Just after the ugly time, with the sound of a few bangs, there was a sound of footsteps on the horse face of the city wall.

I saw a team of Jin soldiers yawning and going up to the city tower with knives and guns.

At this time, the night watchman, who had been waiting impatiently, saw that the shift change was coming, and couldn't help but shout: "Damn, didn't you wake up?" Why is it so rubbing? ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of men walked out of the city gate tower, each with a sleepy face, stretching their waists and yawning.

When the little leader who was about to hand over saw this, he couldn't help frowning, and wanted to say something.

But when I thought that the winter vigil was very hard, I swallowed it back when the words came to my mouth.

It is not to blame the Jin soldiers for being careless, but after the Battle of Weishui, the situation between the north and the south has really eased a lot, and few conflicts have broken out.

A few years ago, in order to compete for territory, the Eastern Jin Dynasty also fought with the northern Zhuhu several times.

However, in recent years, because the northern Zhuhu were busy killing each other and could not afford to look south, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell into internal strife, the northern front entered a period of calm for a while.

The upper-level generals were negligent in their guards, and the ordinary soldiers followed suit, so they naturally relaxed their vigilance.

After the handover, the little leader glanced at the night with some anxiety, and ordered: "Everyone work hard, first patrol along the city wall." ”

More than a dozen soldiers couldn't help but show bitterness when they heard this, and one of them said boldly at first glance: "Boss, it's freezing outside, and people are shivering as soon as they stop there." ”

"The brothers can't bear it, why don't you go into the building to avoid the cold?"

When the little leader heard this, he scolded: "Where is so much nonsense? If you are told to make a patrol, you will be on patrol! What if an enemy sneaks up on you? ”

The soldier was bored, and he smiled, but he still didn't move.

Seeing that his subordinates were reluctant to go out on patrol, the little leader was helpless.

After all, he wasn't the only one who did this, almost all of the Night's Watch soldiers were the same.

If the war is tense, he can still use military law to force everyone to obey, but if he still does this in peacetime, he is afraid that he will be stabbed in the back by his comrades on the battlefield.

When the others saw that the leader no longer asked them to patrol the night, they all smiled and said, "The leader is too responsible, and if you want me to say, you are too worried." ”

"With this ghost weather, who would be stupid to sneak attack on a cold winter moon?"

"That's it, that's it, now the Hu people in the north have already made a pot of porridge, how can they care about us? You haven't seen that even the Taishou is no longer checking the post. ”

"Alas!" The little boss smiled wryly and sighed.

"I know what you say, but after all, we are on the front line, and Dongping County is even more under the noses of the Xianbei people."

"Although it's been peaceful recently, when I think of the famous Murong Trai on the other side, I am always terrified."

"Hey, hey, chief, I heard that you fought against the Xianbei people on the battlefield? Are they that powerful? ”

"What do you know?! Do you really think that Murong Chui's title as a world-famous general is a fool's blow? ”

"Don't say anything else, isn't the famous General Liu powerful? But when he arrived on the battlefield, he was still beaten by Murong Trai and urinated?! ”

"I don't agree with what the boss said, you said that Murong Chui was so powerful, wasn't he defeated by Xuan Shuai in Weishui back then?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's still handsome, and he beat the millions of Hu people."

Then everyone began to argue about who was the number one general in the world, completely forgetting about the vigil.

It's a pity that because of this negligence, he not only gave up the city under his feet to the enemy, but also lost his own life.

……

Although Xuchang City is the seat of Dongping County, the city is not very strong, and the city wall is not very high, only more than one zhang high.

When the defenders in the city were still hiding in the city tower to avoid the cold, the Houyan army had quietly attacked.

Murong Nong, the former general of the army, selected dozens of elite soldiers from the army, ordered everyone to sneak quietly to the city, and successfully climbed to the top of the city by night.

Subsequently, under their answer, hundreds of descendants climbed up to the top of the city.

At this time, the defenders of the city slept and chatted, and no one noticed that the enemy had come.

After the Houyan people climbed the city wall, they quietly touched the city tower.

It was only then that the guards spotted several figures in the night, but before they could see who was on the other side, the Houyan bow and arrow had already pierced the throat of one of them.

Then, before the others could scream, the rest of the Houyan people had already rushed up quickly and launched a frenzied killing spree against the terrified defenders.

In less than a cup of tea, most of the Jin soldiers who were in charge of the night vigil at the head of the city had been killed and wounded.

Later, after the Yan people eliminated the defenders at the head of the city, they began to move near the city gate, preparing to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city.

Like the defenders at the head of the city, the defenders of the city gate were as lax, and only a moment later, the city gate was taken by a small group of Houyan soldiers.

When Murong Nong led the army to successfully attack Xuchang City, Dongping Taishou Wei Jian was still sleeping soundly in the mansion.

Suddenly, a general broke into the backyard in a panic and woke Wei Jian from his dream.

"Fujun, the big thing is not good, the Xianbei people have entered the city."

was disturbed by his sweet dream, Wei Jian was very displeased, and reprimanded the visitor: "Nonsense, Murong Chui can't even handle the little Xiyan, how dare he come to provoke my Dajin?" ”

"Hey, Lord Taishou, it's really Yan Jun coming, I don't believe you listen to the shouting and killing outside."

Wei Jian listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, and at this time, the whole person finally came to his senses.

He sat up abruptly and asked with a look of horror, "How many soldiers and horses are the enemy coming?" But Murong Chui personally led the troops? ”

"I don't know how many enemy subordinates there are, in short, there are shouts of killing everywhere inside and outside the city, and the city gate has been broken!"

As soon as he heard this, Wei Jian had no intention of sleeping, got up and changed into armor, and prepared to escape under the escort of his own soldiers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the mansion, a group of people and horses were killed on the street in front of him, and by the light of the fire, the first general was majesticly killing the Taishou Mansion.

The person who came was Murong Nong, the general of Houyan, and after seizing the city gate, he immediately picked up the elite and went straight to the county guard's mansion.

At that moment, the two sides met in a narrow way and immediately tore together.

How Wei Jian was Murong Nong's opponent, he was successfully killed by Murong Nong after fighting for less than a moment.

……

After severing relations with the Northern Wei Dynasty, Murong Chui began to plan a southern expedition, preparing to further enhance the national strength of Later Yan and prepare for the future Wei and Yan rivalries.

Murong Chui chose to go south instead of continuing to go west to fight against Western Yan precisely because he saw through that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was just a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre.

At this time, ten years have passed since the Battle of Weishui, and the Beifu soldiers who dominated the world back then have long since fallen.

In the winter of 393 AD, Murong Chui left the crown prince Murong Bao to guard Zhongshan, and appointed Murong Lin as the right servant of Shangshu to shoot and concur Taiwan affairs.

He personally led Murong De, the king of Fanyang, Murong Nong, the king of Liaoxi, and others to expand their territory to the south, and the troops were directed at Qing, Yan, Xu and other places, and the prefectures and counties recovered by the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the Battle of Weishui.

As soon as the Hou Yan army arrived, those defenders immediately saw the wind and surrendered to Hou Yan, and Murong Chui easily advanced his forces to the south of the Yellow River.

At present, the person in charge of the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Huaibei is Liu Gaozhi, a famous general of Beifu who is sitting in Xuzhou, and he never expected that Murong Chui would sneak attack Qingyan.

Before, he had always thought that Murong Chui's target was to merge with Xiyan, so he didn't take any defensive measures at all.

Liu Xuanzhi, a person who is far inferior to Xie Xuanbi in terms of vision and strategy, can only be a general, not a handsome.

And this person was once defeated by Murong Trai, and he was full of fear of Murong Trai, and this also laid the groundwork for the fall of Qingxu in the future.

After making preparations before the war, Murong Chui personally led tens of thousands of foot horses, kicking off the prelude to the southern expedition.

Murong Nong led the army under Murong Chui's strict order and rushed straight to Yanzhou, Dongping, Xiaqiu and other counties.

In the following days, Murong Chui gave full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry, and took advantage of the lack of reaction of the defenders in various parts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and occupied most of the cities of Qingyan by route.

Murong Chui's attack was completely beyond the expectations of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whether it was the front-line commander or the court, there was no psychological preparation.

In just over a month, Murong Nong attacked Liqiu, Annan general Yin Guo attacked Yangcheng, and Dongping Taishou Wei Jian was defeated and killed.

Along the way, the defenders in various places faced the powerful offensive of the Yan army, and the county guards of Gaoping, Taishan, and Langxi all abandoned the city and fled.

Later Yan expanded the land and annexed the entire Yanzhou, as well as most of Qingzhou.

It not only restored the original land of the former Yanhuai North, but also recovered the adverse effects caused by the defeat of the Western Yan.
