The year 302 is a very ordinary year, and there are no landmark events.

In that year in China, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings had just entered a full swing, and the princes of the Sima family were tirelessly breaking every brick and stone that supported the Jin Empire, rapidly depleting the country's limited national strength in the scramble for power. No one paid much attention to Xianbei.

However, the Xianbei people themselves are not idle, as the descendants of wolves, kindness does not make them linger for a long time, but hatred will be passed down from generation to generation in the blood. Murong Diao's feud Yuwen Xianbei came to the door.

In 302, Yuwen Mogui, the chief of Yuwen Xianbei, ordered his younger brother Yuwen Quyun to lead an army to attack Murong Diao.

Yuwen Quyun's attack ended in failure. Murong Diao adopted the tactic of avoiding the real and attacking the false, avoiding Yuwen Quyun's main force, attacking from the flank, and inflicting heavy losses on his other generals, Yuwen Suyan.

Subsequently, the shy and angry Yuwen Suyan led an army of 100,000 to attack again, besieging the capital of Murong Xianbei, Da Thorn City. All of a sudden, Yuwen Suyan's great name shocked Murong Xianbei, and everyone in Murong Xuan's subordinates was in danger, and the army had no heart to fight!

At the critical juncture, Murong Diao's perseverance and perseverance were highlighted here, and he personally led the army to attack, boosted morale, and once again severely damaged the Yuwen Suyan Corps, which was recorded in history: pursued a hundred miles and captured more than 10,000 people. Meng Hui of the Xianbei Yuwen Department led thousands of troops to surrender to Murong Diao.

The more in times of crisis, the more the general's personal ability can play a key role, Su Xun said in "Heart Art": For the way of the general, the heart should be cured first. Mount Tai collapsed in front and did not change color, and the elk was in the left and did not look instantaneous, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy. When Yuwen Suyan's 100,000 troops gathered to join the ants, Murong Diao did not panic like his people, and was still able to remain calm and calmly and objectively point out the shortcomings of Yuwen Suyan's army: incurable. And when fighting, he can take the lead, motivate the soldiers, fight bravely in an unfavorable situation, reverse the decline in one fell swoop, and turn defeat into victory.

Think about Sima Zhen of the Jin Empire's "why not eat minced meat", isn't it inevitable that Murong Xianbei and even the rise of Wuhu? It's also exciting!

In 307, Murong Diao called himself Xianbei Da Danyu.

The so-called self-proclaimed means that no one has added the seal, and he calls himself "Xianbei Da Danyu". In 307, the first year after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the first year of Emperor Yongjia of Jin Huai. That year, the army of the Huns Liu Yuan had already reached the city of Luoyang, and the establishment of the Xiongnu Han State was also in full swing. The powerful Jin Empire in the past was still too busy to take care of itself, where could it still use its strength and courage to deter the Xianbei tribes far away from the pass.

As a result, Murong Diao, who had always belonged to the Jin Empire, also sealed himself by himself. …… It saves a lot of cumbersome etiquette processes up and down the court of the Great Jin Dynasty!

In 309, Murong Diao annexed Sulian and Mujin. This is a war between the same clan, and of course there is an excuse: King Qin!

That year, Liaodong Taishou Pang Ben killed Li Zhen, the captain of Dongyi, because of personal grudges, this kind of matter should be reported to the imperial court according to the procedure to wait for the holy ruling, but the holy ruling could not be solved, and it could only be solved locally. As a result, Xianbei people Su Lian, Mu Jin and others took the opportunity to make trouble under the pretext of avenging Li Zhen.

The local government of the Jin Empire could not suppress it, and it was defeated repeatedly! In this context, Murong Diao accepted the suggestion of his son Murong Han and sent troops to King Qin to help the Jin Empire suppress the rebellion of Sulian and Mujin!

In the case of the Western Jin Dynasty's ups and downs and its own insecurity, where do the princes who have a little strength not want to win the world?

"King Qin" was the best excuse for annexing dissidents in that era, prospering a teacher, doing righteous things, and enriching oneself. Why not? Of course, if the "king" falls into the hands of the people of the king, the end is not much better than falling into the hands of those rebellious thieves.

The eventful autumn of the Jin Kingdom, the glorious moment of Murong Xianbei.

The dialogue in which Murong Han suggested that Murong Diao send troops can be called a classic of the strategic decision-making of ancient soldiers, and we will focus on the chapter on Murong Han in the following chapter.

In 313, Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty Sima Chi was killed, the same guy who wore a green coat and a small hat to pour wine for the ministers. Not killing is an insult, but killing is even more shameful! This is the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty, which claims to be a great power, cannot protect its own emperor, and there will be a second and third ...... in the future.

The old emperor is dead, and the new emperor should be established! After Sima Chi's death, the widow of the Jin State established the prince Sima Ye as the emperor, and he was the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

In the same year, Sima Wang Jun of the Jin Dynasty was ordered to appoint Murong Diao as a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, a champion general, a forward governor of the capital, and a great single Yu (finally officially canonized).

At that time, although the Jin Empire was in turmoil and precariousness, the legitimacy of its regime was still irreplaceable, and its canonization still had a strong legal effect, even in the hearts of nomads.

During the reign of Emperor Jin Shu, he once again added an official to Murong Diao, a general of the Zhenjun, Changli, and Liaodong.

In 317, Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty (not yet the emperor at that time) was called the king of Jin, undertook the system, and sealed Murong Diao: False Festival, Scattered Cavalry Standing Attendant, Governor Liaozuo Zayi Liuren Zhu Military, General Long Xiang, Da Shan Yu, and Chang Li Gong.

Three times in a row, all at the time of the new king's accession to the throne or in danger, without him, the new king needs to seek support and foreign aid, if not to make him an ally, but not to make such a powerful force an enemy. Of course, whether to accept it or not, Murong Diao also weighed the pros and cons in judging the situation.

For example, after Sima Rui gave Murong Diao an official title, Murong Diao immediately sent an envoy by sea to persuade Emperor Jin Yuan to ascend the throne and become emperor. Regarding this trip, Murong Diao also made up his mind after listening to the advice of his staff, let's take a look at what Murong Diao's staff said to persuade Murong Diao.

"Now that the two capitals have overturned, the Son of Heaven has been martyred, and the evil king of Lang (Emperor Jin Yuan) has settled in Jiangdong, which is really the desire of the people. The Ming Dynasty ruled the northern region and ruled one side, but the tribes still relied on the strength of the people to raise troops and rebelled, and did not follow the royal Taoism, the reason for which was that the official position was not appointed by the king, and he considered himself powerful. Now it is time to send an envoy to make peace with the evil king of Lang, exhort him to inherit the great cause, and then widely spread the emperor's order to crusade against the guilty, who dares not to obey!"

The fundamental starting point of politics is to safeguard the fundamental interests of one's own side, and there are no friends, no enemies, and still less morality. If there is, it is only a tool to serve one's own interests. Our complex interpersonal relationships in society have some human flavor, and compared with it, they are still beautiful and simple.

The Jin Kingdom needed to use Murong Diao to increase its momentum and reflect the prestige of the kingdom; Murong Diao needed the recognition of the Jin State and his status was legitimate, so as to consolidate and expand his foundation. Mutual utilization value is the premise of friendship between the two sides. What's more, the general trend of Sima Rui's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor is something that Murong Diao can't change, so why not persuade him?

In 319, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Yuwen Xianbei, and Duanbu Xianbei besieged Murong Diao. In fact, there is one more party, the last Dongyi captain of the Western Jin Dynasty, who is the mastermind behind the scenes-Cui Yu.

Cui Yu, Han nationality, born in a famous family, official to Pingzhou Assassin History, Dongyi Lieutenant, Lu belongs to Liu Kun Group. At that time, the northern exiles fled north one after another, but most of them defected to Murong Diao, although Cui Yu had a soft heart, but no one was attached, and resentment arose!

In fact, we should keep a clear head: whose fault is it that the fleeing Jin people did not defect to their own officials and went to seek refuge with foreign forces?

Cui Yu contacted Goguryeo, Yuwen Xianbei, and Duan's Xianbei, and made an appointment to destroy Murong Diao and divide the land. In 319, the three kingdoms jointly attacked Murong Xianbei.

No matter how gentle it is, what people yearn for will always be the greater good.

"Bixin Cui said falsely, inviting a momentary profit, and the rabble comes to the ear. There is no unity, there is no way to ambush each other, and I will break it now. However, when the other army first united, its edge was very sharp, and fortunately I fought quickly. If you counterattack it, you will fall into its plan. If you wait for it, you will be suspicious and suspicious. One is to suspect that I am and to overcome, and the other is to suspect that there are Han and Wei conspirators in the Three Kingdoms, and to treat them to be frustrated, and then take them" ("Jin Shu • The Biography of Murong Diao").

From the above paragraph, it can be seen that Murong Diao is familiar with the story of the separation of the three families, and wants to reinterpret this story! In fact, the course of the war was much the same.

First of all, Murong Diao can't hold out, one to avoid the enemy's edge, frustrate the enemy's spirit, Murong Diao needs to rely on perseverance to wear down the enemy's morale, and kill and injure its vital force, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: ants attached to the siege of the city, the killer is half and the city is not pulled out, the next strategy is also; The second is to delay time, because late will change, especially for the tribal alliance that is not subordinate to each other, after the enthusiasm of the alliance is cooled down by time, the internal contradictions will gradually become prominent, and the situation of disagreement will inevitably occur.

Murong Diao took advantage of this.

The means are very simple, just send an envoy with a few truckloads of wine and meat to the Yuwen Xianbei Labor Army, of course, it is reasonable to spread some gossip along the way, such as: Cui Yu sent an envoy to talk with our family Dashan Yu last night! …… What to talk about? So how do I know! Don't tell Goguryeo and Duanbe Xianbei about such a confidential matter!

At that time, Goguryeo and Xianbei Duan retreated and returned and left quietly, not knowing the Yuwen Xianbei Division.

A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man who is good! The weakness of human nature has made the discord plan effective many times and endured, and it has long been recorded in the history books. Those who have come before have suffered greatly, and those who have come after have never changed.

"Although the two countries are returned, I should be the sole and the rest of the country, how to use people" ("Jin Shu • Murong Diao Ji"), this is the declaration of war between Yuwen Xianbei and Yuwen Xi, the only official, after learning that the two countries had withdrawn.

In terms of the strategic situation at that time, Murong Xianbei's department had a geographical advantage, and Murong Diao's eldest son, Murong Han, was based on Shoutu River (now Jinzhou City, Liaoning), and Murong Diao formed a trend of internal and external support. And the only advantage of Yuwen Xianbei's department is that there are many people - the company camp is thirty miles around Murong Diao.

The large number of people is a symbol of strength, and it is the capital of Yuwen Xi's Duguan who still dares to attack Murong Diao alone even when he learns that all his allies have withdrawn. After all, at that time, Murong Ke, known as the first god of war of the Sixteen Kingdoms, had not yet grown up, and the cell at the beginning of his life was still pregnant in his parents' bodies, and his later prestige could not cause people to hear about it at this time!

The "military plotting" before the war has been completed, although the threat has been weakened a little, but it is still a strong enemy pressing the territory! Murong Diao did not have the leisure to wash and sleep, polished his sword, called his son, put away all his fatigue, fought for the survival of the tribe, and fought for the search for a space for development in the troubled times! Life and death, more than this; But life and death are at stake here!

Facing Yuwen Xianbei's army, Murong Diao took the lead in attacking. The prince Murong Hao charged ahead, and the eldest son Murong Han outflanked him from the flanks. At that time, as soon as the vanguard army met with blades, Murong Han had already rushed into the barracks of the Yuwen Ministry and set fire to the camp to create chaos, which in turn caused panic among the front army, and the Yuwen Xianbei army was immediately defeated. Yuwen learned that the only official fled for his life, and Murong Diao captured all of them.

In this battle, the eldest son Murong Han made great contributions, and his merits and limelight even overshadowed the prince Murong Hao, who rushed to kill the enemy in the front army. It's really people who block and kill, and Buddha who blocks and kills Buddha, which is extremely powerful! Murong Hao blocked .......

The defeat belonged to Cui Yu, and from the moment Yuwen Xianbei was defeated, it meant that all his plans came to naught. Not to mention the resettlement of displaced people, it is already good to be able to find a place to settle yourself.

It should be said that Cui Yu was lucky, and after learning that Murong Diao had broken Yuwen Xianbei, Cui Yu led dozens of horsemen to flee to Goguryeo. Shortly thereafter, the Choi family moved to the Korean Peninsula, where they have settled and flourished. Later, later, this became the origin and origin of the Choi family, the country of Asahi distinct!

At that time, Murong Xianbei was still a vassal state of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, and of course there was a reward for a big victory, as the suzerain, when the Murong Department was in danger and desperately fought bloodily, it was already very unfortunate that he could not send troops to rescue, if he couldn't give some rewards after the war, how could he expect others to continue to respect him as the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire? What's more, the things that were rewarded were originally obtained by others, and they were obtained by force of war! What the Eastern Jin Dynasty did was just a favor!

Emperor Jin Yuan sent an envoy to appoint Murong Diao as the superintendent of the military of Pingzhou, the general of Anbei, and the assassin of Pingzhou, plus 2,000 households. Soon he was appointed as an envoy, a governor of You, a military officer in Pingerzhou, a general of chariots and cavalry, and a pastor in Pingzhou, and entered the county of Liaodong, with 10,000 households in the city, and the constant servants, Shan Yu, etc., were the same; At the same time, he gave Murong Diao the privileged Danshu iron coupon (the one that spared death no matter how many people he killed), ruled the Haidong area, placed hundreds of officials, and set up Pingzhou to guard the slaughter.

The rule of the Murong Xianbei family is becoming more and more stable!
