On the other hand, in the north at this time, the former Yan and Liangzhou had just been destroyed, the people's hearts had not recovered, and Fu Jian's undifferentiated and unprincipled policy of leniency and reconciliation led to the Di people having no advantage in the north, and the newly surrendered Xianbei people, Huns and Qiang people were lurking, and once the southern expedition failed, they would take advantage of the situation and destroy the former Qin Empire, which seemed to be in full swing.

So Wang Meng persuaded Fu Jian not to think about the southern expedition before he died, and slowly digested the north, Xu Tu raised it later, but Fu Jian thought that this was Wang Meng's selfishness as a Han person, and he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Meng's prophecy came true, just as the fierce and swift infantry in the south could not resist the iron cavalry rushing to and fro like the wind in the north, and the war horses and heavy infantry in the north could not adapt to the geographical characteristics of the southern water network and muddy roads, Fu Jian's 300,000 main army was defeated in one fell swoop by less than 80,000 Beifu troops in the famous Battle of Weishui, and Fu Jian's imperial ambition and his former Qin Empire were also wiped out in this battle.

After Fu Jian's defeat and return to the north, the heroes of all ethnic groups who were defeated and suppressed by him have fallen down and pushed the people, and raised troops to stand on their own, Murong Yong in Guanzhong, Yao Chang of Qiang, Murong Chui in Guandong, Duan Shrine in Qingzhou, Zhai Zhao in Henan, and Tuoba Silicon in Daibei, all betrayed him when Fu Jian needed help the most, and a generation of emperor Fu Jian, also died at the hands of Yao Chang, in the Wujiang Mountain outside Chang'an City, leaving an elegy for the emperors through the ages.

After years of conquest, Murong Chui finally eliminated the Duan Shrine in Qingzhou, and Zhai Zhao of Ding Lingren in Henan. and the Xiyan Group, which is also Murong's Xianbei. Successfully restored to the former Yan's hometown in the Kanto region. established Houyan, in order to prevent the recurrence of the past when the Yan Empire's clan killed each other and led to the ruin of the country and the family, he set the title of the crown prince Murong Bao early, but Murong Chui did not expect that he was using a bigger mistake to correct another.

Murong Bao himself is a mediocre material, and his ability is far inferior to that of his younger brothers, but he is not tolerated. Just thinking about fishing for merit on the battlefield, by the way, he stepped on his younger brothers and uncles fiercely when he was scooping merit, but it was a pity that he faced the opponent of the Tuoba clan Xianbei, who had risen in the northern grasslands and later established the Northern Wei Empire.

Although the Xianbei of the Tuoba clan and the Xianbei of the Murong clan belong to the same clan, they are not a tribe, and the hometown of the tribe is also in Daibei outside the Saiwai, not the Liaodong of the Murong clan. The young master of the Tuoba clan, Tuoba Si, was far inferior to the famous Murong family as a prisoner and official in the former Qin.

After the end of Qianqin, Tuoba Silicon also took the opportunity to run back to Daibei's hometown. Successfully gathered the clansmen left by the grandfathers, and began to rise on the grassland, sure enough, for the benevolence of the emperor, cutting the blood ties that are not diluted is the most real existence, in the process of the Tuoba clan's conquest of the grassland, Murong's Houyan Empire at the beginning and the Tuoba clan maintained a friendly alliance relationship, and sent troops to help each other many times, while the Houyan Empire successfully restored the country in the eastern part of the country, the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Tuoba clan also became a unified grassland, the super strong in the desert.

There are no two days, there are no two masters of the country, it has been the same truth since ancient times, plus there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, the former allies of Houyan and Northern Wei finally turned against each other, and the decisive battle between the two countries was in a place called Shenhepo, in this battle, Murong Chui did not go into battle by himself due to old age and illness, but gave the country's hundreds of thousands of elites to Murong Bao, and a straw bag commanded a group of younger brothers and uncles with their own plans to go to the battlefield, and the consequences were far more terrible than sheep commanding a group of lions.

Tuoba Si also adopted the strategy of avoiding the enemy's edge and luring the enemy into depth, not confronting the elite of the Yan State for many years, but relying on the Yellow River to confront it across the river, during which he also spread rumors that Murong Chui was dead to the Yan army, Murong Bao was very clear about his own few catties and taels, and he also understood that the reason why he was able to be in this position was completely due to his father's prestige, so as soon as he heard the news of his father's death, he ordered the whole army to retreat, wanting to rush back to the capital to take the throne.

There seems to be providence in the dark, when the Yan army retreated, the Yellow River suddenly had a night of winter wind, freezing three feet, and the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty could cross the river directly from the ice without ferrying, and Murong Bao quarreled with his younger brother Murong Lin, who had been eyeing his position, and sent this younger brother to be the rear guard of the whole army, but Murong Lin did not do the rear guard at all, but quietly led the troops to the capital at night, wanting to take the first step to ascend the throne as the emperor.

When the sun rose, Murong Bao found that the surrounding plateau was already full of cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his tens of thousands of troops had not had time to put on their armor and mount their horses.

After the old hero Murong Trai heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood, but in order to save the Yan Kingdom that was on the verge of extinction, he still ignored his old age and illness, put on armor and went out to fight, and reluctantly repelled Tuoba Si's attack of victory.

A few years after Murong was dying, Murong Bao's Houyan quickly collapsed under the continuous blows of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was divided into two small states, Southern Yan and Northern Yan, living in Qingzhou and Liaodong, and later destroyed by Liu Yu and Northern Wei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty respectively.

Wang Huaqiang finished telling the story of the Murong clan in one breath, thinking about Wang Tu's hegemony, it was empty in a blink of an eye, and he himself was embarrassed, he didn't even drink a sip of water from beginning to end, and the wheat iron rod couldn't take his eyes off it, and he didn't even breathe, and before he knew it, a touch of morning light had penetrated through the cracks in the wooden planks of the window hole.

Mai Tiezhu sighed long: "Success or failure is empty, since ancient times, there is no immortal empire, and there is no eternal undefeated family, compared to those thousand-year-old families of our Han people, these Hu tribes are also flourishing, and their demise is also sudden, even if they are dominant for a while, what can they do?" ”

Wang Huaqiang also nodded: "Yes, a great Han family like the five surnames Qiwang, whether the Han people are the emperor or the Hu people are the emperor, whether the emperor is surnamed Liu, Cao, Murong, or Tuoba, it will not affect their children to become officials in the court, and it will not affect their families to spread out and develop and grow."

When I was a teenager, I always looked down on these Han people who were officials in foreign regimes, thinking that these people were traitors and acting for the tiger, but after a long time and experience, I felt that these people were really powerful.

The incompetence of the Han regime allowed foreign invasions and the sinking of China, but the tradition of the Han people has not been eliminated, especially Confucianism, which is based on agricultural civilization, has become the spiritual core of our Han people, even if the Hu people enter the Central Plains, they must bow to this tradition.

The Xiongnu Han State, which only knows violence and does not understand culture, and the simple and crude Hu barbarian regimes such as the Later Zhao Dynasty will soon be eliminated, and only the Hu people like the former Qin, Yan State, and Northern Wei Dynasty who respect the Han scholars and families, change customs, and take the initiative to be assimilated by our Han culture, can prolong the national ancestry.

Therefore, after the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when Emperor Xiaowen arrived, he still had to be completely sinicized, and even their Tuoba clan was changed to the surname Yuan. After the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty was the Han regime of the Xianbei Huhua, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the Xianbei Yuwen regime of the Sinicization, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was still Sinicized, won the victory. ”

Mai Tiezhu also nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, when I was in Jiangnan before, I didn't see the north, and I thought that the north of the Yangtze River had become a place for the Hu people to herd horses and sheep, but when I personally went to the north for a walk, I found that it was still no different from our Han people in Jiangnan, and even the Hu people were assimilated by our Han people's way of life."
