Chapter 122: Murong died of illness on a snowy night, and forced Sakun to move the capital
On the hillside, there were also Prince Yang Yong and Yu Wenkai and others who did not leave. Looking at the 30,000 elite Tuyuhun mercenary cavalry that were brought back by the generals under King Jin, Yang Yong's teeth clenched tightly, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire. Yu Wenkai just couldn't stop smiling bitterly when he watched it on the side, and said in his heart, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really a bad stomach, and he can even think of strengthening his strength in the form of mercenaries, and it doesn't seem to cost a penny. And this is not the end, King Jin seems to have more tricks to unfold step by step. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is called the Prison Army, but in fact, he has already been set up as a spectator of this good show. And he was full of strategy, and he couldn't even exert any strength.
"Lord Chen Tian, I will distribute 200,000 stones of the newly arrived grain in our army yesterday and send it to the army of Ilike. Hualong, you go and talk to Uncle Eric Wang, let him and 2,000 military horses accompany here, and the rest of the military horses escort the food back to their country. It is said that after the three counties of Hexi are successfully taken over, they can be released to return to China. ”
The two said yes and went on an errand.
"Mr. Yuwen please take the document signed by Murong Shan Yu and this king to take over the three counties into the city, and let Yu Dashuai send troops to take over the three counties immediately, and there are no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed in each place, the life of the three counties is not easy, and there are too many people to support them." Yang Er said to Yu Wenhua with a smile. Yu Wenhua also laughed after hearing it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with the calculation of this official, should immediately go to Your Majesty, and the King of Jin has not been ordered by the emperor to privately decide the crime of trespassing in state affairs, this crime is not small." Yu Wenkai heard that King Jin was getting bigger and bigger, and immediately seized a hint of an opportunity to turn over, so he admonished Yang Yong. Only by preconceived ideas and denying the merits of King Jin as much as possible can we suppress the momentum that King Jin is about to raise in the court.
After Yang Yong listened, he thought for a while, then nodded, turned around and walked down the dirt slope. Yang Er saw Yang Yong lead people away, and he didn't care about him.
Fu Yu City.
"Your Majesty, the national teacher Bogra was captured by the city gate guards, and asked how to deal with it." As soon as Sakun Shan returned to the harem, he was informed by his attendants.
"Oh? This national teacher is Murong's confidant and loyal, and he is not used by me, leaving his life for fear of disaster, and ordering the city gate guards to behead him outside the city gate. Sakun whispered to his attendant that he should go to the city gate to be beheaded.
Poor national teacher Bogra was full of talent and learning, and he died in a political battle before he could show himself.
In the study, He Chong was already waiting here, and when he saw Sakun coming, he hurriedly got up to salute. Because the relationship between the two is very close, Sakun does not treat him as an outsider, but just waves his hand to show that he does not need to be polite.
"Does Mr. Asami have good news for this king?" Sa Kun asked He Chong to sit down and speak, and he also sat on the empty seat on the side.
"King, there was news early this morning that Murong and Uncle Wang, who escaped from the city, were captured by Yuwen Chengdu, the general under the throne of my Jin, in Gangcha City, and none of the more than 1,000 people who accompanied them escaped. Is this good news? He Chong said with a smile.
"Why don't you behead these two people immediately to prevent future troubles?" Sakun suddenly felt happy in his heart, and then asked puzzledly, because the former king Murong had a threat to him for a day as long as he lived, and his throne alone was unstable.
"Huh! Don't worry, my lord has already made arrangements. But please rest assured, Murong will not survive this time, and there will be news in a few days. He Chong saw that Sakun was a little anxious, so he comforted him.
After hearing this, Sakun had to nod helplessly, but his worries were not alleviated in the slightest, and it was inconvenient to ask again.
"The king, in order to appease the army of the king of Kadir County, it is advisable to prepare the things of the labor army, and send capable men to work in front of the king's army, so as to release the king's goodwill and gather people's hearts. And you can give Kadir a separate reward to receive his heart. He Chong further admonished Sakun, after all, this King of Kadir County is different from his father who is good at political calculations, this person is more focused on military affairs, and can be wooed after showing goodwill.
"What the gentleman said is very true, this king will arrange it." Sakun saw that what He Chong said was very reasonable, so he immediately went to arrange it. Seeing this, He Chong also hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Two days later, hundreds of cartloads of silver, wine, and silk were delivered to the army of the King of Kodir. This caused bursts of cheers from the whole army. Kadir and his generals also had rewards, and the main general Kodir County King was even crowned as the general of the Tuyuhun Town State Guard, and was the first person in the army to command the whole country, and all the generals came to congratulate. That night, the whole army held a banquet, all the troops called the new king enlightened and benevolent, and the generals led by the king of Kadir expressed their willingness to be loyal to the king of Xindan Yu on the spot, which made the confidants of Sakun who came to comfort the army ecstatic.
Just inside the city.
With the smooth handover of the three counties in Hedong, Yang Er kept his promise to put Murong Shan Yu and Yi Like back. By this time, the 2,000 of them had been walking on the snow road back for four days. After arriving at Gangcha City, it has been two days since he had to stop here for repairs, not because Erik didn't want to go, but because Murong Shan in the car was in extremely bad physical condition and could no longer continue to march on the road. In addition, there was no accompanying doctor to take care of him, and Murong Danyu's cough was even worse than before, and he coughed up blood in his sputum several times.
Uncle Wang's condition is slightly better, but he is getting older, and the changes and pressures he has endured during this period of time have turned his hair and eyebrows all white, and he has also languished a lot. Now seeing that Murong Shan Yu's illness is too serious and cannot be alleviated, even if he is well-informed, he has no way to do it for a while.
Outside, the wind and snow are even worse, and the temperature is extremely low. There was a lack of bedding in the house, so I had to light firewood to expel the cold. It's just that the rising smoke caused Murong Shan Yu to cough even more wildly, and he couldn't sleep at night.
On this day, the wind and snow outside stopped. Murong Shan felt that his body was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly asked people to call Uncle Yilik.
At this time, Iric was distributing the limited food in his hand to 2,000 guards, and the way back to Tooth City was still long, and the existing food was no longer enough for the whole army to return. Hearing Murong Shan Yu's summons, the old and refined Erik was shocked in his heart, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Your Majesty, how are you doing? Is there an order to summon the old minister? Iric didn't dare to delay for a moment, hurriedly handed over the matter in his hands to his subordinates, and trotted all the way into Murong Shan Yu's earthen house.
"Uncle Wang, sit down." Murong Shan Yu said with a hard time.
"The king, it's all because the old minister is not good, and the king suffered a cold all the way, so that the king is seriously ill." Uncle Wang Yilik felt quite guilty in his heart, usually, Murong Shan Yu valued and trusted him very much.
"Uncle Wang doesn't have to be like this, life is in the world, and it is normal to be born, old, sick and die. This king has more than 40 and has 3, and his life is enough! cough cough ---- "Before the words were finished, there was another cough, Murong Shan Yu used a silk handkerchief to weir the mouth, and when he looked at it again, there was already a mouthful of blood in the handkerchief.
"Uncle Wang, this king has gone through this catastrophe, running back and forth, tired of running for his life, so that the old diseases in the body have recurred, and he has contracted wind and cold, lack of medical treatment, and his illness is becoming more and more prosperous, and he is afraid that his life will not be long! cough cough cough cough---- Uncle Wang, you are the elder of this king and a close person, if this king decides to do this, Uncle Wang can let my eldest son succeed me to the throne after he goes back, but cough cough cough ----" After finally saying this, there was another wild cough, which made people palpitate. The silk handkerchief used for the weir mouth was already dyed red, and with old tears in his eyes, Iric hurriedly stepped forward and patted Murong Shan Yu's back with his hand to make him feel better.
"The king, the old minister knows the king's intentions, and the old minister will escort the king back to the Yacheng Palace safely, please lie down and rest! When the sky clears and the king is better, I'll wait until I leave. After speaking, Ilick put the pillow on the bed flat, helped Murong Danyu, who was already in a semi-coma, to lie down gently, and after covering the corners of the quilt, he turned around and whispered to the attendant: "Good life care, if something is calling me." ”
After getting out of the earthen house, Iric hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes. His heart was like a mirror, knowing that Murong Shan Yu couldn't stand tonight. To be able to say so many words is already the return of a person before he is about to die.
It was night, and the cry of the attendant was heard in the earthen house. Although Iric in the next room had been prepared, he still "chuckled" in his heart, and then tears welled up.
Murong Shan died in Gangcha City on a snowy night at the age of 43, and the era of the Tuyuhun Kingdom came to an end.
Murong Shan died, and after a short period of pain, Iric ordered the servants to wrap the body in a quilt and put it on the car, but fortunately, the body could still be placed in the cold weather. After reorganizing the people, he immediately set off and went straight to Fuyu City.
A few days later, Iric and his entourage came to the tent of the king of Kodir County, and set up a mourning hall for Murong Shan Yu's body in the big tent of the Chinese army, for the generals of the army to pay respects, pay respects, and worship the whole army. The news was sent into the city of Fuyu quickly. Of course, through his son's narration, Iric already knew and reluctantly accepted the reality that all the heirs of Murong Shan Yu's clan were slaughtered by the Sui army, and also recognized the only Zuoxian King Sakun who currently had the right to inherit the throne, but now he has no mind, as if he has lost his soul, and has lost all the heroic aura of the past. Seeing that his father was hit too badly by this, Kadir also continued to comfort him, telling him not to participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China, but to support his old age at home.
"Mr. Chaojian, that Murong is dead, and now there is a mourning in the Kadir army, and this king is sick and gone! Hehe! ”
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be happy, and there are four things that need to be done by the King himself. one, the publication of an obituary to the nation, amnesty for prison inmates; the second is to bury the former king with royal regulations to calm the hearts of the people; the third is to dismiss the military horses in the hands of Kadir and scatter them everywhere; In the end, the city of Fuluo was seriously damaged, there were many remnants of the royal family, and the old forces were strong, so the capital of Fuluo City should be moved to the royal city. He Chong talked eloquently.
"Sir, the first three items are reasonable and reasonable, but this last one really needs to be discussed." Sa Kun said with some puzzlement, he felt that the reason He Chong said for moving the capital was a bit far-fetched, and it seemed inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, you still don't know that this time Murong Shan Yu returned from being captured, he had signed a peace treaty with my lord between the two countries. It's just that the text of the treaty is now in the hands of Uncle Wang Yilik, and the king has not seen it in person. He Chong said with a smile.
"Oh? Sir, please try to explain the connotation of this treaty, and let the king listen to it. Sakun's heart was shocked, and he became a little unhappy. He is a single king, and he doesn't know the terms of reconciliation between the two countries.
"The king blames my lord, all because the 200,000 Tuyuhun army confronted my lord, and only by agreeing on a treaty with the former king Murong can your army agree. After that, when the king takes control of the army, my lord will recognize only you, the king. One of these clauses is the opening of the trade road to the countries of the Western Regions and the Western Turks in our dynasty, and the barren land of the three counties in the far north of your country is owned by our dynasty, and the three counties in the old days were the Hexi corridor trade route from the Han people of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, which was originally the land of this dynasty. After this war, it was just returned to our country. ”
"Huh?" After hearing this, Sakun frowned and thought silently. Then his brows relaxed, and he said: "Then it doesn't hurt that the three northern counties will be assigned to the Great Sui, where there are all desert Gobi salt flats, and there is no grain production, and there is no one to live all day long, so it will be yours." Sakun said after thinking it through. In the nomadic country of Tuyuhun, where there are no grasslands and rivers, there is and is not.
"It's just that, in this way, Fuyu City is closer to the border, and Fuyu City has suffered from war, and it is no longer suitable as a national capital. Therefore, it is recommended that the king move the capital to the south, and it is better to take Fuluo City as the new royal city of Tuyuhun. He Chong continued. In fact, it was Yang Er's idea to let Sakun move the capital, so that the Hexi Corridor could be reduced by the constraints of Tuyuhun, and he could also reduce the threat from Tuyuhun when he went out to conquer the Western Turks and the Western Regions in the future. At the same time, when he increased the garrison of the three counties, he would not be too sensitive, which aroused Tuyuhun's vigilance. Moving the city of Tuyuhun to the city of Fuluo further south was the best option.
"There is no rush in advance, and we will discuss it after the first three things are completed." Sa Kun was still a little hesitant, but there was no reason to refute it for a while, he wanted to discuss it with his cronies again, after all, the matter of moving the capital was too important, and it was not the kind of thing that could be decided immediately.
He Chong nodded, and stopped pressing. After discussing some of the terms and conditions, He Chong took his leave. Sa Kun had no opinion on the other terms, and especially praised the withdrawal of the Sui army. It was something he wanted to mention but didn't know how to say, and now it had a result that satisfied him.
In the next few days, Sakun lived quite proudly. All progress is expected, and the most difficult uncertainty comes from Uncle Wang, who has a lot of influence in the DPRK and has a lot of surplus in the army. Now that Uncle Wang Eric has expressed his loyalty to Xindan Yu Wang, and there is no moth in his place, this not only makes Sa Kun excited, but also makes Wu Yunzhao, who is stationed in Fuyu City, also breathe a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. It's terrifying to think about the siege of nearly 200,000 troops that is about to be faced, but fortunately nothing like this will happen.
Subsequently, according to He Chong's request, Wu Yun summoned the White Horse Battalion to withdraw from Fuyu City. After the Kadir army is dispersed, it can lead the army back to China along the official road leading to Wuwei City. All the soldiers of the White Horse Battalion were excited, and Wu Bao did not forget to lock up the captured female dependents in the camp one by one, preparing to escort them back to China.
After He Chong reminded him of the relocation of the capital again, Sa Kun finally decided to follow the advice and prepare to move the capital to Fuluo City. Because of a letter written by the King of Jin on Sakun's table, he had to make up his mind to move the capital.
