Great Han Empire

Chapter 8 Rising Sun
Ke Zui looks to be in his 40s, with a short beard and piercing eyes.

At this moment, he was sitting in the big tent, eating a plate of barbecue alone sullenly.He doesn't like to drink and eat meat in a row with his subordinates. He feels that it is so annoying and affects his mood of eating.

In the past, when he was with Murong Feng, he was a very cheerful and lively person, but since he betrayed Murong Feng, he found himself more and more withdrawn, preferring to live alone.

After catching Murong Feng, he was afraid of seeing the marshal's eyes that despised him, and he never looked at them once.At that time, civil strife broke out in the Zhexi tribe, and he took the opportunity to lead the troops to leave Hudu.It's up to him to deal with the king and Lian.

Thinking of Helian, Ke felt most dejected.Helian was too disappointed.

Helian is the second son of Tan Shihuai.This man is not good at fighting, but when it comes to playing tricks and tricks, no one in the Xianbei tribe is his opponent.Huaisong, the eldest son of Tanshihuai, is brave and good at fighting, and has made outstanding military exploits.Under the circumstances at the time, no matter what, the Xianbei King's seat was not Helian's turn.But the world is unpredictable, and no one expected that the king Tan Shihuai, who was in his prime, would die suddenly.When Tanshihuai died, Huaisong and Murongfeng were leading their troops to fight the Dingling tribe in the north.He Lian immediately killed all the civil servants and military generals who opposed him in the capital, and easily sat in the position of King Xianbei.After Huaicong found out, he thought for several days in the big tent without saying a word.In the end, he convinced Murong Feng that he was not willing to split King Tanshihuai and the country they had laid down after more than 20 years of hardships and sacrificed the lives of 10,000+ people for the sake of a throne.So despite Murong Feng's strong opposition, he took three hundred attendants back to the capital to attend Tan Shihuai's funeral, and congratulated He Lian on his ascension to the throne.

Just as Murong Feng predicted, how could He Lian believe that Huaicong would give up the throne?He treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, no matter what, he will never let Huaicong go.Huaicong himself understood, so he committed suicide after getting Helian's promise not to kill his wife and children.Huaisong is great, he is willing to sacrifice his life for the unification of the Xianbei people.

He Lian eradicated his confidant's serious troubles and started his great cause of governing the country.But Helian did not have the ability to govern the country.He Lian has all the evil deeds of a foolish king: greed for money, lust, cruelty and bloodthirsty, nepotism, judging right from wrong based on his own likes and dislikes, and listening to the slander of villains.What happened next was very natural, and many tribes were so oppressed that they rebelled.So repression, the more repression, the more tribes rebelled.Such a vicious circle has caused the strength of Xianbei to be greatly reduced, and it is simply unable to conquer the world and expand its territory.

One of the worst things Helian did was to force Murong Feng, the commander in chief at the time, to rebel.Due to the loss of this Xianbei general who was used to fighting for him, he went around suppressing the rebellion. In less than a few years, more than half of the tribes in the Xianbei country rebelled against the Danhanshan royal court.He Lian still didn't know that, under the praise of a group of courtiers surrounding him, he thought that his martial arts and martial arts were better than his father Tan Shihuai, so he found Ke Zui on a whim, and wanted to wipe out Murong Feng, who had gathered the crowd to rebel. Eliminate it, and add a strong stroke to your great achievements.Ke was shocked at the time.If Murong Feng didn't come to make trouble for him, he would be in high spirits. To eliminate Murong Feng with his own ability, that would be asking for his own death.

Seeing his panicked look, He Lian called him a coward.Ke was very angry and agreed as soon as he gritted his teeth. As a result, the conspirator who was scolded like an idiot told him a wonderful strategy to lure the enemy.The plan was almost flawless, and Ke was most amazed.

Eliminating Murong Feng doesn't make any sense in itself.How big a wave can one person make?The key is to eliminate Murong Feng's rebel forces.Ke Zui thought that what the king and Lian said was very reasonable.He Lian told Ke Zui that you paid Murong Feng's friends and arrested Murong Feng.Ke was stunned the most, how could this be possible?If he could catch Murong Feng in this way, he would have killed Murong Feng long ago.Seeing Ke's most surprised look, Helian burst out laughing.money.You have too little money to bribe others, and there is no temptation, so you always fail to succeed.This time I pay.Ke Zui was immediately happy.

He Lian said again, you can bribe Murong Feng's subordinates again and let them rescue Murong Feng.Ke was the most confused.After finally catching Murong Feng but letting him go, what kind of strategy is this?He didn't know what Helian wanted to do in the end, and he didn't want to, so he just listened carefully.

He Lian said, you sent thousands of soldiers to hunt them down, creating a dangerous and tense situation until all Murongfeng's rebels were transferred out of Dayan Mountain.At that time, who is Murong Feng's friend and who is Murong Feng's enemy will all surface.The next thing is very simple, encircle and wipe them out.Ke most thinks that Helian's strategy is good.Even if he couldn't capture Murong Feng and wipe out Murong Feng's rebels, he could still get a considerable amount of money from the king.This plan is beneficial to oneself and has no harm.Ke Zui immediately acted according to plan.So far, everything has gone according to Helian's arrangement without any danger.

He Lian was very angry when he saw that Ke Zui led his troops away from Hudu to quell the civil strife in Zhexi, and sent someone to scold him.If you want to preserve your strength, don't make it so obvious.You, the central Xianbei master, probably don't want to do it anymore.Don't do it, Lord Queju of the Changlu Tribe has exactly this idea, and Lord Menglizhe of the Qiming Tribe is more willing to take on the important task of the Xianbei Lord in the middle.

Ke was the most helpless, and secretly brought his troops back to Duxi near Hudu to station, ready to go out at any time to cooperate with Dawang Helian's encirclement and suppression operations.As for the task of hunting down Murong Feng, he had already handed it over to his younger brother Keye.

In the middle of the night, a fast horse came galloping, and the sound of hoofbeats was as dense as raindrops, waking up Ke Zui who had just fallen asleep.

"grown ups……"

The orderly kneeling on the ground hesitated, hesitating to speak.Ke Zui looked at the sad expression on his face, and an ominous thought came to him spontaneously.He suddenly thought of Koyer.

"Tell me. It won't be a big deal, right?" Ke Zui comforted the orderly who was kneeling on the ground, and seemed to be comforting himself at the same time.

"My lord, the [-] cavalry of Commander Keye were wiped out at Mazuipo this afternoon."

Ke Zui could hardly believe his ears, "Ke Ye is an idiot, didn't I tell him to follow Murong Feng, who told him to provoke Murong Feng. Damn, this idiot. What about others? Ask him to come see me."

"My lord, Ko Ye is also dead."

Ke was the most stunned. He looked at the messenger and asked again, "Where's Ke Ye?"

"My lord, Ko Ye is already dead."

Ke Zui stared blankly at the top of the cowhide tent, speechless for a long time.

Ke Zui gathered the main force of [-] troops, and suddenly began to exert his strength, chasing after Ye Yanwei.If Murong Feng wanted to rush back to Dayan Mountain as quickly as possible, Wild Goose Wai was the only way to go.

Murong Feng arrived at Yeyanwei with his cavalry.The scouts from all walks of life shuttled back and forth like a revolving lantern.

Murong Feng sat under a big tree, closed his eyes and fell asleep.Li Hong stood quietly behind him, looking around from time to time.

These days, Murong Feng and Li Hong often sat and chatted together as if they were on the way to escape.

Murong Feng's subordinates, including the closest Gongsun Hu Wu Bao Tie Lang, they have always been respectful to Murong Feng, and dare not go beyond the slightest, let alone sit and chat together, but Li Hong is different.Li Hong admired him very much and always surrounded him like a child asking questions.And Murong Feng also likes him very much, always answering every question. .That liking came from the heart, not because Li Hong had saved his life.

Murong Feng himself also likes to chat with Li Hong.Li Hong seemed to be very knowledgeable before he lost his memory. His analysis and judgment of things were often different from ordinary people. Murong Feng felt that Li Hong's unique and fresh insights were very helpful to him.

After the battle at Mazuipo, Li Hong suddenly became interested in marching.After dinner every day, he would stay in Murong Feng's tent to ask for advice.Murong Feng seemed to sincerely want to teach him, and he took the trouble to pass on his decades of experience in marching formations and fighting.At the same time, Murong Feng was also surprised to find that this was his first summary of his life in decades.After decades of successes and failures, Murong Feng gradually understood his many deficiencies in military and politics.On the basis of summing up successful experience, Murong Feng corrected and perfected many inappropriate aspects of his military and political affairs.

"Leopard, did you kill this Keye well?" Murong Feng suddenly opened his eyes and said to Li Hong with a smile.Li Hong didn't understand what he meant by saying this, and waited for him to continue.

"Ke was the most irritated. He was approaching us with the fastest speed with his iron cavalry. According to common sense, he should go hand in hand with Queju's army, Helian's army, and Menglizhe's army, and finally suppress us to the bottom of the water. Along the river, and on the east bank of the Rushui River, Murong Ji's army is ready to attack us at any time when we are most critical."

"Now Ke Zui is only one day away from us, and the other three armies have been far away." Murong Feng laughed, "This is the best time for us to hit Ke Zui hard."

"However, Commander, the wild geese surround a flat river, and there is no danger to defend, nor can they use any tricks." Li Hong said, "We only have more than 2000 cavalry, and it is no different to fight against Ke Zui's [-] troops. Hit a rock with an egg."

Murong Feng nodded, "What if we also have an army of five thousand cavalry?"

"There must be a lot of casualties in sparring here. It's not a good idea."

"What's your idea?" Murong Feng asked with a smile.

Li Hong knew that Murong Feng was deliberately testing him again.He thought carefully for a while, and said cautiously: "Tonight, Ke Zui's troops are likely to be stationed at Chenziwei. Ke Zui came here in a hurry. The army is tired and needs to rest. Chenziwei is fifty miles away from us, so that he can This is the safest marching route for the soldiers to get a full rest and attack us tomorrow afternoon. I think that if we attack him tonight, we may be able to hit him with one blow and achieve what the commander said Bash effect."

Murong Feng didn't speak, he stood up and walked around the big tree a few times.Li Hong didn't know if what he said was right or not, he looked nervously at Murong Feng's stern face.

"Chen Ziwei is very close to us, Ke Zui must have taken very strict precautions. He won't give us a chance." Murong Feng said slowly.

"Without chance we can create chances."

"Oh." Murong Feng looked at him with interest, "Say more."

"Ke knows best that we only have a little over 2000 people, less than [-] after excluding the lightly injured. He wouldn't have thought that we would really have the guts to rob the camp, so we first sent a team of light cavalry to harass him, and then every half Go to harass once every two hours, until Ke is paralyzed and no longer pays attention to us. This is the best time to attack and rob the camp at night. Commander, what do you think of this method?"

Murong Feng circled around the big tree again, lowering his head and thinking carefully.

Suddenly he yelled loudly to the orderly who was more than ten steps away from him, "Tell the young commanders to come to me immediately."

Li Hong was overjoyed, and said to Murong Feng: "Does the Commander think this method will work?"

"A good idea." Murong Feng praised loudly, "After the attack is successful, I will give you a credit."

"Just remember the merits, it's all taught by the commander-in-chief."

"Oh, your kid has also learned to flatter."
