Youzhou changed the sky overnight, making the world in an uproar!

"Come, Mr. Mengsun, please take a seat, I am looking for you to come here today because of the matter in Youzhou. This Murong Diao is really not simple, and he has solved the death situation in Liaodong in just over a year. When Sima Shu heard the news, he hurriedly brought Zhang Bin over.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, it is not us who is most worried about Murong Xianbei becoming strong at the moment, but Yuwen Xianbei and Goguryeo, these two forces have a life-and-death enmity with Murong Xian. Don't look at their cooperation in the operation to destroy Wang Jun, once Wang Jun is gone, the common enemy, the contradictions between them can no longer be suppressed. Zhang Bin said with relief.

"Well, Mr. Mengsun is right, so should we add another fire to them? A Liaodong Gong's hat should be fine, right? When Sima Shu said this, a fine light shot out of his eyes.

"Hehe, what Your Majesty said is very true, and Weichen has no objection!"

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Sima Shu to personally decree that Murong Diao be appointed as the Duke of Liaodong, and he was in charge of all military and political affairs in Liaodong and Liaoxi. After the Holy Decree arrived in Youzhou, many forces looked at Murong Xianbei's gaze, which was all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Especially Duan Wu Muchen, why did he actively follow Wang Jun before? Don't you just want to get a Liaoxi male hat to wear? There is also Yuwen Mogui, who is in Liaodong, and he is also very covetous of the Duke of Liaodong on Murong Diao's head.

But they didn't know that when Murong Diao received this holy decree, he was scared into a cold sweat. It was only at this time that Murong Diao realized that the Murong tribe seemed to be in the limelight a little too much this time. It can be seen from the reactions of the other two tribes after the war that the Duan clan and the Yuwen tribe are full of taboos about the strength of the Murong tribe.

Today's Youzhou, Liaodong, and Liaoxi are divided equally by the four forces, and Goguryeo divides the northeast and confronts Murong Xianbei in the three counties of Lelang, Xuansu, and Liaodong; Duan's Xianbei seized the northern counties of Youzhou Yanguo, Beiping County, and Liaoxi County, as well as most of Pingzhou Changping County and the entire Shanggu County; As for the Yuwen tribe, Quang Ninh and Dai counties were included in their sphere of influence.

The rest is basically Murong Xianbei's territory, and it can be seen from the distribution of the territory that Murong Xianbei has taken a big advantage. Their Murong tribe occupied counties close to the interior of the Great Jin Dynasty, which were densely populated and economically developed, much stronger than the so-called 'barren lands' in the north.

Murong Diao is Murong Diao, although he lacks Pei Wei as the mastermind in history, he still relies on his own ability to break through the world.

"Da Dan Yu, in the opinion of the old minister, the whole court of the Great Jin Dynasty is not at ease!" Qinalou looked at the holy decree spread out on the table, and said with a sad face.

"Alas, we are developing so fast that it has aroused the fear of all parties. Now that it comes out like this, I'm afraid it will really become a thorn in the side of others. However, this time the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty made it completely Yangmou, and we were mainly in the Jin Dynasty, and we had just made a great contribution. It is not an exaggeration for the imperial court to confer the title of a prince, but in the eyes of everyone, the imperial court is very worthy of the Murong tribe. Murong Diao said with a solemn face.

"It's not a good thing to be too sharp! Just now, a guard came to report that the Duan clan and Yuwen in the north had strengthened their vigilance, and in the direction of Liaodong, the Goguryeo people were also beginning to move. Qi Nalou told Murong Diao the latest military situation with some concern.

"We're in danger right now! However, danger is often accompanied by opportunity, and Goguryeo is not to worry, the only thing to worry about is the union of the Duan clan and Yuwen, so the pressure on us will be too great. ”

"Da Shan Yu, do you think they will join forces?"

"Who knows?"

At the end of 301 A.D., heavy rains continued in Youzhou in the north, crops were not harvested, and the roads were full of hunger. Murong Diao was sympathetic to the people in Jizhou and opened his granary to help the poor. This not only made the locals grateful to Dade, but also won the favor of the people in several counties and counties in the north, and the people in Daijun and other places even secretly ran to the south to beg for food in order to survive.

This incident further exacerbated the dissatisfaction of the Yuwen tribe and the Duan clan Xianbei against Murong Diao, and in this case, the conflict between the Murong tribe and other forces suddenly intensified.

Other Xianbei tribes in western Liaoning and other places are prevalent in robbery, especially the powerful Yuwen Department and Duan Department, which are even more capable of robbing the east and the west, causing great harm to the local people. After Murong Diao was appointed as the Duke of Liaodong, he began to perform his duties. For the tribes involved in the robbery. Either they persuade each other with good words, or give generous rewards, and try their best to appease them, but if they really do not listen to the call, they will be subdued by force.

In the course of a recent robbery, the Qu Yun Department and the Suyan Department of the Yuwen Department robbed wildly, and even approached the Great Thorn City. Murong Diao put on armor and held a blade, and took the lead in rushing straight to the enemy's formation, and the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, Qu Yun and Su Yanbu were not opponents at all, and fled in a hurry. Murong Diao pursued for more than 100 miles, captured more than 10,000 people, and won a complete victory.

Murong Diao has great talent and knows how to judge the situation. In the last years of Yuankang, after Wang Jun was defeated and retreated to Youzhou, he followed the advice of Qi Nalou and personally went to Luoyang to meet Sima Shu and ask to be attached to the Jin Dynasty.

Sure enough, this action made the fate of the Murong tribe change dramatically, not only obtained a large number of well-made weapons from the Jin Dynasty, but also got the edict to conquer Wang Jun, with the support of the imperial court, he was able to conquer Wang Jun as he wanted to expand his strength.

Just after he easily eliminated Wang Jun, who was ambitious and talented, the imperial court immediately made him Da Shan Yu, Duke of Liaodong, General Long Xiang, etc. Although Sima Shu did this with a little bad intentions, it was not without some benefits to Murong Diao, at least he could justifiably manage the area of Liaodong and Youzhou.

In addition to resolutely implementing the line of respecting the Jin, Murong Diao has achieved such impressive achievements in a short period of time, and there is also an extremely important measure for the subordinates, that is, to rapidly increase the population and vigorously recruit talents, especially to reuse Han talents.

Just after gaining the Yan Kingdom of Youzhou, Murong Diao immediately ordered to recruit the displaced people. Wang Jun's brutality and inhumanity caused Youzhou to be homeless, except for some who fled to Jizhou, most of the rest lived a life of hunger and cold, and food and clothing.

When Sima Shu first came into contact with Youzhou, the entire Youzhou was covered with hunger. Some of those who survived fled in all directions, trying to find a place with a large area and few people and less peace and stability in order to survive.

And the Liaoxi County and Liaodong Kingdom controlled by Murong Diao are such a region, and some scholars even praised: 'The land of Liaodong and Liaoxi, fortunately, there is no rebellion, and the group is regarded as a paradise and a paradise, and they flock to it, like water. ’

Contrary to Wang Jun, the supreme governor of Youzhou, and the western Liaoning section oppressed the people, Murong Diao adopted a policy of active pacification of the displaced people, so that a considerable part of the displaced people poured into Murong Diao's sphere of influence nearby.

The arrival of a large number of displaced people provided Murong Diao with sufficient labor and soldiers, especially after conquering the two counties of Youzhou, so that the Murong tribe mastered the pig iron smelting technology and weapon manufacturing technology for the first time.

In addition to appeasing the common people, Murong Diao regarded the literati, officials, and craftsmen among the displaced people as treasures, and tried his best to recruit and entrust them with important tasks. Some scholars and doctors who had a grudge against Sima Shu did not get the opportunity to display their talents in the Luoyang officialdom, and they were not appreciated by other forces, but when they came to Murong Diao, they were like fish in water.

Although Pei Wei is missing such an incorruptible, square, and strategic talent, there are still other talents who come to him. Song Gai, a native of Pingyuan, Mu Kai, a native of Lanling, and Liu Bin, a native of Changping, were well-educated, and Murong Diao put them in charge of secretarial information.

The people of Guangping are Youdi, the people of Beihai are envious, the people of Beiping are pious in the west, Song Shuang of Xihe, Feng Xuan, Zhu Youjun, Kong Su and others, after Wang Jun's defeat, they successively chose Murong Diao.

Murong Diao has truly achieved 'all over the world' on the official line, and has gathered a large number of talents of all kinds to serve himself. In the Murong clan**, seventy or eighty percent of civil officials are Han, and three or four percent of military attaches are also Han. It is precisely because of the introduction of talents that the Murong tribe has risen rapidly, its economic strength and military strength have increased dramatically, and it has become the most powerful tribe in the northeast region in a short period of time.

At this time, Cui Yu, the captain of Hudongyi, who was previously attached to Wang Jun, was very uneasy about Murong Diao's development and growth, believing that Murong Diao had posed a threat to his position. In order to restrict Murong Diao's development, Cui Yu secretly connected and prepared to secretly form an anti-Murong alliance.

There is a reason why Cui Wei is so hostile to Murong Diao, after all, in the eyes of the imperial court, he has become a rebel, and Murong Diao is precisely the Duke of Liaodong who was entitled by the imperial court, and in order to survive, he had to choose to be the enemy of the powerful Murong Diao.

However, this Cui Bi still has self-knowledge, and he knows that he is definitely not Murong Diao's opponent on his own. So Cui Yu instigated Yuwen Xianbei, Duan's Xianbei, and Goguryeo to organize a coalition of the Quartet to prepare a joint attack on the Murong Ministry.

In the first year of Hongwu, at the end of 301 AD, the Quartet coalition army with a total of 270,000 troops surrounded the political center of the Murong Department in Jiancheng (now Zhangjiyingzi Township, Beipiao City, Liaoning Province). And although Murong Diao claims to have more than 60,000 people, his elite is actually less than 30,000.

After receiving the news of the enemy's attack, he asked the Luoyang court for help, and at the same time consulted with his advisers, and the strategist Lu Chang and others advised him: "Hold the city and wait for the opportunity to divide and attack." ’

Murong Diao followed his words, used the discord strategy, and first sent someone to bring wine, beef and mutton, etc. to reward Yuwenbu. The Duanbu and Goguryeo Ministries, however, were confused by the second monk and began to suspect the Yubunbu, so they hurriedly withdrew their troops. Only the Ubun Department remains. Murong Diao also sent someone to inform the eldest son Murong Han, who was stationed in Tuhe (present-day Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province), to withdraw, forming a flanking attack.

Yuwen Mogui, the lord of the Yuwen Ministry, sent troops to attack Murong Han first, but was defeated by an ambush, Murong Han took advantage of the victory to pursue, and at the same time, Murong Diao also led troops out of the city to attack, the Yuwen tribe army was in chaos and surrendered one after another, Yuwen Mogui fled in a hurry, and the Quartet alliance army also completely failed.

Murong Diao took advantage of the situation to crusade against Cui Yu, but Cui Yu was powerless to resist and fled to Goguryeo like a lost dog. After this battle, Murong Diao became the most powerful military group in eastern and western Liaoning. (To be continued.) )
