Chapter 1375 Autocratic Liao Border
In the Liao land in late spring, the snow and ice are beginning to melt, and the climate is still cold, but there is a bit more biting dampness.

What is different from the relative lag of seasonal changes is that the situation in Liao has undergone earth-shaking changes in the short few months that have passed since the New Year.

First of all, it was natural that the Xianbei and other Zahu tribes of the Western Liao Dynasty rebelled against the Jie State, causing another major force in Liao, the Yuwen Department, to follow in the footsteps of the Duan Department and collapse.

Of course, the Liao border is bitter and the living people are scarce. The so-called collapse does not mean that the entire tribe of the Yuwen Ministry has completely disappeared, but as a relatively independent and complete tribe, the whole tribe has disappeared, and the remaining tribes have been divided up by other forces in the Liao border. As far as possible, in the future, it may be very small to think of appearing as an independent tribal force in the Liao region in the future.

Another change that followed was that the Murong tribe in Liaodong, whose power had already been sluggish under the continuous suppression of the Jie Kingdom for several years, took advantage of the change in Liaoxi this time to make a comeback.

Taking advantage of the lack of reaction of the Jie army in Youzhou, Murong's troops sent troops to western Liaoning to reap huge profits.While the ice and snow had not disappeared, and the western Liaoning had not yet started a full-scale war, the leader of the Murong tribe, Murong Hao, personally led his elite, went deep into the eastern Liaodong, attacked Pingguo occupied by Murong Ren by surprise, and killed Murong Ren outside the city. The years-long Murong Division split.

After completing these important events, Murong Hao made another amazing decision, sending envoys to Xu Wu to present a surrender form to Zhang Ju, the governor of Youzhou in Jie State, to express his surrender.

At that time, the situation of Jie State was also difficult. On the one hand, the relocation of the capital of Jie State had not yet been completed, and faced the aggressive humiliation and threats from the Jin State in the south, and behind it was the hidden danger of Dai State, which became more and more disrespectful.To be honest, the current state of Jie is completely helpless and unable to take care of the changes that have taken place in Liao.

Murong Hao's surrender is great news for the precarious Jie country.

Although Shi Hu, the host of Jie, also knows that Murong is cunning and changeable, and cannot be trusted, and this surrender must have other motives, but for him, as long as Murong Hao publicly declares his surrender to the country of Jie, then the country of Jie will be in front of the barbarians. The deterrence between them can still exist, and to a certain extent, it can restore the bad influence of Xiangguo's fall in the autumn of last year, because naturally there is no reason to refuse.

Because Shi Hu, the master of Jie, fully agreed to Murong Hao's request, and granted him Taiwei, General Zhengbei, Xianbei Grand Chanyu, Pingzhou Mu, and was named King Yan, and the Liao land was fully autocratic.

As a result, the Xianbei Murong tribe swept away the decline of the old year, and the old enemies Duanbu and Yuwenbu were wiped out one after another. The tribe itself completed the reunification and became the sole overlord of the Liao region in the true sense, even surpassing the old Murong The heyday of Xing's life.And the newly promoted King of Yan, Murong Hao, also gained momentum in the Liao region, and he was in the limelight for a while.

In just a few months, the situation in the Liao region was turbulent. Even though many of the Zahu tribes experienced it first-hand, when the new order in the Liao region was initially formed, they were still caught off guard and somewhat unacceptable.

Murong Hao, regardless of whether these tribes accept it or not, after returning to the Jie Kingdom and accepting the conferment of the Jie Lord Shihu, the forwards of the Jie Army who had originally opposed the Liaoxi Lingzhi also withdrew Xu Wu, which enabled him to mobilize more troops. , and more calmly, because he immediately announced the large and small tribes in the Liao border as the Xianbei Da Shanyu, ordering them to lead their tribes to join the alliance in Zimengchuan at the beginning of July in the summer. In the end, there must be a powerful army from the Murong tribe to attack, and Yiqi's tribe!
The construction of Longcheng, which had to be suspended in the early years due to the poverty of the Jie country, was once again put on the agenda by Murong Hao. The remnants of the Yuwen Ministry and other miscellaneous tribes collected by the Liaoxi Lingzhi at the beginning of the year were directly placed in Zimengchuan. In the south, the construction of Dragon City continued.And this dragon city under construction is where Murong Hao's favorite capital city of Yan Kingdom is located. He even led his troops to leave Dathorn City and personally sit in Zimengchuan.

Of course, this seems to be a good situation, and it is not without undercurrents.The most important point is that Murong Hao chose to abandon his contacts with the Jin State at this time and switch to the Jie State, whose momentum has faded to the west, and the hypocrisy has already been felt by the tribes in Liao. The move is more like a short-sighted and short-sighted behavior.

There are not a few people who hold this view, and even many members of the Murong tribe themselves are quite critical of Murong Hao's change of position this time.For example, the members of the Murong Ping and other tribes who have made a lot of money in the business process with the Jin State in the past few years have questioned Murong Hao's choice in public more than once.

Others such as Murong Jiang, Murong Zhi, etc., because their father Murong Yun is still hostage in Luoyang Xingtai in the southern country, are even more dissatisfied with Murong Hao's speculative behavior that ignores his father's life and death, and even take the initiative to attract their followers Wen Fangzhi, the envoy from the Southern Kingdom, went to protect Wen Fangzhi, who was detained under house arrest by Murong Hao.

Therefore, although the current Murong Clan appears to be very powerful, the internal atmosphere of the clan is actually extremely delicate.

"These mediocre people in the clan question me, but they don't know what they think. They are really stupid. They don't even know why our clan is established in this world!"

On the surface, Murong Hao didn't overreact to all kinds of opposition from the clansmen, and showed a tolerant and generous attitude, but in private, he couldn't help but confide a little bit of his heart to those close to him, such as his son Murong Jun: " My family was born in the bitter countryside of the Liao border, and we are not from China. Who is the leader in China, and what does it have to do with our family? Only when China collapses, can the border Hu take advantage of it. If there is peace and prosperity, no matter how ambitious you are, I can only hold back hard."

"Kuangnan barbarians, Wu thieves, stingy and bogey, who refuse to let go of a mere name, have no tolerance for a mighty lord. There is no one in China, and the small thieves rise up, humiliate me, and even help the thieves with conspiracy, and make our family It has been torn apart for a long time, and ten precious years have been lost, how can I be subdued by such arrogance and arrogance for a long time!"

Speaking of this, Murong Hao's face already showed obvious hatred.His resentment towards General Shen of the Southern Kingdom has a long history, and it is not only the reasons mentioned in his words, but also a complex emotion full of envy and contempt.

He never felt that General Shen, who was well-known in China, had anything to boast about in terms of talent. It was nothing more than conspiracy and deceit, taking advantage of the general situation, and it was all due to luck.

Among other things, if the Southern Expedition of the Jie Kingdom last year, if it hadn't just happened to coincide with the death of the first leader of the Jie Kingdom, Shi Le, this Southern barbarian raccoon might have been hunted and killed by the Jie Kingdom, let alone all kinds of chances later. body.And aside from those ingenious flukes, what real achievements does this little raccoon have to boast about?
Murong Hao has unstoppable ambitions, and he once thought in his heart that if he moved to another place, he would be able to have all kinds of people and cooperation that the other party has, and he would have thousands of ways to tidy up the country and rule the world, let alone today It also allows Shihu, the host of Jie, to linger on his last breath.In the final analysis, Nanraccoon dog lacks the atmosphere after all, let alone the heroic posture of creating a hero.

Among other things, in the past few years, although their Murong tribe was suppressed by the Jie country in Liaodong and struggled to support them, they also greatly restrained the energy of the Jie country to the north.Without the restraint of their Murong Department, it would be difficult for Nanraccoon to take back the Guanzhong territory calmly.

But even so, he tiredly asked for a grant, hoping to use his momentum to unify the Liao border forces, so as to create greater constraints on the Jie country, but the Nanraccoon did not respond at all!A few fame and positions are unwilling to give up lightly, and chasing their hearts is nothing more than fearing that others will take away their glory. Can such a narrow-minded person expect others to do their best to help him achieve great things?

To be honest, Murong Hao was really happy when he learned that the important town of Nanguo was lost.Afterwards, the reversal of the battle situation, from Murong Hao's point of view, did not mean that the raccoon was worthy of praise, only that Shi Shi was even more unbearable.

The general trend of China is actually controlled by these mediocre people from the north and the south. On the contrary, he, a truly talented and general man, is trapped by the power and has to watch from a distance. This world is really unfair!

Of course, if it was only out of disgust for Shen Weizhou and others, it would not be enough to prompt Murong Hao to make such an important decision.As he said before, who is the lord of China does not make much difference to them who have no strength to compete for the world.

Shi Hu, the host of the Jie, had also beaten Liaodong hard before, and Shen Weizhou, the Nanraccoon, had been secretly helping the family thief Murong Ren a few years ago, causing their Murong tribe to fall into division for a long time.In the eyes of these powerful masters in China, their Murong tribe is just a lamb that can be kneaded and slaughtered at will in the frontier. No matter who wins in the future, there will be no good fruit for him.

"Since this is the case, why should I stick to casting Jie or Jin, who will benefit me, and who will I follow."

Speaking of this, Murong Hao restrained his sternness a little, stared at his son Murong Jun seriously and said: "This is the foundation of your life, it is your ancestor and your father's insight into the essence of the world, and you should not miss it by being obsessed with common theories. Fundamentally. In the old year when China collapsed, Tuge and Jielu made each other a disaster, but your ancestor held the loyalty to the Jin Dynasty alone, so Chinese fugitives came to vote in large numbers. Now I am taking advantage of the North-South struggle to win the Liao Dynasty. On the other side, the future of our family depends on whether China is in chaos or not."

When Murong Jun heard this, his eyes were somewhat clear, he nodded and said: "At present, the Jie country is weak, because it is my grandfather, I voted for Jie country to help its power, and to stick to the situation of the North and South stalemate?"

After hearing the words, Murong Hao shook his head: "In this battle, the country of Jie will be defeated! It is also a disturbance in the country, Ji Long responds, and only fights hard all the way, killing people's heads rolling, killing the externally arrogant and internally weak. Shen Weizhou, Although he is not a hero with great weapons, he is able to calm chaos quickly, and is not obsessed with killing and showing off his power. He is still far superior to Ji Long in this regard. Because there is a little difference, Ji Long has already lose."

"Since grandpa is sure that the Southern Kingdom will win, why do you want to..."

Murong Jun couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in a daze.He couldn't figure it out, since it was determined that the Jie Kingdom would not last long, wouldn't it be self-given to the Southern Kingdom to attack the Liao land by agreeing at this moment?

"Whether I vote for Jie or not, how can the southern raccoon allow me to be at ease? What's more, the country of Jie is the lord of the north after all, even if the embers are about to die, there is still no lack of power to succeed. The southern country wants to win every day, how can it be so simple ah!"

Speaking of this, Murong Hao also showed a somewhat smug smile on his face: "At present, our clan may not have the power to surpass China's bravery, but taking advantage of the two powers' conflict, we can integrate the Liao border a little bit, and gain a little bit of resistance. However, this is not difficult. Even if the Southern Kingdom wins, it will become a tired army, and it may not have the strength to attack Liao. What's more, Shen Weizhou is fatal, so I don't have to fear him at all."
