The 10th Murong Ba forcefully captures the enemy's head
The Duan tribe that everyone is talking about is located adjacent to Murong Yan's country, and people in the country have frequent exchanges. It is Murong's request from the Duan tribe. Unfortunately, in recent years, the kings of the Duan tribe have all been short-sighted and profit-seeking people. Kill them.
Liu Kun killed Wang Jun, and the chaos in Liaodong after Yongjia was started by the Duan family.
Since this year, Shi Zhao has repeatedly promised Duan Bu a huge profit, and news of Duan Bu's rebellion has been heard endlessly. The border scouts of the Murong family also reported daily, and the Yan Kingdom's court was always paying attention to Duan Bu's situation.
After all, it is a country of in-laws. If there is no definite evidence, Yan Lord Murong Hui wants to take it, but it is unreasonable. He is afraid that the ministers in the country will object. When he first heard the news of the rebellion, the Yan Lord was not afraid of revolt.
The Lord of Yan was originally planning to personally conquer the Duan tribe. However, firstly, the Duan tribe was a country of in-laws, so it was difficult to do so for fear of being criticized by others. Secondly, among the Liaodong kingdoms, although attacks were frequent, they never attempted to destroy the country. Now Duan is destroyed.
This is an unparalleled achievement. Lord Yan definitely wants to monopolize this achievement.
During the early morning discussion that day, the King of Yan decided to personally lead the army. Except for the border guards and the troops stationed in various places who could not be dispatched, he would dispatch all the troops inside and outside the capital. There were many leading generals in the court, such as Sili Yangquan, Cavalry Commander Murong Ba, and the former
Military advisor Murong Ping, General Zhechong Mu Yugen, General Mu Yuni and others were all dispatched.
The King of Yan originally thought that Jianwei General Murong Han had just returned to the country and asked him to rest in the capital. On that day, the King of Yan planned with his ministers and decided on the deployment of troops, but did not give any instructions to Murong Han. Murong Han left the table.
He stepped forward and took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "King Yan, I have lived in Duanbu for a long time. I know the mountains and rivers in the country and the layout of the troops. I will definitely be able to make the best use of the situation for our Yan army, avoid the real situation and attack the weak points, seize the pass and take orders directly."
Branch city."
"Brother Han has returned home not long ago, and has been in Yuwen for a long time due to severe wind and cold, so his health will no longer be good. I originally wanted you to resume stationing in Liaodong, but now Murong Ke has gradually gained power and it is difficult to replace him. In the place of Duanbu, I, the Prime Minister of the Yan Army,
There are many people who are familiar with it, so don't bother Brother Han." King Yan did not agree and only allowed Murong Han to take his seat.
But Murong Ba stood up and said to his father: "Father, what Uncle Wang said is true. He has been in the army for a long time, and he is afraid that others will not be as good as others in this military and horse battle formation. And there is a saying in the art of war: 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles.' I
Among the generals who are leading the army, I know that only Uncle Wang is the one who arranges the Duan tribe. I sincerely ask my father to allow Uncle Wang to accompany the army on the expedition."
Yang Yu also said: "General Murong Han has a long-standing reputation, and many people in the Duan tribe are afraid of the general. For the sake of the Yan army, I sincerely ask my king to let him go on the expedition."
All the generals petitioned for Murong Han one after another, so the King of Yan also added General Jianwei to the list of generals to be recruited.
After the discussion, everyone went home one after another, and Murong Han followed the ministers to leave the palace. However, they saw Madam Gongsun and her maid Xiaojuan standing not far away. Seeing Murong Han, Madam Gongsun hurriedly saluted Murong Han: "
I pay my respects to General Jianwei."
Murong Han was startled, and then he calmed down and said, "I have seen Mrs. Gongsun. I still have military duties. I forgive you that I cannot stay for a long time. I will leave."
"You are so unreasonable. You don't know the pain my wife suffered after you left, but today you..." Xiaojuan couldn't help but said angrily.
"Xiaojuan, don't talk too much. This is military affairs. Don't miss important events." Mrs. Gongsun quickly pulled Xiaojuan aside and scolded him. Then she bowed politely and saluted Murong Han, "I've delayed the general."
Time, I hope you can forgive me."
After saying that, he turned around and headed towards his bedroom without looking back.
After walking for dozens of steps, Xiao Juan quietly turned around, only to see Murong Han still standing where he was.
"Madam, I really have nothing to say." Xiaojuan heard this.
Mrs. Gongsun didn't say anything, and suddenly quickened her pace, walking farther and farther away from Murong Han.
On the second day, all the troops of the Yan army gathered at the gate of Jicheng City. They saw that the army was neatly dressed, with armor and swords, and a murderous atmosphere.
An ancient saying goes: The emperor is about to go on an expedition, which is similar to God, suitable for society, and created by you. Now he is going out for a battle to destroy the country. King Yan built a high platform in the southern suburbs, placed an incense case on it, burned incense, and offered sacrifices with Tailao. But he saw a chief priest. This person is like Tai Zhu in the Yin Dynasty, who took the personal letter of the King of Yan and read it out, and then threw it into the cauldron and burned it to inform the heaven.
After all the soldiers bowed and kowtowed three times and swore an oath, they headed towards Duanbu with murderous intent.
When the army was marching, the King of Yan asked about the people around him: "This time our army is so powerful that it is easy to destroy Duan with the force of thunder. It is difficult to win over the people after Duan is destroyed and use it for our country Yan."
The Yang ducks galloped along with the horses, holding the reins in their hands and said: "What my king said is true. The Duan brothers are dedicated to martial arts and are not polite to scholars. They do not use talented people, which leads to the decline of the country."
"The strength of mountains and rivers lies in virtue rather than danger." King Yan lowered his head and muttered.
Yang Yu cupped his hands and said, "My king is a great virtuous man with ancient traditions, and the country of Yan is very lucky. I heard that Duan Bu Yang Shilun is loyal, resolute, thrifty, honest and righteous, and is inferior to others. If my king can accept this person, then the subjects of Duan Bu will be Don’t be afraid.”
King Yan thought thoughtfully: "You said Yang Shilun, isn't it Yang Yu, Yang Zuocheng?"
Yang Yu nodded.
The King of Yan stroked his chin and said: "Don't avoid relatives when you are promoted internally, Yang Shiqiu, and promote scholars for the country, it is our country's good fortune."
Murong Huang raised his sword and pointed to the sky, shouting to all the soldiers: "I, the army of the Yan State, have liberated the people and only punished the culprits and the evildoers. Our troops have never committed any crimes, including their subjects and common people. Do you know this?"
All the soldiers shouted: "Promise."
When the soldiers passed Liucheng, they saw a mountain standing next to the river. It was magnificent in shape. King Yan asked the people around him: "Does this mountain have a name?"
I saw Murong Han driving his horse forward and reporting to the King of Yan: "This mountain is called Longshan. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Yan State came from this east to pacify Dongyi, and Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan from the north and settled here."
"Longshan, this name is very good. From now on, our Yan State will map the Central Plains to the south. After Duanbu is pacified, our Yan State will directly face Shi Zhao in the south. Jicheng is small, and it is quite inconvenient to send orders and mobilize troops. From now on, our Yan State will use Mountain Build a new capital on the yang of the river and the yin of the water, and call it "Dragon City". It means that our Yan Kingdom will have a dragon leaping through the nine heavens."
Everyone praises him for his kindness.
When the troops arrived at Lingzhi City, they saw King Yan leading a large group of troops to attack the city. He also sent Murong Ba to ambush in the Miyun Mountain next to the city. This was the only way to escape from Shi Zhao in the south.
Na Ling Branch City is difficult to defend. In addition, the Duan tribe has lost troops and generals in the past few years. The generals have no fighting spirit and the soldiers have no morale. The Yan army is in good order. Before attacking the city again, they have sent out detailed troops to sneak into the city and know the advantages and disadvantages. , all presented their words, and all the people in the branch city of the city were eating pots of pulp to welcome Master Yan.
What's more, Murong Han's banner was erected in the center of the Yan army. The banner had the word "Han" capitalized on it. The soldiers guarding the city were frightened when they saw this. It didn't take long for the Yan army to capture Lingzhi City.
But when the city was destroyed, Duan Liao led Duan Gong, Duan Qin, Duan Si and other members of the Duan tribe to flee to Shi Zhao.
As expected, Murong Ba intercepted the enemy's route in Miyun Mountain. Unexpectedly, Shi Zhao sent troops to lead him away, and Murong Ba and Gao Bi had to fight to the death.
"Murong Ba, the situation is critical, just kill Duan Liao and defeat Zhao Wang." After saying this, Gao Bi was about to attack Duan Liao.
"Absolutely not. How can we judge the enemy's monarch well?" After saying this, he stretched out his scimitar to block Gao Bi.
I saw the Zhao army coming from the south like a tide, Gao Bi and Murong Ba fought and retreated, and gradually retreated towards Lingzhi City.
As for the Yan army, there was a surprise attack by Zhao soldiers in front of them, and Duan's enemy leaders were behind them, so they were out of power.
When the two armies met, the people in that section took advantage of the gap between the Yan army's troops and rushed straight towards the Zhao army.
Murong Ba and Gao Bi clapped their horses and stepped forward, intending to stop them. After all, the Duan family members were also experienced in battles. They saw those few people rushing left and right, covering each other. They gradually moved closer to the Zhao army, and the Zhao army also moved towards the Zhao army.
Several people rushed over. They saw Duan Gong, Duan Qin, Duan Si and others forcing their way out of the encirclement. When Duan Liao was about to break out, Murong Ba came out from the side, and his horse was frightened. Duan Liao fell from his horse, and the surrounding area was surrounded.
The sergeant was angry and wanted to kill him, but Gao Bi stopped him.
Murong Ba shouted: "Generals withdraw their troops. Unless I order them, they will not be willing to fight." All the soldiers hurriedly marched towards Lingzhi City. Seeing that the Yan army was getting better and better, and it was difficult to find a fighting opportunity, the Zhao soldiers also retreated to the Zhao border.
"If Duan Gong, Duan Qin, Duan Si and others escape, our country of Yan will be deeply worried." Gao Bi said worriedly.
Murong Ba also blamed himself and asked his father to apologize.
King Murong Huang of Yan led his army into the palace of Lingzhi Duanbu, but he saw that Duanbu spared no efforts in the people's efforts. The palace was much larger than the palace of Yan in Jicheng City. The leaders of Duanbu were in a hurry. The family members in the palace and the officials of various ministries were all
They were not taken away. In addition, Qiu did not invade the places where the Yan army passed, so everyone in the Duan Dynasty was safe.
"Report to King Yan that Yang Yu has arrived outside the palace." A sergeant hurriedly came to King Yan.
King Yan was overjoyed when he heard about it and wanted to go out to greet him personally.
Murong Ping was worried and said to the King of Yan: "This is a new addition to the Duan Department. I am afraid that it may be deceitful. I hope Brother Wang will think twice."
The King of Yan did not take it seriously and said: "There is no need to worry about my brother, Guzheng wants to conquer the world. Yang Shilun, the people of Duanbu are looking forward to him. If he is accepted, the people of Duanbu will love him and return to him, and our country of Yan will have no worries."
"Your Majesty is so generous, although the Duke of Zhou cannot compare with me, it is a great blessing for my Yang clan to be able to return my brother to the Yan Kingdom." Yang Yu took the lead and cupped his hands.
After saying this, King Yan went to greet Yang Yu without even tidying up his clothes.
"First, Cao Cao went barefoot to welcome Xu You. Now I have to meet the King of Yan who has treated him with too much courtesy. I am very frightened." At this time, Yang Yu came to the entrance of the palace and saw the King of Yan personally greeting him. He was very respectful.
King Yan picked up Yang Yu and went to the palace hand in hand. "There is an old saying: "The Duke of Zhou vomited his blessings to the world and returned to his heart, and he alone defeated thousands of troops and horses." King Yan held Yang Yu's hand tightly and said, "I
When the Yan State conquered the Duan tribe, the one who gained the most was none other than Qing."
Suddenly, he heard a message and ordered soldiers to rush in, shouting: "Urgent report, urgent report."
Namu Yugen received the urgent report and hurriedly presented it to King Yan. King Yan was shocked when he saw it and said, "No, my son is in danger."
The soldiers circulated the urgent report, and Murong Han reported to the King of Yan: "The King of Yan is worried. I have been in Duan for a long time. He and Shi Zhao are seemingly inseparable. Although they have made an alliance, they will not use all their strength to rescue them. Moreover, our Yan army has already
When we enter Lingzhi, the situation has been decided, and the Zhao army will not come to rescue them when they see that the fighter plane has passed."
Murong Han was in Duanbu and had a good understanding of the situation. Having said this, the generals felt at ease.
"It's Ba'er! When we encounter the Zhao army unexpectedly, if we don't have a brave strategy, we will definitely be in danger." King Yan regretted, "I was neglectful as a father. I suddenly took on a big responsibility, but I am still young after all."
"King Yan, I want to lead the troops forward." I saw Murong Han stepping out with an arrow, "I am very happy that my nephew is brave and brave. It is okay for our country of Yan to lose my minister, but my nephew is still young." Then.
Murong Han turned around and said to the ministers, "I see that this boy is braver than others. If time passes, he will become a pillar of our Yan Kingdom. It is easy to get a thousand armies but it is hard to find a general. I will fight to the death to rescue Ba'er."
Murong Han was about to leave the palace gate when a messenger suddenly arrived.
King Yan opened the watch and played it, read it and laughed.
Everyone was confused. Murong Ping stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wang, what is the content of this urgent report?"
King Yan circulated the urgent report to all the generals.
King Yan said: "After all, my father never loved him wrongly. Ba'er is very brave and strategic."
After reading this report, all the generals knew that Murong Ba had escaped safely and escorted the enemy's leader Duan Liao on his way to Lingzhi City. Although he blamed himself in the report for letting the rest of the Duan family run away, it was already a great achievement to capture the enemy's leader. .
All the generals shouted in unison: "Congratulations to my king for capturing the enemy's leader."
Murong Ba led his troops to retreat from Miyun Mountain. He originally wanted to invite himself to the imperial court, but he was already prepared to demote his official position and reduce his title. He saw that Murong Ba secretly wanted to enter Lingzhi City through the side gate, without thinking about the gate guards. Refuse Murong Ba's request to enter the city.
"Brother Gao, this time we should go back to Dongxiang Academy and study for a few more years. The matter has come to this, and it has nothing to do with you that I blame my father." Murong Ba was annoyed.
"Murong Ba, I don't think this is possible?" Gao Bi hesitated for a while, "If you lose your troops and lose your territory, your commander will be questioned. Now that you have come to the table, isn't it strange that King Yan has no intention at all?"
"For now, let's go to the main entrance."
After saying that, the two men led the troops and Duan Liao and entered from the main gate of Lingzhi. They saw Murong Han already greeting him at the gate. Murong Ba flew off his horse and was about to kneel down on the ground when he saw Murong Han hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said : "Ba'er, your father is very happy for this meritorious service and has specially ordered your uncle to come here to welcome you."
"Uncle, this... Ba'er lost an army and lost a general, and many of his men were kidnapped by the Zhao soldiers. He was about to plead guilty, but uncle stopped making fun of me. Murong Ba said to Murong Han angrily.
"Hey, look at what you said, how could my uncle lie to you? You captured Duan Liao, which is indeed a great achievement. I didn't expect you to encounter Zhao soldiers unexpectedly, but now you have escaped without a trace. Your father is too late to be happy, so how can you punish him? For you." Murong Han put his hands on his back and said, "Hurry up and enter Lingzhi Palace, your father wants to see you."
"Do you really mean what your uncle said?"
"really."
After saying this, Murong Ba and Gao Bi walked straight to the palace of Lingzhi, with his soldiers escorting Duan Liao and following him.
Murong Huang saw Ba'er coming from a distance, and he already stood up and shouted: "Ba'er, come here quickly, this battle is extremely dangerous. Seeing that you are safe, my father feels at ease."
"Thank you for your concern, father. However, I was unlucky to have many of the Duan clan kidnapped by the Zhao soldiers. My heart is uneasy, so..." Murong Ba wanted to lean over and apologize to King Yan.
"It doesn't matter, it's your first time to lead an army alone, and you have achieved such a feat, which is really rare. You are able to fight with your whole body when encountering an enemy, which is beyond my father's expectations. How can I blame you? Haha, my son is braver than me." After saying this, he summoned the palace officials to give Murong Ba and Gao Bi a seat.
King Yan turned around and returned to the throne, and shouted sternly at Duan Liao who was captured in the palace, "Old thief Duan, I took you in with kindness, why did you rebel against me?"
"The weak should be combined with the strong, and the small should be combined with the large. Isn't it destiny? You don't need to say more." Liao didn't even raise his head during that period.
"You have a strong backbone. Let's see if it is the sword in my hand that is stronger or your head." King Yan slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"You and I are both barbarians. It is only because of the fall of the king of the Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains, and you Xianbei Murong, that we entered this peaceful land from the grassland." Duan Liao wanted to straighten up, but was suppressed by the sergeants on the left and right, unable to raise his head, and cursed angrily. He said, "Your troops can enter this Pingzhou because of the benevolence of my late king. That's all. Success and defeat have their own destiny. Today I am defeated. I don't know who will die tomorrow."
"Come here, I will send you back to the west today." After saying this, he exited and beheaded.
Not long after, the executioner had cut off the head and presented it to the King of Yan. The King of Yan waved his hand and said: "In terms of etiquette, it's just an orphan's brother-in-law, so that's fine." So he ordered people to sew the head of the man to the body, put it in a beautiful burial, and sent it to the State of Zhao.
.
King Yan turned around and took his seat and said: "It's a pity that Gu's strength is not enough and he can't take Jicheng. In the future, Gu will definitely compete with that stone tiger."
Murong Huang looked at Murong Ba who was still covered in blood. After only a year, Ba'er became more erect and tall. He was already a seven-foot man and had lost his tenderness. Seeing this, King Yan murmured to himself: "
Subclass me, subclass me.”
Although the voice was soft, the ministers nearby could hear it clearly.
Murong Huang asked about his left and right, "The generals think that Murong Ba's contribution to capturing the enemy's leader in this battle is indispensable. Is it feasible to make him a general?"
All the ministers in the hall did not reply. Murong Ping was the only one who said: "Ba'er, although we captured the enemy's leader in this battle, it was really a fluke and we lost a lot of troops. The merits and demerits are balanced by the merits and demerits. No seal or reward."
"No, young talents should be rewarded." Murong Han stepped forward slowly and said, "What Brother Ping said is not unreasonable. However, Ba'er has led an army by himself, so he should be made a general." Murong Han looked at Murong.
Ba's eyes are full of kindness.
"Murong Han, this little boy who has been granted the title of general will make others laugh at the fact that we, the Yan Kingdom, have no one." Murong Ping was already angry.
"Don't be angry if you criticize me. What Brother Wang said is not unreasonable. There are many talented people in our country of Yan, and they are not comparable to those of Shi Zhao, Cheng Han, and Jin Dynasty. Moreover, our country of Yan employs people in no particular pattern. Every meritorious service will be rewarded. We have sent an order to confer the title of Murong Ba."
He was appointed Zhonglang General, and Gao Bi was named his deputy general."
Unexpectedly, Gao Bi also got an official position, and both of them thanked the King of Yan.
"Murong Ba, my father wanted to give you the title of General Ping Di." All the officials in the hall were surprised. This title of general was very important, but they heard King Yan continue to say: "Not only did you capture the enemy's leader today, but also
I hope that in this era of great strife, you will help our country of Yan eliminate the barbarians and help the country. If you have further military exploits in the future, my father will make you General Pingdi."
"My father and I have entrusted you to remember this, and we will make it our ambition to bring peace to Di." Murong Ba said with emotion.
Everyone was happy to have these two generals. Mu Yugen was the only one who kicked Murong Ping's feet and said, "If the Duan family is destroyed, how will this family deal with themselves?"
"The king has his own arrangements." Murong Ping only said.
But a sergeant came and reported to the King of Yan: "All the clansmen in this section have been gathered together, and the remaining palace soldiers have all been dismissed. There is only one palace in the inner court, and there is a little girl who has not yet reached the age of hairpin.
Stand outside the palace gate with a sword in hand. No generals can get close."
"It's ridiculous. How can I, a soldier of the Yan Kingdom, be blocked from the palace by a woman? Give me the king's order and go straight to the palace gate. Anyone who violates it will be killed." King Yan waved his hands and said, "Humph, the country has been destroyed, but the momentum has not diminished.
.”
"Wait!" Murong Ba temporarily signaled the soldiers not to retreat.
"Father, in the past dynasties, when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, there must be loyal people who rose up to defend the country. These people are all loyal and good. Although this tribe is a small country, it has been established for decades. Among the country's
There are many virtuous people." Murong Ba said slowly, "If we, the Yan Kingdom, want to conquer the world, we must win the hearts of the people in the world. Even this little girl has such integrity. Why don't you let your father and ministers see what's going on?"
"Ba'er's statement makes sense. In that case, you have full authority to decide this matter. Just go ahead..."
