Chapter 119: The Battle of Luchuan VI

readx;?? Murong Wei heard that Liu Lan, the imperial historian, was going to impeach Taifu Murong Ping, and a wave was set off in his heart, Murong Wei paced a few steps, and then looked at the sky that was still red, and thought, "Liu Lan wants me to remove Murong Ping, I haven't thought about this matter, Murong Ping is the minister of Tuogu, but he did not perform the position of Tuogu, in the early years, he did his best to remove the other important ministers of Tuogu one by one, and in the name of my youth, he and his mother monopolized the government, and now I am already an adult, nominally he has given up the ruling position to me, But he found all kinds of reasons to obstruct my governance, but Murong Ping always had to interfere with my proposals, and I couldn't wait to cut them off as soon as possible. www.biquge.info?w?w?.? It's just that Murong Ping's power is so great, isn't it easy to bring him down, and he still has heavy troops in his hands, if I ask him to blame him at this time, if he defects on the verge of battle and also surrenders the Qin army, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire? Thinking of this, Murong Wei turned to Liu Lan and said: "I can see Aiqing's loyalty to Jiangshan Sheji clearly, but now that the enemy is present, if the commander is changed hastily, I am worried that it will be unfavorable to the army, so at this time, I still need to think long-term." ”

So Murong Wei issued an order, ordered Liu Lan to be the Qin mission, rushed to the former enemy overnight, and ordered Murong Heng, the king of Yidu, to lead 50,000 forbidden troops to the rescue, Murong Wei's other purpose is that if Murong Ping rebels in battle, Murong Heng can directly lead the army to suppress.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and after a night of fighting, the east bank of the Zhuozhang River was full of discarded knives and guns, dead bodies everywhere and tattered flags. The Yan army had retreated more than thirty miles, but thanks to the help of the Yan army on the left and right flanks, it was able to withstand the strong attack of the Qin army, and also kept Murong Ping's Chinese army camp and the mountains of money and goods in his camp. The two armies were at a stalemate again, after all, the Yan army still had an absolute advantage in numbers, so Yun Meng ordered to withdraw his troops immediately. Rest in place to get ready for the next tough battle.

After a night of heart-pounding, Murong Ping was physically and mentally exhausted and had a splitting headache, and at this time he was sitting in the big tent with one palm on his head, closing his eyes and recuperating, and he was still wearing a robe. Murong Kuo counted the number of soldiers in each battalion, and this night, he lost nearly 50,000 people in a row, including the soldiers of the Yan army who fled and did not know where to go. The entire army's grain and grass were almost burned up, and even Taifu's imperial mount, the Western Regions sweat and blood horse, did not know where to go. Looking at the rest of these generals, although there are still more than 300,000 people, they are listless and depressed, and they do not see the slightest will to fight, if he hadn't killed several captains and generals who were about to take the lead in escaping last night, he could barely stop the rout of a large number of soldiers. Otherwise, I don't know how many more people will escape. Now, facing the scene in front of him, Murong Kuo could only sigh and shake his head helplessly. At this time, suddenly a soldier came to report, saying that Lord Qincha, who had arrived from Yecheng again, Murong Kuo hurriedly shook his spirits, sorted out his armor, and went out to greet him, and he didn't go far to see Liu Lan, the imperial historian under the escort of a team of forbidden troops. Murong Kuo took a few steps forward and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Liu is here, and I hope that Lord Liu will forgive your sins." ”

Liu Lan knew Murong Kuo. Hurriedly got off the horse, came to Murong Kuo and arched his hand and said: "The pioneer has worked hard, this official is in accordance with His Majesty's order, and he came to visit the soldiers before coming to the army, I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

Murong Ping sighed and said, "My lord, it's hard to say. Last night, it was attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties, but at present, the main force of our army is still there, and the Qin army does not dare to act rashly. It's just that...... Until now, the last general will not hide it from the adults. It's just that now the morale of the army is weak, and the last general is worried that there will be variables! ”

Liu Lan nodded, looked at the tragic situation of the camp again, and thought, "As I expected, how can Your Majesty be cautious and not make a decision immediately!" Liu Lan asked again: "Pioneer, where is Taifu now?" ”

"After a night of scuffle, now Taifu is resting in the tent." Murong Kuo replied,

"Okay, then General Lao will lead the way, and this official has His Majesty's decree to pass on the Taifu." Liu Lan said and walked into the camp.

Murong Kuo saw that Liu Lan's momentum was not right, and wanted to inform Taifu first, but he didn't expect Liu Lan to stop at all, but strode towards the big tent of the Chinese army, Murong Kuo had to follow, and at the same time shouted loudly towards the big tent: "There is a holy decree to arrive, Taifu quickly accept the decree." ”

Murong Kuo meant to remind Murong Ping in the tent. At this time, Murong Ping had just fallen asleep, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside the tent, and woke up suddenly, but he didn't hear what he was shouting, thinking that Qin Jun was killing again, he stood up with "Teng", and he didn't care about the robe he was wearing fell to the ground, so he ran behind the big tent, trying to escape from behind. I heard someone behind me say loudly: "Where is Master Taifu going to be so flustered?" ”

Murong Ping heard that the voice was familiar, so he stopped, turned around and saw that it was Liu Lan, the imperial historian, and the heart that mentioned his throat and eyes was put down. However, he still looked embarrassed, so he smiled awkwardly and replied: "It turned out that Master Liu was here, and the official just wanted to check the back account, so he was in a hurry." Oh, by the way, what did Lord Liu do when he suddenly came to the army? ”

Seeing Murong Ping's ugliness, Liu Lan couldn't help sneering in her heart, arched her hand and said, "Liu came to visit the soldiers in front of the army at the behest of His Majesty. His Majesty was shocked to hear that the Qin army attacked last night, and knew that the soldiers were working hard to kill the enemy, so he let Liu go on a journey. ”

"Oh! Then there is Lord Lao, speaking of the Qin army is really despicable, first burned our army's grain and grass, and then took the opportunity to steal the camp, but fortunately, there is a proper command of the Taifu, and the whole army will fight hard and will now repel the Qin army, but there is only a small loss, this is also asked Lord Liu to go back and tell Your Majesty, please Your Majesty can rest assured. Murong Ping made up nonsense, trying to cover up last night's fiasco.

"Oh, is it? Taifu is really as stable as Mount Tai! Since Taifu is so confident in dealing with the situation of the war, I will definitely rest assured to His Majesty. Liu Lan said coldly, and then said again: "However, Your Majesty has a few words that you want to let the lower officials tell the Taifu, Your Majesty asked the Taifu to listen to the original words, 'Qing Gui is the Taifu, with the trust of the former emperor and auxiliary government, and is admired by all the people. Your Majesty said this, and please let Master Taifu understand that on the day of your victory, Your Majesty will personally lead a hundred officials to greet your master outside the gate of Yecheng. Murong Ping couldn't hear the meaning of Murong Wei's words, his face turned red and white, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. (To be continued.) )
