Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 830 The two dynasties stand upright

The first year of the Zhengda period of the Yan Kingdom.

The first year of the Ming Dynasty in Liang Dynasty.

Both countries announced changes to the Yuan at the same time, but for different reasons.

The reason for the Yan State is that after more than two hundred years since the establishment of the country in Liaodong, the Yan State finally crossed the Yellow River for the first time and owned the land belonging to the Yan people south of the Yellow River. From Liaodong to Hexi, the territory is thousands of miles long. They were all the territory of the Yan people, and even Chang'an was taken back.

This group of people who had been exiled and experienced countless hardships and obstacles can return to their ancestral temples to pay homage to their ancestors and proudly recount the glory of the current Yan Kingdom.

This is the historical burden that weighs on the Yan State. The exile was a painful thing for the entire ethnic group to think about. If the regret of this matter cannot be made up for, the people of the Yan State will never be able to make up for it. There is a missing piece in my heart.

This was the case when I returned to the Central Plains. It was a climax of emotions in the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the people of Yan were united to an unimaginable level.

After returning to the Central Plains, the Yan Kingdom wanted more. Murong Chui captured Chang'an, which was very unlucky for the Queen Mother, but for most Yan people, this was an exciting event. When he was in exile, the emperor of the Han Dynasty gave the order in Chang'an City, but what about now?

The emperor of the Han Dynasty has turned into dust!

However, the descendants who were exiled back then returned to Chang'an from that remote and desolate land, a barbaric land where it was almost impossible to survive, and sat in the Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace of the then emperor.

Isn't this the happiest thing in the world?

Now that the Yan State has crossed the Yellow River again, its sharp military might is almost sweeping the world. No one can imagine how proud the Yan State will be when it takes Luoyang into its hands.

But with the two capitals valued by every dynasty since Zhou Dynasty in hand, who is the orthodox one?

it goes without saying.

……

The direct reason for Liang Guo's change of Yuan Dynasty was the change of Yuan State by Yan State. Yan State unified the north, and also competed with Liang State in Qingzhou. It was arrogant. When Yan State changed its Yuan Dynasty, a new atmosphere flourished. Then Liang State would naturally follow suit and change Yuan Dynasty, but the change of Yuan Dynasty You can't change it casually, you must have a happy ending. Just at this time, good news came from Shu.

The main force of the Yan State's court won a great victory in Guandong, and united with the Liang State to destroy the Han State. In the vast Central Plains, only two emperors, Yan State and Liang State, were left.

Murong Chui violently defeated the Hexi rebels in Hexi. In terms of field battles, compared to an incomparable god of war like Murong Chui, those rebels were really inferior. In just a few months, Murong Chui once again completely included Liangzhou in Guanzhong. In the system, Yang Cheng went with the army to help Murong Chui calm the situation in Hexi.

Murong Chui's attack on Liangzhou was so fast that it exceeded almost everyone's expectations. You must know that Wei Guo failed to pacify it after so many attacks.

The reasons for this are very complicated. First of all, Murong Chui's ability is not comparable to that of the generals of Wei.

Secondly, the bureaucracy under Murong Chui was not as corrupt as that of the Wei State. The Wei State was a regime that had been established for a century and had long been riddled with internal corruption. However, the group of people Murong Chui replaced were still in their infancy. .

These two reasons alone are enough to make a world of difference.

It didn't take Murong Chui much effort to attack Hexi. Of course, he set his sights on Shuzhong. Since the Qin Dynasty merged with Shuzhong and had enough power to compete for the world, Shuzhong has been known to everyone.

In order to annex Shuzhong, Qin built the Shu Road leading to Shu. At that time, it was still relatively difficult to attack Shu, but now there are many Shu roads that can lead to Shu. Of course Murong Chui would not be wrong.

But Murong Chui wanted to attack Shuzhong. Not only did he know it, but Cao Lu, who was separatist in Shuzhong, also knew that Guanzhong and Shuzhong were already one in the eyes of many people. If you have the power in Guanzhong, you can't help but seize Shuzhong.

Even if Murong Chui swore not to attack Shuzhong, Cao Lu would not believe it.

When Murong Chui just captured Chang'an, Cao Lu was not worried because in his opinion, it would take a long time for Murong Chui to completely bring Guanzhong under his rule, and there was still chaos in Guandong, and there were also rebellions in Liangzhou. .

But the situation in the world changed so fast. No one expected that Liang and Yan would attack Han together. What's even more outrageous is that Han, who seemed to be stronger on the surface, turned out to be so vulnerable. Hit, it has a hint of puffiness.

Cao Lu knew that Murong Chui was good at fighting. He had started fighting at the age of thirteen. This man had never lost before, but he quickly cleared away all the big and small thorns in Guanzhong. In just a few months, he captured the final victory. The distant Dunhuang County made the entire Liangzhou surrender to his military might.

Cao Lu deeply realized the gap between himself and Murong Chui.

Facing Murong Chui, Cao Lu had no intention of fighting. Facing the Yan Kingdom, which almost unified the north, he had no intention of resisting.

But surrendering to Murong Chui was absolutely impossible. He not only wanted to save his life, he also wanted to be rich and powerful.

He is a clan member of the Cao family. If he really surrenders to Murong Chui, even if Murong Chui follows the rules and does not kill him, he will definitely be imprisoned afterwards, so he might as well enjoy it in Shu for a few years.

After thinking about it, he still had to contact Liang Guo. Liang Guo had been talking to him all along, but the situation in the world was changing day by day, making it difficult to reach the conditions every time when the critical moment came.

Now is undoubtedly the best time. Liang Guo is worried that Shuzhong will be captured by Murong Chui. For Liang Guo, it will undoubtedly be a huge geographical disaster, and there will always be a knife hanging over Liang Guo's head.

Therefore, Liang Guo must ensure the safety of Shu even if it costs a lot.

As for Cao Lu, he originally thought that even if he did not surrender to the Liang State, the Liang State would help him to resist Murong Chui's attack in order to ensure his own safety. However, the Han State perished so quickly, and then he thought of the Wei State. The sudden demise of the country.

He suddenly realized that the world was just a grassroots team.

It is unimaginable to ordinary people just how useless and incompetent those big people in high positions are.

In a word, meat eaters are despicable!

Most of the reason for their so-called power is that they have a large amount of resources and information, and can understand more than ordinary people. However, because they are too incompetent, even if they understand so many things that ordinary people do not know, they still cannot solve most of the problems. The problem.

Even inferior to ordinary people in many aspects.

Among the tens of millions of people in Han, there are not even 100,000 but 80,000 people who dare to die. However, it is not these 100,000 or 80,000 people who sit on the throne, but a person who only knows about pleasure on weekdays. A loser who doesn't have the courage to die.

In the Han Dynasty, there were thousands of people who were more suitable to be emperor than the emperor, but in the end he became the emperor, and the people still thought how great the emperor was. This is really ridiculous.

Only those who have read can understand how incompetent the emperor is, so most scholars despise the emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

What if the ruler of Liang suddenly had a seizure, or had some internal disagreements, and was unwilling to support Shuzhong, wouldn't he have to wait here to die?

After thinking about it, Cao Lu felt that he could not stay in Shu. The front line facing Murong Chui was too dangerous. When the rebellion reached Chengdu, his family still didn't know how they would die.

Since ancient times, people have fled to the south to avoid chaos, especially the ancient Yue land, now Kuaiji County, where there are many mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery, and military chaos can basically not reach there.

Even if the Liang Kingdom in the Southern Dynasties or who knows which country in the future will perish, they will basically stop after conquering Jianye and Gusu. The remaining places will depend on spreading the word. The Cao family is very safe hiding in Kuaiji.

Thinking of this, Cao Lu thought it was perfect, so he quickly contacted Luo Xianzhi, who was guarding Jianye. The ship departed from Chengdu, sailed down the Yangtze River, thousands of miles a day, and the speed was like an arrow leaving the string. It arrived in Jianye and then sent him off. Here comes the news.

Luo Xianzhi is really sitting at home, and blessings come from the sky. What he had tried so hard to do before was now delivered directly to him.

Moreover, Cao Lu's surrender was to directly surrender Shuzhong. He himself did not stay in Shuzhong. Even Luo Xianzhi could not think of a better result than this.

Xiao Yan directly made the decision. As long as Cao Lu was really willing to give up Shuzhong, he would make Cao Lu the Duke of Kuaiji and let him enjoy the joy of mountains and rivers, glory and wealth in Kuaiji.

Murong Chui would never have imagined that his military pressure on Shu would actually make Cao Lu make such a choice.

This major event of the surrender of Shuzhong shocked the entire Liang Kingdom and the people of the world. The Liang Kingdom suddenly gained great prestige, and Xiao Yan used this incident to change his country.

Basically, any knowledgeable person can see that after Liang Guo captured Shuzhong, it would be difficult for the northern forces to conquer the south.

It's not because the Southern Dynasty was so powerful, but because there was no place to train the navy in the north. After the entire Yangtze River was captured by the Southern Dynasty, no matter how strong the Northern Dynasty's cavalry was, it would be impossible to defeat Huaisi where there were many waterways. What to do.

Even powerful armies like the Dare Warriors and the Temple Army had to dismount their horses and boats when they reached the south.

And if the south is integrated, it will be like a turtle that is hard to swallow. Not to mention how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack in Shu, if you go all the way east and defend Xiangyang, this city can withstand hundreds of thousands of people. Army.

It can be said that if the political situation of the Southern Dynasty is stable, the Northern Dynasty's attempt to conquer the Southern Dynasty is basically a dream. As long as the Southern Dynasty has an army of 100,000, the Northern Dynasty can only do nothing even if it has an army of one million.

Cao Lu's ownership had an almost subversive impact on the situation in the world. It directly established the power of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. That is, the Southern Dynasty could not defeat the Northern Dynasty, and the Northern Dynasty could not defeat the Southern Dynasty. The North could only wait for the Southern Dynasty to make mistakes.

As everyone knows, Liang Guo also thinks so.

……

Murong Ke had not returned to Jicheng for a long time. After the army crossed the Yellow River, his journey also arrived south of the Yellow River. Here he directed the collision between Yan and Liang. The Han Emperor's vacillating policy was visible to everyone. The emperor's weakness and hesitation led some people to surrender and others to die.

Those who were willing to die gradually died, and those who chose to surrender rushed to be the first. Yan and Liang continued to annex the land of Han. It even felt that this was not a war, but the collapse of a country.

Since the fall of the Han Dynasty, the king's flag has been changed on the city wall too many times. The nobles are like submissive creatures. No matter which warlord comes over, they can cooperate. After the kingdoms stand side by side, this kind of defection has changed. However, I didn’t expect to see it again in the current Han Dynasty.

In the past few years of the war, Murong Ke was fighting while pacifying the newly acquired cities and arranging the new population that entered the Yan Kingdom's rule. His time for commanding the battle was much shorter, and most of the time was spent meeting with those local people. Taxi people.

The same was true for Luo Xianzhi. Although he was in charge of Jianye, his contact with Xiao Yan never stopped for a moment. The Southern Dynasties had always suppressed the nobles, but that was because the nobles in the Southern Dynasties were too tyrannical and had even affected the country.

The northern gentry were not as exaggerated as the southern gentry. After all, clan lore was passed down from the Southern Dynasties. Since the Northern Dynasties entered the Central Plains from the Yan Kingdom, they have always had the tradition of military aristocracy. This is completely different from the Southern Dynasties. In fact, the Han Dynasty The same is true, there is no basis for gate valves.

What was difficult for the nobles of the Southern Dynasties to accept was nothing to the nobles of the Northern Dynasties. The nobles of the Northern Dynasties even learned from the "advanced" experience of the noble families of the Southern Dynasties. This wave of mutual integration can be said to be reversed. It’s against Tiangang.

……

"Your Majesty, the spies are here to report that there is something wrong with Murong Ke's body and the backlash has appeared. He will die within a year. This is our chance."

This is a letter Luo Xianzhi sent to Xiao Yan, and no one knows about it. …

"cough."

The bright red blood stains on the white cloth were so dazzling that Murong Ke covered the white cloth in his hand. He coughed up blood from time to time and gradually got used to it.

Murong Ke felt that his health was getting worse and worse. The hard work he had done before was nothing, but after the Oath of Luoshui, he often felt powerless. A few months ago, after he coughed up blood for the first time, He knew he might die.

The doctor told him that he needed to rest, but the increasing tension between Yan and Liang, the final closing war against Han, and the appeasement of newly captured lands made it impossible for him to rest.

Moreover, Murong Ke knew that this was the backlash of Luo Shui's oath, and he didn't think it could be cured.

He looked at the Yellow River in the north and the Liang Kingdom in the south, and decided to do his last few things.

……

This is the second meeting between Luo Xianzhi and Murong Ke.

The reason why Murong Ke did not meet Xiao Yan was naturally due to the principle of diplomacy. The Northern and Southern Dynasties stood side by side. Although Murong Ke had a high status, he was not as good as Xiao Yan. If he saw Xiao Yan, he would have to salute. For negotiations, this was Of course this is not possible.

Luo Xianzhi's current identity is Sangong, and his identity matches Murong Ke. The most important thing is that both of them can represent the meaning of the two countries.

This time it is no longer above the Yellow River, but between Qingyan.

Luo Xianzhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as charming as ever."

Murong Ke pinched his palms hard to suppress the torturous itching of coughing. He wore some rouge on his face to make his face look rosy and normal. Today he looked like a normal person. He said softly: "The Duke's style remains the same. Time has never left any traces on your body."

After some pleasantries, Luo Xianzhi asked: "I wonder what the king means by inviting me here to discuss a truce?"

Murong Ke said sternly: "The Han Kingdom has been destroyed, and now our two countries are fighting in Qingyan. Your country is no match for our Yanzhou. If this continues, your country will lose Yanzhou. Instead of doing this, it is better for you and us to have a truce directly. Isn’t it a good thing to draw the boundary according to Qingyan and then settle down each other?”

On large plains like Qingzhou and Yanzhou, the Liang State was certainly no match for the Yan State. Xiao Yan and Murong Chui fought twice, both of which ended in Xiao Yan's defeat, but the loss was not too big.

The reason why Murong Ke made this suggestion was simple. He was worried that his body would not be able to hold on. If others were not Xiao Yan's opponents, it would be bad if Qingzhou was also lost.

Moreover, he also wanted to go back to Jicheng and did not want to die here directly. He still had many things to say and explain to the emperor. Although the horse-leather shroud was the most heroic, he could not. He was still carrying a heavy weight on his back. Responsibility.

The reason why Luo Xian appears here is because he also wants to cease the war. Now it seems that he can drag Murong Ke to death here, but when Murong Ke is dead, he can attack again. There is no need to be here with Murong Ke now. Hard fight.

Xiao Yan was still a little dissatisfied when he was defeated in disgrace for the first time, but he didn't say anything more after being defeated for the second time. He agreed with Luo Xianzhi and said that if he couldn't defeat Murong Ke, he would survive him.

But of course, we can’t agree directly. Although Xiao Yan lost twice in the field battle, Liang Guo still has the advantage on the battlefield. If the boundary is drawn according to Qingyan, the most important thing is who will be allocated to Taishan. Now most of Taishan is in In the hands of Liang Guo.

Now that Murong Ke wants Mount Tai, he wants Liang Guo to cede the land to him.

Luo Xianzhi didn't care. Anyway, when Murong Ke died, the Liang State would immediately launch a war. He pondered for a while and said: "Most of Mount Tai is in the hands of our Liang State. They were obtained by the great Liang Erlang after a bloody battle. This way, we can share it with you." Of course not.

If your country is willing to exchange the pass north of Luoyang, I, Daliang, are willing to hand over Mount Tai to your country. "

There are eight passes in Luoyang, which guard the safety of Luoyang, but now some of the passes are in the hands of Yan State, which makes Liang State very uncomfortable. Now Luoyang is like a leak, with wind leaking everywhere.

It would be great if we could take this opportunity to get the Luoyang Pass back.

Murong Ke thought for a while and realized that Qingzhou would be much more secure by taking Mount Tai. Although Heluo was important, it was actually not that stable. With Hedong in hand, the threat to Heluo would not change just because of several passes.

In other words, those Yellow River crossings were not suitable places for the Yan State to cross the river, so it was better to attack directly from the east of the river.

The two hit it off immediately and reached an agreement again.

Murong Ke asked for the last time, "Is the Duke really unwilling to go to our country of Yan? A hero like you should gallop on his horse instead of wasting away in the misty rain of the southern country.

Liang Guo wants to conquer the north from the south. Unless the entire north is broken into pieces, and as long as there are no more than two countries in the north, Liang Guo will not be able to succeed in the northern expedition. Why do it do something that is destined to fail? "

Murong Ke was very sincere and what he said was correct. As long as the Northern Dynasty was not in chaos, the Southern Dynasty could not succeed in the Northern Expedition even with the help of Shandong alone. However, Luo Xianzhi asked: "This question should be asked to the king himself. Why did he know this?" You’re going to fail, but you still do it?”

After that, Luo Xianzhi didn't wait for Murong Ke's reaction, smiled and bowed and left. Although he was an enemy, he still had a good impression of Murong Ke, but it was a pity that they could not work together.

Murong Ke was a little stunned and didn't understand what Luo Xianzhi was talking about.

The armies of Yan and Liang were far apart and withdrew. Murong Ke first left some guards in Qingzhou, then led the army back to the north of the Yellow River and settled it in Yecheng. He left first with his own soldiers, and then the army With the whole army on the march, he rushed ahead to Jicheng.

Thinking back to the last time he left the army and entered Jicheng alone, he returned from Hedong. The two most important battles he fought had the same result in the end, which made Murong Ke feel a little emotional.

……

The palace of Yan State has been repaired by so many generations of emperors, and it has gradually begun to look like a palace. Although it is still far inferior to Luoyang and Chang'an, it is not bad at all compared to Fenggao.

Moreover, the imperial palace of Yan State has the unique roughness of Yan State, which was brought back from Liaodong. Over the years, although most people have forgotten the sufferings of Liaodong, those who have poured into Yan State continuously have The Liaodong Hu people can still let the Yan people know what life their ancestors lived back then.

Murong Ke had special courtesy in Yan State. The emperor once gave him the privilege of riding a chariot in the palace, but Murong Ke never used it, but this time he entered the palace in a chariot.

Because he felt more and more powerless. The palace was very big and there were many steps. He didn't want to fall down on the road.

There were guardsmen carrying him around him, all of them were nobles in the eyes of outsiders, but they carried him like oxen and horses, willingly.

Murong Ke felt that he had not seen the emperor for a long time.

The emperor is now growing taller and is very different from previous years.

His appearance is very delicate, and the appearance of the entire Murong family is somewhat delicate. Almost all of them are handsome men and beauties, and the emperor is no exception.

His feelings and attitude towards Murong Ke changed again and again. He often thought how great it would be if Murong Ke was his father, then there wouldn't be so many things happening now.

The emperor still came forward to welcome him, and said with a nostalgic sigh: "Uncle Wang, I often miss you. You have worked hard in the battles these years. Now that you are back, I am relieved."

Naturally, the Queen Mother was beside her and she hated Murong Ke, but she was almost always present whenever Murong Ke appeared. She always loved to compete with Murong Ke. Murong Ke wanted to speak, but then vomited out a mouthful of blood.

The emperor was shocked for a moment, then trembled and said: "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Go and call the imperial doctor!"

Murong Ke grabbed the emperor's hand and said: "Your Majesty, it's no need. This is not an illness, but a fate. A lowly person like me took the oath of Luo Shui and ended up like this. He really deserves it."

I rushed back in such a hurry because I was worried that I would die one day and would not be able to see His Majesty again. "

Luo Shui swears!

No one noticed that the Queen Mother beside the emperor was also trembling and fearful. She did not expect that Luo Shuishuo's backlash would be so serious, that she would directly make Murong Ke like this, and that he would end up like this in his prime.

How could Murong Ke die?

This is the only thought in the Queen Mother's mind now. Murong Ke is dead. Who will fight in the future? Who will suppress Murong Chui's tiger? She just released Murong Chui back into the mountains and gave him something that would make him even more powerful. As a result, Murong Ke, who was able to suppress the tiger, was dying so soon?

She thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought that Murong Ke would die, and that he would die from the backlash of Luo Shui's oath. This was simply too ridiculous.

The Queen Mother could still think so much, and the Emperor was already struck by lightning. For him, although he regretted that Murong Ke could not help him wholeheartedly, and part of his heart was still focused on Murong Chui, he was still in the previous disputes between the Queen Mother and Murong Ke. , are all on the side of the Queen Mother, and it can be seen that he knows the importance of Murong Ke.

But now, his talent as a royal assistant, the important minister who can assist him in ruling the world, is gone, and it is because of the oath of Luo Shui.

He couldn't help but cast his eyes on his mother, and his eyes were full of disgust and hatred. Over the years, he felt more and more that his mother was too ignorant, a woman who didn't understand politics at all, and the result was always meddling in these things.

In the end it led to the bitter fruit now.

Forcibly suppressing this feeling, he looked at Murong Ke and could only comfort him in vain: "Uncle Wang, don't worry so much, you will definitely get better."

Murong Ke said directly: "Your Majesty, today is the last time I come to see Your Majesty. After leaving the palace, I will return to the palace and wait for death.

I have something to say.

After your death, don't worry about King Yong's rebellion. You should actively contact Guanzhong and don't waste your limited power on confrontation with relatives of the same clan.

Otherwise, it will only hurt the relatives and make the enemies happy.

Liang Guo is my strong enemy of Dayan, but Xiao Yan, don't worry too much, his shortcomings are obvious, and he will eventually conflict with Luo Xianzhi.

Moreover, the land of Liang State is scattered and there is no absolute center, so it will definitely split. As long as the current territory is maintained securely and the population flourishes, with these fertile lands, Liang State will naturally be defeated. "

Murong Ke told the emperor word for word, and he vomited blood from time to time. The emperor wanted to interrupt him several times, but looking at Murong Ke's expression, he continued to listen.

----

Since the establishment of the various kingdoms, the reason why Yan was able to reign as a young ruler and merged with Han and destroyed Wei was due to Murong Ke's contribution. His contribution was not due to his great writing or military prowess, but to his loyalty. Loyalty will ensure the stability of the country, and the stability of the country. Strong, strong can prosper, and Ke is outstanding in the world, so Yan is outstanding in the world. ——"Characters from Northern and Southern Countries"
