Chapter 11: Murong Ba meets Duan Xian for the first time
"Thank you, father."
Murong Ba just stood up and thanked him. After that, he and the sergeant went straight to the inner court. The inner court of this section of the palace was not big, and it was a quiet and quiet place in the huge Lingzhi King's city.
"This little girl even wields a knife and a gun."
"Although I have a small body and a strong temper, I don't know that I still have such a temper after today, hehehe."
Before he even got there, insults were heard frequently, and Murong Ba couldn't help but quicken his pace.
I saw a group of soldiers surrounding the palace gate, but inside there was a woman waving a sword, intending to duel with the sergeants. After all, she was weak, and those veterans were quite frivolous. The woman waved the sword.
Unable to support it.
At this moment, a sergeant rushed forward and drew his sword to chop him off. Only Murong Ba's voice came from behind: "Don't be rude."
One of the leaders was used to being arrogant. When he turned around and saw Murong Ba, he saw that he was a child. He didn't realize that he was the son of the Murong family. He just sneered and said, "Who am I to spoil my good deeds?" He ignored Murong Ba.
He is so tyrannical that he actually wants to commit murder.
But they saw that Murong Ba was still young, but he was proficient in bow and horse, and he often studied swords, guns, swords and halberds with his uncle Lan Jian. Murong Ba had only one chance of luck, and the scabbard only hit the sergeant's long sword, beating him.
The sergeant was so embarrassed that he wanted to go down and pick up his own weapon. Just as he was about to pick it up, Murong Ba made another move, and the handle of the sword only hit his shoulder. The man shuddered and the weapon dropped again. He waited until he wanted to pick it up again.
When he picked it up, Murong Ba already had the saber in his hand, and it was only held on his neck. In the midst of the lightning and flint, Murong Ba had such skill, which only frightened the remaining soldiers, and they were about to draw their swords to protect their leader.
But he saw the sergeant accompanying Murong Ba shouting: "You bastard, why don't you salute the lieutenant general quickly?"
"It turns out he's a general." The leader just rubbed his shoulders, "Boss... How can there be such a young general?" The man who was knocked off his saber was quite unconvinced.
"This is the fifth prince, Murong Ba." The people accompanying him shouted to the man sternly, "please apologize to the fifth prince quickly and thank you for not killing me. If you don't hurry up, get out and save your dog's life."
Hearing that he was the son of the Murong family, the soldiers hurriedly dispersed.
The leader was about to escape, but was kicked to the ground by Murong Ba. Murong Ba shouted: "I heard what you just said. How can I, the officers of the Yan Army, have such things as you?"
The man only begged for mercy in the end, "Master, please spare my life. I was confused for a moment, so I hope you can spare your life."
Murong Ba shouted: "It doesn't matter if I spare my life, you should beg that young lady to spare her life."
The man hurriedly kowtowed to the girl and apologized, causing the floor to bang.
Seeing that the woman was unresponsive, the accompanying general was also afraid of her embarrassment, so he just shouted to her to get out.
Although the woman was young, she was from the royal family of the Duan tribe. Although she did not speak, she had a sense of arrogance. She was seen standing at the entrance of the palace with a long sword in her hand, which made her even more heroic. Murong Ba walked straight forward, and the soldier shouted
: "General, be careful."
"It doesn't matter." Murong Ba replied.
Strangely enough, when the woman saw Murong Ba coming up, she didn't wave her sword or retreat, she just stood there blankly.
Murong Ba stepped forward, held her hand, and slowly released the sword in her hand.
"Bang." The long sword fell to the ground.
But he saw the woman turning back. Although her long hair was spread out, slightly covering her face, her beauty was not lost. After all, she was a royal woman. She was different from ordinary women. Her calmness made people respect her. At this time, she was pure and clean, and she must have died for her country.
The meaning is even more chaste and fierce.
But he saw that the sergeant wanted to step forward and capture the woman.
Murong Ba raised his hand to signal her not to come, and asked the woman solemnly: "This spear and sword dance is originally a man's business, why should a weak woman like you have to suffer the pain of this sword?"
"Now that the Duan family has been destroyed, my father, brother, aunt, and sister-in-law have all been defeated. I want to die as a martyr in order to fulfill his ambition." Duan first clenched his fists, then sighed again, "But my two nieces are still young, and their father Duan Yi
They are both dead and helpless, so they enter the palace as a last resort."
It seemed that I heard noises from outside. Behind Duan Xian, a baby girl in the arms of an old woman cried, and another slightly older girl just stood there numbly.
It turns out that all the palace maids' family members were here. Duan Bu was defeated and had no time to take them away, so they had to stay here.
Murong Ba only asked softly: "What's your name?"
"Xian Duan," the woman replied.
"She is the daughter of Duan Mobo. I, King Yan, Queen Duan are the brothers and sisters of your late king. In this case, the Duan tribe has been destroyed, why not enter the palace of King Yan." After saying this, Murong Ba was about to signal to the three sisters.
come out.
"Don't lie to me." The situation had slowed down just now, but Duan Xian only changed his expression in an instant, turned around and picked up the sword again, swinging it towards Murong Ba, "Now that my country has perished and I am a lowly prisoner, how can you let me, an enemy of the royal family, go?"
, instead of committing yourself to the enemy country and asking for humiliation, why not ask for happiness." After saying this, he was about to stab Murong Ba. After all, Murong Ba was a man, and he had experienced actual combat, so he was a little more alert. What's more, although Duan Xian's momentum was weak,
The sword could hit him, but it only missed him. Duan Xian was so ashamed that he turned around and raised his sword to kill himself, but saw Murong Ba knocking him down with another swing of his sword.
"Girl, you don't know yourself, and you don't want to think about your two nieces." Murong Ba was angry and angry, "We, the Yan State, accept humbly, and treat virtuous corporals with courtesy. Not to mention you are a woman, you belong to a wealthy family, if you sincerely join us,
We, the Yan State, will forget all the blame and grant official positions according to merit." Seeing that Duan Xian was still suspicious, Murong Ba said with a smile, "Isn't your aunt doing well in the Yan State? Isn't it a man's behavior to bully women?" After saying this, the woman
No more arguing.
Murong Ba then ordered the sergeant: "Have a good time serving Miss Duan. If there is any mistake, I will take it from you."
"Princess, you were frightened just now. I will tell King Yan that on the day you return to the army, you and the army will enter my palace. Your two nieces must also be taken good care of, right?"
Murong Ba remained silent for a while, bowed deeply, cupped his hands, and turned to say goodbye.
Murong Ba took a few steps forward, but turned around and saw that Duan Xian was still there. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of late spring was shining on the woman. She was alone and in harmony, and the bright moon's eyes were even more poignant.
Entering the military tent in the evening, Murong Ba tossed and turned, and Gao Bi was extremely annoyed, "I said, what's wrong with you today? Isn't it enough to fight during the day? You also torment me at night."
"Okay, okay, you go to bed and I'll go for a walk outside the camp." Murong Ba said with a smile.
In the end, the rest of the Duan family escaped. Duan Ni, Duan Qin, and Duan Si were defeated from Miyun Mountain. These three people followed the Zhao army into Yecheng, and faced Zhao Emperor Shi Hu.
If it is not eliminated early, it will be a serious disaster for Zhao State.
In the palace of Yecheng, the ministers of the State of Zhao were discussing. The first speaker was Shi Min, the most powerful general of the State of Zhao, saying, "Your Majesty, the Yan State's growing power cannot be underestimated."
"It turns out to be Ji Nu, then tell me what should be done." Although Shi Min is an adopted grandson, he is famous for his bravery in various countries. A few years ago, Zhao State attacked Yan State and was defeated in Ji City. Zhao Jun fled and lost his generals.
Countless, the single stone Minbu was preserved.
"The Yan State should not be underestimated. Now it has annexed Duanbu and occupied the entire western Liaoning. The land north of Youzhou belongs to the Yan State." Shi Min walked to the center of the court hall and said, "The first State of Yan was a small country, and I, the State of Zhao, were Shang.
If we cannot defeat it, if the Yan State takes Goguryeo again, Yuwen Xianbei and tigers will become a problem, it will eventually be a great harm to our Zhao State."
Prince Shi Xuan didn't take it seriously and said mockingly: "Shi Min is too worried. The one who suffers the most from our Zhao State today is the Jin Dynasty. Yan State is a small country in the corner. What worries do you have? If you lose a big one because of a small thing, it will only waste your troops."
If you lose our Zhao Kingdom's plan to annex the world, what crime should you do?"
"The prince's words are true. His grandson Shi Min is expected to be brave. He is often a vanguard and conquers the Jin Dynasty in the south. He has made great achievements, so he should be careful." Shi Hu has always valued his adopted son.
The champion general Pu Hong said: "Your Majesty, what Shi Min said is very reasonable. We should eradicate the Yan Kingdom as soon as possible to prevent the slightest change."
Sikong Li Nong, who was in charge of Youping's military affairs, also stepped forward and said: "Now the Yan State has leveled Duanbu. If Goguryeo and Yuwen are destroyed in the future, they will have no worries, and they will only seek to plot against our Zhao State in the south."
Taiwei Zhang Ju also reported: "The kings and ministers of the Yan State are united, and the Jin Dynasty has also been enthroned. The families in Youping are competing to defect. If time passes, it will be a big trouble."
All the ministers shouted: "I hope your Majesty will get rid of the Yan Kingdom soon."
"In that case, someone has come to give me an order." King Zhao sent his chamberlain to read out: "Order: Si, Ji, Qing, Xu, You, and the people of Yong Qizhou will take three from the fifth ding, two from the fourth ding, and unite Ye.
The old soldiers in the city prepared 10,000 warships and dug canals to connect to the sea. They transported 11 million dendrobium grains to Le'an City. They moved to western Liaoning, Beiping, and Yuyang, and more than 10,000 households moved to Yan, Henan, Yong, Luo, and Sichuan.
From the east of the state to Bailang, a large-scale farming operation was carried out. The people's horses were confiscated, and those who dared to hide privately were cut in half."
"I want to conduct a grand military parade in Wanyang after the autumn to attack the State of Yan."
"Do as you are called."
This peaceful land, from Yunzhong, Daijun, Tangguo, Lingzhi, Yuyang, Jicheng, Youbeiping, stretching thousands of miles from east to west, north to south, is gradually covered with war clouds.
After lingering for several days, the Yan army returned to the country. The army was about to enter Jicheng, only to see the crown prince Murong Jun leading the remaining ministers ten miles out of the city to welcome the Yan army's triumphant return. The canopy of rituals and music was complete.
"My father is outstanding in martial arts. Now that Duanbu has been leveled, our Yan Kingdom has no worries in the south." The prince first congratulated the King of Yan.
"What the prince said is true. I own all the land in western Liaoning today. If Goguryeo and the Yuwen tribe are destroyed again, the Central Plains can be conquered." Murong Huang was very pleased with himself.
"I heard that Brother Ba has made another great achievement and is now able to control an army. I am very happy and congratulated." Murong Jun said to Murong Ba who was riding on the horse.
But Murong Ba flew off his horse and said to the prince: "Brother Jun has made great achievements in supervising the country. We, the ministers, should be driven by the Yan Kingdom."
"Brother Ba, what you said is too much. Building meritorious services and guarding the city and supervising the country are not the same thing."
"Brother Jun, you are joking."
At this time, the Prime Minister Feng Yi hurried over and reported to King Yan: "The king has been away for a long time, and Goguryeo has become restless again." After saying this, he reached out and took out the military report, "This is Murong Ke guarding Pingguo.
The city's military report, your Majesty, please read it." Feng Yi handed over the military report. King Yan read it anxiously, but saw that he was furious, "My dear Wang Zhao, I want to wipe you out in one fell swoop." Then he said to everyone, "
Return to the palace quickly."
The King of Yan led his people to ride their horses and whip their whips, leaving only the civil and military ministers on both sides of the road to welcome him.
