Chapter 4: Murong Shisu

Back to his main account, Gao Yang is still puzzled, he doesn't think that a heroic figure like Gao Huan will not know the truth that the outside must first be at home, and now the internal contradictions have conflicted with the development of the country, but Gao Huan did not drastically reform the internal affairs and stabilize the internal contradictions, but blindly insisted on eliminating the Western Wei Dynasty.

From the depiction of historical books, Gao Huan from the first year of Tianping (534) to the fourth year of Wuding (546), a total of 5 large-scale battles of Xiaoguan, Shayuan, Heqiao, Yubi and Bishan were fought in the Western Wei Dynasty, but they were all won less and lost more, and finally died of depression after the defeat of Yubi, but he spent his whole life in destroying the Western Wei Dynasty as the core.

Gao Yang thought deeply about it, and suddenly realized that his son was not as good as his father, Gao Huan started with Liufang Xianbei, and the army structure was mainly for the original Liufang Xianbei and Luoyang Xianbei left over from the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was confident that he could suppress this group of arrogant generals with his personality charm, but for his juniors, even if it was Gao Cheng, the son of the world, he might not be able to fully control this group of arrogant soldiers.

Under the leadership of Yuwentai, the Xianbei army that entered the pass at the beginning has gradually been exhausted in many wars, and it is replaced by the Han people of the Guanlong Wuchuan group to supplement, the Xianbei force is weak, and can be balanced with Guan Longhao's right to restrict, compared with the Eastern Wei Xianbei serious, the Hu-Han contradiction is deepening day by day, and the efficiency and flexibility are certainly not as good as the Western Wei.

Therefore, the first minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty must want to drive the Eastern Wei Army to destroy the Guanlong Army of the Western Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop in his lifetime, so that even if the internal contradictions of the Eastern Wei Dynasty deepen, even if he cannot unify the world, it is more than enough to hold the northern territory left by the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he looks down on the army composed of the Han people in the south from the bones.

Alas, Gao Yang sighed softly in his heart, but it is a pity that a character like Gao Huan also underestimated the concerted efforts and patience of the Guanlong Group, and also underestimated the current contradiction between the Xianbei Xungui Group of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Han nobles of the Kwantung Dynasty, and finally in less than 30 years, the Guanlong Group unified the north and dealt a serious blow to the power of the Xianbei Xungui Group and the Han nobles of the Kwantung Dynasty.

In Gao Yang's view, the most important thing for the Eastern Wei Dynasty to do is to stabilize and eliminate internal contradictions, to deal with the Western Wei Dynasty, should be based on the strategy of economic suppression, military siege strategy to respond, set up important towns on the border between the two countries, relying on the strong economic foundation of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, such as manpower, financial and material resources, and gradually consume the supply of grain and materials of the Western Wei Dynasty.

And if the Western Wei Dynasty does not send heavy troops to defend the important towns of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it can be slowly planned, first go down to the east of the river and Jinnan, then attack Guanzhong and Guanxi, and finally march to Longyou, which is the real "attack the shortcomings of the other with their own strengths", and also make the Western Wei helpless and have to deal with it passively.

While Gao Yang was pondering and reverie, Xiao Anzi walked over quickly and said softly: "Lord Lang, General Murong is asking to see you outside, do you see if the slave family has resigned?" ”

After Gao Yang heard Xiao Anzi's words, he retracted his thoughts, and couldn't help but think of the little general Murong Xiao, Murong Shisu, and Murong Shaozong's eldest son that Xiao Anzi said in his mind.

Wait a minute! Murong Shaozong... Thinking of this big guy, Gao Yang's eyes lit up, this is the Eastern Wei Sanjie who was as famous as Duan Rong and Hu Lujin in the Gao Huan era, and the later Northern Qi Sanjie was still their junior.

Murong Shaozong, a famous general of the Northern Wei and Eastern Wei dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after Murong Ke, the former king of Yan Taiyuan, was originally a general of the Erzhu clan in his early years, and later Gao Huan defeated the Erzhu group and returned to Shun, followed Gao Huan to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, it can be said that in the eyes of the Eastern Wei soldiers, Duan Rong, Hu Lujin and Murong Shaozong are all gods of war.

But because Murong Shaozong became pampered and arrogant because of his military exploits, Gao Huan was very dissatisfied, and finally took advantage of the failure to send him to prison, that is to say, the current Murong Shaozong is eating in prison.

Murong Shaozong's talent, as recorded in the history books, even the high-flying and domineering Hou Jing did not take Han Liang and Gao Yue in his eyes at all, and when he heard Shaozong, he buckled the saddle and said: 'Who taught Xianbei Xiao'er to send Shaozong here?' If so, King Gao is not dead? It can be seen that Murong Shaozong's personality charm, even Hou Jing is afraid of such a character, and in the end, Murong Shaozong lived up to expectations, beat Hou Jing to the desert and fled, and returned with a big victory.

Gao Yang remembered that Murong Shaozong died a little pity in history, and he was determined to find a way to prevent his death, in order to have a good relationship with this general in the future, he also needed to deal with his eldest son, it is estimated that if Murong Shaozong is alive, his eldest son Murong Shisu will not be easily fooled into participating in the rebellion, and finally killed because of the rebellion, it seems that it is necessary for me to save this father and son for my use, not to die young like history, it is too wasteful of talents.

After Gao Yang thought of the plan, he said quietly: "Xiao Anzi, hurry up and invite General Murong." ”

"Okay, Master Lang, the slave family has invited General Murong to enter the account."

After a while, a burly young general, about the same age as himself, came over, and saw him come to him, salute and say, "The last general will meet the general." ”

Gao Yang smiled slightly, and said gently: "Shisu is polite, what is the matter today?" ”

Murong Shi didn't dare to mess up the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the army, and replied respectfully: "I heard that the general woke up, and the last general wanted to come to visit." ”

"Oh? Just visiting? Gao Yang stared at Murong Shisu suspiciously, smiled and said.

Murong Shisu smiled embarrassedly, "There is one more thing I want to report to the general." ”

Gao Yang still smiled gently and said, "What's the matter?" Shisu doesn't have to be restrained, just say anything directly. ”

Seeing this, Murong Shisu hurriedly reported: "General, since the last time our legion attacked the city was unfavorable, not only was it not rewarded, but it was also arranged to clean up all kinds of sundries in logistics, and even the lost soldiers and materials were not replenished, especially the dead brothers in the corps, now even the pension is gone, and the brothers can't swallow this breath, and ask the general to be our master." ”

Gao Yang frowned when he heard this, you must know that this legion is a personal guard sent to him, there are nearly 3,000 men and horses, although the siege is unfavorable, it is understandable that there is no merit and no reward, but it should not even be given a pension for the dead soldiers, this is bold enough.

Gao Yang looked at Murong Shisu, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and asked, "What's going on?" Why don't you even pay the pensions of the dead brothers, this chills the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Murong Shi swallowed his saliva and reported 1510: "Since the army was withdrawn, the last general and other generals have not seen the escort officer send someone to inform the replenishment of soldiers, bows, arrows, armor, war horses and other materials, and when they saw that the other legions were all replenished, the last general ran to inquire, but the escort officer not only did not give it, but also scolded the last general. ”

"Oh? Who is the escort officer, who dares to be so arrogant? Gao Yang frowned when he heard this.

Murong Shisu secretly glanced at Gao Yang and said slowly: "Cui Yuan, someone who joined the army under Cui Jishu's sect." ”

Cui Jishu, the confidant of the eldest brother Gao Cheng, is the Cui clan of Boling, the history books evaluate him as "sensitive by nature, dabbling in scripture and history, long in the ruler, with the talent of the world, quite good medical skills", is also a talented person, Gao Yang remembered that he later tired the official Zhishang Shu Zuo Servant Shot, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and was finally killed by the later master for the crime of treason.

Gao Yang continued to ask without moving: "A small escort officer is so unreasonable, it is simply lawless. Tell me all the details. ”
