can use the power they have in their hands to find another way out without being completely tied to the Murong Clan.It is far better to use these migrants to seek a broader living space for their own family than Nantou or to stick to the status quo.

With this prospect proposed by Feng Yi, the discussion of the people of the Feng Clan will revolve around this.Although the prospect can be said to be broad, it is not entirely optimistic.Even if Murong Hao, Duke of Liaodong, was willing to trust him and handed over the command of the Jin Mincheng army to his family, he still had competitors, such as the Yang family of Beiping, which was also not weak.

The fact that the Feng family is high-profile and the Yang family is low-key does not mean that the Yang family is indifferent, but because the Yang family has a natural advantage.

Yangshi County looks at Beiping, which is close to the west of Liaoning, and it is also the main hometown of Liao exiles.After all, Feng's County looks farther away from the Bohai Sea, so in terms of hometown, Feng's is naturally weaker than Yang's, so they have to act in a public manner in order to expand their influence.In particular, Feng Yi is actively planning for Murong Hao to become the king, all in order to win a better performance.

Now the Feng family controls the channels of business communication with the Central Plains, which can be said to be both an advantage and a disadvantage.Murong Hao, the Duke of Liaodong, was definitely not a man of grandeur, and his brothers couldn't tolerate him, let alone a foreigner like the Feng family.Even out of balance considerations, the Feng family must be restrained a little.

"The lord appointed the son of Yang Yu as the deputy of the youngest son A Liudun, which shows that the Yang family has a lot of praise. Therefore, it is very likely that he will be transferred to the new editor, and he needs to rely more on the Yang family."

Feng Yi offered this strategy, so naturally he also considered the possibility of making wedding clothes for others. The Huainan business channel he has mastered is not a normal one. The Feng family must start with military power.

"And uncle, you lost Liaodong earlier, the Lord is very likely to bring up the old matter again and give a heavy punishment and warning."

Hearing Feng Yi's analysis like this, Feng Hua immediately became nervous: "Then how should we deal with it?"

"I have two choices here. One is to ask my uncle to go on a tour of western Liaoning, especially looking for an opportunity to visit Liu Gongdu's people, so that he can help my family's reputation. The other is to go south to the Central Plains and preside over the business with Huainan."

Feng Yi also said that the Liu Gongdu he was talking about was Liu Kun's son Liu Qun.Liu Kun was killed by Duan Pidun, and his disciples supported Liu Qundong and voted for Duan Mobo. Later, the Duan clan power belonged to Duan Liao.Later, Duan Liao was jointly destroyed by Shi Zhao and Murong, and Liu Qun and his subordinates Cui and Lu fell under Shi Hu again.

However, Shi Hu did not bring them into Xiangguo, but arranged them in the west of Liao, using the reputation of Liu Qun and Cui and Lu among the exiles of the Jin Dynasty in the west of Liao to organize and help the siege of the Murong family.

Although Liu Kun lacks military strategy and is incompetent in defending the country, his deeds of gentle strategy and painstaking efforts still make people in Jin Dynasty miss him a lot.And even if Liu Kun's legacy is not mentioned, the Qinghe Cui family and the Fan Yang Lu family are all long-standing Shandong Gaomen, and their influence in the entire north is not comparable to that of the Bohai Feng family.

At present, the power in the south is strong, especially Wen Qiao, Cui Lu's old relative, has a high reputation in the Jiangdong court. It is conceivable that Liu Qun and the rest of the party will never be willing to be under the power of the stone tiger for a long time. heart of.

But now in the entire Liao area, only Murong Ren and Feng Shi have a stable communication channel with Jiangdong, especially the Huainan Governor's Mansion. If they intend to go south, they must rely on their strength.

And if we can get the support of Liu Qun and his party members, it will be much easier for the Bohai Feng clan to surpass the Beiping Yang clan in terms of reputation among exiles.Of course, it is impossible for Feng Yi to really help the two sides communicate with each other, and he also plans to take advantage of the trend to merge Liu Qun's gangsters to strengthen himself.

Hearing Feng Yi's two suggestions, there is no doubt that the latter is safer. After all, Liaoxi is currently occupied by Shi Zhao, and it is really dangerous to operate behind the enemy lines.However, after pondering for a while, Feng Hua still chose to accept the previous proposal, hoping to leave the matter of going south to his son Feng Yu.

Both of them are doing their best for the prosperity of the family, and Feng Yi has no objection to Feng Hua's decision, the important thing is that things should not go wrong, so they discussed for a long time and finalized many details.

Soon it was the official memorial day, and on this day, all members of the Feng clan and their disciples gathered in the clan hall.On this day, even the Duke of Liaodong Murong Hao sent envoys to present sacrifices such as livestock, which shows the importance he attaches to the Feng family.

After leaving his hometown and working in the Hu chieftain, Feng's requirements on etiquette became more stringent, to show that he was a family of decency and righteousness.So this sacrificial ceremony was arranged extremely lengthy, not only all the people of the Dudu tribe were present, but even the surrounding countryside and villagers were invited to watch the ceremony, and by the way, they gave away meals to show their favor.

The sacrificial ceremony started at dawn and continued until late afternoon.At this time, a large number of exiles have gathered near Feng's Manor. For these exiles, watching the ceremony is second, and what is even rarer is the food later. It can be said that they are one of the few who can eat happily and openly Opportunity.

So in the chaotic surroundings, there were voices of praise for Feng's gratitude everywhere.All kinds of human voices are too complex, and even some unusual commotion in the countryside are covered up.

In the dense forest on the other side of the river valley outside Feng's ancestral hall, strong men with bows and knives kept gathering. They also continued in an endless stream from morning to night, and gradually developed from a hundred people at the beginning to more than two thousand people.

"The time is almost up, we will kill you later, we will never allow Feng to escape alone!"

In the evening, Murong Ping in the team raised his head to look at the sky, and then his face showed a ferocious look, and he ordered sternly.

Then Qianqi got on his horse, rushed out of the dense forest, waded directly across the river valley and shallows, and went straight to the Feng clan's land in the wilderness to kill.

At this time, a large number of exiles gathered outside the Feng Clan's territory. At first, they didn't pay attention to the rushing troops. Recently, there have been frequent wars in the surrounding area, and there have been many similar dispatches of soldiers; They are also keen on hunting.Therefore, it is no surprise that this kind of distribution of soldiers has long been seen.

But soon someone discovered something unusual. The soldiers on that route were not just passing by, they were heading straight for it.Finally, these people realized the danger and started howling and running around.

However, at this time, the cavalry of the Murong Ministry had already spread out in the countryside, and what they received was the order to kill and never let go. They quickly raised their butcher knives at these unarmed and fleeing people in a hurry. Start a crazy killing!
Murong Ping led hundreds of elites, and rode their horses to rush through the panicked crowd. Many people who had no time to escape were trampled to death by the horseshoes, paving a bloody road in the countryside!
The shocking changes outside the manor were naturally noticed inside the manor.Feng Yi and the others climbed up to the watchtower and saw that their eyes were shattered. Although they still don't know where the disaster came from, they immediately arranged for their family members to go to the City of Thorns for help.But at this moment, there are still a large number of people around the manor climbing the walls, begging for shelter, and besieging the whole manor!
"Seal the dog thief, go out quickly and die! You are incompetent in defending the land and caused the fall of Liaodong. Today is your death day!"

Murong Ping quickly led the crowd to the gate of Feng's Manor, howled and ordered the people to launch an attack immediately, as for himself, he even shot left and right, frequently shooting at the surging crowd on the wall.

Although Feng's Manor is large in scale, but it is close to the city of thorns, in order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to make a comprehensive defense arrangement.

So the manor was breached soon, and the members of the Feng clan naturally knew that the so-called crime of banning pumping was just an excuse. It was an old crime a few years ago, and it was suddenly revealed at this moment, there must be other reasons.

However, strong soldiers are also close at hand, and Feng Yi and the others have no way to deal with them. They can only tie up Feng Hua and delay for a while, in order to wait for the changes to happen.

Murong Ping led the soldiers into the Feng Clan's manor, and soon saw a group of Feng Clan members tied up and kneeling in worship, and before Feng Yi and others could speak, he had already let out a smirk: "Kill! "

A burst of arrows fell like rain, and all the members of the Feng clan fell to the ground wailing, and even if some were not killed immediately, they were all beheaded by the soldiers of the Murong tribe who bullied them.Soon, including Feng Yi, there was no one alive!
The place where the members of the Feng clan gathered was right in front of the ancestral hall, and the smoke in the ancestral hall had not cleared away, which made Murong Ping's heart tremble, and then he recited sharply, pointing at the ancestral hall and shouting: "The porcupine dogs that lost their families, are you still alive?" Dare to ask extravagantly for a descendant? Destroy this ancestral hall for me, and the Feng Family Ceremony will be extinct!"

　In this chapter, besides the extermination of the Feng clan, I will introduce the other families of Youji by the way. . .Licking a dog can't be good. . .A big chapter, long wait. . .
