Jiankang, Wuyi Lane, mysterious courtyard, basement.

The dim candle flame flickered and flickered, shining in this huge hall, and the breeze from the gap in the secret door slowly blew around the round table, the beard of the four mysterious guests wearing masks and cloaks, everyone's eyes were blazing, thoughtful, all eyes were focused on the middle of the round table, a map of the accumulation of sand and soil, there were mountains, rivers and rivers on it, hundreds of states and counties in the world, all in sight, with various flags planted on it, and in each city, there were clay figures of different sizes, To show the number of troops, it can be clearly seen that Chang'an in Guanzhong, near Yecheng in Hebei, concentrated the largest number of clay people and military flags, densely packed and mixed together.

Suzaku, who was sitting in the south, coughed lightly: "The progress of this war is really a bit unexpected, I didn't expect that Fu Pi in Yecheng was so able to stand up, and it actually lasted for more than half a year, and Murong Chui's more than 200,000 troops were not captured, are we overestimating this Yan Kingdom God of War?" ”

The white tiger in the west shook his head, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "That's because the Murong family and those Ding Ling people, the Huns have their own thoughts and preserve their strength, so that in the end they are divided among themselves, and now Murong is on fire and Zhai Bin, only Zhai Zhen escaped with a few people, and the army led by Shao Xing who wanted to restore the country in the prefectures and counties of Hebei was also defeated by Murong Chui's son Murong Nong, Shao Xing was captured and beheaded, as for the redundant servant who shot Guangzuo, seeing Shao Xing's defeat, he was so frightened that he fled back to Yecheng, and Fu Pi's four-way army would attack the plan, but it had not had time to launch, and destroyed two places first. ”

The green dragon in the east sighed: "Murong Trai is Murong Trai after all." All this has long been in his grasp, Fu Pi can last so long, it is completely counting on foreign aid, and now the three foreign aid has been cut off by two, and only Liu Kuren, who is plugged out of the road, is afraid that it will be difficult to scream alone. Although the nomadic cavalry of the grassland is fierce, it is far from being the opponent of the Murong family's iron cavalry, even if Liu Kuren is in person, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing! ”

Xuanwu (Xie An) unhurriedly took out a Tang newspaper from his arms, slowly unfolded, he stood up, walked to the north of the map, you can clearly see that in the south of Yinshan, north of the Great Wall, in the area of Monan, at least more than 50 mud horses have been assembled, which is about the size of 100,000 cavalry, and a big banner with the word "Liu" is among these mud horses, which is very conspicuous.

Xie An shook his head, suddenly pulled up the big banner with the word "Liu", and easily swept the more than fifty mud horses with a flick of his sleeves, and they were staggered, and none of them could stand anymore.

The faces of the three of them all changed greatly, they stood up, and Qinglong said, "Xuanwu, what does this mean?" Could it be Liu Kuren's 100,000 iron horsemen? ”

Xie An nodded calmly and said: "The Tang report I just received, Liu Kuren originally sent his wife and brother Gongsun Xi to lead his tribe cavalry with 3,000, and acted together with Wang Meng's son, Wang Yong, the assassin of Youzhou, to defeat Murong Chui's subordinate general Pinggui, behead tens of thousands of Yan troops, and kill all 5,000 captives. ”

Suzaku sat down, looked at Xuanwu, and said in a deep voice: "These are the military reports from half a month ago, I also heard yesterday that Gongsun Xiqi was victorious, Liu Kuren was overjoyed, and personally went to the area of the Great Wall, and recruited the annexed tribes of Yuyang, Shanggu, and Daijun, and prepared to take Gongsun Xi's department as the guide, and drove straight into the Central Plains to fight a decisive battle with Murong Chui. Isn't the 100,000 iron horsemen in the south of the desert just now just to illustrate this? How can you say that if you don't, it's gone? ”

Xuanwu sighed: "Liu Kuren is not a Tuoba clan after all, he thought that he could rely on victory to awaken the fighting enthusiasm of the various tribes of Monan, and go to the Central Plains with him to plunder, but he forgot one thing, the various departments of the grassland are not monolithic, and even, there are many remnants of Murong Yanguo in it, and this time it was the son of Mu Yuju, an important minister of the former Yan State, and the southern lord of Monan, Mu Yuwen, who wanted his life this time. ”

Qinglongqi said: "I don't know this Mu Yuwen, but his father Mu Yuju was the founding minister of the Yan State back then, he was highly respected, and he lived to be more than eighty years old, he can be said to be the elder of the four dynasties of the Yan Kingdom, how could this person's son be in the grassland?" ”

Xuanwu nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because of Mu Yu's high position and power that his son was unwilling to move to Guanzhong like others after the fall of the Yan Kingdom, so he ran away halfway, this Mu Yuwen ran to the Monan grassland, because Fu Jian attaches great importance to the Murong clan, but he doesn't pay so much attention to ordinary courtiers like the Muyu clan, so he turns a blind eye." In the past, Fu Luo rebelled according to Youzhou, and this Mu Yuwen made meritorious contributions in quelling the rebellion, so he gave Fu Jian the title of the southern lord of Mo Nan, and mastered the attached tribes of the three counties. ”

Baihu said disdainfully: "In this case, why is this Liu Kuren still defenseless against Mu Yuwen and plotting against him?" If you want to fight against the Yan Kingdom of the Murong family, can you still use Mu Yuwen? ”

Xuanwu smiled slightly: "This Mu Yu clan, back then, together with Taiwei Murong Ping, the Queen Mother could kill his wife Da Duan, causing him to flee to Qin, which can be described as a deep hatred, and Mu Yuwen also took the initiative to ask for war, saying that he wanted to get rid of Murong Trai for the family, if Murong Trai won the world, his Mu Yu clan would die without a place to be buried." ”

Bai Hu smiled: "I see, it sounds very reasonable, but why did he turn around in the end?" ”

Xuanwu said calmly: "I'm afraid there are a lot of hidden secrets behind this, but according to the old man's speculation, the general of the Yan Army who commanded the front line, Murong Lin, the youngest son of Murong Chui, is afraid that he is the key person." At that time, this son also followed the Mu Yu clan, and even snitched to kill the Daduan clan, after Murong Chui returned to the country, he killed his mother first, but because this son had a crooked belly and poisonous schemes, he left a life, this time Murong Lin led the troops to hold Liu Kuren's department, and the chances of winning head-on were insufficient, but he made this kind of counter-introvert very good, he may be able to use his own experience to persuade Mu Yuwen that the betrayal and framing of their clan back then are not to blame, and even, let him succeed Liu Kuren and be the lord of Mo Nan! ”

Suzaku sighed: "High, really high." After all, Liu Kuren is still a chess player, and in order to pursue the speed of dispatching troops, he entered the wolf's den, so naturally there is no possibility of survival. ”

Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "I want Liu Kuren to die, I'm afraid it's not just Mu Yuwen, Tang Bao also said that as soon as Liu Kuren died, his younger brother Liu Toujun immediately took over the ministries, not only did he not avenge his brother and crusade against the rebels of the three counties, but instead announced that he would stop entering the customs and rectify the interior, it seems that he and Mu Yuwen also have some private tacit understanding, we all underestimated Murong Chui's influence on the grassland, because he has the most important card in his hand, that is, Tuoba Jue!" ”
