The yelling and wailing gradually ended, and even the groans of the injured gradually subsided. The desolate singing, accompanied by the sound of soil sinking into the pit, gradually echoed on the grassland. It was the song of Agan.
, a song composed by Murong Gui to express his longing for his brother and his regret for excluding his relatives when he and Murong Tuyuhun parted. Later, it gradually became a funeral song sung at the funerals of relatives and friends. Five
Wanyan captives, in front of death, began to sing this funeral song in unison to requiem themselves!
The songs of weeping blood roared out from 50,000 grief-stricken and angry voices, and gradually subsided along with the sound of people being buried in the soil. Even the more than 20,000 Wei army officers and soldiers on this grassland remained silent.
Yes, the Tuoba tribe and the Murong tribe come from the same source, aren't they also Agan? How can this song of Agan not accuse this brother tribe of the tragedy of being mutilated in both hands and feet, and even killing them all?
Tuoba Gui turned around and rode away. He closed his eyes and murmured: "God of Immortality, I hope you can forgive their souls."
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark. Most of the mass graves had been filled in. On the newly covered soil, you could see that like plants breaking buds, one or two hands would emerge from time to time, twisting and turning.
The ground struggled, and after a few moments, it gradually stopped moving, while more layers of soil were shaking slightly. Dozens or even more than a hundred Wei army officers and soldiers jumped on these new covers one after another.
They sang the song of A Gan and danced a farewell dance. Soon, all the mass graves no longer moved at all.
There was a trace of killing intent in Tuoba Gui's eyes. He waved the saber in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Grassland warriors, wolves of the desert, you did a good job today, annihilating one hundred thousand Yan troops.
This matter will definitely become a heroic epic that will be passed down forever on our grasslands. It will be passed down from generation to generation. Your descendants will always be proud of what you have done today. God of Immortality, bless me, the Wei Dynasty!"
All the soldiers drew their sabers, looked up to the sky and shouted: "God of Immortality, bless me, the Wei Dynasty!"
Tuoba Gui glanced at the excited Wang Jian and raised his lips: "Master Wang, today you have made a great contribution. According to the rules of the grassland, you will also be the vanguard in the next battle. Are you willing?"
Wang Jian was so excited that his white beard was waving: "Your Majesty, Wang Jian and all the warriors of the tribe are waiting for your order!"
Tuoba Gui said in a deep voice: "Very good. Now that the main force of the Yan army is destroyed, we will pursue the victory. Send an order to Tuoba Yi. The army will quickly go south, cross the Longmen Ferry, and attack Hou Yan's Bingzhou area. Whoever captures the city first
, you can dispose of the property in the city at will according to the rules of my grassland, my people! Lord Wang Jian, you lead one hundred thousand cavalry from the north, break through the pass from Yanmen and Mayi, and join forces with Tuoba Yi in Bingzhou!"
Wang Jian laughed: "Yes!"
Tuoba Gui's eyes flashed coldly: "Within ten days, I will have a drink with you all at the top of Pingcheng (today's Datong)!"
Yan State, Zhongshan.
Murong Chui remained silent, like a statue, petrified on the throne. The entire hall was eerily silent. Even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground could be heard clearly. All the civil and military officials in the hall were silent.
They didn't even dare to speak loudly, and the five or six generals of the Yan State who were once powerful, had heavy troops, and were once arrogant were kneeling in the middle of the hall. From Murong Bao down, all of them fell to the ground.
Murong Chui's snow-white beard twitched. Finally, he was the first to break the terrible silence: "Murong Bao, do you know your guilt?!"
Murong Bao gritted his teeth, not even daring to raise his head: "My son's inability to manage the army and the incompetence of the commander led to this disastrous defeat. I have 100,000 soldiers, but less than 20,000 came back, and 50,000 men were all trapped and killed by Wei thieves.
, Such atrocities are rare in ancient times and modern times. I don’t ask to lead the army to avenge my shame. I just want to be allowed to serve in the army in white. I am willing to be included in the vanguard death camp. I just want to kill a few Wei dogs with my own hands to take revenge!"
Murong Chui sighed: "After a great defeat, you still have such a desire for revenge. The prince is not hopeless. Get up."
Murong Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up, squeezed out a few tears, and stood aside with his hands down.
Murong Chui's eyes fell on Murong De, and he said in a deep voice: "King Fan Yang, I trust you so much that I will grant you a golden sword to control the entire army. The prince is inexperienced, so I thought that as a veteran general, you could help him.
, I didn’t expect that, alas......"
Murong De said calmly: "The guilty minister is willing to take full responsibility for the defeat of this battle. Please order that the guilty minister be beheaded to sacrifice the souls of our soldiers!"
Murong Nong shouted: "Father, it's not Uncle De Huang's fault. If it weren't for Murong Lin..."
Murong Chui's eyes flashed coldly, piercing Murong Nong. He was so shocked that he swallowed the words that came to his lips and did not dare to speak again. Murong Chui's eyes slowly moved to Murong Lin, who was kneeling at the end: "
Ah Lin, as the rear guard of the whole army, you did not protect the whole army in the west of Pixi, but you moved to the edge of Shenhebo at night, causing the enemy to occupy Gaopei at night, condescendingly destroying our whole army! I ordered you to be killed and sacrificed to the flag.
Before, I give you one last chance to explain what you did!"
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "I am not guilty. It is precisely because I promised to protect the entire army that I moved the camp to Shenhebo in the north. In the past few days, our entire army has made inquiries from many sources. The main force of the Wei army is divided into two groups. One is
The north side was led by Tuoba Gui himself and went straight to the Khan's court. The other side was led by Tuoba Yi, along the south bank of the Yellow River, crossing the river with our army. On the middle road, there were only a few thousand enemy cavalry, and there were hundreds of enemy troops.
For miles and above, no one thinks that these rangers will pose a threat to our army. Not even Emperor De, King Chenliu, King Gaoyang, King Liaoxi, etc. raised any objection!"
"My son originally made it clear to Uncle De Huang and all the imperial brothers in the military meeting that I would lead the troops to the north to capture the Khan's court and prevent Tuoba Gui from unifying the grassland. Therefore, I was afraid of a sneak attack by the enemy, so I deliberately moved north.
Moreover, Erchen found out that in order to prevent Erchen from going to the Khan's court, Tuoba Gui also sent wizards to poison many water pools leading to Yinshan Mountain. Erchen was afraid that the thieves would also do tricks in Shenhebo and cause harm.
Our large army seized Shenhebo overnight, firstly to prevent the enemy's northern army from sneak attack, and secondly to occupy the water source. How are these two things inconsistent with the law of war? It's not that the defenders were negligent in their duties, it's because the enemy's army was too cunning and impossible to guard against!"
Murong Chui was silent for a long time and sighed: "What King Zhao said is right. The grassland is the territory of the Wei army. Our army's intelligence is far inferior to that of the enemy. We have fallen into their treacherous plan and committed a crime other than war! Now, the Wei army is attacking Bingzhou.
, Pingcheng, Yanmen, and even Jinyang have all fallen. I have decided to mobilize the Longcheng troops and the Yecheng garrison to combine 50,000 troops and march out to merge with the state. Who among you is willing to be the vanguard!?"
