Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 236 Murong Kai

The birth of black powder not only represents a new type of weapon, but also represents an epoch-making change in the form of human warfare, and it also means the transformation of human beings from cold weapons developed in the primitive society to hot weapons.Since then, it has killed people and bled wildly, and followed the footsteps of European colonists to conquer most of the world.

Of course, in this time and space, the black powder "invented" by Gao Jingzong was not to conquer the world, but to free the Chinese nation from the tragic fate of being almost wiped out.But Gao Jingzong didn't know that this Pandora's box was easily opened by him, so he was no longer under his control.

In fact, Gao Jingzong was not optimistic about the surrender of the Yan army. The defenders of the Yan Kingdom really wanted to surrender. They had surrendered a long time ago, and they couldn't wait until now.At the same time, Gao Jingzong made preparations with both hands, and at the same time ordered people to persuade Linqiu to surrender.Immediately select a hundred elite soldiers from the personal guard Zhonglang's mansion to form a special operations team.

Linqiu, the administrative office of Yanzhou Governor's Department, was similar to a provincial capital city at this time.In the city, there are six Cao and ten department yamen of the Yanzhou Governor's Department, and of course General Chijie.At this time, Fu Yan, governor of Yanzhou and general guarding the army, looked at Gao Jingzong's ultimatum in his hand, and smiled leisurely.

Fu Yan was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, who was once a famous family in Beidi County (now Wuzhong, Ningxia).His grandfather was a philosopher and writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, and he was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Qingquan.Fu Xuan.His father was Zhongcheng Yushi, the governor of Jizhou in the Jin Dynasty, and Fu Xian, the minister Zuocheng.And he is Murong Hao and Murong Jun who have served as officials, and he can be called the veteran of the two dynasties of Yan State.

As a general who witnessed the rise of Murong Yan Kingdom with his own eyes, Fu Yan knew that Xianbei warriors were not afraid of war, but eagerly looked forward to war.Without war, they can only herd horses and herd sheep on the grasslands in the north. In the severe winter, they would huddle in leather jackets. The shepherds have to kill most of the flocks that have finally grown and prospered, and then slowly breed them in the spring of the next year. Such ghost days are repeated year after year, and the tribe is still poor.

Only in war can warriors gain military merits and rewards. Only in war can Xianbei warriors ride their beloved horses, pick up sharp scimitars, and head south all the way to kill all the Han people who dare to resist and rob them of their wealth. And women, exchanged bloody military exploits for pastures and shepherd slaves, lived the rest of their lives with the girls snatched from the Han, and boasted to the young eagles of the tribe about their bravery on the battlefield... This is the glory and glory of the Xianbei warriors. Tradition.

Fu Yan is a general who protects the army and the governor of Yanzhou. The general who protects the army is in charge of the inspection and selection of mid-level generals, but the general who protects the army in Yan is just a miscellaneous general.Fu Yan didn't care about Gao Jingzong's threats at all. In fact, he was an experienced general who participated in almost all the Yan army's southward invasion wars. One of the separatist warlords during the period, taking advantage of the war between Ran Wei and the former Wei, according to Qingzhou to stand on its own, named Qi Gong) can be said to have made great military achievements.

Fu Yan used the blood of the Han people to dye his official career red all the way.Unlike Wu Yun, he could tell at a glance that although tens of thousands of troops had assembled outside the city, they were all mobs. If it was a field battle, the [-] Xianbei troops plus the [-] Han troops in the city might not be able to defeat them in the field. But defending the city is full of confidence.

The night was dark, and Fu Yan's old body was walking on the city wall. At this moment, there seemed to be no trace of age on the old man's body, and the gray beard seemed to only add a little bit of power to him. Wherever he looked, even Even the thinnest soldier couldn't help but stick out his chest, no one wanted to be underestimated in front of this legendary old man.

As a general of Han nationality, Fu Yan is good at defending the city.In the state of Yan, it was famous for its good defense. In February of the ninth year of Xianhe (334), Duan Liao sent troops to attack Tuhe, a subordinate place of Murong, but failed to win.Duan Liao also sent brothers Duan Lan and Murong Han to attack Liucheng (now southwest of Chaoyang, Liaoning).At that time, Fu Yan, who was the master of Liucheng City (meaning the guard of the city of Yan State) Mu Yuni, led less than a hundred shepherds to defend the pheasant stockade outside Liucheng City, resisting the attack of more than a thousand Duan Lan tribes for eleven days.As a result, Fu Yanguan was promoted to the third rank and became a superintendent.

Just when Fu Yan was about to return, suddenly a Xianbei soldier asked timidly in Chinese: "Will the Han people attack?"

Fu Yan turned around and looked at the slightly nervous young soldier with the help of the torch on the parapet.Regardless of the fact that Fu Yan is the governor of Yanzhou, a third-rank guard of the Yan Kingdom at this time, he dare not offend the sons of the nobles of Xianbei.At this time, speaking Chinese was almost the exclusive property of the children of Xianbei nobles, and almost all Xianbei nobles spoke Chinese.This young soldier must be rich and noble, but he looked familiar, so Fu Yan asked coldly, "What's his name?"

"Report to General Murong Kai!" The Xianbei soldier said respectfully.

"Murong Kai?" Fu Yan asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you have the same name as the prince of Taiyuan?"

"It's not the same name, Taiyuan Wang is my father!" Murong Kai said seriously.

"I have met the prince of Taiyuan!" Fu Yan said: "However, His Royal Highness Taiyuan was also a young man who joined the army. Thirty years ago, His Royal Highness Taiyuan was 30 years old. He led two thousand light cavalry alone. After the defeat, the Zhao army won more than 15 ranks... "

When Murong Kai heard this, he lowered his head in shame, but unexpectedly, he heard Fu Yan say: "It is not a bad thing for young people to think more. Only by using their brains can they win more battles. You can't become a real warrior just by being strong. You are good, It has the style of the king of Taiyuan."

Murong Kai raised his head in surprise, but he heard Fu Yan say: "If it's an ordinary enemy, you don't have to defend the city at night." He paused, and said: "But, this time the attack is not an ordinary enemy army. The army facing us is the Beifu army. This army, which defeated King Murongchui of Wu first, and King Murongde of Fanyang later, and was able to defeat more than [-] troops of Yan State, is definitely not weak. It cannot be speculated with common sense. In short, there is no serious mistake!"

Murong Kai nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, Fu Yan suddenly heard a soft noise.Immediately bent over the city wall and listened, after a while, he smiled leisurely and said: "Small tricks."

Murong Kai said: "General Fu, this is..."

Fu Yan stood up and smiled softly: "Without him, digging the ground to attack the city!"

"Digging and attacking the city?" Murong Kai asked suspiciously, "What is digging and attacking the city?"

Fu Yan is not old at heart, and still wants to make further progress in his official career.Otherwise, he wouldn't dare stick to Linqiu.Now that he met Prince Taiyuan who came to the army to cross the gold, he naturally wanted to sell Murong Ke a favor.Fu Yan patiently taught Murong Kai: "The method of siege is firstly called water, secondly called fire, and thirdly called earth. The so-called earth is digging the earth."

　Something happened at home a few days ago, and it was off for two days.Come back now and try to make up for it as much as possible.
