Murong Tuguhun is the concubine of the former leader of Xianbei in Liaodong, and the half-brother of the current leader Yiluo Gui (Murong Diao). ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ lā when Shi returned at the beginning, he gave this concubine 1,700 accounts, and when Shegui died, Murong Diao succeeded to the throne, and the two brothers gradually became dissatisfied.

Once, when the two horses were fighting, Murong Diao took the opportunity to turn his face and reprimanded his brother and said: "The first prince divides your tribe to separate it from the main department, why don't you refuse to stay away, but want to squeeze in one place, resulting in a horse fight?!" Tuyuhun replied, "Horses are animals, and it is their nature to fight each other, so why should they blame their masters?" "Knowing that brothers are incompatible, simply—" If you want me to go away, I should go thousands of miles away from you, and not get along. ”

So Tuyuhun took his own subordinates, left Liaodong, borrowed from the Duan clan, and traveled all the way west. After about half a year, he came to Tuoba Xianbei's ranch and was warmly entertained by Tuoba Yilu. Yilu begged Tuyuhun to stay, but Tuyuhun said: "I once swore to heaven that I would leave my brother thousands of miles away, but now that the journey is not more than halfway, how can I break my word?" "Stick to the west.

The department passed through the Hetao land with abundant water and grass, but still refused to stay and continued to the west. At that time, the miscellaneous places in Hanshang County, Shuofang and other places, the Void Quan Canal had not yet been able to be unified, and Tiefu Wulugu (Liu Hu) had not crossed west, so not only did no one dare to stop this Murong Xianbei, but many small tribes asked for attachment and followed Tuyuhun to continue westward.

They walked all the way to the territory of Liangzhou, and Tugu Hun said: "I heard that the territory of Jin is ten thousand miles from east to west, Pingzhou is its east border, and Liangzhou is its west border. So he started looking for a place where he could graze.

In the end, they marched west from the south of Liangzhou to the northwest of Qinzhou, and came to the junction of Nan'an, Jincheng, and Longxi counties, and stopped. After a long migration, not only did the department not shrink, but merged with the miscellaneous Hu along the way, such as Di and Qiang, and swelled to five or six thousand tents, and from then on, nomadic herds in the area east of Taoshui, and gradually advanced to the west of Taoshui.

After nearly 20 years of development, the department has become stronger and stronger, but Tuyuhun himself still has hidden worries. At one point, he summoned all nineteen sons, as well as his uncle Muliyan, who was actually younger than Tuyuhun, and told them to break off a feathered arrow and throw it on the ground. Then he gave him a bundle of nineteen arrows, and ordered him to break them, but he could not succeed at all, so he said, "I know what you want, so that I must not bully my nephews and grandchildren." ”

Tuyuhun said no-"I only want to say to you, a single part, easy to overturn, everyone is united, it is difficult to break." I am already dying, my hair is white, I don't know when I will be called by heaven, once I die, I hope that you and other uncles and nineteen nephews can work together, and there will be no discord, so that the tribe can be stable forever. Then he ordered his eldest son, Murong Tuyan: "You should respect your uncle as you worship me, and you should also love your brothers, as if you were your own siblings, only in this way can I rest assured that I will inherit the throne to you." ”

Tuyan bowed and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, I will respect my uncle, love my brothers, take care of the people inside, and break the miscellaneous beards outside, so that my department will become stronger and stronger, and I will not be weaker than Yiluo Guiye." ”

Tuyuhun glared: "Although he is not on good terms with me, he has driven me here, after all, he is Uncle Ru, how can he be called his small characters?" Liaodong used to have tens of thousands of accounts, and recently I heard that he and Tuoba attacked Liaoxi and seized a lot of grassland of the Duan clan. ”

After a pause, he said, "When I first moved west, you were still young and in my arms. After leaving Liaodong, I traveled once a day, eighty miles a meal, and after a few meals, Uncle Ru finally regretted and made Changshi Yi Nalou chase me. I replied, 'The diviner once said that both the father and the son will have blessings to pass on to future generations. However, I am a concubine, how can I prosper at the same time as my concubine? Now because of the horse fight and parting, this must go to heaven also. But try to drive the horse eastward, and if the horse returns, I will return it too. But when the horses had not yet gone three hundred paces east, they roared and turned westward, and I refused to return. And he said, 'My brothers and sons should be prosperous.'" Yiluo Gem can be passed on to great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, and I may be about to be great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, and then I will rise. ’

"You don't have to be anxious, as long as you protect the department, you can continue to pass it on to your descendants. And today's situation, surrounded by strong enemies, if you rely on your bravery, it is easy to overturn and scatter the people, you must not worry. ”

Mu Liyan asked, "Where is the strong enemy?" Could it be that you are worried about Peng Shiqiang in Caohan? ”

Tuyuhun shook his head: "Uncle's gaze is inevitably too close. The powerful country in the world, only Jin, Hu and I Xianbei, fortunately, the three families are not in harmony internally and compete externally, so that we have the opportunity to settle down. However, if we are bent on swallowing up Di and Qiang, but we offend Jin and Hu, the calamities will inevitably continue. ”

Stretched out his hand and pointed to the south: "Jin Zhi Longxi, Nan'an Ershou, three hundred miles away, another two hundred miles, there is Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, ......" and then pointed to the north: "Jincheng County is less than a hundred miles away from me, and further north is the powerful Liangzhou Zhang clan - if these families attack alone, we still have room for maneuver, but they both belong to Jin, once united, we will definitely be defeated!" ”

Immediately, Tuyuhun pointed to the east again: "When I wait for the road to come, there is a power canal for the void, and I recently heard that he surrendered to Liu Yao, the king of Hu." In addition, Tiefu Wulugu, who has long been attached to Hu, if the army comes west, how can we resist? Therefore, we should not only see the Di and Qiang in front of us, but also see the Jin and Hu hundreds and thousands of miles away! ”

Tuyan asked: "I know what your lord means, Jin and Hu are both great powers in the world, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to fight against them in the third and fifth generations, and we must have something to rely on." So is it better to attach Jin or Hu to yes? ”

Mu Liyan said: "Naturally, it is attached to the Jin, and since the time of Lord Murong Xian (Shigui), he has paid tribute to the Son of Heaven of the Jin Kingdom." ”

Tuyuhun looked at Tuyan and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Tuyan hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My son thinks that the Jin is already the boss, and it is not as good as Hu Shifangxing, I heard that the Jin army has been repeatedly defeated, and most of the land in the east is owned by the Hu army, and even the Son of Heaven has been captured by the Hu people - I might as well attach Hu, so that I can avoid the worries of the east and attack Peng's Qiang in the west." ”

Tuyuhun asked the other sons, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone talked about it, some people said that it was better to attach Jin, and some people said that it was better to attach Hu, but there was no consensus.

Tuyuhun waved his hand, ordered his sons to be quiet, and then said to Tuyan: "I think you resent your uncle, so you must attach Hu to Yiluozhuo." Tuyan smiled awkwardly, but did not defend himself.

Tuyuhun taught his sons: "Although the camel is sick, it is also bigger than the horse; The oxen starved to death, and they were bigger than the sheep. Although Jin is a little weak, it is not something we dare to easily turn against the goal - Jincheng, Nan'an, Longxi, and even Sima Bao, I am not afraid; However, there is Liangzhou Zhang's family in the north, and he had previously sent troops to the east to aid the Son of Heaven, passing through my department, I slaughtered cattle and sheep for hospitality, and you waited to see what about the 'Liangzhou horse'? ”

When the princes thought about it, they were all terrified, but Tuyan said: "There are only two thousand horsemen on the left and right, and I may not be invincible to ......."

Tuyuhun glared and said, "Do you think that the Zhang clan only has these two thousand horsemen?" We waited but saw it go to the east, but did not see it return to the west, and it is said that he is still guarding the Son of Heaven in Chang'an. If you have only two or three thousand horsemen, will you keep half of them out for a long time, and not return to your homeland? There are still horses in Liangzhou, which may not be five times less than this! ”

Hearing him say this, Tuyan was also a little scared. Mu Liyan turned his head and spoke for Tuyan: "I am waiting for the Jin people to be in the land of the Jin people today, and I should be attached to the Jin, but what Tuyan said also has its truth. You have repeatedly sent envoys to Jincheng and other counties, and even to the king of Nanyang, to ask for official positions, but the Jin people ignored them, only asking for tribute, or asking us to send troops to help. If you don't eat grass with the sheep, but want them to produce milk; Isn't it too much to want to gallop instead of Ma Liudou? ”

Tuyuhun sighed and said, "I can't think about it for the time being, so I have to continue to send envoys to ask for help." Even if the Jin people don't do anything with me anymore, in order to increase their authority and gain a foothold in the Jin territory, unless the Hu people enter Qinzhou or even Liangzhou, we can't easily betray the Jin. The Jin people may be difficult to defeat Hu, if they want to trample on us, but they are not embarrassed - the headquarters is less than 2,000 accounts, and the rest are all miscellaneous Hu who came to the west to subdue along the way, and if they meet a strong army, they will inevitably disperse...... And I recently heard that the Jin army defeated Liu Yao, the king of Hu, and Liu Cang, the prince of Hu, on the river, which shows that the two countries are fighting each other, and it is not three or five years to really distinguish the victory and defeat......"

As he was talking, someone suddenly came to report that an envoy from Jin had come to the ministry, please see your lordship. Tuyan frowned and said: "The autumn grass is getting taller, the cattle and sheep will be fat, and the Jin people will definitely come to ask for tribute - as I expected the day before yesterday." Tu wanted to glance at him: "What can you do in the land of the Jin people?" Do you think that if you attach Hu, the Hu people will not ask for tribute? He raised his hand and greeted Mu Liyan: "Uncle can come with me to greet him." ”

They didn't go far when they saw dozens of cavalry guards escorting an official. Seeing it from afar, I couldn't help but feel a chill, and my heart said that the one who came back here seems to be a high-ranking official!

He naturally didn't understand what kind of clothes and ribbons he had, but he knew that Jin Wen wore a Liang crown and was armed with leather bands. The one in front of him is clearly a civil official, crowned with two beams - according to the regulations, the five beams of the Son of Heaven, the three beams of the prince, the two beams above the thousand stones of the Qing doctor, and the single beam under it - the people who used to come from various counties to deal with each other were mostly small officials who only wore scarves, and at most they wore a single beam crown, which shows that this person's identity is very unusual.

Hurried forward. The Jin official on the opposite side got off the horse and bowed his hand and said, "The foot must be Mr. Murong Tuguhun." If in the Xianbei Department, it is customary to call the leader "Lord", but in China, it is an honorific title for the direct elder (mainly father, ancestor, and occasionally called uncle and uncle), and it must not be called so, so he has to "step" and "sir".

Tuyuhun knew Chinese, so he hurriedly returned the salute and asked: "The arrival of the unknown noble official is far away, and I will forgive you." I don't know who your official is...... How to call it? ”

"Captain Xirong is wandering, and the words are far away."
