The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 96 Taking Jicheng King Yan to Receive People's Hearts and Continuing Guo Zuo Shi Only Succession
Former Governor of Zhao State in Jicheng
In the mansion, Murong Jun lingered for a long time.Climb up the high wall and look to the south, feeling uneasy.

The spring breeze is blowing gently, Youping really has the warmth of spring, King Murong Jun of Yan is very happy in his heart, the long-cherished wish of our country of Yan has been fulfilled, and the door of the Central Plains has opened.At this time, Nie Hao quickly climbed up the high wall, and said to King Yan: "Your Majesty, General Fuguo will meet you."

King Yan came back to his senses, "Oh, it's Brother Ke who is here, please hurry up."

When Murong Ke ascended the city, he was very respectful when he saw the King of Yan, and he only bowed down to pay tribute, "King Yan, the military affairs in the camp of my brother are complicated. We have cleared out the bandits around Jicheng and wiped out the remnants of the Shi clan. Brother Wang has not been in Jicheng for many days. All hope for redemption."

Murong Jun said with a smile: "Brother Ke, what is the crime? Today, the king and ministers of the Yan Kingdom are united as one, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of death. Only then can we get this strong city. My Murong family wants to occupy the Central Plains. It’s all up to you brothers.” Then he pulled Murong Ke to the city wall and stood there.Looking at the wilderness of Jizhou in the distance, King Yan couldn't help but said with emotion: "The key to the south has been opened, and the Zhongzhou house is all in my valley, and we all depend on our brothers."

Murong Ke knew that the King of Yan was always vicious and his brothers were on guard, but now he talks about brotherly love, and he feels admiration in his heart.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. I heard that Brother Wang went down to Jicheng so quickly. Brother Lai beat the drums to raise the fighting spirit of the soldiers. The soldiers braved the rain of arrows and climbed the wall to break the door. Murong Ba sent the siege equipment to take down the stronghold in one fell swoop. city."

"Oh." Hearing about Murong Ba, Yan Wang showed a gloomy look on his face, which was fleeting, and asked Murong Ke calmly, "Brother Ke may not be here just to talk about the battle in Jicheng."

"I, Wang Shengming, now our Yan army has descended to Jicheng, Youzhou is shaking, and the defenders of counties and counties are fleeing one after another. However, only the prefect of one county wants to stick to the camp and reject our Yan army. However, the officials and people in the county are greedy for life and afraid of death. Wanting to defend the city and fleeing to flee, the county guard has no choice but to send envoys to surrender?"

King Yan said with a smile: "Brother Ke, what's the big deal with such capricious people who change the rudder according to the wind, you can do it yourself."

"Your Majesty, no?"

King Yan was suspicious, he frowned, "Oh, but why?"

"The minister once said in the capital that Li Ji was a master of Confucianism at that time, and he could teach the sons of the world. He is the son of this man, and his father is also famous for his wind festival. Now I am going south from the country of Yan, destroying my family to relieve difficulties, and intending to defend the city with the full name of festival. , But all the soldiers in the city left, and there was no army to defend. He also wanted the lives of the people in the whole county, so he sent envoys to surrender."

Hearing this, King Yan became interested, "Refused first and then surrendered, but there is a big festival, it's really strange, I will meet him alone." After finishing speaking, he followed Murong Ke to the middle hall of the mansion.

"Therefore Li Chan, the sinful minister of Zhao State, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Yan, General." Li Chan only paid his respects slightly.

Although this person's words are humble, but his head crown stands tall, his appearance is dignified, and as he grows older, he has a bit of a fairy spirit, and his figure is neither humble nor overbearing, but King Yan has a little liking in his heart.But after all, he is the king of Xinsheng, and he wanted to dampen his spirit, saying: "You are deeply favored by the Shi family, and you are rich and honored in your hometown. Why can't you make meritorious deeds at this time, but commit yourself to loneliness! Now, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Li Chan wept secretly, and stopped after a while. He looked up at King Yan and said, "I know that the fate of heaven will return, and it is not the power of my humble ministers to resist. Dogs and horses serve the Lord, how dare I Forget. However, now I am alone and poor, with no ability to work hard, and all the people in the city are slaughtered because of my own private wishes, which is not my wish."

Murong Ke hurried forward, "King Yan, Li Taishou spoke sincerely. Our army of Yan is the king's teacher. The Shi family is cruel. It is also necessary to relieve the people from poverty. Please explain it to comfort the hearts of Confucian scholars in Youzhou. .”

King Yan suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Li Chan, I have heard about it. Your son Li Ji was famous for his integrity when he was young, and he was a county hero when he was weak. If you can write a book, you can quote He surrendered to me, how about I restore your post of prefect?"

However, Li Chan smiled slightly, "There are different ambitions, so there is no need to force them. I heard that Yan Guo released the soldiers in Jicheng. I must have been a righteous teacher, but he was dismissed because of one person? I came here for the people of Yuyang. Where will my son go? I can't decide what to do." After finishing speaking, Li Chan stopped talking.

King Yan came down and walked in front of him for a while, but Li Chan did not avoid the majesty of Lord Yan.

"Haha." King Yan laughed, "Mr. Su Wen's ambition is high and pure, but it turned out to be true after seeing it today. Sir, you are too worried. The people of Jicheng and Yuyang are also the people of my country Yan from now on. I will treat them kindly. , As for your son Li Ji, I will not force you. I would like to let the people of the world see that under the rule of my Murong Yan Kingdom, the people are happy, all ethnic groups live together, and there is no distinction between barbarians and Chinese.

"King Yan, there is an urgent report from Ye City in Zhao State." At this moment, a soldier outside the mansion presented the letter.

Murong Ke took it, glanced at it hastily, but frowned, then smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, the general reported it to the King of Yan, saying: "There is chaos in Ye City, "killing Hu Ling" there is no barbarian in the city, Now that Ran Min has stolen the great position and changed the name of the country, the Shi family of Zhao State in Yecheng has been completely wiped out."

Hearing Murong Ke's words, King Yan read them in a hurry, looked back at Li Chan with a serious expression, and said, "Do you think you are happy about the disasters of the world in your country? Do you think it is worrying?" He also handed the military report to Li Chan.

Li Chan looked at it, but his hands were trembling, "Although the Hu and Han are still very opposed to each other, but this is a massacre, I am afraid that the war will last forever and there will be no peace."

Murong Jun approached slowly at this time, only held Li Chan's hand, and said: "My Murong family's previous kings admired Hua and were open-minded, even though they were far away, they still respected the Jin family, Hu and Han coexisted without distinction. The lonely and loyal people plan great things, and they are diligent and loyal to the king's affairs."

Li Chan was so excited that he knelt down and said, "I will serve the king with all my heart and soul."

King Yan helped him up and said with a smile, "Prefect Li, you are too serious."

Er, the king of Yan ordered people to send Li Chan out of the mansion, so that he could take care of him.

Seeing Li Chan coming out of the mansion, Murong Ke paid tribute to the King of Yan and said: "Fortunately, Brother Wang has a large number of soldiers, and he did not kill Jicheng to surrender. My teacher of Yan Kingdom will be like a torrent flowing out of a high mountain, and no one can be invincible for thousands of miles."

King Yan said with a smile: "It's true, Murong Bacheng is far-sighted, but I am also known as King Yan's benevolence and prestige."

Turning his head to Nie Hao, he said: "Master Nie."

"The servant is here."

"Now that the mountains and rivers of the State of Zhao have been torn apart, at this time, our State of Yan should raise all the troops in the middle of the country and go south to fight for the Central Plains, so that the Jin Dynasty will not take advantage of the chaos to seize the land."

Nie Hao cheered up quickly, and said: "Your Majesty is ambitious, and this servant appreciates it."

"The Rucao Edict, except those who must stay in the capital, such as: General Yunan Yuewan, General Wucai Fengyi, General Zhechong Mu Yugen, Internal History Li Hong, Clan Murongbiao, Murongjun, etc., all the troops in the headquarters , gathered under Jicheng, went south to the Central Plains, wiped out Jie Zhao and Ran Min, occupied the Central Plains, and became hegemony."

Murong Ke said: "Your Majesty's ambition is weak in the world, and my ministers are willing to follow the example of dogs and horses."

"May I, Ye'er, no longer have to suffer from swords and soldiers, and fulfill the last wishes of the ancient kings, and my lonely wish can be fulfilled."

Jizhou Xiangguo

In the former Shihu Xiangguo Palace, in order to continue Zhao Guoguo Zuo, Zhao Xinxing Wang Shizhi responded to the request of the ministers, that is, the emperor was located in Xiangguo and changed Yuan Yongshou.Take Ruyin Wang Kun as the prime minister; Yao Yizhong as the prime minister of the right and the pro-king of Zhao; Fu Jian as the governor of the military forces in Henan, the general of Zhennan, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, the shepherd of Yanzhou, and the Duke of Lueyang County.When Shi Zhi ascended the throne, he spread the message to all the prefectures and counties, and wanted to raise Qin Wang's righteous teacher to challenge Ran Min.

Zhao Guozuo stayed in Xiangguo for a while.

In the old palace of Xiangguo, the ministers discussed, and Shi Zhi said: "Now Zhao Guoqun is fiercely rebellious, and the universe is subverted. Fortunately, all the lovers persuaded me to take the throne. I want to help the society in the future and protect the ancestral temple in Guwei. With that said, Shi Zhi got up from the small high platform, pulled himself together, and preached to the ministers, "Since ancient times, there have been no two days in the sky, and there have been no two masters in the country. Gou saved his life. However, he did not think of retribution, slaughtered the clan, and killed our subjects of the Zhao Kingdom. Dogs and pigs are not as good as humans and gods. Now that I have ascended the throne for the first time, and restored the artifacts of the Zhao Kingdom, I will act as a righteous teacher to exterminate Ran Min."

Taiwei Zhang Ju was the first to speak out and said: "Your Majesty's words are true. Ran Min lost the hearts of the people by killing the Hu people. If he pretends to be the emperor, the people are furious, and everyone criticizes him, we should invite righteous teachers from all directions to discuss it together."

"What Zhang Taiwei said is very true," Yao Yizhong stepped forward and said in greeting, "The former emperor treated his ministers with kindness, my family has received the favor of the country, and I should repay my kindness, and I, an old Qiang, should serve in the army forward."

Zhang Chun, the general of the Chinese army, said with a smile: "Mr. Yao is too modest. Fortunately, Mr. Yao is so righteous. He punished his ancestors and moved to Qin. Zhao Guo has almost become a ghost realm."

Yao Yizhong resented him, "General Zhang is too self-effacing, and now the chaos in Zhao State is even worse."

Bystanders listened to Yao Yizhong's words but were reckless, intending to stop.But Shi Zhi laughed and said: "I have heard that the old general is honest and upright, and there is no respect for vulgarity. The late emperor relied on him very much. Now I see that he is not bad."

Yao Yizhongcheng was straightforward and unyielding, so he said coldly: "If Zhao's clan is like your majesty, why bother today." Don't hesitate to be famous, open up the treasury, and win the hearts of the people before you can fight."

Zhang Ju also said in the foreword: "What the general said is true."

Zhang Chun also stepped forward, "Your Majesty, all the people from our Jie family are here to assist the country, and we should choose soldiers from them. The border generals from all over the country, such as Zhang Hedu, Jin Tu, have arrived in Changcheng, and Liu Guo has arrived in Fanyang. Respond to Xiangguo's division to occupy Handan, and attack Yecheng as each other's horns."

Shi Zhi was overjoyed and said: "General Zhang's plan is very good, so that all three armies can be assembled so that Ran Min can't care about the head and tail, and he will definitely be defeated in one battle."

Zhang Ju, however, was worried, "Now our country is in turmoil, the frontiers are empty, and powerful enemies are watching. I heard that the country of Yan has descended to Jicheng, the gate of Youzhou has been opened, and the Jin Dynasty is about to move again. It will come out of Huaisi again to seize Qing. Yan, if Ran Min cannot be destroyed quickly, our country of Zhao may be doomed."

Shi Kun said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Taiwei, the situation is at this point, the country is in danger, and my younger brother will personally lead the army and fight Ran Min to the death! I will return to rescue Jicheng at that time."

Yao Yizhong said: "Master Xiangguo is really brave, but Ran Min has been in battle for a long time, and the begging army is brave, and he is not a good person. Although our army in Xiangguo is numerous, it has not been practiced. It is only a mob. Zhang Hedu, Liu Guo and others have fought for a long time. If you are familiar with military affairs, the prime minister should be good at it."

Shi Kun was disdainful, "The old general looks old and tired, and his ambition has gradually faded. Since ancient times, he has made the decision to kill two or three people in the world."

Yao Yizhong knew that Shi Kun couldn't be dissuaded, so he said: "Fumiao is a decisive victory, you should think about everything before moving, the old minister is just a little worried."

While speaking, Liu Xian entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Fu Jian led the soldiers of the Di clan westward from Fangtou, and now he has arrived at Tongguan. Looking at his movements, he intends to go to Guanzhong."

Someone in the hall said: "The land in Guanzhong is originally the birthplace of the Di tribe, and I will never return here."

Another person said: "Fu Jian has always had a different ambition, and now Fu Jian has gathered all his troops, like a dragon entering the sea, it is unstoppable, and one day it will be a big disaster."

Yao Yizhong sighed and said: "Guanzhong is a place of great shape, the country of the four fortresses, it is the place where the kingdom is divided and proclaimed emperor, Zhao Guo lost Guanzhong."

Seeing that everyone looked depressed and their fighting spirit was not strong, Zhang Ju hurriedly said: "The old general is worried about state affairs, and he is sincere and respectable. However, the decisive victory is not all on the battlefield, but also behind the enemy's rear. Please retreat to the left and right."

Seeing Zhang Ju's resolute attitude, Zhao Emperor Shi Zhi announced the disbandment of the court, and only led Zhang Ju and Shi Kun to discuss in detail in the inner court.

The three sat down in a remote residence in the inner court, and Zhang Ju said: "Your Majesty, Xiangguo, although Ran Min has managed the overall situation of Yecheng, there are many dissatisfaction in the country. What I said a few days ago has progressed. Already obtained the secret of one person?"

Shi Zhi was interested, "Oh, what is it?"

"Now that Ran Min is in power, he promotes his cronies wantonly, and all the ministers in Zhao Guozhong reject me and cannot be promoted. I can't help but feel a little bit of criticism in my heart?"

Shi Kun asked, "Is this true?"

"Seriously, I think that the Jie people are in power. Although the people of the Han people have been oppressed by the Jie people many times, the people of the Han family are appointed according to the nine ranks. Therefore, the people of the Central Plains live in peace with me."

"Zhang Taiwei's words are true. My Jie people are only oppressed by Han Baiding, but everyone in the aristocratic family is popular, and I can be safe with me."

"Nowadays Ran Min started from the grasslands, he is good at serving in the army, he is not from a family of aristocrats, and most of the people he employs are commoners and white men, who are Confucian students, and the people of the aristocratic families in the court feel unfair."

"It's no wonder." Shi Zhi said with a smile, "If you talk about fighting for power and profit, how can you get out of the Han nationality? If there were no Sima father and son brothers who would kill each other, they would lead to the chaos of the Eight Kings and let the outsiders in our frontier fortress enter the country. The Central Plains, how did the ancestors of our country of Zhao come to this Central Plains? The Han people are in constant civil strife, and I am lucky for the Jie clan."

Zhang Ju added: "It is true, and now that Ran Min has stolen the throne, there are many courtiers who are courtiers to the Jin family, and more of them are people who secretly communicated with our Xiangguo. Now Yecheng is only superficially calm. "

"Please read, Your Majesty." After speaking, Zhang Ju took out a letter and circulated it to Shi Kun and Shi Zhi.

Shi Zhi only read the letter carefully, and after reading it, he handed the letter to Shi Kun, saying: "So it is Wang Zhuo, I know this person."

Zhang Ju replied: "This man was greatly favored by my Shi clan. When Shi Chong went south, the late emperor Shi Zun sent him to dissuade him. If Ran Min hadn't insisted on crusade, our Shi clan would no longer have the disaster of Xiao Qiang."

After reading it, Shi Kun agreed and said, "It seems that he is indeed useful." Then Shi Kun said with a smile, "It turns out that this is what the commander-in-chief Taiwei will return soon. Those who want to return to the Jin family and those who want to return to our Zhao country, If these two can be used..."

Zhang Ju said with a smile: "King Ruyin really has a long-term strategy, and this old minister is exactly what he means."

At this time, Shi Zhi on the middle seat said happily: "So that's the case, it seems that we will return to Yecheng soon."

Zhang Ju nodded, "The members of his clan, Wang Mo, Wang Yan, Yan Zhen, Zhao Sheng, etc. all intend to go against the law and want to return to our court. Now, they are using Li Nong's intention to return to the Jin Dynasty under the guise of recruiting them as reinforcements. Ran Min's subordinates are serving."

Shi Kun hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, it's my Zhao country's good fortune, so hurry up to meet him."

Shi Zhi also understood the government, so he read carefully: "They are all leisurely and idle jobs. If there are people who are well-known and respected, anyway, the world of Zhao Guo will be turned around."

Zhang Ju said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, relying on the spirit of our ancestors, I, Zhao Guoding, will have a prosperous and prosperous country. It is inconvenient for Wang Zhuo to speak in the letter. He came to Xiangguo to tell me that he is Li Nong who was mentioned the day before yesterday. He may be fight for?"

Shi Zhi excitedly said: "Li Nong? So Sikong Li Nong?"

"Exactly."

Shi Kun got up suddenly and said: "There is a fraud in this, Your Majesty is aware of it."

Zhang Ju didn't think it was annoying, but said quietly: "What the general said, I also said. However, Li Nong and Ran Min are both the leaders of the begging army, and they are the first volunteers. The situation in the Central Plains was in danger, which allowed Ran Min to take the opportunity to conquer Yecheng. In terms of merit, the danger of this situation is even worse than Ran Min, and Li Nong also made the first contribution. Not under Ran Min. Now that Ran Min is in a high position, he must be dissatisfied, and I will take advantage of it."

Shi Zhi was overjoyed and said: "God helps me, and God helps me." Shi Zhi was overjoyed, "If it can be done, Qing will be the number one hero of ZTE."

Zhang Ju only bowed to thank him modestly: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I am terrified."

Shi Zhi stood up, in a good mood, and said to everyone: "First destroy Ran Min, then destroy Fu Jian, go north to conquer Yan State, I will wait for it to recover, and I, Zhao Guo, will restore the great achievements of our ancestors.
