A few months ago, since the danger of Qingliang, the army of Yan State has been fighting steadily and has completely occupied Youzhou, and half of Jizhou has also fallen into the hands of Yan State.
At this time, in the newly acquired land between the rivers of Jizhou, in the large tent of the King of Yan. The Lord of Yan, Murong Junzhi, was very proud. A few days ago, he was delighted to hear that the late Zhao Emperor Shi Zhi had resigned from the title of emperor and was only demoted to the king. Now there are almost no people in the Central Plains. Lord, the Yan Kingdom has been going south since last year, and it is sure to win every battle and attack. Now the Lord of Yan is becoming more and more arrogant.
On this day, there was a discussion before the army. Lord Yan raised his tent to summon all the soldiers to discuss the next step.
At this time, all the civil servants and generals had arrived, and the elite generals of the Yan State were gathered here. Everyone saw an incense burner standing on the commander's desk in the middle, and incense smoke curled up in the middle. King Murong Jun of Yan immediately stood up and turned to face the northeast. He bowed deeply and worshiped in the direction of Longcheng. All the soldiers also bowed and worshiped.
After the ceremony, King Yan turned to everyone and said: "Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors, my great Yan has now moved south. My soldiers have worked bravely, and now half of the land in Hebei is in my hands. In Xiangguo, Yecheng cannot be conquered any day. The demise of the State of Zhao is just around the corner. Our Yan generals are so strong, long live the State of Yan!"
"Long live the Kingdom of Yan! Long live the King of Yan!" The soldiers under the tent were so excited that the mountains roared to the sky.
At this time, Uncle Wang, General Fuyi, and the newly promoted governor of Zhangwu, Murong Ping, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, wearing strong armor and strong swords, has weathered the wind, frost, cold and heat, expanded the land for three thousand miles, and marched far away from the previous king. Our cavalry of the Yan Kingdom is unparalleled in the world. Jie Zhao and Ran Min are like a mantis holding a chariot with his arms, and they are not far away from dominating the world."
After hearing Uncle Wang's words, the corners of King Yan's mouth raised, revealing a hint of pride.
At this time, Yue Wan came forward and said: "Your Majesty, General, do not underestimate the enemy. Everyone says that Ran Min has the reputation of the God of War and has never been defeated. Nowadays, the military strength of the Wei State is huge, and the strength of the beggar army cannot be compared with 300,000 people. It is comparable to that of back then. Time of the Stone Tiger."
I heard Murong Ping laugh sarcastically, "The majority of the beggar army is infantry. Our soldiers of Yan State are brave and good at fighting, and our cavalry is invincible in the world. We should run rampant in the world."
Yue Wan only bowed deeply to everyone, turned to Murong Ping and said: "The general is brave, and he is invincible in attacking Wang Wu and defeating Deng Huan. However, the Zhao army was defeated at the foot of Changli City, and our army pursued him to the north. The enemy only had one person leading the entire army. And yet, now this person is my face-to-face opponent."
He turned to look at Murong Ke, who was in Murong's second seat, and said, "Speaking of which, there is another person in my account who I have fought with."
Murong Ke raised his head, met Yue Wan's eyes, then offered his hand to Brother Wang, and said to the soldiers: "What General Yue said is true. Now the leader of the Wei Kingdom, Ran Min, is the former adopted grandson of Shi Hu, Shi Min. With a double-edged spear, he stepped off the red dragon horse, showing courage that no man can match. That year I let him slip away from my hands, which is why I am in today's predicament. I accept the blame."
King Yan came down and quickly helped him up and said: "Brother Ke is too modest. My father gave you a small number of soldiers that year, and you only harassed the enemy on the way back. Who knows what will happen in the next ten years, and how can you accept the punishment?" He said, come on, get up quickly."
The King of Yan helped Murong Ke up and said to the generals: "Now the State of Zhao sends Taiwei Zhang Ju to hand over a letter, lowering his title, replacing him with the title of Emperor, and promising to send a jade seal to pass on the country. He only begs me, the Yan Army, to go south to rescue the State of Xiang and fight with the Di people. Yao Xiang, Zhao Guo Shi Zhi's troops attacked Ran Min's army together to preserve the Shi family's kingdom. Their words were humble and respectful, but they were not like Shi Hu's heroic demeanor before."
The King of Yan smiled and said, "I thought our two countries had been fighting for decades, but I didn't expect that Zhao would be here today. Let's discuss this among the generals and decide whether our Yan army should be saved or not."
"Brother Qi, please save me." Murong Ba suddenly said in a row.
Murong Ping only said coldly: "Frontguard General, the king hasn't asked you a question yet, but you answered it very quickly."
"Hey, Uncle Ping." King Yan signaled Murong Ping to be silent. "Murong Ba is the vanguard general of our army. This time he rushes south to take the lead. He is unstoppable." Then he patted Murong Ba on the shoulder and asked, "Brother
Please listen to your opinions."
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the lips have been dead and the teeth have been cold. The Xiang Kingdom has fallen. The Lord of Wei will bring the power of his new victory to the north to attack our Yan army, which will be very detrimental to our army."
Murong Ping just snorted and said: "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. In our country, Yan, the fisherman will benefit."
"However, the Wei state is so powerful that the Zhao state may not be able to hold on for long. If the Xiang state once falls, it will be difficult for our army to stop it with its new victory." Murong Ba only said.
Murong Ping just yelled: "I, General Yan, are of the same mind, what do you have to fear, little Ran Min?"
"Uncle Ping!" Murong Ke advised, "Since I joined the army, I have encountered countless strong enemies. This Ran Min is actually the most powerful enemy I have ever encountered. If he gains power, our country, Yan, will never have peace. So-called
:'One person must die, a hundred men cannot serve, ten thousand people must die, and they are rampant in the world.' The begging army is a division of hundreds of battles. In the Pingliangdu Rebellion, the begging army was a powerful force. Gaoli of the State of Zhao originally belonged to the Jie clan of the State of Zhao.
Elite, with superior strength, so the combat power of the Qihuo Army should be above it."
"Although Murong Ke's words are very true." King Yan turned around and sat down and preached, "The envoy of the State of Zhao is sent to the account by Taiwei Zhang Ju."
After a while, I saw Zhang Ju entering the account, and he knelt down and said, "My lord Zhang Ju, I wish you long live the King of Yan."
On the throne, the majesty of the King of Yan was inviolable. Murong Ping said next to him: "Tell your Lord Zhao that I, the great Yan, have the virtue of a good life and want to preserve the Zhao country, so we can attack Ran Min at the foot of the Xiangguo city."
Zhang Ju burst into tears of gratitude when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "I thank King Yan on behalf of my lord. I, the king and ministers of the State of Zhao, will regard King Yan as my reborn parent. I will set up a tablet in the ancestral temple and worship it day and night. I will thank you again."
Only then did the sergeant outside the tent come to report: "Report to the King of Yan, the envoy from the State of Wei wants to see you."
"Everyone, talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here." King Yan said with a smile, "Just listen to what the Wei envoy said."
Zhang Ju was shocked when he heard this and said, "King Yan, please don't do it. Ran Min of the state of Wei is tyrannical and immoral. Now he is trapped in a fight. He must be a clever envoy of Yan's command. I hope King Yan will refuse him. Don't let him taint the holy ears."
"
At this time, Yue Wan interjected from the side: "Your Majesty, if you listen together, you will be enlightened. Let's listen to what the Wei envoy said."
King Yan nodded and said, "What Yue Wan said is very reasonable. Captain Zhang, could you please listen to it behind the tent?"
Seeing that King Yan had made up his mind, Zhang Ju had no choice but to agree. Then Yue Wan ordered Xuan Wei's envoy to enter the account.
I saw Chang Wei, dressed in plain robes, standing in the big tent. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but he bowed slightly and said: "Chang Wei, the great minister of the Wei State, is here to pay his respects to King Yan."
King Yan saw that he was not showing any humility. Although he wanted to question him, he was afraid of losing the majesty of the king. He only glanced at Feng Yu, the newly promoted governor of Hejian, who was next to him. Feng Yu understood the idea and asked, "Your lord, Ran Min, Shi family."
If you are rebellious and rebellious, how dare you call yourself King of Wei and make the world laugh?"
Chang Wei only replied in a serious voice: "Tang released Jie, and King Wu defeated Zhou to promote the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty; Cao Mengde was raised by eunuchs, but he did not know where he came from, and he died to establish the foundation of the Wei family. It is not destiny, An Neng can succeed! This is recommended
For that matter, why bother asking!"
Murong Ping saw that Chang Wei was very powerful, so he approached him and said, "I once heard that when Ran Min first established himself, he made a gold statue of himself to predict success or failure, but the statue failed. Is this possible?"
Chang Wei said coldly: "I've never heard of it."
Seeing this, Feng Yu asked: "Everyone who comes from the south says this, why hide it?"
Chang Wei only took a step forward and said: "Those who are treacherous and hypocritical want to fake the destiny to deceive others, but they are fake talisman and rely on the turtle to respect themselves. The Lord of Wei holds the talisman and controls Zhongzhou. There is no doubt about the order, and it is even more contrary to the real one."
False, it depends on Jin Xianghu!"
"Fu Xi?!" King Yan was shocked. At the same time, Feng Yu also looked back at King Yan, and the two of them understood.
Feng Yu asked: "It is said that the imperial seal is in Yecheng?"
"It is indeed in Ye."
Feng Yu asked again: "Zhang Juyan, the Taiwei of the State of Zhao, is in the State of Xiang."
Chang Wei only smiled and said: "On the day of killing Hu, there were almost no survivors of the Hu people in Yedu. Although there were fish that slipped through the net, they were all lurking in the ditches and dark places. There was nothing left in the Ye Palace. How could he know where the seal was? He
In order to ask for help and save the country, they make all kinds of nonsense and do anything, let alone a jade seal!"
After listening to Chang Wei's generous words, Feng Yu was speechless for a moment and could not continue to ask. At this time, King Yan stood up and shouted loudly: "The seal of the country is passed down and the most precious treasure of the country. How can the Shi family treat others lightly? I look at your clever words and expressions.
If it is not true, send an order to have the Wei envoy burned."
The sergeant next to him grabbed Chang Wei and took him down.
On the way to being escorted away, Chang Wei laughed and said: "I have heard that King Murong Yan is wise and easy to judge, and he is quite like the ruler of the ancient Ming Dynasty. That's wrong, that's wrong."
After Chang Wei was escorted away, Feng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to admonish the King of Yan: "Since ancient times, the two countries have been fighting without killing envoys. Chang Wei came to our camp alone in order to preserve the state of Wei. His words were neither humble nor arrogant. Although he was in a disadvantageous situation,
, still resisting and not giving in, which is quite a legacy of Zhu Zhiwu. I ask your Majesty to think again."
The King of Yan said with a smile: "I am appointed as the prefect, don't you know? Now my great Yan is sweeping southward, Xiangguo and Yecheng will be in the hands of my Yan State sooner or later. I feel that this person is quite talented and I want to take it for myself."
, However, the transmission of the national jade seal is of great importance. Zhang Ju, the Taiwei of the State of Zhao, personally sent the letter of credence. I have no choice but to believe it. How can it be abandoned by the Wei envoy?"
At this time, Zhang Ju had come from behind the tent, and King Yan simply asked: "Captain Zhang, the Wei envoy said that the imperial seal was in Yecheng, is this true?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the envoy from Wei is talking nonsense. The jade seal passed down to the Kingdom is a hidden object of our Zhao Kingdom. How can Ran Min take it lightly? I ask your Majesty to take a closer look."
Murong Ping laughed mockingly and said: "Ming Cha? How can we verify it now that the war is in chaos and the roads are separated?"
At this time, the sergeant next to him came in and asked whether he should burn Chang Wei because the firewood was ready.
Seeing this, King Yan only motioned for Feng Yu to come forward and whispered to him: "Feng Yu, there are many inconveniences in the big tent. Now Chang Wei's life and death are only a matter of thoughts. Gu Yi, please ask about it privately."
Feng Yu understood the idea and went out of the tent.
I saw that firewood had been piled up three feet high in the open space outside the camp, with a wooden stake in the middle. Next to it, Chang Wei was being escorted to the burning platform by a sergeant.
Feng Yu stopped the sergeant next to him, bowed respectfully, ordered the sergeant next to him to loosen his restraints, and asked: "I beg you, please think deeply about this, otherwise it will all turn into ashes!"
"Haha." Chang Wei laughed, "I'm here to save the Yan Kingdom."
Feng Yu's heart was shaken, but he became more respectful and asked: "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"I know that the Shi family is greedy and violent. He personally led a large number of troops to attack the capital of the Yan Kingdom. Although they were unable to return, they were determined to capture it. Therefore, those who transport supplies and equipment to the northeast do not use mutual funds, but want to destroy each other. I
The Lord of Wei cut off the Shi family, even though he was not a Yan, but in the hearts of the ministers, what should be the righteousness of hearing that the enemy was destroyed?"
Chang Wei changed his tone and turned around to ask Feng Yu, "Now you are questioning me for Shi's sake. Isn't it strange?"
Chang Wei just walked to the pile of firewood and said: "I heard that the bones and flesh of the deceased fell to the earth and the spirit ascended to the sky. Thanks to the grace of King Yan, he quickly put me on top of the firewood so that my soul could go up to the sky to complain about my grievances."
"
The sergeants on the left and right grabbed him and said to Feng Yu: "This man is wild and rebellious. Please kill him quickly."
"Let go!" Feng Yi scolded everyone around him. He only asked Chang Wei: "The Wei envoy did not shy away from the ax and did not disgrace his mission. I admire him, but I do have a question."
"You are so young. I have already said that the jade seal is in Ye. It is up to you whether you believe it or not."
Feng Yu only bowed to return the gift and ordered people to take care of him. When he returned to the account, he only reported to the King of Yan.
When the King of Yan heard this, he said: "This man does not avoid swordsmanship, and is willing to kill himself to pursue his master. He is a loyal minister. And if Ran Min is guilty, what does he have to do with the envoy?"
Your Majesty, it’s just that although the State of Wei has defeated the enemy of the State of Yan, the State of Zhao, it should have been reconciled. However, the world is in chaos, and the leader of Wei, Ran Min, is really ambitious. If he just sits back and watches Wei become powerful, wouldn’t he be chasing away a wolf and attracting a tiger?”
King Yan couldn't help but nodded, "Feng Canjun has a good view. This is what I want in my heart. But what should I do with the envoys from the two countries?"
"Now Wei and Zhao are asking for help from the king, and they all say that they have the imperial seal to send to the ministers. They temporarily detain the two envoys, and allow them to send handwritten letters to their respective kings, and order Yan to choose a general to lead the army.
Going south, these two hungry wolves are fighting. If one loses, we will take advantage of the situation and attack, so that our Yan army can reap the benefits."
"What Feng Qing said is in agreement with Gu's intention." Then King Yan ordered Haosheng to serve the two envoys.
At this time, in Yecheng, after Li Nong's rebellion, Ran Min was in full power, and the people in the Wei court were all members of Ran Min's old tribe and the general's mansion.
In the Taiwu Hall, Ran Min wore a ceremonial crown crowning the Twelve Emperors, and wore a furry dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair.
Before the court meeting, Ran Min first said: "Now that the Wei State has eliminated the internal strife and defended the external bandits, only the Xiang State is left. If it is defeated, we will clear the Central Plains. After I have pacified the Xiang State, I will go north to fight against the enemy.
Murong Yan will conquer my country and restore my homeland."
Situ Shenzhong, the leader of the hundred officials, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the embers in the furnace of my Shi family will be extinguished in an instant, but I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Ran Min only said: "Situ, please speak."
"The beggar army has fought many battles, and many of its officers are exhausted. Now, in the southern border of our Wei Kingdom, the Jin Dynasty has also led its army north to compete with me for supremacy. I am afraid that our great Wei officers and soldiers are not strong enough."
Dong Run was promoted to General of the Northern Conquest because of his sister, and he was quite arrogant. Dong Run only said: "Everyone of our officers and soldiers in the Wei State is brave, and the Han people have been lost in the Central Plains for fifty years. Now it is all thanks to your Majesty's efforts that we can recover."
We are from the Han family Sheji. Situ Ru is looking down on me."
Shen Zhong replied: "General, I am not an old minister talking nonsense. Look at the treasury of the Wei State. We have been fighting for years. The fields in the prefectures and counties are barren and the soldiers are doing heavy labor. If we recruit soldiers again, I am afraid that our Wei State will be in chaos without fighting."
At this time, Li Tekang, who was Ran Min's personal attendant, stood in the hall and said to the King of Wei: "Your Majesty's sage martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and our Wei army is so powerful that no one dares to use its sharpness. With the country's power now, all the tribes in our Wei country are
If you are devoted to each other, there will be no fear of troops."
Ran Min was quite happy at this time. Hearing Li Tekang's words was exactly what he felt. The Wei State wanted to unite the Hu and Han people and strive for supremacy in the world.
"What Li Tekang said is true, and I also intend to recruit people from our country of Wei to join the army."
"Your Majesty, you can't." At this time, a minister in the hall shouted.
