Chapter 306: Murong's Past (2)

After fighting in Liaodong for many years, the Murong clan defeated the powerful Yuwen tribe and the Duan tribe, and also defeated the small northeastern Goguryeo that intended to unify Liaodong and Korea, and then entered the Central Plains.

At this time, the Central Plains, the Han State established by the Huns (the Huns Liu Yuan was the first to rise in the Wuhu Rebellion period, he was ashamed to say that he was the son-in-law of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty was established at the beginning, and later changed the name of the country to Zhao after the Central Plains, and also changed the Han surname to Liu. ) has been replaced by Later Zhao, which was founded by Shile.

At that time, Hou Zhao, even in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms when tigers and wolves were rampant, was extremely barbaric, and Hou Zhao's lord Shihu was a tyrant without humanity, adultery and slaughter were all he and his tiger and wolf barbarian army life, relying on brutality and iron blood, Hou Zhao occupied almost the entire northern Central Plains except for Liangzhou.

Shi Hu's eyes were cast on the Murong tribe in the land of Liaodong, and the tyrant of the Xianbei tribe, who had fought all his life, keenly felt the huge potential and threat of these Xianbei people, so he raised a large army to attack Yan, but was attacked by the Murong tribe with a beautiful defensive counterattack, defeated Shi Hu's violent army that swept the world, and beheaded more than 100,000.

After Shi Hu returned from defeat, the house leaked overnight, and several sons pinched you to death for the position of prince. Even slaughtered brothers with their own hands. was so angry that Shi Hu whimpered. After his death, his sons rose up and attacked each other, and the Later Zhao Empire, founded on violence and terror, quickly collapsed.

At that time, the Central Plains was a hell on earth, and Shi Hu's adopted grandson. Han Ran Min took the opportunity to stand on his own, killed all the sons and nephews of Shihu, established the Ran Wei Empire, and issued an order to kill Hu, declaring that "there are six Yi inside and outside, and all those who call the soldiers are beheaded". More than 200,000 Hu people were killed.

Although Ran Wei has the courage of the overlord Xiang Yu, he is politically short-sighted. Strategically unplanned, although there was a certain advantage in attacking and killing the Hu people on the battlefield, he never expelled all the Hu people from the Central Plains, on the contrary, he couldn't wait to claim the emperor's self-reliance, cut off the connection with the Han dynasty of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and fell into an embattled situation.

Due to the years of conquest in the Central Plains, production was completely destroyed, and after Ran Min founded the country, he suddenly found that he had no soldiers to fight in his country, let alone food and grass. It was at this time that Murong Jun, the head of the Xianbei Murong clan, made a major decision, and all of them fell south, and 400,000 cavalry swept across the Central Plains to establish his own Dayan Empire!

Ran Min, who led more than 10,000 infantry to the north to forage for food, was running headlong into the main force of more than 100,000 Murong cavalry, and the main general of this army was Murong Ke, who was known as the first general of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

The invincible Xianbei cavalry in the northern grasslands actually lost ten battles and ten defeats in a few days, and their morale declined greatly, while Ran Min's subordinates won the victory, but they also suffered heavy casualties, showing fatigue, and the hoplites could not catch up with the four-legged war horses, and every time it was a rout, unable to form annihilation.

At the time of the final decisive battle, Murong Ke, in order to prevent his already frightened subordinates from habitually crushing at the touch of a button again, tied all the legs of the five thousand horsemen of the Chinese Army Guards with iron cables, which were for a chain of horses, and the whole row of dozens of horsemen was a team, so that even if one or two people wanted to escape, it was impossible to escape. Murong Ke personally set up the Shuai Qi in the middle of the 5,000 horsemen, attracted Ran Min's main force with the Chinese army's chain of horses, outflanked the enemy on both sides, and strived to annihilate them completely.

The bloody and cruel battle lasted from dawn to dusk, and the Ran Wei army finally fell short because of being outnumbered, and Ran Min, who had the courage of the king, had a long lance in his left hand and a big knife in his right hand, killed more than 300 people in a row in this battle, and rushed to a few dozen steps away from Murong Ke's handsome banner several times, but it was only a little bit behind, unable to break through the chain of war horse formations, and could only be forced to break through before the whole army was annihilated.

After Ran Min escaped from Lu, he died of exhaustion due to his mount, sweat and blood, and he was also captured by the Murong clan, and was beheaded in Longcheng in Liaodong after the last time.

Standing on the corpse of the Ran Wei Empire, the Murong clan successfully entered the Central Plains, occupied the vast territory east of Tongguan and north of the Huai River, and established the Qianyan Empire (why do you want a former word, the following will come), at this time, the Murong clan was extremely prosperous, with more than 400,000 soldiers, and the territory occupied was also the core area of the Han nationality.

When the Murong clan had just been founded, the real power of the Han regime in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south was controlled by the powerful ministers, the great warlord Hengwen of Jingzhou, who took advantage of the beginning of the Yan State to set up an army of 50,000 troops to the north.

And Murong Ke responded calmly, aiming at Wu Bing Qingguo, but transportation became the weakness of the problem, all the way to lure the army of constant temperature to the north of Fangtou, and then cut off its grain route, surrounded by iron horses, and finally defeated Heng Wen, so that Heng Wen, who is a famous general in the world, experienced the worst defeat in his life, luckier than Ran Min, he also fled back to Jiangnan with less than 10,000 remnants of the defeated general, so angry that he even abolished the two Eastern Jin Dynasty emperors, but he no longer dared to talk about the Northern Expedition.

After this great victory, Yan Guo can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the north, and by defeating the two famous generals Ran Min and Heng Wen, Murong Ke became a well-deserved first general of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

At that time, the three major powers in the world stood side by side: the former Yan of Guandong, the former Qin of Guanzhong, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty of Jiangnan, which belonged to the strongest one, and the brothers and nephews of Murong Jun, the emperor of Yan State, were also heroes, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Murong De and others, all of whom were world-famous generals, leading the army to fight, and invincible. Whether it was the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River or the former Qin of the Diren regime in Guanzhong, they could only fear the former Yan, guard the door, and dare not compete with it.

But the Murong clan has one of the worst traditions, that is, the infighting between the families, this family has many talents, and there are endless wise generals, but everyone is proud of their talents, and they will stare at the highest chair, since Murong Tuyuhun left, this seems to have become a lingering spell for this family, which lasted until the demise of the Murong clan.

Murong Jun died a few years after the founding of the country, and Murong Ke soon followed, and the later lord Murong Wei was an incompetent person, but he was also suspicious of his uncle, who had outstanding abilities and could be called the pillar of the country, and forced the famous general Murong Chui's family to be ruined, and was forced to defect to the former Qin, and the former Yan State of the Murong clan also consumed too much national strength and family cohesion in the internal friction, and was wiped out by the former Qin Empire, which had the golden monarch and Wang Meng, the pair of golden monarchs and ministers.

Fu Jian's former Qin Empire is the greatest Hu regime in the north of the Wuhu Rebellion era, although Fu Jian is a Di people, but has a rare benevolence and eloquence among the Han emperors, in the territory to implement ethnic harmony, the policy of equality of all ethnic groups, for the surrender of their enemy monarchs, but also the official reward, lenient treatment, his prime minister Wang Meng is even more Zhuge talent, can be called a famous minister, and military talent is more than Zhuge Wuhou is more than equal.

After eliminating the former Yan and unifying the north, the complacent Fu Jian was ready to drink the Yangtze River, eliminate the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and dominate the world, but Wang Meng, who was already seriously ill at that time, realized that the Eastern Jin Dynasty's qi was not exhausted.
