The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 43

King Yan hastily read it, but today he was tired and drunk, so he sat heavily on the imperial couch, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Why didn't you report it earlier!" Yan Wang angrily shouted as he helped up the table.Ping Bo just knelt on the ground, terrified.

Murong Jun came in from the side and said: "Father, my son has just finished the banquet after seeing the father, so I asked Ping Bo to report later."

"Fuyu, Xiaoer Xiaobang, originally wanted to live in peace, but now he dares to invade our border, just to kill him." King Yan wanted to stand up, but suddenly "cough, cough" and sat down heavily. Down.

Seeing that King Yan was ill, Murong Jun stood in front of King Yan and said: "I am willing to lead the army for my father and relieve my king's worries."

King Yan took a deep look at him, and said worriedly: "You have never been involved in military affairs before, so how can you lead the army?"

"Father, don't worry, although I have never led an army, there are many leaders in my generation. Murong Jun, Murong Biao, Murong Ke, etc. are all generals in command of the army. Among the Jinzhi royal family, Mu Yugen is also a senior general in the army. My son The minister should entrust the whole country of Yan State, accept advice with humility, and be lenient. Kuang Fuyu Xiaobang is just a small test of the sword."

"It's just right for the son to have this idea." King Yan was delighted, and King Yan thought: the son has always been dark, Gu Gang reprimanded Su and his close people Song Gai, Murong Ping and others, the son did not argue with him, but only accepted it wholeheartedly, his sincerity is acceptable Kam also.King Yan took a closer look at this handsome man again, and now this son is gradually showing the image of a gentleman.

"Among your contemporaries, you belong to the younger brother, the younger brother, who is the most knowledgeable about military affairs. If there is anything you don't understand, you should ask for advice. Don't bully others with the power of the son." King Yan looked directly at the son, thought for a while and said, "If there is any What is unclear... Forget it, the Yan army in Longcheng is entrusted to you to command, you first go to Xiangping City to plan with Murong Ke, soldiers, state affairs, be careful."

"Father and sons know that Kedi is both wise and brave, guarding Liaodong far and near. A few days ago, Goguryeo gradually seemed to be regrouping. Kedi took the lead, conquered its southern Su, sent soldiers to guard, strangled Goguryeo's heart, and finally Let him stop thinking about resurgence. My son will lead the army tomorrow, and I will humbly ask brother Ke for advice." Murong Jun bowed and left the palace of King Yan.

The King of Yan called out: "It's very good that the son of the world can have such insight into the autumn. Now go to Liaodong and you can do it yourself."

Watching the son go away, Ping Bo said: "Your Majesty, you are most interested in Murong Ba, and you can take advantage of the Fuyu war to recall Yandu, so you can kill two birds with one stone."

"Since ancient times, there is nothing wrong with Kuang Shizi, if you favor the youngest son and depose the son-in-law, you are afraid that the country will be overthrown." Since Murong Han's death, King Yan is now plagued by serious illnesses and gradually unable to do what he wants. The country is stable, and the clan must be safe.

"The chaos of Li Ji, the change of the sand dunes, the scourge of Emperor Wu's witchcraft, the chaos of the country and the bad government all started with the abolition of the former crown prince. If it is not a last resort, the position of the son of Murong Jun will not be abolished. Don't talk too much."

"Your Majesty, this old servant deserves to die. You are lying." Ping Bo bowed down and apologized.

The King of Yan changed his mind and said: "Uncle Ping reprimanded you unintentionally. Among the princes, I prefer this tyrant. Today, I have a king's banquet in Yan Kingdom, and Murong Ba can't go to Yandu because of his duty. In a few days, you will send The envoy greets Murong Ba, and let's see how much he has achieved during his tenure in Tuhe?"

Ping Bo got up slowly, cupped his hands and said: "Parents have far-reaching thoughts, Mr. Ba will definitely understand my king's hard work."

While speaking, a servant hurried in, "Your Majesty, the Shaofu Tuhe secret report."

"Quick, bring it quickly." King Yan ordered Ping Bo to quickly submit the general's report.

Seeing that King Yan had read it, his brows that had been frowned just now relaxed, and he said happily to Ping Bo: "Ba'er is no longer entrusted to you. Now this Tuhe is a fortress of copper and iron. Zhao Guo has repeatedly invaded but there is no advantage." King Yan After speaking, he handed the report to Ping Bo.

"Now Zhao's domestic turmoil is imminent, and the Shimen is widely respected in the country. It is reported that Wu Jin said to Shi Hu: "Hu Yun will decline, and Jin will be revived. It is better to work hard on the Jin people to get tired of it. "Now the people of Zhao are full of resentment, and the people and families are fleeing everywhere. There are not a few people who have entered our country of Yan through the Tuhe River." side.

"However, Jie Zhao is still arrogant. The stone tiger envoy Deng Heng, the general who conquered the east, and tens of thousands of troops stationed in Le'an, preparing siege equipment, intending to invade my country of Yan. The lonely bully took the arrows and stones, put on the strong and sharp, and made a surprise attack Le'an, burn all the siege equipment. Later, Deng Heng wanted to capture Tuhe to save his face. Murong Ba fought with him dozens of times, but Deng Heng couldn't get the slightest advantage. Now in the land of Youzhou, the name of Ba'er has been heard. Be cowardly before fighting. Like in the Three Kingdoms period, children in Jiangdong did not dare to cry at night when they heard Zhang Liao's name. Ba'er has a great reputation." Then he waved to Ping Bo and pointed to the high platform in the palace, and said, "Go to the high platform with Gu Gu, and watch the night view I am Yanjing."

Ping Bo worriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's windy at night, please don't go?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." King Yan still decided to go, "When the rest of the people retire, I will leave you to serve."

King Yan climbed to the high platform of the king's city at night. This high platform faces south from the north, and is next to Qingshan in the north.King Yan looks to the north at the majestic mountains, stretching for thousands of miles.Looking south to the whole view of Longcheng, the new capital of Yan, one can see the bonfires of guarding soldiers on the city wall in the distance like shining stars, the city walls are neat and orderly, and the squares and cities in the city are neat and uniform.In the distance, the summer night grassland outside the city is peaceful, with occasional cicadas chirping and dogs barking, and everything is in harmony.As far as the eye can see, there are roads, ridges and fields.It was already midnight at this time, and the new capital of Longcheng had returned to silence. King Yan looked to the south for a long time, as if lost in thought.

The Kingdom of Yan has gone through generations of previous kings who worked hard to become stronger, and now the King of Yan, Murong Hao, has quelled civil strife, rewarded farmers and mulberry, moved to a new capital, and dominated the northern border.King Yan looked to the south, as if the Juyong Pass of Yanzhao was close at hand.The iron cavalry of Yan State seems to be able to knock down the pass and break the city, go south to destroy Shizhao, and enter the Central Plains, Jicheng, Yecheng, the eastern and western capitals, and even Jiankang. How can the footsteps of Yan State stop at this Dragon City.

Yan Wang leaned on the railing and sighed: "'Birth is less than a hundred years old, and I often worry about a thousand years old. The days are short and the nights are long, why don't you swim with a candle." The Jin family is not a problem either. Now it seems that it can only be handed over to the descendants, but luckily the present has lived up to the expectations of the orphans." Suddenly a gust of wind blew, King Yan coughed a few times.

"This old slave congratulates the king for having such children. The king of Yan is very fortunate, and our country is very fortunate." Ping Bo hurriedly put the cloak on the king of Yan,
"My king only protects the body of the dragon, and I still need my king to sit in charge of everything in Yan."

"What Uncle Ping said is not bad when you think about it, he should order someone to tell Ba'er when he goes back to Dudu."

"King Yan, there is another report in the secret report. It seems strange that there are so many people led by Ba'er to the Tu River?" Ping Bo has served King Yan for many years. For the sake of thinking, I reminded me.

"According to theory, there are no faults. Shi Zhao's government is not good, and the demon monks are harming the country. But now there are many refugees, which is not as good as in the past. Today, it seems that there is no screening, and it seems wrong to enter the Tuhe river. However, the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom The lord has a broad mind, he has merged with the world, and he wants to prevent the world's talents from entering Yan, so it's okay." The King of Yan also applauded Ba'er's move, but the whole country is worried that the border generals will support their soldiers and respect themselves, so it's okay to ask.King Yan thought for a while and said, "It's not inappropriate for you to say it now. It's just a matter of sending someone to ask. Just beat it a little, so that you don't have an inch of merit, so you can do it yourself."

"My lord, it is very appropriate for one person to go to this matter."

King Yan was thoughtful: "You said it was Duan Xian."

"Exactly."

King Yan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let him greet him on behalf of Gu."

"The old slave takes orders."

In a few days, the eldest son Murong Jun led the left-behind generals Murong Jun and Mu Yugen in the capital, and went straight to Pingguo with Wangcheng's personal guards.

After entering Pingguo City, he bid farewell to the captain and Cheng Da, and then went straight to Murong Ke's military tent.

When Murong Ke heard that the prince came, he went out of the tent to greet him, and let Murong Jun sit on the coach's seat. He saw Murong Jun sitting behind the shogun's desk, and the others were standing on the left and right sides.

After everyone settled down, Murong Jun said clearly: "I just joined the army, so I don't understand it very well. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope Brother Ke will point it out."

Murong Ke cupped his hands and returned the salute: "My son has said so much. Madam Master, in planning and strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Your son only needs to sit in the tent of my Chinese army, and leave the rest to us. We will be able to overcome it." Enemy captives."

With approval in his eyes, the son asked Murong Ke modestly: "Brother Ke, what should we do now that Fuyu is raising troops suddenly?"

"My son, all the soldiers," Murong Ke said, looking around at the army tent, "Fuyu lived in Lushan, was invaded by Baekje, and the tribe declined and moved westward to Yan, which is adjacent to our country of Yan."

Murong Jun asked puzzledly: "For the Fuyu tribe, our country of Yan has the grace to take them in, how can we meet each other now?"

"So the Shan Yu has passed away, and the new Shan Yu Wang Xuanli. He was always friendly to Shi Zhao, and he was greedy and despicable, and neglected righteousness at the expense of profit. That's why today's disaster is caused." At the end Murong Ke thought for a while, and said, "But I Listen to the scouts and get the report, he has no long-term strategy, and he does not repair military affairs, trying to borrow stones from Zhao Weishier."

"Yi and Di Xiaobang can only be subdued, not virtuous. Today, our Yan Kingdom is in full swing, and we don't want to get entangled with such a small country. A little punishment will do. However, Zhao is arrogant, if he doesn't beat him I'm afraid that the barbarians have the intention of belittling me." Murong Jun got up and said to the soldiers, "All the soldiers obey the order, help Yu Xiaobang, don't know God's grace, and violate our border, now our army of Yan is under the command of Murong Ke, Brother Ke The order is my order, and those who disobey the order will not be pardoned."

Murong Ke knelt down in fear, and said: "My brother is terrified, the son is responsible for supervising the country, and my brother can help me from the side."

"Yes, son." Mu Yugen also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty ordered you to be a special envoy with full powers. Is it too much to give military power suddenly?"

The prince pushed his hand to Mu Yugen, signaling him to stop talking.

Turning around, he held Murong Ke's hand tightly and said: "Di Ke's wisdom spreads far and wide in Liaodong, and I have heard about it in the capital. We, the King Yan family, work together, so why worry about a strong enemy." The son looked at the army tent and said , "Although I haven't experienced military affairs, I still know the essence of the unification of military orders. I have made up my mind. I have listened to the order of General Murong Ke of the Liao Dynasty in the matter of conquering Fuyu."

Everyone said: "The last general takes orders."

I saw the Liaodong defenders and Yandu Wangcheng's personal guards, under the command of Murong Ke, dispatched Murong's army with [-] cavalry as the vanguard.Under the night, he sprinted and rushed forward.Mu Yugen and Murong Ke led their own [-] infantry and followed behind them. They were extremely fast, and before Fuyu's army woke up, they were scattered by the army of Yan State, broke up and fled.

The infantry then surrounded Fuyu's camp, Wang Xuan was captured, he cursed and said: "Yan Guo cheated, you can't be considered a hero, why didn't you just fight in the daytime, take advantage of the night, and you won't be convinced when you lose."

The generals laughed when they heard this, and saw Mu Yugen eager to make contributions, put his sword on his neck and said: "The small barbarian country, who didn't know about the military affairs, raised troops suddenly, and brought shame on itself." Said After that, I want to chop off with a sword.

"Wait a minute." Murong Ke turned around and said to the son, "Fuyu Shanyu Wangxuan, although he is vulgar and vulgar, but I don't think he is a treacherous person. If he is transformed with benevolence and righteousness, he will definitely be a barrier for me."

After all, Mu Yugen was trying to save trouble, and said cursingly: "My lord, this barbarian has been beheaded once and for all."

"General Zhechong, I have said before that everyone in this campaign has obeyed Murong Ke's order. Now, if he does not kill Fuyu Shanyu Wangxuan, he will return to Yandu with the army. All the Fuyu tribes will move to our Yan territory to enrich our Yan Kingdom. population."

"The son is far away, and the younger brother is grateful." Murong Ke led all the soldiers to thank the son.

Since Murong Ba left, Duan Xian missed him day and night, and he lost a lot of weight. Although he moved to the new capital of Longcheng, Mrs. Gongsun went to Longxiang Temple to pray for the country.However, the king of Yan did not depose his position, and his two sons, Murong Rong and Murong De, were still young, and Duan Xian had two daughters, Duan Yuan and Duan Ji. In the palace on the right side of the royal city.

"Miss Duan" Xiaojuan gently knocked on the door of Duan Xian's residence, "Someone is looking for in Yan Palace."

Gongsun Guifei's former maid, Xiao Juan, originally wanted to enter Buddhism with Gongsun Guifei, but Gongsun Guifei insisted that she stay in the palace, which was considered the last part of a farewell between master and servant.

On this day, Ping Bo Shanshan, the old internal official of the King of Yan, came.He saluted Xiaojuan and said, "Where is Duan Xian?"

Xiaojuan was shocked, and the tray in her hand fell off, and she just murmured: "It's all about sincerity." He hurriedly called someone to welcome Ping Bo, and waited in the tea room.

After Pingbo explained his intention, Xiaojuan replied that he still needed to ask Duan Xian about his intention.

"What's the matter?" Duan Xian asked.

"Miss Duan, the king of Yan heard that the tyrant's son had done a great job in guarding Tuhe, and Shi Zhao was overwhelmed by it. The commanding officer has a greeting."

"Wait a minute, I'll come quickly." There was a lot of noise and busyness in the room, and the sound of the box of eyebrow pencils falling down.

I saw Duan Xian hurriedly left the residence and went straight to the tea room.

In the tea room, Uncle Ping was already sitting in front of the table. Seeing Duan Xian coming here, he hurriedly got up and said: "Old slave, I have come here to deliver the king's decree and ask Ru Te to be my king's special envoy to greet Tuhe. Mr. Murong Ba." Hearing this, Duan Xianwen hurriedly bowed his head.

"Miss Duan wait a moment." Ping Bo suddenly amplified his voice and said, "Let the king speak."

Duan Xian was taken aback for a moment, then recovered his normal state and said, "The servant accepts the order."

"I heard that you defeated the stubborn enemy in Tuhe and guarded the gate of our country of Yan. I feel very relieved. However, the number of refugees in Zhao has increased greatly, and all those who entered the Yan border entered from Tuhe. According to Gu's report, you Without screening, if there are treacherous criminals who plan to disrupt our country of Yan and enter the country, what should you do, I send an envoy to ask you, and you must answer carefully."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Ping returned the salute, and hurriedly helped Miss Duan up, "Your Majesty's meaning, Miss Duan has understood."

Duan Xian got up and replied: "Thank you Uncle Ping, there is no need to say more, I understand myself." I saw that his eyes were indeed determined.

Ping Bo looked at Duan Xian for a long time, then nodded slightly, calm and demeanor, Murong Baguo saw the right person.
