Murong Ke, the number one general in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, not only defeated and conquered invincible, but also had both civil and military qualifications, both ability and political integrity, and was blameless in terms of moral character. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he was born as a 'Yidi person' of the Xianbei clan, when it comes to Murong Ke, even if he is a harsh person, it is difficult to have any biased and narrow-minded contemptuous remarks. Later, Wang Fuzhi, a historian, even believed that the five hus swirled up and disappeared, like a passing cloud. Among them, those who were known as heroes at that time were actually full of evil deeds and wanton killing. But the only one who can win the hearts of the people and enjoy a good reputation, and is respected and admired by both Hu and Han, is Murong Ke, who can be described as the best among the Yi people.

Such a lonely alien and a genius in the world turned out to be a son and nephew who was related to him. Gao Yue was speechless for a while, and his heart was extremely shocked and complicated. Li Songnian sat down, peeking to watch, seeing Gao Yue's face unpredictable, and secretly wondering if he had said something wrong, after quickly sifting back in his mind, he was sure that he had not made any mistakes, so, it was just a baby, was it worth the emperor to be so stunned?

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, if Your Majesty thinks that King Yan will name it without retribution, it is very rude, you can let him withdraw his life and wait for His Majesty's name. ”

After all, such silence was a bit restrained and embarrassing, and Li Songnian cautiously and softly admonished. Gao Yue woke up like a dream, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ah, no, no! It's called Murong Ke, it's called Murong Ke! It's a great name, don't change it. Well...... So, you come here. ”

Li Songnian hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to listen to instructions. Gao Yue thought for a while, and then pondered: "You choose some reliable and capable people, sneak to Liaodong Thorn City, pay close attention to Murong Ke's daily life, and secretly protect the safety of Princess Dongning's mother and son from time to time. If there is an extraordinary change, or if there is a good opportunity, remember! At all costs, she must also bring her mother and son back to me, especially pay attention to Murong Ke not to be harmed by the half! In short, call all the people to adapt to protect him. ”

No matter how stunned he was in his heart, Li Songnian was able to not say much and not question, and his face was calm.

Gao Yue stabilized his mood, rubbed his cheeks, and turned the topic back to the topic: "A few days ago, Xie Ai sent a note from the south, saying that the north of Jingzhou has been completely controlled by our army, and now he is besieging Jiangling with all his might. Recently, have you sent someone to visit Jiangnan? ”

"Just about to start your majesty. Here is a letter from the sea. According to his reliable information, five days ago, the Jin army was defeated by Su Jun's general Han Huang. The Jin army was first defeated in Lujiang, and then defeated by Peng Ze, 50,000 troops either died or surrendered, the Jin general Tao Kan could not advance to the east, and was firmly blocked by General Xie to the west, and felt that there was no hope, so he fled all the way to Guangzhou with less than 20,000 descendants, and there may be a tendency to cede land and stand on his own. And the former Xiangguo Yu Liang escaped ahead of schedule and is currently missing. ”

Li Songnian stood up, bowed, and said with a smile on his face: "The former Jin Dynasty has been in turmoil, and it is your majesty who is the capital of God." The minister is happy for His Majesty, and I am in the same country, just around the corner. ”

Gao Yue said with a smile: "As you said, Wen Qiao died of illness, Tao Kan fled, Yu Liang also fled without a trace, the once so strong Qinwang army also fell apart, there is no strong resistance force in the south, Su Jun is afraid that he will be the emperor." However, the clan of the southern gate lords is deep-rooted, arrogant, and complex, and they are still dissatisfied with each other, so how can they bow down to Su Jun, who was unknown a few years ago? Although he was oppressed by Su Jun's strong force for a while, he would inevitably try his best to overthrow Su Jun's position. If my guess is correct, the south will be in turmoil for a long time. ”

"And today's moon hangs upside down, and the turmoil is unbearable, Sima Gong has always been a rich house, can he bear to sit back and watch the lives in the south be ruined?"

Jingzhou, a hundred miles away from Jiangling City, is a large camp of the Qin army. Coach Xie Ai, wearing silver and bright light armor, sat high on the top, and was full of spirit. He was looking at the prisoners below, and he was making persuasive words.

At the bottom of the stairs, the prisoner looked like he was about fifty years old, his face was sallow and dull, his gray hair was messy, and he was becoming more and more thin and desolate, but only a pair of eyes were still shining, full of unyielding vitality. This person is Sima Cheng, the assassin of Xiangzhou in the Jin Dynasty and the king of Chen.

When the Qin and Jin countries completely broke up, Xie Ai did not hesitate to start a military operation, aiming directly at the important place of Jingzhou. At that time, the Jin State Jingzhou thorn Shi Tao Kan, was going east, and Su Jun's general Han Huang fought fiercely, protracted, although anxious, but could not go back to save the empty base camp, so he had to sit back and watch the nine counties of Jingxiang, which was eaten away by Xie Ai little by little. Xie Ai used soldiers, which was already excellent, plus the general Peng Jun on the flank, and the main and auxiliary two Qin armies, swallowed Beijingzhou little by little.

And Sima Cheng of Xiangzhou was lonely and helpless in the Wangdun Rebellion in the past, and when he fell into despair, only Xie Ailai helped him, so Sima Cheng has always been deeply grateful to Xie Ai. Previously, Xie Ai conquered Jingzhou, and Sima Cheng was in a dilemma, neither wanting to turn his face against Engong, but also unwilling to swallow the land of his home country for the enemy country. After writing a letter of persuasion to no avail, and Xie Ai's soldiers became sharper and sharper, and Xiangyang was surrounded by regiments, Sima Cheng finally couldn't sit still, in terms of personal feelings and justice, he resolutely chose the latter, and when the wind and rain were shaking and people were panicking, he encouraged and mobilized and personally led all the belongings - 20,000 Xiangzhou troops, and resolutely went north to block the powerful Qin army.

The Xiangzhou army had just crossed the water Yunmengze, and bad news came from the front that Xiangyang had fallen into the hands of the Qin army. With the fall of Xiangyang, the Jin army in Northern Jingzhou no longer had the ability to resist, and Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou, which had lost its barrier, was in danger. Sima Cheng was so worried that he had to speed up his pace, hoping to stop the Qin army's southern invasion in the areas of Maicheng and Dangyang north of Jiangling before Xie Ai. But Sima Cheng hurried and hurried, and still underestimated Xie Ai's speed: when he arrived in Jiangling, Xie Ai had already passed Maicheng, less than a hundred miles away from Jiangling.

The general Bu Chong, who was a general of Liu Zhao in the past, fled south after the fall of Liu Zhao, and was transferred to the command of Sima Cheng, and was also a veteran general who had been in battle for a long time. Seeing that the situation was like this, he immediately suggested that Sima Chengzi lead 15,000 men into Jiangling and defend the city with high walls. And he was willing to lead 5,000 people by himself, after the Qin army besieged the city, he continued to attack the rear of the Qin army, cut off the grain road, burned grain and grass, and attacked the camp at night.

Under the grim situation, Sima Cheng suffered from gains and losses, and faintly doubted whether Bu Chong was born in a northern foreign race, and whether he could be relied on at a critical time. So he rejected Bu Chong's repeated exhortations, and ordered the whole army to follow him to meet the Qin army, intending to defeat Xie Ai when he was far away and his foothold was unstable.

But although Xie Ai advanced extremely fast, he was not a reckless unprepared march. In Russia, the Qin army roared in, and the momentum was fierce and thrilling. The Xiangzhou army couldn't even defeat Wang Dun's general Wei Yi in the past, so how could it be able to defeat the Qin army under the command of Xie Ai? Although he was impressed by Sima Cheng's generosity and loyalty, it was limited to the overall combat strength, but in half an hour, the Xiangzhou army was obviously overwhelmed, and finally the whole line was defeated after a while, Sima Cheng was unwilling to flee and was captured by the Qin army.

When Xie Ai saw him, he did not speak harshly or pretentiously, but was very happy, and immediately ordered him to be untied, and gave him a seat to watch tea, and sincerely persuaded him to surrender.

Sima Cheng kept turning his painful wrist, sat still, and remained silent. After feeling Xie Ai's care and kindness, his cold heart couldn't help but feel a little warm, but he finally raised his head and refused.

"In the past, when I almost died at the hands of Wei Yi, it was Gong Xie who generously rescued and finally helped defeat the rebellion. Now, the reason why I sent troops to the enemy regardless of friendship and made thousands of Li Shu in the land of Jingxiang fall into the suffering of war and burning again, is not that I Sima Cheng is ungrateful, or I have a burning desire to be the king and hegemon, but it is actually my body, it is the same blood as Emperor Taizu, I can't sit back and watch the country fall in one day! ”

"Not long after I established the country, I was in turmoil, which can be described as a bad fortune. Your country has a deep relationship with my Great Jin, but it has reached the point where it is now, which makes people sigh. But since it has become an enemy country, I, Sima Cheng, am a clan, and when the country is in danger, if I don't help to support it, how can I be the descendant of the Sima family, and how will I have the face to see Taizu Shizu in the future! ”

Sima Cheng suddenly had mixed feelings, his emotions were overflowing, and he said with red eyes: "I, Sima Cheng, am old and old, with mediocre ability, seeing that the great rivers and mountains are in tatters, and the country is in turmoil, but I can't save the day, how can I not break my liver and intestines in my heart!" Today's defeat of your Xie Gong's hands, although he is ashamed of the deceased, but after all, he is worthy of his ancestors, and he is considered to have done his best. ”

As he spoke, Sima Cheng stood up, bowed deeply at Xie Ai and said, "Contemptible people are exhausted, like ashes. I beg Gong Xie to execute me immediately, so that I will no longer be tormented by the pain of this troubled world, and it can be regarded as Gong Xie Quan's feelings for my old friend. ”
