Yandu, Zhongshan, Liangyi Hall.
Since Yecheng was burned by black fire, the capital of Yan State has been moved here. On the dragon chair where Murong Chui once sat for a long time, Murong Bao looked at the two people standing on the two sides below with a sad look on his face, dejected.
The eyes of the civil servants and military generals were full of disappointment.
Murong Nong glanced at Murong Lin who was beside him, with a flash of anger in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Wei army is now powerful. Since the death of the late emperor, our army has been in low morale and the people are panicked. Wei thieves
Invading, Bingzhou, these newly attached lands, surrendered in the hope of wind, but my brother was incompetent and withdrew his troops and abandoned the defense. I also asked your Majesty to general my brother and His Highness King Zhao (Murong Lin) who had tens of thousands of troops but abandoned the defense of Monan.
Punish the criminals together to rectify the morale of the army!"
A trace of anger flashed across Murong Lin's face: "I say King Liaoxi (Murong Nong), you are sitting on Bingzhou with mountains and rivers inside and outside, you also have a hundred thousand troops in your hands, and you have a strong city like Jinyang in the world, you still don't want to fight
How can I escape with the 30,000 troops and horses that I can't defend in the Monan grassland, and stop Tuoba Si's more than 400,000 cavalry? His dispatch this time has never been seen before on the grassland.
A huge army has passed by, almost all the tribes have sent troops to attack, the banners are flying thousands of miles, and the sound of war drums is shaking the earth. It’s not like you have never seen it before, why do you still say such things?"
Murong Nong gritted his teeth: "If you can hold on to the Wuyuan Fortress and resist for more than a month, I can gather soldiers and horses from all over Bingzhou to come to the rescue, and the emperor brother can also recruit armies from all over Hebei again to assist. The last time the late emperor went on an expedition, the Wei thieves
They collapsed at the first touch. Tuoba Qian, who is known as a brave general, was also awarded the title in one battle. He is not as invincible as you think. The so-called more than 400,000 cavalry are mostly a mob, including all the old, weak, women and children who followed the tribe.
Well, if one is truly strong in the art of war, he must suppress his troops and make a sudden attack. How can he march thousands of miles like this and beat gongs and drums all the way to build up his momentum?"
Murong Lin sneered and said: "The late emperor gave me the right to decide whether to fight, defend or retreat, so that I can act cheaply. There is no danger to defend on the grassland. I also sent an envoy to you to ask for reinforcements, but you kept delaying. What did you say?
It takes time to organize troops. Humph, you already have 40,000 elite troops in Jinyang City. What troops do you need to organize? Can't you bring the Jinyang garrison to help first? It's all just an excuse. You want to use Tuoba Si's
Dao, why do you still have to find a reason to get rid of me, a brother you have disliked for many years? Isn’t it the same idea to act like this in front of the emperor brother now? "
Murong Nong gritted his teeth and said: "Bingzhou is a newly annexed place. The local tyrants in various places are not convinced by our country, Dayan, and are ready to make a move. If I send all my troops, these people will definitely cause trouble in the rear. Once the families of our soldiers and soldiers are involved in these rebellions,
If you are controlled by thieves, the army will be defeated overnight, so how can we save you? If we want your life, we would have asked the late emperor to get rid of you last time. Since the late emperor spared your life, we still need you to lead the troops to guard it.
Monan, we won't wait for death. You didn't even defend the city for a day, just abandoned the city and fled. You also robbed Bingzhou along the way, spread panic, and disrupted the defense system I deployed in Yanmen and Mayi.
Now you still blame me for not being able to defend? All of this is your fault!"
Murong Lin laughed loudly: "The late emperor said that I can take the grain, grass and taxes from Bingzhou myself according to the situation. I have to evacuate in a hurry. I didn't bring 300,000 shi of grain with me. If I take some grain from you, I will be sent by you."
The grain depot officer made things difficult for me. Brothers were hungry for a while and rushed into the warehouse to find grain. This is not my problem, it is your problem! I am helping you guard Yanmen and Mayi. I am not eating for free. As for you abandoning Jin later
Yang fled on his own, and the states and counties behind them all raised their cities to welcome the surrender of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I can't possibly stay in Yanmen and Mayi to wait for death. I follow you back and you still accuse me?"
Murong Bao was distraught and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair: "That's enough. What time has it been? Are you still arguing here? Have you forgotten all about the late emperor's last words? What we want now is unity, unity, or unity?"
Unity! I have said important words three times, is that enough?! I don’t want to hold you responsible for losing the state today. Anyway, you brought back an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people, but now the Wei army has defeated Taihang, and the tide of 300,000 troops has
People are pouring into Hebei like this. How should we fight against this situation and what should we do?"
Murong, the king of Gaoyang, said loudly: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. The general is willing to lead the 50,000 Zhongshan garrison to take the initiative to fight the Wei thieves. Your Majesty can recruit the troops of King Qin from all over the country as backup. The Wei army has come thousands of miles away, all the way.
We are attacking the city and plundering the territory non-stop, and we must be exhausted by now. Our Zhongshan garrison is a fresh force, and there are 20,000 dragon city armor and cavalry, which are enough to fight the Wei army!"
Murong Bao's face flashed with joy, and he said with a smile: "What King Gaoyang said is in my heart, so..."
A steady voice sounded from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I think it is not appropriate to fight decisively at this time!"
Murong Bao's expression changed and he looked towards where the voice came from. He saw Murong De, who was wearing a general's robe and armor, climbing up the steps with the most standard military steps. Standing beside him, walking side by side,
Murong Lan was dressed in black and night clothes, with a black scarf on her head and dark night paint on her face. Even so, it was still difficult to conceal her stunning appearance.
There was a small commotion in the crowd. From the guards on guard to the civil and military officials in the court, and even Murong Bao himself, they all left the table and stood up. All their eyes turned to Murong Lan, and they said in unison: "Princess Lan, you really are.
You?"
Murong Lan's expression was solemn, and she and Murong De walked to the center of the hall, and at the same time they knelt down and saluted Murong Bao: "I have seen your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Murong Bao's eyes sparkled with tears: "At this time, it is really, really great to be able to see Uncle Huang, Princess Lan, and Aunt Lan."
Murong De said sternly: "I have been ordered by the late emperor to guard Yecheng. Princess Tianlan came here a few days ago and told me that the Wei army has been assembled. More than 400,000 cavalry, stretching for thousands of miles, are heading straight for Yanmen.
Come. I want the defenders of Yecheng to be ready to face the powerful enemy."
Murong Lin sneered: "Princess Lan, when did you come back?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "I came back a year ago after receiving the news of my brother's death. My brother gave me a secret mission, asking me to activate all the informants he had left in the grassland, pay close attention to the movements of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and try my best to
Use all your strength to stop this wave of Wei troops. As long as you can withstand this time, the rising momentum of the Northern Wei Dynasty will be curbed, the various ministries will rebel, and the turning point for the Yan Dynasty will have arrived."
Murong Lin burst out laughing: "Then let me ask our spy goddess Princess Lan, did you prevent the invasion of the Northern Wei Dynasty this year?"
