Jiankang, Wuyi Lane, Mysterious Courtyard, Basement.
The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating this huge hall, and the gentle breeze coming out of the gap in the secret door blew the faces of the four mysterious visitors wearing masks and cloaks sitting around the round table.
Xufa, everyone's eyes are bright and thoughtful, and their eyes are all focused on the middle of the round table, where there is a map of more than one grade of sand and soil, with mountains, water and rivers on it, including hundreds of states and counties in the world.
Under his eyes, there are flags of various colors, and in each city, there are clay figures of different sizes to show the number of troops. It can be clearly seen that Chang'an in Guanzhong and Yecheng in Hebei have the largest concentration of people.
The clay figures and military flags are densely packed and mixed together.
Suzaku, who was sitting in the south, coughed lightly: "The progress of this war is really unexpected. I didn't expect Fu Pi in Yecheng to be so strong. He actually lasted for more than half a year, and Murong Chui's more than 200,000 troops were not captured.
, have we overestimated this Yan Kingdom’s God of War?”
The white tiger in the west shook his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "That's because the Murong family, those Ding Ling people, and the Huns each had their own agenda to preserve their strength, so that in the end they were divided by internal strife. Now Murong Chui has merged with Zhai Bin, and only Zhai
Zhenzhen escaped with the minority people, and the army led by Shao Xing who wanted to restore the country in the prefectures and counties of Hebei was defeated by Murong Chui's son Murong Nong. Shao Xing was captured and executed. As for the redundant servant She Guangzuo, look at
When Shaoxing was defeated, he was so frightened that he fled back to Yecheng. Fu Pi's four armies planned to attack together, but before they had time to launch, they destroyed two places."
Qinglong from the east sighed: "Murong Chui is Murong Chui after all. All this has been under his control for a long time. Fu Pi was able to last for so long only because he relied on foreign aid. Now two of the three lines of foreign aid have been cut off.
Liu Kuren is the only one left outside the fortress, and he may not be able to fight alone. Although the nomadic cavalry on the grassland are fierce, they are far from the match of the Murong family's iron cavalry with armor and cavalry. Even if Liu Kuren comes in person, it will be difficult for him to accomplish anything big!"
Xuanwu (Xie An) unhurriedly took out a Tang newspaper from his arms and unfolded it slowly. He stood up and walked to the north of the map. He could clearly see that south of Yinshan Mountain and north of the Great Wall,
In the Monan area, at least fifty mud horses have been gathered, which is about the equivalent of one hundred thousand cavalry, and a large flag with the word "Liu" is particularly conspicuous among these mud horses.
Xie An shook his head, and suddenly pulled up the big flag with the word "Liu" in it, and rolled up the more than fifty mud horses with a flick of his sleeves, making them stagger, and none of them could stand anymore.
The expressions of all three people changed greatly and they stood up. Qinglong asked in surprise: "Xuanwu, what does this mean? Is it Liu Kuren's 100,000 cavalry?"
Xie An nodded calmly and said: "The report just received from Tang Dynasty revealed that Liu Kuren originally sent his wife's brother Gongsun Xi to lead three thousand tribal cavalry, along with Wang Meng's son Wang Yong, the governor of Youzhou, and they were defeated.
Murong Chui's general Ping Gui captured tens of thousands of Yan troops and killed all five thousand prisoners. Hebei was shaken. Murong Chui sent his young son Murong Lin to personally lead reinforcements and was able to maintain the front."
Zhuque sat down, looked at Xuanwu, and said in a deep voice: "These are the military reports from half a month ago. Yesterday I heard that Gongsun Xi's flag was victorious. Liu Kuren was overjoyed and went to the Great Wall in person to recruit Yuyang and Shanggu.
The attached tribes in the three counties of Dai County are preparing to take Gongsun Xi's troops as the forerunners and march straight into the Central Plains to fight Murong Chui. The one hundred thousand cavalry in the Monan area just now illustrates this point? How could you say that?
Is it gone?"
Xuanwu sighed: "After all, Liu Kuren is not a member of the Tuoba clan. He thought he could rely on victory to awaken the fighting enthusiasm of the Monan tribes and follow him to plunder the Central Plains. But he forgot one thing. The grassland tribes are not monolithic, or even
, there are also many remnants of the Murong Yan Kingdom inside, and the person who killed him this time was none other than the son of the former Yan Kingdom's important minister Mu Yuju, the Southern Master of Monan, Mu Yuwen."
Qinglong said curiously: "I don't know this Mu Yuwen, but his father Mu Yuju was the founding minister of Yan State. He was highly respected and respected. He lived to be more than eighty years old. He can be said to be the elder of the four dynasties of Yan State. This
How could a man’s son be in the grassland?”
Xuanwu nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because of Mu Yuju's high position that after the fall of the Yan Kingdom, his son was unwilling to move to Guanzhong like others, so he ran away halfway. This Mu Yuwen
, and ran to the Monan grassland. Because Fu Jian attached great importance to the Murong clan, but he didn't care about ordinary courtiers like the Mu Yu clan, so he turned a blind eye. In the past, Fu Jian
When the Luo army rebelled in Youzhou, Mu Yuwen made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, so Fu Jian was granted the title of Southern Lord of Monan, and he controlled the attached tribes of the three counties."
Bai Hu said disdainfully: "In that case, why did Liu Kuren still have no defense against Mu Yuwen and plot against him? If he wants to fight against the Murong family's Yan State, can he still use Mu Yuwen?"
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "The Muyu clan, together with the Taiwei Murong Ping and the Queen Mother Kezu Hun, killed Murong Chui and forced his wife Duan to death, causing him to flee to Qin. It can be described as a deep hatred.
Mu Yuwen also took the initiative to ask for a fight, saying that he wanted to get rid of Murong Chui for his family. If Murong Chui conquered the world, his Mu Yu family would die without a burial place."
Bai Hu smiled and said: "I see, it sounds very reasonable, but why did he go against it in the end?"
Xuanwu said calmly: "I'm afraid there are many hidden things behind this, but according to my speculation, Murong Chui's youngest son Murong Lin, the general of the Yan army commanding the front line, is probably a key figure. At that time, this son also followed the Mu Yu clan, and even
The informer killed the elder Duan family. After Murong Chui returned to the country, he killed his mother first, but only spared his life because the son was full of devious schemes. This time Murong Lin led his troops to confront Liu Kuren's tribe and fought head-on.
The odds of winning are low, but he is very good at this kind of counterintuitive strategy. He may be able to use his own experience to persuade Mu Yuwen to let go of the betrayal and frame-up of his family, and even let him succeed Liu Kuren.
Be the Lord of Monan!"
Suzaku sighed: "High, really high. After all, Liu Kuren still missed the mark. In order to pursue the speed of dispatching troops, he entered the wolf's den. Naturally, there is no possibility of survival."
Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "I'm afraid Mu Yuwen is not the only one who wants Liu Kuren to die. The Tang newspaper also said that as soon as Liu Kuren died, his younger brother Liu Toujuan immediately took over the ministries. Not only did
Instead of avenging his brother and attacking the rebels from the three counties, he announced that he would stop entering the pass and rectify the internal situation. It seems that he and Mu Yuwen also had some tacit understanding in private. We all underestimated Murong Chui's influence on the grassland, because,
He has the most important card in his hand, and that is Tuoba Gui!"
