The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 27

When everyone came out of King Yan's Palace, they saw Murong Jun taking off his armor and naked, kneeling outside the palace for a long time.At this time, the weather was cold and it was snowing lightly.Walking outside is already shivering, let alone kneeling on the cold stone slab.

King Yan's anger still persisted at this moment, and everyone walked by him without saying a word, and just went to the outer court.

Uncle Ping came and said to King Yan: "Your Majesty, Murong Jun has been kneeling outside for the whole night, and it's freezing cold now, I'm afraid something will happen."

"If you don't listen to the military order, you have made a big mistake. According to the law, you must follow the military law. Now you don't have to pursue it. If he wants to kneel, let him go." The jewels and emeralds on the crown were trembling, and King Yan was very restless.

Ping Bo had no choice but to back down.The startled deer in the courtyard are constantly beating you, it is very quiet, the night is getting deeper, and the sky is getting colder.Gradually, Murong Jun couldn't hold on anymore, "哐嘡." He fell to the ground.

The servant next to him was in a hurry, and hurriedly reported to Uncle Ping: "Old official, that General Yangwei fell to the ground, should you report to King Yan first..."

"It's important to save people, hurry up, move into the inner room, Jiang Tang will take care of it, if the king asks, I will take care of it." Uncle Ping ordered the servants below without any explanation, and quickly moved Murong Jun into the inner room.

The sky in the east is getting brighter, a round of morning glow is about to burst out, jackdaws are dotted in the distance, and the morning in the northern country is extraordinarily late.These days, I have been dealing with political affairs overnight, and my mind has been disturbed. The King of Yan has issued an order to cancel the morning court today, and it is rare to stop for a day.

The palace lanterns that had been on all day and night were extinguished, and the charcoal fire in the inner room's stove was also burned out, and King Yan also felt a chill.

"Uncle Ping, how is Murong Jun outside the house?" King Yan's resentment gradually dissipated after a night.

"Your Majesty, General Jianwei fainted from the cold. The old slave took the initiative and helped him into a side room to rest. He is suffering from a high fever and has already ordered someone to give him a decoction. Your Majesty, please punish the old slave for the crime of arbitrarily judging." After the official finished speaking, he bowed to the ground.

King Yan sighed, "You, what is the crime? You also served all night, go down to rest, and let the servant take Gu to see how Murong Jun is doing."

King Yan followed the man to the side room, Murong Jun had already fallen into a deep sleep, and there was only one maidservant beside him, the incense burner was lit, the smoke was lingering, the surroundings were heavy and thick curtains, the flames in the stove could be seen faintly, and the room was extremely hot.It's just that Murong Jun's face is pale, it should be due to the severe cold, his face is pale, the triple burner is blocked, he can't come over slowly.The maid was about to enter the decoction, when she saw King Yan coming in, she hurriedly knelt down and was about to salute.King Yan signaled him to keep quiet, took the soup bowl, and delivered the medicine to Murong Jun.

At this moment, Murong Jun was unconscious and drowsy, after drinking a mouthful of the soup, his expression gradually recovered.Then slowly opened his eyes.But seeing that it was King Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and wanted to stand up and apologize.

"Brother Jun, don't get up, so you can rest." Then he put the soup to his mouth.

"Brother Wang, my brother was confused for a while. I am eager to make meritorious service, my minister, I deserve death for my crimes." Murong Jun had tears in his eyes.

"Brother Jun, don't say any more, drink the soup and medicine first." King Yan looked relaxed, lifted his back, and slowly handed the medicine to his mouth.

After a while, perhaps due to the onset of pharmacological effects, Murong Jun's face gradually turned rosy, and his spirit recovered.

"Brother Jun, let me just ask, I know you are more than brave, but you don't think enough, and you don't have any intention of attacking, who will do it?" King Yan asked slowly.

"Brother Wang, it's all my fault. I was greedy for meritorious service and forgot about my brother's entrustment. It's me, it's me." After finishing speaking, Murong Jun sighed and closed his eyes.

"Brother Jun, it doesn't matter if you refuse to speak out. Let me just say it now, everything is the country of Yan, and the country and society are the most important. Don't be used by traitors. You will lose your mind for a while, and regret the rest of your life." King Yan sighed, "Today, my Murong family, my generation, there is not much left. A few days ago, Tuoba Shiyi Jianming brought the word that the orphaned sister died on behalf of the princess. Now only Murong Han, Brother Ping, Brother Biao and Brother Ping are left. You. In the past few years, brothers fought against each other, and peers withered, so it was very sad to be alone."

"Ahem, King Yan, Yuwen is strong now, my brother made a big mistake, what can I do?" Murong Jun asked, pulling King Yan's sleeve.

King Yan told him in detail what he had discussed last night.After hearing this, Murong Jun wanted to stand up and said: "Brother Wang will never give up, I am willing to lead the army again to be the vanguard of our army, even if I risk my life, I will protect my country of Yan."

"Brother Jun's meaning, I already know that you should rest well. Brother Han's bravery is the best in Yuwen, and he is also Ke'er. Ba'er is both wise and brave, so he is worthy of great responsibility. You can rest assured." King Yan turned around and was about to leave. go.

But Murong Jun took Yan Wang's hand and said: "Yan Wang, what I am worried about is Ba'er. Ba'er is still young and easy to break, and he wants to make friends with Uncle Wang, Liu Pei and Gao Xu. I'm afraid..."

King Yan slowly helped him down, "Brother Jun, I am in Yan's army but follow the orders of the army, Ba'er will be fine."

I saw Murong Jun holding Yan Wang's hand even tighter, "Brother Wang, things in the army are changing rapidly and are unpredictable. Even if I fight this sick body, I will protect Murong Ba's nephew." Murong Jun couldn't sleep anymore, got up and said to the King of Yan, "The younger generations are rare, if there is a mistake, the country will lose the pillar." After speaking, he bowed down to the King of Yan.

"Brother Jun has the heart to support the younger generation. I am very lucky for the Yan army. That's how it is." Yan Wang insisted on letting Murong Jun lie on the bed, "You and Murong Ba will lead this partial division together, and it will be convenient for you to take care of it."

A long-lost smile appeared on Murong Jun's face, the morning light spread across the floor, and entered the room directly from the window sill of the east wing, and the room was very bright.

"Thank you, King Yan."

"Brother Jun, hurry up to recuperate from illness, the army will set out soon, so don't delay." After saying that, King Yan and his attendants left the side hall.

On that day, everyone finished their discussions and went back to the camp.Now Murong Ba also has his own family of personal guards. Murong Ba is young and talented, and his mother is from the Xiongnu family, and he is also the father's favorite. Compared with others, his tribe is more energetic and tolerant. There are not only Xianbei people, but also Han, Xiongnu, Buyeo and so on.

When Murong Ba returned to the camp, he ordered his general Gao Bi to prepare his armaments early, gather the soldiers of each battalion, and take a rest to prepare for the expedition.

But Gao Bi said: "General, the people in the camp have been fighting hard for days, and they are all tired. With such continuous expeditions, the subordinates are afraid of changes."

"Today, did you hear any discussions?"

"It's nothing more than that Yuwen is powerful and should not be taken lightly. It is not my Yantu, so there is no need to be so desperate. It is not the right way for our Yan army to seize people's assets, and so on."

"Gao Bi sent down an order that all the battalions will gather at the military school ground in an hour, and I will personally give a lecture to the soldiers in the battalion."

"Murong Ba, is this appropriate?" Gao Bi asked in confusion.

"Our country of Yan is established in the northern border, relying on the unity of the officers and men, and clear rewards and punishments. If it weren't for this, how could our country of Yan be gradually merged from a small country to the land of Pingzhou? You have no doubts, just pass orders."

"That being the case, I take orders." Gao Bi withdrew and ordered the battalions to gather at the school grounds.

On this day, the flags in the Japanese army were blowing in the wind, and the soldiers of all battalions were in order to clean up the village, only the panting of the soldiers and horses could be heard.

Murong Ba stepped onto the high platform generously, and the lieutenants who joined the army lined up on the left and right.Murong Ba's eyes swept across the army formation under the high platform, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.Gao Bi was really capable and trained his troops well, he didn't embarrass me, Murong Ba.

Murong Ba made up his mind and said: "Soldiers in the army, it's the end of the year. Among the soldiers, there are fathers who have children who are waiting to be fed. Yes, just wait for the wedding night in the bridal chamber." After finishing speaking, he looked towards the back of the school grounds, "Xiao Dai, I heard that your wife has the honor of being ashamed of flowers in the closed moon, she is very lucky." Everyone laughed all the time, and the man was also embarrassed.

Immediately Murong Ba said solemnly: "Why is my Murong Yan Kingdom going out this time? Although Yuwen has not invaded, but he has done a lot of evil. Is there any house in the northern border town that will not be plundered by him? Thinking of the former king Murongxian, Yuwen begged for a turtle." They attacked our border towns and plundered them. Every household was completely destroyed. Children lost their mothers, wives lost their fathers, and Gao Tang’s old mother lost her young children. No one can forget.”

Hearing this remark, all the soldiers in the north of the army felt sorry for each other, and couldn't help crying.

"I think that just after my father came to the throne, there was Murong Ren's rebellion inside, and the Duanbu, Shizhao, and Yuwen families attacked our Thorn City outside. They resisted desperately, and the enemy retreated. However, all the estates, houses and villages were destroyed. Isn't it true? Yuwen's fault."

There was a lot of discussion among the soldiers, and the joking soldier just now was the first to shout: "Swear to follow the general and destroy Yuwen."

In the school field army, a mountain call was issued, "Oath to follow the general."

Gao Bi whispered to Murong Ba: "Sure enough, the soldier's heart can be used.".

Murong Ba also nodded slightly, and then he saw Murong Ba pull out his saber and point to the sky: "Now I, Yan Kingdom, want to pacify the northern border, and only Yuwen is left. Now the world is in chaos, how can Yan Kingdom be alone, and be at odds with thieves?" .Soldiers of the Yan Army, in the current battle to destroy Yuwen, I, Murong Ba, will be driven by all the soldiers, and everyone will follow me. Destroy Yuwen and rejuvenate the Yan Kingdom."

"Destroy Yuwen, rejuvenate Yan Kingdom" Everyone was infected by Murong Ba.

On the high platform, Murong Ba saw two women standing outside the gate from afar, and after a closer look, one of them was Duan Xian.

After shouting, Murong Ba bid farewell to all the soldiers and only went to those two people.

"Murong Ba is so mighty, no wonder my aunt is so obsessed." Only heard a woman next to Duan Xian said.

"Duan Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Duan Xian couldn't help being very annoyed.

"Auntie, you've lost weight over the past few days. It turned out to be him. I saw him today, and he's really very heroic." Duan Yuan teased.

"Oh, if your aunt wants to see me, she can come anytime." Murong Ba bent down and raised Duan Yuan above his head.

"Murong Ba, let her go quickly." Duan Xian didn't care about the underskirt and soap silk on his body, he just swayed in the middle of his waist.

"Duan Xian, you are also wearing my Yan country costume." Murong Ba smiled, "If you can have four princes and two wedding rings in the future, you can drink with Qing."

After Duan Xian listened, his cheeks were rosy, he was both ashamed and happy.

"Auntie, it's the first time I've sat on the general's shoulders, let me sit for a while longer."

"You brat, I agreed to take you out for a walk, and you've caused me trouble."

"Don't say you want it, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to get out." Duan Yuan couldn't help but giggle.

Murong Ba felt strange when he heard this, he let her down and asked, "Are there any difficulties?"

"Indeed not." After finishing the paragraph, he took off the fox fur in his bundle and put on Murong Ba, "It's bitter cold in the north, you must take care of yourself"

"Little sister Duan Yuan, what did you say just now that you can't get out?" Murong Ba leaned down and asked Duan Yuan.

"The fact that you like my aunt is known throughout Thorny City. The Gongsun family didn't want my aunt to have contact with you. This time, I went to Longxiang Temple to offer incense to the late Duan Liao before leaving the city. "

"Incense?" Murong Ba was puzzled
"May it be a custom in Western India. The Bodhi of the West is very effective for the King of Dharma. Today, there are many Buddhist temples in Shizhao and Jin Dynasty. This Yan Kingdom also opened Jialan, and Longxiang Temple was built on Longshan. It is said that it is very effective."

"I wish so." After finishing speaking, Murong Bayou leaned over and turned to Duan Yuan and said, "Do you think I should marry your aunt?"

But Duan Yuan sighed: "Oh, my aunt is still lucky, but unfortunately I can't find such a husband."

"You little girl, you are becoming more and more outrageous." Duan Xian wanted to hit Duan Yuan.

"Uncle, help me." After saying that, he hid behind Murong Ba, only making faces at Duan Xian.

The three of them were playing around when they saw Gao Bi coming and seeing Duan Xian present, they cupped their hands and said, "Hello Madam Sister-in-law."

"Murong Ba, your subordinates are also making fun of my family." Although Duan Xiansheng was sullen, his face was not angry.

That Murong Ba didn't take it seriously, touched the nose of the little girl Duan Yuan, and said: "Your aunt is so hot-tempered, it seems that I am the only one who can deal with her." Then he changed his expression and asked Gao Bi: "You this time Come here, what's the matter?"

But I saw Gao Bi knelt on one knee, raised his arms and cupped his hands, "Now that Yuwen is destroyed, the situation is urgent, why is my name not listed on the expedition list, general, do you mean to underestimate me, I am very dissatisfied." Bi said angrily, his hands trembling a little.

"Gao Bi, please get up quickly." Murong Ba helped him up, "The enemy's army is strong in this battle, there may be unexpected events, the outcome is close at hand, it's not that I don't want to take you to the battle, but the battlefield is dangerous."

"Murong Ba, you're all bureaucratic now. You want to make it so that in the past, when you and I worked together, the dangers we encountered were one or two worse than today's situation. Why don't you just give up on today's affairs? Isn't it because you want to monopolize this situation?" The honor of destroying the country is afraid that I will fight for merit." Gao Bi was furious.

"Gao Bi, this..." Murong Ba hesitated to speak, "it was actually entrusted to you by your father, and I had no choice but to obey."

Gao Bi remained silent after hearing this.

Seeing this, Murong Ba slowly said: "This time your father led himself to be the vanguard, the sword is silent, the military is changeable, if both father and son are in the army, your father will be uneasy, and now you are about to grow up, at home, uncle The other children are all young, if you make a mistake, how will the Gao family deal with it?" Murong Ba firmly held his shoulders with both hands, "You and I were familiar with the Warring States Policy when we were studying, you should know that Mr. The story of how Fu rescued Zhao."

"Father and son are both in the army, and the father returns. Brothers are in the army, and the older brother returns. An only son has no brothers, and he returns." Gao Bi murmured.

"That's right, the future of my army is uncertain, please let me lead the army with peace of mind, as if you were in command."

"Brother, let's listen to General Murong Ba's words, a virtuous husband should not fight for a momentary advantage, but a man should not fight for a momentary courage." Duan Xian couldn't help but said when he saw the two arguing.

"Sister-in-law, you are wise." Gao Bi turned to pay respects to Duan Xian, "Since that's the case, Murong Ba, don't worry, I will do my best in this matter in the army, and I won't let it go to waste, and I won't have the heart to argue, don't worry up"

"It's so good." Duan Xian smiled.

"Our army will be marching soon, we have Brother Lao Bi." Murong Ba bowed and bowed.

"Murong Ba, don't take advantage of the courage of your blood." Duan Xian looked at him, and he couldn't help but hold his unicorn arm with both hands.Seeing this, Gao Bi quietly resigned.

"Don't worry, if you are lucky enough to come back and make an inch of merit, I will ask King Yan to marry me." Murong Ba hugged her tightly.

"You must come back." Duan Xian snuggled into his chest.

"I guess, who wants to go out early this morning, saying that the Great Buddha of Longxiang Temple is very effective, so it came here." A charming voice came.

Murong Ba and Duan Xian hurriedly separated, and when they saw that it was Mrs. Gongsun, Murong Ba quickly cupped his hands and said, "My nephew doesn't know Mrs. Gongsun, no, your concubine Gongsun is here, so I'm far away to welcome you."

"Hehehe." Concubine Gongsun covered her face with her sleeves, and couldn't help laughing, "It's rare that the general is so condescending, I thought I missed your good deed." Turning to look at Duan Xian, her face flushed and she died of shame up.

"Hey, I see that the school grounds are so solemn today, and my Yanjun athletes are always excited, can something important happen." Suddenly Gongsun Guifei hurriedly covered her mouth, "Oh, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, my concubine resigns."

"Concubine Gongsun, it doesn't matter if you say it, there is no sneak attack, outsmart, this battle of destroying the country, and the victory of the big country cannot be won by tricks and cunning, everything is on the bright side."

"Young master Ba, do you mean Yuwen?"

"Your concubine is smart, that's right. Now that the two countries are fighting against each other, it's either you or me. There is a fine line between victory and defeat, so we have to be cautious."

"We're going to fight again, year after year." Gongsun Guipin sighed, "I'm afraid it will be a long time in this troubled world. It's better to ascend to bliss early and seek liberation."

"It's no wonder that the Shimen Buddha entered my Yan realm. I'm afraid this world is so rough, and I want to be reborn in bliss." Duan Xian said unhurriedly.

"Since that's the case, take care, Ba'er, I should pray for your blessings and keep you safe." Gongsun Guifei was about to leave.

Duan Xian and Murong Ba held hands tightly, but suddenly let go, Duan Xian waved goodbye to him.

"I still have a living, I'm just a teacher, this time Uncle Wang will..." Murong Ba murmured.

Concubine Gongsun paused for a while when she was giving the salute, but her expression did not change, she just led Duan Xian and Duan Yuan to Longxiang Temple.

After worshiping and praying at Longxiang Temple, and getting into the oil wall car, Mrs. Gongsun asked Duan Xian, "What is Murong Han's role in this expedition?"

"Reporting to your concubine, she was the vanguard of the battle, and she narrowly escaped death."

"Crack." The Buddhist bead in Gongsun Guifei's hand fell into the carriage.
