The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 10 Murong Bali captures the head of the enemy

The Duan Department that everyone is talking about stands next to the Murong Yan Kingdom, and the people in the country come and go frequently, so it was the Murong family who asked for this Department.It's a pity that in recent years, the kings of this section are all short-sighted and profit-seeking.After killing Liu Kun and Wang Jun, the chaos in Liaodong after Yongjia began with the Duan family.

Since the beginning of this year, Shi Zhao has used many Duanbu for huge profits, news of the rebellion of this section has been heard endlessly, the border scouts of Murong's family also reported several times every day, and the court of Yan State always paid attention to the situation of Duanbu.

After all, it is the country of in-laws. If there is no definite evidence, the Lord of Yan, Murong Hao, wants to take it, but it is not in line with reason. He is afraid that the ministers of the country will object.Hearing the news of the rebellion for the first time, the Lord Yan was not afraid of rejoicing.

Lord Yan was planning to conscript Duan himself.But firstly, Duanbu is a country of in-laws, and it is difficult to deal with others for fear of others' comments; secondly, among the countries in Liaodong, although attacks are frequent, they have never been destroyed.Lord Yan definitely wants to monopolize this skill.

In the morning of that day, the court discussed, and the king of Yan made a decision to lead the army in person. Except for the border guards and the garrison troops in various places that could not be dispatched, he would send all the troops inside and outside the capital.Many leading generals in the court, such as: Sili Yangyu, Qi Duwei Murongba, former military adviser Murong Ping, Zhechong General Mu Yugen, Dangkou General Mu Yuni, etc. were all dispatched.

Yan Wang originally thought that Jianwei General Murong Han had not long returned to the country, so he was asked to rest in the capital.On that day, King Yan and his ministers made a plan, and the deployment and formation of troops had been decided, but they did not give Murong Han any instructions.Murong Han left the table and stepped forward, asking Ying to say: "King Yan, I have lived in Duanbu for a long time, and I know the mountains and rivers in the country, and the deployment of troops. , Take Lingzhi City directly."

"Brother Han has returned to the country not long ago, and you have been in Yuwen for a long time due to the wind and cold, and your health will no longer be healthy. You were originally intended to be stationed in Liaodong, but now Murong Ke has gradually gained power, so it is difficult to replace him. In Duanbu, my prime minister in the Yan army There are many acquaintances, don't bother brother Han." Yan Wang didn't agree, so he only let Murong Han take his seat.

But Murong Ba got up and said to his father, "Father, what Uncle Wang said is true. He has been in the army for a long time, and he fears that others will not be able to match him in this battle formation. And there is a saying in the art of war: 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.'" Among the leading generals, only Uncle Wang is the only one who knows the layout of the troops, and my son begged my father to let Uncle Wang go with the army."

Yang Wu also said: "General Murong Han is well-known, and there are many people in the Duan army who are afraid of the general. For the sake of the Yan army, I implore my king to let him go out."

All the generals pleaded for Murong Han one after another, so King Yan also added General Jianwei to the list of recruited generals.

After the discussion, everyone went back to the mansion one after another, and Murong Han also wanted to leave the palace with the ministers.But I saw Mrs. Gongsun and her maid Xiaojuan standing not far away.Seeing Murong Han, Mrs. Gongsun hurriedly bowed to Murong Han: "I pay my respects to General Jianwei."

Murong Han was stunned, and then he calmed down and said: "I have seen Mrs. Gongsun, I still have military affairs, forgive me that I can't stay for long, I will resign."

"You are so unreasonable, you don't know my wife's suffering after you left, but today you..." Xiaojuan couldn't help but angrily said.

"Xiaojuan, don't talk too much, this is a military matter, don't miss a big deal." Mrs. Gongsun hurriedly pulled Xiaojuan aside and scolded Xiaojuan.Immediately, he bowed gracefully to Murong Han, "I hope you will forgive me for delaying the general's time."

After speaking, he led Xiaojuan to turn around, and went to his bedroom without looking back.

After walking dozens of steps, Xiao Juan quietly turned her head, only to see Murong Han still standing there.

"Ma'am, I really have nothing to say." Xiaojuan heard.

Mrs. Gongsun didn't speak, but suddenly quickened her pace, walking further and further away from Murong Han.

On the second day, all the ministries of the Yan army gathered under the city of Thorns, and saw that the army was in good order, with armor and swords in order, showing a chilling atmosphere.

The ancient cloud: The Son of Heaven will go out to fight, similar to God, suitable for society, and created by you.Now that the expedition is a battle to destroy the country, the king of Yan built a high platform in the southern suburbs, on which an incense table was placed, incense was burned, and sacrifices were made in Tailao.But I saw an officiant, similar to Taizhu in Yin Shi, who read out the official letter written by King Yan, and then threw it into a cauldron and burned it to tell the heaven.

All the soldiers bowed three times and kowtowed to their masters three times, and drove towards Duanbu with a murderous look.

As the army was marching, the king of Yan asked his left and right: "This time our army is thundering, and it is easy to destroy the Duan tribe. It is difficult to win the hearts of the people after the Duan tribe is destroyed, so that it can be used by my country."

Yang Wu followed the horse and hurried forward, holding the reins in his hand, and said: "What my king said is true, the brothers of the Duan family only favor martial arts and bravery, and are disrespectful to scholars. Talented people are not used, and the power of the country is gradually declining."

"Mountains and rivers are solid, virtue is not danger." King Yan lowered his head and muttered.

Yang Wu cupped his hands and said: "My king is very virtuous, and Yan Guo is very lucky. I heard that Yang Shilun of Duanbu is loyal, honest and frugal, honest and righteous, and others are inferior. If my king can accept this person, then the subjects of Duanbu Don't be afraid."

The King of Yan was thoughtful: "You said Yang Shilun, isn't it Yang Yu and Yang Zuocheng?"

Yang Wu nodded.

The King of Yan caressed his jaw and said: "I don't avoid relatives in internal promotion, Yang Shiqiu, and a scholar for the country, I am lucky for the country of Yan."

Murong Hao raised his sword and pointed to the sky, and shouted to all the soldiers: "My teacher of the Yan Kingdom relieved the people from hanging upside down, and only punished the chief culprit. His subjects, the common people, our army Xu Qiu did not commit any crimes, do you know?"

All the soldiers shouted, "No."

The soldiers passed through Liucheng, and there was a mountain standing beside the river, which was magnificent in shape. King Yan asked his left and right: "Is this mountain famous?"

I saw Murong Han driving his horse forward and reporting to the King of Yan: "This mountain is called Longshan. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zhao of the State of Yan went out from here to Pingdongyi. Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan sat here."

"Longshan, this name is very good. In the future, my country of Yan will map the original land in the south. After Duan Bu is pacified, the south of my country of Yan will face Shi Zhao. The city of Thorns is small and small, and it is quite inconvenient to send orders. From now on, my country of Yan will use mountains The new capital will be built in the yang of the water and the yin of the water, and it is called "Dragon City". It means that our country of Yan will leap the dragon to the nine heavens."

Everyone is good.

When the soldiers arrived at Lingzhi City, they saw that King Yan led a large group of troops to attack the city in a hurry, and sent Murong Ba to ambush in Miyun Mountain beside the city.

Naling Zhicheng, the city is very difficult to defend, and Duanbu has lost troops and land in the past few years, lost soldiers and generals, and will have no fighting spirit and morale.The army of the Yan State was well-organized, and before attacking the city, they had dispatched secret agents to infiltrate the city, knowing their advantages and disadvantages, and they all presented their speeches, which made the people of the branch city eat pots of pulp to welcome the Yan army.

What's more, the big flag of Murong Han stood in the middle army of the Yan army.The word "Han" was capitalized on the flag, and the soldiers guarding the city were terrified when they saw this.Not long after, the Yan army took Lingzhi City.

But when the city was broken, Duan Liao took Duan Kan, Duan Qin, Duan Si and other Duan tribes to Shizhao.

As expected, Murong Ba intercepted the enemy's way in Miyun Mountain, but at this time Shi Zhao sent troops to escort them, Murong Ba and Gao Bi had to fight to the death.

"Murong Ba, the situation is critical, just kill Duan Liao, Zhao's hope is gone." After saying that, Gao Bi was about to cut Duan Liao.

"It's absolutely impossible, how can we be good at judging the monarch of an enemy country." After saying that, he stretched out his machete to block Gao Bi.

I saw the Zhao army coming from the south like a tide, Gao Bi and Murong Ba were fighting and retreating, gradually retreating to Lingzhi City.

The Yan army was attacked by Zhao soldiers in front of them, and some enemy leaders were in the army behind them, so they were powerless.

I saw that when the two armies met, the people from that section took advantage of the gap between the Yan army's formation and went straight to the direction of Zhao army.

Murong Ba and Gao Bi slapped their horses forward, intending to stop them, after all, the members of the Duan Clan have also experienced battles for a long time.I saw those people rushing left and right, covering each other.Gradually approaching Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun also rushed towards those people.I saw Duan Kan, Duan Qin, Duan Si and others forcibly protruding from the encirclement. When Duan Liao was about to protrude, Murong Ba rushed out from the side, his horse was terrified.That Duan Liao fell from his horse, and the surrounding soldiers were angry and wanted to kill him, but Gao Bi stopped him.

Murong Ba shouted: "All the generals withdraw their troops, and they will not love to fight unless they are ordered by me." All the generals rushed to Lingzhi City.Seeing that the Yan army's army was getting better and it was difficult to find a fighter, the Zhao soldiers also retreated to the Zhao border.

"In the end, Duan Kan, Duan Qin, Duan Si and others escaped, and my country of Yan has hidden worries." Gao Bi said worriedly.

Murong Ba also blamed himself endlessly, so he asked his father to punish his father.

Murong Hao, the king of Yan, led the army into the palace of Lingzhibu, but he saw that Duanbu spared no effort for the people. The palace was more spacious than Yanwang Palace in Jicheng. Not taken away.In addition, where the Yan army passed by, there was no crime in autumn, and everyone in Duan was safe.

"Report to King Yan that Yang Yu has already left the palace." A soldier rushed to King Yan.

King Yan was overjoyed when he heard that, and wanted to go out to meet him in person.

Murong Ping was apprehensive, and said to King Yan: "This Duanbu is newly attached, I'm afraid it might be deceitful, I hope Brother Wang think twice."

King Yan didn't take it seriously, and said: "You don't have to worry about judging my brother. I am alone and want to take over the world. Yang Shilun is the hope of the Duan tribe. If this person is accepted, the Duan tribe's subjects will return with their hearts, and my country of Yan will have no worries."

"Your Majesty, although the Duke of Zhou is incomparable, it is a great honor for my Yang family and Yang's family to be able to return to the tent of the Yan Kingdom." Yang Yu cupped his hands first.

After saying that, King Yan went to meet Yangyu without even tidying up his clothes.

"The former Cao Cao greeted Xu You with all his feet, but now my ministers have to be overly treated by the King of Yan, and I am terrified." At this time, Yang Yu, who came to the gate of the hall, saw the King of Yan welcoming him in person, and he was very admiring.

King Yan picked up Yang Yu and walked towards the palace hand in hand. "There is an old saying: "The Duke of Zhou vomited and nourished the world and returned to his heart, and alone he won the victory of thousands of troops. "Yan Wang held Yang Yu's hand tightly and said: "My country of Yan conquered Duanbu, and the one who gained the most is Qing. "

Suddenly, a messenger came galloping in, shouting: "Urgent report, urgent report."

Mu Yugen took the urgent report and hurriedly presented it to the King of Yan. The King of Yan was shocked when he saw it, "No, my son is in danger."

All the officers and men circulated the emergency report, and Murong Han reported to the King of Yan: "The King of Yan is less worried. The minister has been in Duanbu for a long time. He and Shi Zhaonai are in harmony with each other. Although they have made an oath, they will not spare no effort to save each other. And our Yan army has already Entering Lingzhi, the general situation has been determined, and Zhao Jun will not come to rescue when he sees that the battle opportunity is gone."

Murong Han was in Duanbu, and he knew the situation quite well. Speaking of this, everyone felt at ease.

"It's Ba'er! If you don't have the courage to encounter Zhao Jun suddenly, you will be in danger." Yan Wang regretted, "I was negligent for my father, and I was young when I suddenly took on a big responsibility."

"King of Yan, I want to lead the troops." Murong Han strode out, "My nephew is brave, and I am very happy. It is okay for my country of Yan to lose my minister, but my nephew is still young." Murong Han turned around and said to all the ministers, "I think this boy is brave and brave. If time passes, he will become a pillar of our country of Yan. Thousands of troops are easy to win but a general is hard to find. I will fight to the death to rescue Ba'er."

I saw that Murong Han was about to leave the palace gate, when suddenly a messenger arrived again.

King Yan opened the watch and played it, read it, and laughed.

Everyone was confused, Murong Ping stepped forward and asked: "Brother Wang, what is the content of this urgent report?"

The king of Yan will send an urgent report to all the generals.

King Yan said: "After all, as a father, I never loved him wrongly. Ba'er is so brave."

All the generals have read this newspaper, and they all know that Murong Ba has safely escaped from danger. He took the first section of the enemy's road to Lingzhi City from Liao. .

All the generals shouted in unison: "Congratulations to my king, you have captured the enemy's head."

That Murong Ba led the army and came back from Miyun Mountain after being defeated. Originally, he wanted to invite himself to the table, but he was already prepared to demote officials and ranks. He saw that Murong Ba secretly wanted to enter Lingzhi City through the side gate, and he never thought of guarding the gate. Reject Murong Ba's request to enter the city.

"Brother Gao, let's go back to Dongxiang Academy this time and study for a few more years. This is the end of the matter. I apologize to my father and have nothing to do with you." Murong Ba was annoyed.

"Murong Ba, I don't think this is necessarily the case?" Gao Bi hesitated for a while, "If you lose your teacher and land, the commander will be questioned. Now that you have submitted the form, the King of Yan has no intentions. Isn't it strange?"

"Let's go, you and I go to the main entrance."

After saying that, the two led their troops and Duan Liao entered through Ling Zhi's main gate.But he saw Murong Han already greeted him at the gate, Murong Ba flew off his horse and was about to kneel down on the ground, but he saw Murong Han hastily stepped forward to help him, and said: "Ba'er, your father is very happy to make such a meritorious deed, and he specially ordered uncle to come This welcomes you."

"Uncle, this...Ba'er lost his army and lost his generals, and was kidnapped by Zhao Bing to take away many people. He was about to apologise, but Uncle Hugh made fun of me. That Murong Ba said to Murong Han angrily.

"Hey, look at what you said. Uncle wouldn't lie to you. You captured Duan Liao, which is indeed a great achievement. I didn't expect you to encounter Zhao Bing suddenly, but now you have retreated. Your father is too happy, so why punish him?" For you." Murong Han said, supporting his back with his hands, "Hurry up and enter Lingzhi Palace, your father is about to see you."

"Uncle's words, are you serious?"

"really."

After saying that, Murong Ba and Gao Bi went straight to Lingzhi Palace, and the soldiers under his command escorted Duan Liao to follow.

Murong Hao saw Ba'er approaching from afar, got up and shouted: "Ba'er, come quickly, this battle is extremely dangerous, seeing you are safe, I feel at ease for my father."

"Thank you, father, for your concern, but my son was not expecting to be robbed by Zhao Bing of many Duan clans, so my heart is disturbed, so..." Murong Ba wanted to lean over to apologize to King Yan.

"It's okay, it's your first time to lead an army alone, and you have already achieved such a feat, which is really rare. It's beyond my father's expectations to be able to fight against the enemy, how can I blame you as a father. Haha, my son is braver than an orphan." After saying that, he summoned the palace servants to give seats to Murong Ba and Gao Bi.

King Yan turned around and returned to the throne, and shouted loudly at Duan Liao who was captured in the palace, "Old thief Duanbu, my king kindly took him in, why did you turn against me?"

"The weak merge with the strong, and the small merge with the big. It's the destiny. You don't need to say more." Duan Liao didn't raise his head.

"Your backbone is quite strong. Let's see if it's the long sword in my hand or your head." King Yan slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.

"You and I are both barbarians, and it is only because of this Central Plains Jin Dynasty Wang Gangzhuo, and you Xianbei Murong, that you enter this secluded and peaceful land from the grassland." Duan Liao wanted to straighten up, but was held down by the left and right soldiers, unable to raise his head, and cursed angrily He said, "Your troops can enter this Pingzhou because of the benevolence of my ancestors. Forget it, the winner and the loser have their own definite number. I lost today. Don't you know who will die tomorrow."

"Come here, Gu will send you back to the west today." After finishing speaking, he left and left to cut.

Not long after, the executioner had beheaded the head and dedicated it to King Yan.The king of Yan waved his hand and said, "It's also a lonely brother-in-law in terms of etiquette, whatever." So he ordered the man's head to be sewn onto the corpse, packed into a coffin, and sent to the state of Zhao.

King Yan turned back and took his seat and said, "It's a pity that Gu's strength is too weak to take Jicheng from him. In the future, Gu will compete with that stone tiger."

Murong Hao looked at Murong Ba who was still covered in blood. After only one year, Ba'er was even taller and taller. He was already a seven-foot man, and he had lost his immaturity. Seeing this, King Yan murmured: " Subclass me, subclass me."

Although the voice was soft, the minister could hear it clearly.

Murong Hao asked the left and right, "All the generals think that Murong Ba's contribution to capturing the enemy's head in this battle is indispensable. Is it feasible to seal him as a general?"

All the ministers in the hall didn't reply, Duna Murong commented: "Ba'er, although the enemy's leader was captured in this battle, it is really a fluke, and the loss of soldiers will make up for the merits and demerits, no award or reward."

"No, young talents should be rewarded." Murong Han stepped forward slowly and said, "What I said is not unreasonable, but Ba'er has already led an army alone, so he should be named a general." Murong Han looked at Murong Han Ba's eyes are full of kindness.

"Murong Han, this little boy's appointment as a general will make other people laugh at me that there is no one in Yan Kingdom." Murong Ping was already angry.

"Don't be angry when you judge, brother Wang is not unreasonable. Our country of Yan has a large number of talents. Isn't it comparable to Shi Zhao, Cheng Han, and the Jin Dynasty? Moreover, our country of Yan employs people who are not stick to one style. They will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Order to seal Murong Ba He will be General Zhonglang, and Gao Bi will be named his Deputy General."

Unexpectedly, Gao Bi also won an official position, and both of them thanked the King of Yan.

"Murong Ba, as my father, I originally wanted to make you General Pingdi." I saw that all the officials in the hall were surprised. This general has a very important title, but I heard King Yan continue to say: "Not only did you capture the enemy's head today, but also I hope you will wipe out the barbarians for our country of Yan and help the country in this time of great struggle. If you have more military exploits in the future, my father will make you General Pingdi."

"My father entrusted me with this, and my ministers will keep in mind that Ping Di will be his ambition." Murong Ba said with emotion.

Everyone was delighted to win these two generals, only Mu Yugen kicked Murong Ping's feet and said: "The Duan family is destroyed, how can this family of this family deal with themselves."

"Your Majesty has his own arrangements." Murong Ping only said.

But a sergeant came and played the king of Yan and said: "All the clansmen in this section have been collected, and the rest of the palace soldiers and soldiers have dismissed them. There is only a palace in this inner court, and there is probably a little girl who has not yet reached the age of Ji. Standing outside the gate of the palace with a sword in hand. All the generals are not allowed to approach."

"Absurd, how could it be reasonable for my soldiers of the Yan Kingdom to be blocked by a woman from outside the palace, to pass on my royal order, to enter the palace gate, and those who violate it will be beheaded." Yan Wang waved his hands, "Hmph, the country has been broken, but the momentum has not declined. .”

"Wait a minute!" Murong Ba temporarily signaled the soldiers not to retreat.

"Father, in the past dynasties, when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, there must be a matter of loyalty and stand up to defend the country. These people are all loyal. Although this part of the country is a small country, it has been established for dozens of years. There are not a few virtuous people." Murong Ba said slowly, "If our country of Yan wants to conquer the world, it must win the hearts of the people in the world, even this little girl has this integrity, why doesn't the father let the ministers see why?"

"Ba'er's statement is reasonable, since that's the case, this matter is up to you to decide, you can go..."
